Questions in Dutch parliament after citizen is killed in farm attack

During yet another gruesome farm attack in South Africa, a Dutch national was killed on Moseley Farm on the R40 road to the small town of Barberton in the north eastern part of the country. The news has caused a stir in the Netherlands.

    The murder on Friday took the life of the 55-year-old victim, Peet van Es. His Dutch companion survived the attack. Van Es died after suffering immense pain during hours of torture.

    Five masked black assailants attacked the farm. When they entered the homestead, three armed attackers came in first, followed by the remaining two. They tied down his female partner Arine Prins and a friend identified only as Michael, assaulting them to attain access to the safe.

    The armed suspects wearing balaclavas entered the house after 20:00. “My husband was upstairs and we were downstairs when they arrived,” Prins said.

    “The suspects tied our hands and legs using speaker wire they found in our house. They assaulted me, demanding to know where we keep the safe in the house,” she told the Barberton Times. The assailants then made their way to the second story of the house where they tortured Van Es.

    “During this torment, some went upstairs and eventually stabbed my husband to death.” They had tortured Van Es for five hours before they killed him. Prins had heard his agonizing screams.

    “They took the jewellery I was wearing before leaving our property. After they left, I screamed for help,” she said.

    When the reporters from the local paper visited her the next morning, she had severe facial bruises from the attack.

    The widow told the Barberton Times that the criminals had fled the scene in the victim’s stolen car.

    “There is even a name for it: plaasmoorde, as in the Afrikaans word for farm murders,” says Dutch correspondent Bram Vermeulen. “In 2016 there were over 300 of these types of attacks, where 64 farmers or their family members were killed. It often happens in horrific ways, farmers are not only robbed, but also tortured.”

    Organisations defending the white community in South Africa found that the government, led by the ANC, were doing too little to solve the problem.

    This year has seen 25 similar killings already. In this case too, the attack had been planned with military precision.

    In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders’s party, the PVV, addressed the issue during a session in the Lower House of parliament. The party is concerned about the lack of protection offered to white farmers in South Africa by law enforcement.

    Questions by members Raymond De Roon and Martin Bosma (both PVV) to the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the issue of a farm murder on a Dutch citizen in South Africa, included whether the government could explain the fact that the number of farm murders had recently risen sharply.

    The members wanted to know in what percentage of cases where charges were brought against the alleged killers, those charges actually led to convictions.

    Both members expressed concern that the murder docket would, during a police investigation, end in the customary African way of disappearing “under a thick layer of dust”.

    They called on Dutch authorities to pressure the South African government to protect the Dutch farming community in South Africa against more bloodshed and suggested that the economic mismanagement by the ANC’s cadres contributed to the problem.

    “The question is whether farmers are specifically targeted or whether South Africa just has a problem with criminality in which farmers also happen to suffer,” Vermeulen told Dutch public broadcaster NOS. “In farmers’ organisations as well as in so-called ‘far-right circles’ it is said that politics cause farm murders: If they kill enough, then the white farmers would disappear from the country.”

    Investigations led by the ANC, however, always come to the same conclusion: it is ordinary crime, and farmers like other residents of the country are often victims, but there is no political agenda behind it.

    The question remains however: If it is only “ordinary crime”, why are the victims tortured to death?

    3. This is what`s happening in South Africa after the president Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema instigates their followers with racism and hate speeches against the white people in South Africa .Singing songs like kill the boer kill the farmer and shoot the boer . And bring me my machine gun we will shoot them !!! This is a slow genocide https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/448635d6df01fbe77c267c14908c473ec3d90ca613731df9e92d9535ba7b1b92.jpg

    4. In a way it sounds like Obama and Michelle in the US. I like that I don’t have to see their disgusting faces all the time in the news any more. Obama instigated the racial wars in this country, and instigated hatred against the police, and as consequence several police officers were murdered and were hesitant about reacting to crimes because of getting in trouble. But no comment on crimes in Chicago, murders of blacks on blacks, the mayor being Obama’s buddy, Eric Holder.

    9. De corrupte ANC chants bij elke vergadering “Kill the Boer, kill the lafaard farmer”, zelfs al is het tegen de wet. Zelfs twee weken geleden verstoren ze de oppositie DA – Johannesburg bijeenkomst met dit soort liederen. Het is erg om hier te wonen en de marteling van mensen op boerderijen is verschrikkelijk. Het is chaos en anarchie. Corruptie en moord vier hoogtij

    10. This is definitely white genocide and by the looks of things, it is not going to get better but only worse. Terribly, terribly sad …

      Comment by Rebecca Haynes on April 14, 2017 at 10:51 am

    11. It will be like Rhodesia, when the whites left, the blacks destroyed the farms, the equipments, and then the country stagnated and people were starving, because they don’t know what to do, just violence. Then the government was calling the whites to come back. Too bad now that Europe is as bad and dangerous as the hell holes the invaders left behind. Europeans are moving from their towns/cities due to the violence of the rapefugees. Where will the white farmers move to?

    15. Some farmers and the surrounding communities in SA have armed guards with night vision devices that shoot and kill these maurading apes. Most attacks happen at night because they blend in, the thermal vision equipment identifies them and they are gunned down. the bodies are left to rot or dragged to the river as croc food.

      Comment by nignogger on April 18, 2017 at 5:47 am

    16. Great! I’ve been reading that this has been a problem in SA since the blacks took over. They’ll go back to the stone age if they have their way.: live in huts, crap in holes and attack each other tribes to steal the females, cows or make them slaves and sell them to the Arab slave traders.

    17. you must be joking, and your word choices are truly unfortunate . Farm attacks is a serious and tragic problem and you make it worse. Farmers protect themselves within the law

      Comment by Thembi on April 26, 2017 at 5:26 pm

    18. Rationale and logic are not foremost in the mind of the typical anc supporter – loot, steal and plunder and ‘free stuff’ is the order of the day and murder to gain this is commonplace.

    21. There is only one solution for the white people of South Africa if they are to survive long enough to help this country out of the darkness that now suffocates this land: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Head_of_the_United_Nations_call_for_the_self_determination_of_white_South_Africans/

    22. It is 100% an orchestrated, mass-murder. The weapons are supplied

    23. The only way that Dutch politicians deign to mention the white genocide that is taking place in South Africa is when a Dutch citizen is killed… The bigger issue here is ignored. How pathetic. Shame on them!

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s

    CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections

    EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

    Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter

    The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.

    The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide

    Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.

    Alternative for Germany held its conference during the last weekend of July in the thousand-year-old city of Magdeburg, located by the Elbe River in the eastern German state of Saxony. The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    Strong Confidence in German AfD

    Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

    The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”.
