Urge neither charity nor shame to me: Uncharitably with me have you dealt, And shamefully by you my hopes are butcher’d. - Shakespeare. I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die. - Shakespeare. The Rhodesian Railways train stops for water in the desert. Crowds of ragged Africans mob the train, running hysterically to any white face in the window. “Please one penny, baasjie (bossie), please give me just one penny”, whimpers a filthy child with a swollen belly and bony limbs, barely old enough to walk. Someone throws him a coin. He is beaten viciously and the penny snatched. In the distance stand thousands of windowless tin shacks, like tool sheds, against a boiling plain after a freezing night; this is a government housing project. Hundreds of other shacks built of trash, paper, and bits of tin, have rocks on the roof to keep them from blowing away. No visible paved roads; few roads of any kind. Scores of teenage prostitutes and hoodlums lounge amongst the filth, coming on board the train to use the toilets. Trash everywhere. Not a white man in sight. Is this Rhodesia? No. This is Botswana, Black Africa. Bush, desert, now trees, an unchanging landscape of monotony and misery. Suddenly a modern gasoline station appears: like a laboratory experiment showing the effect of an invisible line drawn on a map. Suddenly the roads are paved; the Africans are well dressed and muscular, walking about seemingly unconcerned. No shacks. No trash. No begging. <strong>...</strong></p>Rotberg Robert Irwin - The founder Cecil Rhodes and the pursuit of powerurn:md5:f4d8b8f3cf8513385b1516eccc3f73c02019-10-27T01:08:00+00:002019-10-27T00:14:28+01:00balderRotberg Robert IrwinAfricaNovelSouth Africa <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Rotberg_Robert_Irwin_-_The_founder_Cecil_Rhodes_and_the_pursuit_of_power.jpg" alt="" /><br />

"The Grandest Opportunities" A Preface. The agenda was defined a decade ago : "A biography (of Rhodes) adequate for historians of Africa or of imperialism and a biography in its own right has yet to be written." A wise critic, Jeffrey Butler desired a study which would bring together "Rhodes the businessman and Rhodes the politician, Rhodes the creator and ruler of Rhodesia and Rhodes the Cape politician; Rhodes the South African and Rhodes the actor in English politics and money markets; and perhaps above all, Rhodes the formulator of 'native policy.' <strong>...</strong></p>Fjordman - Defeating Eurabiaurn:md5:4366dab84eedc898958e8cbb91c845c62018-05-19T11:38:00+01:002018-05-19T10:39:14+01:00balderFjordmanAfricaChristConspiracyEuropeIslamUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Fjordman_-_Defeating_Eurabia.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The Eurabia Code. This essay was originally published in several parts at the website Jihad Watch in October 2006, and then republished as one essay at the Gates of Vienna blog. “That such an unnecessary and irrational superstate was ever embarked on will seem in future years to be perhaps the greatest folly of the modern era.” - Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister. “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” - Cicero, Roman statesman and lawyer. I decided to write this essay after a comment from a journalist, not a Leftist by my country’s standards, who dismissed Eurabia as merely a conspiracy theory, one on a par with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I do not disagree with the fact that conspiracy theories exist, nor that they can be dangerous. <strong>...</strong></p>Joseph Frank - The lost treasure of king Jubaurn:md5:c9f1736cb31619ea285086b25b1f79f22017-10-10T00:00:00+01:002018-04-14T19:52:45+01:00balderJoseph FrankAfricaAmericaConspiracyEurope <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Joseph_Frank_-_The_lost_treasure_of_king_Juba.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. As the editor in chief of Ancient American magazine, I am regularly prevailed upon by mostly amateur archaeologists to publish their reports of overseas visitors to our continent during pre-columbian times. While many of these submissions may be interesting, sometimes provocative, they are usually unsubstantiated by any credible physical evidence. A story first brought to my attention in 1993, however, was supported by an abundance of material items—more than seven thousand, in fact. The sheer volume of such alleged proof combined with the often superb workmanship of numerous individual pieces argued persuasively on behalf of their authenticity. Even so, I was baffled by not only the magnitude of the discovery, but also the profusion of its disparate cultural imagery. How was one to account for images that appeared to be Romans, Celts, Christians, Jews, West African blacks, Egyptians, and Phoenicians all represented together at a single, subterranean site in, of all places, southern Illinois? Over the next nine years, I not only described the Burrows Cave collection in several feature Ancient American articles, but also undertook my own investigation of the supposed artifacts to determine their authenticity, at least to my own satisfaction. The conclusions of various authorities in mineralogy and ancient written languages I consulted suggested that retrieval of the seven thousand images found near a tributary of the Ohio River represented the greatest archaeological event in history, far more spectacular than the opening of Pharaoh Tutankhamen’s tomb sixty years before. The Illinois tomb not only appeared to contain vaster amounts of buried treasure, but, more valuably, also demonstrated that Roman-era visitors crossed the Atlantic Ocean to establish a settlement in North America nearly fifteen centuries before Columbus sailed from Spain. Although the saga of these voyagers is far from completely understood and the unveiling of Burrows Cave signifies a work in progress, both are aspects of a story that must be told. I have combined years of my own research with the expertise of professional scientists and enlightened enthusiasts alike to create a mosaic from different fragments of evidence. Bringing these pieces together - fitting them into a complex archaeological puzzle - was my purpose in writing this book. Through its pages march heroes and villains, tyrants and freedom fighters, mystics and profiteers, victors and survivors. Their story is valuable because it is our story, lost for the last two thousand years but now gradually coming to light from its underground burial sanctuary. With its retelling, the dead will live again, and the roots of American history, far deeper and older than suspected, stand revealed. <strong>...</strong></p>The Cheetah - Souvenir editionurn:md5:aeddde174c31e401bcff42e273fca6d92017-03-10T12:02:00+00:002017-03-10T12:03:36+00:00balderThe CheetahAfricaJewRevueRhodesiaUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/The_Cheetah_-_Souvenir_edition.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Removal of the trooper. At 1100 hours on 25 July 1980 the Battalion paraded before the Regimental War Memorial to honour The Fallen for the last time before '"The Trooper" was dismantled and moved to a new resting place. In a simple but moving ceremony CSMs solemly read the Rolls of Honour. Padre Bill 'Blakeway addressed the Unit and read a final prayer and then, to the mournful skirl of the pipes, the traditional wreaths were laid by the Commanding Officer, Commando Commanders and the President of the Association, Col John Salt. After the Last Post and Reveille the Battalion, accompanied by the Regimental Colour carried by Lt Bobby Harrison, marched past "The Trooper" for the last time. A small but interested crowd had gathered under a wintry sky to witness the Unit's farewell to a much respected symbol of sacrifice. Regrettably time precluded a more formal occasion and invitations could not be sent out to ERE and past members of the Battalion. "The Trooper" has now been moved and is due to be reerected in the near future. Here ex-members will gather every Regimental Birthday to pay homage to The Fallen. In the meantime the tradition of saluting "The Trooper" continues and notwithstanding the bare plinth RLI soldiers salute as they pass The Holy Ground as a mark of respect to those who gave their lives whilst serving in the Unit. <strong>...</strong></p>Report on the 1980's disturbances in Matabeleland and the Midlandsurn:md5:7c3311321a8aa1018cb53f689948b3962017-03-10T11:57:00+00:002017-03-10T12:00:25+00:00balderCollective worksAfricaCommunismNew ZealandRhodesiaScience <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Report_on_the_1980_s_disturbances_in_Matabeleland_and_the_Midlands.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. The writing of the current report has been possible only because Zimbabwe is currently enjoying a period of stability and national unity which did not exist ten years ago. The country now known as Zimbabwe has, in the last hundred years, had a history marred by internal conflicts: the current state of peace in the nation is unprecedented. The signing of the Unity Accord in December 1987 brought an end to the disturbances which this report documents. In 1990, the lifting of the Emergency Powers Regulations, which had been in existence since the Rhodesian Government first instituted them in 1965, did away with the Zimbabwe Government's extra legal powers, many of which had allowed for the infringement of basic human rights. Zimbabwe's current human rights record, while still not perfect, is better than it has ever been since Independence in 1980. The disturbances documented in this report also need to be placed in a historical context. Zimbabwe did not come to Independence easily: the decade which preceded Independence was one which saw the fighting of an increasingly violent civil war, a war which cost many thousands of civilian lives and caused untold hardship and suffering. While the full number of casualties will never be known, it has been estimated that at least 30 000 people died countrywide, although real numbers of dead could be more than double this figure. Most of these casualties were in the north and eastern regions of Zimbabwe, or in external training and refugee camps in Zambia and Mozambique, although there was no region of the country that was not severely affected by the Liberation War. As in any conflict, damage cannot be measured in deaths alone: tens of thousands of Zimbabweans were displaced from their rural homes in northern and eastern Zimbabwe into "Protected Villages" (PVs), run by the Rhodesian Defence Forces. The relocation of people into these PVs was done in an effort to prevent rural civilians from feeding, and providing intelligence to, the guerrilla armies: conditions were cruel, and led to massive human rights abuses, including wide-spread malnutrition. The PV policy was combined with "Operation Turkey", the code name given to the policy of destroying crops in rural areas in an attempt to cut the guerrillas off from their food supplies. Needless to say, such a policy also impacted adversely on innocent civilians, exacerbating the starvation already being caused by life in the PVs. The placing of people in PVs was a form of state organised violence against civilians: no doubt many, especially children raised in such places, still suffer the mental consequences of this experience. Thousands of civilians were also detained indefinitely without trial during the 1970s, including many of those at the forefront of the nationalist movements, ZANU and ZAPU. President Robert Mugabe and Vice President Joshua Nkomo were both detained for many years. Thousands of young men and women who left the country to train as freedom fighters also sacrificed their own opportunities to gain an education, while others ended the war with permanent physical or mental disabilities. While there are legal mechanisms in place through which war veterans can claim help and compensation, not all ex-fighters are aware of this, or know how to take advantage of the law. For many hundreds, possibly thousands, of war veterans and their families, the hardship continues. It is also acknowledged that since Independence, Matabeleland and the Midlands are not the only parts of the country to have suffered as the result of internal disturbances. In the late 1980s, there were human rights abuses in the eastern districts of the country, as a result of MNR bandit activity. The South African-backed, Mozambique-based MNR bandits were responsible for serious human rights abuses, particularly in Mount Darwin in the north east of Zimbabwe and in Chipinge in the south east, from 1988 onwards. While these abuses involved only small areas of the country, their effects were extremely harsh for those civilians involved. Scores of innocent people in this region were murdered, mutilated, or had to live with daily insecurity as a result of this conflict. <strong>...</strong></p>Mullen James E. - The arab builders of Zimbabweurn:md5:9d3253c796e70e5aff5925e7ab7f5c892017-03-10T11:44:00+00:002017-05-18T09:59:46+01:00balderMullen James E.AfricaArabAustraliaConspiracyJewNew ZealandPropagandaRhodesia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Mullen_James_E_-_The_arab_builders_of_Zimbabwe.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Introduction. This book represents an attempt by one who might be described as "the man in the street", to co-relate the findings and opinions of the experts in order to obtain a solution of the Zimbabwe mystery. In doing so, as is only too evident, the writer can lay no claim to having produced something of literary merit—with the possible exception of a few quotations from the various authors, whose works have been consulted, and to whom, because of their contributions towards the solving of this intriguing mystery, we are all greatly indebted. This work was not undertaken because of being prompted by some particular political bias, but is the outcome of an interest in the Ba Lemba. which was awakened in the author many years ago. when serving as a missionary in the Northern Transvaal, but which only now, after so long a time, has resulted, through opportunity for further study of the subject, in the production of this book. The question may well be asked: But why another book on this subject, especially in view of the fact, that many, considered to be experts, have written and expressed their conclusions ? <strong>...</strong></p>Mes Gerritt Marie - Now men and tomorrow menurn:md5:59487ddfd212615003176d0502c929c52017-03-10T11:40:00+00:002017-03-10T11:42:46+00:00balderMes Gerritt MarieAfricaC.F.R.ConspiracyRhodesia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Mes_Gerritt_Marie_-_Now_men_and_tomorrow_men.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Foreword. People vary greatly both as individuals and communities in the extent of the provision they make for their futures. Hunters, like the Bushmen, keep weapons and tools with which they can hunt, dig, collect and carry their food, but they live from day to day, on what they find or encounter, almost like lower animals. Those who dry and smoke, or salt their fleshy food like the Eskimos and other fishermen, have learnt food storage. Nomads, that take their herds on trek, and agriculturists who harvested crops learned to look still further into the future. Out of this there developed that sense of time which governs everything city dwellers do. Invisible time dominates the lives of every civilised person and industrial community. The schoolbell punctuated each work day of our youth until holidays came. As adults our daily lives on land, at sea or in the air depend upon accuracy of timing. Nobody escapes. In the country and city alike our lives are based on its ruthless passing. Times of sleeping and waking, of learning and labour, of eating and recreation: they all go by the clock. So time, though intangible, is something that all of us naturally take, and are forced by circumstances long since outside the control of any individual human being, to take extremely seriously. Alarm clocks awaken the sleepy heads. Watches are on our wrists, diaries in our pockets or handbags, and calendars placed on our desks or suspended in our workshops. Our wages come each week or each month along with our bills We celebrate a regular series of birthdays and holidays each year. We serve apprenticeships over a stated number of years and gain diplomas or degrees. Hence time is also something that every human being rightly thinks he or she knows a great deal about. Its importance has been drilled into us by proverbs from infancy. Take time by the forelock! Time and tide wait for no man! Over two thousand years ago the great Greek tragic poet Aeschylus was telling his audience "time is the great teacher." Those words 'time' and 'tide' both have their source in the simple Aryan root TI 'cut or divide'. Invisible and intangible as time is, man gradually mastered the art of dividing it. Those words may help us to see when that dividing process started. Our words for that major time division a 'month' is inseparable from the word 'moon'. So it is likely that the root MAN (MEN) which gave us words such as 'man, woman, memory, menstruation' and the like is merely an expansion of the primary root MA (ME) which earlier still had given us words like 'mamma' to English, mamma 'breast' to Latin and meter 'mother' to Greek The same root gave Aryans their words for 'making and measuring or creating’. The fact that another closely related Aryan root MER (MAR, MOR) gave us words ‘such as marsh, mere, morass mortal’ may indicate that when our ancestors were becoming articulate about time and dividing it by the aid of measuring the moon’s phases they were also fishermen deeply concerned with the tides and the sea, that brought them food in plenty besides the possibility of sudden death, twice daily. Remembering those things were matters of urgency. Despite the length of early civilising man’s thinking about time and his observations of heavenly bodies and his recordings down the ages of their comings and goings, their movements and eclipses, and despite his naming them and worshipping them, what we do with our understanding of time is still rudimentary. <strong>...</strong></p>Mes Gerritt Marie - Mr. White man what now ?urn:md5:7d07741a745780ab82991d5d2fc277152017-03-10T11:29:00+00:002021-01-12T01:28:15+00:00balderMes Gerritt MarieAfricaRhodesia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Mes_Gerritt_Marie_-_Mr_White_man_what_now.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Foreword. In his recent book "Now Men and To-morrow Men", Mr. Mes expounded a new theory, supported by arguments which would require strong counter arguments indeed, to cast doubt upon the correctness of the theory. He concluded that in the scale of evolution the transition from the ape-man to man occurred not when his skull took on a different shape but when his mind became conscious of the future and lifted him out of the paradise of the present, which is that of the animal world. This occurred not on the day that our ancestor made his first tool or weapon but on the day that he remembered to keep the stick or stone which had come fortuitously in his hands because of the nature of the terrain where he had just used it, in a contest. He henceforth would have a weapon at hand whatever the nature of the terrain and could of course gain a great advantage over his enemies by choosing the battleground. From then on the choosing, shaping and making of weapons and tools followed automatically together with all the advantages to be thus gained over an adversary who did not know of his future existence. This faculty of a future-sense developed sporadically and at a different pace in different parts of the world until man of today could be broadly classed into three categories, without clear boundaries but broadly typical of the extent of such development: The man of the east whose future-sense had reached eternity, making him in his thinking a fatalist - merely a link in the chain of eternity. The Bantu of Africa with a very short future-sense and the happier for it because of his ability to enjoy the present without much concern for the future, and the White man of Western Europe with a short to medium future-sense, the restless go-getter to whom is denied the restful resignation of his fatalistic long-futured or happy short-futured fellow man. The present work is an endeavour by the author to apply his theory to the rise and fall of past civilisations and to seek an explanation for this manifestation, naturally with an eye on all manner of other factors to avoid over-simplification. Step by step and with logical sequence he brings us to the rise of our present "Western Civilisation.” He pinpoints its advent with the development of the fire-arm and the ability of the medium-futured to use it because of his approach to life, based on the “survival of the fittest" in a world which to him had a sufficient future to justify such use. The short-futured have a "tempo-cognition" which may extend quite far into the future but it is not real to him - his "tempo realisation". He is satisfied to fight today without much thought of tomorrow. The very long-futured regard fighting as pointless in the scheme of things. The white man with his gun saw the advantages. He could shoot the taboos out of the Gods of the short-futured and subdue the long-futured ones who were not much interested in who governed, as such, because all they wanted was to be left alone, provided life was not made too unendurable while it lasted. The white man, with a "tempo-realisation" of say four years and a "tempo-cognition" of about 30 years, with his gun in his hand saw the advantages of being the "master" and of course, taking the bounty. He put his gun to use, thus becoming the ruler of the world and wealth with ease and luxury in sight. Two devastating world wars, however, have made him tired of carrying the burdens of overlordship, which is a much more difficult self-taxing position than that of the slave, who must do his work, but may look to the master to house, feed and protect him and, most important, make all the decisions for him, involving all the future implications of such decisions. In his flight from the responsibilities created by his past conduct the white man is withdrawing his white policemen all over the world, leaving his wards without the machinery by which they governed themselves before his advent, but in its stead a "Whitehall constitution" which is workable only where the population is medium-futured. <strong>...</strong></p>Macdonald J.

Foreword By the Hon. Sir Godfrey Huggins, K.C.M.G., C.H., Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia. IT IS with pleasure that I recommend to the attention of Rhodesians, in the year of victory in the west, an account of what has been done by the men of this Colony to bring to a successful issue hostilities upon the soil of Africa. It is not so long ago that the Government of Southern Rhodesia was considering matters of vital policy, what this country could contribute to fend off from its borders a preponderant and boastful enemy. I am glad to recommend to the reading public this story of victory in Africa; for things might have turned out so very differently. Only by magnifying many times over the effort made by Southern Rhodesians which is described in these pages, can we obtain a clear picture of how much courage and determination it took to bring about the longed-for issue, by which the British people have again saved for humanity the causes of democratic freedom and individual liberty. Had the faith been less, the spirit smaller, we should now have little reason to rejoice. As we read of the hardships suffered by our men, of the loneliness, the thirst, the danger, we are grateful to these young warriors who through privation brought us this victory. We realise, too, that many who turn these pages will do so with sadness. No price was too great to pay; but these people, by the loss of husband, sweetheart, son and father, or it may be of youth and health, have done the paying. We give them a tribute of feeling which we translate wherever possible into action. Even if we can in no way pay the debt directly, we can do so indirectly by using mind and imagination to promote the wise direction of national and international affairs in future. The future is ours through that price paid, and it is our part to ensure its quality and not to allow the potentialities of victory by lethargy to be frittered away. So I commend this book to the Rhodesians of to-morrow. Many of them are returning from active fronts to begin their mature life in the ways of peace. They joined the ranks from school, and so know little of civilian responsibilities and the economic routine. These they will learn. And it may be that years hence they will feel a thank- fulness to have known long ago and at the very beginning, something of the great world, and of the fundamental sources of human action, human bravery. It must give them a background that the rest may envy, to have faced death and won through from immense perils to the joys that safe people too often take for granted, the joys of fresh air, of food when one is hungry, of one's own family and one's own fireside. They will not underrate, when they contrast this place with the older countries they have seen upon their travels, the peculiar characteristics of Rhodesia, its width, its kindly sunlight, and its friendliness. This book records a portion of their great adventure, by which we are the gainers, and for which, in the name of Rhodesia, we thank them. <strong>...</strong></p>Illustrated life Rhodesia - Strike force of the terror warurn:md5:5100e3d605173fd809324de75ac93ec42017-03-10T10:47:00+00:002017-03-10T10:50:24+00:00balderIllustrated life RhodesiaAfricaBolchevikCommunismJewRhodesiaRussia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Illustrated_life_Rhodesia_-_Strike_force_of_the_terror_war.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Foreword. This is a salute to our farmers - white and black farmers and their families who have been in the frontline of the terror war for more than a decade. This is their story told by them. It is a story of heroism and tragedy, of dedicated determination and tenacity in the face of an unprecedented onslaught on the land. Many have died and many more have been maimed. Their moral and physical courage is being sorely tried and tested over and again. Lord Moran, who was Sir Winston Churchill's physician for more than a quarter of a century, once wrote: "Courage is willpower ... A man's courage is his capital and he is always spending ..." There is no doubting the willpower of the farming community. Courage has different faces. There is the courage to stand up and shoot back to drive the raiders from the homestead and land; there is, too, the courage to plough, plant and reap another crop, putting all at risk season after season. The Farmer at War is also a tribute to those in commerce and industry who provide vital services to agriculture; a tribute to agronomists, extension and veterinary officers in both the public and private sectors; a tribute to the Police and Security Forces. Their combined contribution is incalculable. Foremost, however, this salute is to the women behind the men - the farming wives. In them lies the strength of our nation.

Foreword by Major General J. Anderson, C.B.E. Chief of General Staff Rhodesia and Nyasaiand Army. Today is for us a memorable but sad occasion. Memorable in that we have all units of the Rhodesia and Nyasaiand Army represented on parade, but sad because it is the last time that this will happen, and because we are saying farewell to the Federal Prime Minister—who has played such a prominent part in building up and equipping our Army to what it is today. The officers and men of the Army are proud of their association with Sir Roy and will always treasure the memory of one who showed the keenest interest in our activities and who gave us his unlimited support, whatever the circumstances. To Sir Roy and Lady Welensky we say 'Farewell' and wish them the very best in the future. To all ranks of the Army, many of whom will be serving in other Armies, I would like to say that we hope to continue some form of affiliation with you, even if only through the medium of sporting activities or weapon meetings. Good luck to you all. <strong>...</strong></p>Anatomy of terrorurn:md5:cc757f2270eadd43280cd510dae72f732017-03-09T15:39:00+00:002017-03-09T15:42:13+00:00balderCollective worksAfricaEconomyRhodesia <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Anatomy_of_terror.jpg" alt="" /><br />

This is not a pretty book. The pictures inside depict a few of the many atrocities perpetrated by the so-called Freedom Fighters in Rhodesia. Outright torture has long been a weapon of the Communist - trained thugs who, for the past 15 years, have been trying to force their philosophies on an unwilling and peaceloving, indigenous, population. The incidents and pictures in this book record the wave of atrocities - murder, rape, abduction, torture, beatings, robberies and cattle maimings, over the last 18 months. If, as they say, the people are on their side, why is it necessary for them to resort to such barbarism in order to convince them? It is a sober thought that the people who perpetrate these crimes are financed and comforted by the international community and the World Council of Churches. Perhaps this publication will serve to prove the calibre of men who masquerade as liberators of a so-called oppressed community who are supposed to be in rebellion against a white-dominated Government. Let no one doubt the message it conveys. For this is the "new order" that the Organization of African Unity would seek to introduce to Rhodesia. This is the work of people inspired by African despots, massacres in the former Belgian Congo, wholesale murder of the Lumpas in Zambia, the bloody toll of Burundi, the butchers of Biafra and the assassins of Zanzibar - the whole blood-stained fabric of African aspirations. This then is the anatomy of terror. <strong>...</strong></p>Moore Robin - The Crippled Eaglesurn:md5:31427b602fccf12ce972c05d7c58c3212016-12-24T09:30:00+00:002016-12-24T09:32:32+00:00balderMoore RobinAfricaGermanyRhodesiaSouth AfricaUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Moore_Robin_-_The_Crippled_Eagles.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Jobo sat on the bed and Sister McFarland eased his pants off and then unbuttoned his shirt so that the two of them would be skin to skin. As Sister McFarland lay back Jobo plunged deep inside her and let out a deep grunt of pleasure. She cried out in happiness as he moved within her. "Oh God, thank you, God. Thank you. God for letting me do your work." The spirit of the Lord suffused her as she experienced the ecstatic pleasure of giving herself over to His will. Jobo's pent-up venal appetite was now in full spate. His mind was aflame as he approached consumation with the white woman. Sister McFarland, reaching a climax she knew would be perfectly timed with his, cried out in religio-erotic rapture. Then Jobo filled her with what seemed to be the very essence of his being. Hazily Sister McFarland reveled in the penetrating odor that came from his body. She wondered idly if white men smelled like this in the throes of sexual expression, and then castigated herself for the sinful thought. She was a nun, dedicated to God's work on earth. Even thinking about sex with a white man, just sex for its own sake, was a blasphemy before the Lord, her religion, her mission in life, her deepest beliefs. <strong>...</strong></p>Doyle Arthur Conan - The great Boer warurn:md5:a49d913bfd5d2b61708f25757b735b0e2016-10-02T03:31:00+01:002016-10-02T02:33:58+01:00balderDoyle Arthur ConanAfricaEnglandHollandJewSouth AfricaUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Doyle_Arthur_Conan_-_The_great_Boer_war.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Preface. It is possible that a fuller knowledge may give an entirely different meaning to some of the events of the Boer war. This account is compiled with as much accuracy as is attainable at this date, and with as much detail as a single volume will permit. The occasional judgments and criticisms on which I have ventured may be founded upon error, but at least they are made without either fear or favour. In frequent conversations with Boers I have endeavoured to get their views upon both political and military questions. The book was begun in England and continued on board a steamer, but the greater part was written in a hospital tent in the intervals of duty during the epidemic at Bloemfontein. Often the only documents which I had to consult were the convalescent officers and men who were under our care. Under these circumstances some errors may have crept in, but on the other hand I have had the inestimable advantage of visiting the scene of this great drama, of meeting many of the chief actors in it, and of seeing with my own eyes something of the actual operations. <strong>...</strong></p>Rhodes Cecil John - The last will and testament of Cecil John Rhodesurn:md5:4d20f1ee8d7ef4091dcf6d24c2ecbc412016-07-26T11:18:00+01:002016-07-30T10:19:07+01:00balderRhodes Cecil JohnAfricaEnglandFreemasonrySouth AfricaUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Stead_William_Thomas_-_The_last_will_and_testament.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Abstracts. In the past different researchers have come to diverging cognitive ability estimates for people in Africa and of African descent. The paper tries to check the validity of past results by comparing them with outcomes of two new psychometric test studies from East and South Africa; with results from student assessment studies; with predictions based on those variables which, outside Africa, correlate most strongly with intelligence; and by comparing them with further indicators of cognitive ability (descriptions of everyday life and human accomplishment). Integrating these cognitive ability measures with the application of several corrections (due to the higher age of students in Africa, lower African school enrollment, selectivity of samples and higher African secular IQ rise), the best guess for an African average is IQ 75. <strong>...</strong></p>Stead William Thomas - The Americanisation of the Worldurn:md5:62f3f4799b2d2438eaed9b5ef97cc7202016-03-15T07:53:00+00:002016-03-15T08:02:18+00:00balderStead William ThomasAfricaAmericaAnglo-SaxonAustraliaCanadaChinaConspiracyEconomyEnglandGuyaneIndiaIrelandLondonNew ZealandNorth AmericaPhilippinesRhodesiaSouth AfricaSouth AmericaUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img3/Stead_William_Thomas_-_The_Americanisation_of_the_World.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The heart of Africa is being rapidly depopulated in consequence of the enormous death-roll caused by the barbarous slave-trade. It is not merely the bondage which slavery implies that should appeal to the sympathies of the civilized world; it is the bloodshed, cruelty, and misery which it involves. During my residence in Central Africa I was repeatedly traveling about in the villages along the Congo River and its almost unknown affluents, and in every new village I was confronted by fresh evidences of the horrible nature of this evil. I did not seek to witness the sufferings attendant upon this traffic in humanity, but cruelties of all kinds are so general that the mere passing visits which I paid brought me in constant contact with them. <strong>...</strong></p>
