A 71-year-old man tied a gun to a weather balloon to fake his own murder, police say

Very interesting case.

Russia To Offer Asylum To 15,000 White South African Farmers?

Spoiler for FULL ARTICLE:



A delegation of Boers recently travelled to the world’s largest country to consider taking their money and escaping from farm murders and expropriation.

The world’s largest country, Russia, which remains relatively underpopulated for its size, is reportedly considering welcoming thousands of white South African farmers into its borders to boost its agricultural industry.

A group of about 15 000 farmers have reportedly offered their services to the country, to go and farm in the south, while investing their savings in the country and offering English lessons as well.

According to a Russian news channel, the plan is for the first 30 families to first establish themselves before more follow.

“A delegation of Boers arrived in Stavropol with a proposal to open a migration channel,” reports the channel, Rossiya 1 TV.

News footage showed the delegation being warmly welcomed.

The report suggests the farmers are primarily from the Free State, which the Russian journalist incorrectly refers to by its colonial name “Orange Free State”.

Farmer Adi Siebus told the Russians they were now seeing the move as a matter of life and death owing to the ongoing killings on farms from criminal attacks and the fact that South African politicians have allegedly been stirring up hatred and a “wave of violence”.

South Africa is considering changing the constitution to make expropriation of land without compensation easier.

The Boers were apparently inspired by a German farming family who moved to Russia.

They said Stavropol has a great climate for farming and each family is said to be willing to bring at least R1.4 million ($100,000) with them to lease land in Russia and kick-start their farming efforts.



Meanwhile, parliament is due to hold hearings on land reform next week.

The Constitutional Review Committee recently held a nationwide tour of public hearings on the possible review of section 25 of the Constitution to make it possible for the state to expropriate land without compensation.

This after the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces resolved to mandate the committee to review section 25 of the Constitution.

The section could be amended after parliament voted in favour of an Economic Freedom Fighters motion on land expropriation without compensation.

Russia’s humanitarian absorption of migrant refugees is being weighed after a series of murders the South African government has been accused of encouraging, and that have made farming in South Africa the most deadly occupation in the world.

South African farm killings, where victims are typically members of the country’s white, Afrikaans-speaking minority, are often extremely brutal in nature, involving prolonged periods of torture.

According to Breitbart, 1,187 farmers, 490 family members, 147 farm employees, and 24 farm visitors are known to have been murdered between 1998 and the end of 2016 — although the true figure is estimated at between 3,000 and 4,000.

Anyone see Trump and Putin's press conference today? I'm convinced at this point that Putin has a videotape of a naked Trump circle jerking and blowing a dozen underage boys that he threatens him with.

The sitting President of the United States, on a world stage, throws his own Secretary of State, Department of Justice, Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Counsel, National Intelligence Agency, and others, under the bus as not to offend a dictator, and enemy of the US.

His own party, and some of his most staunch supporters, are aghast.

Still better than WW3 and no-fly zones.

Prostitutes, peeing, and tape... Oh My! Prostitutes, peeing, and tape... Oh My!

Pretty hard to disbelieve it at this point. The dude has no problem being a bully with anyone and everyone. Including world leaders all over the planet.

Except Putin.

If the tape was released it would be all censored and ****ty looking

It would be one of those things where you could search all day and never find an uncensored version

Just like school shootings or whatever it is

Once it’s juicy enough to want to get a visual this puritanical ethic comes in and cleans up for consumption

If there’s a video of Trump doing toilet imitations (and I doubt he’d care if there were) I feel almost certain that I will never see it - it’ll be dip****s talking about it

If he does care and he’s being blackmailed then good

I don’t give af if he answers to Putin - if Russia annexed the US it probably wouldn’t affect my life

But seeing the tapes would amuse me - and that’s too much to ****ing ask for

**** neo-liberal sanctimonious anti-Russian rhetoric
