Greeting Cuan - at the back of the book there is list of material that you recommend to read. One tag has got my attention is the following "Uncovering the Mysteries of Your Hidden Inheritance". I did a search and noticed that is it only available via mail from the US. Is there not a local distributar that I may obtain a copy from, in English?
I'm on page 39 of your book and all I can say so far is - engrossing, what a story.

Nigel Soden, thank you for your comments. Much appreciated. I too, have researched the past machinations of my own people, and found much to criticize, and much to commend.

Nigel Soden, thank you for your comments. Much appreciated. I too, have researched the past machinations of my own people, and found much to criticize, and much to commend. I do not buy the populist line, and have little time for the liberalist lies that have distorted our history. A classis example would be the "history of slavery" as espoused by Hollywood: Even a cursory search for facts on who owned most of the slave ships, and who owned the most slaves per percentage of the population, will reveal that there is an agenda by those who today, by their own admission control 95% of what we see, read & hear, to deflect the "blame" for slavery onto another group. An abridged quote from BULALA: One of the most famous modern books/movies denouncing
the history of the slave trade was Amistad. The story centers
around one poor African slave who eventually won his freedom.
However, what the movie does not mention, is the fact that after
he won his freedom—he returned to Africa to become a slave
trader himself!—abusing and selling his own people into slavery!
San-Bushmen are today enslaved by the Owambo and Herero.

History is always re-written by the victors to exemplify there righeousnes for the deeds committed. There are but view historical novels that pull the thin veneer of lies to expose the truth. Not been a birthed in South African yet having lived here since the age of 11 I conceder this to be my home. Yet I live in fear that I may see the repeat performance that was played out in the fields of what was known as the Belgium Congo. The script is there and the speeches differ not from the politicians to those of by gone days. My hope that this is not one of those books, but one that cuts through the BS. Looking forward to reading it.

To Mr James Miller, if you are sincere in finding out the truth, it is to your own enlightenment that you research these comments no matter what pain it may cause you. I know, I researched my own 'Christian" background only to find that it is littered with violence, Yet on this journey I also discovered that this was perpertrated in the NAME of Christianity. A lie is always peppered with 99% truth and 1% lie and it is this 1% lie that leavens the whole bread.

Hello again, James Miller.

Hello again, James Miller. Once again, you are being presumptuous, and are now even bordering on libelous, in your efforts to attribute ulterior motives, and are continuing in your attempts to paste on labels, in a singularly cavalier fashion. Nowhere are the Protocols quoted in my work. It is simple historical fact that Princess Catherine Radziwill did a lecture tour on these in the USA in the 1920's, and thereby "gained infamy" and it is again simple historical fact that she had a relationship with, and wrote a book on Cecil Rhodes.

What I do say in the Preface to Bulala is: "The historian or journalist who deals with issues which may modernly be perceived to be contentious has the choice of stating facts as he found them (sometimes at the risk of offending certain individuals, institutions, or indeed entire classes of people or nations)—or of caving in and taking the “safe" (though inaccurate) “politically correct” route to avoid that risk. In Bulala, the author has placed the facts on the table, in most cases without personal comment, and has thus left it to the reader to draw his or her own moral conclusions.

Questionable or even barbaric acts by certain individuals, groups of people, or nations have been recounted to give a truthful picture of history (not a rose-colored, “feel-good” reconstruction).

The re-telling of such acts herein (Bulala) should not be construed as the author’s attempt to denigrate any
particular culture or people. Incidents as recorded in this sometimes traumatic historical narrative of South Africa are included purely as observations of historical fact, and can often be seen to be the actions of isolated individuals committing personal
acts of their own accord and not acting in concert with any official (or unofficial) policy.

These individuals’ clearly deplorable actions were thus not necessarily representative of the policies of their governments, or indeed of any institutions they purported to represent—and certainly, such actions were not representative of their people as a whole, nor their nation.

The mention of such actions, incidents, and facts in this narrative should thus be seen as the author’s attempt to provide real insight into the actual causes behind such historical events.

All peoples have representatives who bring disgrace and shame to their very nation or people as a whole; however, there are also others, among all peoples, who behave with laudable honor and integrity, worthy of our respect. It behooves us, then, as honest, God-fearing, law-abiding people, rather than trying to erase the
less-admirable aspects of our individual histories, to study our history “as it was.”

Only by studying and accepting the reality of the past are we able to recognize any questionable actions of our ancestors—and then use that knowledge to rise above their mistakes, and thus not follow in their sometimes faulty footsteps."

Enough said, on that subject. As regards American English and the use of italics; my editor was American, and thus ultimately responsible for both.

Regards, and thanks for your interest.

Mr Elgin, I think you are missing my point, which perhaps I did not make clear enough.

Mr Elgin, I think you are missing my point, which perhaps I did not make clear enough.
I have now finished reading the book, but found little to alter my viewpoint.
I do not contest the veracity of your claims, as I am not sufficiently informed about them. I stated that your writings are selective, and your language loaded. While what you say about Boers, Rooinekke and Darkies is based deservedly on what they did AS Boers, Rooinekke and Darkies, while you appear to assume that the Jews did their thing AS Jews. There were few enough of them not to be considered a force, and most probably acted as individuals. It was therefore not necessary to label them according to their religion or background. Whether you intended it or not, the tone of your writing suggests that you subscribe to the world Jewish conspiracy theory, and the fact that you referred indirectly to the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" without condemning it for the malicious forgery it is, casts serious doubt on your impartiality as a historian.
What I did find interesting, however, is that you are not condemnatory about Israel, presently a vogue position among antisemites. While I consider Israel's support of the South African Nationalist regime admirable, they did, to their shame, do an about-face in later years when it became clear that the Nats were on their way out. It is thus understandable that today the Blacks are anti-Israel.

To change the subject completely, I am curious about your language use in the book. It is written largely written with American spelling. Was the book intended for the US market, or is Microsoft's autocorrect function responsible ? My second query is your liberal use of italics, often in places which appear to be inappropriate. Please explain.

Regards
James

James Miller, thank you for your comment on "Bulala" and you are of course, entitled to your opinion. However, I would suggest you finish reading the book, before commenting much further on the narrative. For starters, I am a Semite myself, and have been equally scathing about my cousins the English, and my brothers in Afrikaner-Boers, as well as the Bantu, where such criticism is due. I have many good, Jewish friends, who have the moral courage to agree that what was written, is true. Behind virtually every subversion in this country for over a century, has been international "bankster" Jews, or Marxist Jews. That is a fact. More than half the co-accused "Whites" in the Mandela terrorism trial, were Jews. Harry Oppenheimer bragged in 1994 of being "the quiet engine that drove the (Marxist) ANC." The gold & diamond mines, stolen from the Boers during the Anglo-Boer War (instigated by Jewish newspaper owners) now belong to... ask yourself. The few comments in question in this regard in "Bulala" are largely not mine, but are excerpts from historical documents, as the appendices at the end of the book, reveal. Re: my "slip showing"... I stand by what was written, as verifiable historical fact. It would appear that you are actually the one who has "a dog in this fight." Shalom.

I am in the process of reading Bulala, and so far I find it very readable, and a refreshing change from all the usual PC drivel that is dished up.

I am in the process of reading Bulala, and so far I find it very readable, and a refreshing change from all the usual PC drivel that is dished up. However, unfortunately it appears that you have an axe to grind. Your snide comments about Jews are uncalled for, and irrelevant in the context. You seem to miss no opportunity to have a dig at them, sometimes using loaded language, bringing into question your stature as a good historian who should be independent at all times. Reveal the truth by all means, but when you begin to appear selective ... well, I'm afraid your slip is showing.

Hallo Cuan. Thx for a fantastic website- and yea...that book of yours. I represent a white newspaper on the web: http://www.whitenationnetwork.com/paper/- and your book- with your permission- will be advertised there next week. Please feel free to send us some interesting news you want to share. millions of people across the world are taken for a ride about the Boers in South-Africa, their struggle, the genocide and farm murders because the Zionists and ANC communists made sure the whittes in South-Africa were demonized across the globe. A special thanx again for your work.
