Video: Decapitation: How the Boers dealt with violent crowds of Blacks
A young Boer I knew, Gilbert, told me of the time in the early 1990s when he served in the South African Army and was stationed in the townships. He described the tactics the Boers used to smash violent black crowds with a minimum loss of life.


In all my years of talking to Americans, I had never heard the term Hopium until now. I thought a guy on a mailing list had coined it. But I’m told its been around for most of Trump’s presidency.

Anyhow, I had genuinely never heard the term before. I like it.
