Public Executions.
Slowly.

[Dries Van Langenhove @DVanLangenhove]

These two paragraphs of my verdict are crucial for everyone to read and understand.

"Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” 1⃣

"For Van Langenhove to have committed a crime, it is not necessary for him to have incited concrete acts of hate or violence. It suffices that others are incited to take on a general attitude of intolerance or disapproval regarding a group protected under the criteria of the Anti-Racism Law." 2⃣

This means you can go to jail for "inciting hatred" even if your statements were 100% factual (see 1⃣) and even if you did NOT incite concrete acts of hate (see 2⃣).

The benchmark of "inciting hatred" , a crime punishable by prison, is thus "saying something that has the potential of inciting someone to have a general attitude of disapproval regarding a protected group". This means literally any criticism of mass migration is now a punishable offence. If you cite a statistic, and someone could potentially think less of a protected group (like migrants) because of it, you can be jailed.

The craziest part is that there is no defence possible against this. I brought the scientific studies that I cited to court, but the judge didn't care 1⃣. I also proved that the hundreds of students present at the lecture included students of all different political affiliations, and everyone was able to voice their opinion or ask questions. The lecture went very calmly, so obviously nobody was incited to hatred. But this too did not matter 2⃣, because if the judge says he believes there is the possibility that someone COULD be incited to "a general attitude of disapproval", this is enough for the judge to send me to jail, even without any evidence.

I'm telling you this to warn you that by the time these hate speech laws have come into place, it's already too late. You will NEVER be able to beat these laws in court. You have to stop them before they are implemented. Let my fate be your warning.

A very sad announcement.

I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration.

In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least.

Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration.

In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.

Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”

That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.

Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration."

You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible.

Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it.

The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration.

Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail.

Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win.

If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM.

If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

Adrian Gore is complaining that young people are leaving while they are healthy while they have to pay him R6k a month to never visit a doctor.
He also complains that older people are a burden to his business because they are on chronic medication.

All this while his business made R12 billion in profit last year and he went home with R32 mil in salary!
He can FRO!!

A hard lesson from administering my late mother's estate: read the fine print on life rights before your parents sign one.

For those unfamiliar: a life right is a popular retirement-village model in South Africa. You don't buy the property. You pay a large lump sum (often R2m+) for the right to occupy a unit for the rest of your life. The operator retains ownership and the title.

When the holder dies, here is what nobody really explains up front.

1. The operator takes a fixed chunk regardless of how long you lived there. Typical contracts deduct around 40 percent of a notional "Listing Consideration" as the operator's effective fee, amortised over five years. If your loved one lives in the unit for two years, three years, or even just under five, that 40 percent disappears anyway. My mother paid R2 million in 2021. Five years later, the estate stands to receive less than half of it back.

2. The estate keeps paying levies after death. Indefinitely. The contract terminates automatically when the holder dies. But you, as the estate, remain liable for the full monthly levy, rates, and consumption charges until the operator finds a new buyer. There is no deadline. No reasonable-time obligation written in. We are six weeks past hand-over and the invoices keep arriving.

3. The estate cannot use, let, or even allow family to enter the unit. The right to occupy was "personal in nature." It died with the holder. The estate cannot put a tenant in, cannot let it on Airbnb, cannot even allow family to stay there without the operator's written consent. Every mitigation lever sits with the operator at their sole discretion.

4. The operator has zero incentive to re-sell quickly. They hold your capital interest-free until a buyer is found. They earn the levy every month you wait. They earn a remarketing fee on re-sale. The longer they take, the better for them. The worse for you.

5. The contract usually contains a CPA exemption-by-design. Most of these schemes acknowledge the Consumer Protection Act on paper, then carve themselves into clauses that allow exactly the kind of one-sided continuation of obligations the CPA was meant to police. Sections 48 and 52 of the CPA, and the Constitutional Court line on fairness in contract (Barkhuizen, Beadica), give real grounds to push back. But you have to know to push.

If you or a family member is considering a life right, please:

- Read the full agreement including every annexure, not just the marketing brochure.
- Model the worst case: holder dies within 3 to 5 years of taking occupation.
- Calculate the estate's expected net return, including post-death levy bleed if re-sale takes 6 to 12 months.
- Get independent legal advice before signing. Not advice from the village's referred attorneys.
- Ask explicitly: what is the operator's contractual obligation to re-sell within a reasonable time? If the answer is "none," walk away.

There are genuinely good retirement villages and well-structured life rights out there. But the structural risk to the estate is rarely disclosed up front.

If you've been through this and want to compare notes, please reach out.

Most South Africans only think about PAYE.

But government takes far more than that.

Every fuel stop, grocery bill, electricity payment, and purchase includes taxes hidden in the price.

VAT. Fuel levies. Excise duties. Carbon taxes.

Tax Freedom Day reflects the full cost of government.

Mohamed Bakkali, the logistical brain behind the Paris and Bataclan attacks that killed 129 and wounded hundreds more, is allowed penitentiary leave by the Brussels court.

If Bakkali continues his “calm and good behaviour” according to the court, he could soon be freed indefinitely.

This is insane.

The same South African government agency that wants you to report your crypto holdings to them just leaked the email addresses of everyone who submitted their objections to this policy - one primary objection being the personal danger of leaking the information that you are a crypto holder.

Whatever the outcome of the trial in the murder of Henry Nowak - whether the Sikh man is found guilty or not (the trial is still ongoing) - the Police Officer(s) who did not seek immediate medical attention for the stabbed HENRY NOWAK need to be named, prosecuted and put on trial for Manslaughter. “Can’t breath” - Police body cam footage shown in court revealed the moment officers arrested 18-year-old Henry Nowak shortly before his death.

Southampton Crown Court heard officers found Mr Nowak leaning against a house wall in Belmont Road, supported by the defendant’s father.

The defendant's father said: “He keeps dropping down, so I am just trying to keep him up.”

Mr Nowak can be heard saying “can’t breathe.”

Police put handcuffs on Mr Nowak, who was lying on his side, telling officers he had been stabbed and that he could not breathe.

The officer told Mr Nowak that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault.

Mr Nowak repeated that he had been stabbed.

A male voice said: “I don’t think you have, mate.”

The video cuts out when CPR starts, and in its place, a transcript was read by Neil King, prosecuting, and the officer in the case.

One officer said: "He is not unconscious, mate, he isn't breathing."

Mr Nowak was pronounced dead at 12.37am despite the efforts of police, paramedics and a doctor who was flown to the scene by helicopter.

The video ended when CPR began, with a transcript read to the court instead. Mr Nowak was later pronounced dead at 12:37am despite efforts from police, paramedics and an airlifted doctor.

Vickrum Singh Digwa, 23, of St Denys Road, Southampton denies the charge of murder.

They celebrate their "non-racialism" while presiding over the most extensive network of race laws in history.

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

Reminder: modern art was a CIA psy-op.

Former CIA officials came clean on this during the '90s, confirming that the agency used abstract art by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and others to promote American culture during the Cold War.

The intent was to portray America as a bastion of intellectual and creative freedom. This was to rebut Soviet claims that the U.S. was "culturally barren" and contrast the cultural confinement of the Soviet empire, where artists had been restricted to painting in Soviet realism since the 1930s.

Abstract Expressionism was seen as the most free and extreme form of artistic expression; the antithesis of Soviet rigidity. Modern art therefore became a weapon in the cultural war against communism.

Beginning in the 1950s, the CIA secretly funded a group called the Congress for Cultural Freedom, through which it funnelled money to international art shows, literary magazines and operated dozens of offices around the globe — all with the explicit goal of promoting American Abstract Expressionism.

These efforts, coined operation "long leash", were meant to demonstrate to disaffected Soviets and European intellectuals that American painters were free to invent, and offend; unlike under tyranny, where "artists are made the slaves and tools of the state," as Eisenhower once said.

Paradoxically, at the time the works of Pollock and de Kooning were not even broadly popular with the American public, and earlier, more open attempts to promote new American art by the State Department had been widely mocked. Even President Truman famously said, 'If that's art, I'm a Hottentot'', when visiting an exhibit purchased by the DOS.

Because of this, and because it would have been impossible to attain support for such a project through Congress, the CIA's covert operation was necessary to push Abstract Expressionism in secret.

My grandparents got married in this church. My grandfather was baptised there, all the way through to my great-great grandfather (1860).

Here, Adriaan Basson is desecrating it by using it for propaganda, and lulling people to sleep about the ANC’s black nationalist agenda. Adriaan Basson and Max du Preez are two of the main characters pushing for the deconstruction of Afrikaner identity into something completely unable to defend itself. Our newly built institutions (evil, dirty, “nationalist projects”), to push back against the constant and countless transgressions by the state, are constantly slandered by them in the media.

We should be fine with our people being tortured to death on farms — South Africa has high crime 🤷🏻 — or with stadiums filled with savages chanting about our death: prrrr pah, prrrr pah. This is the price they expect us to pay, and to stay hush-hush about. The offering expected of us at the altar of our new “non-racialism” gods. On a Sunday in Franschhoek Church, Adriaan Basson will give you this lecture.

Don’t fall for the shtick. Don’t be like Adriaan. Never be the coward. Adriaan believes that, to survive, we need to crawl. This is what “Kill the Boer” is all about — the day we stop that fight, we’ve died.

Afrikaners are alive, bruised, but wakker.
