Examine Your Loyalties
Introductory Note: The entire Strom household — myself, my wife, and our two very young children — has been under the pall of viral infections this week, and I apologize for the fact that the sick leave I’ve been forced to take has impacted my tasks here on NV. 2022 has been a very strange year: Normally I am a man who counts many years between illnesses, sometimes even a decade, and I take zero medications at 66 years of age. But this year has been different — two viral infections and a reappearance of Lyme Disease (the latter probably a result of the original insult to my immune system from the first virus, a mystery virus that no medical professional could even identify). The second virus is likely the 1,941st variant of Covid that my wife was just diagnosed as having. I am recovering just fine — my immune system is strong and my underlying health is superb — but at present my throat is ragged and burning and I can barely speak (and when I do speak, I sound like someone who’s been smoking Lucky Strikes for 50 years). I shall have to grace you this week with a classic ADV broadcast, one of my favorites, which teaches principles of eternal importance. — K.A.S.

ONE OF THE WAYS that the Jews and multiracialists got South Africans to surrender their independence and freedom — and abandon their Apartheid system of racial separation — was through sports. Because so many otherwise sane South Africans were fiercely loyal to their cricket, rugby, soccer, and other teams, and because much of the world was boycotting South African teams so they could not compete on a worldwide basis, the Jews had the sports-minded South Africans in a classic carrot-and-stick situation. The Jews and their Gentile collaborators were saying in essence, “Abolish Apartheid and allow the races to mix freely in your country, and we’ll let your team play in the World Cup competition like it used to do. Keep Apartheid, and fail to vote in the new constitution, and we’ll make the boycott even stronger. You’ll be totally isolated.”
The boycott of their sports teams was a major issue in the South African press for years, and it loomed large in the minds of those White South Africans who pulled the lever and basically gave away their country and their children’s future by voting for one-party Black rule under Nelson Mandela.
Another, and even more significant, way that White South Africans were persuaded to sign away their self-determination was through their church. The dominant church among the Afrikaners, who form the majority of White South Africans, is the Dutch Reformed Church. The Afrikaners are a pious people, and much of their identity is and was wrapped up in their church, the doctrines of which are closely related to Calvinism. The Dutch Reformed ministers inspired the pioneering South Africans of 300 years ago with verses from the Old Testament, relating their struggles in a new land with the struggles of the ancient Hebrews in the deserts of the Middle East more than 20 centuries earlier. The Afrikaners were encouraged to see themselves as similar to the Jews, a “Chosen People” specially blessed by God and bringing Godly ways to a new and hostile land. The Afrikaner’s Great Trek was seen as their “Exodus” into a “Promised Land,” and the parallel with the ancient Hebrews was a major part of their national identity.
When they fought against British rule, and the British Empire’s idea of integrating Blacks into their society, they didn’t base their fight on scientific or even practical ideas about race — they based it on loyalty to Calvinist doctrine, on the way of life that had, in their view, sprung from those doctrines, and on the ungodly “Enlightenment” ideas — the worship of supposed reason, instead of God — followed by their British adversaries. So, when the Apartheid policies of racial separation and self-determination were established in South Africa, they were justified in large part by scripture. It wasn’t so much that “the races should develop separately or our precious genetic heritage will be wiped out” but rather that “the races should develop separately because that is what Jehovah commands in His holy book” and “Jehovah’s holy book brought us safely to this land and we must follow its teachings.”
But anyone who looks at the multiplicity of Christian sects can see that there are hundreds, even thousands, of different and mutually exclusive teachings supposedly based on those same scriptures. And it’s almost as easy to see how Christian teachings change over time: Some of the very same churches that inspired Europeans to fight to keep Islam out of Europe now teach us that we must welcome Islamic invaders; many of…
