“…The miseducation of a targeted Population plays an essential component in Maintaining Dominance…”
Florida’s Governor, Ron DeSantis,
He MAY “NOT BE TRUMP LIKE;” but he is certainly A Hendrick Verwoerd
“There are uncomfortable parallels “
While it has been prompted that Florida’s Governor Ron Desantis is “No Donald Trump,” he is certainly a Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd, one of the chief architects of the South African Apartheid State.
Hendrik Verwoerd was a socially conservative Christian nationalist ideological leader (who embodied fundamental dogmatic Christian Principles) who rose to power and played a vital role in the far-right National Party coming of power in 1948, serving as a political strategist, propagandist, and Minister of Native Affairs, fathering the Bantu Education Act.
Verwoerd’s Bantu Education Act ensured that “The Bantu (black South Africans) had only the barest minimum of education,” entrenching the role of blacks in the apartheid economy as a cheap source of unskilled labor and then becoming party leader from 1958 to 1961.
Verwoerd proclaimed the founding of the Republic of South Africa and remained its prime minister until his assassination in 1966.
COMING TO AMERICA
Under Governor Ron DeSantis, the future of Florida has become South Africa’s past in which a fundamental dogmatic socially conservative Christian nationalist ideological leader (who has not necessarily embodied Christian Principles) rose to power, serving as a political strategist and propagandist on his way to becoming party leader. Florida (DeSantisburg) has become an Apartheid State.
A closer look more than demonstrated Governor Desantis has dusted off and adopted the old Playbook of South African and Afrikaner nationalists, and he plans to make the entire United States America resemble Florida (Desantisburg; and he is well ahead of the game and on his way.
“There are uncomfortable parallels between the United States in 2020 and South Africa in the dying days of white rule.”

How the apartheid regime BANNED AND burnt books in their tens of thousands
Verwoerd, compared television with atomic bombs and poison gas, claiming that: “they are modern things, but that does not mean they are desirable. The government has to watch for any dangers to the people, both spiritual and physical.”
According to Archie Dick, University of Pretoria then Head of Department and Professor of Information Science, University of Pretoria, in an article called, “How the apartheid regime burnt books – in their tens of thousands,” published October 25, 2018:
“State-sanctioned book burnings were common as authoritarianism accompanied a growing Afrikanerisation of South African society as the dominant, ruling Afrikaner elite started to impose its culture on all spheres of society. Members of the elite did this first by unifying Afrikaner cultural and church organisations.
This took the form of a declaration on behalf of “Volksorganisasies” (Afrikaner people’s organisations) that was signed in 1941 and pledged support for conservative Christian national ideology.”
Most importantly, Professor Dick reported:
“On the advice of the State Librarian one fine day in the 1970s, a truck transported thousands of books and magazines from Pretoria’s Central Police Station to a dark hall at the Iscor state steel company, just outside the South African capital.
A large mechanical shovel scooped up and dropped them into a 20 metre high oven, causing it to spew flames and smoke. This was another truckload of material that had been banned for political reasons and was routinely burned in furnaces across South Africa from the 1950s to the 1970s.”
Dr. Albert Hertzog, Minister for Posts and Telegraphs from 1958-1968 at the time, argued that “the effect of wrong pictures on children, the less developed and other races can be destructive.
” Declaring that TV would come to South Africa “over [his] dead body,” Hertzog denounced it as “only a miniature bioscope which is being carried into the house and over which parents have no control.” He also argued that “South Africa would have to import films showing race mixing, and advertising would make Africans dissatisfied with their lot.”
“There are uncomfortable parallels between the United States in 2020 and South Africa in the dying days of white rule.”
DeSANTISBURG:
FLORIDA UNDER APARTHEID
While Florida Governor Desantis has to accuse publishers and magazines by stating:
“It seems that some publishers attempted to slap a coat of paint on an old house built on the foundation of Common Core and indoctrinating concepts like race essentialism, especially, bizarrely, for elementary school students,” said Governor Ron DeSantis.
Similarly, under Governor Ron DeSantis Apartheid governance, Florida’s Education Department, earlier in 2023, accused publishers of trying to “indoctrinate” the state’s students through proposed math textbooks, alleging that they were sneaking in material forbidden by the state about social-emotional learning, Common Core standards, or “critical race theory.”
Under Governor Ron DeSantis, School boards are restricted from using state money to purchase these books;
“…I’m grateful that Commissioner Corcoran and his team at the Department have conducted such a thorough vetting of these textbooks to ensure they comply with the law.”
Author historian (@kennethCdavis) Kenneth C. Davis has pointed out to XM 127 JohnFulglesang:
“They are trying to destroy Ideas they do not like… this is an official government sanction to ideas they don’t like…it is more dangerous now than ever in our history…The real weopnization by politicians and these small groups of people are able to accomplish this through social media…Now, what happens in California is instantly communicated in Iowa…”

The rise of authoritarianism
Like DeSantis, Verwoerd was an authoritarian, socially conservative leader and an Afrikaner nationalist. He was a member of the Afrikaner Broederbond (Afrikaans: Brotherhood), a secret white and Calvinist organization dedicated to advancing the Afrikaner “volk” interests, and protested against South Africa’s declaration of war on Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany during World War II.
Florida’s DeSantis policies Derived straight from the South African Apartheid Playbook
In Apartheid South Africa, thousands of books, newspapers, and other publications were banned in South Africa from 1950 to 1990. The power to ban publications lay with the interior minister under the Publications and Entertainments Act of 1963.
In DeSantisburg, under Ron DeSantis’s rule, the power to ban is centered on the Governor. What agency or body within the State government he chooses to support his power to ban, including the legislature where he has an instructed supermajority through which he can delegate his powers?
In Apartheid South Africa and now in Florida, under these acts, a publication could be banned if it was found to be “undesirable” for any of many reasons, including obscenity, moral harmfulness, blasphemy, causing harm to relations between sections of the population, or being prejudicial to the safety, general welfare, peace, or order of the state.
“There are uncomfortable parallels between the United States in 2020 and South Africa in the dying days of white rule.”
FLORIDA’S BANTU EDUCATION ACT AND A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
The miseducation of a targeted population plays an essential component in maintaining dominance. Moreover, despite the fact “we have overcome” the draconian colonialism legacy of “Jim Crow” and Apartheid in both the United States and South Africa, we continue to observe the residual effects of these practices on children struggling academically.
REMEMBRANCE
We in America have avoided and, in fact, voided certain basic historical uncomfortable occurrences in our country, for example, lynching or the secret sustain attacks and expulsion of Black and Colured pharmacies under Governor DeSantis, or his forced removal of physicians and dentists, and nurse practitioners wrongly labeled as drug dealers in white coats.
These major social occurrences are directed at people of color, mostly blacks (Italians, Jews, Asians), vaguely reported by major media, or for that matter, discussed in most school districts.
Nor have very few, if any, Institutional curriculae ever engaged in the discussion of the systematic lynching of Black American soldiers in the service of their country in uniform in the time of War and furthermore has gone virtually unreported by our Department of Defense and a full account as to what circumstance their love one’s dishonorably perished has never been given to these families.
THE LYNCHING OF ACTIVE DUTY BLACK AMERICA SOLDIERS DURING WWII THE HIDDEN HISTORY (NPR)
One of the victims’ names, Elijah, was from North Florida. Still, because Governor Ron DeSantis chose to void the Congress House Seat of Alfred Lawson (who this author has personally known for 50-plus years), we may never know what happened to him in England.
Perhaps Lloyd Austin, who himself is from the region of Northern Florida, Southern Georgia, can release the military records behind the circumstances of these African American Solider. What macro-aggression upon them by our government led to their demise during the times of World War (this would include too Henery Ossian Flipper and Dave Fagan of Tampa, Florida)?
GET WOKE
AND
STAY WOKE!!!
THE BANTU EDUCATION ACT OF DeSANTISBURG (FLORIDA)
The Bantu Education Act ensured that black South Africans had only the barest minimum of education, thus entrenching the role of blacks in the apartheid economy as a cheap source of unskilled labor. In June 1954, Verwoerd, in a speech, stated:
“The Bantu must be guided to serve his own community in all respects. There is no place for him in the European community above the level of certain forms of labor. Within his own community, however, all doors are open.”
“We’re going to ensure that Florida has the highest-quality instructional materials aligned to our nationally-recognized standards,” said Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran. “Florida has become a national leader in education under the vision and leadership of Governor DeSantis.
Regarding education, other states continue to follow Florida’s lead as we continue to reinforce parents’ rights by focusing on providing their children with a world-class education without the fear of indoctrination or exposure to dangerous and divisive concepts in our classrooms.”

“IS AMERICA’S FUTURE SOUTH AFRICA’S PASS”
AND REMINDING US
“There are uncomfortable parallels between the United States in 2020 and South Africa in the dying days of white rule.”
Mr. Rosenberg writes:
“As a South African immigrant to the United States and a longtime observer of South African politics, I am attuned to the ways in which appeals for racial justice and demands for change can unleash powerful social and political forces…
The explosion of protest against racial injustice and police brutality across the United States that followed the killing of George Floyd, and the over-militarized police response to it, mimic the caught-on-tape, globally inspiring demonstrations in 1970s and 1980s South Africa. Like many social movements before and since, they have in common a complex fusion of a majority of nonviolent protesters with violent radicals, outside agitators, and opportunistic looters.
“They also share the morally unambiguous objective of ending systemic racism, and they were both propelled by a cascade of political and economic events that pushed this objective from socially marginal to the center of debate. In the United States, those events include Trump’s divisive presidency and the COVID-19 crisis, which disproportionately affected black American communities.
In South Africa, they included the 1976 Soweto uprising, a global commodities slump that shook the South African economy, and the end of the Cold War.
All this speaks to another, broader historical alignment between the United States and South Africa: the collapse of white rule. To be sure, the end of apartheid in South Africa was preceded by decades (if not centuries) of institutionalized white minority rule. In contrast, in the United States, white Christians have only recently become a minority. But the threat of losing power to people of color is a striking common thread.
In the United States, the election of the first black president in 2008 and declining faith in an increasingly unequal and unstable American economy brought the country’s recent demographic shift into sharp relief.
As has been well catalogued, both issues were ripe fruit for of course, exploiting ostensibly democratic institutions to preserve minority rule could have been a page taken from the South African National Party’s playbook. The latter used blunt legislative instruments to effectively disenfranchise black voters by law. Trump and the Republicans have an Electoral College and U.S. Senate that overrepresent predominantly white rural states, gerrymandered election districts that dilute urban and minority votes, and a wide range of other measures to suppress minority voting.
Other similarities include rallying conservative church networks, promoting ethnonationalist narratives and iconography (Manifest Destiny promising the land to white people here, the armed Afrikaaner frontiersman there), co-opting financial elites and the white middle class with artificially high returns on capital, and fomenting racial discord in highly visible institutions like sports.
This mountain of parallels is why the past four-odd years of Trumpist politics in the United States have felt like two decades of South African politics and why the events of recent weeks look like the dying phase of apartheid sped up at a dizzying pace.”
