You just have to watch your p's and q's, don't wave around any excess food/water/valuables and understand the cultures. It also helps to have a mean streak a mile wide, a gun in your waistband and to not go to insecure places alone. Kinda like General Mattis says: "Be polite, be professional but have a plan to kill everyone you meet." To be fair, where my place is located is one where, even if you had 1000 hard killers by your side, the odds of getting far enough down my road to become as much of a threat to the farm's inhabitants as the inhabitants are to the invaders is vanishingly small. Before the baddies get that far they're in lethal danger for half an hour to 45 minutes at minimum. That's a long time to be under accurate and effective fire. It's also in a part of the country where the Zulu/Shona/Xhosa/Sisulu/etc..., the Bantu-stan tribes that are the aggressive ones, don't live. They're 800 miles away. Around us are mixed blood and khoi-san speakers which don't have the militancy of the others.Malema (the one making the news in ZA lately) is always singing "kill the boer" and saying they're going to take the land (really the farms) from the whites. He knows that it's a forlorn idea. It's not that there's not a lot of people willing to use force to do the deed. It's that their ability to deliver force is limited to fairly short distances and the second the bodies start piling up they lose their desire to press forward. They also know that the current landowners are the only ones that know how to operate a farm. It was tried with a giant mango farm. In two years the farm was a barren desert and the former workers learned about starvation and economics. Zimbabwe already learned about it. They did the land grab thing from the farmers. Then there was famine and economic collapse and they begged the white farmers to come back but the farmers declined and Zim is still paying the price as an essentially collapsed state.For my part, I didn't start down this road to be safe. It was a divine calling. Took me some time to realize that but I finally did. Somewhere between August and December of 2025 I'll leave the USA forever to attend to the destiny that Elohim has guided me to.</blockquote>
