My speech to the White Cross Project Conference hosted by @LexLibertasOnX in Washington DC:

"The United States can help ordinary freedom-loving South Africans, many of whom are favourably disposed to America, by adopting a differentiated approach to its dealings with South Africa. Whatever measures it takes should not be sweeping, but targeted at those defending or promoting racial laws, violent rhetoric or threats to private property."

"Loathsome as they might be, communists do have a way with words. Vladimir Lenin supposedly said that “there are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen”. This was such a week for South Africa and the world."

My latest on AGOA, the US Midterms and South Africa's local government elections (linked below).

Being 'sensible' in the face of state predation, racially exclusionary policy and threats to private property rights is no longer an option for freedom-loving South Africans.

Comment: David Ansara was one of the White Cross planters in Washington. Used to be a sensible guy from the Free Market Society. Hardly a dispassionate commentator.

I really enjoyed this conversation with @chellivia on her new book 'The Grim Old Days'.

Tomorrow at 7pm

Imagine a world where half of all children never reached adulthood, famine was a constant threat and even minor illnesses could be deadly.

For much of human history, this was normal.

Chelsea Follett, author of 'The Grim Old Days' and Research Fellow at the @CatoInstitute, joins FMF CEO @DavidAnsara to explore what life was really like before the Industrial Revolution, and what changed.
