Being Right, Wrongly: How the New York Times Turns Truth Into a Weapon
The media’s favorite trick isn’t lying, it’s twisting the truth just enough to serve the globalist script. South Africa’s land stats are yet another battleground in the war for your mind.
There’s a tactic in modern media far more dangerous than lying. It’s telling the truth falsely—presenting facts so selectively and manipulatively that they no longer illuminate, but mislead. We’ve exposed this tactic before, and it’s time to do it again.
This time, the stage is South Africa. The topic: land ownership. The headline statistic repeated ad nauseam by mainstream outlets like the New York Times:
“White South Africans own 72% of the country’s farmland.”
It sounds damning. It sounds like lingering apartheid. It sounds like injustice. And that’s exactly the point.
But this statistic, while technically accurate, is a classic example of truth stripped of context and repackaged to deceive. It’s the media’s favorite sleight of hand weaponizing facts to tell a lie. This is Hatecraft, not journalism.
The Real Story Behind the 72%
Let’s break it down.
The 72% figure refers only to land designated as agricultural and only when owned by individuals. It excludes:
Urban and residential land
Communal or tribal land
State-owned land (a massive portion of South Africa)
Land held in trusts, companies, or organizations
Unregistered or disputed land
So what’s the full picture?
72% of agricultural land held by individuals = white-owned
29% of all privately owned land = white-owned
~23% of South Africa’s total land surface = white-owned
See the shift?
What begins as an emotional trigger (“whites own everything!”) dissolves under scrutiny. But most people never see the fine print. And the media knows it.
Why It’s Propaganda—Not Reporting
This isn’t sloppy journalism. It’s deliberate narrative crafting:
A cherry-picked figure is presented without context.
Emotional assumptions are allowed (even encouraged).
A villain is painted, and a policy agenda is justified.
The media manufactures a racialized moral outrage to advance ideological goals:
Fueling resentment and unrest
Justifying radical land redistribution
Reinforcing a global "white oppressor" narrative
This tactic works because numbers seem objective, and most readers don’t question the definitions. But this isn’t truth—it’s strategic deception.
This is being right, wrongly.
The Globalist Machinery Behind the Headlines
This distortion serves a much deeper purpose. It’s not about fairness or historical redress, it’s about control.
Land ownership is one of the final bulwarks of individual liberty. And that’s exactly what the globalist machine wants to dismantle.
The underlying ideology at play is globalism, which strategically employs both communist and fascist tactics to:
Divide society into permanent victim-oppressor groups
Stir racial and economic resentment
Justify state intervention and collective ownership
This is how they normalize theft and sell it as justice.
This Isn’t About South Africa Alone
If the world accepts that it’s moral to seize land from white South African farmers based on deceptive stats, then no one’s property is safe. Not in the U.S. Not anywhere.
Today it’s South Africa. Tomorrow it’s America’s middle class.
This is the pilot program for global land seizure. The same playbook is being used everywhere: redefine morality, reframe theft as equity, and erase private ownership.
This is why we must sound the alarm.
This Is a War for Souls, Not Just Soil
From Babel to the Bolsheviks, collectivism has always been the system of choice for tyrants and the demonic ideologies behind them. It promises justice but delivers bondage.
Christian civilization based on private property, the dignity of work, and individual liberty is a threat to global tyranny. That’s why it must be dismantled.
And propaganda like this is the spearhead.
We Know What You’re Doing
Outlets like the New York Times aren’t simply reporting. They’re indoctrinating. They're using selective stats as ideological weapons. This is Hatecraft- media manipulation designed to stir hate, divide society, and usher in global collectivism.
Whoever controls the land, controls the people. Whoever controls the narrative, controls the land.
It’s time we start telling the whole truth again.
Soli Deo Gloria
They say “whites own 72% of South Africa’s land.”
What they don’t say?
That figure excludes state, communal, & urban land.
👉 Whites own only ~23% of SA’s total land.
📉 Being right wrongly is propaganda.
