PRAISE FOR

INTO THE CANNIBAL’S POT

“The Western press promptly forgot all about South Africa after Nelson Mandela
assumed the presidency. The commissars of allowable opinion pretend atrocities
have not been taking place, and smear anyone who mentions them. Ilana Mercer
will have none of the lies and omissions of the commissars and the cowards. For
the sake of white and black South Africans alike, her compelling account
deserves a wide and sympathetic audience.”

– THOMAS E. WOODS, Ph.D., historian, author of the New York Times best-
sellers, Nullification, Meltdown, The Politically Incorrect Guide to American
History, and the critically acclaimed, The Church Confronts Modernity

“Ilana Mercer’s well-documented, encompassing study is at once heartbreaking,
infuriating, illuminating and instructive. Ethnic cleansing is underway in the
once great nation of South Africa, but Americans hear nothing of it; they are
deliberately shielded by the same parties that served to bring it about, the liberal
elites in Western governments and the press who believe that white South
Africans ‘have it coming.’ It is white guilt and the so-called right of black
reprisal extrapolated to ghastly extremes; political correctness on steroids, and
all in the name of craven progressive ideology. If the West is ever to occupy
anything resembling moral high ground – not to mention avoiding this fate itself
– it will have to come to terms with its part in South Africa’s demise, and the
misery, degradation and naked horror of those who now suffer.”
– ERIK RUSH, columnist and author of Negrophilia: From Slave Block to
Pedestal–America’s Racial Obsession. Erik was the first to break the story of
President (then Senator) Barack Obama’s ties to the militant, Afrocentric,
Chicago preacher Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

“The truth shall set you free,” a memorable Biblical phrase tells us. It does not
say the truth shall make us comfortable or happy. Into The Cannibal’s Pot fits
this mold: it is an interesting, important, well-written and well-documented book
that informs the reader but is likely to upset, perhaps even anger, some or many
of them.

– THOMAS SZASZ, the author of The Myth of Mental Illness, Psychiatry: The
Science of Lies, and many other books

“Egalitarianism leads to democracy; democracy leads to socialism; socialism
leads to economic destruction; and democratic socialism in multicultural
societies leads to death and democide. This, in shocking detail, is what Ilana
Mercer illustrates superbly in her case study of post-apartheid South Africa.
America’s political and intellectual ‘elites’ will ignore this book, because it is
politically ‘incorrect.’ We can only do so at our own peril.”

– HANS-HERMANN HOPPE, Austrian school economist, libertarian political
philosopher, emeritus professor of economics, University of Nevada,
distinguished fellow, the Ludwig von Mises Institute, author of Democracy: The
God That Failed, and The Economics and Ethics of Private Property

“If you want to witness the end result of what in America is called ‘diversity,’
you must read Into the Cannibal’s Pot. ‘Diversity’ is a euphemism for racial
retribution administered mostly by guilty white liberals in universities,
corporations, and government. It is a thoroughly collectivist notion that
condones punishing the current generation of white males for the sins of the past.
It’s most extreme form is practiced in post-Apartheid South Africa, and its
effects are meticulously documented by Ilana Mercer (who also writes
marvelously): rampant black-on-white crime, racist labor laws that have created
‘The world’s most extreme affirmative action program’; the confiscation of
private property; economic socialism; state-sponsored terrorism; and, most
sickeningly, the idolization of the corrupt and murderous Zimbabwean dictator,
Robert Mugabe. The Western media ignore all of this because of their
ideological love affair with the communistic African National Congress and,
frankly, their support for many of these same policies.”

– THOMAS J. DILORENZO, professor of economics, Loyola College,
Maryland, author of the best-selling The Real Lincoln, Lincoln Unmasked, and
most recently, Hamilton’s Curse

Publisher’s Note

This is a book about ideas and ideology. When losing an intellectual argument,
there are despicable people who point an accusing finger and shout racism. In
our dark times where mob rule and collectivist ideas resonate with so many, this
appalling strategy can be very effective.

To those who support colorblind civil discourse, rule of law, equality of
opportunity, freedom, the golden rule (do unto others as you wish them to do
unto you), liberty, freedom of expression and religion and private property
rights…regardless of skin color or ethnic background (black, red, white, yellow,
brown, green or violet), we extend the hand of friendship.

To those who support all forms of thuggery—including totalitarianism,
