Verwoerd, Doctor Hendrik…7th Prime Minister of South Africa. He is the person behind the conception and implementation of apartheid, a system of racial segregation dividing ethnic groups in South Africa. Historical: Justice Millen, in a judgment delivered in the Transvaal (a Province of South Africa) Supreme Court on July 13, 1943, pronounced that He (Verwoerd) did support Nazi propaganda, he did make his newspaper a tool of the Nazis in South Africa, and he knew it.” This case arose out of an action, brought by Dr. Verwoerd (as editor of the Transvaaler—an Afrikaans newspaper) against the Johannesburg Star (an English newspaper), for publishing an article, entitled “Speaking Up for Hitler”, in which the Transvaaler was accused of falsifying news in support of Nazi propaganda and generally acting like a tool of the enemy. Dr. Verwoerd lost the case. In a lengthy judgment, extending to more than 25,000 words, the judge found that Dr. Verwoerd had in fact furthered Nazi propaganda. The defendants had proved, said the judge, that Dr. Verwoerd “caused to be published a large body of matter which was calculated to make the Germans look upon the Transvaaler as a most useful adjunct to this propaganda service.” On another point, the judge said: “This is a falsification of current news which was approved by the plaintiff. It was calculated to cause alarm and despondency, and it is not open to doubt that it was of great service to the enemy in the way of supporting his propaganda for the damaging of the war effort of the Union of South Africa.” Like so many racialists, Dr. Verwoerd had early training in anti-Semitism. In the mid-1930’s, when he was Professor of Applied Psychology at Stellenbosch University (Afrikaner-dom’s oldest seat of learning), he accompanied five fellow professors on a deputation to the South African Government to protest against the admission into South Africa of Jewish refugees from Hitler’s Germany. Verwoerd studied Applied Psychology in Germany. His use of the news media as a propaganda tool is done by all Socialist groups including those in the USA, Europe, Austral-Asia, Africa, Central and South America & Canada, etc.
