He writes on his platform things like the “niggroid [sic]and Afrikaner jew” rule South Africa at the expense of the “white Aryan race”. Perhaps most alarming, however, is the fact that he is seemingly based in South Africa.
The information available on his blog, called De Hewitt House of Publications and Radio, suggests that he has been active since November 2016.
Styling himself as an author, publisher, and radio host, he has devoted numerous posts, memes, interviews, and articles to expressing unbridled and unabashed hatred of what he perceives to be a global takeover carried out by world Jewry, and the threat it poses to the white population.
In one particular post, he writes, “Jews are very sick creatures! […] White Aryan Folk can finally understand why I have been a so-called hateful anti-semite all of these years. Can you now see why I’m an anti-semite? Jews have unofficially DECLARED WAR ON OUR WHITE ARYAN RACE! […]. So, what are we going to do about this jew problem?”
He is equally antagonistic towards the Holocaust, a subject which he treats with sick humour and disturbing imagery. A meme posted on his website shows Adolf Hitler gazing at a rally attended by thousands featuring the text, “I have a dream”.
Beneath the image, de Hewitt posts, “I TOO HAVE A DREAM … It is to live in an exclusively all White, Boer Nation, where my folk and I can live peacefully as healthful Aryans without parasite jews jewing, and without their niggroid and mixed-race proxy armies attacking my Folk and destroying our White Civilizations.
“As a White man, I long for a Nation without jew supremacism and terrorism, International Zionism, Communism, Capitalism, and all other degenerate, anti-White jewish philosophy.”
On 28 September, a podcaster by the name of Mike Vril Sledge uploaded an interview he conducted with De Hewitt to his blog page, the Laughwaffe Strike. According to Sledge’s description, they discussed “Aryan cooking, the impeachment of orange man, trump tel aviv tower properties, political wrestling, oy vey global domination, false fags, and the fall of jewmerica.”
The discussion that unfolds is nauseating. Both men joke freely about launching a pizza shop called “Auschwitz Pizza”, a restaurant which they boast alludes to their now banned “white nationalist cooking show” called “Fire up the ovens”, the logo for which they say was the Auschwitz crematorium oven.
“They looked like they could make a mean brick oven pizza,” quips Sledge. “Real brick oven pizza with extra f****ng pork and Italian sausage. So much pork that the grease from the pork is dripping off the crust and causing the flames to rush up. I’m salivating just thinking about it.” With equal zest, De Hewitt says that he loves “talking about cooking, Jews, and whatever else is in the news!”
It is during this interview that De Hewitt confirms that he is currently located in “one of the old Boer republics”, and other information he provides seems to confirm that he is based somewhere in South Africa. “My South African internet really does SUCK!” he writes in an online comment, and elsewhere writes about going “into different towns around South Africa” where he finds “niggroids everywhere”.
Beyond his frequent use of typical anti-Jewish rhetoric and imagery, De Hewitt makes it clear that the elimination of Jews is the only solution to the “problem”. In one of his posts, he maintains that Aryans like him should “identify them, ridicule them, humiliate them, deem them irrelevant, and furthermore remove them from our lives, societies, and lands by any and all necessary means!”
Little can be gleaned about the man’s origins, although his accent suggests that he is American. David Saks, associate director of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD), told the SA Jewish Report that De Hewitt is apparently a pseudonym, and the man frequently uses fake accounts to cover his tracks. Saks also confirmed that he is originally from the United States, and married to a South African woman.
Although not much is known about him, his material can clearly be classified as hate speech. According to advocate Mark Oppenheimer, De Hewitt’s rhetoric is a violation of Section 16 of the Constitution, and cannot be defended under the principles of free speech.
“His material clearly advocates hatred towards Jews and violence against them,” says Oppenheimer. “He calls on people to do something about Jews. His Hitler image, invocations of Auschwitz ovens, and other similar material is an implicit call for action. This is not a free-speech protected case”
Oppenheimer says that the criteria set out in section 10 of the Equality Act which governs cases like this, is clearly satisfied. According to the section, the violation must be hurtful, harmful or incite harm, and promote or propagate hatred. “All three are met in this instance,” he says. “De Hewitt’s intention and the effect of his writing is to propagate hatred against Jews. It’s hurtful and a call to action.”
While it remains problematic to define such behaviour as a criminal act, it’s possible to implement sanctions such as fines and demands for an apology. However, as Oppenheimer notes, the fact that De Hewitt’s actual name and location have yet to be determined make this difficult.
Charisse Zeifert, head of communication at the SAJBD, agrees, saying that the problem with social media is that people like De Hewitt are able to hide behind false identities and spew their hatred anonymously. “This is a global problem, and we need to be part of the broader society in fighting it,” she says. “De Hewitt’s posts demonise and dehumanise Jews as well as blacks to a degree that is not merely deeply shocking but dangerous.
“We know that words all to easily lead to action, which is why the SAJBD has been so active in bringing to book those responsible for propagating this kind of hatred in the appropriate judicial forums, as well as in serving on the Hate Crimes Working Group in trying to get the Hate Crimes Bill passed to ensure that there are consequences for disseminating bigoted and racist speech.”
The SA Jewish Report reached out repeatedly to De Hewitt for comment, but received no response at the time of going to print.
