Total Devastation in Zimbabwe

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

SubTitle: How News from Zim is suppressed

Things are getting extremely busy here as my contact with Zimbabweans grows. I wish I was
dedicated to this full time because there is a mass of suppressed information coming from
Zimbabwe which could fill books. This week I have a number of stories to tell from my
first-hand contacts which you will not see in any newspaper or on any website anywhere.

I am also trying very hard to get more photos of human cruelty, especially to black people to
put on my website at: www.AfricanCrisis.org to
show people the dreadful things going on there. I have just added a new section showing
a the first photograph I have of a starving black Zimbabwean man, along with photos of
protests by Zimbabweans in South Africa. Click

It has always been obvious to those of us living here, that news from our part of the world
rarely reaches the USA or Europe in a pure, raw – truthful form.

Last friday, there was an attempt to murder 4 anti-Mugabe activists here in South Africa. I
know these black men personally, and one of them is still in hospital with a broken shoulder.
He didn’t have enough money to pay for an operation, so he is lying in one of our Government
hospitals which is run down through our socialist medical system. Hopefully he can have
an operation to save his arm. He may lose part of the use of it anyway. The blacks forbade me
from mentioning their names or even mentioning this attempt on their lives by 3 black men
suspected of being agents of Mugabe. I really don’t feel like keeping my mouth shut about this.
So it is with great reluctance that I have to keep the details of their murder attempt to myself
for now. They believe that they are small fry and that Mugabe will have them knocked off very
easily here in Johannesburg using his intelligence agents and nobody will miss them or notice
their loss. They don’t have enough money to afford body guards, and they may have to go into
hiding which of course will be very inconvenient for them and will curtail their anti-Mugabe
activities (which is obviously what Mugabe wants). I saw the one guy yesterday, he had a long
cut across his head, with 10 stitches in it. They were all badly hurt, but only one is still in
hospital and they suffered the loss of personal property which they don’t have the money to replace.
So that is as much as I will say for now. Later I may tell the whole story anyway because I hate
the idea of people not knowing the truth, but I must also try and honour their requests (the logic
of which I disagree with). So be it.

Of course, these black Zimbabweans in South Africa are at the mercy of Mugabe’s people even here
because this country just turns a blind eye to anything Mugabe he does. So there is no hope of
the murder attempt being investigated by the South African Police. I’m sure the Zimbabweans did
not even report the incident.

Yesterday, I was at a meeting with a South African photo journalist working for our national TV.
He was sent up to Zimbabwe to get details of the environmental destruction there. This journalist
spent two weeks in Zimbabwe filming. He told us how he had prepared a 30-minute documentary and
showed it to TV executives this week, for airing next week. But the minute they saw it, they
decided it could not be allowed to run. They would have to edit it extensively. He is now
concerned that when the final watered-down version hits the air at the end of January – it will
have little impact. We were discussing with him the problems of getting valid film footage out
of Zimbabwe.

Ever since Mugabe came to power in 1980, there were rumours that he was having the mail opened.
I discovered, in recent weeks, as my contact with Zimbabweans increases, that they almost never
use the mail or courier to smuggle computer CD’s or photos or videos out of the country because
these things just disappear mysteriously. Now people smuggle these things out in person. The South
Africa photo journalist told us how he eventually had to flee from Zimbabwe because the “War Vets”
surrounded and besieged the 75-year-old white farmer he was staying with. They surrounded the
old man and locked him in his home and demanded that he hand over the journalist. The journalist
had to flee, with only the film footage he had on him, leaving the other films behind in the
farmer’s house.

The journalist told us that what he had seen in the last two weeks in Zimbabwe depressed him
beyond belief. He was a young guy, he looked at us and said “You realise this is coming to
South Africa of course?” He told us how, in earlier years he had always thought of fleeing
north into Africa, if South Africa itself were to fall apart. He figured that the racial
issues of South Africa do not exist in other black countries. He told us that he had now
abandoned this thinking altogether – there is no hope for Africa. He said he’s going to start
accumulating US Dollars and British Pounds and begin preparing to abandon Africa altogether.
Like the rest of us, he does not want to abandon this continent, but he says there is no hope.
The other (Jewish) women at the meeting – who are animal rights activists were saying that they
are also starting to feel that Zimbabwe is the writing on the wall that there is no hope at all
for South Africa and that its time to consider thinking of fleeing. Everyone was depressed. I
told them that I’m past depression. I used to be depressed. But I’m over that, I’m just promising
that in my final years here, that I kick up the biggest fuss imaginable and I will throw myself
into any activity which hurts my enemies to the maximum. The Governments of South Africa, Zimbabwe,
Namibia, Mozambique and Angola make up our own “Axis of Evil” and I am quite happy to throw
all my energy into exposing them. I want all the world to know what a bunch of liars, thieves and
mass murderers they are. So I smiled and told them: “Don’t be depressed, because if you are then
evil will have an easy victory. It is your MORAL DUTY to fight evil at every twist and turn and
make them pay dearly for every inch that they advance.”

The journalist said that Zimbabwe would never recover from the devastation being wrought there.
All these “Greenie” environmentalists cry whenever there is an oil spill – well – wait until you
hear what Mugabe’s socialism is doing to that country. In October I saw a satellite photograph
of Zimbabwe showing its desertification. I must find this image and put it on my website. I’m
going to build an extensive Zimbabwe photo gallery as the material now comes my way. I will
be hard at work on it this December and will begin putting piece of it out, each week or two.

A lot of white Zimbabweans have family outside Zimbabwe who are helping to pull them out of
the country. I know of people here in South Africa who are bringing their families out of
Zim. But there are the “trapped ones” – and they are now truly stuck. Like farmers whose farms
have been wiped out, and all they have left is their homestead in which they are living. I asked
the journalist how people survive. He said he doesn’t know because most of those whites he saw
had no incomes left. He said the 75-year old man he was living with was taking the carcasses of
animals poached by the War Veterans and turning them into biltong (dried meat – beef jerky) and
he was eating that.

He said the despondency, frustration and anger of the remaining people there is impossible to
describe. Everywhere he went, people were either so angry, or so despondent that they just broke
down. He said you couldn’t speak to the women because they just break down in tears. Their entire
lives have been wiped out. So now anger is setting in, a fierce anger, and a lot of it is now
directed at blacks in general. He said many have reached the point where they don’t care if their
faces are shown on TV because they have nothing to lose – they’ve lost it all anyway. Now they
say what they want – and he said they are very blunt and say the most racist things imaginable –
things so racist that it is against South African Law to show this on TV. The few remaining
trapped whites are incredibly bitter an extremely angry.

I had a similar experience on my website. A recently displaced white Zimbabwean wrote the
following in my guest book the other day:
“As a recently displaced Rhodesian (I cannot call myself a Zimbabwean any
longer!) farmer & engineer, descended directly of pioneer stock, I’ve been
tempted to write a book. I shall call it “The Errors of Civilisation”
methinks. The content shall include, for example, my thoughts on why a
being who had not even seen a wheel barely one hundred years ago, should
not be allowed behind the wheel of a Merc, or indeed allowed to repair a
cell phone – and God forbid he be allowed to rule a country…”

I’ll say Robert Mugabe has certainly achieved his aim of destroying the racial harmony
which existed in that country. I have been warning about this sort of thing for a long
time.

He said, everywhere he went he kept hearing about the War Vets and the incredible destruction
they were wreaking on the environment. I must pause, and tell people outside Africa, that the
environment and the wonderful animal life of Africa is something we native white Africans take
a great pride in. Huge game reserves were established as far back as a hundred years ago in
parts of Southern Africa. Whites take great pride in preserving the animals of Africa. So
environmental issues, and the needless slaughter of wildlife, especially in a cruel manner is
something which gets our backs up. Conservation has always been a big aspect of our culture.

So the War Vets insane and cruel destruction of everything in their path makes people very
angry. The farmers tell of how the War Vets have huge packs of vicious dogs with which they
hunt down wild animals at will. As you can appreciate, you are seeing in this scenario, the
blacks returning to the savagery and cruelty which existed in pre-colonial times. You are
watching people going backward and using old, wasteful, destructive methods of doing things.

Even here in South Africa, the issue of blacks hunting animals with packs of wild dogs is
something which most people dislike, even if it is “traditional”. The main issue is the
needless cruelty and suffering which most people hate. Snares are a favourite way for
blacks to hunt animals. Snares are very effective, easy to set up, and extremely cruel.
Elephants lose their trunks in snare, or their feet. Animals suffer and die in a terrible
way over long periods of time.

There used to be (the key phrase is USED TO BE), private game farms and conservancies in
Zimbabwe where wild life was bred some of which was sold or selected for hunting by American
and other tourists. The resultant income, in US Dollars being a very value income. Game
farming in Southern Africa has become very popular and profitable in recent decades and this
is the main way in which a lot of animals have been preserved.

The War Vets go and put up snares all across the length of a farm. Then they go with their
packs of dogs and chase all the animals from one end of the farm to the other. A couple of
animals will get caught in the snares. The War Vets will leave them all to die a slow and
painful death, while going to one animal, cutting its leg off and going to eat it. The
remaining animals will die and rot and never be eaten or used. Then, a few days later the
War Vets will repeat this same exercise. The journalist said the wastage and total disregard
for everything was unbelievable.

He said he personally saw 8 giraffes killed by the War Vets. They were killed in a cruel manner.
He said the blacks are now so desperate for food, that they are killing EVERY LIVING THING IN SIGHT
in order to get food. This means total environmental wipe-out. Of course, once all the animals are
dead, the blacks will die too. But by the time they die, the place will be a desert. I have
heard many reports from Zimbabwe about the desertification of that very beautiful country.
For those of us who lived there, it is unthinkable that it has come to this. One of the most
beautiful countries in the world is being completely wiped out – because of one man – Mugabe.

The few remaining white farmers who are well aware of the War Vets and their dogs, have grown
to have an absolute hatred for them and their animals. He said he saw a white farmer coming
upon some of these dogs and immediately shooting them with his rifle. He did not have enough
bullets to kill those who were wounded, so he grabbed an axe and furiously chopped the dogs to
death in his rage.

The journalist said the emotion and anger among the few remaining whites is difficult to
describe. They have nothing left, and they spend much of their time giving emotional support
to each other and trying to talk each other into staying positive. Interestingly I have not yet
heard of any suicides among whites there. People seem to have quite a lot of spirit. I have
noticed this spirit among all the Zimbabweans I come across, and I am actually very impressed by
it. My admiration for them has actually gone up a lot in recent weeks as I deal with black and
white Zimbabweans, male and female who either live in South Africa or who travel between the two
countries. None of them just want to run. The ANGER inside them is unbelievable. When Mugabe’s
people tried to kill those blacks last week, it was business as usual for all of them except
the guy who was in hospital. The minute they were discharged they continued, as if nothing had
happened, working against Mugabe. They don’t even complain. They make like nothing happened.

Whites in Zimbabwe, and MDC activists receive death threats from Mugabe’s people all the time.
It is quite normal for Mugabe’s people to try to run them off the road, or to try to kill them
in some other way. None of them moan about it, they just ignore the death threats and continue
on as normal – all of them. The only ones in South Africa are those who really had to make a
run for their lives. But the RESOLVE in the hearts of blacks to fight Mugabe is unbelievable.
They just tell me they don’t care if he kills them, because others will carry on when they are
dead. They say that he can’t kill the idea – in fact – the more he tries to kill them the harder
they will fight back. As I said in earlier posts, when I spoke to black Zimbabweans in South
Africa and said to them that from 2000, I had been proposing that we raise an army to fight
him, they immediately broke out into huge smiles. Even women, who are normally peaceful, said
to me “It is the only way”. War is the only way to save that country. But none of the international
players have the balls to do it. No country is willing to arm the Zimbabweans in neighbouring
states, and all the governments of the neighbouring states are in cahoots with Mugabe (except
for Botswana which is America’s only true ally in the region). There are 2.5 million black
Zimbabweans in South Africa. There are more than enough Zimbabwean men here to raise an army to
wipe Mugabe off the face of the Earth. We could easily recruit 200,000 black Zimbabweans here
in South Africa and let them storm their way back into Zimbabwe. Mugabe’s Army is only about
50,000 strong. We could beat him, in a conventional war. We have enough arms here in South
Africa and more than enough whites who can train them. Everything is here – but it won’t happen.
It will never be done. Instead, we must watch everything die up there – and our government here
is a part of the reason why.

If one is to fight Mugabe, one must do it properly, or else he will unleash all hell upon
the remaining blacks. If one were to engage in pin-prick attacks on him, he would retaliate
by slaughtering blacks en masse in retribution.

I am keen to see what he does if the USA tries to drop food there. I have a suspicion he will
send War Vets and troops to immediately confiscate any food dropped (unless it is done so
secretly that his agents on the ground do not find out about it).

If it were not for the government in South Africa, I am certain the anti-Mugabe sentiment in
South Africa is so strong that we would have organised an invasion of Zimbabwe. I am convinced
of this. The whites and blacks from Zimbabwe here number about 2.7 million and the majority
of South Africans are firmly against Mugabe. Organising an army would not be a problem here.
But that won’t be possible. The only hope is that groups are organised in neighbouring states.
The black Zimbabweans here spoke about trying to “surround” Mugabe and trying to win friends in
all the neighbouring states and using several points to jump off from to invade Zimbabwe. This
is a viable plan – but will any government – anywhere – sponsor this? I doubt it, but I keep
hoping someone, somewhere, in a position of power, will look at ways of helping those blacks
to fight against him.

The journalist told me that on one huge conservancy they had 12,000 animals but Mugabe’s people
have wiped out most of the animals and only 3,000 are left.

He told me of how the War Vets will die too. Mugabe gave orders for them to destroy the trees
so that they could plant maize. Parts of Zimbabwe are only suitable for cattle farming because
the rainfall is below the 600mm required for maize. The War Vets burned down trees to make way
for the places they were going to plough. He said a white farmer who had been living there for
50 years, showed him his rainfall records for the area and there had only been more 600mm or
more on three occasions since 1963! In other words, there is virtually no chance of them ever
growing maize there! But the stupid War Vets of course don’t know that. So they destroyed all
the vegetation. Now you can’t grow maize there, and you can’t farm with cattle either!! They
will die.

The journalist said the fact is that a massive ethnic cleansing is taking place in Zimbabwe – but
South African TV won’t allow him to state it! He just shook his head.

Then he told me how the South African Government is definitely part of the problem. Minister
of Foreign Affairs Nkosasana Zuma, (who has a prime seat in hell waiting for her), visited
Zimbabwe recently and came declaring that the situation there “is blown out of all proportion
by the world’s media, ESPECIALLY THE SOUTH AFRICAN MEDIA!” Let me quickly tell the Reader about
this small, round woman who definitely will be conversing with Satan when she leaves this Earth.
She was the Minister of Health here and immediately applied her Socialist ideas to Health Care
which did tremendous damage to Health Care in South Africa. Then she was “promoted” to Minister
of Foreign Affairs. There has even been speculation in the South African media that she might
become the next President!!

Zuma is always complaining that journalists “misquote” her. She says things, puts her foot in it,
gets caught out and then pretends she did not say that. She says things which we see on TV and
later says we “did not understand”. This photo journalist wanted to catch her out on national TV.
He wanted to put footage of her on TV showing her saying that there was no problem in Zimbabwe,
and then he would counter by showing real film footage and leave the viewers to decide for
themselves and realise what a liar she really is (which everyone suspects anyway). But now
he can’t get hold of her! When he phones her office, there is always some excuse as to why
she can’t be interviewed to give her a final chance to say something about Zimbabwe.

According to the Zimbabwe Government there is no problem there!! One South African animal
rights activist told me how she had chased up a story last year about the destruction of wild
life in a game reserve in Zimbabwe. A Zimbabwe government official told her to keep her nose
out of it, and that nothing was wrong. The journalist told me he had the same experience.
Mugabe’s Minister of Information (disinformation actually!), Professor Jonathan Moyo, is
Mugabe’s arch liar. He refused the South African journalist entry into Zimbabwe. He said that
they did not want journalists there because whenever foreign journalists came there, they caused
them trouble! So they preferred none. Anyway, Mugabe has been forcing journalists to “register”
in Zimbabwe, and has kicked most of them out. You must understand, he wants to murder his people
in peace! According to Professor Moyo (I admire his “in-your-face” kind of lies), there is
no destruction of animal wildlife. According to him, white farmers are shooting their own
animals and then putting the photos on the Internet!! This is the same Moyo who said
white farmers cut themselves deliberately and then pretend they were attacked by War Vets!
You just have to admire Moyo’s balls at telling such bold and blatant lies in such a
convincing manner.

The South African journalist told me that the Zimbabwe government now charges US$10,000
for a VISA, and $1,000 PER DAY for each day that the journalist stays in the country. He remarked
that even big media organisations like the BBC and CNN don’t have budgets for those sorts of
costs and so this is effectively keeping journalists out – except for the rare few. How
did the South African journalist get in? Well, he sneaked in illegally.

I heard from animal rights activists that someone here in South Africa has 16 video tapes
about the destruction of wildlife in Zim.

There has long been a controversy in South Africa that South African farmers who own land
up in Zimbabwe are especially targetted by the War Vets and that the South African government
does nothing to help them. According to the journalist, he saw an interesting thing. These
South African farmer’s had had their properties destroyed by the War Vets, but there was the
odd farm owned by a Frenchman or a German, and these properties were completely in tact. The
War Vets had left these people completely alone. The South Africans were extremely bitter,
because they were saying that this is because the French and the Germans had strong words
with Mugabe and had warned him not to touch the properties of their nationals or there would
be trouble! The South Africans were very embittered because the South African government could
have done the same. But it just pretended there wasn’t a problem, and had left them to rot!
This shows clearly how well controlled Mugabe’s War Vets really are – they only attack those
whom Mugabe wants to attack.

I do know for a fact, that Germans in Zimbabwe have been lobbying the German government a lot,
and the German government was one of the first to make some strong statements about Mugabe as
far back as 2 years ago. I know for example that there is still a lot of lobbying going on
of the German government, and that they are getting a lot of good information about the situation
in Zimbabwe. So Mugabe is not pulling the wool over their eyes. It goes to show that any strong
stand against Mugabe would work. He only succeeds when people do not fight back, and being the
Marxist piece of garbage that he is, he only attacks the weak. What he needs is FIRM ACTION,
to send him reeling – which is why I am alway advocating my pet idea of raising an army against
him. I can dream can’t I?

The journalist told me of some of the outright evil he saw. A War Vet arrived in one area
with his own cattle which had been infected with foot and mouth disease. He let them run among
the stud cattle of one of the biggest ranchers in Zimbabwe. This herd of cattle was worth
millions of US Dollars. Soon, the stud cattle got foot and mouth disease. So the white farmer
complained to the government. The government then sent an official who said that it was the
white farmer (with stud cattle), who had the foot and mouth disease and that these had infected
the War Vets’ cattle! So the white farmer was forced to pay the War Vet for the loss of his
cattle, while the white farmer’s stud herd was totally decimated.

I should point out that during the original war which brought Mugabe to power, lots of cattle
in the then Rhodesia were killed. Back then, there was an enormous national herd. It was said,
when Zimbabwe came into being that the national cattle herd had been severely damaged. Thus
in the years of Mugabe’s rule, there were a lot less cattle than in the days of colonial
Rhodesia. So think about this: Apparently, 80% of these remaining cattle have been wiped out
in the last two years!! Something like a million cattle have been slaughtered during the
last two years – and this includes many stud herds of cattle. Some may be irreplacable because
I know of special cattle which were bred for Zimbabwean conditions. Whites had developed these
cattle after decades of careful selective breeding. These cattle are unique and aren’t found
even in South Africa. The journalist said, he was told that the Zimbabwe National herd is down
to about 400,000 cattle.

Yesterday I was talking to a black Zimbabwean now living in South Africa who had studied
electoral law and had run a polling station during the parliamentary elections there in June
2001. He told me how Mugabe cheated in the area he was in. He said that when they go on courses
in preparation for holding elections, they are told “You are now a Civil Servant and you must
not do things to the detriment of your employer. You don’t want want to lose your job and
your employment benefits. You don’t want to lose your life do you?” After those “hints”, they
then make all the electoral officials sign the Official Secrets Act which prevents them from
discussing anything that happens during the electoral process with journalists.

Now he lives in South Africa – having had to flee for his life. He told me during the parliamentary
elections soldiers arrived with ballot boxes (stuffed with votes) which they were going to add
to the votes already cast at the polling station. When he objected to this, they fired some shots
in the air and said to him “Do you want the next bullet to be in YOUR HEAD?” So he stood aside
and let them bring in the rigged ballot boxes with the votes.

As my involvement with Zimbabwe grows, and as I meet more and more people, including journalists,
or I attend Press conferences (in my own private time, at my own expense), I am am starting to
realise that there is plenty of news about Zimbabwe. I am starting to see what journalists get
first-hand – journalists from across the world – and my mouth is agape at how little,
passes by the editors, the legal teams and the many other hurdles placed in the way of the truth.
It stuns me, how easily, news is kept from people across the world. Of course, there may be
some idiots who think I’m writing nonsense, but in the fullness of time, when the truth
eventually is fully realised, people will see that every word I am writing here is true.

The thing which outrages me at the moment is how the truth is suppressed, and how that mechanism
works. A lot of people are of course cowards and lack the principles to stand firmly. Then there
are also journalists who can have their careers destroyed in a second if they try to buck the
system. But then again, the bigger question is how many people in the world care about right
and wrong? Or is Oil more important?
