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.

Zim: Food as a Political Weapon – Eating only once in 3 days
I was listening to SW Radio which is an independant station in England set up by ex-Zimbabweans. It broadcasts to Zimbabwe.
Various black callers testified that the food shortage in Zimbabwe is critical across the country. They said that Zimbabweans are now only getting one meal every three days.
It also reported that ZANU(PF) are using food as a political weapon and seeing to it that its supporters get the food.
Another interesting development is that Mugabe is allocating former white farms to senior politicians in ZANU(PF). What is especially interesting is that the Zimbabwe Army is chasing blacks off these farms so that they can be given to these politicians. This goes to show that Mugabe could have used force if he had wanted to all along to clear illegal squatters from white farms!! Clearly the army and police only act on orders from above. It goes to demonstrate, once more, what hypocritical liars they really are!!!
A caller from Bulawayo said the food shortage is critical. He said one store got 50 bags of 10 Kg of mealie meal and it was sold out within minutes and a huge queue was outside. One man begged for food saying he had not had mealie meal for a month – but he was given nothing.
The caller said that donor food from foreign countries was being hijacked and then distributed by ZANU(PF) officials. He said that officials were afraid of talking about this because of fear of retailiation from ZANU(PF).
An MDC candidate in the Chiredzi council elections said that sugar, oil & mealie meal was unobtainable in the area. He said when food did arrive it was sold from the houses of ZANU(PF) officials only. Many people who were desperate for food were joining ZANU(PF) to get party cards in an attempt to then get food from ZANU(PF) officials. The MDC offical reported that people were likely to vote for whoever would give them food.
