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.

Mugabe"s not mad: He"s a Marxist with a Mission
The following article from the Sunday Telegraph, is a reflection almost exactly, of the way I understand Mugabe and the Marxists in Africa. This is dead on.
This was the headline of Bruce Moore-King’s article in London’s Sunday
Telegraph (17/3/02). “What has happened in Zimbabwe has not been ‘land
redistribution’ as such but the nationalisation of the agricultural
sector,” he affirmed. “This is a continuing process, as is the
nationalisation of the industrial base. The economy may be in ruins,
in capitalist terms, but from President Robert Mugabe’s perspective
he has removed external economic dependence and is in the process of
redistributing wealth and empowering the peasantry… What has been
seen by the West as the corruption and subornation of the police, the
judiciary and the military has actually been, in terms of Mugabe’s
strategy, the redefining of those institutions’ primary obligation.
That obligation is now to the ‘state,’ and therefore the society, not
the individual. And the state, of course, is ‘the party’ and the party
is the state.”
“Mugabe and the other African leaders blame the West for the state of
Africa,” noted Moore-King. “He has won from his fellow heads of state
an endorsement for his belief that the Western democratic system, and
Western economic dependence, has brought Africa nothing but chaos,
corruption, poverty and brutality. His eventual goal is a Marxist-led
United States of Africa.”
“You must know that you have neither the right nor standing to
interfere with the rule of law in Zimbabwe,” Zimbabwe’s Information
Minister Jonathan Moyo said in response to a letter from Reporters
Sans Frontieres (RSF) protesting the arrests of two senior Zimbabwean
journalists. “Given your track record of always sending us
irresponsible, thoughtless and malicious letters each time opposition
journalists are held accountable for deliberately and wilfully
committing illegal actions, your vulgarity in this matter has now
gone too far.”
The impasse over the disputed elections (Roca Report no 159) continues
with Mugabe ruling as though the elections were uncontested and the
Movement for Democratic Change charging massive fraud and calling for
a new vote under international supervision. Talks aimed at breaking
the deadlock and brokered by South Africa and Nigeria, both of which
have pronounced the elections as legitimate, started on an optimistic
note. “SA and Nigerian facilitators at Zimbabwe’s party political
talks yesterday forced President Robert Mugabe’s ruling Zanu-PF to
abandon its rigid position and agree to discuss rerunning last month’s
flawed election,” said Dumisani Muleya (Business Day 11/4/02). “After
a bruising initial engagement. President Thabo Mbeki’s envoy, Kgalema
Motlanthe, who is also the ANC’s secretary-general, and Nigerian
leader Olusegun Obasanjo’s emissary, Adebayo Adedeji, pushed Zanu-PF
away from its hardline stance. Local and international bodies have
been increasing pressure for a fresh poll. Mugabe told US President
George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair – who said his
victory was fraudulent – to ‘go to hell’.”
“We are going to the talks fully aware of the limitations and the
scepticism,” said MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai (The Citizen 18/4/02).
However, Zanu-PF called off the talks on 10/5/02 because the MDC had
challenged the election results in court.
Zimbabwe’s growing dependence on Muammar Gaddafi is raising concern in
some quarters. “Libya now supplies 70 percent of Zimbabwe’s fuel,”
said The Citizen (10/4/02). “A deal signed between Harare and Tripoli
last year, valued at 360 million US dollars, has allowed for regular
flows of fuel to Zimbabwe, which suffered shortages for nearly two
years.” “Zimbabwe had offered 10 000 hectares of farmland and several
Harare apartments to Libya in exchange for desperately needed fuel
supplies,” according to the Zimbabwean independent weekly Standard,
quoted by The Citizen (27/4/02). The Libyan ambassador to Zimbabwe
hotly denied the claims regarding the land offer.
BRIEF NEWS ITEMS
Charles Nqakula (49), long-standing chairman of the SA Communist Party
and former SACP general secretary, and a man rated as one of Mbeki’s
closest confidants, was appointed Minister of Safety and Security on
6/5/02. He had been deputy minister of Home Affairs and, as Mbeki’s
parliamentary councillor, the president’s eyes and ears. He was
infiltrated back into South Africa in 1988, as one of the commanders
of Operation Vula with the mission to build the movement’s underground
and military structures. Although a member of the ANC’s national
executive committee, Mbeki is said to have consulted neither the ANC
leadership nor his cabinet before making the appointment. Nqakula’s
wife, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, the newly appointed ANC chief whip in
the national assembly, replaced her husband as deputy Home Affairs
minister. Nqakula succeeds Steve Tshwete (63) who died unexpectedly of
pneumonia in No 1 military hospital, Pretoria, on 19/4/02, following a
spinal operation.
The state had not proved beyond reasonable doubt its case against Dr
Wouter Basson, head of the defence force’s clandestine chemical and
biological warfare programme in the 1980s and early 1990s, Judge
Willie Hartzenberg said on 11/4/02. Basson faced 46 charges, including
murder, fraud and theft, in one of South Africa’s most expensive
criminal trials which ran for more than two years. Citing the
fragmented nature of the state’s case as one of the reasons for the
acquittal, the judge said the state had relied mainly on prima facie
evidence, expecting it to be corroborated in court by witnesses. He
said he found himself having to weigh up the accused’s version against
that of state witnesses who had their own skeletons in the cupboard.
He accepted Basson’s nine weeks of evidence as being reasonably true.
Predictably, the “not guilty” verdict infuriated the African National
Congress and its long-time apologists
Mankoba Bengu, the 14-year-old son of Susan Shabangu, Deputy Minister
of Energy Affairs, set off a smoke bomb in the cloakroom of the
Sunward Park High School, Boksburg, on 11/11/01 and held the door
closed. As a result, 10 fellow pupils suffered smoke inhalation and
had to be hospitalised for observation. At a disciplinary hearing, he
admitted two previous offences at the school – setting off
firecrackers and igniting petrol. In December, the school recommended
to the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) that the boy be expelled,
but received no response. When the boy committed yet another offence,
firing caps in the classroom early in 2002, legal advice was sought
and a High Court application compelled the GDE to reply. The boy was
finally expelled on 15/5/02. However, Gauteng MEC for Education,
Ignatius Jacobs, immediately overruled the expulsion, saying the
delinquent was a scientist in the making! Jacobs ordered that the boy
be punished in the form of community service but refused to give
written reasons for reinstating him. “People can be forgiven for
assuming he (Jacobs) placed political loyalty above the educational
needs of Gauteng,” editorialised The Citizen (18/5/02).
Big Brother is getting more power to watch you! “Casinos, estate
agencies, law firms, insurance brokerages and motor car dealerships
are among 19 commercial institutions which will now be forced by law
to report suspicious transactions to a new, anti-money laundering
unit,” reported Prega Govender (Sunday Times 12/5/02). “The Financial
Intelligence Centre will collect and analyse information and pass it
on to the SA Police or Scorpions to investigate. At present, only
banks are required by law under the Prevention of Organised Crime Act
to report suspicious transactions.
The Department of Finance reached an agreement with the Lesbian and
Gay Equality Project on 20/3/02 granting the partners of gay and
lesbian civil employees the same rights to pensions as married
couples. The cost will be R12 million!
