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.

Switzerland Freezes some Mugabe Assets
Bern – Swiss authorities said on Monday they had frozen $10 000 in a bank account linked to the regime of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs refused to identify the account holders or provide other details, but said the money had been blocked following notification from the bank. The move follows a Swiss decision in March to impose economic and diplomatic sanctions on Zimbabwe, including the freezing of assets and a ban on travel by senior government officials. This shadowed sanctions imposed by the European Union, of which Switzerland is not a member. The 15-nation EU imposed the embargo against President Robert Mugabe’s government after international outrage over allegedly rigged elections in March. The United States also has imposed sanctions. Last week, British authorities said they had frozen (194)Â(163)£76 000 ($118 500) in assets belonging to Mugabe’s party.
Zimbabwe has been wracked for the past two years by political violence that opposition supporters, human rights activists and many international officials blame on the ruling Zanu PF party. Mugabe (77) has ruled Zimbabwe since it won independence from Britain in 1980. As his popularity has waned, he has imposed curbs on journalists and opposition parties, and many of his critics have been attacked or threatened with prosecution. Zimbabwe’s government also has targeted about 95 percent of farms owned by the country’s white minority for seizure, saying it wants to redistribute them to landless blacks. The often violent programme of seizures has been condemned by Western governments and has contributed to widespread food shortages
