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.

USA remains critical of Zim Farm evictions
There was more U.S. criticism of Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe
Monday as he reaffirmed his government’s eviction of thousands of white
commercial farmers from their homesteads. The State Department said Mr. Mugabe is putting millions of people at risk by pursuing a dubious land reform program during a regional drought and food crisis.
In some of the strongest U.S. comments to date, State Department
spokesman Philip Reeker linked the move against commercial farmers to what he termed the Mugabe government’s “assault” on political opponents and the
independent news media. He said those policies have undermined the country’s democratic institutions and all but destroyed the economy.
“At a time when six million Zimbabweans are without adequate food
supplies, that the government of Zimbabwe’s attempts to evict commercial farmers and thousands of farm workers is extremely reckless and, in fact,
reprehensible,” he said. The Bush administration has said it recognizes the need for “reasonable” land reform in Zimbabwe but says forced expulsions and property seizures are taking the country in the opposite direction. Officials in Washington say there are credible reports of senior Zimbabwean political and security figures assuming ownership of expropriated farms, underlining the cynicism, they say, of a program supposed to benefit landless workers.
