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 gangs arrest 147 white farmers
Scores of people were being held in police stations across Zimbabwe last night as Robert Mugabe’s regime fulfilled its promise to enforce eviction orders against 2,900 farmers. A Zimbabwean police spokesman said 147 white farmers had been arrested in a weekend of raids that were both violent and arbitrary with gangs of uniformed “officers” behaving like lawless thugs.
Driving around the countryside in police Land Rovers, many of the “officers” were members of the Zanu PF youth militia who had been specially issued with the uniforms. The militia has been responsible for some of the worst acts of violence during Zimbabwe’s land crisis over the last two years. At least one farmer suffered head injuries and a broken leg during his arrest despite having voluntarily left his property and a number of women were seized and held in cells before being released without charge.
The government appeared to target only farming communities it saw as belligerent or uncooperative while leaving other white areas largely untouched. As with much of the land-acquisition process in Zimbabwe over the last two years, the granting of bail to the arrested farmers was piecemeal and illogical. Dozens of farmers were charged with obstructing the law and then released but in several cases the farmers were refused bail and held in police cells. The treatment of one elderly and infirm farmer from Matabeleland was so brutal that the opposition Movement for Democratic Change claimed it represented a clear breach of the United Nations’ Convention against Torture.
In Harare a leading political scientist, Professor Masipule Sithole, described the targeting of the white farmers as a clear act of racist thuggery. “This whole exercise of evictions is racist and cruel, and smacks of barbarism,” he said. The human rights of the farmers have been grossly overlooked in this exercise. I am depressed. It couldn’t happen at a more inopportune time when we are faced with devastating food shortages and here we are stopping farming.” A 67-year-old farmer, Guy Coke-Norris, who recently had a heart by-pass operation, was refused bail even though the prosecutor in Mutare, eastern Zimbabwe, recommended his release on humanitarian grounds.
[Comments: If there is one place which destroys the Liberal stereotypes regarding race issues, it is Africa. In the above we see Professor Sithole, a black man, saying that blacks are carrying out racist acts against whites. Also, in the above story we see the “Zanu Militia/War Veterans” being issued with Police uniforms. This makes a mockey of Mugabe’s lies from two years ago that the “War Veterans” were disgruntled blacks. Instead, it is now clear, for all to see, that the Government was behind the War Veterans all along. It also says something about Mugabe that his paid thugs are now accorded the same status as Police. It demonstrates how dirty he is prepared to play. Jan]
