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 tells whites to leave or risk jail over land
Harare – Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe Wednesday warned white opponents of his controversial land reforms to cooperate, leave the country or face jail. “Those do not deserve to be in Zimbabwe and we shall take steps to ensure that they are not entitled to our land,” Mugabe told supporters who turned out to welcome him home from the Earth Summit in Johannesburg. He said some Zimbabwean whites were urging former colonial power Britain to tighten sanctions or send troops to topple him. He cited in particular two white opposition leaders, Roy Bennett and David Coltart, who are frequent targets of his anti-white rhetoric. “The Bennetts and the Coltarts are not part of our society. They belong to Britain and let them go there. If they want to stay here, we will say ‘Stay here, but your place is in jail’.” He said whites should obey orders to surrender their farms if they wanted to stay in the country. Political observers said Mugabe had often named Bennett, a legislator for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), and Coltart, the party’s legal affairs secretary, in attacks on white critics. “I don’t think this necessarily means he is planning specific action against them. He could be naming them as representatives of all his critics,” one observer said.
Mugabe lashed out at British Prime Minister Tony Blair in an address to delegates and heads of state at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) Monday. Though Blair and some other delegates were harshly critical of Mugabe and his seizure of white-owned farms for blacks, the 78-year-old president and his wife, Grace, were cheered and applauded at all their public appearances. Mugabe said his land reforms had received wide international support at the summit, except from Europe and the United States. Several Western countries have branded Mugabe’s victory in March presidential elections illegitimate and have imposed sanctions on him and his close associates, including his wife. Police have charged more than 300 white farmers for defying an August 8 government deadline for 2,900 of the remaining 4,500 white commercial farmers to quit their land without compensation. Mugabe, who has been in power since independence from Britain in 1980, says his land drive is aimed at correcting colonial injustice, which left 70 percent of the country’s best land in the hands of white farmers. Zimbabwe has been in crisis since pro-government militants led by veterans of the 1970s liberation war began invading white-owned farms in early 2000. Aid agencies say nearly half the country’s 13 million people need food aid this year, part of a wider food crisis in six drought-stricken southern African countries.
