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.

Zim: Villages Burned & 3 feared dead in political violence
[Note: Mugabe’s ZANU(PF) won the rigged local elections which have just taken place. Jan]
President Robert Mugabe’s ruling Zanu PF on Tuesday won a key parliamentary by-election in a bloody weekend in Zimbabwe in which three opposition supporters are feared dead after being attacked by ruling party militants. Zanu PF retained the Hurungwe constituency. Marko Madiro polled about 16 000 votes for Zanu PF against Chief Justin Dandawa of the Movement for Democratic Change who polled 2 000 votes. The by-election was marred by violence and intimidation which stopped the opposition from holding a single campaign rally. Zanu PF controls 63 of the 120 contested seats in parliament against the MDC’s 56 with a minor opposition party controlling one seat. The constitution allows Mugabe to appoint 30 extra MPs, giving his party a comfortable majority to pass legislation.
The Hurungwe by-election coincided with rural district council elections also won by the ruling Zanu-PF party. Although official results were yet to be announced, the MDC said it had so far won only 27 of the 1 400 rural district wards. The opposition party did not expect to win more than 50 and Zanu PF was expected to win the remainder. The MDC said it was not able to field candidates in 700 wards. Three opposition party polling agents in the district council elections were feared dead after they were attacked by ruling party militants at a counting centre in the Zanu PF stronghold town of Bindura in Mashonaland Central province. The three were hit with axes in a fight that started when Zanu PF militants chased away opposition polling agents from the centre. MDC spokesperson Paul Themba Nyathi said whole villages had been burnt down in wards where the MDC had won the district council elections.
