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.

MDC rejects notion of overthrowing Mugabe
[Note. This is the story of Zimbabwe – a country where the leader is a crook, a murderer, etc – and everybody else wants to do everything legally and by the book. A country where the leader has no problem having people beaten, murdered, tortured, etc – but nobody else sees the sense in violence. Are they principled, or just cowards? Everyone talks. Nobody does. The only man who does, is the man running the show and… that’s WHY he is the one running the show and why he will continue running the show until somebody, somewhere, decides to fight him. But, the way I see it… it will never happen… hence… the country is doomed because nobody actually cares enough (or has the balls?) to actually fight for it. So Zimbabweans and the world TALK while Mugabe DOES… Hence he rules…
I personally met two MP’s from the MDC some months back. The one assured me, that the MDC would be the next Govt of Zimbabwe. I quietly chuckled to myself. The MDC will *NEVER* rule Zimbabwe. Mugabe has said that – and I believe him, rather than them. Jan]
Zimbabwe’s opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has rejected any notion of a violent overthrow “Georgia-style” of President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF regime. Briefing the National Assembly’s foreign affairs committee today, MDC Secretary for Information and Publicity, Paul Themba Nyathi said the MDC was not “intent on overthrowing the Mugabe regime”. “That would not achieve our objectives of a democratic Zimbabwe. We would like to see an outcome in Zimbabwe where the people of Zimbabwe have the final say on who governs the country through a free and fair election,” he said. Free and fair elections could only come about as a result of negotiations, which would usher in a new dispensation in Zimbabwe. “And that’s what all the pressures that we exert on the regime are designed to achieve.”
The MDC realised there could not be a solution to the Zimbabwean crisis without the two major political parties getting around a table and narrowing their differences and finding some form of accommodation. Although no formal talks were currently underway between the two parties, back-stage efforts were being made to bring them together. Nyathi also referred to those questioning the MDC’s commitment to dialogue “when we embark from time to time on what we refer to as mass action”. “We don’t mind if other people accuse us of acting in bad faith; as long as those people are not South Africans. Because South Africans have a history of rolling mass action as they continued to talk on the sides… we have learnt a few of those lessons from our brothers and sisters in South Africa. (This) assisted them in promoting their struggle, and we see no reason why similar tactics cannot help us promote our own struggle,” he said.
Some South Africans saw Mugabe as a hero, “because he rails against imperialism, and so forth and so on”. They should think about the ordinary men, women and children who “go to bed hungry because of Mugabe’s policies… the hundreds and thousands of Zimbabweans who have been tortured, maimed.” “There is nothing revolutionary about torturing, being tyrannical, against your own people. These are all excuses for failed states and bad governance.” The issue in Zimbabwe was not about land, about black and white, or about revolution that “has been completed by somebody”. “The issue is about bad governance; the issue is about a party that refuses to subject itself to basic democratic processes. It’s about a party that refuses to contemplate the possibility of losing power… that considers (its role in the liberation struggle) an entitlement to perpetual rule.” Those who participated actively in the liberation struggle knew this was a distortion of the struggle. “We never fought to cling to power, we never fought to destroy our country and use our participation in the liberation struggle as an excuse for bad governance,” Nyathi said.
