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.

Zimbabweans Brace for Mugabe"s Fury
ZIMBABWEANS should brace for intensified repression in the wake of President Robert Mugabe’s exclusion from the Commonwealth meeting in Nigeria later this week, a political analyst has warned.
Professor Brian Raftopolous, of the University of Zimbabwe’s Institute for Development Studies, said Mugabe would be vengeful after the snub.
“In the short to medium term, I see him hardening his stance and stepping up repression in a bid to consolidate his position.
“He is very disappointed with his exclusion from the Commonwealth and that his African allies have not protested.”
Zimbabwe has been suspended from the group of former British colonies since March last year following a presidential election marred by violence, intimidation and electoral flaws.
A truculent Mugabe has threatened to pull his country out of the 54-state organisation altogether. “If our sovereignty is what we have to lose to be re-admitted into the Commonwealth, well, we will say goodbye to the Commonwealth, ” he said.
In reaction to Mugabe’s comments, Zimbabwe’s National Constitutional Assembly chairman and civic activist Lovemore Madhuku said: “It’s a dangerous development. If he withdraws from the Commonwealth he will attack his opponents while resisting being held accountable.”
