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: Women injured & arrested by Riot Police
Harare – At least five women were injured and 10 arrested when Zimbabwe police broke up a demonstration against food shortages in the second largest city, Bulawayo, an activist claimed on Wednesday. Magodonga Mahlangu of Women of Zimbabwe Arise (Woza) said from the southwestern city that riot police arrested them after they marched through the city making “a lot of noise, beating pots and waving placards”. The demonstration, which she said had the support of around 200 women, had been called to protest against “high prices of food and shortages that are leading us into starvation”, according to a Woza statement. Perpetua Dube, a lawyer for the women’s group, confirmed the arrests. She said the women were “being held at various police stations” around Bulawayo. But police denied that there had been any demonstrations in Bulawayo. “It’s a lie. There were no demonstrations,” police spokesperson Smile Dube said.
Zimbabwe is in the grip of severe food shortages threatening around half of the country’s 11.6 million people. Even people with jobs struggle to make ends meet with hyper-inflation, currently at more than 500%, eroding wages. In October Bulawayo health officials reported that 43 people, mostly children, had died of malnutrition in the city in the previous two months. Mahlangu said on Wednesday the demonstrators had been able to march for around 5km to central Bulawayo before three truckloads of riot police broke up the demonstration. “I’ve got five injured (protesters) who were beaten by the riot police,” she said. The march by the women comes around two weeks after the country’s main labour body called for countrywide street demonstrations to protest high taxes and economic hardships. More than 100 activists, including labour leaders, were arrested during those demonstrations, which were also broken up by police.
