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.

Mbeki & Zimbabwe"s neighbours Rally round Mugabe
[Note. I never cease to be amazed at the utter stupidity of the liberals who fail to see President Mbeki’s total and complete support for Mugabe. How thick can you be? Yet, they remain amazed at his continued support for Mugabe. Fools. How much will it take before they realise that the South African government is no different to that in Zimbabwe? Jan]
Britain’s attitude towards President Robert Mugabe’s regime was denounced as “intolerant” and “rigid” by southern African countries yesterday, reigniting the row over Zimbabwe’s withdrawal from the Commonwealth. The 12 Commonwealth members from southern Africa closed ranks behind Mr Mugabe with a statement condemning Zimbabwe’s suspension from the group. Earlier, Tony Blair angrily denied that Mr Mugabe’s regime was the victim of a racist plot. Ending Zimbabwe’s suspension would have been “inconceivable”, he said. Mr Mugabe had appealed for the “solidarity” of his neighbours and the Southern African Development Community duly rallied to his support. It blamed Zimbabwe’s withdrawal from the Commonwealth on the “dismissive, intolerant and rigid attitude” of Britain and other member states. The present situation in Zimbabwe calls for engagement by the Commonwealth and not isolation and further punishment,” it said.
Botswana is among the countries which endorsed the statement, yet it backed Zimbabwe’s continued suspension from the Commonwealth during the summit in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa is believed to be the prime mover behind the criticism of Britain. His persistence with his policy of “quiet diplomacy” towards Mr Mugabe’s regime has baffled and enraged his critics. Zimbabwe’s economy is in ruins, with inflation above 500 per cent and unemployment at 70 per cent. Hundreds of thousands of Zimbabweans have fled to South Africa and Botswana. Reporting to the Commons on the Commonwealth summit the Prime Minister strongly defended Zimbabwe’s suspension. He said it had made no effort to address international concerns and was going “backwards.” He said Mr Mugabe’s “ruinous economic policies” were “driving the country further and further into chaos.” Mr Mugabe’s regime raised the possibility of breaking all diplomatic ties with Britain. The Herald, the government daily, said: “There is no need for us to continue pretending that there is a semblance of diplomacy with Britain or its Australian appendage.” But the regime can ill afford to cut links. Britain has given the country more than (194)Â(163)£62 million in humanitarian aid since September 2001.
