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.

UN: Food Prices Spike Beyond Reach of Average Zim Family
[Note. Don’t take the “drought” excuse too seriously. There’s little “drought” in Zimbabwe. Daily on the weather forecasts on TV we see much more rain for Zimbabwe than South Africa.
The analysis: “South Africa: Beyond Democracy” – in my photo gallery – stated clearly that AIDS would create famines because the peasants die from AIDS.
Notice too how diseases which were under control (or eradicated), under white rule, are COMING BACK!! You’ll see it all over Africa. Jan]
As drought, deaths from HIV/AIDS and a general decline decimate the Zimbabwean economy, the prices of basic foods have risen by nearly half again in the last month, putting them out of the average family’s reach, the United Nations warned today.
This spike in the prices of maize, sugar and flour comes during a period between harvests, when UN agencies expect families to be most in need of food aid, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
Agricultural production is hampered by an estimated 43 per cent HIV prevalence rate among farm workers that is killing the labour force or leaving people too sick to work. Areas under crops declined by 39 per cent in 2003, while yields dropped by almost 60 per cent.
With foreign currency to buy spare parts and purification chemicals in short supply, urban water and sewerage systems have been declining rapidly, OCHA said. This lack of safe water heightens the risk of disease.
In addition, rural water supplies are in critical condition. “There have already been serious cholera outbreaks in the Zambezi Valley, one of the poorest regions of Zimbabwe.
