Zim State Media inciting Rwanda-like Genocide Hatred

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.

Zim State Media inciting Rwanda-like Genocide Hatred

[Note. Now here’s something interesting… inciting race hatred and uttering the word “war” continuously… I’ve said from the beginning… to Mugabe this is a war… the “final war”… the Race war… Trying to incite blacks to violence and then he merely sits back, holds up his hands and claims “I didn’t tell them to do it… they did it of their own accord because of their pent-up emotions…”

I see that South African newspapers repeated President Mbeki’s maniac statements that Mugabe could teach US how to solve our problems!! The mind boggles… Its great that our president comes out and speaks his mind from time to time… So sad that most people just don’t want to see the message clearly. Mugabe and Mbeki hate the whites… and they’re coming to get us!!! Genocide is coming our way… just give it some time… Jan]

Zimbabwe’s state-run media are whipping up hatred and violence in a way that echoes Rwanda radio in the genocide there, according to a report. The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation and the Herald daily had been accomplices in œthe theft of a nation™s democratic rights and œaccomplices to murder over the past three years, the report said. As in Rwanda in 1994, when Libre des Milles Collines radio – known as œRadio Machete – beamed anti-Tutsi propaganda, journalists in the state media had œabandoned the most elementary standards of truthfulness to create stories that œseemed calculated to incite a violent response to the Government™s opponents, according to the report by the local Media Monitoring Project. œNo longer is it adequate to say they are politically biased, it added. The 203-page report is the first to dissect the controlled campaign of incitement to violence that has successfully instilled a climate of œfear and panic to buttress President Mugabe™s dictatorship. At least every half hour, state radio broadcasts a jingle urging Zimbabweans to adopt œliberation values and repeats the word œwar five times.

The state media had made no attempt to report reality. Their aim was to œfire up a hard core of ruling party militants against the opposition, as Radio Machete mobilised a relatively small group of Hutus to genocide, the report said. This month the International Criminal Court for Rwanda, sitting in Arusha, Tanzania, passed life sentences on two of the station™s journalists and a 35-year sentence on another. It was the first time since the Nuremberg trials that journalists had been convicted of crimes against humanity. œThe Zimbabwean echo is so uncanny, it would hardly be surprising to find a copy of the (Radio Machete) manual on Jonathan Moyo™s (the Information Minister) bookshelf, the report said. œWhen, one day, the perpetrators of violence are held to account, those who incited them with (152)˜hate speech™ should not be forgotten. The media issued a barrage of reports and commentaries that hammer out the myth of a British conspiracy to overthrow Mr Mugabe and return the country to white rule.
