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.

Harare – Zimbabwean opposition officials and supporters arrested on public violence charges were freed on bail on Tuesday by a court which ordered an investigation into complaints the detainees were assaulted by police.
Nine members of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), including two legislators, who had been in police custody since Friday were charged with public violence after clashes with police.
Police said the group tried to embark on an illegal march in central Harare. When they were stopped, authorities said they attacked police, seriously injuring one officer.
Defence lawyer Alec Muchadehama said his clients denied the charges.
Harare magistrate Brighton Pabwe released the nine on bail and ordered an investigation into a defence lawyer’s charges that three of his clients had been assaulted by police while in detention and denied food.
One of the opposition supporters appeared in court with a blood-stained shirt.
On Sunday, heavily-armed riot squads prevented the MDC from holding a rally in Highfield township, despite the opposition party having obtained a court order to go ahead. Police arrested 40 MDC members after clashes with the opposition supporters, who are yet to appear in court.
State media has suggested the authorities feared that the MDC wanted to use the aborted rally to launch a wave of protests against President Robert Mugabe’s government.
Tensions have been mounting in recent months over Zimbabwe’s deteriorating economy and skyrocketing cost of living, prompting some workers, including doctors and teachers, to embark on wage strikes as inflation tops 1 600 percent.
