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.

Three journalists flee Zimbabwe
|
[Democracy… at its finest. Jan] Cape Town: Veteran foreign correspondent Jan Raath fled Zimbabwe on Thursday after hearing that police were planning to arrest him. He was the third journalist to flee the country in a week. The Associated Press’s Angus Shaw left the country via Zambia just after Raath. Brian Latham fled across the SA border earlier in the week. Raath, a stringer for the German Press Agency DPA and the Times of London, shared an office in Harare with Latham, Shaw and local photographer Tsvangirai Mukwazhi. The office was raided three times on Monday and Tuesday “under the pretext of allegations of espionage, working illegally, using illegal satellite communication systems and externalising foreign currency”, Raath said yesterday. “I decided to leave… because I feared for my liberty,” said Raath, who drove his car over the Botswana border and into South Africa. He had no immediate plans to go back before the election on March 31 and was “on vacation until further notice from my editors”. Raath said that the rights of journalists were infringed by the Public Order and Security Act, which prohibited the distribution of information that was “prejudicial to the security of the state”. “If an allegation does not stick, they come up with another. They try to nail you,” he said. Raath fled because his lawyer told him that he could be Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s dismissal of former information minister Jonathan Moyo on Saturday would have had little effect on the fate of foreign journalists. “Moyo managed to set up an Orwellian system of repression of information. It will go on,” said Raath. Moyo was fired for registering as an independent candidate in the election. q Meanwhile, Sapa-AFP reports that Zimbabwe’s main opposition launched its election campaign yesterday, promising to build “a new Zimbabwe” and urging supporters to end the “battering” from Mugabe’s rule. The Movement for Democratic Change, which made an 11th-hour decision to contest the elections, drew thousands of supporters at a rally in Masvingo, south of Harare. MDC leader Morgan Tsvan-girai outlined a list of pledges, including a repeal of repressive security and media laws and agricultural reforms. Source: The Mercury |
