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.

Zimbabwe shrugs off "famine warning" from USA
|
Harare – The government denied Zimbabwe faces a hunger crisis and accused a United States famine warning unit of exaggerating food shortages to cause panic. On Friday a report by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, a food security monitoring group funded by the US, said 5,8 million people in the country of 12,5 million will need food aid to avert starvation before the next harvests in April. Agriculture Minister Joseph Made said the United States was stepping up efforts to destabilise Zimbabwe ahead of parliamentary polls in March by causing alarm over food stocks. He said about 370 million kilograms of grain was now being distributed by the state Grain Marketing Board to needy groups around the country and another 400 million kilograms were being held as strategic food reserves. Some food – he called it carry-over stocks ordered in 2003 – was also being imported. The government insists Zimbabwe produced a bumper harvest of 2,4 billion kilograms of mostly the corn staple last year, much of it still being held in private rural granaries by growers. The country consumes about 1,8 billion kilograms of corn a year, or 5 million kilograms a day. Independent crop estimates have cast doubt over the government’s harvest figure, saying about Made said the famine unit report was part of a campaign by the United States to vilify the government’s land reform program in which some He described the program as “a resounding success” despite shortages of farm equipment, gasoline, seed and fertiliser. The government has repeatedly accused Britain, the former colonial power, and the Unites States of campaigning for “regime change” and the ouster of President Robert Mugabe. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice earlier this month described Zimbabwe as one the world’s last “outposts of tyranny.” Zimbabwe is suffering its worst economic and political crisis since Mugabe led the nation to independence 1980.
