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.

WashPost Front-Pages Mugabe Violence Yet Doesn’t Call Him a Dictator
Posted by Ken Shepherd on March 17, 2007 – 14:17.
On the one hand, I have to give the Washington Post credit for frontpaging today’s story on longtime Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe’s campaign of police thuggery against opposition leaders.
Yet when I looked through the article, I found no mention that Mugabe is a socialist or leftist, nor was he labeled a dictator.
In fact, the only dictator reference came in a graph that noted that the latest high-profile victim of Mugabe’s violence, opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, has himself been accused by political rivals of having “dictatorial tendencies.”

It’s great that the Post is now bringing Zimbabwe’s long, slow slide into economic ruin and political upheaval to the fore with its latest coverage.
But could it hurt to educate readers a bit about why the economy there has tanked?
Socialistic economic policies coupled with no rule of law and no free and fair elections are the perfect cocktail for Zimbabwean chaos anywhere.
It’s a shame the Post doesn’t delve into the role that despotism and discredited Marxist economics has played in the political and human tragedy that is Zimbabwe.
UPDATE/clarification (16:40 EDT): There is a graph in the article that mentions the seizure of farms owned by white property owners, and that the economy has tanked since then. But that policy as part and parcel of a long-standing tradition of socialism is not really explored, nor is it labeled socialistic in nature.
