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.

[I received this news item from Eric Harrison in Harare, Zimbabwe. Eric is a farmer who was run off his land. His story is told in the book Jambanja in our online shop.
It is an old African trick to simply “rent-a-crowd”. Its more like “press-gang-a-crowd”. Sometimes these massive rallies are not quite what they appear to be. But even that is not working so well any more for Mugabe! Jan]

Rally was failure for Mugabe
by: Jan Raath
It was the Million Man and Woman March, meant to show the support that President Mugabe commands, replicating the vast throng that welcomed him in 1980 when he returned to an independent Zimbabwe at the end of a civil war.
This time, instead of the crowds that spontaneously spilled on to the streets, the Government commandeered the railway service, seized vehicles and rounded up supporters of the Zanu (PF) party to pack the streets and football stadium of Harare yesterday in support of Mr Mugabe's candidature for the presidential election. By the time that Mr Mugabe, in an African print shirt bearing his own face, arrived at the rally that was intended as a stern message to members of his own party who had planned to replace him in a congress next week, only 20,000 had been assembled.
It was a small fraction of the sea of faces that greeted his return in 1980 and fewer than Morgan Tsvangirai, the opposition leader, assembles on the rare occasion that he is allowed to hold a rally. “I think there are many more people queuing at the banks in town for cash,” Willard Dhlalo, a bystander, said.
