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 – Former finance minister Simba Makoni pledged to heal the wounds of Zimbabwe on Wednesday as he unveiled his manifesto for next month’s election battle against veteran President Robert Mugabe.
“Our manifesto begins by characterising the Zimbabwe of today. It is a nation full of fear, a nation in deep stress, a tense and polarised nation, a nation also characterised by disease and extreme poverty,” Makoni said in Harare.
“However we believe that solving these problems will not be intractable, once we remove these barriers and impediments that bar the expression and pursuit of our common interest and common purpose.”
Makoni, who has been kicked out of Mugabe’s ruling Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF), is standing as an independent in the joint presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for March 29.

At the launch of the manifesto, Makoni urged other members of the ruling party to join him in the quest to prevent the 83-year-old Mugabe to win a sixth term in office.
“I particularly invite those compatriots who have been pushed into despair and despondency, but have the qualities of leadership to please enter the race.
“I also invite those in Zanu-PF who… share our yearning for renewal to contest the election as independent candidates under our banner,” said Makoni whose logo features a rising sun.
“The time for decision has come. Jump off the fence, climb out of the false comfort zones.”
The elections are taking place against a backdrop of an economic meltdown in Zimbabwe which has an official inflation rate of more than 26,000 percent, the highest in the world. Unemployment also stands at around 80 percent.

As well as Makoni, veteran opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai is hoping to unseat Mugabe as leader of the former British colony of Rhodesia.
