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 enjoyed Kwanele’s analysis. I am especially interested in the statement that the MILITARY has urged Mugabe to hang in there. Tick tock… tick tock… the clock is ticking towards the Zimbabwe Civil War and Genocide II. Jan]
THE ZIMBABWE SITUATION
This is an update Editorial about the situation in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is currently in a precarious situation and is hanging exremely dangerously to the so much undesired civil unrest. The people os Zimbabwe have given it their all in trying to usher in change through exercosing their democratic right, the use of the ballot box.
March the 29th is a day that was supposedly supposed to mark the beggining of a new chapter in Zimbabwe, but the current ruling party, ZANU PF will not take it lying down, After four long days of silence, they have emerged and immediately promised a fierce fight in the run-off.
As predicted by many, the unleashing of the security forces began yesterday evening as the offices of the MDC were ransacked and two foreign journalist arrested for reporting within the borders of Zimbabwe without proper accreditation.
The voting process itself on Saturday the 29th went on smoothly despite the fact that the playing field had never been level despite the MDc’s efforts to involve South Africa and SADC in negotiating to a level playing field. The Secretary General of the MDC said the only thing achieved by the negotiations they held with SADC was to have the election results posted in public in all polling stations.
This was meant to deter and reduce tremendously the chances rigging and or “cooking up figures” by the ruling party as the results would have been in the public domain. The ruling party has conceded defeat in the parliamentary elections but is ratcheting up and cranking its security forces for the second round to be held in three weeks.
It appears certain that the ruling will seek to remain in power at all costs humanly possible. I received an email from someone based in Johannesburg stating that “Mugabe my go on a killing rampage in a way that has never been seen before”. Personally, I am not too sure about that, ofcourse he is capable and certainly has the resources at his disposal to execute a mission of that nature, but my feeling is he wouls like to cause unrest in order that he may declare a state of emergency in the next 21 days that will then keep him in office for a further 90 days.
David Coltart, re-elected Senator on Saturday, arrived in London this morning and has expressed deep concern about the situation in Zimbabwe too. He has said that the current regime has never been this vulnerable before and they are in shock, but they are known to be advocates of violence and it is worrying and very sad for the government to hold on to power against the will of the people of Zimbabwe.
Currently as I type this email, ZANU PF is behind closed doors in their elitist politburo who will decide on the way forward and endorse any action to be taken in the near future. As we understand it, the security forces have urged Mugabe to hang on to power. It is quite interesting to note that it is not just Mugabe who is scared of relinquishing power, but his top officials too. We understand they are seeking guarantees from the MDC to retain the ill-gotten riches and immunity to obvious charges of gross human rights abuse.
Mugabe, the boy who grew up a loner, is truely a fighter, but the problem is most fighters fail to realise that their game is up until they totally embarass themselves in the ring. There are always tell tell signs that one is losing it, but they have always failed to accept the fact that their game is over to save their faces in good time.
