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.

Tokyo – Foreign ministers from the Group of Eight major economies called on Thursday for the swift release of the results of Zimbabwe’s disputed presidential polls, condemning recent violence there.
The ministers from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States urged “a speedy, credible and genuinely democratic resolution to this situation in accordance with the wishes of the Zimbabwean people.”
In a joint statement issued by Japan, the current chairperson of the G8, the ministers called for the result of the presidential election “to be released expeditiously and in accordance with the due process of law.”
“Violence and intimidation must have no place in this process,” they added.

Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai says he beat 84-year-old President Robert Mugabe outright in Zimbabwe’s March 29 presidential poll, but the ruling party says neither won a clear victory and insists a run-off will be needed.
The G8 ministers expressed “deep concern” that the official results have not yet been released and said any verification of the vote should be done in the presence of all the candidates or their representatives.
Mugabe’s security forces have clamped down hard on recent unrest in Zimbabwe, arresting dozens of opposition supporters. Local doctors have reported treating more than 150 victims of post-election political beatings.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday called for international observers to monitor any second round of the contested polls.
Tsvangirai had previously ruled out his participation in a second ballot, but indicated this week that he would compete if international observers were allowed to monitor it. – Sapa-AFP
