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.

Zimbabwe’s opposition leader on Thursday called for South African President Thabo Mbeki to be “relieved of his duties” as mediator in Zimbabwe after last month’s elections.
“We want to thank President Mbeki for all of his efforts but President Mbeki needs to be relieved of his duties,” Morgan Tsvangirai said in Johannesburg.
Tsvangirai said that he had made a request to Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa, the current chair person of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), to begin a new mediation effort.
“I made a specific request to President Mwanawasa to say he needs to lead a new initiative, an initiative that will expand beyond that of Mr Mbeki.”
Tsvangirai’s comments come after Mbeki said at the weekend that he saw “no crisis” in Zimbabwe where there have still been no results from presidential elections held on March 29.
Mbeki has been widely taken to task for his failure to publicly criticise his northern neighbour under a policy known as quiet diplomacy.
Even his own ruling African National Congress (ANC) party has described the situation in Zimbabwe, where inflation is running at over 165 000 percent, as dire.
In a press conference, Tsvangirai reiterated his conviction that he had won the election without any need for a second round run-off against Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.
“The regime is conditioning people to believe there’s a run-off. There’s no run-off because we won this election decisively,” he said.
Tsvangirai also accused Mugabe supporters of being behind a wave of violent attacks against opposition followers.
“As I speak, our people are being murdered, homes burned, children molested, women raped,” said the leader of the Movement for Democratic Change. – Sapa-AFP
