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.

[Bummer for this poor guy. These black land invaders are often violent – it is quite probable that he was acting in self-defence. Now look… Poor bugger… All I can say is this: There is no white person in Zimbabwe who would kill a black person recklessly because they know the justice will then be swift and fearful. So I doubt he was negligent and stupid. He probably was defending himself. Look at what a black mob then did to the poor man. Note the farmer was of Greek descent. There are quite a few Greeks in Zimbabwe. Jan]
Harare – A white Zimbabwean farmer has been arrested and charged with murder after he shot dead a settler on his farm in the east of the country, a police spokesperson said on Wednesday.
However his lawyer has claimed the fatal shooting was an act of self defence following an attack by a group of hostile settlers.
Police spokesperson Andrew Phiri said Spiro Landos had been arrested and was under police guard at a clinic in eastern Zimbabwe, after settlers on his Riverside Farm “meted out instant justice” against the farmer after he shot one settler and wounded another.
“Mr Landos has been arrested” said Phiri. “He is facing two charges – one of murder and another of attempted murder.”
However, the farmer’s lawyer said that Landos had fired only one shot, and that he did it in self defence after he was attacked by a mob of axe and stick-wielding settlers on his farm.
“It seems a clear case of self-defence against an attack on him by people who were armed” said the lawyer, who asked not to be named.
He said his client had suffered serious injuries as a result of the attack, including two fractured forearms, a stab wound in the back and deep gashes all over his body.
The incident comes at a time of rising racial tensions in the country following last week’s high-profile brawl between prominent white opposition lawmaker, Roy Bennett, and two cabinet members during a heated parliamentary debate.
In 2000, black settlers in Zimbabwe began forcibly occupying white-owned land in a move supported by the government, which then embarked on a controversial reform programme to acquire millions of hectares of land from whites and redistribute it to blacks.
A small group of about 4 500 white farmers owned 30% of prime farmland before the government launched the programme but now fewer than 400 white farmers remain in Zimbabwe and own just three percent of the country’s land.
