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.

At the same time, Mugabe has recommitted his ZANU (PF) government to
re-instituting “a Marxist Leninist transformation” and “a return to
socialism.” (The Times, 16/10/2001).
Mugabe’s strict price controls on bread are forcing bakeries to shut down.
“It will be cheaper to close than continue to produce bread at these
losses” said one baker. At least 10 000 people stand to lose their jobs
as the 3 main bakeries are forced to close. Zimbabwe is reeling with an
official 60% unemployment, 70% inflation and an acute shortage of foreign
currency.
About 60 tourism companies in Zimbabwe have closed down this year alone,
throwing many hundreds more people out of work. Over 700 other firms have
closed in bankruptcy (Daily Telegraph, 16/10/2001).
Many Zimbabwean schools have closed down in the wake of a new wave of
violence by war veterans and ZANU (PF) militants. Scores of teachers have
been assaulted and classes disrupted by ZANU thugs.
“He can call it socialism, but we know it will be shortages and long
queues. Last week we could not afford bread. This week we cannot get
bread!” declared one Zimbabwean (The Guardian, 16/10/2001).
The relentless violence, intimidation and lawlessness of the
state-sponsored anarchy in Zimbabwe have destroyed the once-thriving
agricultural sector. Farm invasions, business invasions and factory
take-overs by Marxist mobs urged on by President Mugabe have shattered
investor confidence and ended the once flourishing tourism industry.
Reportedly Zimbabwe’s foreign debt stands at US$475 billion and domestic
debt at US$200 billion (Daily News, 18/10/2001). About 3 million people
are reported to be facing starvation in this country, which was once
self-sufficient and a food exporter.
