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.

Our deepest sympathies to Peter, Mark, Richard and their families on their loss.
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that shell come back
or you can open your eyes and see all shes left.
Your heart can be empty because you cant see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that shes gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what shed want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Rest in Peace Anne.

“Graca Machel, the wife of Nelson Mandela, on Wednesday described Zimbabwe’s government as illegitimate and said regional leaders had allowed hundreds of thousands of people to die needlessly in the African nation.
Zimbabwe
is facing a humanitarian catastrophe as President Robert Mugabe and the opposition bicker over a stalled power-sharing deal. Rights groups say scores of opposition activists have been murdered, tortured and beaten. “Any government that goes out and assaults its people, its citizens, it has lost completely any kind of legitimacy,” Machel said at a news conference where Zimbabwean activists launched a hunger strike to pressure Mugabe and the SADC regional body.“If Mugabe deigns to respond, he will label Machel as under the influence of the West with her being a member of “The Elders” – among that number, the former President of the USA, and a huge supporter of the Mugabe rise to prominence, Jimmy Carter.
The fact that Machel is the widow of Samora Machel, another revolutionary who assisted Mugabe in his liberation war against the Rhodesians in the 1970s, will escape Mugabe’s attention. The fact that Machel is the current wife of former South African President, Nelson Mandela, who at one stage or another, was Mugabe’s hero…
“Asked if the veteran Zimbabwean ruler, in power since independence in 1980, should step down, Machel said: “The people of Zimbabwe have already said so … the ballot has spoken.” The Mozambican-born Machel joined a growing list of prominent Africans who in the past year have criticised Mugabe’s authoritarian rule or called for the removal of his government. Mugabe lost the first round of a presidential election last year to MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai, but he won the second round overwhelmingly after Tsvangirai pulled out of the race, citing violence against his supporters.“
Mugabe no longer who says what and just digs in deeper. Criticism means very little, and, to a certain extent, spurs him on…
“We have to accept the economy has been ‘dollarised’ and all companies should be registered to trade in hard currency,” Obert Sibanda, president of the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce, told the state-run The Herald newspaper on 19 January.
Dollarisation, or the use of a foreign currency – not necessarily the US dollar – in parallel to, or instead of, the domestic currency, has long been a daily reality for most Zimbabweans. Record-breaking inflation has made them reluctant to accept the local currency, preferring either to trade in a more stable currency, or to barter.
“When you consider that I managed to lay my hands on some Zimbabwean currency about 4 months ago, and when they ceased to be legal tender (a magistrate in Karoi ruled that Zimbabwean bearer cheques were not legal tender), I laminated them and we use them for bookmarks.
By laminating them, we increased the value by quite a bit.
Perhaps the strangest thing is the Zimbabwean 50 cent bearer cheque…

“The US dollar and South African rand are in use across the country, while Botswana‘s pula is favoured in Bulawayo and the west of the country, the Zambian Kwacha is used in the northern areas, and the Mozambican metical in Mutare and the country’s eastern regions.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) had already endorsed semi-official dollarisation in September 2008 by introducing ‘Foreign Exchange Licensed Warehouses and Shops’ when some 1,000 retail outlets and 250 wholesalers were permitted to trade in foreign currency.
In a statement released earlier in January 2009, the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) demanded that “all workers should be paid in foreign currency, given the fact that shops are now selling their goods in foreign currency – even those that have not been licensed to do so.“
Obviously, Mugabe can pull the rug out under the feet of the Zimbabwean people by issuing edicts as and when he wishes. How sad that a country that used to have an enviable economy has nothing worth talking about – all because of one man…
Chinamasa is adamant President Robert Mugabe has no obligation to consult Tsvangirai before appointing persons to occupy key government positions.
He contends the MDC leader is only a political office holder who is not yet in government.
ZANU PF wants a new government to be in place with outstanding issues being dealt with later while the MDC says it cannot proceed with the formation of an all inclusive government if the outstanding issues have not been clarified and consistent.“
I am not impressed. Mugabe is only President because of the reign of terror he visited upon the people of Zimbabwe. Chimnamasa is only anything in government because Mugabe chose to save him – and he dismisses the MDC?
“The MDC wants an equitable distribution of ministerial portfolios, the enactment of a law establishing the National Security Council, the appointment of governors and other senior appointments, among some of its demands, before a new government is put in place.
The MDC also want ZANU PF to reverse everything which it says is in violation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on July 21 and the Global Political Agreement signed between the parties on September 15, 2008.
Chinamasa, who was evidently irked by the MDCs constant reference to Mugabe as President-Designate, says the MDCs demands are unacceptable.
“Tsvangirai refers to the President as the President-designate, in consultation with the Prime-Minister designate, shall agree on the appointment of a new Reserve Bank governor of Zimbabwe by the 24th of January 2009. That is his new demand,” Chinamasa said to journalists at a press conference held in Harare on Wednesday.
“The President has no obligation to consult a political office holder, whether ZANU PF or MDC, he has no legal obligation.
“He only has a legal obligation to act in accordance with the constitution (of Zimbabwe) and only after (Constitutional) Amendment Number 19 is enacted into law would he be required to consult the Prime Minister if, and when that office is filled up after the enactment.“
And therein lies the problem – and why Mugabe has baulked on the passing of Amendment 19 – becuase once that becomes law, the Mugabe cannot claim to be constitutionally bound to establish a shared government.
Nothing like rearranging the political environment to suit himself – and receive little or no criticism en route.
“Chinamasa also defended Mugabes unilateral re-appointment of one of his key allies, Gideon Gono, as central bank governor.
“We are wilting under sanctions and the Reserve Bank governor has been in the forefront in our anti-sanctions fight,” said Chinamasa.
“There is no way a vacuum would have occurred in the office of the Reserve Bank governor. He correctly appointed him for his second and final term.
“Tsvangirai would be happier if there is a vacuum in the office of Attorney General,” Chinamasa said in reference to the MDCs complaint over the appointment of Johannes Tomana.“
Hot air. It’s all just hot air…
The eight corrupt ZANU PF legislators, who are close allies of president Robert Mugabe, were working together with some farmers and members of the public to swindle large quantities of the ammonium nitrate, Compound D and maize seed.
The inputs were brought into the country recently but unfortunately fell in wrong hands of ZANU PF members in influential positions.
Late last year, South Africa handed over R300 million aid to Zimbabwe to bail out Zimbabwes crippled agriculture sector.“
This is the problem with ‘aid’ into Zimbabwe. Mugabe insists that it is filtered through his government – and very lille actually arrives at its intended destination. And Mugabe very rarely, if ever, prosecutes his own.
“The MDC chided South Africa for disbursing the aid to the ZANU PF government before the finalisation of the peace deal.
The revelations are a confirmation of how unscrupulous ZANU PF members are abusing the South Africas R300 million agriculture aid.“
And Mugabe is scathing about aid being withheld by organisations and countries – only because with that withholding, he sees his own personal enrichment going out the window.
When, one day, the free world looks at prosecutions, I sincerely hope and wish that Mugabe’s name is near the top of the list.
“Mugabes henchman, Brigadier General Douglas Nyikayaramba, handles the inputs that were sourced by South Africa.
Nyikayarambas inputs committee has denied to name-and-shame the ZANU PF thieves but sources in Parliament have promised to let the cat out of the bag.
“However the other implicated ZANU PF supporters are Shingirai Mawere, Simon Machiri, Simbarashe Benhura, Paddington Mutasa and two Malawians John Phiri and Liaka Musa.
The other fraudsters are two Malawians who acquired 30 tonnes of Urea Fertilizer and 160 litres of diesel under unclear circumstances.“
Anything that includes ZANU PF is questionable.
“During the ZANU PF conference in December, party members stole nine beasts, mealie-meal and other foodstuffs, as thuggery in the regime reared its ugly head.“
Again – no prosecutions.
