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.

[Isn’t it funny. The lying Marxist, Robert Mugabe kept whining about how white farmers were stealing the wealth of the country and exploiting the downtrodden. Funny, now that he’s kicking them off the land the entire country is imploding, chaos is erupting and the country is going, in one bold move right into the Dark Ages. Maybe those white scum actually contributed more than he would ever care to admit? Jan Lamprecht]
Zimbabwe Disintegrates – 2 Million Face Starvation In 2-3 Weeks
From Cathy Buckle
Dear Family and Friends,
Less than 3 years ago Zimbabwe was a major regional exporter of food but
in January 2002 we are begging international donors for US$100 million of
urgent food aid. This is needed to feed an estimated 2 million Zimbabweans
who experts say will face starvation within the next three weeks. After
almost 2 years of the most extreme policies, harassment, intimidation and
murder of our country’s farmers and workers, we have now run out of food.
There are no reserves of the staple maize meal left and 95% of our
commercial farms have been gazetted for state seizure.
The Zimbabwe government this week began publishing the names of people who
have been allocated plots of land on the newly seized farms. By yesterday,
over 5000 names had been listed and less than 20 of those people have been
given Large Scale plots. Most have been given barely enough land on which
to support themselves let alone grow a surplus to feed 13 million people.
Included in these first lists of people whom we are told are “landless
peasants” are the Mayor of the City of Chitungwiza; the Deputy Minister of
Transport; the MP’s of Mutoko, Buhera and Hurungwe. Also benefitting are a
number of journalists from the state run Herald newspaper including the
Deputy Editor, the Business Editor, the Features Editor and the Health
Reporter.
I stood dumfounded in a Marondera supermarket yesterday morning looking at
a bag of 4 apples priced at Z$320. I could not afford to buy them and
chose instead an Z$80 weekly newspaper whose front page story is of the
latest government pay rises. All Zimbabwe’s uniformed forces have been
awarded a 100% pay rise effective from the 1st of January. This includes
police, army, air force, prison service workers and war veterans (the
latter now fall under the Ministry of Defence).
Stringing a few facts together paints a bleak but blatantly obvious
picture of a government willing to do anything to stay in power, a
government who does not care about her people: Presidential elections are
due in 8-10 weeks time; 95% of farms have been re-allocated to “landless
peasants”; uniformed forces and war veterans are awarded a 100% pay rise;
2 million people are less than a month away from starvation; citizenship
laws have been changed; 300 000 farm workers are about to be jobless and
destitute; electoral and media laws are about to be changed; 5 Judges have
left the benches in the last eight months; 100 000 people have been
displaced internally because of violence; 90 people have been murdered for
their political beliefs.
It is an abysmal situation and we are completely powerless to do anything
about it. We cannot turn to the police or army. We cannot look to the
courts. We cannot petition our MP’s. Next week when when the new Public
Order and Security Bill passes through parliament we will not even be able
to speak out any longer. We cannot look to our regional neighbours for
assistance because they have decided that it is not politically correct to
condemn a dictator. Even when the currencies of massively powerful
countries like South Africa have dropped to lowest ever levels because of
the crisis in Zimbabwe, their leaders continue to pussy foot around for
fear of being labelled racists or colonialists. I can only say God Help
us.
This week two farm workers were beaten to death in Wedza by militant farm
invaders. I have been unable to get their names but grieve with their
family and friends. I hope that next week I will still be legally allowed
to write this letter but am not optimistic. As always, my thanks for your
support and encouragement.
With love,
Cathy.
