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.

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn spoke by telephone with South African Finance Minister Trevor Manuel today to discuss “how to resume relations” with Zimbabwe and help revive the economy after a decade of recession. The IMF will continue talks with Manuel next week at an IMF conference in Tanzania, Strauss-Kahn told reporters in Johannesburg via a video link from Washington. The fund is also preparing to send a team to Zimbabwe, Antoinette Sayeh, head of the lender's Africa department, said at the press conference. Zimbabwean Finance Minister Tendai Biti met with his regional counterparts in Cape Town last month, where he requested $2 billion in aid over the next 10 months to address a humanitarian crisis and revive the economy.
Zimbabwe has the world's highest inflation rate, estimated at 231 million percent, while more than half the population is in need of food aid, according to the United Nations. The southern African nation still has outstanding debt to some donor countries and financial institutions that will have to be repaid before new aid can be released, Sayeh said. “We have a mission going out to Zimbabwe to take stock of the situation, to discuss with the new authorities their policy ambitions and reform agenda, to be able to assess whether the international community can then come in and support,” she said. The African Development Bank said on Feb. 26 that Zimbabwe owes it $460 million, which must be repaid before it can resume lending. The IMF estimates Zimbabwe's arrears to the fund are $130 million.
