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.

[I received this from John. It was written by Eddie Cross, who is in the MDC, the official opposition in Zimbabwe. Eddie is reporting on an incredible drive by Mugabe which is destroying Black homes on a scale – that dwarfs anything ever seen in all of Southern Africa.
It appears that Mugabe is intimidating the entire population now.
Things are happening so fast, that news reports seem to be behind as to the actually extent of what Mugabe”s military forces are doing (in Mid-Winter!).
What I can”t believe is that there is no outcry anywhere in the world, least of all here in S.Africa. Our Govt just sits by quietly (no doubt nodding their approval) as Mugabe unleashes his military forces on the poor in a way that has never been seen.
It appears to me, I must be completely mad for thinking that there should be a WAR against Mugabe – because nobody else seems to mind what this Marxist Freak is up to. Jan]
A Peoples Government?
I have just come in from visiting the squatter camps at Kilarney outside
Bulawayo. They have been there since independence in 1980 and are home to a transient population of homeless people who live in makeshift shelters. You can see how long they have been there by the trees and shrubs that have been planted.
Today there were just smoking ruins of what had been homes. The people were sitting with what they had left – a few blankets and pots and sticks.
Perhaps an item of furniture or two. We saw armed Police still at work with smoke billowing up behind them in the valley below us. A local Pastor said to us that they had threatened him when they found him talking to the people in one settlement.
There are three separate camps – all told I am informed, about 2000 men,
women and children. The site is on a barren hillside facing south and
tonight we will have sub zero temperatures and a southeast wind blowing all the way from the artic across South Africa.
Three days ago they were warned – move or else. Many started to dismantle
their meager homes, many simply ignored the threat. Today several Chinese
made military vehicles arrived with a number of armed police onboard and
these then went from settlement to settlement burning homes and ordering the people to move by tomorrow (Sunday) or face the destruction of their
personal belongings.
This community of the poorest people in the country will spend tonight out
in the open. Local Pastors said they would go in after the Police left the
area to assess needs and to ask the people what they wanted to do. 90 per
cent have nowhere to go at all.
Last week I saw a similar exercise in Dulibadzimu – a township in the Border town of Beitbridge. My estimate then was that in that exercise at least a third of the total population of the town would be rendered homeless. I personally put 5 families into my workshop until they can find an alternative. A widow I know, Mrs. Siphali, came to me and said they have destroyed my home and I have three children in local schools – one about to write O levels. “What can you do” she asked?
What makes this pogrom against the absolute poor so evil is that it is at
the worst time of the year – mid winter. There has been little warning and
no preparation of any alternative accommodation and the exercise is being
carried out nationwide – millions of people are involved. If this were not
stopped I would estimate that at least 2 million people – many of them
children – will be rendered homeless and destitute. Without access to social amenities, water and sanitation.
Many will take the only route to safety – across the Limpopo and South
Africa will have to brace itself for another influx of economic refugees
from Zimbabwe. This time however they will be desperate and will be prepared to do anything to make a bit of money and I mean anything.
