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 Redfern of the Flame Lily Foundation.
This was written by someone in Marondera in Zimbabwe.
This is not far from where I grew up. It is about 30 Km from the farm we lived on. Marondera was such a lovely little town in a farming community. Both my brother and my sister lived there. My brother had a thriving engineering business serving the farming community there.
You can’t believe the hell hole that lovely little place has turned into in the past two years. On my website I have photos of that farmer, Kay who was nearly killed 2 years ago. They have tried to kill him again recently.
Unbelievable. There is more on Zimbabwe which has come through recently. That place is falling apart – and the liberal whites there are seeing the writing on the wall – they can see The End for them is near.

This shock letter from Marondera gives an idea of morale after the
election.

Hate writing these letters to everybody, but am in haste. We managed
to vote, but you have never seen so many downhearted people, blacks
and whites IN YOUR LIFE. We all feel cheated BIG TIME. This place is
going crazy. Farmers are getting beaten and chased off their farms by
the truck load. We are moving today. I have had ENOUGH. This one war
vet here is accusing us of all sorts of ridiculous things we NEVER
did, like trying to kill all the settlers. A friend in Marondera was
shut into his bedroom with his wife and they systematically (“war
vets”) trashed their whole house and then came for them. Mike fired
two shots into the bedroom ceiling to chase them away and is now up on
an attempted murder charge. I went to Marondera yesterday, had things
on at the schools there with the kids and I could hardly drink my tea
for all the shock and terror stories, like the Kayes attempted
abduction and murder YET AGAIN, from their next door neighbour’s
description, John Rutherford was beaten and his wife was made to watch
it all. Darlington, a guard on their farm probably saved John’s life,
but was killed for it. He was bludgeoned to death. NO ARRESTS have
been made. The place is totally anarchist now. John went and flashed
his butt at all the embassies, and they fell back in horror, but it
hasn’t made any changes. No one is planting a thing this year, as no
one knows where they stand with the land reform programme, we’re all
out of here according to Mugabe and the economy is tattered. It just
goes on and on with seemingly no hope. No one even knows who the
minister of agriculture or any other thing is. There’s no cabinet, no
policies, no way forward. They were so busy trying to “win” the
election, no one has given a thought to the hereafter. There’s now
ample evidence of the massive and ghastly rigging that went on. We
witnessed a fair bit, too. I heard rumours that the Zim dollar was
going to be at Z$2000 to US$1 by August………..really it’s too
unbearable. Every single person everywhere you go is suffering
terribly one way or another. It’s like a September 11th but slow and
constant. Like a massive nation-wide grief. Even with Terry Ford’s
murder, we’re all so scared that it just sort of passed with no
massive outcry like there should have been. It’s sort of a macabre
“business as usual” thing, queer to say the least. And sickening to be
a part of. None of us thought it would come to this, even under the
current government. The way forward is every man for himself which is
hugely unsettling. Those who have remained hoped against hope that
they wouldn’t need to move as they love and want to live in this
country. Only a miracle will save us now and one even expects to wake
up and hear that all the whites must leave or something like that,
it’s got so lawless.
Leon doesn’t want to leave the place like this. So we’ll leave, me
sort of semi-permanently and he’ll come back just to feed dogs and the
cat and “check” on things. They burned a farmer’s property just down
the road, 10 million worth of chemicals and fertilizers and slat
packs, etc so I reckon we should move it all, but anyway he doesn’t
want to, so that’s that. Only my furniture is in the house and carpets
and curtains now, so we’ll move that next week, if we still can. Not
sure what we’ll do for bucks!! I will find a job somewhere and finish
my course and Leon will have to think of something. Everyone’s
muddling around at the moment. At least we have massive school fees to
pay, so that’ll keep us on our toes…….
School hols shortly, so glad I have somewhere safish to hole up with
the kids and we’ll see what unfolds, we’re all playing a waiting game.
HOPE you’re all doing heaps better than us. I wish in some ways we’d
left this place years ago, but that’s all very well to say. We’ve gone
slowly downhill and should have expected to wind up here, one’s mind
says it wont get that bad!!! One doesn’t think so in year 2002, but
THIS IS AFRICA!!!
Take care and much love to you all. I’ll hopefully be in touch.
