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.

THE WIDELY condemned clean up campaign engineered by the government in the first half of last year is estimated to have caused property losses of about US$66 million (about $6 trillion at the ruling exchange rate), The Property Gazette can reveal.
In a report authored by ActionAid in collaboration with other local Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), the document noted that the figure could actually be in excess of US$66 million if legal issues were taken into consideration.
“When the losses are seen in the context of the legal issues, then it seems clear that a very significant majority of those affected by Operation Murambatsvina have prima facie rights to redress and compensation, as was stated by the United Nations Special Envoy,” reads part of the report titled An In-Depth Study On The Impact Of Operation Murambatsvina In Zimbabwe, The Traumatic Consequences Of Operation Murambatsvina.
“If however, the estimate is based on the population and assuming that at least two persons were economically active in each household, then the estimated losses are much higher.
“The losses are consequent on illegal actions by the Zimbabwe government if it can be established that those affected had rights to their property and rights to be carrying out their business.
However, these rights may be lost through prescription of time and this would add further injury to an already injurious situation,” it said.
At least 700 000 families were rendered homeless after the government demolished illegal structures in Harare and other towns and cities.
The authors of the latest report on the exercise interviewed residents of Harare, Bulawayo and Mutare specifically on areas of trauma, HIV/AIDS, legal issues and losses.
A structured questionnaire was used in the collection of data from 1 195 respondents distributed in 58 affected high-density wards in the 3 urban centers.
