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.

Sources said the invaders moved onto the farm, which is next to the plot of the late senator for Gweru-Chirumanzi constituency My Patrick Kombayi on Saturday.“
I have a simple query. When ZANU PF invade farms in Zimbabwe, there is barely a flicker of any interest in The Herald, but with the idea that the MDC is involved, they couldn’t wait to start writing about it. Why do The Herald writers cherry-pick the stories they want, in an attempt to make the MDC look bad?
“The three committees are allegedly made up of war veterans, the other by MDC-T members and the third committee by members of the Job Sikhala-led MDC 99, the source said.
“People were made to register their names first with a group of their choice so that they could benefit according to their party affiliation,” said the source.
The source said the farm had been lying idle for the past 10 years since its previous owner, a white commercial farmer left Zimbabwe.
He added that the late Mr Kombayi was reportedly in the process of acquiring the farm at the time of his death; hence most invaders were members of the two MDC formations.
“The supporters of the two MDC formations have invaded the farm arguing that it belonged to them since Senator Kombayi was in the process of buying the property when he died.
“They are saying they cannot let the farm remain idle when they have no land,” said the source.“
And therein lies the difference. The MDC (allegedly) invade an abandoned farm, and it makes the ‘news’ – but when ZANU PF invades a farm that is occupied and productive, not a word is published.

In a rare interview with Reuters News Agency on Thursday at his official Zimbabwe House offices, President Mugabe said he has died “many times… but nobody has ever talked about my resurrection”.
“I don’t know how many times I die but nobody has ever talked about my resurrection,” he said at the end of an hour-long interview.
“I suppose they don’t want to, because it would mean they would mention my resurrection several times and that would be quite divine, an achievement for an individual who is not divine.
“Jesus died once, and resurrected only once, and poor Mugabe several times,” he said, clapping his hands loudly, laughing and rocking in his chair.
President Mugabe laughed off suggestions that he was dying of cancer and had recently suffered a stroke, saying, “I’m fit as a fiddle!”The president appeared fit and lively and said only God could decide issues of life and death.
“The utterings of someone who is disconnected from reality. How can the President (subject to some investigation yet to be carried out) of a country claim to have a divine life and be comparable to Jesus Christ?
Right now there is much alarm and despondency about a church in the USA that wants to hold a burning of the Koran… is Mugabe’s claim that he is the same as Jesus Christ – the cornerstone of many religions throughout the world – not as insulting, if not moreso?
“My time will come, but for now, ‘no’. I am still fit enough to fight the sanctions and knock out (my opponents),” he said in reference to illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe.
“It is Bush who is out, Blair out, and the others are persons of no consequence any more. They are inheritors of a situation,” he said in an interview in which he called for improved relations between Zimbabwe and Western powers.
“These (Bush and Blair) were the major arch enemies, they are the ones who brought this on us.“
Mugabe went on to state that he wanted to renew ties with the West, although it is he that has reneged on deals and alliances in the past.
Air Zimbabwe must be operating at a loss – especially if Mugabe continues with his penchant for commandeering aircraft as he sees fit to transport him all over the world. I don’t think that ZANU PF have paid Air Zimbabwe anything as the Mugabe party is allegedly broke. Not only that, but when he commandeers an aircraft, the paying passengers are left to make their own plans to travel.
Does Air Zimbabwe refund the price of the air fares?
“Air Zimbabwe flies internally as well as to several regional destinations. Its most lucrative route is to the United Kingdom's Gatwick Airport as Air Zimbabwe's flights are cheaper than other airlines which all now fly to London via Johannesburg. Air Zimbabwe is the only direct flight from Harare to London.
Its far East route is not as popular as President Robert Mugabe would have liked, according to regular passengers on the route to Shanghai via Singapore and Dubai.
Mr Mugabe announced Zimbabwe's Look East policy seven years ago because of European Union and United States sanctions policy against himself and about 200 of his top colleagues in the ZANU PF political party, and about 30 companies associated with the party.“
And now we have read how Mugabe wants to ‘renew’ ties with the West…
“There is normal trade between the US and EU and Zimbabwe, but several top businessmen say the sanctions still hurt some Zimbabwe companies. Air Zimbabwe has aging aircraft including two Boeing 767 passenger jets, three Boeing 737′s and one small Chinese plane for the domestic routes and to Johannesburg.
Air Zimbabwe has an impeccable safety record but has, like every other government company or agency, been short of money for the last decade.
Travellers flying Air Zimbabwe have to pay cash for their tickets. The technical source says that many of the top pilots and engineering staff have left Air Zimbabwe in recent years citing poor pay and working conditions and lack of opportunity especially for the handful of remaining white staff members.“
Mugabe wants the airline to perform well, but does nothing to help the staff, the aging fleet, or the paying public. It is much easier to just ignore these facts…
Hence, when I read that this book was written by a former judiciary member, my interest in whetted.
“Written by a former Zimbabwean High Court Judge, this is a biography spanning the southern African region during a time of momentous change. As well as being intriguing, absorbing and informative, it is also thought-provoking on critically important issues such as justice, ethnicity, xenophobia, affirmative action, the death sentence, rape and patronage.
This book is very different from the many books that have come out of the Zimbabwe situation. It is written with intent to set out truth based on authentic experiences of a “Coloured” person, in particular. The outcome is also quite brutal on a number of levels.
It is a unique biography that fascinates and provokes. Although the story starts in Zimbabwe, it spans the whole region in a quest to answer the central question – “what has liberation actually done for ordinary human beings – especially Zimbabweans?”
And how are we treated in other countries? A whole gamut of issues are traversed, including racism and xenophobia, with subsets like the death sentence, rape and the rights of an accused person.
This is a biography that is both enthralling and educative whether you are a judge, a human rights activist, one of the millions in the Zimbabwe Diaspora or just someone who is concerned that for, whatever reason, you are sometimes treated differently – as “the Other”. No punches are pulled about “inconvenient truths” and “convenient untruths”.
Included is an expos(233)é on the Edgar Tekere trial and the stance of Ian Smith's military commanders during the liberation war. Characters who are honourably featured include Richard Brown, the late Danny Pillay, Vernon Bowers, the late Sister Mare Nujent, Edgar Rogers, Minister Dullah Omar, among many others. Given that the world comprises a multi racial, multi ethnic mix concerned with truth, happiness and justice, “The Other – Without Fear, Favour or Prejudice” is a must-read.“
Journalist Tamborinyoka goes into Munhumutapa Building as both official spokesman and director of communications, making him one of the most powerful figures in the centre of government. It means yet another shake-up of the PM's Munhumutapa team, which has been repeatedly reorganised.
Tamborinyoa's appointment as the PM's spokesman is expected to bring extra horsepower to Tsvangirai's press team and play a key role in preparing his media strategy in the run-up to the next election. Tamborinyoka replaces James Maridadi, who has been moved to a new powerfull position where he will be responsible for protocol, an equivalent to a Chief of Staff in the US president.
Repeated efforts to obtain comment from Jameson Timba, the minister of State in the PM's office, were futile. But a senior bureaucrat in the PM's office said: “This is a very, very senior role. It is top table stuff.“
Changes within the MDC administration should not have to be done with ZANU PF approval. The changes that go on within ZANU PF are done with no reference to the MDC, so Chiramba should just leave it all be.
“Tamborinyoka will go head-to-head with President Mugabe's spin doctor, George Charamba, who has relied on blatant propaganda and aggressive media management to engage in crude efforts at mind control of the masses. Senior government officials say Tsvangirai's new squad are, on balance, the best team to be given the chance to take this great country forward.
The appointment has fuelled speculation that Tsvangirai was surrounding himself with loyalists. After a decade of backing the MDC, Tamborinyoka is expected to make a formidable contribution as a senior member of Tsvangirai's team in building the most effective strategy to win the general election.
Prior to his posting to Munhumutapa, Tamborinyoka was the director of Information and Publicity at Harvest House, the MDC HQ in central Harare. He spearheaded the MDC's savvy media campaign.
A veteran MDC cadre, in 2007, Tamborinyoka spent 71 days in a remand prison in Zimbabwe for allegedly hiding “weapons of war” at the MDC headquarters, before being acquitted because of a lack of evidence.“
Typical ZANU PF. They target those that they believe the experience of being incarcerated will weaken their resolve.
