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.

Zimbabwe’s attorney general has appointed a probe team to assess whether any of the diplomatic cables in custody of whistle blowing site Wikileaks reveal breaches of the country’s security laws, which may lead to prosecution of those cited, reports say.

“I am seeking a professional legal opinion from registered lawyers to see whether there is need to prosecute anyone following revelations by the Wikileaks website,” Johannes Tomana, the attorney general told the state-run Sunday Mail.

“People should understand that this is a serious matter…after their recommendations, I will then decide whether there is need to open a docket against anyone.

“This is not a commission of inquiry, but a panel of experts whose recommendations will inform whether to prosecute anyone or not.”

The whistle-blower website is expected to dump more than 250,000 cables onto the Internet and to select media outlets, including more than 3,000 cables concerning Zimbabwe.

WikiLeaks has not said what will be contained in its upcoming release on Zimbabwe.

Last month, Tomana was slapped with sanctions and an asset freeze by the United States, making him the latest ally of long-ruling President Robert Mugabe to be black-listed by the US government.

A series of US cables by its diplomats released by WikiLeaks last month have been embarrassing to 86-year-old Mugabe and his inner circle.

One discussed the United Nations’ efforts to get Mugabe to stand down by offering him a retirement package and an exile deal.

Another contained accusations that Mugabe’s wife, Grace, and Central Bank Governor Gideon Gono were earning huge profits from illegal diamonds.

Mugabe’s wife has filed a lawsuit claiming 15 million dollars in damages from a local independent weekly that reproduced a WikiLeaks report which said she had been involved in underhand sales of diamonds from the controversial Marange mines.
