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.

Over the weekend I found an incredible couple of videos that I want to share with you all.
The background story is probably best told by the musical entrepreneur, Eric Whitacre…
I don’t have the financial resources that he does, but I am seriously thinking that I must make a Christmas carol backing music track – one that everyone knows – available on the internet and invite those who want to participate, the just record their voices as they sing the song, and I will put the whole thing together in time for Christmas this year.
Who is game to give it a whirl?
Workers and white commercial farmers were murdered in cold blood – and no one has been brought to court to face criminal charges for those deaths.
And the landgrab immediately showed itself not to be what Mugabe claimed it was – the return of the land to the ‘landless blacks’. The vast majority of the land grab from the white commercial farmers is in the hands of Mugabe loyalists and senior officials within his ZANU PF party. Many of the farms have been asset stripped and allowed to lie dormant, while others are just abandoned,
A few farms do operate, like Mugabe’s Gushonga Dairy, but that is an exception to the rule.
The workers on the seized farms are now without an income, and have nowhere to go, their families having worked on the farms for generations.
And now, the identities of those that own the farms have been published in a newspaper in Zimbabwe.
Daily News say that although not all the details on the list could not be verified with the alleged land grabbers at the time of going to Press, the list says the Mugabe's own 13 farms, covering more than 15000 hectares.
Some of the farms especially in Norton have been merged into one. Mugabe’s deputy Joice Mujuru, her husband Solomon Mujuru and a host of their relatives allegedly own at least 22 farms.
The only other prominent personality outside of ZANU PF who got a farm is Welshman Ncube from the smaller faction of the MDC.
Among the military top brass are the commander of the defence forces, Constantine Chiwenga, and Air Marshall Perence Shiri have two farms each. Police commissioner general Augustine Chihuri is listed as having one farm.“
Mugabe made it very well known, in public speeches during the landgrab, that he would not tolerate multiple farm ownership – and yet his family owns 13 farms, some merged into one. And other senior ZANU PF families own more than one farm.
When was he going to put a stop to this?
Mugabe claims that the landgrab was to correct the land tenure of the whites on farms caused by the country’s colonial past, but practises exactly the same as what he claims to be correcting…
“It would appear that virtually all of ZANU PF's politburo members, members of Parliament and senators were allocated farms. The former ruling party's patronage was also extended to many traditional leaders, as well as to some Supreme Court and High Court judges.
Surprisingly though, Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono does not appear on the updated list, with sources even at the Commercial Farmers Union (CFU) confirming last night that he bought the farms that he owns.
The director general of the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) Happyton Bonyongwe is also missing on the list and sources again said he bought his farm believed to be in Manicaland Province.
According to reports from different organisations like the CFU, government's own investigation and non-governmental organisations, the Mugabe's own Gushungo Estates (Mazowe), Gushungo Dairies (Mazowe), Iron Mask (Mazowe), Sigaru farm (Mazowe), Gwebi Wood (Mazowe), Gwinha farm (Banket), Leverdale farm (Banket), Highfield farm (Norton), Cressydale farm (Norton), Tankatara farm (Norton), John O'Groat farm (Norton), Clifford farm (Norton), Smithfield Extension (Mazowe) and Bassville farm (Norton).
Mugabe's close relatives own more than 20 farms.
The relatives include Mugabe's sisters and nephews, Leo Mugabe and Patrick Zhuwao.
Leo Mugabe owns three farms, Nangadza farm in Mhangura and Journey's end farm in Makonde, Mashonaland East province and another farm believed to be in Banket.
Zhuwao owns Marivale farm in Mazowe. Mugabe's late sister Sabina's farm is listed as Rem Ext of Mlembwe (of Mimosa of Lembwe) in Makonde but the Daily News could not verify the other two farms under her name.
The First Lady's late brother Reward Marufu is listed as owning Leopards Vlei farm in Glendale and Kachere farm in Mazowe. Indigenisation and Youth Empowerment Minister, Saviour Kasukuwere is reported as owning three farms in Mazowe which are Usaka, Harmony, Re-extension of Pimento and Conurcorpia.“
So ZANU PF have done it again. Using political rhetoric, they have managed to help themselves to the farmland – and now Zimbabwe is incapable of feeding itself.
Well done, Bob – a brilliant effort all round!
“Kasukuwere became angry when the Daily News made inquiries saying the questions were stupid. “Go ahead and publish those farms you are talking about. That's stupid. Those rumours must come to an end. That's stupid,” Kasukuwere said before cutting off.
Chombo denied that he owns more than one farm and refused to give any details about which farm he owns.
He said: “Go back to your sources and confirm with them. Why don't you check with the Agriculture department? I don't know about that. Go ahead and publish what you have.“
Mugabe’s minions believe that they are untouchable and therefore don’t care…
I am somewhat surprised and disgusted that Welshman Ncube’s name appears on the listing. I would have thought that Mugabe was reluctant to give anything to the MDC formations and feel that the ownership of a farm by the smaller faction’s leader is a traitorous move by the assumed democratic movement leader.
A State secret.
And I don’t know why. Had they been honest with the Zimbabwean people from the start, Mugabe might have got a little sympathy, but because they have decided that the very people that allegedly voted him into the Presidency are not to be kept informed as to Mugabe’s health problems, the people rely on opinions and supposition.
“In ZANU PF, we never talk about his health. That one is not an issue,” party spokesman Rugare Gumbo said on Thursday.
“To us, he is still fit and if he presents himself, we will support him. In fact, he has indicated that he would want to run in the next poll and we are satisfied with this. He is a tried and tested leader and we can entrust him to be our Presidential candidate.”
Mugabe (87) and his party have repeatedly denied Zimbabwean’s founding leader was experiencing a failing health and if elected again, would not last his next five-year term as President.
But his frequent and extravagant trips to the Far east to seek medical treatment have heightened fears Mugabe may not be fit to be Zimbabwe’s next leader.“
The frequent trips to Singapore cost about US$3 million a pop. He takes a huge entourage with him and even more security personnel. Considering he is visiting a country that is sympathetic to his leadership, one would think that security people would not be something he needed a lot of… but this is Robert Mugabe, whose ego knows no bounds, who believes himself to be the only person who has the right to rule Zimbabwe.
And the Zimbabwean taxpayers, few though they may be, are obliged to foot the travel bill.
Whilst, I would assume, medical people in Zimbabwe feel a little insulted at his rejection of their skills at home.
The three who were driving in two cars were stopped at a roadblock and the police officers manning the roadblock said they wanted to verify with the Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) whether the vehicles were not stolen. The officials were on their way to a provincial meeting which had to be cancelled due to the detention.
“What surprised us was that the police officers manning the roadblock had names of people who had to be stopped and searched. We stayed there late into the night and when we contacted the CVR, they said the police had never phoned them on such a matter and we knew it was a set up,” said Tshabangu.“
ZANU PF are playing the long game. happy right now to do whatever they can to harass, delay, deter and scare the MDC supporters and officials with criminal charges. And no one in Zimbabwe wants to spend any time at all in the disgusting police cells scattered around the country.
I am, at present, working on a follow-up book.
But, even now, some twenty five years since the beginning of that bloody and vicious military campaign against the people of Matabeleland in which between twenty and thrity thousand people died, Mugabe and his closer loyalists refuse to do anything about addressing the problems in that province as a direct result of the Gukurahundi.
Mugabe has not apologised for the operation or the deaths, preferring to hide behind a throw away comment that it was a ‘moment of madness’…
Wide ranging interviews held in Matabeleland yesterday revealed that the victims also want Mugabe, cabinet members, security agents, and soldiers involved in the massacres to apologise and compensate the victims with projects to sustain their families.
During the deadly operation conducted by the North Korean trained Fifth Brigade, at least 20000 innocent civilians were killed, some were buried alive while others had body parts bayoneted in acts similar to acts in sadistic movies.
The Fifth Brigade that was headed by Air Marshall Perence Shiri, Emmerson Mnangagwa was State Security Minister while Enos Nkala was Defence Minister. Government then claimed that they wanted to deal with less than 200 ‘ZAPU dissidents’ claiming they were planning an insurgence.“
Having been one of those that had to deal with the consequences and results of the violence, the mass murders and the violence visited upon the people during that time, the mental damage caused by something like this was always going to remain with me for many years.
Writing my book did a certain amount of repair as it became a pressure release. But as I wrote in my book, if it took me so long to come to terms with the problem, what of those that have to live with the consequences every day?
And the oppression in Zimbabwe continues.
“Police have launched a fresh onslaught on the church and pro-democracy groups in the region in a move that provoked deep seated anger from the Gukurahundi victims who view it as a sign to silence them.
In interviews held in Matoba South, the victims and survivors said it was disheartening to note that the government of Mugabe, which fully understands the extent of the catastrophe and its continuing efforts on entire communities, has chosen to make political gimmicks out of the very wounds it inflicted on its own people.
“We hear about the national healing programme but it will never work here unless it starts with Robert Mugabe leading a delegation of his ministers here to apologise and give our communities the developmental redress they need.“
But is only a pipe dream. Mugabe had a point to be made with the Gukurahundi – and he made it – and there is nothing more to be said or done.
It is rather a large ‘consignment’ and I need to sort through it so that we can sort out the house. So, I am outta here.
Take care.
