En el a~no 1981, Mugabe firmo un tratado con Kim Il Sung [dirigente de Corea del Norte 1945-1994] para entrenar una fuerza paramilitary en Zimbabwe. La Fuerza logro la denominacion La Quinta Columna. En el a~no 1982, La Quinta Columna junto con las Fuerzas Juveniles del Partido de Mugabe [ZANU-PF] hicieron una limpieza etnica de los Mat abeles [grupo etnico dentro de Zimbabwe]. La limpieza etnica llevaba como titulo Gukurahundi [el agua limpia el polvo]. En el 2005, Mugabe lanzo la Operacion Murambatsvina [Operacion Limpia Escoria] cuyo resultado fue la expulsion de 700,000 personas de Harare [la capital de Zimbabwe] hacia los campos.

Sudafrica tiene el poder para decir “Basta Ya” y el pueblo de Zimbabwe debe ponerse fuerte. La lucha comienza y continua. Mugabe parece haber adoptado los valores de “Si Me Voy, Zimbabwe y el Sur de Africa ira conmigo”. Lo unico que puede mover a Sudafrica es una amenaza de la FIFA para trasladar la Copa Mundial 2010 hacia los Estados Unidos o Gran Breta~na.

“El que aspira a la gran unidad nacional es patriota y el que la estorba, vendepatria.”

“La unidad es el camino de la prosperidad de la nación, y el desmembramiento, el de su ruina.”

“La reunificación es el patriotismo, y la división, la traición a la patria.”

EL FORASTERO DE OHIO

“El que VOTA LIBERTARIO es patriota y el que VOTA REPUBLICANO Y DEMOCRATA, vendepatria.”

“La unidad [BAJO LOS LIBETARIOS] es el camino de la prosperidad de la nación, y el desmembramiento [COMO MC CAIN, OBAMA, CLINTON, REPUBLICANOS Y DEMOCRATAS], el de su ruina.”

Rev. Jeremiah Wright has preached for more than 3,000 hours in the course of his career, but the cable news networks have used a handful of 30-second clips, often taken completely out of context, to exploit racial fears.

Fox News has set the tone for much of this coverage. Even after Barack Obama rejected Rev. Wright's most incendiary comments, on-air host Sean Hannity asked whether Obama's candidacy was "dangerous for this country," saying, "if he agreed with Wright, and I don't know that he does, but if he did, that would mean a racist and an anti-Semite would be president of the United States."

Martin Luther King Jr. didn't endorse political candidates (and neither does Sojourners), but he knew something about attracting controversy from the pulpit. In fact, the week before his death, he was planning a sermon for that Sunday titled "Why America May Go to Hell."
But when King spoke difficult truths, he did so in the pursuit of what he called "the beloved community," believing the nation could overcome racial divisions not by ignoring them, but by coming together in the spirit of nonviolence to pursue the common good.

Libertarians are Not Conservatives

Worcester, Mass, April 4: Libertarian Presidential candidate George Phillies today condemned claims that the Libertarian Party is a right-wing conservative Party. "Libertarians are not conservatives," Phillies said. "It is an act of fraud, a violation of our party's statement of principles, to lure conservatives to join by lying to them. Claiming our party is 'true conservative' is dishonest, and will wreck our party.
"Yes," Phillies continued, "there are issues where we agree with conservatives. There are also issues where we agree with progressive liberals. For voters: If you agree with us on issues you care about, please vote for us. If you think you trust our candidate, please vote for him. No matter if you're liberal or conservative or populist, we'd love to have your vote. But I'm not going to lie, just to get your vote.
"We real libertarians have a challenge," Phillies said. "Some conservatives pretend to be Libertarians. Fifty years ago, conservatives claimed states had a right to keep persons of color from voting. Conservatives were wrong. Now, conservatives claim states have a right to keep women from having abortions. That claim is the same old racist Jim-Crow states' rights doctrine. It's still wrong. Our Constitution's 14th Amendment makes things crystal clear. If Congress isn't allowed to do it, neither are individual states.
Phillies urged fellow Libertarians to be prepared. "Yes, we have challenges. But we're up against the Bush Republican War Party, and that's a huge advantage. Just don't let conservatives take over our party. America already has two conservative parties, Republican and Constitution. We shouldn't become the third."

From 1980 to 2000, Zimbabwe was the breadbasket of Southern Africa and there was food because of people [including the white Europeans that remained because of reassurance from Mugabe] willing to work the land. Regardless, Mugabe had shown his true colours by arresting and harassing former rival Joshua Nkomo. In 1981, Mugabe signed an agreement with the Dictator of North Korea Kim Il Sung to train a group of loyal followers called the Fifth Brigade. In 1982, The Fifth Brigade, the ZANU-PF Youth Corp, the Central Intelligence Organization (CIO), and the Police Internal Security Intelligence Unit (PISI) were involved in a massacre of an ethnic group [Matabele] within Zimbabwe. The operation was known as Gukurahundi [which is Shona for cleaning up after the rain fell]. It was also the first time that food was used as an object to eliminate an ethnic group.

In the year 2000, Zimbabwe had a referendum and Mugabe lost. The response of Mugabe was to complain of foreign "colonialists" out to destabilize his government and he started a programme of nationalisation of white owned farms. While it is understood that the White Europeans unjustly stole land from Africans during their conquests, there were other ways to resolve the land issue. Unfortunately, Mugabe did not have patience for legal issues and went ahead and confiscated land even at gun point and turning the land to people who needed the training but never received it. It was during the land reform programme in which Didymus Mutesa a Minister for Mugabe once said: ""We would be better off with only six million people, with our own people who support the liberation struggle. We don't want all these extra people."

Robert Mugabe and the ZANU-PF continued to use "colonialism" as a pretext to repress opposition political groups including Morgan Tsvangarai of the MDC [Movement for Democratic Change] with beatings, and imprisonment. The economy of Zimbabwe which was one of the most prosperous went for a free fall with the government issuing bank notes of up to a Million Zimbabwean Dollars. At the present time [5th of April 2008], the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has 100,580.2% as the inflation rate with the official exchange of rate of $1.00 USA = $30,000 Zimbabwean Dollars.

Between the end of 16th of May 2003 to the end of the 7th of March 2008, the Gross Domestic Debt of the Republic of Zimbabwe increased fro $446,102.60 to $ 1,619,206,762.55 in Zimbabwean Dollars. All of this so that one person can impose his form of Communism on a people who want to go forward instead of backward. Robert Mugabe and company were not content to destroy the economy, expel the Europeans, commit genocide against the Matabele, steal elections, and practice the fine art of repression against the opposition.

In the year 2005, Mugabe and company practiced a new Operation called Operation Murambatsvina otherwise known as "Operation Drive out the Filth". Operation Murambatsvina or "Operation Drive out the Filth" expelling people from the city of Harare to the country and practically leaving 700,000 people homeless and directly affecting the rest of the population.

Regardless, the people of Zimbabwe in the latest elections of 2008 told Mugabe that enough was enough. In fact, the MDC [Movement for Democratic Change] released their results which gave them an outright victory in order to avoid a run off election. The Zimbabwean Civil Society released figures that gave Tsvangarai victory as well. The response of Mugabe was to deny that he lost, send his personal guard to beat up the opposition, and arrest foreign journalists including a New York Times Newspaper Reporter.

According to BBC News, Mugabe's Police blocked the MDC from filing a petition to Zimbabwe's Highest Court to have the official presidential results released. According to Reuter's News Agency, members of the police left the presidential compound in front of the court and actually blocked the MDC. Regardless, Morgan Tsvangerai have asked for a peaceful dialogue with Mugabe in order to facilitate a democratic transition. In other news, the final election results minus the Presidential Elections shows the Senate evenly split between MDC and ZANU-PF while the Parliament is dominated by the MDC.

Mugabe has to go but there is more power behind extra official forces created by Mugabe himself. In addition to the military, there is a group of war veterans who fought under Mugabe during the 1965-1979 Rhodesian Civil War and they are willing to support him. There is another group that was trained by North Korea which participated in the massacre of 1982. Last but not least, there was one group composed of homeless youths and children who were picked up by the police, placed in a rehabilitation centre [theoretically] but were turned into fanatical followers of Mugabe. These above mentioned people have terrorized Zimbabwe.

At the present time according to the BBC News Website, South African President Mbeki is meeting with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to discuss the situation about Zimbabwe. Mbeki has declared that "Zimbabwe is not a South African Province" and Brown has promised international observers in the run off election. It must be remembered that South Africa will be the host of 2010 World Cups and South Africa has been taking measures to reassure FIFA [Football [Soccer] International Federation about South Africa being a stable and reliable host. If Zimbabwe implodes and there is a horde of refugees and the possibility of the problems of Zimbabwe spilling into South Africa [as well as Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia, and Botswana] many people will not risk their lives to go to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

What happens in Zimbabwe remains to be seen.
