  1. One tribe taking over from another tribe.
    Recently talked to a Mennonite missionary who had returned from a 3 year mission to Rhodesia. He told me the people were peace loving and gentle souls. I challenged that by saying that thousands of white were killed by Mogabe and his crew. He said he saw no violence and never felt threatened.

  3. Right…..and if you were to travel to Rwanda today you wouldn’t see people chopping up others with machetes either…..but it doesn’t mean it never happened.

  4. Probably an MCC type missionary. MCC today supports leftist causes including groups such as Hamas. Much of its leadership has become extremely political, but the quilt makers do not realize this and think it is still the old MCC. It is not the same MCC that my grandfather represented in the Orenburg, Russia region in the early 1920s. My grandfather would NOT have supported any leftists. MCC was apolitical at that time and brought food and help to any that needed it regardless of what the needy person’s politics were.
    I get the same thing from my neighbour who was a missionary in South Africa and thinks the ANC was a good thing and will not believe that hundreds of white South African farmers were killed just last year along.
    What Paul said.

  5. “…challenged that by saying that thousands of white were killed by Mogabe and his crew. …”
    And just as many were killed by Nkomo’s faction, and many times more blacks than whites were also killed by them.
    The killers have become relatively “peaceful” since they killed off most of the people they see as real opposition, and the survivors are generally “peaceful” too since active political opposition, never mind resistance, seems too likely to provoke the same old solution.

  6. It’s like a Black Friday Sale in the US, any one time at any one store things appear somewhat civilized and organized, then more often than not at random BAMB.

  7. Africa needs to be more inclusive and diverse. There are millions of poor white eastern Europeans and Christians that should be imported into Africa on generous welfare programs to find a better life for themselves.

  8. Where is SHE … when you need HER? When we needed her to repeat … “we came, we saw, He DIED”! *cackle*
    I suspect that most, if not all, of the Clinton Foundation’s “African AIDS education funds” … actually purchased gold Mercedes for the likes of Mugabe. SHE has a very … selective … hit list.

  11. missionaries are a strange lot, chalking it all up to ‘God’s will’.
    and wondering if it was ‘God’s will’ they get their friggin stoooopid head lopped off by the locals.
    I took a poli sci course from Brock U studying military coups, taught by a wonderful gentle spoken black man from Nigeria I think it was, who had lived thru a military coup. it was mention one of the dozens of ahfricahn coups was done in order to SAVE the country from a tyrant. it worked. cant recollect the details, this was after all >30 yrs ago.
    my hope for zimbabwe, well, lets wait and see. looks like a good start, no massive opposition to the military action so far. gee, mr mugabe, why is that?

  14. about 30 years late. and they should just kill him slowly, so the pri*k suffers to death.
    Now if the Venezuela army just arrests bus drivers!!!

  15. So his projected replacement former vice president is a mass murdering thug too? TIA all the way. Time for traditional bloody civil war, let the machetes swing.

  16. Mugabe, the most educated world leader, presided over the demise of the best economy in Africa.
    The Zimbabwe dollar was redenominated four times until they gave up 5 or 6 years ago. By then original Z dollars had dropped in value by a factor of 10^-25.

  17. read an interesting book about 45 years ago called Coup d’Etat, I believe. At the time coups were more common than elections as a way to replace governments.

  20. “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” Winston Churchill

  21. That is true only in a civilized society (and not always there – “Democracy: The God That Failed”), most of the world isn’t civilized.

  22. Ah, but civilization is a social construct, isn’t it? (Nope, but don’t tell that to the segment of society that’s perpetually deranged, sometimes referred to as “progressives”.)

  23. I remember studying Rhodesia when I was lad in high school.
    What was wrong with British rule?? Guess we should have payed more attention in class!
    I do however recall taking the Union Jack down from the flagpole just before 3:30 PM. It was heavy, made of cotton, all double stitched, just like Old Glory. . Then Pearson came along and we had a nylon flag. Cheap, light, looked like it was bought at Army and Navy. One day in class, I made a comment that the new flag was not friendly to Western Canada. My reasoning was that maple trees, the type of trees that bear the leaf of the sugar maple that is displayed on our flag, did not exist in Western Canada. And there should have been blue bars on the edges to show that Canada spans for sea to sea. I still hold on to that opinion today.
    The teacher, a Liberal spinster, took me off flag duty. I got her back at Halloween by rearranging the ignition wires on her Vauxhall. She went back to Ontario the following year. Never heard from her again.
