Violent land reform youth corps wallow in poverty

Same here, there is no African trip in my future plans. I have trouble hearing people say “oh it is so beautiful”. Yeah I am sure the scenery is nice if you can see through the squalor, poverty and destitute people.

Zimbabwe was once the agricultural giant of Africa but Mugabe and his band of thieves and murderers have crippled that country beyond any hope for countless generations to come.

I can only hope that history will judge Mugabe as severly as the Lord is sure to.

Now who would have guessed things would turn out so badly?

[Frantzie]

Wow I guess the expertise of white farmers is not needed to grow food. Just steal whitey’s land. Kind of like GM bondholders.

Reminds me of ALL of television in the United States where every other TV commercial shows a “dumb white man.”

Another reason I cancelled TV that and the 24x7 pro-Obama endless propaganda on ALL channels including Fox/Saudia - one of the U.S. networks Saudi Prince Bin Talil has investments in.

Interesting that the MSM focuses on this scumbag who is actually reaping what he sowed instead of one of the displaced white farmers or the farm workers that were driven off by these thugs. I really can’t feel sorry for any of these idiots who thought it would be a good idea to destroy the food production of their country.

This is almost like what the Chinese communists did except the Chinese were far smarter than these yahoos. They promised the peasants free land by taking it away form the land lords and “giving” it the the peasants actually working the fields. Then after they were in power they took it all back, collectivized it and screwed the peasants and the land lords. The key difference is that they made sure that those that knew how to work the land stayed on the land (the Chinese were at least smart enough to figure they’d all starve otherwise, unlike their African brethren).

...Mugabe's often violent land reform that has seen politically linked chefs enjoying rich pickings.

Hannibal Lecter had no comments.

I think Africans everywhere have always had difficulty understanding civilization.

[Billthedrill]

The married father of two represents the plight of thousands of youths and militant veterans of the liberation war still loyal to Mugabe...

The war was over in 1980. The land thieves are veterans of nothing except thievery and murder. Let them starve. The real pity is that the people who sent them, won't.

[Iron Munro]

As if I needed any more reason to never want to go to Africa.

I'm afraid we have a President, his wife, Attorney General and entire administration determined to turn America into another Africa.

Don’t worry, it’s all part of Jimmy Carter’s Grand Plan.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Maybe they could ask for help from Terry Ford, a white farmer.

[PeterPrinciple]

The returns promised by politicians who encouraged him in the invasions have not materialised and he lives a pauper’s life.

But he will still follow his “great leader”

Look what's happening in Brazil:

Food And Drink Prices To Soar

“Brazil screwed it all up,” Chris Mayer, editor of Mayer’s Special Situations, laments by way of giving us an explanation. Last week, the Brazilian government let loose a sudden, “immediately binding” mandate that effectively outlawed all foreign ownership of domestic farmland…eerily similar to the Zimbabwean farmland coup."

“Worse,” Chris continues, “the legal rules are so unclear that all such acquisitions since 1988 could be null and void, with the land returned to nationals. I can tell you from talking to people down there in the last few days – including attorneys – that local businesspeople are not dismissing that possibility."
