RE: sowing salt))) Tempting thought, but the farmers who come after these white Rhodesians likely wouldn't be able to farm Eden itself, so why waste the salt? Classic Atlas Shrugged. They chase out the producers.

Gee, now, if the blacks were Serbs and the whites Albanians, there'd be more interest from the world.

For months now I have stated that the only solution for Zimbabwe will come from the barrel of a gun via gurilla war against Mugabe and the ZANU-PF monsters who benefit from his Kleptocracy. The advent of national canibalism is just arround the corner and everyone remaining in that nation will face a daily choice of eat or be eaten. The only beneficial aid we could give to Zimbabwe is arms and ammunition to the opponents of Mugabe but that will not happen because of the melanin content of Mugabe's skin.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

These folks qualify for fast-track immigrant status as political refugees to the U.S.

No they don't. They are white,and they aren't a religious minority.

I don't think there'll be any red carpet in the US for these folks. The Globalists want them gone - they're an embarrassment to them & they're happy to let Mugabe dispose of them.

BTW any one else noticing a trend?

The leaders of these countries recently threw a big dinner and invited world leaders to come and discuss how to relieve the coming self induced famine. No one showed up for their dinner, I'm sure the no show really displeased the United Nations.

I feel sorry for the individuals over there but they must go ahead and starve. Freedom from want, when given, is not held in as much esteem and will not survive as long as freedom hard won. Especially when the majority of the populace is happy to see the whites being slaughtered and thrown off their land.

If the oppressors have black faces, they are given a pass.

They are not oppressors, they are oppressed, apparently.

All that money and food were confiscated by the corrupt Ethiopian government.

Nothing surprising there. This is the historic method of controlling your people in Africa,and the whole purpose of that concert and album was to pump up musical careers,especially those of Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones. It was probably good for $100 million each in international sales of their old and new music. You just can't begin to buy publicity like that.

The other musicians most likely did it without thinking because it made them feel good and noble. I doubt any of them ever gave a moments thought to what happened once the attention went away. They just ASSUMED the hungry people would be fed.

. Are we past the point where the ballot box can really make a difference in America?

Not yet. That day won't arrive untill the gooberment announces we are converting over to a "cash-free system",and all "money" will be listed as debits and credits in electronic accounts you (AND they!)will access with a unique identifier. That's the day I take up my rifle and go into politics. If you wait until that is implemented and running,you have waited too long.

Looks to me like the same bunch of elitists is pulling the strings in both major parties.

It is. They all go to the same schools,live in the same neighborhoods,and marry into each other's families. Most are even in business together in one form or another.

Note: If everybody dies in the first year of starvation, because there are no crops that year, it doesn't ensure self-sufficiency because there are no "selfs" to take care of themselves beginning in year 2.

There will still be people. Mugabe just does not want any self-sufficient farmers. All Mugabe wants are people to work the mines (to provide cash in his pockets). Food can be imported

The advantage of importing food for cash is that the government can then utterly control who gets to live or die of starvation. It helps avoid labor troubles.

There are a couple who post here on FR,and they seem to say it isn't easy for them to come to the US. They need some kind of US "connection" to make it happen. "White refugee fleeing from black racism,murder,and oppression" either just ain't enough,or ain't what the US State Dept wants to hear.

The Globalists want them gone - they're an embarrassment to them & they're happy to let Mugabe dispose of them.

Yup,they are living proof the globalists were lying.

BTW any one else noticing a trend?

These are trends even Ray Charles can see.

I think if I were one of those farmers, before I left, I'd switch the signs on the fertilizer and weed killer storage tanks, then poion the well and sugar the gas tanks on any internal combustion engine on the farm. Then I would get the heck out of Zimbabwe as fast as I could.

If I were having my land taken away by force, it would probably have an 'accidental' salting, or arsenic, or gasoline spread across all of the land.

They're way ahead of you. The self destruct mechanism is arranged with a *dead-man's switch,* and has been in place for more than 20 years now.

Isn't this sort of like apartheid in South Africa which this country raised so much ruckus about for so long that South Africa finally gave it up? Maybe it's supposed to be OK for them to do mean stuff to the land-owners if they are not the right...well, reader (whoever reads this), you figure it out.

then subsidized by the tax paying whites of the United States.

I hardly think that the IRS has a special branch the separates the money paid by white taxpayers from those paid by black taxpayers - of which there are many. Your comments sound racist to me.

Everything sounds raciest to nit picking anti-First Amendment thought police.
