. . .The people's cries for help to a government that they had just elected and indeed kept in power for the past 20 years were largely ignored.So it is in this context that it is difficult to understand Andrew Young, the visiting African-American activist and former mayor of Atlanta.
While Young, an internationally respected politician, is very right to point out that the land issue was paramount and should be resolved, there is no excuse whatsoever for him - a man who enjoys the full protection of the law in his home country the United States - to come here and proclaim that all is well, that there is no lawlessness in Zimbabwe let alone on the farms, as he is quoted as having said.
Surely it should be obvious to a person of Young's experience that the last place he could find out about the lawlessness in Zimbabwe is the State House.
Zimbabweans are tired of international apologists for ZANU PF's current violent campaign and appeal to Young and his ilk to stop trying to legitimise state-sponsored terrorism. Enough is enough.

From the University of California:
Nine banks hid loans, set up false investments and facilitated phantom Enron sales
- Bank executives profited personally from "Ponzi scheme"
- Law firms structured phony deals
- Additional insider trading documented
The 485-page amended complaint lays out the scheme in detail, naming J. P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse First Boston, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), Bank America, Barclays Bank, Deutsche Bank and Lehman Brothers as key players in a series of fraudulent transactions that ultimately cost shareholders more than $25 billion.
Less well-known are four of Winnick's Drexel colleagues, now at Toronto-based Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), which provided a healthy chunk of Global Crossing's initial capital. Because of its investment, CIBC, one of Canada's five largest banks, has realized more than $1.3 billion in profits from Global.From www.jewishsf.com
Despite bankruptcy, he's still big donor to Jewish causes
. . . largest single donation is the $40 million pledged to the Simon Wiesenthal Center for construction of the Winnick Institute in Jerusalem.
Zimbabwe diamond deals exposed--Former Mossad agent trades weapons for diamonds to Mugabe.
"69. . . a whole network of Israelis was established, including Mr. Gertler in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lev Leviev in Angola and Shmuel Shnitzer in Sierra Leone. In all three cases, the pattern is the same. Conflict diamonds are exchanged for money, weapons and military training. These diamonds are then transported to Tel Aviv by former Israeli Air Force pilots, whose numbers have significantly increased both in UNITA-held territory in Angola and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Israel, these diamonds are then cut and sold at the Ramat Gan Diamond Centre."Details on the Ramat Gan Diamond Center here:
* Zimbabwe is Africa's second-longest stable democracy. It is multi-party. It had elections last year where the opposition, Movement for Democratic Change, won over 50 seats in the parliament. It has an opposition press which vigorously criticizes the government and governing party. It has an independent judiciary which issues decisions contrary to the wishes of the governing party. Zimbabwe is not without troubles, but neither is the United States. I have not heard anyone proposing a United States Democracy Act following last year's Presidential electoral debacle. And if a foreign country were to pass legislation calling for a United States Democracy Act which provided funding for United States opposition parties under the fig leaf of ``Voter Education,'' this body and this country would not stand for it.

Lev Leviev, Maurice Tempelsman, the Oppenheimer family and the rest of the diamond cartel were protected and the money from the dirty trade kept pouring into the DNC, you two could care if Karl Marx himself had McKinney's seat and everyone knows it. You only want her out because she is causing trouble for the liberal sleazes in the diamond trade. Zimbabwe diamond deals exposed (former Mossad agent Ari Ben-Menashe again) Naah, Lar, doesnt fly. Sorry you dont like reading about terrorists so much. Sure Lar, Freepers post and talk about Palestinians and other assorted Islamic terrorists to take the pressure off Israel and the DNC. Terrorists do nothing bad compared to Jews. Thanks for the insight troll. Youre entitled to support McKinney, its OK. I want her out because anti-American, and trashes our President and our nation. You want her in because she trashes Israel too. You shouldnt feel bad about that. More importantly, I think its likely shell win, youll be able to revel in her pronouncements for years. Your accusation that Im covering up money smuggling and illegal contributions for the DNC is an outright lie. Youre welcome to back it up if you like. Which brings us to the key point. These are CRIMES. Ive asked you to provide evidence of these contributions, preferably to the FBI, but if you post them here (shaky idea) Ill see that they get to the authorities. Most of the people you cite, with the exception of Tempelsman arent American citizens (I know, theyre Jews). Their campaign contributions are ILLEGAL. Its a slam bang open and shut case. WHY ARE YOU WITHOLDING THE EVIDENCE? If you dont have it why are you accusing others of a coverup? Youre either a coward or a slanderer. From a political perspective, another Freeper once commented that if he were James Carville, hed compile the LarryLied commentaries into a scrapbook, to use as proof that conservatives are a bunch of anti-Semitic right wing bigots. Not true, but a stereotype you certainly give life to. Allow me to congratulate for reinforcing the stereotype of conservative as a bunch of divisive, conspiracy nuts. Accusing people of crimes is fun Larry, but you really need to back it up. In a vacumn, this would be fun and games. Unfortunately we live in a divided country. I love GWB, but I also realize Gore got more votes. Were coming into what will be some very tight elections this fall. You want McKinney back in, Id prefer Majette, but Id really like to see the Republicans pick up a lousy five seats. And youre doing your best to see that doesnt happen. Your sick agenda is very sad. And it harms Republican chances. Sorry again about posting about Islamic terrorists. If it bothers you, don't read the threads.
