I wonder if Oppenheimer will hire Executive Options/Outcomes or Sandline.
These mercs were going through the RUF in Sierra Leone like a dose of salts until the international community made a deal through Jesse Jackson of the US and Charles Taylor of Liberia to call them off.

Ford was killed outside his homestead west of Harare earlier in the week. Zimbabwe's government earmarked more white farms for seizure in defiance of rising international pressure against President Robert Mugabe after his controversial election victory.

When is the Hague court and Carla going to indict and try this Mugabe sub-human on the litany of PC crimes of which he is clearly guilty: racial bigotry, hate crimes, ethnic cleansing, war cimes of all imaginable types, probably cannibalism, etc ??

It would be a miracle for the Hague to go after butcher Mugabe-If he were white, he would have already been tarred and feathered. They are more concentrated on going after Milosevic (who ironically is white himself) than more deserving scumbags like Mugabe.

Mugabe ...says it is immoral for the 4 500 white farmers to occupy 70% of the country's best farm land Was it the "best farmland" before the whites developed it? (I suspect not.) Is it "moral" to starve one's own country, to satisfy racial-political abstractions or for any other reason? Is it "moral" to persecute the small percentage of whites who trusted the black government enough to stick around as a politically powerless minority after Rhodesia fell? Will we soon see Soviet style explanations for agricultural failure -- "due to the 70th straight year of unusual weather blah blah blah..." (See, I'm not a racist, I can admit that whites can be incompetent too. Da, konyechno!)
A bumper sticker I've seen in California farm country, any white Rhodesian might appreciate:
PUT A FARMER OUT OF BUSINESS -- STARVE!

They need to go after communists, black and white.
To: Rytwyng
The farmers were agreeing to giving up a lot of their land, land they'd owned and farmed for generations.
Large parcels of land had already been turned over and lay fallow.
But when Mugabe saw Morgan Tsvangarai's political star rising,
he needed to do something and
ordered the siezure of the white farms to begin.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
You're right-let's hope it happens soon.
To: Clive
Your post is in line with my thinking. Mugabe could be eliminated.

What a desperate and despicable situation. The Commonwealth's slap on the wrist, as well as our media ignoring this truly disgraceful genocide, is appalling.
For those, who claim that this is none of our business, all I can say is, is that when our tax dollars are demanded, for Commie , racist dictaor's self inflicted horrors upon their own country, it IS our problem. Of course, just from a purely humane sense, it is absolutely our problem !
To: nopardons
Michael Savage, World Net Daily (Joseph Farah) and Chris Ruddy's Newsmax have reported on length about this. I do wish Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity would bring this out in the open even more. This crap being pulled by Mugabe and the poor leadership by Thabo Mbeki is more outrageous than what apartheid could have even done in South Africa. Instead of granting amnesty to ILLEGALS from south of the border, the US should bring the farmers over from the former Rhodesia and SA who want a new homeland and let them add to our prosperity here.
To: jragan2001
You're right; of course.
There's nary a word, in any of our mainstream media. As much as I like Sean ( I'm listening to his radio show, as I type ) , he has totally ignored this situation. It isn't something that should be ignored !
Mbeki and Mandela and even Mugabe have been lionized in the West. All of them are stinking COMMUNISTS ! Just like Stalin , Castro, and any other Marxist, they've ruined their own countries, and demand that the West then bail them out .
Want know what the USA's policy is ? In South Africa ( I can't talk to how it is in Zimbabwe; however , I suspect that it is the same ) , it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get an immigration visa , to the USA, it costs a lot of money ( they hold a lottery for it , and one has about as much of a chance of winning one, as any American has of winning a 500 million dollar POWERBALL ! ) , takes a VERY long time, and no, there is NO amnesty granted. After 9/11/01 and the latest INS screwup, whom are the INS agents now hassling ? Why the LEGAL , law abiding, hard working, Afrikaners, who are here and waiting to be approved for green cards; that's who !
America woud benefit greatly ( and so would the Comservatve Movement, BTW ) by allowing more of these people to emmigrate here.
