>From friends in South Africa:

"Zimbabwe to our north is now officially engulfed in a ‘famine.' Starvation is widespread in spite of the fact that it is probably the most fertile place in the world.

Stalin manufactured a similar 'famine' in Russia in the early part of the last century. The now-familiar Communist pattern was repeated later in North Korea where it is still firmly in place. It's latest manifestation can now be found in Zimbabwe.

‘Land reform' is always used a convenient pretext for Communists to take high-performance farm land away from its legitimate owners and ultimately out of production altogether. The Communist pattern of seizure always involves a throng of nationalized thugs who are routinely and casually brutal and thoughtless. Victims are frequently raped and murdered in public, as an example to all who would dare object. Subsequent denial and cover-up is standard procedure, and the self-righteous world press is only too happy to go along with it.

In South Africa we can see the same thing starting here. Communists form a strong segment of our national government, and they are now talking openly about similar ‘land reform.' The newly appointed Minister of Justice is an acknowledged Communist."
