"Zimbabwe Criticism Unfair"

Zimbabwe Criticism Unfair
The US and British, as well as the mainstream media's concern are over one issue: Mugabe took back lands from whites and returned them to blacks. Black Zimbabweans will have other internal issues that are more about their day-to-day survival, but the Western interest is about controlling Zimbabwe's Land. They also want to destroy the Zimbabwean land reclamation example, before it takes hold throughout the continent.

The Stolen Election audio collection:
Vote Fraud is Real- Wake Up America
If you listen to all five audios, you will understand that beyond doubt, something fishy went down in Ohio. The point being that there were tons of irregularities, glitches and even intentional fraud, yet the media AND the democratic 'leadership' dismissed this as something to fix for next time. The proof of the stolen election is in the coverup (and of course all of the facts that were covered up).

If there was nothing wrong, then these problems would have been addressed by the media. Instead, there was a massive mainstream media blackout on all election problems. The absolute refusal to cover obvious stories amounts to complicity. The best Republican arguments against election fraud was, "Even John Kerry accepts the results, so it must not be true," or "If there was fraud, the 'news' would have covered it." Insane- they use their own media blackout to 'prove' there was no fraud. For the millions of Americans that know the truth, this was not good enough, but they didn't care about convincing us, just about burying the story from the masses.

The Big Fix
Let's face the facts. The game is over and we - the "reality-based community," the believers in genuine democracy and law, the heirs of Jefferson and Madison, Emerson and Thoreau, the toilers and dreamers, all those who seek to rise above the beast within and shape the brutal chaos of existence into something higher, richer and imbued with meaning - have lost. The better world we thought had been won out of the blood and horror of history - a realm of enlightenment that often found its best embodiment in the ideals and aspirations of the American Republic - is gone. It's been swallowed by darkness, by ravening greed, by bestial spirits and by willful primitives who now possess overwhelming instruments of power and dominion.
