Zimbabwe : Strident MDC threatens to unleash war

07-06-2008 01:51

This just in. the MDC has threatened to unleash war IF they dont win the elections...So desperate are they to get into power, they are prepared to destroy the country.

Lest we forget:

'Arthur Mutambara, the leader of one faction of Zimbabwe's main opposition party, the MDC, and one of the principals in the Save Zimbabwe Campaign that's at the centre of a storm of controversy over the Mugabe government's crackdown on opposition, boasted a year ago that he was "going to remove Robert Mugabe, I promise you, with every tool at my disposal." (1)

Educated at Oxford, the former management consultant with McKinsey & Co. was asked in early 2006 whether "his plans might include a Ukrainian-style mass mobilization of opponents of Mugabe's regime." (2)

"We're going to use every tool we can get to dislodge this regime," he replied. "We're not going to rule out or in anything the sky's the limit." (3)

Sierra Leone Movement Under Attack!

06-06-2008 19:20

Chernoh Alpha M. Bah
Slanderous news media has appeared in a government linked newspaper and a campaign of rumors has been initiated, obviously designed to undermine and isolate the Africanist Movement and its director, Chernoh Alpha M. Bah. Sierra Leone’s neocolonial government is apparently moving to criminalize the Africanist Movement in order to justify jailing and/or otherwise destroying these courageous leaders of our struggle for African self-determination.

Amdani Juma's deportation has been postponed until Tuesday 10th June, but remains a real threat. There has already been a massive campaign in support of Amdani and a huge amount of pressure.

Please send as many as you can. Feel free to adapt these templates, but please avoid being hostile.

When you've sent your communication off, please also send a copy to  ncbinotts@ncbi.org.uk so that Amdani's solicitor can make the authorities aware of the extent of Amdani's support.

Pentagon said drawing up plans for strike on Iranian camp

06-06-2008 17:12

One has to wonder if, now that these Extremists have lost all credibility, and nobody's fallen for their LIES this time around, and everyone's wary of another False Flag Attack, if this isn't their newest ploy to start the war, which is really about Regime Change.

If you think Iran (and by extension, Russia) will take this lying down, you're sadly mistaken. This would still be an illegal Act of War and Naked Aggression.
