Più che comunista a me sembra un razzista negro. E siccome io non sono filorazzista a intermittenza, ma in senso integrale, non posso certo biasimarlo per questo.
Anche se devo dire che le cose vanno sempre fatte con criterio e pragmatismo: il III Reich pensò bene di cacciare gli scienziati ebrei, quelli se ne andarono in America, fecero la bomba atomica e il Reich se lo prese nel sedere, mentre proprio la razza che voleva combattere, si impose definitivamente. Mai disfarsi di chi ti è utile, finché non sei davvero capace a sostituirlo.






In effetti...
Oggi quello che conta sono le competenze, il cosiddetto know how, i cervelli. Senza di questi non si va da nessuna parte.
Rispondendo a Lorenzo: non ho mai fatto mistero di essere un pragmatico: idealista nei fini, realista nei mezzi.


Zimbabwean opposition leader announces pulling out of presidential run-off

·Morgan Tsvangirai has announced that he will not take part in the presidential run-off.HARARE, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has announced that he will not take part in the presidential run-off against incumbent President Robert Mugabe, local media further confirmed on Sunday.
·The announcement came after MDC failed to hold its star rally in Harare.
·Tsvangirai called on the United Nations and the African Union to intervene.
The announcement came after the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) failed to hold its star rally in Harare on Sunday for the presidential runoff under unclear circumstances.
Tsvangirai, who is challenging Mugabe of Zanu-PF, was expected to address the rally at Glamis Stadium. The venue was deserted in the afternoon amid unconfirmed reports that the rally had been called off on security grounds, the state media New Ziana said.
Churches services in suburbs near Glamis Stadium were also cancelled as some parishioners feared to expose themselves to crossfire, the news agency said.
However, other media reports revealed that thousands of police in full riot gear and soldiers blockaded the site of the MDC's main campaign rally.
Tsvangirai was quoted as saying that Mugabe has declared war by saying that the bullet has replaced the ballot and so his party the MDC will not be a part of the June 27 vote.
Speaking only hours after the MDC reported its rally had been broken up, Tsvangirai called on the United Nations and the African Union to intervene.
In the March 29 elections, Tsvangirai won 47 percent of the votes and Mugabe 43. The winner has to garner at least 51 percent to take residence at state house in the capital of Harare.
In a quick response to Tsvangirai's announcement, the Zimbabwean government, which has repeatedly denied directing violence and intimidation against the opposition, said it will proceed with the June 27 presidential run-off election unless Tsvangirai formally withdraws from the poll in writing.
Zimbabwe Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa said Tsvangirai must write formally to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, advising that he is withdrawing from the race.
"In which event there will be one candidate, meaning there will not be a poll. If he doesn't, the poll will take place," he said.
Chinamasa refuted allegations that the ruling party had used violence to force the MDC out of the poll.

Russian investors keen on Zimbabwe
News Editor
ZIMBABWE has potential to reap massive economic gains from the Look East Policy as it emerged this week that Russian investors are eager to pump in millions of dollars in foreign currency in different sectors of the country’s economy, Zimbabwe Ambassador to that country, Cde Phelekezela Mphoko said on Friday.
Cde Mphoko said this while addressing members of the business community in Bulawayo that had come to meet President Mugabe during a meet the people programme.
“The President (Mugabe) has spoken of the Look East Policy… It has about US$3 trillion and Russia has about $1 trillion. Russia has billions to invest in Africa including in Zimbabwe,” he said.
Cde Mphoko said Zimbabwe sitting on massive deposits of many minerals of which the country would reap gains through fair business ventures with some countries in Asia.
“Zimbabwe has 13 million tonnes of gold, 2.8 millions tonnes of platinum, 16,5 millions tonnes of diamonds and 500 square kilometres of coal bed methane gas and this is worth more US$600 billion.
“The Russians are ready to invest in this country. I just request a quarter of the companies to facilitate deals with the Russians in the extraction of gold. They have equipment and resources to assist you to mine more gold. The Russians are ready to receive you,” said Cde Mphoko.
Responding to the contribution, President Mugabe confirmed that Government was working with the Russians in effort to revive the economy.
Zimbabwe is one of the richest countries in Southern Africa with vast mineral deposits that are still untapped.
Some players in the economy argue that Zimbabwe does not need donations and handouts from rich western countries, but some “win-win” deals with progressive nations in the East that wanted to see Africa developing.
Scores of business people who contributed during the meeting encouraged the Government to come up with facilities that encourage the people to self-reliant and shun handouts that came with some strings attached. Zimbabwe’s relations with Britain and her allies reached rock bottom after the African country embarked on the historic land reform programme that saw hundreds of people being proud recipients of land – the main means of production.
Zanu-PF argues that it is against this background that Britain set aside a fund through the Westminster Foundation to finance the MDC to effect regime change in Zimbabwe.
However, some analysts argues that there is no way a former coloniser can champion economic empowerment of a country and a people it was suppressing, hence the need to look for economic avenues such the Look East Policy.
Countries such as Russia, the then Union of Soviet Social Republic and China provided weapons, ammunition, and training for Zimbabwe’s liberation movements Zimbabwe People Revolutionary Army(Zipra), and Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (Zanla).
The Government of Zimbabwe is now transforming the military assistance the country received from these countries in the Eastern Bloc into economic gains, much to the chagrin of the West.
However, the “rich friends from the west” the MDC leader, Mr Morgan Tsvangirai had been talking about the oppressive countries that have been fighting Zimbabwe embarking on programmes meant to empower her people.
When unveiling its campaign programme for the presidential run off, Zanu-PF said it was for 100 percent empowerment and total independence.
Already, the Government has come up with laws that would see Zimbabweans coming up consortiums that would see people acquiring at 51 percent stake in all companies that foreign owned.

E' stato rieletto. D'altronde era l'unico candidato...
Comunque io sono contento. Trovo troppo ributtanti quelli che c'erano dall'altra parte (U.S.A., Gran Bretagna, Unione Europea, difensori dei diritti umani a corrente alternata, nemici delle dittature quando non sono appoggiate dai biglietti verdi...) per non tifare per il vecchio autocrate.
D'altronde se non correggerà un po' la rotta e non migliorerà la situazione, non credo che reggerà a lungo; in ogni caso non è un giovincello e prima o poi la natura farà il suo corso. Ma se l'alternativa era una democrazia sotto tutela occidentale (tradotto: un emissario degli Stati Uniti per depredare il paese per conto del padrone), meglio un disastro endogeno di uno esogeno.


Ma dai Peucezio, nella Rhodesia ci sono ancora (pochi) bianchi britannici e persino agricoltori italiani che per colpa di questo mangiabanane marxista da due soldi rischiano di essere uccisi dai suoi guerriglieri. Per il bene della Rhodesia (questo è il vero nome, e non certo Uimbaue) è meglio che gli arrivi una bella bomba in testa a questo pazzo.


Per quanto riguarda i britannici, non perderò certo il sonno pensando che degli inglesi possono venire uccisi.
Se davvero ci sono degli italiani, vista la malaparata dovrebbero prendere e tornarsene qui in Italia, anche perché le sparate del nostro ministro degli esteri non aiutano certo a migliorare le cose. Il fatto che il giudaizzante ultra-atlantista Frattini si sia affrettato subito a dire che bisognerà rivedere i rapporti col paese e che ha addirittura richiamato per chiarimenti l'ambasciatore la dice lunga.
Ripeto: se da una parte ci sono gli inglesi e gli americani (e magari l'Unione Europea), per me stare dall'altra, quale che sia, è assolutamente scontato.
Se dovesse venire torto un capello a un italiano, ne sarò costernato, ma non posso dimenticare il fatto che dove gli italiani hanno colonizzato, si sono fatti amare e le porcate di un Gheddafi in Libia, ai danni dei nostri coloni, porcate rimangono e non possono essere giustificate. Ma quando si va al traino di altri colonizzatori, molto più figli di puttana e sfruttatori di noi, è fatale che si rischi di condividerne anche il destino. Speriamo in bene.
