communist thugs that rule the place. the internet is a powerful tool and the
only way that this madman and his henchmen are going to be brought to justice is
if the whole world gangs up up on them and topples their evil bastion once and
for all. </font></div>

from Zimbabwe sent in by
<i><span style="font-style:italic">John Winter<br></span></i><br>I
reckon that these are the last days of TKM and ZPF. The darkest hour
is</span></font><font face="Arial" color="blue" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:blue;font-family:Arial">
</span></font><font face="Arial" color="black" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;font-family:Arial">always
before dawn.<br><br>We are all terrified at what they are going to
destroy next........I mean they are actually ploughing down brick
and mortar houses and one family with twin boys of 10 had no
chance of salvaging anything when 100 riot police came in with
AK47's and bulldozers and demolished their beautiful house - 5
bedrooms and pine ceilings - because it was 'too close to the
airport', so we are feeling extremely insecure right now.<br><br>You
know - I am aware that this does not help you sleep at night, but if
you do not know - how can you help? Even if you put us in your
own mental ring of light and send your guardian angels to be
with us - that is a help -but I feel so cut off from you all
knowing I cannot tell you what's going on here simply because
you will feel uncomfortable. There is no ways we can leave here so
that is not an option.<br><br>I ask that you all pray for us in the
way that you know how, and let me know that you are thinking of us
and sending out positive vibes... that's all. You can't just be in
denial and pretend/believe it's not going on. <br><br>To be frank
with you, it's genocide in the making and if you do not believe me,
read the Genocide Report by Amnesty International which says we
are - IN level 7 - (level 8 is after it's happened and
everyone is in denial).<br><br>If you don't want me to tell you
these things-how bad it is-then it means you have not dealt with
your own fear, but it does not help me to think you are turning
your back on our situation. We need you, please, to get the
news OUT that we are all in a fearfully dangerous situation here.
Too many people turn their backs and say - oh well, that's what
happens in Africa <br><br>This Government has GONE MAD and you need
to help us publicize our plight---or how can we be rescued? It's a
reality! The petrol queues are a reality, the pall of smoke all
around our city is a reality, the thousands of homeless people
sleeping outside in 0 Celsius with no food, water, shelter and
bedding are a reality. Today a family approached me, brother of
the gardener's wife with two small children. Their home was trashed
and they will have to sleep outside. We already support 8 adult
people and a child on this property, and electricity is going up
next month by 250% as is water.<br><br>How can I take on
another family of 4 -----and yet how can I turn them away to sleep
out in the open?<br><br>I am not asking you for money or a ticket
out of here - I am asking you to FACE the fact that we are in deep
and terrible danger and want you please to pass on our news and
pictures. So PLEASE don't just press the delete button! Help
best in the way that you know how.<br><br>Do face the reality of
what is going on here and help us SEND OUT THE WORD.. The more
people who know about it, the more chance we have of the United
Nations coming to our aid. Please don't ignore or deny what's
happening.<br>Some would like to be protected from the truth BUT
then, if we are eliminated, how would you feel? 'If only we knew how
bad it really was we could have helped in some way'.<br><br>[I know
we chose to stay here and that some feel we deserve what's coming to
us]<br><br>For now,--- we ourselves have food, shelter, a little
fuel and a bit of money for the next meal - but what is going to
happen next? Will they start on our houses? All property is going to
belong to the State now. I want to send out my Title Deeds to
one of you because if they get a hold of those, I can't fight for my
rights.<br><br>Censorship!----We no longer have SW radio [which told
us everything that was happening] because the Government jammed it
out of existence - we don't have any reporters, and no one is
allowed to photograph. If we had reporters here, they would
have an absolute field day. Even the pro-Government Herald has
written that people are shocked, stunned, bewildered and blown
mindless by the wanton destruction of many folks homes, which are
supposed to be 'illegal' but for which a huge percentage actually do
have licenses.<br><br><b><i>Please! - do have some compassion
and HELP by sending out the articles and personal reports so that
something can/may be done.<br></i></b><br>'I am one. I cannot
do everything, ---but I can do something.. And because I cannot do
everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can
do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace
of God, <br>I will do.'<br><br> Edward Everett
Hale<br><br><br>Please send this on to everyone in your address
book. We send jokes out<br>without blinking an eyelid.
We don't get told this on the news in South Africa , we
only get told what they want us to hear. We all have a chance
to do something, even though the something is by pressing forward to
as many people as possible. Let's stop talking and let's start
doing! There is power in prayer, there is also power in more
people knowing about this than you in my address book. This is
going to America
, Dubai , Australia , France , South Africans all over
South Africa ,
the UK . By forwarding
this to all in my address book I have done something. The
world needs to know what is going
on.</span></font></p></div>
