From Cathy Buckle…

Letter from Zimbabwe

Author of “African Tears” discusses the situation between police and civilians in Zimbabwe.

Cathy Buckle*

Dear Family and Friends,

Zimbabwe has been engulfed in a macabre and tragic frenzy this week and frankly, it beggars belief. Across the country what has been called a “Taskforce” has been unleashed by the government  to force shop owners and  businesses to cut their prices by 50%. The price cut enforcers are army men in  camouflage clothes, police in uniform and large numbers of youth militia. They go from shop to shop and simply pick on items they want reduced:

Slash that price, is the phrase we are hearing again and again and then products have to be sold  for less than they were purchased for. Shop owners who refuse to cut the prices face arrest and having their goods seized. Some have been assaulted, others had their premises trashed and windows smashed.

The result of it all, inevitably, is rapid collapse and many goods and foods have now become completely unavailable including all the staples which were already difficult to find such as flour, oil, sugar, salt and maize meal. Joining the list now are most other normal household products in daily use such as soap, candles, matches, milk, eggs, margarine, rice, bread and the list grows longer by the hour and day. As the prices are ordered down hordes of people with bagfuls of money swarm behind and buy up all the stocks. Shops are displaying signs announcing that only one of each item may be purchased but entire gangs are moving around in dozens and just cleaning everything out.

This week in my home town, all types of meat have become completely unavailable as butchers were ordered to sell for less than half the price they had paid to abattoirs. One supermarket in the centre of the town was empty of all goods by mid week, another two were not far behind – both saying they expected to be out of business in the next few days – a week at most. In both of these outlets there were aisle after aisle of completely empty shelves. It was heartbreaking to see pensioners and desperately poor people looking for bargains but finding none and then looking for basics and finding none of those either.

Outside a major wholesaler, groups of young men stood around waiting for the “militia taskforce” to arrive so that they could buy up everything as the prices were slashed. The car park was nearly full of luxury vehicles – pajero’s, twin cabs, SUVs. even a Lexus – all filled with men talking incessantly on cellphones and women in tight jeans and artificial hair – their vehicles already bulging with “slashed price” goods, many pulling trailers also stuffed to overflowing.

I went to one almost empty supermarket and stopped near a young policeman in a pick up truck without number plates that was loaded to the hilt with “slashed price” goods. It was a bitterly cold morning and a barefoot and slightly retarded man was sitting on the tar shaking and shivering with cold. He stretched his hands up to the policeman and said: “Chingwa” (Bread). The policeman ignored him and turned away, calling out cheerfully to another young policeman, also in uniform, who was staggering out with more booty. Again the shivering and barefoot man asked for bread but they both ignored him. I could not stop tears filling my eyes and although I had virtually nothing left I bent down and folded a note into his hand; he clapped his hands in thanks and as I stood up I caught the eye of the young policeman. There was no compassion or empathy there, just arrogance. For a moment I remembered how it felt after the farmers and their workers had been thrown off and someone had helped me when I was utterly desperate. He had said to me: There but for the grace of God go I.

Now there are so many more in that place of need.

All week as the situation has deteriorated people have been comparing what is happening now to shops and businesses with what happened to farms. A huge crisis seems just a few days or perhaps a couple of weeks away, as stocks dwindle, warehouses empty and we simply run out of food. As I write this letter the government are continuing to applaud the price cuts and say they will take over the businesses that close down.

      Mugabe’s economic theft

      Jack, a regular Moneyweb contributor, offers new insights into the Zimbabwean disaster
      Jack*
      16 Jul 2007 10:20

      Eustace is quite right. We should thank Mugabe for providing the laboratory in which he tested the classically bad policies, in the extreme… and to the point of destruction. Our luck is that his experiments play out in such a simply constructed agricultural economy that we are able to observe with huge clarity the economic principles at work. (Read Eustace’s article: If you love liberty, thank Robert Mugabe)

      This is textbook stuff.

      In economics 101, we are all exposed to a list of the negative effects of inflation, the one being an implicit transfer of value away from savers. To me it always had that cynical ring of conspiracy theory about it. That was until uncle Bob enthralled us with his new economics.

      Uncle Bob illustrated many economic principles for our benefit, particularly the futility and corruption underlying (all) PRICE CONTROLS.

      He set up his experiment by first destroying his tax base and his export sector, all in one foul sweep, courtesy of his devastating land redistribution programme. This initiative was the desperate attempt of a despot to buy loyalty through confiscating land and distributing it amongst his cronies.

      Mugabe’s interventions soon led to major constraints on the production side of the economy – not only in agriculture, but in mining and manufacturing as well.

      Having thus run out of foreign currency earnings, and a collapse of his tax base, Mugabe suffered an increasingly large budget deficit. He set out to fund his activities by simply printing money. The effect was very clear: created buying power from nothing, clearly undermining the value of the currency in circulation. This soon showed up in inflation data and the exchange rate started collapsing. As Mugabe became politically more desperate, he printed more money, in increasing amounts, to keep his henchmen happy. This drained the economy of value, ultimately impoverishing those who did not directly benefit from his largess.

      Debasing your currency in the name of inflation and paying your officials good salaries, even in the midst of abject poverty, may still have some ring of legitimacy to it, depending how far you take it, and whom you speak to. Mbeki certainly saw no evil.

      Mugabe’s penchant for ARBITRARY AND DISCRIMINATIVE PRICE FIXING became another interesting ethical challenge. Through these policies he created wonderful opportunities of arbitrage for his cronies and confiscated wealth from the rest.

      He created special pricing structures for some, whether it was for petrol, interest rates or exchange rates.

      Mugabe’s innovations in the financial systems included a system where prime lending rates were set well below the bank rate – due to what dealers said were “political pressures.” These measures were carefully designed to provide “succour” to a struggling populace, but had little observable positive effect, as commercial banks pretty much stopped lending to individuals altogether.

      Mugabe’s penchant for the arbitrary fixing of prices and the offering of subsidies included a scheme in which the government was selling a litre of fuel to public transporters at a rate nearly 10 times lower than the price of bottled water. The helping hand of Mugabe’s regime included a scheme in which the government bought a ton of the staple maize meal from farmers at Z$52 500 (R1 598) a ton and sold it at Z$600 a ton to milling firms.

      Mugabe’s system of official exchange rates, as distinct from the black market rates, created an additional tax system where exporters were paid at the official rate, while Mugabe’s regime effectively benefited at (black) market rates.

      For a while exporters were compelled to sell 30 percent of their foreign currency earnings at an outdated OFFICIAL RATE. In a bid to “support growth” in the export sector, Zimbabwe’s central bank announced a new system whereby exporters were obliged to liquidate earnings at the INTERBANK EXCHANGE RATE – less than half the PARALLEL MARKET RATE.

      Being paid at unrealistic exchange rates amounted to a huge tax at revenue level, discouraging exporters from increasing production, therefore only deepening the current account and budget deficits.

      Mugabe would soon extended these privileges to his cronies.

      Mugabe created incentives for his cronies in the form of low interest rates, for agricultural purposes for example. These ostensibly credible incentives turned out to be nothing more than arbitrage opportunities that serve to enrich Mugabe’s cronies.

      Last week the The Sunday Times of London reported than Mugabe had created an elite of around 5000 benefiting from the situation and there are enough of them in high places to maintain the status quo. They enjoy privileges ranging from fuel vouchers to access to beneficial interest rates and exchange rates.

      A litre of fuel for the privileged costs just Z$400, while everyone else will pay Z$185000.

      In order to cope with the sheer volume of money printing going on, BEARER CHEQUES, essentially money printed on ordinary paper, were introduced in 2003, as a temporary expedient. These bearer cheques were printed in increasingly large denomination to ease critical cash shortages. Central bank press releases introduced these new notes as being “for the convenience” of Zimbabweans.

      These notes were not valid for long, having short expiry dates, therefore discouraging hording … or saving.

      In August 2006 an extraordinary phenomena was observed. Zimbabweans had gone on a shopping spree, scooping up everything from luxury cars to livestock, driving price inflation even higher than before.

      The loosening of wallets had been spurred not because the nation’s economic crisis had ended, but rather over fears that it would get worse. Gideon Gono, the nation’s central bank governor, announced on July 31 that residents had three weeks to convert their bills to a new currency that had three fewer zeros.

      “From tomorrow, the 1st of August 2006, three zeroes are being taken off every bearer cheque (bank note) which introduces a new family of bearer cheques. That makes much more sense and I hope dollars as well,” Gideon Gono, the bank’s governor said in a televised address.

      “It returns to us stability and convenience and of course this is just one monetary mechanism to help make commerce and everyday life more convenient,” Gono said.

      Gono continued: “I am of the particular opinion that ordinary Zimbabweans must be commended for their resilience through the challenges they’ve had to face with the many zeroes they’ve had to pronounce.”

      These measures were ultimately aimed at punishing and sterilising the cash holding of hoarders – black market traders.

      The announcement caught many people off guard.

      The shopping spree was triggered by a rush to beat an August 21 deadline to swap old banknotes for redenominated Zimbabwe dollars.

      During the transition, individuals were barred from depositing old notes in banks in excess of Z$100 million (R2.8 million at the time) unless they could show that they acquired the funds legitimately.

      Gono said trillions of Zimbabwe dollars were stashed in homes to aid black market deals. Border patrols intercepted billions in old banknotes from black market traders trying to enter the country before the deadline.

      These requirements left many holding large sums of cash, which they rushed out to convert into assets.

      A Harare man was reported to have paid Z$100 billion in cash for 10 luxury cars, attracting the attention of law enforcement. Groceries in large quantity, construction materials and anything else that could in future be resold were on the shopping list.

      The central bank banned all cash transactions above Z$100 million after discovering that some people were stocking anything from cellphones to sweets, just to dispose of their cash.

      Gono made it illegal to travel with more than Z$100 million, yet many people had school fees of more than Z$300 million at the time. Zimbabwe’s state-owned press said police had arrested thousands of people and confiscated trillions of old Zimbabwe dollars as they mounted nationwide roadblocks to search for currency.

      Some joked that desperation to get rid of old banknotes could drive people to offer billions for a whole village. Certainly, many bought cattle and maize at a premium from unsuspecting villagers.

      These poor rural people, who had been Mugabe’s biggest supporters, were swindled out of their assets by smart city people, or otherwise had their life savings confiscation or rendered completely sterile by laws they did not know about, or did not comprehend.

      In Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, it was not only inflation that robbed people of their savings.

      Unless you were secure in your personal alliance with Mugabe, life became increasingly dangerous. For his cronies however, being one of Mugabe’s thugs became increasingly profitable.

      But the principle mechanism of enriching the elite is though the system of duel exchange rates. Mugabe’s cronies have access to foreign currency at the official exchange rate. This allows them to purchase dollars at the official rate of Z$250 to the US-dollar, selling it on the black market at over Z$3000 to the dollar.

      This arbitrage position, legislated and administered by Mugabe, allows his cronies to effectively print money and has the effect of transferring vast amount of value away from other holders of the Zim dollar, to themselves.

      The article by Cathy Buckle, titled, “Letter from Zimbabwe”, best describes the way these people flaunt their wealth and power, and continue to plunder the economy.

      She describes the scene where Mugabe’s cronies coordinate with criminals and police to exploit the latest laws declared by Mugabe, to enrich themselves:

      “Zimbabwe has been engulfed in a macabre and tragic frenzy this week and frankly, it beggars belief. Across the country what has been called a “Taskforce” has been unleashed by the government to force shop owners and businesses to cut their prices by 50%.

      “Outside a major wholesaler, groups of young men stood around waiting for the “militia taskforce” to arrive so that they could buy up everything as the prices were slashed. The car park was nearly full of luxury vehicles – pajero’s, twin cabs, SUVs. even a Lexus – all filled with men talking incessantly on cellphones and women in tight jeans and artificial hair – their vehicles already bulging with “slashed price” goods, many pulling trailers also stuffed to overflowing.”

      What Mugabe has demonstrated, in the extreme, is how GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION per se are the policies of stealth – the processes designed to surreptitiously siphon value away, for the ultimate benefit of those in power. The example of Robert Mugabe’s regime should focus our minds on the dangers of ARBITRARY AND DISCRIMINATIVE PRICE FIXING, in whatever form, be it interest rates, exchange rates, subsidies or discounts, or any other discriminative interventions into the workings of the market. The suffering of the people of Zimbabwe should teach us the inevitable dangers of discriminatory laws, as these inevitably facilitate favouritism and nepotism, and all kinds of preferential arrangements that constitute state abuse by a powerful elite.

      And finally, as you know, no lesson in economics can be complete before us have considered the “trickle down” effects. As our economists always hasten to remind, what goes up must come down and creating a rich elite, through policies like BeEEeee and other, do eventually trickle down to benefit the grass roots.

      The Sunday Times (of London) tells of a young teacher who prostitutes her body to Mugabe’s thugs to simply earn enough money to survive.

      “There, she sits at the bar in clubs, waiting for a proposition. There is no shortage of takers.

      “Ministers,” she whispers, “or Zanu big men.”

      “While the vast majority of Zimbabweans are struggling, to survive on less than R15 a week – “We’re not even have-nots,” she says, “we’re have-nothings” – these paunchy men in striped suits knocking back shots of malt whisky are finding that things have never been so good.

      “Not only government ministers and officials from the ruling Zanu-PF party, but also top police and army officers and High Court judges have been cleverly woven into Mugabe’s patronage system, benefiting hugely from his despotic rule.

      “Many have been allotted property that was violently seized from white farmers. But their real wealth comes from access to foreign exchange at less than 1000th of the rate on the streets.

      “This enables them to buy expensive vehicles such as the Hummers, S-class Mercedes’ and Toyota Prado’s that fill the hotel car park – one of which will whisk her to a lodge on the edge of town.”

    6. New America Says:

      Someone said a younger Cathy Buckle was a firm supporter of a “democratic Rhodesia,” that is to say, Zimbabwe.

      When it was Rhodesia, it was a Light on the Dark Continent.

      Well, Ms. Buckle still does not seem to have learned the RACIAL lesson that is being played out before her eyes, seeing Mugabe as the source of all evil, ignoring the fact that there is no White leader in sight.

      And, for those who point to South Africa, I simply note it will take a little longer for the Levelers to bring to the level of Zimbabwe’ indeed, there is serious doubt that soccer’s World Cup will be played in Durban when it is supposed to, so lawless is South Africa.

      An elegant answer presents itself to the dilemma of the commercial farmers, skilled tradesmen, and knowledge workers of Zimbabwe, AND South Africa, all WHITE people (ah, but I repeat myself. We knew that, didn’t we? yes.)

      The answer is…

      MOVE.

      “Where to, as we can not immigrate to America or England – we are too White!”

      “MOVE to the Krasnodar region of Russia. Move to the fertile soil, productive economic, and an environment of your WHITE European brethren. Your agricultural and productive skills will serve you well, and they will be appreciated. The upgrading of the power grids and the railroad system in preparation for the Winter Olympics, to be held in Sochi, are all further proof that a brighter, White future is yours, in the Russian Federation.”

      You think I’m kidding?

      Hell, I’d get some Antonov heavy lifters to come down, and just flat move the entire Tribe to the new Promised Land.

      The alternative is White Genocide, something Cathy Buckle seems reluctant to consider.

      That’s fine.

      She’ll be considering it, all too often, all too soon.

      It’s not Mugabe, and it’s not “socialism,” Ms. Buckle.

      It’s RACE – First, Foremost, Forever – as you are about to find out.

      Tell Cathy that it’s not going to get any better, any time soon; quite the contrary.

      Again, Krasnodar beckons, and with it, a wonderful, prosperous future with your European brethren.

      Move as soon as you can, Cathy.

      Today would be fine.

      Words of wisdom regarding the race traitor Catherine Buckle:

      9 August 2001

      I’ll explain this in simple terms for the white North American females who read our horrid racist pages with clucking disapproval. Catherine Buckle’s problem is simplicity itself. SHE HAS NO WHITE SOLDIERS TO PROTECT HER. That’s because she helped betray them and their cause twenty years ago. What she wouldn’t give now to see Eric Thomson, Thomas Chittum, Harold A. Covington and the Rhodesian SAS reappear. But they’re all long gone. The Rhodesian Army is no more. The white foreign volunteers who once flocked to Salisbury are scattered to the four winds. Instead she and her family are receiving the eternal unchanging reward of the race traitor. I’ll have to be honest here. It’s very difficult for me to feel much sympathy for this sell-out traitor who tried to do a deal with the enemy at the expense of her own kind. She is truly a study in pathos. She did it to herself and her family.

      I’m even confused about why anyone would write such a book or issue such a call. Who does this shit-for-brains librarian think is going to respond? The whites in South Africa, perhaps? Guess again Catherine. The whites in South Africa no longer control the police or military forces. And they’re getting the same treatment you are. Perhaps she thought Tony Blair would come to the rescue? After 50 years of betraying whites in Africa, did this peawit actually think Tony Blair’s Brit-ZOG would send the British SAS and the Parachute Regiment to help her now? It’s not going to happen. The kikes’ investments in gold and diamonds in South Africa are all safe. They won’t let Blair do anything that might endanger that. Blair’s too busy importing Buckle’s precious negroids into Britain so whites there can enjoy what whites in Rhodesia have already experienced. Perhaps she thinks negroids Colin Powell and Condolezzi Rice are going to send General Shinseki and the US Army Circus to save her butt? Or is she dreaming she’ll strike a chord of conscience in negroid UN Secretary General Kofi Anan?

      Did Catherine Buckle think there was any possible result other than enraging the syphilitic negroid Mugabe she once betrayed her people to? Catherine Buckle’s entire behavior may be symptomatic of fatally defective genetics of her own. First she helps undermine the white soldiers and army that were protecting her from her current tormentors. Now after they’re gone she writes books and issues calls no one listens to for outside military intervention. The only possible result could be to further enrage the negroids she struggled to raise to supreme power. This is a classic case of suicidal White Liberal Female Syndrome.

      The above is what FAEM is trying to warn all of you about before it’s too late. If you are North American white liberal female with the above symptoms, seek treatment immediately. Get help now before you too betray your entire community, your family and are left to experience Catherine Buckle’s fate. Contact us privately. We’ll get you enrolled in a caring educational treatment program. Discretion and anonymity are assured.

      In the philosophical scheme of the ages there’s much justice in the above, unfortunately. Rhodesia was the home of Churchill’s assistant genocidal maniac, Arthur “Bomber” Harris. Harris was the Commander in Chief of Bomber Command in the Second War to Kill White People. It was Harris who rained down incendiary death on white German women and children to make the world safe for Judeo-Communism. Well, Judeo-Communism has now come to ex-Rhodesia complete with “Burning Plastic”. “The millstones of the gods’ justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.”

    9. New America Says:

      It seems my “post above” isn’t quite there, yet…

      In it, I cited an Internet rumor that Cathy Buckle was one of the supporters of the democratic transformation of Rhodesia into Zimbabwe.

      She seems to ignore the absolute collapse of Civilization in the presence of the rule of the goddamn niggers; rather like some of our cities at night, come to think of it…

      It’s not going to get any better; already, the selection of Durban for soccer’s World Cup is in danger of collapsing, as the crime rate is simply astronomical, and getting worse.

      And so it will go for the sub-Sahara today, and all of the continent, tomorrow.

      A solution presents itself to the commercial farmers, skilled tradesmen, and knowledge workers of Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

      Move.

      Move to the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation.

      Serious infrastructure improvements are well under way. The power grid and railroads are being upgraded in preparation for the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

      The people who will surround you are YOUR people; WHITE, European Russians, who will share your Western values, as well as your White RACE.

      Hell, if I were Cathy, I would get some big Antonov’s down there tomorrow, throw all the families in, and move as soon as possible.

      Any fool can see the RACE WAR has been underway throughout the region, and the issue is not “Mugabe,” or “socialism.”

      The problem is – two words – “goddamn niggers.”

      Hell, look at OUR black run cities at night.

      Of course, “socialism,” “Mugabe,” and “goddamn niggers’ are all symptoms of the disease called Jews.

      No worry about THAT in Krasnodar, either!

      Run for your life, Cathy.

      While you can…

    10. confederate Says:

      hmm. let me see what we have here. negroes free to govern themselves and they choose proven failed marxist economic and social theories. fantasy theories really. and, when they put them into practice, naturally, they fail on a scale never seen before. except the last time negroes were free to govern themselves. for example, zimbabwe, south africa, detroit, new york, atlanta, new orleans…(and the list will , in the future where negroes govern – or more precisely, mis-govern, – continue to grow).

      naturally, the evil, white racist, blue eyed devil, will be called upon to save the negro from itself or risk condemnation and be called a racist. however, this is what whitey was called when whitey did not allow these intellectually inferior animals to govern the countries and cities that they are allowed to mis-govern now.

      i suppose the moral of story is that;

      if you want to confuse and piss-off a nigger, just give it everything it wants. then sit back and wait. this technique is always good for a laugh.

YOUR ass would be hung drawn and quartered in a pair of seconds !!! Those parasites are second in line with the PROFESSORS of DIVINITY LAW being FIRST…Remember COMMIE Harvard was a RELIGIOUS COLLEGE as it’s initial founding !!! Many others were, also … American University is THE most commie ANTI American University IN “AMERICA”….EVEN CASTRO declares it his home away from home !! Anyone seeing any FRAUD here??

      A further observation for the essentially doomed Cathy Buckle:

      A Great Man observed, in so many words, that if the demonic goddamn JEWS took over the planet, it would be a soulless world that revolved around the Sun.

      Soulless, dark, and bleak.

      That’s pretty much what the hook-nosed Satanists have done with their goddamn nigger attack animals in Rhodesia, TO Rhodesia, in general, and the White people in Rhodesia, in particular.

      South Africa is well under way, as well, for the same reason; the demonic Jews hiding behind their attack animals, the crackhead niggers.

      Can you think of certain American cities that are not all that far from this state of affairs, – soulless, dark, evil, and the triumph of demons – especially at night?

      Yes.

      Yes, you can.

    16. Stronza Says:

      “Who dat” mentions the churches chasing after mixed b & w congregations.

      Well, not all white people are that stupid. This happened only a few years ago: There is a Ukrainian Catholic church in the Detroit area that was pure Ukie-white for years. However, in keeping with the “reforms” of Vatican II, they changed to all-English services. Then blacks started coming to the Church. The old-time church members didn’t want them there, so they – with or without the bishop’s approval I don’t know – went back to 100% Ukrainian-language service, including the sermon. So, the blacks understood that they were not welcome there. (Not very Christian of them, is it…)

      Let us shed no tears for the Buckle bitch, for she worked her White ass off to bring about nigger rule, and now she and her ilk are reaping the benefits of it.
      To hell with her! But let this be a lesson in racial reality for White liberal females everywhere.

    19. Scipio Americanus Says:

      New America:

      It is no rumor but a fact that Catherine Buckle actively undermined the government and armed forces of former White controlled Rhodesia decades ago in favor of the black dominated nightmare-world that it is today. This was covered in detail at FAEM.COM. [Please read “Maguire’s” commentary above.] She and other traitorous white-hating “Liberals” in Rhodesia were intoxicated on Judeo-Marxist hooch and the insane, suicidal doctrine that “there is no race but one — the human race.” Indeed, this psuedo-intellectual prostitute actually swallowed that hogwash as well as the notion that the Congoids of Rhodesia would behave differently when in power based on the fact that they had been treated well by the Whites of Rhodesia. Now that her fantasies have come to naught, she and her ilk call for outside intervention to “fix” the catastrophe that she and her fellow race traitors agitated and conspired to deliver. SCREW HER! In fact, it would be a form of cosmic justice if that two-bit whore for the Judeo-Liberal Establishment was devoured by the hate-crazed beast Mugabe and his minions who currently control that once civilized nation. I feel not an ounce of compassion for Catherine Buckle and her compatriots. None! Zero! zip! zilch! And neither should you nor anyone who reads her pathetic pleas.

      Cathy doesn’t understand jews were and are 100% the reason Rhodesia and any sanity no longer exist there any more.

      For any one who has not read this from 1973 please do.

      in reply to Scipio Americanus:

      Thank you for your insights, and pointing out the importance of the “Maguire” Commentary.

      I was thinking about why Buckle’s piece was so disturbing, and I realized it is a micrcocosm of our current situation, with all of the facades removed, save the facade behind which the goddamn Jews hide.

      Now, recall Metzger’s Insight concerning the role of the illegals, the Coloreds, and the demonic Jews:

      They are parasites, and only live in the presence of decay.

      They are just doing their “job,” such as it is.

      They are the indicia that we have failed to further develop the tremendous spiritual heritage that is our birthright, or push forward the boundaries of our Civilization.

      For this, regardless of anything else he may have ever said or done, Metzger goes to the head of the class.

      In short, while I am the first to believe that we must Do Something, we can not so much blame the illegals, Coloreds, and demonic Jews for being what they are, as blame ourselves for not having Done Something about it, when we could, when it would have been easy to do so.

      This does not mean I am becoming soft, weak, or tolerant; quite the contrary.

      This means my focus is on the things the men (and women) of the West can uniquely do, and must do, routinely, to a much greater degree than they thought possible.

      I see Buckle’s Childish exercise in projection, when she chose black-run Zimbabwe over White-ruled Rhodesia, as a state of mind not unlike our own “peace and love” generation of the Sixties, who became the “tolerant” (which is indifference under a different name) parents of the Eighties. “If we wish it so, we can make it so.”

      Wrong, and dumb, Ms. Buckle.

      Today, we see the beginnings of the logical Outcome of this state of affairs, and, my, but doesn’t Zimbabwe’s future resemble ours in so many *ahem* “exciting” ways?

      I’ve been rereading some of the writings on social dynamics in the formation and development of Civilization, and I see the human prospect, writ small, in biological terms – predator, prey, parasite, and Creator/symbiont.

      The parasite is the sign of decay, and death.

      We can LEARN from this.

      I took the organizational chart of my last place of employment – a larger company – and rewrote it in terms of biological economics – is someone, in terms of the Organization (in that case). Thus, the new organization chart now suddenly resembled something out of an exercise in value-added accounting…

      I then applied this idea to the situation of Ms. Buckle, in Rhodesia, and Zimbabwe.

      Look at it as an exercise in organizational design, map the resource flows, and see which elements add value, and how, and why, they do this.

      This requires some brutally honest thinking about “value” in the context of Civilization, but stick with me; it all ties into Metzger’s Insight, more than I would have dared thought, and our Future.

      What is missing is the recognition that some process – some people who think and ACT a certain way – adding value to resources in the process of Civilization, and the development of the Family, which is the RACE in microcosm, and the development of the RACE, which is the Family, in macrocosm.

      Simply stated, it is very easy to turn Rhodesia into Zimbabwe.

      Benign neglect, alone, can do that; the inversion of the proper ordering of relationships – the adoption, promulgation, and enforcement of the “wrong” values – is simply shoveling coal into a runaway train.

      Past a certain point, the engine will explode, or the train will run off of the tracks, or both.

      It is virtually impossible to turn Zimbabwe back into Rhodesia.

      It is virtually impossible to turn New South Africa into South Africa.

      THAT is why I suggested one and all of the value-added sector of the population – the WHITE people (ah, but I repeat myself…), call the government of Krasnodar TODAY, and get into the Antonovs…

      While they can.

      Now, the good part.

      It is impossible to turn Detroit back into the Detroit that was the model for the world in terms of industrial development.

      It is impossible to – you get the idea, for all of America that was.

      THAT is why I have been so amazed at the insights of Harold Covington; he just GETS IT, he understand the Big Picture, and sees which option includes ALL positive choices for us, at ALL levels of Society.

      At the conceptual level, the Northwest Republic Model solves so many problems, in part because it faces the issues before us head-on, without one ounce of Illusion.

      I note “Maguire’s” mentioning Covington had fought FOR Rhodesia, and that would certainly explain Covington’s anger at those who can not accept even discussing the idea of a Northwest Republic.

      This adds an element of veracity to the Northwest Republic Analysis; he has SEEN what I means the minute we step back from a policy of intelligent defense, and measured expansion, in the fulfillment of our RACIAL destiny, and our duties to our Family, and our RACE.

      I remember listening to VNN’s Free Talk Live some weeks back, after April Gaede had been interviewed, and someone – Mark in Cali? – was describing what an absolute Hell life was in in southern California.

      My thought was, “WHY would a young, single person chose to remain in Hell, when damn near Heaven is so close to hand? Why not move to Kalispell, Montana, for a while, and see what it is like to live in what could easily be an integral part of a White Homeland?”

      I am not alone in this; listen to truckers describe the moving wall of U-HAUL trailers and trucks filling the parking lots at the gasoline stations out of California, in general, and Southern California, in particular. Hell, it’s a damn Exodus – THEY have seen The Future that Cathy Buckle could not have imagined.

      And, that takes us back to our beginning.

      Buckle, and her cohorts, adopted the values chosen for them by their RACIAL Enemies. With the certainty of moral superiority, they cheered on the predators, and the parasites, all in the name of “Equality.”

      They have become the Prey, surrounded on all sides by those who wish them ill.

      And now, Class, your Homework Question:
      How are so many of us, so different, from so many of them?

      Bonus Question:
      What can we do about it, what should we do about it, and why?

      Hint:
      All answers must explicitly address the issues in the framework of Positive RACISM, which Family as the microcosm of the RACE, and RACE as the microcosm of the Family.

      Bonus points if your discussion includes an analysis of how the Northwest Republic could deal with the issues.

      1) niggers
      2) lack of white input
      3) nigger input

      If Buckel is trying to invoke sympathy from whites ( who are the only ones on the planet that can fix this nigger induced hell) well here, It’s my middle finger
