Wonder what $400 million in southern african credits look like? Probably a lot like those $billions in vouchers that uncle bob is passing around to the green bombers and the army. Im sure that these credits would be good for things like the farm inputs that the Zanuobos sold over the border; buying back hundreds of millions of foreign aid with imaginary money sounds like a wonderful plan. The boyz could just go over the border and turn it back into real cash. This would even prop up the imaginary farm credits which would lead to… [Read Full Text]

Dear Readers , There is a climate in America and the financial world that secretly has been

"cooking the books" while they rob us. For example most financial information that is

reported only focuses on "The Budget ". A Budget is the amount of money we would

need to run our household on a specific time schedule (e.g. weekly budget, monthly

budget, yearly budget ).

When they tell us they have a "Budget Deficit ", they are actually saying they don't have

enough money for the specific period the Budget is… [Read Full Text]

I too am inspired by the verse and prayer that you have cited. However, I am sorry to say that your first few paragraphs are economic nonsense. The comparison you appear to be reaching for is that of the "profit and loss statement" in contrast to the "balance sheet".

The first is comparable to a government's budget (though usually backward looking rather than forward), the second more akin to the national accounts, the usual measure being growth or otherwise of GDP.

Regrettably, Zimbabwe rates very lowly on either measure. I will not pretend to understand African custom or tradition. However… [Read Full Text]

I can see what Bobs going to say, The MDC has let the country down, we won't be able to feed our selves( Lines our back pockets). It is all the fault of the imperialistic west. We want unity according to the gospel of Robert Mugabe and nothing else will do. We the people(ZanuPF terrorists) need to show the world that we are a strong , vibrant and resilliant nation and until there is unity,(Death to the MDC) there will not be any progress(Decimation). This is why the outside world won't deal with the terrorist dictator. Simple solution, Bob must… [Read Full Text]

So Business Day comes with the same report as SW radio. It's clear Zola as long as the monster Mugabe and Zanu are around there will be no progress in Zimbabwe. This stupid GNU doesn't work offcourse. SA most probably wanted rest at the border, at least till the worldcup of soccer is over. That also gives the answer what the perfect moment for an uprising would be against criminal Mugabe. Odinga can tell you where a GNU brought him and his country after Kibaki stole the election. A dead end street is a dead end street no matter how… [Read Full Text]
