Back to Mugabe — Russia and China are Friends in High Places.

July 25th, 2008

“No matter the color, no matter the place, once men, women and children are sufficiently dehumanized by the regime in power, the results are always the same. The slaughter will take on a determined fortitude that evolves into a frenzy and does not abate until exhaustion or outside intervention brings it to a screeching halt. This is the burden of no single group. It is a burden that we all must bear because it is the darkest legacy of our humanity: homicidal xenophobia.

But there are those who have explanations, which are that we who believe the worst are all suffering from hallucinations or the false reporting of the Western media, known for exaggerating minor problems. This has always been a tactic of Marxist murderers from Lenin to Stalin, and around the world. Blood is cleaned off of the murder weapons with a rag covered in “revolutionary” slogans. We must understand that they didn’t have a choice. The West has always forced this upon them. It was only done to protect the future of the nation, and so on and on.”
