Zimbabwe: The Latest Mugabe trick which fooled the Media including Tsvangirai & The City Press

I want to refer people to an article I wrote over 5 years ago about Mugabe's trickery to show you that the old bastard plays people for idiots all the time with his tricks.

I swear, if I did not hate Mugabe so much, I'd be the first to form the Robert Mugabe Fan Club. That bloody old snake still runs rings around the kids and plays everyone for a fool. Mugabe must surely sit in his office and get news and intelligence reports and sit back with a big grin on his face thinking how completely STUPID everyone else in southern Africa is and how many times he's pulled rabbits out of hats and fooled hundreds of millions of people at a time. No wonder, as Kevin Woods says, his senior people think of themselves as GODS!

Let me digress for a minute: I must say, the Far Left of the Political Spectrum in South Africa, the Communists and COSATU are too bloody amazing as well! The entire basis and foundation for their politics is falling away right from under their feet and then they run around pretending to be something different. I find the SACP and COSATU critiques of Robert Mugabe quite funny actually - and the Black masses of South Africa are completely stupid enough to believe they are sincere!! The very man they are criticising is doing that which they will do in this country the minute and second they get a chance! You would have thought the Far Left, being completely and utterly bankrupt and without any logical basis for their completely hollow political and economic theories would all have run off and put a gun to their heads to blow their stupid brains out. But we are not that fortunate. Instead, without missing a heart beat they criticise Mugabe for doing the very things that they want to do! Talk about chutzpah!!

I want to draw your attention to Mr Sparks, known for his leftist views. He wrote a recent article that I want to quote from. See: Zimbabwe's military feels the heat

I quote as follows:-
... Ten days ago, City Press published a question-and-answer interview with MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai in which it managed to bury an item of singular newsworthiness at the tail-end of a 2 000-word report.

In what should have been its front page lead, the newspaper quoted Tsvangirai as saying he knew on the Sunday following the March 29 election that the MDC had won, and that the next day an emissary from Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF came to see him.

"On Monday they sent an emissary to say we have been trying to persuade Mugabe to concede," Tsvangirai said. "Mugabe has accepted, now the question is how can you accommodate us? They even suggested, why don't you give Mugabe a role for six months? We said: 'No. He should go and retire.'"

Asked what went wrong, Tsvangirai replied: "I think what went wrong is this: some of the hawks in the military said we can't accept transfer of power and that's when the problem started. The hawks in the military, the hawks in Zanu-PF, were not prepared to accept the verdict of the people. I think they regrouped and went to Mugabe, and Mugabe, being a hawk himself, found a constituency." ...

Robert Mugabe is hard at work rebuilding his broken chain of command, and it seems to now be functioning again. At this rate, if the MDC aren't careful, they will be cheated out of another election. What will it be? The 3rd or perhaps even the 4th time that Mugabe has cheated them out of an honest victory since 2000. Look at this news report and shudder folks: 'There is going to be a run-off' Scary stuff... After more than a month of cooking the books and finally cooking them the way he wanted... and while ducking and diving over other issues, Mugabe goes back to the thing he originally wanted - the run-off where he will cheat everyone blind and "win the Presidency". Thank God the MDC said it would not be part of this charade. Of course Mugabe may just hold this fake run-off without them and Mbeki, being the completely filthy snake that he is, will support Mugabe. Then piously, being the complete fakes that they are, they will declare that "Democracy" has won the day!

The only valid course of action for the MDC is to stand its ground and NOT be drawn into a fake run off. Rest assured, with Mugabe's reconstructed chain of command, and his newly oiled cheating mechanisms in place, a run-off will ensure that Tsvangirai is once more cheated out of his rightful place as Zimbabwe's President. Tsvangirai should consider approaching the Guinness Book of World Records because there must be a unique category for him as the man who won the most presidential elections and who never got to be President for even a single day!

Mugabe and Mbeki, being the complete filth that they are, will stand behind all these fake results and lecture the world about "the rule of law" and "democracy" and "African independence" and "Western interference" and such complete hogwash. They will stand firm behind their wall of synchronised lies. They will then of course tell the MDC to take part or lose out. But people must not be fooled by this fake act. The MDC has no choice folks. The WORLD knows this is a fake act. Britain knows. America knows. All of Europe knows. The MDC must stand firm. It will lead to confrontation, but I've said for years there is no other way for any reasonable and sane man to behave. This is what it boils down to. THEY LEAVE YOU NO OTHER CHOICE!

Mugabe was determined to win in 2008. Look at what he said in 2007: SA: Cheating Mugabe adamant to win 2008 elections

I have explained why his cheating did not work: EXCLUSIVE: Zim: Why Mugabe's Election rigging failed in 2008 - His real support is under 10%

I want to return you to the discussion mentioned above by Mr Sparks which the City Press had.

You will recall that recently I mentioned that the ANC never tells you that it does not want to do something - whether it is administering anti-Retrovirals for AIDS or dealing with Mugabe. Instead, the ANC likes to hide behind legal-sounding (totally bogus) excuses. I likened the ANC to a woman. She does not tell you she does not want to do something. Instead she invents all sorts of excuses. Its not that she doesn't "want to", but, she says, she "can't". The ANC does not say: I do not want to do this, or I oppose this. It always says, "I can't!" - "my hands are tied behind my back".

The ANC is always shirking responsibility - ALL OF THEM - THE WHOLE LOT RIGHT UP TO THE PRESIDENT. Heck, the President himself, shirks more responsibility than anyone else!! They all pretend they have no will and no power - yet they have both! But when pressed, they run around and point their fingers everwhere else. "We're a collective" - and so "collectively" they ALL take NO RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL!! Isn't that great? Dozens of ANC hot shots get together and reach a decision, but when pressed, not one of them will take responsibility for it... they all point their fingers at each other. Assholes!

The "collective" (which Nelson Mandela himself quotes), is of course the old communist way. Everything is done jointly. Imagine if you and I tried to use their arguments in a court of law. Imagine you and I plotted together to murder someone and we were then caught and hauled before a judge. Then we trot out the ANC excuse and we say: "The decision to murder the person was a collective one and so neither of us can be held directly responsible!" How ridiculous! And yet, the TOP ANC officials tell that to us every day on TV without blinking an eye or bursting out laughing!!

Mugabe plays similar games. Whenever Mugabe feels that the pressure and focus is too heavy he likes to play games. He used to play lots of "I'm dead" games. Mugabe is actually quite marvellous at playing dead. He puts out all sorts of stories to misdirect anger away from himself.

In January 2005, I wrote a detailed article which I highly recommend that you read the whole thing - it is not long. Virtually every word therein is completely revelant and worth noting. In those early days Mugabe was fooling everyone, and was feeding regular lies straight to the BBC and they printed them for the whole unwitting world to see. Here it is: IMPORTANT: Is Mugabe stepping down?

There used to be a BBC correspondent in Johannesburg who had actually lived in Zimbabwe. In 2003, she and I had lots of arguments. She kept telling me how Mugabe would soon be out of power. I kept telling her she was dreaming. Eventually she moved back to Britain and I never heard from her again.

Right now, everyone is writing about how Mugabe is stepping down, and its such complete nonsense. He has not taken even the first step towards stepping down. In fact, he's done everything EXCEPT make any move to step down. However, this time he has put in a new twist which has really fooled everyone, even my close associates. I'm convinced that Mugabe has played people for fools again.

I want to refer to what Mr Sparks wrote. He quotes from The City Press about how ZANU PF people went to Tsvangirai and the MDC and told them a big sob story about how everyone was trying to convince Mugabe to step down and they wanted to "talk" to see if the MDC could "help".

The only reason the ZANU PF trash came with that big sob story was to make it appealing enough to actually fool the MDC into talking to them. Keep in mind that ZANU PF think of the MDC AS THE ENEMY. THE ENEMY! THE ENEMY!!! Now, do you go to your ENEMY and tell them the truth and ask them for help? Only a fool tries that. No, you go to your enemy TO LIE TO HIM. To lure him into something that will damage him. You go to your enemy to trick him. They knew they needed something convincing which might draw the MDC into a discussion - and so they came with this sob story with its feminine elements to say, "We are trying so hard for Mugabe to step down, but he is scared... and psycho-babble and complete rubbish... and PLEASE ACCOMODATE US..."

So Morgan Tsvangirai then later forms the conclusion that Mugabe "wanted to step down" (which is junk folks!) ... but (feminine lie) "he can't because the military want him to stay". Oh shame! Pardon me while I blow my nose and cry for him!

In Morgan Tsvangirai's interpretation of the situation, you will see that no blame is laid at Mugabe's door. Read it again: "I think what went wrong is this: some of the hawks in the military said we can't accept transfer of power and that's when the problem started. The hawks in the military, the hawks in Zanu-PF, were not prepared to accept the verdict of the people. I think they regrouped and went to Mugabe, and Mugabe, being a hawk himself, found a constituency."

Only right at the end, does Tsvangirai assign some slight level of blame on Mugabe himself. But he is largely convinced that the Military and others colluded together to get Mugabe to stay... somewhat against his will. So the blame is laid by Tsvangirai - and all the media in fact, on "the Generals". The Generals do not rule Mugabe. Mugabe rules everybody. Yes, the Generals and top ZANU PF people are close to Mugabe. But rest assured, it is Mugabe's mind that is doing the real work here and not the other way around.

And where is Mugabe's WILL IN THIS? His willpower is not mentioned? Where is his will which is always supreme over that of everyone else? You hear no mention of it.

This is Mugabe acting like President Mbeki and the ANC... "I really wanted to step down, but the Army & ZANU PF people love me so much, I just (feminine lie) CAN'T! Its not that I don't want to. But I will break their hearts if I do, and I just CAN'T do that!"

What a complete lot of hogwash and psycho-babble.

Suddenly Mugabe's trigger finger has gone lame. Suddenly his will-power is broken. No, folks, it was the other way around. I wasn't there, but I'm telling you it worked the other way round.

Those of us who come from that country and those who knew him, know of Mugabe's EXTREME LUST FOR POWER. I doubt that any leader on this planet has as much lust for power as Mugabe has. Mugabe was quoted in 1989 by Ted Sutton-Pryce from Zimbabwe (in a book comparing Zimbabwe and Namibia) as saying: "We came to power by the barrel of a gun and we intend keeping it that way".

I know Colonel John Redfern, who was the Director of Military Intelligence in Rhodesia from 1976-1980, and over the years he has confirmed time and again to me that Mugabe's personality is such that he will not be removed from power easily.

Mugabe is the ultimate megalomaniac. He will use every living trick in the book, and a bunch more, to lie, cheat, murder, terrorise and steal his way into power. BY HOOK OR BY CROOK, he will remain.

Kevin Woods who was in charge of the CIO (Central Intelligence Organisation) in Matabeleland in the 1980s told me a few months back that EVERYTHING ZANU PF AND MUGABE DO HAS BUT ONE AIM - TO STAY IN POWER AND TO STRENGTHEN THEM!!!

In my book, Government by Deception, I have a chapter called, "Power Forever", and in it I quoted Ian Smith's discussion with someone in Zanu PF. It was about how the Russians told the Blacks, "With this system (of communism), you can stay in power FOREVER" and that was the moment when the Blacks saw the logic of communism and converted to it instantly. Until that moment, they had seen ZERO benefits in communism because in fact communism has no benefits whatsoever. But when they understood that communism was just a trick whereby lustful people lie to the masses in order to cheat their way into power FOREVER, and that they would be the beneficiaries they fell in love with it instantly!

Everything these liars, thieves, terrorists and murderers do HAS BUT ONE AIM - to keep Robert Mugabe and ZANU PF in power.

I want to quote a few sentences from that article I wrote in January 2003. You'll see the same old bullsh*t being repeated all these years later. Folks, I'm telling you... these people are nothing but TRICKSTERS... common street-walking whores with no talent, and they lean heavily on their lies and bullsh*t for SURVIVAL. That is why I tell people... Don't BUGGER AROUND... I say this to anyone and everyone who deals with these bastards in Zim. DON'T BE AFRAID... CALL THEIR BLUFF. CALL THEIR BLOODY BLUFF. They're standing without a foundation... CALL THEIR BLUFF... bypass this psycho-babble and hogwash... and challenge them... Then you will see that they're more hollow than you ever thought.

Let me quote some sentences from 2003:-
I have just heard and read a story in the BBC which says that there is a plan, which includes the MDC, which says that Mugabe is stepping down. ... Do not get your hopes up. In the last few years Mugabe has PLAYED DEAD on a number of occassions. His best instance of playing dead so far was last year when a series of (disinformation?) stories hit the British Press stating that he was very ill and dying. ... What is particularly interesting about last year's stories which surfaced in a big way in the British press, is that it happened at a time when pressure on him was increasing in a big way. ... The reason Mugabe plays dead is quite interesting. It is merely to get people off his back. What this should tell us is that he is LOSING - he is sensing that he is losing control and he needs to get his enemies off his back. Since he is the key problem, he finds creative ways of putting out stories which indicate that his grip is weakening and he is going downhill. ... So before everyone gets too excited that this means he is finished, let me remind people that in the past, after this flurry of stories and speculation, things quieten down and the whole thing is forgotten. (I want to draw your special attention to the following sentence:) It is even possible, to lend credence to this, that they may engage in "negotiations" which drag on and on for months on end and in the end it falls apart. ... One thing people must get used to is that communists like Mugabe are well trained in all the psychological tricks. They know how to DISARM you mentally by telling you what they know you want to hear and what will cause you to leave them alone. ... So, my warning to people is to WAIT AND SEE. I will see if I can find my old articles which I wrote a year ago (2002) warning that the stories of Mugabe's ill health were disinformation - and that proved to be true. This is very likely a similar thing. ... Remember something: The upper echelons of ZANU(PF) are thoroughly PURGED. Nobody to disloyal - even slightly so - makes it up there. So any idea that people inside ZANU(PF) would, of their own accord negotiate Mugabe's demise is unthinkable. They would only engage in this WITH MUGABE'S EXPRESS APPROVAL - or else he would have them killed in 2 seconds. ... (Again, take special note:) Communists are MASTERS at the art of playing for time and wearing you out. Mugabe is a communist master of psychological warfare and he has scored some very good propaganda victories - indeed, he is doing quite well with the assistance and connivance of the South African government. They are helping him a lot.

And there you have it folks. Lots of the same old hogwash and bullsh*t reappearing with a few additional twists to make idiots out of all of us.

A former KGB Officer, Major Anatoliy Golitsyn defected to the West. In the 1980's he wrote a book (the only book that predicted the downfall of the Berlin Wall years before it actually happened). Golitsyn's massive tome was called: "New Lies for Old". Golitsyn explained that the communist system was based on NOTHING BUT COMPLETE LIES. The lies had been worn out from over-use and so NEW LIES were thought up to replace the old ones.

The same is true of Zimbabwe in 2008. You're just seeing a few old lies, updated with a few new twists. But in the end, its all just a load of utter nonsense intended to shield Mugabe and buy time for him and his gang of liars, murderers, thieves and terrorists in order to screw the MDC royally and to make a complete mockery out of the will of the masses.

As for me, I'm afraid, I have such contempt for them, that personally, I'd like to see them all killed - never mind anything else. I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with them, because I just would not be able to do it without attempting to choke the life out of them with my bare hands.

This article has to be mailed to every political correspondent in the West. Many will already know the truth if they are worth their jobs, but it will remind them that it is their task to keep pushing the above facts out to the "sheep" who are, and have been for years, fooled by the communists.

Britain has a big problem still with such extreme left-wing commies although they describe themselves as socialists (but do not confuse communists with real socialists who have the best interests of the working man at heart).
