>Terrible, terrible things are taking place in Zimbabwe by the 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.
>Please forward this everyone you know so it gets around the world in a few days.

>Letter from Zimbabwe sent in by John Winter

>I reckon that these are the last days of TKM and ZPF. The darkest hour is always
>before dawn.

>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.
>
>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.
>
>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.
>
>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).
>
>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
>
>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.
>
>How can I take on another family of 4 -----and yet how can I turn them away to
>sleep out in the open?
>
>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.
>
>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.
>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'.

>[I know we chose to stay here and that some feel we deserve what's coming to us]

>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.

>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
