Is MDC a foreign interest media spin?

The honorable Morgan Tsvangirai’s professional credentials and/or experience should be the final determining factor on his ability to govern in wisdom.

Has anyone read a statement or listened to a conversation or interview that will demonstrate Presidential Candidate Tsvangirai’s ability and qualifications to understand a budget, banking, inflation, the lifting of sanctions, global economics, international mineral trade and investment, farming, and southern African strategic military intelligence?

This should be the debate of debates for Zimbabweans. Speaking to the economic issues of Zimbabwe should be the number one conversation.

Historical precedence reveals that the results of an election are not as important as to who is actually being elected.

What is MDC’s logic in promoting to the world that the Zimbabwean Election Commission and government is corrupt, unfair, and incapable of operating honestly; and, in the same instant participate in the elections only to recognize an MDC victory by the supposedly same corrupt, unfair, and incapable government officials? 

A declared official election victory in favor of MDC would be legally invalid according to press statements supported by MDC. How can you recognize a win and not a loss?

Americans, now regretfully, voted two terms for a president they later found to be insensitive, pro military, pro war, pro business, and pro spending. President George Bush is presently bogged down in two wars and a growing trillion dollar debt scandal.

Have we forgotten that Iraq's pre-war opposition media-rallied the West (US & EU) instead of the Iraqi people; and today is reaping the present state of disaster?

There are four million homeless Iraqis, hundreds of thousands dead and wounded. All due to an Iraqi opposition groups’ media and CIA campaign to overthrow Saddam. There is no security, daily electricity, or basic civility in Iraq except in the walled US Embassy Green Zone after five years of occupation.

In spite of Saddam Hussein’s violent past, no Iraqi imagined they could get any worse than Saddam's rule.

Today Iraq is hell; a wall is being built around SADR City. All the ethnic groups are fighting and killing one another as never before imagined.  Rwanda was another perfect scenario.

The United States Congress now debates how it granted too much power to President Bush and the failure, they claim, of dismissing 350,000 armed Iraqi military personnel immediately after the invasion. They also debate going to war without a plan.

The US Justice Department and congressional committees are uncovering false documents, news media distortions, and weapons of mass destruction deception claims used to institute the Iraq War by Iraqi opposition organizations.

How can a candidate running for the presidency of a nation operate from outside his own country and be successful?

MDC, so far, has not won the respect and confidence the Zimbabwe Army, War Veterans, government officials, and at least half the population.

Knowing this and failing to campaign and work within Zimbabwe; to win over the military and the remaining half of the population from within; MDC depends on an international anti Robert Mugabe western military industrial media slander blitz for their elect-ability.

Opposition groups whose political organizations are foreign based to the country they desire to govern usually secure foreign contractors for administrative installation and implementation. This type of operating system for governing will fail. It would exclude the indigenous population (Zimbabweans) and as a result the cause of a future revolt.  This will seal the fate of Zimbabwe.

Africa is faced with 21^st century imperial neo-colonial plenipotentiaryism.  The examples are to numerous to mention.

What then do, I, the author suggest?  My partial answer is found in an article I wrote for TalkZimbabwe.com entitled, “Africa looks to Zimbabwe for change” February 14, 2008. Here are a few paragraphs:

“AFRICA is waiting on Zimbabwean leadership to lead the way in demonstrating national unity by way of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the everlasting remedy for nourishing brotherhood, sisterhood, and nationhood; which in turn generates a progressive power sharing government.’

‘Forgiveness breeds trust, trust allows negotiation and negotiating in trust strengthen agreements.’

‘When the Brothers Ncube, Mugabe, Tsvangirai, Makoni, Mutambara, Mujuru, Sibanda, Mandaza and others, join hands, forgiving themselves and one another, while continuing to compete and argue in mutual respect; all Africa will do the same.”


RBZ A Bank To Take Pride In

Zimbabweans in spite of troubles, have a functioning Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), which all the international bankers (including the World Bank and International Monetary Fund) are studying and monitoring in admiration.

The professional manner in which the Bank Governor of RBZ is managing and solving high rate inflation equations (which all American major banking institutions are now confronted with) under economic sanctions, and still flourishes while securing trade and investments is phenomenal in international banking and investment circles.

The people of Zimbabwe can take pride in a Ministry of Agricultural Engineering and Mechanisation planned for an agro-based economy and optimum productivity in agriculture. At the same time competing with and exploiting adverse forces of nature (droughts).

A Land Reform Programme matures into the productive mode through effective land usage.

Zimbabweans can take pride in a strong standing military, able to protect its people, land, property, and mineral resources.

Zimbabwe has a “functioning” Constitution, judicial court system, a parliamentarian election system, and a practicable one-person-one-vote system of electing leaders to office. I place emphasis on the word functioning when you consider countries without these systems of governance.

The religious and moral climate in Zimbabwe, in spite of controversies, is second to none in my opinion. Take pride in what God has blessed Zimbabweans with. As the American blues song says “Mama May Have Papa May Have, But God Bless the Child That Have Its Own.”
