Climate Change in Zim produces ethanol.
2014-05-25
[Breitbart] Humanitarian NGO Human Rights Watch is reporting that Zimbabwe ruler Robert Mugabe faked a "natural disaster," forcing his citizens to vacate an area after a flood due to a state-media reported dam break. According to the report in the Christian Science Monitor, Mugabe turned the newly vacated citizens into "employees" of a forced labor camp in a sugarcane field.

After hearing word of the citizens' devastation, international humanitarian groups poured in from all corners of the globe, pledging assistance to the victims of the flood. Shortly thereafter, Zimbabwe military forces shuttled the 20,000 displaced individuals into a "transit" tent camp that was 80 miles from the flood zone. Zimbabwe officials referred to this newly created tent city as the Nuanetsi ranch.

The territory where the "refugee ranch" is located coincidentally falls within an area that has a plethora of sugarcane fields, used to feed a large ethanol facility on the land.
Somewhere, Al Gore smiles approvingly.

#6  I once was driving to work one morning when the 5 am news reported "The dam has burst, More news ater the break" and went to commercial, as I was driving on a flat, I looked and saw a low wall of water(?) in the distance, and driving a hot rod floored the gas, about two minuts later I cleared the hill, in Wetumpka (Quite a hill too) an relaxed, then the news resumed, with "Good morning, This morning at three AM (It was 5am by then) The dam at Speigner was opened this morning an the pond (Smalish) Drained because the dam was considered unsafe.

I was early to work that day. And it's a damn good thing the law was not around.

For Zim, it was in December of 1979 when Muz replaced Smith. For the United States it was in January 2009, some 29 Years later.
