| Zimbabwean government supporters who are trying to force remaining white farmers off their land have seized five more white-owned farms. Armed agents of the secret service, militia and police seized two farms in eastern Nyazura and three in Chipinge, farming officials said. Two farmers were taken to hospital after beatings. About 500 Last week, the justice minister, Patrick Chinamasa, said that all farm title deeds would be cancelled and that white farmers must seek compensation from Britain, the former colonial ruler. |

| #6 Last week, the justice minister, Patrick Chinamasa, said that all farm title deeds would be cancelled and that white farmers must seek compensation from Britain, the former colonial ruler. And, Mr. Chinamasa continued, all white residents of Zimbwabwe must wear their underwear on the outside of their pants. We must see all that is going on.... Paraphrased from, "Bananas", the 1971 Woody Allen movie that made fun of Castro... |

| #5 Simple answer, set up a "Minute Man" system so any farmer who has the "Militia" show up on his farm has about 100-200 heavily armed "Supporters" arrive shortly. But the "Supporters MUST be prepared to kill ALL the "Militia present or it's just a wasted exercise. Show up, do nothing, and they're in worse shape than before. |

| #1 It's been, what, over 30 years since Britain counted Zimbabwe as a colony? Much easier to blame them, though, than admit Mugabe's following in the footsteps of Pol Pot. |
