May God surround this woman with His special protection and miracles.

And the pee-cee world that forced "majority rule" to a bunch of shiftless tribal gangs and proclaimed they could run a nation as complex as Rhodesia walks away scot free.

Well, at least in this existence they are not paying for their crimes. Listening Jhummi?

Old T.S.E. had it right about world’s end after all - it’s whimpering all ‘round.

Hadn’t seen the Cathy Buckle posts here in quite a while. I wondered if she was still in Zimbabwe

This is America’s future, brought to us by those who HOPE for CHANGE.

Like you I have wondered where Cathy is? And how she is? Her letters used to be posted more often when her son was around seven or eight. How hard is it to leave Zimbabwe, anyone know?

I believe she can leave any time she wants. I don’t know who or what she has that she can go to outside of Zimbabwe.
I think she stays out of guilt and a sense of responsibility to report and record what’s happening there.

She only goes back because of her guilt, in my opinion.

That’s a pretty big assumption on your part.

“Listening Jhummi?”

Obama is all ears.

Folks, you need to go to Google and see those boabab trees. They are more than just amazing. Some are thought to be as old or older than when Jesus was born.

Boabab = baobab

Sorry folks.

Zimbabwe is the model that Obama and his friends on the left want to emulate.

I was the one that was posting Cathy's weekly letters.

I stopped posting her letters a while ago because I had gotten the impression that they had become an annoyance on FR.

I enjoy them. I’d heard that she and her husband were a part of bringing “social justice” to Zimbabwe.

It’s like a car wreck where you cannot look away. It is riveting.

Back in 2000 when we were posting stories of the farm invasions, Blam and I were discussing the pontial effect on Zim's economy and what, if anything the West could do about it. I told the story of a railway switchman who was being examined on a simulator:

The examiner kept setting up failures of signals and switches and asking the switchman how he would handle it.

Finally, he set up an absolutely impossible situation with the switches and signals out and two trains belting toward each other on the same track.

"Whad do you do?" asked the examiner.

"I call my sister" answered the switchman.

"What can she do?" asked the examiner.

"Nothing" replied the switchman "But she has never seen a train wreck."

Clice, I feel remiss in not having thanked you before for posting this series of bulletins from Cathy Buckle.

Whatever her errors of political judgment, she is a compelling witness to events in Zimbabwe.

Truthful witnesses are the best we can hope for - Orwell, Chambers, Kracchenko, Solshenitsyn and the rest.

If a true account of events is what you’re after, witnesses turn out to be the best witnesses.

Thanks for posting!
