Put me on your ping list if you will - I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

I don't intend to spend any more time trying to disprove your allegations about Buckle.

The only things I did find were a couple of FR threads on which there was one or two comments about her support of Mugabe, with no sources cited there either.

I really don't CARE if Buckle got sucked into the liberal-think nearly a decade ago...if you have any evidence that what she is reporting in her letters of happenings in Zim NOW is false, please post it.

My interest is in the parallels of what happened there and the players and motives for it and what is happening in the US today.

And I don't intend to do research for you - I'm quite certain she was a despicable mugabe-enabler. You don't want to find that out for yourself, fine.

if you have any evidence that what she is reporting in her letters of happenings in Zim NOW is false, please post it

Where on earth did you get the impression that I think zim is anything but a crap-hole? It sure wasn't from anything I posted.

If you put me on your ping list, please take me off - I don't think anything you have to say would be of any interest to me after all.

Venezuela and South Africa and the US are on the same track, even though we have some distance between us and the broken trestle over the deep gorge.

I didn’t know she was still writing these.

Obviously if she came right out and smacked Mugabe in her column, it’d be the last I expect.

Somebody used to do that before, however, I haven't seen anything here by her in a long time........maybe I just missed them.

I thought it was Cindy??

She believed the hype that one man one vote would lead to peaceful co-existance.

lol

Why they let her alone writing these columns? How does she continue to afford any internet access?

Those are good questions.

But she does give us more info about life and conditions in Zimbabwe than anyone else is doing.

Is staying in Zimbabwe her form of penitance? Because she feels so guilty?

I dunno.

Possibly, but if I had to guess I'd say she's a "true believer"... she thinks that mugabe is an aberration, that the next ruler will be a "magic negro" much like our own president osama.

From what I remember of her background, her and her husband moved to Rhodesia not too long before white (right?) rule ended. They were apparently English liberals, coming to bring enlightenment to the redneck Rhodesians, much like how yankee liberals have moved to my beloved Confederacy to enlighten us backward hicks, thus ruining much of it (NC, Florida) in the process.

Her husband (ex?) did seem to be capable of learning however. Pretty sorry to leave a child (I think) behind though.

Don't know. I'm under the impression that he's still school age & with her, but may be wrong.

When I get a chance, maybe I'll do a little more research. Hate talking critically about someone when I know so little about them.

Now's not the time though. Still have several weeks of work to get done before I leave the office tonight.

Clive, would you care to provide links and information since you have been identified as the FReeper who posted Buckle articles earlier?

Your input would be appreciated.
