Norton farmer, Terry Ford of Gowrie Farm, who was in his mid-fifties, was bludgeoned to death sometime in the early hours of this morning, Monday 18th March 2002.

Just before midnight last night, a group of about twenty, suspected to consist of settlers and war veterans, approached the homestead area.  Mr Ford, who was alone in the house, immediately made a report to the Norton police station and alerted a neighbouring farmer.  At 02:15hrs this morning, Mr Ford contacted the neighbour to say that there still had been no police response and that he would remain vigilant and call for assistance if necessary.  Mr Ford's battered body was found in the early hours of this morning.

This farm is in vicinity of Winsor Farm, where looting took place last week and the farmer and his family were forced to vacate.  Also in the same area, the homestead at Wilbered Farm, owned by an 81 year old cancer victim who is away receiving medical treatment, was completely looted of all belongings. These incidents have been reported to the police at all levels.  Of the group of approximately 70 looters involved in these incidents, 3 have been arrested.

The Norton district is controlled by War Veteran leader, Mrs Rusike.  The war veteran base commander on Gowrie Farm is Cde Wamba.  Both are known to have been involved in the previous two looting incidents.

I suspect that the arrests are mere damage control in light of the international attention that the murder received.

I do ono expect that it will get to a trial.

Will the same policemen who drive the "veterans" to their crimes now arrest them?

Mugabe has enough money, I'm wondering why he just doesn't go ahead
and buy that land from the farmers who have owned it for centuries?

Uh, that is merely a logical and rhetorical question

Why dont these moron farmers leave. Zimbabwe is not their country and if the savages do not want white people there fine. I understand that I am not welcome in that country and will never go there. It would be great for the Whites to leave because the more farms that are taken from them the worse the rest of the country starves.

Very sad and poignant photos.

Heads on pikes!

At a post where a photo of the battered corpse of a brave man is displayed, could you refrain from using the word "moron"? Have some respect. You're safe in Minnesota; you obviously don't have any idea of how much courage it takes to live in the rest of the world.

What happened to the Prime Directive? We should never have interfered with the africans. Their population would not have exploded without our medical technology. They would not have guns. They would not have transportation or communications. They would just be happilly killing each other the way they were for the 50,000 years before we showed up. Let nature take its course.

And whose country is Minnesota?

How many generations of productive labor does it take before where you live becomes "your country"?

Is life so dear it must be all that matters?

Is it so very easy to flee your home and life's work with only the clothes on your back?

My prayers go out to Terry Ford and his family who's only "crime" was to "feed the animals".

That's ridiculous ---land doesn't belong to one race or the other. These farmers have been there many many years. That'd be like saying descendents from Africans only belong in Africa ---which is also riduculous.

The answer is for the remaining white farmers to congregate together on collective style farms (after the model of the kibbutz in Israel). So long as they live in single families or alone out on these farms, they will be picked off one at a time. If several dozen families lived together in a central location, they could at least present a reasonable collective defense.

[FITZ]

If the whites have to leave they should burn their homes and farms and take whatever they've worked for that they can. It's all going to end up being nothing anyhow, but these looters shouldn't be rewarded.

Strangely enough, I did a search on the title of the book and all these eugenics websites came up...
