'Fortunately, the Nobel Committee understands that President Obama's accomplishments are no laughing matter. So they gave him the Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." I assumed this was a reference to his rip-roaring success in winning the Olympic Games for Rio, but as it turns out the deadline for Nobel nominations was way back on Feb. 1.

Obama took office on Jan. 20. Gosh, it's so long ago now. What "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy" did he make in those first 12 days? Bowing to the Saudi king? Giving the British prime minister the Walmart discount box of "Twenty Classic Movies You've Seen A Thousand Times"? "Er, Barack, I've already seen these." "That's OK. They won't work in your DVD player anyway."

For these and other "extraordinary efforts" in "cooperation between peoples", President Obama is now the fastest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in history.'

Good points. He wants to be the first World President so he cares far less about the USA as it is not his priority.

Obama - fastest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in history and the first one to get it for having good intentions!

Describe what you mean by Kaffir? As well as your statement?

All Mugabe did was take back the land, that the whites took from the Blacks. If the Native-Americans had the same power, they would have done it too.

I have a quote for you William: Do you think internationally, the whites will survive the next revolution?

===============================================================
William, if the "it" you expressed, means what I think you meant it to imply. Then with all my heart, I wish those who've read it, to pay a visit to you. To let you be the first to receive "IT". The D.R. will certainly be better off if this happens. Because your flesh is to diseased, for my dog to rape. Someone in the D.R.. Please take care of William properly! If you can't, then try to deport him to the Apple, so I can do it!

Your are about as blinded and stupid as racism can make a man, Your gross insecurity leads you to appear the utter fool.

Read the sentence again, but real slowly.

Obama - fastest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in history and the first one to get "it" for having good intentions!


In Grade one English the IT refers to the Nobel PRize. What an idiot!

Because Obama has not been raped by a dog or killed - both of which you as a so wonderful good Christian or person are asking people to do to me, the "it" cannot refer to those things or anything but the Nobel Prize..

You are an example of why forums are generally a joke!
1. You cannot even read English!
2. You are filled with hatred and insecurities!
3. You are a racist and blame all upon the white man!
4. You all can hide behind false identities (expect for one person on this Forum who does not hide)

You are urging people to come and rape and kill me? I thought that was against the law and civil society and certainly this forum. But it does reveal the anger of a depraved heart in which great darkness dwells. I really hope you get counseling.

So, you totally maliciously misread what I actually said, you are horrified as to what you in your twisted little mind think the "it" may mean, and then what you wrongly and falsely condemn me for you go ahead and do yourself. My, My, what a "man" you are.


blessings and peace be upon you!

William.

Yes, and the USA would be the same horrible bankrupt place Zimbabwe has become! You really are insane!

A British farmer who stood up to Robert Mugabe and was beaten, abducted and finally had his house burnt down has travelled to Washington to ask the Obama administration to put pressure on the Zimbabwe government before it seizes the last remaining white farms.

Ben Freeth, who moved to Zimbabwe from Kent, joined his father-in-law Mike Campbell in taking Mugabe to an international court to stop the farm seizures. Their secret footage of the campaign of intimidation launched against them will form part of a film to be released in London this month.

A Southern African Development Community (SADC) tribunal in Namibia ruled last November that the farm seizures were illegal and ordered Zimbabwe’s government to pay costs. Within a month President Robert Mugabe’s regime had sent thugs to set fire to both men’s farms while they were at church, destroying everything they owned as well as the homes of their workers.

In June the tribunal ruled that Zimbabwe was in contempt of court. Far from respecting the decision, a leaked document published in The Zimbabwe Times last week revealed that Mugabe plans to expel all the remaining white farmers and seize their land.

The land seizures were expected to stop when the former opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai became prime minister last year after agreeing a peace deal with Mugabe. Tsvangirai, originally backed by white farmers, was even considered a candidate for this year’s Nobel peace prize.

Freeth said he had written four times to Tsvangirai but his letters were never acknowledged. Although the main levers of power such as the army, police and justice ministry have remained in Mugabe’s hands, Freeth insists that “Tsvangirai could at least be calling for action. He doesn’t seem interested in doing anything to get the rule of law respected”.

In desperation he decided to take his case to Washington. He spent Friday on Capitol Hill telling his story to legislators and hopes to meet Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state, this week.

“The United States is the biggest bilateral donor to Zimbabwe and it’s really important that they put pressure on the government to ensure the court judgment is respected,” he said.

Last year the United States provided $900m in humanitarian assistance to Zimbabwe, but Barack Obama has made clear his frustration at Mugabe remaining in power.

Freeth admits that time is running out. The leaked document states that no foreigner should be allowed to own rural agricultural land and warns that farmers who resist should be arrested.

“Land acquisition and redistribution is an ongoing process,” says a secret memorandum to cabinet issued by Herbert Murerwa, the lands minister, on August 27. “No foreigner should be allowed to own rural agricultural land in Zimbabwe.”

Only 400 white farmers out of an original 4,600 remain on their farms after a violent nine-year campaign to oust them. Instead of their land being distributed to the poor, much of it has gone to Mugabe’s relatives and cronies. Vast tracts of farmland now lie fallow and agricultural output has slumped.
The memo says there must be “no going back on farm seizures” and concludes that the prosecution of farmers refusing to move off the acquired land should be expedited.

“It makes a complete mockery of the global political agreement that committed parties in the unity government to the return to rule of law,” complained John Worsley-Worswick of the farmers’ lobby group, Justice for Agriculture.

“It shows the regime is planning to forge ahead with the so-called land reform programme even against everyone who has some protection.”

The revelation of the planned seizures came as the United Nations warned that Zimbabwe would grow only a quarter of the food it needed to feed its people, with the next maize harvest expected to fall by 70%. The country has faced acute food shortages since 2001 because of the destruction of the white-owned farms.

Mugabe has threatened to unleash the police on white commercial farmers who refuse to give up their land. He told the youth conference of his Zanu-PF party recently that the formation of the unity government between himself and Tsvangirai would not change the country’s stance on the land programme.

Farmers like the Freeths, who have resisted the seizures, have paid a heavy price. Their families and workers have endured relentless intimidation since 2004 when Nathan Shamuyarira, a Zanu-PF spokesman, arrived at the gate of their farm in Chegutu, 60 miles southwest of Harare, with an order telling them to hand it over to him.

When they refused they were arrested. Local wildlife was slaughtered, a safari lodge was burnt down and their mango crop was stolen.

Last year Freeth and his father-in-law were savagely beaten for seven hours, leaving Freeth, 40, concussed and with no sense of smell and 76-year-old Campbell with impaired memory.

In December Freeth, his wife Laura and their three young children returned from church to find their home in flames. “They had stolen all our tractors so we had no means of fighting the fire and they chose a day when the wind was blowing toward the house so it spread quickly,” Freeth said.

The local community rallied round, finding them a house in which to stay and donations of everything from pots and pans to school uniforms.

Freeth said it was difficult to describe the loss: “You feel so helpless, your whole history has been destroyed, all your photos, your children’s baby books, records of holidays, the kids’ toys.”

However, he is determined to rebuild. “I know there’s a threat we’ll finish it and they’ll take it over or burn it down over again. But it’s a road we started on a long time ago and to give up now would be a betrayal to our workers and the country as a whole.”

Mugabe and the White African will be shown at the London Film Festival on October21


So Sonny boy - that is what you say would have been better for the USA. I say again, if you had any guts, if you were not such a coward and a big talker, put your money where you say your mouth is and get out of the USA you love to hate and go back to your people, give away all the money you earned in the USA and go and live as you did as a child - the good simple life!

All he did was take back the land?????


Are you the only person alive who does not know what that murdering thug, YOUR BUDDY, did to his own once prosperous nation? Please! Such ignorance is beyond belief.




What Sonny wished had happened to the USA - the Natives tossed out the whites 200-300 years ago and ruled for themselves, just as Mugabe is doing, andhe at least started with a modern and very sucessful nation built by Europeans.

Stated as only a blinded insecure racist could.

Fortunately, most people of color - and I have many as friends- are far more mature and civil. They are not animals like you are, wishing other people dead and blaming all their troubles on the white man. Get over it already. STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE - LEAVE THE USA - IT IS FULL OF THE WHITE PEOPLE YOU HATE.

William, the hold forum knows that you need to get "IT" as you so eloquently expressed about Obama. I look forward to reading about it and you. While I'm in white neutralized, Black controlled Kenya!! Brother..
