                    Miss Carnivorous      Lefties mad that Wal-Mart is "telling" its employees how to vote

They are mad because it's telling its employees to vote Republican. Lefties think it is unfair for Wal-mart to suggest to its employees that they vote for a candidate friendly to Wal-mart's interests. It is mentioned in the article that Wal-mart does not want its employees to become unionized.

The irony is this, unions have always been engaged in telling thier members how they should vote. And they always tell members to vote for Democrats

Not an election goes by that my union does not bombard me with phones calls and emails and flyers and letters telling me to vote for some filthy rich Democrat. Nearly always, their favorite candidate is a stinking rich Democrat of the far left persuasion.Miss Carnivorous

                                               Zanu PF politburo meets on keeping election results a secret (humourous)
April 8th, 2008 sokwanele


This highy amusing comment from The Cape Times (South Africa) was brought to my attention by my daily zwnews email:

 

The Zanu PF politburo gathered in sombre mood.

“I thought the elections were free and fair,” said one member. “SADC promised us they would be declared free and fair even before they took place.”

“They would have been free and fair if we had won them,” said another. “But there was a terrible mistake and the MDC won them, so they weren’t free and fair after all.”

“Can’t we count the votes again?” suggested a third. “You know, two for us and one for them, like we used to.”

“We’ve already done that, and they still win,” said the first. “We can’t go on counting the votes over and over again.”

“What was the result exactly?” asked a general.

“Shhh,” said a police chief, “you’ll send him into a rage again. You’ve seen how he can’t bear to hear it. The main thing is we have declared it to be classified information, and anyone found guilty of releasing it will be tried for treason. If those figures get into the wrong hands, life in Zimbabwe could change for all of us.”

Everyone shuddered at the thought.

“But when will we release the figures?” persisted the general. “We can’t keep them secret for ever.”

“We’ll keep them secret until we have another election, with better figures,” said the police chief.

“I know what,” said an administration secretary, “we’ll just invert the figures. We’ll give 72% to the president instead of the 27% he really got … ”

There was a roar of anger from the head of the table, and the secretary had to dodge a flying water bottle.

“Sorry, boss, I meant the 27% that those crooks in the electoral commission said you got. And we’ll give 35% to Tsvangirai instead of the 53% we all know he didn’t get.”

“Will Mbeki fall for that?” asked the general.

“He’ll fall for anything,” said the police chief. “Aziz Pahad can explain to him it was all a misrepresentation by the media.”

“I don’t know why we bother to have elections,” said a senior politburo member. “Unless you have pre-arranged to win them, what’s the point?”

One man who had kept very quiet finally spoke up. “The fact is, the people have expressed their will in this election,” he said.

“The people’s will se ma se …,” retorted the senior politburo member rudely, only he said it in Shona.

“The main thing is to protect our land from the whites,” said the administration secretary.

“But we’ve chased nearly all the whites off it,” said the quiet man. “And kyk hoe lyk ons nou.” Only he said this in Shona, too.

“But they’ll come back under Tsvangirai,” argued the police chief.

“If they do, maybe we’ll get some food production going again,” said the quiet man.

There was a bellow of fury from the head of the table, and guards quickly dragged the quiet man out of the room. When they shut the door, you could hardly hear his screams of pain.

“With luck,” said the police chief, “we can get him to confess he rigged the whole election.”

MURDER - Tapiwa Mbwada, MDC Organising secretary for Hurungwe East (Karoi area) was beaten to death on Saturday night 12/4/08. His wife and brother were badly beaten and are in a serious condition. According to the information we have received, this was organised by ZPF councilor from Kazangarare called Jawet and an ex-soldier named Madamombe.

It has been reported that a teacher in Mudzi has also been murdered and 8 women have been abducted. We are awaiting verification of this report.

The man above has a badly broken foot.

The women shown in the following images below have all been viciously beaten and have all sustained deep tissue bruising of the     buttocks. All have been admitted to hospital. These attacks took place on Friday night.

His lip was split and he lost two teeth, and he has also sustained fractured ribs. The picture below is of his wife. She is 50 years and was beaten viciously on her right leg.
 

In addition to these pictures and reports:

The MDC Secretary for Ward 1 Zimuto Masvinga, who is 36 years old, was attacked on Tuesday in Baradzi Village, Masvingo. ZPF youth broke his door down and dragged him outside insisting that he take them to all the other MDC members houses.

He refused so was beaten with iron bars and logs of wood. He slept the night in the bush and then found his way to medical facility.

The thugs referred to their actions as Operation Mavhoterapapi - “where you put your X”.

The Mudzi/Mutoko area is particularly bad, with homes being burned. One man had his home ransacked, and his chickens and goats burned alive. He and his family have left fearing for their lives.

GENERAL STRIKE:
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change has today called for a general strike in Zimbabwe starting tomorrow (Tuesday, 15 April 2008) after the high court refused to order the immediate release of the presidential election results. Take Action!





These photographs of reprisal attacks by Zanu PF thugs were taken yesterday.

The photograph on the left is of a 22 year old male from Musaruro Village, Mudzi. This is what he said what happened to him: “The ZPF youth came to my shop on Friday 11 April 2008 at 9pm, broke the door down and dragged me out of the building. They said “you are an MDC member”. They took all the groceries from my shop then burned grass on both my hands. After that they beat my hands and back with wooden poles. I went to Kotwa rural district hospital and they gave me 2 paracetamol - they had nothing else.”

The photo on the right is of a 22 year old male from Chibamo Village, Mudzi south. He stated: “15 or so ZPF youth came to my house on Friday 11 April 2008 and started to hit me with fire wood and kick me in the mouth. They beat me on my buttocks, left arm and hand. The perpetrators are known to me (names recorded). They said “why are you supporting MDC, we promise you we are here to vandalise you”. sokwanele

                                                                97 percent
The billboards changed overnight from campaign to congratulations. This one reads: "Congratulations; Congratulations; Oh, our country; To you, our Asad." Or, "To you, our lion." In Arabic, asad means lion.

Bashar Al-Asad won a second term – somehow three percent of voters disapproved – and the city was awash in more parades, fireworks and street parties, both planned spontaneous rallies and planned planned rallies. The president himself briefly appeared at one yesterday.

(Erring on the side of caution, the U.S. embassy evacuated yesterday afternoon because one of the marches was headed past its front doors. Nothing happened.)

If Syrians associate one thing with democracy it may be bad traffic. With all of the celebrations, most major traffic circles and downtown streets have closed.

On Saturday, a merchant in the old city told me the story of his brother-in-law, a physician, who was driving home from work, a distance of 8 kilometers. It took him four hours.

"We hope that after tomorrow, this will all return to normal," he said, never mentioning the presidential referendum. "Inshallah," I replied. God willing.

He's still waiting. Word spread of more official celebrations today.
