Mugabe threatens foreign-owned companies
2013-08-25
[FOXNEWS] Zim-bob-we's president has threatened to expel foreign-owned companies over what he says is the West's interference in the politics of the country he has owned since 1980.
The citizenry has nothing left to steal, so steal whatever the hated foreigners have. Then blame them when things go south. Or in the case of Zim, start back north the other way.
In a speech before supporters gathered for the burial of a top military chief in Harare, President Bob Muggsy Mugabe
Octogenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case...
said Sunday he wanted no "ideas from London or Washington."
"If they ain't my ideas, they ain't ideas."
He warned the countries that although his government hasn't "done anything to your companies, time will come when we will say tit for tat."
"If we sell you no products, then where will you be?"
"Where will you be?"
"Deeper in the Chinese pocket. But that's beside the point..."

The West has pushed for democratic reform in Zim-bob-we.
Horrors.
Mugabe, who was sworn in Thursday for another five-year term at the age of 89, said "there will come a time when we lose our patience."
"We've already lost our coherence."
Mugabe has vowed to press ahead with black ownership of foreign-owned companies.
"Foreign-owned" = "not indigenously owned." If it's owned by Frenchies or Brits or Luxembourgeouis, whaddya do? Fire the board of directors?

Oh. Wait.

Just shoot them. Of course.

#3  Gotta agree w/ Muggsie on one thing, I'm not too fond of any ideas from Washington, either.

#2  I can't say I have any sympathy for any foreign-owned company that's still in Zim-bob-we. They should have seen the handwriting on the wall (the rest of us did) and gotten out completely 10 years ago. At least. >:-(

#1  Bob's reading the ANC hate playbook. Reject even the liberal, progressive whites. They are not us !

Paternal Liberalism, a fox in the lamb's cloth

Viewpoint by Magasela Mzobe: To reduce the miasmatic white supremacist enterprise that was codified in colonial apartheid only to the routine savagery and dispossession of black indigenous people, is to fundamentally miss the indispensable role performed by 'messianic' white liberalism, to the legitimization of colonial-apartheid infrastructure. Insolent racist bigots and colonial-apartheid white liberals were (are) the proverbial two sides of the same bloody coin. They are both constitutive elements of Western hegemonic logic and construct.......
