I've heard many economists say that the hyper-inflation seen in Zimbabwe is our future.

I also think we'll experience the lawlessness and breakdown in society they're experiencing.

I've heard that at one time they were one of the most advanced countries in Africa until the communists took over.

Don't think it can't happen here people.

...........The battle now is relentless, wearing and it drains all our innermost reserves. It is also an unusual battle — where else in the world does a government declare war on its own people? Where else does the State aim to destroy the economic base of the country so that people will be poorer and therefore more easily controlled? Where else do police connive with criminals to destroy agricultural production — leaving the people starving and totally dependant on the ruling party? Those who have not lived through a time of terror at the hands of a dictatorial government will never understand what it is like.

.....The invaders came at 11pm. Fifteen of them — singing, chanting and crashing metal objects together by our windows. “Out, out,” they shouted as they surrounded our farm — they certainly wanted us out. They broke into the house and dragged burning tyres through the front door. They invaded the hallway and occupied the courtyard. The flames leapt into the thatch as they pulled the tyres under it, but it did not catch alight.

This was last Tuesday. I called the police but then the invaders took the phone away. Their leader, who calls himself “Landmine”, was armed with a rifle. They pushed us around and raised sticks and said that we must leave. They beat my tonga drum so hard that the cowhide skin broke.

One of them went up to the children, who had been woken by the din. “Josh, Josh, there’s a man in our room,” said Anna, 4. Joshua, 9, told my wife Laura afterwards that the man was making hyena noises. My other son, Stephen, is 7.

Police arrived and the invaders were ushered out. None was arrested, but “Landmine” did return my phone at the request of the police. When the police left, though, the invaders resumed their attack. They did not break in this time, but they made a lot of noise, circling the house like whooping hyenas and shouting before they left: “We will eat the children.”

By the time the police came back a second time the invaders had given up: returning to the house of my wife’s parents on the other side of the farm. My parents-in-law were evicted by “Landmine” two months ago.

I can defenitely see bands of La Raza Mexicans and other gangs doing this type of thing to Americans when the breakdown comes. MS-13 is all over the country now.

Come to get what's theirs. Taking out their frustrations on us. Race wars will probably be formed by our Shadow Government.

I was trying to think of a nice way to say that

well

something certainly is going on around us.
whos to say its not going to keep on getting worse instead of better??

I'll leave all you armchair Nostradamuses to yourselves.

Ugh

Don't be so verbose, now, boo.

i just wonder who --

who's gonna be the fiddle player

barbarians

could this be our future? roving bands of Mexicans breaking our drums?

While I fully believe serious inflation is in our future, Zimbabwe is a different case and situation alltogether. If Zimbabwe happened here, the rest of the world that uses the USD for a base will fall as well. The world is too interdependent on us for that to happen.

But give it another year or so and inflation will start it's rise.

I am planning on moving over there to be a Somali Pirate

The past European Colonialism is the cause of most of Africas problems

Just could not muster more than that this morning.. grin

I wasn't gonna get in to it but what the hell

Zimbabwe's hyper inflation is a direct result of Mugabe's mismanagement and personal corruption. The lawlessness plaguing Zimbabwe is a direct result of Mugabe outlawing the private property ownership of whites and telling the blacks that they could legally take over any white persons property with armed force

dont compare America to Zimbabwe

I have every confidence that the rednecks of the south ain't about to let at least the south turn into anything like Zimbabwe. We got enough guns amongst us to keep law & order established no problem.

Thank you!!!

That's good but I don't see how guns will fix the economy

I was referrin to the lawlessness an violence that is in Zimbabwe

Cool But how would people in the south with guns stop the violence in Zimbabwe?

Dang U Mirror!! U know what I mean
