News 1130 of Vancouver, B.C., via AR:
A politician who is internationally condemned for destroying his country has agreed to his first Western media interview in years. Zimbabweans describe life as being ‘tough’ with an 80 per cent unemployment rate, the spread of AIDS, and a currency not even worth printing.
Jonathan Roth asked Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe whether he was afraid of retirement, since the International Criminal Court may go after him. Mugabe says that just observing the situation that he probably wants to die in office because that’s the only real way to guarantee immunity from the ICC.
Oh, puh-leeze. If the “international community” had it in them to haul Mugabe in for human rights violations, they would have done so years ago, and they would have also enacted a near-global boycott of Zimbabwe, regardless of whether Mugabe was still on the throne or still living. You and I know the white elephant (pun intended) of a reason why it hasn’t happened yet, and will never happen.
Further evidence of my statement is that this article has no indication of what Mr. Mugabe’s “crimes against humanity” are, and certainly no mention of his blantant anti-white bigotry and near-genocidal racism. If a Vancouver radio station can’t bring itself to publish these truths on its own website, what makes them or anyone think that the UN/ICC will “go after him?”
