WildGameSunday! Will Condi Let Dick-n-Dubyah Do a Lil Holiday Huntin in Harare’ ?

“Thou Shalt Not Kill..”
but where does it say – thou shalt BE Killed ?


Today We Ask You to Listen to This Statement By a Ruthless but Wise Woman – Dr Condelezza Rice, U.S. Secretary of State.

We do not believe incoming Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be so eloquent, or kind. We trust that she will finally take the initiative and clean up where the doctors left off – in the parliment of Zimbabwe. America always meddles in the affairs of other less meaningful countries; so why not Zimbabwe, finally.

Dick and Dubya, why not let er rip for Old Time Sake. you don’t like that rhino, and we have it on good authority that the Zimbabweans are Backing You; if you decide to let Dick do a lil “Last Holiday Hunting Trip” -  in Harare.  Mr Obama would probably consider it a holiday gift in parting;  And guess what Mr President – all the good warmongering Americans Would Too !
No More Hitlers - Remove Mugabe NOW
Bust a Cap in His Ill Intentioned Alzheimers Cabinet. call it “Operation Granting A Sick Childs’ Christmas Wish”

Do It In The Name Of Love for Mankind – Peace and Goodwill.

Yes Mr President, we’re asking you to take a stand and wack Black Hitler. Just let Dick Load up Ol’ Bessy in the Back of Airforce Three and Head his posse on down to Harare’. they could back the airstream out and have full use of what’s left of the roads, to ride up to Victoria House and Bust a Cap in Black Hitlers Ass.

It Will Be Glorious, as a Ride or Die Move – His Ass Will Die and You Will Ride On Out in Glory.. My Prez; more than just a member, the Real Playa Prezident. (just like ya bwoy, Notorious Big )

Today We Again Ask For Prayer For ZIMBABWE.

We need to pray that Cholera Finds Black Hitler, and Holds Him Down while Dick gets that Red Dot action goin from the side by side.. Oh Yeah, a lil holiday decorating, Shady Palin Stylie.

“Black Hitla Throw ya hands in the air, and wave em like they just ain’t there.. Now one two three everybody hit the gully, MC Dick gon put the Hamma Down Fully,, Black Hitla Screammm. now stop, It’s Hamma Time”

it is not in our agenda to call for the murder of anyone – but instead to point out their genocide, and to ask for reciprocity.

“Lord Let The Righteous Not Suffer Under Fools and Heathens”..

So today we look to the Old Testament and remind you all that it says “An Eye For An Eye”. Which is a quotation from Exodus 21:23–27 in which a person who has taken the eye of another in a fight is instructed to give his own eye in compensation.

At the root of the non-Biblical form of this principle is that one of the purposes of the law is to provide equitable retaliation for an offended party.


If We All Think About This Hard Enough This Can BE MUGABE

Zimbabwe blames ‘chemical war’ for cholera

Mugabe’s regime claims Western countries deliberately started health crisis


HARARE, Zimbabwe – The Zimbabwean government on Saturday accused the West of deliberately starting the country’s cholera epidemic, stepping up a war of words with the regime’s critics as the humanitarian crisis deepened.

The state-run Herald newspaper said comments by the U.S. ambassador that the U.S. had been preparing for the outbreak raised suspicions the West had waged “serious biological chemical war.”

Zimbabwean officials often blame their country’s troubles on the West. Their stranglehold on most sources of news to which ordinary Zimbabweans have access makes such rhetoric an important tool for a regime struggling to hold onto power.

After the first cholera cases, U.S. and other aid workers braced for the waterborne disease to spread quickly in an economically ravaged country where the sewage system and medical care have collapsed. Zimbabwe also faces a hunger crisis, the world’s highest inflation and shortages of both the most basic necessities and the cash to buy them.

‘Genocidal onslaught’
The Herald quoted the information minister, Sikhanyiso Ndlovu, as blaming cholera on “serious biological chemical war … a genocidal onslaught on the people of Zimbabwe by the British.”

“Cholera is a calculated racist terrorist attack on Zimbabwe by the unrepentant former colonial power which has enlisted support from its American and Western allies so that they invade the country,” Ndlovu was quoted as saying.

Experts, however, blame the epidemic on Zimbabwe’s economic collapse. The World Health Organization said Friday the death toll was at 792 and that the number of cholera cases that have been reported since the outbreak began in August was now 16,700. The epidemic has reached a fatality rate of 4.7 percent. To be under control it would have to be less than 1 percent, WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said Friday.

Aid agencies have warned that the outbreak could worsen with the onset of the rainy season and the disease has already spread to Zimbabwe’s neighbors.

Suffering
President Robert Mugabe claimed Thursday that his government, with the help of international agencies, had contained the epidemic. That sparked accusations he was out of touch with his people’s suffering.

Zimbabwe’s decline began in 2000, when Mugabe began an often violent campaign to seize white-owned farms and give them to blacks; most of the land ended up in the hands of his cronies, and production has dropped. Hungry Zimbabweans scrounge for corn kernels spilled from trucks carrying the harvest to market in a nation that once exported food.

Zimbabwe once had among the best health care systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Now most hospitals have been forced to close their doors as they can no longer afford drugs, equipment or wages for their staff. Officials are also unable to afford spare parts and chemicals for water systems.

Mugabe has ruled his country since its 1980 independence from Britain and refused to leave office following disputed elections in March. U.S. President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have called recently for the 84-year-old leader to step down.

Zimbabwe seeks “all support we can get” on cholera

Fri Dec 12, 2008 1:42pm EST

By Nelson Banya

HARARE (Reuters) – A huge international aid effort is needed to help Zimbabwe combat a cholera outbreak that has killed hundreds, the government said on Friday, even though President Robert Mugabe has said it is now contained.

“We need all the support we can get from peace-loving nations,” information minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu told reporters.

The main opposition MDC also called for more help in fighting the epidemic.

Mugabe, under Western pressure to step down as Zimbabwe’s economy and health system collapse, had said on Thursday that “we have arrested cholera.”

But the United Nations said the death toll, now nearly 800, was rising.

Ndlovu said the media had misrepresented Mugabe’s comments, and presidential spokesman George Charamba said they were taken out of context.

The outbreak follows months of violence and political turmoil in Zimbabwe. Coupled with chronic food shortages, it has highlighted the economic collapse of the southern African country.

The health system is ill-prepared to cope and there is not enough money to pay doctors and nurses or buy medicine. The water system has collapsed, forcing residents to drink from contaminated wells and streams.

Neighboring South Africa is worried about conditions as thousands of Zimbabweans cross the border each day.

DEATH TOLL RISING

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday the death toll from cholera had risen to 792, with 16,700 cases.

“I don’t think that the cholera outbreak is under control as of now,” WHO spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said in Geneva.

“We are not commenting on President Mugabe’s assertion because it’s not the place to discuss politics now.

Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe for the past 28 years, has accused Western countries of trying to use the cholera outbreak to force him out of power.

“Now that there is no cholera there is no case for war,” he said in Thursday’s remarks.

Western leaders and some within Africa have called on the 84-year-old leader to step down as the epidemic compounds Zimbabwe’s political and economic crisis.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Mugabe on Friday to agree to a rapid deal on a new government.

Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai reached a power-sharing deal brokered by regional mediator Thabo Mbeki, South Africa’s former president, in September. But they are deadlocked over how to implement it.

The MDC said while it was still committed to the talks, it would not be a part of a unity government unless positions were allocated freely and a new National Security Council was created.

Ban said he had pressed Mugabe in “very tense” private talks two weeks ago in Doha to accept the September 15 agreement.

Asked whether he backed calls for Mugabe to leave office, Ban told a news conference in Geneva: “He should really look for the future of his country and his own people who have been suffering too much and too long from this political turmoil now coupled with very serious humanitarian tragedies.

“I am really appealing and urging him again.”

Britain on Friday questioned a U.S. proposal to seal Zimbabwe’s borders to hasten the collapse of Mugabe’s government, saying the move could have far worse consequences.

Mark Malloch Brown, senior British official for Africa, said if neighboring countries closed their borders, Zimbabweans would have no escape route and the crises would worsen.

The breakdown of the country’s healthcare infrastructure is behind the large number of deaths.
By Thomas H. Maugh II
December 11, 2008

The cholera outbreak that has killed at least 775 people in Zimbabwe is part of an epidemic that has been afflicting Africa for three decades, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The disease is the result of a lack of adequate sanitation and water treatment facilities; the high number of deaths results from the near-total breakdown of the healthcare infrastructure in Zimbabwe.

Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness caused by infection by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae.The organism spreads when infected feces enter the water supply and the bacteria are not killed or removed by treatment. Cholera is no longer a problem in industrialized countries, except for the occasional case brought by returning travelers or caused by consumption of inadequately cooked shellfish.In most people, the infection is mild with few or no symptoms. But about one in 20 victims is stricken with profuse, watery diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps. That can lead to severe dehydration, shock and death.

The profuse diarrhea contaminates water supplies if the feces enters latrines or directly enters rivers and streams, causing the disease to spread rapidly.

Treatment is simple: rehydration with an oral solution made from a prepackaged mixture of sugar and salts. The most severe cases may require intravenous fluid replacement. Treatment must be started within a couple of hours after symptoms develop, however, and Zimbabwe’s lack of health infrastructure makes that difficult.

Antibiotics such as tetracycline can shorten the course of the illness but generally are not necessary if rehydration is adequate.

A new oral vaccine called Dukoral, manufactured by the Swedish company SBL Vaccin, is available in some countries. The CDC says it appears to provide better protection and has fewer side effects than previous vaccines, but the agency does not recommend it for travelers.

USAID Provides Additional $6.2M for Zimbabwe Cholera Outbreak

Last update: 11:52 a.m. EST Dec. 11, 2008
(marketwatch.com)
WASHINGTON, Dec 11, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ — The U.S. government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing an additional $6.2 million and has deployed a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) to help combat the cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe. This assistance is in addition to more than $4.6 million for emergency water, sanitation, and hygiene program that USAID is already implementing in Zimbabwe.
This new funding will provide additional health and water, sanitation, and hygiene programs, as well as allow USAID to support coordination efforts such as intensifying community health and hygiene promotion and education activities. USAID is also bringing in emergency relief supplies such as soap, water bladders and rehydration solution to address the most pressing needs.
The DART, including a specialist from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is working to coordinate the U.S. assistance effort with other donors’ efforts and provide technical assistance to the international community. According to the UN, cholera has caused nearly 800 deaths, with more than 16,400 cases reported.
“The USAID DART is working to get aid to those who have contracted cholera and those who are at risk of contracting cholera,” said USAID Administrator Henrietta H. Fore. “Poor water and sanitation systems coupled with increasingly inaccessible health and other services have caused the cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe. This outbreak is a breakdown of Zimbabwe’s government services, plain and simple.”
This recent contribution brings the total U.S. humanitarian assistance to Zimbabwe’s food and health crisis to more than $226 million since October 2007. This emergency assistance is in addition to the approximately $32.2 million U.S. development program in Zimbabwe in Fiscal Year 2008.
The U.S. is the leading food donor to Zimbabwe, providing the majority of all international food aid distributed through non-governmental organizations and the World Food Program. In addition, the U.S. contributed over $30 million last fiscal year for HIV/AIDS programs and funded 33 percent of the Global Fund’s multilateral programs.
