Every so often, you get a glimpse of what evil really is. There are few regimes on this earth as brutal and cruel as that of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Yet the hordes of demonstrators who poured into the streets to protest Israel’s Gaza operation are not perturbed by Mugabe; many of them would probably hail this vicious dictator as a courageous anti-imperialist.
Mugabe turns 85 this month, and his ruling ZANU-PF party is preparing a lavish birthday celebration. While Zimbabwe’s citizens cower in terror and face famine and cholera, Mugabe and his thugs will enjoy:
2,000 bottles of champagne — Moët & Chandon and ’61 Bollinger
500 bottles of whisky — Johnny Walker Blue Label, 22-year-old Chivas
8,000 lobsters
100kg king prawns
3,000 ducks
4,000 portions of caviar
8,000 boxes of Ferrero Rocher
16,000 eggs
3,000 cakes — chocolate and vanilla
4,000 packs of pork sausages
500kg cheese
4,000 packets of crackers
Where are the protests?
Sense and sensibility left the fanatical left oh, about 60 years ago. Those protesters you allude to would cheer Mugabe sitting on a throne of skulls not in spite of but because of it. Are we told by them the inevitable revolution is bound to be bloody? Omlettes, Eggs, ya gotta break them.
Anyway, they would just blame the US, capitalism, globalism and such.
