Propaganda in quest to conquer history

From Reason Wafawarova in SYDNEY, Australia

IT is rather a surprise that each problem with the MDC-T is viewed by the party’s admirers as a corroboration of the shortcomings of the party’s political opponents, and we are told that the calcareous plague of corruption bedevilling the party now is all a creation of Zanu-PF, simply because it is comforting for those involved to speak like that, or it serves as a cosmetic cover to the fading fortunes of the Western-backed political outfit.

This attitude has created in the MDC-T a leadership made up of characters that trifle in politics, all the time trying to excite admiration from vanity. These political flirts coquette in the comfort of the knowledge that they have unwavering backing from a consortium of a grossly unrefined para-media publishing nothing but hostilities against not only Zanu-PF, but any group of Zimbabweans seen as standing in the way of Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC-T.

Dilemmas of political analysis (The Herald)

READERS sometimes attack political writers and commentators for focusing criticism against the activities of certain groups; and for this writer, against the imperial West and those who offer the US-led Western alliance lap-dog support.

Noam Chomsky is attacked for focusing his criticism against the activities of the United States, and not so much against the official enemies of the United States, for example the old Soviet Union, Vietnam or Cuba.

Stephen Gowans is attacked for focusing his criticism against the activities of the US-led Western alliance and not so much on the West’s official enemies like Iran, North Korea or Zimbabwe.

The same criticism is levelled against John Pilger, the Australian journalist and writer.

Rejectionism and doctrine of stalemates (The Herald)

MDC-T spokesperson’s position on the Global Political Agreement negotiations and the workability of the idea of the inclusive Government, in which he is Information Communication Technology Minister; has always been an expression of a pertinacious obstinacy where declaration of deadlocks and stalemates have become part and parcel of the young minister’s odious character.

From the early days of negotiations in South Africa, all the way to the current position of the so-called "outstanding issues", Nelson Chamisa has always chosen to posture as this uncompromising rejectionist with an unquenchable addiction to stalemates.

To him Zanu-PF does not deserve an agreement but a permanent rejection of whatever they stand for, that by way of dogmatic doctrinal commitment that has no regard for logic.
