Zimbabwe police on shortwave radio sets raid spree

Is shortwave radio dead? No, according to the Zimbabwe government, the Voice of America and other international broadcasters are spreading their propaganda and denouncing their own government, so they are taking shortwave radios away from the public.

How do you like them apples?

“They argue that the radios are propaganda driving tools meant to discredit the government."
No sh** Sherlock! Lacking the resources of the old Soviet government this is their approach to jamming behind a smaller but effective Iron Curtain.

It really is about time that some "gummint agency" went in and shot that b@st@rd Mugabe. But then, haven't all those African countries that expelled their colonial masters, whether they be French, Belgian, British or other, reverted to their original tribal terrorism, just like they had before 'colonialism'. I guess that they are just masters of their own destiny.

Perhaps I'd better be quiet, or I'll be getting a call from those guys in the black suits and Ray-Bans!
