A US Virginia Governor told the legislature: "You may place the slave where you please–you may put him under any process, which, without destroying his value as a slave, will debase and crush him as a rational being–you may do all this, and the idea that he was born to be free will survive it all. It is allied to his hope of immortality–it is the ethereal part of his nature which oppression cannot reach–it is a torch lit up in his soul by the hand of the Deity, and never meant to be extinguished by the hand of man." Robert Mugabe recently told the British American Pharaohs "Only God will remove me!"
May millions of Zimbabweans come out dancing, singing, drumming, and cast their votes in the spirit of self-determination, independence, and pay homage to the greatest African leader and elder statesman in the world President Robert Gabriel Mugabe.
God will honor and bless the Elders and the Ancestors of Africa so that thy days in the land shall be long.
Praise the God that blessed Africa from the beginning of time. The Great God Who has placed the focus of the world on Zimbabwe to express in behalf of the suffering people of the world to blow your Trumpet as a vote for self-integrity, independence, and sovereignty.
Zimbabwe Voters: Remember that "God Hears The Cry Of The Oppressed" and while President Robert Gabriel Mugabe stand's before the biblical Pharaoh slave-making governments of America and Britain in the tradition of the Biblical Gabriel, he blows his trumpet for the freedom, justice, and equality of the African people.
Blow your Trumpet for Robert "Gabriel" Mugabe and cast your votes.
May God give the people of Zimbabwe and Africa the strength and wisdom to protect and strengthen the wisdom of the military generals, and preserve their God-given land and mineral resources.
Blow Your Trumpet, Gabriel
Blow your trumpet blow,
Come Gabriel blow your horn
Let the whole world know
It's time for judgment morn.
Run, run, they're goin' run
To find a hiding place
Run, but not a one
Can ever hide his face.
The important role of defending our country cannot be left to mediocre officers incapable of comprehending and analytically evaluating the operational environment to ensure that the sovereignty of our state is not only preserved, but enhanced...
With the current unjustified demonization of Zimbabwe by Western powers, the role of intelligence in shaping foreign, security and economic policies become even more critical...
Blow Your Trumpet, Gabriel (non italic excepts of United Nations Speech)
Blow your trumpet loud,
Blow your trumpet high
The whole world's goin' shake
From motion depths up to the sky
The day's not far away
The West still negates our sovereignties by way of control of our resources, in the process making us mere chattels in out own lands, mere minders of its trans-national interests. In my own country and other sister states in Southern Africa, the most visible form of this control has been over land despoiled from us at the onset of British colonialism.
That control largely persists, although it stands firmly challenged in Zimbabwe, thereby triggering the current stand-off between us and Britain, supported by her cousin states, most notably the United States and Australia. Mr. Bush, Mr. Blair and now Mr. Brown's sense of human rights precludes our people's right to their God-given resources, which in their view must be controlled by their kith and kin. I am termed dictator because I have rejected this supremacist view and frustrated the neo-colonialists.
Blow Your Trumpet, Gabriel
He's comin' soon I know
Stand upon the land
Take up your horn and blow
This ole' world's a-rockin'
Reeling and a-rockin'
How it a keeps on standin'
I don't know
I lost eleven precious years of my life in the jail of a white man whose freedom and well- being I have assured from the first day of Zimbabwe's Independence. I lost a further fifteen years fighting white injustice in my country.
Ian Smith is responsible for the death of well over 50,000 of my people. I bear scars of his tyranny which Britain and America condoned. I meet his victims everyday. Yet he walks free. He farms free. He talks freely, associates freely under a black Government. We taught him democracy. We gave him back his humanity.
Blow Your Trumpet, Gabriel
Lift up your voice, and shout, Gabriel
Take up your horn and blow, blow,
Come on and blow, your trumpet blow
Come Gabriel, blow your horn
Let the whole world know
It's time for judgment morn
He would have faced a different fate here and in Europe if the 50,000 he killed were Europeans. Africa has not called for a Nuremberg trial against the white world which committed heinous crimes against its own humanity. It has not hunted perpetrators of this genocide, many of whom live to this day, nor has it got reparations from those who offended against it. Instead it is Africa which is in the dock, facing trial from the same world that persecuted it for centuries.
Let Mr. Bush read history correctly. Let him realise that both personally and in his representative capacity as the current President of the United States, he stands for this "civilisation" which occupied, which colonised, which incarcerated, which killed. He has much to atone for and very little to lecture us on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. His hands drip with innocent blood of many nationalities.
Blow Your Trumpet, Gabriel
Run, run, they're goin' run
To find a hiding (to find a hiding place) place
Run, but not a one
Can ever hide his face
Mr. President, We are alarmed that under his leadership, basic rights of his own people and those of the rest of the world have summarily been rolled back. America is primarily responsible for rewriting core tenets of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We seem all guilty for 9/11. Mr. Bush thinks he stands above all structures of governance, whether national or international.
At home, he apparently does not need the Congress. Abroad, he does not need the UN, international law and opinion. This forum did not sanction Blair and Bush's misadventures in Iraq. The two rode roughshod over the UN and international opinion. Almighty Bush is now corning back to the UN for a rescue package because his nose is bloodied! Yet he dares lecture us on tyranny. Indeed, he wants us to pray him! We say No to him and encourage him to get out of Iraq. Indeed he should mend his ways before he clambers up the pulpit to deliver pieties of democracy.
Blow Your Trumpet, Gabriel
Blow your trumpet loud,
Blow your trumpet high
The whole world's goin' shake
From motion depths up to the sky
The British and the Americans have gone on a relentless campaign of destabilising and vilifying my country. They have sponsored surrogate forces to challenge lawful authority in my country. They seek regime change, placing themselves in the role of the Zimbabwean people in whose collective will democracy places the right to define and change regimes.
Let these sinister governments be told here and now that Zimbabwe will not allow a regime change authored by outsiders. We do not interfere with their own systems in America and Britain. Mr Bush and Mr Brown have no role to play in our national affairs. They are outsiders and mischievous outsiders and should therefore keep out! The colonial sun set a long time ago; in 1980in the case of Zimbabwe, and hence Zimbabwe will never be a colony again. Never!
We do not deserve sanctions. We are Zimbabweans and we know how to deal with our problems. We have done so in the past, well before Bush and Brown were known politically. We have our own regional and continental organizations and communities.
Blow Your Trumpet, Gabriel
The day's not far away
He's comin' soon I know
Stand upon the land
Take up your horn and blow,
Blow, Gabriel , blow
Blow, Gabriel, blow
In that vein, I wish to express my country's gratitude to President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa who, on behalf of SADC, successfully facilitated the dialogue between the Ruling Party and the Opposition Parties, which yielded the agreement that has now resulted in the constitutional provisions being finally adopted. Consequently, we will be holding multiple democratic elections in March 2008. Indeed we have always had timeous general and presidential elections since our independence.
Mr. President,
In conclusion, let me stress once more that the strength of the United Nations lies in its universality and impartiality as it implements its mandate to promote peace and security, economic and social development, human rights and international law as outlined in the Charter. Zimbabwe stands ready to play its part in all efforts and programmes aimed at achieving these noble goals.
I thank you.
My Lord's Goin' Move this Wicked Race
Wicked race, wicked race
My Lord's Goin' Move this Wicked Race
Wicked race, wicked race
He's goin to raise up a nation that will obey!... American Negro Gospel Spiritual
