Rainbow in Zimbabwe by Calvin Jones

This is a two Rainbows event - look at the darker left side to see one of them - in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe photography by by Calvin Jones.

When all information we have at the mainstream media about Zimbabwe are torture and pain and even if you want to go to the country as a tourist the travel guides spread nothing but fear about your trip it is difficult to remember that there is a country and even people who lives at peace.

Zimbabwe: The truth will set you free exhibition

I thought about publishing pictures of torture in Zimbabwe but I found these paintings and they are so good that speaks louder than photographies.

It is again from Flickr By Sokwanele - Zimbabwe and is registered here: “The truth will set you free” – art exhibition organised by Radio Dialogue

Oil reserves by countries, Iraq war and torture in Zimbabwe

Oil Reserves as of 2001
rank	Country	Reserves in billions of barrels
1.	Saudi Arabia	261.7
2.	Iraq	112.5
3.	United Arab Emirates	97.8
4.	Kuwait	96.5
5.	Iran	89.7

7.	Russia	48.6
8.	Libya	29.5

I believe these numbers speak for themselves. "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." George Orwell "I ain’t got nothin’ against them Viet Cong. No Cong ever called me Nigger." Cassius Clay "I did not think so at first. But the US is incredibly dependent on oil, They wanted to secure oil in case competition on the world market becomes too hard." Dr. Hans Blix "Since the Second World War, the US has bombed China, Korea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, Guatemala (again), Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Guatemala (third time lucky), Grenada, Lebanon, Libya, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Iran, Panama, Iraq, Kuwait, Somalia, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia - in that order - and in not a single case did the bombing produce a democratic government as a direct result." Terry Jones source: here. I would like to remember that the Iraq invasion started around March, 2003. I remember watching at BBC Zimbabweans being tortured by Mugabe. Only for one day they reported it and I didn't see nothing else being said anymore about the tortures that happened at that time.
