Loading ...on Zimbabwe after 15 years Whites are asked to come back because they are short of food…..Well let them eat Cake !
The Mugbe gang killed whites ,stole the productive Land and converted it to growing Tobacco ,a crop that would give them CASH to steal from the people .They could have continued to grow food but its harder to steal food because it requires some much effort and its needed to eat !
Being from Virginia at least for the last 40 years I learned something about Tobacco. It drains the Land of minerals ,it depletes the Soil rapidly and requires replacing those minerals or re investing in your crop ..in short theres no free lunch.
Mugabe is at the point where he drained all the minerals stole all the Cash and NOW blames the Weather for his current plight.So what does he do ? He invites Whites to com back to keep him from starving and his mistakes and also to take the blame .
Heres a quote from Old Virginia Farmer ”
” However, by 1700 it was clear that the Virginian leaders had committed to getting their labor from Africa. In the second half of the 17th Century the Virginia gentry institutionalized and expanded slavery for one primary reason: to obtain the labor needed to farm tobacco. Without tobacco, slavery in Virginia may have died out as the practice did in the northern states – and without the economic factor of slavery, Virginia might have chosen to stay with the Union rather than join the Confederacy in the American Civil War in 1861-65.
Tobacco seeds are very, very tiny. Tobacco seedlings are grown in seedbeds of very fine soil, then transplanted to farm fields in the late spring after all danger of frost is past. Each slave or indentured servant working on a tobacco plantation in colonial days may have planted and weeded about two acres of cleared land with 9-10,000 plants a year, requiring bending over perhaps 50,000 times.
Tobacco drained the soil of key nutrients, requiring labor to clear forests so tobacco could be planted in fresh soil. “Old fields” had to remain unplanted for one-two decades before soil fertility was restored naturally (unless fertilized with animal manure). The most economical way to grow tobacco was on large farms, where most of the acreage could be left unused for 20 years:2 “
So as you see it going to take TWO Decades to UNDO what Mugabe did ! .Even with Modern methods I hear it takes 7 Years to replemish and rid the Soil of Toxins of Tobacco.
No wonder he invites Whitey back ,his future is grim and the GRIM Reaper AWAITS HIM .
If Mugabe’s Starving and all those Goons that stole the Land cultivated by others are also starving …I say Let them Eat Cake !
