WHY - WHAT - WHO -WHEN and HOW...To Save a Nation.

One of the differences found within theZIMBABWEinsurgency blog, is that the posts are largely concerned with looking into WHY events occur, along with any possible consequences; far more than just looking at WHAT events took place.

Current affiars sections are hosted at the top and bottom of the site, but this site does not merely exist for the purposes of broadcasting the news.

This site could be dedicated to presenting the same endless circular issues like...continuing the the illusion that a final opposition victory will come via the so called 'run-off'...or the endless number crunching of the ‘%’ figures of a known flawed (rigged), election process; or the latest harsh or empty rhetoric of this or that political actor, who is seeking or clinging onto power...

Indeed it would be easy to follow the present journalistic trend that somehow manages to turn the endless stream of distraction into media for the masses; but whose interests does this type of reporting and commentary serve?

Many people interested in seeking genuine positive changes know that any real redemption cant be gained by people merely seeking to highlight events that impact at the surface level of the Zimbabwean social political scene.

They know that the root of our troubles exist at the level of the individual and national psyche and must be challenged there.

Merely commenting in a partisan 'knee-jerk reaction', format or just seeing the tip of the proverbial iceberg while ignoring the depths is wholly insufficient to the task at hand.

Thus the simple justification for this stance is that whereas other Zimbabwe orientated sites chase particular news events within Zimbabwe one tragic, or exterior issue at a time, (often themselves getting caught within the surge of partisan bias, subjectivity, or emotion; often becoming part of the overall circus) Our mission is to always view things from a step back seeking a level of analytical objectivity.

We are not bystanders, the stunned audience of some sick reality T.V. show entitled 'Death of the Nation.'

We believe that we Zimbabweans are our own liberators, that far too often, the fighting elephants ignore the ordinary grass under their ambitious feet. That the respective actors in the political parties are time and again exposed as working in their own elite interests to empower themselves and disempower the ordinary people.

So you could call this active popular journalism...not just watching events but making them happen also.

The danger is that when people don’t seek to have the power to make events happen, they watch events taking place and become bystanders hoping for the best, rather than the actors creating the best for themselves.
At present as far as the big picture is concerned Zimbabwe has far too many ‘bystanders’ watching the destruction of the country from positions of helplessness and detachment and self interest.

The social political issue within Zimbabwe is as dynamic as it is complex, no one is 100% in a state of inertia, the responses motives and agendas involved have created a situation that is deeper than the simple story of good versus evil, dictators versus democrats, patriots versus sell-outs that many involved would have the general public believe.

The level of exploitation and manipulation of ordinary people by political parties and the media and varied foreign interests shows the depth of this complexity and the reason behind the need to always place the ideal of a attaining a progressive Zimbabwe first in these troubled times regardless of our partisan motives or interests in order that the problem will be genuinely solved.

The issue here speaks also of the difference between a sponsored ‘Opposition’ and organised ‘Resistance’.
There are many, who for many years, have believed it is wrong to prepare for the worst-case scenario. That being a nation state controlled by a military junta...the total opposite of a nation where the Government fears the people and is a true public servant; a state where eternal public vigilance is the price of liberty.

Many people are just as aware as we are of the cultural, moral, economic and military suicidal tendency of a number of unworthy people in ALL the political parties of the constitutional republic of Zimbabwe.

Yet many still allow for the fearful or selfish 'worshipping' of our political leadership as part of some rigid, mindless personality cult or means to fulfil their grasping ambitions.

The glut of careerist, 'gravey train' riding opportunists and the near endless treasonous conspiracies of the Professional Politicians.
The brilliant, deceptive propaganda vomited at us daily by the lapdogs of the False Prophet Press; and the wilful ignorance of many on ALL sides who endlessly claim to speak for 'the people', using that phrase to destroy all critical thinking, by wielding the beating stick of an assumed tyrannical majority; as if only those individuals that support them form the entire political life of the country.

The OPFOR believe that they are onto a winner labelling the Opposition and civic society as fifth columnists backing a Western take over...While they allow Zimbabwe to be swallowed up from the East.
The OPPOSITION believe that they are onto a winner labelling the OPFOR regime and ALL Zanu PF members as the sole national problem...While they allow Zimbabwe to be swallowed up from the West.

Understand the true purpose and importance of the Resistance--the last and ultimate check against the power of ANY government that does not place Zimbabwean interests FIRST.

Hardliners on both sides seek to confuse the issue, having placed their own power and ego before any national interests. Partisan minds within ALL camps, those with most to gain from the chaos, project the idea that Zimbabwe can only be restored by educating the masses within the present system to obey only their singular party line, and be loyal to their particular party...but WHY?

This type of false Patriotism is typified in every corner of our nation when in reality the ‘follower’ mindset they hold should have been consigned to the dustbin ages ago. Ask these ‘true believers’ to painstakingly detail the abundance of illegal, manipulative, tyrannical and unjustified abuses by their own side against the people, is tantamount to blasphemy.

To go through the entire issue objectively showing them that all too few are placing the country first; that there exists positive and negative on all sides is a literally exhausting task.
So infuriating is it to find out what is really going on and to realize that one has to excavate some obscure, hard-to-find concept called an ‘open mind’ to explain the truth about one's own country.

As I mentioned, the folks in the Opposition understand the word CHANGE as an event, but do not seem to understand WHY the partisan behaviour of an unfortunately representative minority will kill the very CHANGE so often spoken about.

The OPFOR espouse the rhetoric of freedom while enslaving and brutalising the very people they claimed to have fought for...but WHY?

Most of us like to think we are intellectuals. Yet to seek success in a true revolution is to clearly seek to expose the difference between those merely seeking power and those genuinely seeking a better national dispensation...

THIS IS DONE NOT ONLY BY RETELLING THE STORY OF WHAT TOOK PLACE BUT AT A DEEPER LEVEL STUDYING –WHY- EVENTS TAKE PLACE.
