adminMDC-T leader, Mr Morgan Tsvangirai, is a true salesman of imperialism in Zimbabwe. Believe it or not, he is the most difficult imperialist puzzle to muzzle. He has been taught the strategies of disinformation to launch a form of a psychological warfare against his own people, on behalf of his Western paymasters.
For the uninitiated, disinformation is a psychological operation that involves dismantling the mind and right mentality of a target group and install in them false, misleading information to create confusion. Disinformation also installs in the mentality of its victim the inescapable idea that everything you know is wrong, the truth is false, and the false is true.
And that is what Mr Tsvangirai stands for. The library of disinformation was built by the Americans in his head and President Barrack Obama furnishes it with resources. Its key objective is to rob us of our right of reason and to delete our conscience.
False intelligence stories have been fed into the news chain, particularly in the local private media, to create confusion among Zimbabweans; the confusion that is ultimately targeted at creating a non-existent dissatisfaction, a sense of betrayal, among others. The mission is to win unassuming followers.
Not this time!
We have been lied to for far too long and we almost turned against our true leaders, the true revolutionaries and rightful custodians of our pride, and our culture. Now, we need to reboot our national consciousness, refresh and reflect on our past. We pride on radical Pan-Africanism.
In an interview with Nalaka Gunawardene, posted on OneWorld on 5 December 2003, British science fiction author and inventor, Arthur C Clarke rightfully said, “. . . the information age offers much to mankind and I would like to think that we will rise to the challenges it presents. But it is vital to remember that information — in the sense of raw data — is not knowledge, that knowledge is not wisdom and that wisdom is not foresight. But information is the first step to all these”.
To me, this is a trumpet call to Zimbabweans to be wary of the wolf in sheep’s clothing, and Mr Tsvangirai is a real challenge to this information age in Zimbabwe. He represents institutions and instruments that would, at best, send us haywire and at worst, disarm us of reason.
President Obama uses the CIA to manipulate foreign media; the CIA uses Mr Tsvangirai to dis-inform Zimbabweans. In the private press, Mr Tsvangirai’s views are quoted like acceptable facts in Zimbabwe. Yet they are not facts and will never be, from a progressive Zimbabwean’s perspective.
I will give the following example to illustrate the extent of the disinformation campaign on Zimbabwe by the western press. In the past few years a lot has been said and reported in the media about our President, Cde Mugabe’s health. Some journalists might have been paid to report negatively about our President’s health. And this is one of the challenges Arthur Clarke predicted.
On 18 April 2012, Jonathan Azaziah in the Mask of Zion wrote: “the Zionist media (through Morgan Tsvangirai has attempted to dis-inform the Zimbabwean public with reports) about Mugabe’s failing health, all of which, for the record are false and likely planted by enemy intelligence agencies” to trigger unrest in Zimbabwe.
At this critical juncture of our history, it is paramount that we read between the lines and detect the misfits of our Zimbabwean society, in particular, Mr Tsvangirai, who unashamedly wants to smuggle a bucketful of wrongs into our beautiful country; the wrongs he pseudonym-ed rights borrowed from the Western way of life.
Disinformation in military propaganda is part of war, and Mr Tsvangirai is the key architect of the West’s psychological warfare against Zimbabwe and its people. Under the facade of democracy, he hopes to establish corporate dictatorship, that child of the American capitalist dream, unto Zimbabwe.
Sometime in 2001, the then United States Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld created the Office of Strategic Influence, (OSI) or Office of Disinformation, the critics said.
“The Department of Defence said they needed to do this, and they were actually going to plant stories that were false in foreign countries . . . as an effort to influence public opinion across the world”, according to Steve Adubato, in an interview with Fox News in 2002.
We all remember, how “well” Mr Tsvangirai disinformed the Zimbabwean public from 2002, and how well he hopes to continue doing the same to attract the laymen and fool people.
He is not part of us, but part of the whites and white supremacists. Let’s put an end to his disinformation strategies.
