UP GO THE WALLS

The Botswana Zimbabwe border: much of it now fenced.

Botswana, Zimbabwe row over electric border fence

Relations between Botswana and Zimbabwe are reported to be deteriorating as the Batswana government continues to construct an electric fence along the two countries' border. Botswana is fencing out the increasing numbers of Zimbabweans fleeing their country's economic and political collapse.
The Zimbabwean government has claimed that "Botswana is trying to create another Gaza Strip" by constructing an electric fence, according to Zimbabwe's High Commissioner to Botswana, Phelekeza Mphoko. In Harare, the 2.4 metre high fence has caused protest and frustration, as it is seen as a symbol of the growing stigmatisation of Zimbabweans.

[Earlier this year the government of Botswana decided to erect a four metre-high electric fence along the 500km border shortly after an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in that area.]



US border fence plan 'shameful'

The 260-159 voice vote on an amendment to a bill on illegal immigration "mandates the construction of specific security fencing, including lights and cameras, along the Southwest border for the purposes of gaining operational control of the border.

Mexican President Vicente Fox has described a US proposal to build a fence along 1130km of their 3200km border as "shameful".
He said the proposal - which Mexican officials have compared to the Berlin Wall - was a "very bad signal" from a nation of immigrants.
The US House of Representatives passed an immigration bill last week, backing the building of such a fence.




The 'separation barrier".

Israel's 'security wall': the findings

According to Reuters, the leaked report from the international court of justice has condemned Israel's barrier.
"The Court ... finds that the construction of the wall, and its associated regime, are contrary to international law."

Despite the fact that Israel has the better arguments regarding both the jurisdiction and merits, the World Court will most likely accept jurisdiction and declare that the fence - at least in its current route - is a violation of international law. The arguments outlined above will likely have little impact on the court, especially since it has previously stated that the political context or implications of an opinion would not affect its decision-making.31 -- Jerusalem Centre for Public Affairs






And what is happening in Giza?

Walls Encircle Pyramidal Complex at Giza

Since the beginning of 2002, Dr. J.J. Hurtak and a European team of investigators and explorers have been recording the construction of a massive system of walls being placed around the historic pyramidal sites and the larger unexcavated area of Giza, Egypt — an area covering 8 square km.
The walls have been built in stages. Images taken in February of 2002 reveal the walls extending far out into the desert where, for the most part, they have not been noticeable to the average visitor.

[Are these walls being built for a few experts who are to find an underground sphinx or obelisk, or a connection between Osiris and the constellation of Orion? Are the chambers of the deep being closed in the 21st century to students of world culture history?]
