a story like this,will be SPREADING THE WEALTH..get ready.:cheers2:
Driven from land in Zimbabwe, couple in their 50s seize opportunity in N.C.
Wally Herbst enjoys the view from the deck of his new home on the farm he recently started managing in Wilson County. The Herbsts came to North Carolina after losing their farm to a land redistribution program enforced with death threats.
Sitting at the kitchen table in the couple's apartment in Ayden, Helen remembers vividly what happened next. Two Mazda pickups, bristling with armed police, were waiting for her. Their leader snatched the gate's keys from the employee and turned to Helen.
"This is no longer your property. You have 24 hours to get out," he told her. If you don't, "we'll kill you or put you in jail, whichever you prefer."
It was not an idle threat. In 2000, war veterans killed a neighbor after he refused to leave his farm.
