Why the CIO will determine the next Zimbabwean ruler

There are several historical issues that we have to look at in trying to see what the future holds for Zimbabwe and for that we need to look at some history before we get to a post-Mugabe Zimbabwe.

First, let us enter the Central Intelligence Organization (CIO) for short and see what role it had in shaping post independence Zimbabwe. The CIO's first Chief, Ken Flower was an immensely influential man in the International Intelligence Community and he always maintained very close ties with MI6, most notably Sir Dick Franks and later with Alastair Morrison OBE & MC who was the 2IC for the 22nd SAS Regiment that is very close to MI6.

As intelligence Chief Flower served Britain, Rhodesia and Zimbabwe without pause making him the world's first Intelligence Chief to serve 3 completely different masters. After serving his full term he went peacefully on pension with excellent relations with Britain,
Zimbabwe and the Socialist block remaining remaining intact.

His successor, Danny Stannard also served out his full tenure before going on pension in 1996. Danny's brother Richard served as the Chief of the Directorate of Military Intelligence for the Zimbabwean Army under Mugabe and his cousin also Richard was directly involved in the hijacking of an Air India Aircraft in the Seychelles by South African Hired mercenaries in 1981.

It has been alleged beyond a reasonable doubt that Danny Facilitated Mossad into Zimbabwe to start an operation to facilitate the transfer of Plutonium from the Congo through Zimbabwe. Unfortunately Mossad also found out that the
Stannard's were facilitating sales to North Korea, Syria and Iran through the two Richards. His brother Richard continued to cement close ties with a former Rhodesian Army Colonel Lionel Dyck who is a business partner of Emerson
Mnangagwa.

Colonel Dyck started a lucrative Mine Clearing Company called Minetech which today is owned by Exploration Logistics whose Chairman is Alastair Morrison, thus cementing the ties between big business in Zimbabwe, British Intelligence and Organized Crime as the core value that the CIO rendered the Government of Britain, Smith and Zimbabwe was shadowy business deals, sanctions busting and gunrunning.

This created a world class Intelligence outfit with the sole aim of doing illegal deals and today Mnangagwa is the Minister of Defense, the de facto Chief of the CIO and the only contender to run for President and he has made no secret of his ambitions.

This is why we see that Mnangagwa is engaging the Western press, trying to get rid of the image and nickname of "Crocodile" and generally letting up in public on his hard line stance. Yet in Zimbabwe no one is as feared as the Crocodile.

We also see clear maneuvering from Mnangagwa in the following:

- The 2005 MDC Split, when Colonel Dyck approached Tsvangerai with offers that was believed by many to be true to become the next Chief of Staff in of the Zimbabwean National Army.

- The sinister death of General Solomon Mujuru the former Chief of the Zimbabwean Army and the only person that could have been a real opposition for Mnangagwa.

- There have been reports of financial irregularities with Tsvangerai and still bitterness when he decided to enter the Government of National Unity as Prime Minister.

We will therefore see a concentrated effort by ZANU (PF) to become more "acceptable" and is why to a degree Tsvangarai will be tolerated in the chained capacity that he is in, but not as the President, Wiki Leaks "leakers" will not be punished and gentle measures are looked at to remove Mugabe from office before he dies which seems with the latest information to be quite serious.

Upon closer inspection of the MDC's actual capacity to organize support we see that the party has a very good capacity to drum up support, but no capacity to organize people in the rural areas where the inherent ZANU – PF strengths lie.
The MDC has no support within the Security Structures and also very little capacity to actually govern a country.

Whether we like it or not Emerson Mnangagwa has much more acumen, presence and money to be more effective than Tsvangerai and he also has much larger support from the British Intelligence Community that has close ties with big business interests.
