WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

A Project to save lives in Zimbabwe
The people of Zimbabwe are in distress. It is 18 months since the farm
killings started and since then it has deteriorated rapidly. Although there
are efforts by SADC to resolve the situation, a lot of turmoil is lying ahead
for the country and its people, said former SADF officer and Prisoner of War
Colonel Wynand du Toit, the official spokesperson of the Zimbabwe Emergency
Project. This project was initiated by concerned citizens around the globe
and is coordinated by Colonel du Toit.
Colonel du Toit who heads up Lanseria Protection Services and who is
specialising in farming protection services, made news headlines a few weeks
ago when it was reported that he was planning an initiative to save lives in
neighbouring Zimbabwe. The project was in its planning phase at that point
and since then we are ready to take action. A comprehensive Management
Estimate was conducted by an inter-disciplinary group of highly experienced
experts to assist this initiative in offering disaster relief to all the
affected people of Zimbabwe, Colonel du Toit added.
Disaster relief focuses on alleviating human suffering, on saving lives and
on making emergency provisions for the primary necessities of the victims of
disaster. It is believed that Zimbabwe is on track towards a national
disaster situation as the political leadership has resulted in a serious
breakdown of political-, economical-, and social structures. Although total
disaster has not yet occurred, a critical need for support has been expressed
by the people of Zimbabwe and affirmed by concerned individuals and
businesses internationally and in South Africa.
Humanitarian Aid support projects such as this one, needs to have the support
and approval from at least the South African government. Full support of
international parties and non-governmental organisations such as the
International Red Cross, the UN etc are needed as well. The earlier
newspaper reports were a bit premature as we were putting in place all these
actions. First level discussions with the Department of Foreign Affairs, the
department of Local and Provincial Government and some other governmental
departments and international companies took place to finalise our plans to
assist in humanitarian and support efforts in Zimbabwe, said Colonel du
Toit.
With the situation deteriorating fast, total disaster can be triggered by
events such as food shortages. The Zimbabwean government admitted only in
July that a food crisis was looming and with the political uncertainty before
the election, a possible breakdown of the rule of law, the abrogation of
human rights and rampant crime and anarchy could be a possible scenario
facing the country. This situation is a serious threat to the stability of
not only Zimbabwe, but also of South Africa and the African continent as a
whole. This instability might easily spill over to South Africa in the form
of refugees, illegal aliens, crime and negative economic influences etc.
Reports of crime in the Northern Province of South Africa are on the
increase and our farming community which is already under attack from local
criminals, will be at risk even more, said Colonel du Toit.
We need the support of everyone to make this project work. One of the first
probable projects for us will be food supply to people in some areas. Farm
workers are out of jobs. There already is a shortage of food supplies in some
areas and a lack of money to purchase basic food. This is the first critical
step in our fundraising exercise to appeal to the public and business to
support our efforts of saving lives in a neighbouring country, said Colonel
du Toit.
The Zimbabwe Emergency Project is a registered Section 21 Company (NGO) for
Humanitarian Support Initiatives. These initiatives may cover situations in
which a responsible civilian government is no longer capable of conducting
its tasks effectively, or worse, in which a government turns against its own
people. The objectives of such initiatives are to save lives, to alleviate
human suffering, or to offer the prospect of a dignified existence. Close
cooperation already exists with other organisations such as The Flame Lilly
Foundation of Zimbabwe, which is attending to the interests of Zimbabwean
people in South Africa.
Donations and sponsorships are urgently required to achieve the goal of
saving lives. Another Rwandan situation can be prevented. Donations can be
made to the International Call Centre at (43)+27 11 708 3531, or deposited

I received this in my mailbox this morning. I thought this is a truly worthy
cause. I hope we can pull together on this. Tomorrow it might be us.
Col Wynand du Toit, who is a personal friend of both Jan and myself, has
asked that this be distributed as far and as wide as possible.
The attack on America is hogging the headlines everywhere, which is
understandable, so let us help here as best we can.
