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.

South Africa funds Taylor"s asylum with $1 million
Lagos – Exiled former President of Liberia, Charles Taylor, is alleged to be staying in Nigeria on a $1 million (about N140 million) annual lifeline from the South African government. A competent Presidency source, who disclosed this to Daily Champion in Lagos, said the lifeline was part of agreement reached between Taylor and South African President Thabo Mbeki to enable the former go into exile in the first place. According to the source, Nigeria was mandated by African leaders to, among other things, ensure the provision of “a very comfortable accommodation” for the former Liberian warlord. The source said that the pact is part of a mechanism worked out by the African leaders to ensure peace, security and good governance on the continent. According to the source, Taylor could have refused to go on exile and instead stay back and fight it out, but for pressure from other African leaders, leading to the provision of the lifeline by President Mbeki as a lure.
The source, who pleaded anonymity, added that efforts are under way by the African leaders to make President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe agree to go on exile in order to ensure peace and stability in that country. Mugabe has been under severe pressure from Britain, the United States (US) and the opposition over some of his policies. According to the source, African leaders will not allow Taylor answer to criminal war crime charges at the United Nations (UN) special court in Sierra Leone as that would amount to reneging on conditions agreed upon for the exile to materialise.
Daily Champion also gathered that it was in view of ongoing efforts to ensure good governance on the continent that President Olusegun Obasanjo, is billed to visit Zimbabwe today to continue consultations with President Mugabe on options open to him to ensure that country’s reintegration into the Commonwealth. Three prominent African leaders had soon after Taylor went into exile, held a meeting with Mugabe in which the exile option was sold to him. At that meeting, Daily Champion gathered Mugabe was told to nominate a successor to the office, who the three leaders agreed to help sell to Europe and the world as a suitable replacement. The leaders reportedly also agreed to fund a world tour by anybody nominated by Mugabe, and also make funds available to him for campaigns and election in the country.
