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.

Namibia: White owned farms could still be seized
THE Namibian Farm Workers’ Union’s threat to occupy some commercial farms was kept alive yesterday after crunch talks with the commercial farmers union did not produce a settlement.
Nafwu General Secretary Alfred Angula declared the meeting with the Namibia Agricultural Union (NAU) “a total failure”.
He told The Namibian that the meeting had failed to discuss the “main issue” – the eviction of farmworkers from farms.
“That meeting was to guide us in our short- and long-term plan of action, and we did not get anything out of it because they (NAU representatives) avoided the crux of the matter,” Angula said.
However, the Nafwu leader signed a joint statement issued at the end of the meeting, which indicated consultations between the two parties would continue.
Angula said the Nafwu Executive Committee will meet soon to decide on the next course of action in view of yesterday’s meeting outcome.
Angula said Nafwu would not abandon its plan to occupy some commercial farms as long as the solution to the eviction of farmworkers was not found.
“There is no way that we are going to abandon our land-sharing plan until such time that we reach and sign an acceptable agreement on the eviction of farmworkers,” he said.
The Chairman of the Agricultural Employers’ Federation (AEF), an affiliate of NAU, Helmut Sortsh, said there were already enough national forums where the issue of the eviction of farmworkers was being addressed.
“Apart from the channels that are already there to deal with the issue, we (Nafwu and NAU) agreed to come with a joint proposal to be discussed with Government … but Nafwu seems to be in a hurry, maybe they had high expectations from this (yesterday’s) meeting,” Sortsh said.
A two-member team, Angula and the vice-chairman of AEF, Dirk Sobotta, was appointed to draw up guidelines for addressing issues related to farmworkers and land reform.
Nafwu recently revealed a controversial plan to initiate “farm sharing” by returning former farm labourers to 15 commercial farms from which they had been dismissed.
Although the occupation plan drew widespread criticism, it prompted yesterday’s crucial meeting with representatives of commercial farmers.
Apart from affirming mutual recognition of each other’s role, Nafwu and NAU also used the meeting to commit themselves to protect the rights of both farmworkers and owners.
