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.

Mozambiquan President: Southern Africa is Angry
[Note. Another old Marxist showing his real colours, standing up for Mugabe. He is probably correct when he says the region is angry because Mugabe has a lot of friends in Southern Africa. These people are like children, they want their cake and they want to eat it. They want everything their way. Now that the Commonwealth has finally punished one of them now they’re all crying about it. But its good. Its time black nations in Africa were treated EQUALLY like everyone else instead of given all this special treatment and being forgiven endlessly. I’m glad Zimbabwe was punished. It is a small slap on the wrist given what Mugabe has done. The adult thing would have been to overthrow him militarily. Jan]
Abuja – Southern African leaders are angry that Zimbabwe was suspended from the Commonwealth under pressure from western nations with no understanding of Africa, Mozambique’s President Joaquim Chissano said on Monday.
“We are unhappy because we cannot accept these undemocratic procedures. We are going to express this as a group,” Chissano told BBC television.
Looking tired and drained, the 65-year-old Mozambican leader, who is also the current head of the African Union, said the Commonwealth had adopted tactics of “pressure and punishment” while its southern African members had been striving to engage in dialogue with President Robert Mugabe’s regime.
Mugabe pulled out of the Commonwealth late on Sunday after a summit of 52 of the body’s leaders agreed to extend Zimbabwe’s 20-month suspension indefinitely, subject to review by Nigeria’s President Olusegun Obasanjo.
But Chissano said the summit was deeply divided on the issue.
“I don’t know what will be the consequence of the decision that was taken here,” he said. “The organisation did not reach this decision by consensus.”
Britain, Australia and Commonwealth Secretary General Don McKinnon have said that Mugabe has done nothing to soften his autocratic rule since Zimbabwe was expelled from the body over a disputed election in March 2002.
But Chissano said that the older Commonwealth members could not understand the situation of those trying to build democracy in southern African states only recently emerging from the rule of “abject racialist powers”.
“There are situations you don’t know how to handle,” he told his British interviewer. “That is why I feel it is unfair. The process of isolation does not bring resolution.”
The leaders at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting began to leave the Nigerian capital Abuja on Monday, after four days of debate and dialogue that was dominated by wrangling over the Zimbabwe issue. A final communique was to be released later in the day.
