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.

Haiti: A Lesson fromThree Revolutions 200 years ago
President Mbeki has been taking more and more flak for his wasteful trip to Haiti – no doubt a “black power” thing. Apparently, he was the only black leader – the only leader actually – to attend the celebrations (which shows where his mind is).
There was an interesting news article, in the Sunday Times I believe. It stated that 200 years ago three major revolutions occurred: The American War of Independence (1776), the French Revolution, and the Slave Rebellion in Haiti.
It went on to say that two of the three revolutions brought great development and success. The American revolution went on to create a world super-power. The French Revolution revitalised France in many ways. But of the three revolutions, the slave rebellion in Haiti was the only one that led nowhere.
Apparently, at the time of the slave rebellion, Haiti was the richest colony in the western hemisphere. Now, 200 years later Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere.
The newspaper then asked what on earth we could possibly learn from Haiti and why our stupid president went there. Our stupid president made another of his embarrassingly stupid statements that “we could learn from Haiti”. Just weeks before, he said “we can learn from Mugabe”. People are now talking here of the “Mugabe of the Carribean” – Aristide… and why our President is fascinated by him.
The newspaper said: If our President wanted to learn something, why didn’t he go to the USA or France and learn from people who progressed as a result of their revolutions?
