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.

S.Africa: Armed rapists stalk couples in lovers" lanes
An armed gang has been stalking romancing couples parked in their cars along the [Cape] Peninsula’s “lovers’ lanes” this festive season, robbing them and raping the women before dumping their victims on Strandfontein beach.
Detectives from the serious and violent crime unit have linked the gang to at least four attacks at Clifton, Oudekraal, Muizenberg and Table Mountain.
Police believe several more “midnight lovers” may have fallen prey to the gang of five, but the victims chose not to report the incidents to keep their affairs secret.
The recent spate of attacks followed the same pattern, including one on December 12 at about 11pm when a young Dutch woman was ordered to strip and perform oral sex with one of her kidnappers who had driven off with her in her boyfriend’s car from a lookout point on Table Mountain.
‘Several more midnight lovers may have fallen prey’
They were attacked by two armed men who robbed them of their wallets and cellphones, demanded the secret pin numbers of their bank cards and forced them into the back of the vehicle before driving off. The men then pulled over on Tafelsig Road next to a Mazda Rustler bakkie where they handed their loot over to an accomplice and told him to draw cash from the accounts.
At that point one of the attackers got into the back of the vehicle and ordered the woman to sit next to the driver. They then drove off towards Strandfontein on the N2.
Meanwhile, the accomplice who had taken the wallets tried in vain to draw cash from the victims’ accounts at an ATM in Camps Bay because the couple had given false pin codes.
The couple was dumped at Strandfontein beach by the men who apparently planned to rape the woman, but then lost their nerve and fled.
Another attack under investigation occurred in Oudekraal on December 18 when a 20-year-old Kuils River woman, who was with her boyfriend in a secluded picnic spot in Victoria Road around midnight, was abducted and raped on Strandfontein beach.
‘They were attacked by two armed men’
Police said the men emerged from the bushes near the car, threatened the couple at gunpoint and drove around with them in the southern suburbs for a while until they headed for Strandfontein along Baden Powell Drive. On the beach one of the men guarded the man while the other raped the woman.
After the men fled in their car the couple flagged down a private security patrol in Baden Powell Drive, who took them to the police.
In the third attack, on December 23, a Pinelands woman was sitting with her boyfriend in his car at Muizenberg Pavilion, another “lovers’ lane” spot, when the gang forced their way into the couple’s car at gunpoint and drove off with them to an ATM in Grassy Park where they withdrew cash from the male victim’s account.
They then drove to a parking area on the banks of Zeekoei Vlei where the woman was raped by four of the men on Strandfontein beach before they fled in the car.
In the fourth attack, two men who emerged from Clifton beach at about 2am on December 30, were surrounded by three men fitting the suspects’ description who forced them to hand over their wallets and supply their autobank pin numbers. The gunmen then fled in their victims’ car.
Police spokesperson Andre Traut said couples were vulnerable to gangsters who knew they would be soft targets and could literally be caught “with their pants down”.
Traut appealed to couples to avoid the temptation of visiting lovers’ lanes late at night as it was not worth their lives, or being raped.
Camps Bay police said lovers at picnic spots along Victoria Road, Oude Kraal, had become a real “headache” for them. They routinely patrolled the route and asked couples to leave for their own safety.
Traut urged anyone who had been attacked recently in similar circumstances and who had not yet reported the incident, or people who knew the culprits, to contact investigating officer Riaan Kielblock on 021 935 9600. He said all information and the identity of victims would be treated with the strictest confidence.
