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.

Aristide heading for South Africa?
Port-Au-Prince – A jet carrying Haiti’s beleaguered President Jean-Bertrand Aristide landed on the island of Antigua for refueling and was headed to South Africa, local radio stations reported.
But the South African government said there had been no recent contact with Aristide nor an offer of asylum.
The United States said international peacekeepers would be deployed soon.
UN diplomats said key Security Council members would begin talks on Sunday about a resolution to authorise an international force.
Prime Minister Yvon Neptune said at a press conference that Aristide resigned to “prevent bloodshed.” At the same news conference, US Ambassador James Foley insisted the United States had not asked Aristide to resign.
“President (Jean-Bertrand) Aristide made a decision for the good of the Haitian people,” Foley said.
“International military forces including US forces will be rapidly arriving in Haiti to begin to restore a sense of security.”
Three hours after Aristide’s departure, Supreme Court Justice Boniface Alexandre declared he was taking over as called for by the constitution. He urged calm after more than three weeks of violence.
“The task will not be an easy one,” Alexandre, who is in his 60s, said at a news conference.
“Haiti is in crisis… It needs all its sons and daughters. No one should take justice into their own hands.”
Despite Alexandre’s declaration that he was in charge, the Haitian constitution calls for parliament to approve him as leader and the legislature has not met since January when lawmakers’ terms expired.
