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.

The National Association of People living with HIV and Aids (Napwa) is to hold prayer meetings in all provinces on Wednesday morning in support of Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang.
The main meeting will be in Germiston, said Napwa national director Nkululeko Nxesi on Monday.
Her condition was “improving speedily”, according to her spokesperson Sibani Mngadi.
“The minister remains in a high-care unit at Johannesburg Hospital where she was admitted on Tuesday, February 20,” he said.
‘Insensitive’ remarks
Tshabalala-Msimang is being treated for anaemia and pleural effusion (an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity, a fluid-filled space surrounding the lungs) at Johannesburg Hospital.
She already has had a blood transfusion.
Meanwhile, Napwa lashed out at the Democratic Alliance “for making calls that the minister of health should be removed from the office, as she is currently sick”.
Last week, the African National Congress parliamentary caucus said it was appalled at the insensitive remarks attributed to DA spokesperson Dianne Kohler-Barnard.
“The reference to the minister as a ‘terrifying sight’ and that she must be removed from office ‘before dying there’ by the DA MP, as quoted in the weekend press, is a shocking defiance of basic standards of human behaviour.
“The ANC caucus is shocked by Ms Kohler-Barnard’s insensitivity and lack of human decency.”
Nxesi said the DA’s “inhumane” comments were a reminder of how the apartheid regime dealt with people who were sick.
“People were just taken out of their work, and dumped at their homes without any social assistance.
“(The) DA should realise that everyone, including the minister of health, cannot be fired on the basis of her ill health.”
Nxesi went on to say that Tshabalala-Msimang’s role and leadership guidance was “more needed now than ever before”.
“As the country is finalising the new national country strategic plan and the revival of SA National Aids Council, her inputs and leadership are crucial.”
Her ‘positive role’
The organisation had always appreciated and acknowledged the important role the minister had played in leading the struggle for transformation of health care system “for the betterment of the African population in general and historically disadvantaged communities in particular in this country”.
“Napwa is also aware of the positive role that our minister is playing in the African and international health forums in speaking on behalf of the African population on matters of health,” said Napwa.
