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.

Brussels – The African Union (AU) on Wednesday denounced EU “double standards” in taking action against Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe while ignoring abuses by other African leaders.
“I would have preferred that there were no double standards at the European level, even for judging heads of state,” the AU representative in Brussels, ambassador Mahamat Annadif, told reporters.
“We talk about Zimbabwe, but for me there are other heads of state who are just as important to avoid as Mugabe, but they have support… which means that today, no one says a word to them,” he said, without actually naming any leaders.
He put some of the inconsistency down to Britain’s attitude to its former colony, which was to make Zimbabwe “its problem”.
Annadif’s remarks came after British Prime Minister Tony Blair called for tougher EU measures against Zimbabwe, describing the situation there as “appalling, disgraceful and utterly tragic.”
The European Union slapped sanctions, including travel bans and an arms embargo, on Mugabe’s regime after controversial elections in 2002 won by the long-serving ruler, which the opposition insists were rigged.
The sanctions were extended in February 2007 until February 2008.
“We will press the European Union to widen the political sanctions that were introduced in 2002 and introduced very much as a result of our prompting at the time,” Blair told parliament.
“That assets freeze and travel ban we will seek to extend as far as we can.” – Sapa-AFP
