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.

One of the Cape’s most feared men, Johannes Mowers, will spend the next eight months and eight days behind bars in Porterville waiting to face 34 criminal charges in the Cape High Court.
On Monday Mowers made his fourth appearance at Caledon magistrate’s court, where a three-page charge sheet was presented.
The list contains eight charges of rape, four of them for occasions when he allegedly first broke into houses to reach his victims.
The other 26 charges include housebreaking with the intent to steal, theft, robbery, assault, indecent assault, housebreaking with intent to assault, malicious damage to property, abduction or, alternatively, kidnapping of a minor.
The charges come after the discovery of two girls in an underground hideaway in the Hemel en Aarde Valley between Caledon and Hermanus on March 4.
Mowers arrived at the Caledon court under heavy guard.
But the shackled man who climbed from the back of the warders’ van appeared starkly different to the fugitive arrested on March 4.
Then, after 39 months of playing hide-and-seek with police, he was gaunt and pale – the latter after moving around mainly at night and days spent in the underground hut where he allegedly kept the two girls, aged 15 and four, captive for at least 14 months.
On Monday, in a new tracksuit, he appeared fit and well-fed.
Mowers is already serving a one-year sentence for theft, suspended for four years, and a three-year jail term for escaping lawful custody.
As he was led past the fence he scaled on November 8, 2003, police were overhead muttering: “He doesn’t stand a chance this time.”
Mowers made his appearance before magistrate Hans van Dyk.
After a wait of four hours, prosecutor Belinda Venter presented Van Dyk with the charge sheet which the court had been faxed by the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions in Cape Town.
The court heard he would face the charges in the city on April 7.
Before his appearance in April, Mowers faces another outstanding matter at the Caledon court on October 4.
