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.

Britain and international media watchdogs have hit out at the Zimbabwe
government over the persecution of journalists. They were reacting to the
arrest of the editor of an independent newspaper Mark Chavanduka.
Chavanduka is the seventh journalist to be detained in Zimbabwe in the past
week.
Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jack Straw says the treatment of journalists in
Zimbabwe is a hallmark of a brutal and insecure regime. He says it is
appalling and outrageous how the government is trying to stamp out dissent.
International media watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, has also expressed
concern at an alleged “hit list of journalists” reportedly drawn up by the
Zimbabwean government.
The government says Chavanduka has been arrested for defamation. This is over
an article alleging that President Robert Mugabe was haunted by the ghost of
a liberation war military commander, Josiah Tongongara. The story was
reproduced from the London Sunday Times.
Trevor Ncube, the Standard Newspaper’s chief executive officer, says
Chavunduka was questioned for most of yesterday before being released.
Chavunduka was also arrested and tortured in 1999 for a story alleging a
foiled coup plot to oust Mugabe.
