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.

[This is one of those “Traditional Healers” which we used to (rightly) refer to as a “WitchDoctor”. The fool has obviously been watching too many of these magic shows from America without actually realising that there was NO REAL MAGIC involved!! David Blane – stop your nonsense – you’re giving people some wrong ideas mate!

There is a similar story told in this book written by an American who has lived in Africa for over 30 years: Racism, Guilt, Self-Hatred & Self-Deceit (eBook) . It mentions how on the Pacific Islands, people saw Americans in WWII building runways, waving their arms and then planes land with goods. So years later… long after WWII, these islanders have these rituals where they build these runways, wave their arms and then wait for the planes to land – but they never do.

Anyhow, the incident below is maybe proof that Darwinism is a good idea!

These naughty ancestral river spirits in the story below – I’m going to have a sharp word with them!! Jan]

DAR ES SALAAM (AFP) – A traditional medicine man in Tanzania drowned after jumping in a river and promising to resurface three days later with relevations from ancestral spirits, police said Tuesday.

The local witch doctor, named as Nyasio Alfonso, staged his ill-fated stunt last week at the village of Masingo in the western Mpanda district near Lake Tanganyika, Rukwa regional police commander Daudi Siadi told AFP.

Dozens of villagers chanted and drummed as the fortune-teller dived to confer with the riverine spirits, he said.

“The incident was reported to us by the village leadership on Sunday, four days after Alfonso threw himself into the river,” he said. “His decomposing body was fished out several metres downstream.”

The police officer said the incident was the first of its kind in the region. “We are not aware of such practices although belief in witchcraft is widespread in Rukwa region,” he said.
