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.

[AZAPO are radical socialist jerks. Jan]
Four months after launching the Azanian People’s Organisation’s no-guns campaign, party president Mosibudi Mangena still possesses a firearm of his own.
Mangena, who is also minister of science and technology, made the admission this week, but said his party colleagues were aware of the fact, and that he intended to get rid of it.
He launched the campaign, which called for a ban on civilian ownership of guns, at Kagiso on the West Rand on April 21.
“An immediate and important step we can take as a country to reduce levels of serious and violent crime, is to remove all guns from civilians,” he said in a speech at the event.

“Only the police and the army should be allowed to carry guns.”
He told Sapa this week however that he still owned a pistol he had had since 1995, when he bought it for protection “as a political person running around all over the country”.
South Africa had only just emerged from the conflict of apartheid, and “things were pretty rough”.
“Having a gun for protection at the time looked like a good idea,” he said.
But he had decided even before the launch of the Azapo campaign that he should hand it over to the police for disposal.

“I strongly believe that in a society that is so violent and where guns are responsible for so many horrendous crimes such as murder, hijackings and armed robberies, that it is incumbent upon us as a society to remove those instruments that make it easier to hurt people.”
He said he had not had time to go to a police station to hand it over, but intended to do so before the end of the year.
“I know I should have done that by now,” he said.
In the meantime, it was locked away safely. – Sapa
