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.

Oct 05 2007 — Journalist Nerissa Govender reports from Pietermaritzburg in South Africa that prominent local Ismael Noorgat, wife Shazia and their newborn baby are lucky to be alive.
The BL-5C-battery inside his Nokia 6230i-cellphone apparently exploded while it was being reloaded on Tuesday night while he and his family — wife, husband and baby — were asleep in the same bed.
The Pietermaritzburg shopkeeper only found out after the injuries sustained by his family that the Nokia 6230i-cellphone had one of the 46-million cellphone batteries recently recalled by the manufacturer.
His wife Shazia woke up screaming in fear at about 1am, saying she’d heard an ‘explosion’. Mr Noorgat said he heard a zooming noise but for some reason, was totally unable to speak.
“I could only get out of bed after the electricity had left my body,” he said.
During the explosion of the battery, it flew out of the cellphone and landed beneath their bed.
He incurred burns on his left hand, beneath his arm and on his feet and the t-shirt he was wearing is burnt.
A hole ‘the size of a 20-cent piece’ was burnt into Mrs Noorgat’s nightgown.
And their six-week-old baby who was asleep atop his mom’s tummy, incurred burns to the lips and his clothes were scorched.
Mrs Noorgat said she ‘became hysterical when she saw ‘lightning tear through the room’. She didn’t know what was happening to her husband – and initially feared that her baby had been killed. The entire incident lasted no more than 10 seconds, she believed.
Mr Noorgat now urges people to make certain that their cellphones do not contain the Nokia BL-5C-batteries which have been recalled.
He’s considering legal steps – and the company says they are ‘investigating’.
