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.

[I was at a meeting at work, when one of those attending was reading The Citizen newspaper shaking his head at this rubbish. So in the exchange which followed, two of my co-workers discussed this saying that now these (black) youths are trashing and destroying the university and chances are they don’t even pay their fees.
The Communist trash incite this kind of barbaric behaviour. Here they are smashing up the only hope we have in this country for higher learning.
This country has no future with this kind of rubbish going on. Jan]
There was chaos at Wits university on Wednesday after police fired rubber bullets during a student protest, the Young Communist League (YCL) said.
“As I am speaking to you there is chaos at Wits… there was a peaceful march until management brought police to disrupt the march – instead of police making sure it was peaceful they started shooting at students,” said spokesperson Castro Ngobese.
Wits management spokesperson Shirona Patel confirmed that rubber bullets were fired by police as warning shots when police asked the students to disperse and they refused.
Police spokesperson Captain Cheryl Engelbrecht could not confirm that shots had been fired but said she had heard that arrests had been made.

Earlier, protesting students stormed into lecture theatres disrupting classes and chasing lecturers.
Patel said disgruntled students went on the rampage shortly after talks in a bid to resolve their grievances failed.
Students were protesting over increases in up-front fees payments and against students having to pay for their own accommodation.
They demanded no increase for 2008 and were against the privatisation of student accommodation.
Almost 500 students started protesting on Wednesday morning on the East and West campuses,
Chennel Jagesur, a second year Actuarial Science student who had her lectures disrupted, described their actions as “petrifying”.
“We were sitting in our lecture room, waiting to write a test which had been scheduled for 4pm, when about 70 to 80 students entered carrying sticks, and began jumping on the desks,” said Jagesur.
Her lecturer tried to stop the protesting students, but was pushed aside, she said.
“Some protesters were singing and chanting, while the others rubbed off information that was written on the black board,” Jagesur said.
“It was an extremely frightening experience.”
There were no police patrolling the campus at the time of the incident, the student said.
University Registrar Derek Swemmer said the demand of no fee increases by the Student Representative Council was “unrealistic”.
Students would have to pay an up-front fee of almost R5 500 next year.
Protesting BSC student Kagiso Malema pleaded with the university to re-think the increases.
“They cannot do this to us, some of us are not here on bursaries and we are already battling to pay fees for this year,” he said,
“I already have to pay R17 000 for this year, and now a further up-front payment of R5 500 in 2008. If I do not pay it by April, then interest is added.”
Swemmer said the privatisation of residences was due to an increase of students from 20 000 to 25 000 students.
“Students placed in this accommodation will be individuals who are able and willing to pay their own way,” he said. – Sapa
