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 can’t help but chuckle. None of these arrogant African leaders has
managed to equal or better the achievements of colonialism. They all get
billions of dollars in FREE money from the West for decades and many have
had their debt written off. They inherited functioning countries decades
ago and ran them into the ground. But, they still shriek at the West.
The Russians started all this nonsense back in the 1920’s when they
decided to attack and destroy the colonial empires. All this rhetoric
comes from black Marxists who were taught by the Russians to blame all
their problems on the West.
Note too, the communism, blames all the poverty in the world on capitalism.
This story of blaming all the ills of Africa on colonialism is just
another swipe at the West and another excuse to bum more money off them.
Below is the news report from the so-called Conference on Racism, which is
just a podium from which Israel, America and the Western World can be
attacked ad nauseum:-
By DINA KRAFT, Associated Press Writer
DURBAN, South Africa (AP) – African leaders at the World Conference Against
Racism on Saturday asked for Western countries to apologize for the
destruction caused by colonialism and slavery but were divided on calls for
reparations.
An apology would recognize the wrong that was committed against Africans and
constitute a promise that such an atrocity would never happen again, Nigerian
President Olusegun Obasanjo said.
With an apology, (96)`(96)`the issue of reparations cease to be a rational option,’
he said during his formal address to the conference Saturday morning.
Later Saturday, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat condemned what he called
Israel’s racist practices but declined to label Israel a racist state, an
apparent compromise in how Palestinians would choose to condemn Israel at the
world conference against racism.
The speech came a day after the Rev. Jesse Jackson announced that Arafat had
agreed to lobby to have language removed from a draft declaration that called
Israel a racist state and condemned Zionism as racism.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan reiterated Saturday that the Zionism clause
had been removed from the declaration.
(96)`(96)`The question of Zionism versus racism is dead,’ he said.
In his main speech to the conference, Arafat also did not mention the word
Zionism, but did say the Israeli occupation (96)`(96)`embodies racial discrimination
in its ugliest forms.’
(96)`(96)`Israeli occupation … represents a dangerous and flagrant violation of
(the U.N.) charter, international human rights and human law. The Israeli
occupation is a new and advanced type of apartheid,’ Arafat said. (96)`(96)`Israel,
the occupation authority, has pursued policies of racial discrimination.’
The conference has been marked by controversy over how to deal with the
legacy of slavery and colonialism as well as efforts to condemn Israel.
The Arab League met Saturday morning to coordinate its position on the final
declaration. Amr Mousa, Secretary-General of the Arab League, said the
section condemning Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians and the recognition
of the Holocaust were both open to negotiation.
(96)`(96)`There are racist policies and practices by Israel and they have to be
addressed (just) as Israel wants us to address the problem of the Holocaust
and anti-Semitism and so on, so its a package.’
The White House, which has called parts of a draft declaration anti-Semitic,
said American diplomats would leave the conference if the provisions
condemning Israel weren’t removed.
As the Arab leaders met, several African heads of state addressed the
conference on the issue of slavery and reparations.
Cape Verde President Pedro Verona Rodrigues Peres called for voluntary
reparations and financial support for Africa.
But Obasanjo said reparations could split Africa from black people living in
(96)`(96)`the diaspora,’ and an apology would suffice.
(96)`(96)`Apology is intrinsic in the healing process,’ he said. (96)`(96)`Apology closes
the door to bitterness and anger … and does not promote any reprisals and
litigation.’
As the leaders spoke, conference committees worked behind the scenes on the
wording of a final declaration to be adopted at the end of the eight-day U.N.
summit.
Almost a year into the Palestinian uprising, Arab nations have pushed to make
Israel the main issue at the conference.
Jackson, the American civil rights leader, said he had urged Arafat to drop
his support for a summit declaration that would attack Israel as a racist
state and equate Zionism with racism.
Zionism, the religious and philosophical underpinning of the movement that
founded Israel as a homeland for the Jewish people, has also come under
attack in street demonstrations.
Palestinian officials later accused Jackson of being (96)`(96)`overzealous’ and said
they would still seek condemnation of what they called Israel’s (96)`(96)`racist
practices.’
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Noam Katz reiterated that his country felt
that the racism conference wasn’t the appropriate forum to discuss the
Mideast conflict.
(96)`(96)`We are not here at the conference to discuss, to deal with specific
political problems,’ Katz said. (96)`(96)`We are here to create a united front
against racism.’
