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.

[Zuma is kicking Mbeki and the lads into line. He will be our Mugabe. Jan]
ANC president Jacob Zuma appeared to fire another warning shot across the bows of Thabo Mbeki’s supporters when he stated emphatically on Sunday that they had no choice but to accept the Polokwane decision to elect him leader of the party.
While he later denied that his comments were directly aimed at Mbeki, Zuma repeated his January warning that action would be taken against those who continued to seek ways of changing the outcome of the Polokwane election, in which Mbeki was ousted as ANC leader.
Addressing more than 3 000 party members at the ANC’s 96th birthday celebrations in Odendaalsrus in the Free State, he again said it was time for the party to unite behind his leadership, warning that those who did not would be dealt with.
“As we worked (towards) Polokwane, because we had differences we had the right to meet, lobby, caucus, do whatever. But once a decision has been taken at conference, we cannot continue to meet,” he said, suggesting that those meetings “could not be healthy”.
He said the only times those meetings could be excused was when those who held them gathered together to acknowledge that “man, they had a preference but failed”.
“It’s over. Those meetings have been going on since December and I would say those meetings are meetings to end meetings,” he said to loud applause.
He said the ANC delegates had made their decision and it should be accepted.
Those who failed to do so were “working against the ANC” and “harsher action should be taken against those”.
After the meeting, Zuma told reporters that while he was “not worried” about these alleged meetings taking place, he felt it was important to say that “what has happened has happened and should be accepted”.
Zuma’s statements come as a feud is alleged to be raging between Mbeki and Zuma supporters in the ANC Youth League’s national executive committee that met in Vanderbijlpark last week.
The league was discussing preparations for its own national conference in April, when a new leadership would be voted in. Differences of opinion arose over who should succeed outgoing president Fikile Mbalula.
It is alleged that league members loyal to Mbeki from the disbanded Eastern and Western Cape branches want to try to wrest back control of the organisation from the so-called Zuma camp.
However, the Zuma loyalists, while also split on who the next leader should be, were adamant that it would not be one who wanted to see an Mbeki victory.
Free State Youth League leader Teboho Sikisi told the gathering yesterday that nobody would impose a choice of leader on to the league.
“Already, there are those in the Eastern and Western Cape who want to reassert things the way they were before the conference, but they won’t find that space,” he said.
Zuma, meanwhile, also took his customary swipe at the media, urging it to report objectively on all matters.
“Then you will have friends,” he said, referring to the media’s stormy relationship with the ANC and the government.
