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.

Government should intervene in food pricing to prevent further increases, the Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu) said on Tuesday.
“Government [must] not leave the market to determine the prices in particular on the basic needs. [They must] introduce regulations”, Cosatu said, adding that companies involved in price fixing should be criminalised.
The congress also said load shedding was not an accident but a “planned situation by our government to prepare the private sector to invest/buy in the electricity supply industry”.
It said Sasol should be turned into a parastatal because it was using international prices to sell energy while receiving huge profits.
“Sasol should be the first target to assist in energy and petrol crises we are facing.”
The congress also criticised proposed electricity tariff increases and said all the reasons for the proposed increase should be made public.
“We find [it] very shameful for Eskom not to disclose all the reasons for the need to the tariff increase”.
It rejected the continued interest rate “rocketing on the pretext of targeting the inflation rate.”
Cosatu’s provincial shopstewards council will meet on Thursday in Johannesburg to discuss some of these issues as well as prepare for Workers Day commemorations on May 1.
Targets for their campaign may include Sasol, Mittal Steel South Africa, government – especially the department of minerals and energy and the department of public enterprise; as well as food companies and retail stores, it said. – Sapa
