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.

Everything is this country happens reactively and is normally a case of too little, too late. Refer Eskom, roads, water, politics, crime, etc etc ad nauseum.

No, not at the moment, but a rumor has it that Msimang has made another VSTD (Vegetable Substitute to Drugs) breakthrough and she believes this will wipe out all major diseases for good.

I am going to be very selfish and say I really don’t care. I can afford medical aid and private hospitals, thanks to the fact that I can now be employed in a position that I studied for (yes thanks to AA).

Hmm, nurses and doctors go on strike, our minister of health has a vegetable ready for any ailment, as for the few doctors (at goverment hospitals) that realy do try their best, well the patients in most cases just don’t follow advice given.

I am an Environmental health practitioner and we are prepared for outbreak diseases. The problem is that government they employee you, give you an office forgetting that you must work out with community. How can you identify the problem when you don’t have access to community?
