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.

An armed hijacker stared into the eyes of his victim and told him: “It’s not easy.”
This was no comfort for Peter Mashonga who became one of Cape Town’s latest hijack victims. The three men ordered him to hand over the keys and walk away.
“The look in his eyes, I thought he was going to shoot me. I pleaded with him, I said: ‘Please, please don’t shoot, you have the keys, you have the car’.”
The men made Mashonga walk away, which he did, expecting every second to feel a bullet tear into his back. But the men sped off.
The hijacking early on Saturday is adding to the mounting evidence that hijacking syndicates are operating across the city, with four people shot dead in or beside their cars in the past 14 days.
Three of them were arriving at or leaving their homes.
In the latest incident early on Friday, Westridge resident Mashonga was held up at gunpoint by three men as he was pulling out of his driveway.
His car was later recovered in Gugulethu.
The police suspect groups of criminals are behind the spate of incidents, but they have stopped short of confirming there are syndicates at work.
A still shaken Mashonga said on Saturday an accomplice was waiting in an old white Golf with the engine running.
“I was standing next to the car when these men came to me from different directions; they all had guns.”
They demanded the car keys and Mashonga handed them over. The men then drove off in the two Golfs.
The car, which had a tracking device, was found an hour later in Gugulethu.
Newspapers have reported on seven hijacking cases, including Mashonga’s, across the city in the past fortnight, but the Mitchells Plain Community Forum says it is aware of at least seven hijackings in that area alone in the past two months:
Mitchells Plain community police forum chairperson Abe Isaacs said on Saturday there was a definite trend and they were convinced more than one syndicate was operating.
