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.

[I noticed Tutu going on and on about the Tibetans, and yet the Tibetans have got communist oppression. But the Tibetans have not been through the living hell of the Zimbabweans across the border. Yet, Tutu has made a few muted statements, but given that MILLIONS have fled Zimbabwe and the country has been brought to its knees and more killing and oppression is ensuing I think his moral outrage should have been much more than it is. I’m luke warm to Tutut. Sometimes he talks sense and then at other times he talks out his ass. Perhaps it depends who gives him the better publicity? Jan]

While we celebrate Freedom Day, many in Tibet are living without the freedoms we enjoy. To show solidarity, Ubuntu-Tibet Freedom Day is being held today at St George’s Cathedral.
The event is organised by South African Friends of Tibet (Saft), a group formed in 2003 to promote awareness of the crisis in Tibet.
Ian Macfarlane of Saft thinks most South Africans are not very aware of the situation because it is so remote to them.
“But the experience of the average South African, having struggled with apartheid, is very much aligned with the experience of Tibetans.”
The main goal of the day’s events is to raise awareness, but Saft also wants to stress other goals.
“We’d like to mobilise South Africa to get a clear position articulated by the government,” added Macfarlane.
The day’s events will include live musical performances beginning at 2pm and continuing until 9pm, as well as a photo exhibition.
Anglican Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, a strong supporter of Tibet, will be lighting the Tibet Freedom Torch at 3pm.
