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’s attack on the plea bargains used to secure evidence against Jackie Selebi were part of a desperate “sham” to protect the police boss
from prosecution.
This is how lawyers for suspended National Prosecuting Authority boss Vusi Pikoli have responded to government’s accusations that he concluded plea and sentence agreements with no regard for the public interest.
Pointing out that the disputed deals with accused Brett Kebble murderer Glenn Agliotti – the alleged star witness against Selebi – and Kebble’s
security boss and convicted fraudster Clint Nassif were concluded after Pikoli was suspended last year, Pikoli’s lawyers said were “utterly
baseless”, “irresponsible” and “spurious”.
They also said the claims were “particularly alarming insofar as they suggest that government’s motive in doing so, is to protect Mr Selebi
against the due process of the law”.
Pikoli’s lawyers further argued strongly that the decision about the correctness of plea agreements should be left to “independent professionals” and “not be usurped by partisan politicians”.
“The fact of the matter is that, if the accusations against Mr Selebi are true, then he is at the heart of ‘organised crime’.
“It is indeed difficult to imagine anything more subversive of the fight against organised crime, than a corrupt police chief who is on the take and in the pocket of organised crime.
“The accusations against Mr Selebi are inter alia that he took bribes paid to him for the protection of organised crime involving drug dealing
and murder.
“It is difficult to imagine any public interest greater than to determine whether those accusations against the Commissioner of
Police are true and, if they are, to ensure that he is prosecuted, convicted and severely punished,” Pikoli’s legal team argued.
