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.

The murder of one of Zimbabwe’s top mining executives has shocked the business community in the embattled country.
Police confirmed that Leonard Chimimba, the chief executive officer of Bindura Nickel Corporation (BNC), until recently owned by Anglo American, had been shot as he approached his home late on Monday night.
Chimimba died of head wounds in a Harare hospital on Tuesday.
Zimbabwe police spokesperson Wayne Bvudzijena said: “Our investigations are in progress but we suspect it was a robbery, because his car was taken by his killers soon after the shooting.”
But one top business executive suggested Chimimba’s murder might have been connected to the recent mysterious disappearance in South Africa of 40 tons of Bindura’s nickel worth $600 000 (about R4-million).
The high-flying Chimimba was reportedly due to meet the governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Gideon Gono, before his death to discuss the loss of the nickel.
Anglo American Corporation owned the nickel mining giant before selling its stake to a consortium called Mwana Africa Holdings for $8-million last year.
The consortium is led by a Congolese national. It also has other businessmen from other countries.
Anglo sold its majority stake in BNC, complaining that it was no longer viable to run the mine because of Zimbabwe’s restrictive foreign exchange regime.
