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.

[As if this actually means anything. All these bold-sounding statements are meant to make us think that the Government and Police are cracking down on crime. One sees the Police coming out in massive force in huge operations. But, it changes nothing because any criminals caught will soon be slipping out either via technicalities or via our legal system and they’ll soon be back on the streets. So what if they catch the top 200 criminals. Its a drop in the ocean, and they’ll all be back on the streets within months or a few years at the most. Meanwhile there’s probably 100,000 other criminals out there who will never be caught. Jan]
Cape Town – South Africa will in the next three months put together a special police task team to hunt down the country’s 200 most wanted criminals, President Thabo Mbeki said on Friday.
In his first State of the Nation address to parliament following his election to a second five-year term in office, Mbeki also promised there would be more than 150 000 active police officers on duty to combat crimes in the country.
“In the next three months we will set up Special Joint Teams to target and focus on serious crime with an immediate objective of apprehending the top 200 criminals in the country, using all legal instruments to bring them to justice,” Mbeki said.
Although showing a marked decrease in recent years, violent crime in South Africa remains a major concern, especially in the light of the country’s successful bid to host the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
Statistics supplied by the Johannesburg-based South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR) for 2002, showed a staggering murder rate of 47 out of every 100 000 citizens.
“We will ensure that by 2006 there will be 152 000 officers on active duty in the South African Police Service,” Mbeki said.
By March 2002, some 121 301 people were employed by the SAPS, including those in administrative posts, SAIRR said.
Local media reports this week also pointed out that as many as four out of five police officers had to moonlight in security jobs because of low wages, a figure which was being disputed by National Police Commisioner Jacki Selebi.
Mbeki also promised more community-based courts, a victims’ support programme and a specialised courts dealing with women and child abuse, commercial crimes and enhanced co-operation between various security services in the country.
