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.

One in four small businesses has fallen prey to crime in South Africa, according to the SME Survey 2008.
According to SAPS crime statistics, aggravated robberies of businesses rocketed from 46 in July 2006 to 194 by August 2007 in Durban Central.
But burglaries at businesses in that same period dropped from 884 to 677.
The interim results of the survey were released after interviews had been conducted with about 2 500 businesses.
“This shows how vulnerable businesses are and how difficult protection is because you tend to increase preventative measures after any incident.
“But with such a high level of repeat victim, the findings show that crime cannot be beaten at the individual business level,” said principal researcher, Arthur Goldstuck.
He said that robberies were a “more serious crime” because of the human consequences.
“A lot of the crime we are seeing might be ‘small fry’ in terms of cash value, but that comes with an enormous human cost in terms of psychological and physical effect,” Goldstuck said. – Daily News Reporter
