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.

Several people with “evil intentions” were arrested in South Africa five days before the elections last month, leading to the arrests of al-Qaeda suspects internationally, The Star newspaper reported on Thursday.

Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi told the National Assembly’s safety and security committee on Wednesday: “We arrested some people who had evil intentions against this country — we did not tell anybody — five days before the election. We got these people to leave.”

The South African operation sparked arrests of suspects linked to al-Qaeda in Jordan, Syria and Britain, Selebi said.

“The result is that you saw in Jordan, in and around those days, a number of people arrested who were called al-Qaeda. A number of people were arrested in Syria as a result of our operation.

“In part of this operation, in London, the British police found boxes and boxes of South African passports in the home of one of these people… ,” Selebi said.

Selebi made these remarks to the committee as an example of the battle faced by government in stamping out corruption in the Department of Home Affairs, The Star reported. – Sapa
