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.

[I love this. Mbeki is no doubt talking about people like us!! Take special note of Mbeki’s words – he says WE will be eating our words. Well… this I’d like to see. This BOLD STATEMENT by Mbeki is nothing new… People of his kind have made these bold predictions before… and it didn’t pan out then. I remain a skeptic. But we must remember what he says here…
Take Mbeki’s statement about South Africa not being a One Party state! Duh!! This country is a One Party State already… and NOBODY in this country, in any political party can truly go against the ANC. This country has been a “One Party State” in practise for the last 10 years. Now, it is a legal one. They haven’t openly declared this country a One Party State (they’re not that stupid), but in practise… it is one and they have every intention of keeping it so for as many decades as they can manage it.

Sceptics and those who deliberately lied about South Africa would soon eat their words, President Mbeki said on Thursday.
Replying to debate on his state-of-the-nation speech, he spoke about a new confidence among most South Africans.
However, there remained a minority both inside and outside the country that continued to propagate negative images of South Africa.
Mbeki said he was aware of some people within the mining sector who were involved in an international campaign to demonise the new mining framework which had been approved by parliament.
Noting that the Fifa Inspection Group had indicated it was not aware of any substantiated claims of lack of security, there were some “who insisted that safety and security was of major concern to the soccer body”.
Mbeki also took issue with a United States-based company that provided country risk profiles to investors and was distributing false information about South Africa.
Among the claims was that South Africa was a de facto one-party state, that the government was unable to cope with (illegal) land occupations and that there was likely to be an eruption of conflict over crime, unemployment, corruption and a possible third-term effort by himself.
“We are fortunate that the overwhelming majority of the honourable members in this debate rejected this fundamentally false image of our country projected by people who have a clear agenda to see us fail.”
