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 national convention is about constitutional principles the present leadership of the ANC has moved away from, organiser Terror Lekota said.
Speaking to about 120 people in Bloemfontein, Lekota said the group had made it clear that the convention had nothing to do with former president Thabo Mbeki.
“It has to do with the principle of the… Freedom Charter, which clearly the present leadership of the ANC was not being loyal to and moved away from,” he told the gathering on Wednesday night.
Lekota said this was the basis of the new movement.

“If he (Mbeki) wants to come along that’s fine, but this is an independent movement guided and initiated by the fact that there are threats to the democracy we have found. That is it, period.”
It would make no difference if ANC President Jacob Zuma discussed the contents of a letter former president Thabo Mbeki had written to him. In it Mbeki indicated he did not “bless” the ANC dissidents.
“He [Zuma] was discussing it in public. It is neither there nor there. We have said from the beginning this is an initiative which has nothing to do with former president Thabo Mbeki.”
Speaking at the meeting organised by some former Free State National Party leaders – including Inus Aucamp and former Free State Agriculture MEC Mann Ulrich – Lekota said the ANC had been moving away from its basic principles for some time.
A “parting of the ways has come” in respect to many members who had to decide on how they saw the principles of the Freedom Charter and the country’s Constitution.
“This divide has come in the ANC. Who is the good or the bad in the ANC?” Lekota asked.
There were two factions in the party, those with “the right interpretation” of the Constitution and those who saw differently. Lekota said South Africans should not be “caught asleep” on the direction the ANC had moved in.
He called for changes to the way leaders at all levels were elected. The ruling party should not be allowed to elect people such as municipal mayors “from behind walls”.
“Its time to place power back in the hands of people. Communities must decide who must lead them.”
Referring to a proposed new political party, Lekota said the ANC had done its work.
Addressing the possibility of political violence in the country if a new party should emerge, Lekota said nobody, including community leaders and the media, could neglect the responsibility of teaching non-violence. – Sapa
