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.

A profile under the name of former Gauteng premier Mbhazima Shilowa has been created on the social networking site Facebook and is slowly gaining supporters.
But organisers for the national convention Shilowa supports could not immediately confirm that the profile was legitimate.
Shilowa did say recently that sites such as Facebook would be used to market this weekend’s convention.
However, in an interview with the Mail and Guardian on Friday, Shilowa, talking about the secrecy surrounding the name of the new opposition party expected to emerge from the event, said: “I had to fend off a lot of cyber-squatters so I’m very guarded about this.”
The Facebook profile cites Shilowa’s political views as “Other” while his favourite movies are thrillers, romances and dramas.
The profile, with smiling pictures of him and his wife, Wendy Luhabe, was created on Thursday night. By 9:45am on Friday, he had 25 supporters.
Politicians’ profiles on Facebook do not have lists of friends like general users do; they have supporters instead.
Shilowa’s favourite music is cited as jazz, African music and gospel, while his interests are politics, development, economics, travel and governance.
According to the profile, his favourite books are the Bourne trilogy by Robert Ludlam and his favourite TV shows are current affairs programmes.
His favourite quote: “Man make history [sic] but not under their own choosing.”
The website address cited on his profile is www.novemberconvention.co.za, that of the national convention organised by him and suspended former African National Congress chairperson Terror Lekota.
The convention will be held this weekend to discuss the formation of a breakaway political party by mainly ANC members who say they are disillusioned with the party’s current leadership.
A supporter, Devon Mitchell Brough, posted a notice on Shilowa’s wall that reads: “My faith has been restored in South African politics!
“Moments like this are history in the making and I am proud to be a South African!”
Lekota also supposedly has a profile on Facebook, but it certainly is not the real thing.
It names him as “Mosioua [sic] Terrosist [sic] Lekota” with a big black cross over a picture of him.
The fake profile says of his relationship status: “It’s complicated with everyone who feels we are being taken for a ride by these losers Lekota and George.”
It adds: “Becarefull of this looser Mr Mosioua Terrorsist Lekota [sic].”
The profile has only one supporter.
ANC leader Jacob Zuma also has a profile created under his name with some 1 200 supporters.
But Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille seems to be the leader of the online pack with 1 800 supporters next to a photograph of her staring staunchly into space.
But there are friendlier pictures of her on at least six Facebook groups, created to advocate Zille’s becoming president.
To put it into context, however, US presidential hopeful Barack Obama has more than two million supporters on his profile while his rival, John McCain, has some 600 000 supporters on his Facebook profile. – Sapa
