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 government would not sit by and do nothing in the face of political intolerance and hate speech in the run-up to the elections, the new ministers of justice, safety and security and intelligence said in Pretoria on Thursday.
They also called for the leaders of political parties to tell their supporters to exercise political tolerance.
Justice minister Enver Surty, safety and security minister Nathi Mthethwa and intelligence minister Siyabong Cwele spoke at a briefing at the Union Buildings after a meeting of the government’s justice, crime prevention and security cluster.
The cluster discussed possible violence ahead of next year’s national and provincial elections.
Police have had to intervene in recent weeks to prevent clashes between ANC supporters and backers of the new party to be formed by former ANC chairman Mosiuoa Lekota and former Gauteng premier Mbhazima Shilowa.
Supporters of ANC president Jacob Zuma have chanted: “Kill Lekota, Kill Shilowa.”
Surty condemned this as hate speech.
Cwele said complaints about political intolerance and hate speech would be investigated.
Mthethwa said: “We appeal to all South Africans for political tolerance and to avoid provocation. We’ve got electoral laws and if anyone goes against those regulations they’ll face the long arm of the law.”
