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.

Twenty-five-thousand South Africans who were killed during World War 1 were honoured in the city on Sunday to mark the annual Remembrance Day.
The day was observed worldwide to commemorate the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, when the war finally came to an end.
Mayor Helen Zille led diplomats, religious leaders and members of the SA National Defence Force, among other dignitaries, in laying wreaths at the Cenotaph on Adderley Street. A handful of members of the public also participated in the ceremony.

Zille said the city acknowledged the sacrifices made by 25 000 South Africans of all colours and creed who died defending the freedom, democracy and human rights being enjoyed today.
“Sons and daughters of South Africa did not die in vain,” she said, urging people to defend the gains of the new democracy.
She took a moment to remember civilians who are suffering in war-torn countries such as Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zimbabweans suffering under the “despotic rule of Robert Mugabe”. She also called for tolerance and acceptance of the refugees seeking safety in the country.
Rabbi Osher Feldman of the Cape Town Hebrew Congregation said: “May we see an end to hatred and violence in this country … we need to live in peace.”
