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.

South Africa was on a collision course with the new president of the United States, Barack Obama, because of his more enlightened approach to addressing human rights, DA foreign affairs spokesperson Tony Leon said on Wednesday.
Leon told the 100 Club in Cape Town that Obama, inaugurated on Tuesday, offered the opportunity for America and the world to look for rights-based and multilateral solutions to the globe’s many crises.
“South Africa, by rights and by inclination, should be a willing and vigorous partner in the plan to reinvigorate a more just world order,” he said.
Instead, SA’s recent votes and voice in international councils and forums, such as the United Nations, had “put us in the company of the rights-delinquent nations and authoritarian regimes of the world”.
“Earlier in January it was revealed, for example, that South Africa refused to support a declaration by the United Nations General Assembly calling for the decriminalisation of homosexuality,” said Leon.
“What we practise at home, in our constitution and via progressive legislation we contradict abroad for fear of offending some of the most retrogressive authoritarian countries in the world.
“Shortly before Christmas, South Africa’s foreign policy was again in the news in Washington – and again for all the wrong reasons.
“Under the headline ‘South Africa’s Crime’ the highly influential Washington Post decried our government’s enablement of Robert Mugabe’s ‘destruction of neighbouring Zimbabwe, at the cost of thousands of lives’.”
