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.

[As I was saying… Is Zuma the only corrupt person in the ANC? Look at this new revelation from the DA, with proof that Mbeki himself BROKE THE LAW.
Will he be prosecuted? The Black woman who was appointed to replace Zuma is also implicated in the new Oilgate scandal. Will she be prosecuted?
Patricia De Lille, of the ID, spoke yesterday about all the other senior members of the implicated in the original arms deal – along with Zuma and Shabir Shaik. Do you see any of them in court? I don”t.

Cape Town – The Democratic Alliance says it has evidence which suggests President Thabo Mbeki held a secret meeting with French arms manufacturer Thomson-CSF in 1998 when he was chair of the ministerial committee in charge of the arms deal.
Speaking in the national assembly on Wednesday, DA public accounts spokesman Eddie Trent told the house his party had “an encrypted fax which suggests that President Mbeki promised Thomsons, as early as 1997, that they would be awarded the combat system contract”.
The contract relates to the combat suite to be fitted into South Africa”s four new frigates, among the billions of rands of weaponry bought by the country in the past few years.
Trent said another fax “indicates that the president held a secret meeting with executives from Thomsons in December 1998, in complete violation of tender procedures”.
“President Mbeki needs to explain why such a meeting took place. Why is there no public record of the meeting, (and) were Thomsons guaranteed the corvette contracts?” he asked.
“Unfair attack” in president”s absence
Trent said unless Mbeki broke his silence, the public would be justified in thinking arms deal corruption extended “far beyond (former deputy president) Jacob Zuma”.
Deputy speaker Gwen Mahlangu, responding to a point-of-order call from African National Congress MP Dennis Bloem, told Trent she did not think it was fair of him to “attack the president in his absence”.
She said Trent had posed a question, rather than making a member”s statement.
“(This) is a question, and it”s meant to be a statement, and I think I would like to be allowed to study the Hansard (record),” said Mahlangu.
To pose a question to a president who was not in the house was “absurd”.
“Part of the statement implies the president is involved in some kind of activity. That is the part I want to make a ruling on.
Copies of fax made available
“I don”t think it is fair of you to be saying the kind of things you are saying about a head of state, in his absence.
“I will make a ruling (on this) later this afternoon,” she said.
Earlier, Bloem had condemned Trent”s claims, saying: “I don”t think it”s fair for this member to attack the president in his absence; I think he must make this statement when the president is here.”
Trent presented copies of the “encrypted” fax in the house; copies were later made available to the media.
