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 United Africa Farce is really an attempt by the Socialists to get Africa to lean to the left and to stand together. The idea of uniting Africa is a big waste of time. Each of the countries would be better off spending their time and energy trying to solve their internal problems than in engaging in foreign wastes of time. Blacks just can”t get down to working and solving the core problems. They just want excitement and adventure instead of focussing on real work towards real development. Jan]
President Thabo Mbeki has urged African business leaders to speak with one voice when addressing the upcoming G8 Summit that is led by the most powerful economies in the world.
Addressing the Fourth Congress of the World Chambers Federation in Durban yesterday, President Mbeki said this would enable world leaders to act decisively in assisting the development processes taking place in Africa.
He said African leaders could then be able to erase the ugly scar of poverty and underdevelopment “from the face of the earth”.
World leaders will be gathering at the G8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, next month, where matters around poverty reduction worldwide and increasing aid will be discussed.
The summit will follow hot on the heels of a decision by the finance ministers of the G8 to cancel all multi-lateral debt owed by 18 of the world”s impoverished countries, most of which are in Africa.
“We should also communicate a common message that, it is in the interest of international business to ensure market access for developing countries because this will accelerate the necessary growth of entrepreneurship and business in these developing countries.
“Indeed, economic growth of developing countries will invariably increase and open new markets for goods and services from companies that are the back-bone to this important Federation. Undoubtedly, many of these developing countries are willing and ready to trade and do business in equitable and fair partnerships,” said Mr Mbeki.
He said the Chambers were able to give countries consolidation and further strengthening of local organisations, in that their economies greatly benefited them, setting examples for good business practices and helping to create positive conditions for doing business.
“As partners, I am confident that we will continue to find ways of assisting one another to ensure increased investment in our economies, enhancing local enterprise and acting together successfully to conclude the Doha Development Round.
“As you continue to deliberate on many of the important matters, I trust you will also reflect on the best ways of ensuring that we eliminate some of the obstacles to better business and economic growth, such as reducing time-consuming and costly bureaucratic barriers.”
He added that South Africa was faced with a big challenge to reverse its negative consequences of centuries of exclusion and discrimination.
He explained that there was a need to attend to the challenge of proper and equal education and training for all the citizens so as to provide the economy with the requisite skills.
“In this regard, we need partnerships with World Chambers Federation, especially on entrepreneurial and business development,” he said.
He expressed trust that they would come up with more ideas to share so that South Africa could accelerate the pace of change and the process of development Africa, how they could achieve better and sustained rates of economic growth so that in time, South Africa and Africa could experience high levels of prosperity.
