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.

A number of Americans on www.FreeRepublic.com agreed with what I had to say. Here are some of the responses:-

Re: Racism is Pseudo-Intellectual Bunk
JanL,
Although I posted a public reply to you, as someone who’s been on this site for four-years, I want to tell you privately that your post is one of the best I’ve ever read on FreeRepublic about race.
I’m going to print it off and send it to my 25-year old son and a bunch of friends for whom you’ve nicely put into words what many of us feel.
I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Many thanks!

Re: Racism is Pseudo-Intellectual Bunk
Thank you JanL for such a wonderful post. You put into words what many Americans feel in our hearts. If I could, I would like to get your permission to use this post, to send it to others that feel the same as you do. I have always felt that European Americans have never been given the credit, gratitude and thanks they deserve for ending slavery at the cost of so many lives. We are the only nation that has done this, no other has fought so hard for the equality of all people of the world as America.

Jan – EXCELLENT!!
In 1950, I was a Cadet aboard the MV Del Rio out of new Orleans. we sailed the West African coast from Dakar to Walvis bay. The only place that was NOT colonized was Liberia, and by just a small coincidence, the people of Liberia, The Negro Republic, were the worst off of anyone.
Liberia is, and was then a terrible place. The only whites were Firestone employees, and they were isolated (segregated) in The Firestone Compound, which was the only decent spot in the whole country.
The harbor pilot was also white, a Dutchman, who the locals needed to get ships in and out of Monrovia, even thought it was not a difficult thing to navigate.
On the rest of the coast blacks enjoyed a higher standard of living than they do today, under European rule.
Like Jan said, it’s the PEOPLE.
My next trip back to Africa was as an airline pilot. We were flying relief to the victims of the latest “civil war”, i.e., tribal war in what was The Belgian Congo. As a Cadet (USMMA, 1953) I saw Ango Ango, Matadi, and Leopoldville. The latter two were very nice cities. When I returned after the departure of the Belgians, it was chaos. Dead animals and people in the streets, no electricity, no hospitals, NO NOTHING.
Total despair.
In all my considerable world travels, Africa was the only place in the world that I actually saw a fly land on a man’s open eye, and stay there. He didn’t even blink.
