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.

Maputo – The population of the locality of Alto-Maganha, in the central Mozambican province of Zambezia, have apologised for destroying their own health centre in February, reports the Beira daily paper “Diario de Mocambique”.
Alto-Maganha, in the coastal district of Pebane, was one of several places in Zambezia and Nampula provinces affected by serious rioting earlier in the year, when rumours spread that health workers were not curing cholera, but were deliberately infecting people with the disease through mysterious white powders.
The Alto-Maganha health centre was a new building, inaugurated in October 2009. It was wrecked by an angry mob on 11 February, driven by the disinformation over cholera.
When provincial governor Francisco Itai Meque visited Alto-Magonha, local people apologised for the vandalism – and asked the government to rebuild the health centre for them.
Itai Meque replied “You used to complain that there were no health services here, and when it was thought that the problem had been solved, you fell for the wave of disinformation and rose up against your own interests”.
Nonetheless, he promised that the government will repair the ruined centre, and provide it with the necessary equipment and medicines.
A man named Antonio Nhambalo thanked Itai Meque, and said “you are a good father, because when a father buys his son a pair of trousers, and his son tears them, he should always buy him another pair, because everybody makes mistakes, and we have made a lot of mistakes”.
He recognised that in the past the people of Alto-Maganha did indeed beg the government to give them a health centre. The government agreed, “and then we ourselves were the ones who destroyed it”.
Ironically, there were no cases of cholera reported in Alto-Maganha. But there were outbreaks elsewhere in the province, and in neighbouring Nampula. So the Pebane district health authorities embarked on an education campaign, telling people how to avoid cholera – and how to treat drinking water with chlorine. Perhaps because the words “chlorine” and “cholera” sound vaguely similar in Portuguese the health workers were accused of spreading the disease.
So a mob marched on the health centre, smashed all the windows, tore off the roof, and destroyed the medical equipment. The police detained 19 people accused of leading the riot.
With their own health centre destroyed, the people of Alto-Maganha have a walk of 70 kilometres to the nearest health unit, in the locality of Malema.
Itai Meque also discovered that the contractor building homes for the nurses who should staff the health centre was defrauding the government. The cement blocks used in the construction were of poor quality – Itai Meque tested this himself, by picking up several of the blocks and dropping them. They smashed into countless fragments.
The foreman in charge of the building confessed that the contractor was saving money by adding too much sand to the cement mix. One bag of cement was being used to make 40 blocks, when that amount of cement cannot safely make more than 30 blocks.
“You are extorting money from the state!”, exclaimed Itai Meque. “These blocks are full of sand, so shortly after the houses are built, the walls will begin to crack”.
This fraud could not be blamed solely on the contractor, The inspectors, who are supposed to be independent of the contractor, had not done their job, and just watched with indifference, said the Governor.
