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.

[This, folks, is what we fought against. And look at Zim… 30 years on.
A hell hole, as Ian Smith had predicted.
Ian Smith’s 14 years were fabulous. During the first 10 the economy grew… it was stunning… and they nearly had Mugabe and the commies defeated.
But… commies never give up, and neither should we.
If they can fight for 30 years… heck… why can’t we fight them for 300?
Maybe we should take Ian Smith’s 1,000 years and rephrase it: “We will fight you communist scum for the next 1,000 years if we have to… but we want to come and KILL YOU ALL!”
And what did they achieve for their 30 years? Ian Smith and the Rhodesians achieved more in 5 years than Mugabe did in 30. Too bad the West was so afraid… but the West had trade links with Africa and the blacks were threatening to cut those ties… Rhodesia was destroyed by the POLITICAL WARFARE OF THE ORGANISATION OF AFRICAN UNITY. They made the moves which put the Europeans in their place. Jan]

Zimbabwe celebrates 30 years of independence
Mr Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe since independence in 1980
Zimbabwe is marking 30 years since independence from the UK.
Celebrations include all-night song and dance performances in the capital, Harare, and a speech by President Robert Mugabe in the city’s stadium.
Mr Mugabe, who has ruled since 1980, leads a unity government with rival Morgan Tsvangirai as prime minister.
On the eve of the anniversary, a civil rights group said four of its members had been denied bail after they were accused of staging an illegal protest.
The group, Women of Zimbabwe Arise (Woza) deny wrongdoing. The four were part of a group of women demonstarting against regular power cuts and high electricity tariffs in Zimbabwe.
Economic woes
Zimbabwe declared independence on 18 April 1980, following a seven-year conflict against Rhodesia’s white minority rule. Mr Mugabe, a former guerrilla leader, was elected president.
Independence also brought crippling international sanctions to an end.
The new country was widely seen as a new model for Africa.
Zimbabwe experienced strong growth in its first decade but the economy began to decline in the 1990s.
In 2000 Mr Mugabe launched a controversial land reform programme, seizing white-owned farms and handing them to blacks.
In the following years, farm production and the currency went into free fall. The one-time food exporter became dependent on aid.
Meanwhile Mr Mugabe suppressed the opposition, saying it was in league with former colonial power Britain.
In 2008, the opposition Movement for Democratic Change won a parliamentary majority. But MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai withdrew from the presidential run-off, citing violence against supporters.
However the two sides reached a power-sharing deal later in the year.
New elections are due to be held but no date has been set.
