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.

[How’s this for a wild story? The surname Damaso certainly is unknown in SA. I wonder if this is some sort of Eastern European or other white immigrant? Anyhow, it gives the ANC the excuse to use their most favourite word, “Racist”.
They say this is in an “upmarket” shopping centre in Johannesburg. I wonder if this is Sandton City? Heck… I’d sure like to see this painting. If anyone knows where I can see it, or if we can get some photos of it… I’d love to put it up.
Take special note that the ANC mentions this is: “Witchcraft”. That’s very important. Perhaps we need to start painting: Dead Julius Malema… dead Jacob Zuma… Dead Mugabe, etc??
Its all so completely stupid. Jan]
A painting that depicts a dead Nelson Mandela undergoing an autopsy provoked outrage Saturday in South Africa, but the artist who created the work has said it is a tribute to the iconic leader.
The painting by local artist Yuill Damaso depicts South Africa’s first black president’s dead body on an operating table, undergoing an autopsy as prominent South African political figures look on.
The work, which is on display in an upmarket Johannesburg shopping centre, has drawn outrage from South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC).
“The ANC is appalled and strongly condemns in the strongest possible terms the ‘Dead Mandela’ painting,” the party said in a statement.
“It is in bad taste, disrespectful, and it is an insult and an affront to values of our society.”
The ANC called the painting “racist” and criticised the artist for depicting Mandela as dead, saying it was considered an act of witchcraft in African society.
But Damaso said he meant no disrespect to the hero of South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle.
“It shows Mandela’s flesh and bones, which shows that he was a man, just like every one of us,” the artist told the Saturday Star.
“He achieved great things by working hard, and he has so much influence on the country and the world, but the painting shows that he is just an ordinary man.”
The painting, a modern take on Rembrandt’s 17th-century work The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp, shows Mandela lying on an autopsy table as the late Nkosi Johnson, a child AIDS activist who died at 12, cuts into his flesh.
A group of South African leaders crowds around the table, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, President Jacob Zuma, former president Thabo Mbeki and opposition leader Helen Zille.
Mandela, who turns 92 on July 18, has limited his public appearances in recent months as his health has become increasingly frail.
South Africans hope he will attend Sunday’s World Cup final, but his foundation has said he and his family will only make a decision the day of the game.
He was due to attend the tournament’s opening ceremony on June 11, but cancelled after his great-granddaughter was tragically killed in a car crash on the eve of the tournament.
