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.

Tens of thousands of Zimbabweans in South Africa have until midnight Friday to legalise their status.
The government has extended hours of Home Affairs offices, but lines are stretching for kilometres. Pretoria authorities insist they will not push back the date of the moratorium on Zimbabweans illegally living, studying or working in South Africa.
Home Affairs Director General Mkuseli Apleni told a briefing Friday afternoon that more than 230,000 applications have been received at 42 offices across the country from Zimbabweans who want to live legally in South Africa.
That’s only about a quarter of the number of people who have crossed the border seeking economic relief and political shelter.
Home Affairs communications manager Ricky Naidoo said the department has ruled on more than 44,600 applications. More than 38,000 had been approved, while another 6,165 have been rejected so far.
Offices have been instructed to remain open until the last Zimbabwean application had been received on Friday.
Illegal Zimbabweans were given a 31 December deadline to apply for documents to legalise their stay in the country.
Earlier Friday, a Zimbabwean national was arrested outside a Home Affairs office in Pretoria for producing fake supporting documents, including fake letters of appointment, and selling them.
The man was taken to a police station, where he was allegedly found to be in possession of 25,000 rand earned from selling the fake documents.
Zimbabwe’s movement for democratic change (MDC) says it is shocked to hear the Zimbabwe government turned down an offer from the South Africa government of a printing press with a capacity of printing 100,000 passports.
