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.

Returning holidaymakers are to be faced with hefty increases in fuel prices, in spite of the strong rand.
The rand is poised to end 2010 on a high note as it maintains its strength against the dollar in extremely thin trade.
Johannesburg – The price of petrol is to increase by 29c for 93 octane fuel and 28c for 95 octane, the department of energy said on Friday.
The hikes will push the cost of 95 octane fuel in Gauteng to R8.73/l and 93 octane to R8.58/l, the highest price in more than two years.
The increases come into effect on January 5.
Diesel prices will increase by 23c, while illuminating paraffin will cost between 21c and 29c more.
LP gas will cost 46c more per kilogram.
The energy department blamed the hefty increase on the rise in global prices for petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin in spite of the rand’s strength against the dollar.
On Friday the price of oil was set to close the year up more than 12% – the second-highest on record – driven by a resurgence in global demand, an unusually cold winter and falling inventories.
After rallying to a 26-month high of $91.88 on Monday, US crude edged lower on Friday, with the February contract down 14c at $89.70 a barrel in Asian trade. ICE Brent crude fell 10c to $92.99.
