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.

PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has said 120,000 jobs will be created in the oil and gas industry as a result of the oil discovered in Western Uganda.
In his New Year message to the nation, Museveni said the oil and gas policy will be passed and capacity building programmes rolled out with a view of producing the required manpower for the sector.
The President said this would be achieved through the expansion of the Uganda Petroleum Institute at Kigumba to produce artisan and technical personnel for the industry.
Graduates in the petroleum sciences and relevant disciplines, he noted, wiould also be produced in courses which have begun at Makerere University and other private universities in the country.
“These trained Ugandans will take up the over 20,000 jobs directly generated by the oil industry, together with the additional 100,000 jobs generated as a result of the multiplier effect,” he disclosed.
The NRM Government, Museveni remarked, would ensure that benefits arising out of oil production benefit all stakeholders in the country.
Museveni said there was sustained high economic growth and transformation, with increasingly more jobs being created in the service and industry sectors.
The president observed that the sustained high growth of the economy had translated into the significant decline in poverty across the country.
Commenting on the on-going campaigns, Museveni asked the Electoral Commission to disqualify, candidates who tell lies while canvassing for votes.
He, however, noted that campaigns ahead of the general elections scheduled for February 18, are so far going on smoothly.
The presidential campaigns kicked off on November 1, while the parliamentary campaigns were flagged off on December 16.
“Campaigns have been smooth, the lies told by opposition candidates notwithstanding. These lies include claims that Museveni has sold Lake Kyoga to foreigners, wants to steal land from the Iteso, Langi, Acholi and has introduced a vaccine that deforms children,” Museveni said.
“I request the Police to be active in monitoring this criminality on the part of these political actors. It is illegal to tell lies in elections. It will lead to your disqualification and prosecution,” Museveni warned.
Museveni also commented on the Traditional Leaders’ Bill that is now before Parliament, saying many lies have been told about it.
“The criminal liars and opportunists say the Bill intends to dethrone some traditional leaders, to stop citizens from prostrating before kings. All these are false and criminal.”
The President said the Bill was intended to protect politics from opportunists who try to involve kings in political competition and arguments, to protect the kings from the dangers that would arise out of meddling in politics and provide benefits to traditional leaders.
