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.

[Will somebody please show me how Bob Geldof or this Bono idiot have actually improved life in Africa for blacks? They collected a lot of money… but that did not change anything… in fact, they helped evil Govts.
Once upon a time Britain was a great country. Once upon a time, people were knighted for great things. Now there is no greatness in the world. Lame people are knighted for lame causes because nobody knows the meaning of greatness any more…
These people… apart from wearing their hearts on their sleeves never actually achieved anything long term for blacks nor Africa. All they’ve done is help to prop up evil regimes and to hide what was really causing the starvation in Africa. So maybe rather than being knighted, maybe Geldof and Bono should be put in front of a firing squad! Jan]
Bono, the larger-than-life frontman of the Irish band U2 and Third World campaigner, has been awarded an honorary knighthood for services to the music industry and humanitarian work.
It is the third time his work has been recognised in the past three years. In 2003, he was presented with the L(233)égion d’Honneur by President Jacques Chirac on behalf of the French government and a year ago he was voted Time Person of the Year in recognition of his work promoting justice and equality.
U2’s singer Bono: proved an inspiration in both his music and determination to tackle global poverty
The rock star, who follows in the steps of fellow Dubliner Bob Geldof in receiving the award, will not be entitled to use the title “sir” because he is not a British national. Geldof received his award in 1986 after raising awareness as well as millions of pounds for struggling third world countries through the Live Aid event. Along with Geldof, Bono, 46, was instrumental in ensuring the recent Live 8 concerts were a massive success.
Yesterday in a letter to Bono, Mr Blair said the musician had played an invaluable role in the run up to last year’s G8 summit, which focused on helping poor nations in Africa.
He said: “I know from talking to you how much these causes matter to you. I know as well how knowledgeable you are about the problems we face and how determined you are to do all you can to help overcome them. You have tirelessly used your voice to speak up for Africa.
“I want personally to thank you for the invaluable role you played in the run up to the Gleneagles G8 summit. Without your personal contribution, we could not have achieved the results we did.
“So thank you and I look forward to continuing to work together to maintain momentum on Africa, and ensure leaders around the world meet the promises they have made.”
Mr Blair added that Bono whose real name is Paul Hewson had proved an inspiration in both his music and determination to tackle global poverty.
Last night a spokesman for the singer said he was extremely flattered to receive the award. Previous non-British recipients of the honour, which is granted by the Queen on advice of the Government, include Bill Gates, Pl(225)ácido Domingo, Rudolph Giuliani and Steven Spielberg.
