The Ponevez Society the Untold Story
My View – International Holocaust Day 27 January 2012
The Ponevez Society in Johannesburg came into being after the end of World War Two. The Society was made up of men and women who survived the Jewish Ghetto’s and the Nazi death camps of the Holocaust in Europe. Most of them had lost their homes and their wealth during the advent of Kristallnacht, and other demonic hardships engineered by Hitler’s henchmen, including the systematic annihilation of the Jews in the gas chambers of Hitler’s concentration camps.

South Africa opened its doors to holocaust survivors after World War Two and with typical Jewish zest the endeavors of the Ponevez Society soon manifested many righteous works.
The first site of the Ponevez Society on the corner of Becker and Fox Streets was located in a building which was later demolished to make way for the new courts in Marshalltown. They then moved into a newly built Synagogue on the corner of Fox Street and West streets which they later sold to make way for the new Anglo American sandstone office block awaiting to be erected, today known as 45 Main Street. The distance between the original site at the court and the new Shul on the 40 Fox site was less than a hundred meters as the crow flies. Interestingly the Shul on the court site literally faced Mandela’s worthless shrine across the road, the headquarters of his law practice in Johannesburg, now recently sanitized in the hope of shedding its notorious history.

Quote: “The Ponevezer Society then moved to its new premises on the Corner of West and Main Streets. In these premises the Society established a special Nursing Home for its sick members. This Nursing Home existed for an appreciable period of time and had its own Doctor as well as a few nurses.”

After the sale of the second property to the mining giant a brass plaque commemorating this holy site was affixed to the Anglo American Building after an application was submitted for this purpose. The plaque was affixed to the sandstone wall where the Synagogue once stood. The Ponevezer’s prayers and zeal for G-D is literally imbedded in the walls and the foundation, as well as the internal and external structures of the Anglo building. It is my belief that this is one of the reasons why Anglo American became such a success internationally as wherever the Jews are to be found, there you will find prosperity in accordance with G-D’s promise, “whoever blesses you I will bless, and whoever curses you I will curse”!

Anglo American in Marshalltown is the home of one of the largest mining houses which was run by the respected Oppenheimer family. This mining giant employed people from every corner of the nation. The Oppenheimer’s employed rich and poor, people with differing capabilities, destitute people from every walk of life, and through these opportunities wealth and dignity were added to the lives of the people who worked for that company.

Yet it is necessary to understand the history of the Jews right up until the present time. The Jews have been enslaved, murdered in cold blood by religious criminals and ideological freaks alike, for millennium. They have been warned, treated harshly, slandered, and scorned by every nation, this includes Africa’s blacks.
Quote: “American support for Israel stands in marked contrast to Europe, however, where anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiments are rising rapidly. Synagogues and Jewish schools and cemeteries throughout Europe are being burned, vandalized, or otherwise desecrated in ever-increasing numbers. Jews are being verbally and physically assaulted throughout Europe. Rockwell Schnabel, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, said at a dinner of the American Jewish Committee in Brussels in 2004 that anti-Semitism in Europe “is as bad as it was in the 1930s.”

One of the more serious outcomes of World War Two was the polarization of East and West. Soviet Imperialism became a threat to civilized people but the dream of a “Great Soviet Empire” was driven by brainwashing the leadership of organizations and peoples all over the world. This pernicious socialism found its way into governments and organizations all over Africa. In the Soviet Union Jews were some of the most disadvantaged and oppressed people of all, until the recent collapse of the Soviet Union, which allowed many Russian Jews to return to their homeland in Israel.
By and large International Jewry has been the most hated and this ideological mindset has been expressed through the many ism’s of our time, Nazism, Soviet Communism, African Proxy Communism, Radical Religious Ideolism’s, etc………… all which drives the victimization of Jews.

Mandela raising angry Stalinist black power salute
In the mid 1980’s under the guise of the so called armed struggle, mandela’s black organization set off two bombs. This action was definitely not meant as a warning, it was designed to cause carnage, deaths and injuries to anyone who were perceived to be standing in the ANC’s way, you know, Blacks, Whites, Asians……. But most of all I believe, they detonated the bombs to make a statement against Jewry in Africa, consistent with threats of similar behaviours against Jewry worldwide. In this manner the ANC actions were no better than the religious criminality that has spread like a cancer throughout the world, and the Nazi – Fascist worldview which took hold on the African continent, from which the remaining few Jews had escaped in Europe. A perusal of the well documented actions of Idi Amin will suffice to prove the point.
Quote: “The first premises were hired in the Morris & Reinert Building, Becker Street, Ferreira (this site is now occupied by the Magistrate's Court), which served as a Synagogue as well as a meeting place. At every Ma'ariv Service, a few dozen Jews from Ponevez could be found there, they had congregated to pray as well as to meet each other to discuss various matters and reminisce about their days in Ponevez”

Picture of the courts, office and parking. Mandela’s “Palace of Justice” [circled in brown], The car bomb which was detonated [circled in yellow], the Ponevez Society location [circled in red]
The first of the ANC bombs was placed in a car and detonated outside the courts, where the Ponevez Society initially had their house of Prayer on the corner of Becker and Fox Streets. Perhaps because of the sidewalk parking bays outside the courthouse being full, or, because they did not want to damage mandela’s old building across the road, the parking lot on the west side of the courthouses was chosen to detonate the car bomb. This a mere 40 meters away from the original Ponevez building site which butted up against Becker Street. Their actions were close enough to make a clear statement anyway!
The second bomb was detonated outside Anglo American’s building in Fox street causing extensive damage to the façade of the building but the bomb went off literally where the front door of the second Synagogue had originally stood. Two Synagogues - two Jewish holy sites - two bombs - two detonations. It is no surprise then that since coming to power the Jewish State of Israel is scorned by the ANC, in favour of full support for the Palestinian cause.
If there be any doubt as to the deep disliking of Jews and Christians in ANC circles and their supporters just take a walk down memory lane and observe their choice of sites for carrying out their nefarious deeds; as in the case of the Church Street bombing Massacre. In another case, working in unison with another Soviet backed black organization, the St James Church Massacre, and the Ponevez Holy sites , a symbol of the Jews love for G-D.

Pic of the bomb detonated at the second Ponevez site in Fox Street
When the bomb was detonated at the second Ponevez site it blew in the very face of a brass plaque affixed to the building to commemorate the survivors of the holocaust and the continuation of righteous life.
While mayhem ensued after the detonations the ANC ran for the cover of the moral high ground, yet what can be said of people who would set off bombs adjacent holy sites? If they do not respect the Holy and Righteous things what is left? The Jews who had suffered in the worst possible way in the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Belsen and others, had to now look on deeply disturbing symbolism. The Jewish Holy sites were set up as a house of prayer for all nations and to support nursing homes, and look after the poor.

A copy of the original document requesting the site to be recognized as holy after which a brass plaque was affixed.
It is my belief that there is a definite attempt by the ANC to racialise Christian Minorities, and anybody else they don’t like, in such a way that they will be slandered both locally and Internationally without any loss to its own nefarious image despite the obvious: the arms deal corruption, missing billions, the violent murder of nearly 300 000 citizens since the ANC came to power in 1994, the RAPE Tsunami, the brain drain, racist tirades and other cloaked national mismanagement, hence the coming state secrecy laws against the media. The ANC has consistently acted as a criminal syndicate gang in my opinion.
The Jewish settlers which we speak about indisputably helped build this country and presented this government the opportunities they now have to pillage the coffers for personal gain, this statement directed at people who can see this glaring fact.

Quote: “You must hate this system of Capitalism first and foremost. Because if you don’t hate it you will not be able to engage in real struggles against this system” Anc Secretary General, Kgalema Motlanthe speaking at a rally 1st May 2000
The followers of mandela can be described as a tragic mistake in human history. Mandela was the channel through which all the despicable energies of Marxism could be directed. He was simply a means to an end, the vision towards a “Great” Soviet (Communist) Empire, and as mandela’s sword shone the more brightly, so did the stature of the man as it began to fade amongst the dying and wounded. Yes not a nice picture! Yet for those who do not follow Mandela it is erroneous to point to his International branding. True of All Marxist leaders (read Mandela’s “Black Book of Communism”) communism assumes, yes demands the right to own and possesses an individual’s conscience, world view, thought patterns and spiritual gifts. A fatal ideological flaw which articulates the ownership of everything by the state. Non compliance with such a view has littered the pages of history with victims.

Survivors of the Titanic
Pastor on Titanic preached to the end, made one last convert as he floated on a piece of wreckage
By admin on April 18, 2012 9:50 pm in Uplifting /
Pastor John Harber and his daughter Nan.
By Dan Wooding — Originally published on God Reports
One hundred years ago, on Sunday, April 14, 1912, the “unsinkable” ocean liner Titanic sank to the bottom of the ocean after hitting an iceberg. About 700 people survived, but 1,517 people perished in the frigid north Atlantic because an insufficient number of lifeboats were placed on the ship.
One of the passengers, John Harper, served as pastor of Walworth Road Baptist Church in London, England. He was a 39-year-old widower with a six-year-old daughter. Harper was en route to Chicago, where he was slated to preach for several weeks at the Moody Church, according to an account in AG News.
“His daughter and niece accompanied him on the trans-Atlantic voyage. After the Titanic hit the iceberg, his daughter and niece boarded a lifeboat and survived.
“Harper, however, refused to save himself and instead helped others to the crowded lifeboats. According to survivors, Harper preached the Gospel until his dying breath, first on the sinking ship and then in the frigid waters.”
The October 1928 issue of “The Latter Rain Evangel” (published by The Stone Church, a historic Assemblies of God congregation in Chicago), recounted the following story of John Harper’s last convert.
sinking of Titanic
“Three or four years after the Titanic foundered (1912), a young Scotsman rose in a meeting in Hamilton, Canada, and said: ‘I was on the Titanic when she sank. Drifting along on a spar in the icy water on that awful night, a wave brought John Harper of Glasgow near to me. He, too, was holding on to a piece of the wreck. “Man, are you saved?” he shouted.
“No, I am not!” was my reply.
He answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved”.
“The waves bore him away; but strange to say, a little later he was washed back alongside of me.”
“Are you saved now?”
“No!” I replied, “I cannot honestly say that I am.”
Once more he repeated the verse, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Then losing his hold he sank.
And there, alone in the night, and with two miles of water underneath me, I believed.
“I am John Harper’s last convert.”

Our Aviation History Algoa Bay Port Elizabeth
Lady Heath
Although not a South African, Lady Heath is an important part of South African aviation history. Lady Sophie Mary Heath (31) won the first aerial race in South Africa on 8th January 1928 at Port Elizabeth’s Fairview Flying Field in an Avro-Avian bi-plane. Four pilots took part in the race – Lady Heath, Major Allister Miller, W.E. Swann and Lomax. Major Miller landed the first plane in Port Elizabeth in 1917. Lady Heath won the Humewood Trophy. Later in 1928, the Avro-Avian was sold to Amelia Earhart, who flew the plane across America later that year.
Lady Heath’s win made her the first woman to land a plane in Port Elizabeth. She was the first female member of the London Light Aeroplane Club, the first woman to use a parachute, and the first woman to hold the British ministry’s commercial pilot’s licence. In 1926 she set the world altitude record for light planes at over 19 000 feet.
The aerial race formed part of the opening of the Port Elizabeth flying field, for which Lady Heath had made the flight. A new £700 Westland Widgeon monoplane was presented by the mayor to the president of the newly formed Port Elizabeth Light Flying Club. Lady Heath smashed a bottle of champagne over the Widgeon’s propeller hub, christening her Lady Heath. After leaving Port Elizabeth, Lady Heath flew the first ever solo open cockpit plane from Cape Town to London via Cairo. She was a second pilot for KLM, in Amsterdam, and flew all their European routes.
Lady Heath was born Sophie Mary Peirce Evans at Knockaderry House, County Limerick, Ireland, on 10th November 1896. While still a toddler, her father, son of a doctor, murdered her mother and she was sent to nearby Newcastle West, where she was raised by aunts. After the outbreak of World War I, she went to England and became a motor bike and ambulance driver, in England and closer to the front in France, for a unit attached to the Royal Flying Corp. She married an army officer, William Elliot-Lynn, and took a degree in agriculture at the Dublin College of Science as preparation for farming in Kenya, where her husband had gone. She joined her husband on their coffee farm in Kenya but the marriage broke down after two years. While working at Aberdeen University, she became interested in women’s athletics, breaking records for the world high jump and British javelin in 1923.
In 1925, she experienced her first flight when travelling to Prague for an International Olympic Committee conference to discuss the inclusion of women in the track and field programme at the 1928 Olympics. A few weeks later, she became the first person to take a flight at the newly inaugurated London Aero Club. She qualified for a private (or A) licence but the International Commission for Air Navigation revoked women’s rights to earn a commercial, or B licence, in 1924. Lady Heath fought the ban and the commission agreed that if she attended flight school and passed the test, she would be granted a commercial licence. She did so in 1926 and the ban was rescinded.
In 1927 she married Sir James Heath, a wealthy businessman, but the marriage was over by 1929. She finally settled in England, where she died in May 1939, from injuries received during a fall from a tram car.

Celebrating Israel’s Independence Day, From Tel Aviv to Bryn Mawr
April 26, 2012 3:13 PM

Reporting Hadas Kuznits
By Hadas Kuznits
BRYN MAWR, Pa. (CBS) — Today is the 64th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel, and a Jewish Day school in Bryn Mawr was celebrating.
At Barrack Hebrew Academy, Rachel Gordon, president of the Israel Club says the celebration of Israel’s 64th Independence Day is a huge event for the school.
“Because it’s a homeland for the Jews, and it’s a miracle that we have it, and so many people fought hard for it,” she says.
Dr. Sigal Strauss, coordinator of Israel programming at the school, says there was lots to do.
“We have sessions with Israeli-related themes, folk dancing, games, military drills.”
This celebration on the Hebrew calendar follows a solemn day of programming for Israeli Soldiers’ Remembrance Day.
“I think Israel is the only place in the world where you go from a memorial day to an amazingly happy day,” she says.
“I think Israel is the only place in the world where you go from a memorial day to an amazingly happy day,” she says.
Adds Gordon: “That’s what allows us to celebrate Israel, so it reminds us to never forget these people that gave their lives. It’s for this celebration for the life of Israel.”
The Biblical View
It’s wonderful that Biblical Prophecy has been fulfilled in Israel becoming the Jewish homeland again. Modern writers and international media are trying to portray the Jewish state as a unique invention of the twentieth century (1948), but Israel has actually been the traditional home of Jews for thousands of years. In a typical subtlety of media spin on the Jewish issue BRYN MAWR (CBS) erroneously explains, “ Today is the 64th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel….” It is this corruptly engineered view of the Jewish state that has driven Israel’s enemies to steal Jewish land.
We LOVE Israel
