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.

15% of S.African Citizens got jobs with Phony Degrees
[Note. South African education is going backwards. In order to hide the poor performance of black children at school, they are going to stop giving grades when they leave school. Instead, the ANC aims to replace it with a general certificate of education – so that it does not matter how good or bad you did at school – everyone gets the same certificate. In South Africa, many things can be “bought”… including all manner of education certificates. There was fascinating incident some years ago where a commercial airline pilot in South Africa bought his qualifications. Jan]
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Nov. 19 (UPI) — South Africa is struggling to stem a trend that has as many as 15 percent of its citizens working with phony university degrees, reports said Wednesday.
The Times of London reported hundreds of doctors, lawyers, civil servants, IT experts, accountants, teachers and army generals have been found to have gotten their jobs with bogus degree certificates.
The disclosure alarms employers in Britain, particularly in health and education, who rely heavily on recruits from South Africa because of an acute shortage of medical workers and teachers.
The problem has forced South Africa’s leading universities to create a National Qualification Register to help employers confirm the veracity of academic claims.
Leon Smith, the chief information officer at Kroll MIE, South Africa’s largest professional qualification verification firm, said around 15 percent of qualification checks reveal something is not right.
“It makes you wonder how many company directors, aircraft technicians, accountants and teachers have lied about their qualifications,” he said.
