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.

British fugitive Simon Ferguson, sought in the United Kingdom for fraud totalling several million pounds, is set to stand trial for fraud in South Africa in the Special Commercial Crime Court this week.
In South Africa, Ferguson, 46, faces two cases of fraud, theft, forgery and uttering.
In the UK he is wanted for fraud, conspiracy to fraud and corrupt trading after he allegedly committed fraud at the Hemmingway International company.
British authorities are awaiting the outcome of the local cases before extradition processes are requested.

Ferguson, who briefly appeared in the Special Commercial Crime Court last week, has further delayed his trial by firing his fourth legal team. The trial is, however, set to go ahead.
In South Africa, the older of the two cases relates to the now defunct Whetstone Industrial Holdings.
The more recent case, being heard this week, involves more than R2-million and relates to Ferguson allegedly selling off company shares and entering into lease agreements illegally.
He faces 27 charges, including eight counts of fraud, three of theft, 14 charges of forgery and two counts of uttering.
The alleged crimes were committed at Hout Bay, Jeffreys Bay and Tokai.

Ferguson is also charged with contravention of the insolvency act, as the court papers state that at the time that he committed the fraud he was allegedly an unrehabilitated insolvent, under curatorship.
The companies at the centre of the charges include Africa South Consulting and Investment, Expectra 840, Blue Pointer Trading, Misty Falls and ZFI Cabinets.
According to court papers, in terms of the forgery he issued 14 illegal share certificates for the company Expectra 840.
He is alleged to have pretended to be employed by several businesses and subsequently entered into lease agreements.
He also bought a property in Marina Bay worth more than R800 000 on behalf of a company of which he claimed to be a senior partner.
With ZFI Cabinets, he elicited more than R857 000 from a businessman while he did the company’s logistics. He is accused of pocketing the money instead of depositing it into ZFI Cabinets’ acoount.
Ferguson has been in South Africa since 1996, when he left the UK while out on bail.
UK authorities have since twice failed to have him extradited due to technicalities.
At Whetstone Holdings, he claimed to have patent rights to Olpex, an oil-based product which, when blended with diesel fuel, would drastically reduce smoke emissions.
In 2003, trading on Whetstone was suspended on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange after allegations of corruption and it was liquidated.
A warrant for his arrest was issued in Pretoria in August 2000.
Ferguson is in custody.
