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.

Tokyo – A Japanese serial rapist was convicted of dismembering and abandoning the body of Briton Lucie Blackman eight years ago, but was found not guilty of killing her by a court that sentenced him to life in prison for other sex crimes.
The Tokyo High Court found former property developer Joji Obara guilty on Tuesday of kidnap and attempted rape, but upheld a lower court ruling acquitting him of killing Blackman, 21, who was working as a hostess in the Roppongi nightlife district.
She went missing in July 2000 after saying she was going for a drive with a man.
Her remains, including a severed head encased in concrete, were later found in a seaside cave near a condominium owned by Obara.
Obara’s purchase of a chainsaw and evidence at the cave, including cement, bags and adhesive tape, showed he was guilty of abandoning her body, the court said.
But there was not enough evidence to prove he had caused the death of Blackman, a former British Airways flight attendant from Kent in southern England.
Though found not guilty of killing Blackman, Obara, 56, was sentenced to life in prison for a series of other horrific sex crimes.
He was found guilty of raping eight women, and of raping, drugging and causing the death of Carita Ridgway, 21, an Australian hostess who died in hospital in 1992.
In Japan, a life sentence is the heaviest punishment for rape resulting in death.
The killing of Blackman attracted huge attention both in Japan and abroad because of her family’s tenacious campaign to find her.
It also exposed the dangers to women working in Japan’s hostess clubs, where men pay hundreds of dollars to drink and chat with scantily clad female companions. – Reuters
