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.

Dar es Salaam – Criminals with suspected links to witch doctors murdered an albino man in northern Tanzania and chopped off his right leg, an official said on Thursday.
The latest in a string of murders targeting albinos – whose limbs and organs are used by local sorcerers to make charms – took place on Wednesday in the Mwanza region, on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Mwanza Regional Commissioner Alex Msekela named the deceased as Jonas Maduka, a resident of Sogoso village.
“The victim was having supper in his house at around 3.00 pm (12.00GMT) with his family. Some people had called at his house and told him that they had a problem and wanted his help immediately,” the official said.
“The unsuspecting Jonas walked out, as required, and was strangled and had his right leg chopped off. The assailants left with the leg,” Msekela said, adding that police were hunting the murderers.
The grisly killing came only a day after a visit to Mwanza by Tanzanian Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda and Shaymaa Kwegyr, an albino lawmaker appointed in 2008 by President Jakaya Kikwete.
During his tour of regions affected by the killing, Pinda announced a raft of measures aimed at raising awareness, offering protection to albinos and tracking down witch doctors and their accomplices.
In Tanzania, at least 35 albinos, mostly women and children, have been killed in 2008, according to the Tanzania Albino society.
Albinism is a congenital lack of the melamin pigment in the skin, eyes and hair which protects from the sun’s ultraviolets.
Albinos are vulnerable to medical complications and social discrimination in Africa.
Murders of albinos have also been reported in Burundi.
