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.

Kampala – SHOCK gripped residents of Kinawataka slums in Kampala after a UPDF soldier shot his lover dead before turning the gun on himself at dawn yesterday.
The incident occurred in Buyinja zone where Private James Agaba and the woman only identified as Deborah rented a one-room house. Witnesses said Agaba stormed the modest dwelling early in the morning and started shooting. Details were still scanty since the neighbours fled their houses.
Agaba, who neighbours referred to as a reserved man, died from a single bullet in the chest. Deborah’s body was riddled with bullet wounds.
Witnesses said the several shots forced the neighbours into hiding until Jane Kyakumpa, the landlady, rushed to a nearby Police post. The Police and the army arrived soon after but took time to open the closed door.
“They could have feared that the assailant was alive. They surrounded the house and contemplated using teargas to eject whoever was inside.
They then tapped on the window several times and after some time, they opened the door,” a witness said.
The bodies lay side-by-side on the floor.
Agaba’s personal effects, including army uniforms, were in the house.
Residents said the soldier could have killed his lover over infidelity and alcoholism. The couple moved into the area four months ago, according to Kyakumpa.
Agaba had just been transferred from the army headquarters in Bombo to the defence ministry head office in Mbuya, close to the murder scene.
Most of the houses in Buyinja zone are shacks or semi-permanent structures made of mud and wattle. It is a crowded area near Nakawa Court.
Sergeant Seregio Tibayungwa recollected that Agaba was on duty up to 5:00am when he sent him for a phone.
“I asked him to bring a phone because I wanted to speak to someone. He left unnoticed with a gun as soon as he handed over the phone. The section commander told me the man I had just sent out for the phone had gone out with a gun. Leaving an army facility with a gun without permission is illegal,” Tibayungwa said.
He explained that he immediately followed Agaba but it was too late to save him.
Agaba’s body was taken to Mbuya military hospital, while Deborah’s was taken to the City Mortuary at Mulago. By press time, her particulars remained scanty but she was believed to hail from Mbarara.
Addressing shocked residents, Lt. Kiwanuka advised landlords not to accommodate security operatives who do not have written permission to stay outside the barracks. Kiwanuka demanded a register of all people staying in the area.
But the LC leader, Peter Musoke, argued that the army ought to reign in their staff, adding that soldiers often disguise themselves when moving house.
Two years ago, a soldier slit his wife’s throat in the same area.
Two similar incidents were registered in 2008 at Naguru Police barracks in Kampala. In 2008, 2,753 homicides occurred countrywide.
The eastern region had the highest number of homicides, with 430 cases. Kampala Metropolitan followed with 401.
