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.

Media reports in the past few days have highlighted a series of violent killings across the country, raising the alarm over rising insecurity.
Among the chilling cases was the killing of a mother and her two daughters in Olenguorone in Kuresoi District last week. So far, seven people have been arrested in connection with the deaths.
In Kiambu, a German couple was killed at their home at the weekend. In the same week, two people were killed in Kerugoya in separate incidents.
Similarly, a gang with guns attacked and robbed aid workers along the Wajir-Mandera road during the same period.
The list is long, and clearly, something untoward is happening across the country.
Security is deteriorating and increasingly, people are forced to live in perpetual fear of attack. Nowhere is safe and that is bad for the country.
At this rate, the country is degenerating to a level it was some years ago, when criminals were nearly taking over as they killed and maimed at will and escaped the security dragnet. The result was morbid fear and loss of investments.
Causes of insecurity are well documented, ranging from proliferation of firearms to poorly-equipped police force. These must be dealt with as a matter of urgency.
But what is worrying most is the ability of the security apparatus to deal with crime. Quite often, the police come out to give assurance that they are up to their job.
Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere, who is still new on the job, had made a pledge to curb insecurity. So far, there is no much evidence to suggest that the pledge is being implemented.
The challenge is for the police and the provincial administration to up their game through intensified surveillance and rapid response.
Indeed, the entire Government should channel its energies on finding ways of containing the spiralling acts of violence.
