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.

It is fast becoming a season of deaths in Maiduguri, Borno State, as suspected members of the religious sect, Boko Haram, continue their attacks on citizens.
Eight persons, including three policemen, have now been confirmed dead in five separate attacks in the city, coming days after over 80 persons died from bomb blasts on Christmas Eve in Jos, Plateau State.
A group which called itself Jama’atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda’Awati Wal Jihad had claimed responsibility for the attacks, although Islamic clerics have raised doubts on the authenticity of the claim.
The three police officers who were slain in Maiduguri were on a “stop-and-search operation”. The vehicle was upturned and burnt to ashes.
Army spokesman, Lt. Abubakar Abdullahi told AFP by telephone from Maiduguri that the Boko Haram group was the prime suspect.
“Eight people, including three policemen, were killed late Wednesday in five separate attacks by gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram sect,” the spokesman said.
“The policemen were killed in Ruwan Zafi district of Maiduguri in an attack on a police patrol team by suspected Boko Haram sect members who also burnt down the patrol van,” he added.
He said that several suspects had been arrested over the incidents, the latest in the string of attacks by the sect in the last week.
Police spokesman in Borno State Lawal Abdullahi, also confirmed that three policemen were killed in the attack.
“We lost three men in a shoot-out with suspected members of the outlawed Boko Haram,” he told AFP.
“The suspects launched an attack on one of our patrol vehicles and burnt it. The policemen were outnumbered by the attackers,” the police spokesman said.
In two separate attacks in the same city, suspected Boko Haram gunmen killed a policeman and retired police officer on Tuesday while three civilians suffered gunshot wounds, the police had said.
Meanwhile, Deputy Governor of Plateau State and governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Dame Pauline Tallen, has denied having anything to do with the Christmas Eve bomb blasts.
She has also advised her boss, Governor Jonah Jang, to stop his “cheap attempt” to blackmail her, as “no amount of blackmail” could stop her from going ahead with her ambition to succeed him in 2011.
According to her, the governor and his agents had continued to attack her since she made known her intention to run for the governorship election in the party.
Addressing a press conference in Jos, she accused the governor of playing to the gallery by his actions.
She said: “I’m even pained that in the midst of this chaotic situation, the leadership in the state is more concerned about its ambition rather than the lives of the ordinary Plateau man affected by the bomb blast.”
Tallen said a series of sponsored advertorials in a national daily were simply aimed at tarnishing her “hard-earned reputation built over the years through dint of hard work and genuine love for humanity”.
She said the same newspaper in its report, after publishing the misleading advertorial, vindicated her from the falsehood contained in the advertorial which was signed by the Movement for the Survival of Plateau People (MOSOPP).
She wondered why the leadership in the state was fond of “giving excuses in crises situation that it has no control of the security”.
The deputy governor added that “a state leadership with all the apparatus at its disposal is supposed to adequately protect her people. The inability of the present leadership in the state to use all the human and material resources at its disposal to protect lives and properties of her citizens, but is quick to apportion blame to others without full scale investigation shows poor leadership skills”.
Tallen said she was not bothered about these distractions against her, because “while others are busy apportioning blame, others are busy developing a blueprint that will ensure lasting socio-political and economic development of our state”.
