Muslim robbers undoubtably were responsible for Louvre jewel heist

There was a robbery at the Louvre museum this past week, and fortunately, in a short time, 2 of the gang members who committed the heist were arrested, and clues are given to their potential background and where they were heading:
Two men who allegedly stole $100 million worth of France’s crown jewels during a daring daytime heist at the Louvre Museum were arrested on Saturday night — as one suspect was captured trying to flee the country.

One of the suspects, who has not been identified, was busted as he was boarding a flight bound for Algeria at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris newspaper Le Parisien reported.

The men, from Seine-Saint-Denis, a suburb north of Paris, were detained by police as part of the investigation of “organized gang robbery” and “conspiracy to commit a crime.”

Police were tipped off on Saturday about one of the suspects likely to be flying out of the country heading to Algeria in North Africa.

The second suspect was arrested shortly afterward in Paris.
Seine-Saint Denis has a huge Muslim enclave, and Algeria speaks for itself as a Muslim-dominated country. So, no shock at all the culprits could turn out to be followers of the Religion of Peace. We must hope the remaining stolen artifacts are recovered, and the robbers will be punished, though rapists deserve far more severe punishment than robbers do.

It's also great the Louvre management enlisted the aid of an Israeli security firm to investigate.

It may be a burden on their beliefs, but what about their own Religion of Peace being a similar burden on any sane society?

In another example of why realists have to be wary of Islamic taqqiya (deception), here's news of a demonstration against LGBT ideology being forced upon students in Maryland, led by both Muslim and Christian parents in the city of Greenbelt:
More than 100 Muslim and Christian parents rallied on Wednesday arguing that a Maryland school district’s policy that prohibits them from opting their child out of LGBTQ lessons violates their religious beliefs and their ability to raise their kids, the Daily Caller News Foundation observed.

Members of the Muslim, Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Christian faith rallied ahead of oral arguments in the Mahmoud v. McKnight case, a lawsuit filed by a coalition of parents against the Montgomery County Board of Education after the school district decided parents could no longer opt their children out of lessons that discussed books about preferred pronouns, pride parades and gender transitioning, for the right to “let kids be kids,” the DCNF observed Wednesday. Carrying signs reading “let parents parent,” Muslim and Christian parents told the DCNF that the school board’s policy allows teachers to push a different worldview and ideology on their children.

“We believe that the state is trying to impose a particular moral system on our kids,” Kareem Monib, a Muslim parent, told the DCNF. “That’s what we see. We cannot allow that to happen, because that will be the end of our [Muslim] community. Those kids will grow up hating their parents. They’ll grow up believing that their religion is wrong. In fact, they’ll even believe that their God is not compassionate, because the way that the other side frames it is that we’re denying their humanity whereas we do not believe that a person’s sexual conduct has to do with their identity. That’s just not in our worldview.”
Wow. Just what's so "right" about a religion that condones sick jihadism and sexual violence? And also honor murders? Isn't that denying the humanity of Jews and women, along with Christian adherents? Again, nobody should be taken for a ride by the taqqiya that's sadly in motion here, and nobody should have to make a choice between LGBT ideology and Islam. Also notice again here how the Islamists are adapting patriotic-sounding language if that's what helps further their cause.
“We don’t celebrate actions that go against our faith. We have a certain set of actions, sexual regulations and we want to teach our kids that this is the correct way to approach sex and sexual conduct,” Monib told the DCNF. “When the state comes in at an early age and starts introducing ideas, like transgenderism, or that there are more than two sexes, or even use terms that our kids can’t understand, that does create a burden on our beliefs.”
Yet their own Religion of Peace isn't a burden by sharp contrast, huh? And is no more dangerous to women and children than the LGBT ideologues themselves, right? I'm sorry, but based on the specific movement protesting the school's indoctrination procedures, that's why this is a case where realists don't know whom to root for. On the other hand, the following guy is far preferable for supporting:
Dagmawi Lakew, an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian who immigrated from Ethiopia and is a parent within the school system, told the DCNF that he came to the United States to escape policies that the school district is imposing.

“Almost all these people [at the rally] left their own countries to come here because we don’t have freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom to assemble the way we want,” Lakew told the DCNF. “We left our countries and our family and came to the United States because those rights weren’t given to us. And now slowly, but surely, those rights are literally being stripped away from us.”
Tragically, that's the sad trajectory the USA looks headed on these days; a most perverse form of communism and totalitarianism. And even Islamic shariah looms on the horizon, and no matter how this case turns out, that too is a danger the USA faces as much as Europe. But, the guy shouldn't be associating with Islamists, since they brought such disasters to the African continent over time, and Islamic sharia awaits the USA as well, if we don't remain vigilant.
After nearly three hours of oral arguments in the Mahmoud v. McKnight case, U.S. District Judge Deborah Lynn Boardman, who was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden, announced that she would decide whether she would grant the coalition of parents a preliminary injunction, blocking the school district’s current policy, by Aug. 28, the first day of school for students within Montgomery County Public Schools.
If she rules in favor of the parents based on the Muslim movements being among them, it'll be no surprise. If the Democrats want to retain the ummah's backing, they'll make sure to accommodate them. And then, it'll be claimed that the Muslims accomplished justice, all for the sake of weakening the opposition to the Religion of Peace. That, again, is the problem here.

Man disguised in burka tried to rob female chess players of victory in Kenya

Here's a disgusting story of a man who wore an Islamic burka disguise in Kenya to try and rob female chess players of their rightful rewards at a women's chess match:
A man who disguised himself as a woman by wearing a burka made it past the fourth round of the Kenya Chess Championship in Nairobi before arousing suspicion.

The chess player, 25-year-old Stanley Omondi, who kept his identify a secret by not speaking to anyone at the tournament, registered under the alias Millicent Awuor.

But he was discovered after he won matches against former Kenyan national champion Gloria Jumba and top Ugandan player Ampaira Shakira.

At that point, players and the arbiters began to get suspicious. When Omondi made it past the fourth round, he was taken into a private room and staff demanded to see identification. It was then that he admitted he was a male university student desperate for money.

Once he was found out, Omondi was kicked out of the championship. His points were given to his female opponents.

The Kenya Open Chess Championship features 450 players from 22 chess federations. It has a top prize of $42,000.
Whether or not the offending interloper was a Muslim isn't clear, but this still demonstrates what's wrong with these religious outfits that conceal identity, and practically deny the wearer one when a woman is forced to wear it against her will. Thank goodness the man deception was exposed and he was disqualified, though some might wonder if the tournament should continue longer, so the rightful competitors can be sure to compete without cheaters infiltrating and turning these tournaments into a joke. This is exactly why identities can't be concealed in many of these situations.

Largely Unreported: Christians Slaughtered In Nigeria Over The Weekend

(with a hat tip to Instapundit)

From the Toronto Sun, and opinion piece by Tarek Fatah and dated February 20, 2018 (emphases mine):
On Saturday, a slaughter of Black Africans in 15 villages of Nigeria took place, but that news could not find space in any major newspaper or TV network other than the Daily Express in the U.K.

Could this self-imposed censorship be because it was a Black on Black crime? Or was it because the murderous killers were Fulani Muslims while the victims of the massacre were from villages of Nigeria’s Christian minority?

In the spirit of Black History Month and all the awareness-raising efforts of the Black Lives Matter movement, perhaps some attention could be paid to the Black lives lost in Nigeria and their stories lost in the news.

According to the Express, “armed men stormed through 15 villages to massacre Christians and destroy their churches in a violent crackdown against the [Christian] religion in Nigeria … Dozens of people have been killed after the gangs ransacked towns and villages to clear them of all aspects of the Christian faith.”

The Dutch-based Christian charity Open Doors described the broad daylight attack as being carried out by a group of Muslim Fulani who are traditional cattle herdsmen. “One attack took place in broad daylight, as people were about to go to church. The assailants chased and killed the villagers and burned down nine churches and many more houses,” their spokesman added....

[...]

Does the ‘Ummah’ (the broader Muslim community) recognize the crimes against humanity being committed by our fellow Muslims, be it in Nigeria or Iran? Or will we put on the charade of victimhood, demanding pity while we cover up in a burka of deceit, like with the genocides in Darfur, Kurdistan, Papua New Guinea and Balochistan?

ISIS fighters ‘have contracted Ebola': World Health Organisation investigating reports militants showed up at Iraqi hospital with lethal disease



Mosul has been under control of ISIS since June 2014 and over the past few weeks militants have reportedly executed more than a dozen doctors for refusing to treat injured fighters.
According to a report in Iraq’s pro-government newspaper, al Sabaah, the disease was brought to Mosul by ‘terrorists’ arriving ‘from several countries’ and Africa.
The symptoms of Ebola, which include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding and bruising, are similar to those of other diseases including malaria and yellow fever meaning it could easily have have been misdiagnosed.
In addition, very few ISIS fighters are believed to have travelled up from West Africa where the Ebola outbreak originated with most coming from areas where there have been no reports of the disease.
The reports have appeared in pro-government and Kurdish media but if true it could have catastrophic implications for people in ISIS-held areas as the group is against western science and medicine.

EBOLA News 10-16-2014 - The Definition of Insanity ---- UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE DAY





The definition of INSANITY: Repeating the same action over and over again, and expectin different results. - Albert Einstein. . .

Who does this administration think they are fooling? Duncan managed to enter the US with Ebola despite the fever checks...the (insert string of obscene profanity here)CDC gave the second Ebola nurse to travel WITH A FEVER! And yet, today's headlines read:

US Steps up domestic response to Ebola crisis
"Customs and health officials at airports in Chicago, Atlanta, the Washington suburbs and Newark, New Jersey, were scheduled to start taking the temperatures of passengers from the three hardest-hit West African countries Thursday. The screenings, using no-touch thermometers, started Saturday at New York's Kennedy International Airport."
******
HOW THE HELL IS THAT STEPPING UP?!

Then there is this little tidbit in the same article:

Quote: "Frontier has taken the aircraft out of service. The plane was flown Wednesday without passengers from Cleveland to Denver, where the airline said it will undergo a fourth cleaning, including replacement of seat covers, carpeting and air filters."

Yet this administration insists on allowing passengers from the Ebola hot zones of Western Africa - Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea to - 
not only board planes, 
but change planes during connections,
enter mass transit hubs,
and travel freely within unsuspecting populations regardless of whether they were directly exposed to Ebola, as was Duncan, or not.
If and when these modes of transportation carry an infected passenger, the new standard set by Frontier suggests removal of contaminated vehicle from fleet for complete refab at corp. own expense? How sustainable is that, and for how long?
INSANITY!

Tom Frieden: Too many layers of protection could have upped nurses' Ebola risk

NBCNews headline: 'Conscientious' Ebola Nurse Amber Vinson Stayed Close to Home in Ohio


The fact that she opted to travel out of state, after knowingly exposed to Ebola (whether she knew she was infected or not) from Texas to Ohio blows apart any characterization of 'conscientious' decisions this nurse made.
Pathetic.

Frieden said that the 48 people whom officials started monitoring two weeks ago had passed a critical period and were now unlikely to contract the disease.

One of them is Duncan’s fiancée, Louise Troh, 54, who has been under state-ordered quarantine with her 13-year-old son and two other young men. “Right now, we’re OK,” she said in a phone interview from the house where she and the others have been staying, in an undisclosed location. “I’m healthy. Everybody’s fine. God is in control.”

Chief Clinical Officer and Senior Executive Vice President for Texas Health Resources Dr. Daniel Varga was prepared to formally apologize for mistakes made with Duncan’s treatment at Thursday’s U.S. Energy and Commerce Committee’s Congressional hearing in Washington D.C.
In prepared statements released Wednesday night, Dr. Varga is prepared to say, “Unfortunately, in our initial treatment of Mr. Duncan, despite our best intentions and a highly skilled medical team, we made mistakes. We did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of Ebola. We are deeply sorry. 
Also, in our effort to communicate to the public quickly and transparently, we inadvertently provided some information that was inaccurate and had to be corrected. No doubt that was unsettling to a community that was already concerned and confused, and we have learned from that experience as well.”

Ebola: A Global Pandemic?


Drinking my coffee. Rubbing my eyes. Blowing my nose. All the stuff I do in the morning.

And then, there's this.

From CBS News:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (CBS Charlotte/AP) — A Liberian health official says the Ebola outbreak is now above the control of its government. 
“Our government has declared this now as a humanitarian crisis that is above the control of the national government,” Tolbert Nyenswah, Liberia’s assistant minister of health, told CBS News. 
More than 700 people have died in four western African nations during the largest Ebola outbreak ever, with over 320 known cases in Liberia alone. One American died while contracting the virus in Liberia. Two other American medical missionary workers also contracted Ebola. 
“This virus, if it is not taken care of, will be a global pandemic,” Nyenswah told CBS News, calling for more international aid to help treat the sick and stop the spreading of the disease. 
The Peace Corps has now temporarily evacuated 340 volunteers from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone after two members were exposed to the virus. CBS News reports those two volunteers have been isolated. 
This comes as two North Carolina-based missionary groups have ordered the evacuation of their non-essential personnel from Liberia after a doctor and a missionary contracted Ebola.
At least we know the situation is in good hands over there in Africa ... uh, no, wait a minute:

The Ringleader of Boko Haram: British Born

Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche was held in Sudan on an
international arrest warrant

He attended a university in the UK and was "radicalized" at that university.

From the Telegraph (hat tip to Mark Alexander of A New Dark Age Is Dawning):
Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, arrested on suspicion of carrying out bomb attacks in Nigeria, threatened to cut off hands of non-believers while living in Britain

A British-born "ringleader" of the Islamist group responsible for the kidnapping of hundreds of school girls in Nigeria was radicalised while studying at a UK unversity, according to friends.

Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche, 29, was arrested on Wednesday in connection with two recent bombings carried out by Boko Haram in the Nigerian capital Abuja that killed nearly 100 people.

He is suspected of co-masterminding the attacks - one in the suburb of Nyanya that killed 75 people on April 14 and a second attack just yards away which killed 19 earlier this month.

Interpol put out an international arrest warrant for Mr Ogwuche, who was discovered after a reward of £100,000 led to his discovery in Sudan.

Mr Ogwuche, who is the son of a retired Nigerian colonel, was said by fellow students at University of Glamorgan in Wales to call himself "The Lion of God" and threatened to cut the hands and feet of non-believers while living in Britain....

Islamic Terrorism In Mogadishu

On New Year's Day:
Mogadishu (AFP) - Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab said on Thursday it carried out a twin bombing of a hotel in Mogadishu that killed 11, boasting it was the start of its campaign for the new year.

"This is the beginning of 2014," Shebab spokesman Ali Mohamud Rage said in a New Year message, a day after the hotel attacks.

"The fate of foreigners and local mercenaries will remain the same until they leave the country... they will have no safe haven in Somalia."

The first car bomb exploded outside the Jazeera hotel, near the international airport. It is one of the seaside capital's most upmarket and its clientele includes Somali politicians and visiting foreign officials....
The mainstream media are avoiding coverage of this Islamic terrorism.

The Jihad At The Kenya Mall Was Only The Beginning?

Via Atlas Shrugs, citing CNN:
On a Twitter account believed to be run by Al-Shabaab, the group promised more attacks to come.

"The mesmeric performance by the #Westgate Warriors was undoubtedly gripping, but despair not folks, that was just the premiere of Act 1," according to a tweet posted Thursday....
Bravado or reality?

The truth will soon be revealed. Not that the mainstream media will provide much coverage — particularly if the jihadist atrocities are committed in Africa.

Mali: More Harvest From The Arab Spring


From this July 14, 2012 article in the Boston Globe and along the lines that we here at IBA have been saying for well over a year:
US inadvertently creates a terrorist haven in Mali

...This catastrophe did not “just happen.” It is the direct result of an episode that may at first seem unrelated: the US-led intervention in Libya last year. Rarely in recent times has there been a more vivid example of how such interventions can produce devastating unexpected results....

[...]

This is an emerging crisis that could engage the world for years. A vast region has fallen out of the control of central government and into the hands of violent radicals. They may cause far more death and suffering than Khadafy ever did....
What hath Obama wrought? 

I find it impossible to believe that nobody in the Obama administration did not consider the consequences of supporting the Arab Spring.

Meanwhile, In Nigeria

Jihad continues apace in Nigeria. This jihad in Nigeria is sometimes referred to as "the lesser-known jihad."

Click directly on the image below to enlarge it:


From this source, dated November 11, 2011 (hat tip to Weasel Zippers):
They stormed this town in Yobe state, northern Nigeria like a swarm of bees, and at the end of their four-hour rampage, some 150 people had been killed – at least 130 of them Christians, according to church sources.

Hundreds of people are still missing, and the destruction included the bombing of at least 10 church buildings.

More than 200 members of the Islamic extremist Boko Haram sect stormed the Yobe state capital, Damaturu, at 5 p.m. on Nov. 4...

[...]

The Christian leaders in Damaturu told Compass that out of the 150 casualties reported in the Yobe attacks, more than 130 were Christians. When the Muslim extremists went to New Jerusalem, they said, any Christian they met who could not recite the Islamic creed was instantly shot and killed or slaughtered like a lamb.

The Rev. Idris Garba, the 41-year-old chairman of the Yobe state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), told Compass the attack “is a Jihad against the church.”

“When Boko Haram members and other Muslims here attacked us on that 4th of November, it was like the end had come for Christians in this settlement,” Garba said....

Jihad for oil? Northern Nigeria has large oil deposits.

Or maybe the same old, same old: jihad for Allah so as to gain a prestigious place in Islamic paradise. See THIS at Prophet of Doom. Excerpt:

Obama Invades Uganda, Targets Christians

UPDATED AT BOTTOM OF POST

Lord’s Resistance Army Colonel Thomas Kwoyelo, a senior rebel officer, arrived in Uganda Wednesday after his capture during the offensive against guerrillas in the Congo. (James Akena/Reuters)

From RushLimbaugh
RUSH: President Obama has deployed troops to another war, in Africa, ladies and gentlemen. Jacob Tapper, ABC News, is reporting that Obama has sent 100 US troops to Uganda to help combat Lord's Resistance Army. Tapper reporting today: "Two days ago President Obama authorized the deployment to Uganda of approximately 100 combat-equipped U.S. forces to help regional forces 'remove from the battlefield' -- meaning capture or kill -- Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony and senior leaders of the LRA." I wonder how the Wall Street crowd is gonna react when they find out that Obama has sent troops to another war?
"Mr. Limbaugh, it's just 100 peacekeepers." Yep, yep, yep, that's how Libya started, and, by the way, there's no end in sight for Libya. So nothing to worry about here, folks, only gonna be for a few months. Now, up until today, most Americans have never heard of the combat Lord's Resistance Army. And here we are at war with them.
Have you ever heard of Lord's Resistance Army, Dawn? How about you, Brian? Snerdley, have you? You never heard of Lord's Resistance Army? Well, proves my contention, most Americans have never heard of it, and here we are at war with them. Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. It means God. I was only kidding. Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan.
And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them. That's what the lingo means, "to help regional forces remove from the battlefield," meaning capture or kill. So that's a new war, a hundred troops to wipe out Christians in Sudan, Uganda, and -- (interruption) no, I'm not kidding. Jacob Tapper just reported it. Now, are we gonna help the Egyptians wipe out the Christians? Wouldn't you say that we are? I mean the Coptic Christians are being wiped out, but it wasn't just Obama that supported that.
The conservative intelligentsia thought it was an outbreak of democracy. Now they've done a 180 on that, but they forgot that they supported it in the first place. Now they're criticizing it. Lord's Resistance Army objectives. I have them here. "To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people."
Now, again Lord's Resistance Army is who Obama sent troops to help nations wipe out. The objectives of the Lord's Resistance Army, what they're trying to accomplish with their military action in these countries is the following: "To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people; to fight for the immediate restoration of the competitive multiparty democracy in Uganda; to see an end to gross violation of human rights and dignity of Ugandans; to ensure the restoration of peace and security in Uganda, to ensure unity, sovereignty, and economic prosperity beneficial to all Ugandans, and to bring to an end the repressive policy of deliberate marginalization of groups of people who may not agree with the LRA ideology."
Those are the objectives of the group that we are fighting, or who are being fought and we are joining in the effort to remove them from the battlefield. The government of Uganda claims that Lord's Resistance Army only has 500 or a thousand soldiers in total. So what's the threat? If that's the maximum size of their army, what's the threat? A thousand soldiers? Now, 1100 soldiers because we have sent a hundred. I'm not making this up. This is Jacob Tapper. ABC News had reported that Obama got a letter off to John Boehner a couple days ago announcing this. It's just for a few months until the Lord's Resistance Army is eradicated. That's all. Just a few months. Not much of a threat. BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: On sending the soldiers to fight the Christians in Africa, here is how Obama ends his letter to John Boehner justifying sending troops to Uganda: "I have directed this deployment, which is in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct US foreign relations and as commander-in-chief and chief executive." Would somebody explain to me what you think our "national security interests" are in Uganda.
Now, keep in mind, folks, this is the same Barack Obama who said that we had no national security interests in attacking Iraq. After they were shooting at our planes and trying to kill our president and Allah knows what else, Obama said, "We got no national security interests in Iraq! They don't threaten us! What are we doing?" We've got 500 to a thousand soldiers in the Lord's Resistance Army and Uganda trying to wipe them out, and we're sending a hundred soldiers to help them.Vital national interests are at stake, according to Obama.
RUSH: I wonder when the Nobel Committee is gonna call Obama and ask for the Peace Prize back. You think this is what they had in mind when he got the Peace Prize? Remember, he got that prize on the come. He hadn't done anything for peace, and since then, how many wars are we in now, five? And he hasn't gotten us out of any of these wars? I know, isn't gonna happen.BREAK TRANSCRIPT
Is that right? The Lord's Resistance Army is being accused of really bad stuff? Child kidnapping, torture, murder, that kind of stuff? Well, we just found out about this today. We're gonna do, of course, our due diligence research on it. But nevertheless we got a hundred troops being sent over there to fight these guys -- and they claim to be Christians.Hmmmm.....
Read the full story here.
UPDATE - I think it is important to read the comments thread on this post (as is often true, here at IBA, the comments section is more interesting than the post itself):


Vadim said...
Guys and girls, you got it wrong, I'm afraid. This time O is targeting the right scum. As someone who lives and works in Uganda, LRA is one of the most vicious, atrocious, cruel and crazy militia groups this Earth has ever born. They are responsible for killing and abducting children, forcing them to kill their own parents, and turning girls as little as 9 years old into sex slaves. Here is a bit more about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord's_Resistance_Army. While I don't dispute the fact that the USA doesn't need to get involved in another conflict, I do know that here in Uganda this move is extremely popular. Since 3 years ago, LRA had been smashed into almost oblivion by Ugandan forces, and now hiding in Central African Republic, scattered and battered, and this is the only thing that puzzles me - why now, when LRA is almost gone and done with? Besides, Ugandan army and intelligence is probably the best in the region of East Africa...so it's not like they really need Mr. OHB to appear and do something for them.

Vadim, I believe you. Maybe I should not have posted this. But, I thought Limbaugh's perspective was, at least, interesting.

Pastorius, it IS interesting, but I'm sad to see his relative ignorance on the subject. I wish he bothered googling LRA. These people, coming from the North of Uganda and proclaim themselves devout Christians, have absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. Cutting arms, legs, lips and ears of women and children just as a demonstrative punishment for not cooperating with them and not accepting their leader - Joseph Kony - as a prophet, can hardly be Christian. I strongly recommend you a short read on the subject, a book called "Aboke girls". True account of true Christians - Catholic sisters - who risked their lives to rescue some girls abducted by this group and turned into sex slaves. I personally know these sisters and these events haunts them every day and night till these days.

Vadim, You write: These people, coming from the North of Uganda and proclaim themselves devout Christians I respond: Yes, and I don't think, from what I have read, that they even consider themselves to be devout Christians. Rather they are nominal Christians, and I think they know it. They incorporate other beliefs into their system, traditional Ugandan religion, "mysticism" (whatever the fuck that is), and Acholi nationalism.

As I understand it, Vadim, the Acholi people are a "Luo Tribe", which means they are part of the same African tribe Obama's father, and his cousin Raila Odinga, are from. In fact, everything about this effort against the LRA goes against most Obama-haters pre-conceived notions of Obama.

The LRA started out ok, but they ARE THE BAD GUYS NOW. IMHO, no ifs ands or butz. Limbaugh is damaging his credibility on this one. HOWEVER, Obama saying this is for US National Security continues to PISS ON OUR BACKS. Just say you are so appalled by these guys you as prez feel you can't go to sleep unless you do something about this. For 100 guys at risk, I think we would all understand and cut you some slack, IF YOU HAVE GOT THE SITUATION, DANGERS, AND NUMBER TO BE KILLED AND CAPTURED CORRECTLY

Assume this story is true ... 1997 HERE Make up your own minds... I can't find too much pistive about these guys from when they first hit the news WHILE CLINTON WAS PREZ, which is about the time they turned from a christian-acholi-mystical kind of kabbalah like tribal defense, god sent me to over throw the bad guys outfit, into ... KILL THEM ALL AND THE LORD WILL KNOW HIS OWN
