"Objects in history may be closer than they appear" – Eeyore for Vlad
Jakarta, 13 July (AKI/Jakarta Post) – Authorities have arrested 29 people accused of being part of a cannibal cult in Papua New Guinea’s jungle interior and charged them with the murders of seven suspected witch doctors, police said Friday.
Madang Police Commander Anthony Wagambie confirmed a report in The National newspaper that said the cult members allegedly ate their victims’ brains raw and made soup from their penises.

Abuse: The victim, who cannot be identified, became a slave to her abuser, the court heard
An evil father-in-law who imprisoned his son’s Pakistani bride as a sex slave has been jailed – after his victim learned enough English to call police and beg for help.
The depraved 56-year-old stripped the bride of her jewellery and passport after she came to Britain following an arranged marriage, a court heard.
He made her swear on the Koran that she would keep the abuse a secret and promised to heap shame on her by forcing her to divorce his son if she refused his demands for sex.
But after more than three months of abuse, she summoned the little English she had picked up and called 999 at dead of night to plead with the police for help.
Her life was such unbearable misery that she contemplated suicide, Bradford Crown Court heard, after her husband effectively abandoned her at his parents’ home.
The defendant, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, subjected the 22-year-old to ‘repeated and sustained’ sexual abuse, scratching her arm with a screwdriver and burning her with an iron to reinforce his authority over her, the court heard.
I hope these guys ran a really first rate restaurant.
But think of all the…

Tragic: 87-year-old Dorothy Griffiths was left unattended for ten minutes because her Muslim nurse was praying, an inquest heard
A vulnerable pensioner who died after a violent fall lay on the floor bleeding for up to ten minutes because a Muslim nurse was away praying, an inquest has heard.
Abdul Bhutto stayed on a prayer mat in an office when Dorothy Griffiths suffered serious injuries at Valley Park care home in Wombwell, South Yorkshire, witnesses claimed.
And once Mr Bhutto came to check the patient he said she was fine, only for her to take a turn for the worse four hours later, the inquest was told.
On October 24 last year Mrs Griffiths had fallen from her bed, cutting her head and suffering a gash to her hip.
She had been a resident at the home since developing advanced Alzheimer’s disease in 2009, and eventually died at Barnsley Hospital in November.
Carer Zoe Shaw told Sheffield Coroners Court she heard a ‘bang’ in the early hours of the morning and discovered the 89-year-old on the floor.
Worried for her welfare she ran to the office to request Mr Bhutto take a look at the elderly woman.
Weeping as she gave evidence she said she tried to call him and another member of staff told her she ‘had to wait two minutes for him to finish’ as he prayed.
Sharpshooters took aim from all directions at the veiled female suspect (below)
Saltburn is a small seaside town in the North East of England, the part of North Yorkshire that contains Middlesborough, and one of the depressed working class areas where Muslims have moved to in droves.
The only thing astonishing about this story, is that:
(a) The MSM are covering it: this is porbably due to that fact that the story was broken by a citizen journalist site.
(b) Politicians will claim it is an isolated incident.
(c) The powers that be will assure everyone that where we’re headed is a future in which things like this are less, rather than exponentially more, likely.
Armed Police surround the woman in Saltburn, Teesside, and take aim. Her bag is behind her.
It is a chilling image that will go around the world – police taking aim at a woman in a hijab after a tip-off claiming she could have a bomb in her bag.
It is not known if the holdall contained an explosive or not but officers were not taking any chances.
The incident is on-going eight hours after it started at the seafront in Saltburn, Teesside, today. Army bomb disposal experts are believed to be on site.

Cleveland Police have not yet confirmed the exact nature of the incident but said it was sparked after ‘information’ they received about the woman’s conduct. They said the area has been cordoned off and they are concerned about the welfare of a woman.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing a white woman wearing a dress with a veil sitting on a bench surrounded by armed police, who were alerted shortly after 11am. At 6.40pm, negotiations with her were still taking place.
Residents in Saltburn say they believe it is a woman local to the area.
Now that’s cooking the Laplander way
I don’t think I’ll be going out for Finnish food anytime soon.
But you know each and every one of these people own like the best restaurants in Europe, right?

More than 80 children have suffered appalling abuse after being branded as witches in a crimewave fuelled by medieval beliefs imported from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.
The scale of the problem – with many youngsters being beaten, starved and kept in cages – was revealed as a football coach was found guilty of torturing a boy to death.
Eric Bikubi, 28, faces life in prison after murdering 15-year-old Kristy Bamu in a four-day orgy of almost unimaginable violence.
WARNING: Graphic images below
Victim: Teenager Kristy Bamu, pictured left with a friend, suffered 130 injuries
Shocking: This was the squalid and bloodstained scene police were confronted by when they discovered the killing of Kristy Bamu by his sister and her partner in Newham, east London
Guilty: Magalie Bamu, left, and her partner Eric Bikubi, right, spent three days attack Kristy before he slipped under the water in a bath and died
Scene of the crime: Kristy was forced to pray for deliverance for three days and deprived of food and water
Eric Bikubi is facing a potential life sentence following the guilty verdict
Over the past decade, Scotland Yard has recorded 83 cases of children suffering barbaric treatment, including bizarre exorcism rituals. But detectives fear there may be hundreds of other young victims.
Bikubi was in the grip of a lifetime obsession with kindoki, or witchcraft, and believed he had special powers to detect evil.
His girlfriend, former Marks & Spencer worker Magalie Bamu, 29, the victim’s eldest sister, was also convicted of murder at the Old Bailey.
Kristy suffered 130 injuries as he was attacked with weapons including a metal bar, hammer, chisel, pliers and even heavy ceramic floor tiles.
He drowned in a bath on Christmas Day 2010 in front of his four terrified siblings as Bikubi hosed them down with freezing water in an abhorrent ‘cleansing’ ritual.
The murder took place just nine days after a woman disembowelled her four-year-old daughter as a sacrifice because she believed the child was possessed.
Shayma Ali, who was later detained indefinitely in a mental hospital, was obsessed with evil spirits and had removed all the eyes from the little girl’s toys.
Both cases, which took place just a few miles apart in East London, shocked detectives. They warned the number of cases linked to witchcraft is growing but the beliefs behind them remain little understood.
I guess the problem wasn’t so much the Maudit Englais after all.
But I bet these guys owned the best restaurant in all of Australia!

A daughter of a man who is on trial for murdering his wife at the Adelaide Convention Centre has told the Supreme Court she saw her father being pulled off her mother with a knife in his hand.
Zialloh Abrahimzadeh allegedly murdered his wife in front of 300 people at a Persian community celebration at the Convention Centre in March 2010 by repeatedly stabbing her in the back.
The couple’s eldest daughter, 25-year-old Atena, has testified against her father.
She told the court he was an abusive and aggressive man.
Ms Abrahimzadeh said her father regularly punished his wife and children by slapping and whipping them.
She said he once beat her for an hour after catching her talking to a boy on the phone and tried to suffocate her with a pillow.
The woman told the court her father said he was not a man if he did not teach his family a lesson and he swore on the Koran that he would kill them.
She said her mother was scared when she saw him arrive at the function and security staff had been asked to move him.
Ms Abrahimzadeh told the court she turned and saw her mother on the floor and her father was being restrained by up to 10 people, with a knife in his hand.
The trial continues.
This is a recurring theme it seems when muslims stab. beat or shoot someone in the UK. “I only wanted to scare them-him-her with it” (the shotgun bomb or knife or blade in this case. Is there even any point in playing the turn-around game with this? Like what would have happened had the white indigenous British girl slashed the Somali with a blade like that?
Well after all, its worth it. Think of all the great restaurants. I mean who wouldn’t suffer a few stitches to get a chance to eat at one of London’s finer Somali restaurants.
Eeyore
UPDATE:
THanks to an observant reader I have been informed that I missed the date in this article which is 30 June 2006
I posted it because I thought it was recent, but also because the phrase was also used in a recent fatal shotgun shooting of a British man by a Muslim who also claimed ‘he only wanted to scare’.
Thanks for the heads up Robert.
Shanni Naylor pictured after the attack
A 13-year-old girl who slashed a classmate across the face, leaving her needing 30 stitches, was today given a two-year supervision order by a judge.
Yesterday the girl, who cannot be named, was found guilty of unlawfully wounding Shanni Naylor at Myrtle Springs School in Sheffield last year when both girls were 12 but she was cleared of the more serious charge of wounding with intent.
Today at Sheffield Crown Court, the Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Alan Goldsack QC, said he did not have the power to give the girl a custodial sentence.
The three-day trial was told that, the day before the attack, the girl was subjected to a “vicious” assault by Shanni, who punched her repeatedly, banging her head against a wall, as more than 100 pupils looked on without helping.
The court heard the defendant describe how she did not plan to attack Shanni the next day but had found the blade and only wanted to scare her with it.
The jury was told how the girl had an extremely low IQ and had lived in Somalia for the first 10 years of her life without any formal education and having been orphaned when she was young. Continue Reading →

Universities are dropping maths from degree courses because students – and their lecturers – cannot cope with it, a report warns today.
Decades of substandard maths education in schools has led to a ‘crisis’ in England’s number skills, threatening the future of the economy, it says.
Universities are being forced to dumb down degree courses requiring the use of maths, including sciences, economics, psychology and social sciences.
Maths crisis: Universities are being forced to dumb down degree courses which require the use of maths because students can’t keep up
Students are unable to tackle complex problems and their lecturers struggle to teach them anyway, it is claimed.
The reputation of the country’s universities and graduates is now under threat, according to the report, ‘Solving the Maths Problem’, published by the education lobby group RSA.
After looking at maths education in other countries, the authors found that lessons and qualifications in English schools were ‘not fit for purpose’.
They say that classes fail to stretch the brightest while leaving weaker pupils ill-equipped to use maths for work and family budgeting, and warn of a growing knock-on effect on universities.
It seems that courses at British universities cover the basics like never before.
The stereotypical student is a messy sort of beast, with a fondness for alcohol and daytime TV and an allergy to washing up.
But for all their foibles, most people would expect the teenaged scamps to have mastered the use of a toilet.
Not so at Swansea University, where campus chiefs have put up signs in a helpful attempt to provide students with toilet training.
Completely potty: This ‘toilet training’ poster was put up in ladies’ toilets at Swansea University after some were found in a mess
University bosses said they put up instructions about how to use the toilets properly after some were found in a mess, sparking a series of complaints.
Explaining their decision, they blamed ‘cultural differences’ in the way the toilets are used by foreign students, some of whom are used to the ‘squat toilets’ common in parts of Asia and Europe. Continue Reading →
