The figure was cited by former Labour Attorney General Lord Morris of Aberavon at question time in the Lords. He said inquiries involved 27 police forces as he urged greater co-operation between agencies after the convictions of a sex abuse ring in the Oxford area. Home Office minister Lord Taylor of Holbeach said the problem was a focus for the government. Seven men are awaiting sentencing at the Old Bailey for their roles in the Oxford case which followed trials dealing with similar gangs in Telford, Rochdale and Derby. While those cases involved mainly defendants of British Pakistani origin and white British female victims, a report from the Children's Commissioner for England has stated that abusers "come from all ethnic groups and so do their victims". Raising the spate of recent convictions, Lord Morris said: "Is it collective amnesia that has blinded us to the underlying circumstances, whereby at least 27 police forces are investigating 54 alleged child grooming gangs? "Why has investigating and prosecuting in so many different parts of the country taken so much time? "Is it the fear of racialism, or is it the fact that many of these vulnerable girls come from care homes?" Lord Taylor said there had been a "failure to recognise the reality that many of these young people have experienced". He said: "The government is determined the system should work, the system needs to work, to protect these vulnerable children." He said safeguarding children boards were working in local authorities and police must "lend a positive ear" to complaints from children. "This has been perhaps the point of failure in the system that these allegations have not been listened to or taken seriously by the authorities in the past," he said. Lord Taylor said inquiries into how the Crown Prosecution Service and police handled past investigations were also taking place. "We expect that all agencies learn lessons from the horrendous cases we have seen recently," he said. Lord Taylor said 2,409 children and young people had been confirmed as victims of sexual exploitation by gangs or groups between August 2010 and October 2011. "Those figures speak for themselves the scale of what has to be dealt with," he said. Former deputy high court judge and independent crossbencher Lord Elystan-Morgan suggested law enforcement agencies should be "prepared to adopt more robust tactics, including infiltration and surveillance". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22617339 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2ee_1369168602 Zurm Police 'investigating 54 <span class="highlight">child</span> grooming gangs' Police,investigating,child,grooming,gangs Tue, 21 May 2013 09:55:28 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ac0_1369144303 english-patriot33 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2132985/Muslim-gang-jailed-kidnapping-raping-girls-Eid-celebrations.html Muslim gang jailed for kidnapping and raping two girls as part of their Eid celebrations :Victims were lured miles from home to dingy hostel :They were subjected to a weekend-long ordeal A group of Muslim men who abducted and raped two teenage girls as part of their Eid celebrations laughed in court yesterday as they were jailed for a total of 38 years. The girls, aged 15 and 16, were lured miles from their home to a dingy hostel. In a horrifying weekend-long ordeal, they were plied with alcohol and repeatedly raped by two men, Shamrez Rashid and Amar Hussain, before being offered to a number of others who also 'used them for sex'. The 16-year old was forced to have sex six times with four different men. The younger victim was raped by one man and then sexually assaulted by another. One defendant, Rashid, 20, was said to have claimed the girls had enjoyed the sex, which he said had taken place as they celebrated the Muslim festival of Eid. 'It was Eid,' he said. 'We treated them as our guests. OK, so they gave us but we were buying them food and drink. 'They could have anything they wanted. They enjoyed it.' His accomplice Amar Hussain, 22, claimed the girls were 'slags'. But Judge Melbourne Inman QC said the girls had still been children at the time of the offences. He said it was quite obvious they had been frightened of the men, but this had had 'no effect at all' on their attackers' behaviour. 'They were still children and still living with their families,' Judge Inman said. 'In a civilised society, such people should be helped. You all abused them. 'They were extremely vulnerable and you took advantage of that.' The five defendants laughed and smirked as the horrifying details of their offences were described in court yesterday. Rashid - who had already been found guilty of two rapes, an attempted rape, child abduction and an attempted sexual assault - grinned, laughed and made gun gestures in the dock. His supporters in the public gallery hurled abuse at the judge as he passed sentence later. The court heard how Rashid and Hussain drove the girls from their home in Telford in Shropshire to a Birmingham probation hostel on the evening of Saturday November 28 2009. 'Subjected to constant abuse' They took them to an unfamiliar environment so they 'would be disorientated and reliant on them,' prosecutors said. After raping the girls, they 'in effect offered them up to their friends, introducing a string of young men into the house'. Over the following 36 hours, the girls were subjected to almost constant abuse, despite begging their attackers to stop. The 16-year-old was left with bruising all over her face and neck after she was forced to perform a sex act on Hussain. She was then forced to have sex with Rashid and a third man, Adil Saleem, while others watched. The court heard how she held on to a doorframe to try to stop her attacker dragging her into a bedroom, but was pushed inside and the door locked behind her. She was warned that her attackers were in a gang known as the B9 Crew, and that 'when someone pressed charges against them, they went to their mother's house, put a gun to her face and broke her jaw'. The girls eventually ran from the hostel and called the emergency services from a payphone. The trial at Birmingham Crown Court was the latest of several cases in which groups of men have been accused of sexually exploiting vulnerable girls. Hussain was found guilty of child abduction and three rapes and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Rashid received ten years for child abduction, two rapes, an attempted rape and attempted sexual assault. Adil Saleem, 20, was given eight years for one count of rape. Jahbar Rafiq, 28, was handed eight years for rape and sexual assault and Amer Islam Choudhrey, 20, was given 15 months for child abduction and sexual assault. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ac0_1369144303 english-patriot33 Muslim gang jailed for kidnapping and raping two girls as part of their Eid celebrations islam, muslims, child rapists, terrorists, shut the immigration gates now, Tue, 21 May 2013 22:53:10 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=472_1369191076 cathy winslow Two suspected Islamic militants killed in Ingushetia attack The Russian National Anti-terrorist Committee (NAK) announced it killed two allies of Islamist Chechen militant Doku Umarov in the Republic of Ingushetia on Tuesday.

Human Rights Watch says many are jailed for running away from home, often from forced marriages or domestic violence. Others are behind bars as a result of alleged adultery, in truth often involving rape, it said. The government should "get tough on abusers of women and stop blaming women who are crime victims", said HRW. It said 600 women and girls were now imprisoned for "moral crimes" - the highest since the US-led overthrow of the Taliban 12 years ago. About 110 of those were girls under 18. Virginity tests Human Rights Watch's alert comes just three days after angry scenes in the Afghan parliament forced a halt to a debate about reinforcing a law to prevent violence against women. The law banning violence against women, child marriages and forced marriages was passed by presidential decree in 2009, but did not gain MPs' approval. Some women's activists had worried that by opening up the law for debate might risk it being watered down or even repealed. Human Rights Watch says many of the protections within the Elimination of Violence Against Women law - which bans forced and underage marriage, beatings and rape - are still not being implemented on the ground. "Four years after the adoption of a law on violence against women and 12 years after Taliban rule, women are still imprisoned for being victims of forced marriage, domestic violence, and rape," Brad Adams, HRW Asia director, was quoted as saying. It said many of those detained for so-called moral crimes had attempted to report rapes to police only to be arrested for adultery, while others fleeing forced marriages or abuse were jailed for running away from home - even though that is not a crime according to the Afghan criminal code. And it said that many of those accused of "moral crimes" were subjected to "virginity tests" with no medical basis which contravened international law. "Coerced 'virginity' examinations are a form of sexual assault," Mr Adams said. "Afghan police, without any scientific basis, are routinely forcing these unspeakable examinations on women and girls." One prisoner, Sorya, told HRW she was forced to marry at 12 and was abused by her husband. After nine years of marriage during which she had three children, he accused her of running away with another man whom she had not even met. HRW said Sorya was serving a sentence of five-and-a-half years in prison. She was pregnant at the time of her arrest, and her baby died in prison three weeks after he was born. 'Tragedy' HRW's Afghanistan researcher, Heather Barr, said the dramatic increase in prosecutions for "moral crimes" could be related to increased confidence among religious conservatives as international troops prepare to leave Afghanistan in 2014. "I think it's possible that as everyone anticipates the departure of foreigners, there is a feeling that in a sense things can go back to normal, and... people will be free to ignore in the future,'' Ms Barr said. "If that's true, that's really is a tragedy, because these ideas didn't come from foreigners. These ideas came from Afghan women's rights activists,'' she said. HRW called on Afghan President Hamid Karzai to issue a decree that running away should not be treated as a crime and instruct police to investigate possible incidents of violence against women. It urged international donors to pressure the government to improve women's protections. The Afghan interior ministry says it is preparing a response to Human Rights Watch's report. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22614536 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6a9_1369175177 drynwhyl Afghan Women Jailed For 'Immorality' Increases 50% In 18 Months afghanistan, afghan, women, misogyny, inequality, islamic, justice, immorality, moral, crimes, forced, marriages, domestic, violence, human, rights, watch, rape, beatings, underage, pedophilia, hamid, karzai Tue, 21 May 2013 16:29:01 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9da_1369167796 th1sf8te A mother has described the torment of having a son with severe ADHD, admitting that if he were an animal, she would have him put down. Jenny Young has four children aged 25, 23, 19 and 10 and astonishingly, not only have they all been diagnosed with the behavioural disorder, but she too was told she had it in her mid-forties. But it is her youngest child Ryan, 10, who suffers with the most extreme symptoms of the condition as well as severe learning disabilities, subjecting Jenny to daily violent attacks. She said that because she is his mother, and not a pet owner, she must put up with it. Jenny explained that she is the main target of his frustration and that if Ryan, who has the mental age of a two-year-old, were her husband they would have divorced by now. She added that people should not judge her for her comments until they have heard her story. Jenny said that she used the example of putting a dog down because she has a member of the family who went through the traumatic experience of having their dog euthanised after they could not control its violence. 'It was a horrendous traumatic experience for the whole family. They worked really, really, hard and did everything they could possibly do for . 'They spent lots of money and put lots of effort in and ultimately they had the choice to have her put down. 'I don't liken Ryan and the dog exactly but there is a choice. When you have a dog that behaves and might attack you any minute, you have a choice. 'I wouldn't be without Ryan but that when you're the mother of a child like Ryan there is no choice. There isn't a refuge for battered mums - you have to get on with it. Jenny made the startlingly frank comments on ITV's This Morning. Her oldest son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was ten. Before then people excused his behaviour as 'just being a boy'. Jenny said: 'It was a relief because he wasn't just being naughty.' She then went on to recognise the same traits in her other children. Jenny added that her late diagnosis of ADHD has helped her to relate to her children and ultimately to cope with her situation. She said: 'If you've got an ADHD mind it's difficult to understand those who don't have an ADHD mind.' But at times she says it has been very difficult to cope, especially when all four children were little. Her first marriage broke down in the mid-Nineties but in 2002 she remarried. Jenny, who had always wanted to be a mother, said she hadn't expected to have any more children. She added that she knew that Ryan would have problems from very early on: 'You could tell from the scans that there would be something wrong, but we didn't know what. He was developing very slowly and was tiny.' Ryan was delivered by Caesarean section at 38 weeks and weighed just 3lb 11oz when he was born. From then on he developed very slowly, both physically and mentally. Due to the strain that Ryan's problems put on her marital relationship, Jenny's second marriage broke down in 2008 and the couple divorced. Jenny said that she grieved for Ryan when he was diagnosed with ADHD and severe learning difficulties. 'You don't love your child any less but it's a bit like going on holiday and not arriving in the place you expected. It's a lovely place, but not what you expected.' Jenny went on to explain that 99 per cent of the time Ryan is adorable but that for that one per cent of the time he is violent and unpredictable. 'And I think most parents would say same thing. There are two sides to him. The biggest problem is the unpredictability. He can be gorgeous all day and then I can squat down to give him a cuddle and he might bite me or scratch me or knock my glasses off or scratch me or punch me. 'At least every day I get punched in the face.' Jenny said that sounds tend to trigger Ryan's violent outbursts, with modem hand dryers being a main culprit. as well as simply changing activities causing him to become upset. 'Simply changing routine can cause him to become upset but sometimes it can be nothing,' she added. Jenny, who once worked part-time in an office, but has since dedicated herself to working as Ryan's full-time carer, says she thinks about the future and says that Ryan's behaviour could go either way. 'Maybe he will learn to express himself better and maybe it will all get better. The worst fear is that he won't get better and he will be same size as me and do even more damage.' Jenny went on to describe the lack of help provided for parents of children with ADHD and learning difficulties. 'Unfortunately professionals don't always believe you and it can be very difficult to get the level of support needed. 'When you're a mum and you tell them you've tried everything and you're at your wit's end, specialists tend to keep offering other things rather than giving level of support needed.' 'There is help but you have to fight for it and shout loud and even be seen crying. 'Schools and social workers can help but no one will come along and say to you "You look like you're having a difficult time - do you need some help?"' Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a group of behavioural symptoms that include inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.'I want to get more help so we don't reach crisis point. More training, more respite and a residential placement later on. And I don't just want this for me. I am not alone. I know so many other mums who are at their wit's end. Luckily we have each other.' ADHD can occur in people of any intellectual ability but many people with ADHD also have learning difficulties. They may also have additional problems such as sleep disorders. Symptoms of ADHD tend to be first noticed at an early age, and may become more noticeable as a child grows up. It is the most common behavioural disorder in the UK. It is estimated the condition affects 2-5% of school-aged children and young people. ADHD can be a lifelong condition, and many children continue to have symptoms as a teenager and adult. Young children are naturally active and easily distracted. However, if these features are excessive for a child's age and general developmental level, and affecting their daily life, they may indicate ADHD. ADHD is normally diagnosed between the ages of three to seven, although in some cases it may not be until much later. It is more commonly diagnosed in boys. The exact cause of ADHD is not known, although research shows that it tends to run in families. Studies have also shown that there may be differences in the way the brain works in people with ADHD. There is no cure for ADHD, but it can be managed with appropriate educational support, advice and support for parents and the individual, and medication if necessary. Living with a child with ADHD can be challenging but it is important to remember that they cannot help their behaviour. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9da_1369167796 th1sf8te 'If my son was a dog, I'd have him put down': Mother whose son suffers from ADHD says she is fed up of her daily, violent battles with him 'If my son was a dog, I'd have him put down': Mother whose son suffers from ADHD says she is fed up of her daily, violent battles with him Tue, 21 May 2013 11:53:38 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=081_1369150801 KirbyPop KAITLYN Hunt, 18, sounds like your typical American teenager - a cheerleader with top grades, a trainee nurse and recipient of the 'most school spirit' award.But now everything has changed. Ms Hunt is facing child abuse charges and two years imprisonment in her Florida home because of a consenting same-sex relationship she had with a 15-year-old peer which began when she was 17. The charges are being pressed by the girlfriend's parents and the Hunt family allege it is because they blame Kate for their daughter's homosexuality. "They were out to destroy my daughter, they feel like my daughter 'made' their daughter gay," Kelley Hunt Smith, Kate's mother, said in a post on Facebook, adding that they went straight to police with the charges. "They are teenagers in high school experimenting with their sexuality - with mutual consent. And even if their daughter is gay, who cares? She is still their daughter," Ms Hunt Smith said. "These people never came to us as parents, never tried to speak with us ... and tell us they had a problem with the girls dating." The Assistant State Attorney last week offered Ms Hunt a plea bargain, where she could plead guilty to the felony of child abuse and spend two years under house arrest plus one year of probation. She could also be placed on a sex offender register. The case has sparked a huge backlash in the United States since the family went public last week. An online petition started by the family that demand the prosecution be stopped has garnered more than 46,000 signatures. The petition says: "(She is) facing serious felonies - all because she is in love" and many signatories believe it would not have occurred if she wasn't a lesbian. Signer Nathan Johnstone, from Melbourne, Florida, said: "Being gay and in a same-sex relationship, I find this ridiculous and appalling. I highly doubt this would be happening if it were a 'traditional' relationship." Steven R. Hunt, Kate's father, told The Examiner that the relationship had caused controversy at the school from the beginning. Ms Hunt was dropped from her basketball team, he said, because the coach feared it would spark "drama". Weeks before Kaitlyn graduated, her girlfriend's family successfully petitioned the school to have her expelled. The family, who took the issue public last week, is hoping that the controversy will force the State Attorney to improve the plea offer. Kaitlyn has until May 24 to decide whether she will accept the plea deal. If she does not accept the deal she will appear in court on June 20.

She said the musician's manager, Tom Vitorino, confirmed Manzarek died after being stricken with bile duct cancer. The Doors' original lineup, which also included drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robbie Krieger, was only together for a few years and they only made six studio albums. But the band has retained a large and obsessive following decades after Morrison's death, in 1971. The Doors have sold more than 100 million records and songs such as "Light My Fire" and "Riders On the Storm" are still "classic" rock favorites. For Doors admirers, the band symbolized the darker side of the Los Angeles lifestyle, what happened to the city after the sun went down and the Beach Boys fans headed home. Next to Morrison, Manzarek was the most distinctive-looking band member, his glasses and wavy blond hair making him resemble a young English professor more than a rock star, a contrast to Morrison's Dionysian glamour - his sensuous mouth and long, dark hair. Musically, Manzarek's spidery organ on "Light My Fire" is one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock history. But he seemed up to finding the right touch for a wide range of songs - the sleepy, lounge-style keyboards on "Riders On the Storm"; the liquid strains for "The Crystal Ship"; the barrelhouse romps on "Roadhouse Blues." The Doors always considered themselves "more" than a rock band and Manzarek, Densmore and Krieger often managed a flowing rapport that blended rock, blues and jazz behind Morrison's self-consciously poetic lyrics. "There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison's words," Densmore said in a statement. "Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother." The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Their records have been reissued frequently and the band was the subject of a 1991 Oliver Stone movie, "The Doors," starring Val Kilmer as Morrison and Kyle MacLachlan as Manzarek, who complained that the film stereotyped Morrison as a hopeless drunk and also omitted calmer, more humorous times. The Doors' fame has hardly faded even though they're one of the few groups not to allow their music to be used for commercials, a source of great tension among surviving members. Manzarek and Krieger reportedly supported licensing the songs, and Densmore has resisted. The group also feuded when Krieger and Manzarek formed a new group, Doors of the 21st Century. Densmore objected, and Krieger and Manzarek performed under various names. Other Doors albums included "The Soft Parade," ''Waiting for the Sun" and their last record with Morrison, "L.A. Woman." Manzarek briefly tried to hold the band together on the albums "Other Voices" and "Full Circle," neither of which had critical or commercial success. He played in other bands over the years, working with X and Iggy Pop among others. He also wrote a memoir, "Light My Fire," and a novel, "The Poet In Exile," in which he imagines receiving messages from a Morrison-like artist who had supposedly died. Born and raised in Chicago, Manzarek studied piano as a child and briefly considered a career in basketball. After graduating from DePauw University, he headed west to study film at UCLA. A few months after graduation, he and Morrison met in 1965 on Venice Beach in California. As Manzarek would often recall, Morrison read him some lyrics - Let's swim to the moon/Let's climb through the tide/Penetrate the evening that the/City sleeps to hide" - that became the start of "Moonlight Drive." "I'd never heard lyrics to a rock song like that before," Manzarek told Billboard in 1967. "We talked a while before we decided to get a group together and make a million dollars." By 1966, they had been joined by Krieger and Densmore and were a sensation live, especially during the theatrical, Oedipal epic, "The End." They were the house band at the famed Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles before being signed by Elektra Records and releasing a self-titled album in 1967, one of the most talked-about debuts in rock history. "Well, to me, my God, for anybody who was there it means it was a fantastic time," Manzarek told The Republican in Massachusetts during an interview last year. "We thought we could actually change the world - to make it a more Christian, Islamic, Judaic Buddhist, Hindu, loving world. We thought we could. The children of the '50s post-war generation were actually in love with life and had opened the doors of perception. And we were in love with being alive and wanted to spread that love around the planet and make peace, love and harmony prevail upon earth, while getting stoned, dancing madly and having as much sex as you could possibly have." Manzarek is survived by his wife, Dorothy; his son Pablo and two brothers, Rick and James. Funeral arrangements are pending. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/05/20/founding-member-doors-dies-at-74-publicist-says/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bb6_1369140862 marypoppinsonheroin Ray Manzarek, founding member of The Doors, dies at 74, Ray Manzarek, the doors, Tue, 21 May 2013 08:24:02 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=61e_1369138840 Zurm Statistics obtained from Afghanistan's Interior Ministry by the campaign group Human Rights Watch reveal the number of women and girls convicted of 'moral crimes,' which include running away from home has increased by 50 per cent in the last year from 400 to 600. Many of the 600 women jailed in the last year are victims of sexual assault and domestic abuse whose only crime was to run away from their assailants, the group said. It called on the Afghan government to enforce its own Elimination of Violence Against Women (EVAW), and to stop its judges punishing female victims. Although it is not a crime in Afghanistan for women to run away, the group said the country's judges, including members of its Supreme Court, regard women who run away from their homes as criminals. Many of them who flee rapes and other assaults have been charged with seeking sex outside marriage, known as Zina in Afghanistan. Those jailed for Zina include women and girls who have been raped or forced into prostitution, the group said. Earlier this year Human Rights Watch released its report I had to Run Away, which revealed that half of all women and 95 per cent of girls in Afghan jails had been convicted of 'moral crimes' of running away or sex outside marriage. A report by Oxfam found that 87 per cent of Afghan women had suffered sexual and physical abuse and been forced into unwanted marriages. Earlier this year a 22 year old woman, Gulnaz, who was jailed for Zina after she was raped and impregnated by her cousin's husband decided to marry her attacker to spare her daughter the stigma of being born out of wedlock. She had been 'pardoned' for her crime by President Karzai and released following an international outcry. "Four years after the adoption of a law on violence against women and twelve years after Taliban rule, women are still imprisoned for being victims of forced marriage, domestic violence, and rape. The Afghan government needs to get tough on abusers of women, and stop blaming women who are crime victims," said Brad Adams, Asia director of Human Rights Watch. The group called on President Karzai to issue a decree clarifying that 'running away' is not a crime and other crimes, like Zina should not be used to punish runaways. The 2009 Elimination of Violence Against Women law, which was inctroduced by a presidential decree, has yet to be passed by the Afghan parliament which voiced its opposition once again on Saturday. Islamic conservatives in the parliament are opposed to provisions which make it illegal for a father to stop his daughter marrying a man of her choice. They also oppose for women who have fled sexual abuse and violence and claim they are 'immoral' houses of prostitution and casual sex. Some support amendments which would legalise forced and child marriages and domestic assaults in some circumstances. Last year just over one in five of 470 violence against women cases resulted in conviction. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/10070377/Sharp-rise-in-jail-terms-for-Afghan-rape-and-abuse-victims.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=61e_1369138840 Zurm Sharp rise in jail terms for Afghan rape and abuse victims rise,jail,terms,Afghan,rape,abuse,victims Mon, 20 May 2013 19:33:57 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e21_1369092454 RussleJimmiez 961 Child Rapes A Day In South Africa From Fred Rundle 8-2-4 With only a population of 40,000 people in the small town of Theunissen, six children are are raped there every week. It must be made clear, all the rapes are committed by Blacks. If you have six babies being raped every week in a small town of only 40,000 people, it means that 312 babies are being raped there EVERY YEAR. This amounts to .78% rapes of the population occuring there alone. That also means that in our Black ruled, sick South Africa, 961 child rapes occur every day. Shockingly, 40 children, some of them babies as young as six months old, are being raped by these depraved beasts every minute during every 24 hour day cycle. Very few of these perpetrators face prosecution under this government of criminals, for the criminals. The above does not take into account the fact that many child and other rapes, are not being reported. Therefore, these rape statistics are only a fraction of what is actually taking place every day. Adult rapes are far more prevelant and frequent, and those statistics will make shocking reading! However, according to the the SABC broadcasts and the press, there is very little crime in South Africa. They are in denial, just as Thabo Mbeki is in denial about the existence of Aids, claiming that he does not know anybody with Aids. And all the lemmings are marching in step over the cliff into the abyss, because their Judas Goat dominees are pointing them in that direction, whilst they joyfully sing their praises. As long as they are given their beloved multi-racial rugby, cricket and their six packs, they stay subdued. They don't realise, or care, if their children and loved ones are systematically being killed by the Black beasts who are busy with ethnic cleansing. Six To Ten Small Children Raped In Theunissen Each Week Says Doctor Case Nr 336/04, Regional court, Theunissen, Free State: Cuban doctor Arial Torres testified in a rape case this week that he has to treat a weekly six to ten small children aged from five to seven years for rape in the small Free State town of Theunissen alone... (pop.40,000) He was testifying in the trial of local youth, 14-year-old Johannes Masedi, who was charged with raping a six-year-old girl. Masedi testified that he "did not know the rape was wrong". The case has been postponed to 21 July 2004. And Theunissen is not the only town in South Africa with such terrifying problems -- of Welkom's six regional courts, half now primarily deal with such so-called "sex crimes" -- the word given to these courts by the ANC regime, even though rape has nothing at all to do with "sex": rape instead is the male's ultimate expression of a deep-seated hatred of all females, of whatever age they may be. The tens of thousands of baby-rapes now routinely taking place in South Africa are also caused by the ongoing claims of so-called "traditional healers" that raping virginal children would cure Aids-sufferers... . Meanwhile the Department of Health nor the Police Department are failing to address this problem aggressively or pro-actively by, for instance, arresting such "traditional healers" for inciting baby-rapes. . Not surprising really, since the Department of Health's stated mission is: "To provide a comprehensive support service to the Minister of Health in her political and parliamentary activities..". . Whatever happened to providing a pro-active health service to the South African population - which should include an aggressively pro-active campaign to demand the arrests of any and all "traditional healers" who are continuing to earn huge amounts of cash with their tragically-deadly "medical advice"? . Instead, the SA Health Department has co-opted such "traditional healers" into service, and they are even allowed to ply their vicious trade in state-controlled health facilities.... . http://www.doh.gov.za/ministry/index.html . http://www.doh.gov.za/department/foodcontrol/sa_municipal/fs-municipal.html. . http://www.brain.org.za/SUPPORT/provfs.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e21_1369092454 RussleJimmiez South Africa is <span class="highlight">Child</span> Rape Pedophile Capital of the World..961 <span class="highlight">Child</span> Rapes A DAY. blacks, africans, child, molesters, child, rape, capital, of, the, world, african, pedophiles, sick, michael, jackson, r, kelly Mon, 20 May 2013 18:07:01 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=260_1369087376 MortenHj From Hama but no idea on date.
