In the waning days of December 2008 and into January 2009, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) unleashed a wave of brutality in the northern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the merciless killing of over 865 civilians and the abduction of at least 160 children. Employing gruesome methods such as hacking victims with machetes or axes and crushing skulls with clubs, the LRA carried out these atrocities in the Doruma, Duru, and Faradje areas of the Haut-Uele district.
The most harrowing attacks occurred over a 48-hour period during Christmas in locations approximately 160 miles apart. Seemingly calculated, the LRA chose this festive time to maximize the number of people congregated. Notably, similar weapons and tactics were employed in parts of southern Sudan, where the LRA also unleashed violence. These massacres were part of LRA's long-standing pattern of horrific atrocities. Originally based in Uganda and southern Sudan, the LRA transitioned to Congo in 2006. Initially refraining from targeting Congolese communities, the group shifted its stance in September 2008, launching attacks to punish locals who had aided LRA defectors. The attacks, coupled with the Christmas massacres, resulted in the tragic deaths of over 1,033 civilians and the abduction of at least 476 children.
Human rights organizations, and regional governments have condemned the LRA's actions, initiating military operations and peace endeavors. However, the arrest and prosecution of key LRA leaders, including Joseph Kony, continue to pose significant difficulties.
These massacres stand as a stark reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive efforts to address the root causes of violence, safeguard civilian populations, and foster stability in the troubled areas of Africa.

Bombay Dog Riots
Did you know that the first-ever riot in the city of Bombay was over dogs? Led by the otherwise peace loving Parsis in the city, the ‘Dog Riots’ of 1832 were a protest against the British authorities and a draconian law they introduced targeting dogs!

The Hello Kitty murder case took place in Hong Kong in the spring of 1999, when a nightclub hostess was abducted in Lai Yiu Estate, where the victim was tortured and raped in an apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui after stealing a wallet owned by one of her frequent customers.
Fan Man-yee was held captive by three men and one girl before dying between April 14 to April 15, 1999.
Her body was decapitated and her skull placed inside of a Hello Kitty mermaid plush, which gave the name for the murder case.
On December 7, 2000, after a trial which started on October 20, three men were convicted of manslaughter, as the jury ruled the remains were not sufficient to show whether Fan was murdered or died from a drug overdose.
The trio were sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

A Disturbing Executioner's Tool...
.
.
.
A garrote, also known as a garotte, garrotte, or chokehold, is a weapon or a method of execution designed to strangle or choke a person to death. There are different variations of garrotes, but they typically involve a cord, wire, or similar ligature used to constrict the victim's neck, cutting off their air supply or causing severe injury to the neck and throat.
Normally people are strangled by squeezing the carotid artery, but the garrote compresses the air tube.
The victim dies slowly, by suffocation.
In the past, a noose was placed around the neck of the condemned person from behind, which was slowly tightened by means of a stick. Later, this noose was replaced by a metal band. However, this only served to fix the victim. A metal screw was screwed into the neck from behind. This caused death immediately. The theory was that when the screw was tightened, it would crush the brain stem and kill the victim instantly.
In Spain, under the dictator Franco, death sentences were carried out with this instrument until 1974 (!) and it was even reported in detail in the newspapers.

Scaphism..the scariest method of execution in history
.
.
.
Scaphism, also known as "the boats," was an ancient method of torture and execution that was used by the Persians and later by the Greeks. The method involved trapping a person between two boats or hollowed-out tree trunks, smearing them with honey and milk, and then leaving them to be devoured by insects.
The victim would be stripped naked and placed in one of the boats. The other boat would be placed on top of them, trapping them inside. Holes would be cut in the top boat to allow the person's head, arms, and legs to protrude. The person would then be fed a mixture of milk and honey, which would attract insects such as flies, wasps, and ants.
Over time, the insects would swarm around and inside the person's body, eating the honey and milk, and eventually, the person's flesh. The victim would be left to suffer in the boats, often for several days, until they died from a combination of starvation, dehydration, and insect bites.

Story County, Iowa Supervisor Latifah Faisal wants illegal alien migrant camps all over Ames, Iowa. She had a hissy fit & blocked me when I asserted that Kim Reynolds was right for telling Fake POTUS Joe Biden to jump in a lake when he wanted to dump illegal alien migrants in Iowa. Latifah Faisal is not good at taking care of herself (she once whined that she had to go to a skating rink to get the interwebs decades ago & probably thought someone else should pay for it – why didn’t her parents pay for it?) & she would not take in several single, young adult males from Honduras into her rural Iowa home – but she’s ok w/ taxpayers paying for it.
Vote this lunatic out, she is promoting policies that will create tent cities all over Iowa (Reynolds will block this, as will the Legislature), overrun hospitals & cause hyperinflation. Her policies will guarantee that the shelves are empty. She wants to bring this economy down on purpose.
No immigration by merit, she wants to import voters from the 3rd world that will become a burden on taxpayers, build them public housing (on your dime), give them free health care, a free education, etc. Latifah Faisal does NOT want meritorious immigration, she wants immigrants that she can sign up for a bevy of benefits & then register them to vote.
The end-game of this is to give amnesty to these people, so they can stack the Supreme Court, nullify an individual right to own a firearm & confiscate private property. Then & only then can they put dissenters into camps and/or murder them. This is the path every dictator takes because every intelligent dictator disarms their opponents first.
Latifah Faisal wants to turn Iowa into California, don’t let her do it. Latifah Faisal wants to turn the U.S. into California, don’t do it. She has never had a job in the private sector where she’s paid a dime in taxes. She has never created a job & never will.
Send her packing in November, back to her other taxpayer-funded job doing something for Story County. Latifah Faisal & Klaus Schwab have a lot in common, their end-game is the same, period https://rumble.com/v2nu6z6-they-the-democrats-want-you-to-be-poor.html https://rumble.com/v2gaoks-divorcee-sam-seder-wants-to-sell-rural-america-some-snake-oil.html
My previous responses to this lunatic https://web.archive.org/web/20230830001607/https://professor_enigma.webs.com/steve-orourke-story-county https://web.archive.org/web/20230830001619/https://professor_enigma.webs.com/latifah-faisal-story-county https://rumble.com/user/UTubekookdetector?q=latifah%20faisal
Some data on immigration, a bit dated but still relevant https://rumble.com/vdr66v-old-fart-rants-is-dung-now-by-utubekookdetector-illegal-immigration.html When Democrats say our immigration system is broken, what they mean is we’re not letting in enough people willy-nilly, they hate merit, which is counterproductive to their open borders scheme.
Ask them to tell you how many people were naturalized per year under Obama, the Bushes, Clinton or Reagan. Answers like, “too few” or “not enough” will not be accepted.
PS the Democrats are flummoxed now that the public is getting upset at this, so do not believe the lies they will tell over the next 11 months. They’ll tell you, “We’re going to hire more border agents, we’re going to close the border, we’re going to crack down.”
DO NOT believe it, it is a lie. They want to keep the WH in 2024, keep the Senate & gain the House on the back of that lie. As soon as that happens, they will open the border up again & begin the process to give amnesty to ~10+ million illegal aliens (that they purposely spread out all over this country, many times in the dead of night so it’s difficult to keep track of them. They have no intention of getting to their hearing, period), so they can stack the SCOTUS, take your guns away & confiscate private property
