Somalia isn't the world's only horror scene By J.W. JOHNSON Nothwithstanding the daily media blitz of pathetic children dying in the street, the current efforts in Somalia represent the largest scale case of reverse discrimination seen to date. —Item: Six months after we and the other nations of the world leave Somalia, the same suffering and dying will return. If you feed a man, he will be hungry again tomorrow. If you teach him how tto feed himself, he will live to thank you. —Item: As many, and more Africans die each year in other ~ parts of that country without so much as receiving a paragraph of newsprint. —Item: We have as many or more armed gangs roaming our own streets, Killing innocent victims, and we are not disarming them. Why do we find ourselves in this situation? Because this nation and others have succumbed to the victimizing taunts of minority leaders who profit from racism, i.e., the so-called Rev. Al Sharpton and many others like him. And, of course, given this thinly disguised baited challenge to demonstrate our racially blind humanity, we show up with our lily white skin, do-gooder hearts at the ready...just so we can say to ourselves, and the so-called Reverend, “It just ain't so, AL” And we are doing this while the equally as great tragedy now being played out in newly independent Bosnia and Herzegovina receives far less media and governmental attention. Well, just to let you know what's going on in Yugoslavia, and which the pathetic children pictures might have blinded you to, please read on...and be forewarned, the following is not meant for the faint of heart. Retired Admiral and former chief of Naval Operations, Elmo Zumwalt, has provided these chilling details: /==AL one prisoner camp,’ one Muslim prisoner was forced to drink motor oil, and the urine of two other prisoners while, later, those same two other prisoners were forced to bite off the first prisoner's testicles. —At another camp, prisoners were beaten so severely that facial bones caved in, making the persons unrecognizable. —A prisoner had his ears cut off, and while grabbing at his head, his genitals were also cut off. —A 12 year old girl was repeatedly raped while her father was forced to watch at knifepoint. —Prisoners have been buried alive, had teeth pulled with pliers, and have been thrown intobonfires. These accounts could go on and on. More's the pity that humankind has once again demonstrated that our so-called civilization is just one thin-skinned veneer away from the savagery of the Dark Ages. The brutal horrors now being revealed in newly independent Bosnia and Herzegovina come to us in living and dying color. —Pictures of emaciated prisoners at death camps. —Eyewitness accounts of the systematic raping of thousands of women. —Children being fed bread upon which insecticide has been poured so they could be laughed at as they died horribly. And while all of this is receiving short shrift in favor of pathetic children who'll be dead in six months anyway, these atrocities are being done in the name of ‘ethnic cleansing.’ Now where have we heard that term before? Oh perhaps it was heard using different words. Does the term “final solution” jog your memory? As race baiters Al Sharpton and his ilk have realized, having access to the media is the most important weapon any group can have in seeking to promote its point of view. For ‘example, with’ ‘the unspeakable atrocities being revealed daily in Bosnia, the world can finally see that Germany and its people do not have a lock on the ability to be inhuman...to, for example, impose a “final solution” as was carried out in the attempt to eliminate Jews during World War II. Of course, the systematic slaying of Jews by the Germans in World War II was a human tragedy on a monstrous scale; but it has also been true that better press agents have always made the aptly named and jusitfiably infamous “holocaust” a household world, when other nations and other peoples have also suffered at the hands of human monsters; i.e., the current events in Bosnia and Europe's gypsies were also systematically slain by Hitler during World War II, but their numbers were comparatively small, and they had no media voice. Therefore, the world ‘holocaust’ has become a household word, and other genocides have fallen by the awareness roadside...as will the one in Bosnia if we fail to see its face in favor of already dead children. Ee Can you identify these people? The Old Photo this week is a real guess who, guess when, and guess why? All we know is the banner on the drums say College Misericordia. Are they Nuns? students? teachers? Or is a band brought in? Let’s see if anyone at College Misericordia, or the Sisters of Mercy or anyone out there can ID even one person on this photo. We challenge you to help us on this one. Any ideas on what year it was taken?
