Residents who decided not to evacuate a small Texas city directly in the path of Hurricane Harvey have been told to write their names and social security numbers on their arms so their bodies can be identified. Patrick Rios, a senior city councillor in Rockport, told residents on Friday to evacuate and warned those who stayed that they should make arrangements so their corpses could be identified. “All the advice we can give is get out. Get out now,” said Mr Rios. “Those that are going to stay, it’s unfortunate but they should make some type of preparations. Mark their arm with a Sharpie pen. Put their Social Security number on it and their name.” He added that rescue workers would not be able to come to their aid once the storm, the largest to hit the US since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, slammed into the Texas coast. “We’ve got first responders available, but once it gets bad, we are not going to put their lives in jeopardy. They will not get help we will not be dispatching folks that decided to stay,” said Mr Rios, who is also mayor pro tempore of the city. Thousands of people across southeast Texas evacuated in the face of the storm. Others chose to stay in their homes despite warnings from the government.

Authorities said it was too early to assess the damage but there were no immediate reports of deaths. The roof of a nursing home in the city collapsed and a number of retirees were moved to a local county jail for treatment and safety, according to local media.

"People are trapped inside at least one collapsed building. We can't get rescue teams to them right now,” said Kevin Carruth, the city manager.

A high school, hotel, senior housing complex and other buildings suffered structural damage, according to emergency officials and local media. Some were being used as shelters. The city is home to around 10,000 people and is close to the city of Corpus Christi, one of America’s major oil refinery hubs. http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/texans-told-to-write-their-names-on.html?m=1 |
DOUALA, CAMEROON — Suspected Boko Haram militants sprayed a village in remote Cameroon with automatic fire, killing 15 people and kidnapping eight others in an overnight raid near the Nigerian border, several officials said on Friday. The attackers burned down around 30 houses in Gakara village, just outside the town of Kolofata, which has been a frequent target of suicide bombings by the Islamist group. A government source on the ground said that 15 people had been killed, all shot dead except one who was burned alive, while another 30 had suffered bullet wounds. The mayor of Kolofata and a senior military source confirmed that an attack had taken place but did not know the death toll. Boko Haram attacks have killed more than 20,000 people and displaced 2.7 million during the group's eight-year insurgency to carve out an Islamic caliphate in the Lake Chad region. "The attack happened around midnight. The Boko Haram assailants arrived. They set 32 houses on fire ... killed, pillaged, and traumatized the population," said a district official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak. Many people fled the village for a camp near Kolofata that houses thousands displaced by Boko Haram violence, he said. . http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/suspected-boko-haram-militants-kill-15.html?m=1 |
The country’s education department published a list detailing hundreds of illnesses and conditions that prevent people from entering the teaching field. But turns out most of these relate to a teachers’ appearances. For example, anyone who is cross-eyed, has ugly facial moles or skin conditions such as acne or eczema face redundancy. Having a scar or a fungal infection was also on the list. Other rules that would usually be unnoticeable such as female infertility, cancer, bladder stones, or colour blindness are also included. The list went viral after it was published by the FARS news agency which pointed out that prospective teachers spend more time undergoing medical tests than they do on training. MORE: Man ‘fathers 102 children after ignoring rules and donating sperm at 11 clinics’ Social media users have attacked the rules, calling them discriminatory and a clear violation of human rights. They said that if implemented in full, people like Stephen Hawking would be prevented from teaching students in Iran. An adviser to the President has since promised that the list would be investigated. Since the backlash, an education spokesperson told the Tehran-based Etemad newspaper that rules specifically targeting women would be removed and the rest of the list reviewed. http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/iran-bans-ugly-teachers-from-classroom.html?m=1

Simthembile* crosses the highway which divides the rural area of eSigodlweni into two sides. On his way home from school, he was careful to walk in a group because they have been told to watch out for “ama-zimu zimu”, cannibals. Dlabantu (the one who eats people), is the name this community has given to the man who walked into the Estcourt police station last Friday, produced a part of a human leg and a hand, and declared he was tired of eating human flesh . The name is on everyone’s lips: at the spaza and as neighbours talk over wire fences, the shock of a cannibal among them has the community engrossed. “We must stop walking around at night, man, some people see us as walking meat,” said a young man to another outside a tavern. After changing out of his school uniform and eating what his maternal grandmother, Winnie Magubane, has prepared, Simthembile is oblivious to the whispers as he starts the less than five-minute walk to his paternal grandmother, Ntombifuthi Sithole’s house, where he hopes to get a second lunch. He is carefree and smiles at strangers, even though his grandmothers have not stopped crying since the suspected cannibals were arrested. One of the men expected to apply for bail on Monday, Lungisani Magubane, is Simthembile’s maternal uncle. He and four others, including one man arrested on Wednesday, are also believed to have dug up the grave of Mongezi Mkhize, Simthembile’s father, and they allegedly ground up his bones for use in muti. “They (the Magubane family) know my heartache. Mongezi was shot by his own brother. I hurt so much for both my children that I wanted to die myself. He would have been resting six years on December 23 but these people have gone and dug up his bones. I wanted to forget. I wanted my heart to stop being sore, now I don’t even know where his bones are,” said Sithole. Weeping through blind eyes, gogo Sithole feels for the hem of her pinafore to wipe away her tears. On the other side of the highway, gogo Magubane does the same, but because of the ibovu (red soil) used as a makeshift sunscreen, the hem of her pinafore turns orange. “Lungisani was a good boy, a quiet child who never got into any trouble. His twin, Mlungiseni, is the outspoken one, he doesn’t even want us to talk about his brother being jailed for this thing.” Lungisani, 30, had brought Nino Mbatha, 32, the man who confessed to police , to their home in June. He asked that his brother, Philani, let Mbatha stay in one of the rooms in his rental property, a stone’s throw away from the Magubane household. “I told him to tell the man to come back the next day but when we woke up in the morning, we found the man had slept in Lungisani’s room at home.” Philani chastised his brother for letting a stranger, an inyanga (traditional healer) sleep over and was forced to accommodate him at the rental property. He paid rent only once, and when Philani went to ask for the R300 monthly rent, Mbatha said Philani was the one who must pay him. “I was so angry, but kept my cool because I didn’t know what he was going to do, we had already started hearing about his use of muti,” Philani said. Lungisani and his friends, some of whom were also arrested, never left Mbatha’s side. Philani learned later that this was because he promised them riches and claimed to be the son of former Nquthu mayor and renowned traditional healer Sosobala Mbatha. He said during one ceremony, Nino had slaughtered chickens and let them bleed out over toy trucks, telling them they would get money by the truckloads. His brother and the others who hung around Nino were convinced, pointing out the cars they would buy once they were rich. “Lungisani would not even listen to reason,” Philani said. “How could this man, who did not even have a place to stay, make them rich when he had nothing?” Gogo Magubane said she could not fathom why her son would get involved in such darkness. “I felt uneasy about this man from the time he came to my house. Lungisani changed after that.” She said that when his 3-year-old daughter had done something naughty, he would threaten to use her body parts for muti, then laugh it off as a joke. They are afraid that if Lungisani gets bail and comes home, the people they have lived with for generations will turn on the family. “We talk about him as if he is dead. I am hurt, not angry at him because I know my son, he would never do such a thing if he was himself, but it is done and he must accept what is coming to him,” she said. The mud house in which the men allegedly cooked and ate human flesh is locked up, the key taken away by police. Black plastic bags are taped on to the windows. One cannot see inside, even through the spaces where the tape has come undone, because blankets are hung over each window. On the other side of the highway, Mkhize’s grave is wide open. The mounds of dug up earth have buried the rocks used around the grave to mark it. The logs used to secure his body are the only sign that the freshly dug up grave is in fact old and used. Six years ago, when she buried her son, Sithole was supported by the Magubane family. She took comfort in knowing that Simthembile’s father was resting in peace at the corner of this small cemetery at the foot of a hill which marks the end of eSigodlweni. The highway continues beyond this hill, eventually reaching Ladysmith, where Lungisani and his co-accused are believed to be held. “I do not blame Simthembile’s grandmother because we do not send our children to do harm. If I could see, I would go to her so we can comfort each other.” So far, gogo Magubane has been too afraid to cross the highway and face gogo Sithole. * Not his real name http://fawoleblog..co.ke/2017/08/cannibalism-people-see-us-as-walking.html?m=1 |

During the hacking attack, weev and I were unable to contact our server host in Mongolia, as Mongolian people are lazy. So we had to do this the old fashioned way, and wrestle control back from Anonymous using traditional hacking methods. At one point during the attack, weev and I were literally both typing on the same keyboard, and we bruteforce outwitted the Jewish Anonymous hackers. It was literally like that scene from NCIS that everyone makes fun of. I want to thank the Nigerian government for their help in literally flying weev into my base in Lagos in a helicopter. These brave Nigerians performed a feat that is illegal even in Nigeria and landed a military helicopter on the roof of my apartment building to get weev to me as fast as possible. They also illegally entered both Turkish and Israeli airspace. Nigerian military helicopter (FILE PHOTO) Here’s the flightpath of the Nig-Chopper (Nigerian Military term, not mine): weev’s flightpath to help me stop Anonymous hackers. According to weev, Sudanese rebels shot a shoulder-launcher rocket at them when they entered rebel air space, but I think he’s trolling me. Whether that’s true or not, this is definitely true: the Nigerian military is the real hero today, who saved this site. I also want to thank directly Muhammadu Buhari, the President of Nigeria, who authorized this operation. Muhammadu Buhari And that’s something that people who are calling me a hater need to think long and hard about. If I am really a hater, then how did I make such good contact with the Nigerian government that they were willing to illegally violate Israeli airspace and risk getting shot down by Jews in order to get my website back online? The fact of the matter is: I don’t hate anyone. The only thing that I want – that any of us want – is to keep our own countries ours and not be replaced by an invading army of nonwhite immigrants. Period. The actual haters are the people who hate whites. The people who say that we as a race have to be wiped out. That while Africans get to keep Africa, Asians get to keep Asia and Arabs get to keep the Middle East (except for the parts the Jews stole), we are not allowed to keep our own countries. We’re not allowed to keep any country in Europe, we’re not allowed to keep America. Everywhere, we are being flooded and overrun and told we have no right to exist. That is the real hate. These people are committing a genocide against us while they want to hunt us down for making jokes on the internet and claiming we have a right to exist. Well. We’re not going to take it lying down. Death or glory. Hail Victory. https://www.dailystormer.com/anglin-here-ive-retaken-control-of-the-site-the-daily-stormer-never-dies/

The bodies of a Swiss couple have been discovered frozen in the Alps – 75 years after they went missing. In August 1942, Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin vanished on the way to feed their cows in a field near the village of Chandolin, south-west Switzerland . Their bodies were discovered by a ski resort worker last week on the shrinking Tsanfleuron glacier . It is thought that melting ice exposed the remains decades after the couple disappeared in the middle of the Second World War. Mr and Ms Dumoulin had seven children – five sons and two daughters – who were separated and placed with different families after their parents went missing. “We spent our whole lives looking for them without stopping,” their youngest daughter, Marceline Udry-Dumoulin, who was just four when her parents disappeared, told Le Matin . “We didn’t think we would be able to give them the funeral they deserved. “I must say that after 75 years of waiting, this news calms me deeply.” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/swiss-couple-bodies-alps-glacier-missing-75-years-disappeared-francine-marcelin-dumoulin-switzerland-a7847416.html
