Was Sensi Momoh's brother a member of an opposing faction in the civil war? No. The driving force behind this savagery is not politics, and this was not an isolated case. The driving force is an ancient African belief system that posits that by eating certain human body parts the cannibal may gain in power and strength.
Many of the refugees from the war, now in camps outside Monrovia and accessible to the few Western journalists still remaining, described similar acts of cannibalism, which are believed to confer supernatural powers upon the bloody feasters. A woman related how she had seen young soldiers of Alhaji GV Kromah's "United Liberation Movement" cut out the heart and testicles of five young boys and eat them. While this was taking place Kromah himself sat as a member of the Council of State in Monrovia, put there by Western peacemakers trying to reform Liberia's bloody ways.

Liberia may be an extreme example, but parallels in Rwanda, Kenya, Rhodesia, Angola, Katanga, and pre-colonial Africa abound. Absolute autocracy is the only way that African societies have been able to maintain a measure of order and peace. The slightest vacuum of authority results in chaos.

It is also interesting to note that across Central Africa the eating of ape meat is commonplace. The Africans indulging in this practice believe that consuming the ape will endow them with the strength and cunning of the beast. This is clearly a variant on the beliefs of the cannibals, and may be a relict of cannibalistic practices which have been at least partially suppressed. It is hard to imagine that the similarity to cannibalism is lost on the participants.

The vice president of the Wildlife Conservation Society, John Robinson, is worried that the practice of killing and eating apes is so prevalent that extinction is a real possibility. He stated, "Except in locales where the hunting is light, the exploitation of most species is not sustainable."

The World Society for the Protection of Animals launched a large ad campaign beginning in 1990 to protect these animals and discourage the killing and eating of them at ritual feasts. The result was no change in the African's beliefs or eating habits, but there were charges of "cultural insensitivity" from the more dedicated equalitarians.

Foolish indeed are those who think that Western money or "ideals" will have any lasting effect on the African manner of political succession or spiritual beliefs. And even more foolish are those who think that we can become one genetically with the African without becoming like him intellectually, morally, spiritually, and politically as well.

WASHINGTON, DC -- The most recent crime statistics, as you may have heard trumpeted in the media, indicate small decreases in violent crime over the last few years. Despite this, of course, crime is tremendously greater today than it was before the Third World invasion of America and the so-called "civil rights" revolution. And I have a healthy skepticism about these reports of decreasing crime, and I'll tell you why after we review some of the statistics: Overall crime has diminished slightly, but some crime levels have exploded. Currently there is one violent crime every 17 seconds; one property crime every 3 seconds; one murder every 23 minutes; one forcible rape every 5 minutes; one robbery every 51 seconds; one aggravated assault every 28 seconds; one burglary every 12 seconds; one larceny every 4 seconds; and one motor vehicle theft every 20 seconds.
In the next thirty minutes six more women will be raped.

According to the Department of Justice: In 1960 there were 160 violent crimes for every 100,000 Americans.

In 1994 there were 715 violent crimes for every 100,000 Americans.

They also say that since 1990 violent and property crime have declined by respectively by 2.2 and 8.5 percent.

Now those are fascinating figures; but I think that crime in non-White areas is vastly understated in the statistics for several reasons.

In some of these areas the crime situation is so bad, crimes are so omnipresent and so routine, that only a fraction are reported. Secondly, of those reported some are "lost in the shuffle" of paperwork because of an inefficient and/or vastly understaffed and overworked police force who must make the time to deal with "priority situations" and let the rest slide. Even many of the reported and recorded crimes are not really investigated, and never show up in arrest or conviction statistics. Remember that these conditions exist mainly in heavily non-White areas, so the huge difference between Whites and non-Whites in their propensity for crime is probably considerably understated.

I worked for many years in the occupied Washington, DC, area. My work took me often into the areas where the tour buses (and sometimes even the U.S. Mail) won't go. I have personal knowledge of what such urban hells are like.
