tinfoilhat Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 There is plenty of western intervention in Nigeria but its character is economic, corrupt and possibly paramilitary in nature, rather than all-out military intervention. A quick search of "Shell Nigeria corruption abuse" should give you hours of reading on the subject. It doesn't of course follow that this is what is driving Boko Haram but I think we need to ask ourselves if it's a contributing factor. Certainly corruption in the Nigerian government and the siphoning off of funds seems to be holding the military back in its operations against Boko Haram, and corruption in Nigeria is never far away from oil, e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/mar/05/the-oil-deal-the-disgraced-minister-and-800m-paid-via-a-uk-bank But the west is and has been screwing Africa over since the year dot. A Nigerian (of whatever religion) running amok would make more sense than a Muslim born in Kent doing what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) its amazing what you can find online that you never knew about. somebody on another site just posted this piccie so i did a search on the guy as i'd never heard of him, which lead me to this In 1947 in the aftermath of the Exodus incident, he led a Stern Gang plot to bomb London in protest.[3] Korff traveled to Paris and offered a member of the United States Air Force, Reginald Gilbert, money to fly the plane that would bomb London. Gilbert accepted Korff's offer, and then took the matter to French police.[7] Korff was then arrested. In protest of his arrest, he held a hunger strike[8] which lasted 17 days until he was released by officials.[3] Korff fell into a coma and was treated in a hospital, but all charges were dropped against him.[3] Korff was also part of Menachem Begin's underground movement in the 1948 Palestine war. so people related to israel and the US were once implicated in a terrorist plot to blow up London (as they are the enemy), funnily enough i bet this guys not as derided as Mandela, Mcguiness etc for once being a terrorist and then became a leader. Former Lehi leader Yitzhak Shamir became Prime Minister of Israel in 1983. Oo Edited March 28, 2017 by melthebell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Does anyone know which bridge in Sheffield is being used today? Police officers and hundreds of members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association are among those expected to join together on Westminster Bridge to mark the attack. The Metropolitan Police Federation said people planned to link hands across the bridge from the south to the north at 14:40 - the time the attack began. Similar events are also being staged on bridges in Sheffield, Birmingham, Leeds, Leicester and Manchester. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39428569 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacktari Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Why should rank and file Muslims have to separate themselves out from the rest of society to show their disgust at this mans actions? This kind of thing is all too reminiscent of the actions in 1930's Germany, when a section of people were blamed for all the country's ills. Further to this, a very high proportion of people who voted to leave the EU were doing so as a tacit vote against Muslims, whipped up by all the false propaganda about invading hordes massing in Europe. Suspicion and division is what the hidden forces at work in this country, and indeed throughout the world, thrive on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''false propaganda about invading hordes massing in Europe'' Its estimated that 1million plus people ended up in Germany alone ! Didn't you see any news in the summer of 2015 ?
