UK NEWS Gang chanted �Lee Rigby� as they kicked
soldier in Exeter underpass
The soldier was attacked in an Exeter underpass by a gang who chanted 'Lee Rigby' as they
kicked him on the floor
A SOLDIER was attacked in an Exeter underpass by a gang who chanted �Lee Rigby� as they
kicked him on the floor.
The 18-year-old, known as Alexander, has been a member of the Coldstream Guards for six
months.
But on route to his home in St Thomas, Exeter, he said he was targeted by the hateful mob
as he is a serving member of the armed forces.
After a period of about two minutes he managed to escape after fighting off but fear his
injuries could have been a lot worse.
The incident happened at just before 2pm on Wednesday afternoon.
He said: �I was walking home from the train station at Exeter Central and got to the ruins
at Exe bridges. As I went into the underpass a group of lads
walked past me.
�They stopped and asked if I was in the forces.
I replied yes and before I could say why, fists were coming towards my face.
�I was knocked to the floor and then carried on kicking me for what felt like a couple
�I crawled up in a ball but couldn�t get up.
One was trying to get a screwdriver out of his pocket.
I managed to get it off him and fight him off.
�They were all covered up so I couldn�t see any of their faces.
They kept shouting Lee Rigby � like they wanted to re-create what happened.�
After managing to escape and run off Alex was left with a split lip, sore ribs and a
swollen jaw. H was treated at the NHS Walk in Centre
He said: �I have only been in the army six months but this is the first time anything
like this has happened. I was very shaken up by it but am starting
to get to grips with what happened.�
Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident.
A spokesman said: �The victim has described the main offender as mixed race with camouflage
clothing, six foot five inches tall, heavy build, wearing a black tracksuit top and had
his face covered.
�He was accompanied by seven others. Anyone who witnessed anything in the area
at the time or knows who is responsible should contact police on 101 quoting reference number
DE/13/7080.�
Daniel Pelka�s mother and stepfather jailed for at least 30 years.
The headline says enough as Mrs Justice ***, the judge in the case, said she had not observed
a single sign of remorse from Magdelena Luczak and Mariusz Krezolek who subjected the youngster
to months of harrowing abuse. W@8 comments �Poor little Daniel but surely
his school should have done something? This case is very similar but much more highly
reported than the Muslim woman who starved her small daughter to death and fed her salt
as well. What is wrong with these people?
Daniel�s father is back in Poland and said he would have taken him back if asked, but
he shouldn�t have left him with this woman in the first place.
He has remarried and seems happy but at what cost?
Both the accused should be deported back to Poland to serve their sentence not in the
UK.
Ten men charged with *** exploitation of teens
Ten men accused of sexually exploiting teenage girls have been charged with offences including
***, *** assault and trafficking, police said Friday.
The suspects aged between 19 and 30 were charged Thursday following an investigation into alleged
abuse in Coventry, West Midlands Police said. The men are all accused of exploiting at least
five "vulnerable, local girls" between May and September last year, a spokesman for the
force said. The girls were all aged between 16 and 18
at the time of the alleged attacks.
Brothers Gulfraz Banaris, 20, and Ifaraz Banaris, 25, from Wood End, and Izthkhab Banaris, 24,
from Coventry, were charged with conspiracy to traffick girls for the purposes of ***
exploitation. Gulfraz and Izthkhab were also both accused
of ***. All three appeared before Coventry magistrates
on Thursday and were remanded in custody to appear at Coventry Crown Court on November
7. Two other brothers, Isa Iqbal, 21, and Ismail
Iqbal, 20, both of no fixed address, also face trafficking charges and will appear in
court in November.
Ricardo Hinkson, 23, from Radford, Amir Mahmood, 27, and Tasveer Hussain, 30, both from Foleshill,
were all due to appear at Coventry Magistrates Court Friday charged with conspiracy to traffick
for the purposes of *** exploitation. Saleem Hussain, 30, from, Coventry, and Khezer
Hussain, 25, Stechford, were also due to appear, charged with *** assault and *** respectively.
Police said the five alleged victims were being supported by specially trained police
officers and staff from Coventry City Council Children's Services.
W@8 comments �You heard it from me years ago, that this is usually a family affair
and all these cases are bearing it out, there are at least one set of brothers or family
members always involved in this type of grooming � let�s hope this lot get what they deserve
although I doubt it � they after all have Human Rights don�t they?�.
Finally Asian Footballer Jailed After Racist Tirade Against Match Referee
An Asian amateur footballer has been sent to prison for subjecting a referee to a 20-minute
racist rant as he was being sent off. Wasar Ahmed, 23, told Ian Fraser: �I�m
going to break every white bone in your white face.�
As other players and spectators looked on in shock, Ahmed raged: �I�m going to burn
your white house down and kill your wife and kids � I know where you live.
I�m going to come and find your house.�
After the game finished, Ahmed stood near to Mr Fraser�s car and stared at him as
he got in. He was arrested soon after when the referee,
who has 30 years� experience in officiating at matches, went to a police station and made
a formal complaint to officers and the East Lancashire Football League.
Mr Fraser, 48, told police he had �never known anything like it before, felt intimidated
and was left extremely shocked.� He said he feared further trouble because
of the threats.
W@8 says �If it had been white on black racial abuse someone in the crowd or one of
the players would have reported it and vidoed it then and there!
Thank God Mr Fraser did it although living in Lancashire he is right to be afraid, be
very afraid! This shows exactly what most if not all Muslims
think of us � they view us as cattle and nothing more whilst biting the hand that so
often feeds them�. Who is the greater fool?
Arrested Man Whose Mosque BOOM Tatoo Incites Racial Hatred
A man who allegedly revealed his tattoo of a mosque being blown up at an English Defence
League rally in Birmingham has been arrested. Sean Reah, of South Shields, South Tyneside,
has been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred.
The 39-year-old was reportedly recently pictured lifting up his T-shirt to reveal an image
of a Muslim place of worship with �BOOM!� displayed across it.
The picture was taken during a demonstration organised by the English Defence League in
Birmingham city centre on Saturday, July 20. A spokesman for West Midlands police said:
�A 39-year-old man has been arrested in South Tyneside on behalf of West Midlands
Police on suspicion of using words or behaviour, or displaying written material with intent
to stir up racial hatred.� The image sparked outrage after it was posted
online. It was taken at a demonstration in Birmingham,
according to The Sun, where police made 20 arrests after officers came under attack on
Saturday. A 20-year-old woman has been charged with
violent disorder and was due to appear in court earlier this week.
A W@8 writer has commented: �If this guy has to lift his T shirt to expose this tattoo
it is hardly in the public eye is it? Even if it was is this any worse than the
hate preachers and the awful bin bagged women who hold badly written racial and religious
slurs to be seen by the public? Get real this is a witchunt � if a Muslim
had the same thing about a Church the Police would look the other way.
Bad judgement goes both ways.�
Bank of England Helped Reichsbank Sell Its Nazi Gold
Tyler Durden writing for Zero Hedge says �We previously showed hard evidence of the Bank
of England�s complicit hiding of the truth about the quality of Bundesbank gold stored
in the Fed�s vaults. A few weeks later in a �completely unrelated�
action, the Bundesbank dramatically shifted its recent stance, and demanded that its gold
be repatriated into its own vaults (and we now know the impact that has had on the paper-physical
paper markets).
However, in yet another one of the �darkest episodes in central banking history� the
FT reports, the Bank of England facilitated the sale of gold that was looted by the Nazis
after their invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938.
Of course, judging today�s central bankers by this ethical (and potentially criminal)
behaviour of over 70 years ago is unfair but it is notable that the pattern of whatever-it-takes
and at-all-costs decisions, coupled with pervasive opacity and stark unaccountability, appear
to have been formed a long time ago.�
W@8 says �Yes much like the US taking the brightest and best of the Nazi elite into
their country to work for them � there is no difference.
�Get over it!

French deemed 'too lazy' for Swiss recruiters.
Swiss recruitment firms are shunning French candidates because they are deemed "too lazy"
and "arrogant" and have a penchant for ringing in sick on Mondays and Fridays, according
to reports in a Swiss newspaper this week. The French have come under the cosh for their
work ethic in recent months. In February,�outspoken American CEO Maurice
Taylor accused French factory workers�of spending most of their time at work talking
and now it is the turn of the Swiss to cast aspersions on how hard the French work.
This week, a Swiss paper provoked headlines and more soul searching in France by claiming
recruitment firms in the country are shunning the French because they are perceived to be
too �lazy and arrogant�. Le Matin Dimanche�reported that Swiss recruitment
firms are including the requirement �Swiss or resident in Switzerland� in job adverts
to avoid being inundated by French applicants.
Germany: Oil Under Brandenburg �Could Deliver Billions�
Currently best known for not very much, the north German state of Brandenburg could soon
be catapulted into an economic boom � a drilling firm reckons there are 92 million
tonnes of oil there and plans to start drilling in four years.
The economically depressed former east German state could benefit by nearly �7 billion
euros, according to Central European Petroleum (CEP), which intends to start drilling in
the Lausitz area, the Tagesspiegel newspaper reported on Thursday.
A German-Canadian consortium, CEP has found what it called deposits of �European significance�
at two sites between L�bben and Lieberose in the Dahme-Spreewald region.
It launched its plans to get the oil on Wednesday in Potsdam.
Thomas Schr�ter, CEO of the consortium said drilling could start in 2017, and could bring
up at least 15 percent of what is there over the coming 30 to 50 years.
This would be around 10 million tonnes of oil.
�It is of best quality, sweet and low in sulphur,� he said of the oil.
�It is no Persian Gulf, but despite that it is an absolute hit.�
Currently around 2.5 million tonnes of oil are drilled in Germany each year, largely
in Lower Saxony and off the Schleswig-Holstein coast, the paper said.
And before reunification, drilling for oil was being carried out in Brandenburg.
But this was dropped when East Germany ceased to exist.
W@8 states �If the Commies had known about this there would be no united Germany now
� roll over Saudi and OPEC�
EU Robin Hood Ethos
Well our Nick Griffin MEP is taking a holiday so today instead of a Belly of the Beast clever
and informative report on the EU, you are getting me and the Mozar speak on the Beast
itself and the way in which the Robin Hood ethos is spreading out from the EU and contaminating
all our lives.
You may wonder how the EU influences this country and why it holds such a strong place
in our governments and establishments? All the while the media is telling us that
most of the rules and regulations which we or rather successive governments by the way
happily adopt � impinge on the British way of life and culture that has done us very
well in past history � whilst not hitting on the basic fact that most of these laws
are not brought into power with the UK in mind � the EU operates for Europe not for
Britain in any sense of the word, unless it is taking money from us, giving us laws which
either do us no good or are actually harmful to our economy and of course sending us their
poor and afflicted remnants from parts of Europe hitherto uncared for and ignored by
the rest of that landmass.
It is chilling in its �rightness� is that the EU the Beast is established in Belgium,
that country that has no proper function apart from chocolate and that is really the remit
of the Swiss. Belgium and the Belgians are neither French,
Dutch or German but appear to be going the whole hog on being Islamic!
The only Belgian person I know is a family member although she wishes she wasn�t.
She speaks 7 languages, loves multiculturalism and making money.
Hates nationalism in any form and doesn�t want children.
Alias a true child of modern Europe! A walking talking working barren machine much
like the European Parliament- full of promise at the beginning but never delivering very
much at all!
This is what Tryst46 had to comment on about the EU: The EEC is what the people of this
country agreed to in the referendum, not the EU.
The EEC was simply a mutual trade agreement and had nothing to do with governance.
Contract law in this county states that, if you change the conditions of a contract, it
must be agreed to and signed again. We agreed and signed up to the EEC via the
referendum, they then changed the conditions of the contract and the EEC became the EU,
but we were never asked to agree to sign the new contract.
On those grounds, any contractual ties to the EU are null and void by law.
The government have committed an illegal act by allowing the EU to control this country
contrary to the wishes of the people. In effect, this country is not actually a
member of the EU.
He or she might well have a point there, as successive governments have lauded and accommodated
various and many illegal EU rulings. I voted for the EEC mainly for trade not to
have my country overrun with strangers and even stranger rules and laws.
This also could be why UKIP was invented and funded by the establishment because it would
be a thorn in the side of rising nationalism whilst at the same time doing absolutely nothing
within the EU but treat it as a cash cow � it is not for nothing that the pound sign is
the emblem of UKIP, they might as well have Shylock with his pound of flesh on their rosettes
overlaid with the EU flag.
William Hague (Mr Foetus is my nickname for him) has made an interesting point, it couldn�t
really be enforced which of course is the whole point.
I quote: The EU needs a "red card" system for national parliaments to block laws passed
in Brussels if they think EU officials are going too far, the UK foreign secretary William
Hague said in a speech in a meeting held in Berlin in May this year.
As with the yellow card system, this proposal would require a minimum number of national
parliaments to agree in order to take effect, so a single government would not be able to
ignore directives it disagreed with. Mats Persson, of the Open Europe think-tank,
said "Allowing national parliaments to block unwanted EU law would go a long way to bring
back democratic accountability over EU decisions."
Take Human Rights and as far as I am concerned you can!
The Human Rights act does not exist because most of the people it is applied to are only
human owing to the fact of having 2 arms, 2 legs, walking fairly upright and not being
covered in hair. If being human is them then that says a lot
for animals. We in this country did not have to adopt this
act into our laws, in fact there are many EU laws which we could just reject and ignore
� we pay our money we should be able to take our choice, but no and this is where
the Robin Hood peoples mentality kicks in, virtual mob rule by proxy!
The Human Rights Act 1998 (c 42) is an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom which
received Royal Assent on 9 November 1998, and mostly came into force on 2 October 2000.[1]
Its aim is to "give further effect" in UK law to the rights contained in the Convention
for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, but more commonly known as the European
Convention on Human Rights. The Act makes available in UK courts a remedy
for breach of a Convention right, without the need to go to the European Court of Human
Rights in Strasbourg. However, if it is not possible to interpret
an Act of Parliament so as to make it compatible with the Convention, the judges are not allowed
to override it. All they can do is issue a declaration of
incompatibility. This declaration does not affect the validity
of the Act of Parliament: in that way, the Human Rights Act seeks to maintain the principle
of Parliamentary sovereignty (see: Constitution of the United Kingdom).
However, judges may strike down secondary legislation, so long as the legislation does
not derive its power from primary legislation. Under the Act, individuals retain the right
to sue in the Strasbourg court.
All in all once taken on board there is nothing you can do about this Act and it�s web.
Remember that we British do not have the Human Rights Act on our side, we cannot plead that
we are indigenous to this country because the EU has declared that we are a nation of
immigrants and no one in the UK can claim their indigenous human rights as well as can
newcomers from their own lands claim equal or �more than equal� rights over us and
our laws once they are on UK soil.
Which brings us to a case which is typical of the ECHR stranglehold within the UK.
Police Won�t Hand Stolen Caravan Back to Couple to Protect Human Rights of the Travellers
Living in it
A couple whose �30,000 caravan was stolen have been told a traveller family now living
in it cannot be removed because it would breach their human rights.
Kathleen McClelland and her partner Michael Curry spent their life savings on the top-of-the-range
camper and were devastated when it vanished from the secure site where they kept it.
When police eventually found the 26ft-long Bailey Louisiana caravan 18 months later,
its owners were told a traveller couple and their two young children were living in it
only ten miles from their home in Surrey. Their initial relief turned to outrage, however,
when the police said they had �no lawful powers� to get it back.
They were told their only option was to begin costly civil proceedings against the family,
which they say they cannot afford. Mrs McClelland and Mr Curry had spent �10,000
improving the �20,000 caravan, including putting in a widescreen TV.
They bought the vehicle on hire purchase � and still have to make monthly payments of �250
for the next two years.
Hospital ward clerk Mrs McClelland, 68, said: �Why should we have to pay for someone else
to live in our brand new caravan? That was for our pleasure in our older years.
�The police said that removing the family would breach their human rights and that they
would have to be rehoused before it could be seized.
We spent all our retirement money on that caravan because we thought it would last us
a lifetime. We�re absolutely devastated.
It seems as though no one cares about our human rights.
�I�ve worked all my life and saved up, surely I have the right to enjoy my retirement?
When that caravan was stolen, our right to a happy retirement was stolen.�
The couple, who live in a semi-detached home in Tongham, Surrey, were in between insurance
policies at the time of the theft in 2011 so were not covered for a payout.
In an apologetic letter, PC Karen East of Hampshire Constabulary told them the matter
was out of the force�s hands. It read: �Unfortunately it has transpired
that we have no lawful power to recover the caravan.
It will be the responsibility of you as the owner to start civil proceedings against the
current occupier.� The letter added: �I sincerely apologise
for this decision and I am sure that you feel the onus has been put back to you but my hands
have been tied due to police powers.� Mr Curry, 53, who gave up his job as an HGV
driver after being diagnosed with diabetes, said the police refused to reveal the caravan�s
exact location.
This is disgusting but there are many stories similar or worse in which the actual criminals
cannot be moved, arrested or prosecuted because of their Human Rights not the rights of the
people who have been robbed, ***, beaten or murdered.
The EU have taken away our rights for perpetuity. It is Human Rights that gave the murderers
of Charlene Downes money for their trauma not a peerage for her mother!
It is the human rights of terrorists and hateful strangers in our midst that overtakes the
so called rights of you, the British people. The law is not on our side at all!
Once you tie the hands of the judicial system in a country and reduce its armed forces you
get a totalitarian state.
In the real world, this couple should be able to legally evict these travellers, regardless
of their human rights, regardless of their ethnicity or religion , they are in receipt
of stolen goods and that is not legal in any country.
Take a case from the 70�s in the US, Alabama. There were 1,700 used cars sold to Alabama
residents through legitimate dealers discovered to have been stolen from the northern states
by gangs. Federal agents seized the cars and returned
them to their rightful owners in the north. The Alabama residents had no recourse as they
had purchased stolen property which is a crime! Obviously one which the Human Rights act condones
as the EU condones illegal migrants, camping in or out of stolen homes or land, raping
and grooming children of the host country, murdering and beating the inhabitants of that
country � all of which have no Human Rights themselves.
In short bring the dogs and heavies in and get them out, much like the squatters in private
property, much like the Romas who camp and *** everywhere in fact where there are humans
who do not deserve the rights that other humans have worked hard to obtain.
Human Rights like Citizenship should be earned not taken!
Put this with the Robin Hood mentality of many of the people, the take from the rich
and give to the poor nonsense, you have true communism not democracy and the EU is a communist
regime by any other name.
It even has its own army, yes it does! On looking up this fact all I could get was
this Wikipedia text. On 20 Feb 2009 the European Parliament voted
yes to create "SAFE" (Synchronised Armed Forces Europe) as a first step towards a true European
military force. SAFE will be directed by an EU directorate,
with its own training standards and operational doctrine.
There are also plans to create an EU "Council of Defence Ministers" and "a European statute
for soldiers within the framework of Safe governing training standards, operational
doctrine and freedom of operational action".[1]
But I did receive another fact that they are operating in Greece at the moment and they
are armed. It is an old posting BY�GOLEM XIV�ON�OCTOBER
14, 2011
Did you know that the EU has its own riot police that can operate in any European country
but is answerable directly to none of them? No I didn�t either.
They are called the European Gendarmerie Force (Eurogendfor) .
They are based in Italy but funded and staffed by six signatory nations�who are France,
Italy, Holland, Spain, Portugal and Romania. However,�according to the Treaty�which
established Eurogendfor they can operate in any EU country and are available to others
who invite them to do so. The country which invites them in is refered
to as the �Host�. The Gendarmerie are specifically set up to
deal with riots and civil unrest and as the treaty spells out they are to be �exclusively
comprising elements of police forces with military status.
There is a picture of the force. How many police forces or even riot police
do you know who drill with bayonet? The force is 3000 strong based in Italy composed
of two rapid deployment brigades. Since Greece is not a member of Eurogendfor
few if any of its troops/officers(?) will speak Greek.
Yet they may �now be operating in Greece. I have checked with friends in Athens and
they tell me it is true. Now it is alleged that a non-Greek militarized
riot force may have arrived to enforce austerity. Whose bidding would they really be doing?
Whose interests would �they be serving? Could it be the banks?
Of course this is not how Eurogendfor is set up.
I know that. But is this how it actually works nevertheless?
There are also several web pages devoted to the increased military spend to solve the
EU debt crisis which is the nearest I can get to whether they are actually in Greece
or not. Regardless the EU is on the move to consolidate
its money and has formed a force named S.A.F.E perhaps to control the countries that do or
do not provide it with funds!
The attitude of a majority of our own people impedes the march of true nationalism in this
country and the ridding of the EU, the Robin Hood debacle.
The �peoples people� brigade. Wake up there is no such thing any more than
there was a �peoples princess�, bless poor old Diana that was a media ploy and a
very clever one. There are few real �working class� people
left, the backbone of England as they truly were are now calling themselves middle class
and sport fair sized houses, holidays, cars and most if not all still send their kids
to state comprehensives. Now I have been rich and poor, I have had
struggles like the so called working class mums, that doesn�t make me a heroine it
makes me just human. True I haven�t worked down a mine but then
neither have a vast majority of Brits. There is no taking from the rich and giving
to the poor now, there is just a vast army of idiots both foreign and domestic who think
that by stealing, occupying and taking over other peoples hard earned property they are
�giving to the poor�. No they are taking from the average guy and
keeping it themselves. And they are ably aided by the EU Human Rights
Act.
We have foreigners in this country who think nothing of taking advantage of anything and
everything going and if not legal they will take it illegally and still not be touched
by the law. It is down to us, the normal man and woman
in this country to impose our own laws if the right laws are not being imposed for us.
The sooner we leave the EU the better, although of course the Belgian thinks we would �not
last a year� if we came out, but consider the source of that statement.
We would last, it would be hard but we would be forced to become more independent and return
our country to the once great industrial and self sufficient farming state it was.
Remember Britain was great when it had a preponderance of British people in it and no interference
from Europe. We at least could hold our heads up and say
that mistakes we made were ours and not some strangers.
Which would you rather have? It�s in your hands now.

Iran state TV: Rohani's comments on Israel removal were distorted
Iranian state television said on Friday reports quoting Iran's president-elect Hassan Rohani
as calling Israel a "wound that ...needs to be removed" were distorted.
"News agencies distort Iran pres-elect Rohani's remarks on Quds Day," said a breaking news
caption on Press TV.
Earlier on Friday, Iranian news agencies reported that cleric Rohani - who will be inaugurated
on Sunday - had described the Zionist regime as "a wound that has sat on the body of the
Muslim world for years and needs to be removed."
The quote by Press TV was later corrected to: �After all, in our region, there's been
a wound for years on the body of the Muslim world under the shadow of the occupation of
the holy land of Palestine and the beloved [city of] al-Quds."
Rohani won a landslide victory in Iran's June 14 presidential election.
He replaces Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday.

Egypt army 'restoring democracy', says John Kerry
US Secretary of State John Kerry has said Egypt's military was "restoring democracy"
when it ousted elected President Mohammed Morsi last month.
Mr Kerry said the removal was at the request of "millions and millions of people".
His remarks came as police prepare to disperse two pro-Morsi sit-ins in the capital, Cairo.
Egypt's interior ministry has promised Mr Morsi's supporters "safe exit" if they quickly
leave the camps. The country's cabinet on Wednesday ordered
police to end the protests, calling them a "national security threat".
'Asked to intervene' Washington has refused to describe Mr Morsi's removal as a "coup".
Doing so would require the US government to cut off its estimated $1.5bn (�1bn) in annual
aid to Egypt.
Correspondents say Mr Kerry's latest comments will be seen in Egypt as supportive of the
interim government. In an television interview in Pakistan, Mr
Kerry said: "The military was asked to intervene by millions and millions of people, all of
whom were afraid of a descendance into chaos, into violence.
"And the military did not take over, to the best of our judgement - so far.
To run the country, there's a civilian government. In effect, they were restoring democracy."
W@8 �Well excuse me! As much as I disliked Morsi and the Brotherhood,
he was at least elected. The Egyptian army and you Mr Kerry were not.�
And finally to finish on a high note a joke.......and please note I am mocking the afflicted here................................
This maybe an old joke but it is the old ones that are the best.
There was a Preacher doing the rounds in the deep South, his metier was brimstone and Hell
the coming of. However at one of his meetings he decided
the power of the Lord had entered him and he could heal the sick.
He called on those in his congregation who were �afflicted� to come forward � after
a short wait a man came forward with a terrible hare lip and cleft palate which had been clearly
left untreated. The Preacher looked at him and said so my
brother you are afflicted? Yesh replied the man and the Preacher said
and I see you have an affliction of the mouth, Yesh I do said the man.
Well my brother said the preacher, go behind the screen up on the stage and I and the Lord
will heal you. So the man walked behind the screen.
At that moment an awful shuffling and scraping was heard, and from the audience lurched a
man who could barely walk, his back and legs were twisted and the only things holding him
up were his crutches � the Preacher was filled with pity and asked him if he wanted
to be cured? The man gesticulated because he had lost the
power of speech as well. The Preacher told him to go behind the screen
with the other afflicted man and wait.
There followed a spate of preaching and exhortations to the Lord to heal both these men.
The Preacher called on God and Jesus to place their hands on his poor brothers and take
away their afflictions. Oh Yes echoed the congregation, Oh Yes Praise
the Lord! Praise him!
After the prayers and exhortations had finished and the congregation had calmed down the Preacher
called out to the worst afflicted man � throw away your right crutch brother, and there
was a clatter from the screen, throw away your left crutch brother, thence another clatter,
then an awful crash was heard � the Preacher called oh my brother are you cured, has the
Lord thy God come unto you? Has he taken away your crippled legs and straightened
your twisted back? After a slight scuffle behind the screen a
voice was heard, No Preesher, Hesh fallen over!
You have been listening to the W@8. I am Lynne Mozar and I and the team at W@8
