Secret Service investigating alleged threat by D.C. police officer against Michelle Obama



First lady Michelle Obama speaks to supporters during a campaign event for her husband, President Barack Obama …A Washington, D.C. police officer has been removed from his unit and placed on leave over remarks he allegedly made about first lady Michelle Obama — but the Secret Service is downplaying the controversy.
The Washington Post reports the officer who worked as a motorcycle escort for White House officials "allegedly said he would shoot the First Lady and then used his phone to retrieve a picture of the firearm he said he would use."
The motorman reportedly made the comments Wednesday morning as several officers from the Special Operations Division discussed threats against the Obamas.
Officials familiar with the situation say that it was a bad joke made by someone who should have known better, according to msnbc.com.
"Pump the brakes on this one," a Secret Service official told NBC, saying the agency is not concerned that the remark made by the officer constitutes any kind of actual threat.
"We're aware of it and taking the appropriate steps," said an official for the Secret Service told msnbc.com.

Cannibal Cult Killed Seven Evil Sorcerers, Used Their Penises to Make Soup

Papua New Guinea – 29 members of a militant group seeking revenge against rogue witch doctors were arrested by police in Papua New Guinea and charged with killing at least seven people. In addition to murdering the “evil sorcerers,” it is believed the cannibal cult also consumed portions of their victims’ brains and other organs, and prepared soup from their penises in an effort to become bulletproof. The anti-sorcerer group, which is believed to have as many as 1,000 active participants, was organized after witch doctors, who traditionally charge 1000 kina ($472), a pig, and a bag of rice to determine a cause of death or ward off evil spirits, began demanding sex as well. Many residents of Papua New Guinea believe natural causes are not sufficient to explain misfortune, illness, accidents, or death, but it conflicts with traditional ethics “for a sorcerer to have intercourse with a man’s wife or teenage daughter,” a local cult leader is quoted as saying.

I THOUGHT MY WIFE WAS PREGNANT FOR ME UNTIL ALEKWU ARRESTED HER IN LABOUR

Alekwu (or spirits of the ancestors) is greatly feared in Idomaland. It forces witches, ‘ritualists’, murderers, adulterous wives and men who pay for abortions to either die mysteriously or confess their evil. The rules are endless…but the aim is simple: live righteously. Find out how it ‘forced’ a confession out of a woman who was wicked enough to be sleeping with another man on her matrimonial bed.         My name is Samson and I hail from Otukpa in Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State. The story I am about to share with you is one that shook my whole life to the very foundation. It is very easy to forgive others the wrongs done us. However, to forget is another thing that is often demanded of us but almost impossible.   Even though I am still in my early 30s, it is important to say that I have become a very wise man in understanding women. The love they give, the pain and misery they are capable of causing us and the chameleon in them. A wo...

STRANGE MEETING: HOW A PROSTITUTES-PATRONIZING SON MET HIS MOTHER IN A BROTHEL AS HIS ‘WOMAN FOR THE NIGHT’.

Asuquo had always loved and adored his mother.  Since his father was killed by armed robbers many years ago, she had provided for him and his siblings.  They went to a good school and their school fees were paid as at when due. Asuquo, the first child of three children and now 18, was taught from a very young age, to protect his siblings, Rose and Abel.  He recalls an incident that led to their transfer from their first school. He was sent on an errand to the Staff Room by his English language teacher and had to pass through Abel’s class.  Peeping through one of the open windows, he saw Abel crying as he struggled to balanced his tired legs in an awkward position.  Asuquo knew the punishment.  It was called ‘Smoke a Cigarette’.   The offender was required to stand on one foot while passing his hand through the second leg, hung in the air.  The fingers would be stretched to the mouth to imitate a smoker.  Everyone knew how painful ...
