She says a few words in a language he doesn’t know, then, very quietly, ‘Are we in love?’
She licks her lips. He can see her skein twitching at her collarbone, a living worm. He moves faster. He is faintly aware that there are other people watching them from the rooftop across the road, people pointing and calling out. There’s not much they can do from there. Maybe video it. How much good will that do him? He tries standing again, but his legs are still trembling from the aftershocks, and she laughs when she sees him try. She lunges for him. He tries to kick her in the face with his shoe but she grabs the exposed ankle and gets him again. A long, high arc. It feels like a meat cleaver wielded in a solid and practised stroke all down his thigh and calf, separating the flesh from the bone. He can smell the hair on his legs burning.
There is a scent like spices, something wafting up from the street. Roasting meat and the smoke of dripping animal fats and burned bones. He thinks of his mother, reaching into the pot to test the grains of parboiled rice between her fingertips. Too hot for you, Tunde, get your hands away. He can smell the sweet, hot aroma of the jollof rice bubbling on the stove. Your brain is jangled, Tunde. Remember what they say about this. Your mind is made of meat and electrics. This thing hurts more than it should because it short-circuits your brain. You are confused. You are not at home. Your mother will not come.
She has him on the ground now; she is wrestling with his belt and his jeans. She’s trying to pull them down without undoing the buckle, and they’re too tight to come over his hips. His back is scraping on the gravel; he can feel the edge of a wet concrete block in the small of his back, rubbing him raw, and he keeps thinking if I fight her off too hard she’ll knock me unconscious, and then she can do whatever she wants.
There is shouting now from far off. As if he were underwater, his ears clogged. At first he thinks he is hearing the shouting from the street. He is ready for another shock; his body is tensed for it. And it is only when the shock does not come, when he realizes he is fighting with the air, that he opens his eyes and sees that three other women have pulled her off him. They must have crossed on the plank bridge from the building next door. They have thrown her down and they are shocking her time and again, but she will not lie still. Tunde pulls his trousers back up and waits, watching, until that woman with her long, thick oiled plait has stopped moving altogether.

Major, major MAJOR news out of South Carolina. Look at the photos. Here’s one of Mother Eve – it’s a screengrab from the vid ‘Towards Love’, the one where her hood slips back a bit and you can see part of her face. See how the jaw is sort of pointed, and the relationship between the mouth and the nose, compared to the bottom of the mouth to the chin. On the diagram I’ve calculated the ratios.
Now look at this photo. Someone on UrbanDox’s forum has put up photos from a police investigation four years ago in Alabama. All signs are it’s totally legit. Might have come from someone who wants justice, might have come from the police. Anyway. It’s photos of an ‘Alison Montgomery-Taylor’, who murdered her adoptive father and was never found. It’s very clear. The shape of the jaw is the same, the chin is the same, the ratio between the mouth and the nose and the mouth and the chin is the same. Just look and tell me that’s not convincing.

Fuuuuuuuuuck. You’ve discovered that all human beings have mouths and noses and chins. That is going to blow the field of anthropology wide open there, fag.

These photos have very clearly been doctored. Look at the way that the light is shining in the picture of Alison M-T. Hits her cheek on the left-hand side and her chin on the right-hand side? Someone has Piltdown-man-ed these pix to make your numbers add up. I call shenanigans.

It’s well known that it is Alison M-T. This has been reported to the police in Florida before, but she’s got them paid off. They’ve been extorting money and threatening people all down the eastern seaboard. Eve and her nuns have joined up with fucking Jewish organized crime, this has been proven by UrbanDox and UltraD, check the threads on the May 11 riots and arrests in Raleigh before double-posting this bullshit, dickwad.

UrbanDox’s account was suspended for abuse, dickwad.
Abrahamic
Yeah, I notice that every single fucking post you’ve made has been supporting UrbanDox, or two known sock-puppets. You’re either UD yourself or you’re sucking his dick right now.

There’s no way this wasn’t her. The Israeli government is the one funding these new ‘churches’; they’ve been trying to bring down Christianity for centuries now, discrediting us, using the blacks to poison the inner cities with drugs. This new drug is just part of that; you know the new ‘churches’ are distributing these Zionist drugs to our kids? Wake up, sheeple. This whole thing is already sewn up by the same old powers and systems. You think you’re free because you can talk on a messageboard? Don’t you think they’re monitoring what we say here? Don’t you think they know who each of us is? They don’t mind us talking here, but if any of us ever seemed like we were about to act, they’ve got enough on each of us to destroy us.

Don’t feed the trolls.

Fucking conspiracy theory nutjobs.

Not 100% wrong. Why do you think they’re not cracking down harder on illegal downloading of movies? Why do you think they’re not doing a search-and-block on porn sites, torrent sites? It’d be frickin easy, anyone on here could code it up in an afternoon. You know why? Because if they need to take any of us out, send us to jail for a million years, they’ve got the power to do it. That’s what the whole internet is, man, fucking honey trap, and you think you’re safe because you’re using some pzit-ass proxy, or bouncing the signal through Bilhorod or Kherson? The NSA’s got deals sewn up with those people, they’ve paid off the police, they’re in the servers.

Mod here. This board is not the place for discussion of net security. Suggest you take this post over to /security.

It is relevant here. Did any of you see the BB97 vid from Moldova? Taken by our government in the USA, monitoring Awadi-Atif’s troop movements. You think they can see that and they can’t see us?
