The Gatton Murders

The Gatton Murders is the name given to a never-solved homicide that occurred near the town of Gatton, Queensland on 26 December 1898.

The crime
The victims, all members of the Murphy family, were found the following day in a field two kilometres from the town by their brother-in-law, who had set out to look for them after they had failed to return from a dance the previous evening. 29-year old Michael Murphy and his younger sisters Norah, 27, and Ellen, 18, had been bashed to death. Both women had also been sexually molested. From the evidence gathered at the scene, it was learned that Norah Murphy was taken aside and raped, then bashed to death. Michael had most possibly already been shot and bashed by then. Ellen was similarly murdered. After their deaths, their corpses were re-arranged so their legs crossed over their bodies with the feet pointing west. This signature behaviour has never been repeated in Australian crime and, like the Gatton Murders themselves, remains a mystery to this day.

Suspects
Several people, including itinerant workers and family members, came under suspicion for the crime, but after a five month investigation, no one was ever charged with the murders. The failure of the Queensland police to solve the crime led to accusations of cover-ups and rumours of incest within the Murphy family; these claims were also subsequently never resolved.

Aftermath
The crime caused shock and outrage across the country and the ineffective investigation, which released several possible suspects without comprehensive interrogation, later became the subject of a Royal Commission. Several modern writers, including Blue Mountains-based author Merv Lilley, have suggested possible culprits. Lilley claims his father William was a violent sadist and sexual pervert who could well have been in the Gatton area at the time of the murders.

Possible Theory
One theory is that Louise Theuerkauf, Catherine Byrne were enlisted to perform an abortion on one of the girls, most probably Norah.

This is supported by: The seemingly voluntary entry of the trio into the paddock. The two girls Theuerkauf and Byrne said they heard screams at about 10:00pm. (Too early and they were too far away. Maybe an alibi) The finger nail scratches are an indication of a female presence as most farmers and butcher's helpers would keep their nails short. The neatly laid blanket. The blood and scratches on Norah’s thighs. Blood went through the blanket. (Too much blood for rape). Why were no gags used on the others. (They were willing parties until things went wrong and were killed so needed no gag but Norah had to be kept quiet for the operation ergo the strap). The hames strap around her neck to stifle any screams. The weakly tied knots. (Meant to hold not harm). The lack of signs of a struggle. The newspaper clipping of the memoriam notice of the death of the girl Cook (who it appears died from complications resulting from an abortion) found near the scene. (To emphasise the risk she was taking). The Lunney letters probably on hospital letterhead. (To show they knew what they were doing). Why Michael had so much money with him (To pay for the procedure). (1shilling equals about $17.00 in today’s money.) Why Michael and Ellen being found some distance away from the blanket. Norah’s reluctance to attend the dance (Second thoughts). The piece of Agricultural college paper used as a pipe stop. (Could it be used as a bottle stop for some ether stolen from the college or bought from the chemist).

The extra handkerchief found near the scene. (Used for applying ether). Anaesthetic overdose depresses the central nervous system causing deep anaesthesia, leading to respiratory and cardiac arrest. The lookout the man at the sliprails (Thomas Day or one of the girls in disguise) mainly being spotted by women. Polly Murphy taking a lot of convincing not to fess up. (Guilt feelings or maybe even the reward).

Galbraith went to the hotel and saw the bodies had been undressed and washed. He asked for the clothes and the water in which they had been washed: but he found the latter had been thrown out. (Why did he want to examine the water)? It seems odd that all the major players from the police force that appeared to bungle the Gatton murder investigation were all promoted.

It must be remembered that this period of time that pastoralist led government looked like losing the upcoming election to the nearly formed Labour group. It would not do the government cause no good to jail a number of Irish (and perhaps other) people for organising a botched abortion. Much better to cover up. Even though it made the police and the Government look bad. As abortion was considered a major sin the duo (or trio) may have been under orders from the family that if things went badly the trio was to be shot.

Fireworks on a Sunday night would have been a major event and you would think Clarke being a businessman would have invited the whole of the district. Maybe a cover for gunshots.

The reluctance of the Murphy’s to help with the investigation and give evidence also points to this collusion and Dan Murphy Sen. asking how they were killed were they shot? Seemingly as if he knew.

It becomes increasingly clear to me that almost the whole of the district (excluding Arrell, who may have guessed later) and the investigating police knew of the abortion attempt.

With the ensuing murder due to an overdose of anaesthetic. The blows delivered and shots fired to make sure of death and cover up the real cause of death. (Overdose).
Day was made the scapegoat and was never vigorously pursued, in order to vindicate the good people of Gatton. In a small close knit community it is impossible to believe that a triple murder could go unsolved for any length of time, and the perpetrators left unpunished.

Meet the human goat

This is a shocking picture of the human-like creature born from a goat in central Zimbabwe.

Defying science, the dead human-like being survived for several hours after birth on Sunday but died later as shocked villagers gathered in rural Maboleni, 40 miles out of the Midlands town of Gweru, to witness the “miracle”.

The creature, which was incinerated by superstitious villagers before it could be taken for lab tests, had what looks like a human head, face, nose, mouth, neck and shoulders but also had goat legs and a tail. It also had human-like skin and back.
Midlands Governor Jason Machaya claimed on Wednesday that the bizarre creature was a product of bestiality. He declared: “An adult human being was responsible.”
But experts say it is impossible for a human being to have sex with an animal and produce an offspring of any kind.

Inter-breeding humans with closely allied species like chimpanzees, gorillas and gibbons has been attempted with no results, experts say.

There are few known species that can interbreed and produce offspring of varying degrees of fertility, including horses and donkeys which produce mules which are infertile. Bison and cattle produce beefalos while lions and tigers produce ligers – both infertile.

The Midlands’ Provincial Veterinary Officer Dr Thomas Sibanda, while regretting that they never got the chance to conduct tests on the bizarre creature, said: “As far as I know, it is not scientifically possible for a man to impregnate a beast unless of course it’s a miracle.

“Inter-breeding is so hard that a sheep and a goat can mate but they will never produce any product out of it.”

Locals now fear that the creature was a product of witchcraft, but Dr Sibanda still wants to give science a chance. He said: “It is common that an animal can be born with the hydrocephalus condition, a condition that causes an animal to have an abnormally big head full of water. This condition can cause the normal positions of the chin, nose and ears to shift.

“We could have confirmed that the creature was a goat if we had seen it since we are experts in animals. To confirm whether it was a human being, you need medical doctors.”

Snake with Leg

Snake with Leg and Clawed Foot Found in China

Not how I'd want to be awakened:

"Dean Qiongxiu, 66, said she discovered the reptile clinging to the wall of her bedroom with its talons in the middle of the night. 'I woke up and heard a strange scratching sound. I turned on the light and saw this monster working its way along the wall using his claw,' said Mrs Duan of Suining, southwest China."

It's apparently a mutation and not some kind of new, undiscovered, stuff-of-nightmares species (or Photoshop creation, though I'm suspicious). Still, I think it'd be 'lights on' for a few weeks after that experience.

Panama alien

Panama: youngsters claim to have killed an alien
The discovery of a strange creature in Cerro Azul, Panama, sparked controversy among the people, for what some say might be a creature from another planet, others simply believe that it si just an animal.
Two young men were having fun on the hill when they saw at the entrance of a cave a creature that was approaching them. They were frightened and stoned it to death.
Panama’s Channel 13 showed images of a strange creature that appeared last weekend in Cerro Azul, east of Panama City, and that alarmed local residents.
According to Telemetro, polemic unleashed between those who believe it is an animal and those who think it’s an extraterrestrial creature.
No authority said anything about the find.
Telemetro said four children, aged between 15 and 16 , saw the “thing” out of the water fall of Cerro Azul and stoned it to death, afraid of being attacked.

Twin Town 2

See previous Article from March: Mystery of the Land of the Twins

Twin town: The Indian village where there are 220 sets of twins has doctors baffled
Baffled doctors are trying to unravel the mystery of an Indian village boasting more than 220 sets of twins born to just 2,000 families.

Experts who have visited the remote tropical village of Kodinhi, in Kerala, have been left scratching their heads over the phenomenon that has seen almost six times as many twins born than the global average.

In 2008 alone 15 pairs of twins were born in the village out of 300 healthy deliveries and this year is expected to top that number.
In the last five years alone up to 60 pairs of twins have been born - with the rate of twins increasing year-on-year.

Local doctor and twin enthusiast Dr Krishnan Sribiju has been studying the medical marvel of Kodinhi for the past two years.

Although 220 sets of twins have been officially registered in the village Dr Sribiju believes the real number to be far higher.

'In my medical opinion there are around 300 to 350 twins within the village boundaries of Kodinhi,' he said.

'What is fascinating is the increasing numbers of twins with each passing year, so much so that I feel in the past ten years the number of twins in Kodinhi has doubled.'

According to villagers, the twin phenomenon only started occurring three generations ago. Dr Sribiju can barely contain his excitement discussing the possible scientific implications of the village.

'To the best of my knowledge this medical marvel began somewhere between 60 to 70 years ago.

'Without access to detailed biochemical analysis equipment I cannot say for certain what the reason for the twinning is, but I feel that it is something to do with what the villagers eat and drink.

'If that is the case then maybe whatever is causing this exceptional level of twinning can be bottled and provide help for infertile couples.' Categorising the twin phenomenon as a naturally occurring anomaly, Dr Sribiju has ruled out genetic factors as the cause due to the localised nature of the village.

He also dismisses any suggestion that the unusual level of twins could be caused by an unknown pollutant pointing to the high number of healthy twins born without any deformities.

'There are lots of reasons for twins, but let me explain the underlying uniqueness of Kodinhi,' said Dr Sribiju, 40.

'The number of twins per thousand here is around 45 per 1,000 births.

'Indian, and by that I mean Asian, people on the sub-continent have the lowest acknowledged incidences of twinning in the world at around four per thousand.

'In addition, there is no IVF treatment here because of the prohibitive cost. Global rates of twins being born, especially in the western world, have increased because of artificial insemination.
'Also, twins are born usually to older, more mature women. In Kodinhi that is not the case because marriage happens much younger here at around 18-20 years old and families begin very soon after.

'Another factor that bucks the trend is that twins occur in women who are generally over 5ft 3in in height. The height of women in Kodinhi is around 5ft on average.'

The residents of Kodinhi, which is in the lush state of Kerala in the south of India, have even taken to calling their home 'twin town' and have gone as far as to set up the Twins and Kin Association (TAKA).

'TAKA has been set up to register and provide support for the twins of Kodinhi and their families,' said Puallani Bhaskaran, 50, the association's president and the proud father of twin boys.

'Understandably for such a significant minority in the community we feel that it is only sensible to club together to make sure that there is a focal point for the twins of Kodinhi to come to.
'Twins are financially a strain and also they are medically complicated for mothers to bear.
'TAKA can educate and support the villagers because here we have so many more twins than elsewhere.'

Counting more than 220 pairs of twins ranging from 65 years to one month as registered members - with another 30 applications pending - TAKA's total membership exceeds 600 when parents are included.

'I began planning for this association in July 2008 and formalised it in December of last year,' said Mr Bhaskaran.

'The twins of Kodinhi should be united so that they can find out why they are here.' However, for the twins of Kodinhi, life is lived with double takes and stares which eventually become common place.

'When I was at primary school I attended with around 30-40 other twins,' said Anu Bhaskaran, 16, who is the son of TAKA's president.

'It feels special to be part of something so unique, but the most satisfying thing about being a twin is tricking your friends and teachers,' said his brother Abhi.

With the majority of twins in Kodinhi being of the identical kind and the fact that a large percentage are under the age of twenty, the potential for mischief is enormous.
'We always find the teachers mix us up,' said five-year-old Shahala, who attends the local primary school in Kodinhi.

'Sometimes when we are feeling naughty we try and swap classes to confuse people,' said sister Shahana.

Citing the immense scientific implications should Kodinhi's secret be discovered, Dr Sribiju is currently trying to assemble the research support he needs to delve deeper into the twin town of Kodinhi.

Race Specific Viruses

Is Swine Flu A Race-Specific Virus?

Posted by inthesenewtimes on April 30, 2009
First death in U.S. is Mexican toddler, prompting questions about why only hispanics have died despite outbreak spreading to at least ten countries
Paul Joseph Watson

29th April 2009
The first swine flu death in the United States has been confirmed, but the victim is a Mexican toddler who caught the illness in Mexico before traveling to Texas. Serious questions must now be asked about why a virus that has spread across at least 10 countries and is suspected in many others has only killed hispanics, and whether a race-specific bio-weapon is being beta-tested.
Scientists are still baffled as to the contrast between the lethality of the virus in Mexico compared to the rest of the world. Despite the virus being confirmed in the United States, Canada, the UK, Spain, New Zealand, Germany, Costa Rica, and Austria, with probable cases also occurring in France, South Korea and Slovakia, the virus has killed only Mexicans.
We are also told that the virus which sickened students at a school in Queens is the same strain as the one found in Mexico.

How can it be that the only fatalities are Mexican hispanics nearly a week into the outbreak?
Race-specific viruses can occur naturally, but this is a rare phenomenon. Is the swine flu virus a synthetically manufactured race-specific bio-weapon being beta-tested in preparation for more deadly pandemics in the future?

The U.S. military-industrial complex’s interest in race-specific bio-weapons as a tool of warfare is not a paranoid conspiracy theory – it’s outlined in their own public documents.
“Advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool,” stated the September 2000 Rebuilding America’s Defenses report released by the Project For A New American Century – the ideological framework of the Bush administration.

In 2006, Armed Forces Journal, a mouthpiece for the military-industrial complex, carried a military strategy plan written by retired Major Ralph Peters which called for “ethnic cleansing” to be instituted in the Middle East so that the region could easily be dominated by the joint interests of Israel and the United States.

As far back as 1998, Wired Magazine, citing the London Times, carried a report detailing the fact that Israel was already readying race-specific weapons for this very purpose.

“Israel is reportedly developing a biological weapon that would harm Arabs while leaving Jews unaffected, according to a report in London’s Sunday Times,” stated the article.

“The report, citing Israeli military and western intelligence sources, says that scientists are trying to identify distinctive genes carried by Arabs to create a genetically modified bacterium or virus.”

Wikipedia – that bastion of credibility – claims that the story was debunked but fails to provide conclusive evidence.

Strong speculation that recently constructed bio-defense facilities in the United States are being used to conduct with race-specific bio-weapons has also come from credible sources.

A 1999 UK Sunday Herald piece highlighted a report by the British Medical Association which concluded that race-specific bio-weapons would be ready within 5 years, “enabling governments to target victims solely on their genetic make-up.”

“Genetic weapons capable of wiping out specific ethnic groups are no longer the stuff of science fiction, military and scientific advisers with the British and American governments have admitted,” states the report.

“Professor Vivienne Nathanson, head of the BMA’s health policy research, said: “Biological weapons had limited use due to the shortcoming of being unspecific in targeting. “However, genetic targeting is now possible. Probably in the next five to 10 years we will see the manufacture of relatively specific biological weapons which are lethal in small volumes.”
The article explains how FBI crime labs have stumbled across genetic markers specific to blacks, whites, hispanics and native Americans during routine work. The same markers have been discovered in Palestinians, setting them apart from Israelis.

“If you add together a number of different markers for different populations you can start to be specific to a target population,” states Nathanson.

Lest we forget the innumerable instances where pioneering eugenicists and members of the global elite have publicly called for the earth’s population to be reduced to “sustainable” levels.
Perhaps the most infamous example of this is Prince Philip, the husband of the Queen of England, who has repeatedly expressed his desire to return to earth as a “particularly deadly virus” to “cull” the surplus human population.

As Alex Jones documents in his seminal documentary End Game, this mind set is endemic amongst the elite.

So having established the fact that race-specific bio-weapons have already been produced and are ready for use, and having confirmed that the elite have repeatedly expressed a desire to use them, it’s necessary to ask whether or not hispanics are being targeted by the swine flu outbreak as a beta-test of these weapons.

Since the common flu virus does kill people every year, a handful of non-hispanic deaths attributed to swine flu will not disprove this hypothesis, which will remain a possibility unless we see a significant number of fatalities of non-hispanics.
