Strange .... Several people are making asylum claims on the basis of persecution by the Ogboni cult. There appears to be two organisations with this name The Reformed Ogboni Fraternity and the secret Ogboni cult. The ROF seems to be a social and charitable ogranisation and there is almost no reliable information on the Ogboni cult. There are accusations of forced membership, cannibalism and ritual killing of animals and people. The facial scars are real, and people seem genuinely frightened. I'm doing some searches on asylumlaw.org but have not come up with solid information yet. 2003-04-08

Sunday was lovely ... on my bike, in the mountains. Even though the trees have not yet come into leaf, the whins were a blaze of gold. The mist had just lifted and the lough shimmers in the sunlight. I met a large handsome hare, bouncing across the track. The bike is so silent we almost collided before he noticed I was there. Then he is off, running at quarter speed, just to show me who is king of the mountain around here. I'd forgotten just how lovely the mountains of Ireland can be. I'm sorry you lost your baby.... and, by the way, your rent allowance is stopped as you are no longer pregnant. Are these officials human or does something in the official air deaden the soul? 'All the atrocities of the democracy heaped together ever since the world began would not equal, if we had any gauge by which to measure them, the atrocities perpetrated in a week upon the poor, simply because they are poor; and the marvel rather is, not that there is every now and then a September massacre at which all the world shrieks, but that such horrors are so infrequent.'
