^^Yawn... European "role models" also engage in extensive cannibalism as shown below, while hypocritically condemning so-called "primitive peoples" for the same. Is it a cultural European thing? I heard they think it gives them powers... why do they think that?

If true, the European market for human body parts must have created a very high demand & price for "exotic & ancient" mummy parts, in digs that likely had become major harvest site; such as the Egyptian pharaoh tombs.
Perhaps this explains why so few actual pharaoh mummies have being displayed, and so much doubt exists to those being presented as authentic.
The actual ancient mummies aren't there because they have already all been sold and consumed!

In a case with echoes of the Fritzl family horror in Austria, Ondrej Mauerova was partially skinned in the closet in a cellar at his home in Kurim near Brno, in the Czech Republic, according to reports.
The abuse – involving members of a religious cult – was uncovered by chance last May when a neighbour's television baby monitor picked up graphic pictures of what was happening next door.
Ondrej and his nine-year-old brother Jakub were locked and chained in the cellar for months by their mother Klara, 31 – a member of a group called the Grail Movement.
He was caged, beaten and gagged to stop him screaming, according to reports.
Mauerova had the monitor installed so that she could watch the abuse from her kitchen but the images were picked up by a neighbour who used an identical system to monitor a newborn baby, the regional court in Brno has heard.
Police were called and the two boys as well as what appeared to be a 13-year-old girl were freed.
But the girl later turned out to have been one of the alleged abusers, 34-year-old Barbora Skrlova.
She subsequently fled to Norway before being brought back to the Czech Republic earlier this year.
Mauerova has admitted abusing her children but she said she had been manipulated by Skrlova and her own sister Katerina.
The accused are Klara Mauerova, her sister Katerina, 34; Barbora Skrlova, 33; her brother Jan Skrla and a friend Jan Turek

Cannibals and Crusaders
Jay Rubenstein
During the First Crusade (1095–99) the Franks cannibalized the Muslim dead at the city of Ma`arra. More than a dozen narrative sources describe this act, but with significant differences in detail. Through an examination of the different accounts and of the probable historical, biblical, and literary models used to shape them, this article suggests that cannibalism was in part a product of necessity but also that the crusaders used it as a tool of psychological warfare. Their status as God's warriors and their project of holy war both justified and inspired such tactics. The article thus questions the direction of current scholarship, which sees the First Crusade as a result of ordinary medieval practices of warfare and piety, rather than as an unprecedented event as disconcerting to medieval sensibilities as to modern ones.
Chewing on early European cannibalism
A pile of cannibalized human remains has been excavated in Germany, according to Wired. Around 5,000 years ago:
“Human sacrifice at Herxheim is a hypothesis that’s difficult to prove right now, but we have evidence that several hundred people were eaten over a brief period,” Boulestin says. Skeletal markings indicate that human bodies were butchered in the same way as animals.
Read on for the gruesome details of food/neighbor preparation.
What a splendidly Gothic tale! It draws on the deep, ancient fear of cannibalism (fears of other people, and of our own flesh). The story also suggests a darker background for European history (cue the first Eucharist jokes). Even the town has a chewy name: Herxheim.
And this last filip is quite literary:
Whatever actually happened at Herxheim, facial bones were smashed beyond recognition, “giving an impression of the destruction of individual identity, a kind of psychic violence against the person,” Thorpe says.
Naturally, this Euro-long pig analysis is a controversial interpretation of the archaeological evidence. An alternate view offers a more conventional, if still conventionally Gothic, take:
In a joint statement to Science News, Jörg Orschiedt of the University of Leipzig in Germany and Miriam Haidle of Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum in Frankfurt say that Boulestin’s evidence better fits a scenario in which the dead were reburied at Herxheim following dismemberment and removal of flesh from bones. Evidence of ceremonial reburial practices has been reported for many ancient societies.
Europe's 'Medicinal Cannibalism'
The Healing Power of Death
By Philip Bethge
Were Europeans once cannibals? Research shows that up until the end of the 18th century, medicine routinely included stomach-churning ingredients like human flesh and blood.
According to the recipe, the meat was to be cut into small pieces or slices, sprinkled with "myrrh and at least a little bit of aloe" and then soaked in spirits of wine for a few days.
A blindfolded man kneels and prays moments before he is beheaded circa 1550.
Finally, it was to be hung up "in a very dry and shady place." In the end, the recipe notes, it would be "similar to smoke-cured meat" and would be without "any stench."
Johann Schröder, a German pharmacologist, wrote these words in the 17th century. But the meat to which he was referring was not cured ham or beef tenderloin. The instructions specifically called for the "cadaver of a reddish man ... of around 24 years old," who had been "dead of a violent death but not an illness" and then laid out "exposed to the moon rays for one day and one night" with, he noted, "a clear sky."
In 16th- and 17th-century Europe, recipes for remedies like this, which provided instructions on how to process human bodies, were almost as common as the use of herbs, roots and bark. Medical historian Richard Sugg of Britain's Durham University, who is currently writing a book on the subject says that cadaver parts and blood were standard fare, available in every pharmacy. He even describes supply bottlenecks from the glory days of "medicinal cannibalism." Sugg is convinced that avid cannibalism was not only found within the New World, but also in Europe.
In fact, there are countless sources that describe the morbid practices of early European healers. The Romans drank the blood of gladiators as a remedy against epilepsy. But it was not until the Renaissance that the use of cadaver parts in medicine became more commonplace. At first, powders made from shredded Egyptian mummies were sold as an "elixir of life," says Sugg. In the early 17th century, healers turned their attention to the mortal remains of people who had been executed or even the corpses of beggars and lepers.
Paracelsus, the German-Swiss physician, was one of the most vehement proponents of body-stripping, which eventually gained popularity at even the highest levels of society. British King Charles II paid 6,000 pounds for a recipe to distill human skull. The regent applied the resulting distillate, which entered the history of medicine as "the king's drops," almost daily.
Scholars and noblemen, as well as ordinary people, swore by the healing powers of death. US anthropologist Beth Conklin, for example, quoting a 19th-century source, writes that in Denmark epileptics were reported to stand around the scaffold in crowds, cup in hand, ready to drink the red blood as it flows from the still quavering body. Skulls were used as medicine, as was the moss that tended to sprout from them. It was believed to staunch bleeding.
Human fat was supposed to alleviate rheumatism and arthritis, while a paste made from corpses was believed to help against contusions. Sugg even attributes religious significance to human flesh. For some Protestants, he writes, it served as a sort of substitute for the Eucharist, or the tasting of the body of Christ in Holy Communion. Some monks even cooked "a marmalade of sorts" from the blood of the dead.
"It was about the intrinsic vitality of the human organism," says the historian. The assumption was that all organisms have a predetermined life span. If a body died in an unnatural way, the remainder of that person's life could be harvested, as it were -- hence the preference for the executed.
The practice was not always a success. In 1492, when Pope Innocent VIII was on his deathbed, his doctors bled three boys and had the pope drink their blood. The boys died, and so did the pope.
Was all of this cannibalism? Sugg has no doubt that it was. Like the cannibals of the New World, the Europeans were fundamentally interested in the consumption of vital energy. For anthropologist Conklin, the European form of cannibalism is especially remarkable. Outside Europe, she notes, the person who was eating almost always had a relationship with the person who was eaten. Europe's cannibalism, on the other hand, was "distinctly asocial," Conklin writes, adding that human body parts were treated as merchandise: bought and sold for a profit.
By the end of the 18th century, however, the appeal had worn off. "With the Enlightenment, physicians sought to shed their superstitious past," says Sugg. In 1782, for example, William Black, a physician, wrote that he welcomed the demise of "loathsome and insignificant" medicines, like "dead men's skulls pulverized." These, and "a farrago of such feculence," had fortunately disappeared from the pharmacies, Black remarked.
An era had come to an end, and with it the interest in recipes like those of Briton John Keogh. The preacher, who died in 1754, recommended pulverized human heart for "dizziness." Keogh even provided a dose and instructions for use: "A dram in the morning -- on an empty stomach."

Cannibal narratives: Conquest, nationality and identity in high medieval England (William II, King of England, Richard I, King of England) (2003)
Blurton, Heather F, Colombia University
Abstract
In “Cannibal Histories: Conquest, Nationality and Identity in High Medieval England,” I explore the construction of national identity made exigent by the continuous invasion England suffered throughout the High Middle Ages. I focus on the surprisingly pervasive way in which cannibals and cannibalism are inscribed in texts produced in England during this period, arguing that the trope of cannibalism in this political context is a discursive means through which to explore anxieties about external conquest, internal colonization and territorial consolidation. The aim of this dissertation is not only to fully explore the trope of cannibalism in medieval texts. It is also both to modify interpretations that understand all medieval descriptions of cannibalism as expressions of eucharistic anxiety-interpretations that depend on reading backward from late Medieval and early Modern expressions and critiques of eucharistic theology to a period in which this theology was in the process of being fully theorized-and also to suggest ways to think about the paradoxical formulation and expression of an English national identity in a period when this identity seemed most threatened, and in a period when we are unaccustomed to reading for the discourse of the “nation.”
Cannibalism in the Soviet Union The Famine of 1920-21 Caused People to Resort to Eating Human Flesh
The Soviet government's refusal to acknowledge, or attend to, the famine that swept much of the Soviet Union during the early 1920s led to widespread cannibalism.
In the years 1920-21, the Soviet Union was hit hard by famine. Civil war had wiped out grain stores, and drought affected harvests. Struggling peasants and Gulag prisoners alike fell victim to starvation. Hungry individuals ate what they could find – the last of their livestock, cats and dogs, and then finally, fellow human beings. Cannibalism in Soviet Russia and elsewhere in the Soviet Union manifested itself in prisons camps, in urban settings, and in the countryside. The practice of cannibalism was seen as a survival measure rather than a true crime by those who had nothing else to eat.
Cannibalism in the Soviet Union – Crime or Compassion?
It goes without saying that cannibalism in the Soviet Union was outlawed. Those who were caught cannibalizing their fellow citizens were sent to prisons, even though cannibalism was practiced in the Gulag, as well. Parents of starving children might cook and serve the bodies of strangers, neighbors, or relatives who had died in order to give their offspring a chance at survival. While some acts of cannibalism certainly occurred because of psychotic hunger, other acts of cannibalism were undertaken as practicalities due to lack of available food.
Cannibalism in the Soviet Union – Cannibalistic Murder
While some individuals ate the bodies of the already dead, others murdered for the purpose of providing themselves with food. Gangs of children would kill adults, while adults would find children to murder and eat. Escaped prisoners might take along fellow inmates to serve as future meals – unbeknownst to the escapees' companions themselves.
Cannibalism in the Soviet Union – Cannibalism for Revenge
Cannibalism in the Soviet Union was sometimes a result of an individual or individuals seeking revenge. Those who worked and lived together might suspect one of their company of withholding goods, of lying to authorities, or of other actions that were detrimental to one or more starving persons. The offending person might then be killed and cooked.
Cannibalism in the Soviet Union – The Secret Ingredient
When food supply was low, meat pies might be filled with the innards of the dead. While sales were stopped if officials caught wind of such actions, undoubtedly many hungry individuals became cannibals unawares.
Cannibalism in the Soviet Union – Bodies as a Resource
Cemeteries had to be guarded against cannibals during this period in Soviet history - hungry peasants would steal bodies for food. Guards at prisons would feed live prisoners with the bodies of those who had died. Students would sell corpses to the hungry to raise funds. Livers, lungs, and other body parts were stolen from dissection rooms to be cooked and served for meals.
A Summary of Ukraine History and the Yalta Conference Holodomor: The Great Famine in Soviet Ukraine, 1932-1933 Were Stalin's Five Year Plans a Justifiable Means to an End?
The practice of cannibalism in the Soviet Union is certainly one indication of how dire circumstances were on a most basic level. However, the Soviet government pretended both the famine and the practice of cannibalism were fiction, so few real measures were taken taken to ease the suffering of the people.

Cannibalism in Pre Modern Europe
Motives and Explanations For Abnormal Human Behavior
From fairy tales to a new study conducted by a British medical historian, instances of cannibalism serving a variety of purposes was more widespread than thought.
At the end of the 1973 futuristic film Soylent Green, Charlton Heston runs frantically through the streets shouting, “soylent green is people!” Much like H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine in which the docile Eloi are bred for the cannibalistic Morlocks, the concept of eating another human being has always been accompanied with fear and repugnance. Yet much evidence exists that forms of cannibalism existed in Europe in the pre modern period. In some cases, cannibalism was even seen in later centuries, such as during the Starving Time in colonial Jamestown.
Fairy Tales and Cannibalism in Europe
Discussing French fairy tales, historian Robert Darnton begins with the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The unaltered, original tale has the wolf not only killing the grandmother, but slicing her flesh onto a platter and pouring her blood into a bottle. Once the little girl arrives, she is invited to eat and drink. In the end, the wolf devoured her. As Darnton explains, “far from veiling their message with symbols, the storytellers of eighteenth-century France portrayed a world of raw and naked brutality.” [1]
Johannes de Trokelowe, chronicling the 1315 great famine that swept Europe in the early fourteen-century, writes of the universal hunger and of reports that, “men and women in many places secretly ate their own children…” [2] At Jamestown, Virginia, in 1608, one colonist was convicted of killing and eating his wife and burned at the stake.
Fairy tales often reflected such stark examples of cannibalism. Sheldon Cashdan [3] states that, “the consumption o human flesh…occurs fairly regularly in fairy tales” and gives a number of examples, including the classic Hansel and Gretel. Even the Grimm Brothers, collecting tales from popular folklore, include stories of cannibalism.
Opinions differ, however, as to the meaning behind these stories. Beyond the psychoanalytical, both Cashdan and Darnton offer different reasons, Darnton pointing to actual rural instances that became incorporated into such tales (social conditions) while Cashdam focuses on the “witch” concept: “if the witch is to perish, as she must, the reader must be convinced that she deserves to die.”
Aztec Sacrifice & Cannibalism – Ritual or Diet?
A Historic Look at the Story of Little Red Riding Hood Findings Suggest Neanderthals Were Probably Cannibals Cannibalism, Medicine, and Death in the Late Middle Ages
Philip Bethge [4] comments on new research conducted by Richard Sugg of Durham University that details extensive practices of cannibalism, tied in many cases to medicine, in 16th and 17th Century Europe. Many of these instances involved the use of cadavers. Reflecting on the religious significance, Bethge writes that, “for some Protestants…it served as a sort of substitute for the Eucharist, or the tasting of the body of Christ in Holy Communion.”
Charles Panati [5] writes that, “since earliest times, one person ate a small piece of flesh of another – or drank drops of blood – to share in that person’s strength, holiness, wisdom, or courage…” Panati cites examples that include the Eskimos as well as certain African and South American cultures. James Frazer also details cultures that habitually practiced forms of cannibalism. [6]
Cannibalism is a Universal Fear
In the 1962 Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man,” friendly aliens turn the planet into a Utopia with the secret purpose of breeding mankind for eventual consumption. Stories of cannibalism bridge the centuries, playing on innate human fears that are all the more stirred when confronted with the historical realities of cannibalism among common ancestors.

Cannibal killers 'cooked Russian schoolgirl with potatoes and ate her because they were hungry'
Police believe Karina Barduchyan, 16, was killed, dismembered and eaten. She disappeared after leaving for school in St Petersburg
A teenage girl may have been killed and partially eaten by two men, Russian prosecutors said yesterday.
Karina Barduchyan, 16, disappeared after leaving for school in St Petersburg on January 19.
Police believe she was killed and dismembered that night.
Body parts believed to belong to her have been found in plastic bags scattered around the city.
Two 19-year-old men have been arrested in connection with the grisly killing.
Karina knew suspects Yuri Mozhnov, a florist, and Maxim Golovatskikh, a street-market butcher and former psychiatric patient.
The alleged killers lured her to a city flat where they drowned her in a bath.
'The arrestees said they ate the girl's body parts because they were hungry,' city prosecutor's spokesman Sergei Kapitonov said.
They told investigators they baked some body parts with potatoes, he added.
They allegedly disposed of her bagged remains in garbage containers and bodies of water.
Yuri Mozhnov is being held on suspicion of murder
Bags with body parts were found in at least two locations, he said.
Both men are being held on suspicion of murder.
St Petersburg prosecutor, Andrei Lavrenko, said investigators believe the suspects decided to kill Miss Barduchyan after an argument erupted between her and Golovatskikh.
Lavrenko said investigators found traces of blood when they ripped out plumbing and floorboards in the apartment.
Mozhnov was convicted of robbery in 2005, Kapitonov said.
He said Golovatskikh had been treated in the past at a psychiatric hospital.
Costa ‘cannibal’ is caged
A BRITISH man who claimed he ATE his girlfriends body on the Costa Blanca faces 12 years in jail after yesterday admitting her manslaughter.
Cannibal Paul Durant admitted battering mum-of-two Karen Durrell to death with a mallet.
After being arrested, heroin addict Durant, 47, wrote to a UK newspaper from jail, saying he ate part of her body.
Victim ... Karen Durrell
He boasted: After I killed her, I cut her body into small parts, eating what parts of her I found edible. I finally disposed of her in small rubbish bags. She knew she had to die.
But yesterday Durant told a court in Alicante, Spain, he did NOT murder Karen and denied chopping up her body with a saw and eating her flesh.
Durant, of East London, fled to Spain in 2003 after being arrested for an armed robbery in London.
He met 41-year-old divorcee Karen, of Ilford, Essex, in January 2004 in the village of Calpe, near Benidorm – where she had moved in search of a better life.
Weeks later he met a pal of Karen's and boasted that he had butchered her.
Cops broke into Karen's flat and found blood in the bath, a knife and a saw with traces of flesh – but no body.
Durant told cops that he had a row with Karen over a child abuse video, left the room, and hit her in the head from behind with a mallet. Her body was never found.
Prosecutors yesterday dropped murder charges after a defence plea deal for manslaughter. They agreed a 12-year term, plus nine months for theft.
A panel of judges is expected to confirm the sentence in three weeks.
bon appétit

Prisoner Accused Of Threatening To Eat Obama
PHILADELPHIA – A career burglar from Pennsylvania is accused of writing a prison letter in which he threatened to kill President Barack Obama and eat his flesh.
Secret Service agents say 32-year-old Gregory Dale Brockman also threatened first lady Michelle Obama and former President George W. Bush.
Brockman pleaded not guilty to the charges Thursday before a federal magistrate in Philadelphia. His public defender, Mara Meehan, declined to comment.
Prosecutors say Brockman told Secret Service agents that his anger stems from the U.S. involvement in Iraq. The agents say he also admired cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer and other serial killers, and vowed to act on his threats if released.
Brockman, formerly of Lehighton, is serving 30 months for burglary and other crimes.

I ran across the article below this morning while perusing CNN.com and thought of all the stupid cannibal threads on this forum pointing fingers in all directions about who does what...
Look, the REALity is certain things just don't recognize skin complexion....such as mental illness....starvation...people of all skin complexions can and do suffer from either/or...
From the beginning, All different complexioned people across Mama Earth have practiced cannibalism for one reason or another be it spiritual/cultural beliefs/practice, or due to starvation or mental illness...everyone should recognize that Truth and just dun this stupid argument...smh
Have a nice day....

Statistical information on " mental illness" is determined by European definitions of mental illness. Many of these things are not defined as mental illness in other countries. In the U.S. there are data rates on populations according to these definitions of mental illness. In many non-Western countries there is little data because culturally they define illness differently and many people have little access to doctors much less psychiatrist, often the poor in Western countries also.
Albinos in Africa , whatever the case may be, have a more difficult time socially as albinos than they do elsewhere. They look more different than the majority of the rest of the populations and there are many superstitions about them. If they have higher rates of mental illness it is probably most due to social pressures, sometimes even being murdered and dismemebered for magical power believed to be in use of their body parts.

Thank you for reading my past post on this subject and repackaging it for presentation. It's always been my experience of when a black man gives insightful information to whites, they dismiss it, only to represent it at a later date. Once again, you confirm this sequence.
The abuse of Albinos in Africa my fellow Africans has nothing to do with discrimination as with the descendants of these Albinos, Europeans. Rather, it is due to the prevalence of superstition (ignorance) in the native African culture. This reality has likely always been true and along with UV poisoning are most probably the primary motives for ancient African Albinos to migrate out of Africa to Asia & Europe. This as well as Leprosy (Albinism) are likely the reasons for the initiation of the original "White Power" movement, meant to uplift albino moral, following being segregated from mainstream society due to fears of contamination of others from their ailment. Not only Africans segregated Albinos, but also Rome (Lepers), and Europe (Cagots). Mental illness, unlike Homosexuality or intelligence, is determined by genetics.
We know that when a child is conceived, and there is insufficient melanin in the pre-fetus building blocks, severe compromises are made in the development and wiring of the brain, the optical pathways, and the spinal cord. The end result will be some form of mental/Optical impairment to the child/adult. If you examine what current mainstream Anti-psychotic drugs do to help the symptoms of mental illness, you will see they act to enhance or suppress neuromelanins and electrolytic biochemicals.

My people, why are arguing with these Eurocentric savages? I assure you, how they are presenting this story is a lie. Just as how they presented supposed slavery in sudan is a lie. We need to stop listening to these European outlets in relation to Africa and Africans. One thing I assure you. Albinos are not looked at as good luck in Africa. they are looked down on and considered to be BAD luck. The west African singer Salif Keita is one of the best examples of this. Look up his story, he was degraded his entire life. Also, when whites are in Africa they are generally refered to as Albinos. I have a white friend who lived in Ghana, he was telling us how no one would call him by his name. They called him Albino. Also, African used to believe that whites were actually walking dead people and that they were lower than black people. Africans used to say that white is the thing you walk on (bottom of the foot) so therefore anyone white must be less than. You ask any African who has lived in certain country side areas. They will tell you. Africans who have not had a lot of interactions with whites thought that way for a LONG time. Don't believe this b.s.
