    • “**EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE!** CNN ANCHOR CHRIS CUOMO THREATENING TRUMP SUPPORTER!”
      THAT’S THE POINT with Brandon – Published on August 12, 2019

      • And just think last week August 5, 2019 Chris Cuomo interviewed Christopher Grant, who was shot on August 3, 2019.

        Christopher Grant, El Paso shooting survivor, states that he was hit, but he doesn’t say where. He gives the impression that he was hit in the back.

        Excerpt from CNN transcript:

        Christopher Grant: …. And then that’s when he saw me, and just started, and I ducked, and started – I was behind the chips. And so, I ducked, and he just boo- boo-boo-boo-boo-boo, started firing off rounds at me, and I was like “Oh my God, this guy’s shooting at me.”

        And then so when I got hit, it was like – it was like somebody put a hand grenade in your back, and pulled the pin, that’s basically what it felt like – felt like.

        And then, so I was like “Oh, my God, I got to get up. I got to get up. Get up, Get up. Get up.” And then, so he walked to the bank, which was right by the restrooms, and just randomly started – I mean people were praying in Spanish, “Por favor, no, no, por favor, no.”

        GRANT: … And when I ran through the Walmart, I kind of just mingled around through the paint department, and then I finally found the auto department. And so, I ran through the auto department door, and there was Donna, my Guardian Angel, and she’s a federal agent.

        GRANT: And I said there’s a shooter inside, Code Brown. My dad was in the military, and so that means there’s a shooter inside, so she’s like “Get down. Get down.”

        And she went to work, and did her job, and patched me up, and took me to shelter, and covered me, and just did all these things that, you know, she was paid to do.

        That was her job. You know, she didn’t – she said and – and she said the same thing my mom said. “I’m going to Walmart. I don’t need my firearm.” And so, she didn’t have her gun with her.

        She’ll be a friend for life because she – I honestly, honestly think she saved my life. I really do. Because she was there for me, she never – she never left my side. And she called everybody, and before you know it, she threw me in the back of a random pickup truck, who happened to be a police officer, and she said, “Get this guy to the ambulance.”

        CUOMO: ….So, Chris Grant has to be in a Walmart with his mother, and become a superhero, and take the kind of wounds that have tubes coming all out of his body, and yet his heart is filled with the sweetness that this bastard who did this never felt a day in his young life.

        But then, there’s more to this story because sometimes good things do happen to the people who deserve it. And he was in bad shape. The word they used in the medical field is exsanguinating, he’s bleeding out.

        And of all ironies, there’s an off-duty CBP agent, Custom and Border Protection – Protection. She’s there. She saves him. She thought she’d never see him again. He wants to thank the woman who saved his life, and that will happen with all of us, next.
        http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1908/05/CPT.01.html

        So let me get this straight. Christopher Grant was shot in the back on August 3, 2019? He was able to run through different depts. in Walmart. He was exsanguinating – bleeding out (I’m guessing from his exit wound), and his guardian angel patched him up? That’s a miracle.

        So he was shot on August 3, 2019 and Chris Cuomo interviews him on August 5, 2019. That is a day and a half from the shooting.

        “So, Chris Grant has to be in a Walmart with his mother, and become a superhero, and take the kind of wounds that have tubes coming all out of his body…” – Chris Cuomo

        Where are the tubes?

        If he was shot in the back and was bleeding out, the bullet must have hit some major organs or a lung giving him a pneumothorax – collapse lung. Yet he has no chest tubes/ pleurovac, no hemovacs ( abdominal wound drainage) and no NG tube? Would they remove these drains in 1 1/2 days? I don’t think so.

    • One Stabbed in Sydney: Man With Knife Allegedly Shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ and ‘Shoot Me’ (sputniknews, Aug 13, 2019)
      https://sputniknews.com/asia/201908131076536892-australian-police-probe-reports-of-armed-man-in-sydney/

      “According to a police spokeswoman, Australian police are investigating reports of an armed man in downtown Sydney.

      Sydney police have made an arrest while responding to reports of a man armed with a knife attacking members of the public, The Guardian reports.

      According to NSW police, a young woman was stabbed in a hotel nearby. She has been taken to hospital in a stable condition.

      The man was taken into custody, according to a spokeswoman for NSW Police.

      ?”It is too early to determine whether there were any injuries,” spokeswoman said as quoted by the 7NEWS.com.au.

      The man walked across a city street with a knife and jumped onto the bonnet of a car allegedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “shoot me”, according to Australian media.

      Social media videos reportedly show members of the public trying to restrain the armed man.

      A body had been discovered in the central business district of Sydney, where a woman was stabbed earlier and a man was arrested, according to Australian police. The police are investigating if the body was linked to the incident.

      ?Police urged the public to avoid the area nearby King and Clarence Streets.”

    • Sydney stabbing: British heroes from Manchester take down knifeman on rampage (express, Aug 13, 2019)
      https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1165001/sydney-stabbing-latest-australia-news-Central-Business-District-knife-crime

      “THREE British heroes helped take down a knife-wielding man on a stabbing rampage in Sydney’s Central Business District which left at least one woman dead.

      One woman was stabbed in the back and the body of another woman was discovered nearby in Clarence Street, New South Wales police confirmed. She is in hospital in a stable condition. Witnesses said they saw a man carrying a knife and attempting to stab several people. Bystanders were seen shielding themselves with chairs as they walked down the street towards the attacker.

      Footage online shows members of the public pounce on the suspect, pinning him down with chairs and a crate over his head.

      Three Britons were involved in taking down the knifeman in Sydney, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

      Lee Cuthbert, Paul O’Shaughnessy and Luke O’Shaughnessy, all from Manchester, were working in the area when they heard the man attempting to stab several people outside.

      They chased him down the street to grab the suspect and stop him in his tracks.

      They told the Australian paper: “We had a window open to get some air in and then we just heard the commotion, we looked out and saw him on top of a car wielding a knife and we all just kind of reacted from there.

      “We just tried to get down as quick as we could. You don’t think, you just kind of react really, it was surreal, very, very surreal.

      “We all kind of chased, worked together, but it was Luke who was the real hero. He pursued him the hardest and managed to get a grip of him.”

      Paul, 37, who played professionally for English football club Bury, and his brother Luke, 30, from Manchester, later added they had just finished lunch when they heard a commotion outside.

      Speaking with a distinct northern accent, he told the Guardian: “We just finished lunch … We’re just based on King Street and we have a window slightly open so we can hear noise and traffic and we heard a lot of shouting which was now obviously the attacker, and my brother opened the window even more and he said, ‘Mate, there’s a guy wielding a knife.’

      “Our immediate reaction was, right, let’s go and help, if he’s wielding a knife. So we went down the escalator, ran out, and you could see all the public on this side of the road and we were like, ‘Where is he?’

      “Could see a little bit of blood so we knew he’s done something with that knife, so we just ran after him basically and people were shouting, ‘He’s down that way.’

      “… In our heads we were saying to each other, ‘Be careful, be careful,’ and we were asking witnesses, we were saying, ‘What has he got, is there anything else?’ ‘Nah, it’s just a knife’ – so that made us press forward even more because you can tackle someone if it’s like that, not if he’s got a gun or whatever.

      “So we went straight over, we got him near a cafe down near George Street. There was one guy already tussling and we just kind of like, everyone just jumped on the guy.”…”

  2. Eid al Adha wishes 2019: Greetings, quotes and poems to celebrate Eid al Adha (express, Aug 13, 2019)
    https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1162579/eid-al-adha-wishes-2019-greetings-quotes-poems-WhatsApp-celebrate-eid-al-Adha

    “EID AL ADHA is finally here – and millions of Muslims around the world are celebrating one of the holiest festivals in the Islamic calendar. Here are greetings, quotes and poems to commemorate the festival of Eid al Adha.

    Eid al Adha began on Sunday, August 11 – with Muslims around the world celebrating the beginning of one of the holiest festivals in the Islamic calendar. This year, Eid al Adha – also known as Eid ul Adha – will run until Thursday, August 15. Also known as the “Festival of the Sacrifice”, Eid al Adha is the second holiest festival in the Islamic calendar, the first being Eid al Fitr. Eid al Adha lasts approximately four days, and Muslims gather to indulge in food, say prayers and give gifts to friends and family.

    Eid al Adha commemorates the prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son for Allah.

    Allah asked Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, as a sign of his faith.

    This is similar to the Christian and Jewish stories where God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac but saved him from doing so at the last moment.

    Instead of Ishmael being sacrificed, a lamb was instead, which is why many Muslims sacrifice and eat lamb for Eid.

    Here are greetings, quotes and poems for Eid al Adha

    1. On Eid al-Adha, wishing that your sacrifices are appreciated and your prayers are answered by the Almighty. Have a blessed Eid Al-Adha!

    2. May the divine blessings of Allah bring you hope, faith, and joy on Eid al-Adha and forever. Happy Eid al-Adha 2019!

    3. On the Holy occasion of Eid al-Adha that celebrates the Hajj… May you be filled with happiness and may every step of your journey through life be blessed by Allah. Eid Mubarak!

    4. Eid al-Adha Mubarak: It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah: It is your piety that reaches him: he has thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for his guidance to you and proclaim the good news to all who do right.

    5. May the magic of this Eid bring lots of happiness in your life and may you celebrate it with all your close friends and may it fill your heart with wonders. Eid Mubarak!

    6. He is the One God; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, most wise.

    7. The moon has been sighted

    The samosas are ready

    Here comes Eid so just go steady

    Lots of duas is all I request

    And just wanted to wish you all the Best!!! Eid Mubarak

    8. I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He has a grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on the straight path [the truth].

    9. May the Almighty guides us on the right path,

    Fill our hearts with sympathy so we can help

    The needy and poor people in all the stages of life

    Eid Mubarak

    10. May God send his Love like Sunshine

    in his warm and gentle ways

    to fill every corner of your Heart

    and filled your Life with a lot of

    Happiness like this EID DAY.

    Wishing you EID MUBARAK.

  3. University chief bans all beef from campus in fight against ‘climate change emergency’ (telegraph, Aug 12, 2019)
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/08/12/beef-banned-university-bid-fight-climate-change/

    “They were once regarded as staples of the students’ canteen. But now burgers, lasagne, chilli and tacos have been taken off the menu at a London university which has banned beef as part of its efforts to fight climate change.

    From next month, Goldsmiths, University of London has said it will remove all beef product from its campus shops and cafes. Students will also face a 10p levy on bottles of water and single-use plastic cups when the academic year starts to discourage use of the products.

    It is part of a new drive by the university to become carbon neutral by 2025, which involves building more solar panels and switching to a “clean” energy supplier.

    Academic courses will also be reviewed to give students more opportunities to study climate change as part of their degree.

    Professor Frances Corner, the new Warden of Goldsmiths said that “declaring a climate emergency cannot be empty words”….”

    • Today, [11th April 2019] as I announce that I’ve been appointed the next Warden of Goldsmiths, and will be leaving London College of Fashion, UAL – where I’ve been Head of College for the last fourteen years – I’m reflecting on the footprints I have made.

  4. Former German General Blasts Merkel on Open Borders, Joins Populist AfD (breitbart, Aug 13, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/08/13/former-german-general-blasts-merkel-on-open-borders-joins-populist-afd/

    “Former three-star general Joachim Wundrak is running for mayor of Hanover for Alternative for Germany (AfD) after expressing contempt for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open border policies.

    Wundrak, a former member of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, has accused the German leader of facilitating mass migration, which he has labelled an “anti-German” policy, Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung reports.

    In an interview with the paper, Wundrak said that he chose to leave the CDU in 2017, saying Merkel could not recognise what she could have done differently during the height of the migrant crisis in 2015.

    He said that joining the populist, anti-mas migration AfD in 2018, shortly after he retired as a general in the Luftwaffe, came at a risk, saying: “Anyone who confesses to supporting the AfD is bullied and marginalised. They also get into the focus of Antifa.”

    The alt-left extremist Antifa group have repeatedly targetted AfD politicians, advocating for assassinations and even allegedly taking credit for a brutal attack on AfD politician Frank Magnitz earlier this year in Bremen.

    Wundrak noted that Merkel’s CDU could lose the confidence of the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, saying: “The AfD is the only party that fully supports the Bundeswehr.”

    “The support of the AfD is likely to be even greater in police circles than among the soldiers,” he added.

    “The comrades in the police experience the aberrations of German politics on the street every day. They are at the front.”

    While the AfD is routinely painted as extremist by other political parties and the press, Wundrak said he had not experienced any extremism after joining and said the party platform was in line with the CDU’s platform from 2003.

    On the subject of Ms Merkel, Wundrak said: “Merkel has sworn an oath to Germany, but she already has a problem talking about a German people. She prefers to speak of ‘population’. Many German politicians struggle to profess their own nation.”

    “The protection of one’s own borders is no longer a priority goal. Germany is giving more and more sovereignty to the EU, the European Central Bank, to supranational organisations. I do not agree with this. The nation-state is the primary form of organisation for Germany. Where structures become too big, an undemocratic spirit quickly arises,” he added.”

  5. Hungary Announces Investigation into Social Media Censorship in Europe (breitbart, Aug 13, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/08/13/hungary-announces-investigation-into-social-media-censorship-in-europe/

    “Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga has announced that she will be starting an investigation into censorship of political views on social media in Hungary and across Europe.

    The Hungarian minister made her announcement on social media platform Facebook over the weekend, saying she would be creating a “working group” within the ministry to “investigate the possibilities for a legal environment to ensure the transparency of social media service providers – both on EU and national level.”

    “Originally their job would not be to influence societal processes and elections by censoring comments on an ideological basis, however, if they had done it once they shall accept the necessity of the regulation and follow the rules of democracy,” she added.

    The announcement comes only a month after Emmanuel Macron’s government announced it would be taking the opposite view and would look to force search engines and social media networks to censor “hate speech” in France.

    The measure, which was passed in early July, would see large fines for internet companies who do not remove offending material within a 24-hour period.

    The European Union has also pushed for censorship of “hate speech” on social media in recent years, including proposing a similar law to the French legislation in September of last year.

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government has also demanded social media companies remove “hate speech” and introduced fines of up to 50 million euros for companies which violate the policy.

    Social media censorship has been a major issue in the United States with President Donald J. Trump looking to use various agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to potentially regulate online censorship through an executive order.

    A leaked draft of the executive order, entitled “Protecting Americans from Online Censorship,” would allow the FCC to change how social media companies are treated under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which allows tech companies to censor lewd or questionable content.”

  6. Journalist Smuggles Migrant Into Sweden, Migrant Convicted of Knife Crime (breitbart, Aug 13, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/08/13/journalist-smuggles-migrant-into-sweden-migrant-convicted-of-knife-crime/

    “A Syrian migrant smuggled into Sweden by a journalist working for Sweden’s national broadcaster has been sentenced in court for knife crimes.

    The 20-year-old Syrian was smuggled into Sweden in 2014 by journalist Fredrik Önnevall and three of his colleagues, all of whom worked for Swedish broadcaster SVT.

    According to a report from Nyheter Idag, the 20-year-old was arrested last year in April for carrying a knife in central Uppsala and now has been convicted and given a 2,000 Swedish Krona (£173/$209) fine.

    Önnevall, who was convicted and sentenced for smuggling the Syrian last year, was allowed to keep his job at SVT, with the company’s HR and Communications Director stating: “SVT agrees with the team that they abandoned their journalistic mission in this case, but they ended up in a difficult situation and acted on humanitarian grounds and not for their own gain.”

    Shortly after his conviction, Önnevall told SVT that he had been in contact with the Syrian by phone, and claimed he had a job and was doing schooling.

    Other reports championed the migrant’s integration, claiming that he spoke fluent Swedish — but Nyheter Idag claims that he required an interpreter during his trial.

    Önnevall is not the only public figure to have attempted to or successfully helped smuggle migrants during the migrant crisis.

    In 2017, Swiss left-wing politician Lisa Bosia Mirra was convicted and sentenced to a fine of £7,000 after she helped 24 illegal immigrants to enter and stay in Switzerland. Mirra, along with an accomplice, had trafficked the migrants from Italy across the border.

    A year earlier, German Left Party politician Diether Dehm was accused of smuggling an African migrant from Italy into Germany in the back of his car after picking him up near his holiday home in Lake Maggiore.

    Despite Dehm admitting to smuggling the migrant, the charges were later dropped by investigators.”

  7. WATCH: Arab clan members humiliate and scare away a policeman in Essen, Germany+++
    A video currently outraged the social networks: it shows how Arab clan members in Essen first insult a policeman, then threaten him and finally intimidate him so much that he disappears. The clan community rejoices over this “success”.Probably a local resident later posted this video on the social networks, which was quickly shared and already viewed and commented by thousands of people. Of the three men involved, only one person has not yet made a criminal record. The other two are well known to the police for property crimes, violent crimes and drug offences. Possible witnesses of the incident, passers-by, motorists and residents are asked to report their observations to the Essen police by calling 0201/829-0.

    • the gateway pundit – FBI Scrambles to Cover Window with Cardboard Boxes as Rogue Drone Captures Raid of Epstein’s ‘Pedophile Island’

      A dozen FBI agents raided Epstein’s ‘pedophile island’ on Monday, just two days after he reportedly hanged himself with a prison bedsheet.

      The FBI agents scrambled to cover windows with cardboard boxes as a rogue drone captured the raid.

      The drone footage captured the diving team patrolling the water and FBI agents inside one of the rooms of Epstein’s compound on Little St. James Island.

      The operator of the drone is unknown at this time, however, the individual has been gathering footage of Epstein’s island for several weeks.

      The drone allegedly spotted a missing computer and other equipment before the FBI raided the property.

      Previous drone footage also showed maintenance crews working on Epstein’s compound before the FBI raided the place.

      Why did the FBI wait for over a month following Epstein’s arrest to raid his compound on ‘pedophile island’?

    • Report: Maxwell Told Friend That Epstein’s Entire Island Was Wired For Video, Presumably For Blackmail Purposes

      I keep hearing Tommy Lee Jones’s voice: “Your fugitive’s name is Ghislaine Maxwell.”

      We must find this degenerate, wherever she may be hiding globally, and bring her to justice. In the meantime, after reading this Vanity Fair piece I’m revising my theory about that mysterious temple on Epstein’s Pedophile Island. Old theory: The temple is a satanic playground where Epstein and his jetset cohorts would do unspeakable things to children as part of some ritual sacrifice to Zozo or whoever.

      New theory: The temple is actually a massive surveillance hub where Epstein would review and store all of the blackmail footage he’d recorded of his guests on the island.

      And also a satanic playground where he and his pals would do unspeakable things to children as part of some ritual sacrifice to Zozo or whoever.

      On the weekends in the 1990s, Maxwell would have her Rollerblades FedExed to Epstein’s island in the Caribbean, and said she got her helicopter’s license so she could transport anyone she liked without pilots knowing who they were. Maxwell also said the island had been completely wired for video; the friend thought that she and Epstein were videotaping everyone on the island as an insurance policy, as blackmail. A source close to Maxwell says she spoke glibly and confidently about getting girls to sexually service Epstein, saying this was simply what he wanted, and describing the way she’d drive around to spas and trailer parks in Florida to recruit them. She would claim she had a phone job for them, “and you’ll make lots of money, meet everyone, and I’ll change your life.” The source continues, “Ghislaine was in love with Jeffrey the way she was in love with her father. She always thought if she just did one more thing for him, to please him, he would marry her.”

      Maxwell had one other thing to tell this woman: “When I asked what she thought of the underage girls, she looked at me and said, ‘they’re nothing, these girls. They are trash.’”

      Maybe the temple was a “guest house” to which Epstein would direct his visitors and their underaged “companions” so that they could have some alleged privacy, little knowing that the entire structure is wired for extortion reasons. I wonder if any of Epstein’s friends/clients knew that he was amassing blackmail material on them and nonetheless continued associating with him after they found out. Why not, if he already had evidence stashed away that could ruin their lives and send them to prison? Under those circumstances, they were better off staying on his good side by continuing to cultivate his friendship and enjoy his … services.

      We’re still waiting on a verdict from New York’s medical examiner on Epstein’s death but the Times reported yesterday that she’s “confident” it was indeed suicide by hanging. Sources told the New York Post that Epstein did it with a bedsheet tied to the top bunk in his cell, with the prisoner kneeling in order to strangle himself. CBS reported this morning that “shouting and shrieking” was heard in Epstein’s cell but the story implies that it was coming from the guards when they found him, not from Epstein himself — although we should probably put the term “guards” in quotation marks in this case:

      No correctional officer had checked on Mr. Epstein for several hours before he was found, even though guards were supposed to look in on prisoners in the protective unit where he was housed every half-hour, a prison official and two law-enforcement officials with knowledge of the detention said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

      In addition, only one of the two people guarding the Special Housing Unit — known as 9 South — normally worked as a correctional officer, according to three prison officials with knowledge of the case. The officials did not say what sort of job the other employee usually worked.

      MCC is so understaffed that support workers like nurses and secretaries are often given cursory training as guards and subbed in when a fully trained guard is absent. In any case, the inmate who used to share Epstein’s cell and reportedly found him after his previous suicide attempt was a few cells away during his successful attempt this weekend and allegedly heard nothing. “It was a silent act,” per his lawyer.

      The lack of fully trained guards in Epstein’s wing of the prison isn’t the only professional lapse associated with his death. About an hour ago, BuzzFeed noted that Epstein’s death was reported on 4chan more than a half hour before it was publicly known:

      “[D]ont ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago from hanging, cardiac arrest. Screencap this,” read the post, which was published at 8:16 AM alongside an image of Pepe, the green frog that has become a mascot for the right-wing internet trolls.

      That post was 38 minutes before the first tweet about Epstein’s death was from Aaron Katersky, an ABC News reporter, at 8:54 AM. Five minutes later, the main ABC News account tweeted an article about Epstein’s death.

      After publishing the post, other 4chan users egged on the author. When they said they didn’t believe that the information was true, the original poster added more information to the discussion thread, including a detailed breakdown of the procedures allegedly used to resuscitate Epstein, which suggest the poster may have been a first responder, medical worker, or otherwise privy to details about efforts to resuscitate the disgraced financier.

      Only two possibilities. One: Someone at MCC or an EMT who was called to the scene of Epstein’s death is posting at 4chan.

    • the gateway pundit – Killer Cop Who Shared Cell with Epstein The First Time He Was Found Unconscious — Says He Heard Nothing the Night Epstein Died

      66-year-old financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell on Saturday morning.

      Epstein was the highest profile prisoner in the US prison system at the time of his death.

      The multi-millionaire financier was hospitalized in July after he was found unresponsive in what appeared to be a possible suicide attempt.

      According to reports Epstein told authorities someone tried to kill him in a previous incident weeks earlier.

      After the July incident he was reportedly put under suicide watch.

      Then late last week prison officials moved his roommate Nick Tartaglione.

      Tartaglione is an ex-Westchester cop who faces the death penalty in a quadruple homicide upstate.

      According to The New York Post Tartaglione, 51, is awaiting trial on charges he murdered four men as part of a drug deal gone bad. He is accused of burying the bodies on his Otisville property.

      Prison officials put an alleged mass killer who is looking at the death penalty in the same cell with the top prisoner in the US prison system.

      On Saturday, Tartaglione, who was moved a few cells away from Epstein, said, “Nobody heard anything. It was a silent act,” his lawyer Bruce Barket told NBC News.

      Conflicting reports say screaming and shrieking were heard from Epstein’s cell.

      Epstein is said to have feared him and the former Briarcliffe Manor cop was questioned following the pedophiles previous suicide attempt in July. As Cassandra Fairbanks reported earlier today the now deceased financier said the first medical emergency three weeks ago was actually an attack on his life.

      “Tartaglione is an ex-Westchester cop who faces the death penalty in a quadruple homicide upstate”

      Why on earth is Epstein put in a cell with a person facing the death penalty? This makes absolutely no sense!

      RaggedOleFlag ==> fanbeav • 11 minutes ago

      The prosecutor in both cases are the same. Maybe the ex cop made a deal. Prosecutor’s name is Maurene Comey.
      What a freaking joke this mess is.

      Pyles The Beaver III ==> fanbeav • 8 minutes ago

      It makes perfect sense if you’re looking to have him killed and want someone that may do it in exchange for a reduced sentence, such as no death.

  10. As Pakistan Moves Military Equipment to Border, Army Chief Says India ‘Well Prepared’ to Strike Back (sputniknews, Aug 13, 2019)
    https://sputniknews.com/asia/201908131076539451-as-pakistan-moves-military-equipment-to-border-army-chief-says-india-well-prepared-to-strike-back/

    “Indian and Pakistani armies recently exchanged heavy fire across the border over several days, leaving at least four dead on the Pakistani side and one on the Indian side while nearly 40 others were wounded. Most recently, the revocation of Kashmir’s special status has intensified India-Pakistan tensions.

    Playing down the movement of military equipment by Pakistan near the Line of Control as nothing but “precautionary”, Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said the Indian armed forces nevertheless are well-prepared to counter any actions by Pakistan.

    The Line of Control (LoC) is the de facto border between India and Pakistan.

    “Everybody does a precautionary deployment, and we should not get too concerned about it. As far as the Army and other services are concerned, we always have to be prepared,” General Rawat told media on Tuesday.

    The statement came on the backdrop of a media report stating that the Pakistani military has begun moving military equipment to the country’s Skardu Air Base near the Union Territory of Ladakh on the Indian-Pakistan border.

    Meanwhile, Pakistan’s ambassador to the US Asad Majeed Khan, in an interview to the New York Times, said that Pakistan might redeploy troops from the Afghanistan border to the Kashmir frontier after the recent decision to repeal Article 370, of the Indian Constitution which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

    On whether the hostilities along the border with Pakistan will escalate in the days to come, General Rawat said the choice is with Pakistan.

    “If the adversary wants to activate the LoC, the choice is his,” the Army chief said.

    The Indian Army and air force have been put on high alert along the Pakistan border for last few months to retaliate to any Pakistani misadventure effectively.

    On Monday, while visiting a border post near the LoC, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa said Islamabad had initiated multiple steps to redress the ongoing crisis in Kashmir, adding that Pakistan’s Army will not allow India to hide the alleged crimes committed by its troops in Kashmir.

    The region has been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan since the countries gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947. Both nations govern different parts of the region but claim it in its entirety. The rivals have also fought two wars over Kashmir.”

    Protesters rallied by the Delegation of the Spanish Government building in Barcelona on Monday to show their support for the Open Arms rescue ship and demand legal and safe routes for migrants.

    Anna Palou, spokesperson for the Stop Mare Mortum organisation, called for the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to “step forward and demonstrate that there is another way of doing politics, a way where human rights are at the centre and with that bring with him all the remaining European states.”

    Protesters were seen holding signs reading “Saving lives is not a crime” and “Legal and safe routes.”

    The Open Arms rescue ship is currently waiting on international waters, close to the Italian island of Lampedusa, with more than a hundred migrants stranded on board for more than a week. Italy has denied the ship entry and no other EU member state has taken action so far.

  15. Global News – People’s Party wants to axe Multiculturalism Act, eliminate funding

    + videos

    Maxime Bernier‘s new political party, which plans to run candidates in every riding in the upcoming federal election, is calling for the end of “official” multiculturalism in Canada and the preservation of “Canadian values and culture.”

    In a policy plank released Friday, the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) vowed to scrap the Canadian Multiculturalism Act if elected and cancel all funding that promotes the concept.

    “In a free society, immigrants have the right to cherish and maintain their cultural heritage,” the platform states. “However, that doesn’t mean we have any obligation to help them preserve it, with government programs and taxpayers’ money.”

    The campaign promise prompted strong reaction from Bernier’s opponents, including the Liberal government.

    oppose immigration, multiculturalism and diversity in society, our government continues to stand up for what unites us as a country,” a spokesperson for Pablo Rodriguez, the minister responsible for multiculturalism, said in a statement.

    Bernier, a Quebec MP, founded the PPC last year and will test the party’s message in a general election for the first time in October.

    Thus far, the party has not met the criteria to participate in the leaders’ debates and its support levels are barely registering in opinion polls.

    Jenny Kwan, the NDP’s critic for multiculturalism and immigration, said the multiculturalism platform is “absolutely shocking” and seemed like a page out of U.S. President Donald Trump’s playbook.

    She accused Bernier of highlighting the anti-immigrant and anti-refugee sentiments that are occupying a larger space in mainstream public discourse in recent years. She said the Multiculturalism Act, which recognizes Canada as a nation of many cultures, is something to celebrate.

    “Where else in the world can you go to a country where you can see the faces of the world, where we welcome and celebrate each other for who we are, the culture that we bring and the history that we bring to Canada,” she said.

    Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said the PPC’s latest policy announcement was “appalling” and would be resoundingly rejected by Canadians.

    “Any politics or policies that are kicked around an election campaign to give oxygen at all to hatreds, prejudices, biases, phobias of all kinds is not only unacceptable, it’s actually quite damaging to individuals whose family may feel themselves less safe,” she said.

    A representative for Andrew Scheer did not respond to requests for comment by publication, but the Conservative leader and some Tory MPs spoke out against Bernier’s views on multiculturalism while he was still a member of the party.

    On Canadian Multicultural Day in June, Scheer issued a statement noting that it was a Progressive Conservative government that passed the Multiculturalism Act.

    The PPC has been accused of attempting to court the alt-right and white nationalists with its stance on immigration and multiculturalism. When asked to respond to criticism that the multiculturalism policy is rooted in intolerance, a party spokesperson pointed to a speech Bernier gave last month.

    “I don’t care one bit about people’s race or skin colour,” he said at a Mississauga, Ont., rally on immigration. “I have said many times that racists and bigots are not welcome in our party.”

    David Haskell, the People’s Party candidate for Cambridge, Ont., said the party has candidates from a diversity of backgrounds, something he accused most media outlets of ignoring.

    The multiculturalism platform reflects the party’s emphasis on shared values across society, which he said are essential to social cohesion.

    “What is surprising to me is that this is controversial,” he said.

    Along those lines, the party is also proposing to assess newcomers’ values as part of the immigration process, an idea once floated by MP Kellie Leitch.

    The 1988 Canadian Multiculturalism Act recognizes Canada’s multicultural history and character and promotes “the freedom of all members of Canadian society to preserve, enhance and share their cultural heritage.”

    Among other things, it mandates that federal institutions provide Canadians of all origins with equal opportunity for employment and advancement.

    Canada’s multiculturalism program, one of the ways in which the act is implemented, provides grants to organizations and supports public outreach on anti-racism through events such as Multiculturalism Day as well as Black History and Asian Heritage months.

    As of 2016-2017, the program costed $10.1 million — a drop in the bucket for a government that is projected to spend $355.6 billion overall this fiscal year.

    More recent federal budgets have earmarked additional funds under the multiculturalism banner, including $19 million to grow community supports for black youth over three years, and $45 million for implementing a new federal strategy to fight racism.

    The PPC platform claims Canada’s multiculturalism policy encourages new immigrants to keep the values and culture they “left behind” rather than integrate.

    The party also accused the Trudeau government of embracing “extreme” multiculturalism.

    A spokesperson for the Liberal Party said Friday that Justin Trudeau has been “a strong defender” of multiculturalism and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms throughout his life and career.

    “He believes that Canada is strong not in spite of our differences, but because of them.”

    Bernier, a former federal cabinet minister and 2017 Conservative leadership contender, founded the People’s Party after cutting ties with the Tories last year.

    Polling from Ipsos released last month showed the party has captured about 1 per cent of popular support.

    So far at the ballot box, its performance has been somewhat stronger. The PPC received nearly 11 per cent in the February byelection that saw NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh claim a seat in Burnaby-South, and 1.9 per cent in the Ontario riding of York-Simcoe.

    A party spokesman said the PPC has roughly 40,000 members and 310 candidates in place out of 338 federal ridings.

    The Canadian Press reported earlier this month that the Conservatives have nominated 323 candidates, the Liberals 230, the NDP 141 and the Greens have candidates in more than two thirds of ridings.

    The People’s Party has already unveiled many of its platform planks on other issues.

    It has already called for a significant reduction in the number immigrants Canada accepts each year, to a level of 100,000 to 150,000. The Liberal government announced plans to raise immigration to 350,000 per year by 2021.

    Haskell said polls are showing Canadians want lower levels of immigration, and the PPC is the only party responding to that.

    In a Leger poll last month, 63 per cent of respondents said they would prefer a federal government that makes limiting immigration levels a priority due to concerns that Canada may be “reaching our limit” to integrate newcomers.

    Several police vehicles were blocked by protesters, and riot police moved in, pushing some protesters back and using pepper spray at times amid heated scenes.

    Protesters also barricaded some passageways in the airport with luggage trolleys and other objects.

    Hong Kong’s Airport Authority said operations at the airport had been “seriously disrupted” and that departing passengers had been unable to reach immigration counters.

    Dem Senator warns SCOTUS: Gun case decision could stoke progressive fire to pack court
    By Daily Caller News Foundation August 13, 2019

    Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island filed a legal brief before the Supreme Court in a challenge to New York City’s gun transportation regulations, advancing a broad indictment of the Roberts Court itself as he urged the justices to turn away the NRA-backed case.

    The brief, which follows back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, accuses the justices of delivering partisan decisions for monied Republican interests while warning of lasting damage to the Supreme Court’s legitimacy.

    “The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it. Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be ‘restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics,’” Whitehouse wrote, alluding to court-packing measures that have gained traction in progressive circles. “Particularly on the urgent issue of gun control, a nation desperately needs it to heal.”

    The Bureau of Prisons is temporarily reassigning the warden of New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center and has placed two staff members assigned to Jeffrey Epstein’s unit on administrative leave.

    The warden’s reassignment comes at the order of Attorney General William Barr.

    Justice Spokesperson Kerri Kupec announced the administrative leave of the two other staff members on Tuesday afternoon, the Hill reports.

    CBS News, citing an unnamed source, also reported on Tuesday that “shrieking and shouting” was heard coming from Epstein’s cell on the morning of his death. The source also said they heard corrections officers saying “breathe, Epstein, breathe,” while trying to revive him.

    The cellmate of Epstein was transferred out of their shared cell on the eve of the high profile prisoner’s death, leaving him alone and unmonitored.

  23. ‘Murder or Suicide?’ Judicial Watch Investigating Epstein’s Mysterious Death – ‘Sources Are Talking’

    Murder or suicide?

    Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch is officially investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s mysterious death and Tom Fitton said sources are talking.

    Here are the pertinent questions Judicial Watch is asking:

    Is the unit where Epstein died a crime scene? Preservation of evidence is critical. Fingerprints, hair samples, body fluids, location of body, method of death. Many investigations have been ruined at the outset from a failure to preserve the scene. Sound an alarm bell if the Epstein death location was not processed as a crime scene.

    Are records preserved? A source at the Bureau of Prisons tells us there would be a “huge paper trail” on Epstein—documents, logs, interviews with prison psychologists and others related to an alleged July 23 suicide attempt, recordings of phone calls, text messages. Some of us with long memories remember the suicide of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster. The Foster case dragged on for years and gave birth to numerous conspiracy theories in part because the crime scene was mishandled and documents disappeared from his White House office.

    Can the money be followed? Epstein’s finances were carefully concealed, but he was known for spreading money around to ease his problems. Prosecutors alleged he tried to buy off witnesses. And serving time at a Palm Beach county jail in 2008 and 2009 on a Florida prostitution charge—negotiated to keep him out of federal prison—Epstein managed to steer $128,000 to officials running the jail. Investigators should search for similar arrangements in New York.

    Are Bureau of Prison insiders corrupt? Most Bureau of Prisons employees are honest, but the organization has been repeatedly buffeted by corruption cases. Investiga

    “Shouting and shrieking” were heard from billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell on the morning that he died, according to a new report.

    The report, citing an unnamed source, claims that corrections officers were also heard saying “breathe, Epstein, breathe,” while trying to revive him.

    The cellmate of Epstein was transferred out of their shared cell on the eve of the high profile prisoner’s death, leaving him alone and unmonitored.

    Epstein, 66, was being held in the special housing unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City and was supposed to be being checked on every 30 minutes per the jail’s procedure — but he wasn’t.

    How did Marianne Williamson, the author of 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever, and other stuff you might see on the bottom layer of a garage sale, end up on the 2020 debate stage?

    The obvious answer is that she’s been there for a very long time.

    Lefties love to claim that they’re the movement that believes in science. But the Third Law of Thermodynamics isn’t something you believe in. Fermat’s Principle doesn’t give your life meaning.

    Hillary Clinton held a séance in the White House. The seance overseen by Jean Houston, the author of The Hero and the Goddess: The Odyssey as Pathway to Personal Transformation, encouraged Hillary to contact Eleanor Roosevelt. Hillary and Houston hit it off after the Clintons invited self-help book authors to Camp David to help them cope with their defeat. The authors included Marianne Williamson.

  27. New Freedom Center Booklet Reveals the Left’s Strategy of Fomenting Border Chaos
    The truth behind the Democrats’ deliberate strategy of “Crashing the Border.”
    August 13, 2019
    Frontpagemag.com

    A vital new booklet published by the David Horowitz Freedom Center reveals the alarming truth about the crisis engulfing America’s southern border.

    In “Crashing the Border: The Left’s Manufactured Crisis,” DiscovertheNetworks.org editor John Perazzo examines the deliberate strategy employed by Democratic politicians and leftist activists to stress and overwhelm our border security apparatus to its breaking point, and then use the resulting breakdown as a pretext to enact policies that will radically transform America’s political landscape.

    “We tend to accept this tsunami of illegal immigration as a fact of modern life, part of the inevitable and inexorable movement of populations away from poverty and toward promise,” writes Perazzo. “But this is a fiction. In fact, this problem is the product of a concerted effort by which Democratic legislators and their ideological allies have sought to overwhelm and undermine the nation’s border-security and immigration system by importing millions of people who, along with their children and grandchildren, will become reliable Democrat voters for decades to come.”

    As Perazzo’s careful research reveals, this strategy has a name and a long pedigree among leftist agitators. “The Cloward-Piven Strategy”—named for former Columbia University sociologists and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) leaders Richard Cloward and his wife, Frances Fox Piven—posits that activists can effect radical change by “crashing the system.” Their theory—which echoes their ideological ally and intellectual godfather Saul Alinsky—encourages the orchestration of various crises designed to push society into economic turmoil and panic. Confronted by an escalating crisis, Cloward and Piven believed, the masses would more easily accept explicitly socialist government interventions.

    Today we can report that another Clinton elite creep, former Clinton National Security Advisor, took a flight on the Epstein Express from Epstein’s ‘Orgy Island’ as well.
    Yesterday we uncovered that creepy former President of Harvard, Larry Summers, flew numerous times on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet and even flew to Epstein’s so called ‘Orgy Island’.

    Flight logs from the previous Epstein trial show that Larry Summers flew a couple times on the ‘Epstein Express’ to Epstein’s now infamous ‘Orgy Island’! According to flight records released from the Epstein case, Summers took four trips on Epstein’s Jet. On one trip he took his newlywed second wife, Elisa New, to Epstein’s Island for their Honeymoon in 2005.

  29. Epstein Boasted He Had Dirt on Powerful People – Including Tech Oligarchs – Was Ready to Talk

    Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein told New York Times columnist James Stewart that he had dirt on many very powerful people, including the tech oligarchs.

    Mr. Stewart visited Epstein at his mega mansion in Manhattan last August where he bragged about knowing an “astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people.”

    “He had the photos to prove it,” Stewart wrote, adding that Epstein claimed to have very damaging and embarrassing information on some very prominent names in the tech industry, although he didn’t drop any specific names.

    “He said people in Silicon Valley had a reputation for being geeky workaholics, but that was far from the truth: They were hedonistic and regular users of recreational drugs. He said he’d witnessed prominent tech figures taking drugs and arranging for sex (Mr. Epstein stressed that he never drank or used drugs of any kind),” Stewart wrote.

    Stewart recalls seeing a picture of Epstein with former President Bill Clinton on a table covered with with several framed photographs.

  30. Report: Jeffrey Epstein’s Lawyers Hire Criminal Defense Attorneys

    In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s death over the weekend, a report says two of the high-flying financier’s longtime lawyers are seeking outside legal counsel of their own.

    The New York Times reported Sunday that lawyers Jeffrey Schantz and Darren Indyke recently hired criminal defense attorneys to represent them. According to the Times, the pair were “involved with some of his trusts and other entities in New York and in the Virgin Islands.” Court documents show Epstein’s vast fortune is valued at least $559 million.

    Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell on Saturday morning at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Law enforcement received a telephone call at 6:39 a.m. local time that the hedge fund manager was suffering from cardiac arrest. He was later pronounced dead at NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital in what is believed to have been due to an apparent suicide.

Gen. Al-Hadi Adam Musa, head of Sudan’s parliamentary subcommittee on Defense, Security and Public Order, “This deal will pave the way for more agreements and greater cooperation… possibly a Russian base on the Red Sea.”

    This draft agreement followed other defense discussions between Russian President Vladimir Putin and al-Bashir. According to a recent report in The Arab Weekly:
