Sigurdur Thordarson, a key witness for the FBI against Julian Assange, has been jailed in Iceland. The notorious alleged hacker and convicted pedophile was remanded to custody in Iceland’s highest security prison, Litla Hraun, on September 24. Þórðarson´s lawyer, Húnbogi J.

Above Photo: FBI Last week I tried to provide evidence of what I believe is major international fraud. The FBI wasn’t interested. I tried to report a crime last week. It was a serious crime, too. Rather, it was a whole bunch of federal crimes. It was impossible to find anybody interested. Let me start at the beginning. Over the past year, I have developed first-hand knowledge of what I believe is a major international fraud. The principal is an American citizen who is defrauding investors in a financial technology bank scam based overseas, and the investors include people in the United […]
The Nation’s New Crime Boss By John Davis, Counterpunch.

A great deal of energy was expended recently to influence who would be the next president of the criminal enterprise that is the United States of America. The nation’s criminality was established historically by its extermination of indigenous populations inconvenient to its imperial goals and its enslavement of Africans expressly imported into the country under hideous conditions for the further ease and enrichment of the already wealthy. Although these were crimes initiated long before the formal constitution of the […]
Human Rights, Terrorism And Organized Crime By Stephen Sefton, Global Research.

To that end corporate and government investors fund leading industry producers like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Freedom House or the International Federation for Human Rights. The formal reports and social media content of these producer organizations downplay abuse and violations by governments supported by NATO and allied country governments. By contrast, these […]
Recent incidents of alleged rape cases and uproar over police proceedings have brought India’s largest state Uttar Pradesh into the spotlight. The United Nations (UN) office in India has expressed concern over continuing cases of sexual violence against girls and women in Uttar Pradesh and underlined the need for speedy justice for the victims. Head of India’s Uttar Pradesh state Yogi Adityanth on Saturday offered a dedicated helping hand to address crime against women with two new programmes — “Mission Shakti” and “Operation Shakti”. Monk-turned-politician Adityanth paid homage to the alleged gang-rape victim of Hathras village by launching the campaign, which […]
Liberalism And Fascism: Partners In Crime By Gabriel Rockhill, Counterpunch.

It represents a defense of the rule of law and democracy in the face of aberrant, malevolent demagogues intent on […]
Arguably the most difficult facet of prosecuting a serial killer case concerns the issue of insanity, since anyone who commits unspeakable atrocities must, in some respect, be out of his or her mind—and thus potentially innocent of premeditation, or able to know right from wrong. That question was essential in the trial of Dennis Nilsen, a Scottish-born resident of London who, in early 1983, was arrested after human remains were discovered in the drains of the house at 23 Cranley Gardens where he was renting a flat. A subsequent investigation uncovered more human body parts, and once a positive ID of […]

“Cocaine is a hell of a drug,” proclaimed Dave Chappelle’s Rick James, and the same is true of gambling. For proof, just ask Craig Carton, whose world collapsed in 2017 thanks to an addiction to blackjack and the ensuing fraud he perpetrated to pay off his debts. A counselor featured in Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth equates playing cards for money with snorting fine china, since both produce a high that can only be replicated through endless—and increasingly reckless—repetition. There’s clear evidence that it was a quest for that rush, and a sense of control, that did in […]
A Texas drifter threatened to kill “every black person at the Social Security office” if he didn’t get his benefits, according to a guilty plea filed in federal court this week. It all began in January 2019, when Dewitt Chandler, 40, contacted a Social Security Administration call center to ask why he hadn’t received his check. During the conversation, an apparently dissastified Chandler told the rep helping him that he would “find [his] fucking office and cut [his] fucking balls off,” say court documents. The rep handed the call off to his supervisor, who tried to defuse the situation. Chandler, however, […]
…by Jonas E. Alexis You’ve already seen this over the past seven years or so: New World Order agents funded and coached terrorist organs in Syria. Not only that, they deliberately “planted stories in media outlets from BBC to Al Jazeera, and ran a cadre of journalists.” How do we know this? Leaked documents: “Leaked documents show how UK government contractors developed an advanced infrastructure of propaganda to stimulate support in the West for Syria’s political and armed opposition.Virtually every aspect of the Syrian opposition was cultivated and marketed by Western government-backed public relations firms, from their political narratives to their […]
While more than half of Swedes have consistently polled for tighter immigration laws in recent years, the recent increase may be linked to a remarkable u-turn from Prime Minister Stefan Löfven who admitted a connection between gang crime and immigration. Nearly six out of ten Swedes want Sweden to change its laws and regulations to receive fewer refugees than today, a recent survey by the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet and pollster Sifo has found. When asked “What should Sweden’s refugee reception in terms of residence permits for refugees and their relatives look like in the future?”, 58 percent of respondents supported a […]
Trump encourages supporters to independently monitor polling places — a federal crime https://t.co/3LN6eml5hF via @CBSNews — Gordon Duff (@gpduf) September 30, 2020 At the first presidential debate Tuesday evening, President Trump encouraged his supporters to monitor Election Day polling places for instances of fraud. “I am encouraging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully, because that’s what has to happen — I am urging them to do it,” Mr. Trump said during the chaotic inaugural debate held in Cleveland, Ohio.

No question, the doctor was looking at my shirt pocket. Did he see the tiny hole? If he did, that small opening presented a major problem. Did he recognize me? I was wearing thick glasses instead of my usual contacts. My on-air hair had never looked so disheveled. Even my friends wouldn’t recognize me without my usual television makeup. I was undercover and in disguise. At least I thought so. But the doctor’s wandering eyes were making me nervous. A source had told us this guy was lying to patients about his history as an obstetrician. He’d been hammered with malpractice […]
In making sense of former Olympic and Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius’ story, particularly the February 2013 night when he shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, it’s best to assume that you’ll never arrive at a satisfying set of answers. All of the evidence in the case in which he was convicted for culpable homicide—and later, murder—in 2014 was circumstantial. No one alive knows the why of what actually happened except Pistorius himself, but the new ESPN 30 for 30 four-part film, The Life and Trials of Oscar Pistorius, about the event as well as Pistorius’ career as a double-amputee runner, […]
Errol Morris is one of non-fiction cinema’s all-time greats, a godfather of modern true crime thanks to 1988’s The Thin Blue Line, which famously got Randall Dale Adams off of death row. So when he says that another murderer is innocent of the crimes for which he’s been convicted, it’s necessary to listen—if not to instinctively believe him. And yet A Wilderness of Error, FX’s five-part adaptation of Morris’ 2012 book of the same name, makes a far from convincing case, raising plenty of doubt about whether the illustrious filmmaker was, in this instance, on the wrong side of the truth.

A Maryland man was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Wednesday over a 2018 incident in which he shot a Black man in a Baltimore suburb and reportedly told him to “go back to Africa.” Brandon Higgs, the white man sentenced, was found to have links to white supremacist groups during the investigation, according to John Magee from the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office. According to court records, 26-year old Higgs was found guilty in January of attempted voluntary manslaughter, first-degree assault, firearms charges and hate crimes during the altercation in a Baltimore suburb where he shot Elvis Smith in […]
Earlier this year, a survivor of sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein filed a lawsuit claiming the financier and his alleged accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, groomed her for sex in the 1990s starting when she was 14. The woman, referred to as Jane Doe, also claimed Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago and asked the future president, “This is a good one, right?” (Doe did not accuse Trump of any misconduct.) On Monday, a federal judge put Doe’s lawsuit on hold pending the resolution of Maxwell’s criminal trial, scheduled for July 12, 2021. Maxwell, who is a defendant in Doe’s suit, is facing […]
It took nearly two hours for Carole Baskin to get thrown to the tigers. It was an excruciating wait. Like a big cat stalking its prey, the Dancing With the Stars producers waited a full 117 minutes before going in for the kill, stringing along the scores of new lookie-loo viewers who, judging by the sudden social media interest in the creaky 29th season premiere of the show, were tuning in for a reality-TV snuff film: the televised humiliation of the year’s most notorious TV star. They got just that, too. Baskin’s paso doble, danced with laughable predictability to Survivor’s “Eye […]
The FBI’s top terrorism cops took down a different kind of alleged terrorist in a complaint filed earlier this month: an incel. In a complaint filed in federal court in White Plains, New York, an FBI agent with the Bureau’s Joint Terrorism Task Force detailed a year-long campaign of harassment, rape, and death threats levied at a Long Island couple by David Kaufman, a self-described member of the “incel” movement and supporter of one of its most notorious murderers, Elliot Rodger. Prosecutors alleged that Kaufman terrorized a couple he knew from college and their friends in a series of messages on […]

On the night of June 24, 2009, Michael Jackson finished rehearsing for a set of comeback performances and returned to his rented mansion in Holmby Hills, a posh neighborhood on Los Angeles’ Westside. The King of Pop’s personal doctor, Conrad Murray, arrived at the residence shortly after midnight. Around 14 hours later, Jackson was pronounced dead—with no evidence of foul play. Two months later, the Los Angeles County coroner ruled Jackson’s death a homicide owing to the lethal amount of drugs found in his system—mainly propofol, a powerful anesthetic, and lorazepam (also lidocaine, diazepam, ephedrine, and midazolam). And despite his gaunt […]
Smith & Wesson is proving to be a chief beneficiary of the violence and unrest plaguing the country’s big cities, as the largest US handgun maker posted record quarterly sales amid surging demand for firearms. Gun sales in the company’s first fiscal quarter, ended July 31, jumped 141 percent from a year earlier to a record $230 million, Smith & Wesson said late Thursday. The firm also set an all-time quarterly high for guns shipped out, more than doubling to 584,000 units, as production was ramped up and inventories were drained. “The current increase in consumer demand for firearms is in […]
The man suspected of fatally shooting a supporter of the right-wing Patriot Prayer group during demonstrations in Portland last weekend was killed late Thursday when a task force came to arrest him, The New York Times reports. Citing three law enforcement officials, the Times said Michael Forest Reinoehl was killed in Lacey, Washington. There were no details about the circumstances that led to his death, apart from the fact that authorities had attempted to arrest him in the wake of an arrest warrant being issued earlier in the day. Reinoehl, a 48-year-old anti-fascist activist who was a fixture at recent anti-racism […]
Paul Krugman, the Nobel prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist, has figured out that the doom and gloom over rampant violence and lawlessness in the largest US city is unfounded hysteria over a “nonexistent crisis.” All he needed to find the truth of the matter and prove the alarmists wrong was to go for a jog in the city Wednesday morning. “Am sorry to report that I saw very few black-clad anarchists,” Krugman tweeted after his run. “Also, the city is not yet in flames.” I went for a belated NYC run this morning, and am sorry to report that […]
In the podcast Whistleblower, which released its first episode on August 27, journalist Tim Livingston takes on a major sports scandal that has mostly been swept under the rug with a mix of savvy PR and media incentives. In 2007, former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was arrested for betting on hundreds of games, including several that he refereed himself. Donaghy was convicted and sentenced to 16 months in jail, but to this day maintains that he never fixed any games by making bogus calls; rather, he used his knowledge of the NBA as more of a league of entertainment than true […]

On a nondescript April night in 1990, 21-year-old Dale Wayne Sigler walked into a Brazoria County, Texas, Subway shop and robbed it of $400. When the man behind the counter, John William Zeltner Jr., attempted to flee into the back room, he was shot six times. The “overkill” nature of the crime implied that the two weren’t mere strangers, and the ensuing revelation that Sigler knew Zeltner helped convince a jury that not only was he guilty of the crime—to which he confessed, after being apprehended—but that the execution had been premeditated. For this senseless slaughter, Sigler received the death penalty, […]

Both stabbings involved black men attempting to murder random white strangers for the color of their skin.

Biden said Trump plans to cut $500 million from the 1994 crime bill he co-authored but which critics say put more black people in jail.

I think they need more help, they need more assistance,” he said. Trump levelled that accusation after several Democrat-controlled city councils moved to defund their police departments amid the wave […]

In a screed against cancer doctors, “men’s rights” attorney Roy Den Hollander saved some venom for a particular woman judge. “All of this was a nice stressful addition since it occurred in the middle of preparing for oral argument in a federal case before a lazy and incompetent Latina judge appointed by Obama,” he wrote. Den Hollander did not name the judge, but he might as well have, for he says the proceedings were held on Dec. 4, 2018. That is the date that he had a 90-minute hearing in Newark federal court before Judge Esther Salas. Source link

Under existing laws, upskirting was deemed a minor offence punishable only by a small fine. Minister Christine Lambrecht, who championed the legislation, welcomed […]

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to overtake America, dozens of headlines are suggesting that social distancing and lockdowns could be causing a surge in child abuse.

During months of closed schools and shelter-in-place orders, such parents have also been tasked with full-time child care, a recipe for conflict in the […]
