Mysterious Radiation Cloud over Europe Traced to Secret Russian Nuclear Accident

/0 Comments/in , /by

A vast cloud of nuclear radiation that spreadover continental Europe in 2017 has been traced to an unacknowledged nuclear accident in southern Russia, according to an international team of scientists.

The experts say the cloud of radiation detected over Europe in late September 2017 could only have been caused by a nuclear fuel-reprocessing accident at the Mayak Production Association, a nuclear facility in the Chelyabinsk region of the Ural Mountains in Russia, sometime between noon on Sept. 26 and noon on Sept. 27. . .

The lead author of the new research, nuclear chemist Georg Steinhauser of Leibniz University in Hanover, Germany, said that more than 1,300 atmospheric measurements from around the world showed that between 250 and 400 terabecquerels of radioactive ruthenium-106 had been released during that time.

Ruthenium-106 is a radioactive isotope of ruthenium, meaning that it has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus than the naturally occurring element has. The isotope can be produced as a byproduct during nuclear fission of uranium-235 atoms.

Although the resulting cloud of nuclear radiation was diluted enough that it caused no harm to people beneath it, the total radioactivity was between 30 and 100 times the level of radiation released after the Fukushima accident in Japan in 2011, Steinhauser told Live Science.

These Are the Horrifying Allegations Pedophile Epstein Received Before ‘Injury’ in Prison Cell

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Just one day before registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was found injured in his prison cell with minor marks around his neck, he apparently had been provided court documents alleging he had raped a 15-year-old girl.

CNBC reported that Epstein had been served legal documents, which outlined the claims of Jennifer Araoz, who says the millionaire financier raped and assaulted her in his New York City mansion while she was a high school student in 2001. NBC reported Araoz’s story on July 10, in which she claimed a young woman approached her outside of her high school and began speaking about a wealthy man she knew. This woman accompanied Araoz to Epstein’s mansion a few times, where they spoke with Epstein about the young girl’s desire to become a Broadway actress and the death of her father.

When Araoz visited the mansion alone, Epstein gave her a tour, including his “favorite room in the house” that consisted of a massage table on the floor and a “painting of a nude young woman” on the wall, according to NBC. Epstein, according to Araoz, paid her $300 to give him massages while wearing just her underwear “that ended with him pleasuring himself to completion,” NBC reported. She did this for over a year before Epstein began asking her to remove all her clothes and touching her. . .

She said she never went back to the house after she says he raped her and spent years dealing with the trauma of what happened. Araoz did not contact authorities at the time or since, and is not included in the original indictment against Epstein. She is now preparing to sue Epstein but wants a judge to allow her attorneys to depose Epstein in order to determine the identification of the woman who recruited her when she was a teenager. . .

Epstein was provided the documents on July 22. On July 23, he was found in his prison cell with marks around on his neck. NBC reported that two sources told the outlet Epstein it looked like he may have tried to hang himself. Another source questioned whether Epstein staged the injuries — which were minor — in an attempt to get transferred to another prison. Yet another source told the outlet that it may have been an assault and that his cellmate was questioned. The cellmate’s attorney told the outlet that his client and Epstein got along.

Government Approves Bringing Animal-Human Hybrids to Term

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .After years of planning, the persistent researcher has at last received approval from a government willing to pursue one of the most controversial scientific studies there is: human-animal embryo experiments.

While many countries around the world have restricted, defunded or outright banned these ethically-fraught practices, Japan has now officially lifted the lid on this proverbial Pandora’s box. Earlier this year, the country made it legal to not only transplant hybrid embryos into surrogate animals, but also to bring them to term.

As a lead stem cell researcher at the University of Tokyo and Stanford University, Nakauchi has gone from country to country, chasing his dream of one day growing customised human organs in animals like sheep or pigs. . .

That ultimate goal is still a long way off, but the next step in his research has at last been given the green light by ministry officials in Japan. As the first researcher to receive government approval since the 2014 ban, Nakauchi plans on taking things slowly so that public understanding and trust can catch up. . .

The goal is for the rodent embryo to use the human cells to build itself a pancreas, and for two years, the team plans on watching these rodents develop and grow, carefully monitoring their organs and brains in the process. Only then will the researchers ask for approval to do the same with pigs. (Read more from “Government Approves Bringing Animal-Human Hybrids to Term” HERE)

Cummings Turns down Trump Administration’s Invitation to Tour Baltimore HUD Facility

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) declined to tour a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) facility in Baltimore with HUD Sec. Ben Carson amid a heated exchange with President Donald Trump over the city’s dilapidated conditions.

Carson extended an invitation to Cummings on Tuesday to tour a HUD-run housing project in his home congressional district and assess the city’s longstanding and escalating rodent infestation. Cummings subsequently passed on the opportunity.

“Secretary Carson’s office invited Congressman Cummings yesterday evening,” a source familiar with the situation confirmed to the Daily Wire. “The Congressman was unable to join due to scheduling conflicts.”

Trump ignited a firestorm a week earlier after he criticized Cummings for bullying Border Patrol agents over the conditions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities along the southern border while his own congressional district in Baltimore is a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”

The president immediately faced widespread backlash over what many on the left side of the aisle attributed as racially-motivated accusations. In response, Trump doubled down on the remarks and accused Democrats of always playing “the race card.”

California Looks to Keep Trump off the Ballot in 2020 with Constitutionally Questionable Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

Well, California has joined the effort to try and force President Trump’s hand on his tax returns. It’s one of the many fronts in the Democrats’ war against this White House. Trump didn’t release his tax returns during the 2016 election, citing an ongoing audit. The Golden State now has a law that will prevent a candidates name from appearing on the ballot if they don’t release their returns (via NYT):

President Trump will not be eligible for California’s primary ballot unless he releases his tax returns, under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday.

The law requires that all presidential candidates release their tax returns in order to be placed on the ballot for the state’s primary next year, in a move that will almost certainly lead to legal challenges. Mr. Newsom’s decision to sign the legislation seemed designed to escalate a running feud between the White House and California.

The state is currently involved in more than 40 lawsuits with the Trump administration on issues ranging from environmental regulation to immigration.

The California State Legislature approved a similar measure in 2017, but Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed it, questioning whether it was constitutional. Mr. Brown, who left office in January, also said it would create a precedent for requiring other information — including medical records or certified birth certificates — from candidates.

Illegal Alien, Wrongly Given Temporary Amnesty, Arrested for Molesting Minor

/0 Comments/in , /by

Another child was allegedly sexually assaulted multiple times by a Central American illegal alien who should have been deported, had our laws been properly implemented.

Yesterday, Customs and Border Protection announced that the U.S. Marshals’ Fugitive Task Force, working with a local Border Patrol agent, arrested an illegal alien from El Salvador in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on three counts of first-degree rape against a child between 2014 and 2016.

While every illegal alien crime, by definition, is avoidable if we had the proper border and interior enforcement in place, this case has an extra wrinkle to it. Andres Fuentes-Castro, 44, according to CBP, was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol-New Orleans Sector agents in 2007 during a traffic stop in Baton Rouge. He would have been deported and this alleged sexual assault would never have occurred, but Border Patrol found he was given Temporary Protected Status (TPS) as a Salvadoran national under the El Salvador TPS program. His status later expired in 2010 and was not renewed, rendering him a fugitive alien for nine years for not departing the country.

If our laws were functioning the way Congress designed them, Fuentes-Castro would have been deported in 2007. TPS was not designed to be an amnesty program for illegal aliens; it was designed as a sixth-month temporary stay for those who are here legally but can’t return home because of an intervening natural disaster.

El Salvador was granted that status in 2001 because of an earthquake. That status, pursuant to law, should have been terminated within six months or at most after 18 months of extensions under “extraordinary circumstances” (clearly lacking here). It should have applied only to very few people who happened to be in the country traveling during the earthquake. But instead, it was handed out to over 200,000 Salvadorans, far more than any other TPS-designated country, and is still being used 18 years later!

Why? Because it has been handed out to illegal aliens in the country, a complete debasement of the 1990 law Congress passed. The reason why El Salvador has the most TPS recipients is not because there happened to be 200,000 Salvadorans traveling on tourist visas visiting Disney World on January 13, 2001, when the earthquake struck. It is because that is the TPS-designated country with the most illegal aliens.

In 2007, Fuentes-Castro should never have had this status as an illegal alien, certainly not six years after the earthquake. But a number of criminals and particularly MS-13 members (who largely come from El Salvador) have been allowed to remain in the country against statute and commit countless avoidable crimes. Previous administrations violated the plain letter of the law. President Trump vowed to change this, and indeed ended TPS for certain countries, but has continued it for El Salvador at the behest of an extraordinarily lawless court ruling that defies multiple statutes, including one stripping the courts of jurisdiction over the issue.

Rather than clamping down on TPS abuse, Republicans and Democrats in Congress as well as some in the administration are seeking to expand this policy to Venezuela at a time when illegal immigration is increasing from there.

Also in Louisiana, on the same day, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry announced that another illegal alien was arrested on child sex charges. ICE has placed a detainer on Tomas Gabriel Chox-Lopez, who was caught in a child porn sting by state and federal law enforcement and charged with seven counts of possessing pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13.

Earlier this year, Miguel Martinez, an illegal alien who had previously been deported in 2005, was arrested in Louisiana on 100 counts of possession of pornography involving juveniles under the age of 13 years old, one count of production under the age of 13, and one count of sexual battery of a juvenile under the age of 13.

Often, illegal aliens remain in this country and are not deported after their first interaction with law enforcement because of sanctuary cities. In the case of Andres Fuentes-Castro, it was because of lawless federal executive policies that are against statute. Enforcing existing laws would go a long way in preventing rampant horrible crimes like this. Is it too much to ask that we not import other countries’ child molesters?

James Comey Kept Memos About Conversations with President Trump at His House (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

During congressional testimony back in June 2017, fired FBI Director James Comey admitted to leaking potentially classified memos about his conversations with President Trump. Comey said he gave them to a friend, who then gave them to the New York Times.

“I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night, because it didn’t dawn on me originally, that there might be corroboration for our conversations, might be a tape, my judgement was that I needed to get that out into the public square and so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter,” Comey said at the time. “I didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons, but asked him to, because I thought that it might prompt the appointment of a Special Counsel. I asked a close friend of mine to do that.”

. . .

“Judicial Watch announced today it received six pages of records from the FBI showing that in June, 2017, a month after FBI Director James Comey was fired by President Donald Trump, FBI agents visited his home and collected “as evidence” four memos that allegedly detail conversations he had with President Trump. One of his memos was written on June 6, a month after he was fired,” the group released in a statement Wednesday. “Comey was fired by Trump on May 9, 2017. The memos obtained by Judicial Watch were collected from Comey by the FBI on June 7, a month later, and are dated February 14, 2017; March 30, 2017; April 11, 2017; and one is dated “last night at 6:30 pm.” (Read more from “James Comey Kept Memos About Conversations with President Trump at His House” HERE)

Senator Reveals Heinous Criminals Released via ‘Catch-And-Release’ at Border

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Department of Homeland Security treats the expanded “Flores” decree like God’s word, releasing any illegal alien who crosses the border with a child, even if border personnel can’t confirm identities, criminal records, or whether they are threats Americans or to the children they’re using as golden tickets.

Senator James Lankford, R-Okla., announced at yesterday’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing that border agents told him, on his recent trip to the border, that they found in two separate incidents that an alleged murderer and a convicted pedophile had each been released with a kid as part of the expanded Flores catch-and-release deadline of 20 days.

In one case, “they released an adult with a child and then found out two weeks later that that adult had a murder warrant in their home country, and they just released him into the country, and they could do nothing about it.” In another case, “they had released an adult traveling with a child and then found out after they were released when they got their criminal records in from home country that, that was a convicted pedophile from that country now traveling with a child somewhere in our country, and because we couldn’t detain them for longer than 20 days and we couldn’t get those criminal records, they’re released in the country, and they’re traveling with a child.”

When Lankford asked acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan whether border personnel were able to verify criminal status within the arbitrary 20-day deadline by the courts, he answered, “Not efficiently.”

The reality is that these people are coming straight out of rural Central America and countries with extremely unreliable data. All they have to do is give a name and they are home free, thanks to a court order that defies the 1996 immigration law passed unanimously by the Senate stating that these people “shall be detained.”

Thus, the threat of those coming in as “runners” and “gotaways” while Border Patrol is strategically tied down by the cartels with the family units is obvious. All of those with massive criminal records who were previously deported now have a freer lane than ever to come right back in.

But it’s even more disquieting that would-be criminal migrants are so emboldened by the notion that we will give amnesty to anyone with a kid that a number of those coming with family units are criminals. Every day, I see stories from CBP on how they caught criminals, particularly those convicted of child sex crimes, coming in openly with groups surrendering to agents.

Just yesterday, for example, Border Patrol arrested a previously deported Guatemalan who had been “convicted of Lewd or Lascivious Conduct and Failure to register as a Sex Offender on July 31, 2015, in Jacksonville, Florida.” According to Border Patrol in Tucson, the alien convict, 52-year-old Pedro Nolasco-Garcia, was traveling “with” a group of 16 women and children who surrendered to agents.

I asked a border agent why someone would be so dumb as to come in knowing that CBP will discover his record. He told me that he is forced to release criminals or people whose status could not be verified all the time because of the rush to release anyone who comes with a child. “The entire focus is on treatment of the children, to the detriment of not only America’s security, but these children as well,” said the agent, who patrols the hardest-hit areas of the Rio Grande Valley. The agent in Texas, who is on an evidence collection team and administers fingerprints, told CR that they are catching many adult males who come with one child (not an entire family fleeing persecution) who think that despite their criminal record, they will benefit from catch-and-release.

“And they are not entirely wrong,” said the veteran agent, who must remain anonymous because he is not authorized to speak to the media.

“In every single group, almost without fail, there is someone with a criminal record, typically males with single kids,” the agent said. “There is a wide misconception about the majority of these people being females. They are overwhelmingly male. While we try to prioritize referrals for prosecution based on criminal history, we only have so many computers we can utilize and so many staff members.”

When I asked him if that means there are those with confirmed criminal records, even with convictions in the U.S., who have been released, he said, “Absolutely. … They are given a notice to appear in court like anyone else.”

According to Department of Homeland Security investigators, in a letter from DHS to a member of the House Oversight Committee obtained by CR, there were enough criminal convictions (just from their previous time in the U.S.) among the January 2019 caravan members to account for roughly one quarter of the entire group! Homeland Security Investigations identified a total of 860 people with U.S. criminal convictions among the 3,345 people who left Honduras, including “22 individuals convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, 27 individuals convicted of sexual offenses.” They also identified 47 gang members.

“So many of those coming here now have no records in the NCIC and are from countries that don’t share information with us,” said the agent I spoke to. “We literally have no idea who they are before we release them. They just give us a random name and birthdate and we have no way of verifying it.”

Why is the federal government giving foreign nationals a right to invade with such a dangerous scam of using children when the law actually says the opposite? Nothing in the Constitution can ever compel such carnage, but this policy emanated from a single California judge expanding the original settlement, which a Texas judge agreed doesn’t apply to cartel smuggling. And consider that 97.7 percent of family units are not even coming through California. Most are entering in Texas!

Also, consider the fact that well over 208,000 aliens have been released since Dec. 21, and we have no idea who they are. Thankfully, Border Patrol catches murderers, sex offenders, and gang members every day. But if those are the fish that are caught, one can imagine how many are in that pond and how few we catch when the net is so small and thin.

Watch: AOC Excuses Palestinian Violence Against Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an interview on a popular New York radio program earlier this week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., excused Palestinian violence against Israel, arguing that marginalized groups “have no choice but to riot.”

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking on Ebro in the Morning, explained her opposition to Israeli policies toward Palestinians, suggesting that Palestinian violence is a response to the conditions created by those policies.

“Once you have a group that is marginalized … once someone doesn’t have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot,” Ocasio-Cortez said. She expanded on this point, saying poor communities in the United States or Latin America likewise have no choice but to act out violently because of their circumstances.

“I’m not even talking about Palestinians,” she said. “I’m talking about communities in poverty in the United States, I’m talking about Latin America, I’m talking about all over the world.”

“Social destabilization is what happens when people do not have a plan or feel like there’s no vision for their future,” she added.

Encouraged by the radio hosts, Ocasio-Cortez pushed back against accusations from conservatives that anti-Israel Democrats are anti-Semitic.

“The right wants to advance this notion that if you engage in critique of Israeli policy, then you are anti-Semitic,” she said.

“The same way that me criticizing Trump doesn’t make me anti-American, criticizing the occupation doesn’t make you anti-Israel,” she continued. “It doesn’t mean that you are against the existence of a nation. It means that you believe in human rights and it’s about making sure that Palestinian human rights are equal to Israeli human rights.”

First, Ocasio-Cortez is drawing a moral equivalency between Palestinian terrorists who instigate riots and fire mortars at Jewish kindergartens and Israeli Jews who are victims of that violence. There is no moral equivalency. As Israeli PM Netanyahu has said time and time again, if the Palestinians wanted peace with Israel, they could have it, and the condition for having it is accepting Israel’s existence. They don’t want peace because they hate Jews and will not accept the existence of a Jewish state. The enmity between Palestine and Israel isn’t about equal human rights; it’s about one group violently rejecting the other’s right to exist.

Second, Ocasio-Cortez has subscribed to a myth about Israel occupying Palestinian territory. That’s a lie. Under international law, Israel has the unambiguous right to the land AOC, echoing Palestinian propaganda, claims the Jewish state is occupying. The truth is there has never been a sovereign state of “Palestine,” there is no such state today, and because Israel has a legal claim to Judea, Samaria, and Eastern Jerusalem, there is no “occupation.”

Thirdly, the Palestinians engaging in violent acts against Israel are not doing so out of desperation or because of their circumstances. From a young age, Palestinian children are indoctrinated to hate Israelis. They are taught a false Arab-supremacist history that denies the Jewish people’s historic connection to their homeland. Their government subsidizes the families of convicted terrorists who commit acts of violence against Israelis. The Palestinians can choose peace, but they are taught to choose violence — and rewarded for it.

Excusing Palestinian violence under a blanket ideological belief that “marginalized” groups “have no choice but to riot” is appallingly ignorant, and yes it is anti-Semitic. It is anti-Semitic because support for Palestinian claims about Israel are based on lies about Jewish history taught by an institutionalized system of hateful indoctrination that encourages and supports terrorism against the Jewish people and denies the world’s only Jewish state its right to exist.
