African Migrants Captured by Libyan Gangs Were ‘Cooked Like Kebabs’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former Nigerian government official has come forward to tell the story of how Libyan slave traders captured African migrants, and cooked them “like kebabs.”

Former minister of culture for Nigeria Femi Fani-Kayode said many migrants from Africa traveled to the Mediterranean to improve their lives but ended up being enslaved instead, International Business Times reported Wednesday.

Three out of four people captured by these gangs hail from southern Nigeria, Fani-Kayode said. Nigeria has the largest Christian population in Africa, according to Pew Research Center.

“75% of those sold into slavery in Libya who have their organs harvested, bodies mutilated and who are roasted like suya [a kebab] are from southern Nigeria,” Fani-Kayode wrote. “Roasted alive! This is what Libyans do to sub-saharan Africans who are looking for a transit point to Europe.” (Read more from “African Migrants Captured by Libyan Gangs Were ‘Cooked Like Kebabs'” HERE)

Cliven Bundy Refuses to Leave Jail Amid Ongoing Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Cliven Bundy, the 71-year-old rancher who sparked a national debate over states’ rights, refused a federal judge’s offer to be released from jail during his ongoing trial on Wednesday.

Bundy, who engaged in an armed standoff with government agents over a cattle round-up in 2014, turned down the judge’s option of house arrest while others involved in the standoff are still jailed awaiting trial.

A federal grand jury in Nevada indicted Cliven and four others on 16 charges related to the armed standoff near his ranch over unpaid grazing fees last year.

U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro, meantime, said Ammon Bundy and co-defendant Ryan Payne can be freed Thursday to home detention.

The judge also said another Bundy son, Ryan, can now split time between home and a halfway house while serving as his own attorney in the case. (Read more from “Cliven Bundy Refuses to Leave Jail Amid Ongoing Trial” HERE)

Lauer Sexted Intern, Other Women at NBC; Video Catches Disgraced Reporter in the Act

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Nicole Darrah. Matt Lauer, the former NBC News anchor who was fired for “inappropriate sexual behavior,” has been accused of sexting network employees — including an intern.

Lauer, according to a New York Post report Wednesday night, allegedly sent “lewd messages and revealing pictures” to women working at NBC.

One of those women, an intern, is believed to have been the staffer who brought the news anchor’s career with the company tumbling down after she approached executives about an incident that allegedly occurred with Lauer during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The intern allegedly provided a photo “which was a major part of the evidence which is why the firing came so quickly.” It “was so damning that they had no other option but to fire him,” a source told the Post. The photo, sources told the Post, “showed incontrovertible proof of inappropriate sexual behavior on his part.”

Lauer’s sexual misconduct, however, reportedly didn’t end with the Olympics. His involvement with the intern continued after they returned home from Russia, the Post reported. (Read more from “Matt Lauer Sexted Intern, Other Women at NBC; Video Catches Disgraced Reporter in the Act” HERE)

Matt Lauer Caught Telling Meredith Vieira to ‘Keep Bending Over Like That’ in 2006 Video Clip

By Nicole Darrah. In a video unearthed by TMZ on Wednesday, former NBC News star Matt Lauer is seen and heard on camera whispering inappropriate comments to his then-co-anchor Meredith Vieira.

“Keep bending over like that, it’s a nice view,” Lauer told Vieira on the set of “The Today Show,” reportedly in October 2006.

The comments from Lauer, according to TMZ, were made when the NBC morning show cut to commercial — however, a local affiliate kept the show live on air with the network’s in-studio camera feed.

Lauer’s co-anchor in the video was initially identified as Katie Couric.

TMZ had posted another video earlier on Wednesday in which Couric, during a 2012 appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live,” said Lauer “pinches me on the ass a lot.” (Read more from “Matt Lauer Caught Telling Meredith Vieira to ‘Keep Bending Over Like That’ in 2006 Video Clip” HERE)

Amazon Just Released an AI-Powered Camera

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amazon’s newest product won’t tell you a joke or turn on your lights.

The new DeepLens camera is instead custom-built for artificial intelligence developers, who will be able to build AI systems on Amazon Web Services and have them run on the camera, according to the company. This means the camera itself will be able to recognize objects, look for faces, or label what actions people are doing, all without needing to call back to Amazon’s servers . . .

But the camera still has some limitations; it can detect if there are faces in the camera’s sight, but to process who those people are, it will need to call back to an Amazon cloud service that’s already been trained to know specific faces.

The grand jury testimony was postponed, the person said, with no reason given. There could be many reasons for a delay, including scheduling issues. (Read more from “Special Counsel Delays Grand Jury Testimony Amid Signs of Flynn Deal Talks” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

As part of its marketing program, the famous toy doll Barbie, made by Mattel, is going gay and advertising a pro-sodomy agenda by wearing a t-shirt that reads, in rainbow-emblazoned letters, “Love Wins,” which is the phrase promoted by LGBT activists and their allies.

The apparently “alternative lifestyle” Barbies wearing the “Love Wins” shirts are shown on the official @BarbieStyle Instagram account. This account is the project of Kim Culmone, Barbie’s vice president of design, and Robert Blest, Barbie’s director of design, according to Racked.

In response to the new campaign, The Washington Blade reported, “Barbie took a stand for LGBT rights in an Instagram post featuring the doll wearing a ‘Love Wins’ shirt.

“The post was part of celebrating Los Angeles-based fashion blogger Aimee Song who just got her own Barbie doll.”

“Song has designed a line of ‘Love Wins’ T-shirts with half of the proceeds benefitting the Trevor Project,” reported The Washington Blade. (Read more from “Barbie Promotes LGBT Agenda With ‘Love Wins’ T-Shirts” HERE)

Nude Game of Tag Filmed in Nazi Gas Chamber

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jewish Holocaust survivor groups demanded an explanation Wednesday from Poland’s president for a video of a naked game of tag in a Nazi gas chamber.

The video, called “Game of Tag,” was originally displayed in 2015 at Krakow’s Museum of Contemporary Art, and depicts a group of alleged artists playing tag while naked in the gas chamber of the former Nazi death camp Stutthof in Poland, according to Times of Israel (TOI). The museum initially displayed the video without explaining where it was filmed, but the Organization of Holocaust Survivors in Israel sent a letter to Polish President Andrzej Duda demanding an explanation after they found out where it was filmed.

The Jewish organizations that signed the letter demanded to know whether the Polish government had investigated the making of the video and whether the group that filmed the video did “obtain permission from the Stutthof administrators to make this video, what rules exist for proper conduct at the site, how these are enforced,” according to TOI.

Ben and Jerry’s Welcomes Refugees on Ice Cream

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s hard to keep track these days of the myriad instances of left-wing messaging that are pushed and promoted through our pop culture.

In an effort to justify their own hysteria during the presidency of Donald J. Trump, liberal influencers have made their creations and words more blatantly political, and even aggressive, toward those with whom they don’t see eye to eye . . .

Take Ben & Jerry’s, for example.

The company has not only put out multiple anti-Trump statements through its website and other public statements — it’s even produced packaging for some of its ice cream with a graphic that clearly reads, “Refugees Welcome.”

That’s right. Just as you’re looking to unwind from the day’s political frenzy and grab yourself a treat, you’re faced with yet another example of personal politics and platform pushing. (Read more from “Ben and Jerry’s Welcomes Refugees on Ice Cream” HERE)

McDonald’s Employee Charged in Florida Serial Killings

/0 Comments/in , /by

Shell casings and cell phone data link the man police arrested Tuesday to four recent murders in Seminole Heights, an arrest report shows.

The two-page report released Wednesday offers new details in the evidence against Howell Emanuel Donaldson III, the 24-year-old Tampa resident charged with four counts of first-degree murder.

Investigators found SIG Sauer brand.40 caliber shell casings at all four of the locations where Monica Hoffa, Benjamin Mitchell, Anthony Naiboa and Ronald Felton were found shot to death between Oct. 9 and Nov. 14, the report states . . .

It was that gun, according to the report, that Howell gave in a food bag to a coworker at an Ybor City McDonald’s on Tuesday afternoon, saying he planned to leave the state. The coworker turned the gun over to a Tampa police officer who was in the restaurant doing paperwork at the time. The Glock had a loaded magazine containing five unfired rounds of .40 caliber ammunition, the report says.

Donaldson told police that “no one except for himself had control of the Glock firearm since his purchase,” Detective Austin Hill wrote in the report. (Read more from “McDonald’s Employee Charged in Florida Serial Killings” HERE)

Even Supremes Wonder Why Abortionists Protected by Gag Order

/0 Comments/in , /by

Even U.S. Supreme Court justices are wondering why members of the National Abortion Federation are being protected by a California judge’s gag order on an undercover video in which an industry insider admits it’s “a person, it’s killing.”

The American Center for Law and Justice has confirmed the court has ordered the National Abortion Federation to respond to ACLJ’s petition for the court to review and reverse the order.

The undercover video was in a series released in 2015 by the Center for Medical Progress that show Planned Parenthood executives and other abortion-business insiders admitting they sell unborn baby body parts for profit.

The FBI is investigating Planned Parenthood, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions confirmed during a recent hearing that a senatorial probe could be the basis for eventual charges against the abortion-industry giant.

The current case is over an undercover video capturing statements from members of the National Abortion Federation. (Read more from “Even Supremes Wonder Why Abortionists Protected by Gag Order” HERE)
