Journalist Ronan Farrow, who wrote the initial exposé on now-disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein for The New Yorker, has published a new piece with some shocking allegations. According to his report, Weinstein spent more than a year using private investigators to track actresses and journalists in an effort to stop his predatory behavior from going public.
The New Yorker article alleges that Weinstein hired firms like Black Cube, which is largely made up of former officers from Mossad and other Israeli intelligence agencies, to look into women who could potentially go on the record about his sexual harassment and assault — and to look into journalists working on similar stories, including Farrow himself.
The goal: to “target” and suppress anyone who might come forward to ruin Weinstein’s reputation, according to the report.
A representative for Weinstein denied to the outlet that anyone was targeted or suppressed at any time. Reps for Weinstein did not respond to Fox News when reached for comment.
Two private investigators from Black Cube reportedly got information from actress Rose McGowan, who has been an outspoken critic of Weinstein and has publicly accused him of rape since exposés from The New York Times and The New Yorker were published in which many women came forward to tell their respective stories about Weinstein’s predatory nature.

A picture of a hunter grinning broadly with a dead snow leopard slung over his shoulders has prompted a now-viral online petition calling for him to be “brought to justice.”
American trophy hunter Hossein Golabchi, nicknamed “Soudy,” is seen in a photo that has been circulating on social media, posing with the dead endangered animal with two shots in its hind leg. Golabchi, who is originally from Iran, is believed to have killed the animal in central Asia.

The Care2 petition was launched by Amanda W. of TERA International (Tiger Exotic Animal Ranger Awareness), an organization focusing on the preservation of exotic animals. Amanda started the petition on International Snow Leopard Day 2017 in hopes that “by International Snow Leopard Day 2018 [Golabchi] is brought to justice,” the petition says.
Amanda points out in the petition that, “There’s nowhere in the entire Western Hemisphere (and the rest of the world) that allows anyone to go into Central Asia to ‘trophy hunt’ a snow leopard.” (Read more from “Trophy Hunter Slammed for Rare Snow Leopard Kill” HERE)

By The Sun. The Texas mass shooter, who opened fire on worshippers in First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs killing 26 and injuring 20 others, contacted his father to tell him he “wasn’t going to make it” before allegedly taking his own life, according to reports.
Time magazine reports that 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley told his father he was “shot and didn’t think he was going to make it” before he died from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. An autopsy will determine the official cause of death.
One of the men who chased and shot at Kelley following the incident said he grabbed his gun after his daughter told him she heard gunshots coming from the church.
“I kept hearing the shots, one after another, very rapid shots — just ‘pop pop pop pop’ and I knew every one of those shots represented someone, that it was aimed at someone, that they weren’t just random shots,” Stephen Willeford, 55, said in an interview with 40/29 News.
Mr Willeford said he loaded his weapon and ran straight to the church and began shooting at Kelley. (Read more from “Texas Shooter’s Last Phone Call” HERE)

Authorities: Texas Church Shooter Had Three Gunshot Wounds
By Holly Yan and AnneClaire Stapleton. Devin Patrick Kelley, the gunman who killed 26 people at a Texas Baptist church, suffered three gunshot wounds, including a self-inflicted shot to the head, Texas authorities said Monday.
Kelley, 26, was also shot in the leg and torso by an armed citizen, said Freeman Martin of the Texas Department of Public Safety, citing autopsy results.
It was not immediately clear whether Kelley died from the self-inflicted gunshot wound or from being shot by the resident.
A day after the worst mass shooting in Texas history, the US Air Force and Department of Defense said they are probing how records of a domestic violence conviction the gunman received while in the Air Force — which would have disqualified him owning a firearm under federal law — were handled.

A California school is being accused of violating a number of laws regarding student privacy and parental notification for allowing a reporter access to children to quiz them about their sexual activities and then publish the results, including quotes from minors.
The issue in the Fresno Unified School District was outlined in a letter the Pacific Justice Institute sent to district officials just days ago.
The student interrogations, approved by school officials, were conducted by Mackenzie Mays of the Fresno Bee.
A state law mandates medically accurate, unbiased sex education, including lessons on contraception, HIV and sexual consent, the newspaper said.
The questions included age, where students learned the most about sex, whether they were taught about abortion, the LGBTQ agenda, how to get condoms and whether they have had sex. (Read more from “School ‘Violates Student Privacy’ With Sex Survey” HERE)
Archaeologists have uncovered a mysterious enclosure hidden deep inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
The massive cavity stretches for at least 30 metres and lies above the grand gallery, an impressive ascending corridor that connects the Queen’s chamber to the King’s in the heart of the historic monument. It is the first major structure found in the pyramid since the 19th century.
It is unclear whether the void is a chamber or a corridor, or whether it played any more than a structural role in the pyramid’s construction – such as relieving weight on the grand gallery below. But measurements show that it has similar dimensions to the grand gallery, which is nearly 50 metres long, eight metres high and more than a metre wide.
Scientists discovered the void using sensors that detect particles known as muons, which rain down on Earth when cosmic rays slam into atoms in the upper atmosphere. The muons travel at close to the speed of light and behave much like x-rays when they meet objects. Armed with suitable equipment, researchers can used them to reveal the rough internal structure of pyramids and other ancient monuments.
“We know that this big void has the same characteristics as the grand gallery,” said Mehdi Tayoubi at the HIP Institute in Paris, a non-profit organisation that draws on new technology to study and preserve cultural heritage. “It’s really impressive.” (Read more from “Archaeologists Discover Mysterious Void Deep Within Great Pyramid of Giza” HERE)

A 34-year-old Berks County man is accused of killing a 19-year-old girl earlier this week after she told him “no” when he asked her to marry him.
Christopher Ryan Tucker, 34, of Albany Township, allegedly confessed to the crime when he was arrested in Illinois Wednesday night.
Authorities say Tucker fled Pennsylvania after committing the murder earlier this week. His car broke down in Illinois and authorities say he then attempted to steal a motorized combine from a farm. The farmer was on the property and called authorities.

The German army has war-gamed the break up of the European Union in study of security crises that could face the country by 2040.
Military planners in Berlin played out a scenario in which a growing number of countries follow Britain in leaving the EU, resulting in an “increasingly disorderly” world, Der Spiegel reported.
“The EU enlargement has been largely abandoned, more states have left the bloc,” strategists wrote in a study cited by the magazine.
“The increasingly disorderly, sometimes chaotic and conflictual world has dramatically changed the security policy environment for Germany and Europe.”
Der Speigel said the study could inform German armaments programs in the next several years. (Read more from “German Army ‘Plans Break up of E.U.’ in War Game” HERE)

‘Hero’ Neighbor Got His Rifle, Shot at Texas Church Gunman
By New York Post. A concerned neighbor who heard the Texas church massacre unfolding on Sunday went and grabbed his rifle and tried to stop it — opening fire on the shooter and chasing him down in a stranger’s truck, a report says.
The man, who has not been publicly named, is being hailed online as a “hero” after state officials described his actions during a press conference.
A resident told the local ABC affiliate KSAT that he teamed up with her boyfriend and the two gave chase for several minutes inside his truck before the alleged gunman, Devin Kelley, eventually crashed the car he was in.
Authorities said the armed neighbor may have saved countless lives by opening fire on Kelley and forcing him to flee the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs during his 11:30 a.m. massacre. (Read more from “‘Hero’ Neighbor Got His Rifle, Shot at Texas Church Gunman” HERE)
