Forensic scientists develop technique to identify pedophiles through their hands
A British forensic specialist has developed a way to identify pedophiles using only images of the perpetrator’s hands and the novel new system has already helped put a child sex abuser behind bars.
In 2014, Greater Manchester Police enlisted the help of forensic anthropologist Dame Professor Sue Black in an effort to solve a child rape case. The crime in question involved sick footage found on a computer belonging to Manchester man, Jeremy Oketch.
The video showed a man with his face obscured sexually abusing a two-year-old girl. While police investigators were sure that when they first questioned Oketch in July 2014 he was the perpetrator, officers feared that without an admission of guilt he could walk free.
Black and her forensics team were able to successfully show that custody images of Oketch’s hands matched those in the abuse video. The process is chronicled in BBC documentary ‘The Hands That Convicted A Paedophile’.
The forensic anthropologist says her system of identifying pedophiles from images where they have attempted to avoid detection centers on analysing skin pigment, scars, creases and vein patterns on a person’s hands.
“If we’re able to automate, then we would be able to use these algorithms that we’ll develop, to sift through the millions of images that are held on databases by police forces around the world,” she said of her attempts to roll out the system globally.
“The chances of you being able to link them before have been close to zero, but now you might be able to get to a point of being able to track where these perpetrators have been going around the world.”
In Oketch’s case, dark pigment under his ring finger nail as well as an indentation on one of his hands were key to the rapist changing his plea to guilty ahead of trial.
Oketch was sentenced to 15 years in March 2015 for the rape of the child, with the Greater Manchester Police issuing a statement that he “deserves every second he will spend in jail.”

Pinterest Moms Share Parfait Recipes Next to QAnon Memes
The conspiracy theory’s middle-aged fanbase is blurring the line between wholesome recipe sites and the seedy cartoon porn forums like 8chan.
8chan is an anarchic web forum that has historically played host to trolls, meme-makers, pornographers, and racists. Pinterest is a photo-cataloguing site beloved by moms saving weeknight dinner recipes.
At least that’s how it used to be.
But as a series of fringe-right conspiracy theories—particularly the bizarre and baseless QAnon conspiracy—find a growing audience in America’s baby boomer set, the boundaries between the “normie” web and the internet’s underbelly are bleeding. Nowhere is the strange alliance more visible than on Pinterest, where users share QAnon memes alongside pancake recipes, and on 8chan where irony-poisoned young trolls are mollified by an influx of earnest, middle-aged conspiracy fans.
8chan is ground zero for the QAnon conspiracy, which claims that an anonymous 8chan poster is actually a high-ranking military member dispensing secrets about the government. The vague and oft-debunkable posts falsely claim Donald Trump is not actually under investigation, but is actually helping Robert Mueller III investigate a satanic pedophilia ring in which virtually all prominent Democrats or Hollywood figures are involved.
It’s the stuff of spam email chains. But the conspiracy has ardent adherents. Recent Trump rallies have seen a wave of mostly middle-aged fans wearing Q apparel. The conspiracy has also spawned several real-world standoffs, including outside Tucson, Arizona, where a man baselessly claiming to be hunting child sex-traffickers has amassed a large online following. The man’s following, which funds him through mailed gift cards, is “mostly middle-aged white Christian women who fawn over his rants, tell him he has pretty eyes, and pray fervently for God to smite his critics,” JJ MacNab, an extremism expert who has been following the standoff wrote on Twitter.
Originally based on 4chan and 8chan, QAnon reached an older, less tech-savvy audience through Reddit and specialized blogs, run by people profiting off the conspiracy, NBC News reported. The conspiracy’s growing fanbase among what 8channers call “normies” (earnest people with generic consumption habits, who are typically excluded from internet in-jokes) led to its spread to “normie” social media. The pinnacle of normie social media is Pinterest.

Radioactive sheep boost claims of secret Israeli nuke test
Radioactive isotopes discovered by scientists in Australian sheep have added gravity to longstanding claims that a mysterious flash above the Indian Ocean 39 years ago was actually an illegal Israeli nuclear weapon test.
On September 22, 1979, US satellite Vela 6911 detected a ‘double flash’ near the Marion and Prince Edward Islands in the southern Indian Ocean. Ever since, there has been speculation that it was actually a nuclear weapon test carried out by Israel. According to the memoirs of then-US President Jimmy Carter, this was also the assumption of American generals who briefed him on the incident. The official position of the Israeli state is to neither confirm nor deny having a homegrown military nuclear program.
Now a new paper, published in the Science & Global Security journal, says radioactive isotope iodine-131 had been discovered in the thyroids of Australian sheep in the month following the so-called ‘Vela incident.’
Christopher Wright of the Australian Defense Force Academy and nuclear physicist Lars-Erik De Geer, who used to work for the Swedish Defense Research Agency, have analyzed thyroid samples that were sent monthly to the US in 1979. The information on test results was only recently made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act.
The isotope levels found in the sheep affected by rain four days after the incident, “would be consistent with them having grazed in the path of a potential radioactive fallout plume from a 22 September low-yield nuclear test in the Southern Indian Ocean,” the paper states.
The researchers said that the analysis of weather patterns suggests the fallout plume from a nuclear explosion would have carried over from the test site in the Indian Ocean to parts of Australian territory.

The assumption that a nuclear test took place in 1979 is also backed by the analysis of the declassified “hydroacoustic signal” from US underwater listening devices, the study added.
The research “removes virtually all doubt that the 'flash' was a nuclear explosion,” Leonard Weiss, nuclear weapons expert from the Stanford University, wrote in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
He pinpointed Israel as the responsible party because it was “the only country that had the technical ability and policy motivation to carry out such a clandestine test.” According to Weiss, it was just one of several aerial nuclear explosions performed by the Jewish state, which was detected by the US satellite due to an unexpected change in the cloud cover.
Researchers say the Israeli test was carried out in violation of the Limited Test Ban Treaty from 1963, and urge a large-scale international probe of the incident.
Israeli Ambassador to New Zealand Itzhak Gerberg denied the findings of the research in a comment to the New Zealand Herald, calling them “simply a ridiculous assumption that does not hold water.”
