Accused child molester extradited to NYC after fleeing to Israel in 2010

A Brooklyn man who fled to Israel in 2010 amid accusations of child molestation was extradited back to the Big Apple on Thursday, officials said.

Gershon Kranczer, 65, was arraigned at Brooklyn Supreme Court for the alleged sexual assault of two minor female relatives, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.

The suspected predator is accused of molesting one relative several times from August 1996 — when she was 6-years-old — to February 2003, prosecutors said.

Kranczer, of Midwood, is also alleged to have sexually abused an 11-year-old child between March 2001 and September 2002.

In 2010, as Kranczer was under investigation, he fled to Israel in an alleged bid to escape the law, prosecutors and sources said.

The NYPD alerted Interpol of Kranczer’s departure. The department’s Intel Bureau International Liaison Unit then got involved, coordinating with Israel police in an attempt to track down the suspect, sources said.

After spending over a decade overseas under the disguise of an alias, Kranczer was caught by authorities in February 2020, sources said.

Taylor-Greene Bill Calls for FULL Biden Immigration Moratorium, Cessation of All Migrants into USA.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene is set to release a bill calling for a full moratorium on migration into the U.S. and several other America First immigration measures, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

In addition to the moratorium, the bill would also reinstate hallmarks of the Trump presidency: the zero-tolerance policy, termination of chain migration, constructing a wall on the southern border, and more.

The bill focuses on protecting American workers and national security, as the moratorium would last throughout Joe Biden’s presidency and until Americans are able to return to work. The bill would also do away with Biden-era executive orders that have allowed for crime and human trafficking to increase at the U.S. border and reintroduce Trump-era policies.

Taylor-Green’s legislation comes as President Biden’s relaxation of Trump’s policies triggered a crisis at the border, including increasing durations of stay for unaccompanied children past the federal limit and over 100,000 migrants attempting to cross the border in just four weeks.

The bill also shortens the removal period for illegal aliens from 90 to 30 days, strip “sanctuary cities” of federal funding, and terminate Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

Concerning the southern border, the bill would either improve existing portions of wall or construct new panels through a 22-billion-dollar fund housed at the U.S. Treasury Department.

To enforce the variety of strict measures, Rep. Taylor-Greene would prohibit financial aid to countries whose citizens are either detained or deported by the U.S.

OANN Confirms Gateway Pundit Report – Shredded Ballots Found Over the Weekend In the Dumpster Were From 2020 Election

Our reporting from over the weekend was confirmed by OANN yesterday. Shredded Arizona ballots found in a dumpster over the weekend do indeed appear to be related to the 2020 election.

We reported on Sunday that the shredded ballots found in a dumpster over the weekend in Maricopa County were indeed from the 2020 election.

Per a report from OANN it does appear that these ballots were from the 2020 election:

OANN reported on the upcoming audit and the ballots found in the dumpster over the weekend. What may be as shocking as the the shredded ballots in the dumpster is the fact that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors reportedly loaded a truck full of ballots and no one knows where these ballots went before they eventually landed back at the center where the ballots were being stored. This illegal action by the County is clearly more cause for concern:

Biden Is Playing A Dangerous Game In The Middle East

Washington’s new Middle East policies looks like sandcastle. Targeting MBS means putting region at peril The new media frenzy about a possible full-out confrontation between the US Biden Administration and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a sign that Western political leaders are out of touch with reality.

Last week’s revelations published in a declassified report by U.S. security services on the role of MBS in the Khashoggi murder show not only the lack of proof available, but could also lead to a full divorce between Saudi Arabia and the U.S. A growing amount of Western media publications argue that the Saudi Crown Prince should not only be sanctioned, but that Washington also should reconsider its former in-depth cooperation with the Kingdom.

Several U.S. experts have been quoted in international media calling for a clear change in US strategy towards the Kingdom, including a possible removal of MBS as Crown Prince via support of former Saudi Crown Prince Bin Nayef or other Saudi royals. In a clear break with US power politics we’ve seen during the last decades, where the removal of third party power brokers was blocked, a new era seems to be looming on the horizon.

At the same time, Biden finds himself on a slippery slope regarding the ongoing confrontation with Iran, by putting additional sanctions on Iran but at the same time removing one of the region’s main Iranian backed armed groups, Yemen’s Houthi rebels, from the U.S. terrorism list. The results this policy change have already become very clear. A new aggressive drone and ballistic missile campaign has been started by the Houthis to hit Saudi strategic airports and oil infrastructure targets on the Red Sea and East Coast. The high-profile attack on Aramco oil infrastructure this week shows that the Kingdom is still under threat. Some even state that the attacks on the Eastern Province, Saudi’s main oil and gas production region, could not have been done without the full military and logistical support of Iran.

6 million jobs across the EU wiped out by first wave of Covid-19 pandemic – study

The first wave of the Covid pandemic eliminated six million jobs across the EU, particularly impacting sectors dominated by temporary contractors, young people and female employees, according to a study conducted by an EU agency.

Eurofound, which works to provide the EU with knowledge to help craft social, employment and work-related policies, investigated the impact the pandemic has had, with findings showing it did more damage at times than the 2008-9 financial crisis.

While the study showed that the ability to work from home and support provided by governments across the bloc helped to protect some jobs, it also saw some workers become inactive in their professional career, rather than be factored into unemployment statistics.

“In the 12 months leading up to spring 2020, EU employment declined by 2.4%,” the study found, with “the share of workers employed but not working more than doubled to 17%,” and weekly hours for employees falling, on average, by “nearly one hour.”

Eurofound suggested that the findings reflect the risk of another “lost generation” being created after “younger workers experienced the sharpest declines in employment,” urging governments to look at ways to rectify the damage caused by the Covid pandemic.

The survey also expressed concerns about the potential exacerbation of existing inequalities, as the jobs that are likely to be protected by remote working in urban environments are more likely to be held by better educated workers.

Q4 2019 employment figures stood at 201 million workers, according to Eurofound, with the unemployment rate increasing from 6.6 percent at that point to 6.7 percent in the latest round of data.

Pakistan blocks China’s TikTok after complaint over ‘indecent content’

A previous ban in October was lifted within 10 days after the company vowed to block all accounts involved in spreading ‘obscenity and immorality’

TikTok is one of the most-downloaded apps in Pakistan behind WhatsApp and Facebook.

Pakistan

on Thursday blocked the popular social media app TikTok

after a court order over a complaint that it ran indecent content, a spokesman for the country’s telecoms regulator said.

“The court has asked PTA to block access to TikTok,” Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) spokesman Khurram Mehran said, adding that the authority would comply with the order.

A high court in the northwestern city of Peshawar said it ordered the ban after a private complainant said the social media app was spreading indecent content, said Jehanzeb Mehsud, a lawyer who represented the PTA.

The service providers have been directed to immediately block access to TikTok, the regulator said in a statement.

Special Prosecutor Investigating Portland DA for Biased Prosecution of Joey Gibson–Will It Be Legit?

The legal team for Joey Gibson, the leader of Patriot Prayer who was accused of riot crimes in Portland in 2019, released a statement on Thursday announcing that the district attorney has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate his actions in the prosecution of the case. Several questions have arisen to call the whole process into doubt.

In the statement, Gibson’s legal team said:

Special Prosecutor Investigating District Attorney Mike Schmidt for Biased Enforcement

Yamhill County D.A. Brad Berry has been assigned as special prosecutor to oversee an investigation into political and religious bias in the prosecution of Joey Gibson and Russell Schultz for violation of the Oregon anti-riot statute, ORS 166.015 during a political protest held outside the former Antifa hangout known as Cider Riot in Portland.

While a state court judge has found Mr. Gibson’s conduct to be within the protections of the First Amendment, and a federal judge recently declared that both “[Gibson and Schultz] make compelling arguments that their conduct does not rise to the level of ‘tumultuous and violent’ conduct under ORS 166.015,” District Attorney Schmidt has insisted on the continued prosecution of Gibson and Schultz despite turning hundreds of Antifa rioters loose for actual violent conduct.

Gibson and his co-defendant, Russell Schultz, asked a federal court to halt Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt’s prosecution against them, claiming the prosecution is politically motivated. (The state prosecution is still ongoing.) The Oregonian reported on February 26 that U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut ruled that while Gibson and Schultz had a compelling case, they could make that argument in state court. Immergut dismissed their federal case:

Schmidt announced in August that he wouldn’t prosecute people involved in “current protests” in Portland on a riot charge without an accompanying allegation of property damage or use of force. He wasn’t district attorney when the Cider Riot case occurred.

Although Gibson and Schultz “make compelling arguments” that their conduct didn’t rise to “tumultuous and violent” conduct as defined by the state’s riot charge, they haven’t shown that the charges are “meritless” to warrant federal court intervention, Immergut found.

Immergut wrote that no compelling evidence existed to mistrust the state court, or to conclude that Schmidt prosecutes people based on their viewpoints, yet she also ruled that gaps existed in the application of the DA’s policies:

Immergut did cite gaps in the argument provided by Schmidt’s lawyer, Assistant Attorney General Jill Schneider, in defending Schmidt’s protest prosecution policy.

Immergut wrote that Schmidt’s lawyer “completely ignores” Gibson’s and Schultz’s argument “that the fact that no Antifa members were charged in the Cider Riot incident on May 1, 2019 shows animus toward Plaintiffs’ viewpoint.”

The judge also said she heard Schmidt’s lawyer for the first time raise “resource considerations” as a justification for Schmidt’s August protest prosecution policy “without offering any evidence to support her position.”

“To the extent that the policy was indeed an effort to address the resource constraints brought about by hundreds of arrests during the summer protests, the policy is poorly written and should have clearly stated that,” Immergut wrote.

“Despite defense counsel’s deficient arguments, this Court finds that the record does not establish that the prosecutions against Plaintiffs were brought in bad faith such that this Court should intervene in the state court prosecution,” Immergut wrote.

"Don't Go Down The Rabbit Hole" - NYTimes Decries Critical Thinking, Tells Americans To Trust Google Instead

A new article from the New York Times claims that instead of engaging with someone that challenges your worldview, you should “resist the lure of Rabbit Holes” and go to more authoritative sources such as Google and Wikipedia.

The New York Times appears to have declared war on traditional critical thinking, which they say “isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation”.

Sharing the insights of “a digital literacy expert” named Michael Caulfield, the article reads as follows:

“We’re taught that, in order to protect ourselves from bad information, we need to deeply engage with the stuff that washes up in front of us,” Mr. Caulfield told me recently. He suggested that the dominant mode of media literacy (if kids get taught any at all) is that “you’ll get imperfect information and then use reasoning to fix that somehow. But in reality, that strategy can completely backfire.”

In other words: Resist the lure of rabbit holes, in part, by reimagining media literacy for the internet hellscape we occupy.

What Does The New York Times Suggest We Do Instead?

Caulfield argues that the best way to learn about a source of information is to “leave it and look elsewhere”, by seeing how that source of information measures up to the existing status quo.

For further clarification, the New York Times’ “digital literacy expert” provides us with an example by investigating a post (which they do not offer any link to) made by Robert F Kennedy Jr on Instagram:

He copied Mr. Kennedy’s name in the Instagram post and popped it into Google. “Look how fast this is,” he told me as he counted the seconds out loud. In 15 seconds, he navigated to Wikipedia and scrolled through the introductory section of the page, highlighting with his cursor the last sentence, which reads that Mr. Kennedy is an anti-vaccine activist and a conspiracy theorist.

In short, the New York Times and their “expert” are telling us that instead of investigating the claims of someone that challenges the status quo and our understanding and perception of reality, we should instead avoid them and go directly to the authorities to tell us what to think.

Atlantic Council Ignored Anti-Corruption Activist’s Warnings About Burisma, The Ukrainian Firm Linked To Hunter Biden

An anti-corruption activist in Ukraine warned a top U.S. foreign policy think tank against partnering with Burisma Holdings, according to newly released State Department emails.

Despite the warning, the Atlantic Council ultimately took at least $300,000 from Burisma and hosted several events with the energy firm.

Burisma’s partnership with the Atlantic Council came as it was trying to repair its image in the West following investigations into the firm’s owner, the Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky.

As part of the charm offensive, Burisma tapped Hunter Biden to serve on its board of directors.

A top foreign policy think tank in Washington, D.C. rejected warnings from a Ukrainian anti-corruption activist against forming a partnership with Burisma Holdings, the energy firm linked to Hunter Biden that has faced allegations of corruption.

Daria Kaleniuk, the executive director of a Ukrainian group called the Anti-Corruption Action Centre (AntAC), contacted John Herbst, a director at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, on Jan. 20, 2017, and asked him to reconsider plans to work with Burisma, newly released State Department emails show.

Kaleniuk alleged that Burisma was using the Atlantic Council to “clear up its reputation” following bribery investigations into the firm and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky.

The activist said the Atlantic Council’s partnership with Zlochevsky “is a very painful backblow for us, and … for many other good people in Ukraine who strive for reforms.”

Kaleniuk forwarded the emails she sent to Herbst to State Department officials. The documents were published by the agency in response to Freedom of Information Act requests.

Burisma announced its partnership with the Atlantic Council on Jan. 19, 2017. In its press release, Burisma hyped the Atlantic Council’s prominence in the think tank world.

Burisma called the council “one of the top U.S. think tanks” and a “high-profile organization.” Herbst, who served as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2003 to 2006, was referred to as a “respected diplomat.”

The think tank boasts a deep roster of former U.S. military leaders and government officials. Herbst is one of numerous diplomats who serve as advisers or directors to the Atlantic Council.

Burisma ultimately gave the Atlantic Council $100,000 a year from 2017 to 2019, a spokesman for the think tank told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Bokhari: Congress Wants to Give the Establishment Media a Massive Handout

If there is one force in society worse than Big Tech, it’s Big Media – mainstream, establishment, and corporate media.

Yet a bill currently making its way through Congress would give a massive handout to the latter, ostensibly justified by criticism of the former.

The bill, introduced by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), is titled the “Journalism Competition and Preservation Act of 2019,” and it is a particularly troublesome piece of legislation, even by Democrat standards.

The title of a bill is quite deceptive. Far from promoting “competition,” the current version would instead cement the advantage of the establishment and corporate media at the expense of its competitors.

It would give Big Media companies a special exemption from antitrust law, allowing them to form a cartel that would, under normal circumstances, be illegal to create. But why should these establishment news companies be given a special exemption from antitrust law to negotiate on their own behalf something that applies only to their select few and not to all news companies and journalists? Of course, they should not.

Furthermore, there is nothing in the bill that would prevent the bigger media companies from excluding smaller companies from the cartel. If passed, there would be nothing to stop the formation of a cartel that includes CNN, NBC, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other big companies, while excluding smaller competitors in the independent media — not to mention local newspapers. Such a cartel would secure favorable rates for the former while leaving the latter in the dust.

But even if a favored nations clause were inserted into the bill — meaning that whatever deal they negotiated on their own behalf would have to apply to all news companies and journalists — there would still be the troublesome secondary issues that the bill leaves unsatisfactorily unanswered. What qualifies as news — for example, are two journalists doing fantastic work and publishing their own articles on substack a “news company?” What qualifies as “high-quality news?” And most importantly, who gets to decide? The bill leaves that decision in the hands of alternatively Big Tech or Big Media — and everyone should be able to agree neither should be permitted to make that determination.

In short, the bill is yet another egregious power grab by the legacy media, as they desperately try to keep themselves relevant in the age of the internet.

They know that they need to force Big Tech companies to give them an advantage in order to maintain their position, and that’s precisely what this bill is intended to do.

It also reveals the relentlessness of the corporate media. They are determined to secure every possible advantage for themselves, even though Big Tech spent the last four years voluntarily giving them an unfair advantage.

The corporate media, overwhelmingly liberal, pushed for this Big Tech censorship regime and applauds it — they know that as long as the “disinformation” panic endures, the tech companies will artificially promote their stories, a practice now openly admitted to by the tech companies.
