'Vigilante' Ryan Naumenko avoids jail after exposing Mildura's 'creeps' online

A convicted criminal has avoided jail time for pretending to be a teenager online in an attempt to expose Mildura's "creeps".

Key points:

Ryan Naumenko, 38, pretended to be a teenager on a gay dating app to meet up with older men

Naumenko then posted details of the men online

Naumenko was spared prison time, despite his prior convictions

Ryan Victor Naumenko, 38, was sentenced to a community corrections order on Monday after he told the Mildura Magistrates Court he had "turned his life around" and no longer wanted to be associated with a life of crime.

Naumenko was facing three charges relating to incidents in February 2019 when he and three others set up fake profiles on the gay dating app Grindr, in which they pretended to be 14 or 15-year-old boys, and arranged meetings with adult men under the pretense of wanting sex.

Naumenko then posted text exchanges and details of the men to a website and Facebook page called Mildura Creep Catchers.

Naumenko told police the group had arranged to meet up with 12 people, however only six followed through.

It was to 'protect the kids'

In one instance, Naumenko arranged to meet a 54-year-old man at the Mildura Water Park, where he also took a photograph of the man's car and later posted it online.

He told police he wanted to "protect the kids of Mildura" and did not know that what he was doing was illegal.

The court heard the Facebook page and website were shut down after receiving significant attention from the community and local media.

"We didn't feel we were breaking laws. If we had known, we would have done differently," Naumenko told the court.

"I didn't do this to hurt or embarrass. I thought it was noble, in a way."

The court heard Naumenko had several prior convictions and had served 16 days in prison for trafficking cannabis in 2015.

VICE Interviews American-Israeli Settler Jacob Fauci Of "If I Don't Steal It Someone Else Is Going To" Fame

VICE has managed to snag an interview with Jacob Fauci, a Jewish New Yorker from Long Island who went viral for telling a Palestinian woman complaining about him stealing her home that "If I don't steal it someone else is going to steal it."

On Wednesday, VICE released an piece with both Fauci and the woman having her home stolen in Sheikh Jarrah.

Fauci told VICE he was "chosen" by a US-based group, Nahalat Shimon International, to occupy the home and "make sure that this neighborhood is not lost in any future peace deal."

He refused to say whether he paid rent to live in the home. It seemed to be implied that NSI is actually paying him just to occupy their land.

Fauci said that whether he or a "giraffe" or a "monkey" lives in the house Palestinians are "not coming back into this house ever."

Partial transcript:

VICE: So, your position here is a political position to keep Palestinians out of it?

FAUCI: Not to keep Palestinians out of it, to keep Jews in it.

VICE: And therefore keep the Palestinians who were here out of it.

FAUCI: No That's not No.

That's a– That's a necessary evil.

[…]

FAUCI: And they're not coming back in here.

So, whether I'm here, whether I'm not here, whether it's me, whether it's someone else, whether it's a monkey, whether it's a giraffe, they're not coming back into this house ever.

"Since the 1990's, right-wing settler organization Nahalat Shimon International has vigorously fought for the eviction of Sheikh Jarrah's Palestinian residents, and the subsequent replacement of them with groups of Israeli settlers," Mondoweiss reported earlier this month.

Mondoweiss continued: "So far, the group has been successful in every one of their endeavors in the neighborhood, and with the backing of the Israeli district court and full support of the Israeli authorities, have displaced more than 67 Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah, and continue to seek the imminent displacement of around 87 more."

"In addition to the six families under threat of immediate expulsion, an Israeli district court also ruled earlier this year that seven other families in the neighborhood should leave their homes by August 1st."

"In total, 58 people, including 17 children, are set to be forcibly displaced from Sheikh Jarrah to make way for Jewish settlers this year alone."

Cotton demands NIH 'come clean' about funding for Wuhan virus lab and origins of COVID-19

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called on the Biden administration to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for covering up the origins of COVID-19 as the hypothesis that the virus originated in a Wuhan virology lab gains mainstream credibility among scientists.

In an interview on "Sunday Morning Futures" on Fox News, Cotton discussed a letter he signed with seven other Republican lawmakers including Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) pressing that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for answers on allegations that the U.S. funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology to make pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 deadlier or more easily transmissible.

During a May 11 Senate hearing on the pandemic response, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci denied that NIH has ever funded "gain of function research" at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Fauci said that $600,000 in NIH subgrants that were diverted to the Wuhan Institute of Virology by a nonprofit group called the EcoHealth Alliance were used to study coronaviruses in bats and were not used for gain of function research.

On Sunday, Cotton told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that Dr. Fauci was "playing word games" with the NIH funding.

"Dr. Fauci has been to Congress, and he said this absolutely did not happen. But Dr. Fauci is playing word games," Cotton said. "So, the money that the NIH gave went to an American organization, which turned around and gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to these Wuhan labs to investigate coronaviruses and, yes, to find ways to make them more contagious and more dangerous."

"And we asked [NIH Director] Francis Collins, who's Dr. Fauci's boss, to come clean, to tell us exactly what was happening, why this research was being funded, as you point out, Maria, during a time in which the Obama administration had explicitly banned this kind of gain of function research, research into making some of the world's deadliest pathogens even more dangerous," he added, suggesting that some "public health bureaucrats" may have violated the Obama administration's 2014 moratorium on gain of function research.

Pro-Trump group demands Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger retract 'defamatory claims'

Look Ahead America says Raffensperger falsely said group's executive director believed thousands of dead people's identity used in 2020 elections.

A nonprofit group run by former Trump campaign and administration officials has sent a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger demanding he retracts "defamatory claims" about the nonprofit's executive director and voter integrity project.

Attorneys for the group, Look Ahead America, said in their letter that Raffensperger made defamatory remarks about Executive Director Matt Braynard and the group’s Voter Integrity Project during a January 2020 call with then-President Donald Trump.

In the phone call, which was leaked to The Washington Post, Raffensperger allegedly told Trump that Braynard believed over 5,000 dead people's identities had been used to vote in the 2020 election in Georgia illegally.

Braynard's attorneys say he never made such claims.

"Your statement is false," the attorneys' letter said. "As Mr. Braynard has never claimed that 5,000 dead people voted in the Georgia election. In fact, in November 2020, Mr. Braynard publicly stated that his analysis did not find a targeted effort to cast the ballots of deceased voters."

Braynard said in a statement that Raffensperger "told a straight-up lie to President Trump and the public regarding the work I and LAA’s Voter Integrity Project submitted to his office."

Preference or Prejudice? Federal Court Finds Biden Administration Is Engaged In Racial and Gender Discrimination

Below is my column in The Hill on the recent decision of a federal judge that the Biden Administration was engaged in racial and gender discrimination in the administration of the pandemic relief under the American Rescue Plan Act. It is a question that is now being raised in a variety of federal programs under the Biden Administration.

President Biden has spoken out often, eloquently and passionately against the “ugly poison” of discrimination and racism in our government. So a ruling by a federal district court in Texas this week was particularly jarring: Judge Reed O’Connor found that the Biden administration engaged in systemic gender and race discrimination to implement COVID-19 relief for American restaurants. Café owner Philip Greer had claimed in a lawsuit against the Small Business Administration (SBA) that, while white, he needs the same rescue as minority restaurateurs under the newly enacted American Rescue Plan Act.

Greer’s Ranch Café reportedly lost over $100,000 during the pandemic. Like many restaurateurs, Greer was delighted to hear about the Restaurant Restoration Fund approved by Congress. However, he soon learned that, due to his race, he could not be considered until other applicants were allowed to seek funds. The White House and the Democratic-controlled Congress insisted that various groups should be first in line, including women, minorities and “socially and economically disadvantaged” people.

The government confirmed that $2.7 billion already has been distributed through the fund and that there are almost 150,000 pending applications from owners with preferential treatment. As a result, owners like Greer fear not just delayed payments but the exhaustion of the $28.6 billion allocated under the program. The SBA confirms it already has requests for $65 billion in payments under the fund.

The Biden administration agreed that such classifications, particularly based on race, must satisfy the highest constitutional burden of “strict scrutiny.” That means such classifications are unconstitutional unless they are “narrowly tailored” to serve a “compelling governmental interest.” However, the Justice Department cited studies that women and minorities historically have fewer lender resources and, before the pandemic, often were less likely to receive credit. There is ample support for that claim. The legal question is whether historical disparities are enough to justify a system of race and gender preferences when all restaurants were impacted by the pandemic.

In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled that a minority set-aside program in Virginia was unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause. The government cited historical barriers for minority enterprises, but the court balked. It noted that “identified discrimination” in the past “would give … government license to create a patchwork of racial preferences based on statistical generalizations about any field of endeavor.” When using racial classifications, the divided court stressed that “simply legislative assurances of good intention cannot suffice.”

Judge O’Connor relied on such precedent to declare the enforcement of the criteria for COVID-19 relief to be raw racial and gender discrimination. His ruling can be appealed, but it highlights a concern over a variety of state and federal COVID-19 programs enforcing racial and gender criteria. In Oregon, a state COVID-19 program for black businesses, called the Oregon Cares Fund, was challenged by a Mexican-American café owner and others under the Equal Protection Clause. While legislative counsel and some legal experts raised concerns over the constitutionality of the law, a trial court rejected the challenge. Other such cases are continuing.

NYT’s Haberman Blames Trump Admin for Media Discrediting Theories of COVID-19 Origins — ‘Made This Instantly Political’

Monday on CNN’s “New Day,” New York Times White House reporter Maggie Haberman weighed in on the mounting evidence that suggests COVID-19 originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Dr. Anthony Fauci has even said he is “not convinced” the coronavirus developed naturally after first pushing back against the theory.

According to Haberman, former President Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are to blame for the theory immediately being shot down by the media because they burned their own credibility “over and over again.”

“A lot of the discussion about the lab leak, I think, was clouded early on because there was a suggestion by some that it was somehow a Chinese weapon that caused this,” host John Berman posed to Haberman. “That’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about a lab accident. But we’ve come a long way from people dismissing this as a conspiracy theory to a lot of people taking this seriously, Maggie.”

“Look, I do think that it’s important to remember that part of the issue when this was first being reported on and discussed back a few months after the pandemic had begun, then President Trump and Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State, both suggested they had seen evidence that this was formed in a lab and they also suggested it was not released on purpose, but they refused to release the evidence showing what it was. So because of that, that made this instantly political,” Haberman replied.

“I think this was, you know, example 1,000 when the Trump administration learned when you burn your own credibility over and over again, people are not immediately going to believe you, especially in an election year,” she added. “However, that does not mean it’s not worth discussing.”

Pompeo: Fauci Had the Same Information I Had When He Dismissed Lab Leak Theory

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that he was outraged to see government scientists dismissing the possibility of COVID-19 originating from a lab “when they surely must have seen the same information that I had seen. That includes, certainly, Dr. Fauci as well.”

Pompeo said, “I made remarks over a year ago now, in early May of 2020, talking about this risk. And it was outrageous to see scientists, even government — U.S. government scientists who were denying this when they surely must have seen the same information that I had seen. That includes, certainly, Dr. Fauci as well. We need to know what happened here. The Chinese Communist Party knows what happened here. They know who patient zero was. They know precisely where this began.”

He added, “I am confident that we will find that the evidence that we have seen to date is consistent with a lab leak, and I’m convinced that’s what we’ll see. If I’m wrong, I hope the Chinese Communist Party will come forward and make a fool out of me.”

WATCH: Fauci Brags of Private Calls With Chinese Communist Party Researchers.

Dr. Anthony Fauci engaged in private phone calls with Chinese researchers regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, despite the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director’s recent attempts to distance himself and his agency from Chinese labs potentially linked to the origins of COVID-19, The National Pulse can reveal.

The relationship Fauci divulges during an event at the Council on Foreign Relations in February 2020 undercuts the top pandemic advisor’s recent claims that his agency has no ties – via funding or personnel – to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

At the event, “Coronavirus Outbreak and Global Health Threats,” Fauci was pressed by a Radio Free Asia journalist on why he “trusts the information China is providing” related to the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak.

“Today, I do for the following reason,” he begins before alleging that the Chinese Communist Party isn’t silencing doctors who share COVID-19-related information that goes against party narratives:

“What has changed in China is that the Chinese officials have been more than adamant about actually punishing people who are holding back information, whereas early on, there was a reluctance and a hesitancy on the part of the scientists to talk about what really is going on there.”

“So, there was a phase early on where the people who I knew – people that I’ve dealt with for years – who were very concerned about speaking out publicly, they would speak to me over the phone, but they wouldn’t speak publicly. Now they feel that the government is giving them the free rein to be completely transparent,” Fauci continues.

The private phone calls with researchers knowledgeable of the outbreak – perhaps from the Wuhan Institute of Virology – are at odds with Fauci’s insistence his agency never collaborated on gain of function research relevant to COVID-19. The unearthed comments also follow The National Pulse highlighting the Wuhan Institute of Virology erasing mentions of both gain of function research and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) from its website.

Concerning an international investigation into the origins of the virus, Fauci emphasized the importance of being “sensitive” to Chinese officials, reiterating “we’re guests in their country”:

“We’re very sensitive to the Chinese wanting to be the ones that make the statements, where these people are and where they’re going because we’re guests in their country. And although it’s an understandable question, “tell me who’s there and where they are and where they’re going,” we would prefer for you to have that from the Chinese because you don’t want to get ahead of the Chinese because what we don’t want them to do is to pull back on the offer of having our people there.”

Biden State Dept: “No Guarantees” Gaza Aid Won’t Boost Hamas’s Terror Arsenal.

A Senior State Department official today accepted that aid from President Biden’s regime to Gaza may end up replenishing the terror arsenal of Hamas – the Iranian funded group which has refused to conduct elections since 2006.

The group – designated a terrorist entity by the United States, the Organization of American States, Japan, Israel, the EU, and Canada – may now find itself on the receiving end of Biden State Department largesse.

Speaking earlier on Monday, the State Department spokesman was asked: “How can the U.S. guarantee aid to Gaza won’t be diverted toward replenishing the Hamas arsenal?”

The shocking answer? “No guarantee.”

In full, the State Department senior official claimed:

“…we’re going to be working in partnership with the United Nations and the Palestinian Authority to kind of channel aid there in a manner that does its best to go to the people of Gaza. I’m also sure that the Government of Egypt will have some role in that. As we’ve seen in life, as we all know in life, there are no guarantees, but we’re going to do everything that we can to ensure that this assistance reaches the people who need it the most.”

The admission will no doubt stun regional U.S. allies, as well as rankle the few members of Biden’s own political party who have taken a more pro-Israel line.

Vox Stealth Edits March 2020 Article "Debunking" Lab Origin Of COVID

Left-wing website website Vox has been caught stealth editing an old article from March 2020 “debunking” the lab origin of COVID following numerous prominent officials now saying the lab origin is a distinct possibility.

Writer and investor Paul Graham documented the edits, tweeting, “Some of the stealth edits that Vox made to its article debunking “conspiracy theories” that Covid-19 originated in a lab leak between its original publication in March 2020 and now.”

The edits include removing the words that the virus definitively did “not come from the Wuhan lab” and saying that the fact the virus emerged in the same city in which the lab is located “appears to be pure coincidence” rather than the previously more definitive “is pure coincidence.”

“Vox is editing it articles “debunking” the coronavirus lab leak theory. These edits aren’t being disclosed to readers,” tweeted Mike Cernovich. “Vox is a disinformation website.”
