Fired-up Mark McGowan shames revellers who go to Christmas lunches instead of getting tested and warns anti-vaxxers will DIE

Mark McGowan has publicly shamed revellers who are ignoring pleas to get tested for Covid ahead of Christmas Day on Saturday.

The typically blunt WA premier also warned anti-vaxxers will die if the virus goes onto spread at a rapid rate across the state.

'The mandates we are putting in place are to ensure that vulnerable people who work, who are in hospitals, disability centres and aged care centres, are protected as best we can,' Mr McGowan said in a press conference on Friday.

'Our critical industries are protected as best we can. That is what the mandates are about. It is about protecting the community.'

Mr McGowan said he 'understood' some residents will push back on the request to be vaccinated, before stressing being double jabbed was 'not about individual rights'.

'This is about protecting and helping everybody. And saving industries and lives more broadly across the community,' he said.

'And those who are out there protesting and taking matters to courts, all that thing, they are fundamentally selfish people. They are about them. They are not about broader community. The need to have a good hard look in the mirror about their behaviour.'

Mr McGowan continued: 'If and when Covid gets here, some people (non vaccinated) will die', before adding those who refuse to get tested are putting the lives of their elderly relatives in danger ahead of Christmas lunches if they have unknowingly acquired the virus.

Earlier on Friday, Western Australia announced five new Covid cases amid fears a French backpacker has sparked an outbreak in the state.

It came as Premier McGowan introduced new restrictions and tightened the state's borders on Friday amid what is believed to be a Delta variant outbreak.

Authorities said one of those infected is a close contact of the backpacker, who attended a Mess Hall Event attended by 400 other people in Northbridge on Sunday, December 19.

Bradford child sex abuse: Arrests made in Yorkshire and London

A total of 16 men have been arrested in West Yorkshire and London as part of a police investigation into allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse.

The men, aged between 33 and 60, were interviewed as part of a month-long operation concerning reported abuse in Bradford, West Yorkshire Police said.

The offences are alleged to have taken place in the district between 2002 and 2009 and relate to one female victim.

The men have been released pending further inquiries, the force added.

Det Ch Insp Alan Weekes, of West Yorkshire Police, said the investigation formed part of the force's work looking at both current and non-recent sexual offences against children.

"We would urge anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse, whether recent or historic, to report it to the police", he said.

"Please be assured you will be listened to, taken seriously and supported by professionals with experience of dealing with these kind of offences."

California laws delay capture of child predators as crimes skyrocket in Fresno County

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KGPE) – Fresno County has seen a significant increase in crimes against children. Authorities report they’ve received more than 4,000 cyber tips this year alone, the highest number ever.

A team of six detectives with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office is doing a job that helps local parents sleep better at night, catching child predators. Day in, day out, they sift through thousands of pornographic images of children, an already tough job that just became more difficult.

Lieutenant Brandon Pursell says recent case laws in California are slowing the process of putting predators behind bars. Law enforcement says it’s hard to hear what happens to children in these cases, but it is important to listen to and learn from them.

“In order to catch these predators, sometimes you have to go into that world, which is hell, and find them,” explained Lt. Pursell.

Internet Crimes Against Children, known as ICAC, is a network of 61 task forces across the country, with one here in the Central Valley.

“They are spending their day looking at the worst possible content that anyone could possibly imagine. That is their job,” Lt. Pursell said.

Their job is to intensively review thousands of tips and hunt down the people responsible for sharing and producing pornographic images of children. The workload of these detectives has grown tremendously, with the number of tips growing by 50% compared to previous years.

“The amount of work these detectives have is just mind-blowing. Just today, we had more than 180 cyber tips and that’s just today,” said Lt. Brandon Pursell.

That’s 180 images tracked online through ICAC, which are pinged back to the Central Valley for investigators to follow up on.

Notable arrests this year led by the Fresno County ICAC Task Force include the arrest of Guadalupe Soto Junior of Fresno, charged for possessing more than 100 images of infant molestation.

19 Child Solicitation Charges Filed Against 10 In Police Sting

Fairfax County Police filed 19 felony child solicitation charges against 10 men as part of a sting operation targeting online predators.

Fairfax County Police Department filed 19 felony charges against 10 men ranging in age from 18 to 51 from Northern Virginia and Maryland over the last two weeks, according to a police blog post.

The arrests were made as part of a sting operation run by detectives from the Major Crimes and Organized Crime and Intelligence Bureaus seeking to identify and apprehend online predators.

In each case, the accused initiated an explicit conversation online to solicit sex from a detective who was posing as a child. The suspect then agreed upon a place to meet, where detectives then took him into custody.

"Even during this holiday season, there are those who would prey against our most vulnerable, our children," said Maj. Ed O'Carroll, bureau chief of the Major Crimes, Cyber and Forensics Bureau, in a blog post. "Fortunately for our community, our detectives remain steadfast to ensure the safety of our children. These crimes have no place in our society and certainly not here in Fairfax County."

South Korea's President Moon pardons disgraced former president Park amid tight presidential race

South Korea's President Moon Jae-in has granted a pardon to imprisoned former president Park Geun-hye amid a tight presidential race.

Key points:

Conservatives had been pushing for Park's release due to her ailing health

In January, South Korea's top court upheld a 20-year prison sentence for Park, who had been found guilty of corruption

President Moon had previously pledged not to pardon those convicted of corruption

Park, 69, became South Korea's first democratically elected leader to be thrown out of office when the Constitutional Court upheld a parliament vote in 2017 to impeach her over a corruption scandal that also landed the heads of two conglomerates, including Samsung, in jail.

She was brought down after being found guilty of colluding with a friend to receive tens of billions of won from major conglomerates mostly to fund her friend's family and nonprofit foundations.

In January, South Korea's top court upheld a 20-year prison sentence for Park on the graft charges that finalised her downfall, bringing an end to the legal process.

Park's lawyer Yoo Yeong-ha said Park had offered an apology for causing concern to the public and thanked Mr Moon for making a difficult decision.

Mr Moon's office said pardoning Park was intended to "overcome unfortunate past history, promote people's unity and join hands for the future."

"I hope this would provide a chance to go beyond differences in thoughts and pros and cons, and open a new era of integration and unity," his spokeswoman quoted him as saying.

Mr Moon had previously pledged not to pardon those who were convicted of corruption.

WA Police officer wins injunction preventing him from being sacked over COVID vaccination

A WA Police officer has won a Supreme Court injunction preventing him from being sacked for refusing a COVID vaccination.

Key points:

Senior Constable Ben Falconer will keep his job until his case goes to trial

The Police Commissioner says he's still not allowed at police premises

Justice Jeremy Allanson says the court is not predicting the trial result

Ben Falconer, who has described himself as "pro-choice", had asked for a judicial review of disciplinary procedures regarding those officers who did not want a COVID vaccine.

Supreme Court Justice Jeremy Allanson has granted an injunction stopping the Police Commissioner from sacking Senior Constable Falconer until the case goes to trial.

Police Commissioner Chris Dawson said the ruling did not mean the officer could attend police premises.

"The decision of the Supreme Court is an interim decision and it only applies to a single police officer, not any other officers," he said.

"It does not affect the Chief Health Officer's order, so that means none of these police officers, this particular applicant will not be able to attend a police facility in the interim period."

The Commissioner said he did not want to make further comments on the matter while it was still before the courts.

Unvaccinated 'not diseased', court told

During the hearing on Thursday, counsel for the state Kenneth Pettit SC listed the benefits of vaccination, and said the applicant's inconvenience associated with being vaccinated was "not worth" one hospitalisation or lockdown.

Referring to 34 police workers who he said did not want to be vaccinated, he said the "burden" was not borne by the officers alone, as other workplaces were subject to directions.

Senior Constable Falconer's barrister said there was no evidence those who had not received the jab posed a threat to anybody, saying "people who are unvaccinated are not diseased".

USA Swimming official quits over transgender swimmer Lia Thomas: ‘I can’t support this’

A USA Swimming official resigned in protest of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, saying she can’t back a sport that allows “biological men” to compete alongside women.

Cynthia Millen, who had officiated USA Swimming meets for three decades, stepped down ahead of last week’s US Paralympics Swimming National Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina.

“I can’t do this,” Millen wrote in her resignation letter, the Washington Examiner reported Thursday. “I can’t support this.”

Millen is now hoping others in the sport will agree that Thomas, 22, has an unfair advantage over female competitors after coming out as transgender in 2019 following three years on the men’s team at the University of Pennsylvania.

Thomas has since smashed several Penn records this season – with one teammate finishing in second place in the 1650-meter freestyle some 38 second behind her.

“I told my fellow officials that I can no longer participate in a sport that allows biological men to compete against women,” Millen’s letter continued. “Everything fair about swimming is being destroyed.”

Millen said she would deem Thomas ineligible to compete if officiating a meet and called on her now-former colleagues to do the same.

“This is not right because by doing this, we’re supporting this,” Millen wrote. “There are no swim meets if there are no officials.”

Reps for USA Swimming did not immediately return a message seeking comment by The Post Friday.

Thomas, meanwhile, has said she’s taking an ongoing regimen of estrogen and testosterone blockers. She is eligible under NCAA rules to swim in women’s collegiate events after taking one year of testosterone suppressants.

“I just don’t engage with it,” Thomas said earlier this month of the widespread backlash regarding her performance. “It’s not healthy for me to read it and engage with it at all, and so I don’t, and that’s all I’ll say on that.”

Some of the “pushback” was expected, Thomas admitted.

Millen doubled-down on her criticism of Thomas Wednesday, telling Fox News allowing her to swim with women makes for unfair competition.

“Bodies swim against bodies,” Millen said. “Gender identities don’t swim.”

Men swim up to 12 percent faster than their female counterparts and have a greater lung capacity, the veteran swimming official said.

Thomas’ times in the water are now approaching records set by all-time Olympic greats like Katie Ledecky and Missy Franklin, Millen said.

“And nothing that Lia did by taking a year off to take testosterone suppression drugs – that does not change Lia’s body,” Millen said.

New York Democrats 'Make History' by Electing Convicted Killer as Party Nominee for State Assembly

A Harlem man convicted for manslaughter is likely to become the first convicted killer to enter the New York state Assembly.

Although the official vote for the 68th District Assembly seat is not until Jan. 18, having the Democratic nomination has historically been the equivalent of victory.

On Saturday, convicted killer Eddie Gibbs secured that nomination during a meeting of Democratic Party members, according to Patch. The seat, currently held by Robert Rodriguez, is open because Rodriguez has been appointed secretary of state. In the 2020 election, Rodriguez, the Democrat, received 89 percent of the votes.

Gibbs, 54, was convicted of manslaughter in 1988 after pleading guilty to killing Otis Frasier at Manhattan’s Johnson Houses, according to the Daily News.

In an unsuccessful 2010 campaign for the Assembly, Gibbs explained his side of the crime,

“I was defending myself in an altercation, and unfortunately, someone died,” Gibbs said. Gibbs said that he shot Frasier after being stabbed in the leg.

Gibbs served 5 1/2 years in prison.

Prior to his manslaughter conviction, Gibbs had a conviction for selling crack in the 1980s and was involved in a 1977 domestic violence case.

Since then, he has worked as a political consultant.

“What defines a person is not how he falls, but how he gets up,” Gibbs said, according to the Daily News.

In New York state, ex-convicts can run for office. In 2002, Gibbs was given a “certificate of good conduct” to remove most job barriers, although he still cannot own a gun.

In a Facebook post, Gibbs held himself up as an example.

“As a result of the remorse I showed and the mitigating circumstances, I was given a lenient sentence by the court. Until this day I am very apologetic and disappointed by my actions and do not make any excuses for them,” he wrote.

“I can also assure you that the 17 year old boy who made those poor decisions, those 35+ years ago, is not the man who stands here before you today,” he wrote.

More Hong Kong Universities Take Down Tiananmen Memorials

Two more universities in Hong Kong erased public artwork commemorating Beijing’s 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters, mainly students, known as the Tiananmen Massacre.

Just before dawn on Dec. 24, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) took down a statue depicting a woman holding a flame. The 21-foot tall bronze sculpture, named “Goddess of Democracy,” is a replica of a 30-foot tall white plaster and foam statue erected by art students and brought to Tiananmen Square in 1989.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of protesters were killed during the massacre under communist rule.

In memory of the fallen, the Hong Kong statue stood on the CUHK campus for over a decade since 2010. Yet the university said on Dec. 24 that it was never approved.

“The university never authorized the display of the statue on its campus, and no organization has claimed responsibility for its maintenance and management,” it said in a statement.

Later on Dec. 24, students at CUHK lit candles into the shape of the Goddess of Democracy, in response to the removal of the statue.

The same day, a relief sculpture portraying the crackdown disappeared from a wall at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. The bas-relief included images of a line of tanks halting before a lone protester known as “tank man,” and victims shot by Chinese troops being carried away.

A spray painting of the Goddess of Democracy at the student union on campus was also painted over in grey paint.

New York Governor Signs ‘Truth in Vaccination’ Law

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a package of legislation aimed at improving the state’s response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including making use of a fake vaccine card a crime punishable by up to 1 year in jail, or 3 years probation.

“We need to make sure we learn the lessons of the pandemic so we don’t make the same mistakes twice,” Governor Hochul said. “These new laws will help us improve our response to the pandemic now, crack down on fraudulent use of vaccination records, and help us better understand the areas of improvement we need to make to our health care system so we can be even more prepared down the road.”

Falsification of COVID-19 Vaccination Records:

Legislation (S.4516-C/A.7536-B adds clarification that a COVID Vaccination Card shall be considered a written instrument for purposes of the forgery statute which makes the falsification of COVID-19 Vaccination Cards​ a class D felony. It also creates a new E felony of computer tampering in the third degree for intentional entering, alteration or destruction of “computer material” regarding COVID-19 vaccine provisions. Individuals who misrepresent their vaccination history, not only jeopardize their own health, but the health of all those they come into contact with. This legislation ensures that as New York opens up and many businesses choose to rely on checking vaccination status, the falsification of vaccination records will not be tolerated.​

Senator Anna M. Kaplan said, “With the omicron variant putting our community at greater risk and threatening the progress we’ve made recovering from the pandemic, countless employers, schools, small businesses, and communities are relying on genuine proof of vaccination status as a tool to keep their spaces safe from COVID transmission. It’s never been more urgent that we protect this process from fraud so that the health and safety of the public isn’t compromised by bad actors using fraudulent vaccination cards or passports. The ‘Truth in Vaccination’ law will serve as a strong deterrent to prevent people from lying about their vaccination status, protecting public health, and ensuring our economic recovery can move forward. I’m grateful for Governor Hochul’s leadership in combating this crisis, and I’m thankful for my partnership with Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz to get this critical law passed through the legislature.”

NYC Mayor de Blasio Announces “Scaled Back” New Year’s Eve Times Square Celebration

NEW YORK — Mayor de Blasio today announced details for a ‘scaled back’ Times Square New Year’s Eve, with additional protections in place to ensure a safe celebration. In addition to requiring proof of full vaccination with valid photo identification and being fully outdoors, attendees will also be required to wear masks. Viewing areas will be filled with fewer people to allow for social distancing.

Made in consultation with health and medical experts, these additional safety measures will keep revelers safe and healthy as they ring in the New Year. The City, in partnership with Times Square Alliance will continue to monitor the situation and take additional precautions and measures in the coming days if needed.

“New Yorkers have stepped up tremendously over the past year—we are leading the way on vaccinations, we have reopened safely, and every day we work toward building a recovery for all of us,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “There is a lot to celebrate and these additional safety measures will keep the fully vaccinated crowd safe and healthy as we ring in the New Year.”

“New York is the best place in the world to celebrate New Year’s Eve and now it will be one of the safest against COVID as well,” said Mayor-elect Eric Adams. “The Mayor has made the right move to take precautionary measures as we learn to live with COVID and fight the Omicron variant—and New Yorkers and visitors alike can now enjoy Times Square and the rest of our city as we ring in 2022.”

“This year’s holiday season may not be the one we had hoped for, but we can still have a happy holiday season,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Dave A. Chokshi. “All New Yorkers should get vaccinated and boosted as soon as possible. Wear a quality face mask and stay home if you’re feeling sick, no matter how mild your symptoms.”

“We applaud the leadership of Mayor de Blasio in finding a way to welcome revelers into Times Square on New Year’s Eve in an even safer way than we originally planned,” said Tom Harris, President of the Times Square Alliance. “This year revelers will be fully vaccinated, masked, and we will have reduced occupancy in the viewing areas. We understand that everyone will not be able to be here but welcome them to experience New Year’s Eve in Times Square from our live webcast, on one of the networks or on the VNYE app.”

‘The Town Remembers’: Firefighters Quit After Arsonist Suddenly Named Chief

Ten firefighters resigned from an Illinois fire department after a man once convicted of arson was named the department’s acting chief, The Washington Post reported.

Jerame Simmons, the fire department’s assistant chief, replaced John Rosenkranz as chief on Monday without explanation, the Post reported. The department’s board of trustees reportedly said “a change in the Fire Department’s leadership is needed” in a statement after a meeting Monday.

Simmons pleaded guilty to arson in 1999 after setting the ceiling tiles in his high school’s basement and an abandoned house on fire, the Post reported. He was 18-years old at that time, and he was sentenced to four years of probation, though Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker later pardoned him, Fox 2 reported.

Eight of the volunteers who quit sent a letter to the board of trustees stating they were leaving their positions “with regret and sorrow.” There were thirteen total firefighters at the department, the Post reported.

“The town remembers the school being set on fire, the town remembers the house set on fire [where] we had firefighters fall and be injured,” Laura Rosenkranz, the department’s captain and the former chief’s wife, told the Post. She also submitted her resignation.

The mayor of the town Simmons grew up in was his father at the time of his sentencing, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported in 1999, according to The Post. The former mayor is now the director of the county emergency management agency.

“These people feel like they have absolutely no other option,” the former chief told the Post. He said the board had held an “unusual” meeting in August where Simmons was named the department’s acting assistant chief.

“It’s not important that I’m the chief or not the chief,” he said. “It’s about … making sure everything’s taken care of.”

David Icke’s Friend, Zen Gardner, Confesses He Ran Pedophile Cult

Zen Gardner, conspiracy guru and trusted friend of David Icke, has been forced to come clean about his years as a leader of notorious pedophile cult, The Children of God, also known as The Family and The Family International.

The cult has been forced to change its name and flee one South American country after another in recent years after revelations about their sick child abuse practises and doctrine have come to light.

Currently using the name Don Ferguson, but well known on the internet as Zen Gardner, the high profile conspiracy guru joined the The Family at the age of 22 to escape an abusive childhood. He remained in the cult for 27 years, working his way up the ranks to become a leader, teacher and media chief in charge of “image management.”

An image manager’s job in a pedophile cult would likely involve painting a rosy picture of the cult as wholesome to the outside world.

However Zen Gardner, in a blog post titled My Missing Years, is now attempting to play the victim and blame the cult leadership – of which he was a part – for the cult’s depravities. He is attempting to downplay his personal involvement by blaming the same cult whose image it was once his job to massage.

It is unlikely that somebody who spent 27 years of their adult life in a pedophile cult, rising through the ranks to become a leader and media chief, would not have some idea of what was going on behind the scenes. That is not how cults work.

The Children of God were founded by David “Moses” Berg (known as “Dad” to cult members) who led the group until his death in 1994. The son of American pentecostal evangelists, Berg was a nymphomaniac who had been sexually abused as a child.

He preached the virtues of free-for-all sex, including pedophilia and incest, under the guise of religious observance, and advocated sex with minors. His only caveat was the assertion “as long as it is done in love.”

The Secret CIA Campaign to Influence Culture: Covert Cultural Operations (2000)

>>15249384

Communist party leaders depicted the United States as a cultural black hole and cited their own significant culture as evidence that they were the inheritors of the European Enlightenment (Wilford 100). Americans, on the other hand accused the Soviets of “disregarding the inherent value of culture” and subjugating art to the controlling policies of a totalitarian political system. The United States saw itself as being saddled with the responsibility of preserving and fostering the best cultural traditions of western civilization, as many European artists sought refuge in the United States before, during, and after World War II (Wilford 101). Europe and European Universities turned out to be in the epicenter of the Cultural Cold War.

In 1950, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) surreptitiously created the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) to counter the Cominform’s “peace offensive”(Wilford 101). The Congress had “offices in thirty-five countries, employed dozens of personnel, published over twenty prestige magazines, held art exhibitions, owned a news and features service, organized high-profile international conferences, and rewarded musicians and artists with prizes and public performances” at its peak (Saunders 2000). The intent of these endeavors was to “showcase” US and European high culture, including not just musical works but paintings, ballets, and other artistic avenues, for the benefit of neutralist foreign intellectuals (Wilford 102).

Many US government organizations used classical symphonies, Broadway musicals, and jazz performances (including musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie) in attempts to persuade audiences worldwide America was a cradle for the growth of music (Wilford 108-109). The CIA and, in turn the CCF, displayed reluctance to patronize America’s musical avant-garde, experimental, including artists such as Milton Babbitt and John Cage. The CCF took a more conservative approach, as outlined under its General Secretary, Nicolas Nabokov, and concentrated its efforts on presenting older European works that had been banned or by the Communist Party (Wilford 109).

In 1952, the CCF sponsored the “Festival of Twentieth-Century Masterpieces of Modern Arts” in Paris. Over the next thirty days, the festival hosted nine separate orchestras which performed works by over 70 composers, many of whom had been dismissed by communist critics as “degenerate” and “sterile,”; included in this group were composers such as Dmitri Shostakovich and Claude Debussy (Wilford 109). The festival opened with a performance of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, as performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra (109). Thomas Braden, a senior member of the CIA said: “The Boston Symphony Orchestra won more acclaim for the US in Paris than John Foster Dulles or Dwight D. Eisenhower could have brought with a hundred speeches” (Wilford 110)

The CIA in particular utilized a wide range of musical genres, including Broadway musicals, and even the jazz of Dizzy Gillespie, to convince music enthusiasts across the globe that the U.S. was committed to the musical arts as much as they were to the literary and visual arts. Under the leadership of Nabokov, the CCF organized impressive musical events that were anti-communist in nature, transporting America’s prime musical talents to Berlin, Paris, and London to provide a steady series of performances and festivals. In order to promote cooperation between artists and the CCF, and thus extend their ideals, the CCF provided financial aid to artists in need of monetary assistance.

However, the CCF failed to offer much support for classical music associated with the likes of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven because it was deemed an “authoritarian” tool of Soviet communism and wartime German and Italian fascism. The CCF also distanced itself from experimental musical avant-garde artists such as Milton Babbit and John Cage, preferring to focus on earlier European works that had been banned or condemned as “formalist” by Soviet authorities.

During the Cold War, Louis Armstrong was promoted around the world as a symbol of US culture, racial progress, and foreign policy. It was during the Jim Crow Era that Armstrong was appointed a Goodwill Jazz Ambassador, and his job entailed representing the American government’s commitment to advance the liberties of African Americans at home, while also working to endorse the social freedom of those abroad.

Kaepernick's SPAC Deal Implodes Just In Time For Christmas

Just like his career as a professional football player, a SPAC deal involving former San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who was infamously blacklisted from the league for taking a knee during the National Anthem, has fallen apart.

Is this another case of Kaepernick being punished for shining a light on America's racial disparities? Before anybody rushes to judgment, the answer is a definite 'no'. The real reason, according to the WSJ reporters who broke the story, is that Kaepernick balked at demands by executives in the target company that he stump for the merger by sitting for interviews, including on "Good Morning America", and with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

Because of this, the deal is officially "dead".
