Marilyn Manson claims Evan Rachel Wood and new lover FAKED an FBI letter against him - saying he was under investigation for sexual abuse 'in bid to recruit women to make allegations against the rock star'

Wood has denied the allegations saying she did not circulate the false letter

Manson is suing Wood and her romantic partner Illma Gore for defamation

It is believed that Wood and Gore collaborated in this letter, a court heard

The letter allegedly sees the pair impersonating an FBI agent to 'create the false appearance' that Manson's alleged victims and their families are in danger

Marilyn Manson's ex fiancé, actress Evan Rachel Wood, was accused Tuesday of helping to distribute a fake FBI letter that accused the rocker of being under investigation for sexually abusing women.

Manson is suing West World star Wood and her romantic partner, artist Illma Gore, for defamation over what he calls the 'malicious' and 'false' sexual abuse allegations they have made against him which, he claims, 'derailed his successful music, TV and film career.'

Tuesday at Los Angeles Superior Court, Manson's attorney, Jackson Trugman, said that Gore had used the allegedly forged FBI letter to recruit other women into accusing his client of abuse.

'We have evidence that Miss Wood and Miss Gore collaborated in this letter,' he told the court.

Wood denied the accusation, saying in a written declaration that she 'did not circulate the false FBI letter.'

But Trugman disputed her denial, telling LA Superior Court Judge Teresa Beaudet, 'It would be improper to conclude just from Miss Wood's declaration that she didn't not circulate this letter.'

Kamala Meets Australian Prime Minister in Tokyo – Immediately Breaks into Meaningless Word Salad

Kamala Harris is traveling in Asia this week.

The unpopular US VP is meeting with Asian leaders and will visit the DMZ in Korea later this week.

Kamala, Joe Biden’s border czar, will visit the Korean border before she visits the open US border with Mexico.

On Tuesday Kamala met the Aussie Prime Minister and immediatly broke into a meaningless word salad.

Kamala Harris: “It is significant that we are here together in Tokyo. In where we also share a common goal and dedication to peace and security in the Indo-Pacific. And the work that we will continue to do to ensure that we are guided by what we are joined in in terms of international rules and norms.”

Banks‘ huge profits as Aussies hit by rate hikes

As thousands struggle with the rising financial demands of their mortgages, Australia’s major banks are raking in billions in profits.

Commonwealth Bank (CBA), Westpac, NAB and ANZ are expected to post a combined annual cash profit of around $28.4bn this financial year as interest rate hikes boost their loan income.

CBA leads the pack in terms of profit after releasing its year-end report on June 30, with an 11 per cent boost to its cash flow bringing in $9.6bn in the past 12 months.

Part of the reason the banks are expected to report billions in profit amid rising costs is mortgage rates are increasing faster than the rates on savings and deposits, leading to a wider net interest margin.

“In a rising interest rate environment, deposit rates are going up at a slower rate than mortgage rates,” AMP economist Shane Oliver said.

Despite many Australians already struggling with the increasing costs of paying off their home loans, the banks are expected to continue to hike up interest rates in the coming months.

“I suspect that they may use some of their profitability for some customers who run into financial difficulty, but it’s hard to see them not raising interest rates in line with the RBA,” Mr Oliver said.

Though mortgage rates are on the rise, there is still hope for variable rate customers, according to RateCity‘s research director, Sally Tindall.

“Yes, rates are on the rise and yes, the banks are passing on the full rate hikes to variable customers, but the competition is still hot,” Ms Tindall said.

“But the competition is for customers who are proactive in looking for the best deal.”

For those looking to make the most of the competitive market, refinancing is the way to go, according to Ms Tindall.

“As a result of all this activity, it forces banks to be competitive but only for new customers, and this is something we expect to continue.”

There‘s also good news for Australians who don’t have a home loan but who want a high return on their savings.

Smaller banks tend to outperform the big four when it comes to saver rates, according to RateCity, with ANZ giving customers a maximum rate of 1.65 per cent compared to ING‘s rate of 3.60 per cent.

Threats made by call center scam syndicates snowballs into ‘body parts trafficking’ viral videos and allegations

It all started with videos posted by video clips circulated in vernacular blog sites and other sites alleging that those who failed to perform their tasks as ordered by scam syndicate supervisors or enforcers risked having their body cut open and their vital organs harvested for sale in the black market through the dark web.

It followed by claims of ‘thousands’ of alleged human rights trafficking cases, originating with foreign nationals being lured to work in Cambodia and at least two other South East Asian nations with promises of high paying jobs with salaries to be paid out in US dollars, an automatic lure given the poor performance of local currencies in these economies and Cambodia being a dollarised economy.

Police officials from several Asean countries told Khmer Times on conditions of anonymity that the allegations had caused great damage to Cambodia and to a smaller extent to two other nations though alleged human trafficking cases for work in illegal online gambling operations and other scam operations are taking place in at least half of the 10 ASEAN member nations.

“Human trafficking – the sale of workers by one syndicate to another after the workers had willingly arrived in Cambodia and other nations were highlighted by many nations and media. However, Cambodia has been singled out unfairly and sustained police action to nab scam operations members and operators which has to date, netted hundreds of suspects, drew scant response when compared to the allegations.

“Our investigations have revealed that the alleged human parts trafficking were merely threats used by the scam operators to keep workers in line and that no actual body parts were harvested and neither has anyone come forward to provide any evidence of this along with blood harvesting, a single allegation which has also been debunked,” a Cambodian police task force official said.

He added that the key was still back home in the countries where the allegedly trafficked victims were from as nabbing the recruiters would go a long way in helping to minimize and eliminate these scam syndicates which prey on the vulnerable.

“Malaysian Ambassador Datuk Eldeen Husaini’s recent remarks that a joint ASEAN task force may be the answer as information and intelligence sharing, coordinating and analysing can play a big part in smashing these syndicates,” he added.

In July, the United States dropped Cambodia to Tier 3, the lowest rank on its human trafficking index, after failing to deal with the issue effectively.

Post Office IG report finds shortcomings in election mail processing

Half of the processing and distribution centers (P&DCs) reviewed did not properly comply with USPS policies.

An Inspector General report released Monday found that the United States Postal Service, while largely prepared to handle an increase in election mail, still was unable to fully process significant portions of election materials from the 2022 primary cycle.

"We found that generally, the Postal Service is ready for timely processing of Election Mail for the 2022 mid-term election," the report begins. "However, we did find examples where the Postal Service was not in compliance with Election Mail policies."

The IG first highlighted that the USPS processed roughly 10 million more pieces of election mail in the 3-month period of April through June of the 2022 primary cycle than it did for the same period during the 2020 primaries, with the on time delivery rate for the identifiable election mail actually increasing by 1%.

But the USPS was only able to measure service performance for 83.3% of identifiable ballots, the report noted. "The Postal Service can only measure service performance if ballots are sent full service and receive necessary processing scans to provide end-to-end visibility into the mailstream," the watchdog observed.

Moreover, the watchdog found that three of the six processing and distribution centers (P&DCs) it reviewed did not properly comply with USPS policies to stage Election Mail. The IG report examined P&DCs in Philadelphia, Greensboro, Atlanta, Cleveland, Los Angeles and Denver. Of those six, all three of the non-compliant centers were in critical swing states. The non-compliant P&DCs were Philadelphia, Cleveland and Denver, situated in the hotly contested states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Colorado, respectively.

On a positive note, the USPS showed improvement on 2020, delivering 97.6% of election mail on time during the 2022 primaries, the IG noted.

22 Lawmakers Demand Merrick Garland Explain Alleged FBI SWAT Raid on Catholic Pro-Life Activist Mark Houck

As many as 22 lawmakers have called upon Attorney General Merrick Garland to provide an explanation as to why the FBI allegedly sent 25-30 fully-armed agents to arrest Catholic pro-life activist Mark Houck as his “screaming” children watched in horror.

Released Tuesday, the open letter spearheaded by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said that the FBI should have an “extraordinary reason” for arresting Houck the way they allegedly did. The letter said:

There is much to learn about the extent of the FBI’s operations in this case, apparently since state-level charges were apparently dismissed by local authorities in Philadelphia. Surely, the FBI must have an extraordinary reason for showing up at the home of an American family, allegedly with roughly 25 heavily armed federal agents, and arresting a father in front of his seven children.

“At the moment, it appears to be an extraordinary overreach for political ends,” the letter added.

The letter demanded that Merrick Garland respond by September 30.

Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas told Fox News that the raid against Houck is further indicative of how politicized the FBI and the Department of Justice have become under President Joe Biden.

Mark Houck, the founder and president of The King’s Men — a group dedicated to helping men become better husbands, fathers, and leaders — was arrested at his rural Pennsylvania home last Friday for allegedly violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act during his regular sidewalk counseling outside of an abortion clinic in 2021. Speaking with LifeSiteNews, Houck’s wife, Ryan-Marie, said that around 25 to 30 fully armored FBI agents stormed their property early Friday morning, aiming their rifles as the children screamed in horror.

The FBI denied sending a SWAT team to Houck’s residence while not denying that 25 to 30 fully-armed FBI agents were on site to apprehend Houck that morning. The FBI said:

There are inaccurate claims being made regarding the arrest of Mark Houck. No SWAT Team or SWAT operators were involved. FBI agents knocked on Mr. Houck’s front door, identified themselves as FBI agents and asked him to exit the residence. He did so and was taken into custody without incident pursuant to an indictment.

The FACE Act violation allegedly stems from an incident in which Houck shoved a 72-year-old abortion activist escorting women into a Planned Parenthood clinic. Houck’s family maintains that the man had been harassing his 12-year-old son.

Philadelphia’s Democrat Mayor Signs Gun Ban That Applies to Concealed Carry Permit Holders

Democrat Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order Tuesday banning the carry of guns — even by concealed permit holders — in city parks and recreational centers.

FOX News reported the signing of the executive order, quoting Kenney as saying, “This gives them some protection, some peace of mind, some ability to call the authorities when some knucklehead decides they want to bring a gun into a rec center, and they see it, that’s part of what this is about.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer noted, “The order bans guns and other deadly weapons at rec center buildings, athletic courts, fields, playgrounds, and pools. Signs about the prohibition will be displayed at the facilities, the order says, and District Attorney Larry Krasner said his office could charge those in violation with trespassing — even if they are otherwise legally permitted to carry the gun in the city.”

FOX New quoted Krasner commented on the order, saying, “Even if you have a permit to carry, and you go on those premises, then you’ve got a problem with me.”

Kenney’s executive order is expected to face swift legal challenges due to Philadelphia’s preemption statute, which bars cities and local municipalities from enacting any gun controls more strict than those that exist at the state level.

The Inquirer pointed out, “Courts have cited preemption while consistently striking down attempts by cities, including Philadelphia, to ban assault-style weapons, limit handgun purchases, and prohibit guns in parks and at recreation centers.”

The preemption statutes say, “No county, municipality, or township may in any manner regulate the lawful ownership, possession, transfer, or transportation of firearms, ammunition, or ammunition components when carried or transported for purposes not prohibited by the laws of this commonwealth.”

In July 2022, Breitbart News observed Mayor Jim Kenney’s (D) suggestion that only the police should have guns.

FOX News reported that Kenney spoke to reporters after two Philadelphia police officers were wounded by gunshots on July 4.

Kenney reflected on July 4, saying, “It was a chilled back day, beautiful weather. But we live in America where we have the Second Amendment and we have the Supreme Court of the United States telling everybody they can carry a gun wherever they want.”

He noted, “I was in Canada two weeks ago and never thought about a gun. The only people I knew who had guns in Canada were police officers.”

Kenney added, “That’s the way it should be here.”

House Republican Leadership Whips Against Stop-Gap Spending Bill

Scalise’s team just informed all House Republican offices, “Leadership recommends a NO vote.”

House Republican leadership announced the whip notice against a stop-gap spending bill, or a continuing resolution (CR), as the Senate just voted to advance the bill on Tuesday night.

The CR would fund the government through December 16.

Scalise’s team said that Democrats refused to negotiate with House Republicans on the CR, and that the stop-gap bill does not solve the many crises facing the nation.

The whip notice explained:

While spending the last several months ramming through legislation that increases taxes and spends billions – causing crippling inflation and a recession – Democrats in Washington have failed to address the most basic duty of funding the government. The Majority has refused to negotiate with Ranking Member Granger or any other House Republican leader on pressing issues relating to our government funding priorities, including runaway inflation, the supply chain crisis, the border crisis, or the opioid deaths associated with drugs like fentanyl coming across our open southern border, and have instead decided to kick the can to December, setting up another government funding showdown during the unaccountable lame duck period.

Scalise’s team also said that the CR contains funding that would enable more illegal immigration while the nation faces a historic number of migrants crossing the border:

Includes $1.8 billion for Refugee and Entrant money to fund more migrants illegally crossing the border, yet provides no additional money for border security or our Customs and Border Protection officers.

Just one month after passing the reckless “heat your home tax” that was signed into law in the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats now want to subsidize their numerous energy policy failures by giving away another billion dollars to the very people they raised taxes on.

Funds the government only through December 16th, setting up yet another shutdown showdown.

Along with these provisions, the bill would provide:

$12.3 billion in economic and military aid to Ukraine

$1 billion for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP)

$2.5 billion in funding for New Mexico to recover from the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fire

$20 million for water infrastructure in Jackson, Mississippi

a five-year reauthorization of FDA user fees

$3 billion for the State Department to facilitate Afghan resettlement, and the FBI would receive $15 million to vet Afghan refugees

$35 million to prepare and respond to “potential and radiological incidents in Ukraine”

The Senate will continue will pass the bill later this week, after which the House will vote on the bill.

Congress needs to pass a government funding bill before Friday, or the government will shut down.

Tulsa District Attorney Stabbed Multiple Times at His Home by Daughter

Tulsa District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler was stabbed multiple times at his home by his adult daughter on Tuesday.

According to reports, the elder Kunzweiler had an altercation with his daughter, Jennifer Kunzweiler before she stabbed him.

The daughter was reportedly suffering from mental problems and cut herself as well.

Both Steve Kunzweiler and his daughter were taken to a local hospital where both are expected to fully recover.

The Tulsa PD arrested Jennifer and said they will be pressing charges.

KTUL reported:

Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler was allegedly stabbed at his home on Tuesday, September 27.

The stabbing occurred in south Tulsa near East 121st Street and South Yale Avenue.

Tulsa police say they received a 911 call around 3 p.m. from Kunzweiler himself.

Kunzweiler said he had been in an altercation with his daughter when she stabbed him multiple times. He was immediately taken to the hospital.

The DA’s Office say Kunzweiler was awake and talking on the way to the hospital and is expected to recover from his injuries.

Kunzweiler released the following statement regarding the incident:

Unfortunately today, I found myself in a situation that I hoped would never happen. Fortunately, my injuries are such that I was able to go home. Thank you to everyone who expressed concern for me and my family. I am most appreciative of the response from the Tulsa Fire Department, EMSA, the Tulsa Police Department and the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office. I am also very grateful for the professionalism and care of the staff and doctors at Saint Francis Hospital in treating me for my injuries.

The DA’s Office also say that the Kunzweiler family would appreciate prayers and privacy as they go through this struggle.
