Former Erie County Democratic Party Chairman Receives Sentence in New York Child Sex Abuse Case Involving a 9-Year-Old

Steve Pigeon, the former Erie County Democratic Party Chairman, was sentenced to 364 days in jail after admitting to the sexual abuse of a child more than seven years ago.

The former political figure had pleaded guilty last month to one count of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, a class D violent felony.

The case, which took a significant toll on the local community, came to a resolution when Pigeon, 63, received his sentence early Friday morning.

Erie County District Attorney John Flynn underlined the gravity of the crime, which occurred between November and December 2016, and involved a child who was 9-year-old at the time, 2WGRZ reported.

Pigeon received 13 character letters, including letters from prominent businessmen Tom Golisano and Arnie Rothschild.

‘Color revolution’ being attempted in Serbia – Vucic

Belgrade was warned in advance about a plot to storm government buildings, the Serbian president has said

Pro-Western demonstrators have attempted to break into government buildings in Belgrade in what Serbian President Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has called an attempted “color revolution.” Vucic claims he was tipped off about the plot beforehand.

Thousands of opposition protesters gathered outside the Belgrade City Assembly on Sunday to protest the victory of Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) over the pro-EU Serbia Against Violence (SPN) coalition in parliamentary elections last week. The protest turned violent with a group of demonstrators attempting to batter down the doors of the building, until they were dispersed by police.

“There is no revolution underway,” Vucic said in a public address. “Nothing will go their way,” he continued, referring to the protesters. “Those who swear to fight against violence have shown that they are real thugs.”

The SPN coalition emerged out of anti-government protests following a pair of mass shootings in May. While the protest movement initially demanded the resignations of Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic and intelligence chief Aleksandar Vulin, it soon called for the fall of Vucic’s government.

Vucic claimed that the protest was sponsored by Western powers who wanted him removed from office over his cordial relations with Russia and refusal to abandon Serbia’s claim to Kosovo, citing reports from foreign intelligence services.

He reiterated these allegations in Sunday’s address, thanking unnamed “foreign services” for letting his security services “know exactly what the thugs were preparing.”

The term ‘color revolution’ describes a protest movement funded and organized by a Western government – usually the US. Aimed at toppling leaders opposed to US interests, these revolutions are typically backed by American intelligence agencies, and organized by a panoply of US-funded NGOs. While the term became widely known following the 2003 ‘Rose Revolution’ in Georgia, the first successful use of color revolution tactics took place in Yugoslavia in 2000, when a US-backed student movement forced the resignation of Slobodan Milosevic.

The anti-Milosevic movement began with claims that the Yugoslavian leader had engaged in fraud in that year’s election, claims bolstered by Western-funded ‘election monitors’ who were brought in.

“Serbia is fed up with your revolutions,” Vucic said during the initial ‘anti-violence’ protests earlier this year. “Serbia is fed up with the arrival of those under foreign influence and the destruction of everything that is Serbian.”

They literally run everything - peace is now anti-semitic

Usman Khawaja blocked from wearing symbol of peace on bat and shoes by ICC

Australian opener Usman Khawaja’s latest act ahead of the Boxing Day Test has been blocked by cricket’s governing body.

Khawaja was prevented from wearing shoes with the message “all lives are equal” and “freedom is a human right” on it during the first Test.

Instead of a written message, Khawaja had hoped to display a sticker of a black dove with an olive branch to pay respect to the lives lost in Gaza for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan.

Khawaja even wore shoes with the design during a training session prior to the fixture.

Along with the black dove, Khawaja had a reference to Article One of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on his bat.

Article One states: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
