U.S. diplomat found dead in Madagascar: State Department

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A suspect is in custody after an American diplomat was found dead at home while serving in Madagascar, the U.S. State Department said on Monday.

 

Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement the U.S. foreign service officer was found during the overnight hours of Friday. She gave no further details.

 

"Diplomatic Security is collaborating with local Malagasy authorities on a joint investigation and a suspect is currently in custody," Nauert said, declining to identify the diplomat out of respect for the family and while an investigation is still underway.

Europe Unveils "Special Purpose Vehicle" To Bypass SWIFT, Jeopardizing Dollar's Reserve Status

 

In a stunning vote of "no confidence" in the US monopoly over global payment infrastructure, one month ago Germany’s foreign minister Heiko Maas called for the creation of a new payments system independent of the US that would allow Brussels to be independent in its financial operations from Washington and as a means of rescuing the nuclear deal between Iran and the west.

 

Writing in the German daily Handelsblatt, Maas said "Europe should not allow the US to act over our heads and at our expense. For that reason it’s essential that we strengthen European autonomy by establishing payment channels that are independent of the US, creating a European Monetary Fund and building up an independent Swift system," he wrote.

 

Maas said it was vital for Europe to stick with the Iran deal. "Every day the agreement continues to exist is better than the highly explosive crisis that otherwise threatens the Middle East," he said, with the unspoken message was even clearer: Europe no longer wants to be a vassal state to US monopoly over global payments, and will now aggressively pursue its own "SWIFT" network that is not subservient to Washington's every whim.

 

Many discounted the proposal as being far too aggressive: after all, a direct assault on SWIFT, and Washington, would be seen by the rest of the world as clear mutiny against a US-dominated global regime, and could potentially spark a crisis of confidence in the reserve status of the dollar, resulting in unpredictable, and dire, consequences.

 

However, despite the diplomatic consequences, Europe was intent on creating some loophole to the US ability to weaponize the global currency of account at will, something observed most recently as part of Trump's latest sanctions on Iran, and as a result, late on Monday, the European Union said that it would establish a special payment channel to allow European and other companies to legally continue financial transactions with Iran while avoiding exposure to U.S. sanctions.

 

The move, as the WSJ notes, "is a direct rebuke of President Trump’s policy on Iran and his decision to withdraw from the nuclear deal in May," and sets the stage for a confrontation between the U.S. and Europe over the treatment of Iran, the payment for Iran oil, and potentially, jeopardizing the reserve currency status of the dollar itself.

 

While keeping SWIFT as is, for now, the EU's foreign-policy head Federica Mogherini side by side with Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif announced a "special purpose vehicle" jointly, in English and Farsi, after a meeting at the U.N. of the parties still committed to the deal—Iran, EU, U.K., France, Germany, Russia and China. In fact, everyone but the US.

Trump at UNGA: OPEC nations to contribute substantially to military protection from now on

 

US President Donald Trump has taken another hit at the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). He has demanded that member states should ‘contribute substantially’ for military protection provided by the US.

 

Trump’s comments at the UN General Assembly come as oil hit a four-year high of $82 per barrel on Tuesday. Earlier, he repeatedly accused OPEC of "pushing for higher" crude prices despite the military protection provided by the US. The US president is against high oil prices, since they result in higher gasoline prices in America.

 

Speaking on Tuesday, Trump said that OPEC members were “as usual ripping off the rest of the world.”

 

“I don’t like it and nobody should like it. We defend many of these nations for nothing and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices… We want them to start lowering prices… we are not going to put up with it, these horrible prices, much longer,” he said.

 

"We defend many of these nations for nothing, and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices. Not good."

 

OPEC, Russia and other producers refused to raise oil output last weekend despite Trump’s demands. Oil supply has been falling as countries are reducing purchases from Iran, whose oil sector will be sanctioned by the US from November 4. The International Energy Agency predicts strong oil-demand growth of 1.4 million barrels per day (bpd) this year and 1.5 million bpd in 2019. Rising demand and plunging supply have resulted in a spike in oil prices.

 

The average cost of gasoline in the US has risen 60 percent from $1.87 per gallon in February 2016 to over $3 in September. With US midterm congressional elections in 2018 coming up, high gasoline prices could hurt the Republican Party in swing states, John Kemp, a Reuters market analyst noted earlier.

Swedish parliament ousts PM Lofven in vote of no-confidence

 

Sweden’s newly elected parliament has voted against Prime Minister Stefan Lofven in a vote of confidence, officially ending his tenure as head of government. Lofven had earlier refused to step down voluntarily.

 

The dismissal of Lofven, leader of the center-left Social Democratic Party, was anticipated after members of the conservative Alliance announced in advance that they would not support him in Tuesday’s vote.

 

Political groups on both the left and right achieved the same number of votes in the general election, resulting in neither winning a majority in parliament.

 

The election resulted in major success for the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, which won 17.6 percent of the votes. However, neither side of the political center agreed to form a coalition with the party.

 

Swedish law provides that a vote for a new head of government has to take place no later than two weeks after a new parliament chooses its speaker. Up to four candidacies may be rejected by the Riksdag before an new general election must be called.

 

Lofven, who had headed a minority coalition government since 2014, refused to step down after the election on September 9, saying that keeping the Sweden Democrats out of power was a paramount goal for the establishment parties. However, the Moderates, who lead the conservative Alliance, refused to support Lofven’s bid to remain as prime minister.

 

The electoral success of the Sweden Democrats occurred against a backdrop of tensions in the country over its immigration policy. The northern European country has long prided itself for its tolerant approach to asylum seekers. During the 2015 immigration crisis, Sweden took in more people per capita than any other EU member state.

 

However, problems associated with immigrants – including regular torching of cars and other crimes – moved to the forefront of public debate. This enabled the right-wing party to capitalize on anti-immigration sentiment, ultimately resulting its best-ever result in a general election.

Business Tycoon and Former Politician Arrested for Poisoning Homeless Encampment

 

Former politician and real estate tycoon Ron Alleva was arrested for spreading toxic chemicals in a popular homeless encampment near the headquarters of his business in Anchorage, Alaska, Grubstake Auction. Alleva was charged with reckless endangerment, pollution of land/air/water and unauthorized pesticide distribution, according to KTVA.

 

Alleva confessed to police that he told his employees to sprinkle chlorine bleach powder through a homeless encampment that is located near Brother Francis Shelter and Bean’s Café where the homeless often receive help.

 

Alleva has had an ongoing dispute with homeless people in the area and his been very vocal about his displeasure that they live near his property.

 

In the past Alleva has referred to the homeless people in the neighborhood as “vermin” and “subhuman.”

 

They reportedly dumped at least 75 gallons of the chemical in the disputed area.

 

Alleva claimed that received permission from the Municipality of Anchorage, but they deny that they ever spoke with him or authorized his actions.

 

It is unlikely that they would have authorized dumping of this chemical considering that it is designated as a hazardous chemical by the EPA.

 

“When improperly mixed with water Zappit off-gasses a hazardous vapor that could cause severe injury. Due to the toxic nature of Zappit, the Hazardous Materials United initiated cleanup immediately to prevent any further spreading of the product and prior to rainfall to prevent the product off-gassing and from running off into the story trains,” court documents said.

 

A response from Alleva’s attorney expressed no remorse about his actions, but just offered complaints about homeless people living near his business.

 

“They have deliberately chosen to engage in activities that are designed to attract, and that do attract, large numbers of homeless persons to the neighborhood near Mr. Alleva’s business. Those homeless persons have created massive problems in the area, including trespasses on Mr. Alleva’s property, the strewing of large amounts of garbage, including bio-hazardous materials such as syringes, used condoms, and fecal matter, on and around his property, and committing assaults on persons on and around his property,” the response said, according to KTVA.

 

In a later phone interview, Alleva said that he thinks he did a good thing.

 

“It‘s E. coli, you‘re talking bedbugs, lice — I mean, everything was falling there, including street people. If you ask me straight up, I did a good thing. I have a clear conscience,” Alleva said.

 

Bean’s Café and the Brother Francis Shelter have attempted to get a restraining order against Alleva, alleging that he threatened employees and patrons with violence, but the order was denied.

 

Ron Alleva moved into the neighborhood several years ago when the homeless encampments had already been established in the area. The shelter was operated for years before Alleva bought property in town and attempting to change it.

 

According to recent reports, the city is in the process of buying land in the area from Alleva for large sums of money.

 

Assistant Fire Chief Erich Scheunemann disagrees.

 

“It can cause skin burns. If it’s inhaled it can cause respiratory depression. So there is some concerns with cleaners in general. It’s just not something that you want to be exposed to,” Scheunemann said.

Instagram founders Systrom and Krieger resign from social media giant after eight years

 

Instagram is Facebook's fastest-growing product in terms of revenues

 

The two men who founded social media giant Instagram eight years ago have announced they will step down from the company.

 

Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger did not specify a reason for resigning from the firm, which was bought by Facebook six years ago for $1bn.

 

The company issued a statement late on Monday confirming Mr Systrom and Mr Krieger, it's chief executive officer and chief technical officer, had declared their decision to leave.

 

Mr Systrom wrote in a blog post that they plan to take some time off and explore "our curiosity and creativity again".

 

Instagram is Facebook's fastest-growing product in terms of revenues, though it has some four million fewer advertisers worldwide than the parent site.

Survivors Demand Answers in UK Contaminated Blood Scandal That Killed Thousands

 

LONDON—After four decades and 3,000 deaths, those who survived being infected with HIV and hepatitis C from the blood of prostitutes, drug users, and even cadavers are hoping to finally find answers.

 

Many of the victims of Britain’s “tainted blood” scandal only found out after years that their revolutionary blood treatments, provided by the national health service, were a death sentence.

 

After decades of campaigning, on Sept. 24 hearings began at the first official inquiry into infected blood products imported from the United States in the 1970s.

 

The inquiry will try to establish what happened, how it happened, and whether there was a cover-up, as many of the victims claim.

 

The inquiry could lead to prosecutions.

 

Officials and pharmaceutical companies were convicted in Japan and France many years ago, with a French health minister found guilty of manslaughter in 1999.

 

Most of those affected were being treated for hemophilia, a hereditary disease that means sufferers’ blood lacks a factor essential for clotting.

 

Prior to the 1970s treatment required plasma transfusions, meaning a trip to hospital for even minor injuries.

 

Then a new product was developed, factor concentrate, that could be self-administered at home via injection.

 

The factor concentrate was developed from donated blood.

US Soldier Sentenced to 11 Years for Making Chemical Weapon - Justice Dept.

 

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – A US soldier who constructed a bomb to dispense chlorine gas and then detonated the device in a wooded area next to his base has been sentenced to 11 years in prison, the Department of Justice announced in a press release on Tuesday.

 

"Ryan Keith Taylor, 24, of New Llano, Louisiana, was sentenced by US District Judge Jay C. Zainey for producing, possessing, and using a chemical weapon in violation of federal law," the release said.

 

The 11-year sentence will be followed by five years of supervised parole, the release said.

 

The release made no mention of Taylor’s motive, but offered details of an April 12, 2017 detonation of the device in a national forest adjacent to Fort Polk in the state of Louisiana.

 

When military police began collecting samples at the blast site, one investigator filled a plastic bag with a rock coated in an unknown substance, the release noted. The bag immediately popped, and the investigator’s plastic gloves and boots began to melt.

 

During the course of the investigation, law enforcement agents found bomb-making notes, materials and chemical residue in Taylor’s vehicle, apartment and storage building, according to the release. Two victims who inhaled the chlorine gas were treated multiple times for their injuries and effectively ended their military careers.

The Party Of Evil

 

Democrats have long since hit the bottom of the barrel in their attempts to smear Brett Kavanaugh. Now they've busted through the bottom and are furiously digging into the dirt. Last night, they presented the latest Kavanaugh scandal: his yearbook. Apparently Kavanaugh wrote something rude in his 12th grade yearbook. This is supposed to have some sort of significance, though nobody can quite explain why.

 

Meanwhile, Christine Ford is raising new "concerns" about the hearing that has already been pushed back and adjusted multiple times to accommodate her every whim and desire. It's becoming increasingly likely that no hearing will ever take place or was ever going to take place. This has all been a cynical delay tactic by Democrats. Besides, they've declared that they believe both of Kavanaugh's accusers. What's the point of a hearing if Kavanaugh has already been convicted as a sex predator?

 

Michael Avenatti says that Kavanaugh was the ring leader of a roving band of gang rapists, and he can prove it. Well, he was going to prove it, but now he might not. But, again, why prove it? All Democrats have to do is make the accusation. Evidence, witnesses, corroboration – these are irrelevant details. They certainly are irrelevant to the far left mobs who are accosting Republican politicians and chasing them out of restaurants. Democrats have given up even the pretense of honesty or discernment. They have plunged headfirst into outright nihilism.

 

And why? Why are Democrats disgracing themselves with such reckless abandon? Well, it's no coincidence that Supreme Court nominations became this sort of feeding frenzy after Roe v Wade. This is about many things, but it is mostly about protecting their right to kill babies. Whatever Brett Kavanaugh did or didn't do in high school or college, the real crime he committed – the only crime Democrats care about – is his failure to bow before the blood-soaked altar of the abortion industry.

 

It is important to keep this in mind as we watch the spectacle. Democrats are primarily upset that Kavanaugh might help prevent the continued systematic slaughter of children. If Kavanaugh was in favor of killing babies, they wouldn't care if he was an admitted serial rapist. If Kavanaugh had the "right" view on abortion, he could have brutally raped a woman in a hotel room and left her bruised and bleeding. He could have driven off a bridge with a woman in the car and left her there to die a slow and agonizing death. He could be guilty of anything at all, and they would not only look the other way but descend upon his accusers and destroy them.

 

The Democrat Party is untethered from any traditional notions of morality or human decency. Its primary mission is to protect and preserve an industry that makes billions of dollars murdering millions of babies. Just as its primary mission 150 years ago was to protect and preserve an industry that dehumanized people in a similar way. It is the Devil's own party, and has been for a very long time. So, we should not be shocked at the things it does or the depths to which it sinks.

Israeli cabinet orders army to continue acting against ‘Iran’s entrenchment’ in Syria

 

The cabinet has also instructed the IDF to continue security coordination with Russia

 

TEL AVIV, September 25. /TASS/. Netanyahu’s security cabinet ordered the Israeli Defense Forces to continue to act against Iran’s military build-up in Syria without stopping coordination on Syria with the Russian military, the cabinet said in a statement released by the Israeli government press service.

 

"The cabinet instructs the IDF to continue to act against Iran’s military entrenchment efforts in Syria while continuing security coordination with Russia," the security cabinet said in a statement. The ministers share the pain of the Russian people over the death of the Russian plane’s [Il -20 - TASS] crew as a result of the actions of the Syrian army, the document says.

 

In order to safeguard the military forces of the two states from sudden clashes on Syrian territory, in the fall of 2015 Israel and Russia established a de-confliction mechanism, with a special coordination center created at Israel’s headquarters.

 

The Il-20 electronic reconnaissance plane was shot down on the evening of September 17 over the Mediterranean Sea when it was returning to the Hmeymim Airbase. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that it was downed by a missile from Syria’s S-200 air defense missile system when it was carrying out an attack on four Israeli F-16 planes that had attacked facilities in the Latakia Governorate.

 

Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov stated that the Israeli Air Force and those who made the decision to use the Russian plane as cover are to blame for the downing of Il-20 in Syria.

Your Elected Officials Received How Much $$ From AT&T, Verizon and Comcast??

 

There’s no doubt that technology can be wonderful. Anyone experiencing car trouble will tell you that having a cell phone can literally be a life saver. But it’s actually not necessary for millions more cell towers to be installed in front of homes and everywhere else so we can all have cell phone service. Unfortunately, this may happen anyway thanks to The Federal Communication (FCC) and many U.S. elected officials due to their unrelenting push to pass legislation in order to win the ridiculous and the highly risky “Race for 5G”.

 

Learn here how much your officials accepted from The Telecom Industry (aka Big Wireless). This may determine how willing they are to allow AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, etc. to install small cell towers throughout your community – including in front of homes.

 

Legislation has unfortunately already passed in some states which has severely limited municipal control over small cell tower and micro wireless infrastructure installation. Many municipal governments are still fighting this regardless. In other states, this type of legislation has been vetoed and/or delayed. Some municipal leaders have decided not to install it due to biological and environmental concerns.

 

Because of the growing controversy, federal legislation keeps being created and rushed to force the implementation for the “Race for 5G”. According to ARS Technica, The FCC even wants to slash $2B in municipal fees and give it to wireless carriers for this.

 

You can still post a statement of opposition today. The poop is going to hit the fan again tomorrow.

 

The FCC is not a health or environmental protection agency even though they regulate technology which can cause health and environmental problems. They seem to have no interest in protecting the public despite the fact that insurance carriers don’t even seem to be willing to cover harm from exposure to cell towers.

 

Activist Post has published many articles about this before because an increasing number of Americans DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.

Bill Cosby Sentenced to Three to Ten Years in Prison for Sexual Assault

 

Comedian Bill Cosby has been sentenced to three to ten years in prison for sexual assault, it was announced on Tuesday.

 

Though Cosby's lawyers requested bail, Judge Steven O'Neill has indicated that it will be denied.

 

Cosby had been found guilty in April on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. Constand has stated that Cosby assaulted her at his Pennsylvania home when she had reached out to him for career advice.

 

The sentencing comes after O'Neill stated earlier that Cosby would be classified as a "sexually violent predator," which requires that Cosby register as a sex offender, undergo monthly counseling. Cosby is also required to register with police if he decides to move, so that community members and school administrators can be alerted.

 

Prosecutors also released a five-page letter to O'Neill on Tuesday in which Constand described the impact of Cosby's assault. "I knew who I was and I liked who I was… Nothing could have prepared me for an evening of January 2004, when life as I knew it came to an abrupt halt," she wrote. "Bill Cosby took my beautiful, healthy young spirit and crushed it. He robbed me of my health and vitality, my open nature, and my trust in myself and others."

 

Prosecutors had initially requested a sentence of five to ten years in prison. Cosby's defense, however, asked for a more lenient sentence that consisted of house arrest due to the comedian's age and blindness.

FBI sifting through seized documents and videos – hampered by some 75 Bronfman-Raniere-Salzman attorneys where privilege has been invoked!

 

The Albany Times Union reported yesterday on the FBI’s work to sift through the discovery in the NXIVM case and noted that the Justice Department has “hired an outside vendor to help the FBI sift through a virtual mountain of data.”

 

https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/FBI-sifts-mountain-of-data-in-NXIVM-s-seized-13254160.php?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Timesunion_DailyBrief

 

Federal prosecutors estimate the computer devices contain up to 12 terabytes of data.

 

Raniere’s attorneys say that much of it is videos – and videos take up a lot of space.

 

Prosecutors noted that a U.S. Circuit Court in Manhattan characterized one terabyte of data as being the equivalent of “12 library floors’ worth of books.”

 

Hence, 12 terabytes would be 144 library floors – if the documents were all written.

 

With videos, it is somewhat different. But let it suffice to say, there are probably more videos for prosecutors to review than the sum total output of Paramount, Warner Brothers, and MGM.

 

But possibly not as interesting featuring as they do one very winsome star of most of the films, a short, rather pudgy, cross-eyed leading man.

 

Slowing up the entire process is that the prosecution in reviewing these terabytes of seized documents and videos is that they must place attorney-client privileged records into a “firewall database,” where they are being reviewed by law enforcement officials not involved in the investigation.

 

So, what’s so hard about that?

 

Because it’s not like yours or my computer being seized where there are one or two attorneys covered by privilege. I kid you not: Raniere has identified 26 attorneys that prosecutors must be wary of in sifting through the documents, Nancy Salzman has identified 7, and Clare Bronfman has identified 42. That’s 75 lawyers – not counting the 24 or so lawyers representing the various defendants in this case.

 

As some have said in the past, Executive Success Programs really work — for lawyers.

 

Some of the computer devices, we learn, could not be searched “for technical reasons” and were sent to the FBI’s headquarters for analysis, prosecutors said in court filings.

 

In addition to computer and other electronic devices such as data-storage devices, cameras and mobile phones, when FBI agents raided Nancy Salzman’s Saratoga County residence six months ago, the Times Union reports, “they also seized more than $520,000 in U.S. currency that was stuffed in bags, envelopes and shoeboxes, including one shoebox that held more than $390,000, according to search warrant records unsealed this summer in response to a request by the Times Union.”

 

There was also some small sums of Mexican [about $1,000 US] and Russian [about $10] currency.

 

On the same day, March 27, Raniere’s private sex lair was also raided and “audio-video recording equipment, a box of unidentified white pills, computer storage devices, binders, VHS tapes, and a book titled “History of Torture”, were seized along with other items, according to the TU report.

 

Federal prosecutors, in their letter to the district court on Monday, noted – ominously for the defense – that they are still receiving information from outside sources.
