Actor Kevin Spacey’s Sexual Assault Victim Claims He Has Video of Incident

 

Last year Hollywood was rocked by scandal when Anthony Rapp revealed mega star Kevin Spacey made a “sexual advance,” towards him when he was only 14-years-old.

As The Gateway Pundit reported in 2017, Spacey was accused of of sexual harrassment, but until then, details of the incident were unknown.

 

Rapp later went public with the accusations.

On Thursday Massachusetts police revealed they have video of actor Kevin Spacey sexually assaulting a young male at a bar in Nantucket.

 

CBS News reported:

 

The man who accused Kevin Spacey of sexually assaulting him in Nantucket in 2016 apparently captured at least some of the alleged incident on video, Massachusetts state police said Wednesday. According to the statement from police, the victim said “his girlfriend didn’t believe him,” so he “Snapchatted the video” of Spacey allegedly touching him.

 

The Cape and Island District Attorney on Monday filed sexual assault charges against Spacey for the July 2016 incident. Spacey will be arraigned at Nantucket District Court Jan. 7.

 

The police documents released Wednesday include statements from the accuser, his girlfriend, a roommate, the bartender at the Nantucket the night the alleged incident occurred and more. The alleged victim accuses Spacey of giving him drinks, and then Spacey allegedly “continued the touching through the top of [his] pants.”

 

The alleged victim’s girlfriend told police she didn’t believe him when he texted her that Spacey was hitting on him. She told police she then received a Snapchat video “showing Spacey touching the front of [his] pants by the crotch.”

 

Snapchat videos usually delete after they are viewed but there are ways to save them.

EU Slams Concessions to Yellow Vests, Demands Macron Deliver Progressive Agenda

 

Emmanuel Macron has “lost authority” after offering concessions to protesters, the European Commission has complained, urging the French president to plough ahead with “crucial” neoliberal reforms.

 

Brussels will allow France to exceed the bloc’s 3 per cent deficit limit with its budget as a one-off this year, EU Budget Commissioner Günther Oettinger told the German press on Thursday.

 

Asked whether Macron would remain a beacon of hope for European federalists while “his own people rise against him”, Oettinger lamented that the globalist French leader had “lost authority with his budget for 2019”, before stressing: “But he remains a strong supporter of the European Union.”

 

Earlier this month, Macron introduced a number measures including the rolling back of punishing ‘green’ levies and easing the tax burden of struggling retirees following weeks of protest by the Yellow Vests over the rising cost of living, and in the face of plummeting approval ratings.

 

While acknowledging that the concessions, which put the French budget deficit on course to hit 3.5 per cent this year, are against EU rules, Oettinger said Brussels would “tolerate” the 2019 budget “as a one-time exception”, adding: “It is crucial Macron continues his reform agenda, especially in the labor market, and that France continues on the path of growth.”

John Kerry's Family Fights to Keep Peasants Away from Ancestral French Villa, Claiming Terror Threat

 

Saint-Briac-sur-Mer on the Brittany coast in France is a private playground for the European elite.

 

It's also the home of Les Essarts, the ancestral home of former Democratic presidential candidate and former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry. It has been in his family since 1923 and was the place he regularly vacationed as a child.

 

But Saint-Briac is now a legal battleground between the French state and the uber-rich villa owners, including Kerry's family, who for decades have defied a French law that allows for a small right-of-way on the city's beach for hikers and visitors.

 

Now it seems that the illegal efforts by the villa owners to keep the hoi polloi out of Saint-Briac is nearing an end.

 

Agence France Press reports:

 

Hikers demanding right of way along a pristine stretch of coastal France are locked in a legal war with villa owners in a posh Brittany resort town, not least the family of US statesman and former presidential candidate John Kerry.

 

Unless the latest round of lawsuits seeking to curtail free access to the Emerald Coast path near Saint-Briac-sur-Mer succeeds, officials say it will be open to all starting next year.

 

"In Saint-Briac there are more voters than residents – it's the owners of second homes who make the rules," said former mayor Auguste Senghor, a nephew of Senegal's founding president Leopold Sedar Senghor.

 

Under French law the country's coastlines must be accessible to all, similarly to Britain's "right to roam" rules.

 

But for decades Saint-Briac leaders have steadfastly refused to obey via a series of legal moves, in particular Senghor's predecessor Brice Lalonde – Kerry's first cousin.

 

A law that passed in December 1976 ensures that the public has a three-meter right-of-way along France's coastline. In 1982 an order was published demanding that Saint-Briac follow the law, which launched the current legal battle.

 

During the 2004 presidential election, Kerry's relatives kept quiet the Democratic Party candidate's ties to the village.

Egyptian soccer star threatens to quit Liverpool over Israeli player

 

An Egyptian soccer super-star playing for British football club Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has allegedly threatened to leave the premier league club over an Israeli player joining the team.

 

Salah threatened to quit Liverpool if Moanes Dabour joined the team, media reported on Wednesday.

 

According to the report, Salah said that he will leave Liverpool should Dabour be signed.

 

Salah in the past refused to shake hands with Israeli players.

 

However, people close to the Egyptian athlete said he needs to be left alone to focus on playing soccer and that he is a professional, and it is not his concern with whom Liverpool is discussing a possible contract.

 

Salah has had a very good debut season in Liverpool history, helping the club reach the Champions League final.

 

Salah also represented his country at the World Cup.

Saudi reshuffle: ‘Riyadh signals to US foes that it’s ready to cooperate’

 

Saudi Arabia has made a major reshuffle of its top officials. The move is meant to make the cabinet more efficient and loyal to the King and the crown prince in the face of US pressure, a Middle East expert told RT.

 

King Salman bin Abdulaziz on Tuesday issued a number of royal decrees, reforming some parts of the Saudi cabinet and appointing different individuals to various offices. It’s the second major reshuffle by the king after Saudi Arabia changed the way power is transferred in the monarchy and made his son Mohammed bin Salman the heir to the throne, Grigory Lukyanov, a Middle East analyst and senior lecturer at the Russian Higher School of Economics, told RT.

 

The first reshuffle came amid the so-called anti-corruption campaign, which boils down to shaking down powerful and wealthy princes to fill up the coffers of the kingdom while curbing their political ambition. The new round is about placing more competent people in charge while not compromising the powerbase of Salman and his son, Lukyanov said.

 

The need comes in part from the Jamal Khashoggi case and in part from the remaining doubt among the political elites over the reform of the inheritance procedure. The rotations of officials in Saudi Arabia are increasingly pushing up non-aristocratic people, who are making a career on their personal merits..Mohammed perceives them as the future foundation of his power.

 

The Khashoggi case centers around the murder of a prominent self-exiled Saudi journalist, which triggered a major falling out between Riyadh and its Western backers. The crown prince is believed by many people to be personally responsible for the slaying of Khashoggi, which happened at a Saudi consulate in Istanbul. The Saudi king needs to find ways to address the new reality, in which his country’s traditional patron, the US, takes actions hostile towards the Saudis, the expert said.

 

The Saudi government has to act in a robust manner, purging the elite from those deemed too pro-American, including in the cabinet. They also have to show the US that they will not tolerate anyone’s meddling in Saudi Arabia’s domestic affairs and signal other nations that their help would be appreciated.

 

The reform of the Saudi space authority, which is part of the reshuffle, is a clear signal to Russia and China, that Saudi Arabia is willing to consider purchasing space technologies from them, even though Washington sees both as its strategic foes, Lukyanov added.

 

The efficiency aspect, too, is in part driven by foreign pressure. A more competent cabinet will have better chances in preventing incidents like the Khashoggi murder or Saudi Arabia’s diplomatic row with Canada, the expert said. The king and his son are apparently confident enough in their hold on power, since they decided they can sacrifice less-competent loyal people in the reshuffle and appoint others in their place. In the previous round, loyalty to the king’s faction was considered a paramount consideration.

"Everything Is Fake": Ex-Reddit CEO Confirms Internet Traffic Metrics Are Bullshit

 

"It's all true: Everything is fake," tweeted Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao regarding a Wednesday New York Magazine article which reveals that internet traffic metrics from some of the largest tech companies are overstated or fabricated. In other words; they're bullshit.

 

Pao was responding to a tweet by the Washington Post's Aram Zucker-Schariff, quoting the following segment of the article:

 

The metrics are fake.

 

Take something as seemingly simple as how we measure web traffic. Metrics should be the most real thing on the internet: They are countable, trackable, and verifiable, and their existence undergirds the advertising business that drives our biggest social and search platforms. Yet not even Facebook, the world’s greatest data–gathering organization, seems able to produce genuine figures. In October, small advertisers filed suit against the social-media giant, accusing it of covering up, for a year, its significant overstatements of the time users spent watching videos on the platform (by 60 to 80 percent, Facebook says; by 150 to 900 percent, the plaintiffs say). According to an exhaustive list at MarketingLand, over the past two years Facebook has admitted to misreporting the reach of posts on Facebook Pages (in two different ways), the rate at which viewers complete ad videos, the average time spent reading its “Instant Articles,” the amount of referral traffic from Facebook to external websites, the number of views that videos received via Facebook’s mobile site, and the number of video views in Instant Articles.

 

Can we still trust the metrics? After the Inversion, what’s the point? Even when we put our faith in their accuracy, there’s something not quite real about them: My favorite statistic this year was Facebook’s claim that 75 million people watched at least a minute of Facebook Watch videos every day — though, as Facebook admitted, the 60 seconds in that one minute didn’t need to be watched consecutively. Real videos, real people, fake minutes. -NYMag
