UPDATE 1-Motorcycle police in Trump motorcade in accident, Trump limo unaffected

[Reuters]

Reuters•May 14, 2019

(Adds details)

May 14 (Reuters) - Police officers escorting President Donald Trump’s motorcade were involved in an accident on Tuesday in Louisiana.

Trump's motorcade slowed down as it passed the site of the accident in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and reporters in a press car saw at least two officers on the ground and injured. Trump's armored limousine was unaffected.

The motorcycle escorts stopped to deal with the accident, and some of them returned later to the motorcade.

The accident occurred on Interstate 10 moments before the Trump motorcade crossed a bridge spanning Lake Charles.

Trump continued on to an event at Cameron LNG Export Facility in Hackberry, Louisiana, to promote energy infrastructure and economic growth.

They're warming up for the big game by busting other corrupt actors. Hit this guy for violation of anti-bribery provisions of the Federal Corrupt Practices Act and committing federal program fraud. I like it.

We're all gonna want collectible card games with the pics of white hats on them by the time this is all done.

U.S. Executive Sentenced to Prison for Role in Conspiracy to Violate Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

The owner of a Hawaii-based engineering and consulting company was sentenced to 30 months in prison yesterday for his involvement in an international bribery conspiracy, announced Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and Special Agent in Charge Sean Kaul of the FBI’s Honolulu Field Office.

Frank James Lyon, 53, a U.S. citizen residing in Hawaii, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Susan O. Mollway of the District of Hawaii. Lyon pleaded guilty on Jan. 22 to a one-count information filed in the District of Hawaii charging him with conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and to commit federal program fraud.

According to admissions made as part of his plea agreement, between 2006 and 2016, Lyon and his co-conspirators paid bribes to foreign officials in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and to Hawaii state officials in exchange for those officials’ assisting Lyon’s company in obtaining and retaining contracts valued at more than $10 million. The bribes included, among other things, cash to FSM officials and Hawaii officials, and vehicles, gifts and entertainment for FSM officials.

In a related matter, Master Halbert, 44, a Micronesian citizen and government official, pleaded guilty on April 2, before Judge Mollway to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 29, 2019.

Trial Attorney Katherine Raut of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section is prosecuting the case. The Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs and the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General provided significant assistance.

The Fraud Section is responsible for investigating and prosecuting all FCPA matters. Additional information about the department’s FCPA enforcement efforts can be found at www.justice.gov/criminal/fraud/fcpa.

Man, here's another Justice Dept press release from yesterday, again regarding a case involving "foreign" illegal activity.

They even made sure to include a brief definition of FARA at the end of the press release as a reminder to the rest of us.

Kick some ass with those FARA laws, ladies and gentlemen!

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/court-finds-rm-broadcasting-must-register-foreign-agent

Excerpt:

"U.S. District Court Judge Robin L. Rosenberg has ruled that a Florida-based company, RM Broadcasting LLC (RM Broadcasting), was acting as an agent of a foreign principal and must register as such under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (FARA).

The Department of Justice contended in a civil counterclaim that RM Broadcasting has been acting as an agent of the the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency (Rossiya Segodnya), a Russian state-owned media enterprise created by Vladimir Putin to advance Russian interests abroad. The litigation marked the first FARA civil enforcement action since 1991. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers and U.S. Attorney Ariana Fajardo Orshan for the Southern District of Florida made the announcement.

“The American people have a right to know if a foreign flag waves behind speech broadcast in the United States,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers. “Our concern is not the content of the speech but providing transparency about the true identity of the speaker. This case shows that the Department can and will utilize all of its tools to bring transparency to efforts by foreign entities to influence the American public and our government, and demonstrates our renewed effort to enforce FARA rigorously.”

Once more, to make sure:

"This case shows that the Department can and will utilize all of its tools to bring transparency to efforts by foreign entities to influence the American public and our government, and demonstrates our renewed effort to enforce FARA rigorously.”

This all circles right back around to past UN officials and executives.

See previous posts on Maurice Strong, said to be part of the "triumvirate" that was running Obama. He and one of the others are dead now, and the only survivor of that threesome is George Soros.

Strong has an extensive Wikipedia entry, but this was a little more interesting. I don't mind citing Sorcha Faal, but of course, take it with a grain of salt:

Today's Blind Items - Recruiting Time

The person I spoke to compared it to college football recruiting, but with even large financial repercussions. As we speak, there is a group of tweens, teens, young adults and in some cases their parents gathering at a convention of sorts. It is small by convention standards. Probably all told there are less than 500 people attending or working it. Financially though, it is one of the largest. Consumer decisions through next Christmas are being made there right now and your fate is in the hands of the impressionable groups I just mentioned. They are all YouTube stars. Kids that have been taken out of school by their parents to make a gazillion dollars for the parents.

I guess it wouldn't shock you that when parents are involved, the companies trying to get their products to be used and in front of the kids of the parents, it is the parents that are bribed. At this convention there are any number of vices that can be used as a sweetener. Drugs? Women? Readily available. Cash in briefcases to avoid paying taxes? Right there for the taking. Just have your kid display the products because they will set the tone for what every other kid in the world wants to purchase. There are six figures in those briefcases plus more legit money on the back end.

Old enough to be traveling without a parent? Yeah, the women and drugs are going to be sent to your suite and they will stay as long as needed to make sure you do whatever it takes to get those products being opened and displayed in front of millions of eyes every single day. The swag bags put the Oscars to shame in their value. For parents there are watches and private jet rides. For kids there are meet and greet with any of their heroes or vacations. The list is endless. This group of people do this every other month or so. It is full on debauchery disguised as marketing.

Computer Electronics Show, which is probably overlarge to be the most effective for these creeps, or (going on in Vegas this week) more likely the Experiential Marketing Summit

Why the hell does ANYONE think people in the South tend to speak more slowly?

Try on 95 degrees with 95% humidity for a week or two.

And if you wanna get rich legitimately, become an allergy specialist MD. I don't know how those docs can keep up with their patient workload in the southeast. If you didn't have allergies before, buckle up, because if you move here, you're gonna get some.

Blind Item #2

For a few minutes people at a restaurant in NYC were confused. There was a barely legal teen calling this Oscar winning permanent A list mostly movie actor grandfather and then made out with him. It turns out that is just what he likes to be called by his new girlfriend.

Wonder if this guy is connected to the Muslim feds arrested a couple days ago.

Had a compound in New Mexico where he was arrested last year, and feds in Macon County, Alabama found another compound there, and a child's body.

Guy isn't Muslim by birth as his (changed) name would suggest. Born & raised in Brooklyn, were his father is a very influential imam. Got a big-ass nonprofit operation going on. Has been to the Obama White House.

Infiltrators and more than likely planted "assets".

Be careful.

I have plenty of relatives who will talk slow, play about 90% dumber than they actually are, and rip you off in a real estate deal before you can blink.

Southern tradition that not many people know about.

Plenty of VERY wealthy people who don't act or dress as though they are.

Keep our cards under the table.

Discretion, always discretion. We don't trust big mouths and braggarts; they're always full of shit.
