Vatican defends confessional secret as sexual abuse crisis stings

RP from QRes#8817

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican on Monday reaffirmed Catholic teaching that priests cannot reveal what they learn in confession, in an apparent response to moves in Australia and elsewhere to force them to do so in cases of sexual abuse. A document from the Vatican's Apostolic Penitentiary, which deals with issues of the sacrament of confession, said no government or law could force clergy to violate the seal "because this duty comes directly from God. The document, which did not mention any countries or the sexual abuse crisis, complained of a "worrying negative prejudice against the Catholic Church".

Most countries' legal systems respect the religious right of a Catholic priest not to reveal what he has learned in confession, similar to attorney-client privilege. But the sexual abuse crisis that has embroiled the Catholic Church around the world has seen this right challenged more frequently.

In Australia, an inquiry into child abuse recommended that the country introduce a law forcing religious leaders to report child abuse, including priests told of it during confession. So far, two of Australia's eight states have introduced laws making it a crime for priests to withhold information about abuse heard in confession. Others are still considering their response. In May, the California state senate passed a bill to require the seal of confession to be broken if a priests learns of or suspects sexual abuse while hearing the confession of a fellow priest or a colleague such as a Church worker.

Church leaders in both the United States and Australia have opposed such laws and the document backed them up unequivocally. "Any political action or legislative initiative aimed at breaking the inviolability of the sacramental seal would constitute an unacceptable offence against the (freedom of the Church)," the document said. "(The Church) does not receive its legitimacy from individual States, but from God; it (breaking the seal) would also constitute a violation of religious freedom, legally fundamental to all other freedoms, including the freedom of conscience of individual citizens, both penitents and confessors," it said.

Victims advocates said the lifting of the seal of confession, even partially, was drastic but necessary under the circumstances. “As a Catholic, I too am shaken by incursions on the seal of confession. But it’s the leaders of the Catholic church, not civil society, that have gotten us to this point,” said Anne Barrett Doyle, co-director of the U.S.-based abuse tracking group BishopAccountability.org. "Secret church files made public in Australia and the United States reveal many instances of confession being used to absolve an abuser, allowing him to remain in ministry and re-offend," she told Reuters in an email.

Islamic State-linked trio allegedly planned to attack embassies, police and defence facilities in central Sydney

RP from QRes#8819

Australian police on Tuesday arrested three men accused of links to Islamic State (Isis) over an alleged plot to attack police stations, embassies and defence facilities in central Sydney.

The men – aged 20, 23 and 30 – were arrested in raids in the city’s suburbs after their online activities raised suspicion.

Two of them will face charges of being members of a terrorist organisation and of preparations to carry out terror attacks.

“We will say that they had a number of targets, including police stations, defence establishments, embassies and councils, courts and churches,” Australian Federal Police assistant commissioner Ian McCartney told reporters.

“There are still those people within the community who wish to do us harm. I want to say they don’t represent the Islamic faith. Their actions are criminal and they represent hatred and terror.”

The plots were said to be in the “early stages”, but included moves to import weapons and explosives to target facilities in the central business district.

The third man – described as an “associate” – will be charged with lesser offences.

The disgraced male teacher, only named as CMH in tribunal documents, was accused of inappropriate behaviour by two boys he taught at a high school in Queensland, Australia.

In year 12 at the time, the boys claimed the teacher told them about “casting couch” situations where “young actors have to perform sexual acts in order to secure acting roles”, a tribunal document read, Australian media reports.

It added: “CMH told the students about sexual acts he had performed in order to secure acting roles, including giving oral sex.

“He used the term ‘blow jobs’ and spoke of the need to wear knee pads and offered to buy knee pads for the students.”

‘What about Assange?’: UK Foreign Office video calling for press freedom shamed for hypocrisy

RP from QRes#8833

The UK Foreign Office has come under fire after posting a video online that calls for an increase in media freedom in nations around the world, drawing accusations of hypocrisy from those citing the treatment of Julian Assange.

The 13-second video includes the shocking statistic that “Only 10% of the world’s population live in a country with a free media,” with images of journalists and high profile world leaders past and present. It ends with a declaration that “This has to change.”

A free media nurtures free people. Now more than ever we must defend it. #DefendMediaFreedom

On the day Australian journalist Assange ‘celebrated’ his 48th birthday inside Belmarsh maximum-security prison, it may not be unreasonable to suggest that this ‘free media’ video was nothing more than the UK government’s way of trolling the WikiLeaks co-founder.

A thought that appears to resonate with many on Twitter. Some people online suggest that the UK is only interested in a ‘free press’ that reports on “regimes that fall for your benefit,” rather than exposing corrupt governments allied to Britain, killing innocent people.

The apparent hypocrisy did not escape the attention of others who highlighted the case of Assange who awaits his now-delayed US extradition request hearing in February in London.

Australian student 'very happy' in Tokyo after North Korea detention

RP from QRes#8355

SYDNEY/STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - An Australian student released after being mysteriously detained in North Korea said he was safe and well in Tokyo on Friday and intends returning to normal life, without commenting on what happened to him in Pyongyang.

Alek Sigley, who flew to Tokyo on Thursday to join his Japanese wife, had been one of very few westerners studying in the North Korean capital and went missing on June 25.

It is still not clear why he was detained by the secretive North. The details of his release are also not known and Australia has warned him not to return.

“I just want everyone to know I am OK,” Sigley said in a statement issued by email.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Turns Down $12,000 Pay Rise

RP from QRes#8866

There was quite a bit of outrage last week when it was announced that Aussie politicians were getting a decent pay rise.

Different roles received different pay hikes, but the Prime Minister Scott Morrison will add $10,000 to his bottom line at the end of the year.

So it’s come as a bit of a surprise that New Zealand’s leader has turned down a pay rise for herself and all politicians in the country.

Our neighbours across the ditch have the same process here where an independent body sets pay for politicians and judiciary positions like a Federal Court Judge.

The body in New Zealand recommended a three percent pay hike, the same that Aussie pollies were given last week, however Jacinda Ardern rejected it.

She said it wasn’t acceptable and has moved to freeze MP’s salaries for a year.

“We do not believe, given that we are on the upper end of the salary scale, that we should be receiving that kind of salary increase,” she said.

“Because we, of course, already are on a high income … One of the things we’ve been trying to bridge as a government is the fact that we see these increases at the top end of the scale, without the same increase at the end of the scale where most New Zealanders sit.”

Ms Ardern was supported by her political colleagues and when the Opposition Leader was informed, he was also okay with the decision.

The New Zealand parliament now needs to table legislation that allows for the pay rise to be block because at the moment they have to accept the body’s recommendation.

The move has caused many within Australia to ask why our politicians couldn’t do the same.

There was particular scorn about the Aussie pollie pay rise because it is due to come into effect on the same day that penalty rates for hospitality workers get banned across the country.

The changes will affect around 700,000 Aussies who depend on a little extra pay for working Saturdays, Sundays and over time.

United Voice national secretary Jo-anne Schofield said in a statement: “The economy is tanking, wage growth is at historical lows but the Prime Minister and his Cabinet mates will rake in a sizeable pay rise on 1 July.

“Meanwhile retail and hospitality workers are having real difficulties putting food on the table or meeting their utility and medical bills from week to week as they face yet another round of penalty rate cuts.

“Working people need jobs that are secure and pay them fairly – not more cuts that stop them from being able to pay for life’s essentials.”

North Korea says freed Australian student had been spying: KCNA

RP from QRes#8867

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea’s state news agency said on Saturday an Australian student who was expelled from the country after 10 days’ detention had committed “spying acts” through his work with foreign media.

Alek Sigley, who had been held in North Korea since June 25, was an active social media user and also a regular contributor to international media organizations including NK News about his time in North Korea.

“Investigation revealed that at the instigation of the NK News and other anti-DPRK media he handed over several times the data and photos he collected and analyzed while combing Pyongyang by making use of the identity card of a foreign student,” the North’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

His latest post, uploaded on April 30, describes his dining experiences in Pyongyang, according to the NK News website.

“The six articles Alek published represent the full extent of his work with us and the idea that those columns, published transparently under his name between January and April 2019, are “anti-state” in nature is a misrepresentation which we reject,” Chad O’Carroll, CEO of NK News publisher the Korea Risk Group, said in a statement.

“Alek Sigley’s well-read columns presented an apolitical and insightful view of life in Pyongyang which we published in a bid to show vignettes of ordinary daily life in the capital to our readers,” O’Carroll added.

KCNA said Sigley admitted his “spying acts” and repeatedly asked for a pardon. It added that he was expelled from North Korea on Thursday.

Anti-Iran protester arrested after climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge to deliver ‘message to Trump'

RP from QRes#8881

A man has been arrested after scaling Sydney Harbour Bridge in heavy fog to deliver a message to Donald Trump.

New South Wales Police were called to the scene early on Sunday morning. The force deployed police rescue and a specialist bomb disposal unit to help bring him down.

The 33-year-old, who gave his name as Pedro, left his car parked at the northern end of the bridge, before scaling it.

In a protest against the government of Iran, he went on to hang the flags of the USA, Israel and Australia from the top of the bridge, alongside the former flag of Iran which was replaced after the Iranian revolution of 1979.

In a video posted to Twitter from the top of the bridge, he claimed to have climbed the landmark to record a favourable “message from the Iranian people” to US President Donald Trump.

He added: "At the moment we don't have any President in Iran. Our President at the moment is President Trump - you are our President at the moment, until we get a new president and we get rid of this terrorist regime".

He followed this with a combination of apparent references to the QAnon conspiracy theory popular among some Trump supporters, and to the Iranian anti-government group Restart.

He has been charged with damage, disruption or obstruction of Sydney Harbour Bridge and faces a maximum sentence of a $22,000 (£11166) fine and two years in prison.

News from Australia - one of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, "deeply pleased" with his arrest.

RP from QRes#8909

Epstein's Australian accuser "deeply pleased"

The arrest of billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein in New York on child sex trafficking charges is the latest step in a long, emotionally-brutal battle for one of his alleged victims who moved to Australia as a 19-year-old when she believes she became "too old" for him.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre has been one of Epstein's most vocal accusers, alleging he recruited and groomed her as a 16-year-old in Florida to have sex with him and other rich and powerful men.

Ms Giuffre, now 35, broke away from Epstein when she married an Australian man in 2003, settled in Queensland and had three children.

Epstein, 66, appeared in a New York court on Monday dressed in a blue jail jumpsuit and entered not guilty pleas to counts of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors.

"Finding the words adequate enough now to express how I feel is a tall task," Ms Giuffre, in a statement released to AAP by her lawyer Sigrid McCawley, said.

"But I can say, without hesitation, that I am deeply pleased that federal prosecutors in New York have arrested Jeffrey Epstein and are on the case in a serious way.

"It is time for Jeffrey Epstein and those who participated and enabled his sex crimes to be brought to true justice."

Epstein was arrested on Saturday after his private plane landed in New Jersey after a flight from Paris.

The indictment alleges Epstein, between 2002 through 2005 in New York and Florida, sexually exploited and abused dozens of underage girls by enticing them to engage in sex acts with him in exchange for money.

His victims were as young as 14, according to prosecutors.

Epstein allegedly worked with several employees and associates "to ensure that he had a steady supply of minor victims to abuse, and paid several of those victims themselves to recruit other underage girls to engage in similar sex acts for money".

He faces more than 40 years in prison if convicted.

Epstein also faced a lengthy prison sentence amid similar allegations in Florida in 2007 but managed to strike a lenient deal allowing him to plead guilty to two state charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution.

He was given 13 months in Palm Beach County jail, but spent up to 12 hours a day, six days a week, on work release outside of jail.

The Miami Herald launched an investigation, exposing the plea deal and horror stories from alleged victims, including Ms Giuffre.

The newspaper says it was able to identify nearly 80 girls who allegedly were molested by Epstein.

Ms Giuffre told the Herald it was when she turned 19 in 2003 it became clear Epstein had lost interest in her because she "was too old for him".

She said she convinced him to pay for training to become a professional masseuse so she could move on with her life.

Epstein arranged for her to fly to Thailand to take a massage class but he instructed her to pick up a Thai girl he had arranged to come to the US, the Herald reported.

Ms Giuffre did not follow the plan.

She met an Australian man in Thailand, married soon after, settled in Queensland and the couple has three children.

Ms Giuffre said the FBI called her in Australia in 2007 to ask about Epstein, but she was not certain the call was legitimate.

"Then about six months later I get a knock at the door and it is the Australian Federal Police," she told the Herald.

"There was a 12-page document about Jeffrey Epstein and what he had done and how I was a victim."

Ms Giuffre went public with her claims against Epstein after the birth of her daughter.

She hopes other victims of abuse also go public "whenever you are ready to do it".

"It took me having a daughter and looking at this beautiful, young, innocent baby to say 'I want to speak out about it now'," she said.

Climate change doomsday report predicts end of human civilisation

RP from QRes#8921

In the past week, the world has experienced chaotic weather phenomena, from deathly Indian heatwaves to snow inundating parts of Queensland. Now, the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Change has issued a report predicting the end of human civilisation as we know it.

The report, terrifyingly entitled Existential climate-related security risk, glimpses 30 years into the future to the year 2050 — and the results are grim.

Authors David Spratt, a researcher into climate change, and Ian Dunlop, former chairman of the Australian Coal Association and chair of the Australian Greenhouse Office Experts Group on Emissions Trading, propose a scenario in which global emissions and climate threats are ignored, and the trajectory of environmental collapse goes unchecked.

Their conclusions spell out a dire warning…..

RP from QRes#8925

>>6975974

An owl symbolizes wisdom and authority in the dark, or in an unexposed setting. Can be of good or bad intent.

>>6976133

In the Middle East, China, and Japan, the Owl is considered as both a bad omen and an evil spirit. For Christians the Owl traditionally signifies the Devil, powers of evil, bad news, and destruction. Similarly, in the Old Testament the Owl is an unclean creature that stands alone as a figure of desolation. In an Australian Aboriginal myth the Owl is the messenger of bad news. Yama, the Verdic God of death, sometimes sent out the Owl as his emissary.

Indigenous peoples of the Americas consider the Owl to be the Night Eagle because it is silent and deadly in flight, and is a solitary bird with all-seeing eyes. The Owl is generally regarded as a bird of sorcerers because of its association with–and abilities in–the dark. It symbolizes deception and silent observation because it flies noiselessly. The Owl is feared by peoples who believe that the death warning is in its hoot.

You’re outside. It’s dark. You see the moon, but… wait. What’s wrong with it? A weird curve down its middle makes it looks like it’s been split in half. One side is bright, almost glaring. The other is a dark, reddish color. Something is blocking half of the moonlight.

This is a partial lunar eclipse, a “half-blood” moon, and it’s a truly strange-looking spectacle coming soon to a night sky near you. Possibly.

Remember January’s “Super Wolf Blood Moon?" It was a wondrous sight across Europe and North America, but despite the rumors that no such event will happen again for some years, it wasn’t the only lunar eclipse of 2019.

While January’s event was a total lunar eclipse, Tuesday’s celestial match-up isn’t as exact. It’s a partial lunar eclipse and, what’s more, this is one is only for those in South America, Europe and Africa on July 16, and on July 17 in Asia and Australasia.

AI Creates Flu Vaccine Better Than Anything on the Market Today

RP from QRes#8992

The computer-generated vaccine was developed by scientists in Australia, but is undergoing clinical trials in the US amid the researchers' reported inability to test it locally due to bureaucratic red tape.

A team of researchers led by Flinders University professor of medicine Dr. Nikolai Petrovsky has used artificial intelligence to create a highly effective new flu vaccine from scratch, Business Insider Australia has reported.

The AI programme, known as SAM (Search Algorithm for Ligands) is designed to find the ideal chemical compounds that can cause an appropriate response from a human immune system among the trillions of possible combinations.

"We had to teach the AI program on a set of compounds that are known to activate the human immune system, and a set of compounds that don't work," Dr. Petrovsky explained. "The job of the AI was then to work out for itself what distinguished a drug that worked from one that doesn't."

The next step was to create 'synthetic chemist', a random chemical compound generator capable of combining "trillions of different chemical compounds," which are then sent to SAM for analysis to weed out the chaff and find compounds which could be used to develop drugs for humans.

After SAM completed its computations, scientists tested the AI tool's top candidates on human blood cells. "This confirmed that SAM not only had the ability to identify good drugs but in fact had come up with better human immune drugs than currently exist," Dr. Petrovsky boasted.

The drugs were then tested on animals, again confirming their effectiveness.

SAM's flu vaccine is now undergoing clinical trials in the. Before that, Petrovsky and his team complained that they could have conducted the tests at Flinders Medical Centre in Adelaide, Australia up to two years earlier if it weren't for bureaucratic efforts to block them.

"We would love to be able to do our research here but unfortunately we can't do our clinical trials here," Petrovsky told Australia's ABC News last week.

According to the academic, the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network had told him flat out not to conduct the trials, even as one of the trials was already underway. "I've never heard of trials being stopped similarly anywhere else in Australia," he complained.

The team's research has now received funding from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The scientists expressed confidence that their vaccine could one day come to complement or even replace the existing standard seasonal flu shots issued in Australia.

Speaking to CNET about the AI program, Petrovsky said SAM's greatest potential may be its ability to predict a virus's future mutations.

"I believe that only a properly trained AI will have the ability to explore these patterns and choices [in the mutations] so that it can then actually predict where the virus is likely to go next…So we can then use this to get it to design a vaccine that predicts against future flu viruses rather than past ones," he said.

According to the scientists, SAM has the potential to shorten the discovery of new drugs by years or even decades, and save companies hundreds of millions of dollars in man hours.

Three arrested in Sydney over alleged $80 MILLION money-laundering syndicate operation

RP from QRes#9017

A Sydney security company has allegedly been used as a front to launder $80 million for an organised crime syndicate.

Gagandeep Pahwa, 30, was arrested by NSW Police today after he arrived at his business – Assured Protection Services - in Guildford West, in the city’s west.

During raids on the business, officers uncovered more than $400,000 in cash, which was part of $80 million in funds allegedly shifted illegally from organised crime groups through multiple business accounts to make the transactions appear legitimate.

It is alleged that process occurred over a period of four years, with millions of dollars either redirected back into Sydney’s criminal underworld or transferred overseas.

“It was a semi-legitimate business, but it’s primary function (was) to act as a front for the money-laundering operation,” NSW Police detective chief inspector Nick Read told reporters today.

Authorities also seized Pahwa’s car during the raids, believed to be the proceeds of crime.

Police are now investigating whether the alleged syndicate activity has extended beyond NSW’s borders into Victoria and Western Australia.

After the 30-year-old was taken into custody this morning, his girlfriend was then arrested at their home in Merrylands West.

The couple and a third person – a 29-year-old male employee at the business – tonight remain behind bars as they are questioned by detectives over the sophisticated ring.

Security flaw gives hackers access to your photos, videos and voice messages

A dangerous security flaw allowing hackers to gain access to your photos, videos and voice messages has been discovered on encrypted messaging services WhatsApp and Telegram.

These services claim to be safer than traditional texting methods as they encrypt messages so only the sender receiver can read them.

However, cyber security experts at Symantec have identified a tiny window of time where media files could be stolen and even edited by hackers.

The flaw has been dubbed “media file jacking” and affects WhatsApp for Android by default, and Telegram for Android if certain features are enabled.

“It stems from the lapse in time between when media files received through the apps are written to the disk, and when they are loaded in the apps’ chat user interface (UI) for users to consume,” researchers explained.

“This critical time lapse presents an opportunity for malicious actors to intervene and manipulate media files without the user’s knowledge.

“While end-to-end encryption is an effective mechanism to ensure the integrity of communications, it isn’t enough if app-level vulnerabilities exist in the code.”

Researchers said the flaw is due to Android phones saving files to an external storage public directory by default, meaning they can be modified by other apps or users.

It was found the ideal opportunity for exploitation arises in the time between when files are first received on a device and written to the disk and when they are loaded for users to consume via the apps.

“Think of it like a race between the attacker and the app loading the files. If the attacker gets to the files first - this can happen almost in real time if the malware monitors the public directories for changes - recipients will see the manipulated files before ever seeing the originals,” Symantec wrote.

Experts warn the security flaw could allow cyber criminals to manipulate sensitive information such as personal photos and videos, corporate documents, invoices, and voice memos.

“In one of the most damaging Media File Jacking attacks, a malicious actor can manipulate an invoice sent by a vendor to a customer, to trick the customer into making a payment to an illegitimate account,” Symantec wrote.

To ensure that media files are kept safe from malicious actors, Symantec recommend users store media files in a non-public directory, such as internal storage.
