Report: Google Maps hosts ‘millions’ of fake business listings
Many of us rely on Google Maps to find electricians, hair salon, and other services in our area. Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Google Maps hosts an estimated ’11 million falsely listed businesses on any given day.’
The majority of the bogus listings are found in categories that Google calls ‘duress verticals’ – electricians, plumbers, and towing and car repair services. The WSJ noted that scammers often hijack the names of legit businesses through these listings, carry out shoddy jobs, and demand exorbitant fees.

Millions of pigs culled as swine fever spreads through Asia
HANOI: Millions of pigs have been culled in China and Vietnam as a UN food agency urges Asian governments to make containing virulent African swine fever their top priority.
With an announcement by the UN Food and Agricultural Organization that infections have spread to Laos, some experts are saying it is the largest animal disease outbreak in history.
The FAO said in a report late Thursday that more than 3.7 million pigs in the region had been culled since the outbreak began in China last August. Vietnam has been the hardest hit, culling at least 2.6 million pigs followed by China, which reported more than 1.1 million. All the figures were provided to the FAO by governments of countries affected by the epidemic.

Fed eases regulatory burden for small US banks
More small US banks will now be eligible for “streamlined reporting”, the Federal Reserve and other regulators announced on 17 June.
The decision was announced in a joint statement by the Fed, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The move is the latest step in reducing US financial regulation prompted by legislative changes passed by Republican lawmakers in May last year.
The rule affects financial institutions with less than $5 billion

How it went down: The raid that gutted a major Australian broking firm
The staff raid that led to the near-gutting of broking and financial services firm CLSA by US aggressor Jefferies was swift, strategically executed and choreographed with precision.
It was 4pm Australian time on Friday June 7, when the head of human relations at CLSA’s Hong Kong parent Citic Securities received an email dump – 26 simultaneous resignation alerts, and all from Australia.
It was the ultimate hit list – ranging from its local chief executive Andrew Norman and head of research Richard Johnson, sales boss Ed Clegg and head of trading Karl Guilfoyle to sales staff and highly rated analysts.
The media didn’t have to search hard for the reasons. In late 2018, the five-year ‘hands off’ agreement between Western-modelled CLSA and its Chinese parent had expired. The Chinese management tentacles had begun to wrap around CLSA – and the ensuing culture clash was deafening, according to former management.

Around its various territories, CLSA’s management bonuses had been slashed by about 60 per cent as mainland China overlords couldn’t understand nor stomach the wages paid to Hong Kong and international operatives.
The New York-based Jefferies, which had been light on the ground in Asia and Australia, saw the opportunity and began planning.

Where are the Iranian forces in Syria? (map)
BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:20 P.M.) – The Iranian military, in particular, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), is one of the foreign forces invited by the Syrian government to take part in operations inside the country.
However, since their entry into the Syrian War, there have been constant rumors about their whereabouts and their activities.
With the help of Syrian military sources, Al-Masdar was able to pinpoint the locations where the Iranian military, both IRGC and allied forces, are present.
As illustrated in the map above, the Iranian military and their allied paramilitaries currently possess a large presence in the Euphrates River Valley. The cities of Albukamal, Al-Mayadeen, and Deir Ezzor have IRGC personnel present.
These Iranian military units are working with the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in their current battle against the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh).
Other areas with a large Iranian military presence include Al-Safira (largest Iranian base in northern Syria), Al-Zahra’a, Nubl, Sayyeda Zaynab, Yalda, Salma, Tal Al-Eis, and the eastern region of Homs

Total cover-up: Planned Parenthood’s health violations sealed by pro-abortion court judge
Margaret Sanger’s legacy has reportedly been granted approval by Circuit Court Judge Michael Stelzer to seal the list of health violations that recently led to the temporary closure of Missouri’s only abortion clinic, located in St. Louis.
Reproductive Health Services (RHS) of Planned Parenthood had earlier requested to have the official “statement of deficiencies” filed by Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) officially sealed in order to conceal from the public the horrors that had been taking place at Planned Parenthood’s only abortion clinic in Missouri, to which pro-life groups vehemently objected.
But Planned Parenthood has now been granted its wish, as the deficiency report is no longer publicly available – though it was obtained and uploaded to the web by the abortion clinic watchdog group Operation Rescue before Judge Stelzer approved the document’s official sealing.

The Crackdown: MSM come after Free Press over Far-Right Murder in Germany
The attack on free speech in the name of combating violence and “hate speech” continues to escalate: In Germany, MSM are trying to frame alternative media for the murder of CDU politician Walter Lübcke by a deranged far-right crazy.
Kassel regional government president Walter Lübcke, a member of Angela Merkel’s CDU, became a controversial figure in 2015 at the height of Merkel’s refugee influx, when he told a critic at a public debate, “If you don’t like the values of this country, you’re free to leave at any time.” The remark caused an uproar in patriotic German circles, Lübcke received a torrent of threats and online abuse which had since faded, however.
On June 2 of this year, Lübcke was found shot in the head in his yard. On June 15, suspect Stefan E. was arrested, who is active in far-right paramilitary group Combat 18 and was convicted of bombing a refugee home in 1993.
Mainstream media are now blaming alternative media in Germany for this crime. As Soros-funded “Hate Speech monitor” Amadeu Antonio Foundation and blog Volksverpetzer reported, a reader had posted the (publicly available) office address of Dr. Walter Lübcke in the comments section of leading German alternative news site Politically Incorrect in 2015.

Nxivm’s Keith Raniere Convicted in Trial Exposing Sex Cult’s Inner Workings
Mr. Raniere set up a harem of sexual “slaves” who were branded with his initials and kept in line by blackmail.
June 19, 2019
He was a con man who stole money and created a harem of sexual “slaves,” branded with his initials and kept in line with blackmail, prosecutors said. But he claimed he was only helping his followers reach personal fulfillment by breaking down emotional barriers.
On Wednesday, jurors in Federal District Court in Brooklyn sided with prosecutors. They found Keith Raniere, the leader of the cultlike group near Albany known as Nxivm, guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking, ending a six-week trial that exposed the sordid inner workings of the organization.

Belgian prime minister cited as a potential candidate to lead European Council
Outgoing Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel was mentioned on Thursday in European circles as a potential successor to Poland’s Donald Tusk at the helm of the European Council.
Tusk himself has reportedly mentioned the name of the Belgian liberal leader to heads of State and Government on the Council to know their feelings in that regard, according to the Politico news site,
Nominations for top European posts are on the agenda of the European leaders at a Thursday afternoon summit. The posts include the presidency of the European Commission and European Council, the management of the European Central Bank and the post of High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs.
The Liberal family, to which Charles Michel belongs, has been focusing above all on Denmark’s Margrethe Vestager. She has a good chance of being elected to the presidency of the Commission, Liberal representatives say.
The possibility of the European leaders reaching an agreement on the nominations by Thursday night seemed slim, but not impossible.

Oregon Republican senator threatens state troopers, warns them to ‘come heavily armed’
Tensions were already smoldering in the Oregon Senate Wednesday, when Sen. Brian Boquist, R-Dallas, poured gasoline on the situation, suggesting he would shoot and potentially kill any state trooper sent to haul him unwillingly back to the Capitol.
After Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger Jr. said Tuesday that his caucus was “prepared to take actions” to prevent passage of a major climate change bill, Gov. Brown announced on Wednesday that she was ready to answer Republican stonewalling by calling lawmakers back for a special session.
Brown hinted that she would be willing to send state troopers to round up Republicans if they walk out in the final days of the regular legislative session, saying in a statement that she is “in close communication with Oregon State Police.” That’s an option Democratic senators and the governor did not use earlier this year, when Senate Republicans first brought the Senate to a standstill by walking out and preventing the necessary quorum.
The governor’s hint that she would consider sending troopers in the event of a second walkout triggered an aggressive response from Boquist, which was captured by a KGW news team at the Capitol.
“This is what I told the superintendent,” Boquist said, referring to OSP Superintendent Travis Hampton. “Send bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”

Alexa, Eavesdrop On My House All Day Under The Guise Of Protecting Me From A Heart Attack
Today in “Amazon’s reasons to listen to everything that’s going on inside your household” news, its being reported that products like the Amazon Echo could one day be used to detect signs of cardiac arrest, according to Bloomberg.
The first signs of cardiac arrest are usually irregular gasps of breath, and researchers at the University of Washington have developed an AI powered tool that could be used on smart speakers to detect such noises. From there, the smart speaker could alert emergency services.
All it has to do is eavesdrop on everything going in your house, all the time.
Dr Jacob Sunshine, assistant professor of anaesthesiology and pain medicine said: “This kind of breathing happens when a patient experiences really low oxygen levels.”
He continued: “It’s sort of a guttural gasping noise, and its uniqueness makes it a good audio biomarker to use to identify if someone is experiencing a cardiac arrest.”

Largest Oil Refinery On The East Coast Explodes, Rocks Houses Miles Away
The largest oil refinery on the Eastern Seaboard experienced an explosion Friday morning that rocked houses miles away and even knocked the art off of Philadelphia residents’ walls.
Fire crews battled flames at Philadelphia Energy Solutions after a vat of butane ignited and exploded around 4 a.m., reported NBC Philadelphia. No one was injured because workers were not near the vat when it caught fire, even though the flames caused smaller explosions as it spread.

The reason behind corporations for abortion
Tom Cotton reminds us that too many corporations are brutally pro-abortion — a sickness that begins in America’s institutions of higher indoctrination.
I learned at Ace of Spades that Sen. Tom Cotton (R. Arkansas) delivered a powerful speech today about the way in which corporations are using their wealth and power to advance a hardcore Leftist agenda. I have just one point to make about that subject, and then I’ll embed the video of his speech, along with a transcript from his office.
A lot of people ask why corporations have become so Left wing. After all, shouldn’t they be avatars of capitalism? Whatever happened to the good old days of corporate leaders believing in capitalism and free market? Why are they all Lefties now?
The answer is simple: With almost no exceptions, modern corporate management, from the CEO down to the lowliest manager, graduated from America’s colleges and universities. In addition, depending on how white collar the corporation is, every other employee is also a college/university graduate. Here are just four off-the-top-of-my-head examples of insanity at three major American institutions.

Two Businessmen Convicted of International Bribery Offenses
Schemed to Bribe High-Level Officials in Haiti
A federal jury in Boston found the chairman and CEO of an investment firm and a member of the investment firm’s board of directors guilty today for their participation in a scheme to bribe officials of the Republic of Haiti in exchange for business advantages for the investment firm.
Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling of the District of Massachusetts and Special Agent in Charge Joseph R. Bonavolonta of the FBI’s Boston Field Office made the announcement.
Roger Richard Boncy, 74, a dual U.S. and Haitian citizen who resides in Madrid, Spain, and Joseph Baptiste, DDS, 66, of Fulton, Maryland, were found guilty after a two-week jury trial before U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs of the District of Massachusetts of one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the Travel Act. Baptiste was also convicted of one count of violating the Travel Act and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Boncy and Baptiste are scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Burroughs on Sept. 12, 2019.
“Richard Boncy and Joe Baptiste conspired to pay millions of dollars in bribes to Haitian officials to do business there,” said Assistant Attorney General Benczkowski. “Today’s guilty verdict sends a strong message that those who use corrupt means to obtain unfair and illegal business advantages will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible by the Department of Justice.”
“Bribery of public officials corrodes public trust and victimizes the public these officials are supposed to serve,” said U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling. “We will continue to target Americans who try to bribe foreign public officials for business advantage.”

Iranian Resistance March In Brussels – We Support a “Free Iran”
NCRI President Maryam Rajavi called on the European Union to designate Iran’s IRGC and the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) as terrorist organizations.
“Iran’s operatives must face justice in a court of law, be punished and expelled from Europe,” Mrs. Rajavi said.
The large rally held by supporters of the Iranian opposition group People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Brussels on Saturday, June 15, 2019, received widespread media coverage.
Radio France International posted a report of the Brussels demonstration emphasizing how the protesters called for democratic change in Iran and firm support from leaders of the international community. PMOI/MEK spokesperson Shahin Ghobadi said, “We want to support the Iranian people in their struggle to establish democracy.”
Sen. Ingrid Betancourt, the former Colombian presidential candidate, also attended this PMOI/MEK rally.
“What is dangerous is not opposing the mullahs’ regime. In fact, it is dangerous to continue kneeling before Tehran. What is immoral and dangerous is choosing to not take any measures due to fear of the consequences, and thus facing this regime’s immoral responses,” she emphasized.
