Cop Admits to Urinating on 12yo Girl, Filming It, Trying to Kidnap Her

 

Cleveland, OH — Imagine for a moment that your young daughter is waiting for the bus at the same bus stop she waits at every day and a cop pulls up. The children may feel one of two things, either curiosity or — if they have had negative experiences with police before — fear. However, for one little girl, the feeling turned to sheer terror when the cop attempted to kidnap her and then opted to relieve himself, all over her—while filming the entire thing.

 

Officer Solomon Nhiwatiwa, 34, was this officer and on Monday, he pleaded guilty to this horrifyingly disgusting behavior. In August, Nhiwatiwa was charged with attempted kidnapping, pandering obscenity, disseminating material harmful to juveniles, assault, endangering children, child enticement, interfering with custody and public indecency.

 

“He will be held accountable,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley said at the time. “It’s my office’s mission to ensure he never wears the badge of a police officer again.”

 

That will now happen as Nhiwatiwa pleaded guilty to attempted kidnapping, pandering obscenity, endangering children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.

 

As KXLH reports:

 

The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office said that on Aug. 16, Nhiwatiwa, while off-duty, approached the girl near Euclid Avenue while she was waiting for the school bus. Nhiwatiwa asked the girl if she wanted a ride to school and after she refused, he drove away. Around a minute later, Nhiwatiwa parked his car, walked up to her, exposed his genitals and urinated on her while filming the incident with his cellphone. Afterward, he got back in his car and drove away.

 

According to the report, Nhiwatiwa urinated on the girl’s head, upper body and legs. When the girl asked him, “what his problem was?” Nhiwatiwa reportedly responded, “What’s your problem b*tch?” and then walked away while continuing to film her.

 

The seventh-grader called her mother on FaceTime and told her what had occurred and then walked home. The girl’s mother gathered the urine-soaked clothing, placed it in a plastic bag and went to the Euclid Police Department to make a report, authorities said. The mother said that a records room employee told her there were no available officers at the time to take a report, but she could wait if she wanted to. The mother was told that a one-hour wait time was probable. The mother and her daughter decided they would return to report the incident at a later time. She dropped her daughter off at school and returned to work, then later completed a written statement.

 

When reached for comment at the time of the charges, Cleveland Police Union President Jeff Follmer refused to decry the officer’s alleged actions, saying on that “he deserves his day in court like everyone else.”

 

Now he’s had it.

Migrant arrivals in Europe from Turkey nearly double in 2019

 

70,000 migrants have made it to the European Union from Turkey this year, according to a confidential EU report, prompting some to question whether the EU-Turkey refugee deal has fallen apart completely.

 

The confidential EU report shows that the number of migrants and asylum seekers who’ve successfully crossed over into the EU from Turkey this year has nearly doubled in comparison to 2018, Die Welt reports.

 

From January to mid-December, 70,002 migrants from Turkey reached the European Union, marking an increase of 46 percent compared to the same period last year.

 

Close to 68,000 of those migrants made their way to from Turkey to Greece via the Aegean Sea. Today, most are living in the overcrowded migrant camps on Greece’s islands. The remaining migrants are said to have made it Italy, Cyprus, and Bulgaria.

 

30 percent of new arrivals came from Afghanistan, whereas the number of asylum applications from Syria was just 14 percent. Pakistanis, Iraqis, and Turkish citizens made up 9.5 percent, 8 percent, and 5 percent of asylum seekers, respectfully.

 

Migrant reception centers on Greece’s Aegean islands have come under intense pressure in the past year. To cope with the constant inflow of new arrivals, the Greek government has been forced to transfer thousands of migrants onto the mainland. From the beginning of this year to mid-December, 34,000 migrants have been transfered to the Greek mainland.

 

The quickly worsening situation in Greece has prompted many European politicians to question whether the EU-Turkey deal has unraveled entirely.

 

Under the agreement, Turkey is required to take back migrants who’ve passed through its territory to make it to Europe and to prevent migrants from crossing to Europe. In return, the European Union pays Turkey €6 billion to help with the Syrian refugee crisis. Despite the EU paying this, Ankara has continually complained that the bloc is not doing enough.

 

“It has been reported that in some situations Turkish patrol boats have not intervened and even pushed refugee boats into Greek waters after being notified by the Greek coast guard,” the confidential EU report states.

If You Are Still Watching Netflix, You Are Part Of The Problem

 

The major entertainment companies in the United States all produce a relentless deluge of filth and garbage, but Netflix is the worst of them all. For years they have been creating vomit-inducing movies and shows that openly mock faith, family and traditional American values, but their subscriber base just kept growing and so they just kept doing it.

 

Over the years, the general population has become entirely desensitized to the sex, violence and foul language that is peppered throughout our “entertainment”, and that is extremely unfortunate. But what Netflix is doing is on an entirely different level. They have literally turned blasphemy of the Christian faith into “entertainment”, and apparently they believe that the American public is willing to accept this. The following description of a new movie about “Jesus” that Netflix just released comes from LifeSite News…

 

Netflix has released a blasphemous “Christmas special” movie that depicts Jesus as a homosexual and the Virgin Mary as an adulterer, prompting more than one million people to sign a petition to have the film removed from the popular streaming service.

 

A Primeira Tentação de Cristo, or The First Temptation of Christ, is a production of the Porta dos Fundos comedy troupe from Brazil. In the supposed parody, Jesus is shown bringing home a homosexual lover to meet Mary and Joseph.

 

A petition to have this movie removed from Netflix already has more than 1.8 million signatures, and that number is growing by the hour.

 

But a petition is not going to cause a change of behavior at Netflix.

 

The only thing that is going to change their behavior is if people stop giving them their money.

 

This didn’t just start yesterday. The truth is that Netflix has been producing deeply evil, stomach-churning content for years.

 

And if you give Netflix money every month, you are funding their operation, and that makes you part of the problem.

 

Netflix has another new show that is also extremely alarming. The trailer for the show makes it seem like it is about a modern-day version of “Jesus”, but if you do a little digging you actually discover that this “Christ-like man” is actually the Islamic version of the Antichrist. The following comes from the BBC…

 

The show centres on a Christ-like man who performs miracles around the world.

 

But the character’s name is a huge nod to Dajjal, a false prophet in Islamic theology comparable to the Antichrist.

 

Many Muslims and Arabic speakers guessed that the “messiah” was Dajjal and joked they would need to “grab a prayer mat” after watching the trailer.

‘Brexit is the Beginning of the End of This Project’: Nigel Farage Praises Poland For Wanting to Leave EU

 

Brexit is the beginning of the end for the European Union, Nigel Farage said in Strasbourg Wednesday, as he praised the Polish people for their rising Euroscepticism — which comes as Poland’s own Supreme Court mulls the country’s future in the bloc over the primacy of EU law.

 

Nigel Farage — leader of the Brexit Party and a key, if not the pivotal figure in steering Britain out of the European Union over mocked European Union leaders Wednesday believing that it was business as usual in Strasbourg, and carrying on as usual. Taking his turn in the chamber, the top Eurosceptic said: “You can delude yourselves this morning inside this cathedral this morning, but it isn’t. People don’t want to be run and governed by faceless bureaucrats like Michel and Von Der Leyen. Did you hear them earlier? Dull as ditch water. You are being rejected!”

 

Having noted that the United Kingdom was shortly to leave the European Union — the first brick out of the European wall — Mr Farage turned his attention to others who could follow. He said: “And it’s great news that in Poland opinion polls now show a majority polls think they would be better off outside the European Union.

 

“Brexit is the beginning of the end of this project — we are giving leadership. And we will take it to a Europe of sovereign states working together, being friends together, but not being run by the gang [of Eurofederalists]”.

 

Days before making the remarks in the Strasbourg chamber — the second home of the European Union after Brussels — Mr Farage had shared a Polish news article about the number of countrymen in European nations feeling they would be better outside the European Union, noting “More Poles now want to leave the EU than wish to remain. And nearly half of the Slovenians and Italians surveyed are not happy with bloc membership.”

Pete Buttigieg kicks off his Latino outreach campaign with a slogan popularized by communists

 

Struggling with low poll numbers among Latino voters, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg's campaign launched a Hispanic outreach effort on Monday that included a series of policy plans, websites, and online videos in English and Spanish.

Buttigieg announced the initiative on his social media accounts by invoking a Spanish-language slogan that is raising eyebrows among Latino leaders. The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, tweeted "El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido" ("the people united, will never be defeated"), a protest chant that was famously popularized by Latin American communists. The saying was also featured in several campaign communications, including as a call-to-action on a Latino website.

 

For decades, Americans have rallied to declare el pueblo unido, jamás será vencido — the people united, will never be defeated. To join us and learn more, text TOGETHER to 25859.

 

It is unclear which Americans Buttigieg is referring to, but Latin American Marxists have rallied around the phrase for years.

Michigan Sues Opioid Distributors Under Drug Dealer Law

 

LANSING, Mich. (CN) – Michigan sued a group of opioid distributors Tuesday under a law used to go after illegal drug traffickers, becoming the first state in the nation to treat the pharmaceutical companies like drug dealers in court.

 

The complaint – filed in Wayne County Circuit Court by the Michigan attorney general’s office along with Michigan-based Sam Bernstein Law Firm and nationwide firm Baron & Budd – claims Cardinal Health, McKesson Corporation, AmerisourceBergen and Walgreens knowingly failed to control the flow of addictive opioids into the black market, fueling the massive opioid epidemic.

 

“As the distributors of controlled substances, defendants have special responsibilities to ensure that those drugs did not get into the wrong hands, and to protect the Michigan communities that those companies purport to serve,” the complaint states.

 

According to the complaint, however, the drugs companies “used their licenses to distribute controlled substances in Michigan as a cover for what is essentially a criminal enterprise.”

 

The distributors achieved this, Michigan says, by marketing and selling opioid medications well beyond their legitimate medical uses and not taking steps to stop the flood of illicit opioids coming from suspicious orders when they were identified.

 

The crux of Michigan’s suit revolves around the state’s Drug Dealer Liability Act, first put in place by the Legislature in 1994. The act’s two central principles establish liability based on illegal drugs entering the market in any capacity and focus on “the ultimate harm to society caused by the illegal drug market” rather than a specific determination of how the harm was caused or limiting its scope to a particular drug sale, according to the complaint.

 

The companies’ failure or unwillingness to stem the tide of black market opioids flowing into Michigan from suspicious orders that they either did not report or notice contributed to the public health epidemic in the state, the lawsuit states.

 

The Washington Post reported that over 2 billion pills were distributed in Michigan between 2006 and 2012 alone. According to the lawsuit, there were 2,036 opioid-related overdoses in Michigan last year.

 

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel blasted the drug distributors in a statement Tuesday.

 

“These companies knowingly and deliberately used their licenses to distribute drugs in our state without controls,” she said.

 

Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer said Tuesday that “the opioid crisis is hurting families from downtown Detroit all the way to the Upper Peninsula” and applauded Nessel’s litigation, saying it is one of many steps necessary to fulfill Whitmer’s goal of reducing opioid deaths in Michigan by 50% over the next five years.

 

The key to the damages sought in the suit is the claim that the drug companies knowingly participated in the illegal distribution of drugs and failed to control the public nuisance created by the saturation of prescription opioids available in the black market, acquired via their distribution channels.

Israel’s international war against human rights

 

Israel has a long record of camouflaging the truth where Palestine is concerned.

 

Integral to this, in recent years, has been the growing war against human rights groups documenting Israel’s abuses against Palestinians and other Arabs.

 

Israel’s hostility towards such groups is targeted, first and foremost, against Palestinians themselves.

 

The office of Palestinian prisoners’ rights group Addameer, was raided by Israeli soldiers in September. The human rights group carries out vital solidarity work for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. So, naturally, it has been repeatedly targeted via the means of harassment and persecution.

 

But Israel’s war against human rights is not limited to Palestinian groups – it also targets international human rights groups. The state’s latest authoritarian actions, once again, demonstrate this in abundance.

 

Any group or organisation striving to shed light on, or expose Israel’s crimes against Palestinians, is considered a threat by the apartheid state occupying Palestine. Therefore, they are unlawfully hostile towards such groups – no matter how timid and toothless they are in their criticisms.

 

Amnesty International recently noted that the trend of Israeli attacks on it has been escalating in recent years.

 

The latest such action was an arbitrary travel ban on one of their own Palestinian staff members, Laith Abu Zeyad.

 

In October, he was banned from travelling from the Israeli-occupied West Bank to Jordan, in a clear act of punishment, for his help in exposing Israeli human rights abuses. Abu Zeyad had been on his way to attend a family funeral in Jordan. This ordinary human act was instead cruelly blocked by Israel’s vindictive hatred of Palestinians.

 

The Israeli pretext was the usual nebulous one: “Security reasons”.

 

Amnesty International’s secretary-general, Kumi Naidoo, denounced the Israeli action, explaining that: “The Israeli authorities’ claim that they have security reasons for banning Laith Abu Zeyad from travelling is totally absurd. Their failure to provide any details to justify the ban reveals its true intent. This is a sinister move imposed as punishment for his work defending human rights of Palestinians.”

BBC Director-General Calls for Media Critics to Be Purged From Social Media

 

The BBC has responded to criticism over its coverage of the UK’s general election by calling for their online critics to be banned from social media.

 

In the face of a mountain of condemnation over how it provided a key role in helping Boris Johnson win last week’s UK general elections, BBC Director-General Baron Hall of Birkenhead has called for the corporation’s critics to be purged from the internet.

 

“The conspiracy theories that abound are frustrating…some of the abuse…is sickening. It shouldn’t happen. And I think it’s something social media platforms really need to do more about” he complained. Other BBC employees, who refused to name themselves, also expressed their exasperation to The Guardian over what they called “ludicrous Twitter storms” over “minor errors” in their reporting making it “really tough” working for the corporation.

 

The BBC is by far the most influential news outlet in the United Kingdom. According to the Media Reform Coalition, its channels account for around 75 percent of all TV news by market share and the company controls over half of the nation’s radio audience. BBC.co.uk is also the number one most visited British media website.

 

At no point did anyone quoted in the Guardian article accept that the BBC’s coverage of the recent election was anything other than exemplary, a common sentiment among top BBC employees. Veteran news anchor Huw Edwards, for example, described the idea that the organization was biased against Labour as “risible.”

Since 1980s, U.S. Government Agency Has Paid Over $4B for Vaccine Related Injuries and Death. Still Want a Flu Shot?

 

Many Americans are not aware that there is a National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program for those who have been injured by flu shots and other vaccinations. This is why Donald Trump and many others are opposed to mandatory vaccinations, especially for “The Flu” which isn’t usually fatal.

 

As of last year, over $4 billion had been paid out for vaccine injuries and deaths:

 

A Dec. 1, 2018 update by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) on the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) reported that the total amount of awards to children and adults who have been injured or died after receiving federally recommended childhood vaccines has surpassed $4 billion.1 2

 

The VICP was created by Congress under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 as a federal compensation system alternative to vaccine injury lawsuits filed in civil court.3

 

According to an article published in Fair Warning, almost no media attention has been given to payouts made to vaccine victims by the government, which are adjudicated in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (also known as “Vaccine Court”).1 Fair Warning points out that one of the reasons that the “Vaccine Court” works in relative obscurity is because public health officials maintain that “vaccines provide vast public health benefits” and are reluctant to talk about vaccine casualties for fear that publicity about vaccine injury compensation awards would dissuade the public from getting vaccinated.1

 

The HRSA report reveals that over the past 30 years (since 1989), the VICP has received 20,123 petitions claiming vaccine injury and death, out of which 18,000 claims have been resolved. Of those 17,576 cases, 6,313 cases (about two out of three claims) have received compensation awards via settlements or judgments.1 2 Nevertheless, HRSA does not acknowledge that vaccine injuries are rare and estimates that one person has been compensated for every million doses distributed in the United States.1 However, HRSA fails to acknowledge that there is no mechanism for measuring how many injuries and deaths after vaccination have occurred but have never been reported.

 

The issue at hand is that the number of petitions to the VICP has dramatically increased over the last few years. Approximately $1 billion (a quarter of the total amount of payout since 1989) has been given out to vaccine-injured victims in just the last four years.1

 

Fair Warning quotes Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of The National Vaccine Information Center, who said, “We’re bitterly disappointed. In my view, this has been turned into stockholder’s dream and a consumer’s worst nightmare,”1 She noted that two thirds of petitioners to the VICP are turned away, which deviates from the original purpose of the VICP—to presume causation unless there is another biologically plausible explanation for the injury or death following vaccination.1

 

In 2014, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) was critical of the VICP, pointing out that most claims took multiple years—some more than a decade—to be resolved.4

 

Flu-like symptoms are also common with Microwave Sickness, a federally recognized illness (see 1, 2) and Electromagnetic Sensitivity, a federal recognized disability (see 1, 2). These conditions are caused or worsened by exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) including cell phone and WiFi radiation.

China Violates Disclosure Law to Publish Propaganda in NY Times, WaPo

 

China Daily gave media outlets millions to publish ads disguised as news stories

 

China routinely broke federal law by not disclosing how much it spent to publish regime propaganda in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other newspapers, an expert review of foreign agent registration filings concluded.

 

China Daily, an official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, has published hundreds of propaganda articles designed to look like ordinary news stories in some of America's most influential newspapers. While foreign agents may place ads in the United States, the propaganda outlet has repeatedly violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) by failing to provide full disclosures about its purchases.

 

China Daily has published propaganda in mainstream outlets for decades, but did not disclose its purchases of space in American newspapers to the Department of Justice until 2012. Even after it began acknowledging its relationship with the papers, the regime mouthpiece continued to violate federal disclosure requirements. China Daily has failed to provide breakdowns of spending activities and withheld copies of online ads, among other omissions that violate federal law, according to experts who reviewed years of its FARA filings.

 

The Washington Free Beacon reviewed all of the physical copies of China Daily‘s ads filed with the DOJ, as well as online ads the propaganda outlet did not submit to the department. China Daily has run more than 700 online ads designed to look like news articles and purchased 500 print pages in six American newspapers over the last seven years. These propaganda articles frame state oppression in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong in a positive light and run alongside actual news stories produced by reporters at the Post, Times, Wall Street Journal, and other outlets.

 

Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, has frequently criticized China Daily, arguing that the newspaper should not be distributed to the offices of members of Congress. He said American newspapers traded credibility for ad revenue.

 

"These outlets claim to support democracy, but they've participated in a cover-up for an ongoing communist-run genocide," Banks said. "It's disgusting."

Homeless Agency Director Resigns After Inviting Transgender Stripper to Perform At Homelessness Conference

 

The acting director of King County's "All Home" homelessness agency resigned over the weekend after being placed on paid leave for hiring a transgender stripper to perform at an annual conference on solving homelessness.

 

From The Seattle Times, "Homeless agency director resigns after dancer strips at Seattle homelessness conference":

 

Acting director Kira Zylstra resigned over the weekend, a county spokesperson told The Seattle Times in an email Monday.

 

The spokesperson said that when officials at the county’s Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) found out about “a performance that was inappropriate for the conference,” they started an investigation into the event “and the leadership of All Home.”

 

“The investigation of the event and the leadership of All Home is currently underway,” spokesperson Sherry Hamilton wrote in the email.

 

DCHS chief of staff Denise Rothleutner has stepped in to run All Home in the meantime, according to Hamilton.

 

Judging by the cheers in the audience and the way they threw dollars bills at twerking stripper Beyoncé Black St. James, I'm not sure I would say it was "inappropriate for the conference."

11 defendants arraigned in drug-trafficking ring involving UPS employees

 

TUCSON, Ariz. – A State Grand Jury indicted 11 individuals accused of shipping illegal drugs and contraband across the country through the United Parcel Service (UPS); collectively the defendants face 48 felony counts, including money laundering, transportation of marijuana for sale, transportation of narcotic drugs for sale, misconduct involving weapons, and illegally conducting an enterprise. These charges stem from a multiyear investigation involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and Tucson Police Department (TPD) officers who are part of the Counter Narcotics Alliance (CNA).

 

The investigation began in 2017 when HSI special agents and TPD officers discovered that UPS employees in the Tucson area were allegedly using the UPS distribution network to ship illegal drugs and other contraband. UPS employees Mario Arvisu Barcelo, Michael Anthony Castro, Gary Lamont Love, Thomas Alfred Mendoza, along with their non-employee associates, Victor Manuel Alexander Molina, Martin Octavio Siqueiros-Diaz, and Jonathan Sanchez Gallegos, were reportedly able to ship packages undetected across the country by using closed business accounts. Specifically, between November 2018 and June 2019, undercover officers shipped and received packages, supposedly containing illegal drugs and illegal drug proceeds, by routing them through the shipment center in Tucson.

 

As alleged in the indictment, in May 2019, law enforcement officers learned that marijuana had been shipped from Tucson, intended for delivery at a North Carolina destination. HSI agents interdicted the package in Shreveport, Louisiana, and the shipment purportedly contained 12.6 pounds of marijuana.

 

As part of their investigation, officers identified Abraham Felix-Navarro, Fernando Navarro-Figueroa, Raul Garcia Cordova, and Heriberto Martinez-Bojorquez as allegedly being involved in the manufacture and the sale of thousands of counterfeit THC vape pens.

 

In 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began investigating an outbreak of lung injuries associated with e-cigarettes, or vaping, products. The CDC discovered that vape pens containing counterfeit THC were most commonly associated with lung injuries. As a result, the CDC recommends people should not use THC-containing e-cigarettes, or vaping products, particularly from informal sources like friends, family, or online dealers. More information here.

 

Assistant Attorney General Nanette Morrow is prosecuting this case. It was investigated by law enforcement offices from HSI and TPD assigned to CNA.
