UK inexplicably bars WikiLeaks editor from extradition hearing day after Assange handcuffed 11 times & STRIPPED twice

Wikileaks editor Kristin Hrafnsson was temporarily barred from the extradition hearing for publisher Julian Assange, who was reportedly handcuffed 11 times, stripped twice, and robbed of his legal papers after the first court day.

Hrafnsson was pulled out of the crowd as he attempted to enter the public gallery of Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday morning, he told RT, after someone shouted “Where is the WikiLeaks editor?”

Explaining that he was given “no grounds” for the order and was unable to locate the head of the court to get an answer, he recorded and released a statement denouncing his exclusion from the supposedly-public proceedings as “outrageous” and calling on the public to “demand some answers — because I’m not getting any.”

Assange’s father John Shipton also walked out in solidarity, while the publisher’s lawyer Gareth Pierce worked to get Hrafnsson permission to enter. He was finally approached and told “a misunderstanding had occurred,” given a verbal apology and allowed to enter the public gallery, but his exclusion was never explained. Hrafnsson has demanded an explanation in writing and a formal apology. The WikiLeaks editor was equally disgusted by the treatment of Assange himself, who was — according to his lawyer — handcuffed 11 times, stripped twice, and deprived of his legal papers following the conclusion of the first day of hearings. “How can anybody prepare for a trial when he is treated in this manner?” Hrafnsson asked, calling the UK’s handling of its high-profile prisoner “highly abusive.”

This is not a thing you should expect in a civilized country where human rights concerns are highlighted.

Hrafnsson is not optimistic about Assange’s future, noting that the “English court is being misled by Americans who are trying to abuse the process of extradition by mere fabrications.” The cramped quarters — just 12 or 13 seats in the public gallery, while the legions of protesters are kept outside the court compound “for no apparent reason” — are “totally inadequate for a trial of this importance,” he said, observing that despite London’s claims, the hearing is “not being held in public.”

Assange is facing extradition to the US, where he could be sentenced to 175 years in prison on a bundle of espionage and hacking charges stemming from the 2010 release by WikiLeaks of classified Department of Defense files that have come to be known as the Afghan and Iraq War Logs. The US has continued to argue that the disclosures put political dissidents and journalists in danger, but no names of “victims” or other proof have been supplied to back up that assertion.

Italian News: Joseph Mifsud Recorded Deposition for John Durham – New Bank Accounts Appear – But Maltese Professor Still Missing

Deep State Spy Joseph Mifsud is connected to the Obama Spygate Scandal after setting up George Papadopoulos and General Flynn in London. He also was close to Hillary Clinton and even dined with her in 2016.

But today Mifsud has gone missing and it is still unknown which entity or countries he was working for when he spied on the Trump team.

As we noted in February 2019, candidate Trump’s unpaid volunteer George Papadopoulos was spied on by the Deep State through an individual named Joseph Mifsud.

Mifsud’s purpose was to plant information with Papadopoulos (namely that the Russians had Hillary’s emails) so that the same information could be retrieved from Papadopoulos and the Deep State could say that the Trump campaign knew Russia had Hillary’s emails.

Where is Joseph Mifsud?

In December Buzzfeed reported that Mifsud’s passport and wallet sat for 17 months in a Portugese airport.

The items were found by police in a picturesque coastal town in Madeira, a Portuguese island off the coast of Morocco that’s popular with tourists and best known for being the birthplace of soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. The passport and wallet were found on Aug. 5, 2017, some three months before Mifsud disappeared from public view and six months after he was questioned by FBI officers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Mifsud reportedly was in fear for his life after the election of Donald Trump. He is a key player in the Russiagate scandal to spy on and take down Donald Trump by the Obama administration and the deep state.

Today there is a report from Italy that new bank accounts linked to Joseph Mifsud have appeared.

FBI, NYPD Raid Fashion Exec Peter Nygard's Headquarters In Sex-Trafficking Pedophilia Investigation

The FBI and NYPD detectives raided the Manhattan headquarters of fashion executive Peter Nygard on Tuesday morning in connection with an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation, according to the New York Times, citing two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The 78-year-old Nygard has been under investigation for at least five months by a joint child-exploitation task force overseen by the Manhattan US attorney's office. According to the report, at least four women have accused Nygard in a lawsuit of sexually assaulting them when they were 14 and 15.

OUTRAGEOUS! In India CNN’s Jim Acosta Grandstands, Attacks Trump: “I Think Our Record of Delivering the Truth Is a Lot Better than Yours”

CNN’s anti-Trump activist reporter Jim Acosta followed President Trump to India to grandstand and attempt to embarrass him during his historic visit.

CNN previously sent Acosta to Trump’s historic talks with Kim Jong Un where he screamed at the president.

CNN is OK with this behavior. CNN is a joke.

On Tuesday Acosta attacked President Trump on foreign soil.

Acosta was spreading the debunked Russia conspiracy and the latest debunked report that Russia was helping Trump in 2020.

Jim Acosta: I just wanted to follow up on my colleagues question on Russian interference. Can you pledge to the American people that you will not accept any foreign assistance in the upcoming election… And how can justify to the American people having an active DNI with no intelligence experience?

President Trump: First of all, I want no help from any country. And I haven’t been given help from any country. And you see what CNN, wonderful network, said I guess they apologized for, didn’t they apologize for saying certain things that wasn’t true? Tell me what was their apology yesterday? What did they say?

Jim Acosta: Mr. President, I think our record of delivering the truth is a lot better than yours…”

President Trump: Let me tell you about your record. Your record is so bad you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

What an outrageous liberal hack.

CNN is an international disgrace!

Trump says Russian interference ‘highly exaggerated’, blames Adam Schiff for leaking report

President Donald Trump has called reports that Russia is interfering with the 2020 election “highly exaggerated,” and blamed the rumor on House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.

The specter of ‘Russian interference’ raised its head again last week, when the Washington Post ran an article claiming the Kremlin is interfering in the upcoming presidential election on behalf of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, with the ultimate goal of getting Trump re-elected. The story provided no specifics on what form the supposed interference took, but claimed that Sanders and Trump had both been briefed on the threat.

“Intelligence never told me,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday at a press conference held during his state visit to India. “What I’m reading,” he continued, is that “they went to see Bernie and they told Bernie.”

While Sanders responded to the story by denying receiving Russian assistance, and warning Russian President Vladimir Putin to “stay out of US elections,” Trump took a different approach.

Calling the story “highly exaggerated,” Trump accused House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of leaking it to the media, following a closed-doors briefing on Capitol Hill. Schiff, of course, was one of the principal architects of the impeachment effort against Trump, and one of Washington’s loudest proponents of the “Russian collusion” conspiracy theory.

“Schiff leaked it,” Trump said on Tuesday. “Bernie is probably winning… and maybe they don’t want him. So they put out a thing that Russia’s backing him. This is what they do. I’ve gone through it for a long time. I get it. I get the game better than anybody.

“They ought to stop the leaking,” Trump continued. “I can imagine that people are going to go after them and find out what’s happening,” he added, without elaborating further.

“I want no help from any country and I haven’t been given help from any country,” Trump stated.

The president has previously described Adam Schiff as “the biggest leaker in Washington,” and Tuesday’s press conference was not the first time he has accused the California Democrat of being behind the Sanders/Russia story. On Sunday, he warned that Schiff should “stop leaking classified information or, even worse, made up information, to the Fake News Media.”

Between anonymously sourced stories of Russian interference and “communist” and “Nazi” smears, Sanders is receiving similar treatment in the media as Trump did in 2016. Like Trump’s, Sanders’ popularity remains mostly undented by the negative coverage, and the socialist senator is widely considered the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, topping nationwide polls ahead of next week’s ‘Super Tuesday’ primary showdown.

“This Is Absolutely Stalinistic!… Why is the Bill Barr Dept. of Justice Not Opposing This?” – Judge Napolitano Goes Off on Corrupt Judge Amy Berman Jackson

Judge Andrew Napolitano joined Stuart Varney on Tuesday to discuss the latest on the Roger Stone trial.

Roger Stone’s attorneys filed a request with corrupt Judge Amy Berman Jackson after it was discovered the lead juror lied in her communications with the court on her political bias against Stone and President Trump.

Judge Jackson scheduled a 2 PM closed door hearing today to discuss the request by the Stone lawyers.

Judge Napolitano wants to know why Bill Barr and the Department of Justice have not stepped in to oppose this court’s secrecy and gag order!

Judge Napolitano: This is absolutely Stalinistic!… She has gagged Stone. It is one thing to gag the defendant during a trial. You don’t want them out there talking to the press and it’s a way of communicating with the jury. There is no jury. There is no trial. He’s been convicted. He’s been sentenced. The gag serves no legitimate governmental purpose. And yet she’s enforcing it on him and his lawyers. Question: why is the Bill Barr Department of Justice not opposing this secrecy and not opposing this gag rule?

Stuart Varney: Do you think the judge might have a political bias?

Judge Napolitano: Yes.

Nearly 60 injured, dozens hospitalized in German car-ramming attack on parade, police say motive still ‘unclear’

Nearly 60 people were injured when a motorist plowed his car through a carnival parade in the German town of Volksmarsen. The perpetrator has been arrested for attempted homicide, but police say his motives remain “unclear.”

The suspect, a 29-year-old male from Volksmarsen, drove his silver Mercedes through a carnival parade in the central German town on Monday. He was arrested at the scene, after his rampage left "almost 60" people injured, police confirmed on Tuesday.

Of the injured, 35 are still in hospital, while 17 have been discharged. Some 18 children were hurt, including a three-year-old.

The driver has been arrested for homicide, but cannot be interrogated yet due to his own injuries. According to some media reports, the man was known to police, and has a criminal record.

“The motive of the offender is still unclear,” state police tweeted on Tuesday. “The investigation is ongoing.”

A second man was arrested at the scene, and is accused of filming the incident, prosecutors told Reuters. His suspected links to the driver are being investigated.

Security at carnival events in the state of Hesse has been stepped up following the incident.

Public gatherings in Germany have been targeted by vehicle attackers before. In 2016, an Islamist terrorist drove a truck through a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people. He fled the scene and was later shot dead by Italian police. Since the tragedy in Berlin, Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office said that they have prevented nine similar atrocities, including two last October alone.

Horowitz: Ohio sanctuary counties see greater increases in drug deaths than non-sanctuaries

This is not just a drug crisis.

The number of drug deaths in Franklin County, Ohio's most populous county, is so high that the coroner is discussing opening a second morgue to house all the decedents. What is going on in places like Franklin County?

One of the young lives cut down so early by the fentanyl drug crisis was Tiffany Robertson. Her mother, Virginia Krieger, who joined me last week on my podcast, is devastated by the loss of her daughter to fentanyl. "My daughter was an all-American girl," said Krieger. "She was not addicted to drugs and would have never taken fentanyl. She was in a lot of pain because Ohio clamped down on legitimate prescription pain medicine, and someone she thought was her friend gave her what she thought was the same painkiller. Instead, it was a fentanyl pill and she died."

The story of Virginia's daughter Tiffany is the story of tens of thousands of Americans who are losing loved ones to what Virginia refers to as "chemical warfare from the Mexican cartels," not just a "drug crisis."

Virginia pinned the blame for the drug crisis on three government policies in particular: government's overly zealous restrictions on prescription painkillers, weak deterrent against drug traffickers, and sanctuary cities that harbor those criminal aliens trafficking for the cartels. It's that last element that really shocked her as she got active on this issue and began digging into the data.

Kreiger, who has been pushing her state legislators to clamp down on sanctuary cities in Ohio, started a group called Parents Against Illicit Narcotics. She shared with me data showing that the sanctuary counties in Ohio experienced a 17% higher increase in drug overdoses from 2015 to 2017 than non-sanctuary cities.

Here are the numbers from Ohio's nine sanctuary counties, which don't honor ICE detainers.

Authorities Attacked Mother, Protected Abusive Cop Father Until He Killed Their Child

New York, NY — The death of 8-year-old Thomas Valva shocked the nation last month when it was discovered his New York cop father was alleged to have beat him and starved him before throwing him into an unheated garage where he froze to death. Now, as the investigation continues, we are learning that authorities were warned by multiple people on multiple occasions that NYPD officer Michael Valva was horrifically abusing his children, and no one acted. In fact, the only actions taken were against the mother, and helped Valva continue the abuse.

Eight-year-old Thomas died of hypothermia on January 17 after he was allegedly starved, beaten and locked outside overnight by his NYPD officer father. Valva allegedly washed the body of his autistic child in an attempt to warm the corpse, then lied to cops by claiming the boy fell in the driveway. On Jan. 24, Valva and his fiancee Angela Pollina were arrested and charged with murder.

It has since come to light that Justyna Zukbo-Valva, Thomas’ mother, had filed multiple complaints — with physical evidence — alleging the abuse. Instead of helping her authorities simply looked the other way. Not only was she never given help, Zukbo-Valva was treated like she was the abuser and lost custody as the true monster continued his horrifying treatment of his children.

According to the NY Daily News, who received the documents from Zukbo-Valva, after losing custody, this mother feared for the safety of her children, fought to save them, and was ignored and punished until Thomas was tortured to death.

In meeting after meeting with Child Protective Services, beginning in 2017, Zubko-Valva implored caseworkers to get involved and protect her boys now living with their father in Center Moriches, L.I. The mother, recalling a Dec. 6, 2017, meeting, says caseworker Michelle Clark blamed her rather than NYPD officer Valva for the regressing autism of Thomas’ older brother Anthony.

Clark also declined to read progress reports from the special school where the mother enrolled the brothers before Valva pulled both of them out.

“She informed me she will not take any evidence from me,” wrote Zubko-Valva about the caseworker. “If I try to provide my evidence to her, she is not going to take them into consideration.”

Despite clear signs of physical abuse, including testimony from the victims and physical injury — black eyes, and bald patches from his hair being pulled out at the roots — according to the News, Clark, in five reports filed between Oct. 31, 2017, and Jan. 15, 2018, found no safety factors that “place the children in immediate danger” and quickly closed the investigations into the father’s treatment of Thomas and 10-year-old Anthony.

This cop’s blue privilege stretched far and wide and ultimately ended in a child’s death. According to the News:

According to the mother’s records, her estranged husband Valva erupted in anger on Jan. 13, 2018, when Thomas accused Pollina of hitting him. Valva forced the boy to lean over a table with his hands outstretched, then hit the child repeatedly on his buttocks and lower back on the right side — leaving bruises confirmed by a neighbor.

Zubko-Valva filed another complaint. But her estranged husband simply refused to open the door when CPS sent a caseworker his home for an interview him, records show. Three days later, the bruised little boy told child welfare worker Michele Clark that he was still in pain from his father’s beating.

==DC Sniper May Get Parole After Virginia Governor Northam Signs Juvenile Sentencing Law

==

A sniper who terrorized the D.C. area and was sentenced to life in prison may get parole after Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signed a juvenile sentencing law into effect Monday.

The law allows prisoners who were convicted of crimes before they turned 18 and are serving life terms to be considered for parole after they spent at least 20 years in prison, Fox 5 DC reported. Northam signed the law into effect Monday, and the law ultimately ended a pending Supreme Court case regarding the Washington, D.C., sniper Lee Boyd Malvo.

Malvo was serving a life sentence after he terrorized the D.C. area in 2002 at age 17, according to Fox 5 DC. The young man was 15 when he came from Jamaica and met John Allen Muhammad, who indoctrinated Malvo and led him on a sniping spree throughout the United States that ended in 10 deaths throughout Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Malvo was sentenced to life in prison by a Virginia judge, and Muhammed was sentenced to death and executed in 2009, The New York Times reported.

His case was pending before the Supreme Court following high court rulings that juveniles cannot be given life sentences, and that life sentences should only be given to “rare children whose crimes reflect irreparable corruption.”

Both Malvo’s lawyers and the state of Virginia alerted the court Monday that they were in agreement that Malvo’s life term should remain in effect and that he would have a chance at parole beginning in 2024, Fox 5 DC reported.

The prisoner also faces six life sentences without parole in the state of Maryland, Fox 5 DC noted.

Coroner Slams ‘Misinformation:’ Obama DHS Whistleblower Death Not Ruled ‘Suicide,’ Under Investigation

The coroner for the Amador County Sheriff’s Office in California on Monday criticized the spread of “misinformation” surrounding the death of Obama administration-era whistleblower Philip Haney, saying it is “extremely premature and inappropriate” to deem it a “suicide.”

Law enforcement reportedly discovered the body of the 66-year-old former U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official less than three miles from his home on February 21 in Amador Country, the coroner indicated in a statement to news outlets issued on Monday.

Amador County is located about 40 miles east of Sacramento.

The coroner stated:

Unfortunately, there was misinformation immediately being put out that we have determined Mr. Haney’s death to be a suicide. This is not the case. We are currently in the beginning phase of our investigation and any final determination as to the cause and manner of Mr. Haney’s death would be extremely premature and inappropriate. No determination will be made until all evidence is examined and analyzed.

This investigation is still active and will be ongoing.

The coroner’s statement came after the Amador County Sheriff’s Office reportedly indicated Haney’s death appeared to be the result of “a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound” to the chest, prompting news outlets to report the former DHS official’s demise as a suicide.

Gunshot wounds to the chest, however, are inconsistent with suicides, data reportedly show.

The FBI is assisting county authorities with the investigation, the coroner said, noting:

We have reached out to our law enforcement partners in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assist in analyzing documents, phone records, and a laptop that were recovered from the scene and Mr. Haney’s RV. We are currently in possession of his vehicle, the firearm located at the scene, and his RV and we will be requesting evidence processing assistance from the FBI on those items as well.

Our investigators conducted a neighborhood canvas and interviewed his RV park neighbors on the day of the incident along with checking key areas for any video surveillance that may exist from that time.

The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office is expected to conduct a forensic autopsy on Haney’s body, the statement added.

While testifying as a whistleblower before the Senate Judiciary Committee in June 2016, Haney asserted DHS ordered him to delete hundreds of files of people with links to radical Islamist terrorist groups. He argued authorities could have prevented several U.S.-based terrorist attacks if DHS had not scrubbed the data.

Haney’s death has prompted a wave of claims, including from U.S. officials, suggesting he may have been a victim of foul play.

Big Brother UK: Met Police Chief Calls for Artificial Intelligence and Facial Recognition to Monitor Citizens

The commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is arguing for increased surveillance measures in the United Kingdom, including facial recognition, to combat crime and terrorism, however, critics fear the increased capabilities will negatively impact civil liberties.

Dame Cressida Dick, the nation’s top law enforcement officer, shot back at critics of the new facial recognition system implemented by the MPS as “ill-informed”, arguing that the use of facial recognition systems are a price worth paying to ensure the safety of the public, saying that it is preferable to “a knife through the chest”.

“It is for critics to justify to the victims of those crimes why police should not use tech lawfully and proportionally to catch criminals who caused the victims real harm. It is not for me and the police to decide where the boundary lies between security and privacy, though I do think it is right for us to contribute to the debate,” Cressida Dick said per The Times.

“In an age of Twitter and Instagram and Facebook, concern about my image and that of my fellow law-abiding citizens passing through LFR (live facial recognition) and not being stored, feels much, much, much smaller than my and the public’s vital expectation to be kept safe from a knife through the chest,” Dick added.

Last week, the Metropolitan Police began using facial recognition cameras in Westminster, running on NeoFace, a system that creates a list of suspected criminals and scans the faces of pedestrians for possible matches, notifying the police in the area if there is a match. The police say that faces are only stored for 31 days unless a person is arrested.

The commissioner also called for new legislation to allow police to use artificial intelligence including speech analytic software, translation technology for officers to be able to handle the numerous languages spoken in London and “virtual and augmented reality” to assist officers in the field, reports the Evening Standard.

In response to the introduction of facial recognition, the civil liberties group, Big Brother Watch (BBW) called for the “undemocratic expansion of the surveillance state” to be reversed.

“It’s alarming to see biometric mass surveillance being rolled out in London. Never before have citizens been subjected to identity checks without suspicion, let alone on a mass scale,” the group said in a statement.

“All the evidence shows this tech makes us less free and no safer. The 93% misidentification rate poses a serious threat to innocent members of the public. The cost to our liberties, let alone the public purse, is unacceptably high. We’re appalled that city mayor Sadiq Khan has approved such useless, dangerous & authoritarian surveillance for London,” Big Brother Watch added.

The use of facial recognition systems has become widespread in communist China, which has installed over 200 million surveillance cameras across the country as a part of its so-called ‘Skynet’ system. In November, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced that mobile phone providers will be required to implement facial scans of users, in order to further increase control on its already heavily policed internet.

Nearly 300 Convicted Terrorists to Be Released From French Prison by 2023

French Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet has revealed that there will be nearly 300 convicted terrorists released from French prisons by 2023, 43 of them by the end of this year.

The French minister said that after the 43 releases this year, another sixty convicted terrorists would be set for release from prison in 2021 and added that they would all be subjected to additional measures to monitor their behaviour upon release, RTL reports.

“They are the subject of a double measure: a judicial control which means that they are taken care of when they leave and administrative surveillance measures,” Belloubet said.

While many, particularly on the right, have called for the government to enact special measures to keep dangerous terrorists behind bars, Belloubet said, “security detention exists for terrorism detainees convicted of murder. It is a limited number of people.”

“We can undoubtedly progress to guarantee the safety of the French and at the same time ensure the balance of the constitution,” she added.

Earlier this month French intelligence and law enforcement officials expressed concern over the upcoming terrorist releases with the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI) labelling the released prisoners a “major concern” and officials claiming they represented a bigger threat than returning fighters from the Middle East.

Republican member of parliament Eric Ciotti is one of those on the right concerned about the releases and has tabled a parliamentary motion for May in order to allow the government to keep dangerous jihadis in prison if they are a security threat.

French former anti-terrorist judge Marc Trévidic also warned of the dangers of convicted terrorists set for release last year saying, “We are in an area where the risk of re-offending is very high. You must not fool yourself. I would compare that to serial criminals, or serial rapists.”

“It’s even harder to deradicalise people who are highly radicalised than it is to fight against global warming,” he said and added, “We do not know what the good solutions to de-radicalise someone are. Nobody knows how we can be sure we have even succeeded.”

The French situation contrasts with that in the United Kingdom, where after a series of attacks by recently-released radicals, the government is passing emergency legislation to keep terror detainees behind bars for longer.

Ex-Texas Border County Assistant DA Arrested in Migrant Client Solicitation Case

McALLEN, Texas – A Texas border county assistant district attorney faces federal charges for allegedly lying to authorities about a client soliciting and bribery investigation. The suspect’s brother, an immigration attorney, is currently facing bribery charges for allegedly paying detention center guards for lists migrants to generate into client leads.

On Monday morning, federal authorities arrested 27-year-old Cynthia Alanis, an ADA with the Hidalgo County District Attorney’s Office. DA Ricardo Rodriguez issued a statement revealing that Alanis’ arrest was not tied to her work and confirmed her termination of employment.

The indictment against Alanis was not filed at the federal courthouse in McAllen, but instead in Brownsville on February 18. On Monday afternoon, Alanis went before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ignacio Torteya who notified her of the charges and set bond at $50,000.

Federal prosecutors allege that Alanis lied to agents with U.S. Homeland Security Investigations Office of Professional Responsibility, who were probing her brother Roel Alanis for a potential a bribery and soliciting scheme. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, in July 2019, authorities arrested Roel Alanis for allegedly paying guards at two immigration detention centers for list of detainees.

“[Roel Alanis] would then visit, or instruct others to visit, illegal aliens for the purpose of hiring his law firm as their attorney in immigration proceedings,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office revealed at the time. Roel Alanis is currently awaiting trial on a seven-count indictment.
