Feds: New York City cop plotted with woman to molest her baby — and they recorded it all on Skype

DAVID EDWARDS 30 OCT 2014 AT 11:48 ET A New York City police officer and a woman from Colorado were indicted this week for conspiring online to molest her 1-year-old child. Sgt. Alberto Randazzo was arrested last year on charges of using a child in a sexual performance, promoting sexual performance by a child and possessing a sexual performance by a child. But new court documents obtained by the New York Daily News describe in detail the shocking 2010 Skype video chats where Keira Norton carries out the sex acts as Randazzo instructs her. At least 11 Skype video files were recovered by investigators. It was not clear why the woman agreed to molest her child, according to the Daily News. Both Randazzo and Norton face up to 15 years in jail if convicted. HT: Raw Story

Lindsey Graham unfiltered: jokes about white men, Baptists

By Peter Hamby, CNN National Political Reporter updated 8:07 PM EDT, Wed October 29, 2014 Washington (CNN) -- South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is toying with the idea of a presidential bid, joked in a private gathering this month that "white men who are in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency," according to an audio recording of his comments provided to CNN. In the meeting, the Republican also cracked wise about Baptists, saying "they're the ones who drink and don't admit it," a variation of a joke he sometimes tells in public. Graham's folksy sense of humor and his shoot-from-the-hip style are part of his political appeal, and well-known to journalists and his colleagues in the Senate. But the behind-closed-doors remarks are a departure from the G-rated jokes he tells in public, and another reminder for politicians in the iPhone era that they are rarely far from a microphone, no matter how private the setting. The audio snippets were provided to CNN on Wednesday by two separate South Carolina Democrats who received the recordings from a person using an anonymous Gmail address. Graham confirmed the recordings in an interview Wednesday with CNN. read more

Sergeants in the LA Sheriff Dept attempted to lie and arrest FBI agent

Lying to the FBI is a crime, as Sgt. Craig would soon find out. Marx was not "a named suspect in a felony complaint" and Craig knew he could not arrest the FBI agent for her role in the FBI's undercover operation at Men's Central Jail. The FBI sting included smuggling a contraband cell phone into inmate-turned-FBI informant Anthony Brown through a corrupt sheriff's deputy who accepted a cash bribe from an undercover FBI agent. read more...

#Conservative talk show host #MichaelSavage attacks veterans with #PTSD




SUBMITTED BY Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 10/21/2014 11:25 am Last week on his talk radio program, Michael Savage got into an argument with a caller over whether California lawmakers should rename a San Francisco tunnel in honor of Robin Williams. The caller, who said he was a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), defended the move, while Savage objected to the plan, claiming that it would promote suicide. After a lengthy argument, Savage hung up on the caller and proceeded to attack him. “I am so sick and tired with everyone with their complaints about PTSD, depression. Everyone wants their hand held and a check, a government check. What, are you the only generation that had PTSD? The only generation that’s depressed?” He then blamed America’s problems on those who “cry like a little baby” over depression: “If the whole nation is told, ‘boo-hoo-hoo, come and get a medication, come and get treatment, talk about mental illness,’ you know what you wind up with? You wind up with Obama in the White House and lawyers in every phase of the government, that’s what you wind up with. It’s a weak, sick nation. A weak, sick, broken nation.” Savage continued that veterans with PTSD are a “bunch of losers” and recommended that they be more like Michael Savage. “You need men like me to save the country,” he said. “You need men to stand up and say stop crying like a baby over everything.” He continued that “men are so weak and so narcissistic” that it is “no wonder ISIS can defeat our military.” - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/michael-savage-veterans-ptsd-are-destroying-america#sthash.4T2BZ1LO.dpuf

VIDEO: Uncovering secret chemical weapon victims of the Iraq war NYT/PBS





During the Iraq war, American soldiers were unknowingly exposed to old chemical weapons long-abandoned by Saddam Hussein’s regime. The story of the troops who were injured trying dismantle the contaminated weapons has been kept secret until now. Judy Woodruff learns more from C.J. Chivers of The New York Times about his investigation.

Chinese Government Censors TV - Big Brother in the living room


REPOST: I thought it may be interesting for some of you that have not lived in a censored country or had your freedom of speech removed, to see how this works in practice with regards to simple things - like watching the news. I am a European living in Mainland China, next to HK. Almost all foreign social media / media is blocked, which leaves us with just a few channels on TV showing international news broadcasts. The feed is delayed a few seconds (as you can see by the mismatch between audio and image); as soon as the TV channel shows something which is contrary to the government policy (i.e. Hong Kong protests, the Dalai Lama, reporting pieces on the wealth of the CCP party leaders) then the feed gets cut, the TV goes black - and bizarrely - we get to watch a loop feed of parries and flowers, with a subtitle that says the 'signal has technical problems'…. The first time this happened to me in a hotel I thought i had inadvertently broken the TV. Now after a few years of no NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg, Reuters, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Google, Gmail (list goes on and on) a dark reality sets in. We can still access some content (like LL) with costly VPNs which slow down our browsing rate, but that is not the issue. The collective society's minds are kept isolated, controlled and confirmative… and that is the gravest problem. When the currently leadership is dead and gone - who knows what their youth of tomorrow - never having been offered the possibility of free thought, will do. This is my first post so take it easy ;) will try to bring you more extreme and crazy clips from China as we go on.

The War On Democracy (John Pilger's documentary)





Click the Subtitles Icon and choose required subtitles.
________________________________________­_____________

Documentary
United Kingdom / Australia, 2007

Directed by: John Pilger, Christopher Martin
Producers: Christopher Martin, Wayne Young
Editor: Joe Frost
The film was made with the support of the humanitarian financier Michael Watt.

'The War On Democracy' (2007) was John Pilger's first for cinema. It explores the current and past relationship of Washington with Latin American countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile.

Using archive footage sourced by Michael Moore's archivist Carl Deal, the film shows how serial US intervention, overt and covert, has toppled a series of legitimate governments in the Latin American region since the 1950s. The democratically elected Chilean government of Salvador Allende, for example, was ousted by a US backed coup in 1973 and replaced by the military dictatorship of General Pinochet. Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador have all been invaded by the United States.

John Pilger interviews several ex-CIA agents who took part in secret campaigns against democratic countries in the region. He investigates the School of the Americas in the US state of Georgia, where Pinochet's torture squads were trained along with tyrants and death squad leaders in Haiti, El Salvador, Brazil and Argentina.

The film unearths the real story behind the attempted overthrow of Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez in 2002 and how the people of the barrios of Caracas rose up to force his return to power.

It also looks at the wider rise of populist governments across South America lead by indigenous leaders intent on loosening the shackles of Washington and a fairer redistribution of the continent's natural wealth.

John Pilger says: "[The film] is about the struggle of people to free themselves from a modern form of slavery". These people, he says, "describe a world not as American presidents like to see it as useful or expendable, they describe the power of courage and humanity among people with next to nothing. They reclaim noble words like democracy, freedom, liberation, justice, and in doing so they are defending the most basic human rights of all of us in a war being waged against all of us."

'The War On Democracy' was a Youngheart Entertainment, Granada and Michael Watt production. It was released in UK cinemas on 15 June 2007 and broadcast on ITV1, 20 August 2007.

VIDEO: NYPD Officer Hits Unarmed Teen in the Face With His Gun

BROOKLYN — Two NYPD officers are under criminal investigation after punching and using a gun to bash a 16-year-old suspect in the face despite the teen raising his hands to surrender, according to a video obtained by DNAinfo New York. The surveillance footage obtained exclusively by “On The Inside" shows the two officers catch up to marijuana suspect Kahreem Tribble after a brief chase in Bedford-Stuyvesant. As the teen stops running, one officer throws a punch at his face. Then, as the suspect raises his hands, the other officer hits him with his gun. Tribble was arrested for possessing 17 small bags of marijuana and disorderly conduct on Aug. 29. At his arraignment, he pleaded guilty to a violation and was released with cracked teeth and bruises.
