He was Brazil's most famous faith healer whose "miracle surgeries" drew millions of pilgrims from across the globe.

Joao Teixeira de Faria - known as John of God - achieved international fame after being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.

And Bill Clinton, singer Paul Simon and supermodel Naomi Campbell are among the other celebrities rumoured to have visited him.

His boasts of healing powers to cure diseases, including cancer, brought people flocking to his compound in the small town of Abadiania, central Brazil.

But two months ago, his world crumbled when he was accused of sexually abusing a Dutch woman, live on TV.

It led to a flood of similar allegations from more than 600 women from around the world.

The real resistance: Sheriffs in Washington State REFUSE to implement unconstitutional gun laws

Washington state recently introduced bills for some of the strictest gun laws in the country but they have some very important opponents: the sheriffs.

Long thought to be the last line of defense between authoritarianism and freedom, sheriffs are in a unique position. As elected officials, basically nobody has authority over them - not the judges, not the Feds - no one except the people who may or may not choose to re-elect them.

What are those new gun laws in Washington?

In November, Washington voters passed a ballot initiative, I-1639. To purchase a semi-automatic rifle, buyers must be over 21, undergo an enhanced background check, must have completed a safety course, and need to wait 9 days to take possession of their weapon. And that's not all. A gun owner who doesn't store his or her weapon "properly" can be prosecuted.

Comment: In a country with one of the most pathologized police forces in the world, it is heartening to see at least one sheriff exercise his rights in defense of his constituency's rights. But in the draconian goal of ultimately disarming the entire American public - this mandate will likely and eventually be enforced at the end of a gun.

Empire star Jussie Smollett is in the hospital after two people allegedly assaulted him on the streets of Chicago around 2:00 a.m. last night.

The police are investigating the attack as a hate crime, since the perpetrators reportedly made racist and homophobic slurs. Smollett is a gay black man.

Several media outlets referenced claims that appeared in TMZ's coverage of this matter, most notably that the perpetrators were white and yelled "this is MAGA country," as they attacked Smollett. But a spokesperson for the Chicago police denied having any information about the race and political views of the attackers.*

Comment: Oh lord, another bout of violence or offense taken at the expense of - or reaction to - MAGA being seen or heard.

So much for inclusivity: Antifa leader charged with 'ethnic intimidation' connected to attack on marines

Joseph “Jose” Alcoff

Antifa leader Joseph "Jose" Alcoff, also known as "Chepe," was arrested and charged with multiple felonies in Philadelphia on Jan. 10 in connection to the Antifa mob attack against two Marines in November.

Alcoff faces 17 charges, including multiple counts of aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation, conspiracy and terroristic threats, and one count of robbery while inflicting serious bodily injury.

An affidavit filed in the case reveals that The Daily Caller News Foundation's reporting on Alcoff's connection to violent Antifa groups was an integral factor leading to his arrest.

The Marines, Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres, testified in December that a group of 10 to 12 Antifa members called them "Nazis" and "white supremacists" and attacked them on the street despite their denials that they had no association with the right-wing group demonstrating nearby.

Former UN rapporteur: Israeli expulsion of observers from Hebron a 'wicked' decision

Sign of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron

A former UN envoy on Palestinian affairs has condemned a decision by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to expel international observers from the West Bank city of Hebron, a hotspot of Israeli-Palestinian tensions.

John Dugard, an international law professor who previously served as special rapporteur to the UN Human Rights Council concerning Palestinian affairs, described the decision to expel the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH) as "wicked."

"The situation in Hebron is very volatile," he told RT, adding that TIPH "have kept the peace there quite successfully" even as tensions continued to rise between Palestinians and Jewish Israeli settlers.

The observers have "always played an important role in keeping the peace in Hebron and one cannot imagine Hebron without the presence of TIPH. This will be seen as a green light to the settlers to undermine and to violate the rights of the Palestinian people in Hebron," he said.

Senior UN judge resigns from The Hague citing 'shocking' interference from 'above the law' US

A senior judge has resigned from one of the UN's international courts in The Hague citing "shocking" political interference from the White House and Turkey.

Christoph Flügge, a German judge, claimed the US had threatened judges after moves were made to examine the conduct of US soldiers in Afghanistan.

Turkey's government had earlier made "baseless" allegations to end the tenure of a Turkish judge sitting on a United Nations court known as the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals with the connivance of the UN, he claimed.

Aydın Sefa Akay was removed following his arrest and subsequent release over alleged links to Fethullah Gülen, the US-based cleric blamed by the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, for a failed coup attempt.

Sunrise Lee, a former Insys Therapeutics Inc regional sales director, exits the federal courthouse in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., January 29, 2019.

An ex-stripper who became a regional sales director at Insys Therapeutics Inc gave a doctor a lap dance at a Chicago club as the drugmaker pushed the doctor to prescribe its addictive fentanyl spray, a former Insys employee testified on Tuesday.

The testimony in federal court in Boston came in the first criminal trial of painkiller manufacturer executives over conduct that authorities say contributed to a U.S. opioid abuse epidemic that has killed tens of thousands of people a year.

Former Insys sales representative Holly Brown told jurors the incident with her boss, Sunrise Lee, took place after Insys began rewarding the doctor for prescribing its opioid product by paying him to speak at educational events about the drug.

The Gray Lady's losin' it: NYT flirts with irrelevancy after arguing 'Mary Poppins' chimney sweep 'blackface' is 'racist'

Does the new Mary Poppins film feature blackface? No, but the NYT has nonetheless argued that the movie somehow borrows from racist 1930s minstrel jokes, the latest outrage-laden interpretation of a children's classic.

Mary Poppins Returns is an "enjoyably derivative film," but the story of the vivacious flying governess has a dark, racist side, the New York Times opined. The Gray Lady - known throughout the world for reporting "all the news that's fit to print"- explained itself thusly: In the 1964 film, Poppins accompanies her young charges, Michael and Jane Banks, up their chimney, resulting in her face getting covered in soot. Instead of cleaning her face, however, the magical nanny powders her nose and cheeks to make them even blacker, then launches into a song and dance routine with Dick Van Dyke.

Like so many other technologies that are being developed and thrust upon an unsuspecting society for the sake of "convenience", MIT's new laser-transmitted sound machines (dynamic photoacoustic spectroscopy (DPAS)) comes with a whole set of concerns that most have yet to consider - except for those who know how this this type of technology has been used before - and by whom.

'You should have died in Auschwitz': Australian rabbi target of anti-Semitic road rage incident

A Melbourne rabbi was verbally abused with antisemitic slurs while driving to his local synagogue late on Monday night.

The rabbi, who wished to remain anonymous out of fear of further attack, began to film the incident. As he did so, the man in the car next to him continued to shout at him, "Would you like me to get out and show you what Hitler did? ...You should have died in the Auschwitz."

The rabbi added that the man had also called him a "dirty Jew" and had said that "Hitler should have killed you all."

The video also shows the middle-aged man calling the rabbi a "f***** selfish cu** of a Jew" while they remained stationary at a red traffic light.

He said that he'd picked up his mobile phone to make a call while stopped at the red light when the middle-aged man began yelling.

If you read the linked white house statement try not to puke.
