Holiday homes in the idyllic Peak District are being turned into sex brothels, according to the Bishop of Derby. He claims the picturesque countryside has become a hotspot for "horrific" sexual abuse.


Comment: One second. Had to put on my pearls. I really should just wear them permanently.

The Right Reverend Dr Alastair Redfern has detailed how sex trafficking gangs are using the tourist destination in the Midlands to carry out their inhumane business. The victims are mostly women from Eastern Europe lured to Britain with the promise of a "better life" in the catering sector, but are instead forced into prostitution, the bishop said.


Comment: He knows an awful lot about how they got there...


"Organized criminals bring vulnerable women in and then use a cottage for business. They stay for four weeks and make a lot of money," the bishop told the Derby Telegraph.

"All they are paying is rent. But they are in secluded areas, and before anyone realises what is going on or becomes suspicious about anything, then they are off to a new place and they take the women with them."


Comment: With chains a-clanking no doubt.


Comment: Sex Trafficking is an unfortunate reality, but it is often used as a large cudgel in "anti-sin" campaigns that more often than not target women instead of saving them. The victim narrative is used to expand police powers in the name of protecting the weak, and in the end everyone suffers.

Network of 40 female Salafist-jihadists reportedly "preaching" online in Germany

Germany's intelligence services have identified an Islamist terrorist network made up of 40 women. Female extremists with hundreds of Facebook followers are increasingly filling the gap left by their imprisoned husbands.

Burkhard Freier, the head of the North Rhine-Westphalian Office for the Protection of the Constitution, told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper that the local female extremist network of "40 sisters" followed a strict Salafist doctrine - informing their advice on everything from raising children to interpreting the religious rules of Islam and stirring up hatred against so-called "non-believers." The network was active on the internet, determined to proselytize their Salafist ideology (an ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam) aggressively to other would-be members.

"The women are now ideology promoters," Freier said.

Additionally, the women indoctrinate their own children from an early age. "This makes Salafism a family affair," and the result, Freier said, could be something "much more difficult to dissolve, namely Salafist pockets within society."

What's worse is that these female extremist leaders, some of whom have several hundred Facebook followers, now have a new role in society, feeling accepted and included. "The men have realized that women can network much better and are therefore more capable of expanding the scene and keeping it active," Freier said.

Comment: Salafism is the most dangerous totalitarian ideology in the Muslim world. Feminism is perhaps the most dangerous totalitarian ideology in the Western world. Just imagine what will happen when they team up!

The political decision on behalf of Western intelligence to feed the fires of jihadist ideology will go down in history as one of the stupidest, most destructive, and self-defeating decisions of modern times. You can't trust mercenaries. What made them think they could trust, or at the very least control, an army of ideologically-obsessed fanatics with a self-propagating ideology? Utter madness, and it will only come back to bite them.

Angela Williams spent Christmas Eve in the UAB hospital this year after she says police beat her 17-year-old son so badly that his face was severely fractured and he had to have emergency surgery. The Troy Police Department has now asked the State Bureau of Investigation to investigate the alleged physical force used by officers in the arrest 17-year-old KeAndre Wilkerson because Williams said the horrific beating took place while her son was handcuffed.

Williams has since launched a massive campaign on Facebook to get justice for her son during which she posted the disturbing images of her teenage son in the hospital.

Williams captioned the picture:
"Troy police officers did this to my son While he was in handcuffs. Please share this shit happening in Troy Al nowI hope that they body camera was on and they haven't told me shit yet . Please share I'm heading to Birmingham to UAB he has fracture and had to transport to have surgery - feeling pissed off. "

Pedophile hunter charged by police for doing their job better than they can

After he became fed up with police officers doing a terrible job at catching child predators, Rich Warner took matters into his own hands. He launched a sting operation of his own and was successful at catching pedophiles. However, he apparently became so good at his job that police have moved in to take him out.

Using fake profiles, Warner would lure in these predators. He would set up meetings and then confront the sickos who would show up. Many of Warner's stings have been the subject of high-profile news segments in which he's nabbed child predators who thought they were going to meet children for sex.

As Yahoo reported in August, in one of Warner's stings, Mark Lee Smith arranged to meet the 14-year-old, known as Lou, after grooming her on an online dating site, but instead he found himself face-to-face with an undercover journalist using the alias "Danny Catcher" (Warner) who detained the 28-year-old father of one and called the police.

Smith is a repeat offender and had previously pleaded guilty to charges between June 19 and 23 of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming. By all measures, Warner's actions protected other children.

Police in Minneapolis have removed a candlelit memorial for Justine Ruszczyk Damond, an Australian woman who was fatally shot by a Minneapolis officer, after discovering the shrine was placed by ethno-nationalists.

On Friday, members of Identity Evropa took credit for placing 12 candles, several roses, and a sign that read "United We Stand" outside the Minneapolis Police Department's 5th Fifth Precinct to honor Damond.

The group said they erected the shrine at the precinct because it was where Minneapolis Police Officer Mohamed Noor, who allegedly shot Damond, was assigned.

"One family will be having an incomplete Christmas this year," the group posted on Twitter.

Libtards and Rethugs: Elites laugh as we insult each other

protesters anti trump
No need to be coy here, I'll admit it. There is something viscerally gratifying about putting people in their place. Nothing feeds the ego more and satiates the id as much as clapping back at people who try to shine at our expense. I'm sure even the most enlightened among us have a hard time returning slights with smiles. It's just human nature to get defensive and lash back when others say something offensive and lash at us. Yet this habit of retorting with scorn against those who try to invert our happiness with their cynicism has become toxic and is poisoning the public airwaves - we have become a society of spite and snark.

Nowhere is this contemptuous conniption of ours more evident than when we are discussing politics and governance. Egged on by a corporate media that has monetized injustice and a political class that turned outrage into a business model to get elected and grab more power, we are devolving into the abyss of pejoratives and ad hominem. Matching wits is passe, we now just throw match sticks at our opponents and hope they catch on rhetorical fire. Aided by technology, we have become a Balkanized society where people seek out like minded thinkers and lambaste anyone who dares to think differently.

Schools more dangerous than ever due to Obama's lax discipline policies

Since President Barack Obama pressured educators to adopt a new code of conduct making it harder to suspend or expel students of color, even kids who punch out their teacher aren't automatically kicked out of school anymore.

Previously, "If you hit a teacher, you're gone," said Peter Kirsanow, a black conservative on the US Commission on Civil Rights. But that's no longer the case, he says, thanks to race-based discipline quotas sweeping the nation's schools.

In just the first year after Obama in January 2014 issued his new discipline guidelines - which came with threats of federal investigations and defunding - schools saw more than 160,000 "physical attacks" on teachers across the country. And yet the assailants were expelled in fewer than 130,000 cases, Kirsanow said, citing the latest available federal data.

Many teachers have been sent to the hospital by students emboldened by the lax discipline rules - which remain in full force, despite the change in administration, and have now been adopted by 53 of the nation's largest school districts, including NYC.

The growing number of classroom horror stories and backlash from teachers unions have left former Obama educrats scrambling to defend the lower discipline standards. "No one has ever advocated for policies that make students or teachers unsafe," argued Catherine Lhamon, the Education Department civil-rights chief who rolled out Obama's directive.

Comment: It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have seen that coming. The quota based policy only leaves the school at the mercy of those that flaunt the rules. The students know that and will use what ever opportunities they have to get back at "da man". There never was any pipeline from "school to prison". The school is the prison.

A US woman is suing Apple for nearly one trillion dollars after the company acknowledged it had deliberately slowed down iPhones as they get older. The US tech giant now faces nine suits over the issue.

Violetta Mailyan is reportedly seeking compensation, demanding Apple pay her $999,999,999,000.

At least eight other class action lawsuits have been filed in the US District Courts in California, New York, and Illinois over how Apple handles power management of batteries in older iPhones.

Robots being used by San Francisco animal rights group to deter homeless people

One of the largest animal rights organizations in the US aims to eliminate animal homelessness in San Francisco, California. Now it is using a robot to deter homeless humans from setting up tents on its property.

Earlier this month, the San Francisco Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SFSPCA) hired a robot to alert authorities when homeless people set up encampments in its parking lot and in the sidewalks surrounding its building.

Rather than using physical force to remove homeless people and their belongings, the robot uses a system of lasers, cameras, a thermal sensor and GPS to alert the authorities. At five feet tall and weighing 500 pounds, the robot can read up to 300 license plates per minute and send alerts when it identifies people on a "blacklist."

Named K9, the robot is a part of a fleet that patrols malls, sports arenas, and corporate campuses of companies including Microsoft and Uber. Owned by San Francisco bay area company Knightscope, the robots are available for just $7 per hour - far less than San Francisco's $14 per hour minimum wage.

Poll: 89% say multiculturalism has failed in Bradford, UK

Multiculturalism has failed say Bradford residents
Nine in ten people say Bradford is divided, in a nod to the city's failed multiculturalism experiment, according to a new poll in a local newspaper.

The eye-opening survey comes as city councillors said "Asian youths" had attacked pubs owned by white business owners in November and more generally intimidated women from visiting the town centre after dark to enjoy the night time economy. The council chamber heard further claims that armed police had been required at a recent Jewish community event amid a "huge increase" in anti-Semitism and that people had been caught "goose-stepping" outside a centre for asylum seekers in Keighley.

A report on the story, appearing in both the Telegraph & Argus and Asian Image, asked readers: 'Do you think Bradford is a divided district?' to which a whopping 89 per cent answered 'yes' in a poll of almost 2,300 people. Latest census information published in June 2017 revealed that Bradford is home to the largest Pakistani population in England (20.3 per cent) with a quarter of the population (24.7 per cent) identifying as Muslim.
