Publicity stunt? Chloe Ayling's kidnapper jailed for 16 years after drugging and abducting glamor model

Chloe Ayling
Chloe Ayling's kidnapper has been jailed for 16 years; found guilty of kidnapping the aspiring British glamor model. Lukasz Herba, however, has insisted that he "loved" the model and that the abduction was a publicity stunt.

Herba, who maintains his innocence and has already confirmed that he will appeal the sentence, was ordered to pay £60,000 ($80,300) damages to Ayling.

The accused, who wore a grey hoodie and jeans in court, was sentenced to 16 years for drugging and kidnapping the mum-of-one. Ayling was lured to a Milan address on the pretext of a bogus modelling job. She was then held hostage for six days at a farmhouse before being released at the British consulate in Milan.

Polish-born Herba, however, insists that the kidnapping was a set-up so the aspiring glamor model could star on reality TV and boost followers of her paid-for profile, through which she sold "spicy"photographs of herself for cash. "She wanted to be a model and she wanted to go on reality TV," he said.

'This Europe is not showing solidarity': After shutting ports to migrant rescue ship, Rome rebukes EU criticism

Having come under fire for banning the migrant rescue ship 'Aquarius' with 629 people on board from docking at its ports, Italy's new government says it's been left alone by the EU to deal with the uncontrolled influx of refugees.

"This Europe is not showing solidarity," Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said, adding that "Italy has to deal with the problem" of illegal human trafficking and migration flows "all by itself."

He pointed out that some EU states shut their borders and refused to co-operate. Italy demands an equal share of migrant intake to be distributed across the bloc, something Conte raised at the G7 meeting this past weekend.

Israeli spy Yossi Alpher admits: We encouraged anti-Semitic conspiracy theories

Books by former intelligence, military and political leaders are frequently tedious and self-serving. Obsessed with securing their own legacy, and proving how right they were about some long-standing grudge or another, such volumes rarely make for much of an enlightening read.

One such book I probably will subject myself to, however, is titled Periphery by the former Israeli spy Yossi Alpher. For all the tediousness one has to wade through in such propagandising dross, there are sometimes a few nuggets of insight - usually given away unintentionally.

Alpher is a former military intelligence officer. Periphery, released earlier this year, is his account of years of desperate Israeli efforts for allies in a region it is inherently alienated from, due to its long record of military aggression against neighbouring countries, the 67-year-long military occupation and dispossession of the Palestinian people.

London has suffered through another weekend of violence, as knife crime continues to terrorize the capital that saw a man murdered and five others injured in a spate of unrelated knife attacks.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan will today meet with Home Secretary Sajid Javid to "discuss how we address the scourge of serious violence across Britain" after the death on Saturday night near Turnpike Lane Tube station in Haringey marks the Metropolitan Police's 74th murder investigation for 2018.

On Friday, a family in a stationary car was robbed at knifepoint on Keats Way, Coulsdon, just before 6pm. Police say the pair made off with a "small quantity of jewellery", cutting a 30-year-old woman's hand as one of the suspects attempted to steal her bracelet.

Massive crowd gathers in London to hear Geert Wilders demand release of Tommy Robinson

Massive crowds turned out in London on Saturday to rally for free speech and hear Dutch firebrand Geert Wilders demand the release of Tommy Robinson from prison.

"It's so good to see so many of you here today, you are all heroes for being here today," said the Freedom Party leader, an outspoken critic of radical Islam who rose to second place in the Dutch national elections last year.

Wilders told the crowd he had come to Britain to tell Robinson's supporters they "will never walk alone" and to "tell the world, and the UK government in particular: Free Tommy Robinson!"

"At this very moment, thousands of people all over the world are demonstrating in front of British embassies, from LA to Sydney, and over half a million people have already signed the petition for Tommy," he told the crowd.

"And all with the one important message: Free Tommy!

"So, Downing Street is just around the corner, so maybe once again, as loud as possible as we can, let them hear our message: Free Tommy Robinson!" he cried, prompting extended chants of 'Oh, Tommy Tommy, Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy Robinson!' and 'We want Tommy out!'

Comment: More on Robinson's arrest: Robinson broke the law - he technically wasn't arrested for exposing the truth. But the real issue isn't Robinson - it's the fact that the government practically allowed these grooming gangs to get away with everything, and covered it up. They have provoked a predictable reaction. That reaction has the potential to go overboard in dangerous ways, but the thing is: they're right. And if the establishment continues to cover their ears, the reaction will only continue.

How the West deliberately continues to fatally misunderstand Russia & Putin

From a talk given to Australian National University (ANU) Business Students, 7 June

Two and a half years ago, in Jan-Feb 2016, I visited Russia for a month. The result was this published book, a literary travel memoir, Return to Moscow. I returned in January-February this year, 2018. I gave a public lecture in the Moscow Museum of Contemporary Russian History.

In the two years since I wrote my book, relations between Russia and the West have become worse. On the other hand, Russian relations with China, and with the whole vast Eurasian region bounded by China, Korea, Japan, the ASEAN countries, India and Pakistan, and westwards through Central Asia as far as Iran, Syria and Turkey, even with Israel, have correspondingly warmed and deepened.

'Dishonor for France' as Muslim rapper who sang about 'crucifying secularists' to play at Bataclan

A planned performance by a controversial Muslim rapper at the Bataclan, where 90 people were killed during the November 2015 Paris attacks, has prompted a wave of criticism and has been described as a 'dishonor for France.'

Medine, who is of Algerian descent, is due to play two gigs at the venue in October. The musician has denied that he is an Islamist but caused outcry in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attack because of his song 'Don't Laik,' which includes the lyrics: "Let's crucify the secularists like at Calvary... put fatwas on the heads of these idiots."

He also released an album called 'Jihad' in 2005, but insisted that it is about an internal identity struggle.

The decision to allow the singer to play the venue has drawn severe criticism from several high-profile French politicians. Laurent Wauquiez, the leader of the Republicans, France's largest opposition party, tweeted that it was "sacrilege for the victims" and a "dishonor for France."

Refugees fleeing US controlled Rukban camp seek safety, food and shelter from Syrian government

syrian refugees flee US Rukban camp
Hundreds of refugees from the US-led coalition-controlled Rukban refugee camp bordering Jordan have traveled several hundred kilometers west to the Damascus suburbs seeking assistance from Syrian authorities.

Speaking to journalists, some of the refugees said the lack of humanitarian aid drove them to make the journey west. Students from a Damascus university are helping to organize the provision of food and shelter for the refugees.

Comment: Apparently, the US-led coalition isn't as concerned with protecting civilians caught in the cross-fires of war as it with protecting its terrorists:

Psychopathic billionaire Soros faces renewed attacks with defiance

George Soros
George Soros, the billionaire investor and liberal donor, sat in his hotel suite by Lake Zurich last week, lamenting the turn much of the world has taken in recent years: "Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong."

His favored presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost to President Donald Trump, whose "America First" platform runs counter to the globalism Soros embraces. Trump, he said, "is willing to destroy the world." The European Union, which Soros once hoped would be so successful that he could end his charitable work in the region, is contending with the impending loss of Britain and a rise of anti-immigrant sentiment. And Soros himself has emerged as a political target in elections from Hungary to California, where his donations have been used as a cudgel against the causes he supports.

Comment: George Soros is cold, calculating and only interested in what will increase his own power. Shame on the Washington Post for putting out a such a softball piece on this evil little man.

'Unmasking the Satanic Jew': Nation of Islam leader Farrakhan loses verified status on Twitter

The controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is no longer verified on Twitter, likely thanks to a tweet linking to a bizarre three-hour long sermon denouncing Jews.

Minister Farrakhan, who is famous for his anti-Semitic views, tweeted the link to his sermon last Wednesday with the caption "thoroughly and completely unmasking the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan."

Twitter guidelines state that user accounts may be unverified if they are "promoting hate and/or violence against, or directly attacking or threatening other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease' among other reasons."

Farrakhan's account was still verified with a blue tick last Friday, but the verified status had disappeared by Sunday. A spokesperson for Twitter told the Daily Caller, that the company was "unable to comment on individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons."
