London's knife crime numbers continue to soar, as four men were stabbed in a five-day frenzy of violence. The latest victim of London's violent crime epidemic died last night, stabbed in broad daylight in North London.

The man, understood to be aged in his 20s, was stabbed in Islington on Monday. Emergency crews were called to the scene at Upper Street, but the stab victim died at the scene, Scotland Yard confirmed.

Three other men, aged 20, 24, and 28, were also stabbed in London in the past week. The London murder toll is now more than 65, putting the death rate on track to hit its highest annual total since 2003.

Figures published in April showed a 22-percent annual rise in knife crimes in England and Wales. Robbery rose by 33 percent and gun crime rose by 11 percent, while and murder increased by nine percent.

One of the victims of London's five-day stabbing spree died on Friday, three days after he was attacked in West London. Osman Shidane, 20, was described by his family as a selfless and caring man.

National shame, indeed: Report slams UK for failing to go after child mutilators

A report has slammed the "national scandal" of the UK failing to prosecute a single child abuser committing or enabling Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), saying it shows the system is failing to fight the practice, which is associated with some migrant groups.

The document, produced by the Quilliam Foundation, claims "Britain remains alone in Europe in its inability to prosecute FGM" and examines different explanations, including "a lack of witnesses", "cultural sensitivity", and the "existence of legal loopholes".

It highlights figures showing that, in 2016-2017 alone, 5,391 new cases of FGM were recorded in the UK, but authorities failed to bring a single perpetrator of FGM to justice.

Altogether, around 9,000 women sought National Health Service (NHS) help because of the practice in that 12 month period.

The NHS figure reveals around 14 new cases every day, and that a third of women and girls seeking help were born in Somalia.

The report mentions several lines of action, including "identifying high-risk communities and vulnerable girls, training key frontline individuals, incorporating FGM awareness into mandatory sex-ed classes, and addressing the cultural root of the problem".

Comment: Yes, it is a shame. But Britain's shame doesn't end there. The UK has also failed to prosecute a single child abuser committing or enabling Male Genital Mutilation (also known as circumcision), which is not only associated with some religious groups, but mainstream culture as well. Only in those cases, there is no lack of witnesses. But there is certainly cultural sensitivity. Now, how long do you think it will be before Breitbart mentions that? We won't hold our breaths. There's a certain "cultural sensitivity" that Breitbart, among others, refuses to question.

Sergeant exposes racist police chief through secret recordings

Corruption within the American law enforcement system is rife. We are watching case after case of 'good' cops attempting to hold their own accountable, only to be punished by the blue wall.

This blue code of protecting officers, no matter their crimes, is what's driving a wedge between the police and the policed.

To affect positive change, the good cops must come forward and shine light on the darkness within their ranks. They must not be afraid to do so either. The Free Thought Project frequently seeks out these brave men and women, who are willing to do what's right regardless of the repercussions.

One of these good cops who risked persecution and his career to expose his insanely racist and tyrannical police chief is Nathan Roohr, a patrol sergeant.

Thanks to Roohr's bravery, Bordentown Township Police Chief Frank Nucera Jr. has been exposed for his history of brutal and racist policing. As NJ.com reports, federal prosecutors said Nucera can be heard in the recordings using the N-word to describe African Americans, and at one point saying they were "like ISIS, they have no value. They should line them all up and mow 'em down."

Turkey, Japan and Russia have calculated how much US tariffs would add to the cost of steel and aluminum exports to America, and submitted their claims to the World Trade Organization. The countries followed similar moves by the European Union, India and China. Russia estimated that it would lose $538 million because of the US tariffs, which President Donald Trump imposed in March. Japan reported $440 million, while Turkey added a further $267 million.

Earlier, China, the EU and India estimated their losses at $612 million, $1.6 billion and $165 million respectively. The countries that have turned to the WTO say the tariffs - 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminium - cannot be explained by the US security concerns, the issue on which Washington is basing its actions.

Under WTO rules, if any country seeks to cut its imports, thus protecting local producers, it should compensate its trade partners with a net increase in imports of other goods. Washington has refused to do so. Japan and Russia have not provided the details on retaliation, but Turkey has said it would target 22 American goods, ranging from nuts, rice and tobacco to cars and steel products.

Massive crackdown on child porn in Brazil might be largest to be carried out in a single day

child porn crackdown
In just one day, Brazilian authorities went after 578 people on warrants for crimes of child pornography and sexual exploitation of minors. The massive raid is the largest ever in Brazil - and possibly in the world.

At least 132 individuals were arrested Thursday in what Brazilian authorities said was the world's largest crackdown on child pornography and sexual exploitation ever to take place in a single day. The operation was also the biggest to ever take place in Brazil.

Called "Light in Childhood 2," it followed up on a previous raid in October that led to 112 arrests.

Thousands of Officers, Hundreds of Warrants

Brazilian newspaper O Globo put the number of those arrested Thursday as high as 170.

Comment: It would be interesting to know how many of those arrested are (or are not) from Brazil's institutionally corrupt political and elite class - which the article makes no mention of.

The technology can be as small as a suitcase, placed anywhere at any time, and it's used to track cell phones and intercept calls.

The News4 I-Team found dozens of potential spy devices while driving around Washington, D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia.

"While you might not be a target yourself, you may live next to someone who is. You could still get caught up," said Aaron Turner, a leading mobile security expert.

The device, sometimes referred to by the brand name StingRay, is designed to mimic a cell tower and can trick your phone into connecting to it instead.

'Caving to the gay agenda': Christian evangelist Franklin Graham concerned over changes to US Episcopal church marriage vows

Franklin Graham Episcopal church marriage vows
“I’m saddened to learn the Episcopal Church wants to replace the phrase the ‘union of husband & wife’ w/ the ‘union of two people,’” Graham tweeted. “Changing the words of the ceremony won’t make it right. You can’t change God’s definition.”
On Friday, Christian evangelist Franklin Graham expressed his concern after learning that the U.S. Episcopal Church has removed the phrase "union of husband and wife" from its marital liturgy.

According to the Christian Broadcasting Network, the term "union of husband and wife" has been replaced with the term "union of two people," leaving many, such as Graham, in a state of discontent.

On Friday, Hillary Clinton delivered her first official message to the Democratic National Convention since losing the Presidential election in 2016, and she had only one message for the gathered, mostly female, officials: you're not getting rid of me that easy.

In what sounded more like a threat than an announcement, Clinton told the Democratic Women's Leadership Forum that she's going to be a foundational part of the anti-Trump "resistance," whether the "resistance" wants her or not.


Comment: Seems delusional Hillary plans to keep 'helping' the Democrats whether they like it or not:

ICE deports Michigan mother with no criminal record to Albania without notifying her family

Cile Precetaj deported Albania
© Ryan Garza / Detroit Free PressCile Precetaj of Troy sits with her children Migena Gojcaj, 6, and Martina, 4, and Mikey Gojcaj, 11, on Monday, Dec. 2, 2013, at her home in Troy after she was given a 24-hour notice that she is being deported.
A Michigan mother with no criminal record was deported to Albania without being offered the opportunity to say goodbye to her three children or husband, family members say.

While a spokesperson for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said ICE notified family members of Cile Precetaj's impending departure and told family members to pack her bags 10 days ago, her husband said that he did not learn that his wife was deported until 4 a.m. Thursday, when she called him from Germany telling him that she was en route to Albania with two ICE agents.

"My kids are devastated. They can't stop crying," Pete Gojcaj told the Free Press Thursday morning. "My children are traumatized. ...

"They got on the bus crying," he said, noting he sent them to school to keep things as normal as possible. "They said, 'This is not the government they teach us about in school.' "

CE spokesman Khallid Walls said Thursday that the family was notified "several days in advance of her impending departure" and that they turned in her luggage and other personal belongings.

Comment: Liberals are weeping crocodile tears over Trump's calling MS-13 gangsters 'animals', yet thousands of cases like that of Mrs. Precetaj go unremarked.

Don't let the Skripal case be pushed down the memory hole along with Libya and Aleppo

Skripals restaurant
On the fourth of March, in the sleepy British cathedral town of Salisbury, an ex-spy named Sergei Skripal was poisoned by an assassin with the most deadly nerve agent known to man.

The Russian government was immediately blamed by a shocked and outraged world. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson assured the people of Great Britain that "There's no doubt" that Moscow was responsible. In a large and sudden leap forward in cold war escalations, Russian diplomats were thrown out of countries all around the globe, including my own Australia, in a show of solidarity with the United Kingdom. It was the largest collective ejection of Russian diplomats in history.

Two months after his earth-shattering assassination, as the world stared spellbound at the weekend's immensely popular PR spectacle of a royal wedding, Sergei Skripal was quietly discharged from the hospital he'd been staying at. The BBC reports that he is walking and approaching complete recovery.

Wait a second. Haven't I seen this Python skit before?
