A Russian priest, father of four, has been found guilty of sexually abusing underage girls at Orthodox summer camps in Russia and Greece. He was sentenced to 14 years in a maximum security prison.

A court in the Leningrad region found Gleb Grozovsky, 38, guilty of molesting three underage girls. It has been reported that the court included the time he has already served since his arrest in 2014 in the sentence. In addition to his jail term, the priest will also have to pay each victim 400,000 rubles ($7,000) in moral damages.

Months after he was abruptly escorted from his office and placed on leave pending a disciplinary review, intelligence community whistleblower ombudsman Dan Meyer is speaking out.

In a statement released to Government Executive on Tuesday, Meyer rebutted in general terms the still-confidential accusations of issues related to workplace conduct and handling of classified material cited against him by acting intelligence community inspector general Wayne Stone and counsel Jeannette McMillian.

Meyer, who for the past four years has served as executive director of Intelligence Community Whistleblowing and Source Protection, has come under fire amidst a move to reduce his role in educating employees at the 17 intelligence agencies about their rights and obligations in reporting alleged waste, fraud and abuse.

Ukraine vaccination
This is a sad day for the "Mother of Russian Cities" - Kiev and for all Europe, as archaic diseases are returning to Ukraine unprecedented in the civilized world.
"The Civilized world has already been rid of [these diseases] and never seen them in their lives" said Ukrainian Doctor Olga Golubkovskaya.
It is with no pleasure that we present this video to you, but with great sorrow for our Ukrainian brothers and sisters. This is not the "dignity" they were promised by the West. If the Humanitarian superpowers love them so much, why not send medicine instead of weapons?

Comment: Leaving aside the mistaken belief that vaccines are the only response against infectious disease, this is more a sign of how Ukraine is rotting from the inside. Maybe if Western countries really cared about the people of Ukraine, they'd be sending medicines and money for infrastructure instead of weapons.

Russkaya Vesna (Russian Spring) reported that on January 15, 2018, the citizens of Karfa in the South Darea province of Syria received a most welcomed visit from the Russian military forces who liberated them from the oppression of ISIS.

Syrian children

Comment: This is what global superpowers should be doing around the world: lending a helping hand to those in need - not plotting for 'regime change' to steal their resources. Compare and contrast what Russia and the US are doing in Syria:

Obnoxious, Arrogant, Imperial America in Syria

A loud explosion has been heard at the police station in the Swedish city of Malmo. The explosion was caused by a hand grenade, according to news reports.

"The place is locked off and the bomb group is on its way," police spokeswoman Anna Goransson was quoted as saying by Aftonbladet.

The alleged attack happened shortly after 9pm local time in the courtyard of the police station. "Fortunately, no people have been injured, but cars, I cannot say how many, have been damaged," Goransson told reporters.

Comment: Swedish PM Stefan Lofven of the Social Democrats suggested that deploying the military is a potential solution, while speaking to news outlet TT Nyhetsbyran.
"It's not my first-hand action. But we need to see additional authorities in collaboration to crack the gang crime," Lofven said, reported Aftonbladet.

The most important thing for me is the message to these seriously organized criminals, that you have no place in our society. That is why we have added so much resources, tighten the penalties and commit to economic crime."

Shocking bodycam footage shows the moment a police officer came face-to-face with a gun-brandishing robber. The teen - armed with a fake gun - was jailed for more than two years.

West Midlands police officer PC Jemma Follows can be heard saying "what are you doing?" as Reece Lones, 19, pops out of a room and into the hallway of a Stourbridge home with what appeared to be a gun. The imitation weapon was later discovered to be a BB gun designed to look like a 9mm semi-automatic pistol.

In the high-octane footage, Follows can be seen withdrawing from the house before chasing the suspects in a taxi. The chase ended dramatically about two hours later when Lones was arrested after being spotted by firearms officers on Stourbridge High Street.

Comment: Had this happened in the US, chances are he wouldn't be around to give an interview.

Victims of convicted pedophile and former US Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar have faced their abuser in court to provide moving and damning victim impact statements of their ordeals.

Kyle Stephens, who was abused by Nassar from the ages of 6 to 12, was one of the former gymnasts to read out her statement in a Michigan court, in which she detailed Nassar's crimes.

They included exposing himself to her, pleasuring himself in front of her, rubbing his penis on her bare feet and putting his finger in her vagina. Stephens told how most of the abuse came under the guise of treatment for serious gymnastics injuries. She said the abuse led to her father's suicide in 2016.

Jewish identity politics: Why are liberal Jews like Jerry Seinfeld progressive until it comes to the IDF?

Jerry Seinfeld, the Jewish American comedian, who was performing in Tel Aviv Israel at the Menora Mavtichim Arena at the end of December, recently made the news over his real live adventure at an anti-terrorism tourism camp. The so-called Counter Terror and Security Academy named Caliber 3 is a tourist training camp near the Efrat settlement south of Bethlehem, which means it is, appropriately enough, actually built on land stolen from the Palestinians. The camp's website commemorated the Seinfeld visit by posting notice of the participation of "the legendary Jerry Seinfeld and his family," plus photos, in a vignette that has since been removed.

The Caliber 3 website describes itself as "the leading counter terror and security training academy, run by active members of the IDF." The day visit includes a "shooting adventure" involving a simulated suicide bombing in a Jerusalem marketplace as well as a terrorist knife attack. The package, which costs $115 per adult and $85 for children, includes sniper training and a demonstration of the use of attack dogs against a terrorist suspect.

A suspect in the killing of two North California sheriff's deputies told a court that he wished he had killed more police officers. Facing the death penalty, it's not the first time the illegal immigrant has acted out.

In his opening statement in Sacramento Superior Court Tuesday, prosecutor Rod Norgaard described how Deputy Scott Brown retreated under heavy fire that killed Deputy Danny Oliver, according to the Sacramento Bee.

The suspect, Luis Enrique Monroy Bracamontes, who immigrated to the US illegally, appeared in court heavily shackled. He grinned and called Brown a "coward" before he was admonished by Superior Court Judge Steve White.

"I wish I had killed more of the mother-------," Bracamontes later told jurors, adding that "I will break out soon and I will kill more, kill whoever gets in front of me... There's no need for a f------ trial."

State-backed Keppel Corp. corruption scandal shows Singapore's clean image is a mirage

One of the largest corruption scandals in the history of Singapore's corporate sector has come to glaring light, tarnishing the image and credentials of prominent state-backed conglomerate Keppel Corp and raising questions about the city-state's supposed incorruptibility.

Its subsidiary, Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd (KOM), the world's largest builder of oil rigs, has been implicated in a 13-year-long US$55 million bribery scheme involving Brazilian executives and politicians to win business deals.

KOM's US subsidiary last month pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate anti-bribery laws and agreed to pay US$422 million in criminal fines as part of a deferred prosecution agreement with the US Department of Justice (DoJ), as well as authorities in Brazil and Singapore.

KOM made the bribe payments between 2001 and 2014 through a chain of shell companies that used the US banking system to conceal and disperse kickbacks, according to court documents released by the DoJ. The documents claimed the company "knowingly and willfully conspired" to win business through bribery.
