Charges against five men accused of being in a pedophile ring have been dropped two weeks before trial and their accuser labelled "serial fantasist" after it was revealed the woman had made false allegations on multiple occasions.

A medical expert also said that the woman's account of her backyard abortion - allegedly performed on her by one of the accused - had been lifted from TV show portrayals of abortions on programs like 'Call the Midwife' and the film 'Vera Drake'.

In 2016 the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, made accusations against the men, saying that she had been abused at parties between 3 and 15 years of age. She said she was forced to have an abortion and help the men torture other kids.

The allegations saw retired GP Stephen Glascoe, 67, retired social worker Patrick Graham, 61, and three other men due to stand trial on January 29 for their alleged involvement in a Cardiff pedophile ring in the 1990s.

During her most recent rape accusations, the woman told police that one of the men had sent her a package from Amazon that included wires twisted in the very same way that her hands had been allegedly tied while they abused her. She later conceded that she had actually ordered the parcel herself.

Sweden will do whatever it takes" to end a wave of gang violence that has swept throughout the country, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said on Wednesday, according to Reuters.

The idea of getting the military involved in resolving the issue of 'no-go' zones within Sweden's cities, where a large majority of migrants reside, was floated when Sweden's political leaders debated how to combat problems with gang crime in the country.

With the country's center-right and right-wing media referring to the crisis as the 'Sweden civil war,' the police department's inability to cope with more than 300 reported shootings last year seems to be going in their favor.

The first Riksdag debate of 2018 between Sweden's party leaders follows a string of deadly shootings in Malmo and Stockholm that had happened in recent weeks, as well as the death of a man from a hand grenade.

During his opening statement at the debate, the Prime Minister spoke about shootings and gangs and identified them as one of the biggest problems Sweden is currently facing. He also added that more needs to be done to combat them including attacking their economic resources and a tightening of rules.

Thousands of Hawaiians eased their anxieties by watching porn just moments after a ballistic missile alert last Saturday turned out to be a false alarm, Pornhub traffic data has revealed.

Most Hawaiians predictably abandoned their porn to save their lives from an imminent ballistic threat, Pornhub, the largest pornographic video sharing website, revealed Wednesday. Within fifteen minutes after the Islanders received the emergency alert reading: "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL," traffic to Pornhub dropped dramatically.

Comment: It's a pretty sad reflection of a society that a significant number of people, perhaps being reminded of their own mortality, turn to porn rather than their friends and family for more meaningful comfort and connection: Also check out SOTT radio's: The Health & Wellness Show: The Death of Intimacy: Porn and the Ponerization of Sex

Palestinian-American businessman Amer Otham arrested by ICE after getting deportation reprieve

When Amer Othman Al Adi arrived at Cleveland's federal immigration offices on Tuesday morning for what he thought to be a routine check-in, agents with the Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agency immediately detained him, wrenching him from the arms of Fidaa, his wife of 29 years.

Today, the 57-year-old Palestinian-American business owner sits in the Geauga County jail awaiting deportation - the first time Adi has seen the inside of a jail cell in his three decades living in the United States.

"[ICE] arrested him like he was a criminal. Usually criminals have to do something wrong," Lina Adi, the second oldest of the family's four children told me.

No charges have been filed to warrant his arrest and Khaalid H. Walls, ICE spokesperson for the Northeastern region, which includes Ohio, would not say on what grounds he was detained nor the anticipated length of Adi's incarceration.

Less than two weeks ago, Amer and Fidaa had been preparing to voluntarily leave the country for Jordan, cooperating with a January 7 deadline issued by immigration authorities in September. As we reported, Adi received a last minute stay of deportation much to the relief of his family and community.

It was a breaking news story - but not exactly the type Newsweek was aching to report.

About two dozen investigators from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office converged on the downtown newsroom of Newsweek on Thursday - taking photos of computers and servers, sources said.

In addition to the newsroom, the fifth floor of 7 Hanover Square also houses Newsweek Media Group, the publication's parent company - formerly known as IBT Media.

The investigators, who arrived shortly before 8 a.m., focused on the computers' serial numbers - and walked out six hours later carrying several of the servers, sources said.

While Trump is giving out fake news awards, WikiLeaks reminds us BOTH parties are liars

While the same media outlets that have been openly critical of President Trump became the topics of his "Fake News Awards," the entire event was filled with hypocrisy, and served as a depiction of the pot calling the kettle black-both entities have spent a significant amount of time lying to and misleading the public.

WikiLeaks, an organization that the mainstream media have attempted to claim is a pro-Trump, pro-Russia propaganda firm, took to Twitter to point out the hypocrisy surrounding the awards:

"While WikiLeaks, as a primary source organization with a perfect verification record welcomes debate over 'fake news' it should be noted that along with the U.S. establishment press, the Trump administration is a frequent source of false information," the organization claimed.


The statement is notable because it serves as a reminder of the relationship between WikiLeaks and the Trump administration. When Trump was running for office, and WikiLeaks was releasing emails from members of the Democratic National Committee, Trump was more than happy to credit the organization when citing the damning information that it released about his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Comment: While Trump may have honestly thought he could have done the things he thought he could do, once he became President the Deep State quickly put an end to that. See also: President Trump announces the 2017 Fake News Awards!

President Trump announces the 2017 Fake News Awards!

It was the moment we have all been waiting for...

President Trump announced his first Fake News Awards on Wednesday night with a tweet on the 2017 award winners.


Comment: See also: RT also reported on the event:
[...]

Trump also tweeted that there are "great reporters" whom he respects. He did not name any of those journalists, though, unlike the treatment dished out to the "Fake News" awardees.


[...]

The New York Times was quick to point out their inclusion on Trump's award list while tweeting out a link to one of their articles recapping the president's online event.


New York Times reporter Dan Barry jokingly tweeted, after Trump named the winners, that a party would follow the president's announcements.


The Washington Post, which took fifth place in Trump's awards for reporter Dave Weigel tweeting false information about the size of Trump's crowd at a rally last month, ran an article that posed the question: "Does it really count if the news organization admits error?"

Multiple mainstream outlets preemptively blasted Trump's plan for the fake news awards. A headline from Politico on Wednesday said Trump had "little to gain" from them. Meanwhile, the Washington Post predicted the awards would be "a huge flop."ABC News stated that under Trump, "fake news" has gone from an easy applause line to a license to create entirely new realities.
