Britain's biggest police force has confirmed it has received information regarding historical sexual abuse at London football clubs.

The Metropolitan Police announcement came as the national inquiry into child sexual abuse opened the door to examining allegations within the sport. A spokesman said it "has received information relating to non-recent sexual abuse in football clubs in London".
The Met said it will "assess any information it receives and ensure that victims are given the advice and support they need".

Scotland Yard did not name any of the clubs involved. It means there are now four police forces which are known to be investigating the growing abuse scandal in the sport. Hampshire Police had earlier said its detectives are investigating non-recent child abuse "within the football community". Cheshire Police revealed that "a growing number of disclosures" had been made to the force and there have been "allegations made against more than one individual".


Comment: The crimes committed against these vulnerable children are repulsive and it's highly doubtful that abuse within the footballing network has been eradicated. To understand why and how these sick individuals commit their crimes Anna Salter's book 'Predators: Pedophiles, Rapists, and Other Sex Offenders' is a must read. You can also find the SOTT.net radio interview with Dr Salter here: Behind the Headlines: Predators Among Us - Interview With Dr. Anna Salter

Update (Nov. 27): The English Football Association has opened an investigation into the allegations:
The FA has instructed independent leading counsel Kate Gallafent QC to assist it with a review into the abuse cases which have recently come to light. The FA had already initiated an internal review which Ms Gallafent will now oversee, while it continues to also prioritise victim support and providing full assistance to on-going police inquiries.

Universities aren't a haven for free speech, but a breeding ground for indoctrination

In the usual modern discussion about universities and free speech, the common wisdom is that golly, they used to be the very places where freedom of expression really had its head and ran wild, but now, it's all changed.

And maybe that was their experience, or as they say on campuses now, their lived experience. It sure as hell wasn't mine.

I was a journalism student at Ryerson University (this was before it had aspirations and was just Ryerson Polytechnical Institute) in the early 1970s, when the Toronto Sun first rose from the ashes of the Toronto Telegram. It was only the first brand-new major newspaper in the country in decades, nothing to get excited about, and on the school's downtown campus, even in the journalism school, they surely didn't.

Comment: What appears to be unraveling, is that academia has been ponerized and we are seeing the implementation of thought-control through these kinds of "anti-bias/racist trainings" and "LGBT-inclusive initiatives." After all, just take a look at the history of some of the people who are either spearheading or advising these initiatives. See also:

Three mosques in California were sent anonymous hate-mail warning them that Donald Trump would "cleanse" Muslims from the US the same way "Hitler did to the Jews."

The abusive letters have sparked new fears among Muslims, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said.

The Muslim advocacy group called for "stepped-up" police protection of mosques after identical letters were sent to three mosques, calling for the genocide of Muslims earlier this week.

"This hate campaign targeting California houses of worship must be investigated as an act of religious intimidation, and our state's leaders should speak out against the growing anti-Muslim bigotry that leads to such incidents," CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush said.

California lawyers are split over state bar association plans to introduce an all-out ban on sex between attorneys and their clients.

Those supporting the blanket ban said that any sexual contact between an attorney and a client is potentially coercive due to the inherently unequal nature of relations between the two.

However, opponents of the initiative among the lawyers labeled it uncalled for and an unconstitutional invasion of their privacy.

It is proposed that those violating the sex ban face punishments ranging from private censure to the loss of their legal licence, AP reported.

The only exception to the rule would be when a sexual relationship between individuals preceded their contract as attorney and client.

Fire broke out at a night club in Ukraine after a fire-breathing performer set the venue's plastic ceiling on fire. The moment was filmed by partygoers. While most clubbers rushed out in panic, some used the occasion to take photos of themselves.

The blaze destroyed the Mi100 club in Lvov, Ukraine on Saturday night, reducing its decorations and equipment to ashes. Of the 250 people present in the building at the time, 22 required medical attention for smoke poisoning and burns, according to the local fire department. Fourteen of them were taken to the hospital, with two in critical condition.

The blaze started during a fire show, with footage of the performance posted online. The entertainer breathed fire high into the air and ignited the covering of the ceiling. The blaze quickly spread as burning fragments rained down onto the stage.

Serial killer Stephen Port has boasted of romping with MPs and a kids' TV presenter. Port, jailed for life for four murders, made the claims in letters to a pen pal.

Writing while on remand at Belmarsh Prison he said: "I have slept with one famous guy who I met when I was on holiday."

He said he "best not mention his name lol" but described him and the shows he was in.

The killer said they "dated for a few months" but the presenter was given a role elsewhere so they just "remained friends".

Chef Port, 41, added: "I did have a couple of famous clients when I was escorting but, of course, I can't mention names. But they where generally MPs."

Arrested members of an ISIS-linked cell in Indonesia were planning attacks on government buildings, TV stations, and the Myanmar Embassy in Jakarta, police said, adding that the scale of the attack might have been even bigger than 2002 Bali bombing.

"They were helping plan a bomb attack against parliament, the national police headquarters, the embassy of Myanmar and several television stations," national police spokesman Rikwanto said, as cited by AFP.

He added that the attack planned by Islamic State-linked (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants could have been even worse that the 2002 Bali bombings.

The attack on the Indonesian resort island of Bali killed 202 people and injured 200 more, mostly foreigners. Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian militant Islamist terrorist group, linked to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, was reportedly responsible for the attack. Several of the group's members were convicted on terrorism charges.

Earlier this week, police arrested Rio Priatna Wibawa, 23, at his home in Majalengka regency, West Java province. Officers discovered large amount of bomb-making material which he allegedly planned to use in the attacks. The bombings were reportedly planned to take place in December, though police failed to find out when exactly.

Army Corps issues eviction letter to Standing Rock protesters; tribal leader issues response

water protest
In response to the altogether shocking announcement the Army Corps of Engineers will be evicting water protectors from the Oceti Sakowin and any camps north of the Cannonball River, the Cheyenne River Tribe — co-litigants in a lawsuit seeking to halt the Dakota Access Pipeline — sharply condemned the plan as "a direct and irresponsible threat to the water protectors."

On Friday — unironically, the day after Thanksgiving — Army Corps District Commander Col. John W. Henderson sent a letter to Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman Dave Archambault II and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Chairman Harold Frazier announcing the closure of Corps-managed land to all "public use and access" on December 5.

Henderson's letter and the Army Corps' plan is an affront to dignity and logic in multiple ways — most notably, the reason cited for clearing the peaceful camps.

"This decision is necessary to protect the general public from the violent confrontations between protestors and law enforcement officials that have occurred in this area, and to prevent death, illness, or serious injury to inhabitants of encampments due to the harsh North Dakota winter conditions," he wrote.

All confrontations with officers thus far only occurred after police escalated the situation — deploying brute and wildly excessive force against unarmed water protectors — including an incident last Sunday in which a tribal elder nearly died after suffering cardiac arrest, twice, Vanessa Dundon's sight might be lost thanks to a tear gas canister police launched at her head, and Sophia Wilansky is having her entire arm reconstructed after a concussion grenade tore it apart.

An east London primary school has provoked a furious backlash from parents after it introduced same-sex toilets for pupils over the age of eight.

The controversy arose after a new £12m building at Leytonstone's Buxton School was equipped with the gender-neutral bathrooms.

Despite a petition protesting against the new toilets having nearly 700 signatures on Sunday, the school's headteacher Kath Wheeler welcomed the change.

She said the full-height unisex toilets created a safe space where pupils show respect towards each other and feel respected, according to the East London and West Essex Guardian.


Comment: The powers-that-be at the Buxton School in London apparently have decided to treat their children like precious snowflakes. Kids MUST be prevented from experiencing anything unpleasant about reality, including normal human interactions between kids. This strategy does NOT help children prepare for life in a world where they will undoubtedly be experiencing a great deal of unpleasantness.


She also noted the toilets meet Department of Education and Waltham Forest council regulations.

News reports say an Iranian helicopter based at a Caspian Sea oil platform crashed late on November 26, killing all five people onboard.

The helicopter belonged to the Oil Ministry and was carrying an engineer with heart trouble to the hospital when it crashed, the German news agency dpa reported, citing Iranian media.

The cause was not immediately clear.

Comment: More information:
A helicopter that crashed in the Caspian Sea early Sunday was a Mil Mi-17 chopper in possession of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, and four of the five victims were servicemen, IRGC spokesman announced.

According to Head of the IRGC Public Relations Department General Ramezan Sharif, the IRGC helicopter was at disposal of Khazar Exploration and Production Company (KEPCO), a subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC).

The aircraft was dispatched to Amir-Kabir semi-submersible drilling rig in the Caspian Sea, 20 kilometers off the port of Amirabad, at around 4:30 a.m. local time, to rescue an employee suffering a heart attack, Sharif explained.

After picking up the individual, the helicopter began to fly back to shore, but crashed shortly after take-off and descended into the sea, killing all five people on board, he said.

The oil company's worker and four IRGC servicemen, all colonels, lost their lives in the crash, he noted.

The general said the cause of the incident is under investigation.

Amir-Kabir is the first Iranian facility for the extraction of oil and gas from the Caspian Sea.
