FILE - In this June 28, 2012 file photo, Luis Cardenas Palomino, chief of the regional security division of Mexico's federal police, points to surveillance camera footage at the international airport related to a shooting, during a press conference in Mexico City. Mexico said Monday, July 5, 2021, that it has arrested the former leading police officers on charges of torture from nearly a decade ago.
Mexico said Monday it has arrested a former leading police official on charges of torture from nearly a decade ago.

Former Federal Police commander Luis Cardenas Palomino was considered the right-hand man of former security secretary Genaro García Luna. García Luna is now being held on drug trafficking charges in the United States.

U.S. prosecutors have also accused Cardenas Palomino of accepting millions in bribes from the Sinaloa cartel, once run by imprisoned drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. It was not clear if Mexico would consider extraditing Cardenas Palomino.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador hailed the arrest as a sign Mexico would no longer tolerate corruption and abuse, but said he did not know if Mexico would extradite Cardenas Palomino.

Woman who complained to police about man exposing his genitalia to her 6-year-old daughter says they blamed her

wi spa protest
A woman who complained to cops about a man exposing his genitalia to her 6-year-old daughter says she was told by a police officer that it was her fault.

Yes, really.

The incident occurred at the now notorious Wi Spa in Los Angeles, site of a protest and counter-protest on Saturday over another similar incident during which a biological male exposed his genitals to women and little girls in the female area of the spa.

According to the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, the incident happened in January 2020.

"It all happened to me, so I had a relapse of these feelings after having forgotten them," she told The Post Millennial. "I knew it was a family spa, and I'd decided to take my daughter. It's kind of trendy, it's a 24-hour spa, 90 plus percent Korean, and then a small percentage of people who aren't Korean. It's kind of cool to participate in other cultural experiences."

Disgusting perverts or just misunderstood? Meet the zoophiles who have sex with animals and want to be embraced by Pride

Zoophiles believe it's acceptable to be intimate with an animal, and want the LGTBQ+ movement to add a Z to its name. RT spoke to one about their secret world, and with members of the 'furry' and 'therian' communities.

Pride Month has just come to an end, following four weeks of global parades and celebrations featuring gay, bisexual, queer, trans, de-trans, asexual and other marginalised communities.

But one group not welcome, for the most part, is the zoophile community. In a nutshell, this comprises people who have a sexual attraction to animals, although this may not always necessarily be acted upon.

Comment: What we're witnessing is mentally deranged and fragile people finding warped outlets for their problems and encouraging each other in the process. With the support of the soldout media companies and lobby groups, these disorders are being foisted onto the general public who are being slowly acclimatized and shamed into accepting them because to do otherwise would be 'intolerant'. It's only a matter of time before these same insidious forces that are using these disordered individuals to their advantage then launch their real focus of attack which will be against children: Also check out SOTT radio's:

FILE PHOTO: Protesters do a sit down in front of the Spanish Parliament during a demonstration against the release on bail of five men known as the "Wolf Pack" cleared of a gang rape of a teenager and convicted of a lesser crime of sexual abuse in Madrid, Spain, June 22, 2018.
The Spanish government approved a law on Tuesday to define all non-consensual sex as rape, part of a legislative overhaul that toughens penalties for sexual harassment and mandates more support systems for victims.

It approved the bill five years after what became known as the 'wolf-pack' case, in which five men gang-raped an 18-year old woman at Pamplona's bull-running festival, causing public outrage and prompting calls to reform laws on sexual violence.

The draft still requires parliamentary approval, which is expected by the end of the year.

Plane crashes in Russia's far east, all 28 people on board including local government officials dead

None of the 28 people on board a Russian An-26 plane have survived its crash on Tuesday in the country's far east, Interfax and RIA news agencies quoted sources in the rescue service as saying

The plane, en route from regional capital Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to the village of Palana, lost contact with air traffic control during the flight, according to Russia's emergencies ministry.

There were 22 passengers and six crew on board, the ministry said. Village mayor Olga Mokhireva was among the passengers along with four local government officials, local authorities said.

Comment: RT provides a few more details:
He added that he was unable to "say where and under what circumstances. Only tomorrow will there be more information." He added that rescuers were planning to use a helicopter to access the site where the plane had crashed.

The Soviet-era twin-engine turboprop plane had taken off from the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the regional capital of the Kamchatka Peninsula, over 6,700km (4,163 miles) east of Moscow. It had been due to land at a runway in the town of Palana, but, according to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, it crashed several kilometers from the airport.

A source in the emergency services shed light on the circumstances after the discovery of the crash site. "The wreckage of the plane was found near the village of Palana. Before the crash, it collided with a hill, which led to the destruction of the plane," the source told TASS.

According to Khrabrov, the plane was flown by "a good young crew with experience." In the cockpit, he said, was "a fairly experienced commander - 35 years old." In 2012, an Antonov-28 similar to the one rescuers were searching for on Tuesday, and flying the same route, crashed into a forest in Kamchatka. Investigators said both pilots were intoxicated when the accident happened.

The Kamchatka Region is vast, larger in size than Ukraine or France, and is home to just 300,000 people. With a rocky landscape marked by no fewer than 16 active volcanoes, it splits the Pacific Ocean on one side from the Sea of Okhotsk on the other.

Around 150 schoolchildren are missing after armed bandits stormed a boarding school in northwest Nigeria's Kaduna state where students were sleeping.

Police said the gunmen raided the Bethel Baptist High School in southern Kaduna overnight between 11 pm on Sunday and 4 am on Monday.

The group overpowered the school's security guards before making their way into the student's hostels, where the men are thought to have abducted the kids.

Later, the children were believed to be taken to a forest by the kidnappers.

An SPD officer told The Post Millennial, "If I die in the line-of-duty, I have directed my friends to make sure they [city councilmembers] do not attend my service."

Anti-police Washington state and local elected officials politicized the memorial service for fallen Seattle Police Department officer Lexi Harris on Thursday. More than one thousand people attended the memorial service for officer Lexi Harris at T-Mobile Park, honoring the life of the five-year veteran with the Seattle Police Department who was highly respected amongst her peers and members within the community.

declaration of independence
The editor's note itself says simply: "Contains a racist slur against Indigenous people."

National Public Radio (NPR) continued its yearly July 4 tradition of posting the Declaration of Independence to social media.

This year, however, there were a few twists and caveats.

"245 years ago today, leaders representing 13 British colonies signed a document to declare independence," NPR tweeted, linking to an article about its annual reading of the founding document.

Comment: At least they didn't censor it outright.

Vaccination nurse Lorraine Mooney gives a vaccination to a member of the public outside a bus in the car park of Crieff Community Hospital.
Britain's daily Covid cases surged 36 per cent in one week - but the country's death toll has plummeted by a fifth as vaccinations keep hospitalisations low.

A further 24,885 people tested positive for coronavirus today, up from 18,270 last Saturday and the sixth day in a row the daily figure has surged above 20,000.

But the 18 deaths recorded in the last 24 hours marks a drop of 21.7 per cent on the 23 recorded on this day last week.
