4 freed American hostages' plane "not allowed to leave" until Obama's $400M cash payment plane landed in Iran - or so the story goes

Timing is everything, and the timing of events in the Iran $400 million payment do not add up. The most troubling aspect of the $400 million cash payment to Iran, is not the fact that the payment was made in cash. This can surely be explained by the US's lack of a banking relationship with the heavily sanctioned Iran.

Nor was it the fact that the payment was not reported to the US public. The White House can say it had no reason to report, what it claims was a small part of a larger (Iran-Nuclear weapons) settlement deal...that had already been made public months ago. What snags Obama, in what the president himself claims is "spy novel" stuff, comes down to simple timing and sequence of events.

Comment: Someone is off the runway with this story that made headlines in whacko news. Wait for the plane to land? Big deal. Paid in cash? So what. The money was the first installment of a $1.7B settlement from the Hague Court regarding an abandoned arms deal from 1970s, announced in January. It was not payment for four whimpy, whiney hostages. The agreement stipulated that the U.S. would pay back the principal $400 million plus $1.3 billion in interest. It had nothing to do with hostages. They were released. Not grateful?

More than 100 migrants clash with police, storm Italy-France border

A crowd of migrants took Italian and French police "by surprise" after rushing to cross the border near Ventimiglia. Some 100 people managed to make their way across the rocky shore, according to authorities, who used pepper spray to contain the breach.

On Friday a group of some 150 migrants on the Italian side launched a protest against the closure of the border, as others desperately tried to make it across into France. On the other side, in the French town of Menton, gendarmerie tried to chase back or block those who made it across. Police confronted the crowd using pepper-spray.

Migrants, mostly Sudanese, Eritreans and Ethiopians, arrived from Sicily to Ventimiglia with the hope of continuing their journey to France and northern Europe. However, they were blocked at the border between Italy and France, in Ventimiglia, the last train station before the Italian-French border.

Stuck in limbo, with no access to any type of services or any proper reception centers, the families, including pregnant women and children, were forced to sleep outside at a 'No Border' makeshift camp on the rocks near Ventimiglia.

Comment: Break it; own it; fix it. Migrants and refugees without housing and some semblance of stability will gravitate to whatever, whomever, wherever can provide this.

Cover up: Ex-LA County sheriff indicted for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, lying to FBI

A federal grand jury has indicted former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca for conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI, in order to cover up civil rights abuses inside his jails. Lee Baca is now officially facing a three-count indictment related to an FBI investigation into Los Angeles County jails.

Although Baca tried to plead guilty in exchange for a sentence that carried a maximum of six months, a judge rejected it for being "too lenient." If Baca is found guilty of his current charges, he will face 20 years in federal prison. For the 74-year-old in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, that would most certainly amount to a life sentence.

Nathan Hochman, Baca's attorney, said in a statement to KABC, "These new charges represent punishment by this United States Attorney's office for our client's decision to seek a trial. The United States Attorney's Office has already admitted in court the weakness of its obstruction case against Lee Baca. This trial will be vastly different than the others. We look forward to this process and believe that Mr. Baca will be vindicated after all of the evidence is finally presented."

Baca will be arraigned at a later date. He is not the only one being punished for corruption in LA County jails. At least 20 other current or former sheriff's department employees are facing charges or have been convicted for their involvement in attempts to cover up corruption.

Comment: Since the FBI investigation began in 2010, 21 members of the sheriff's department have been convicted of federal crimes, including abuse of inmates, obstructing justice, bribery, and conspiracy.

Comment: There is no doubt this kind of abuse of privilege occurs in US jails and that those in charge assume they are exempt. Within law enforcement facilities, corruption takes place on both sides of the fence. For equable consequences of action, justice needs to remain blind.

Popular North Jersey trail booby-trapped with nail boards and barbed wire

Someone has been placing booby traps on a popular North Jersey mountain trail, Wayne police said Thursday. A frequent visitor to High Mountain Park told police he's found hidden wooden boards with screws or nails sticking out, broken bottles and barbed wire strung across paths over the past several weeks, Capt. Laurence Martin said.

"This is the first report of this type of incident that has been brought to our attention," Martin said. "The Wayne Police Detective Bureau is actively investigating this and is currently focusing on the area that the resident has encountered problems." The park is shared among Wayne, North Haledon and Franklin Lakes. William Paterson University police have parking lots in their jurisdiction, as well.

"These events pose a serious risk to hikers and mountain bikers who use the High Mountain Park for recreation. We are asking the public's assistance to be mindful of these style of booby-trap hazards...some placed just under the road surface, to injure persons on foot or disable bicycle tires," the captain said.

"The barbed wire and rope that was strung across the path ways raises the threat to serious injury or death," he added. Martin asked that anyone with who sees something suspicious at the park or has information that could help the investigation to call local police.

Comment: Prank? Sadistic or deranged personality? Societal disintegration? Who does this and what is the reward or benefit derived from this unthinkable action?

Terrorists capture and execute three civilians attempting to leave Allepo via humanitarian corridor

Three civilians who tried to flee a rebel-controlled area of Aleppo via a humanitarian corridor were captured and executed, the Russian Ministry of Defense said, adding that Al-Nusra and Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorists in the area are trying to break free of the army's siege.

Moscow and Damascus launched a large-scale humanitarian operation in Aleppo last week, opening three escape routes for civilians and one for militants wishing to lay down arms. On Friday, the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria reported that militants captured at least three civilians as they tried entering the government-controlled territory from the rebel-held area.

Police have rescued two people from a hostage situation in New Jersey, at a warehouse near the Newark International Airport.

SWAT teams surrounded the building at 451 Frelinghuysen Avenue on Friday afternoon. It is listed as an address of several manufacturing and shipping companies, and is about a block away from the Newark-Liberty International Airport transit station.

Police was called in around 1 pm local time, after reports of a "person with a gun" inside the building.

Two people were evacuated from the roof by police, WABC reported, noting that they were the new owners of the building who were apparently confronted by a squatter armed with a shotgun.

Afghani man sells daughter to Imam for a goat

A father from Afghanistan, barely making ends meet, sold his own daughter to a 55-year-old cleric for a goat and some food. Footage doing the rounds on the Internet shows the moment local women gave him a beating.

The father agreed to sell his six-year-old daughter Gharibgol to the 55-year-old imam, Seyed Abdolkarim, which runs counter the law in Afghanistan, which allows girls to marry from the age of 16 and boys from 18, according to France 24.

Abdolkarim was arrested when it had came to police knowledge that he had wed a girl who was sold to him for a goat, a bag of rice, tea, sugar, and cooking oil. The officers were pursuing the father after local women discovered what had happened and snapped at him.

The footage was taken by local journalist Fawad Ahmady for France 24.

Comment: Hopefully, the medical tests were correct and this little girl can recover from her ordeal.

Louisiana sheriff raids home of whistle-blower cop who exposed corrupt politicians

In Terrebonne Parish, if you want to expose corruption of local politicians, don't be surprised when cops invade your home and seize your property.

The owner of a Facebook page called "ExposeDat" (similar to the New Orleans Saints' motto WhoDat) was apparently getting too close to the truth, so Sheriff Jerry Larpenter - one of the targets of the anti-corruption blog - executed search warrants to try and stop the exposure.

Local news channel 4WWL reports that the subject of the raid was Houma Police Officer Wayne Anderson, a veteran who previously served as a Terrebonne Parish deputy and a New Orleans Police officer. Anderson denies being involved in ExposeDat.

Deputies seized two laptops from Anderson's home, one belonging to his children, and five cell phones. A warrant was also issued for Facebook account information, showing it to be operated under the pseudonym, John Turner.

ExposeDat has detailed several disturbing events and questionable connections among Larpenter, Parish President Gordon Dove, District Attorney Joseph Waltz, Jr., parish insurance agent Tony Alford and others.

Selecting the President: Election irregularities linked to E-voting machine companies who are large Clinton Foundation donors

From the same people who released the study showing the extraordinarily high probability that Hillary Clinton exceeded exit polling results in states that had no paper trail to use to audit the vote, we now get some even more "interesting" developments.

It seems that Hillary did especially well in which states where the owners of two of the three companies that make and support e-voting machines, donated to the Clinton Fund.

Interestingly, much information has recently come to light about the Clinton candidacy. Notably, the hacker Guccifer 2.0 released documents which he took from the computer network of the Democratic National Committee. Among these files, one tabulated a list of big-money donors to the Clinton Foundation. One fact has gone unreported in the media: Two of the three companies that control the electronic voting market, namely Dominion Voting and H.I.G. Capital (i.e. Hart Intercivic), are in this list of big-money donors.

To examine the possibility that the products linked to these companies had been used to commit electoral fraud, we borrowed the methodology of a paper by Francois Choquette and James Johnson (C&J). Their paper is based on one of the basic principles in the biological and social sciences: As the amount of data increases, the measurement of the average approaches the 'true' average. In other words, as more data is added, the average fluctuates less and less. [...]

You see, these same voting irregularities had been shown to occur in the 2008 and 2012 elections in favor of McCain and Romney, respectively, by the researchers, Choquette and Johnson. In 2008 and 2012, McCain and Romney" were "financially interconnected with two of the major electronic voting companies." Both the companies who donated to the Clinton Foundation share a history of past election controversies and conviction for white collar crimes.
