Police in Italy have raided what they called a "very powerful" sect, said to be entrenched in several cities across the country, which preyed on young women - many of whom were minors - subjecting them to sex abuse and torture.

The alleged sect was busted after a lengthy two-year probe into the cult's activities, dubbed 'Operation Dionysus', Novara police said Monday. Law enforcement carried out dozens of searches across the country over the weekend, mainly in the cities of Italy's north, including Novara, Milan, Genoa and Pavia.

The sect was led by a 77-year-old man from Novara, one of the cult's victims told the police. While the identity of the sect leader has not been disclosed, police said that his followers were allowed to call him only "the Doctor" or plainly "Him," and revered the man as a god of sorts. The cult's top members referred to themselves as "beasts," while potential recruits were seen as their "prey."

A Hardin County couple is now on house arrest after one of them tested positive for COVID-19 and decided not to sign documents agreeing to self-quarantine.

Last week, Elizabeth Linscott got tested for the COVID-19 because she was planning to visit her parents in Michigan.

"My grandparents wanted to see me, too," Linscott said. "So just to make sure if they tested negative, that they would be OK, everything would be fine."

After testing positive but without showing any symptoms, Linscott said the health department contacted her and requested she sign documents that will limit her traveling anywhere unless she calls the health department first. She said she chose to not sign the documents.

"My part was if I have to go to the ER, if I have to go to the hospital, I'm not going to wait to get the approval to go," she said.

Uproar in Ireland as incoming Minister for Children & Families linked with pedophilia - Antifa attempt to interrupt protest in Dublin backfires

protest dublin pedophilia
Gardai [Irish police] broke up a scuffle outside Leinster House as campaigners protested for the resignation of Minister for Children Roderic O'Gorman.

The right-wing campaigners protested on Saturday after a picture of Minister O'Gorman with LGBT rights campaigner Peter Tatchell began circulating online.

Tatchell is known for presenting controversial views regarding the age of consent and paedophilia.

Garda officers broke up a confrontation with counter-protesters.



Comment: That's the same police Antifa in Ireland also wants to abolish, by the way...


Comment: With no exceptions, every Irish media outlet is defending the new 'green' govt minister (for CHILDREN!) against 'the abuse' he is 'suffering' from 'a few far-right thugs'.

After 5 months of rule-by-emergency - during which time the permanent bureaucracy of course placed the country under the fullest expression of the severe Western 'Covid-19 lockdown' - a new govt finally came into office last month.

The 'kingmaker' element in the new govt is Ireland's Green party, from which this new 'Minister for Children' was selected. O'Gorman has certain views on how to raise children that are never, ever going to go over well with ordinary people - namely the same destructive policies implemented elsewhere across the West in the last decade; lowering the age of consent, amplifying the promotion of LGBT propaganda and so-called 'gender theory', and encouraging/facilitating children to undergo sex change procedures.

O'Gorman's first act as 'Minister for Children & Families' was to push for teenagers to undergo 'sex changes'...

This is the what the speaker - Justin Barrett of the National Party - was saying just prior to being interrupted by Antifa:

A group of mothers stand arm-in-arm outside the federal building and Justice Center in downtown Portland, Oregon.
Hey, feds: Leave our kids alone!

Dozens of moms formed a human shield between anti-racism protesters and law enforcement officials outside a federal courthouse in downtown Portland on Sunday.

"Moms are here, feds stay clear," chanted the group of about 100 women, according to footage posted on social media.

Many of the women wore yellow and donned bike helmets as they linked arms. They carried signs that read "Angry mama bear BLM" and "Moms are pissed."

It was at least the second night in a row that the group showed up to the ongoing demonstrations against police brutality and racism.

Comment: Peaceful citizens? These moms don't seem to know what their kids have been up to.

Conservatism may have found an unlikely savior in Kanye West, even if he doesn't take the White House this fall

Rapper Kanye West holds his first rally in support of his presidential bid in North Charleston, South Carolina, U.S. July 19, 2020.
Rap superstar Kanye West seems determined to run for president. Whether he succeeds or fails, his bravery and outspokenness may turn a new generation to conservative thought.

To say that Kanye West is a polarizing figure is an understatement. Even among conservatives such as myself, it's hard to really get a read on him. Some people seem to think that there shouldn't be any worship of a celebrity, whereas others see him as a blessing in disguise. I think the latter.

I believe conservatism as a political philosophy is in trouble because conservatives are losing the culture war. Generally speaking, conservatives do not do very well when it comes to culture, because many don't have the mindset to have an effect. A lot of artists get immersed in a "screw you, got mine" school of thought when it comes to their art and its success, complete political pandering or self-absorbed nonsense.

Kanye seems to understand something. Aside from a self-awareness that he is one of the greatest rappers to walk the planet, he understands the importance of community. He's also honest about the things that harm the black community and the family structure. Take his recent speech on abortion for example. Was it a nuanced observation, taking the science into account and made with spellbinding reason? No, it was an emotional tale of how life is a precious thing, which is more impactful.

A woman pushes a baby in a cart past the entrance to Public School 133 in the Harlem neighborhood of the Manhattan borough of New York City.
New York Times columnist Wajahat Ali has faced backlash after he said that, if given a choice between having a non-white tenant or burning their house down, GOP voters would rather set fire to the whole area.

Ali, who is the Times' contributing op-ed writer and was formerly a CNN commentator, raised quite a few eyebrows when he tweeted the claim on Sunday.

"I hope people realize that there are many white Republican voters in this country if they're given a choice between renting a room in their house to a person of color or burning down the house, they will elect to burn down the entire neighborhood," he tweeted.

The journalist argued that such sentiment is quite common among caucasian Republicans, adding: "It's not just a small fringe."

Gearing up for imminent ICC probe: 'Israel' drafts list of hundreds of Israeli war criminals

The occupation state is drawing up a secret list of military and intelligence officials who may be subject to arrest abroad over war crimes they committed against Palestinians if the International Criminal Court in the Hague opens an investigation [of] their crimes, according to Israeli media.

The list includes between 200 and 300 Israeli officials, some of whom have not been informed, reported Haaretz. The mere disclosure of the list's existence could be considered a recognition of committing the crimes and consequently would endanger the suspects on it, according to the Israeli newspaper.

However, it likely includes some of the Israeli top leaders, especially those involved in the 2014 aggression on Gaza, resulting in the murder of 2,147 civilian Palestinians, among them would be PM Benjamin Netanyahu; War Minister Benny Gantz, who was then at the helm of the Israeli occupation forces; then-war minister and current opposition MK Moshe Ya'alon, and current IOF chief Aviv Kohavi, who was then head of Military Intelligence.

Former defense ministers Avigdor Liberman and Naftali Bennett, heads of the opposition Yisrael Beytenu and Yamina parties, respectively, may also be on the list, along with former and current heads of the Shin Bet security service and other, lower ranking officers.

Comment: Israeli transparency seems to be wearing 'thinner' these days!

Iran executes man convicted of giving US information on Soleimani

Iran's judiciary says the country has executed a man convicted of providing information to the United States and Israel about a top Iranian commander later killed by a U.S. drone strike in Iraq.

"Mahmud Musavi-Majd's sentence was carried out on Monday morning over the charge of espionage so that the case of his betrayal to his country will be closed forever," the judiciary's Mizan Online website reported on July 20.

Iranian authorities in June said Musavi-Majd passed on information about the whereabouts of Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' (IRGC) elite Quds Force, who was killed in a U.S. air strike near Baghdad in January.

The judiciary said last month that Musavi-Majd's death sentence had been upheld by the Supreme Court and would be carried out "soon."

The execution came a day after three men linked to anti-government protests last November received stays from the death penalty amid a massive social-media campaign calling for Iran to halt state executions.

With shots in the air, shouts for “El Mencho” and a narco-corrido at the end, hitmen from the New Generation Jalisco Cartel (CJNG) in military camouflage boasted a powerful arsenal.
With shots in the air, shouts for "El Mencho" and a narco-corrido at the end, hitmen from the New Generation Jalisco Cartel (CJNG) in military camouflage, boasted an arsenal of dozens of long weapons and armored vehicles.

In a video that began to circulate on social networks, at least 20 vehicles appear, including all-terrain vans, Suburbans, Jeeps, and others that simulate those of stock transport companies, all of them armored.


Comment: Whether AMLO has dealt with the cartel presence or not, these criminal organizations did not sprout overnight. They are insulated and formidable with a long history and record to prove it.

The umbrella group for bodega owners has flatly rejected calls for a boycott of Goya products. Members of The United Bodegas of America gathered to say member stores will keep stocking the food maker's products, stating, "You do not boycott family."

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda are among many prominent Latinos who immediately called for a boycott after Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue said the country is blessed to have a leader like President Trump.
