TWO YOUNG WOMEN WHO LOST THEIR JOBS because of their association (and political beliefs) with Germany’s far-right scene have formed a group to help other persecuted women. It is part of a growing trend of women becoming more prominent on the extreme-right scene. Iris Niemeyer feels angry, betrayed and persecuted. In her mid-30s, educated and articulate, Niemeyer is furious about losing her job as a social worker because of her political beliefs. She is so appalled that she has set up a group to defend women in similar situations. Women like her — women from Germany’s far-right scene.

Through contacts at the RING NATIONALER FRAUEN, Niemeyer hooked up with Sigrid Schüssler, who also felt politically persecuted. The trained actress from Karlstein-am-main in Bavaria had been organizing children’s plays at daycare centers, schools and festivals — and at NPD events. A local left-wing group started to distribute flyers accusing her of having racist undertones in a show where she enacts the Brothers Grimm fairytale about a frog. Schuessler says that as soon as her booked appearances were publicized, they were cancelled within two days. She says her business is now effectively “dead.” “I am a complete victim,” she told SPIEGEL ONLINE, “I was accused of indoctrinating children, something that is totally out of keeping with the way I do things, with my convictions, with my beliefs.” SOURCE>>>>

Looks like the police state bullied the wrong people.

Berwyn Heights’ mayor is expected today to ask federal officials to investigate possible civil rights violations stemming from last week’s raid of his Prince George’s County home by police officers who shot and killed his two dogs, his attorney said.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A 24-year-old woman, missing since attending a Sunday night birthday celebration for rapper Lil’ Kim, was found beaten to death at the New York City club where the party was held, a police source said on Thursday.

Ingrid Rivera from the New York City borough of Queens, was last seen at the rap diva’s party at Manhattan’s Spotlight Live club where bouncers kicked her out because she was drunk.

Rivera never returned home, the source said. Her family filed a missing persons report, but after searching the Midtown karaoke club, police were unable to find the woman. Read more »

CHEGUTU, ZIMBABWE — The ancient chestnut horse, Ginger, stands on the veranda near the farmhouse door, waiting for a treat. But the old farmer and his wife do not come.

The farm dogs leap like dancers, extravagantly pleased to have visitors. The cats bask in the sun. Four red hens peck busily in the flower beds. The garden is alive with bird chatter. But the house stands silent and empty.

No one has lived here since late June, when Mike Campbell, 74, and his wife, Angela, were attacked by militants associated with Zimbabwe’s ruling party, which targeted white farmers as well as opposition supporters in the recent election violence.

The beating was so brutal that Campbell’s friends didn’t recognize photographs taken of him after the nine-hour ordeal. Angela, 67, says her faith sustained her when the men wanted to cut off her fingers because her rings had gotten stuck.

A Princeton teenager has been arrested on charges he assaulted a 13 year-old boy while shouting racial slurs at him. The incident happened last week on Rains Crossroads Road as the juvenile was allegedly walking near the suspect’s home. Nekko Andre Ewell, 16, was charged with assault and battery before being released on a written promise to appear in court. Authorities are still trying to identify a second suspect who also allegedly attacked the 13 year-old and shouted racial obscenities at the victim, who was white.

No hate crime charges have been filed. SOURCE>>>

PORTLAND, Ore. - A New York man who pleaded guilty to murder in Oregon in exchange for buckets of fried chicken will get calzones and pizza to go with his life sentence.

Tremayne Durham, 33, of New York City, admitted last month that he fatally shot Adam Calbreath, 39, of Gresham, in June 2006. Durham wanted to sell ice cream and ordered an $18,000 truck from an Oregon company. He later changed his mind, but the company wouldn’t provide a refund.

The would-be ice cream man came to Oregon and killed Calbreath, a former employee of the company, while looking for its owner, authorities said. Read more »

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - No one showed up Tuesday as a new federal program encouraging illegal immigrants to leave the country began a two-week trial, and several illegal immigrants said there’s no reason to expect anyone will.

“I know people who have been caught and deported. But most are never caught,” said Robert Hernandez, a 28-year-old construction worker from Honduras who has lived in the United States illegally for four years.

“To turn yourself in so you can go home and live in a village with no work? If I wanted to do that, I would have stayed in my village. I wouldn’t have risked my life to come here in the first place.”

JERUSALEM - Israel is building up its strike capabilities amid growing anxiety over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and appears confident that a military attack would cripple Tehran’s atomic program, even if it can’t destroy it.

Such talk could be more threat than reality. However, Iran’s refusal to accept Western conditions is worrying Israel as is the perception that Washington now prefers diplomacy over confrontation with Tehran. Read more »

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) — Fifty-six government employees — including a police officer, a felony court clerk, two corrections officers and 27 school bus drivers and attendants — were arrested in a scam that used health insurance information to fraudulently obtain prescriptions for the painkiller OxyContin, authorities said Wednesday.

Sixty-two people were arrested in total and all face charges including racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering and grand theft, according to the Miami-Dade state attorney’s office.

Authorities estimate 130 medically unnecessary prescriptions for OxyContin — more than 12,000 tablets — were presented to pharmacies. The drugs have an estimated street value of $400,000, prosecutors said. Read more »

Fresno, CA, USA (KFSN) — Local and federal law enforcement officials say they’ve taken more than $1.4 billion dollars worth of marijuana off the streets. This South Valley bust is so big, the White House Drug Czar came to Visalia to talk about it. The bust is part of Operation “L.O.C.C.U.S.T.”

Last year, the Tulare County Sheriff’s office had a record seizure of more than 330,000 illegal marijuana plants. Operation L.O.C.C.U.S.T. eradicated 10,000 more plants that that in the last week.

Aerial video taken early Tuesday morning shows the massive amounts of gardens and thousands of marijuana plants growing illegally in our local national parks. U.S. Drug Czar John Walters says, these operations are mostly the work of Mexican drug cartels who make money here and spread fear in their home country. Read more »

A U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when backup agents responded to assist.

Agents assigned to the Border Patrol station at Ajo, Ariz., said the Mexican soldiers crossed the international border in an isolated area about 100 miles southwest of Tucson and pointed rifles at the agent, who was not identified.

It was unclear what the soldiers were doing in the United States, but U.S. law enforcement authorities have long said that current and former Mexican military personnel have been hired to protect drug and migrant smugglers. Read more »

BERLIN (Reuters) - Two Berliners have caused a stir with a new “Stasi Bar” where guests can sip beer surrounded by listening devices and shredded documents, a stone’s throw from the former headquarters of East Germany’s dreaded secret police.

Owners Willi Gau, 60, and Wolfgang Schmelz, 53, say they want to provoke debate with their small bar.

But groups representing victims of the notorious Stasi have slammed the idea as tasteless.

“We mean it in a satirical but serious way,” said Gau, standing by the entrance of his bar “Die Firma” (The Firm), where guests are greeted by a large sign featuring the emblem of the Stasi. Read more »

JACKSONVILLE, FL — JSO released the three 911 calls Reginald Peterson made Thursday night when he had a “beef” about his sandwich.

For the first time, we’re hearing from the man behind the Subway showdown.

Immigration is portrayed as an act of kindness, as an act of love and decency. But, here is one result of all this love and kindness, a brutal beheading on a bus. Read more »

This news article is a few months old but shocking none the less…

A veteran NYPD detective and his girlfriend have been arrested on charges of pimping out teenage girls to perverts attending bachelor and strip parties, authorities said yesterday.

Detective Wayne Taylor was picked up Tuesday with his gal-pal madam in Jamaica, Queens, as they drove a 17-year-old girl to a hotel for a strip party and sex with several men, cops said.

The tip that led to their arrests came from a 13-year-old Bedford-Stuyvesant runaway who had also been pressed into service by Taylor and from another, unidentified pimp, according to authorities. Read more »

In a north London suburb last week, a schoolgirl was beaten, gang-raped and then had drain-cleaning fluid poured on her body apparently to destroy DNA evidence. In the eternal cesspit of senseless urban crime, I feel that a dreadful nadir of sorts has been reached, a benchmark of slaked lust and casual, sadistic cruelty.

Police sources say the 16-year-old will never fully recover from the injuries caused by the caustic soda and, at the time of writing, she remains under heavy sedation in a burns unit, fighting for her life.

One could weep an ocean for this young woman, her life ruined by these savages, who hunted in a pack like animals and dragged her to an empty house, caring nothing for her wellbeing or future.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas - Condemned prisoner Jose Medellin looked to the federal courts to keep him from the death chamber Tuesday for his part in the gang rape, beating and strangling of two teenage girls 15 years ago.

The Mexican-born Medellin, 33, faced lethal injection in a case that has drawn international attention after he raised arguments he wasn’t allowed to consult the Mexican consulate for legal help after he was arrested in the girls’ murders. Read more »

ORLANDO — If you had seen the reception John McCain got Friday at the National Urban League convention, you wouldn’t think he has a race problem  —  but he does. And it might surprise you to know what it is.

The Republican presidential candidate received a standing ovation as he walked on stage to give a speech that was interrupted 12 times by applause from the overwhelmingly black audience. And when he walked off the stage, he got another standing ovation. Two weeks earlier, McCain received a similar reception when he spoke at the NAACP’s convention. Read more »

CHICAGO - Many immigrant children get even less vigorous exercise than their U.S.-born counterparts, the largest study of its kind suggests. Plenty of earlier evidence shows that U.S. children are pretty inactive. The new study of nearly 70,000 children simply found even lower levels of activity among immigrants.

Almost 18 percent of foreign-born children with immigrant parents got no vigorous exercise on any days of the week, and 56 percent didn’t participate in organized sports.

By contrast, 11 percent of U.S.-born children with American parents got no vigorous exercise, and 41 percent didn’t participate in sports. Read more »

Paper money contains high traces of cocaine, regardless of whether or not the paper money came into direct contact with the drug. And U.S. bills take the top spot, covered in the greatest amount of the illegal powder, while Spanish notes are the most highly contaminated in Europe, a new study finds.

The findings, detailed in the latest issue of the journal Trends in Analytical Chemistry, reflect the popularity of the illicit drug, the researchers say.

“These findings should not be surprising, because cocaine and other drugs are traded using cash, which is handled by the same fingers that directly touch the drugs or wrappings,” chemists Sergio Armenta and Miguel de la Guardia from the University of Valencia in Spain write. “Moreover, many cocaine users use a wrapped banknote to sniff this drug, so inducing direct cocaine contamination of the banknotes.” Read more »

PHOENIX — A man who police said walked into a 7-Eleven carrying a 2-year-old with a 6-year-old in tow and shot and killed a convenience store clerk has been arrested, investigators say.

Officers arrested and charged Jermaine Canada, 27, with first-degree murder. A resident called 911 around 9 a.m. on Monday and reported seeing a man matching the description of the gunman in the 2600 block of W. Camelback Road, police said.

“The children were not with him at the time he was taken into custody, and that was a great concern for us,” said Detective Stacie Derge with the Phoenix Police Department. “We didn’t know where those kids were, but thankfully the kids are OK and they are in the custody of their mother.”The man had a brief conversation with the 7-Eleven clerk around 2:15 a.m. and then opened fire while holding the 2-year-old child, killing the 62-year-old clerk, officers said.

An anti-crime measure in Italy has some 3,000 troops taking up positions and patrolling streets in cities across the country Monday. But can the military help cut crime?

The controversial deployment of nearly 3,000 troops throughout Italy was introduced by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s center-right government as a move that would help combat crime. The government, which took office in April after Berlusconi successfully campaigned on a law-and-order platform, has linked crime and illegal immigration and passed a series of measures aimed at cracking down on both.

MEXICO CITY - Olga Arellano sobs as she recalls how her HIV-positive daughter spent two months succumbing to infections in a U.S. migrant detention center, complaining that she didn’t see a doctor or get the right medicine.

Fellow inmates also begged for help after Victoria Arellano started vomiting blood in their holding cell, where her lawyer said 105 detainees were crammed onto bunks and mattresses in a space designed for 40.

She died three days later, chained to a hospital bed. Read more »

NEW YORK - Two decades ago, the Rubashkin family of Brooklyn opened up a kosher slaughterhouse amid the cornfields of Iowa — not exactly a center of Jewish culture.

The bearded, fedora-wearing strangers from Brooklyn quickly transformed Postville into its own small-town melting pot. Immigrants from Guatemala and Mexico began arriving in great numbers to work at the slaughterhouse. Soon, the town was home to churches and temples, and the shelves of the grocery stores were stocked with tortillas and bagels.

Lately, though, the Rubashkins’ grand cultural experiment seems to have lost any chance at a feel-good ending. Read more »

JERUSALEM - An Israeli couple going on a European vacation remembered to take their duty-free purchases and their 18 suitcases, but forgot their 3-year-old daughter at the airport, police said Monday.

The couple and their five children were late for a charter flight to Paris Sunday and made a mad dash to the gate. In the confusion, their daughter got lost.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a policeman found her wandering in the duty-free area at Ben-Gurion airport, Israel’s bustling main international air portal. He said the officer alerted airline staff, but the flight had already taken off.

The incident happened on what Israeli media said was one of the busiest days of the year at the Israeli airport, with thousands of people leaving for summer vacations abroad. The Haaretz newspaper reported that 2.6 million passengers are expected to pass through the airport in July and August, an increase of 12 percent compared to the same period last year.   MORE>>>

Yonatan Stern, the “Sgan Mefaked Hakita” (deputy squad commander) of Kitat Konenut New York, insists his “paramilitary emergency armed response team” is no “group of vigilantes or a JDL [Jewish Defense League].”

“The goal of the organization is to have a competent and professional group of armed volunteers ready to respond to a threat at a moment’s notice in any area where Jews reside,” explains the Israeli combat veteran.

“We do not carry out demonstrations or political activity of any kind as we have no political agenda. Our agenda is to protect Jews wherever and whenever necessary and by any means needed.” Read more »

Recently appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Adm. Mike Mullen flew to Tel Aviv to warn Israel’s military establishment how “important” it was that “history not repeat itself ”—referring to Israel’s deliberate attack on the USS Liberty in June, 1967. The Establishment media blacked out the event (in which 34 American men were killed) for decades—and still does.

Given the fact that this brazen two-hour attack upon the United States has been hushed up for 41 years, the reason for Mullen’s meeting is obvious—someone within the intelligence or military apparatus of the United States has concluded that Israel is planning a “USS Liberty Part II,” meaning an attack on a U.S. ship, most likely in the Persian Gulf, leading to a massive loss of life to be blamed on Iran.

As was intended in 1967, when Israel attacked the Liberty, angry Americans would demand the “obliteration” of the guilty party, the false identity of which the Jewish media establishment in America would provide. And while all players involved have been tight-lipped about the particulars of this meeting, Mullen’s impromptu trip to Israel and subsequent discussion was in effect a stern warning to Israel to “Not even think about it.”

THE long Krylen beach in Denmark, which is peppered with Nazi bunkers, has become the big attraction this summer, drawing thousands of tourists for guided tours.

Four bunkers, entombed under the sand dunes of Houvig since 1945, were uncovered a few months ago in a violent storm, when giant waves swept away the sand, exposing glimpses of the cement and iron structures.

While thousands of bunkers were built by the Nazis along Denmark’s western shores to fend off an allied invasion, the recent discovery was a sensation for history buffs and archaeologists.

ALLEGATIONS of racism have been levelled against the owners of last year’s NSW liquor store of the year after staff were instructed to keep “coloureds” out of the shop unless they were willing to come in individually and be searched - and to call police if they refused.Tim Leonard, the owner of the Old Bar Cellars near Taree, on the North Coast, wrote a memo to staff in February outlining new rules for Aboriginal customers: “due to the fact that we have now had three known incidents of shop lifting involving the one coloured girl plus friends who has come in with two or three others coloureds [sic]”.

TIJUANA, Mexico - One of the busiest border crossings in the world, Tijuana is the front line of Mexico’s war against AIDS - and Angel Cabrera is an unlikely foot soldier.

 A former drug addict with an old bullet wound in the back, he now spends his days and many nights distributing free condoms and clean needles.

When President Felipe Calderon opens the 17th International AIDS Conference in Mexico City today, he can rightfully boast that his country has one of the lowest HIV rates in the Americas. The percentage of people living with HIV/AIDS in Mexico is half that of the United States and one-third that of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Panama, according to the most recent statistics from the United Nations agency UNAIDS.
