    While you may never personally become addicted, the chances of knowing someone who struggles with it are high. If you, or someone you know needs help, please be brave enough to ask, or strong enough to stand with them as they fight through the disease.

  3. Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT. I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better. Split second decisions are….

2…………> College Exams Cheats: Chinese Nationals

 

Federal authorities arrested five defendants linked to a scheme that helped Chinese nationals obtain student visas by hiring individuals who used fake Chinese passports to take an English proficiency test for the foreign students.

This is following a 26-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury charging the defendants with conspiring to use false passports, using false passports, and aggravated identity theft as part of the scheme to impersonate Chinese nationals who were required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to obtain a student visa.

The defendants are identified as follows:

Liu Cai, 23, of Woodland Hills, who allegedly facilitated the scheme, took at least five TOEFL exams himself and is residing in the United States on a student visa;

Quang Cao, 24, of San Francisco, who allegedly took at least four TOEFL exams with false identification, and who was arrested today in Stockton, California;

3…………>Drugs For Terror: Dutch Money Launderer

 

A Dutch narcotics trafficker and money launderer was returned to his home country March 11 by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) deportation officers, following an international investigation which led to a conviction and expulsion on multiple charges tied to an drug trafficking scheme of Jeroen Van Den Elshout, 39, to Amsterdam, and into the custody of Dutch law enforcement authorities

According to reports, in 2015, Elshout was arrested in Turnhout, Belgium, by Belgian law enforcement authorities and alleged to have been involved in a scheme with Netherlands based drug traffickers and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (“the FARC”), a foreign terrorist organization, to smuggle large quantities of cocaine from South America to the Netherlands.

In March 2017, Elshout was extradited to the US following his indictment in US District Court-Southern District of New York (SDNY) on drug trafficking, narco-terrorism, and providing material support to a terrorist organization charges.

4…………>US College Exams Cheaters: Famous Americans

 

Test administrators took bribes to allow clients to cheat, including correcting wrong test answers, and in some cases, the faces of children were “Photoshopped” onto images of athletes to exaggerate athletic credentials, with prosecutors now naming 33 parents and 13 coaches so far, but more could be charged.

The largest college admissions fraud scam unearthed in US history was run out of a small college preparation company in Newport Beach, California, that relied on bribes, phony test takers and even doctored photos depicting non-athletic applicants as elite competitors to land college slots for the offspring of rich parents, prosecutors said.

Federal authorities have arrested dozens of people over a $US25 million scheme to help wealthy Americans, including Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman and Full House actress Lori Loughlin, cheat their children’s way into elite universities, such as Yale and Stanford.

  1. Border Patrol and Law Enforcement has apprehended (captured) large numbers of illegal immigrants at the Border. They won’t be coming into the U.S. The Wall is being built and will greatly help us in the future, and now!

     

    2…………> Crooked Border Agent: Blood Money

     

    A former US Border Patrol Agent Robert Hall, 45, of La Feria, Texas, was sentenced to 114 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for accepting bribes in return for helping to smuggle illegal drugs into the United States.

      In total, Hall accepted over $50,000 in cash from the DTO in exchange for using his position as a BPA to enable the DTO’s drug shipments to cross the border into Texas without law enforcement detection.

      In exchange for cash payments, he provided an individual in the DTO with CBP sensor locations, the locations of unpatrolled roads at or near the US-Mexico border, the number of BPAs working in a certain area, keys to unlock CBP locks located on gates to ranch fences along the border and CBP radios

    According to the plea documents, between 2004 and 2014, Hall, working with others including Daniel Hernandez, 46, of Roseville, California, facilitated the trafficking of illegal drugs, including marijuana, into the United States from Mexico on behalf of a drug trafficking organization

    Hall, a former BPA, was sentenced by US District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr of the Southern District of Texas, who also ordered Hall to pay a fine in the amount of $20,000, after pleading guilty to one count of bribery on Sept 14, 2018, which was unsealed today.

    3…………> Filipino Jewelry Scam: Native Customers

     

    Philippines-based conspirators and crooks operating a fraudulent scheme to import Native American-style jewelry and sell it to retail stores and individuals across the southwest United States as authentic jewelry made by Native Americans, where slammed by a federal grand jury in Phoenix, Arizona 38-count indictment for perpetrating an international fraud and money laundering scheme in violation of federal laws, including the Indian Arts and Crafts Act (IACA).

      The conspirators allegedly took several measures to ensure that the jewelry resembled authentic Native American-made jewelry, including copying jewelry designs from genuine Native American artists, using traditional Native American motifs and symbols in the jewelry, and stamping the jewelry with the initials of alleged Native American artists.

    The defendants and their co-conspirators used various jewelry businesses, including Last Chance Jewelers and LMN Jewelers—to design and manufacture jewelry in the Native-American style at factories in the Philippines where Filipino jewelry-makers made all of the jewelry.

      From there, it was allegedly advertised and sold to the general public as authentic jewelry made by Native Americans, at jewelry and crafts stores that purported to specialize in Native American pieces.

    4…………>Uncle Don Signing Girls’ Bibles: Alabama Tornado Survivors

     

    President Trump signed two girls’ Bibles while at a makeshift relief center in Beauregard, where ten members of one family died in the tornado last weekend in the deadliest strike in the US since 24 people died in Moore, Oklahoma in 2013.

    President Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited the rural town which bore the brunt of the twister, standing on a hill overlooking a debris field and surveyed mangled trees and other wreckage before pausing in front of each of the white wooden crosses erected near a church that is serving as a makeshift disaster relief centre for survivors.

    Mr. Trump used a felt pen to scratch out his signature on the cover of the girl’s Bible, which was decorated with pink camouflage, and volunteer said the President and first lady signed a small Bible owned by her 10-year-old daughter, Meredith Pike.

    “She just reached out there and said, ‘Mr. President, would you sign this?'” Ms. Pike said.

  3. Bad lawyer and fraudster Michael Cohen said under sworn testimony that he never asked for a Pardon. His lawyers totally contradicted him. He lied! Additionally, he directly asked me for a pardon. I said NO. He lied again! He also badly wanted to work at the White House. He lied!

  4. Heading now to the Great State of Alabama!

  5. On International Women’s Day, we honor women worldwide for their vital role in shaping and strengthening our communities, families, governments, and businesses…

    2…………>Chinese US Inland Empire Marijuana Grow Houses

     

    Three men identified as ring leader Lin Li, aka Aaron Li, 37, of Chino, Ben Chen, 42, of Alhambra, who allegedly took care of the marijuana grows, and Jimmy Yu, 44, of Pasadena, a second alleged grow house caretaker, were arrested on federal charges alleging they took part in a scheme that used millions of dollars wired from China to purchase seven residential homes in San Bernardino County that were converted into illegal marijuana grow houses.

    According to a 120-page affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, Li, a real estate agent, orchestrated a scheme that purchased residential properties through transactions designed to conceal the homes’ true owners, converted the houses to marijuana grow operations, and trafficked marijuana, with most of the processed marijuana being sold to customers in California and Nevada.

    Today’s takedown is the result of a 14-month investigation that was initiated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and soon after was joined by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

    In relation to the criminal charges, the US Attorney’s Office, in coordination with the HSI’s Asset Identification and Removal Group, has begun the process to forfeit the seven homes where marijuana was being grown

     As a result of the searches, authorities seized approximately 1,650 marijuana plants from several grow houses, as well as cash at Li’s house currently estimated to be at least $80,000.

    3…………>Dirty Venezuelan Money: Maduro’s Cronies

     

    “Tareck Zaidan El Aissami Maddah has held key positions in the Government of Venezuela, including that of former Vice President and current Minister of Industry and National Production. He has used his position of power to engage in international drug trafficking, earning him the designation of Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker, along with his business partner Samark Lopez Bello. It is alleged that those arrested today, looking to fill their pockets with dirty money, aided El Aissami and Lopez Bello in circumventing sanctions and violating the Kingpin Act, an OFAC designation targeting those who pose a threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. El Aissami and Lopez Bello allegedly used private jets to set up private meetings around the globe including Turkey and Russia,” said Angel M. Melendez, special agent in charge of HSI New York.

    “International sanctions restrain the activities of individuals and countries deemed to have policies and practices incompatible with the US from receiving the full benefit of economic, political, humanitarian, and other support the US provides globally. Former Venezuelan Vice President Tareck Zaidan El Aissami Maddah allegedly evaded the sanctions imposed by OFAC by employing US companies to provide international transport via private jet. The enforcement of these sanctions is critical to the national security interests of the US, and I commend our law enforcement partners for their vigilance and assistance in bringing today’s charges,” said Geoffrey S. Berman, US Attorney for SDNY”.

    Following an investigation by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York’s El Dorado Task Force, the former Venezuelan Vice President Tareck Zaidan El Aissami Maddah (“El Aissami”) and Venezuelan businessman Samark Jose Lopez Bello were charged Thursday with criminal violations of the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (“Kingpin Act”) and sanctions imposed in February 2017 by the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) pursuant to the Kingpin Act.

    4…………>Eye To Eye: DHS vs Caravan Supporters

     

    Under the leadership of President Trump, the United States adopted tougher border policies, with law enforcement officials at the Mexico border pushing back attempts of unauthorized migrant caravans to enter the country, but not now according to a leaked secret database seen by the press, federal agents have targeted a number of activists, journalists and lawyers allegedly linked with the migrant caravan that tried to cross the nation’s southern border last year.

    Screenshots of the internal documents leaked by an anonymous official at the Department of Homeland Security revealed that the government was keeping tabs on at least ten journalists (seven of them from the United States), a US attorney, and 47 people from the US and other countries, flagged as suspected organizers, “instigators” or “associates.”

    These individuals are believed to be tied with the Central American migrant caravan that reached to the US-Mexico border in November, drawing reporters, lawyers and human rights activists from across the United States, and also indicates whether they have been arrested, interviewed, or had their visa or Mexico border pass revoked by officials.

    The database reportedly contains their passport photos or pictures from social media accounts.

    5…………>EU 1st Muslim Chancellor: Islamic Merkeldom Of Germany

     

    The righteous parliamentary group leader of Ayatolin Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Ralph Brinkhaus, “May Allah Shadow Fall Upon him”, is in hot water for suggesting that the Islamic Merkeldom of Germany may be led by a Muslim chancellor a decade from now, the slip-up occurring while speaking to a local evangelical Christian news outlet back in February.

    “Why not, if they’re a good politician, and they represent our values and our political views?” the politician asked.

    “The CDU is not a religious community that is what distinguishes us from the Catholic Church,” Ayatollah Brinkhaus said.

    CDU lawmaker and member of the party’s executive board, Elisabeth Motschmann challenged Brinkhaus’s sentiments about the compatibility of Islamic values with those of the CDU:

    “The values of Islam are very different from our values, for example, when it comes to questions of equal rights for men and women,” she said, adding that all the talk of Muslim chancellors was “unsettling” to voters.

    Eberhard Gienger, another CDU MP, also disagreed with Brinkhaus, telling Bild that Islamic values including Sharia law, polygamy, attitudes toward homosexuals, and “even the position of women” in society were incompatible with those of the party.

    Should this outrage be surprising to us? Not really, since the Mufty of Jerusalem was close personal friend of Reichsfuhrer SS Himmler, and thousands of Muslims fought and died in WW2 in support of the Hitler’s Wehrmacht.
