9 bodies, 2 severed heads found in Tokyo flat
[DAWN] Japanese police have found nine bodies, including two with their heads severed and dumped in a cool box, in a flat in the Tokyo suburbs, media reported on Tuesday.

Police confirmed to AFP they had locked away
I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!
27-year-old Takahiro Shiraishi, who lives in the apartment in Zama, south of Tokyo.

According to public broadcaster NHK, Shiraishi told police: "I killed them and did some work on the bodies in order to hide the evidence."

Jiji Press said Shiraishi had told police that he chopped up the bodies in a bathroom and a saw was found in his room.

The bodies were of eight women and one man, several media reported. A police front man could not immediately confirm these reports.

According to Jiji Press, police found the two heads inside a cool box at the entrance of the apartment before making the grisly discovery of the other bodies.

Police found the other bodies in a number of large boxes in the apartment, reports said.

Authorities had been investigating the disappearance of a 23-year-old woman and discovered a connection between her and Shiraishi.

This woman had earlier tweeted "I'm looking for someone to die with me", according to the Sankei Shimbun daily.

Other media said Shiraishi and the woman had connected via a website featuring information about suicides.

Television pictures showed a heavy police presence blocking off a nondescript white-tiled terraced apartment.

US Global Thunder Exercise Timed to Coincide with Other Events
[Strategic-Culture.org] The US Strategic Command (StratCom) kicked off its largest annual training exercise on October 30 with the commencement of Global Thunder 2018. The training event involves StratCom’s headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base as well as its many subordinate units around the world, such as missile and bomber wings. It encompasses all missions, including strategic deterrence, space operations, cyberspace operations, joint electronic warfare, global strike, missile defense and intelligence, and is expected to last for about 10 days.

The United States had warned Russia about Global Thunder in advance as required by the New START. Last week, Russia held a strategic nuclear forces’ exercise too. President Vladimir Putin personally took part in the event as the Supreme Commander in Chief. The tests included an ICBM, three submarine-launched ballistic missiles and "an unknown number" of air-launched cruise missiles.

Arabia
Saudi women to be allowed into sports stadiums
[DAWN] Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
will allow women into sports stadiums as of next year, the kingdom’s latest step towards easing rules on gender segregation but they will be seated in the so-called family section, an area separate from the male-only crowd.

Still, the decision, announced on Sunday, marks another incremental step towards greater women’s rights in the kingdom.

The General Sports Authority described the decision as one that will allow "families" into the stadiums a term authorities use to refer to the public spaces that accommodate women.

These "family" sections are for women who are out on their own or who are accompanied by a male relative. Many restaurants and cafes, which often also have separate entrances for women, have similarly segregated seating arrangements.

The authority said the three major sports stadiums in the capital, Riyadh, and the cities of Jiddah and Dammam will undergo renovations to accommodate families.

The decision comes after the public appeared to welcome a decision to allow women to drive for the first time next year. Many also responded enthusiastically when women were allowed into the Riyadh stadium for national day celebrations last month.

China-Japan-Koreas
Disrespecting the national anthem in China may soon mandate prison time
[DAWN] China's legislature is considering a bill mandating prison sentences of up to three years for disrespecting the national anthem, amid rising nationalist appeals from the ruling Communist Party under the leadership of President Xi Jinping.

The move reported on Tuesday by state media follows Xi's appointment to a second five-year term as party leader, for which he has designated as a central motif of realising the "Chinese Dream" of a powerful, prosperous nation.

Since taking office in 2012, Xi has established a growing cult of personality that leans heavily on his image as a patriotic leader who brooks no slight to national dignity.

Hallmarks of his term in office have included a stronger military, bolder foreign policy and aggressive economic expansion abroad, as well as sharply reduced space for criticism or political dissent at home.

Europe
The Kremlin Targets Ukraine Through Hungary
[ISW] Key Takeaway: Russia has likely exploited recent tensions between Hungary and Ukraine to support its campaign to drive a wedge between Ukraine and its neighbors. The Kremlin has also revived its subversion in Western Ukraine focusing on minorities’ autonomy issues. It is unlikely that the Kremlin intends to create an insurgency there as it did in Eastern Ukraine, but it may create another fissure that destabilizes Kyiv. The Kremlin is also likely to attempt to stoke tensions between Ukraine and its other neighbors with minorities in Western Ukraine, such as Poland. The U.S. must watch these trends, which are likely to be slow-burning and subtle. They have implications for Ukraine’s stability and provide insight into Russia’s evolving methods of irregular warfare.

The Grand Turk
Legislator sued for calling Turkey's Erdogan 'fascist dictator'
[DAWN] Ottoman Turkish state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
says a lawyer for President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
has filed a criminal complaint against an opposition politician for calling the leader a "fascist
...anybody not a leftist...
dictator."

Lawmaker Bulent Tezcan, who is the front man for the main opposition party, made the comments in a town in northwest The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
on Monday, to support a local mayor who was questioned by authorities for reportedly calling Erdogan a "dictator."

TRT television says Erdogan's lawyer filed a complaint on Tuesday, accusing Tezcan of insulting the president a crime that is punishable by up to four years in prison.

Erdogan has filed similar complaints against close to 2,000 people before withdrawing them after last year's failed coup as a goodwill gesture.

Alabama's Judge Roy Moore holds commanding lead in Senate race
[Breitbart] Judge Roy Moore holds a commanding lead in the Alabama Senate race and has "united" local Republicans behind him, according to a poll released Tuesday ‐ data that crushes the establishment narrative that Moore is a divisive figure who may botch a winnable election.

The poll, first reported by Politico, was put out in a polling memo by the McConnell-backed Senate Leadership Fund which campaigned vigorously for Moore’s primary rival Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL). But, despite warnings from establishment voices that Moore was too extreme and could cost the GOP a safe seat, the poll shows the exact opposite.

The Axis Research poll shows the race is looking "less and less competitive" and gives Moore a 17-point lead over Democratic challenger Doug Jones.

"Not only is nearly half of the electorate (49%) DEFINITELY voting for Roy Moore, the data shows Moore has united the Republican Party following the Republican primary and the Republican run-off, and earns strong support throughout the conservative coalition," the memo says.

13 deaths in family: Daughter-in-law held for spiking lassi with poison
[DAWN] MUZAFFARGARH: Police jugged
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
a woman and her two accomplices on Monday in Lashariwala for allegedly spiking lassi with rat killing pills resulting in the death of 13 people of her family.

Dera Ghazi Khan Regional Police Officer (RPO) Sohail Tajak said this at a presser here on Monday.

The police presented suspects Asia Bibi, her friend Shahid and relative Zareena at the briefing.

A special team of police had been formed to probe into the death of 13 family members of Akram Lashari, of Mauza Kundai, in Seetpur. The police arrested the three who have confessed to committing the crime.

The RPO said Asia Bibi was not happy with her marriage to her cousin, Amjad, the son of Akram Lashari.

During her 45-day marriage, she quarrelled with her husband and in-laws several times and left her house for her parents.

According to police, Asia with Shahid and Zareena made a plan to kill her husband Amjad and other family members. On Oct 26, she put the poisonous tablets in the curd pot. During lunch, she served the spiked drink to the family members and 19 people fell unconscious one by one. They were shifted to the Nishtar Hospital in Multan and the Dera Ghazi Khan Teaching Hospital where 13, including Amjad, have died while six others are still under treatment.

District Police Officer Awais Ahmad said a case under the Anti-Terrorism Act had been registered against Asia and her accomplices.

Police officer arrested in Rawalpindi couple kidnapping case
[DAWN] Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

police on Tuesday incarcerated
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
an assistant sub-inspector for his involvement in the kidnapping of a couple kidnapped from outside their house in Rawalpindi in the month of June, police said.

"Westridge police have arrested Mohammad Jahangir for kidnapping a man and his wife on June 5," Station House Officer (SHO) Haji Tariq told DawnNews on Tuesday.

After his arrest, Jahangir was presented before a magistrate court, which had granted physical remand of the accused to police, Tariq added

The SHO also revealed that the accused had also been involved in kidnapping cases before. He claimed that Jahangir runs an organised crime racket in which two constables of the Punjab police have also been found to be involved.

According to the SHO, the two constables are currently serving at a cop shoppe in Chakwal. The police have formed search teams for their arrest.

Sub Inspector Imtiaz Hussain told DawnNews that at the time of his arrest, Jahangir was already serving time in a jail in Punjab for another crime.

He said that after the case was registered in June against the former ASI, the police obtained his phone records and used them to track down the accused.

The abductee, Khalid Latif, who was picked up from Rawalpindi's Charring Cross road along with his wife, told DawnNews that as they walking out of their house that day, a car had pulled up and the former ASI and two uniformed constables had stepped out of it to accost them.

Latif added that other men, wearing plain clothes, were sitting inside the vehicle. "All the men were armed," he recalled.

Latif claimed that the men had told him that a police case had been registered against him in Jhelum and asked him to come with them. When he asked them to show him a copy of the case, the men forced him and his wife into their vehicle and drove off.

Latif added that after they crossed the Madara Hotel Plaza, the car came to a stop and he and his wife were told to step out as the suspects changed vehicles.

When Latif and his wife cried for help, motorway police officials stationed nearby came to their rescue. The suspects fled, taking the couple's mobile phones and jewelry with them.

British charity Oxfam dismisses 22 staff over sexual abuse
Wow. Whoda thunk that Trump guy would have such an impact, even changing mores in the sophisticated Olde World?
[PRESSTV] Britannia-based charity organization Oxfam says it has dismissed nearly two dozen staff members over allegations of sexual abuse in the last year.

The leading charity group sacked 22 members of its staff after dealing with 87 claims of sexual exploitation and abuse, involving around 5,000 workers in the one-year period ending April 2017, a 36 percent increase in one year.

Oxfam said that about three-quarters of the claims had culminated in disciplinary action, adding that it referred 53 claims to the police and conducted internal investigations for 33 claims.

"Oxfam treats all allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation very seriously," it said in a statement, noting that data on allegations of sexual abuse by staff had been published in its annual reports.

The dismissals came as campaigners and rights activists called on world governments to take a closer look at the funding they provide to aid and charity groups.

Brett Ratner Exposed As The Latest Hollywood Scumbag
Get a load of the sympathetic-as-possible pic the shithead apologists at the L.A. Times use for Rattner...

Natasha Henstridge was watching a movie on Brett Ratner’s couch when she fell asleep. She was a 19-year-old fashion model; he was an up-and-coming music video director in his early 20s. They had been hanging out in front of the TV with friends at his New York apartment.

But when Henstridge woke up, the others had left. She was alone with Ratner. She got up to leave, Henstridge said, but he blocked the doorway with his body and wouldn’t budge. He began touching himself, she said, then forced her to perform oral sex.

"He strong-armed me in a real way. He physically forced himself on me," she said. "At some point, I gave in and he did his thing."

#11  Let politicians, schoolteachers, and administrators, community leaders, ministers, and parents drill into children the message that in a free society, they enter adulthood with three major responsibilities: at least finish high school, get a full-time job and wait until age 21 to get married and have children.

Our research shows that of American adults who followed these three simple rules, only about 2 percent are in poverty and nearly 75 percent have joined the middle class (defined as earning around $55,000 or more per year). There are surely influences other than these principles at play, but following them guides a young adult away from poverty and toward the middle class.
