[RT] A woman in India has been locked away ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... after posing as a man and marrying two females for their dowries, allegedly abusing one of them to get her hands on the loot.
The bizarre scam apparently began when 26-year-old Sweety Sen from the state of Uttar Pradesh created a fake Facebook profile under the name Krishna Sen in 2013. She then uploaded photos of herself wearing men's clothing and used the account to get in touch with women, according to Senior Superintendent of Police Janmejay Khanduri, as cited by Indian Express.
In 2014, Sen and members of her family traveled to the town of Kathgodam to meet a 22-year-old woman that she had got in touch with on Facebook.
"Sen had convinced her that she [Sen] was a man," Khanduri said. The two were married the same year and began living together in a rented house. However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the perceived marital bliss ended when Sen began assaulting the woman for her dowry, police allege.
Later, in 2016, Sen married a 20-year-old woman and rented an apartment with her. Sen never allowed either woman to see her body, and used sex toys to maintain the illusion of being male, according to authorities.
In October 2017, Sen's first wife filed a police complaint, charging Sen with dowry theft and domestic violence. She alleged that Sen took $850,000 rupees (US$13,243) from her family, claiming she needed the money for a factory she owned in Hardwar. "We got married in 2014. She used to behave like a man, used to drink, smoke and also abuse. She used to threaten to kill me after she married another woman. It got confirmed after medical examination that she was a woman and not a man," the first wife told ANI news agency.

[RT] A ninth-grader was arrested after threatening students and staff at a school in eastern Spartanburg County, South Carolina with "Round 2 of Florida tomorrow" via Snapchat, according to the local sheriff’s office.
The minor, whose name cannot be revealed due to his age, was charged with disturbing schools, and was transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice facility in Greenville.
Lieutenant Kevin Bobo of the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office said another student had showed their father a Snapchat picture of a Broome High School freshman wearing a mask and holding what appeared to be an assault rifle, WSPA reported.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] She claimed in a written confession that she was made to put the note under the door by another girl, who said she would get her friend to fight her if she did not.

transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice facility in Greenville.
[NYPOST] Before Nikolas Cruz carried out his mass killing at a Florida high school this week, police responded to his home 39 times over a seven-year period, according to disturbing new documents.
Details about the calls to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office ‐ obtained from police records by CNN ‐ were not immediately available and it was impossible to determine if all involved Cruz.
But the nature of the emergencies at his Parkland home included "mentally ill person," "child/elderly abuse," "domestic disturbance" and "missing person," KTLA reported.
And a schoolmate, Brody Speno, told the network that cops were called to Cruz’s home "almost every other week."
[RT] Controversial former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik has accused the FBI of “wasting resources chasing Russian collusion,” instead of pursuing tips about potential criminals, such as the Florida school shooter.
Kerik, who served as police commissioner during the 9/11 attacks, referred to an article on Thursday that said a YouTube user named 'Nikolas Cruz' had announced last September: “I'm going to be a professional school shooter.”
[NYPost] The Florida school shooting suspect says he’ll plead guilty — so long as prosecutors promise not to seek the death penalty, according to a report.
Lawyers for Nikolas Cruz — who faces 17 counts of premeditated murder for shooting up his former high school Wednesday — told a local ABC affiliate about their proposed bargain Friday.
The state hasn’t said whether it will accept the deal, Local News 10 reports.
Cruz has confessed to police that he deliberately gunned down the students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, authorities say.
But he also claims “demon” voices told him to do it, law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
The younger Cruz brother was involuntarily committed to a mental health facility under Florida’s Baker Act, under which he can be held involuntarily for up to 12 hours for an involuntary psychiatric exam. It’s unclear if he’s been released.
Nikolas Cruz left Deschamps’ Lantana, FL mobile home around Thanksgiving after he and Deschamps squared off over a gun.
“He bought a gun and wanted to bring it into my house,” she said in comments that have since been wiped from her Facebook page, the paper reported.
Chad Bennett, a family friend, said Deschamps gave Cruz an ultimatum and Cruz “chose the gun and he left.” He moved in with family in northern Broward county, a Cruz family lawyer told the newspaper.
The brother was previously described as quiet and staying in the house while Nikolas was peeping in neighbours’ windows and trying to kill their pets, which suggests the younger boy might be suicidal.

[PAKISTANTODAY.PK] An Emirati husband who allegedly killed his wife by throwing acid on her after she demanded divorce has been sentenced to death.
After being released from jail in February 2016, the man had accused his wife of extra-marital relations but couldn’t substantiate his claim. Subsequently, he threw acid on his wife in front of three of their children.
Prior to the incident, the mother of six had also filed for divorce after learning that her husband had married for a second time, as revealed in the court documents.
The eldest son of the couple, now 17, and his younger brother also suffered burns while trying to rescue their mother. The children did manage to call the ambulance.
The woman was admitted to Al Mafraq hospital before getting treatment by a burn expert in Germany. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... she died due to injuries of second and third degree burns over 70 per cent of her body.
The woman’s family refused to pardon the killer in exchange for blood money and demanded death penalty for the man. The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance then issued the said verdict.
The family of the victim demanded Dh200,000 by filing a temporary civil compensation suit against the suspect because of the woman’s death and burns suffered by the children.
Authorities stated that the man attempted to commit suicide twice at Al Wathba jail. The death sentence can be appealed within 14 days after the issuance of the ruling.

[PAKISTANTODAY.PK] Germany’s defence minister pledged to spend more on its military and the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... , but she called in return for other countries not to turn away from mulitlateralism.
Ursula von der Leyen’s remarks came days after US Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis reiterated President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s demand that European countries spend more on their militaries.
In a speech on Friday to the Munich Security Conference, von der Leyen said Germany was prepared to play a bigger international role, by increasing its military spending and its contributions to the United Nations. But she urged the United States to stick to a multilateral path.
"We are concerned when we see that some partners keep cutting funds for diplomacy, development cooperation and the United Nations," she said. The US State Department has been subject to deep cuts under Trump’s presidency.
[DW] The German military is under-equipped to take on its upcoming role as leader of NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... 's anti-Russian defense force, a leaked document shows. Opposition politicians say the defense minister is to blame.
The German military has secretly admitted that it can't fulfill its promises to NATO, according to documents leaked to Die Welt newspaper on Thursday.
The Bundeswehr is due to take over leadership of NATO's multinational Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) at the start of next year, but doesn't have enough tanks, the Defense Ministry document said.
Specifically, the Bundeswehr's ninth tank brigade in Munster only has nine operational Leopard 2 tanks ‐ even though it promised to have 44 ready for the VJTF ‐ and only three of the promised 14 Marder armored infantry vehicles.
The paper also revealed the reason for this shortfall: a lack of spare parts and the high cost and time needed to maintain the vehicles. It added that it was also lacking night-vision equipment, automatic grenade launchers, winter clothing and body armor.
The German air force is also struggling to cover its NATO duties, the document revealed. The Luftwaffe's main forces, the Eurofighter and Tornado fighter jets and its CH-53 transport helicopters, are only available for use an average of four months a year ‐ the rest of the time the aircraft are grounded for repairs and rearmament.
"The state for all part-time forces are similarly worrying," Hans-Peter Bartels, parliamentary commissioner for the armed forces, told Die Welt. Opposition politicians blamed Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen for allowing the military to deteriorate.
According to the leaked document, the army would now be trying to cover its "capacity-relevant deficits out of the stocks of other units" ‐ even though that would impact training and exercises elsewhere.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] George Soros argues internet giants are contributing to the break-up of society
By influencing how people think, firms such as Google and Facebook are making their users easy to manipulate as happened during the 2016 election, he argues
While US regulators are not strong enough to defend people, the EU is, he says
Soros believes the firms should be regulated in the same way as public utilities

[PAKISTANTODAY.PK] The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday issued a contempt of court notice to former SSP Malir Rao Anwar over his failure to appear in court in a case pertaining to the extrajudicial murder of Naqeebullah, a young man from South Wazoo.
Headed by Chief Justice of Pakistain (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar, a three-judge bench ordered the authorities concerned to freeze the absconding officer’s bank accounts and assets.
At the start of the hearing, the CJP asked Sindh police chief Allah Dino Khowaja whether or not Rao Anwar has arrived at the court. To which, he replied that the suspended police officer has not arrived yet.
CJP Nisar observed that Rao Anwar missed a good opportunity to surrender himself despite having been granted protective bail. He noted it was the duty of the IG Sindh to find the former SSP Malir and assured that the court was ready to extend any kind of cooperation for the purpose.

[BREITBART] The International Rescue Committee (IRC), an open borders-backing NGO fronted by former Labour Foreign Secretary David Miliband has been accused of "hushing up" allegations of more than 30 crimes.
UK government ministers froze funds to the NGO, which is a major partner of globalist billionaire George Soros ...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true... , "based on direct reporting of sexual harassment and fraud", it was reported this week.
With nearly five and a half million pounds of taxpayer cash at stake, a team from the IRC was sent to look into claims made over the body’s behaviour in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material...
Regarding Congo, don't forget the lithium that makes computers and cellphone batteries and the cobalt needed for modern magnets in motors used in electronics and electric cars. Those 2 chemicals plus chrome pretty much pay for the endless war.
But according to The Sun, when an IRC team was sent to Africa to look into 24 cases where the scandal was first reported, it found a further 13 ethics breaches.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of 13 Russian nationals on Friday confirms Russia sought to promote anti-Trump protests after the election as a way of sowing discord in American society.
Russian operatives organized a rally titled "Trump is NOT my President" in New York City on Nov. 12, 2016, less than a week after the election, the indictment states.
#6
Although the reports said that Russians interfered, for example, by organizing opposing party demonstrations, yesterday, I predicted this would morph into something against Trump. Here it is: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-16/u-s-charges-13-russians-3-companies-for-hacking-election
#9
The indictment of these Russians is a sham. Most of the things mentioned in the indictment are not illegal. Most of the "sowing of discord" was done from Russia. These people will not be brought from Russia to the U.S. for anything. George Soros has done far more nefarious meddling in the U.S. than anything mentioned in the indictment. Ditto that for HRC and the DNC.
[MIL.com] WASHINGTON ‐ Chief of staff John Kelly is ordering changes to the White House security clearance process after allegations against an ex-aide.
Kelly sent a memo Friday to top White House aides in which he proposed several changes. He acknowledged that the White House "must do better" in handing clearances.
The issue has been in the spotlight for two weeks since it was revealed that former staff secretary Rob Porter had an interim clearance that allowed him access to classified material despite allegations of spousal abuse from two ex-wives.
Kelly has come under fire since Porter's resignation.
The chief of staff also called for the FBI and Justice Department to hand-deliver completed background checks to the White House counsel office.
#2
The question is not why did they not have a clearance. The question is why after a year there are still staff members waiting on their clearance? Clearances can take some time in the Que. The presidents staff should go to the front of that line, not get stuck in line with every other person. This was deliberate slow rolling.

This was deliberate slow rolling.
I agree. The Washington Free Beacon reported in January 2017 about revelations that the FBI had denied Ben Rhodes an interim security clearance during the 2008 Obama transition and that the House investigation leader into the subject asked, “Why was Ben Rhodes the only applicant out of 187 to be rejected for an interim security clearance?”
So the interim security clearance exists, and was applied to President Obama’s people during the transition — excepting the slimy little novelist who prided himself on creating an echo chamber around the Iran deal, and yet he was eventually was given a full fledged clearances. We are now over a year away from President Trump’s inauguration, and even farther from the transition.
