‘My Children Are Frightened,' New York Farmer Says After Animal Activists Try To Steal Cattle
[Daily Caller] New York farmer Paul Strobel said in an interview with Fox on Thursday morning that animal rights activists tried to steal his farm animals multiple times.
Are they one of the Black Bloc groups or something more innocent?
Two people were videotaping his cattle, barn, and security systems, Strobel told Fox. When he ran outside, the potential thieves ran away. Strobel said he believes they returned later in the day, but left after they saw him working outside.

Niagra County
...that’s Niagara, actually, in western New York State north of Buffalo, containing Niagara Falls and a bit of Lake Ontario shoreline. Very bucolic...
Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) posted a public alert on April 18, warning farmers to stay alert for suspicious activity. The statement warned farmers that activists were trespassing on private property to record the facilities and perform "animal rescue."

UCLA box doctor convicted of sexually abusing patients
[Breitbart] A 66-year-old former UCLA gynecologist will spend the next 11 years in prison after being indicted for sexually abusing patients.

In October, James Heaps was found guilty on three counts of sexual battery by fraud and two counts of sexual penetration regarding two of his patients, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

The defense recently argued for another trial but the judge refused, according to KCAL News.

Video footage shows Heaps, wearing an orange shirt with "LA County Jail" printed on it, with his eyes downcast while sitting in the courtroom:

Colorado teens charged in fatal rock-throwing spree took photo of victim's car as 'memento'

Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik

Zack Kwak

Joseph Koenig
[NYPOST] The three Colorado teenagers accused of chucking a rock through the window of a 20-year-old driver, killing her, returned to the crash scene and snapped a photo of the victim’s vehicle as a "memento," according to arrest records.

Alexa Bartell was killed last Wednesday night when Joseph Koenig, Nicholas "Mitch" Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak allegedly hurled a heavy landscaping rock through her windshield in Arvada during a twisted rock-throwing spree, authorities have said.

Bartell crashed her car into a field and died on scene.

After the teens fled, Kwak allegedly told the others, "We have to go back and see that," according to an arrest affidavit provided to the Post.

They went back and then Kwak took a photo of the car as a "memento."

As the teens drove home, Koenig and Karol-Chik talked about how the three were now "blood brothers" and could never speak of what happened, Kwak told Sherlocks.

The next day, Kwak and Koenig met to "get their stories straight," according to the affidavit.

Looking at his picture, at first I couldn't tell if he might be a girl. Too bad for him where he's going. But then, he might like it. That's why hanging him from the overpass sounds like a better idea.

Jerry Springer, Host of Rowdy and Controversial Daytime Talk Show, Dies at 79
[Yahoo] Jerry Springer, the former Cincinnati news anchor and mayor who came to preside over the controversial and extremely profitable talk show bearing his name, has died. He was 79.

Springer died peacefully Thursday at his home in the Chicago suburbs after a brief illness.

“Jerry’s ability to connect with people was at the heart of his success in everything he tried whether that was politics, broadcasting or just joking with people on the street who wanted a photo or a word,” said Jene Galvin, a lifelong friend and spokesman for the family, in a statement obtained by Variety. “He’s irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memories of his intellect, heart and humor will live on.”
Mr. Springer was a very popular city councilman and mayor, back in the 1970s to early 1980s, when we first moved to Cincinnati. Extroverted, fun, a bit wild... I seem to recall he had a call-in radio show during that stage. And of course, the story that his political career stuttered when he went across the river into Kentucky for a bit of extracurricular adventure, then paid the prostitute with a personal check. Even after he left for television, he stayed involved in the local scene.

#2  Jerry's staged chaotic talk show dramas have now been replaced by actual coach air travel eruptions. What was once comedic aberrant behavior is now an accepted societal norm. Perhaps his was a foretelling.

#4  #3 I told you guys, it's my Comedic Theory of History. The most outrageous acts, propositions, and suggestions of previous years become contemporary verities.

Admittedly Springer falls loosely within that sphere as he would not admit openly to doing comedy.

Never forget Groucho in the guise of the obviously demented newly installed dictator singing, 'no one's allowed to smoke, or tell a dirty joke and whistling is prohibited.' Only to finish with the now timely chorus, 'if you think this country's bad off now, just wait til I get through with it.'

Who can forget watching 'Blazing Saddles' come to life as OJ took a page out of Cleavon Little's sheriff and took himself hostage. As expected, the white people bought it and shut down one of the largest 1st world cities on Earth.

The examples are legion and in these gray, sere times a fine pretext to research actual humor from when we were allowed such things.

I suppose we can only thank our personal God that the commisariat doesn't take a fancy to the 3 Stooges or le genius Americaine, Jerry Lewis.

I will not stand for anything
That's crooked or unfair
I'm strictly on the up and up
So everyone beware
If someone gets caught taking graft
And I don't get get my share
We stand 'em up against the wall
And Pop! Goes the weasel

The country's taxes must be fixed
And I know what to do with it
If you think you're paying too much now
Just wait till I get through with it


Ninety years since Groucho sung that, and not a damned thing has changed.

Britain
Kurdish politician elected mayor of London borough
[Rudaw] A Sulaimani-born Kurdish politician was elected mayor of a southern London borough on Wednesday , reciting his vows in traditional Kurdish clothing, a ritual he also practiced last year when he took up the position of deputy mayor.

Sarbaz Barznji
...Labour, of course — it’s Lambeth...
has rapidly climbed up the Lambeth municipality ladder over the past year, from being elected councilor in early May 2022, to moving up to the deputy mayor position less than 20 days later, and finally elected Mayor of Lambeth on Wednesday.

He recited his vows at the inauguration ceremony in both Kurdish and English.

"I am happy and I hope I can faithfully fulfill the responsibility I have been given," Barznji told Rudaw’s Hemin Baban Rahim.

The Labour party’s Lambeth branch congratulated Barznji on his new role, calling it "well-deserved."

"I'm excited to work with Sarbaz [Barznji] over the coming year and know he will be an amazing champion for our whole community," tweeted Bell Ribeiro-Addy, a member of the British parliament.

The newly elected mayor, who moved to London as a teenager, graduated with a master’s degree in civil engineering structures from London’s City University in 2014, and is currently a visiting lecturer at the university.

Barznji became a well-respected figure in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping deliver hot meals to health workers in hospitals, as well as providing accommodation and food to refugees. He attracted media attention in July 2021 when he attempted to rescue one of his neighbors from a burning building.

Europe
Netflix devotes series to Varian Fry, the man who saved thousands from Vichy France in WWII
[France24] The story of Varian Fry, a US journalist who helped some 2,000 of Europe’s imperilled artists, writers and refugees escape from Nazi-occupied Europe, has inspired the new Netflix series "Transatlantic". FRANCE 24 takes a look at a hero who risked his life many times over before falling into relative anonymity.

The new Netflix series "Transatlantic" dramatises the short but intense period of Fry’s life when he helped found the Emergency Rescue Committee and enabled hundreds of illustrious writers, artists and refugees to flee Vichy France.

Varian Fry, enamoured by European artists and writers, first travelled to Berlin in 1935 as a bookish and scholarly young journalist. But instead of finding high culture, he witnessed first-hand the violence meted out by fascist thugs in the streets of the German capital. He saw the SS beating and bloodying Jewish women and men, later writing that the police didn't make any effort to save the victims from the brutality, instead trying to clear the area for cars to get through.

In June 1940, Nazi forces marched into Paris, creating a massive exodus of refugees to the south of France. Driven by his abhorrence for Nazism and all that it stood for, Fry helped found the Emergency Rescue Committee (ERC). Its mission was to help anyone persecuted by the Nazis, including European writers, artists or intellectuals, both Jewish and non-Jewish.

320-year-old newspaper to end print run
[GEO.TV] The Austrian parliament decided Thursday to end the print run of one of the world's oldest newspapers Wiener Zeitung and move it online.

The decision came after a years-long spat between the Austrian government and the newspaper around the fate of the state-owned paper.

The paper, founded in 1703, initially circulated under the name Wiennerisches Diarium and was later renamed to Wiener Zeitung in 1780. The Daily was a private entity until it was nationalised by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria in 1857, becoming the country's official gazette.

"It is adopted with a majority," Norbert Hofer, the third president of the parliament, said of a new law to shift the publication online from July 1.

However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
the old paper will keep a minimum of ten print publications per year, relying on the budgets available.

The World Association of News Publishers told the press that, in 2004, the Wiener Zeitung was ranked as one of the oldest newspapers still in circulation.

The newspaper's primary source of income as the official gazette will move to a separate state-owned online platform.

The Austrian government claimed that this was in accordance with a European order to centralise and issue official information online.

Die Zeit: US eavesdropped on German Defense Ministry talks
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] American intelligence agencies monitored closed talks between representatives of the defense departments of Germany and China in February of this year. This was reported by Die Zeit, Tagesschau and the ARD TV channel, citing a US intelligence report leaked to the Web.
Everyone spies on everyone else. Periodically a specific instance of this ongoing behaviour becomes public, allowing the observed party to wax loudly indignant for their voters.
Representatives of the German Defense Ministry and Chinese military circles held a closed meeting on February 20. In one of the documents that got on the Internet, which was later deleted, it is said about the content of the meeting.

US intelligence indicated, in particular, that the German Defense Ministry is refusing deeper cooperation with China, as it expects greater transparency from Beijing.

The document also stated that the Germans knew about the policy of "charm" that the representatives of the People's Republic of China pursued during a visit to Europe in the face of increased political pressure from the United States. The Germans, as was pointed out, consider their position to be a confirmation of solidarity with Washington.

The German TV channel noted that the content of the document is not as remarkable as the very fact of American surveillance of German government agencies. The data on the negotiations are marked as "top secret", and "reconnaissance by means of communications" is indicated as the method of obtaining them.

Editions Die Zeit and Tagesschau added that Berlin officially informed the US Embassy about the negotiations with the Chinese side and this is the absurdity of the incident.

Washington did not respond to requests from publications asking them to confirm the authenticity of excerpts from the reports. There has been no official response from the German government yet.

As REGNUM reported , the US Department of Defense is investigating a leak to the Network of classified materials with information about the state of Ukrainian troops and Washington and NATO's plans to strengthen them. Earlier in April, US National Guard Air Force soldier Jack Teixeira was detained in connection with the leak.

The leak, among other things, made it possible to reveal the US government's surveillance of UN Secretary General António Guterres. It follows from the documents that the secretary general was spied on because of his "willingness to meet the interests of Russia", for example, in the situation with the grain deal.

The representative of the UN Secretary-General Stéphane Dujarric expressed concern over reports of wiretapping of Guterres talks. First Deputy Chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Novikov (KPRF), commenting on the incident, said that the United States has ceased to be a state that is capable of ensuring the normal functioning of the UN. Therefore, it is time to think about locating the headquarters of an international organization in another country.

India-Pakistan
Pakistani Parents Lock Graves To Protect Deceased Daughters From Being Raped— Report
[SAHARAREPORTERS] The social environment created by Pakistain has given rise to a sexually charged and repressed society, where some people have resorted to locking their daughter's graves to protect them from sexual violence.
Ew. Yuck.
According to India Today, some parents have resorted to locking their daughter’s grave after a girl's body was discovered outside a cemetery in Qila Didar Singh, Gujranwala. She was allegedly sexually raped in 2013.
I'm not convinced there's any kind of rape besides sexual.
Recently, another shocking incident came to light in which the body of Zainab, a 15-year-old daughter of one Muhammad Munir, was discovered outside a cemetery. She died of electrocution the day before and was buried by her family on Tuesday night. Local people discovered her corpse outside the cemetery and notified the family and authorities.

The police suspect that the body had been removed from the grave with the intention of sexual assault.

Officials stated that the desecration of the remains would be proven after the inquiry was concluded and that any offenders involved would face appropriate punishment.
Police in Qila Didar Singh have apprehended a suspect and begun an investigation.

Ahmadi lawyer booked, arrested in Karachi for having ‘Syed’ in his name Imtiaz Ali
And they can’t call where they pray mosques, lest real Moslems be confused.
[Dawn] A senior lawyer from the Ahmadiyya community was booked and arrested on Thursday in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
on the complaint of another lawyer over allegation of using "Syed" in his name.

It was the second time in as many years that Advocate Ali Ahmed Tariq had been booked on similar charges.

The first information report (FIR), a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, was filed at City Court Police Station and invokes Section 298-B (misuse of epithets, descriptions, and titles, etc, reserved for certain holy personages or places) of the Pakistain Penal Code

In the FIR, complainant Advocate Mohammed Azhar Khan stated that during an appearance before a district judge he observed that Advocate Tariq had used "Syed" with his name in the affidavit while pleading a case.

The complainant said that Tariq was an Ahmadi who had deliberately affixed "Syed" with his name. He, therefore, requested for a case to be registered against Advocate Tariq.

City Courts Station House Officer (SHO) Adil Khan told Dawn.com that members of the Ahmadiyya community were not supposed to call themselves Moslems or present themselves as ’Ahle Bait’ under relevant laws.

He added that Tariq was booked after he "misrepresented himself" as a "Syed" while submitting his affidavit in the court as a lawyer.

"The police have taken action and arrested the lawyer who would likely be presented before the court on Friday," SHO Khan said.

Ahmadiyya Jamaat, through its spokesperson Amir, expressed its concerns over the lodging of two identical FIRs and at the same cop shoppe against the senior lawyer.

Advocate Tariq was booked over similar allegations in November as well.

#1  Maybe he identifies as a “Syed.”

#2  A pure Pakistani assassin
Attacked a poor Kharijjte passin'
For Syed who claimed --
Oh, how bore he the shame? --
To descend from Hussein or fromm Hassan.
