Matt Gaetz Exonerated from 'Pile of Lies' After Man Charged with Extortion

 

Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz has been exonerated after 62-year-old Stephen Alford was recently indicted by the Department of Justice for extortion. 

"Stephen M. Alford did knowingly and willfully devise, and intent to devise, a scheme to defraud and for obtaining money and property by means of material false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, and for the promise of executing such scheme, did cause, and attempt to cause, a wire communication to be transmitted in interstate commerce," the indictment states.

Earlier this year, Gaetz was adamant Alford was making false allegations of sexual misconduct against him in order to extort money from his successful and wealthy family. 

Back in March when news broke that the Department of Justice was investigating Gaetz for sexual misconduct, the congressman maintained he was being extorted.

Reporting Jewish sex abuser ‘is sin’, says Chareidie "Gadol"

 

Child abusers from a British religious community should not be reported to the police, one of its leaders has argued.

Paltiel Schwarcz, a leading rabbinical authority among ultra-Orthodox Jews, said informing statutory authorities in the UK of a suspected Jewish child sex offender was generally “a severe sin”.

His written opinion contradicts claims made by an ultra-Orthodox leader last year in evidence to the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse. The report on the inquiry’s investigation of child protection in religious organisations is due to be published tomorrow.

Schwarcz, 37, presents several instances in which it is forbidden to report child sexual abuse by a Jewish person to “gentile” authorities. They include when the abuser is married with children, because his family would be “destroyed”, and when the abuser can be treated with “medical methods” to “prevent him from carrying out such acts”.

Schwarcz, a judge in a Jewish religious court, said it was not permitted to report an abuser to police if the victim was a girl aged 12 or older or a boy aged 13 or older. A copy of his paper was submitted to the inquiry last week by Migdal Emunah, a charity that helps Jewish victims of sexual abuse. The inquiry said it had “arrived too late to be taken into account”.

Yehudis Goldsobel, the charity’s chief executive, said yesterday that reluctance to report cases of child abuse was a “day-to-day lived experience for Charedi [ultra-Orthodox] victims of sexual abuse”.

Britain’s ultra-Orthodox population, concentrated in Essex, Gateshead, London and Manchester, numbers about 70,000 — a minority among a Jewish population of 300,000. However, a fertility rate between six and seven children per woman led the Institute for Jewish Policy Research to forecast in 2018 that ultra-Orthodox Jews were “expected to constitute a majority of the British Jewish population long before the 21st century is over”.

The insularity of ultra-Orthodox Jews and their distrust of outsiders present a safeguarding risk. In 2013 an episode of Dispatches on Channel 4 showed undercover footage of Rabbi Ephraim Padwa, an ultra-Orthodox authority, telling an alleged child abuse victim that he should not speak to the police.

Padwa is the leader of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations. More than 100 synagogues are members of the union, and many other ultra-Orthodox organisations, including schools, are affiliated to it. In the footage he said it was mesirah to contact the police. Under Jewish religious law mesirah, or informing on a fellow Jew to statutory authorities, is banned. In evidence to the inquiry last year Rabbi Jehudah Baumgarten said mesirah was “not applicable where the person being reported was causing harm to others, such as in cases of child sexual abuse”.

Schwarcz is one of the union’s senior rabbis. His paper in April, seemingly sent in response to a request for advice on a specific case of suspected child abuse, is in stark contrast to Baumgarten’s evidence.

The former, from Stamford Hill in north London, sits as a judge (dayan) on the union’s religious court (beth din), heads two of its committees and was hailed by the union last month as a “great scholar”. His nine-page opinion, written in Hebrew, cites Jewish scholars from the 13th to the 20th centuries to support his argument that almost no circumstances exist in which it is permitted to report a Jewish child abuser to the police.

The union said the evidence given on its behalf to the inquiry last year “clearly and unambiguously presented the position of the union that mesirah does not apply where the person being reported is suspected of causing criminal harm to others, such as in the case of child abuse”.

A source close to the union had said Schwarcz was “entitled to his opinion”, but yesterday a spokesman claimed his paper was “merely an unaddressed, unsigned, incomplete” draft of an academic dissertation that he “sent for review and consultation regarding its standing in English law”.

Welcome Home! Gerer Father Who Murdered His Son In Psychotic Fit Is Released From Custody

 

Israel’s Attorney-General’s Office made a decision on Wednesday to suspend the criminal proceedings against the Chareidi father from Kiryat Gat who murdered his 14-year-old son in the course of a psychotic fit.

Deputy Attorney-General Adv. Amit Merri allowed the father to be released from custody on Wednesday evening without any restrictions.

Merri wrote that the decision was made “in light of the exceptional circumstances of the case, including the background of the execution of the offense, its tragic outcome and the personal circumstances of the defendant.”

After the shocking incident occurred in March, a police investigation found that the father was under the influence of illegal hallucinogenic drugs given to him by his therapist which caused him to enter a psychotic state.

He was hospitalized following the incident and was deemed unfit to stand trial even weeks afterward.

“The fact that the attorney-general decided to heed our request and in an unprecedented decision, order the termination of the legal proceedings against our client for murder, proves the validity of our claims from the beginning,” the father’s lawyers stated.

“The picture revealed in the case shows that the tragic murder was the direct result of of the father, a loving and normal family man, falling victim to a charlatan ‘therapist,’ who disgracefully exploited the weaknesses and distress of his patients and gave them – with unforgivable audacity and under the guise of medical treatment – hallucinogenic MDMA drugs – which according to the opinion of the district psychiatrist, led to a severe deterioration in the father’s mental state and a severe psychotic attack which led to the murder of his son.”

“Under these circumstances, it is clear that there is no reason to continue the legal proceedings against the father and instead everything possible must be done to prosecute the therapist for his responsibility for the murder of the child.”

The therapist has been indicted for criminal offenses, including export, import, trade, and supply of dangerous drugs.

Mother of Slain Marine SUSPENDED FROM FACEBOOK for Posts about her Son

 

A Gold Star mother of one of the fallen Marines killed in last week’s suicide bombing at the Kabul International Airport says that Facebook disabled her Instagram account after she posted about her deceased son. Her older posts questioning the results of the 2020 election appear to have been noticed by Instagram censors after her pictures of her son went viral.

Shana Chappell, mother of US Marine Kareem Nikoui, 20, posted on Facebook that Instagram began flagging her posts after she posted about her son on the Facebook owned platform.

“As soon as I posted about what happened to my son Instagram started pulling up my posts from months ago and sending me notifications that if I kept posting stuff like this that they would disable my account. Posts from months ago!”

Chappell’s post was highlighted in a recent New York Times article about the fallen soldiers before it was reportedly censored by Instagram.

“On Friday, Kareem Nikoui’s mother, Shana Chappell, posted a photo on her Instagram account of her son with a broad smile, cradling his rifle amid the crowds of civilians and razor wire at the gate of the airport in Kabul. ‘This is the last picture my son sent me of himself. It was taken on Sunday. I know I am still in shock right now. I felt my soul leave my body as I was screaming that it can’t be true! No mother, no parent should ever have to hear that their child is gone,’ she wrote in the post.”

Following backlash, the account appears to have been reactivated.

American-Israeli Suddenly Passes Away in Uman

 


A tragedy occurred on Tuesday morning in Uman when a 60-year-old Breslover chassid suddenly lost consciousness in his apartment and passed away.

Hatzalah paramedics who were called to the scene carried out resuscitation attempts but unfortunately, it was too late and they could do nothing but declare his death.

The niftar was later identified as Reb Tuvia Berkowitz, z’l, who was born in the US and was a resident of the Har Nof neighborhood of Yerushalayim. Reb Berkowitz had traveled to Uman together with his entire family over a month ago to ensure he could spend Rosh Hashanah by Rav Nachman’s kever.

About two weeks ago, Rav Berkowitz, z’l, felt unwell and was hospitalized in a local hospital and later released.

Askanaim are making arrangements to fly the niftar to Israel for burial


House-to-House Executions in Kabul

 

The Taliban are carrying out “house-to-house executions,” according to reports, as newly released audio provides a glimpse into the extremist militants’ rule over Afghanistan since the US withdrawal.

Obtained by Fox News, the audio features an Afghan man, who reportedly worked with Americans on the ground, talking about the gunfire surrounding him as he hid in an unknown location. 

“I think there’s a conflict between the Taliban, I have no idea where I’m located,” he reportedly said. “From everywhere I hear the sounds of shooting, gunfire. I have no idea how to leave.” 

Gunshots could be heard in the audio, which was allegedly recorded about the same time the last US plane left Afghanistan.

Several other reports of gunfire and fireworks emerged as the US troops completed the withdrawal Tuesday. 

Footage shows some armed Taliban fighters praying on the tarmac as others cheered.
