Was Berland Involved In Disappearance Of Teenager 30 Years Ago ?

Israeli Police are currently investigating suspicions that followers of Rabbi Eliezer Berland, the leader of the Shuvu Banim movement, were involved in the disappearance of a 17-year-old boy some 30 years ago.

The missing teenager in question was Nissim Shitrit, who disappeared in Jerusalem in 1986. Shitrit was a student in a Yeshiva in Ashdod and a few weeks before he disappeared, he complained to the police that he had been attacked by “Tzniayus Police”.

The police received information from Khan 11 reporter Shani Haziza, information that apparently links followers of Rabbi Berland’s to the mysterious disappearance. Police have begun to question numerous affiliates of Rabbi Berland’s with regards to the disappearance.

On Sunday, Rabbi Berland and his wife were arrested and taken into police custody on the suspicion of exploiting ill people and their families, as well as financial crimes such as money laundering, and tax evasion on funds whose sum is in the hundreds of millions of shekels.

During the arrest, which occurred at 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, students of Rabbi Berland threw rocks at police officers in an attempt to prevent the arrest. Two officers were injured.

According to his lawyer, neither Rabbi Berland nor his wife impeded the arrest in any way.

Rav-Kav Being Replaced by Apps, Bracelets

The Rav-Kav transportation card will be losing its relevance in April, as new applications will begin allowing public transportation users to pay with their phone instead. While the card will still work, the apps will most likely be worth the switch, according to The Marker.

The current system allows users to charge their Rav-Kav with either a stored value or a contract. The stored value is used like a debit card on buses and trains, with each trip withdrawing the price of a ticket from the stored value. Contracts come in a variety of forms and are based on time and area, with options for monthly, weekly and daily contracts covering trains and buses in cities, regions or the entire country.

The new system will monitor how users travel and will choose the cheapest option based on their travel at the end of each month. If, for example, a user travels multiple times between multiple cities throughout the month, the payment application will charge the user for a monthly contract in the region he traveled. If, however, the user only travels between two cities or with multiple types of transport on one day, the application will charge them for a day contract in that area.

Convicted Sex Fiend Berland arrested Again ...

Rabbi Eliezer Berland, a convicted sex offender and leader of the Shuvu Banim Breslov community, was arrested Sunday morning in a police raid on his home on suspicion of fraudulent receipt and tax offenses. His wife and senior members of the Shuvu Banim community were detained for questioning. 

Following a covert investigation, police forces raided the homes of six suspected offenders. 

The investigation focused on two main issues. The first was criminal - gathering evidence and testimony against the 18-20-year Jerusalem suspects who allegedly exploited hundreds of civilians and their families by demanding tens of thousands of shekels in exchanges for blessings of healing.

The second track was economic - investigators managed to uncover a variety of alleged money laundering offenses, including tax evasion with millions of shekels. The money was purportedly laundered using dozens of bank accounts.

Chareidie Who Raped His Own Sister Is Upset That He Was Arrested On Shabbos

This "holy" Jew is yelling and screaming to the Israeli Press that the cops could have waited until Motzeit Shabbos to arrest him ..

I think he is right ... what was the hurry since he had been raping his sister for years?

I guess he learned a new lesson... that the Mishtara... isn't going to ask a shaaleh from Rav Tuvia Weiss or Rav Sternbach ...whether they can arrest a serial rapist on Shabbos...

They arrest when it's least expected..!

Here they were right ... I hope he made Kiddush before and got some Schmaltz herring in because he won't be making kiddush for a very long time!

Trump Fires Vindman the Ukrainan Born Official Who Testified On Impeachment

Exacting swift punishment against those who crossed him, an emboldened President Donald Trump ousted two government officials who had delivered damaging testimony against him during his impeachment hearings. The president took retribution just two days after his acquittal by the Senate.

First came news Friday that Trump had ousted Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the Ukranian born soldier and national security aide who played a central role in the Democrats’ impeachment case.

Vindman’s lawyer said his client was escorted out of the White House complex Friday, told to leave in retaliation for “telling the truth.”

“The truth has cost Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman his job, his career, and his privacy,” attorney David Pressman said in a statement. Vindman’s twin brother, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, also was asked to leave his job as a White House lawyer on Friday, the Army said in a statement. Both men were reassigned to the Army.

Of course anyone who listened to his testimony came away with the feeling that Vindman was a little nothing in the White House basement who wanted to destroy his boss the President of the US.

Next came word that Gordon Sondland, Trump’s ambassador to the European Union, also was out.

“I was advised today that the President intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Sondland said in a statement.

New York Man Who Was Set to Testify Against MS-13 FOUND DEAD! Under NEW NY Law .. Criminals Get to Know Who Called Police

A New York man willing to testify against MS-13 members who attacked him in 2018 was found dead earlier this week after his identity was disclosed to defendants’ attorneys in pre-trial proceedings, police say.

The bludgeoned body of 36-year-old Wilmer Maldonado Rodriguez was found Sunday outside an abandoned home in New Cassel, the Nassau County Police Department announced Wednesday. Investigators said Rodriguez in October 2018 came to the defense of two boys who were being threatened by the gang — only to be beaten with a bat and stabbed, according to Newsday.

"This courageous man was prepared to testify against his alleged assailants at an upcoming trial, but he was brutally beaten to death before he could," Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement provided to the newspaper.

"This case underscores the importance of safeguarding the identities of witnesses and victims of crime and our hearts are with Mr. Maldonado’s family and friends as we grieve his loss.”

Singas says prosecutors tried to keep Rodriguez’s identity secret by obtaining a protective order in December 2018.

Trump proudly displays 'Acquitted' headlines, mere feet from Pelosi at prayer breakfast

President Trump proudly displayed two newspapers with blaring “Acquitted” headlines Thursday morning, waving them before a National Prayer Breakfast audience in his first appearance since he was declared not guilty in his Senate impeachment trial.

The president brandished the headlines mere feet from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., after both arrived at the breakfast.

Trump first picked up a USA Today newspaper and presented it before the audience. He then put it down and picked up a copy of Thursday’s Washington Post, which had a similar headline.

He later addressed the audience and took some not-so-subtle swipes at Pelosi once more.

"I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong, nor do I like people who say 'I pray for you' when you know that is not so," he said. Pelosi had publicly said during the impeachment process that she and fellow Democrats were "prayerful" and that she prays for the president.

Trump also called impeachment a "terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people."

For Trump, the moment was payback not only for impeachment but her conduct at the close of Tuesday's State of the Union address.

Scientists bewildered after monster galaxy ‘dies’ without warning

Guys... I posted this interesting article since I can't prove them wrong ....

but can anyone prove them right?

Also .... I'm amazed that they keep searching the universe looking for life ... spending billion of dollars hoping that they will find a similar earth environment that contains life ....

Looking for life yet they have no compunction of destroying and aborting life right here on this planet......

Burn bright; die young.

Scientists are left scratching their heads after a hugely productive galaxy went dark without warning, according to a new study.

The monstrous star system, known as XMM-2599, reportedly existed 12 billion years ago when the universe was a ripe young 1.8 billion years old, reports SciTech Daily. But researchers at the University Of California in Riverside are bewildered over how the “ultramassive galaxy” could suddenly die.

The study was published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

New York City renters no longer have to pay broker fees

Tenants will no longer be forced to pay a broker’s fee when renting an apartment in New York City, a report said Wednesday.

The ruling — which was made on Friday and went into effect Wednesday — came as a welcome reprieve for city residents who have been forced to plunk down broker costs in addition to a security deposit and first month’s rent, according to The Wall Street Journal.

New York is one of a few cities in the US where residents are charged a fee to rent an apartment. The move is the latest push in creating more favorable rules for tenants.

The apartment listing site StreetEasy said about 45 percent of New York City rental listings last year included a broker’s fee.

Renters may still, however, choose to hire a broker to help them rent an apartment and then pay a fee.

Landlord groups said the change would force them to raise rents on their apartments.

“You might have some owners who decide to just try to do it on their own,“ Andrew Barrocas, founder of the brokerage MNS, told the Journal.

“I’m leasing thousands of apartments a year and all of these landlords, if they thought they could do it better themselves, they would.”

Kirk right with the Tallit 

Kirk Douglas, the legendary actor who portrayed legions of tough guys and embraced his Jewish heritage later in life, died at his home in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. He was 103.

"It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103," Kirk's son, Michael Douglas, wrote in a statement shared to social media.

He continued: "To the world he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to.

"But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad, to Catherine, a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchild their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband," he added.

Michael concluded his post by writing: "Kirk's life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet.Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true. Dad- I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son."

The statement did not indicate exactly how or where he died.

TRIUMPHANT TRUMP ACQUITTED!

 

With the final gavel banging down Wednesday on impeachment, President Donald Trump barreled ahead in his reelection fight with a united Republican Party behind him, and emboldened by reassuring poll numbers and chaos in the Democratic race to replace

 him.

Republican senators voted largely in lockstep to acquit Trump, relying on a multitude of rationales for keeping him in office, his conduct wasn’t at all impeachable; his July telephone conversation with Ukraine’s president was a “perfect call”; there’s an election in 10 months and it’s up to voters to determine his fate.

For Trump, there was one overriding message to draw from his acquittal: Even at a time of maximum political peril, it’s his Republican Party.

One day after Trump avoided talk of impeachment in his State of the Union address and argued that he had delivered on his 2016 campaign promises, the president already was moving to use impeachment as a 2020 rallying cry.

Jewish Hebrew U prof calls for armed Palestinian militias against "settlers"

Amiram Goldblum, a self-hating Jew and a senior chemistry professor at Hebrew University, sparked controversy this week when he called on Palestinians to "establish armed militias to protect their villages and towns from the terror-settlers."

Facebook removed the post within hours for violating its guidelines, but Goldblum doubled-down on his statement in an interview with Israel's Channel 12.

"Settlers are terrorists by definition," he said. "The settlements are all terror settlements. 'Terror-settlers' is a term everyone uses today."

Trump predicts AOC will challenge Cry'in Schumer and 'kick his a--'

President Trump said Tuesday ahead of his State of the Union speech that he believes New York progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will challenge incumbent Sen. Chuck Schumer one day for his Senate seat representing New York.

“I think she will kick his a--,” the president said during a lunch with journalists to preview his speech.

Cortez, 30, a Democratic socialist who has endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, was elected to the House in 2018. But there has been speculation that she could launch a primary challenge against Schumer, 69, the Senate’s top Democrat when he is up for reelection in 2022.

For her part, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday afternoon that she will not attend the speech.

GALLOP: Trump Job Approval at Personal Best 49%.... Trumps Obama

 

President Donald Trump's job approval rating has risen to 49%, his highest in Gallup polling since he took office in 2017.

The new poll finds 50% of Americans disapproving of Trump, leaving just 1% expressing no opinion. The average percentage not having an opinion on Trump has been 5% throughout his presidency.

Trump's approval rating has risen because of higher ratings among both Republicans and independents. His 94% approval rating among Republicans is up six percentage points from early January and is three points higher than his previous best among his fellow partisans. The 42% approval rating among independents is up five points, and ties three other polls as his best among that group. Democratic approval is 7%, down slightly from 10%.

The 87-point gap between Republican and Democratic approval in the current poll is the largest Gallup has measured in any Gallup poll to date, surpassing the prior record, held by Trump and Barack Obama, by one point.

The Jan. 16-29 poll was conducted in the midst of the Senate impeachment trial that will likely result in the president's acquittal. The poll finds 52% of Americans in favor of acquitting Trump and 46% in favor of convicting and removing him from office.

The US Yisrael Beytenu Cuts Ties With Liberman Over His Anti- Chareidie Stance

The American partner of "Yisrael Beytenu" has decided to disengage from "World Yisrael Beytenu" following the Israeli party's blatant campaign in the last election on issues of religion and state, according to Tzvika Klein of Makor Rishon.

The American Forum for Israel, AFI, is made up mainly of Russian-speaking American Jews who have worked with Yisrael Beytenu in the past.

Among other things, the American representative of the Israeli party was outraged by MK Alex Kushnir's video against granting aid to religious women who keep Jewish family purity laws.

World Yisrael Beytenu confirmed that the two organizations had parted ways until further notice. AFI made no reference to their decision and merely stated in response "We are committed to Torah values. We proudly support Orthodox Jewish synagogues and communities throughout the United States."

EU are the Countries That Expelled & Murdered Jews ... won't recognize Israeli sovereignty over 'territories occupied since 1967'

 

The European Union (EU) will not support implementation of US President Donald Trump's "deal of the century" peace plan, EU High Representative and Vice-President Josep Borrell said in a Tuesday statement.

In the statement, Borrell said:

 "The European Union is fully committed to the transatlantic partnership and values all efforts to help find a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The EU recalls its commitment to a negotiated two-State solution, based on 1967 lines, with equivalent land swaps, as may be agreed between the parties, with the State of Israel and an independent, democratic, contiguous, sovereign and viable State of Palestine, living side by side in peace, security and mutual recognition – as set out in the Council Conclusions of July 2014."

"The US initiative, as presented on 28 January, departs from these internationally agreed parameters."

"Trump Will Sell Alaska To Russia If We Don’t Impeach Him" Schiff on the Senate Floor

Lead House Impeachment Manager Congressman Adam Schiff of California claimed during closing arguments in the Senate impeachment trial Monday that President Donald Trump will sell a U.S. state to the Russian government if not removed from office.

If “abuse of power” was not impeachable, Schiff argued, “then a whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond reach.”

“Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election, or decide to move to Mar-A-Lago permanently and leave Jared Kushner to run the country, delegating to him the decision whether they go to war.”

Schiff’s fearmongering of consequences conceived in pure fantasy come as the impeachment case against Trump officially collapsed on Friday after the Senate declined to hear new witnesses testify at the trial.

A vote on the president’s acquittal is now expected to come on Wednesday, exonerating the president of the three-and-a-half year impeachment effort launched by the Democrats even before Trump took office in 2017.
