Brendan O'Rourke is Kelley Elementary School Gunman: Brendan O'Rourke Has Security Guard License

Brendan O'Rourke has been named the gunman in the Carlsbad, California, Kelly Elementary School shootings. Today we know that O'Rourke holds a valid security guard's license, issued by the state of California. The license does not permit him to carry a gun. With 5 shots fired, two girls, ages 6 and 7 received grazing wounds to their arms. One of O'Rourke's neighbors said he "screams out things, like "I'm going to burn your eyes out."

Brendan O'Rourke

From CBS KFMB-TV, at least one of O'Rourke's neighbors has previously called the police due to his "erratic behavior."

Records show O'Rourke has previous addresses and relatives in Illinois. He currently lives in the Canyon Creek Apartments on Garrison St. in Oceanside, records show. Neighbors in the complex described O'Rourke as a loner with a temper. Resident Vickie Roe-Mitchell told News 8 she has called police on O'Rourke in the past for his erratic behavior.

"I'm not surprised.  I'm kind of scared of him," Roe-Mitchell said.  "He'd scream out things like, 'I'm going to burn your eyes out.  I'm going to kill you.'"

O'Rourke is 41 years old and reportedly has no prior felony record, although he has "several minor traffic violations in Illinois - assuming that does not have a record under a false name.

Terry Lynn was the O'Rourke jump the fence and fire.

"He was saying something about the president, he was ranting," Lynn said.

There seems to be no news about the presidential rantings.

A 6 year old student, Kenny Speck, said he heard classmates crying and say some of them "went over the fence." Kenny said he ran to Room 23 for safety. The school has about 450 students.

A neighbor and two construction workers helped apprehend the gunman. Reports are mixed. Some say the shooter jumped over a fence onto school grounds, and others say he was outside the fence, shooting in. One student said "I looked in his eyes and it was scary."

Construction worker Carlos Partida said he saw the suspect firing his gun at the children. He said the gunman appeared to be reloading and trying to leave the scene when he jumped in his truck and rammed the man, knocking him down.

“My reaction was to get him. Get him away from the kids,” he said. Partida said he and two other construction workers held the gunman down until police arrived.

Scott Chandler, a professional surfer, lives across the street from Kelly and helped apprehend O'Rourke:

"There was a lot of screaming and hard to tell who was screaming. I've heard different slurs he was saying from other neighbors but he was. At that time, put it this way, the construction workers I believe were all wearing steel-toed boots, and he took a pretty good beating. I looked at him eye to eye, what are you shooting at kids, what's your motive and what you are doing? He kind of grunted, didn't make any comments, just looking into his eyes, he had the crazy look in his eyes. He wasn't all there." 

Along with Carlos Partida and Scott Chandler, Steven Kane and Maro Contreras are hailed as heroes.

Police recovered a 5-gallon gas can and a propane tank in the suspect's car. The bomb squad was called. His pockets were "full of" cartridges, a flashlight and "other electronic devices. He was reported to be carrying a Jack-o-Lantern in one hand as he charged toward the children. O'Rourke gave Police three different names, one a female name. The weapon used was a .357 magnum and is in police custody.

I'm still looking for the mugshot. O'Rourke is held in a San Diego County jail in Vista, California under six counts of attempted murder and numerous weapons violations. Police say he is not cooperating and "probably has some mental health issues."

Congo Rape: 200 Women and Boys Raped by Forces for Liberation of Rwanda

A U.N. military camp is situated about 10 miles from the town of Luvungi in eastern Congo, where 200 women and several infant boys were raped, some repeatedly gang-raped, some taken deep into the forest, abused and left to die or crawl back home. Luvungi is a mineral rich mining town with gold, cassiterite and coltan, and every rebel in the Congo wants to control the riches.

FDLR Rebels - Congo

The small staff of about 25 U.N. "peacekeepers" knew the FDLR (Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda) and Congolese rebels were in Luvungi, but were outnumbered by the 200-400 attackers.  .
The attacks began on July 30th and continued until the rebels left of their own accord on August 4th.
A U.N. spokesman at the New York headquarters said he has verified 154 women were raped. International and local Congo health officials say they have treated 179 women but the numbers could soar as many are afraid to speak out and some women are still coming back into town from the forest.

Four young boys also were raped, said Dr. Kasimbo Charles Kacha, the district medical chief. Masudi said they were babies aged one month, six months, a year and 18 months.

"Many women said they were raped in their homes in front of their children and husbands, and many said they were raped repeatedly by three to six men," Cragin said. Others were dragged into the nearby forest.

Four young boys also were raped, said Dr. Kasimbo Charles Kacha, the district medical chief. Masudi said they were babies aged one month, six months, a year and 18 months.

Rape as a weapon of war has become shockingly commonplace in eastern Congo, where at least 8,300 rapes were reported last year, according to the United Nations. It is believed that many more rapes go unreported. 

Some reports claim that during the time of the attacks, some "Indian" peacekeepers provided a military escort for a commercial shipment, bringing charges that goods, but not civilians were protected. I'm not sure where the "Indian" peacekeepers come into the picture.

About a year ago, the U.K.'s Mirror accused two British firms, Amalgamated Metals and Afrimex, of "buying minerals" and funding armed thugs.

The Congolese government has demanded that the U.N. mission in Congo withdraw, saying it has failed in its mission. The force of 20,000 U.N. soldiers are the largest peacekeeping mission in the world, at a cost of $1.35 billion annually. The U.N. cites the 20,000 troops are far too few for the size of the mission where rebels regularly use civilians as shields. In May, the U.N. agreed to withdraw "up to 2,000 troops." So, does this mean the U.N. is occupying Congo?

Hamas Mass Wedding 450 Girls Ages Six to Nine Video

Nothing like a mosque in Manhattan full of thousands of Arab men who think marrying girls of six to nine years of age is just fine. This video shows a Hamas mass wedding, a long line of grown men holding a little girl's hand - she all dressed in white - no clue of her abhorrent future. The creepy imam explains that Muslims use Muhammad's marriage to Aisha as the example to follow. Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and had sex with her when she was nine years old. Thousands of Arab men will gather in the Grand Zero mosque and "community center." If you think these despicable behaviors do not follow the mosque-dwellers to the U.S., you are naive. If you think these men aren't ecstatic at the thought of sleeping with a nine year old, because the Prophet did it, you are dishonest. It's what civil people call pedophilia.

Roman Polanski Free: Roman Polanski Swiss Extradition to US Denied

In October 2009 I wrote "the Swiss get it" as they agreed to extradite Roman Polanski back to the U.S. to face charges of sodomy, rape and drugging a 13 year old girl in 1977. The extradition would come after the the U.S. provided requested paperwork, which eventually included records from a January 2010 hearing in Los Angeles.

Roman Polanski

Polanski's attorneys argued that in 1977 an L.A. judge ruled that Polanski's 42 days in a psychiatric unit in a California prison fulfilled the entire sentencing of the child rapist, who jumped bail and fled the country the night before sentencing. The original judge in the case, Laurence J. Rittenband, died in 1993. The January 2010 hearing was to examine the Judge's words and intentions. The U.S. refused to provide those sealed records, so Romanski, who has been living in a beautiful Swiss chalet under electronic monitoring, is now free.

Catholic Sex Abuse Hotline Meltdown in Germany - 4000 Call in

The media is officially calling this The Hour of the Children. The Catholic Church in Germany set up a sexual abuse hotline. Incoming calls numbering 4,459 caused a meltdown of the system on its first day of operation.  Here's what I do not understand: if a priest decides not to keep his celibacy vows, why victimize children? Why not find adults and have affairs? What kind of spirit is inside a man who would do this to a child (and I ask this of any denomination)?

"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." ~ Matthew 19:14

Catholic Sex Abuse Hotline - Pope Benedict XVI

An abuse hotline set up by the Catholic Church in Germany melted down on its first day of operation as more than 4,000 alleged victims of paedophile and violent priests called in to seek counselling and advice.

The numbers were far more than the handful of therapists assigned to deal with them could cope with 

In the end only 162 out of 4,459 callers were given advice before the system was shut down.

Andreas Zimmer, head of the project in the Bishopric of Trier, admitted that he wasn't prepared for "that kind of an onslaught'.

Earlier this week it was alleged that an ally of the Pope, Bishop Mixa, beat children - a charge he has subsequently denied.

Former girls and boys testified that he beat them with fists and a carpet beater which screaming; 'The devil is in you and I will drive him out!'

No surprise that parishioners are leaving the church in "droves" in Germany. One-quarter of Catholics in Germany say they have lost faith in church leadership:

The Rev. Lawrence Murphy spent years molesting children at a school for the deaf in Wisconsin, but when the case came to the attention of the Vatican many years later, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, then led by Cardinal Ratzinger before he became pope, declined to take action.

Frank M. Lombard Sentenced: Duke Child Predator Frank Lombard Sentenced

Finally some news about one of the most despicable child sexual predators in history. Frank M. Lombard, the Duke University employee who adopted a child, drugged him, sodomized him, and performed other lewd and lascivious acts on camera for the benefit of another pedophile in prison, has been sentenced to 27 years and 3 months in prison. Lombard's sentence came from one charge of producing child pornography.

Frank M. Lombard - Pedophile Adoptive Father

Lombard, and his partner Ken Shipp, also a Duke University employee, adopted two black boys - or perhaps Lombard was the only adopter. The youngest son, who was 5 years old at the time Lombard was caught, was repeatedly abused by his father. After the crime was reported, everything...all information about Lombard was shutdown, and a thinking person just couldn't help but think the silence was because this was about gay adoption.

This report says that the sentence is for "producing child pornography." What about child endangerment, what about rape, what about assault, what about dereliction of parental obligation, what about drugging a child, time after time, and what about offering his son for sex to another man. I cannot understand only the one charge. I assume there was a plea deal, but justice was not done for this little boy.

Lombard was arrested in June 2009 after an FBI sting. He pleaded guilty in December. A news report says Lombard "was charged to a federal child sex charge." He was also sentenced to lifetime supervision after leaving prison. Wonderful. We know how well "supervision" works - not well usually. These predators end up wherever they want to be. Parole officers don't have a clue. John Couey, the kidnapper, raper and murderer of little Jessica Lunsford shows the folly of thinking these beasts can live among decent people.

In recommending the sentence, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen, Jr. wrote, "The defendant betrayed the trust of his adopted child in the most deplorable way imaginable. His child became nothing more than a pawn in his persistent attempts to gratify himself by sexually molesting him and chatting online with as many other pedophiles as possible.

Frank M. Lombard served as an associate director of the center for Health Policy at Duke. The university terminated his employment. According to early reports, his partner Ken Shipp did not know about the rapes, the drugging, the molestations, or the child pornography in his own home.

Motive in IG Walpin Firing? Larry Brown Curries Favor with Obama? Michelle Rhee Covers for Kevin Johnson?

Inspector General Gerald Walpin was fired by the White House for exposing the misuse of federal funds by AmeriCorps and former NBA star Kevin Johnson, currently the mayor of Sacramento, California. Today we learn one possible motive for instigating Walpin's removal.

Kevin Johnson and Michelle Rhee

The story has all the eye-popping details of a sensational National Enquirer story. Think John Edwards and his love child. The Walpin story has prestige: An honorable Inspector General doing his job spectacularly well. An acting U.S. Attorney, Larry Brown, looking for a presidential appointment, a famed NBA star, Kevin Johnson, just elected Mayor of Sacramento, California. Johnson's charity, St. HOPE Academy, AmeriCorps volunteers, $75 million in tainted federal funds, and the future chancellor of Washington, D.C. schools and St. HOPE Chairman of the Board, Michelle Rhee. Johnson and Rhee would soon be engaged. Then there are the three young school age girls who accused Kevin Johnson of inappropriate sexual behavior,  and the appearance, at least, that Michelle Rhee knew of the misused funds and the claims of the young girls.

Inspector General Gerald Walpin found that Kevin Johnson and AmeriCorps had spent $75 million in federal funds in inappropriate ways. Walpin's report to Congress also detailed the accusations of the three young women. Much has happened since the schizey hit the fan. Walpin has been cleared of all  the ethics charges that U.S. Attorney General Lawrence Brown tired to instigate,  including "overstepped authority." Walpin wants his job back and has sued.

Keep this in mind as the new part of this story evolves. Kevin Johnson and Barack Obama are tight. It is believed that Michelle O is tight with Michelle Rhee, the chancellor of Washington, D.C. schools. Michelle Rhee and Kevin Johnson are now engaged. Before the engagement, Rhee sat on the board of St. HOPE. A Washington, D.C. education blogger poses some problems and asks some questions:

...holding several, conflicting positions for one organization – Ms. Rhee’s titles at the St. Hope Charter Academy boggle the mind. 

Were all the positions paid positions? How did she perform the duties of board member and Chief Operating Officer at the same time? 

As president, Chief Operating Officer and Board Member at the same time? as President, COO, board member and a consultant for St. Hope on three projects, at the same time? 

Why, when  Rhee was apprised by St. Hope employee Jacqueline Wong-Hernandez about sexual misconduct allegations against Kevin Johnson by 3 Americorps teenage volunteers, did she not contact California State authorities she was obligated to do under California law?

As COO and President, not to mention those consulting positions, was Ms. Rhee aware of the misuse of Americorps funds and volunteers as outlined in the Investigative General’s report of August 2008?  

As one of the top three office holders of St. Hope it seems that either Ms. Rhee was aware and therefore particpated or that she was not aware and she was negligent in her duties or these positions were merely window dressing for her resume and padding for her bank account.

So Walpin's report was in. Kevin Johnson was soon to be sworn as Sacramento mayor and...there was a big problem. Johnson and his charity were under suspension from federal funds. This meant, as mayor, Johnson disqualified Sacramento from receiving a single penny from taxpayers.

So here is where it really gets interesting. Enter acting U.S. Attorney General Lawrence Brown. Brown wanted President Obama to appoint him as permanent Attorney General.  Brown stepped in, made a civil deal with Kevin Johnson to repay some of the funds - money that Walpin showed neither Johnson or his charity had available, that agreement lifted the ban on Sacramento's federal funding and Brown used his official letterhead to get Walpin investigated by the 'Integrity and Ethics" Counsel of Inspectors General.

Michelle Rhee didn't give up on Kevin - a few charges of inappropriate behavior with young woman? Not really important. She paid a visit to Gerald Walpin to plead Johnson's case, but Walpin's report remained unchanged.

From a Department of Justice document:

Acting United States Attorney Lawrence G. Brown announced today that St. HOPE Academy has agreed to pay $423,836.50 to settle allegations that St. HOPE did not appropriately spend AmeriCorps grant awards and education awards...The amount of the civil settlement represents one-half of the $847,673 in AmeriCorps grant funds received by St. HOPE Academy. 

“The agreement reached strikes a proper balance between accountability and finality. St. HOPE Academy must pay a significant amount for its improper handling of AmeriCorps funds. [Don't you love this one?]

St. HOPE will make an initial payment of $73,836.50 by electronic transfer within five business days from today;

Kevin Johnson will pay $72,836.50 of the initial payment by St. HOPE, with possible repayment to Johnson by St. HOPE when it is financially able to do so;

Dana Gonzalez will pay $1,000.00 of the initial payment by St. HOPE.

Johnson and Gonzalez shall each register to take an online course offered by Management Concepts titled “Cost Principles”;

For a quick read of the charges of sexual impropriety, read "G" here, or find more linked below.

Save a president's friend from public shame and you just might get a presidential appointment. 

The Washington Examiner published information today on Larry's Brown's ambitions for the presidential appointment to the U.S. Attorney's office:

In a January 5, 2009 letter to Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Brown's home-state senator and a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Brown wrote, "I write to express my interest in appointment as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California" -- a presidentially-appointed position. In the letter, Brown took care to highlight his Democratic credentials.

"As this is a political appointment," Brown wrote: I will note that for the past two years, I have been registered as Decline to State. From 1988-2007, I was a registered Democrat and from 1982-1988, a Republican. As may be evident, I am not a rigid ideologue and discovered that I simply did not fit neatly within either party. I chose to ultimately become an independent because I felt that in my line of work, namely the administration of justice, neither party has a monopoly and its handiwork must be performed in non-partisan fashion. I count myself in the ranks of those who have grown weary of the overly-simplistic "red state/blue state" debates over complex issues and enthusiastically embrace President-elect Obama's call to abandon such labels and become the united states [sic] of America.

When Obama's White House counsel, Gregory Craig, fired Walpin, he used Brown's accusatory letter. There were also accusations of something like disorientation and maybe senility by the White House, which has since been shown to be unfounded.

Senator Charles Grassley has been on point on behalf of IG Walpin since the time of his firing, and Democrats have joined in as well. Grassley wanted Obama to follow proper procedure for firing an inspector general. The only procedure used was that the president said he had lost confidence in Walpin. That's not the way an IG should lose his/her job.

There is so much more to this story. It is full of corruption from the office of AmeriCorp right up to the White House. Johnson was accused of using AmeriCorps volunteers to drive him around, do personal errands...wash his car, etc. St. HOPE emails were intentionally deleted. If our political persuasion is Liberal, we can hush it by repaying in some way. 

In the end, Brown did not get his appointment, and he now sits on the Sacramento Superior Court. Kevin Johnson leads a magical life, one charity and several young girls left in the wake he makes, as he jets back and forth to see Rhee in Washington, D.C. An Inspector General who dared expose graft and corruption, especially with one of Obama's fondest volunteer organizations, AmeriCorps, is now out of the way. In the link second from the bottom below, you'll read how the White House directed another Inspector General to shred documents pertinent to Gerald Walpin's defense. Is this the White House you want? I didn't think so.

I have a lot of background reporting on this story. Links follow.

Acorn Brooklyn Cleared in Pimp Prostitute Undercover Tapes

A five-month investigation into a tape showing Brooklyn's ACORN office giving advice to a pimp and a prostitute has been cleared of any wrong doing. The tape shows ACORN employees providing information on how to smuggle 13-year-old foreign girls into the country, put them in a house of prostitution and avoid paying taxes on profits. See videos below.

 Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe

The prosecutor, Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes, is a member of SEIU's Working Families Party and is closely tied to ACORN. Apparently, the investigation ended because the prosecution said the two people posing as the pimp and prostitute, Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe, edited their video - rendering it "unclear" what the ACORN workers said or did not say.

I'd like to see the unedited version, and I bet you would too. I'd also like to hear just where the stories don't quit gel. Do you think we'll hear where there was insufficient clarity was apparent.

Founding Bloggers makes the point that Hynes is a member of the Working Families Party, by virtue of a pledge he signed, and an endorsement he received. "You have to seek the endorsement and make a commitment to the party."

The whole thing stinks on ice.

In the Giles and O'Keefe undercover tape in a San Diego ACORN office, ACORN spokesman, David Lagstein allegedly told members of the East County Democrat Club that Attorney General Jerry Brown plans to find fault with the videographers (Giles and O'Keefe). Follow the link and hear the audio.

BigGovernment says California governer Jerry Brown will have a tough time going after Giles and O'Keefe for illegally taping the ACORN employees, as his aides "secretly recorded phone conversations with at least 5 reporters.

Let's hear what is "unclear" in the Brooklyn tapes. Watch the videos below and let me know if you think they could have been edited to show a result that clearly was not a part of the tapes. Also, see links to other videos of other ACORN offices around the country.

Earl Bradley is Pediatric Pedophile? Pediatrician Earl Bradley is a rapist?

Warning: this is a vile story. Dr. Earl Bradley is a Delaware pediatrician charged with pedophilia.  He has been indicted by a grand jury and charged with multiple acts of child rape and abuse - in what may be the worst case of pedophilia in U.S. history.

 Earl Bradley

Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, the son of Vice President Joe Biden, says he expects more victims to come forward. Bradley, 46, is facing 471 separate counts of sexual assault and molestation. Over a ten year period, Bradley is believed to have raped and sexually exploited 102 girls and one boy since 1998 at the office of BayBees Pediatric in Lewes, Delaware, a community of 1300 persons.

The charges include first-degree and second-degree rape, unlawful sexual contact, sexual exploitation of a child and continuing sexual abuse of a child.

The indictment cites videos Bradley made of the various abusive incidents, which were seized from his office after investigators began looking into reports of child abuse last year.

Bradley allegedly videotaped sex acts while parents waiting in a separate room.

Among the 471-count indictment includes allegations that Bradley forced children to perform sex acts on him as recently as Dec. 13.

Some of the children were allegedly molested continuously over a series of days or months. One victim was allegedly raped by Bradley from June 2007 until February 2009, and another was molested "continuously" between November 2008 until November 2009.

 Biden said that some of the alleged victims were just months old.

The abuse of a 2-year-old girl started the investigation.

According to court documents obtained by ABCNews.com, the investigation was spurred after a 2-year-old girl told her mother that Bradley had touched her genitals and "hurt her" during a Dec. 7 appointment.

According to the child's mother, who is not named in the court documents, Bradley first examined the toddler in her presence, but then "removed the victim to the basement of the office, where a toy room is located."

The mother told authorities that she permitted her daughter to be alone with Bradley "because of his position as a doctor" and because she "trusted him."

But on the way home from the doctor the mother alleges that her daughter said Bradley had sexually abused her while they were alone in the basement. The girl's father, who had taken to her to a previous appointment with Bradley, also told authorities his daughter had made a similar complaint to him in November.

 In the small town of Lewes, with a citizenry of only 1,300, a videotape shows this 6 foot, 225-pound man yell, violently, at a two-year old, demanding the child to "perform sexual acts on him."

That particular video was described by the investigating officer in court documents as "one of the most violent and brutal attacks on a child of any age" that he had ever seen.

Biden's office is dealing with questions  as to why complaints dating from 2005 against Bradley were not taken to the State Board of Medical Practice.  An investigation is ongoing.

Earl Bradley is being held in the Vaughn Correctional Center on $2.9 million cash bond.

Julia Lira is 7 year old Brazilian Samba Queen Video

Unless the judge blocks the choice of a 7-year-old Samba Queen, Julia Lira will represent her father's Viradouro Samba School drum section, as drum corps queen. Citizens are outraged at the choice of a 7-year old, in a country with a long history of child exploitation. See a video below. See update below.

 

Julia Lira

Strappy high heels, and just a few sequins, feathers and jewels, usually adorn the traditionally sultry and beautiful Carnival queen. Julia would compete with 11 other women from different Samba schools.

Viradouro, which won the title in 1997, is no stranger to controversy. In 2008, a judge blocked the group's use of a dancer dressed as Hitler on a float loaded with naked people representing Holocaust victims after the display caused an international outcry.

Update 2-11-10:

A family court has judged that Julia may be the drum corps queen for her father's dance group. She will perform on television early Monday morning (Rio time).

The Rio state agency for child protection confirmed the ruling and said it would appeal to the Justice Ministry. Calls to Judge Ivone Caetano, who decided the case, were not immediately returned.

American Girl, 11, Gives Birth: Who is the Father, Why Isn't He in Jail?

An American girl, just 11-years-old has given birth to a baby boy in a "northeastern" hospital. In the article,  who impregnated her is not mentioned, or how she gave birth, but as I look at lists of very young mothers, most are by caesarean section. The remains unidentified.

 

11-Year-Old Gives Birth

The girl's mother issued this statement:

My daughter and baby are fine, and the baby is absolutely beautiful," stated the girl’s mother.

If we utilized firing squads, the following would cease to happen:

The youngest mother is believed to be only 5 years old in Peru, in 1939. Her father was arrested on suspicion of rape but was released due to lack of evidence. I wonder if DNA, today would solve this case. Yes, it would.

The youngest American girls to gives birth is believed to a 10 year old Kentuckian who gave birth to a 7.75 pound baby girl in 1834, and in 1979 a 10 year old gave birth to twins in Indianapolis. She is believed to be the youngest mother of twins.

In 2006 a 10 year old girl in South Carolina gave birth after being raped. She was molested for two years by a 26 year old man.

In 2008 a 10 year old from Idaho gave birth to a 6 pound baby. She was raped and a 37 years old man was imprisoned.

In 2002 an 11 year old Connecticut girl was raped by a 75 year old man. She gave birth to his child. The creep, of Bridgeport, CT was arrested. The child met the rapist in an Adopt-a-Godfather" program. He had a prior sexual assault conviction. No word on what happened to him.

In 2007 an 11-year-old-girl gave birth after being raped by her mother's boyfriend.

Scott Ritter 15 Year Old Girl: Ritter Masturbates on Camera?: UN Weapons Inspector Ritter Child Sex Sting

An undercover child sex sting allegedly caught Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector, and columnist for al-Jazeera, conversing in an Internet chat room, and masturbating on camera for someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl.

This report says Ritter was also charged in June 2001 in a NY sex sting but the case was dismissed. That case involved child endangerment and attempting to meet a 16-year-old girl at a restaurant. The New York post reported that there was yet another incident in April 2001 involving a 14-year-old but charges were not filed. Nothing but a child predator here if these charges are true. Think of those who never received justice for the crimes of Scott Ritter.

Ritter, 48, lives in Delmar, NY. He was a UN weapons inspector in Iraq until he quit under protest of the lack of U.N. action when Saddam Hussein threw the weapons inspectors out of the country. Ritter claimed Iraq had obstructed the UN work, and hid the necessary documentation and equipment to restart the program.  He was outraged that the CIA may have tried to infiltrate the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM), under which he worked, and use inspectors to gather intelligence.

Ritter outraged Americans when he joined al-Jazeera as a columnist, praised the Iraqi resistance, and suggested the only way out for America was to fail. As of December 2009 he was still writing for al-Jazeera, and in fact titled his article about Afghanistan, Our Murderers in the Sky.

This from FOXNews on February 15, 2005:

According to Mr. Ritter, “The highly vaunted U.S. military machine, laurelled and praised for its historic march on Baghdad (search) in March and April of 2003, today finds itself a broken force, on the defensive in a land that it may occupy in part, but does not control.”

Offering no proof whatsoever, Mr. Ritter accuses the U.S. of conspiring with Iraqi assassination squads (search), and that, not foreign terrorists or former Saddam officials, is what started the post-war violence in Iraq: “Having started the game of politically motivated assassination, the U.S. has once again found itself trumped by forces inside Iraq it does not understand, and as such will never be able to defeat.”

As for the enemy, which he calls a “genuine grassroots national liberation movement,” Ritter is generous: “History will eventually depict as legitimate the efforts of the Iraqi resistance to destabilise and defeat the American occupation forces and their imposed Iraqi collaborationist government.”

At that time, BlackFive wrote "he's a lying disgrace and his column could incite violence against Americans.

So this al-Jazeera columnist, Ritter, reportedly used the web I.D. "delmarm4fun," and at least the first contact with the girl (cop) was in February 2009. The policeman told Ritter he was a 14 year old girl from the Poconos in Pennsylvania. He asked for a photo of the girl, known as "Emily."

Ritter then sent a link to his Web camera and began to masturbate while it was focused on his genitals, according to the affidavit. The former U.N. official then allegedly provided his cell phone number.

"He then continued to masturbate on web cam and he again asked how old I was," the affidavit continued. "He was advised again that I was 15 years old. He said he didn't realize that I was 15 years old and turned off his web camera. He stated that he didn't want to get in trouble."

Ritter then allegedly told the "girl" that he fantasized about having sex with her, to which the officer replied, "guess u turned it off [no problem]."

Ritter then asked the girl if she "want[ed] to see it finish" before reactivating his Web camera and ejaculating, the affidavit read.

Assuming Scott Ritter spends a good, longtime behind bars for attempting to corrupt, perhaps rape, at least molest a minor, it couldn't happen to a more deserving UN worker, former employee or not. The culture of corruption within the U.N. is flagrant, and after raping, abusing and torturing children in vulnerable countries, while getting paid to be a peacekeeper, losing a job is usually the only punishment. Let's hope Ritter's outcome keeps him away from children for a very long time.

Frank M. Lombard Plea Deal? Media Remains Silent on Frank Lombard:

Frank M. Lombard, the Duke University pedophile father of two adoptive black sons has apparently accepted "guilt" for his crime and a plea agreement will be announced on December 17th.

Frank M. Lombard

 According to the Herald Sun, an "information" was filed on December 1st in Washington D.C.:

The filing of an information, since it implies the defendant's acceptance of guilt, typically means that a plea agreement is imminent. The one-page information that Lombard will acknowledge today states that he forced a minor to "engage in sexually explicit conduct ... for the purpose of transmitting a live visual depiction of such conduct."

The sentence for sexual exploitation of a minor is generally around 15 years....

According to the original arrest warrant, Lombard allegedly told an undercover police officer that he had sexually molested the child himself multiple times.

 It is unbelievable to me that Lombard will spend only 15 years behind bars for the terrible things he did to his own boy. The adopted child that Lombard admittedly molested was just 5-years-old at the time of Lombard's arrest. We do not know how long the child endured this horrible environment in his own home, with another adoptive father and Duke University employee, Kenneth Shipp, who says he knew nothing at all about Lombard's rape of their own child.

The FBI's sting reports said that Lombard told a prison inmate that he drugged the boy with benedryl to keep him quiet and that his crime was much easier when the boy was not old enough to talk.

Until now, the media has been repugnantly silent about Lombard.  I have a lot of material about Lombard, his neighborhood, the neighborhood developer and what life might have been like for this little boy. As far as I know, no one is reporting that these children might be safe now, receiving the mericiful counseling they deserve to help them get on with their lives.

If you are not familiar with the Frank M. Lombard case, links to all the background are below, including FBI reports and the words of the prison inmate to watched, live, Lombard rape his own child. Do you think 15 years is justice for these children?

Roman Polanski Denied Bail: Polanski High Flight Risk - The Swiss Get it!

Roman Polanski has been denied bail from his Swiss prison. The Swiss get it! The man is wanted for rape, sodomy and drugging the 13-year-old girl. What's not to get? See update 10-23-09  11-26-09 below - Polanski gets bail.

Roman Polanski

This report say Polanski is seen as a "high risk of flight." No kidding. This man who has admitted to having sex with a 13-year-old has been on the run for 31 years, and protected in France where he has lived freely with his wife and children.

He [Folco Galli - Swiss justice ministry spokesman] said the risk was too great for the government to accept bail or other security measures in exchange for the release of the filmmaker.

His [Polanski's] legal representatives are also asking Switzerland's highest criminal court to free Polanski. Mr Galli said the justice ministry has submitted a letter to the tribunal explaining why it opposes release even on bail.

Two former Zurich prosecutors have said Polanski stands a minimal chance of an immediate release.

Update 10-23-09:
The U.S. has filed a formal request for Polanski's extradition from Switzerland to the U.S. and the Swiss have acknowledged receipt.

If extradition is considered admissible, Mr. Polanski will have the option of appealing the decision before the Federal Criminal Court and the Federal Supreme Court as the court of last instance.

A Swiss court earlier this week rejected Mr. Polanski's appeal to be released on house arrest, raising the likelihood that he would remain in jail pending legal proceedings over his possible extradition.

Update 11-26-09:

Roman Polanski was granted bail in the Swiss courts after a $4.49 million bail deposit, full surrender of his passport and travel documents to the Zurich police, and the donning of an electronic ankle bracelet. Polanski will spend his time guessing whether or not the Swiss will send him packing back to the U.S. to receive his punishment for the assault on Samantha Geimer, all cozied up in a Swiss chalet known as the "Milky Way." He will be confined to house arrest inside the luxury $1.6 million Alpine abode:

Even without stepping outside, Polanski's life will improve from the small detention cell he had in Zurich with a sink, toilet, television and storage compartment.

Gstaad (pronounced guh-SHTAHD) offers a range of quality restaurants and hotels, and "people here can order food to their chalets any time," said Marlene Mueller of the local tourism agency.

From the gourmet shop Pernet Comestibles, fine food such as fresh oysters, Swiss cheeses and a range of whiskies and wine can be delivered.
And, even though Polanski may now be the world's most famous fugitive, most locals are likely to leave him alone.

This is one time Rose O'Donnell gets it right. She says she doesn't understand the "stars" speaking out on behalf of Roman Polasnki. Penelope Cruz, however, the Spanish actress is "demanding" Polanski's release. Penelope Cruz...a citizen of Spain...not the U.S. See update 10-23-09  11-26-09 below - Polanski gets bail. Update 1-23-10: Polanski ordered to US to face charges.

Penelope Cruz - Woody Allen

The petition Cruz signed, along with raving liberal Woody Allen, who married his own child, says "We demand the immediate release of Roman Polanski." The petition also reminds us that Roman Polanski is a citizen of France - and, if extradited to the U.S., Polanski will have his "freedom take[n] away.

Well, yes... Hollywood - get over yourself. There are just a few of you out there - no capitalists, of course. Just the non-capitalist elitest few who think the law is an annoyance and the rest of us are plebes. You know nothing. See the "signatories" of the petition here.

Not many recognizable names on this one, however ABC Distribution stands out. Here's another petition bearing the names of Mike Nichols, Steven Soderbergh, Salman Rushdie and Diane von Furstenberg.

The victim's wishes are really not the point. For every 13-year old girl that is molested and the molester escapes justice, another will sooner or later be abused. It doesn't take much to encourage those who would consider, even for one minute, touching a minor. Remember that Samantha Geimer, the victim, "outed" herself:

She long ago came forward and made her identity public -- mainly, she said, because she was disturbed by how the criminal case had been handled.

On behalf of all past victims of pedophilia, and those who will be victims in the future, I hope Switzerland has the determination to do what it should do.

John Couey Dies: Jessica Lunsford Killer Dies: Jessica Marie Lunsford Murderer John Couey Dead

One of the most despicable killers of all time died in prison today. John Couey, who murdered little Jessica Lunsford, met is maker in a Jacksonville, Florida hospital.

John Evander Couey

Three child murders are always fresh in my mind: The Girl Scout murders, killing three in Oklahoma in 1977, the murder of Adam Walsh, the son of John Walsh, the host of America's Most Wanted, and his then-wife Reve, in 1981, and Jessica Lunsford's death at the hands John Couey in 2005. Couey died of natural causes - cancer, and had been in hospital for treatment since August 12th.

In contrast, Jessica was kidnapped from her bedroom by Couey on February 24, 2005. She was taken across the street to a filthy mobile home, in the midst of filthy people. Couey raped her, further tortured her, and buried her alive with her stuffed purple dolphin. John Evander Couey was 46 when he took Jessica. He had a long, long rap sheet, including: indecent exposure, carrying a concealed weapon, burglary, larceny and "fondling a child." He was a registered sex offender. When Couey was arrested he was an emaciated druggie weighing just 125 pounds.

By the time the trial was over, Couey was well-porked in jail. I don't know what he weighed at that time, but it was obvious he was eating well. Jessie Lunsford was dead, and buried a second time. As the search for Jessica continued, Couey's step-sister bought him a bus ticket out-of-town. An Augusta, Georgia Salvation Army was hosting him as the mourning for Jessica began even before her body was found.

It was also the Salvation Army who recognized him and called authorities. Couey confessed to the murder during an FBI polygraph. He said he kept Jessica alive for 3 days in a closet in the trailer. He told them he buried the little girl alive in a grave on the property. He put her in plastic garbage bags, which she managed to poke her fingers through before she died. Reports say she suffocated and died with 3 to 5 minutes. Pathologists believe she was sexually assaulted within 6 hours of dying. This man had starved her before she died. Her body was found on March 19th, 25 days after she was kidnapped.

Couey was sentenced to death and has been clothed and fed by taxpayers at the Union Correctional Institution in Raiford, Florida.

Jessica's father, Mark Lunsford, was at times thought to be guilty of his daughter's disappearance - there was chat and whispers. He stoically persevered. In the end, Mr. Lunsford became a voice for his daughter in death, and a fierce advocate for child victims of sexual predators. "Jessica's Law" has been passed by approximately 26 states.

See a map of those states which have passed the Jessica Lunsford Act, and which states have not. The Act was introduced in Congress, but of course, has not been enacted into law. The site linked above says that Mark Lunsford now has a baby boy, born on what would have been Jessic's 12th birthday. Mr. Lunsford says his son's birth is a miracle.

Samantha Geimer was Roman Polanski Rape Victim: Roman Polanski Swiss Arrest

In the same week Roman Polanski's former wife's murderer died, the Swiss stepped-up and executed an arrest warrant for the famous film director. Thirty one years ago, Polaski fled the U.S. on charges of having sex with a 13-year-old girl, Samantha Geimer. He entered Zurich, Switzerland yesterday to receive an honorary award and was taken into custody. See update 11-26-09 below - Polanski gets bail. See 1-23-10 update below. See 7-12-10 Update - Polanski a free man.

Roman Polanski

It strikes me that today, 31 years later, raping a 13-year-old is just as abhorrent now as it was then. That is good news.

Polanski pleaded guilty in 1977 to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. The Swiss are saying Polanski, 76, will eventually be extradited to the U.S., although his attorneys say they will attempt to "life the arrest warrant in Zurich...."

He has lived in exile in France since leaving the U.S. and according to reports, the French Culture Minister is "dumbfounded" by Polanski's plight, and he "profoundly regrets" that Polanski is "inflicted" with this ordeal - which is a jail cell in Zurich. The Swiss Director's Association is livid. According to his 13-year-old victim, Samantha Geimer, she was being photographed by Polanski at the home of Jack Nicholson, who was out of town at the time. She alleged that she was given Champagne and part of a Quaalude pill and then was raped and sodomized. This was back in the days when Nicholson was dating Angelica Huston, who is said to have been in the house when Polanski raped Geimer.

Nicholson was not at home, but his girlfriend at the time, actress Anjelica Huston, was.

According to a probation report contained in the filing, Huston described the victim as "sullen."

"She appeared to be one of those kind of little chicks between -- could be any age up to 25. She did not look like a 13-year-old scared little thing," Huston said.
She added that Polanski did not strike her as the type of man who would force himself on a young girl.

"I don't think he's a bad man," she said in the report. "I think he's an unhappy man."

Samantha Geimer

See a photo of Geimer at the age of 13 here. Ms. Geimer is 45-years-old today. The photo above is Geimer attending the HBO premier of a documentary about the crime against her, Wanted and Desired.

Earlier this year, Geimer asked that the charge against Polanski be dismissed because the "lurid details" of her attack, continually being discussed, created trauma in her life. She is married now, has three children and lives in Kilauea, Hawaii. Geimer says she "has become a victim of the actions of the district attorney."

I'm not sure how it is helpful to attend a premier about your own rape unless you are on the side of promoting your rapist's arrest and incarceration. At the time of Polanski's first arrest, he said Geimer was sexually experienced and consented to the sex. He entered a guilty plea and was plead down from 6 counts of rape, and the possibility of life in prison. His attorneys believed a deal had been struck for Polanski to spend only days in prison:

But the original judge in the case, who is now dead, first sent the director to maximum-security prison for 42 days while he underwent psychological testing. Then, on the eve of his sentencing, the judge told attorneys he was inclined to send Polanski back to prison for another 48 days.

I think authorities got this one right. The rape of any 13-year-old cannot go unpunished, and living in France is not punishment. Spending a total of 90 days in prison for this offense is a sad commentary on the court's view of rape. Polanski has been offered the possibility of a dismissal but is required to show-up at court in the U.S. to receive it, and fearing arrest, he has not been willing to do so. In the case of rape of a minor, the name should never be disclosed. Had Samantha Geimer's name been kept private, she would not be suffering from media attention today. Having said that, Geimer has received a "settlement" from Polanski and it appears she "outed" herself:

She long ago came forward and made her identity public -- mainly, she said, because she was disturbed by how the criminal case had been handled.

Roman Polanski married Emmanuelle Seigner in 1989. They have two children: a daughter Morgane and a son, Elvis. Polanski was born in Paris, France. His father was a Polish Jew and his mother a Russian native who was brought up Catholic. Polanski's maternal grandmother was Catholic and his maternal grandfather was Jewish.

Polanski received an Oscar in 2002 for Directing - one of my favorite movies, The Pianist. Other movies he directed are Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, Oliver Twist and Tess.

Roman Polanski - Sharon Tate

Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered in 1969 by Susan Denice Atkins, a member of the Manson Family. Their unborn child died also. Atkins remained incarcerated at the time of her death this week of brain cancer. Atkins was the longest-incarcerated female in the California prison system.

Update 11-26-09:

Roman Polanski was granted bail in the Swiss courts after a $4.49 million bail deposit, full surrender of his passport and travel documents to the Zurich police, and the donning of an electronic ankle bracelet. Polanski will spend his time guessing whether or not the Swiss will send him packing back to the U.S. to receive his punishment for the assault on Samantha Geimer, all cozied up in a Swiss chalet known as the "Milky Way." He will be confined to house arrest inside the luxury $1.6 million Alpine abode:

Even without stepping outside, Polanski's life will improve from the small detention cell he had in Zurich with a sink, toilet, television and storage compartment.

Gstaad (pronounced guh-SHTAHD) offers a range of quality restaurants and hotels, and "people here can order food to their chalets any time," said Marlene Mueller of the local tourism agency.

From the gourmet shop Pernet Comestibles, fine food such as fresh oysters, Swiss cheeses and a range of whiskies and wine can be delivered.
And, even though Polanski may now be the world's most famous fugitive, most locals are likely to leave him alone.
