Starting at Penny's: Drasius Keyds - When the law failed him, he got justice! He is a Dad, a Father, who shot dead a judge and senior politician who molested his daughter. Keyds' nightmare began a year ago when daughter Deimantela told him about a meeting set up by his then fiancee with Judge Jonas Furmanavicziusa and the Speaker of Lithuania's parliament , Andrius Us. The pair allegedly raped and abused the youngster who reported her ordeal to her father. But a year long campaign for a police investigation failed when detectives told Keyds there was not enough evidence to proceed with a case. So after a year of stalling and other such baloney. He gunned them down. ..."Stories of my four-year old daughter about naked men , her being undressed, her being licked and requests to lick big sysalai (as the little girl calls men’s genital organs ), dripping out cream, her being covered with that “natural” cream, becoming of sysalas very littl

"Do you guys understand now? Putin is the puppet of a few oligarchs, that fought against another faction of oligarchs."  (source -- see comments) March 2009: Putin's retinue of loyal oligarchs—such as Oleg Deripaska, Vladimir Potantin, Igor Makarov, and others—are now beginning to realize that Putin, their protector for nearly a decade, will not be able to protect them much longer; and each man will have to fend for himself in order to survive, even if this involves stripping the assets of their own companies. (Jamestown Foundation) March 2010: Russia has more billionaires than any other country in Europe, according to Forbes’ annual list of the world's richest people.

See if you can detect a pattern. beautiful people rule the world but are they doing a good job? A math whiz discovers that Madoff's returns are literally impossible in 1999. He tries to blow the whistle to the SEC in 2001, but he's just too nerdy for anyone to give him the time of day. He contacted journalists and politicians. Even now, after being vindicated, the kewl kids still can't find anything nice to say about him. Harry Markopolos , the man who tried for years to blow the whistle on mega-fraudster Bernie Madoff , has published a book about his 10-year crusade to unmask the financier's Ponzi scheme. The appropriately-titled No one would Listen tells how Markopolos first surmised the incredible truth - that the well-known and respected Madoff had been carrying out the biggest fraud of all time for decades - as far back as 1999. Markopolos is an almost-comic figure: a voluble, self-confessed maths nerd who for many years, while he struggled to h

Remember this post from the other day: teevee pimps? Regarding the Georgian station Imedi? To quickly recap, Imedi ran that stunt recently simulating a Russian attack on Georgia. The post was about who owned the station, which is a matter of some confusion. Joseph Kay claimed to be the long lost nephew and executor of the original Georgian oligarch owner, Badri Patarkatsishvili. Patarkatsishvili was the owner of the Imedi TV station which was stormed by special forces on 7 November 2007. On his death Kay announced that Patarkatsishvili, whom he claimed was a relative (the claim is disputed), had given him control of Imedi. Kay last year then said - in a statement subsequently underlined by Mikheil Saakashvili's own office - that he had sold 90% of Imedi to the sovereign wealth fund of the Gulf emirate Rah Al-Khaimah.   The 90% ownership interest, Ras Al-Khaimah Invesment Authority (RAKIA), is (one of?) the (many) sovereign wealth fund(s) of the absolute monarchy

Like trafficking rings, much internet treachery falls under the protected business of organized crime. It's that "Russian Mafia" again, Russian meaning Jewish, because the top bananas have Israeli passports, and they're safe there from the T-rex arms of the law. rule of law! rule of law! Rings need lots of soldiers. Guys like this. About six months ago Alberto Gonzalez was arrested and charged with hacking something like 130+ million credit and debit card numbers. Alberto Gonzalez, 28, from Miami, and two unnamed computer hackers, based in or near Russia, allegedly targeted 7-Eleven and other large corporations by uploading millions of customers' details from internal computer systems onto servers that worked as hacking platforms. They allegedly breached the firewall of Heartland Payment Systems, a New Jersey-based bank card payment processor, stealing 130 million numbers. They allegedly stole 4.2 million card details from Hannaf

You have heard the phrase "a culture of impunity?" Australian police have come under fire for their "culture of impunity:" More than 100 police have been caught up in the scandal over the distribution of racist, homophobic and pornographic emails, described by Mr Overland as "offensive" and "shocking". Two officers received section 68 notices from Mr Overland, in which they were asked to explain why they should not be sacked. One of the officers facing the sack, Sergeant Tony Vangorp, responded by resigning last Friday. He was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot on Monday night at the Healesville police station, where he had gone to collect personal belongings. The most offensive emails are believed to include a graphic image of an ethnic man being tortured and another featuring bestiality, police sources told AAP. Hot on the heels of that, some police officers have been captured on video using excessive force. Int
