Mathew and Carla Stevenson were two of the most popular pupils at their primary school in rural France and renowned for being extremely close.But last Saturday both allegedly became victims of a bitter custody battle between their English father and French mother. In a suspected double murder, 10-year-old Mathew and five-year-old Carla are said to have had their throats cut by their father, Julian Stevenson.The 48-year-old, who is originally from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, allegedly killed them both in an alcohol-fuel rage. Their mother, Stephanie Morlet, came to collect them from a visit - the first Stevenson had been allowed in three years because of his violent behaviour - and saw him escaping the murder scene in a suburb of Lyon on a pair of roller-skates. Today, a picture of the loving little brother and sister was on display in the village of Charantonnay, south of Lyon, where the children's former classmates took part in a 'white march' in support of the family.Many were in floods of tears as Ms Morlet, who is in her early 40s, walked at the head of a process of some 300 people carrying white roses and white balloons. M'They were hugely popular children,' said Marie-Jeanne Chesneau. 'Our aim today is to show how much they meant to us, and how much we miss them.'Mrs Chesneau said the Morlet family had moved to the village some six years ago, and Mathew and Carla enrolled at the local village school in 2010. This was around the time that Ms Morlet was divorcing Stevenson because of his violent behaviour. Mrs Morlet wore dark glasses today as she walked through the town surrounded by family members. 'Stephanie inconsolable - her world has fallen apart,' said one family member. 'What has happened is absolutely horrific.' Ms Morlet was badly beaten up by Stevenson in 2005 and 2010, when an order was made preventing Stevenson seeing the children without a third party adult being present. The 2010 order was said to have been reversed over the past few weeks, meaning Stevenson was allowed to have the children to stay on Friday night for the first time in three years. Stevenson has been formally placed under criminal investigation for the double, and is likely to be remanded in custody until his murder trial.Another judicial source said: 'We are presently holding back from the charge of premeditated murder but this could always change.' The source said all the circumstances surrounding the horrific crime would be investigated over many months.

Two young children..with their father...HOURS from... Neighbours of the Stevenson said he had appeared 'calm and relaxed' as he wandered around the St Priest suburb of Lyon, where he lives, with the two children on Saturday morning. 'It was a warm day and he was in T-shirt and long shorts,' said one. 'The children were smiling happily, and appeared to be enjoying a day out with their dad. 'He was buying them little presents, including sweets, and did not appear in the least bit flustered.' When Mrs Stevenson, an accountant's assistant, returned to pick up the children from the second floor apartment at around 5pm on Saturday she saw Stevenson looking 'panicked and angry', according to a neighbour. 'He was in the stairwell of the block, and his clothes were covered in blood,' said the neighbour. 'He made off on a pair of roller-skates, leaving his car in the apartment block's garage.' The bakery in Lyon where Julian Stevenson took his children hours before allegedly killing them The block of flats where Julian Stevenson lived Following a short manhunt, Stevenson was found in Lyon's 8th arrondissement at around 8pm on the same evening. A judicial source said that a knife which was thought to be the murder weapon had been found in the flat. The source said the double murder was 'clearly linked to a painful separation' and 'legal procedures concerning the right to access to the children which the father deemed insufficient.' Stevenson has been living in France for 10 years and married in 2005. His wife was finally heard by prosecutors on Sunday, providing them with their details of her troubled relationship with her ex-husband. Investigators were particularly keen to know who gave the father legal authority to look after the children. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b8b_1369254012 VikingRapeSquad Scumbag Trash British Man-Child Murders His Two Children After buying Them Ice Cream uk, british, slaves, peasants, scum, white, trash, murders, his, children Wed, 22 May 2013 01:29:40 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8d8_1369200193 Lake8737 The most painful thing for men is going with women to clothing stores if you ask me.

Hysen Sherifi, 29, was one of six Raleigh-area Muslims convicted in 2011 of planning to attack the Marine base in Quantico, Va., and overseas targets. Shortly after starting his 45-year prison sentence in the terror case, Sherifi approached another inmate to help him hire a hit man to behead government informants and FBI agents. He recruited his younger brother Shkumbin Sherifi, 23, and former special education teacher Nevine Aly Elshiekh, 48, to help pay the hit man and organize the murders. But the inmate whose help Sherifi sought turned out to be yet another government informant. FBI agents then staged an elaborate sting that involved secretly videotaped meetings with a woman posing as the go-between for a fictional hit man named Treetop and doctored photos that appeared to show the corpse of a beheaded witness in a shallow grave. Federal prosecutors recommended leniency for the two coconspirators, who pleaded guilty last year and agreed to testify at the elder Sherifi's trial on nine felony counts. Citing their extensive cooperation, U.S. District Senior Judge Earl sentenced the younger Sherifi to 3 years in prison, while Elshiekh got 3 1/2 years. They had faced as much as 10 years each. Before Hysen Sherifi was sentenced, he lectured the judge about Islamic teachings. "The Koran is the truth that invalidates all other religions," said Sherifi, who declined a court-appointed lawyer and represented himself at trial. "If you do not submit, he will severely judge you, and on the day of judgment you will enter hellfire." "That it?" asked Britt, who has served more than three decades on the federal bench. The judge then tacked the four life sentences onto the end of Sherifi's earlier 45-year prison term, along with another 50 years on top of that. "There can be no doubt Mr. Sherifi, the defendant in this case, meets the definition of a terrorist," Britt said. "He was the genesis of this conspiracy. He was the mastermind, though I'm hesitant to use that term because it affords him more credit than he is due." Noting that the defendant was unsuccessful in killing anyone, Britt said Sherifi's worst transgression was destroying the lives of his little brother Shkumbin and Elshiekh, with whom he had carried on a romantic dalliance from behind bars. Elshiekh, a U.S. citizen whose parents emigrated from Egypt, was a respected teacher of special-needs children who was also active as a youth leader at her Raleigh mosque. According to court testimony, she had just undergone a painful divorce from a cheating husband when she began attending Sherifi's 2011 terrorism trial. She later began visiting him regularly in jail. Dr. Emily Keram, a forensic psychiatrist hired by the defense, testified that Elshiekh was molested as a child by an uncle in Egypt and then trapped in an arranged marriage to a "con man" who later abandoned her to marry another woman. Elshiekh was prescribed several psychiatric drugs that impaired her ability to reason and made her pliable to the will of others, the psychiatrist said. At Hysen Sherifi's direction, Elshiekh gave a collection of gold jewelry given to her by her ex-husband to the younger brother, who pawned the pieces to raise the $5,000 he believed was needed to hire the hit man to execute the first victim. Elshiekh claimed she had no idea what the money was for until she followed her paramour's direction to meet with a woman in a parked car. The woman, an informant for the FBI, showed Elshiekh a photo of one of the targeted witnesses and asked her to confirm that was the first man to be killed. Though she then knew what the money was for, Elshiekh continued on with the plot for another 20 days until her arrest. In her early court appearances, Elshiekh wore a headscarf and a black dress that fully covered her arms and legs. On Friday, her long hair trailed down her back and she wore western clothes. In a tearful apology before the court on Friday, she accepted responsibility for what she had done. "I wish I could turn back time, but I can't do that," she told the judge. "I never wanted anyone to get hurt." Wearing shackles and a black Chicago T-shirt, Shkumbin Sherifi declined to address the judge before sentencing. The Sherifis are ethnic Albanians who fled Kosovo in 1999 during a brutal sectarian war with Serbs and ended up as refugees in Raleigh. Though Hysen gravitated toward a militant strain of Islam, his younger siblings acclimated more readily to life in America. Shkumbin went so far as to record an amateur rap album. Among those testifying Friday was one of the government witnesses Hysen Sherifi wanted dead. Melvin Weeks was a U.S. Army soldier serving in Kosovo after the war when he met the older Sherifi, who was visiting his grandparents. Weeks, a Muslim, said Sherifi praised Osama bin Laden and showed him jihadist videos that included a hostage being beheaded. Though an American bombing campaign had saved the ethnic Albanians from genocide just a few years earlier, Weeks said Sherifi called for holy war against the very nation that gave his family a new home. "In my opinion, he is a devil manifested here on Earth, walking among us," the former soldier said. http://www.kinston.com/news/web-exclusives/man-sentenced-in-n-c-plot-to-behead-terror-witness-1.142641 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=587_1369056329 Zurm Man sentenced in N.C. plot to behead terror witness Man,sentenced,plot,behead,error,witness Sat, 18 May 2013 16:32:48 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6a3_1368908869 Lake8737 The boy says it leaves bad memory in his mind by losing virginity in this way.

Except the only place that it's really a matter of choice is in a non-Muslim country. Rabia Kazan, a Turkish female journalist and author of a book about prostitution in Iran, describes the stifling experience of being forced to cover up and the threats that came after she chose freedom. Arguing that there is no verse for wearing headscarves in the Quran, Kazan has faced heavy criticism also in her country due to her thoughts. Her own father attacked her house with stones. "I FELT FREEDOM WHEN I TOOK OFF MY HEADSCARF" "During the first years of wearing a headscarf, I used to feel like my head was stuck up inside a nylon bag, and I heard humming. I had those fearful moments when the needles came loose, wondering if the needle would prick my throat. So I would at times take off the headscarf secretly when my mother was not watching. But one day when I got caught by my mother she subjected me to an unforgettably painful beating. 30 years later, when I decided to uncover my head, another battle started. It was very difficult. Radical Islamists got very furious when a covered and well-known writer decided to uncover her head. I heard harsh insults and received death threats. When I came to America, first of all I started to swim to my heart's content... It was such regret for me not to have done it for so long that I didn't want to get out of the swimming pool before I swam for two hours every night... I suffered from vitamin D deficiency since my skin didn't get enough sunlight by then and this normally causes serious illnesses, weakness and mental fatigue. I sunbathed a lot. Then I tied my hair in a pony-tail and played tennis under the blue sky with my white tennis clothes on. I cannot tell you how good it felt. Then I fulfilled my dream of growing nails and putting on red nail polish, which was a personal remembrance to me. I had met a woman in my trip to Iran who was forced to put her hands into a bag full of insects just because she had put on red nail polish... Whenever I put on red nail polish, I still remember that woman with sadness... Now I am free and believe that God has no problem with the hair on my head, He will not burn me in his Hell for this reason, He holds us with much more mercy and kindness than we think, and that being "a good person" is much more important than wearing a dark veil. http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/turkish-female-journalist-receives-death-threats-for-removing-hijab/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7c3_1368793011 Zurm Turkish Female Journalist Receives Death Threats for Removing Hijab Turkish,Female,Journalist,Receives,Death,Threats,Removing,Hijab Thu, 16 May 2013 19:19:26 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c27_1368746092 dcmfox . . http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2...?currentPage=1 highlights from the article: ...At 2:35 A.M. on September 7, 1982, the phone rang in Issa's house. The Quantum and Steal Stopper office and factory was on fire. Issa got dressed and drove the seven miles from his house, in Oakwood Village, to his workplace, in Maple Heights. He arrived by 3 A.M., to find blue flames shooting from holes in the roof. Four fire engines, a helicopter, and forty-three firefighters from three departments responded to the alarm. When the firemen entered the building, they encountered black smoke so thick they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces. The fire took three hours to bring under control... (more on the fire later) ...A member of Issa's Army unit, Jay Bergey, told Williams that his most vivid recollection of the young Issa was that in December, 1971, Issa stole his car, a yellow Dodge Charger. "I confronted Issa," Bergey said in 1998. "I got in his face and threatened to kill him, and magically my car reappeared the next day, abandoned on the turnpike." On March 15, 1972, three months after Issa allegedly stole Jay Bergey's car and one month after he left the Army for the first time, Ohio police arrested Issa and his older brother, William, and charged them with stealing a red Maserati from a Cleveland showroom. According to court records, on December 28, 1979, William Issa arrived at Smythe European Motors, in San Jose, and offered to sell Darrell's car, a red 1976 Mercedes sedan. William was carrying an Ohio driver's license with his brother's name on it and the dealer gave William a check for sixteen thousand dollars, which he immediately cashed. Soon afterward, Darrell reported the car stolen from the Monterey airport. He later told the police that he had left the title in the trunk. The brothers had been together in Cleveland for Christmas, and, after Darrell gave a series of conflicting statements about his brother and whether he himself had recently obtained a second driver's license, the investigator in the case became suspicious that the two men had conspired to fraudulently sell Darrell's car and then collect the insurance money. The brothers were indicted for grand theft. Darrell argued that he had no knowledge of William's activities; William claimed that his brother had authorized him to sell the car, and he produced a document dated a few weeks before the robbery that gave him power of attorney over his brother's affairs. On February 15th, with the investigation ongoing, Darrell returned to the San Jose dealership and repurchased his car, for seventeen thousand dollars. In August, 1980, the prosecution dropped the case. Darrell insisted that he was a victim, not a criminal. William had produced evidence that he had the legal authority to sell the car, and the injured party was reimbursed... ....While the Maserati case was pending, Issa went to college. Just before 11 P.M. on Friday, December 1, 1972, two police officers on patrol in the small town of Adrian noticed Issa driving a yellow Volkswagen the wrong way down a one-way street. The police pulled him over, and, as Issa retrieved the car registration, an officer saw something peculiar in the glove compartment. He searched it, and, according to the police report, found a .25-calibre Colt automatic inside a box of ammunition, along with a "military pouch" that contained "44 rounds of ammo and a tear gas gun and two rounds of ammo for it." Issa was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. The policeman asked why he was armed. "He stated in Ohio you could carry a gun as long as you had a justifiable reason," the report said. "His justifiable reason was for his car's protection and his." Issa pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of possession of an unregistered gun. He paid a small fine and was sentenced to six months' probation... He started his car-alarm empire by acquiring the Steal Stopper brand in what was essentially a hostile takeover. A man named Joey B. Adkins owned the company, and Issa loaned him sixty thousand dollars. When Adkins was late on a payment, Issa went to court and foreclosed on the loan. Two days later, Adkins told me, Issa called and said that he wanted Adkins to come visit him at his new office. He gave Adkins the address of Steal Stopper. "I just took your company," Adkins recalled him saying... Once in control, Issa allegedly used an unusual method to fire Jack Frantz, an employee. Frantz told the Los Angeles Times that Issa came into his office, placed a box on the table, and opened it to reveal a gun. Issa told the paper, "Shots were never fired. If I asked Jack to leave, then I think I had every right to ask Jack to leave. . . . I don't recall . I really don't. I don't think I ever pulled a gun on anyone in my life." Issa was soon suspected of doing something worse: burning down the factory. The initial notion that an electrical socket had caused the fire was challenged. The science of determining whether a fire was caused by arson can be flawed. But a fire-analysis report commissioned by the St. Paul insurance company, and dated October 19, 1982, a month after the incident, concluded that the fire was "incendiary." The report cited "suspicious burn patterns," such as "two separate major areas of origin," and it said, "No accidental source of heating power was located at either of these two major areas of origin." The manner in which stacks of cardboard boxes burned was inconsistent with an accidental fire. A flammable liquid appeared to have been poured over the boxes. The blue flames seen emanating from the roof were evidence, according to the investigators, of burning carbon monoxide that is produced when an accelerant like gasoline ignites. The black smoke was also a clue. "Such black smoke normally occurs in a fire only when a hydrocarbon is burning," the report said. When investigators tested burn damage from inside the factory, they found "the same identical mixture of flammable hydrocarbons" in four samples taken from diverse locations. St. Paul sought out background information on Issa and his companies. Investigators interviewed family members, bank officials, and former employees. They looked into Issa's court and credit records, mortgage documents, and other personal information. Joey Adkins, the former owner of Steal Stopper, provided the main evidence against Issa. On the afternoon of September 20, 1982, in a lengthy recorded interview with an insurance investigator, he described a series of suspicious actions by Issa before the fire. Adkins, who still worked for Steal Stopper, said that Issa removed the company's Apple II computer from the building, including "all hardware, all software, all the instruction books," and also "the discs for accounts payable, accounts receivable, customer list, everything." According to Adkins, Issa also transferred a copy of every design used by Steal Stopper from a filing cabinet to a fireproof box. He also said that Issa put in the box some important silk screens used in the production of circuit boards. Insurance officials noted that, less than three weeks before the fire, Issa had increased his insurance from a hundred thousand dollars to four hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars. "Quite frankly," Adkins told the investigator, "I feel the man set the fire."... ...The insurance company, meanwhile, had found something peculiar about Issa, unrelated to the arson: there was no indication of where his initial capital came from. After interviewing a family member, an investigator reported, "She was unable to advise us as to his financial banking to become an officer in Quantum Inc." A second report noted, "We were unable to find the source of his financing for the business ventures he is engaged in at the present time."... ...in 2003, Issa, who was now worth more than a hundred million dollars, funded the recall of the state's governor, Gray Davis. It was an ambitious project. Davis, who had been elected to a second term six months earlier, had not committed an impeachable offense; he simply had become unpopular. Issa planned to run for governor and replace Davis, but once again reporters started to look into his past. They took particular interest in the story of his brother stealing his car, and again questioned Issa's truthfulness... "Darrell's sensitive about fixating too much on his past," Bardella said. "Obviously, the stuff that happened . . ." His voice trailed off. "We can talk about it, as well we should. It is part of his past, but it does make him somewhat wary."... ...I wanted to know about the troubles in his past: the gun conviction, the three allegations of car theft, the arson allegation, the allegation that he dismissed an employee while brandishing a gun, and the mysteries about his finances. These are matters he avoids discussing at length with the press, and, as we got into the details, he joked that it might be less painful if I would "just twiddle the toes." Issa seemed tired of defending himself from these old stories... ...A few days after we met in Las Vegas, Issa called me. He was concerned about all my questions regarding his early life and didn't see why they were newsworthy. The conversation was awkward. I told him that there was one more question I wanted him to answer: Where did you get the money for your start in business? The issue had stumped the insurance investigators, and William had, somewhat mysteriously, told me that his brother "would lend people money and get money back that way when he was in the service. He would buy and sell cars sometimes. He would get cars at a very good price, keep them, and sell them." There was a pause on the phone. "That's sort of an amazing one to ask," Issa said. He took a deep breath, and then carefully and patiently explained that, before he started at Quantum, he sold a BMW motorcycle and two cars-his Mercedes and his wife's 1967 Volkswagen Bug. "We liquidated everything we could to raise money," he said. He added that he also borrowed fifty thousand dollars from family members to make the first loan to Adkins. Issa seemed frustrated and exhausted. "Everyone," he said, "has a past." -------------------------------------------------------------- this is the guy who called the obama administration the most corrupt in history? this is the guy who's in charge of the committee to investigate obama? ...this guy is nothing but a common criminal. i'm glad the new yorker is exposing him. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c27_1368746092 dcmfox Darrell Issa - Car thief, arsonist, scam artist - now in charge of investigating President Obama Darrell Issa, Car thief, arsonist, scam artist Thu, 16 May 2013 18:38:15 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=396_1368743794 omniradar Take It From the Rabbi's Mouth Take It From the Rabbi's Mouth Introduction by Gilad Atzmon Every so often we come across a secular Jewish 'anti' Zionist' who argues that Zionism is not Judaism and vice versa. Interestingly enough, I have just come across an invaluable text that illuminates this question from a rabbinical perspective. Apparently back in 1942, 757 American Rabbis added their names to a public pronouncement titled 'Zionism an Affirmation of Judaism'. This Rabbinical rally for Zionism was declared at the time "the largest public pronouncement in all Jewish history." Today, we tend to believe that world Jewry's transition towards support for Israel followed the 1967 war though some might argue that already in 1948, American Jews manifested a growing support for Zionism. However, this rabbinical pronouncement proves that as early as 1942, the American Jewish religious establishment was already deeply Zionist. And if this is not enough, the rabbis also regarded Zionism as the 'implementation' of Judaism. Seemingly, already then, the peak of World War two, the overwhelming majority of American Rabbis regarded Zionism, not only as fully consistent with Judaism, but as a "logical expression and implementation of it." In spite of the fact that early Zionist leaders were largely secular and the East European Jewish settler waves were driven by Jewish socialist ideology, the rabbis contend that "Zionism is not a secularist movement. It has its origins and roots in the authoritative religious texts of Judaism. Those rabbis were not a bunch of ignoramuses. They were patriotic and nationalistic and they grasped that "universalism is not a contradiction of nationalism." The rabbis tried to differentiate between contemporaneous German Nationalism and other national movements and they definitely wanted to believe that Zionism was categorically different to Nazism. "Nationalism as such, whether it be English, French, American or Jewish, is not in itself evil. It is only militaristic and chauvinistic nationalism, that nationalism which shamelessly flouts all mandates of international morality, which is evil." But as we know, just three years after the liberation of Auschwitz the new Jewish State launched a devastating racially driven ethnic-cleansing campaign. Zionism has proven to be militaristic and chauvinistic. Shockingly enough, back in 1942 as many as 757 American rabbis were able to predict the outcome of the war and they realised that the suffering of European Jewry would be translated into a Jewish State . "We are not so bold as to predict the nature of the international order which will emerge from the present war. It is altogether likely, and indeed it may be desirable, that all sovereign states shall under the coming peace surrender some of their sovereignty to achieve a just and peaceful world society (a Jewish State)." Some American patriots today are concerned with Israeli-American dual nationality and the dual aspirations of American Jews. Apparently our rabbis addressed this topic too. According to them, there is no such conflict whatsoever. All American Jews are American patriots and all American decision makers are Zionists. "Every fair-minded American knows that American Jews have only one political allegiance-and that is to America. There is nothing in Zionism to impair this loyalty. Zionism has been endorsed in our generation by every President from Woodrow Wilson to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and has been approved by the Congress of the United States. The noblest spirits in American life, statesmen, scholars, writers, ministers and leaders of labor and industry, have lent their sympathy and encouragement to the movement." Back in 1942 our American rabbis were bold enough to state that defeating Hitler was far from sufficient. For them, a full solution of the Jewish question could only take place in Palestine. "Jews, and all non-Jews who are sympathetically interested in the plight of Jewry, should bear in mind that the defeat of Hitler will not of itself normalize Jewish life in Europe. " But there was one thing the American rabbis failed to mention - the Palestinian people. For some reason, those rabbis who knew much about 'universalism' and in particular Jewish 'universalism' showed very little concern to the people of the land. I guess that after all, chosennss is a form of blindness and rabbis probably know more about this than anyone else.
