1…………> Sacramento Slave Driver: Forced Labor 

The Justice Department today announced that Firdos Sheikh, 58, of Elk Grove, California, was indicted by a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on two counts of forced labor, two counts of alien harboring for financial gain, one count of obstructing a forced labor investigation, and one count of making false statements to federal agents. The announcement was made by Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. 

According to the indictment, between October 2008 and June 2013, the defendant harbored and concealed two victims on her property and other locations and forced them to provide labor and services for her financial benefit. In July 2013, the defendant lied to federal agents and attempted to hide one of the victims from the agents in order to obstruct their investigation. 

An indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. If convicted, the defendant faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and mandatory restitution to the victims.

2…………> Musk Septic Tank: Smell Of Rats? 

World’s greatest short seller Mr. Jim Chanos has claimed for a long time that Tesla is a fraud and kept a large short position for a long time waiting for Musk “house of cards” to collapse. A firing of a whistleblower may have initiated this long awaited process:


“Threatening me only makes it worse for you,” Mr. Musk replied to accusations by a former employee named Marty Tripp who in turn says that he is being smeared for speaking out about standards and safety at the company.


“Betraying your word of honor, breaking the deal you had when Tesla gave you a job and framing your colleagues are wrong and some come with legal penalties. So it goes. Be well,” Mr.Musk added.


Tesla described former employee Martin Tripp as a criminal, a man who hacked into Tesla’s systems in order to steal information and smear the company’s reputation on safety. 


“Tripp retaliated against Tesla by stealing confidential and trade secret information and disclosing it to third parties, and by making false statements intended to harm the company,” the court documents alleged, adding that Mr. Tripp admitted some of the accusations when confronted. 

‘Betraying your word of honor’ 

“You’re a horrible human being,” the head of Tesla Mr. Elon Musk wrote in a tense email exchange between himself and Mr. Tripp.

4…………> Migrant Camps: US Navy 

In support of President Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy, the Navy plans to build “temporary and austere” tent cities to house some 25,000 migrants in Alabama; 47,000 people in San Francisco; and another 47,000 at a facility in southern California with an estimated cost of $450 million per year.

Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jamie Davis said that Department of Defense (DoD) “[is] conducting prudent planning and is looking nationwide at DoD installations should DHS (Department of Homeland Security) ask for assistance in housing adult illegal immigrants.”

5…………> “We Love Barbed Wire”: Austria MP 

Austrian EU minister Gernot Blümel called for the creation of migrant reception centers outside of the EU, and Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Sache said the country is set to “protect its borders.” 


The centers proposed by Austria’s EU minister Gernot Blümel would be used to determine whether individual migrants have a right to asylum in the EU, Blümel said during an interview on Saturday with German public radio, Deutschlandfunk.

2…………> Happy 92th “Dear Mum”: Queen Elizabeth 

Large crowds have gathered in London for the annual Trooping the Color to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 92nd birthday, as British Royal Air Force Red Arrows pilots performed a fly-past and hundreds of soldiers marched to Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall. 

Joining the Queen to watch the event were other senior Royals, including Prince Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the first time Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, now known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, attended the Queen’s birthday celebrations together. 

The Queen — who, until recent years, would attend on a horse — and the newlyweds arrived in open-top carriages at the event that has marked the sovereign’s official birthday for more than 260 years. 

Prince Philip, who retired from public duties last year, did not attend the ceremony that involves more than 1,400 soldiers, 400 musicians, and 200 horses.

3…………> Mr. Trump Goes To G7: Punch, Punch 

President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he was backing out of the joint communique, confirming that he might double down on import tariffs by hitting the sensitive auto industry, and his adviser Larry Kudlow accused Canadian PM Justin Trudeau of betraying Mr. Trump with “polarizing” statements on trade policy, tossing the current tariffs dispute towards a full-blown diplomatic and trade crisis after Mr.Trump called him “very dishonest and weak”. 

The spat drew in Germany and France, who sharply criticised Mr Trump’s decision to abruptly withdraw his support for a Group of Seven communique hammered out at a Canadian summit on Saturday (local time), accusing him of destroying trust and acting inconsistently.

✔@realDonaldTrump 

PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meekly and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!

“Canada does not conduct its diplomacy through ad hominem attacks … and we refrain particularly from ad hominem attacks when it comes from a close ally,” a Canadian official told reporters in Quebec City. 

“[Mr. Trudeau] really kind of stabbed us in the back,” Mr. Kudlow, the director of the National Economic Council who had accompanied Mr. Trump to the summit of wealthy nations on Saturday, said on CNN’s State of the Union.

4…………> United SCO: A G7 Havoc & Retreat 

Unlike their “colleagues” at the highly unsuccessful G7 meeting in Ottawa, Canada, where the leftovers of our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah Barack Obama so called “New World Disorder” crowd spent days to draft a closing resolution that will underscore its unshakable unity in support of the global economy, just to get a big size 17 “Trump boot” in the face and his refusal to sign it, the leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) held the annual summit of the Eurasian institution, with Chinese President Xi Jinping chaired the meeting. 

Blatantly labeled by the “Fake News” media as the “bully boys” of the International community for their refusal to submit to the illegal monetary terror of the Central banks using the Forex market as a tool of political ends, 
at the 18th Meeting of the Council of Heads of Member States of the SCO, Xi called for carrying forward the Shanghai Spirit to surmount difficulties, defuse risks and meet challenges. 

Other SCO leaders also voiced their expectations of future cooperation in various areas so as to give full play to the organization’s role after its expansion.

5…………> The Gulag Years: KGB Archives

Russian newspaper Kommersant cited a Russian museum researching the history of Gulags as saying that prisoner data was being destroyed, presumably under a clandestine order, a claim denied by the Russian deputy minister of internal affairs Igor Zubov, who said that the Gulag documents are “kept forever,” in line with strict formal regulations. The statement followed multiple reports that prisoner records applying to notorious Gulag prison camps which operated in the Soviet Union all the way up to 1960 are allegedly being deleted. 

The records of the mid-20th-century gulag program are — for the most part — ‘registration cards’ featuring prisoners’ personal data as well as tracking their movement between camps as well as their release date if any. In the event of death, authorities sent a special report for permanent storage in the archive. The survivors’ cards, naturally limited in number, often provided exclusive information about their fate. 

Bibi1581.com can only wonder if somewhere in the maddening structure of the KGB there exists an identity card of my uncle who vanished while in custody of the state in 1953 and was reported shipped to the gold mines of the Soviet Union labor caps in the Kolyma River Far East region, never to be heard of again.

1…………> A Fake Billionaire: CA

Following a two-week trial, a federal jury in Denver, Colorado, has convicted a California man named Kenneth Brewington, 55, of Corona, California, on multiple charges for his role in an investment scheme in which he falsely told investors that he was a billionaire who could access certain financing, including hundreds of millions in cash in an overseas bank account, in exchange for up-front fees.

He was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, one count of mail fraud, five counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, one count of laundering monetary instruments, and two counts of engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from unlawful activity.

“Kenneth Brewington and his co-conspirators deceived investors by falsely claiming to have hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in an overseas bank account as part of a criminal scheme to steal the investors’ hard-earned money,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Cronan. “The Department of Justice is dedicated to working with our law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute people who are involved in fraudulent investment schemes, and to pursuing justice for the victims of those crimes.”

2…………> Open Borders “Coffee Cup”: Filth, Crime, Misery

 

The Islamic Sheikdom of French Interior Minister ordered the evacuation of some 2,300 migrants living in makeshift camps in Paris amid a row with the city’s mayor over the strategy to resolve the long-lasting crisis, by ordered police to work out an evacuation operation as soon as possible not only to find shelter for migrants but also to run “administrative controls.”

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo has appealed to the government to provide shelter for migrants sleeping rough in deteriorating conditions and fix the “inhuman,” mushrooming squalid and packed camps along canals in the eastern and northeastern parts of the city, raising alarm for safety and public hygiene.

3…………> “Deaf Them Yankees”: The Cuba “Sonars”

In an unmistakable sign of deadly hostility by the secret services of China, a country whose president Mr.Xi is reportedly having a “very good chemistry” with President Trump, a US Government employee in the southern part of the country has reported suffering from “abnormal” sounds and pressure leading to a mild brain injury, the US embassy said — recalling similar experiences among 21 American diplomats in Cuba.

“A US Government employee in China recently reported subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure. The US Government is taking these reports seriously and has informed its official staff in China of this event,” a statement said.

The unnamed American citizen assigned to the consulate in Guangzhou had reported a variety of “physical symptoms” dating from late 2017 to April this year, the US embassy in Beijing said in an email.

The worker was sent to the United States for further evaluation, where “the clinical findings of this evaluation matched mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI),” the embassy said.

4…………> Spanish Treasure: Worth Billions

A Spanish galleon that sank more than 300 years ago laden with gold worth now almost 22 billion dollars, was found three years ago in 1800 feet of water of the Colombian coast near the town of San Jose, a watery grave where 600 men were lost in a battle with British ships in the War of Spanish Succession. 

 
 

“We’ve been holding this under wraps out of respect for the Colombian government,” said WHOI’s vice president for marine facilities and operations, Rob Munier.

The exact location of the wreck of the San Jose, often called the “holy grail of shipwrecks”, was long considered one of history’s enduring maritime mysteries.

5…………> Van Gogh Jr: X-Ray Find

Art restorer Jiri Lauterkranc has been studying a painting called “La Crau with a View of Montmajour” for three years after his team found it by using a  combination of a specialist X-ray scanner and traditional methods to identify the painting.

Mr. Lauterkranc believes the painting is a genuine Vincent Van Gogh and is sending evidence to the Van Gogh Foundation for final verification.
