1…………> A Letter From Cristoforo: 500 Years Later 

Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) returned a more than a 500-year-old copy of Christopher Columbus’ letter describing his discoveries in the Americas to Spain during an evening repatriation ceremony at the Residence of the Spanish Ambassador to the United States. The letter, originally written in 1493, was stolen from the National Library of Catalonia in Barcelona and sold for approximately $1 million. 

“I am pleased to be able to return a priceless piece of cultural property to its rightful owners,” said HSI Acting Deputy Executive Associate Director Alysa D. Erichs. “I would like to thank Ambassador Morenés for his hospitality in hosting us tonight, HSI Wilmington, Madrid, Brasilia, and Paris for their excellent work on this investigation, as well as the tremendous assistance by our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Delaware, without whom today’s repatriation would not be possible,” Erichs added. 

The return of the letter was the culmination of a seven-year investigation jointly conducted by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware. It began in 2011 when HSI Wilmington (Del.) and the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office received a tip that several 15th century original manually printed copies of the Columbus Letter were stolen from European libraries and replaced with forgeries without the knowledge of library officials or local law enforcement. The investigation determined that the stolen Columbus Letter from Spain was sold in November 2005 for 600,000 Euros by two Italian book dealers. 

“This evening ceremony is a showcase of the ties that bind the United States and Spain together,” said Ambassador of Spain to the United States Pedro Morenés. “The cooperation between Homeland Security Investigations and special units of the Guardia Civil has born great fruit in ensuring the return of stolen cultural property to Spain,” Ambassador Morenes added. 

Today’s repatriation marks the second return of a Columbus letter by ICE, the most recent until now taking place in May 2016. 

ICE has returned over 11,000 artifacts to over 30 countries since 2007, including paintings from France, Germany, Poland and Austria, 15th-18th century manuscripts from Italy and Peru, cultural artifacts from China, Cambodia, and two Baatar dinosaur fossils to Mongolia, ancient artifacts including a mummy’s hand to Egypt, royal seals valued at $1,500,000 to the Republic of Korea, and most recently, thousands of ancient artifacts to Iraq.

2…………> Opioid Injections: DOJ Strikes 

A CEO and four physicians identified as Mashiyat Rashid, 37, of West Bloomfield, Michigan; Spilios Pappas, 61, of Monclova, Ohio; Joseph Betro, 57, of Novi, Michigan; Tariq Omar, 61, of West Bloomfield, Michigan; and Mohammed Zahoor, 51, also of Novi, were each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud in a indictment as part of an investigation into a $200 million health care fraud scheme that involved a network of Michigan and Ohio pain clinics, laboratories and other medical providers. The superseding indictment returned yesterday charges an additional wire fraud conspiracy, adds an additional count of money laundering, and contains new allegations regarding the distribution of over 4.2 million medically unnecessary dosage units of controlled substances and the administration of medically unnecessary injections that resulted in patient harm. 

“We are facing the deadliest drug crisis in American history,” said Attorney General Sessions. “Sadly, some corporate executives and medical professionals continue to exploit vulnerable patients and the American taxpayer for profit. With one American dying of a drug overdose every nine minutes, this superseding indictment reflects the Department of Justice’s determination to prosecute those who engage in opioid-related fraud. These cases are extremely important. Since 2017, the Department charged more than 150 doctors for opioid-related crimes. Today’s indictment reflects our continued dedication to these important cases. I want to thank our FBI, HHS-OIG and IRS-CI agents, DOJ attorneys, and everyone else who helped investigate and prosecute this case.”

3…………> Separated At Point Of Entry: Enter AG Sessions 

The “zero-tolerance” policy towards adults who try to cross the border seeking asylum, are detained and threatened with criminal prosecution for illegal entry, leaving hundreds of minors have been taken from them, as US Attorney General Jeff Session defended the separation of migrant children from their parents at the border with Mexico, a measure that has faced increasing criticism. 

Mr. Sessions said those entering the US irregularly would be criminally prosecuted, a change to a long-standing policy of charging most of those crossing for the first time with a misdemeanor offense, with the children that come with them will be separated and deemed as unaccompanied minors. 

As such, they are placed in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services and sent to a relative, foster home or a shelter – officials at those places are said to be already running out of space to house them.

4…………> In Daddy’s Footsteps: Hamza Bin Laden 

Hamza bin Laden, a son and heir apparent to the “Founding Father” terror leader Osama bin Laden, is planning to materialize his religious fanaticism

by overthrowing the Saudi monarchy, capturing Islamic holy cities and taking revenge on the West for his father’s death, according to Russian anti-terror experts.

Al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden fathered at least 20 children but his favored was Hamza, born in 1989 to his wife Khairiah Sabar, one of bin Laden’s three wives at the Abbottabad compound in Pakistan where bin Laden senior was found and killed in May 2011 in a US special forces operation.

We have to wait and see if new Fed chair Powell will attempt to destroy Eurasian block by sending gold prices below 1000, despite the fact both Russia and China have been buying their whole gold production in local gold backed currency instead of money printing machines. In other words, US has lost controls of the precious metals complex, and with Trump’s infrastructure and tax cut campaign the National debt will soon be at, or over 30 trillion dollars, since D.C. swamp alligators have no intention dropping their pet projects.

1…………> Breaking: London Hotel Fire 

 

A fire has broken out at Mandarin Oriental Hotel at William Street in Knightsbridge, with the huge area has been cordoned off by the police and vehicle traffic between Sloane Street and Hyde Park Corner has been stopped in both directions. 

 

Dozens of firefighters rushed to tackle a blaze that broke out at a hotel building near central Hyde Park in London Wednesday afternoon. 

“Around 100 firefighters are tackling a large fire at a hotel of 12 floors in Knightsbridge,” London Fire Brigade said shortly after the fire started. 

A later tweet from the brigade said: “We have now got 20 fire engines and around 120 firefighters (at the scene).” 

Almost a year ago, a huge fire in Grenfell Tower Block in West London killed 71 people.

2…………> “Miracle Girl”: Guatemala

Video of police officers carrying a baby girl who was buried under ash and debris after Guatemala volcano Fuego erupted has kindled a small sign of hope, as the death toll rises and authorities warn the Fuego volcano is showing signs of greater activity and fears spread that anyone still stuck in the buried houses was dead and would remain entombed there. 


The death toll from the weekend’s devastating eruption climbed to 75 with nearly 200 people remained missing, as “The Volcan de Fuego”, one of several active volcanos in Guatemala had the most severe lava and gas explosion in four decades.
A spokesman for Guatemala’s disaster agency, CONRED, said once it reached 72 hours after the eruption, there would be little chance of finding anyone alive.

3…………> Defending Melania: President Trump

In a pair of tweets on Wednesday, Mr. Trump railed against ongoing media speculation about Mrs. Trump’s whereabouts.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

The Fake News Media has been so unfair, and vicious, to my wife and our great First Lady, Melania. During her recovery from surgery, they reported everything from near death, to a facelift, to left the W.H. (and me) for N.Y. or Virginia, to abuse. All Fake, she is doing really well!

@realDonaldTrump

…Four reporters spotted Melania in the White House last week walking merrily along to a meeting. They never reported the sighting because it would hurt the sick narrative that she was living in a different part of the world, was really ill, or whatever. Fake News is really bad!

4…………> Trump, Comrade Un Meeting: Sentosa Island

 

The White House confirmed that President Trump and the top leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) Comrade Un will meet at the Capella Hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island, after a short delay last week.“The venue for the Singapore summit between @POTUS and Leader Kim Jong Un will be the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island,” White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders tweeted. 

“We thank our great Singaporean hosts for their hospitality,” she added. 

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump said that his planned meeting with Kim will “hopefully be the start of something big.” 

The White House said Monday that the meeting is tentatively scheduled for 9:00 a.m. (0100 GMT) on June 12 in Singapore. 

After recent twists and turns, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last week met with Kim Yong Chol, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the DPRK’s ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, in New York. 

On Friday, Trump too talked with Kim Yong Chol who delivered a personal letter from Kim Jong Un in a meeting that lasted almost two hours. 

Subsequently, Trump said he would meet with the top DPRK leader on June 12 in Singapore as originally scheduled.

5…………> Our Trashy World: Plastic Pollution

Once scenic coastlines filled with bottles, animals choking on bits of plastic, people picking through the material on vast rubbish dumps: Our convoluted, convenience-based affair with plastic is taking a huge environmental toll because it is lightweight, durable and cheap. The world produced 8.3 billion metric tons of the material since mass production began in the 1950s, and since it is not biodegraded, much of what we’ve made now lives in landfills in many town’s outskirts. Rubbish pickers there hunt for recyclable plastics to earn a living.

1…………> Latino On Black Hate Crime: LA 

An Avenues gang member, identified as Merced Cambero Jr., 39, who used the gang moniker “Shadow,” and was captured last year after more than a decade on the run, pleaded guilty to participating, along with other gang members, in a conspiracy to use violence against African-Americans to interfere with their right to live in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. 

Cambero also admitted to participating in the 1999 racially-motivated murder of Kenneth Wilson, an African-American man who was shot and killed in furtherance of that conspiracy. The defendant was sentenced by United States District Judge Percy Anderson, who in 2006 presided over the trial of four co-defendants who were charged along with Cambero in the initial 2004 indictment and a superseding indictment that followed in 2005. 

The superseding indictment alleged that Cambero and three of the four co-defendants – Gilbert “Lucky” Saldana, Alejandro “Bird” Martinez, and Fernando “Sneaky” Cazares – shot and killed Mr. Wilson because of his race and because he was using the public streets in Los Angeles, and that they used firearms during and in furtherance of that crime. These defendants were also charged, along with a fourth co-defendant, Porfirio “Dreamer” Avila, with conspiring to use violence to interfere with the federal housing rights of African Americans in Highland Park, including another African-American man, Christopher Bowser, who was shot and killed in 2000. Saldana, Martinez, Cazares, and Avila stood trial in 2006, were convicted on all charges, and were sentenced to life in prison. Although Cambero was charged in the same indictment, he was never arrested or arraigned until he was captured in Mexico last year. He was then returned to the United States to face the charges against him. 

“This Justice Department will not tolerate any act of violence motivated because of another’s race,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore. “The defendant’s egregious actions were unlawful, and as this sentencing demonstrates, will not go without punishment. The Civil Rights Division will continue to vigorously prosecute those who commit violent acts of hate.” 

“This defendant was part of a reprehensible scheme that targeted an entire class of people simply because of skin color,” said U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna. “The Justice Department is committed to preserving and protecting everyone’s civil rights – particularly when violent acts are used to violate those rights. Mr. Cambero attempted to avoid prosecution for many years, but we persisted to bring him to justice and send a message to the entire community that this type of conduct will not be tolerated and will be punished.”

2…………> Trump’s ICE Broom: Castalia, Ohio 

ICE agents arrested 114 people at an Ohio landscaping company, in one of the largest such stings in recent years at two locations of Corso’s Flower & Garden Center – one in Sandusky and the other in Castalia. 

No criminal charges have been filed against Corso’s, but the company is under investigation. Walls says the agency expects criminal charges including tax evasion and identity theft. Agents seized a large volume of business documents from the employer, Walls says. 

The sting is a part of the Trump administration’s focus on employers, which was enforced about a year after the president took office. 

ICE’s investigation into Corso’s began in October 2017. The U.S. Border Patrol arrested a woman who gave stolen identity documents to job applications who were in the country illegally, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations unit head Steve Francis. 

ICE ended up learning some of the documents contained Social Security numbers of dead people. Of the 313 employees whose records were investigated, 123 were determined to be suspicious and targeted for arrest.

3…………> Establishment GOP: David Koch

One half owner Koch Industries Inc., the 2nd largest privately owned company in the US who is the sole shareholder of the so-called “Establishment” GOP party and a sworn detractor of President Trump, conservative billionaire industrialist David Koch is retiring from his position in the company and associated subsidiaries due to poor health, 

The brothers said they would launch a multi-million-dollar campaign to oppose his tariffs, and to champion free trade: i.e. continue the policies of Unified Party USA to print money and export American wealth and industry overseas. 

The Kochs, who have channeled billions of dollars into conservative causes, kept their distance from Mr. Trump during the 2016 presidential election. 

Charles Koch spoke out against Mr. Trump’s proposed Muslim registry, and the brothers also strongly support legislation that seeks to protect “Dreamers” — people brought illegally to the United States as children — from deportation. 

David Koch, 78, along with his elder brother Charles, has been a force in American politics since the 1980s.

4…………> Belt & Road Satellite: China 

China launched the new Fengyun-2H meteorological satellite to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting and provide better meteorological services to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. 

Equipped with a scanning radiometer and space environment monitor, Fengyun-2H will provide real-time cloud and water vapor images and space weather information to clients in the Asia-Pacific region, said Wei Caiying, chief commander of the ground application system of Fengyun-2H and deputy director of the National Satellite Meteorological Center. 

In response to a request from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO), the position of Fengyun-2H will be changed from original 86.5 degrees east longitude to 79 degrees east longitude, meaning that will be able to cover all the territory of China, as well as countries along the Belt and Road, the Indian Ocean and most African countries, according to the CNSA. 

The adjustment will enable the Fengyun series satellites to acquire meteorological data over a wider range, improve weather forecasting accuracy and the ability to cope with climate change and mitigate losses caused by natural disasters,
