'Pizzagate’ gunman killed by police in North Carolina after traffic stop
Several. However, this is the wrong forum section to talk about it. Maybe I will start a topic in the "Off the Beaten Track" section if I have time in the near future. -

Here's what happens when the world's richest man buys the presidency
Don't stop at the US. The entire western world is divided and in conflict between the dark forces of wokeism and those that want nothing to do with mickey duck climate theories, proxy wars, gender insanity and various social experiments, all while controlled by a tiny number of those with far too much money. IMO the entire West is doomed to repeat the Romans last days.- 1

Britons Overwhelmingly Support a New Grooming Gang Inquiry
A significant majority of Britons favor a fresh national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal, according to a recent YouGov survey. The poll reveals that more than three-quarters of the public support calls for a thorough investigation, escalating pressure on political leaders to address the issue comprehensively. The survey, commissioned by the Women’s Policy Centre, found that 76 percent of respondents advocate for a new inquiry into the systemic sexual abuse of children by grooming gangs. This sentiment transcends political affiliations, with nearly two-thirds of Labour voters, 84 percent of Conservative supporters, and a striking 91 percent of Reform party backers expressing support. In contrast, only 13 percent of adults agree with the Government’s stance that no further investigation is necessary. Among Labour voters, just one in five shares this view, signaling a disconnect between party leadership and its base. The poll’s findings emerge amidst a heated political debate. Labour MPs recently opposed a Conservative proposal in the House of Commons aimed at initiating a national inquiry. This opposition comes despite mounting calls for action, including vocal advocacy from Andy Burnham, the Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester. Burnham has urged the Government to consider a “limited national inquiry” to address the issue. However, his appeals have been met with resistance from senior Labour figures, including Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy. “I wouldn’t of course ever rule out any further inquiries at all,” she told Sky News, but maintained her opposition to Burnham’s suggestion. Meanwhile, Labour veteran Baroness Harriet Harman has proposed a targeted approach, suggesting a “mini-inquiry” to examine how council workers and police can better handle race and ethnicity-related challenges. She highlighted the challenges faced by individuals such as Ann Cryer, a former Labour MP, who faced accusations of racism when addressing sensitive issues like forced marriage and grooming gangs. “The question is how people actually deal with this,” Baroness Harman said, emphasizing the need for nuanced solutions. The issue has also gained attention outside traditional political circles. Tech billionaire Elon Musk, a prominent figure on social media platform X, has repeatedly spotlighted the scandal, intensifying public discourse. Paola Diana, chair of the Women’s Policy Centre, emphasized the urgency of the matter. She stated, “The poll proves the demands for a fresh inquiry are a national issue of huge concern.” The widespread public support underscores the need for a comprehensive response, one that addresses past failures while ensuring systemic changes to prevent future abuses. As the debate continues, the Government faces growing pressure to heed the overwhelming public demand for accountability and reform. The question remains whether political leaders can align their actions with the public’s expectations to address this deeply troubling issue.

Politicians Must Address the Ethnicity of Grooming Gangs, Says Whistleblower’s Aide
Mark Taylor, a former personal assistant to Ann Cryer, the MP who first exposed grooming gangs in 2002, has expressed concern over the lack of open discussion about the ethnicity of the perpetrators. Taylor believes that this absence of dialogue has created a "vacuum" now being filled by figures like Elon Musk. Taylor, who served as Cryer’s aide from 2001 to 2008, stated that politicians have consistently failed to tackle the problem adequately, both in the past and present. "When Ann tried to confront this in 2002, the politicians were just not grasping the problem, and nor are they doing so now," Taylor said. Cryer, who represented Keighley, West Yorkshire, was approached by several mothers in distress, claiming that their daughters were being groomed by British-Pakistani men near school gates. When Cryer challenged the police and social services, who initially refused to act, she faced harsh criticism, was labeled a racist, and even faced opposition from within her own party. The issue only garnered serious attention after investigative journalist Andrew Norfolk published a series of exposés in *The Times* starting in January 2011. The police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) then began to address the scandal. Taylor voiced his worry that the work done to counteract the influence of far-right figures like Nick Griffin and the British National Party (BNP) might be undone. "There is now a vacuum that the right and people like [Elon] Musk are going to fill. There is still the feeling that things are unfair," he said, stressing the need for open discussions on immigration and its impacts. While affirming he is not against immigration, Taylor pointed out the need to acknowledge both positive and negative consequences of concentrated immigrant communities in towns and cities. "It’s about being able to have open discussion. We’re not knocking [immigration], we’re just trying to work out the good bits and the bad bits," he explained. Andrew Norfolk shared similar sentiments, criticizing the national inquiry into child sex abuse for avoiding the core issues that enabled grooming gangs to thrive. He emphasized that true eradication of such abuse requires thorough research into the intersections of religion, culture, and social cohesion. Cryer’s son, Lord Cryer, commended his mother for her courage in speaking out and highlighted the threats she had received as recently as five years ago, reinforcing the ongoing challenges in addressing these sensitive issues.

Giorgia Meloni Asserts George Soros Is More Dangerous in Politics Than Elon Musk
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has directed criticism toward George Soros, asserting that the long-time financier and philanthropist poses a greater threat in European politics than Elon Musk. In her remarks, Meloni argued that Musk merely expresses opinions, while Soros actively finances political entities. During a discussion about her association with Musk, Meloni stated that Soros’s financial involvement in political matters constitutes dangerous interference. "Musk does not go around financing parties, associations, and politicians like George Soros. Yes, that is a dangerous interference in the affairs and sovereignty of nation states. But when it happens, it is called philanthropy," Meloni remarked. For years, Soros, 94, has been a target for hard-right movements in Europe and the US, who accuse him of promoting open borders and financing migration. Before becoming Italy's prime minister in 2022, Meloni was vocal about her belief that migration undermines European cultures and serves the interests of financiers like Soros. "When you are a slave, you act in Soros’ interests," she declared in the Italian parliament in 2018. Meloni’s views align with the "great replacement" theory, a concept popular among the US right, which claims that native populations are being replaced by migrants. However, since assuming office, Meloni has stepped back from linking migration to a Soros-led conspiracy, leaving such notions to her deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini. Meloni’s association with Musk has been a topic of interest, particularly as she describes him as a "genius" and he has complimented her by saying she is "more beautiful on the inside than on the outside." At a recent press conference, Meloni revisited her critique of Soros’ financial contributions to political causes when questioned about Musk's influence in European politics. She did not address reports that Musk had considered donating to Nigel Farage’s Reform Party last year, although the plan may have been derailed by Musk’s critical stance on Farage. While Meloni did voice a rare criticism of Musk, responding to his derogatory description of British minister Jess Phillips as an "evil witch," she noted that such language is part of the political landscape. "Do you want a list of the epithets aimed at me by influential people on social media in recent years?" she asked. George Soros was approached for comment on Meloni’s statements.

Kim Porter's Diary Allegations Resurface Suspicious Circumstances Surrounding Her Death
Kim Porter, the late model, actress, and long-time partner of rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, is once again at the center of controversy as claims resurface about a diary she allegedly kept detailing troubling aspects of her relationship with the music icon. Rapper Al B. Sure!, Porter's former partner and father of one of her children, has made explosive allegations in a new documentary, *Diddy: Making of a Bad Boy*, set to premiere on Peacock. Sure! asserts that Porter was compiling damning evidence about Diddy’s personal life in the years leading up to her sudden death in 2018. He believes her death, officially ruled as pneumonia by the coroner, is suspicious. "What I do know is that before her death she was keeping a diary," Sure! claims in the documentary. "Someone got the passcode to her phone and computer and found out what was writing, what was going on behind closed doors." Porter, who was just 47 years old when she passed, had been in an on-and-off relationship with Diddy from 1994 until their final split in 2007. Together, they shared three children: Christian "King" Combs and twin daughters Jessie and D'Lila. Diddy also became a father figure to Porter's son, Quincy Brown, from her previous relationship with Sure!. Despite their split, Porter and Diddy maintained a close connection until her death, which sparked widespread conspiracy theories due to her seemingly good health. DailyMail.com previously reported on what was purported to be Porter's diary, titled *Kim's Lost Words*, a 60-page manuscript alleging lurid details about Diddy’s private life. It included claims of violent episodes, philandering, and even tapes involving inappropriate behavior with young musicians. While the existence of the diary has been vehemently denied by Porter's children, including Quincy, Sure! suggests in the documentary that Porter was preparing to expose Diddy. "She began to confide in me," Sure! says in the film. "She said something's not right. His soul has gone completely dark like he's just not there. She made me promise on her son's life not to ever reveal anything because she was in complete fear of my life." He goes on to suggest that her sudden illness and subsequent death may have been connected to her alleged intentions to reveal Diddy’s secrets. "Before her death, she was going to do what Ventura did with her lawsuit—blowing the lid off this entire situation," Sure! adds, referencing another high-profile case involving accusations against Diddy. The alleged diary includes disturbing claims about Porter's discovery of incriminating tapes involving Diddy and other individuals, some of whom were under his management. One purported entry recounts Porter falling ill and dramatically texting her friends with the cryptic message, "He got me," before calling 911. Porter’s family, including her children and an attorney representing Diddy, have firmly denied the existence of the diary and dismissed the claims as a "horrific conspiracy theory." In an Instagram post, Quincy Brown labeled the allegations as baseless and false, stating, "This is not the way we honor her legacy." Diddy has consistently denied any involvement in Porter's death or the allegations surrounding it. Despite the official determination of pneumonia as her cause of death, the controversy and speculation continue to cast a shadow over her legacy and the circumstances surrounding her passing.

Alec Baldwin Files Lawsuit, Calling Himself a ‘Scapegoat’ in ‘Rust’ Case
Alec Baldwin has taken legal action against New Mexico prosecutors and law enforcement officials, accusing them of malicious prosecution, suppression of evidence, and defamation. This follows the dismissal of criminal charges against him in July 2024 related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the 2021 film *Rust*. In a 73-page lawsuit filed Thursday in New Mexico’s First Judicial District, Baldwin’s legal team alleges that the prosecutors were “blinded by their desire to convict Alec Baldwin for all the wrong reasons, and at any cost.” The actor contends that the state’s pursuit of charges against him, including involuntary manslaughter, was marked by significant misconduct, including the withholding of key evidence. The incident at the heart of the case occurred during the filming of *Rust*, a Western in which Baldwin was both the lead actor and a producer. A revolver Baldwin was handling, which he believed contained dummy rounds, discharged on set, killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. While Baldwin denied any wrongdoing from the outset, the case gained national attention. In April, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the film's armorer responsible for overseeing the weapon, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison. However, Baldwin’s charges were dropped by a New Mexico judge, who determined that prosecutors had withheld evidence from his defense team. The lawsuit names several defendants, including special prosecutor Kari Morrissey, District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altweis, and Andrea Reeb, the first special prosecutor initially appointed to the case who was later elected to the New Mexico State House. Baldwin’s legal team accuses these officials of engaging in “intentional concealment of exculpatory evidence and then lying from the witness stand during trial about their coverup.” “Although no verdict in this civil case can undo the trauma the state’s threat of conviction and incarceration has inflicted, Alec Baldwin has filed this action to hold defendants responsible for their appalling violations of the laws that governed their work,” Baldwin’s attorneys wrote in the lawsuit. The actor’s legal team further argues that prosecutors should not be shielded by immunity typically granted to public employees acting within their official capacity. The lawsuit challenges the legal protections provided under New Mexico law, asserting that the actions of the prosecutors went far beyond their scope of duty. As Baldwin seeks accountability for what he describes as a deeply flawed prosecution, the lawsuit underscores his ongoing contention that he was unjustly targeted in the case. For Baldwin, this legal action represents not only an effort to clear his name but also a stand against what his attorneys call a miscarriage of justice. Based on a report by Daily Beast 2024-01-11
