The Russian National is accused by U.S. authorities of running an online Cybercrime market.
BANGKOK — Police in Thailand announced Friday they have arrested a Russian national accused by U.S. authorities of running an online cybercrime marketplace where everything from stolen credit card information to hardware for compromising ATM machines could be purchased.
Police said that Sergey Medvedev was arrested at his Bangkok apartment on Feb. 2 at the request of U.S. authorities.
The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday announced indictments against 36 people accused of being active in the Infraud Organization – founded in 2010 and operated under the slogan “In Fraud We Trust” – which was an anonymous online forum that the department described as a “one-stop shop for cybercriminals.” It said it had nearly 11,000 members who traded more than 4.3 million credit cards, debit cards and bank accounts worldwide, leading to losses of more than $530 million for legitimate users and businesses.
The U.S. indictment described Medvedev, 31, as the group’s co-founder along with Svyatoslav Bondarenko, and said he had operated a payment system for the forum’s members. It said Medvedev became the website’s owner and administrator when Bondarenko went missing in 2015.
Thai Police Maj. Nuthapong Rattanamongkolsak, the arresting officer, said U.S. officials had tracked the group for several years but only recently started to make arrests.
“Before the operation could be ready, they had to recheck their targets in various countries,” Nutthapong said, adding that the case against the Infraud Organization began in 2014 when a U.S. Homeland Security officer sent an undercover agent to sign up as a member of the Dark Web forum.
On Thursday, 13 of the wanted persons were taken into custody across the globe, including in California, New York and Alabama. Suspects arrested in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, Kosovo and Serbia are awaiting extradition.
Medvedev will be extradited to face prosecution in the U.S., Nutthapong said.
A Thai police statement said they seized 29 electronic items from Medvedev’s Bangkok apartment, while the Infraud Organization’s main servers were seized Tuesday in Paris.
The police statement said officers were able to arrest Medvedev by performing stakeouts, behavioral analyses, and by investigating his online activity.
Nutthapong said Thai police are tracking several other similar online syndicates.
Last year, Thai authorities arrested the alleged operator of Alphabay, a massive Dark Web marketplace where illicit items such as narcotics and guns could be sold or purchased by anyone, unlike Infraud, which vetted its members. The alleged Alphabay administrator, 26-year-old Canadian Alexandre Cazes, was found dead in his Thai prison cell shortly after his arrest, a suicide by hanging, according to Thai police.
For those that do not know who Q anon is, please watch the first video of these series of videos. Actually Q anon is giving us, the American people all the tips: clues for us to do our due diligence of finding out who our enemies are, and what is taking place here in our country and worldwide, and since the common media do not report the truth, except for Alex Jones that is doing NOW a good job reporting Q! Go Alex!
WE the people are doing a universal clean up… no exceptions… For now keep being educated, and pray! Pray…
….YES president Donald Trump is in our team! And so is our military: HATJ.
Fear NOT. The corporal terrorist’s enterprise game is OVER. We are coming to your county and arrest all one by one… starting with the county clerk, and the corporal county sheriff, and along with the corporal courts staff in your neighborhood.
Guantanamo is waiting for them for all the hideous known crimes committed to our people, inclusive that of killing our children, = human trafficking, promoting sexual immorality, and mortgage fraud.
Meanwhile entertain yourselves with the thread of resignations…, these does not include previous years, that were more specifically that of bankers= or killed. ALL together, we are certain they could not continue any longer committing treason against the people, isn’t it? Translation: Siphoning our money, = energy from the people’s owned private accounts, killing our people, and destroying our planet, along with the talmudicdemonsjewishconsforeignagents BAR members that are the main perpetrators for the criminal terrorists enterprise world wide. Fuckwits: Link: Notable Resignations – Thread: https://8ch.net/cbts/res/146483.html – Please help and post more Info in this thread. Thx!
We believe you will love Q! Have fun watching these videos, and by all means follow these people that are bringing us the latest update…
Stay away from any vaccinations unless is vital. Educate yourselves about the fact that we are being the victims of the demons in human form that wants to destroy humanity, and the medical field is part of it. Fucking read, and have courage for protecting yourself and your family!
Further, TAMIFLU is detrimental to our children, It’s effects are that of brain disorders…
Can we ever believe what our government tells us about airport security devices?
Apparently not. First they told us those X-ray scanners (that showed way too many naked body parts) were perfectly safe.
Even the manufacturer of the device, Rapidscan, openly admitted the scanners had not been adequately tested. The truth was later revealed that the safety tests turned out to be totally rigged, as reported by Natural News.
With fabricated results, the technology was quickly rushed into every airport worldwide. No one listened to what the scientists in the field of radiation were trying to tell them – it’s not safe.
It wasn’t until the backscatter radiation levels the scanners were putting off began showing an increased incidence of cancer in TSA agents (along with the lawsuits that quickly followed), that the devices were finally yanked. The TSA quickly scrambled for another solution.
Now they also want us to believe that the replacement technology, millimeter wave “digital strip search” scanners, are also “perfectly safe”.
Don’t believe it for a second. The TSA failed to adequately test these devices for health and safety factors as well. Unfortunately, in today’s world, security trumps human safety.
These millimeter wave technologies are designed to bombard innocent travelers with high frequency energy particles known as terahertz photons.
A study conducted by Boian S. Alexandrov et.al. at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, revealed that these terahertz waves could “…unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication.”
In other words, this study is the smoking gun that raises serious concerns about the impact of terahertz radiation upon fertility, fetal development, and cancer.
Now think about the thousands of people who are subjected to these levels of untested energy particles every day in the name of “National Security”.
The military’s Active Denial weapon uses millimeter wave technology to create an intense burning sensation on the skin’s surface using a 95 GHz (3.2mm wavelength) beam.
But the TSA tells us not to worry about their millimeter waves because:
“Millimeter wave technology bounces harmless electromagnetic waves off the body to create the same generic image for all passengers.”
This is completely inaccurate because the nature of millimeter waves is that our bodies and water are excellent absorbers of these waves. Millimeter waves do penetrate and absorb into our skin.
At the microwave technology center in Malaysia, health subjects were exposed to microwave radiation between 20 — 38 GHz, the range in which the TSA scanners operate.
They found that millimeter waves penetrated the subject’s skin at depths of between 1.05 mm at 20 GHz to 0.78 mm at 38 GHz. This is enough to penetrate below the epidermal layer of the skin.
Millimeter waves have been reported to produce a variety of bioeffects, many of which are quite unexpected from radiation penetrated less than 1 mm into biological tissues.
Of particular concern is the citing of studies that show there is an irreversible water memory effect by millimeter waves operating in the 36GHz frequency, and that the millimeter wave effects on blood plasma vary greatly from one person to the next.
Does this information make you extremely uncomfortable? Well, it should. And it should also make every one of us mad as hell.
Since the day they first rolled out these human violation technologies in 2007, I have always chosen to “opt out”. I would rather endure the intrusive body pat down any day than subject myself to covert DNA alteration.
So what if it takes an additional 5-15 minutes of your time getting to your gate? It’s time to exercise your own personal body health consciousness, since the US government has clearly demonstrated they don’t possess any qualms about not protecting you.
Alternation of DNA can be subtle and deadly down the line. Who would ever make the connection that a TSA scanning machine might have contributed to any negative health effects you eventually experience.
If you are a frequent air traveler, like myself, you should be concerned about your levels of exposure. If you’re a TSA agent, you should find another job.
This past weekend as I was trying to make a flight back to Los Angeles from the Columbia, South Carolina Airport, I did my usual “opt out” thing. The TSA agents from this little backwater airport tried to feed me the propaganda line about “minimal risk.”
I told them I’d read the studies and they needed to be better informed. They looked at me blankly trying to tell me it was just like using a cell phone. Not true.
The millimeter wave scanners the TSA operates put out more than 20 billion times more oscillations per second in smaller terahertz waves, so the cellular effects will be different from cell phones.
I’m sure no one ever told TSA agents this, but they feed the same lies back to the people that they’ve been told, so I tried to be more forgiving.
I’m sure no one had requested an opt out for some time in this South Carolina airport, which is why I got the pat down of all pat downs.
The female agent made sure to give me karate chops straight up to my private parts twice in the back and then another two times in the front. Totally unnecessary. She kneaded my waist in a strange manner, grabbing hold of any loose skin she could find.
I have had hundreds of pat downs over the years, and no one, I mean no one, has ever been as intrusive as this TSA agent.
My first instinct was to tell her how inappropriate she was being, then I remembered how I would most likely be punished for my non-sheep-like behavior and not be allowed to make my flight.
During the procedure she also sniffled and sneezed, spreading her germ warfare all over me through out the entire security grope session.
I think we have all had enough of this undignified treatment in the name of security. It’s already been proven that these scanner devices and intrusive pat downs have not made our world any safer from terrorists.
Airport security testers have snuck through everything from guns to explosives, clearly proving their ineffectiveness. Metal detectors should be sufficient enough.
If everyone opted out of the scanner, the whole program would eventually fall apart. The lines of opt outs would be so long it would bring the air travel industry to a standstill.
It would also send a clear message that unsafe devices are not going to be tolerated. Take the extra time and just do it — opt out. If you love yourself, than you owe it to yourself.
Now I’m already ahead of you on what you’re thinking — that they’ll just suspend all our civil liberties and make it mandatory to go through the scanners whether we want to or not.
Well, I would like to believe that they would be flooded with lawsuits if they did, but there’s an even easier solution. Go to a medical supply store and buy a cheap inexpensive arm sling and put it on before going through TSA.
If you can’t hold both arms up over your head while in their scanner, it renders the results totally unusable. They know this and have to let you opt out for medical reasons. The sheeple are getting smarter. Afterall, life is all about how you handle Plan B.
When asked, Dr. Robert Gallo explained: “We were forced To Create The HIV Virus As a Secret Weapon To Wipe Out The African Race.”
Dr. Robert Gallo
In April 1984, Dr. Robert Gallo filed a United States patent application for his invention, the HIV/AIDS Virus. Normally, when a patent is filed and approved, as Dr. Gallo’s was, anyone who uses the product or invention owes a royalty payment to the inventor. Thus, holding the intellectual property laws to their fullest interpretations, one must only wonder why Dr. Gallo has yet to file a lawsuit seeking to recover damages from the usage of his invention? As odd as this scenario may sound, it bears need for additional scrutiny.
The scientific evidence is complete and compelling, the AIDS Virus is a designer bi-product of the U.S. Special Virus program. The Special Virus program was a federal virus development program that persisted in the United States from 1962 until 1978. The U.S. Special Virus was then added as ‘compliment’ to vaccine inoculations in Africa and Manhattan. Shortly thereafter the world was overwhelmed with mass infections of a human retrovirus that differed from any known human disease, it was highly contagious and more importantly, it could kill.
A review of the Special Virus Flow Chart (“research logic”) reveals the United States was seeking a ‘virus particle’ that would negatively impact the defense mechanisms of the immune system. The program sought to modify the genome of the virus particle in which to splice in an animal “wasting disease” called “Visna”.
According to the Proceedings of the United States of America, AIDS is an evolutionary, laboratory development of the peculiar Visna Virus, first detected in Icelandic sheep. Recently, American and world scientists confirm with 100% certainty the laboratory genesis of AIDS. This fact is further underscored when one reviews the ‘multiply-spliced’ nature of the HIV ‘tat’ gene and Dr. Gallo’s 1971 Special Virus paper, “Reverse Transcriptase of Type-C virus Particles of Human Origin”.
Dr. Gallo’s 1971 Special Virus paper is identical to his 1984 announcement of AIDS. Upon further review the record reveals that he filed his patent on AIDS, before he made the announcement with Secretary Heckler. Earlier this year, Dr. Gallo conceded his role as a ‘Project Officer’ for the federal virus development program, the Special Virus.
The Flow Chart of the program and the 15 progress reports are irrefutable evidence of the United States’ secret plan to cull world populations via the unleashing of a stealth biological microorganism that would ‘waste’ humanity. In light of this true genesis of the world’s most divesting biological scourge, it is the United States that owes ‘royal’ payments to the innocent victims. Each and every victim of AIDS is deserving of a formal apology and a sense of economic closure for an invention of death and despair, perpetrated by the United States.
The eyes of the world are upon the General Accounting Office’s Health Care Team, under the direction of William J. Scanlon. Between 1964 and 1978, the secret federal virus program spent $550 million dollars of taxpayer money to invent AIDS. It is now necessary to spend whatever it takes to dismantle an invention that has led to the greatest crime against humanity in the history of the world.
When an atrocious expose or a revelation of this magnitude is released to the public, one would expect world leaders to come out and summon emergency meeting to investigate the veracity of such claim. Not when it involves the oppressors, the set of leaders that thrive in double standards. They preach human right without respect for human life, they use the same human right to invade sovereign nations with fabricated lies to kill hapless women and children just to settle political scores, only to apologise when the truth is unravel. If such atrocity happens in less developed countries, the same hypocrite will start to shouts war crimes to high heaven and want the person prosecuted in The Hague.
SO much is going on with a short memo that has been released to the public in which members of the intelligence community was breaking all the rules of law. However, this is not the real Memo the American people are waiting for, although this short memo is for a fact reveling none the less. Some people are really in trouble….
The real memo is a 1.2 million pages held as evidence for all the crimes ever known committed to humanity by Federal employees, the BAR, FBI, CIA, UN, the banks, and starting from the local corporal agents as the police to the highest as politicians [ senators: worldwide dignitaries: CEOS: religious church associates, “no exception,” etc. ].
Here is a quote from Michael Horowitz: “Well actually the memo is a distraction, the real gusto lies with the 1.2 million documents of evidence the IG has. That is the reason McCabe stepped down not the memo. Flynn exposed Fisa not Dunes!#WAGTHEDOG.”
With this being said, we the American people want out the real MEMO! Enough with the deception!
WE also will like to make notice that On February 1, 2018 was officially the DAY of ending slavery within the United States of America, and the entire planet! Remember this DAY! We are FREE! AND keep in mind that the storm is ON+ [ 13th Amendment, = fact].
FURTHER, it is no coincidence that in 1865 Abraham Lincoln signed a joint Resolution that proposed the 13th Amendment! The Amendment was made to outlaw slavery within our country. READ: “National Freedom Day commemorates the date – February 1, 1865 – when Abraham Lincoln, who was the nation’s president at the time, signed a joint resolution that proposed the 13th amendment to the United States Constitution. The amendment was made to outlaw slavery and was ratified on December 18, 1865.”
FOR now Just keep cool, calm, and collect because we already won the war. Right now we are making sure the little minions: the last rats are also GONE with the Wind…
AND it is no coincidence that the DOW JONES are down 600 points… Could this be a Black Friday going into history for date of 02/02/18? You Bet.
Below is the Short Memo released on 02/2/18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the full text of Rep. Devin Nunes’ four-page memo, released Friday
Purpose
This memorandum provides Members an update on significant facts relating to the Committee’s ongoing investigation into the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and their use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) during the 2016 presidential cycle. Our findings, which are detailed below, 1) raise concerns with the legitimacy and legality of certain DOJ and FBI interactions with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), and 2) represent a troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the FISA process.
Investigation Update
On October 21, 2016, DOJ and FBI sought and received a FISA probable cause order (not under Title VII) authorizing electronic surveillance on Carter Page from the FISC. Page is a U.S. Citizen who served as a volunteer advisor to the Trump presidential campaign. Consistent with requirements under FISA, the application had to be first certified by the Director or Deputy Director of the FBI. It then required the approval of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General (DAG), or the Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division.
The FBI and DOJ obtained one initial FISA warrant targeting Carter Page and three FISA renewals from the FISC. As required by statute (50 U.S.C. §1805(d)(1)), a FISA order on an American citizen must be renewed by the FISC every 90 days and each renewal requires a separate finding of probable cause. Then-Director James Comey signed three FISA applications in question on behalf of the FBI, and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe signed one. Then-DAG Sally Yates, then-Acting DAG Dana Boente, and DAG Rod Rosenstein each signed one or more FISA applications on behalf of DOJ.
Due to the sensitive nature of foreign intelligence activity, FISA submissions (including renewals) before the FISC are classified. As such, the public’s confidence in the integrity of the FISA process depends on the court’s ability to hold the government to the highest standard — particularly as it relates to surveillance of American citizens. However, the FISC’s rigor in protecting the rights of Americans, which is reinforced by 90-day renewals of surveillance orders, is necessarily dependent on the government’s production to the court of all material and relevant facts. This should include information potentially favorable to the target of the FISA application that is known by the government. In the case of Carter Page, the government had at least four independent opportunities before the FISC to accurately provide an accounting of the relevant facts. However, our findings indicate that, as described below, material and relevant information was omitted.
1) The “dossier” compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Steele was a longtime FBI source who was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie and research firm Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.
a) Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party/campaign in funding Steele’s efforts, even though the political origins of the Steele dossier were then known to senior DOJ and FBI officials.
b) The initial FISA application notes Steel was working for a named U.S. person, but does not name Fusion GPS and principal Glenn Simpson, who was paid by a U.S. law firm (Perkins Coie) representing the DNC (even though it was known by the DOJ at the time that political actors were involved with the Steele dossier.) The application does not mention Steele was ultimately working on behalf of — and paid by — the DNC and Clinton campaign, or that the FBI had separately authorized payment to Steele for the same information.
2) The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016, Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Pages’ July 2016 trip to Moscow. This article does not corroborate the Steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself to Yahoo News. The Page FISA application incorrectly assesses that Steele did not directly provide information to Yahoo News. Steele has admitted in British court filings that he met with Yahoo News — and several other outlets — in September 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS. Perkins Coie was aware of Steele’s initial media contacts because they hosted at least one meeting in Washington D.C. in 2016 with Steel and Fusion GPS where this matter was discussed.
a) Steele was suspended and then terminated as an FBI source for what the FBI defines as the most serious of violations — an unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI in an October 30, 2016, Mother Jones article by David Corn. Steele should have been terminated for his previous undisclosed contacts with Yahoo and other outlets in September — before the Page application was submitted to the FISC in October — but Steele improperly concealed from and lied to the FBI about those contacts.
b) Steele’s numerous encounters with the media violated the cardinal rule of source handling — maintaining confidentiality — and demonstrated that Steele had become a less than reliable source for the FBI.
3) Before and after Steele was terminated as a source, he maintained contact with DOJ via then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, a senior DOJ official who worked closely with Deputy Attorneys General Yates and later Rosenstein. Shortly after the election, the FBI began interviewing Ohr, documenting his communications with Steele. For example, in September 2016, Steele admitted to Ohr his feelings against then-candidate Trump when Steele said he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president.” This clear evidence of Steele’s bias was recorded by Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files — but not reflected in any of the Page FISA applications.
a) During this same time period, Ohr’s wife was employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Ohr later provided the FBI with all of his wife’s opposition research, paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign via Fusion GPS. The Ohrs’ relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS was inexplicable concealed from the FISC.
4) According to the head of the FBI’s counterintelligence division, Assistant Director Bill Priestap, corroboration of the Steele dossier was in its “infancy” at the time of the initial Page FISA application. After Steele was terminated, a source validation report conducted by an independent unit within FBI assessed Steele’s reporting as only minimally corroborated. Yet, in early January 2017, Director Comey briefed President-elect Trump on a summary of the Steele dossier, even though it was — according to his June 2017 testimony — “salacious and unverified.” While the FISA application relied on Steele’s past record of credible reporting on other unrelated matters, it ignored or concealed his anti-Trump financial and ideological motivations. Furthermore, Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in December 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information.
5) The Page FISA application also mentions information regarding fellow Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos, but there is no evidence of any cooperation or conspiracy between Page and Papadopoulos. The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok. Strzok was reassigned by the Special Counsel’s Office to FBI Human Resources for improper text messages with his mistress, FBI Attorney Lisa Page (no known relation to Carter Page), where they both demonstrated a clear bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton, whom Strzok had also investigated. The Strzok/Lisa Page texts also reflect extensive discussions about the investigation, orchestrating leaks to the media, and include a meeting with Deputy Director McCabe to discuss an “insurance” policy against President Trump’s election. END.
FOR now keep being inform with the latest Intel- Report, = video below:
AND for your American spirit take time to watch this video about the real story for our National Anthem. Get your tissues ready … Go Patriots! FREEDOM for all our people!
President Donald J. Trump Protects America Through Lawful Detention of Terrorists
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Findings. (a) Consistent with long-standing law of war principles and applicable law, the United States may detain certain persons captured in connection with an armed conflict for the duration of the conflict.
(b) Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) and other authorities authorized the United States to detain certain persons who were a part of or substantially supported al-Qa’ida, the Taliban, or associated forces engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners. Today, the United States remains engaged in an armed conflict with al‑Qa’ida, the Taliban, and associated forces, including with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
(c) The detention operations at the U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay are legal, safe, humane, and conducted consistent with United States and international law.
(d) Those operations are continuing given that a number of the remaining individuals at the detention facility are being prosecuted in military commissions, while others must be detained to protect against continuing, significant threats to the security of the United States, as determined by periodic reviews.
(e) Given that some of the current detainee population represent the most difficult and dangerous cases from among those historically detained at the facility, there is significant reason for concern regarding their reengagement in hostilities should they have the opportunity.
Sec. 2. Status of Detention Facilities at U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay. (a) Section 3 of Executive Order 13492 of January 22, 2009 (Review and Disposition of Individuals Detained at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base and Closure of Detention Facilities), ordering the closure of detention facilities at U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay, is hereby revoked.
(b) Detention operations at U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay shall continue to be conducted consistent with all applicable United States and international law, including the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005.
(c) In addition, the United States may transport additional detainees to U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay when lawful and necessary to protect the Nation.
(d) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense shall, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, and the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies as determined by the Secretary of Defense, recommend policies to the President regarding the disposition of individuals captured in connection with an armed conflict, including policies governing transfer of individuals to U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay.
(e) Unless charged in or subject to a judgment of conviction by a military commission, any detainees transferred to U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay after the date of this order shall be subject to the procedures for periodic review established in Executive Order 13567 of March 7, 2011 (Periodic Review of Individuals Detained at Guantánamo Bay Naval Station Pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force), to determine whether continued law of war detention is necessary to protect against a significant threat to the security of the United States.
Sec. 3. Rules of Construction. (a) Nothing in this order shall prevent the Secretary of Defense from transferring any individual away from the U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay when appropriate, including to effectuate an order affecting the disposition of that individual issued by a court or competent tribunal of the United States having lawful jurisdiction.
(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful permanent residents of the United States, or any persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.
(c) Nothing in this order shall prevent the Attorney General from, as appropriate, investigating, detaining, and prosecuting a terrorist subject to the criminal laws and jurisdiction of the United States.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
January 30, 2018.
~~~~
FACT SHEETS
When it comes to terrorism, we will do whatever is necessary to protect our nation.
President Donald J. Trump
KEEPING AMERICA SAFE: President Trump is fulfilling his commitment to use all available tools to defeat terrorism and protect the United States homeland and its interests abroad.
The President has signed an executive order on “Protecting America Through Lawful Detention Of Terrorists.”
The Executive Order accomplishes the following:
Revokes the section of the previous administration’s Executive Order ordering the closing of the detention facilities at U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (GTMO);
Affirms that the United States maintains the option to detain additional enemy combatants at GTMO when necessary;
Requires the Secretary of Defense to recommend criteria to the President for determining disposition outcomes of individuals the United States captures in connection with armed conflict, including criteria for transfer to GTMO; and
Highlights that the existing periodic review process would be used to determine whether continued detention is necessary for any future GTMO detainees.
KEEPING AMERICA PREPARED: President Trump understands the threats that still face the U.S. and pose a threat to its citizens.
Today, the United States remains engaged in an armed conflict with al-Qa’ida, the Taliban, and associated forces, including with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The President maintains authority to detain certain persons as part of his Constitutional powers as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive and those provided by the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) of September 18, 2001.
The AUMF authorizes the United States to detain certain persons who are part of or provide substantial support to al-Qa’ida, the Taliban, or associated forces engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners.
Decisions regarding the disposition of captured terrorists will be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account legal requirements and the facts of each case.
The Executive Order would preserve military detention as a counterterrorism tool by maintaining the detention facilities at U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (GTMO), Cuba, and stating unequivocally that the United States reserves the right to detain terrorists under the law of armed conflict.
KEEPING THE THREAT AT BAY: The President’s new action is vital to preserving the tools and capabilities necessary to end the terror threat.
The Executive Order preserves a vital tool to protect the United States and its citizens from continuing significant threats.
The detention of enemies captured in an armed conflict is a lawful and necessary tool of warfighting that must continue to be available to the United States.
More than one hundred detainees released from the Guantanamo Bay facilities have reengaged in combat, and some have killed Coalition and American citizens.
This picture above is despicable. This picture is the downfall of our humanity, because if we do not protect our children, we have failed as a humanity: as a society. The former corporal system: judges, the BAR, and the local corporal sheriffs: their corporal police are to blame for these atrocities, locally, and everywhere within our country. Every town can see everyday the Local SHERIFF buses carrying our children and our people from jail to jail, town to town without any remorse, and as if we, the people are nothing more than a tool for making money, AKA jailing for profit, which this is what we have been all along for them [the facts]. These are the atrocities of the demons jews in human form that look at us “the people as their slaves,” and them as our superiors due, and according to them for their intellectual superiority.
FOR they are not with any superior authority, they simply are criminals of high caliber that have gotten away with these atrocities for much too long against our people; and they need be destroy: taking from the face of our humanity: our society: our planet.
We the people command the clean up: taking down these criminals before the extinction of our humanity that knowingly, and intentionally is being destroy by them.
READ BELOW. Let more of these cases/actions be visible for us all:
A Pennsylvania judge was sentenced to 28 years in prison for selling “kids-for-cash.”
The bribery scandal made headlines when Former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella Jr. was alleged to have taken $1 million in bribes from juvenile detention centers to fill their cells with children who came before him in court.
The Associated Press says the following:
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court tossed about 4,000 convictions issued by Ciavarella between 2003 and 2008, saying he violated the constitutional rights of the juveniles, including the right to legal counsel and the right to intelligently enter a plea.
Ciavarella, 61, was tried and convicted of racketeering charges earlier this year. His attorneys had asked for a “reasonable” sentence in court papers, saying, in effect, that he’s already been punished enough.
“The media attention to this matter has exceeded coverage given to many and almost all capital murders, and despite protestation, he will forever be unjustly branded as the ‘Kids for Cash’ judge,” their sentencing memo said.
The Times Leaderreports that the court house in Scranton was overflowing as over a dozen people who had been essentially “sold” to prisons by the judge turned out to exchange horror stories.
Jeff Pollins’ stepson was convicted by Ciavarella. He turned out to eagerly awaiting the judge’s sentencing.
“These kids are still affected by it. It’s like post traumatic stress disorder,” Pollins said to the Times Leader. “Our life is ruined. It’s never going to be the same… I’d like to see that happen to him,” he added.
Now that Ciaverella has been locked up, that solves one problem but raises an important question that few are asking: Was this an isolated incident or are there more just like him who have made similar deals with prisons across the United States?
The fact that this sort of bribery would even be proposed to the judge suggests that this is a much broader problem, and this one incident was just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Take time to watch President Trump State of the Union speech. We also will like to point out that just about all young gangs within the United States are organized by the CIA, and the FBI to do their dirty work on the streets, knowingly and intentionally to harm our people and to benefits themselves.
There are no secretes.
What they do is rescued these young people around the world, and specially from South America with the goal of them working for the country of the United States. The young people eager to make a living… moving ahead with their lives, are then con for the worse they can encounter: brainwashed, and working for terrorists.
The FBI and the CIA: the CFR= counsel of foreign relations are the perpetrators for the destruction of our youth within these gangs+ human trafficking: Pedogate: and the stealing of humanity’s wealth, = the people original trusts accounts [the banks].
:AS we the people said before, we need to get rid of what no longer serves the greatest good.

Mayor Joy Cooper has been arrested and charged with three felonies: money laundering, official misconduct and exceeding the limit on campaign financing contributions.
The multiple charges stem from an undercover investigation conducted by the FBI that began in 2012 and was turned over to state prosecutors in May 2017, said Constance Simmons, a spokeswoman for the Broward State Attorney’s Office. Each third-degree felony carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.
Cooper has been accused of meeting with wealthy land developers who were actually undercover FBI agents pretending to seek political favor for a project in Hallandale Beach, said her attorney, Larry Davis. The mayor met with the agents and prominent former attorney Alan Koslow over the course of several months. The meetings were all audio or video recorded, unbeknownst to Cooper.
“We look forward to our day in court and the mayor’s vindication,” Davis said. “We’re extremely disappointed that the Broward County State Attorney’s Office is relying upon Alan Koslow, a disgraced and disbarred convicted felon, as the centerpiece of its case of alleged campaign finance violations.”
Cooper, 57, has also been charged with soliciting contributions in a government building, a first-degree misdemeanor that carries a maximum one-year sentence. She surrendered at the Broward Main Jail Thursday morning and is expected to post a $12,000 bond later today, Davis said.
Her arrest on state charges is linked to the prior federal investigation of Koslow, who was sentenced to one year in federal prison, sources with knowledge of the investigation said. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity.
Koslow, now 63, was disbarred and released in September after serving his punishment in prison and a halfway house in South Florida.
In August 2016, Koslow pleaded guilty and admitted he helped people he thought were “quasi-mafia” criminals hide the source of $220,000 linked to illegal gambling and drug dealing of cocaine and counterfeit Viagra.
Koslow, who was considered one of the most effective and best known attorneys and lobbyists in the state, specialized in representing property developers and the gambling industry.
According to federal court records, Koslow met at least 75 times with four different FBI agents between September 2013 and May 2016, though what he did remains secret because of ongoing investigations.
At his sentencing, federal prosecutors and his defense attorney urged the judge to give him a reduced punishment because of his cooperation.
Agents confronted Koslow in a Fort Lauderdale hotel room in August 2013, but he was not charged until May 2016.
Koslow secretly cooperated with federal authorities on one or more undercover investigations during those two years and nine months, records show. The attorneys said at the time that he provided “substantial assistance,” which can range from providing information about other people’s crimes, working undercover or wearing a wire.
Cooper, mayor since 2005, is no stranger to controversy.
In November, her political rivals — Vice Mayor Keith London and Commissioner Michele Lazarow — sent a letter to Gov. Rick Scott asking him to remove her from office. Their letter came two days after Cooper slurred her words at a commission meeting and appeared to be under the influence of “some behavior-altering substance,” the letter said.
Cooper said she was not drunk or on meds but severely dehydrated after contracting “Montezuma’s revenge” during a recent trip to Mexico.
At the time, London said he felt compelled to contact the governor’s office in the interest of the public good.
“We are trying to conduct official business and we have tax dollars on the line,” he said. “It’s public money.”
More than a year ago, London, Lazarow and Anabelle Taub — who was running for commission at the time and later won election — accused Cooper and other political rivals of spying on them.
In October 2016, London found a GPS tracker on his car just two weeks before the city’s election. Similar tracking devices were found on cars owned by Lazarow and Taub.
London reported it to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, prompting a yearlong investigation.
Cooper was first elected to the Hallandale commission in 1999.
Last year, she said she would not run again when her term is up in November 2020, but later said she’d changed her mind.
Cooper, who has lived in Hallandale Beach since 1991, is married to Dr. Harry Cooper and has three children.
