We just can’t wrap our heads around animals who get off on the disgusting images of babies being molested and sexually exploited. It makes no sense. And some of these people are working with kids!!! The man pictured above is one of 26 such depraved characters who were recently arrested in a widespread bust of New York kiddie porn enthusiasts. Twenty six perverts, including a substitute public school teacher, have been busted on charges of keeping a stomach-turning kiddie porn stash on their computers, prosecutors said Tuesday. “The defendants in these cases traded images of child sexual assault the way that others trade baseball cards,” prosecutor Cyrus Vance said. “They were curators of their collections, who carefully labeled, sorted and shared their cache with others.” The DA’s office conducted the probe with federal authorities. The parade of purported perverts included a Harvard-educated lawyer, a building super, a banker, a bartender, a high school student and a National Guard member. One of the suspects worked at Alice’s Tea Cup on Amsterdam Ave., an Alice in Wonderland-themed teahouse that caters to parents and children. “Their professions are as diverse as our city,” Vance said. The tens of thousands of pictures were as vile as anything ever discovered by law enforcers, including a 3-year-old getting raped in a bathtub and a 5-year-old forced to perform oral sex. “These images are not pornography or pictures of erotica intended for sexual excitement,” Vance said. “These are babies, these are toddlers.” Vance released details about the ring after a Manhattan substitute teacher pleaded not guilty Tuesday to trading child pornography files – including graphic sex videos – over the internet. Joshua Ruiz, 32, who has been teaching at four public schools in Manhattan, was hauled into Manhattan Supreme Court on a grand jury indictment charging him with felony possession and distribution of sexual performances by children. He faces seven years behind bars. While demanding that Ruiz be held on $35,000 bail, prosecutors described online chats they said they found on Ruiz’s home computer since he was first busted in May – including discussing the abuse of his 3-year-old nephew. They said they may bring more charges relating to the chats. “I’m so jealous of you,” Ruiz told one chat buddy who described having sex with a 12-year-old boy, prosecutors told the judge. “Where do you meet them?” Ruiz asked, according to Assistant District Attorney Lauren Gretina. “How do you approach them?” Prosecutors say Ruiz’ computer chats also involved the father of a 3-month-old baby girl, who described having sex with the infant, officials said. “I would love to be a part of it, even, at least, if you could let me just watch,” Ruiz told the dad, Gretina said. The prosecutor said Ruiz – who came to court with his mother, who he lives with on W. 170th St., and his pastor – spoke about sexually abusing his own 3-year-old nephew during one chat. Despite that claim, Ruiz told investigators, “I have never touched a child sexually in any way,” court papers show. And prosecutors said they have not spoken to the parents of the child. A woman answering the door at Ruiz’s apartment Tuesday said he wasn’t there. “I’m not talking to nobody,” the woman said in Spanish. The documents say Ruiz admitted to having child porn on his computer. “The downloading of child pornography got to be an obsession,” prosecutors say he told investigators. “I have about 50-100 child pornography files on my computer now.” Official said Ruiz used computer from 2009 to 2011 to access the porn. The judge let Ruiz stay out on the $15,000 bail set after his arrest. Ruiz lawyer, Marc Laykind, maintained his client was innocent. Ruiz has been a substitute teacher in public schools since September 2008, most recently at PS 199, PS166, PS 111 and PS 333 in Manhattan. An agency spokeswoman said he was removed from the classroom on May 4, when we was arrested and had no prior criminal record when he was hired. We don’t understand what’s taking them so long to investigate whether this Ruiz character actually molested his nephew. Clearly you can’t take his word for anything! And why the hell is this guy out roaming the streets like a free man still — talkin’ about watching some sicko rape his own baby. Just nasty!
From a Politico.com The federal government has posted signs along a major interstate highway in Arizona, more than 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and a local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state. The signs were posted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, a major east-west corridor linking Tucson and Phoenix with San Diego. They warn travelers that they are entering an “active drug and human smuggling area” and they may encounter “armed criminals and smuggling vehicles traveling at high rates of speed.” Beginning less than 50 miles south of Phoenix, the signs encourage travelers to “use public lands north of Interstate 8” and to call 911 if they “see suspicious activity.” Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, whose county lies at the center of major drug and alien smuggling routes to Phoenix and cities east and west, attests to the violence. He said his deputies are outmanned and outgunned by drug traffickers in the rough-hewn desert stretches of his own county. “Mexican drug cartels literally do control parts of Arizona,” he said. “They literally have scouts on the high points in the mountains and in the hills and they literally control movement. They have radios, they have optics, they have night-vision goggles as good as anything law enforcement has. “This is going on here in Arizona,” he said. “This is 70 to 80 miles from the border – 30 miles from the fifth-largest city in the United States.” He said he asked the Obama administration for 3,000 National Guard soldiers to patrol the border, but what he got were 15 signs. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer condemned what she called the federal government's “continued failure to secure our international border,” saying the lack of security has resulted in important natural recreational areas in her state being declared too dangerous to visit. added by: BRAVATRAVELS
A plane crash in Alaska may have claimed the life of one of the state's former senators, as well as a former head of NASA. Former Republican U.S. Senator Ted Stevens was aboard a plane that crashed in Alaska, a congressional source told Reuters on Tuesday. The Associated Press also reports that former NASA Administrator, Sean O'Keefe, was on board. Nine people are believed to have been aboard in total, five of whom died, and Alaska National Guard spokesman Maj. Guy Hayes said. It is unclear if Stevens or O'Keefe are among the survivors. Hayes said The Air Force 11th Rescue Coordination Center, which is operated by the Alaska National Guardsmen, was called to the area about 20 miles north of Dillingham at about 7 p.m. Monday after a passing aircraft saw the downed plane. But severe weather has hampered search-and-rescue efforts. Several people who were in the area are at the sight of the crash, the Anchorage Daily News reports. “They're not out there alone right now. There's people that are providing support,” Hayes said. “From what I'm told, there are survivors on this aircraft. I don't know how many could be fatalities at this point.” Medical personnel are also at the scene, the Air National Guard said in a statement. Stevens served in Congress for 60 years and was its longest-serving Republican senator. He lost his bid for re-election in 2008. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mg7D3kYysfw/Rq5eeIMACTI/AAAAAAAACu4/QLc2RBVNtxw/s400/t… http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/08/10/2010-08-10_former_sen_ted_st… added by: EmperorThan
The conservatives most recent hoax that they are grabbing onto is this one; that is even circulating around current.com (excerpt) The President of the United States has sent out 14 National Security letters to 14 State Governors treating them with arrest for the highest crime in the nation; treason. The States are reestablishing “state defense forces”, which are independent of the National Guard and operate under sole control of the state’s Governor and with no federal involvement. Obama is fearful that with the U.S. Army at its breaking point from back to back deployments; would not be able to fend off a coup. added by: Colin_McCabe
he Obama administration plans to announce Tuesday that it will send as many as 1,200 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to improve border security, an Arizona congresswoman said. Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords also said in a statement released Tuesday that President Barack Obama will request $500 million in funding for border security. Part of Giffords' district borders Mexico. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's spokesman said the governor hadn't been told of the move prior to her office being contacted by The Associated Press and had no immediate comment. In 2006, President George W. Bush sent thousands of troops to the border to perform support duties that tie up immigration agents. The troops wouldn't perform significant law enforcement duties. That program has since ended, and politicians in border states have called for troops to be sent there to curb human and drug smuggling and prevent Mexico's drug violence from spilling over into the United States. added by: Omnomynous
When Reggie Bush lines up across from linebacker Brian Urlacher on Sundays, he has no fear. But place the NFL star next to a hormone-laden Kourtney Kardashian , days after she gave birth, and the running back cowers in trepidation. Such was the case last week, according to sources that claim Bush was set to finally propose to Kim Kardashian – until an irate Kourtney stepped in and threw a fit over the possibility that this engagement news would overshadow her status as a new mother
