[RT] A child sex trafficker in Colorado has been sentenced to 472 years in prison. It’s been said to be the longest sentence in a human trafficking case in US history, with prosecutors originally seeking 600 years.
Brock Franklin, 31, was sentenced Tuesday by Arapahoe County Judge Peter Michaelson. In March, an Arapahoe County jury found Franklin guilty of 30 counts of operating a prostitution ring that preyed on maiden of tender yearss and women. Among the counts were violations of Colorado’s organized crime control act, charges of pimping a child, human trafficking and sexual assault.
"A 400-year sentence sends a strong message across the country that we’re not going to tolerate this kind of violence to women and vulnerable populations," Janet Drake of the Colorado Attorney General’s office told Fox News.
Prosecutors said Franklin used drugs and violence to control maiden of tender yearss, routinely forced them to have sex with him, and sold their services online. The crimes played out at various hotels across the greater Denver metro area.
One of the nine female victims, Brehannah Leary, told COWX about the violence Franklin often used to keep the women in line.
"Every day the beatings, the name callings, the shavings of one’s head," Leary said. "I can’t begin to even explain what he did to my life," she told the court.
"He took so much from me, and I’m still fighting to get it back," another victim told the judge during sentencing. "You have no idea the damage he has caused to the other women and myself."
Franklin was originally indicted with six others by a grand jury in 2015. Five pleaded guilty to various crimes. Charges against one of the men were dismissed. In October, a judge determined that Franklin was a habitual offender, which led to sentencing enhancers kicking in.
Franklin’s defense team originally asked for the minimum sentence of 96 years behind bars, but victims and prosecutors pushed for more.

[Breitbart] A man went partially blind in one eye after "vigorous" sex caused him to orgasm too hard, according to a paper in the British Medical Journal.
The paper included the case study of a 29-year-old man, who told an emergency eye clinic that he noticed "an obstruction in the central vision of his left eye, which he had noticed on waking that morning."
The diagnosis was unclear at first, and clinicians asked the man to return for a follow-up visit three days later, according to the case study.
A different clinician asked the patient specific questions about his sexual activity. The patient responded that he had "vigorous sexual intercourse" the night before he started experiencing symptoms.
The doctor concluded that the man performed the "Valsalva maneuver," meaning that he tensed his abdominal muscles and held his breath during sex.
This caused a blood vessel in his eye to pop because of the increased pressure to his chest.
[RT] A moose running through residential neighborhoods and fences in the Toronto area has authorities on the hunt. So far, no ruse could induce the recluse footloose moose, who vamoosed without any excuse.
Someone actually got paid after he or she wrote that.
On Friday, the moose was spotted sprinting across residential areas in Markham, Canada, which is a city in the regional municipality of York in the greater Toronto area. But the moose has since lost some of its luster, and is now resting in a ravine, according to the CBC.
Authorities are currently waiting to pick the best time to move in and tranquilize the animal.
A spokesperson for the Ontario Provincial Police’s Highway Safety Division says the moose probably made its way down from where it lives near the Rouge River, Blogto reported.
Eric Cole, a wildlife care manager at the Toronto Zoo, said it’s crucial that the animal be captured before dark, or it will be hard to track, the CBC reported.
"You have [to] immobilize it. You're talking about an animal that's 1,400 lbs ‐ it's sheer power and it's not used to human contact. You can't throw nets on it, so it needs to be tranquilized," he said.
Cole added: "It's very unusual for it to come this far south," and said the wild moose has "come quite a bit out of his natural habitat."

[RT] A hunter in a remote area of Siberia was left bare handed after a wild bear broke into a cabin and stole two of his guns.
The 57-year-old man decided to rest in the cabin while hunting deep in a forest in the Irkutsk region of eastern Siberia. He briefly left the cabin to fetch some fresh water and when he returned he was startled to learn that a wild bear was rooting around in his belongings.
"To avoid an encounter with the animal, the hunter scurried off into the woods where he hid for several hours," the regional Interior Ministry said in a statement, as cited by TASS.
When the hunter returned he was shocked to discover that the bear had stolen two of his guns. The man then spent several days searching the area for the weapons but they were nowhere to be found.
Police have launched an investigation into the bizarre incident and the hapless hunter is now facing a fine and may now forfeit his right to buy and use guns for one year.
This is not the first time Russian police have had to investigate a bear-related incident. In March 2017, police in the southern city of Taganrog were called into action after a man was seen walking a bear on a leash through a residential neighborhood. That bear, however, wasn’t carrying guns.

[RT] The self-styled "World's Most Famous Limousine Driver" Mike Hughes, 61, has suffered a setback in his attempts to prove the Earth is flat. On Saturday, a federal agency blocked his homemade rocket launch by withholding permission to use public land.
The steam-powered rocket was scheduled to take off in Amboy, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, a ghost town in the Mojave Desert along route 66, but Hughes couldn't get permission from the Bureau of Land Management to conduct the launch. Hughes claims he was given verbal permission over a year ago while awaiting final approval from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA).
"It's still happening. We're just moving it three miles down the road," Hughes told The Washington Post Friday. "This is what happens anytime you have to deal with any kind of government agency. I don't see [the launch] happening until about Tuesday, honestly. It takes three days to set up... You know, it's not easy because it's not supposed to be easy."
A spokesperson for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) told the Washington Post that there were no official records of contact between the agency and Hughes and that he had not requested the special recreation permit required to conduct the launch.

[RUDAW.NET] The corpse count for the powerful earthquake that hit on the Kurdistan Region-Iran border has risen to 456 following the deaths of 11 people in hospital, Iran’s forensic office stated on Saturday.
It said the most recent victims had died over the past few days in hospitals in Kermanshah province.
The majority of the deaths with 400 have been in the Kurdish town of Sarpol-e Zahab. One person from the town is still missing.
The 7.3 magnitude earthquake on November 12 injured over 7,800 people in Iran. A total of 427,266 people are affected by the quake, according to the Iranian Red Islamic Thingy.
The number of dead in a major earthquake that hit Iran's western province of Kermanshah this month has risen to 483, official news agency IRNA said.
The rise from a previous toll of 436 reported last week came after some people died from their injuries and authorities identified several dead who were buried in haste, IRNA and other Iranian media outlets said.
The 7.3-magnitude quake struck the mountainous region bordering Iraq late on November 12, injuring more than 12,000 people and leaving thousands homeless.
Eight people were killed in neighbouring Iraq.

Sorry, I can't go along. Levin runs the "purity" game at a level that would make the most radical Wahhabi cleric blush. No sense of politics being "the art of the possible" at all. I can get a more enjoyable headache from bust skull whiskey.

It’s easy enough to make promises now that may or may not be kept later...
[RT] Cash-strapped Zim-bob-we has reportedly offered a $10 million payout to deposed President Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... , while his wife will receive a generous pension after his death, and his children’s businesses won’t be touched by the incoming administration.
"The government will give him a $5 million lump sum and then the remainder to be paid out in instalments," a source told the Zim-bob-we Independent, whose report has since been confirmed by other media outlets. "Mugabe will also enjoy full medical cover as well as his full monthly salary. In the event of his death, his wife will be given half [his monthly salary]."
Mugabe, 93, currently receives a $150,000 annual pension, which will be partly inherited by his 52-year-old second wife Grace Mugabe, who is pejoratively known as "Gucci Grace" among some Zim-bob-weans. The two are expected to stay in the Blue Roof mansion in Harare, with the state still paying all travel, security and staff expenses for the couple.
The property of both of Mugabe’s children, and his wife’s son Russell from a previous marriage "will not be seized or in any way molested," the Guardian reports. Mugabe’s extended family owns a range of dairy farms, and has notable interests in the country’s mining industry.
"I was worried about what the changes would mean for me personally, but I am now reassured that I can live on in my country," one of Mugabe’s relatives, who did not wish to make his name public, told the publication.

$10 million? Chump change. I'd bet that Zimbob is "cash-strapped" because Bob has siphoned billions from the treasury throughout his endless reign and stashed it around the world. (See Chavez, Hugo, or Arafat, Yasser.)
[Al Jazeera] Ex-finance minister Ignatius Chombo will be detained until Monday, when a court will rule on a bail application on his corruption trial.
Chombo, an ally of former President Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... , appeared on Saturday in a Harare court on corruption and abuse of power charges related to his earlier tenure as minister of local government, public works and urban development.
In Zim-bob-we alone, he is believed to own more than 100 properties.
His lawyer, Lovemore Madhuku, argued that the ex-minister was taken from his home by masked button men on November 15, the day Zim-bob-we's army seized control of the state and said it was "targeting criminals" around Mugabe, who was sent to his room.
Chobo had to be admitted to a government hospital for injuries allegedly sustained from beatings while in detention, according to Madhuku.

Correction: According to data supplied by rebel officials in Donetsk, the OSCE never appeared in Gladosovo.
By Chris Covert
Russian backed rebel forces claimed that the video released purporting to show Ukrainian soldiers passing out canned good to residents of Gladosovo was staged, according to Russian language new accounts.
Two days ago, on the night of November 22nd to November 23rd, elements of the Ukrainian 58th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade occupied the villages of Gladosovo and Travnevoye, both of which are close to the line of contact north of rebel held Gorlovka/Zaitsevo.
Both villages were considered to be in a gray zone, which neither side occupies. But due to a change in Ukrainian basic tactics since the spring of 2016, Ukrainian forces have been moving forces into those zones, actions which have shown to be so far, relatively cost free to the Ukrainians.
Ukrainian military media claimed that their forces north of Gorlovka/Zaitsevo took over several kilometers.
However, the latest rebel reports show that the Ukrainian hold on the newly acquired territory is tenuous at best.
According to a new article which appeared in Russian sponsored Russkaya Vesna new website, a Donetsk military film crew, covered by Donetsk special forces, managed to get within a kilometer of Gladosovo in daylight, and, from an uncovered height, took video footage purportedly showing Ukrainian forces digging in to the villages.
Rebel media claimed to have reports that the canned food filmed being passed out to residents in Gladosovo, were actually requisitioned from a local market, by elements of the 24th Aidar Battalion, part of the initial force entering Gladosovo.
According to a news account which appeared in lb.ua, the communications staff asked that volunteers refrain from commenting on social media data on Ukrainian troop deployments and activities. It has been said in rebel media in the last two days that rebel forces were able to quickly assemble backing forces for immediate deployment to the line of contact.
So far, not in any media has there been an indication that the newly redeployed rebel forces have had any involvement in the attack on Frunze in Lugansk and in the former gray areas north of Gorlovka. It is entirely possible that the newly activated rebel forces had shown to Ukraine military that subsequent plans, which rebel media claimed were in the works, would have to be scrapped.
Ukrainian media claim that Gladosovo and other locales had been denied access to food, gas and power had not been addressed by rebel media.
A recent news announcement from Donetsk Lt. Colonel Eduard Basurin, said that only one dirt road goes in to Gladosovo, and it is being constantly washed out by the weather.

Correction: According to data supplied by rebel officials in Donetsk, the OSCE never appeared in Gladosovo. By Chris Covert
Russian backed rebels in Lugansk said Saturday that they suspect Ukrainian forces will attempt further attacks similar to the attack on November 23rd, according to Russian language and Ukrainian news accounts.
According to the rebels' own briefing, which appeared on an official Lugansk rebel government website, they found intelligence that the Ukrainians were preparing a number of probes into rebel positions across the P66 highway, which has been an issue between the two sides since early 2015.
According to Lugansk ministry of defense spokesman Lt. Colonel Andei Marochko, Ukrainian commanders were preparing to use night and winter weather to press their attacks.
Since 2016, Ukrainian commanders have changed their tactics to finding gray zones between the two forces, occupying them, and then reinforcing them. The tactic seems at first to create a favorable tactical position, especially since rebel forces are dug in all along the line of contact, and must then either adjust to the new occupation or change their own deployment strategy.
The day before the November 23rd attack on Frunze in far northern rebel held Lugansk, Ukrainian military spokesmen announced the capture of ground in a gray zone, according to a news account which appeared in the Ukrainian Russian language news outlet, korrespondent.net.
Rebel media only days had before announced that Ukrainian forces occupied the village of Gladosovo, forcing residents by threat of arms to stay indoors. Ukrainian media said that the village of Travnevoye was taken as well. A video released on a private military channel showed very well equipped Ukrainian soldiers passing out canned goods to civilian residents. The video also indicated that both villages were without power.
Donetsk rebel media said that some residents of Gladosovo were evicted, or were forced to quarter Ukrainian soldiers. Ukrainian military media has denied the charges.
According to a separate news account in korrespondent.net, Ukrainian plans were to occupy a much larger area north of Gorlovka, but those plans were trimmed when they were revealed on social media.
In a separate news release, Lt. Col. Marochko hinted that the attacks were intended to be a diversion to keep rebel forces occupied as Ukrainian forces move into other territory. The Ukrainians would stay aware of the rebels' reaction through the use of drones and other intelligence gathering techniques.
According to Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin, writing in his Live Journal blog, one member of the attack force was a straggler who sat out the night and then was captured by rebel patrols. A video was released showing the soldier in a rebel trench receiving first aid.
The soldier so far has been identified only as Roman, a Ukrainian intelligence officer, according to rebel reports. Rozhin said he will be in the next prisoner exchange, coming up soon.
The Lugansk rebel government has released photographs showing the aftermath of the encounter, some of them grisly displays.
Much of this increased activity can be attributed to the appointment of Lt. Gen. Mykhailo Zabrodsky to command Ukrainian military forces in southeastern Ukraine.
Lt. General Zabrodsky has been a commander in the Ukrainian civil war since the very start, heading among others the Ukrainian 95th Separate Airmobile Brigade. Lt. General Zabrodsky trained at the US Army's command and staff school in Fort Leavenworth.
It is worth adding at this point that Lugansk and Donetsk military officials have been cooperating recently in sweeping areas in Lugansk and near the Donetsk border for sabotage groups that might have infiltrated into Lugansk. Donetsk has sent military units to aid former Lugansk president Igor Plotnitsky in the past.

I admit I haven't been following this war very closely. But it seems they've been going at it for quite some time now without either side being able to gain any kind of advantage. Rather than continue to waste blood and treasure, isn't it about time for them to negotiate some kind of a compromise?

Neither side wants to compromise. The rebels want reunification with the Musovites and Ukraine won't accept automomy.
The basics are this: Ukraine wants to eliminate all Russian influence by banning the Russian language, as Czar Aleksandr II did the Ukrainian language in the mid-1800s.
And Ukraine has reciprocated, by banning the use of the Russian language officially earlier this year, and in films, books, etc. Two years after the coup, Russian speaking Ukrainians were told their language would eventually not be used in conducting business with the government, so the supporters of the Maidan government made good on their threat.
Russians (from Russia) have two major beefs with Ukraine, and the first is the government of Ukraine was, for all intents and purposes, imposed by coup by NATO and the US. In the Russians' view, that act alone placed NATO and the US in breach of treaties that said NATO would not try to expand, which they wound up doing anyway.
When the ABMs were talked about, Putin's military commanders said deployment of those missiles are not meant to protect Europe from Iran, but to be used as a shield against Russia in anticipation of a ground offensive against Russia.
When the government of Ukraine was deposed, Putin made a decision to protect Russian interests in Crimea, where they have a naval base and airfields they have held since the 1800s, by annexing Crimea.
Now there is some doubt as to the veracity but FSB operative Igor Girkin claimed to have been the commander for the takeover in Crimea, which for all the displays of military power, was bloodless.
Girkin also was the prime operative in fomenting the rebellion against Ukraine, starting in Slavyansk. When the new Maidan government started to use their own military power to crush the rebellion, is when, I assume, Russian military equipment, including heavy vehicles and individual soldiers -- active duty as well as veterans of previous wars (Afghanistan, Chechnya, South Ossetia, etc) -- were sent across the border to aid the rebels.
Ukrainian claim that whole Russian brigade sized formations are deployed in southeastern Ukraine, but my personal belief is that they are there to act as a fire brigade.
The rest is history.
Most of those fellas fighting at the beginning in Slavyansk now hold higher military and in political posts within Lugansk and Donetsk, so they are naturally afraid that Putin could hang them out to dry. They won't negotiate unless they get an out.
[LA Times] When he was named special counsel in May, Robert S. Mueller III was hailed as the ideal lawman ‐ deeply experienced, strait-laced and nonpartisan ‐ to investigate whether President Trump’s campaign had helped with Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The accolades squared with Mueller’s valor as a Marine rifle platoon commander in Vietnam and his integrity as a federal prosecutor, senior Justice Department official and FBI director from 2001 to 2013 ‐ the longest tenure since J. Edgar Hoover’s. He was praised by former courtroom allies and opponents, and by Democrats and Republicans in Congress.
But at 73, Mueller has a record that shows a man of fallible judgment who can be slow to alter his chosen course. At times, he has intimidated or provoked resentment among subordinates. And his tenacious yet linear approach to evaluating evidence led him to fumble the biggest U.S. terrorism investigation since 9/11.
Now, as he leads a sprawling investigation aimed at the White House, Mueller’s prosecutorial discretion looms over the Trump presidency.
On what terms would Mueller offer immunity from prosecution to investigative targets? How broadly will he interpret his mandate to look into not only the 2016 campaign but also matters that "may arise directly from the investigation"?
Will he target Trump’s sprawling family business and financial empire and the years before the developer ran for the White House?
[American Thinker] Few witnesses could be more damning against a purported sexual abuser of four decades ago than an ex-cop from that era. That is, unless the ex-cop has a hidden agenda. Like the former Gadsden, Alabama cop who claims police were told in the 1970s to ensure that now-GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore stayed away from teen cheerleaders ‐ and who actually turns out to be a left-wing Moore opponent.
Faye Gary created quite a stir last week with her comments, though she confessed to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that the claims about Judge Moore were "just rumors" and that "we never got a complaint on it."
What didn’t come out during her media interview ‐ in which she appeared sober and non-partisan ‐ is that she has an ideological axe to grind with the judge.
After confirming with the City of Gadsden Personnel Office that Gary actually had served as a police officer, I contacted her via a Facebook message. The passion and anger quickly emerged, with Gary making clear she objected to Moore’s stances on homosexuality, Islam and the display of the Ten Commandments.
In fact, the venom leapt from the page. Gary insisted that Moore will, as she put it, "pay for his stance on gays, Muslims and most of all for hiding behind the Ten Commandments for his political gain." She seemed to be implying that he’ll suffer some kind of divine retribution.
Gary also became vulgar. After I told her the Gadsden Mall’s ex-manager contradicted her claim that Moore was suspended from the facility and that this is what happens when you listen to the "rumor mill" (her term), she wrote, "Thanks for your opinion but they r just like a[**] h[***]s we all have one."
Their platform, their rules
LOS ANGELES — Google-owned YouTube, which has been under fire for allowing kids programming to get out of control with violent and exploitative content aimed at older audiences, announced several steps Wednesday to wipe out these viral videos.
In a blog post, YouTube said it had toughened its guidelines for acceptable content, and had in the past week kicked off 50 channels and removed "thousands" of videos under the guidelines.
YouTube said it had changed policies to remove ads from inappropriate videos that target families and block inappropriate comments on videos featuring minors.
"We also implemented policies to age-restrict (only available to people over 18 and logged in) content with family entertainment characters but containing mature themes or adult humor," said Johanna Wright, vice president of product management at YouTube, in the blog post. "To help surface potentially violative content, we are applying machine learning technology and automated tools to quickly find and escalate for human review." More at the link
