He packed his car, withdrew his cash and planned to slip quietly into Mexico. But the escape was cut short Friday morning as Chandler detectives closed in. Police then arrested the man on suspicion of sexually assaulting five girls and attacking another in the Chandler Rapist crime spree that spanned 18 months, police announced Saturday.
Santana Batiz-Aceves, 39, a twice-deported illegal immigrant with a history of drug charges, was arrested about 11:49 a.m. Friday at his Chandler home near Arizona Avenue and Ray Road. He was booked into Maricopa Countys Fourth Avenue Jail on suspicion of 25 felonies, including kidnapping, child molestation, sexual abuse, sexual conduct with a minor, aggravated assault, burglary and trespassing. He is being held without bond.
From the beginning of this investigation, we have believed that help from our community and good, old-fashioned police work were the most likely avenues to solving this series of crimes, Chandler police Chief Sherry Kiyler said at a news conference Saturday. This has turned out to be the case.

Load him up, take a bunch of axe handles and beat him to death in the desert. He doesn't deserve a life in a cell with 3 squares and a cot unless if he's raped every night of his live by an HIV-positive cellmate. F*cker. Ask McCain about this at the next debate. All you open-borders assholes? Here's your poster child. Doing the crimes most Americans won't do.

Death penalty. Or tell his cellmates what he was convicted of.

Take him swimming in Louisiana's Atchafalaya River, heavily rubbed with pig fat. If the alligators don't get him, the allagator gar will. A ten-foot alligator gar will do more damage than a 15-foot alligator, and they go for the dangley parts first.

Santana Batiz-Aceves, 39, a twice-deported illegal immigrant undocumented raper
... Britney Spears is rumoured to have concocted a bizarre plot to marry her photographer boyfriend in a bid to win back her children.
After a whirlwind two-week romance with Adnan Ghalib, the pop star has apparently told friends she wants to marry her new man and convert to Islam. The twice-married singer, 26, has been in hiding in Los Angeles with Ghalib since her public meltdown last week which saw her lose custody of her two sons to ex Kevin Federline.
The mixed-up pop princess then extended an invitation to her lover's family to visit them in the US when she has got over her problems. The biggest of which is probably tomorrow's custody hearing which will decide whether she will be able to see children Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.
Last night a source close to Britney said: "Monday's court hearing is D-Day for her and the kids. While she's been swanning around with Adnan, Kevin's been preparing for the court showdown to end them all. He has no confidence in her ability to look after either herself or the children."
I don't have much confidence in him, but he does seem to be the lesser of the two evils here ...
However, a close friend of Britney revealed how fragile the star was. "She's been discussing all these wacky plans to reinvent her life and convince the courts she is a good mother. She has discussed in depth a fake death, moving abroad and even plastic surgery. It is scary to hear her romanticise about these insane plans. She believes she could spend six months away and make a comeback as Britney the world's best mother."
It has been claimed that Ghalib is planning to make a fortune out his relationship with Britney and that he has been plotting to steal the singer's heart since 2006. Since her public breakdown Adnan has stuck close to Britney's side.
Now family friends of Adnan reckon his family would only accept Britney if she changed religion.
Good bet, that's how it works on many an occasion, isn't it?
A friend said: "Adnan's mother and father are very religious and go to the mosque every day. They are strict when it comes to their religion and would never accept a non-Muslim into the family, let alone a white girl.
"If Britney and Adnan were serious about each other, then she would have to change her religion, and even then they may have difficulty accepting her. Some Muslims do not insist on conversion, but I know Adnan's family well and they would want Britney to change."

Because nothing says respectability, stability and wholesome values like a Dark Ages rape cult. On the one hand I am opposed to any woman wearing a bin bag in public. On the other hand a burka might - might - be sufficiently tent-like to prevent Britney from flashing her fanny at the world every time she exits an SUV. So let's call this Secular Decadence 0 : Islam 1.

not a lotta party girls in Islamic countries, Britney, ever noticed that?

Been a long time since I law school and domestic relations/probate classes, but I expect the upcoming hearings to be quite a show. Wondering what the relevant standards and authorities are for committing someone past the age of majority into a mental health institution? She seems to be several acts past an act which could harm herself or the community - the kids are probably gone from her, and she may be soon too.

Well if I were a judge a whim switch to a religion that makes you property and kills you when you change your mind and decide to leave the religion would certainly influence my child custody decisions. No doubt about it.

Britney Spears and RF (Timmy's mom) - a matched pair from different ends of the financial spectrum, but alike in thinking they can bamboozle the justice system. I'd classify both as mental midgets, but that would be extremely insulting to midgets - of any stripe.

The European Union, United States and United Nations urged Kenya's feuding politicians on Saturday to agree a peaceful and democratic end to violence that has killed 500 people since disputed December 27 polls.
A day after the opposition urged foreign sanctions against President Mwai Kibaki, who it says rigged his re-election, Washington and Brussels said it could not be "business as usual" with east Africa's biggest economy without a deal.
"All political parties in Kenya should recognize that it cannot be business as usual in Kenya until there is political compromise which leads to a lasting solution that reflects the will of the Kenyan people," the EU said in a statement.
The European Union and United States are coordinating their efforts to end the crisis in Kenya, an EU diplomat said.
The top U.S. diplomat for Africa, Jendayi Frazer, said Washington was "deeply disappointed" that Kibaki and his rival Raila Odinga had not yet held face-to-face talks.
"Both should acknowledge serious irregularities in the vote tallying which made it impossible to determine with certainty the final result," she said in a statement. "In the meantime, the United States cannot conduct business as usual in Kenya."
Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan is due to lead a new push for peace in Kenya this week. But the opposition is planning new protests after African Union talks collapsed. An EU source said it was too early to talk about sanctions.

An Egyptian who fears he will be tortured for his Christian beliefs cannot be deported without full court review just to further U.S. diplomatic goals, a federal judge has determined. Sameh Khouzam, 38, credibly argued that he had been tortured previously, and the U.S. government should not deport him based on a diplomatic pledge from Egypt that he will not be mistreated again, the judge ruled Thursday.
He ordered Khouzam released from U.S. prisons, where he had been held more than eight years, but stayed his order five days pending further court action. The Justice Department appealed the ruling to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court.
"The fact that this matter implicates the foreign affairs of the United States does not insulate the executive branch action from judicial review," U.S. District Judge Thomas I. Vanaskie wrote. "Not even the president of the United States has the authority to sacrifice ... the right to be free from torture" on the altar of foreign relations, he wrote.
Khouzam also fears he will face what he calls a trumped-up murder conviction if deported. Vanaskie found little evidence to support the in-absentia conviction.
The judge said courts must ensure that the Egyptian pledge to treat Khouzam humanely is the result of high-level discussions with State Department and Homeland Security officials.
The American Civil Liberties Union represents Khouzam, who came to the country in 1998 but was immediately detained based on the criminal allegations forwarded from Egypt. "The government argued in this case that the court had no role to play in reviewing the adequacy of the (diplomatic) assurances. The court soundly rejected that argument," ACLU attorney Amrit Singh said Friday.
Justice Department officials had no comment, spokesman Charles Miller said Friday.
According to Vanaskie, the only evidence filed to support the murder conviction was a news release, not any formal court documents. Khouzam's lawyers deny he killed anyone and say the news release lists a conviction date of Feb. 22, 1998 - eleven days after the alleged crime. They say no body or autopsy has ever been produced.
The media office of the Egyptian Embassy in Washington did not return a message seeking comment Friday.
The Justice Department argued last year that Khouzam's case must be placed in the broader context of U.S.-Egyptian relations. "Why in the world would they deal with us again if all of the course of their dealings with us are going to be opened up to scrutiny?" lawyer Douglas Ginsburg argued in court. "That's exactly what's at stake here. There is a full panoply of interests and diplomatic interactions between the United States and Egypt."
If we're dealing with another democratic state then the concerns of the Justice Department are legitimate. No doubt the Brit, French, and Aussie courts consider themselves pretty good at the law, and our courts should give their deliberations considerable respect. But we're dealing with a despotic, thuggocratic state. The bar is higher, and the Egyptians should meet the standard that we routinely demand of western, democratic states. I'm shuddering, but for once I agree with the ACLU.
Khouzam claims that he and his family were frequently detained in Egypt by authorities who demanded that they abandon their Coptic Christian beliefs and convert to Islam. Only about 10 percent of the mostly Muslim country is Christian. Khouzam says he endured various forms of torture which sometimes required medical treatment. He says he escaped from a hospital after one such episode in February 1998 and hopped a flight to the United States.
His mother, Georgette Shehata, came a year later and has since been granted asylum. She lives in York, near the prison where Khouzam is currently held. "The lawyers say the decision is very strong," Shehata said Friday. She is eager for her son to experience the freedom she has known in America, rather than prison. "It is a very bad experience (for him)," Shehata said, noting her son has lost 40 pounds in the past seven months.

This judge could work for the Dep't of State! They too seem to be only too cluelessly happy about sending people back to their countries of origin to face torture and execution, and to keep legitimate folks like Israel's singer Rita out of the country. Oh well.
A U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force faced the first major challenge to its authority in Darfur, Sudan, this week, enduring more than 10 minutes of hostile fire from Sudanese forces without responding with a single shot.
The assault Tuesday evening against a clearly marked supply convoy of more than 20 trucks and armored personnel vehicles left a Sudanese driver critically wounded and prompted a formal protest from U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. It also gave the U.N.-backed force a humiliating defeat during the critical first weeks of its mission in Darfur.
The United Nations' chief peacekeeping official, Jean-Marie Guehenno, vowed to "repel" future attacks against U.N. and African Union personnel. But other U.N. officials said the force's Nigerian commander, Gen. Martin Luther Agwai, lacks the firepower to respond forcefully to a larger and better-equipped Sudanese military. Can't give 'em any real firepower, they might injure some fluffy bunnies or baby ducks.

Wow...a formal protest, from the Secretary-General himself! Why didn't it work? I'm drawing a blank here.

Throw in the 'progress' in Kosovo and Haiti and then compare result with getting Iraq back in order in four years, the critics don't have much to show as a 'good' example when their hands are in the process.

President Hugo Chavez threatened again on Friday to seize property from businesses if they are caught hoarding products, as Venezuela struggles with shortages of some basic foods and high inflation. "some" as in "all"
Chavez warned that price speculation is occurring "at all levels of society, from the big capitalists to the small shopkeepers," and said his government could expropriate property from individuals or companies that purportedly sit on goods for months to sell later them at inflated prices. at below cost
"I ask the ministers and lawmakers to pay a lot of attention to this because it's one of the causes of inflation," he said during a marathon address to legislators. among flinging money and cheap oil promises to Lefty dictators, commies, and Islamist axis allies?
Annual inflation soared to 22.5 percent in 2007 the highest official rate in Latin America according to the Central Bank.
Chavez a close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro has made similar threats in the past. No such takeovers have occurred so far, however, and Venezuela continues to have many private supermarkets and food distributors. but little goods and foods
Some food staples covered by price controls sugar, cooking oil, milk, black beans, eggs and chicken are sporadically hard to find in supermarkets, and Chavez's critics warn shortages are likely to persist as long as the price controls are maintained. reeaaallly?
Leading retailers deny hoarding products. Many argue that currency controls established in 2003 are also responsible for higher prices, because some businesses are forced to buy imports using black-market dollars at more than twice the official exchange rate. Others say heavy government spending bankrolled by soaring oil profits has pushed up prices.

Expect high oil and gas prices this summer. A friend of mine works for a company that was privatized by Castro Jr.. CapEx funds are nonexistent and output has almost halved. Any future industry problems will give us a big spike.
Taiwan's main opposition Nationalist Party (KMT) thrashed the ruling DPP in legislative elections on Saturday, strengthening its bid to recapture the presidency in March and heralding better relations with China. With all the votes counted, the KMT had won 81 seats in the 113-member parliament, or 72 percent, according to the Central Election Commission. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party won just 27 seats, or 24 percent, the rest going to other parties.
Chen Shui-bian, Taiwan's president since 2000, resigned as DPP chairman when the magnitude of his party's loss became clear, saying he should take responsibility for its defeat. The KMT and its allied People First Party had previously held 49 percent of the seats in the larger 225-seat legislature, while the DPP and its allies held about 42 percent.
Many voters blame the DPP for allowing Taiwan's economy to languish under Chen. Chen's family members and closest aides have also been embroiled in a series of scandals over the past year, plunging the party into its worst crisis since it was founded in 1986. "This is the biggest failure since the founding of the DPP and as chairman I should take responsibility," Chen said. "I should shoulder the biggest responsibility ... We will have even bigger challenges ahead," he added, referring to the presidential election in March.
The KMT won its landslide victory "because Taiwanese people have used their wisdom to vote against corruption and incompetence in the government," said Tsai Chin-lung, who won a seat in Taichung for the party. "Taiwanese people are really outraged with what the government is doing," he said.

This will reduce the level of nationalist rhetoric emanating from Taiwan and cool the tension that had built with mainland China. The chance of an "Archduke Ferdinand" situation drawing the U.S. into an undesired conflict just decreased.
The status quo has had a more positive effect on China in introducing capitalism than democracy or human rights, but historically it is progress.

President Chen has lead the country into a major economic downturn and family members have been embroiled in major financial corruption in the stock market.

Sorry if the post was too OT. In reading up on the Straits of Hormuz happenings, I stumbled across this article. Listening to the always racist and sometimes insane ramblings of Filpino Monkey was a way that many USN bridge watchstanders passed the boredom of night watchstanding in the Gulf. I had forgotten about that particular denizen of channel 16 - kind of a Tokyo Rose with an Arab twist.

dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
