[Guns America Digest] Lester Gillis was born in December of 1908 in Chicago, Illinois. His first arrest came on Independence Day at age 12. Young Lester discovered a handgun and inadvertently shot a pal in the jaw. He served a year in reform school before being released to steal his first car at age 13. This bought the lad another 18 months in the boys’ penal facility.
Gillis was a great many dichotomous things. He was a natural leader, a committed husband, and a doting father. He married Helen Wawrzyniak at age 20 and sired two kids he adored. By 1930, however, Gillis was making serious bank in the burgeoning field of armed robbery.
The press referred to his gang as the "Tape Bandits" after their propensity to truss up robbery victims with tape. On one of his first major scores, Gillis and his troops made off with $205,000 in jewelry from magazine-executive, Charles Richter. That would be more than $3 million today. After several more lucrative home invasions, Gillis robbed his first financial institution. While the $4,000 he stole was dwarfed by his previous jewel heists, Gillis found in bank robbery his true calling.
[PJMedia] The Secret Service is investigating a foreign attack on the U.S. unemployment system that has been deluged in recent months with tens of millions of Americans filing claims.
The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... is reporting that a Nigerian fraud ring is using the social security numbers and other stolen identity data to file false claims with states for workers that may not have even lost their jobs. The scheme has resulted in millions of dollars being siphoned away.
The illegal activity seems to be centered in Washington state but at least six other states may have been targeted as well.
The Nigerian fraudsters apparently use middlemen in the U.S. as “mules” to collect the cash.
Real social security numbers are used and, apparently, citizens of specific states were targeted. Authorities may have become suspicious of so many out-of-state claims piling up so the fraudsters targeted in-state businesses and employees.
Federal authorities believe most of the phony claims have been filed in the state of Washington, though evidence suggests similar attacks in six other states: Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Wyoming, a Secret Service memo obtained by the Times said.
[CHRON] Eighty-five thousand dollars in jewelry. A 2019 Rolls-Royce Wraith luxury coupe. Forty-thousand dollars in child support payments.
Maurice "Mo" Fayne, a trucking company owner who appears regularly on the reality show "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta," has been charged with using more than $1.5 million in Small Business Administration stimulus funds to enrich himself rather than for paying workers and small business expenses as the program requires.
According to the U.S. attorney's office in the Northern District of Georgia, Fayne is the sole owner of a Georgia corporation called Flame Trucking that received a $2 million bank loan through the SBA's relief package for small businesses, the Paycheck Protection Program.
On May 13 Fayne was arrested and then charged with bank fraud. Prosecutors alleged he used more than $1.5 million on unauthorized purchases including the car, jewelry and child support.
"The defendant allegedly took advantage of the emergency lending provisions of the Paycheck Protection Program that were intended to assist employees and small businesses battered by the Coronavirus," said U.S. Attorney Byung J. "BJay" Pak. "We will investigate and charge anyone who inappropriately diverts these critical funds for their own personal gain."
Fayne appeared in federal court on the day of his arrest in front of magistrate judge Justin S. Anand of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
Fayne's lawyer, Atlanta attorney Tanya Miller, says he will fight the charges. She issued a statement to The Washington Post saying that she would not try the case through the media and that the government needed to clear up confusion about the stimulus program's rules.
"We will provide the appropriate response in the proper forum once all the information has been provided to us," said Miller in the statement. "There has been considerable confusion among small business owners about PPP guidelines - particularly around the question of whether and how business owners are permitted to pay themselves a salary or owner's draw. This ambiguity and confusion for business owners needs to be addressed immediately as the PPP program is still in its infancy."
Although some PPP applicants have had difficulty navigating the program's rules and some larger employers have decided to return funds, Fayne is charged with using the money for much different purposes than he allegedly stated on his application.
According to the U.S. Attorney's office, Fayne, 37, stated on a loan application to United Community Bank that his trucking company had 107 employees and a monthly payroll of $1.5 million. He allegedly certified that the loan proceeds would be used to "retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest payments, lease payments, and utility payments, as specified under the Paycheck Protection Program Rule."
The FBI assisted with the investigation, along with the SBA's Office of Inspector General. Agents searched Fayne's home in Dacula, outside Atlanta, on May 11 and seized "approximately $80,000 in cash, including $9,400 that Fayne had in his pockets." They also used seizure warrants to take control of approximately $503,000 of remaining PPP funds from three of Fayne's bank accounts, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
"The defendant allegedly egregiously sought personal gain from a program intended to assist hard-working Americans in this challenging time," said Special Agent-in-Charge Kevin Kupperbusch of the SBA's Office of Inspector General.
Fayne, known as "Arkansas Mo" on the show, is one of the only people to be charged with a crime for misuse of funds from the SBA program.

No surprise. I remember a news article from the 50's or 60's where a farmer who got a subsidy for not planting a certain crop (price supports) used the cash to buy a Cadillac. Of course, he was trying to make a point about goverment waste...he said.
Surveillance camera footage shows the moment homeless man Darryl Finney, 62, was set on fire, two days before he died at a Washington D.C. hospital
The Washington Metropolitan Police Department released the footage to recruit the public's help in finding a male suspect seen in the footage
The suspect appears in the footage to dowse the Finney with an unknown liquid and setting it on fire early Wednesday morning.
Finney, after he was set ablaze, managed to get to first responders who arrived on the scene and died at a local hospital from his injuries
A $25,000 reward is being offered by cops to anyone with more information that may lead to the suspect's arrest
The man, who appears to be black, sporting a goatee and wearing a hooded shirt, fuels the start of the fire by dowsing twice with an unknown flammable liquid from a canister before walking away.
The same suspect is believed to have attempted setting another man on fire about 45 minutes earlier also H Street, but about five blocks away, as well as torching a car on Florida Avenue.
Doug Saltsman, CEO of defunct Utah cryptocurrency company Saltmine, was sentenced to 210 days in jail after downloading more than 13,000 images of sexual abuse, rape and beastiality
Saltsman was repentant speaking to a judge when he was facing up to 15 years in prison on a conviction for three felonies related to the case
Instead the judge gave him the 210 day sentence and 48 months of probation. Because of time already served, Saltsman may be out of jail in about two months

It is an absurd sentence as it is. Did this weirdo touch any kids? It doesn't sound like it. If this freak gets his rocks off of videos/files, then, really, so what.
The investigation—dubbed 'Operation Asian Touch'— saw federal agents pay for and receive at least 17 sexual acts from 'Asian females' across five months
The sex-trafficking investigation began in May 2016 after Havasu, Arizona police received complaints that local massage parlors were offering erotic extras
Internal ICE documents show the offices were given permission by their supervisors to go through with the sexual acts
HSI (Dept. of Homeland Security) reports document instance after instance of an undercover federal agent telling a masseuse to 'masturbate him'
In total, nine people would go on to be arrested in the probe, including two women on prostitution charges after performing sex acts on the officers
The case collapsed in 2019 after HSI refused to identify the two officers involved
All felony charges against the alleged ringleaders and workers were dropped, and sex-trafficking experts said the women were likely re-traumatized

Bogalusa police said that despite the “extremely large crowd” attending the memorial, no witnesses have provided information about the incident.
[Jpost] Shots were fired during a memorial service in Bogalusa, Louisiana on Sunday, leaving thirteen people injured, with one of them in critical condition, local police said.
The incident occured during a memorial service for 29-year-old Dominique James, who vanished on May 2 and was found shot to death in his car last week.
Bogalusa police said that despite the “extremely large crowd” attending the memorial, no witnesses have provided information about the incident.
Vanessa Bryant shares photos of 10-month-old daughter Capri and Kobe's dedication to her in his book... one day after autopsy report on helicopter crash victims was released
Vanessa Bryant uploaded two heartwarming posts to Instagram on Saturday
One was a photo of her 10-month-old daughter Capri, the other was of a dedication to her by Kobe in his book Epoca the Tree of Ecrof: Island of the Gods
The Los Angeles County coroner's office released the autopsy reports Friday
The reports confirmed all the crash victims died from blunt trauma
The clinical and graphic report tells describes broken bones, dismembered body parts and a stench of fuel on what remained of clothing that burned
The pilot's report confirmed there were no drugs or alcohol in his system
Kobe Bryant's autopsy revealed the only drug he had in his system was Ritalin
[American Thinker] Today in history, May 18, 1565, one of the most symbolically important military encounters between Islam and Europe began: the Ottoman Turks besieged the tiny island of Malta, in what till then was considered the heaviest bombardment any locale had been subjected to.
Around the start of the sixteenth century, Muslim pirates from Algiers began to terrorize the Christian Mediterranean. Like their terrestrial counterparts, they too were indoctrinated in and emboldened by Muhammad's promises: "A campaign by sea is like ten campaigns by land," the prophet had said, "and he who loses his bearings at sea is like one who sheds his blood in the path of Allah." The piratical lust for booty was, predictably, heightened by dreams of "martyrdom."
When Suleiman "the Magnificent"—better known among Muslims as Suleiman "the Ghazi" (jihadi/raider)—became Ottoman sultan in 1520, he instantly took the most notorious of these Barbary pirates, Khair al-Din Barbarossa, into his service and helped him prosecute the sea jihad on Europe. The ensuing reign of terror forced Europeans along the Mediterranean coast to relive the days of their ancestors in the centuries before the Crusades, when the Middle Sea was first inundated with jihad and slave raiding. Over the following two decades, hundreds of thousands of Europeans were enslaved, so that, by 1541, "Algiers teemed with Christian captives, and it became a common saying that a Christian slave was scarce a fair barter for an onion."

[The Hill] Former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb called on the Trump administration to avoid sidelining the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal published Sunday evening.
Gottlieb wrote in his column that the CDC has released less information than is customary during public health emergencies, and argued that information about the coronavirus is not being shared with the public in an adequate fashion. What goes to the CDC, stays at the CDC.
"New insights have translated into improved care. This knowledge is saving lives and will be especially useful if infections flare up again," he wrote. "Yet such data on patients isn’t being streamlined and shared with the public quickly."
"There are shortcomings in our ability to access the electronic systems designed to help glean facts from clinical data. CDC hasn’t been filling its traditional role of promptly publishing medical findings that may help doctors care for patients," he continued. "Instead, a lot of this information is being passed around social media, by email or even through word of mouth. It’s trial and error on a global scale." Our Indications and Warnings (I&W) would be greatly improved if we just had new laptops for everyone.
Gottlieb echoed his comments in a tweet Sunday evening, writing: "We're not putting out information quickly to improve clinical practice, inform on emerging issues of medical concern, and guidance to help business restart safely. @CDCgov must be elevated in the covid fight, not marginalized."

I believe their annual budget is in the $9 Billion range. They had 1 job, which oddly wasn't related to either obesity or private firearms ownership. Why are THEY not behind bars?

The CDC is more concerned and interested in politics than medicine.
Now please explain why an organization that has had a long history of mediocrity especially with this pandemic, testing anyone, should be elevated to anything other than the gallows?

I think his tweet touched on a major conntributing factor to his problem:
"We're not putting out information quickly to improve clinical practice, inform on emerging issues of medical concern, and guidance to help business restart safely."
Yup. Complicit/compliant media, starting with the hydroxycholoquine issue - "Trump said it, so it must be stupid" headline that went on for weeks.
Sometimes I think the real "Deep State" is the media.

The CDC and FDC didn't exactly cover themselves with glory during this outbreak. If anything, it showed that the large, massive government agencies are pretty inept and not worth the money we throw at them.
[Washington Examiner] Nearly 300 fewer people have died in Colorado directly from the coronavirus than was originally reported, according to revised data from the state.
Colorado health officials now report that as of May 9, 878 people died "due to" the coronavirus, and 1,150 people died "among" COVID-19 cases, according to Fox 31 News Denver.
Health officials revised the way they report coronavirus death toll figures in response to questions and complaints about whether they were properly attributed.
"We have been reporting at the state, deaths among people who had COVID-19 at the time of death and the cause of that death may or may not have been COVID-19," Colorado Department of Health and Environment Chief Medical Officer Eric France said on Friday.
"We started to hear stories about ’are these correct or are these incorrect?'" he said.
One of those stories involved a Colorado coroner who pushed back against the state’s decision to classify a death in his jurisdiction as a coronavirus death, even though the coroner found that the man, who had the coronavirus, died of alcohol poisoning.
"This afternoon Colorado just cut its reported #COVID deaths by almost 25% - from 1150 to 878," former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson, who has become leading a COVID-19 contrarian, said on Twitter.

We still haven't gotten the autopsy results of my friend who died in a fire last month. I'm really wondering at this point if they mislabled it to conform with Waltz's fraudulent Wuhan Flu numbers.
If anyone gets the virus in Wisconsin and they are transported to Duluth, Saint Paul or Rochester their numbers are STILL counted as Minnesota cases.
The move comes as outrage mounts over sidewalks clogged with tents and dire conditions in the Tenderloin amid the coronavirus pandemic. The number of tents pitched on sidewalks and other public areas is up by 71 percent citywide and 285 percent in the Tenderloin since January, according to a recent count by The City.
The first designated encampment, or safe sleeping site, is in a fenced-off area on Fulton Street near City Hall and contains roughly 50 tents spaced apart for social distancing, along with a handful of portable toilets, a couple of handwashing stations and 24-hour security. Officials say food, access to showers and cleaning services will also be provided.
According to the plaintiffs, Whitmer has continually extended her stay-at-home order to "flatten the curve" from the Wuhan coronavirus. The group believes Whitmer continually extending her stay-at-home order – without approval from the state legislature – infringes upon individual rights and liberties.
The state originally anticipated 220,000 hospitalizations as a result of the Wuhan coronavirus. As of April 27th, that number sat at 3,000, making it less than 1.4 percent of the projected hospitalizations. Michigan is prepared should any additional cases come forward, with over 2,400 ventilators available, almost 1,000 ICU beds and more than 7,000 unoccupied hospital beds.
Grand Health performs endoscopies, appendectomies, various types of hernia surgeries and repairs, as well as bariatric surgeries, all of which have been deemed elective. Because Whitmer's stay-at-home order, doctors are having to wait until patients are in dire need of surgery before the procedures are carried out.
Wellston Medical Center and Primary Health Services provide primary care services for rural residents who are predominantly on Medicare or Medicaid. The stay-at-home order resulted in a 95 percent drop in the number of patients the clinics could see. Not having the ability to schedule simple in-office procedures resulted in at least one hospitalization.
Prosecutors said Friday the elderly Camden woman died in April after contracting the coronavirus from the aide, Josefina Brito-Hernandez, 49. Four other members of the woman’s household also became infected, including two developmentally disabled siblings, they said.
“In Camden, a home health aide that was symptomatic was told to self-isolate after testing,” New Jersey Police Superintendent Patrick Callahan said at New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s coronavirus briefing Friday, referring to Brito-Hernandez.
“She ultimately came back positive and went against instructions and actually went into a home the next day to care for a few different family members,” Callahan said.

She said four people recovered from COVID-19, bringing the total number of people who have been discharged from hospitals to 152.

[AA.TR] Survivors of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide have demanded that its financier Felicien Kabuga, who was arrested in Gay Paree on Saturday, be tried in the African nation.
Ibuka, an umbrella organization of survivor associations, said in a statement: "Getting to know about the arrest of Félicien Kabuga while we are still in 100 days of the 26th commemoration is a heart softening and exciting information that every survivor was looking for."
"Ibuka, therefore, wishes that Kabuga could be brought to Rwanda for trial and serving his sentence where he participated in these atrocities," the daily New Times reported, citing the statement.
"If there is anything good for survivors, it is to see those who are responsible for more than one million lives lost during the genocide against Tutsi being held accountable for their participation," it added.
Ibuka’s call comes as the UN-established International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) earlier said that Kabuga will be tried from its headquarters in Tanzania’s city of Arusha.
"Following completion of appropriate procedures under French law, Kabuga is expected to be transferred to the custody of the Mechanism, where he will stand trial," IRMCT was quoted as saying.
Known as the financier of the Rwandan genocide, runaway Kabuga was arrested on Saturday morning in a suburb of Gay Paree in the Ile-de-La Belle France.
On the run for 26 years, Kabuga was living under a false identity.
He was the creator of the Hutu militias, the groups primarily responsible for the biggest genocide of the 20th century.
The Rwandan Genocide was a mass slaughter of rebel Tutsi and Hutu forces by the Rwandan government during the Rwandan Civil War in the spring and summer of 1994. It is estimated that half a million to just over a million people were killed.
Kabuga was also a part of the inner circle of former President Juvenal Habyarimana, whose liquidation ignited the conflict.

China’s Communist government in Beijing has ordered 108 million people into lockdown as the deadly Wuhan virus breaks out again, this time in the country’s northeast. That’s about one in twelve mainland Chinese. Bill Gates and Fauci sure get around.
Maybe them Chinks should try parading around with their AR-15 on their shoulder
Bloomberg reports "a new and growing cluster of infections" in Jilin province bordering North Korea.
China’s Communist Party chief Xi Jinping had claimed back in March that the People’s Republic was winning its "people’s war" against the Wuhan virus, but a recent leak from a Chinese military-run university indicates that the country may have at least 640,000 COVID-19 cases.
That is, shall we say, somewhat more than the 82,929 COVID infections that the mainland government will admit to.
If accurate, the 840,000 figure indicates that as many as 50,000 mainland Chinese have died from the Wuhan virus, or ten times mainland China’s official figure. A renewed outbreak in the country’s northeast is a sure sign that the Communist government was lying back March when it claimed to have contained the outbreak.
Far from containing the Wuhan virus, some believe that Communist China purposely infected the world through unrestricted international travel, while forbidding residents of Hubei province, the source of the infection, from domestic travel to other parts of China.
Among those is Yours Truly and (more importantly) President Donald Trump’s trade advisor, Peter Navarro.

[IsraelTimes] Tests on hamsters reveal the widespread use of face masks reduces transmission of the deadly coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... , a team of leading experts in Hong Kong say.
The research by the University of Hong Kong is some of the first to specifically investigate whether masks can stop symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers from infecting others.
Led by Professor Yuen Kwok-yung, one of the world’s top coronavirus experts, the team placed hamsters that were artificially infected with the disease next to healthy animals.
Surgical masks were placed between the two cages with air flow traveling from the infected animals to the healthy ones.
The researchers find non-contact transmission of the virus could be reduced by more than 60 percent when the masks were used.
Two-thirds of the healthy hamsters were infected within a week if no masks were applied.
The infection rate plunged to just over 15 percent when surgical masks were put on the cage of the infected animals and by about 35 percent when placed on the cage with the healthy hamsters.
Those that did become infected were also found to have less of the virus within their bodies than those infected without a mask.
"It’s very clear that the effect of masking the infected, especially when they are asymptomatic — or symptomatic — it’s much more important than anything else," Yuen tells news hounds.
"It also explained why universal masking is important because we now have known that a large number of those infected have no symptom."
Yuen was one of the microbiologists who discovered the SARS virus — a predecessor of the current coronavirus — when it emerged in 2003, killing some 300 people in Hong Kong.

99% of the people in Hong Kong wear a mask (moi aussi). About 1,060 cases and 4 deaths in a region with 7.5 million people. Arguably a densely populated city/region.

[TheWarZone/TheDrive] After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Navy acquired the same Kh-31 missiles that threatened its ships and made them into anti-ship missile targets.
It's extremely important for any military to make its training regimens as realistic as possible to give its forces the best sense of the threats they might face in combat and how to respond to them. Unfortunately, developing high-quality surrogates for the weapons and other systems that potential adversaries might employ is not always easy and in some cases, it ends up being possible to just go to the source of the threat itself.
The U.S. Navy faced just this predicament in the 1990s when it went looking for a high-speed target to simulate supersonic anti-ship and anti-radiation missiles and ultimately decided to just buy the MA-31, a derivative of Russia's air-launched rocket-ramjet-powered Kh-31 missile
Clinton assisted Russian kh-31 Krypton ASM program The titanium Kh-31 was built in 1988 by the Russian Zvezda-Strela State Science and Production Center for the former Soviet Union. The PM version of the Krypton missile offers extended range and features improved passive seeker electronics, enabling it to pick up a wide range of radar targets.
The PM also incorporates into its design virtually all of the improvements suggested by a team of U.S. military engineers who worked on the Krypton during the Clinton years.
They didn't just buy the missiles, they gave the Russians the money to get their development program unstuck in the late 90's, including all the data from the leftover Talos missiles we used as targets until then, so they could provide us with targets, they got what data they needed and didn't deliver anything in return.

[IsraelTimes] Iranian officials confirm that a fire broke out early Friday morning at the site of an ancient shrine revered by Iranian Jews as the burial place of the biblical Esther and Mordechai. But they stress that no damage was done to the hall housing the tomb itself. "We anticipate next week's fire will do much more damage"
An investigation has revealed that a person was caught in CCTV footage trying to enter the holy site through an adjacent bank and "perform a series of actions" but "failed," opposition news sites say, citing a report in the state-run Islamic Theocratic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
The report says the cameras had registered the person’s face, but "information about the person’s motives and identity cannot be provided until they are arrested."
The attack came on May 15, a day after the 72nd anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel, raising widespread suspicion that it was a hate crime against Jews and the Jewish state.
