[FoxBusiness] A former Colorado funeral home owner pleaded guilty on Tuesday to defrauding families by selling body parts of the deceased without the consent of their relatives.
Megan Hess ran the Sunset Mesa funeral home and a human body parts business called Donor Services from the same building. She admitted in federal court on Tuesday to defrauding at least a dozen families who wished for their loved ones to be cremated. Court records show her body dealer firm harvested heads, spines, legs and arms, and then sold them – mostly for surgical and educational purposes.
Hess, who had previously pleaded not guilty, is set to be sentenced in January. Prosecutors are asking for 12 to 15 years in jail. Hess has been out on bond since her arrest.
She and her mother, Shirley Koch, operated the funeral home and were indicted by a grand jury in March 2020 over accusations they were using the funeral home to sell body parts, forging signatures and misleading families about what happened to their relatives’ remains.
Hess and Koch founded a nonprofit organization called Sunset Mesa Funeral Foundation in 2009. The organization was a "body-broker service" operating out of the funeral home doing business selling body parts to third parties, authorities said.
The indictment said that, from 2010 through 2018, Hess and Koch charged customers at least $1,000 for cremations, many of which never happened. They also offered free cremations in exchange for a body donation.
The families received ashes from bins mixed with the remains of various cadavers, prosecutors said. One customer was given a concrete mix as an alternative to their family member's ashes.
A former employee accused Hess of earning $40,000 by extracting and selling the gold teeth of some deceased individuals, court documents revealed.
The two women also shipped bodies and body parts that had either tested positive for, or belonged to people who died from infectious diseases, including Hepatitis B and C, and HIV. This was done despite certifying to buyers that the bodies did not contain disease, authorities said.
[NYPOST] A 70-year-old Missouri man is facing charges in the beating death of his disabled sister — a crime police said the man carried out because he was frustrated about having to care for her.
Medics and officers were called to a home Sunday in an unincorporated part of St. Louis County by Anthony Sokolich, who said his sister was unresponsive, the St. Louis Count Police Department said in a statement Tuesday.
Officers found Katherine Sokolich, 63, with serious injuries to her face, and she was taken to a hospital with a brain bleed, the department said.
"The defendant subsequently admitted to striking her multiple times prior to her being unresponsive," police said.
Police said Anthony Sokolich was arrested and charged Sunday with felony assault. His sister later died at the hospital, and police said they expected his charges to be upgraded. Sokolich was set to appear in court on Tuesday.

Whew! Glad that's been taken care of, so we can move on to the next thing.
[IJR] A proposal suggesting schools should call slavery "involuntary relocation" has been rejected by the Texas State Board of Education.
The board issued a statement, saying, "As documented in the meeting minutes, the SBOE provided feedback in the meeting indicating that the working group needed to change the language related to ’involuntary relocation.'"
The statement continued, "Any assertion that the SBOE is considering downplaying the role of slavery in American history is completely inaccurate."
The chair of the State Board of Education, Keven Ellis, told The Washington Post the board "voted unanimously to send the language back to be reworked."
Aicha Davis, a Democratic board member representing Dallas and Fort Worth, reportedly saw the proposed language the group of educators wanted to suggest and "immediately questioned it," as the Post reported.
She added, "I am not going to support anything that describes the slave trade as ’involuntary relocation.'"
Davis continued, "I’m not gonna support anything that diminishes that journey."
Texas education made headlines in 2021 after Gov. Greg Abbott ... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too... (R) signed an anti-Critical Race Theory
...teaches that skin color is the most important characteristic of any person, which translates to separate but equal with a different bunch in charge. All whites and Asians are born racist and racism permeates every aspect of society, which should be dismantled and the remains turned over to the kind of dipshit who pushes this nonsense... bill, as The Hill reported.
The legislation stated that schools cannot teach that "an individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of the individual ’s race or sex."
Additionally, schools cannot "require an understanding of The 1619 Project."
Schools are also not allowed to teach that "an individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex."
Students are required to be educated on "the history of white supremacy ...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values... , including but not limited to the institution of slavery, the eugenics movement, and the Ku Klux Klan, and the ways in which it is morally wrong."

"Involuntary Relocation" is what happen to many indigenous natives. Trail of Tears being the most prominent. Similar attempts to remove the Seminoles from their land in Florida failed. [as had the NCAA attempt to remove their name from Florida State University athletic program]
From June 14th.
[FoxNews] Miami’s iconic, Spanish-language conservative talk radio station Radio Mambi could soon be controlled by political strategists who worked for President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. The pending sale to a George Soros-linked group has caused outrage inside the station, throughout Miami’s Cuban-American community and among conservative media watchdogs.
Radio Mambi, which is historically linked to the Cuban exile community and offers an anti-communism view, would be controlled by a group of liberals partially funded by Soros, a far-left billionaire, if the $60 million deal is approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Media Research Center director of MRC Latino Jorge Bonilla blasted the move as a power grab by the left.
"This is about power, this is about control. This is not about free speech. This is not about this misinformation. This is about controlling the flow of information to a specific community for political purposes, and that is what makes this deal, I think, so controversial," Bonilla told Fox News Digital.
Bonilla believes the looming takeover has a specific, strategic purpose as influential liberals are set to control Miami's "mainstay of the right" in addition to Spanish-language stations in other major markets, including New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Antonio.
The formation of the Latino Media Network, a new network set to be made up of 18 Hispanic radio stations including Radio Mambi, was partially financed by Lakestar Finance, an investment group affiliated with Soros Fund Management. The stations, currently owned by Univision, would be controlled by Jess Morales Rocketto, a former Hillary for America and AFL-CIO employee, and Stephanie Valencia, a former Obama White House staffer, if the venture receives FCC approval.
Bonilla believes it’s an "unprecedented" situation, and he had a hard time coming up with a comparison until conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh came to mind.
"I guess the closest equivalent would be to imagine Rush Limbaugh's affiliate in New York City. His flagship in New York City at the height of when he first came out and made a ruckus in the '90s," Bonilla said. "Imagine a Clintonite group coming in and buying that station out and basically setting up [former left-wing radio network] Air America in its place and knocking Rush Limbaugh off the air."
Bonilla learned of an all-hands meeting last Thursday in which Valencia traveled to Miami to help ease tensions inside the station. Fox News Digital has confirmed the meeting took place, and that Valencia was accompanied by Cuban-born, anti-Trump conservative Al Cardenas in an attempt to calm panicked staffers. Cardenas is married to liberal CNN political commentator Ana Navarro, who remains a Republican but worked in Florida to elect Joe Biden in 2020 and openly supports Democrats.
During the meeting, the former Obama aide claimed "nothing will change" at Radio Mambi, but employees don’t buy it.
"Nobody believes her," a Radio Mambi insider who attended the meeting told Fox News Digital. "Honestly, they really believe we are stupid."
Bonilla feels that liberals controlling Radio Mambi would be a significant factor in the 2024 presidential election, as the Hispanic community doesn’t have many well-established conservative media options. Florida's shift to the right in the past two presidential elections has mirrored an increase in Latino support for Republicans – former President Trump comfortably carried Florida in 2020 over Biden, in part by making major gains in Miami-Dade County with increased support from Cuban-Americans.
"So Miami, because of its ecosystem, where it's a city populated on the Hispanic side, mostly by victims of communism and their descendants, that makes Miami and that Miami market very unique in the nation," Bonilla said. "I think that this is an effort to sort of consolidate control of the message Hispanics receive."
The Soros-backed group would take control of the station in 2023 if the FCC approves the deal.

It would be easy to take over a poor-serving station and transfer all the resources, relocating Mambi and leaving the assholes with an Air-America clone

The left hasn't had much success with talk radio in the past.
Conservative radio star Lourdes Ubieta has quit Miami’s iconic, Spanish-language conservative talk station Radio Mambi ahead of a planned takeover by a George Soros-linked liberal group and will move to upstart Americano Media on a full-time basis.

I keep wondering if it is decades of corruption and shoddy housekeeping coming home to roost rather than active sabotage. Explosives are made to go Boom! and manufacturing / storing them safely requires care and attention.
Alright folks, this is a logistical 🧵on pallets, cranes, ISO containers, and what we are _NOT_ seeing on Russian Trucks in Ukraine

[IsraelTimes] Faezeh Hashemi indicted for reportedly saying demand to remove IRGC from US terror list is ’damaging’ to Tehran’s interests, referring to Mohammed’s daughter as a ’businesswoman’
The daughter of Iran’s former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani ... the fourth President of Iran. He was a member of the Assembly of Experts until he was eased out in 2011 He continues, for the moment, as Chairman of the Expediency Discernment Council. In 2005 he ran for a third term as president, ultimately losing to rival Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was in Khamenei's graces back then. In 1980 Rafsanjani survived an assassination attempt, during which he was seriously injured. He has been described as a centrist and a pragmatic conservative without all that much reason. He is currently being eased out of any position of actual influence or power and may be dead by the end of 2012... was charged with carrying out propaganda activity against the country and blasphemy ...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran... in social media comments, the judiciary said Sunday.
"The indictment... has been issued and referred to the court on the charges of propaganda activity against the system of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... and blasphemy," Tehran’s chief prosecutor Ali Salehi said, according to the judiciary’s website Mizan Online.
The charges are connected to comments reportedly made by Faezeh Hashemi, 59, a former politician and a women’s rights activist muppet, during an audio debate on a social media forum in April.
Hashemi is reported to have said that Iran’s demand for the Revolutionary Guards — the ideological arm of the country’s military — to be removed from a US terror list was "damaging" to the country’s "national interests," according to local media. Removal of the terror designation of the Guards is a key sticking point in negotiations over restoring Tehran’s frayed 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
Hashemi also made separate comments concerning Khadija, the wife of the Prophet Mohammed. She is reported to have called Khadija a "businesswoman," showing that women can also engage in economic activity, and whose money the prophet spent.
She later said the comments had been a "joke... without any intention of causing insult," state news agency IRNA reported.
Hashemi’s late father was a relative moderate who advocated improved ties with the West and the United States.
Yes, but during his term in office Iran’s scientists continued working toward designing a nuclear bomb and making enough uranium to build one in order to wipe out those uppity Jews in the Zionist entity. It’s just that life was pleasanter for Iran’s citizens when he was in charge.
In 2012, she was sentenced to six months in jail on charges of "propaganda against the Islamic Theocratic Republic."
