Assange: WikiLeaks Did Not Receive Documents From Russian Government

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Thursday denied that emails WikiLeaks released from the email account of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta or from the Democratic National Committee came from the Russian government.

Assange appeared on Sean Hannity’s radio show.

His statement runs counter to a reported assessment from the CIA that the Russian government hacked the DNC and Podesta with the goal of supporting Donald Trump’s campaign.

“Our source is not the Russian government,” said Assange.

Hannity wanted the point clarified.

“In other words, let me be clear, Russia did not give you the Podesta documents or...

In a horrible story coming out of Germany, a Muslim teen raped and murdered a German girl. If that was not bad enough, he had raped and attempted to murder a girl in Greece three years earlier. The Greek police not only knew about the entire story and the person who did it, but still allowed him to go to Germany in spite of his horrible crimes:

The suspect of Freiburg had already been sentenced to ten years of imprisonment and served jail time in Greece
But still, he was released as part of an amnesty, allegedly because of over crowded prisons.

An expert supposes that in fact it was about party-politics for the Syriza government.

Much has been said and written on the case of the alleged woman killer of Freiburg, an Afghan refugee who was already in prison for a similar crime in Greece. Ten years’ imprisonment was the verdict after he had thrown a young woman off a cliff.

However, after only one and a half years, he was released in October 2015 as part of an amnesty, with the requirement to...

Francisco Valdivia and Rosalina Lopez are accused of murdering Cecelia Bravo
Bravo has been missing since June, but her body has not been found
Authorities claim Valdivia married Bravo so he could get legal permission to stay in the US
The motive is believed to be connected to the relationship between the three

A bigamist accused of killing his second wife with the help of his first has been charged with murder months after the victim disappeared.

The body of Cecelia Bravo Cabrera has yet to be found, but investigators say they have evidence implicating Mexican couple Francisco Valdivia, 37, and Rosalina Lopez, 39.

Authorities claim Valdivia, of Visalia in central California, married Cabrera so he could get legal permission to remain in the US.

Valdivia and Lopez, who married in Mexico in 2007, were arrested on Tuesday. Cabrera has been missing since June 9, when she was seen leaving a casino with Valdivia. He had just finished a 90-day sentence for cultivating marijuana when he was arrested.

Police discovered a number of sites where Valdivia was growing marijuana while investigating his wife's disappearance.

The motive is unclear, but is said to be connected to the relationship between the two suspects, who arrived in the US illegally, and their victim.

Mother-of-four Cabrera, who was very active on social media until her disappearance, knew her marriage to Valdivia was a sham, but investigators believe he and Lopez threatened her if she ended the...

Former Used, Abused And Discarded Disney IT Workers Claim Discrimination In Lawsuit

ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — A group of information technology workers laid off by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts claims they were victims of discrimination.

The say they were forced to train their replacements from India before they were fired.

On Monday, the 30 former IT workers filed a suit against the companyin an Orlando federal court. They’re seeking punitive damages.

The lawsuit contends that 250 IT workers in Florida were told they would need to train their replacements before they were fired at the end of 2014. Each replacement worker was of Indian origin, and was either brought from overseas or working outside the United States, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit also alleges violations of the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act, which protects workers from age discrimination.

Disney managers were “being curt and unprofessional toward plaintiffs but treating the foreign replacements with special treatment,” the lawsuit said. “Plaintiffs were subjected to disparate treatment by defendant solely based on...

The street outside the empty embassy in Belgrave Square, London, was closed off as it filled with protestors and Islamic leaders chanting loudly and calling for America to be punished over Aleppo.

The demonstration became an alternative to an official rally calling for an end to the bloodshed in Syria outside Downing Street.

During the speeches which lasted almost an hour the crowd chanted Allahu Akbar 'God is the greatest' and cheered for those calling for a global caliphate.

A poet invited to talk shouted: "We need a Caliph who will clean up these streets. Who will smack up armies and who will back beef [fighting].

"Backhand your missiles back to your land, that’s the plan.

"World domination at hand. We can expand and take out these fools."

The crowd largely segregated into men and women with many of the women wearing Islamic clothing. According to website Breitbart one protester appeared to be waving a Taliban flag, while others were handed placards made by Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain, which calls for the reestablishment of a caliphate.

It is unclear who...

Enrique Zamarripa, the grieving father of Dallas police Officer Patrick Zamarripa who was killed in the attack on Dallas police this past summer, has filed a 43-page lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas.

Zamarripa blames Black Lives Matter for the deadly ambush on his son, and is suing to prove his case. In addition to the now notorious protest group, Zamarripa has named several other individuals and organizations.

The case is going to be easy. While Black Limes Matter may be a relatively young organization, the Nation of Islam, Reverend Al Sharpton, the New Black Panthers Party and activist DeRay McKesson all have experience with litigation.

Zamarripa is undeterred. He’s seeking $550 million in damages.

CIA refuses to hand over so-called proof of Russian hacking to help Trump

The absolutely incredible claim from the Central Intelligence Agency that Russian hackers somehow put Donald Trump over the top in the election is falling apart.

Both the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), which oversees all the U.S. intelligence agencies, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reject the CIA’s analysis.

And now Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) just said on Fox News Channel a few minutes ago that the Central Intelligence Agency is refusing to hand over whatever evidence it may have about Russian wrongdoing.

“It’s almost as if people in the intelligence community are carrying out a disinformation campaign against the president-elect of the United States. It’s absolutely disgraceful.”

King, by the way, is a member of the Homeland Security Committee and chairman of the Sub-Committee on (Counterterrorism and Intelligence). He also serves on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Could it be the CIA — which employs more than a few Trump haters — doesn’t actually have any evidence? If they have proof they should...
