Prince Harry’s Charity in Africa Accused of Widespread Torture and Rape
by Paul Serran0 Comments
All over the world, a number of charitable initiatives are sometimes
involved in shady practices, especially in underdeveloped areas.
Now it arises that Prince Harry’s African conservation charity is facing renewed torture allegations.
A former park ranger has now admitted to tying up suspects and
beating them, including using a horrific torture technique called ‘the
swing.’
The allegations of rape and abuse by Zambian African Park rangers
became public for the first time in January, but now, Dutch journalist
Olivier van Beemen has published additional accusations in a book
called Entrepreneurs in the Wild.
Van Beemen’s book tells how African Parks once debated whether Harry
could pose a reputational risk to them, but now it clearly seems to be
the other way around, as allegations against the charity have caused a
reputational crisis for Harry.
Former ranger Foster Kalunga explained the torture method called kampelwa – or ‘swing.’
Newsweek reported:
“‘Sometimes we use kampelwa’, said Kalunga, a ranger in
Liuwa Plain national park for five years until 2022. ‘Then you tie
someone up, hands and feet tied together, behind his back, and you hang
him on a stick between two branches. And then you spin him around while
you hit him. It doesn’t last long because it hurts a lot. When he hangs
there he says everything you want, even things he doesn’t know’.
African Parks told Newsweek in a statement: ‘The book is replete with
hundreds of factual inaccuracies and a similar number of intentionally
misleading statements, which reflect the author’s own prejudices and his
confirmation bias to paint a negative account of African Parks. In
particular, his accounts of alleged human rights abuses are deeply
flawed and based on statements taken from accused criminal offenders and
dismissed employees, or relate to incidents that have no relation to
African Parks. African Parks has a strict zero tolerance policy for any
form of human rights abuse, and we deeply regret any violations that
might occur’.”
Kalunga, African Parks have stated, was discharged for ‘gross misconduct’ after assaulting a senior officer.
The charity also said that no records or knowledge exist of ‘kampelwa’ being used by the rangers under their management.
Prince Harry was president of the NGO before being promoted to its
board of directors last year, a position that awards him responsibility
for policy.
“When news of the scandal first broke in January, Harry and
Meghan’s Archewell Foundation said in a statement: ‘When the Duke became
aware of these serious allegations, he immediately escalated them to
the CEO and chairman of the board of African Parks, the appropriate
people to handle next steps.'”

BUSTED! UCLA Chief of DEI
Who Led Students in “Free Palestine” Chant Has Reportedly Been Caught
Plagiarizing 10 Papers in Her Ph.D. Dissertation
by Patty McMurray468 Comments
Natalie
Perry has reportedly been caught cheating her way into a highly
important and well-paid DEI Director position at the UCLA David Geffen
School of Medicine.
The woke UCLA gushes about the university’s DEI Director on its website,
boasting about “Dr. Perry, who holds a Ph.D. in higher education
(University of Virginia), an EdM in teaching and curriculum (Harvard
University), and a BA in African American and African Studies (Ohio
State University).”
The woke university is so proud of Dr. Perry’s doctoral dissertation
that they even highlight it in their introduction to the so-called DEI
expert:
“Her doctoral dissertation (“Faculty Perceptions of
Diversity at a Highly Selective Research-Intensive University”) examined
institutional commitment to diversity from the perspective of
organizational values. Dr. Perry’s wealth of experience in understanding
and improving the culture of higher education, including in an academic
health system, will be invaluable to our ongoing efforts to embed our
aspirational Cultural North Star’s value into our organizational DNA.”
The only problem is that, like many so-called professionals who are
being paid obscene amounts of money to shove “diversity, equity, and
inclusion” down the throats of students and faculty alike, Dr. Perry has
been accused of being a cheater, and the incredible independent
journalist Christopher Ruffo claims he has evidence of his accusations.
In The City Journal, Ruffo and Rosniak write:
Recent headlines about UCLA School of Medicine
suggest that the institution has lost its focus. Instead of brushing up
on organic chemistry, its students were subjected to lessons on
“Indigenous womxn” and “two-spirits.” Future doctors had to take a class
on “structural racism” and were led in a “Free Palestine” chant by a
Hamas-praising guest speaker. The school made plans to segregate
students by race for courses on left-wing ideology, and two of its
psychiatry residents championed “revolutionary suicide.”
In a series of tweets, Rufo and fellow journalist Luke Rosiak reveal
the stunning truth about a woke phony’s dissertation that UCLA claims
“will be invaluable” to their ongoing efforts to make people less
racist.

In his first tweet, Ruffo explains how UCLA’s med school has been in
the news recently “for promoting ideology about ‘Indigenous womxn,’
‘two-spirits,’ and ‘structural racism.'” And about how a “guest speaker
praised, and two residents championed ‘revolutionary suicide.’
The DEI director, who advances “anti-racism,” is Natalie Perry.
Ruffo writes: “According to our exclusive analysis, Perry’s career is
predicated on academic fraud. Her PhD dissertation plagiarized material
from ten other papers, which she did not attribute or put in
quotations.” He adds, “The examples are brazen.”
In a side-by-side comparison of Natalie Perry’s paper, which
discusses the US Supreme Court case in which Jennifer Gratz sued the
University of Michigan over discriminatory practices they used to admit
less qualified students and a paper written by several authors on the
same topic, it’s clear Perry relied heavily on plagiarizing their work.
In this example, they show Perry plagiarizing sources that are shown on the right.
In yet another example, Perry appears to have plagiarized the work of
Adalberto Aguirre Jr. and Ruben Martinez on diversity, which the UCLA
Diversity Chief was so passionate about that she had to copy others’
work.
The Independent journalist who worked with Luke Rosiak of the Daily
Wire on this incredible story continues to expose “Dr. Perry’s” blatant
plagiarism.
Rosiak tweeted about some of the ridiculous statements made by UCLA’s
DEI czar, who “blamed opiates on ‘whiteness'” and led a class in
chanting “Free Palestine!”
Ruffo writes:
Throughout the paper, Perry copies and pastes large sections of text
from other authors. When she has to rely on original work, she often
lapses into serious errors and basic grammatical problems. The paper—of
course—was about DEI at universities.
In January, Harvard President Claudine Gay, who also appeared to be
in support of Hamas/Palestine, was fired when she was exposed for
plagiarism. The media blamed conservative news outlets for uncovering
the scandal. The AP called Gay, who, like Natalie Perry, is a cheater
and a fraud, a “target” who “put her career under intense scrutiny.”
Harvard President Claudine Gay speaks at a hearing. (House Committee on Education & the Workforce / YouTube)
Much like Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren cheated on her
application when she lied and said she was part Native American, as a
way to cut in front of other applicants for a job at Harvard University,
“Dr.” Perry cheated when she copied the hard work of others to obtain
her PhD, which helped her to get the ridiculous job as UCLA Medical
School’s DEI Director.

PURE EVIL: Michigan
Caregiver Viciously Beats Helpless 93-Year-Old Dementia Patient Before
Choking Her – Victim’s Daughter Reveals How Family Caught the Attack on
Tape (VIDEO)
A horrifying video has emerged showing the moment an evil
Michigan caregiver assaulted a 93-year-old dementia patient, and the
victim’s daughter is speaking out.
According to WEYI,
the incident occurred at Landings of Genesee Valley in Flint, Michigan
on April 4, but the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office obtained and
released footage of the assault Thursday during a press conference.
The sick footage shows the perpetrator repeatedly smashing a full
diaper over the elderly woman’s head while she sits in her wheelchair
and raises her arms.
The sinister caregiver then chokes the woman in the bathroom before
violently slapping her in the mouth. The footage concludes with the
young monster raising her fists and threatening her victim.
WATCH:
The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office identified Dontia Shawnra Arrington as the person who assaulted the innocent old woman.
Suspect: Dontia Shawnra Arrington Credit: Genesee County Sheriff’s Department
During the press conference, Sheriff Chris Swanson said the patient had no clue what was happening due to her severe dementia.
“She has no idea what’s going on,” he said. “She can’t process what we process on a regular basis.”
“You see the vulnerability of the victim and the fact that
she’s getting hit with a two-to-three-pound soiled diaper,” he
continued. “But if that isn’t enough when she brought her hand across
her throat in a chokehold, that can kill people, especially a
93-year-old.”
The heartbroken victim’s daughter also spoke at the press conference. She was puzzled about how anyone could be capable of such malice.
“I’m watching, and all I kept saying was, ‘Why are you doing this to
my mom?’ she told the press. “She’s 93, 5-foot tall, a little 130-pound
lady, never been in a fight her whole life.”
“Horrified. Just horrified,” she added.
The daughter then revealed
how they caught the assault on tape. She explained that her family
planted the nanny cam in the room back in December to discover why her
mother had been suffering bruises. It took a few attempts to catch the
abuse.
The camera also caught staff stealing from her mom, who was a patient at the facility for around five years.
She noted her mom has since been transferred to another facility where she is receiving proper treatment.
Arrington has been charged
with torture with intent to cause cruel or extreme physical or mental
pain and suffering. This carries a sentence of up to life in prison.
She is also charged with
vulnerable adult abuse, which is punishable by up to 15 years in
prison, and assault with intent to cause great bodily harm less than
murder or by strangulation. The latter carries a maximum penalty of 10
years.

Two Dead, 14 Wounded, shot at Memphis “Block Party”, part of America’s Lawless Leftist Cities
by Benjamin Wetmore79 Comments
Yesterday evening, at a Memphis, Tennessee ‘block party’, two were killed and at least 14 injured in a shooting spree at what some are calling a ‘420 celebration’ involving weed.
More than 300 shots were fired, causing participants to flee.
The shooting happened in Memphis at the corner of Carnes Avenue and
Grand Street, which is right next to Orange Mound Park in central
Memphis.
Some participants were reportedly openly carrying rifles and weapons.
Online, some have already claimed that the media will not report on
this incident because many of the rally participants appear to be
African Americans. The political left typically complains about the way language is used related to racial crime stories,
and the political right sometimes complains about how the mainstream
media suppresses the race of criminal defendants or in the presentation
of crime statistics to hide the frequency of offenses by specific racial
groups.
The motive of the shooters is not known at this time, and the Memphis
Police report that they are still investigating the crimes involved.
Memphis Mayor Paul Young, who was elected in the past year, is faced
with a city of 621,000 and one of the highest crime rates in the
country.
The prior Mayor blamed the District Attorney and court system for its weak-on-crime policies, releasing violent criminals from prison, and low bond policies, as causing the rise in Memphis’ crime problems.
Then-Mayor Strickland said in 2023:
“…ask the District Attorney’s and the judges and the
judicial commissioners and the people who run our state prisons. Why are
they letting these people out so quickly? That’s the problem. You
oughta talk to the court system, what are they doing about crime?”
Strickland said. “I’ll tell you what they’re doing, they’re letting
criminals out on the street violent criminals back out on the street,
low bonds.”
Memphis had its highest crime rate in history in 2023. With 2022 data, Memphis had the highest violent crime rate in the country, which included 397 murders.
Memphis radically changed its bail system in August 2022.
The changes included revising the way in which bail was set by a judge.
Bail is the insurance provided by a defendant to show up for future
court dates. Without a financial penalty, many choose to simply ignore
court subpoenas. The normal ‘failure to appear’ rate for criminal
defendants in normal courts is around three percent. In areas that have
enacted left-wing bail reform, the ‘failure to appear’ usually hovers
around 50 percent. The American Civil Liberties Union “ACLU”, which was
originally founded to help Communists resist the World War 1 draft, praised the Memphis bail reform decision.
Many in New York State are convinced
that left-wing ‘bail reform’ there caused violent crime to skyrocket
throughout the state, especially in the major cities.
Crime has substantially increased throughout America since the
disputed 2020 election. Conservatives typically blame “soft on crime”
policies such as releasing violent criminals from prison, low/no bond
arrangements where criminals aren’t motivated to even show up to court
once released from jail, among other policies. Liberals have typically
blamed poverty as the cause of crime, either because a defendant needs
money or because they haven’t been able to get an education to become
too educated to commit crime.
And of course the political left will also use word play and statistics abuse in order to gaslight America that violent crime is going down, such as when National Public Radio said as much earlier this year, “In cities big and small, from both coasts, violence has dropped.”
(Come on..... Where did they think the money was going?
What did they think they were donating for?
How many people have been caught so far? WAY TOO MANY TO COUNT
Come on !!! )

SHOCK: Yet Another BLM Activist Found Guilty of Fraud, Stole $450,000 From Hapless Donors
by Ben Kew275 Comments
Yet another Black Lives Matter activist has been convicted of defrauding donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In a press release
on Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of
Ohio confirmed that Sir Maejor Page, 35, of Toledo, was convicted wire
fraud and three counts of money laundering following a six-day trial.
The release stated:
According to court documents and testimony, in 2016, Page
created a Facebook page for “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta”
(“BLMGA”) and registered this organization as a domestic non-profit with
the Georgia Secretary of State Corporation’s Division. In 2017, the IRS
approved Page’s request granting BLMGA tax-exempt status under Section
503(c)(3) of the tax code, but dissolved this status in 2019.
Page nonetheless accepted donations after falsely portraying BLMGA to
the public as a legitimate charity engaged in social justice work, when
in fact, it was not. Instead, Page used the money that individual
donors gave to BLMGA not for social justice causes, but rather to buy
items for his own personal use, such as a house and furniture. Page also
committed money-laundering crimes when he bought these items with the
donations that he fraudulently obtained.

antisemitism, the bigotry, the hate that we saw in the street of
Charlottesville, which as I just stated, was one of the reasons that he
decided to run. And no president has taken more action to combat
antisemitism than this president."
She added, "in our national
strategy, we made clear that when Jews are targeted because of their

because of anti-Jewish hate, hatred, that is antisemitism, and that is
completely, completely unacceptable."

to Fox News Digital when asked if it planned to investigate the
individuals saying they are Hamas, a group the U.S. government has
designated a terrorist organization.

Democrat Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass Wants Wealthy Residents to Buy Housing for Homeless People
by Mike LaChance382 Comments
Cities around the country are dealing with a homelessness problem
that has exploded in recent years. In Los Angeles, California, the
problem is severe, with thousands upon thousands of people living in
tents on sidewalks.
Democrat Mayor Karen Bass has an idea for solving the city’s problem.
She wants wealthy residents to buy housing for the homeless. Good luck
with that.
Does she really think that Hollywood liberals like Rob Reiner are going to put their money where there mouths are? Unlikely.
Townhall reported:
Here’s How One Democrat Mayor Wants to ‘Solve’ Homelessness
On Monday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) urged wealthy constituents to buy housing for homeless people in the city.
Bass made the remarks as she announced the LA4LA Campaign, which is
aimed at creating housing for the city’s growing homeless population.
According to the Los Angeles Times, over 45,000 homeless people live in
the city…
So far, Bass’ Inside Safe program has moved over 21,000 homeless
people into temporary housing, according to her website. In her remarks,
Bass announced the new initiative and asked “the most fortunate” to
help fund housing for the homeless.
“We are asking the most fortunate Angelenos to participate in this
effort, with personal, private sector and philanthropic funds – to help
us acquire more properties, lower the cost of capital and speed up
housing,” Bass explained. “This is the mission of our new capital
campaign, LA4LA.”…
“LA4LA can be a sea change for Los Angeles – an unprecedented
partnership to confront this emergency,” Bass continued. “An example of
disrupting the status quo to build a new system to save lives.”
FOX News covered the absurdity of this last night.
Los Angeles is pretty much doomed at this point.
Despite all of this, the residents of LA will keep voting for leftists. It makes no sense.
(instead of taking care of your own family YOU SHOULD GO BUY A HOUSE for them..... hurry go do it or vote these people OUT !!)
You don't think this crap can happen to your child or grandchild??..... Think again. Will that be the only time YOU do something instead of just complaining about it?
Disturbing Video Reveals
Elementary School Teacher Leading ‘Fight Club’ — Urges Second Grader to
Beat Another Student with Special Needs
by Jim Hᴏft289 Comments
A disturbing classroom incident has led to a lawsuit after a video
surfaced showing an elementary school teacher in Indianapolis
encouraging his students to engage in physical violence akin to a “fight
club,” FOX 59 reported.
The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in Marion Superior Court by Corrie Horan, the mother of the seven-year-old victim.
Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) is among the defendants named in
the lawsuit, which also includes the school’s principal, vice principal,
superintendent, school board, and teacher Julious Johnican, who is
accused of facilitating this violent discipline method.
The shocking video, central to the lawsuit, captures a student being
pummeled by another while the teacher, Julious Johnican, eggs on the
violence.
The footage shows a boy on the floor being hit in the head and face,
his head slammed against the ground, as he cries, and the teacher
encourages the aggressor, who can be heard saying, “That’s right… you
get him.”
The incident took place at George Washington Carver School in
Indianapolis, where Horan’s son, a special needs student “with
disabilities, including sensory sensitivities, an executive function
disorder, and probable learning disabilities,” was repeatedly bullied
and assaulted under the guise of discipline orchestrated by Johnican.
Horan discovered the abuse after Johnican accidentally showed her
footage of her son’s beating during a parent-teacher conference.
Horan’s suit accuses Johnican of running a
“fight club” where he incited and facilitated students to engage in
violence against her son, identified as “O.D.” in the lawsuit, over
three months.
The suit details at least three incidents
where O.D. was beaten and subjected to various forms of physical harm
and bullying within the classroom.
FOX 59 reported:
The mother said the school didn’t follow up about an
investigation or provide additional information. The parent tried to
schedule a meeting about the incident, but she was “repeatedly informed
that it was her child who was disruptive, lying and that this was a sign
of a disordered personality in the child and related to his ADHD,”
according to the lawsuit.
The boy also told his mother that he heard a substitute teacher say
that “special needs students were demonically possessed.” The same
substitute teacher, according to the DCS investigation, appeared to
support the fight, telling an administrator, “[They’re] bad kids, that’s
what you do!” when asked about the September incident.
The boy said staff told him he “was bad and ‘needed to be baptized’
and that ‘holy water needed to be poured on him’ to cure him of his
evil,” according to the lawsuit.
The boy’s grades dropped precipitously. He pleaded with his mother
not to send him to school. And as the days and weeks passed, and he told
his mother he was being attacked and that his teacher had apparently
supported it, the school met his accounts with skepticism.
Then the video surfaced during the Nov. 1 parent-teacher conference,
spurring an investigation from the Indiana Department of Child Services.
The DCS investigation validated the boy’s claims, saying they were
substantiated “due to the preponderance of evidence” surrounding the
case. Johnican had “knowingly and willingly engaged in behaviors toward
the victims that jeopardized their overall well-being while in his care
as a teacher at IPS 87,” according to the DCS report.
The incident has been reported to the Indiana
Department of Child Services, and IPS has stated that Johnican was
removed from the classroom, suspended, and no longer has contact with
students or employment with IPS.
The lawsuit alleges discrimination, negligent
care, negligent hiring, retention, and supervision, and inadequate
policies and protection, demanding a jury trial and unspecified damages
for the psychological and emotional trauma inflicted on O.D.
Indianapolis Public Schools released the following statement via FOX 59:
IPS does not tolerate the type of behavior alleged in the
complaint and takes reports of potential abuse and neglect seriously.
When IPS learned of the teacher’s conduct, the Department of Child
Services (DCS) was immediately notified, and the teacher was removed
from the classroom and suspended. The teacher had no further contact
with students and is no longer employed by IPS.
IPS was not aware of any fights encouraged or sanctioned by this or
any other teacher from the student’s parents or otherwise, until the
parent emailed the principal at 6:58 p.m. Oct. 30.
The principal first viewed this email early morning the next day
(Oct 31), and immediately contacted DCS and IPS Human Resources.
The teacher was immediately removed from the building and never returned to the classroom.
The teacher was interviewed by Human Resources on November 2 as part
of its investigation into the matter. The employee resigned during that
meeting before IPS could initiate termination proceedings, which the
district was prepared to do based on the information received from the
internal investigation.
Because this matter is the subject of pending litigation, it is
inappropriate to comment further on our investigation of this matter.

New York Democrat Arrested and Charged with Felony After Faking Signatures on Election Petition, Including Those of Dead People
by Jim Hᴏft236 CommentsScreenshot: City of Peekskill, New York/Facebook
Peekskill Common Council member and Housing Authority Board member
Rob Scott, 44, has been charged with forging signatures on his election
petition in a desperate bid to secure a spot on the ballot for the
Westchester County Board of Legislators, Peekskill Herald reported.
Scott’s attempt to challenge incumbent County Legislator Colin Smith
for the Democratic nomination in last year’s primary came to an abrupt
halt when the County Board of Elections invalidated a significant
portion of his petition signatures.
Of the 531 signatures Scott submitted, 217 were deemed fraudulent,
leaving him well below the required threshold to qualify for the ballot.
“This morning, the City of Peekskill learned Councilman
Rob Scott was charged by the Westchester County District Attorney with
filing false documents. The City understands that this is a serious
charge, and that information is currently developing. The City will
address and comment once more information becomes available,” according
to the press release.
According to allegations, Scott knowingly submitted petitions with
forged signatures, including those of individuals who later confirmed
they had never signed any document for Scott. This discovery emerged
from an investigation initiated by the DA’s office after receiving
complaints from citizens about the forged signatures.

The matter has escalated from a political embarrassment to a criminal
case, with Scott facing felony charges for filing false documents.
According to Iohud,
County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah announced that Scott had been
arrested and charged with offering a false instrument for filing in the
first degree, Penalties for this Class E felony carry a potential jail
term of four years.
Scott’s arraignment is scheduled for April 30.
Scott said at the time he was stunned to learn
that people had emerged to state they had not signed the petitions that
he had witnessed.
“This is like stuff you see on TV, you know?” Scott said. “It’s like stuff you see in the movies.”
Scott’s four-year term on the Peekskill Common Council runs through 2025. Smith called on Scott to resign.
“Although I am disheartened at the news of
Councilman Scott’s arrest, I applaud the district attorney’s office for
taking a strong stance on public integrity,” said Smith. “Our elected
officials must be held to a higher standard. Let this arrest serve as a
warning to those who would attempt to subvert the rule of law for their
own selfish gain that such self-serving behavior will not be tolerated.
Councilman Scott should immediately resign.”
Peekskill Mayor Vivian McKenzie said it’s too
early to take that stand, just a day after Scott’s arrest and before the
councilman deals with the criminal charges.
“I believe that the judicial process should play
out as intended and I will withhold any judgement until I have more
information,” she said.
