August 20, 2019

Rodrigo Castro-Montejo, a Salvadoran national in the country illegally, was arrested Aug. 10 on charges of second-degree rape and second-degree assault.

REVEALED: Mystery brunette who Prince Andrew waved goodbye to from Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile lair ‘is the philanthropist daughter of former Australian prime minister Paul Keating…
August 20, 2019
Friends of Keating, now 37, say she is the woman pictured leaving the Manhattan townhouse and being waved at by Prince Andrew nine years ago. Her father Paul Keating's secretary told DailyMail.com he was 'aware of what the enquiry was about, but he would not be making a comment'. The video, first published by the Mail on Sunday, has plunged Prince Andrew into fresh controversy over his relationship with the pedophile...
Keating is a former political consultant to her father's Labor Party who moved to New York in 2010 to be with her then-boyfriend, hotelier Andre Blazas, 24 years her senior. But she has established herself as a New York socialite, Davos attendee and fashionable environmental campaigner since then. The Australian now works as head of 'sustainability' for Maverick, a talent agency which represents Sir Paul McCartney and U2, among others.
Does anyone remember when Fiona Barnett claimed to being prostituted as a child under the name "Candy Girl" to Australian Parliament House? What about when she claimed that the Australian Governor-General raped her during a paedophile orgy at Parliament House, and that she was trafficked as a child to other Australian political leaders and international VIPs? Remember a month after she accused Australian psychologist Antony Kidman (Father of Nicole Kidman) he happened to die from a 'heart attack'?
Remember when Obama did an event for Jimmy Kimmel Live and Project Red (Fight Against Aids) with Bono from U2 where he called him the "Ring Master of a home shopping extravaganza"? Any idea why Bono spends so much time with children in Africa and other underdeveloped nations?

Half A Billion Bees Drop Dead In Brazil Amid Jump In Pesticide Use…
August 20, 2019
Brazil’s health watchdog Anvisa found that 20% of samples contained pesticide residues above permitted levels or contained unauthorized pesticides. It didn’t even test for glyphosate, Brazil’s best-selling pesticide, which is banned in most countries.
The silent hives, critics say, are a warning.
“The death of all these bees is a sign that we’re being poisoned,” said Carlos Alberto Bastos, president of the Apiculturist Association of Brazil’s Federal District...

“I See No Future Here”: Migration To Taiwan Surges 28% As Hong Kong Residents Flee…
August 20, 2019
The number of people moving to Taiwan from Hong Kong has risen rapidly — up 28 percent over the first seven months of this year compared with a year earlier — fueled in the past few months by anti-government protests that have swept the former British colony amid fear its autonomy from Beijing is being eroded.
Upwardly mobile entrepreneurs, salespeople and managers have said they are attracted by a better quality of life in the democratically run Taiwan — including cheaper property prices, business opportunities and a safer living environment...
“I want to move to Taiwan because Hong Kong is in a period of white terror and ruled by the police, which scares me,“ said 37-year-old retail salesperson Steven Chen, a Hong Konger who said he was working to move to Taiwan. “I saw no future for the city when it returned to China some 20 years ago, but now it’s dangerous to live in, as the police are not protecting people.”
Urgency for vaccine grows as virus ravages China’s pigs…
August 20, 2019
Farmers have long contained its spread by quarantining and killing infected animals, but the disease's devastating march into East Asia is intensifying the search for another solution.
The virus hadn't been considered as high a priority for researchers until it turned up last year in China, home to half the world's pig population, likely by way of Eastern Europe and Russia. Since then, it has spread to other Asian countries including Vietnam and Taiwan, killing millions of pigs along the way. Though it does not sicken people, the disease is highly contagious and deadly to pigs...
Joe Rogan says ‘misunderstood’ Alex Jones was right about Epstein: ‘That is a f—ing fact’…
August 20, 2019
“I know Alex so well. I’ve known Alex for like more than 20 years,” Mr. Rogan said Tuesday. “We’ve been hammered together so many times. That is the most misunderstood guy on the planet... “[Alex Jones] was saying that [Epstein and fixers] take a lot of famous people to this island and they have all these young girls that this guy hooks them up with,” Mr. Rogan continued. “He was talking about this years ago. Now, it is mainstream news. … This is a fact, man. … Some people don’t represent the best aspects of themselves right to people and then other people try and define them.”...
Hundreds of extreme self-citing scientists revealed in new database…
August 20, 2019
The world’s most-cited researchers, according to newly released data, are a curiously eclectic bunch. Nobel laureates and eminent polymaths rub shoulders with less familiar names, such as Sundarapandian Vaidyanathan.
Vaidyanathan, a computer scientist at the Vel Tech R&D Institute of Technology, a privately run institute, is an extreme example: he has received 94% of his citations from himself or his co-authors up to 2017, according to a study in PLoS Biology this month1. He is not alone. The data set, which lists around 100,000 researchers, shows that at least 250 scientists have amassed more than 50% of their citations from themselves or their co-authors, while the median self-citation rate is 12.7%.
The study could help to flag potential extreme self-promoters, and possibly ‘citation farms’, in which clusters of scientists massively cite each other, say the researchers. “I think that self-citation farms are far more common than we believe,” says John Ioannidis, a physician at Stanford University in California who specializes in meta-science — the study of how science is done — and who led the work. “Those with greater than 25% self-citation are not necessarily engaging in unethical behaviour, but closer scrutiny may be needed,” he says.
The data are by far the largest collection of self-citation metrics ever published...
