No NoAirport worker filmed 'opening passenger bags' and stealing

 

An airport worker has been arrested and charged for stealing contents out of passengers' checked luggage. 

 

Abdullah Hayee Mayeh was arrested October 12 following video footage that circulated showing him opening airplane passenger’s bags in the luggage compartment of a Jetstar flight and stealing the contents inside.

 

The 27-year-old airport worker was caught on CCTV “opening passenger bags and helping himself to contents,” 

 

the Mirror reported.

Once the video started circulating online, Jetstar became aware of the incident and launched a full investigation into the thefts.

“Jetstar is aware of a video circulating online and we are taking the matter very seriously,” the airline said in a statement to  news.com.au.

 

"We have launched an immediate investigation and will work with Airports of Thailand, our ground handler BAGS and our local security company to ensure the security of our customers’ property on-board our flights,” the statement continued.

Upon his arrest, Mayeh made a full confession and turned over a stolen Bluetooth,  the Phuket Gazette reports. The authorties are reportedly trying to match any stolen item with the passenger from whom it was taken.

MAYOR Montreal Sub DORVAL QUEBEC REFUSES REMOVE PORK

WELL SAID, MAYOR OF DORVAL QUEBEC, CANADA

 

A commercial promoting pork says:   

"PUT SOME PORK ON YOUR FORK". ..... 

 

THE MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CAFETERIA MENU AND EXPLAINS WHY:

 

Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb.  The Montreal suburb of Dorval has refused, and the town sent a note to all parents to explain why.

 

"Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its customs, its traditions, and its way of life, because that's where they chose to immigrate.

 

"Muslims must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Quebec. "They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who, so generously, welcomed them.

 

"Muslims must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic. Canada accepted many immigrants before Muslims showed up (whereas the reverse is no true.   Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants)."

 

"Just like other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up their identity or their culture.   "And, if Canada is a land of welcome, it's not the Mayor of Dorval who welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.

 

"Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain."

 

The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia.  "For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open Halal arms in accordance with Sharia.

 

"If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have  considered that life is better in Canada than elsewhere. We will not let you drag Canada down to the level of those 57 countries.

 

"Ask yourself this question - just once: "Why is it better here in Canada than where you came from?" "A lunch program gwith pork on the menu is part of the answer."

 

If you came to Canada with the idea that you will displace us with your prolific propagation and eventually take over the country, you should pack up and go back to the country you came from.  We have no room here for you and your ideology.

If you feel the same, forward it on.  If not, prepare to be displaced.

Farmer plows message for NFL: 'We stand for national anthem'

Retired farmer Gene Hanson, 77, has a special message for the NFL: “We stand for the National Anthem.”

 

Hanson plowed that phrase into his soybean field a week after President Trump called any NFL players who refused to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner” to protest social injustice and police brutality a "son of a b---h” who should be fired, condemning their actions as disrespectful to the nation's flag.

 

 “I go with [President] Trump on this one,” the North Dakota resident told  Fox News Tuesday. “If you want to protest, that’s not the place to do it.”

India: Airport stops 29 passengers smuggling gold in rectums

World

Airport stops 29 passengers smuggling gold in their rectums

New York Post  14 hours ago 

On Sunday, 29 people hiding gold in their rectums were discovered by Indian customs authorities at a southern airport in India. More than 22 pounds of the metal were found on at least 37 passengers aboard the two flights flying into Madurai international airport in Tamil Nadu from Sri Lanka, authorities reported. Though not all were hiding the gold on their person – some stashed the nuggets in their hand luggage or children’s strollers – the “ingenious way of concealment,” as India’s Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) calls it, was how most passengers tried to sneak the precious metal into the country. The rectum gold was discovered upon “thorough examination,” the DRI said.  ...

...And some people still do not see a reason to worry! 

Winston Churchill Said in 1899.... (entire speech is below)

"Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the  world."

 

This is amazing. Even more amazing is that this hasn't 

been published long before now.

CHURCHILL ON ISLAM Unbelievable, but the speech below was written in 1899. (Check Wikipedia - The River War). 

 

The attached short speech from Winston Churchill, was delivered by him in 1899 when he was a young soldier and journalist. It probably sets out the current views of many, but expresses in the wonderful Churchillian turn of phrase and use of the English language, of which he was a master. Sir Winston Churchill was, without doubt, one of the greatest men of the late 19th and 20th centuries. He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant 

journalist, an extraordinary politician and statesman, a great war leader and British Prime Minister, to whom the Western world must be forever in his debt.

 

He was a prophet in his own time.  He died on 24 January 1965, at the grand old age of 90 and, after  a lifetime of service to his country, was accorded a  State funeral. HERE IS THE SPEECH:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. 

The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensual-ism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. 

 

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.  No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and 

proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome." 

Sir Winston Churchill; (Source: The River War, first edition, Vol II, pages 248-250 London).

Churchill saw it coming.

NFL Rules To Play By NFL & National Anthem- Players Manual...

THE NFL AND THE NATIONAL ANTHEM

THE NFL PLAYERS MANUAL……

 

“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking.  The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

So, according to that paragraph, players "must" be on the sidelines during the national anthem and "should" stand for it. However, at the end of that paragraph, you'll see that it uses the word "may" -- not "will" -- when addressing the topic of fining or suspending players who aren't on the field. Also of note: The topic of fines and suspensions is only addressed in the context of failing to be on the field by the start of the anthem. The topic is not addressed in the context of failing to stand for the anthem. 

 

ARE THESE  IDIOTS  MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE LANGUAGE???   i.e. Bill Clinton…   “I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN”   LET’S STOP THE HORSE MANURE… EITHER YOU STAND AND RESPECT OUR COUNTRY AND FLAG, OR LEAVE AND GO TO WHEREVER YOU CAN DO SO.  IF YOU CAN’T, THEN GET OUT!!!!

MEANWHILE, BOYCOTT THE NFL AND THEIR SPOILED MILLIONAIRES OCTOBER 12th

Mass Murder Victims Honored by 58 Crosses + at Las Vegas sign

Victims honored with Crosses + at Las Vegas sign 

 

 

 

Greg Zanis of Aurora, Ill., brought 58 crosses to the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, where they formed the backbone of a memorial to the victims of Sunday’s shooting on the Strip.

 

A humble Chicago-area man who goes around the country in his pickup leaving handmade wooden Crosses at murder scenes was inspired by a personal tragedy 20 years ago.

 

Greg Zanis of Aurora, Illinois, installed his first cross when his father-in-law was murdered in January 1996, he said.

 

Zanis, a retired carpenter, said the cross helped him cope with his father-in-law’s death and that he wanted to provide that closure for the Las Veags community after the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest festival Sunday. He drove to Las Vegas Tuesday evening and on Thursday installed 58 crosses, each displaying the name and photo of a victim, at the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign. By Friday, visitors had contributed flowers, collages and handwritten messages to the growing impromptu memorial. Zanis also left about 100 markers for people to write messages on the crosses.“I found his body pushed down at the bottom of stairs, and it changed my life,” he said. “I wasn’t suicidal. I was just so depressed.”

 

Since his start in 1996, Zanis said, he has installed more than 20,000 crosses across the country at tragic sites in Colorado, Connecticut and Florida. He said he makes about three aday. This year, he’s made 529 for murder victims in Chicago alone, he said.

“In Chicago, I put up crosses for everyone killed all the time,” he said. “Nobody cries in Chicago, but they were all crying about Las Vegas.”

On Friday, people lined up to view the crosses and sign a “Vegas Strong” sign. Backed-up traffic forced visitors to park a couple of blocks away.

 

Heather Melton of western Tennessee visited the memorial with her three children and mother-in-law in honor of her husband, James “Sonny” Melton, 29, who was fatally shot in the back while shielding her from bullets.

 

“I think the (memorial) is really nice. It’s comforting, but also it’s just really heartbreaking,” she said as she wiped away a tear.

 

Tina Lund and her son David of Summerlin visited as representatives for the family of Brian Fraser. His family lives in Pomona, California, and asked David Lund to leave photos at the cross.

“We made a collage of pictures,” Tina Lund said. “We put them together in a frame to personalize the memorial. We added some blue ribbon and some of our heartfelt thoughts.”

Jamie Hannon of Las Vegas stood at the memorial and contacted a friend who’d attended the festival with her.

 

“Are you sure you’re ready to see this?” Hannon asked. Then she placed the iPhone in front of the small white cross bearing aphoto of Candice Bowers.

“Oh my goodness,” the woman cried out. Hannon cried and tried comfort her.

LA: Resolution Of Custody Battle Over 7 Year Old Boy

RESOLUTION OF CUSTODY BATTLE OVER 7 YEAR OLD BOY

 

 

Los Angeles, CA (AP)- A seven-year old boy was at the center of a LosAngeles courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling overwho should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity
be maintained to the highest degree possible.

 

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of theimmediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way
of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

 

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child  welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Los Angeles  Chargers, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.  :-)

From the eyes/experience of a solider - Afghanistan & Iraq.READ

US Flag

From the eyes/experience of a solider - Afghanistan & Iraq. We in the United States no nothing.....

I was asked to share this by the author: so I just have to get this off my mind. As some of you know, I'm active duty Army. Aside from that, I am a medic. I've spent 3 years of my life overseas in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I've seen some pretty atrocious sites caused by war, from both sides. I've picked up blown up body parts of friends and I've saved the lives of guys who were trying to kill me and my guys right before I was keeping them from their 72 virgins or whatever they believe awaits them on the other side. Here is an unbiased truthful view to the Syrian refugee situation. My first deployment to Iraq, in 2006, my unit voluntarily ran a childrens burn clinic outside of the FOB. It was a constant target for attacks. You would think that people wouldn't shoot mortars or rockets at their own children, but you would be wrong. We saw hundreds of children, from infants to 18 year olds. The overwhelming majority of the kids we saw (90% or better) were clear cases of abuse. These parents were literally dunking their kids in boiling water, or throwing hot chai at their kids faces... Yes, we're talking about babies, toddlers, kids not even old enough to understand why their parents would do these things to them. HUNDREDS of kids... We saw quite a few of these kids that were sexually abused, both girls and boys. Their parents acted if nothing was wrong with this, even when confronted by our doctors. This is the mentality of their society, not the viewpoint of a few individuals... these beliefs have been accepted to the vast majority of these people. Many were educated, well dressed, well spoken men, but yet, they still raped their own children, and kept chai boys (if you don't know what that means, google it.) During that deployment, we also captured the 3rd largest EFP cache that had ever been captured. There were hundreds of copper plates, homemade explosives, fake curbs to house the EFP's, hundreds of mortars and rockets and howitzer rounds, even an anti-aircraft gun. All of these things came from one place, Syria. Almost every single IED or EFP we found or hit could be traced back to Syria... A lot of the terrorists we captured were from SYRIA... Imagine that. Fast forward a couple years, and I find myself in Helmand Province, in Afghanistan... We had a group of Afghani's that were paid to help guard our little mud hut in the middle of an Afghan village (I wasn't on a fob) These guys also kept a "chai boy" A boy, about 11 years old, who was there to serve these guys sexually. We heard him being sexually assaulted many times, but there was nothing we could do about it. We asked the police, the Afghan Army, and we were told the same thing every time.... it's their culture, and accepted as the norm.... Once again, we captured Syrian made explosives, weapons, and other items... We found Syrian passports during raids... And people out there want us to let these people into the US, with our kids, and near our wives. Near our schools, near our churches, synogogues, malls. Places where we should never have to fear being blown up, shot, kidnapped and tortured... Don't forget what they did to the Egyptian Coptic Christians, or the Jordanian pilot... Don't forget about what they do to rape victims! They stone these women to death for being raped! They behead their own people. Do you think they will show mercy to you? Look at the rape statistics in Denmark, Sweden, Belgium. Facts don't lie... 97% of rapes committed in Sweden were committed by Muslim immigrants... And you want 10,000 of these people here? Even if just 1% of these so called "refugees" were ISIS supporters or active ISIS terrorists, would that be acceptable to you? Chew on it... think about it. Take a good look at your kids or your wife and decide if the risk is worth taking. Feel free to share this if you want
