Former Obama Counter-Terrorism Official Charged With Child Sex Crimes in the UK

I bet there's a few more pedos from Obamaworld.

A former senior policy adviser to the Obama administration has appeared in court in Britain charged with child sex offences.
Rahamim 'Rami' Shy, 46, who co-ordinated the US government's strategy to combat terrorists from Al Qaeda and the Taliban, is accused of arranging the commission of a child sex offence, court documents reveal.

Of course Obama appointed a ton of Muslims to be "counter-terrorism" officials. The primary form of "counter-terrorism" deployed by Obama was protecting the feelings of Muslims.

He is also charged with possession of two category C indecent images of children and possessing a prohibited image of a child.

Shy, a US citizen, who lives in New Jersey, worked for the White House under president Barack Obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton, was arrested in late February by Bedfordshire Police. He was charged the following day and appeared at Luton Crown Court via video-link from HMP Bedford on Friday wearing a grey prison-issue tracksuit.
He was not asked to enter a plea to any of the charges and was remanded in custody ahead of a hearing in June.
Most recently employed as an executive at banking group Citi, Shy worked in a senior role at the US Treasury department from 2008 to 2014, advising officials on countering the financing of terrorism and assisting foreign governments to impose sanctions on hostile regimes. As well as working as a senior adviser to the late US diplomat Richard Holbrooke, who served under the last three Democrat presidents, Shy provided strategic policy analysis to chiefs of staff at the US Department of Defence.

Update: the American Gaslight Media is hiding his arrest.

Henry Cavill's newest movie, The League of Ungentlemanly Warfare, bombed this weekend.

The public does not care about movie stars as some sort of guiding light towards buying movie tickets. They honestly never have. At the height of Steve McQueen's popularity, he made Junior Bonner. It bombed horribly.

At best, they signal types of films that audiences may be interested in. However, if Tom Cruise stars in Mission Impossible, that's one thing. If he is featured prominently in an anti-Iraq War film called Lambs for Lions, no one cares.

172 But blockading and harassing conservatives eight years ago is A-OK, right?

Allowing some people to block highways, buildings, even to the point of violent riots with murder and arson are perfectly fine, but kicking down the door of a Catholic nun at 5AM and hauling her out to get ten years of prison for "blocking" an abortuary five years ago is the epitome of justice and national security.

They are run by the exact same people. It was no coincidence that BLM/antifa confined their protests to deep blue cities. You didn't see them out cow tipping in flyover land. Nope, both organized and run in blue cities.

BLM WAS general lawlessness. There was even less rationale for those idiotic protests. It's been quite some time since Jim Crow was relevant and all the stats they used to justify their grievances were made up and could be debunked in about 5 seconds.

Democrats have been using violence as a rallying cry for a very long time. The causes may appear different but it's always random violence by aggrieved yutes in blue controlled areas.

320 There was a news story over the weekend about typewriters making a comeback with high-schoolers, precisely because they're low-tech. No distractions, no worries about battery life, none of the computer/smartphone gizmos.

I've heard of older computers being used for that so you get the no distractions but also a spell checker. And better yet, a spell checker that isn't woke.

I got voluntold to help my in-laws with some heavy yard work. We ripped out a large bush, moved a heavy (400 lbs or so?) boulder, leveled everything with a yard of topsoil, and did multiple passes with a grass seed spreader.

347 Readout of President Biden’s Call with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine

President Biden spoke today with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine to underscore the United States’ lasting commitment to supporting Ukraine as it defends its freedom against Russian aggression. President Biden shared that his administration will quickly provide significant new security assistance packages to meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield and air defense needs as soon as the Senate passes the national security supplemental and he signs it into law. President Biden also underscored that the U.S. economic assistance will help maintain financial stability, build back critical infrastructure following Russian attacks, and support reform as Ukraine moves forward on the path of Euro-Atlantic integration.
