The Swedish police said on Tuesday that they were investigating reports that dozens of young women and girls were sexually assaulted at two music festivals in Sweden last weekend.
The police said there had been five reports of rape and 12 reports of sexual molestation at the Bravalla Festival in Norrkoping, about 100 miles southwest of Stockholm, while 32 sexual assaults had been reported atPutte i Parken, a music festival in Karlstad, about 190 miles west of Stockholm.
Girls and women at the festival in Karlstad said they had been groped by boys and men, Inspector Leif Nystrom of the Karlstad Police Department said in a phone interview. Most were under 18 years old, and three were under 15.
“These were reports of women being touched in unwanted places, such as on their breasts and on their bottoms and inside their underwear,” he said.
The police have been examining seven suspects, six of them foreigners, whose ages range from under 18 to 35, Inspector Nystrom said; no arrests have been made.
[. . .]



The Swedish police have already been under scrutiny. The Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter accused the police of failing to publicize details about sexual assaults at a festival in Stockholm last summer until the newspaper drew attention to the episode. The newspaper also accused the authorities of failing to warn the public ahead of the festival that similar attacks had taken place in 2014 and suggested that the police were trying to avoid an anti-immigrant backlash.
In Germany, the police have been investigating reports of dozens of sexual assaults in the western city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve. The police said the attackers appeared to have “a North African or Arabic” appearance, heightening tensions over migrants.
Sweden and Germany have been among the most welcoming European countries for refugees. But in recent months, Sweden has been tightening its asylum rules.

Ten of the approximately 8,000 refugees who were resettled in Colorado by the federal government between 2011 and 2015 were diagnosed with active tuberculosis shortly after their arrival, according to the Tuberculosis in Colorado: 2015 report published by the state’s Department of Public Health and Environment.
A number of other states have also reported refugees have arrived with active TB, as Breitbart News reported previously. Four refugees with active TB were resettled in Indiana in 2015, and eleven refugees with active TB were resettled in Florida in the three years from 2013 to 2015.
[. . .]
High latent TB infection (LTBI) rates among resettled refugees are well documented, in addition to these cases of active TB.
Over the five years between 2011 and 2015, the latent TB infection rate of the 1,500 out of 8,000 refugees resettled in Colorado who had been flagged for TB in overseas medical screenings ranged from 27 percent to 41 percent. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment tells Breitbart News that it may take another week to provide LTBI infection rates for all 8,000 of these resettled refugees.
At least eight other states, in compliance with the Refugee Act of 1980, have reported LTBI infection rates among newly arrived refugees: Vermont (35 percent), Indiana (26 percent), Minnesota (22 percent), Florida (20 percent for TST test, 6 percent for blood test ), Arizona (18 percent), Utah (18 percent), Texas (15 percent), and California (12 percent).

Ten Refugees Sent To Colorado with Active Tuberculosis Since 2011

[From article]

Two-thirds of contagious tuberculosis carriers in the United States during 2015 were born overseas, up from one-fifth in 1986.
The government’s increased inflow of tuberculosis-carrying migrants appears to have reversed a 23-year decline of contagious tuberculosis cases inside the United States.
[. . .]
American-born active TB cases have declined from an estimated 17,725 in 1986 to 3,201 in 2015. That is down 80 percent since 1986.
But federal immigration policy is pushing up the nation’s contagious TB cases. In 2015, for the first time in 23 years, the number of active TB cases in the United States increased rather than declined. It rose by 1.7 percent from the 9,421 cases diagnosed in 2014.
Over the same 29 year period, the foreign-born population as a percentage of the total U.S. population has increased from 7.5 percent in 1986 (18 million out of a total population of 240 million) to an estimated 13.7 percent in 2015. That is an increase from the 13.2 percent in 2014, the last year for which there is complete data (42.5 million out of a total population of 322 million).
[. . .]



The increase in foreign born cases of active TB is attributable to several factors. A small part of that is due to migrants arriving with active TB, and then transmitting it within their arrival communities.
The largest part of the increase, however, appears to be due to the dramatically higher rate of latent TB infection among foreign born residents (which can range from 20 percent to 43 percent, depending on country of origin) compared to the general population, which has a four percent LTBI infection rate, and the greater likelihood those living in refugee communities will see their latent TB activate.
[. . .]
Foreign-born residents of the United States have been identified as a high risk population by the CDC because a number of them arrive from crowded refugee camps, engage in high risk behavior such as smoking, and have cultural traditions not consistent with successful completion of treatment therapy.
Numerous medical studies have reported on the link between high latent TB infection rates and the risk of active TB in refugee resettlement communities and other centers of migrant population.
[. . .]
While it is true that the rate of active TB among foreign born residents in the United States has declined slightly since 1986, the sheer volume of new foreign born migrants with high latent TB infection rates and much higher active TB rates does not bode well for the future decline in the overall number of active TB cases in the US.
[. . .]



Public health policies, however, appear to be doing little to stop the trend of increases in the absolute number of foreign born TB cases in the US.
Despite the CDC’s urging to “increasing detection and treatment of preexisting latent TB infection among the U.S. populations most affected by TB,” resettlement agencies around the United States are not consistently testing and treating refugees for latent TB infections.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) Warns of Loss of Trust After Passage of Secret Trade Agreement

[From article]
“Americans increasingly believe that their country isn’t serving its own citizens. They need look no further than a bipartisan vote of Congress that will transfer congressional power to the Executive Branch and, in turn, to a transnational Pacific Union and the global interests who will help write its rules.
"The same routine plays out over and again. We are told a massive bill must be passed, all the business lobbyists and leaders tell how grand it will be, but that it must be rushed through before the voters spoil the plan. As with Obamacare and the Gang of Eight, the politicians meet with the consultants to craft the talking points—not based on what the bill actually does, but what they hope people will believe it does. And when ordinary Americans who never asked for the plan, who don’t want the plan, who want no part of the plan, resist, they are scorned, mocked, and heaped with condescension.

National Political Journalists Live In Closed Cocoon

[From article]
All of which means when the Cantor loss abruptly appeared on the radar screen, the instant question in the Clerisy media was "how could this possibly happen?" Then a mad scramble to air interviews with two talk radio hosts - Levin and Ingraham - who were well out there with vocal support for Cantor opponent Brat.
But to credit either Mark or Laura with this win is foolish. Why? Because it assumes something about the talk radio audience that simply isn't true.The audience that listens to conservative talk radio is decidedly not an audience of robots. If there are robots in this equation, they are the Clerisy journalists who are.Clerisy journalists. For all it's renown, conservative talk radio is as unfamiliar to the liberal journalists of the Clerisy as the depths beneath the surface of Mars.

Homosexual Haters of Religion Promote Foreign Paradigm of Speech Censorship

Posted May 10, 2014 2:45 AM ET; last updated May 40, 2014 8:28 PM ET

[From article]
A number of news outlets credited Right Wing Watch with drawing attention to the Benham’s pro-life, pro-traditional marriage views. But what is Right Wing Watch and who is behind it?
The answer: The anti-Christian conservative effort in Hollywood.
Right Wing Watch is a project of the liberal advocacy group People for the American Way, which started with an assist from the left-wing Tides Foundation.
People for the American Way was founded with help from former television Norman Lear, a Hollywood executive producer credited with starting the anti-Christian-right movement in the 1980s.
[. . .]
The president of People for the American Way is Michael Keegan, a founding member of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). GLAAD was involved in last year’s unsuccessful effort to permanently remove Phil Robertson from “Duck Dynasty” after his well-publicized comments about gays.
People for the American Way, perhaps ironically, is also a member of the National Coalition Against Censorship — a group that has protested the silencing of people based on their views on homosexuality

Meet The Liberal Network That Orchestrated The Hit On The Benham Brothers

ABC news Nightline broadcast on Friday (actually Saturday morning at May 10, 2014 12:35 AM ET) May 9, 2014, a segment about the Benham brothers who lost a show on HGTV because of their views on homosexuals.

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/benham-brothers-hgtv-knew-controversial-comments-year-ago/story?id=23663928

Here's link to their web site

http://benhambrothers.com/

Black GLBT Buzzfeed Editor, homosexual Saeed Jones, said on the show "You are free to say whatever you want in this country. That will never change. But that also means that you will be held responsible for what you say." It is obvious that Mr. Jones is not familiar with the meaning of the concepts of free speech, freedom of religion, and the First Amendment. In America speaking freely, and believing freely, are rights. If one is intimidated from speaking and believing that is an abridgment, a chilling effect. It is a violation of the right to free speech and the right to believe. If one is not free to speak, and to believe without fear of "being held responsible" as Mr. Jones suggests it is not a right to speak and to believe at all. The concept that this homosexual promotes is foreign to the United States and to the First Amendment. He needs to read the United States Constitution and not just accept censorship policies and propaganda of the homosexual lobby.

Here is one more example of how the homosexual lobby distorts the notion of free speech under law, into speech by mob rule. They condemn and intimidate anyone who utters speech they do not like. They use political and economic influence to intimidate spineless CEOs and politicians to yield the protections of the First Amendment to their thuggery. Politicians violate their oaths of office by yielding to homosexual mobs. What is curious is that when the majority of the heterosexuals adopt the techniques of homosexuals applying it to homosexual thugs, they will be reduced to their former status being denied their rights. The division of Americans by race, sexual preference and gender is a Communist mission directed by the KGB beginning about 75 years ago. The useful idiots of dumbed down America adopted their programs to help divide the nation. So divided we are. And when the rule of law collapses completely homosexuals will not be in the majority and totalitarians will not be as tolerant of their behavior as Americans who support the Constitution have been.

Foreign Students, Graduates, Arrested at Greater Boston Reservoir

Michelle McPhee reported on May 15, 2013, WRKO radio, Howie Carr Show, that the seven arrested had no valid IDs, and were driving rented cars. State police said they do not release the names of persons issued summonses, which is what they did. Huh? How different from what local police did to me. After I complained about police harassment they arrested me and held me in a mental hospital for 78 days for a competency evaluation. Later Harvard University campus police stalked me for three years, arrested me twice and lied about why. Curious how respectfully foreigners get treated by police even those without licenses when they are stopped driving illegally. But citizens like myself get the full force of any and all laws in order to punish me for speaking out about government abuses. This is how the nation's most prominent university led by The President and Fellows of Harvard College, and its host city which claims to be concerned with the most vulnerable persons in the city treat victims of government criminal abuses. How charming the way they show their intolerance in the name of tolerance. How they indicate their support for diversity by censoring diverse speech they dislike.
