Orlando Terrorist Was a Devout Muslim, Divorced, Married A Second Time

Sitora Yusufiy, Omar Mateen's first wife, described how he 'seemed like a normal human being' at first. The two met online and married in 2009 after a brief romance.

[From article]
Omar Mateen transformed from a friendly high school football player to a quiet father who carried out America's deadliest mass shooting, leaving old friends and family members in shock.
Mateen, who worked as a security guard, walked into a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, with a handgun and AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, killing 50 people on Sunday before police stormed the club and fatally shot him.
A gay, high school classmate who knew Mateen before 2009 said the 29-year-old regularly interacted with him and his other gay co-workers and 'treated us all like the individuals we were.'
But the terrorist's father said his son had recently become infuriated at the sight of two men kissing, while others said he was an 'agitated' and 'aggressive' bodybuilder.
Mateen's first wife claimed he was mentally ill and physically abusive, while a coworker said: 'He talked about killing people all the time. I wasn't shocked. I saw it coming.'
He had worked for G4S since 2007, the world's largest security company, which provides guards for US nuclear facilities.
[. . .]
Mateen went on to earn an associate's degree in criminal justice from Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, and expressed interest in joining the police force.
Instead, he worked as a security officer, a fact that comforted other members of the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce where he worshipped, Syed Shafeeq Rahman, the head of he mosque, said.
'He hardly had any friends. He would come with his little son at night to pray and after he would leave.'
Rahman told the NY Times: 'There is nothing that he is hearing from me to do killing, to do bloodshed, to do anything, because we never talk like that.'

[. . .]
The Islamic center also released a statement condemning the 'monstrous' attack that read: 'The Muslim community of Fort Pierce joins our fellow Americans in repudiating anyone or any group that would claim to justify or excuse such an appalling act of violence.'
The terrorist's father Seddique Mir Mateen also denied that the attack had anything to do with religion, and said his son had become enraged after seeing two men kissing in Miami months before.
While the father said he was 'in shock like the whole country,' the terrorist's former coworker, Daniel Gilroy, told the Times: 'He talked about killing people all the time.'
Gilroy said he made several complaints to G4S, the company where they both worked, because Mateen frequently used racial, ethnic and sexual slurs and sent him a barrage of 20 to 30 text message a day.
'He was always shaken, always agitated and always mad,' Gilroy added.
[. . .]
After spending most of the day searching Omar Mateen’s Port St. Lucie home, cops and the FBI moved on to the custom-built four-bedroom home a couple of blocks of north on Bayshore Boulevard where his parents live.
Neighbor, Tony Schneider, a retired deputy sheriff told Daily Mail Online that Seddique and Shahla Mateen are ‘the nicest people in the world.’
‘They are very Americanized, he said. ‘Just very good neighbors. I have known them for six years and have never had any problems with them.

Mateen worked at GNC after high school and spent much of his time working out, while ex-wife Sitora Yusufiy said he had history using steroids
Yusufiy said Mateen was unstable and physically abusive - the two married in 2009 and officially divorced in 2011
Noor Zahi Salman was listed as his wife in 2013 mortgage, sources report

Head of Mateen's mosque in Florida said he was quiet, visited frequently with his son, and rarely interacted with other members of congregation

Smearing Presidential Candidates' Wives Historically Normal

Clockwise from top left: Heidi Cruz, Melania Trump, Mary Todd Lincoln and Dolley Madison.

[From article]
A super PAC supporting Ted Cruz kicked things off by tweeting an old photo of Donald Trump’s wife, during her modeling days, lying naked on a fur rug. Trump threatened to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife, Heidi, and retweeted an image mocking her appearance.
[. . .]
While a bit shocking, it isn’t really a new low for presidential races. Politics has always been a dirty business for male candidates’ wives, going all the way back to the country’s early days.
[. . .]
“It was terrible what these [earlier politicians] were doing to each other,” says Cormac O’Brien, author of “Secret Lives of the First Ladies.” “There was a tradition in politics for a long time of spreading half-truths and lies. People would be shocked by how bad it was.”
According to National First Ladies’ Library historian Carl Anthony, the first smear campaign aimed at a first lady came way back in 1808.
Federalist candidate Charles C. Pinckney “circulated the tale that the Democratic-Republican candidate James Madison had made wife Dolley Madison sexually available to the widowed incumbent President Thomas Jefferson for his endorsement, turning her into, well, a political whore,” Anthony wrote on his Web site.
[. . .]
Mary Todd Lincoln became a particularly polarizing figure due to her Southern roots. She was from slave-holding Kentucky, and her family fought for the Confederacy, leading those above the Mason-Dixon to question her loyalty and those below to call her a traitor.
[. . .]
Frances Cleveland, who married incumbent president Grover Cleveland in 1886, was the victim of rumors she was cheating on her husband after she appeared at the theater one night with a male escort. There were also whispers Grover beat her.
[. . .]
in 1896, opponents of William McKinley spread tales that there was something mentally off with his wife, Ida, and that she was insane and confined to an institution. In truth, she had epilepsy.
[. . .]
Considering our nation’s long, dirty political history, it’s no surprise that Cruz’s supporters and Trump consider wives fair game.
Of course, should Hillary Clinton win the election, First Hubby Bill is likely to get it worse than any first lady ever did.

Wrongful Arrest Ruined Family, Made Into Hitchcock Film

Manny Balestrero in 1953.

Balestrero was wrongly accused of crimes committed by lookalike Charles James Daniell (pictured).

Is that sort of what happened to me many times? Not by accident but by character assassination from crime families and agents of the United States government? Still going on. Never formally arrested. Just accused and punished for 45 years or events alleged from 1970-75. But several crime families, FBI and police employees, who protect them, continue to torment me, disturbing my sleep every one or two hours, keeping me isolated and shunned by ordinary people. This man's life was destroyed by an honest, if not negligent error.

[From article]
Manny Balestrero discussed the devastating impact of his wrongful arrest in the 1953 Life magazine article. “Be careful of accusing anyone,’’ he said. “Before you accuse anyone, you should think, because you can destroy a family, physically and mentally, like mine could have been destroyed.’’

Husband Placed Spyware on Wife's Phone During Divorce Proceedings

[From article]

Anne Resnik — whose late dad, Frank, was CEO of Philip Morris USA — says hubby Crocker Coulson put the spyware on her phone just before he dumped her last year.
The Brooklyn Heights woman claims that Coulson could read messages from her celebrity lawyer, Raoul Felder — and that he accused her of sneaking off to see a boyfriend because he could track her with the phone’s GPS.
The bug stayed in place for some four months until it was uncovered by a computer expert Resnik had hired, according to court papers.
Felder said they stumbled upon the spyware by chance when they called on the expert to get info off the phone for their case in a more thorough way.
“In the course of that, it was discovered it was [hacked],” said Felder.
The installation of the software, which is called mSpy, allegedly took place on Oct. 6, 2014 — just three weeks before Coulson sued Resnik for divorce, according to a ruling by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Sunshine.
During a subsequent deposition, Coulson invoked the Fifth Amendment 58 times when questioned about bank records that show he purchased a “premium” mSpy subscription, as well as IPVanish software to allegedly hide his tracks.
Resnik says Coulson — with whom she has 6-year-old twins — clearly relied on GPS data from her iPhone to claim that she had “spent several hours with her boyfriend while he was at the hospital after an incident on Oct. 14, 2015.”
In an application to the judge, Resnik sought and won permission to have all of Coulson’s electronic devices impounded on the grounds that he may have been able to read some 202 emails to her from Felder’s firm.

FBI Agent Shot Wife Four Times, Found Not Guilty, NBC News, Dateline

Julie Serna Gonzales, Shot Dead by FBI-agent husband. Seen with two sons here.

I think he was guilty of murder. Why I love video you can see where he lies. The judge's decision did not make sense to me. If the prosecutor provided sufficient evidence of manslaughter, he was guilty. If there was reasonable doubt the prosecution did not prove its case. I don't understand the notion of reasonable doubt, the way she applied it. Maybe she just made it up as a compromise.

North Carolina Husband, 90, Saves Wife, 68, From House Fire

Arthur Schneider said his wife Rosemary is 'part of me.'

[From article]
A 90-year-old man pulled his wife of 68 years to safety in her wheelchair as a fire ravaged their North Carolina home.
Arthur Schneider jumped into action after a lightning storm hit a street transformer, causing flames to crawl through his Asheboro house, he told the Daily News Saturday.
Arthur immediately thought of his wife Rosemary, 89, who has Parkinson’s disease and dementia. She was all the way at the back of the house and cannot walk.
“I had to go back and get her,” Arthur said. “She’s part of me.”
[. . .]
Arthur, who grew up in the Bronx, wheeled Rosemary out to the front porch and ran across his yard — which is “the size of a football field ” — to get help from a neighbor, his daughter Bernadette Such said. He made the dash without his cane, despite his "terrible limp," she said.
[. . .]


Photo: COURTESY BERNADETTE SUCH
Arthur and Rosemary Schneider got married on Oct. 27, 1946.
Arthur shrugged off claims he acted heroically.
“I don’t know if it’s so incredible. I think anybody else would do the same thing,” he said.
But Thursday’s rescue was just the latest example of Arthur’s devotion to his wife, Such said.
Arthur has taken care of Rosemary, feeding her and cleaning her, since she was put in hospice care a couple years ago. He even insisted on putting her hospital-style bed next to his bed so they can sleep next to each other.
“My dad is a saint,” Such said. “I told him you’ll go straight to heaven for what he’s done for her the last two or three years.”
The couple met during World War II after Rosemary wrote to Arthur, who was serving in Guam in the Navy. Six months after they met in person, they got married in October 1946.

Wife Of Multi-Millionaire Athlete Sues For Discrimination

[From article]
The wife of an NFL player says she worked in a real-life “Wolf of Wall Street’’ office where co-workers sexually harassed her and openly mocked her marriage to a black man.
[. . .]
Higher-up Benjamin Alderson “made it known that he wanted to model [their] office on the ‘Boiler Room’ and ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ films,’’ Philippa’s suit says.
“In those films, employees of male-dominated investment firms used highly offensive language and engaged in extremely inappropriate conduct, including sexual harassment and drug and alcohol use in the workplace.”
Philippa says she was the only woman in the Midtown office when she was hired as a senior investment adviser in October 2013.
Surrounded by about 21 male co-workers, she was exposed to sexist antics the first day, she said.
“So can you handle the banter or are you going to be a woman about it and be sensitive?’’ Alderson snipped, she said.

[From article]
The man who famously fired Steve Jobs from Apple, John Sculley, is being sued by his ex-wife of 32 years, Carol Lee Sculley, who claims he “secretly and furtively” hid more than $25 million of his assets when they divorced.


Carol Lee Sculley

Sculley — the former Apple CEO who reportedly now has a net worth of $200 million — settled his divorce with Carol, known as Leezy, in 2011. But she sued him in Palm Beach in 2013 claiming he “lied” to her and the court, “submitted a false financial affidavit . . . and failed to fully and honestly disclose his assets.”
According to the court papers, Sculley had claimed that their total marital assets at the time of their separation in 2010 were $4.8 million. But he allegedly didn’t disclose “substantial private equity investments and investments in privately held companies and ventures around the globe.”

Colorado Gentleman Charged With Killing Two Wives

Survived: Toni henthorn left behind a daughter, Hayley, who was seven when she died. The $1.5 million policy at the center of the legal dispute was for ‘estate planning and income protection/planning to have children’.
Very similar story broadcast twice on network TV News show, mother of two girls (one son?) killed in same way. Father acquitted and moved to Texas with new wife.

[From article]
Double wife killer’ Harold Henthorn is fighting to keep a $1.5million life insurance payout from a policy taken out on his second wife, whom he is accused of murdering.
Henthorn was charged with the murder of second wife, Toni Bertolet, 51, last November and police have reopened their investigation into the suspicious death of his first wife some 20 years earlier.
Both women died in ‘freak’ accidents to which Henthorn, 59, was the sole witness. Dr Toni Jill Bertolet plunged 140ft to her death shortly before her 12th wedding anniversary while hiking with Henthorn in a remote stretch of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Lynn Rishell - his first wife - was crushed to death under the front of Henthorn’s Jeep when, he told first responders, the jack gave way as she reached under the vehicle for a lug night while changing a flat tire in the dark.
In both cases Henthorn was named as the sole beneficiary in a string of lucrative life insurance policies totalling $500,000 on the death of his first wife and $4.5million on the death of his second.
[. . .]
Henthorn has not relinquished the claim he made in September 2013, one year after his wife’s death the previous September. He cited cause of death as ‘Accidental Fall.’ At the time of making this claim Henthorn was unaware that he was under investigation by the FBI who painstakingly scrutinized every aspect of the widower’s life across two years before swooping and arresting him in November last year.
But an autopsy carried out on Dr Bertolet had already concluded that she ‘died as a result of multiple blunt force injuries when she fell or was pushed down a cliff’. The manner of death was noted as ‘undetermined,’ by the coroner who stated: ‘Homicide cannot be excluded.’
[. . .]
Grace Rishell was going through a divorce and ‘concerned for her financial stability,’ when she initially agreed to Henthorn taking out a policy that would pay $50,000 to Grace’s brother and each of her four daughters for a total of $250,000.
According to prosecutors in Dr Bertolet’s murder case, ‘the evidence will show that Henthorn had a romantic interest in Rishell’. But Rishell had a change of heart in spring 2010 and told the insurance agent to stop the policy from going through. Instead she took out a policy of her own with another insurer.
Unbeknownst to her ‘her signature was forged to procure the original policy as well,’ with Henthorn making payments on the policy until December 2012 and listing himself as sole beneficiary.
The policy was cancelled in 2013 when the insurer concluded that Henthorn had no insurable interest in Rishell. But the very fact of its existence raises the specter that Henthorn had Rishell in his sights as a third potential victim.
[. . .]
Investigators have also established that Henthorn ‘extensively scouted’ the fatal hike trail. Contrary to what he told law enforcement he made nine different trips to the area around Rocky Mountain Park that summer.
The fortnight before their anniversary – the date of her death – Henthorn had hiked six trails to ‘find the perfect one for the trip.’ And damningly a map found in his car showed the spot where Dr Bertolet fell to her death, marked with a pink X.
In both Lynn Rishell and Dr Toni Jill Bertolet’s deaths Henthorn was eager to have his wives’ bodies cremated quickly despite family requests against it and, disturbingly, he spread both women’s ashes on the same mountain near Ouray, Colorado.

Georgia Police Chief Shoots Wife

58-year-old Margaret McCollom

Who's counting the number of wives shot by police? No comment from De Blasio, Sharpton, Obama, or Holder.

[From article]
Police responded to the couple's home in the 100 block of Autumn Leaf shortly after 4:15 a.m., where they found the victim, 58-year-old Margaret McCollum. She was taken by helicopter to Atlanta Medical Center.
The GBI will handle the shooting investigation. GBI spokeswoman Sherry Lang said Chief McCollum called 911 to say he accidentally shot his wife twice with his service weapon. It was not immediately known where Margaret McCollum was struck.

NYC Mayor's Wife's Chief Of Staff Takes Leave

[From article]
“Today I am announcing that I have decided to take a leave of absence to spend more time with my son,” Noerdlinger said in a statement. “These past two months have been extremely difficult for both of us, and his arrest on Friday heightens the need for me to devote my full attention to Khari, my number one priority.”
Noerdlinger was paid $170,000 a year as chief of staff to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray — but Hizzoner said Monday that job will be filled by someone else.
Noerdlinger’s 17-year-old son, Khari, was busted for allegedly trespassing at a drug hot spot in Washington Heights on Friday night.
He was picked up with three friends, two of whom had small amounts of marijuana on them, law enforcement sources said.
Noerdlinger’s role at City Hall has also come under scrutiny due to her romantic relationship with convicted killer Hassaun McFarlane, 36.

White House Claims Executive Privilege For Attorney General's Wife

[From article]
Judicial Watch announced today that it received from the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) a “Vaughn index” detailing records about the Operation Fast and Furious scandal. The index was forced out of the Obama administration thanks to JW’s June 2012 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and subsequent September 2012 FOIA lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. Department of Justice (No. 1:12-cv-01510)). A federal court had ordered the production over the objections of the Obama Justice Department.
The document details the Attorney General Holder’s personal involvement in managing the Justice Department’s strategy on media and Congressional investigations into the Fast and Furious scandal. Notably, the document discloses that emails between Attorney General Holder and his wife Sharon Malone – as well as his mother – are being withheld under an extraordinary claim of executive privilege as well as a dubious claim of deliberative process privilege under the Freedom of Information Act. The “First Lady of the Justice Department” is a physician and not a government employee.
[. . .]
Based on a preliminary review of the massive document, Judicial Watch can disclose that the Vaughn index reveals:
 Numerous emails that detail Attorney General Holder’s direct involvement in crafting talking points, the timing of public disclosures, and handling Congressional inquiries in the Fast and Furious matter.
President Obama has asserted executive privilege over nearly 20 email communications between Holder and his spouse Sharon Malone. The administration also claims that the records are also subject to withholding under the “deliberative process” exemption. This exemption ordinarily exempts from public disclosure records that could chill internal government deliberations.
Numerous entries detail DOJ’s communications (including those of Eric Holder) concerning the White House about Fast and Furious.
The scandal required the attention of virtually every top official of the DOJ and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Communications to and from the United States Ambassador to Mexico about the Fast and Furious matter are also described.
Many of the records are already publicly available such as letters from Congress, press clips, and typical agency communications. Ordinarily, these records would, in whole or part, be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Few of the records seem to even implicate presidential decision-making and advice that might be subject to President Obama’s broad and unprecedented executive privilege claim.
[ . . .]
On June 28, 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt by the House of Representatives over his refusal to turn over records explaining why the Obama administration may have lied to Congress and refused for months to disclose the truth about the gun running operation. It marked the first time in U.S. history that a sitting Attorney General was held in contempt of Congress.
