Andras Pandy, one of Belgium's worst serial killers dubbed the "Devil's Pastor", died overnight in a jail in northwestern Bruges aged 86, the Belga news agency reported Monday.
Described by psychiatrists as an "asocial paranoid", the preacher of Hungarian origin was sentenced to life in prison in 2002.
He was convicted of killing his two wives, two sons and two step-daughters, and of raping three of his natural or adopted daughters, in a string of attacks in the late 1980s.
The trial heard how some of the victims' remains had been dissolved in acid baths while others had been chopped up and left in gutters.
His daughter Agnes was also found guilty of five of the six murders and was jailed for 21 years. She was a key witness against her father.
The pair were only arrested in 1997 following the Marc Dutroux paedophile scandal which stunned Belgium and prompted police to reopen inquiries into several other unsolved disappearances.
Agnes was released on parole in 2010.

1950"s.
1950 was the start of the fast changes that would be seen in the next 2 decades , the great depression was becoming a faint memory and families were moving out to the suburbs, kids watched howdy doody on 12 inch black and white TV sets and spent Saturday afternoons watching cartoons at Cinema matinees , times were gentler with little violence and the consumer revolution was about to start in a big way, and the man of the household became the sole breadwinner. The median family income was $3,300 a year and milk was still delivered to the doorstep.

Inspire magazine promoted "open source jihad".
Inspire is an English language online magazine reported to be published by the organization al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The magazine is one of the many ways AQAP uses the Internet to reach its audience. Numerous international and domestic extremists motivated by radical interpretations of Islam have been influenced by the magazine and, in some cases, reportedly used its bomb-making instructions in their attempts to carry out attacks.

The Mystery of the Russian Soul...

UNCENSORED: Artist Pyotr Pavlenskiy nails himself to Red Square through his balls
[NOTE: please be warned that the following video is extremely graphic. We see a man's testicles nailed to the floor. You have been warned.]
MOSCOW - A Russian performance artist was hospitalised Sunday after stripping naked and nailing his testicles to a Red Square cobblestone in protest against the Kremlin's crackdown on political rights.
A video of the graphic action, available on Russian websites, showed artist Pyotr Pavlensky sitting naked outside Lenin's Mausoleum being covered with a blanket by police officers while horrified passersby looked on.
The state-run RIA Novosti news agency said Pavlensky was taken to a police station after being treated in a central Moscow clinic.
The Saint Petersburg-based artist said in a statement posted on the Grani.ru website that he was trying to draw attention to Russian society's inaction in the face of the development of a "police state".
Russia marked its annual Police Day holiday on Sunday.
It is not the first time the 29-year-old has resorted to eye-watering methods of protest.
He has previously sown his lips together to demonstrate against the jailing of two female members of the ***** Riot punk band who staged an anti-Kremlin performance inside Moscow's main cathedral in 2011.
He was also arrested after wrapping his naked body in barbed wire outside a Saint Petersburg government building in May.

The so-called New IRA was formed last year from a loose alliance of hardline republican groups.
Unlike former groupsit is enjoying success in attracting fresh support from the Province's disaffectedyouth. Sources claim the group has attracted up to 700 new members and is 'actively recruiting'.
Like previous groups it operates on fear, doling out punishment beatingsand shootings on a weekly basis, as well as plotting attacks onthe security services and other British targets.
Sources acknowledgethat its leaders are beyond the control ofSinn Fein.
There are fears that the group also has ambitions to mount a new campaign on the mainland. Recentevents suggest it may have access to the equipment needed to conduct a campaign, but there are doubts about whether it yet has the logistical and organisational skills to sustain a series of attacks on the mainland.

I have always wondered why people choose to travel to these barbaric countries. Hard to feel sorry for anyone who puts themselves in this position.

A Korean American detained for six months in North Korea has been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for "hostile acts" against the state, the North's media said Thursday — a move that could trigger a visit by a high-profile American if history is any guide.

Kenneth Bae, a Washington state man described by friends as a devout Christian and a tour operator, is at least the sixth American detained in North Korea since 2009. The others eventually were deported or released without serving out their terms, some after trips to Pyongyang by prominent Americans, including former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

With already abysmal U.S.-North Korean ties worsening since a long-range rocket-launch more than a year ago, Pyongyang is fishing for another such meeting, said Ahn Chan-il, head of the World Institute for North Korea Studies think tank in South Korea.

"North Korea is using Bae as bait to make such a visit happen. An American bigwig visiting Pyongyang would also burnish Kim Jong Un's leadership profile," Ahn said. Kim took power after his father, Kim Jong Il, died in December 2011.

The authoritarian country has faced increasing criticism over its nuclear weapons ambitions. Disarmament talks including the Koreas, the United States, Japan, China and Russia fell apart in 2009. Several rounds of U.N. sanctions have not encouraged the North to give up its small cache of nuclear devices, which Pyongyang says it must not only keep but expand to protect itself from a hostile Washington.

Pyongyang's tone has softened somewhat recently, following weeks of violent rhetoric, including threats of nuclear war and missile strikes. There have been tentative signs of interest in diplomacy, and a major source of North Korean outrage — annual U.S.-South Korean military drills — ended Tuesday.

In Washington, the U.S. State Department said it was working with the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang to confirm the report of Bae's sentencing. The United States lacks formal diplomatic ties with North Korea and relies on Sweden for diplomatic matters involving U.S. citizens there.

Bae's trial on charges of "committing hostile acts" against North Korea took place in the Supreme Court on Tuesday, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported. KCNA referred to Bae as Pae Jun Ho, the North Korean spelling for his Korean name.

Bae was arrested in early November in Rason, a special economic zone in North Korea's far northeastern region bordering China and Russia, state media said. The exact nature of Bae's alleged crimes has not been revealed.

Friends and colleagues say Bae was based in the Chinese border city of Dalian and traveled frequently to North Korea to feed orphans. Bae's mother in the United States did not answer calls seeking comment Thursday.

There are parallels to a case in 2009. After Pyongyang's launch of a long-range rocket and its second underground nuclear test that year, two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor after sneaking across the border from China.

They later were pardoned on humanitarian grounds and released to Clinton, who met with then-leader Kim Jong Il. U.S.-North Korea talks came later that year.

In 2011, Carter visited North Korea to win the release of imprisoned American Aijalon Gomes, who had been sentenced to eight years of hard labor for crossing illegally into the North from China.

Korean American Eddie Jun was released in 2011 after Robert King, the U.S. envoy on North Korean human rights, travelled to Pyongyang. Jun had been detained for half a year over an unspecified crime.

Jun and Gomes are also devout Christians. While North Korea's constitution guarantees freedom of religion, in practice only sanctioned services are tolerated by the government.

U.N. and U.S. officials accuse North Korea of treating opponents brutally. Foreign nationals have told varying stories about their detentions in North Korea.

The two journalists sentenced to hard labor in 2009 stayed in a guest house instead of a labor camp due to medical concerns.

Ali Lameda, a member of Venezuela's Communist Party and a poet invited to the North in 1966 to work as a Spanish translator, said that he was detained in a damp, filthy cell without trial the following year after facing espionage allegations that he denied. He later spent six years in prison after a one-day trial, he said.

Hundreds surrendered to one or two mercenary soldiers with dozens of tribal natives armed only with spears and machetes.

Breaking: 3 more suspects in Boston Marathon bombings case taken into custody.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/breaking-boston-police-three-boston-marathon-bombing-suspects-151027478.html
Authorities have arrested three additional suspects in connection to the Boston Marathon bombings, the Boston Police Department confirmed to Yahoo News. Two of the suspects are Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both Kazakh nationals who attended school with bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Their attorney, Robert Stahl, said the charges will be unsealed in federal court Wednesday afternoon and both plan to plead "not guilty."

The third suspect, a U.S. citizen who has not been publicly identified, was reportedly arrested today.

NBC's Pete Williams reported that the suspects are friends of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. The three have been under FBI surveillance for 10 days and are suspected of aiding Tsarnaev after he allegedly committed his crimes. Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev were detained on civil immigration violations on April 20 and have been in federal custody since then. The two appeared in immigration court Wednesday morning.

Boston attorney Linda Cristello, who represented the two in immigration court, confirmed in an email to Yahoo News that her clients now face additional federal charges and will appear in court Wednesday afternoon. She referred further questions to Stahl and Harlan Protass, criminal defense attorneys who have been tapped to represent the pair on the new charges.

Stahl said the new charges would be unsealed in federal court Wednesday. Protass said they will release a more detailed statement after the hearing.

Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old college student, is charged with killing three and injuring more than 200 in the two bombs last month. He is in custody at a federal prison medical facility at Fort Devens, 40 miles outside of Boston, where he is being treated for injuries incurred in a shootout with police before his arrest. His older brother and suspected co-bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed while fleeing arrest.

In a statement, the Police Department said there was no threat to public safety at this time.

I hope they send his remains back to Russia, he certainly does not deserve to be buried under US soil, a country he obviously hated so much.

Ruler of The Nations

Biblical Principles forGovernment.
Does the Bible have answers for the complex problems ofmodern civil government?
Yes. Absolutely.
Scandal ridden and conspiracy laden, ourentire government system is in trouble. From the court houseto the White House, the government of our land has been crippled with corruption, bureaucratic red tape, and political finagling.
Many constitutional experts fear that if the system does not soon recover it’s integrity – and thus the confidence of it’scitizenry – it will not survive to the end ofthis century. But theyhave little or no idea how to correct that integrity. They don’t have the answers.
But the Bible does.
In this volume of theground-breaking Biblical Blueprint Series, Gary DeMar outlines specifically what those answers are. He shows us howwe can regain the greatness of the American system.
The Bible tells us what to do, when, where, how, and why. It offers us a “blueprint” for civil stability, Ruler of theNations, lays out that“blueprint” simply, practically, and understandingly.
