WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The New York attorney general has served the Trump Foundation with a cease and desist order that requires it to stop fundraising in New York, alleging it is not properly registered in the state.
"The failure immediately to discontinue solicitation and to file information and reports ... with the Charities Bureau shall be deemed to be a continuing fraud upon the people of the state of New York," according to a letter dated Sept. 30 that the attorney general's office posted online.MEANWHILE, HILLARY SHOWS SHE KNOWS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HER OWN PROBLEMS:
For more than a decade, Suleiman Anwar Bengharsa has served as a Muslim cleric in Maryland, working as a prison chaplain and as an imam at mosques in Annapolis and outside Baltimore. He gave a two-week course in 2011 on Islamic teachings on marriage at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, where President Obama made a much-publicized visit this year.
But in the last two years, Imam Bengharsa’s public pronouncements have taken a dark turn. [Look who came out of the taqiya closet.] On Facebook, he has openly endorsed the Islamic State, posted gruesome videos showing ISIS fighters beheading and burning alive their enemies and praised terrorist attacks overseas. The “Islamic Jurisprudence Center” website he set up last year has condemned American mosques as un-Islamic and declared that homosexual acts should be punished by death.Islam. Its principles don't become "nice" and "civilized" by a change in geography. It is as evil in Syria as it is in the US.
An affidavit filed in federal court by the F.B.I. says that Imam Bengharsa, 59, supplied $1,300 in June 2015 to a Detroit man who used it to expand his arsenal of firearms and grenades.So, finally this imam was arrested. Right?
Yet Imam Bengharsa has not been arrested or charged. It appears that the authorities do not have clear evidence that he has broken the law.Predictable.
In his checkbook, next to the notation for the $1,300 check, Imam Bengharsa wrote “zakat,” or charity, the documents show.Here's what I wrote about Islamic charity on Sep. 11, 2016:
Late 1990s: Many shops in Saudi Arabia had small plastic donation boxes. I asked my dad about their purpose. He told me that the money went to the mujaheddin in Afghanistan. Arabs were freely supporting al-Qaeda.People in the West raise money for their schools, communities, and for the downtrodden. Muslim charity (zakat) often goes to Jihad. The FBI is ignorant, incompetent or incredibly malevolent. You decide.
The NYPD Intelligence Division & Counter-Terrorism Bureau are seeking to speak with a woman that was caught on surveillance video taking pictures of a Jewish school in borough park.
The incident took place last week on Thursday afternoon at approximately 2:30 p.m.
The woman, dressed like a Muslim, showed up at the Yeshiva Imeri Yosef Spinka school located at 15th avenue and 58th street. She proceeded to take photos and look around all sides of the building as if to spy and stake out the place.
The school’s surveillance video was handed over to the NYPD.
Investigators from the Intelligence Division are now reviewing the video, NYPD officials told JP.
According to @wikileaks, Julian Assange will appear via video link at Berlin press conference on Tuesday AM— Jesse Rodriguez (@JesseRodriguez) October 2, 2016
UPDATED: After canceling a planned announcement in London, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is now planning to appear via video link Tuesday morning at Wikileak’s tenth anniversary celebration in Berlin.
He’s a last-minute addition to the roster of festivities taking place this week in Germany. Wikileaks used its Facebook page to confirm that Assange would speak at the event, which takes place at 3am Eastern time.
Sources close to the event tell Heat Street that Assange may be planning to release some new information his organization has obtained about the U.S. Democratic Party. But Heat Street has yet to receive independent confirmation that Assange plans to dump information specifically on Hillary Clinton.
The news that Assange plans to appear (remotely) in Berlin comes after Wikileaks abruptly canceled a much-anticipated announcement in London that was to be made from the balcony of London’s Ecuadorian Embassy, where Assange has sought sanctuary for years.
The cancelation was first reported by NBC News. According to NBC’s Jesse Rodriguez, the announcement was canceled due to “security concerns”.
The train that slammed into Hoboken Terminal on Thursday, killing one person and injuring more than 100, ran its fateful final route with no functioning data recorder in the locomotive, making it impossible for investigators to gather valuable information on why the train crashed, a federal official said Sunday.
It was one of several NJ Transit equipment failures onboard the train, as detailed Sunday by Bella Dinh-Zarr, vice chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, which is leading the investigation. News of the broken data recorder comes after it was revealed that the Federal Railroad Administration fined NJ Transit in June for multiple safety violations, and that the administration is still monitoring NJ Transit’s performance.
“That’s quite an old event data recorder,” she said. “Usually when they’re not working, they’re replaced.”
Despite those equipment failures, the train may not have been speeding at the time of the accident. Thomas Gallagher, identified as the train’s engineer, told investigators that he was traveling 10 miles an hour as he entered the station, within normal limits. That may contradict some early news reports, which quoted passengers and eyewitnesses who said the train was moving quickly when it crashed.

Denied physical access to the scene, investigators tried other methods. They used a laser scanner to create three-dimensional images of the front two cars, she said, and used a drone to take pictures of the collapsed roof. Investigators interviewed crash victims in three different hospitals. They also reviewed video recordings from trains that were nearby at the time of the crash, but they “unfortunately obtained no pertinent information,” the vice chairman said.
The next step centers on getting inside the pinned train. Workers started removing debris from the crash site on Saturday afternoon, and that process will continue “24 hours a day” until it’s done, Dinh-Zarr said.Why don't the investigators use robot/drone imaging technology to examine the cars in such a precarious condition? The delay leaves evidence vulnerable to weather or any acts of God as well as tampering if terrorism was at play.
Report: WikiLeaks founder won't make announcement because of 'security concerns'The Clinton Political Machine strikes again?
The status of WikiLeaks' anticipated release of information on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is up in the air.
After Donald Trump ally Roger Stone tweeted the group was set to release information about Clinton on Wednesday, a NBC News reporter tweeted that the group was no longer making the announcement.
"Due to security concerns at the Ecuadorian Embassy, Julian Assange's balcony announcement on Tues has been cancelled, per @wikileaks," Rodriguez tweeted.
It's unclear if Assange's scheduled speech means there will be no release of new information on Clinton or if WikiLeaks will release new documents but without the pomp and circumstance of Assange making a speech.
WikiLeaks has released a trove of emails related to the Democratic National Committee's dealings over the presidential primary race between Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Those emails had more of an impact on the DNC than the Clinton campaign directly, which revealed correspondence DNC officials plotting to undermine Sanders in favor of Clinton. Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz stepped down from her post as chairwoman of the committee along with multiple staffers in the wake of the email dump.
National security analysts have suggested WikiLeaks received the emails from hackers working at the direction of Russia or possibly agents of the Kremlin. It's been widely speculated that WikiLeaks is being used by Russian President Vladimir Putin to influence the United States election.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has promised to release information that could impact the race before Nov. 8.
Israel's Shin Bet domestic security service and Jerusalem Police uncovered a terrorist cell run by the Islamic State group in East Jerusalem that planned to carry out attacks across Israel, the Shin Bet cleared for publication Sunday.I think there's valid grounds for exiling these monsters far outside the boundaries of Israel, to some remote part of the Arabian desert where they're far away from civilization as can be. But for now, they should be locked away underground. Besides, all they want to see is darkness.
Six residents from the Shoafat refugee camp and the neighborhood of Anata are accused of establishing an IS terror cell, attempting to reach Egypt or Syria to join IS fighters, and of planning to carry out terror attacks in Israel on behalf of the group. with attempting to join the Islamic State.
Indictments were filed against four members of the squad Sunday morning at the Jerusalem District Court, while indictments were filed in the Magistrate's Court against two other squad members. The group members face charges of attempting to aid an enemy during war, membership in an illegal organization, membership in a terror organization, and aiding a terror group.
According to the investigation, the members of the cell planned several serious attacks, including mass attacks around the country and kidnappings.
The indictment said the network had been established in 2015 by 29-year-old Ahmad Shweiky, Ha'aretz reports. He is said to have set up a weekly study group that met to study IS ideology.
Members of the group allegedly cut their hair, grew out their beards, and folded the hem of their pants in a fashion customary among Islamic State supporters.
Two of the suspects, Amer Al-Baiyeh and Mohammed Hamid, are said to have travelled to Israel's southern border with Egypt six months ago where they made an unsuccessful attempt to obtain visas to cross into the Sinai peninsula, a hotbed of jihadist activity in Egypt.
