Foreign AffairsRe: Fox News And Hosts Sued In Sexual Harassment Suit by PDPGuy(op): 4:48am On Jul 21, 2020
Fox News denied the allegations against its hosts in a statement:

“Based on the findings of a comprehensive independent investigation conducted by an outside law firm, including interviews with numerous eyewitnesses, we have determined that all of Cathy Areu’s claims against FOX News, including its management as well as its hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity & Howard Kurtz and its contributor Gianno Caldwell, are false, patently frivolous and utterly devoid of any merit.
Foreign AffairsFox News And Hosts Sued In Sexual Harassment Suit by PDPGuy(op): 4:47am On Jul 21, 2020
Two women accused male Fox News hosts of sexual harassment and, in one woman's case, rape, in a lawsuit filed on Monday in federal court in New York.

Ed Henry, who was fired as a host earlier this month, was accused of sexual harassment and rape in the suit, while hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Howard Kurtz were alleged to have separately behaved in a sexually inappropriate way. Jennifer Eckhart, a former producer, accused Henry of rape and threatening retaliation for refusing his advances.

Cathy Areu, a reporter often invited on the network, accused Henry, Hannity, Carlson and Kurtz of sexual harassment and gender discrimination.

The suit alleges Henry groomed and coerced Eckhart into a violent sexual relationship where Henry physically restrained and raped Eckhart when she refused his advances. The suit includes text messages reportedly from Henry to Eckhart verbally demeaning her and demanding sex. The suit also alleges Henry took explicit photos of Eckhart without her consent and used them to taunt her.
Eckhart was 24 — about half of Henry's age — at the time, and the suit accuses Henry of using his seniority to manipulate Eckhart into a sexual relationship.

Fox News revealed July 1 that it had fired Henry after receiving a complaint against him a week earlier of “willful sexual misconduct.“ The internal memo announcing his ouster did not detail the nature of his removal but said the network “strictly prohibits all forms of sexual harassment, misconduct and discrimination.“

But the lawsuit argues that those claims are specious at best. It said that Eckhart informed Fox News of the alleged rape on June 25 and that her lawyers described in detail her allegation of rape, including graphic text messages from Henry.

Fox News had also been aware of Henry's predatory behavior since at least 2017, the suit claims, when the network conducted a company-wide investigation into sexual harassment. Though multiple women came forward to complain about Henry, the network suspended him only briefly before offering him a co-anchor position on the “America's Newsroom“ program, the suit said. Eckhart accused the network of violating sex trafficking laws by allowing Henry‘s alleged predatory behavior.

Areu also accused Henry of sexually inappropriate behavior, including sending her sexually graphic photos and pressuring her to have sex with him for professional favors. When she made it clear there would be no sex involved in their relationship, Henry called her “boring“ and ended their professional relationship, the lawsuit said.

Areu has never been employed by Fox News, though the lawsuit said Henry was aware she was looking for full-time employment at the network.

After his firing on July 1, Henry tweeted a statement from his lawyer that said: “Ed Henry denies the allegations referenced in the Fox announcement and is confident that he will be vindicated after a full hearing in an appropriate forum.“

Areu also accused Hannity and Carlson of professional retaliation for refusing misogynistic behavior. Hannity offered $100 for a member of staff to go on a date with her, which she described as a humiliating incident, and she was hardly ever invited back on his show after she refused to play along, the suit said. Areu said Carlson implicitly invited her back to his hotel room for sex in 2018 and refused to have her on his show after she turned down his advances. Areu also accused Kurtz and Fox News analyst Gianno Caldwell in her suit of conditioning professional developmental opportunities on sexual or romantic favors.

Instead of you to channel these spiritual.powers agu at those holding the country down you guys are busy telling us to being money to church to receive blessing.

What blessing are we talking about for Christ sake? To drive cars when your neighbour is wallowing in poverty? Or send your kids abroad when the system is not functional and millions are suffering.

You guys are part of the problem.

I'm sure you guys love the fact that poverty is rife in the land so that you can continue fleecing people of their money.

It's only tithe you guys know how to preach about. Rubbish.
I’m willing to bet that if Nigerian churches devote 99% of their sermons to living a holy, righteous life, 95% of the church members would leave the church.

HARDDON:
was tithe listed as part of the law?

Does Christ's death, redeeming us from sin, stop 'seed time and harvest?' or the Rainbow, and so many other things listed in the old testament?

Have you not read that even the Pharisees, worse sets of sinners in Christ's despensation , paid tithe?
Did Jesus Christ himself not sit and watch as people cast their offerings where he noticed that the poor widow gave much more than every other person?
Why would he sit to observe giving if it wasn't important?

Read what Christ told the Pharisees in Matthew 23:23:

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former".

Like I said, I hate splitting hairs on this matter. Do what works for you. But, the fact remains that one verse of the scripture cannot break the other. Neither can you wish away tithing.
This is a ploy to blindfold people and have them in perpetual bondage and financial lack and want. those who are wise see thru the veil.

The gospel must reach the ends of the earth ( alot of funds is needed for that) and God's Church would keep moving whether you pay your tithe or not.


The evil forces behind these attack on churches know what they are doing.
Why was nobody complaining about tithing when the church was asleep financially and got jeer at with statements as " as poor as a church rat?"

Politicians like it when fake pastors go begging them for money. but suddenly, the church has now woken up financially, and all the undue influence they had over pastors, suddenly ceased. They want that influence back but it is not going to happen ever again. Now, they attack the church
FYI, politicians still have influence over a good number of pastors in Naija

It's just funny blowing offside for a difference not more than a toe nail.
That’s why I support Wenger’s proposal to amend the offside rule to only apply when the attacking player’s ENTIRE BODY is ahead of the last defender.

PoliticsEnugu Airport To Open August 30 by PDPGuy(op): 6:50pm On Jul 14, 2020
The Federal Government, Tuesday, gave August 30, as new reopening day for the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu. Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika disclosed this after an emergency inspection tour of the facility.

The minister on arrival at the airport held a lengthy meeting with the contractor, officials of FAAN and the Enugu State Government.
He assured that the new day was achievable given the less of work left to be done.

The airport was closed for reconstruction on August 24, last year and during the period, government had assured that it would be ready for use at the 2019 Christmas season. However, 11 months after, uncertainty still surrounds the completion date as the contractor complained of daunting challenges.

That may work.
But they'll still find a charge on his numerous offences to dock him there. Then he might also be sentenced there and extradited to St Kitts Or Dubai for the jail term and later get extradited to Nigeria after finishing his sentence.
cool
PoliticsLegal Basis For The Fbi’s Arrest Of Hushpupi by PDPGuy(op): 9:20am On Jul 11, 2020
Hushpupi’s attorney’s argument that the arrest of his client by the FBI was not proper due to the fact that he is a Nigerian citizen, may easily be thrown out by the court.

United States case law, as enunciated by the US Supreme Court gives federal prosecutors a lot of leeway in arresting and prosecuting defendants who resided in countries that do not have a subsisting extradition treaty with the United States.

Below is the explanation and relevant case law that supports my postulation, which is straight from the US Department of Justice:

If the fugitive is not a national or lawful resident of the country in which he or she is located, the Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs (OIA), through the Department of State or other channels, may ask that country to deport, expel, or otherwise effectuate the lawful return of the fugitive to the United States.

In United States v. Alvarez-Machain, 504 U.S. 655 (1992), the Supreme Court held that a court has jurisdiction to try a criminal defendant even if the defendant was abducted from a foreign country against his or her will by United States agents. Though this decision reaffirmed the long-standing proposition that personal jurisdiction is not affected by claims of abuse in the process by which the defendant is brought before the court, see Ker v. Illinois, 119 U.S. 436 (1886); Frisbie v. Collins, 342 U.S. 519 (1952), it sparked concerns about potential violations of foreign sovereignty, territorial integrity, and criminal law.

Due to the sensitivity of abducting defendants from a foreign country, prosecutors may not take steps to secure custody over persons outside the United States (by government agents or the use of private persons, like bounty hunters or private investigators) by means of Alvarez-Machain type returns without advance approval by the Department of Justice. Prosecutors must consult with OIA before they undertake any such operation. If a prosecutor anticipates that a defendant may raise a claim that his return was illegal, the prosecutor must consult with OIA before such return.

Fugitives deported to the United States or otherwise legally returned without a formal order of extradition may claim that they were returned illegally to the United States. The courts generally dispose of those arguments under the Ker-Frisbie doctrine.”

It could be argued that the US asked the UAE to effectuate Hushpupi’s return to the US through the handover of Hushpupi by the Dubai police to the FBI.

The Frisbie Doctrine refers to a principle applied in the context of extradition and generally holds that criminal defendants may be prosecuted in U.S. courts regardless of whether their presence has been obtained through the use of applicable extradition treaties. The principle was developed through two cases.

1. Ker v. Illinois, 119 U.S. 436 (U.S. 1886), the U.S. Supreme Court held that "such forcible abduction is no sufficient reason why the party should not answer when brought within the jurisdiction of the court which has the right to try him for such an offence, and presents no valid objection to his trial in such court”.

2. Frisbie v. Collins, 342 U.S. 519 (U.S. 1952), the Supreme Court upheld the conviction over challenges based on due process and federal kidnapping laws.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Manchester City To Learn Result Of Appeal To CAS Over European Ban On Monday by PDPGuy(op): 9:02pm On Jul 10, 2020
Manchester City will learn on Monday whether their appeal against a two-year ban from European club competitions has been successful.

City appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) after Uefa's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) issued the ban in February.

The CFCB ruled the club had committed "serious breaches" of Uefa's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations between 2012 and 2016. They were also fined 30m euros (£25m).

City immediately signalled their intention to appeal to Cas. They believe the CFCB was not independent and ended up being distrustful of it, partly due to the amount of secretive information the club felt was leaked to the media.

They are adamant that what they consider an independent judiciary will clear them. "We are ready," said manager Pep Guardiola on Friday. I have a lot of confidence and trust with the people that we will be allowed to play the Champions League because we want to be on the field during these years."

Their appeal began in June and has been heard by three Cas lawyers in private video conferences.

Unless the club are successful, they will not be able to participate in Europe's flagship competition next season and will be prevented from playing in the annual Uefa Super Cup if they win this season's delayed Champions League.
