Ultimate Revenge For ISIS Sex Slave - Captors Death, Killed By A Planned Drone Strike By Iraqi Forces & Her

- She was forced by ISIS to whip countless 'screaming' women.

"Farida, 27, is currently living in a refugee camp near Erbil after being, held captive in ISIS-held Mosul for two years.

Iraqi forces launched the operation to retake Mosul, the country's second city, in October, retaking its eastern side before setting their sights on its smaller but more densely-populated west.

Farida was kept a prisoner in Mosul before finally escaping after two years of hell.

'An ISIS fighter kept me as a slave', she said. 'But he still had a wife. she also wanted to flee.'

Working together, the two women hatched a plan to kill the terrorist, managing to communicate with the Iraqi Army to describe the exact position of his car so an air strike could take him out.

She said: 'We hid for eight days, so people thought we had died in the car too. Only then did we escape.'

She has been reunited in the refugee camp with her husband, who was on police duty in another part of the country when she was abducted.

'I tried to keep my honour, but I have not succeeded. They have abused and beaten me, treated me like an animal. I have barely words to describe what happened to me', she added.

Miyasa Hodor revealed how she was forced by ISIS to whip countless 'screaming' women because they did not wear a veil or socks.

'For adultery, you would be stoned to death. For stealing, they cut off your hand. And for not wearing the veil, whipping,' she told Sky News.

In another harrowing account, Waheda Musa, 32, and her son Matu, seven, have been reunited with their family for the first time in two-and-a-half-years.

Recalling her ordeal in Mosul, she said: 'They tormented my son, trained him to use weapons and as punishment imprisoned him in cages.'

'They have sold me five times. I was exhibited as if I were at a cattle market, first to men from Saudi Arabia, later to Jordanian fighters', she said.

'I had no training. My duty was to punish those who weren't wearing gloves or socks, or the veil. They brought us about 50 people a day.'

The first time they told me 'you have to do it.' 'I said 'I cannot.' They said, 'yes you can, you have to.'...

The brutal brainwashing and mind destruction Islam impresses upon the minds of females, is evil. To think after all the violent and vicious abuse, rape,... Farida had endured, she would need to worry about her honor, is ludicrous. If this scenario does not paint a picture of pure cold blooded evil, that most individuals should be able to grasp with their minds, I am not sure what would. At least she had the courage to plan her captors death, with his other wife and the Iraqi forces.

Man Cleared Of Raping 17-Year-Old In Mexico! Why? Because He Acted Without 'Carnal Intent' - To All Who Support Sanctuary Cities/States In America READ This 'Ferocious Zeta Drug Cartel Has Monopoly Over State'

- Activists hailed the Mexican federal government's first-ever "gender alert" July 29, 2015

Found @: ABC15

By Amanda Erickson
March 29, 2017

"For months after he learned in 2015 that his 17-year-old daughter was kidnapped outside a club and raped by some of her former classmates, Javier Fernandez said, he refused to go to the police.

That's not to say he didn't want justice. It's all the single father wanted for Daphne, his youngest child. "I wanted to kill them all," he told a New Yorker writer last year.

But in Veracruz, Mexico you don't rely on the police to punish the guilty and protect the innocent. "The last thing the system of justice provides is justice. I just didn't trust the authorities," Frenandez said. He worried that the police would humiliate his daughter and then delay her case endlessly. "I knew they would fail us," he said in an interview.

Instead, Fernandez decided to meet with the men - the three alleged perpetrators and the purported driver of the car - and their well-to-do parents. In those sit-downs, which he taped, he demanded apologies. The young men complied.

"I regret what happened," one said, his words captured on video. "I did great harm."

"I don't doubt it happened and we made a mistake," another said. "We were wrong."

Fernandez hoped the expressions of contrition would help his daughter. Instead, things got worse. Rumors of Daphne's "promiscuity"  began to spread on social media. In a note of Facebook, she described those days as a "kick in the stomach." "If I've gone out drinking, if I have worn short skirts, like the great majority of girls my age, that's why they're going to judge me?" she asked. "For that reason, I deserved it?"

Daphne's story - its horrible beginning and unjust end - has rippled across Mexico. Perhaps that's because the tale is so familiar. "To many citizens" in Veracruz, "there is little difference between the rich and the government, and between the government and the criminals," according to the New Yorker piece. The ferocious Zeta drug cartel has a near-monopoly over the state. Eight out of 10 people there say they live in fear. Since 2011, at least 15 journalists have been killed and hundreds of people have vanished. (One human rights advocate, Father Alefandro Solalinde, called the city "a factory of forced disappearances.")

Unsurprisingly, few trust the justice system and fewer come forward after an attack.

Women in Mexico are being abducted, raped and killed at record rates. Women in areas hit hard by the drug war are particularly vulnerable. In conflict zones, women become "territory" to be conquered, and rape is a tool used to intimidate rival gangs and the local population.

"Violence against women isn't an epidemic, it's a pandemic in Mexico," Ana Guezmez, the country's representative to Untied Nations Women, told Reuters..."

'Anthem' Depicts What Happens To A Society That Implements Selflessness...

- 'Anthem' tells the story of one man's rebellion against a totalitarian society

Selflessness

"Men have been taught that the ego is the synonym of evil, and selflessness the ideal of virtue. But the creator is the egoist in the absolute sense, and the selfless man is the one who does not think, feel, judge or act. These are functions of the self.

[Peter Keating is] paying the price and wondering for what sin and telling himself that he’s been too selfish. In what act or thought of his has there ever been a self? What was his aim in life? Greatness—in other people’s eyes. Fame, admiration, envy—all that which comes from others. Others dictated his convictions, which he did not hold, but he was satisfied that others believed he held them. Others were his motive power and his prime concern. He didn’t want to be great, but to be thought great. He didn’t want to build, but to be admired as a builder. He borrowed from others in order to make an impression on others. There’s your actual selflessness. It’s his ego that he’s betrayed and given up. But everybody calls him selfish . . .

Isn’t that the root of every despicable action? Not selfishness, but precisely the absence of a self. Look at them. The man who cheats and lies, but preserves a respectable front. He knows himself to be dishonest, but others think he’s honest and he derives his self-respect from that, second-hand. The man who takes credit for an achievement which is not his own. He knows himself to be mediocre, but he’s great in the eyes of others. The frustrated wretch who professes love for the inferior and clings to those less endowed, in order to establish his own superiority by comparison..."

Self

"A man’s self is his mind—the faculty that perceives reality, forms judgments, chooses values.

The self you have betrayed is your mind; self-esteem is reliance on one’s power to think. The ego you seek, that essential “you” which you cannot express or define, is not your emotions or inarticulate dreams, but your intellect, that judge of your supreme tribunal whom you’ve impeached in order to drift at the mercy of any stray shyster you describe as your “feeling...”

Your self is your mind; renounce it and you become a chunk of meat ready for any cannibal to swallow.

Second Handers

"A [second-hander] is one who regards the consciousness of other men as superior to his own and to the facts of reality. It is to a [second-hander] that the moral appraisal of himself by others is a primary concern which supersedes truth, facts, reason, logic. The disapproval of others is so shatteringly terrifying to him that nothing can withstand its impact within his consciousness; thus he would deny the evidence of his own eyes and invalidate his own consciousness for the sake of any stray charlatan’s moral sanction. It is only a [second-hander] who could conceive of such absurdity as hoping to win an intellectual argument by hinting: “But people won’t like you!”

Notice how they’ll accept anything except a man who stands alone. They recognize him at once . . . . There’s a special, insidious kind of hatred for him. They forgive criminals. They admire dictators. Crime and violence are a tie. A form of mutual dependence. They need ties. They’ve got to force their miserable little personalities on every single person they meet. The independent man kills them—because they don’t exist within him and that’s the only form of existence they know. Notice the malignant kind of resentment against any idea that propounds independence. Notice the malice toward an independent man.

U.S. Study Reveals New Forms of Modern Day Slavery...

- Above photo and stats found @: Haiku Deck

"BOGOTA, March 29 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - From the exploitation of workers in carnivals to forcing people into door-to-door sales, more under-reported forms of modern slavery are emerging in the United States which need to be tackled, according to a report released on Wednesday.

The anti-slavery group Polaris said it had analysed data from 40,000 likely cases of human trafficking and labour exploitation based on calls to a national hotline since 2007 and divided these into 25 different types of modern slavery.

"We found cases of personal sexual servitude where gang members hold someone basically in captivity in their house for purposes of their own sexual pleasure," Myles told the Thomson Reuters Foundation, adding that traffickers had unique ways of recruiting and controlling victims.

The report also uncovered more obscure types of trafficking, involving victims forced to work in acting, choir and dance troupes or made to operate rides and food stalls at carnivals and fairs. It also uncovered children being forced to beg.

Children who have run away from home, those who have been sexually abused, and those in the care of social services or foster parents, are most vulnerable.

"Manipulative and very predatory U.S. citizen pimps see a market opportunity to re-exploit those already vulnerable U.S. citizen girls and boys," he said.

Moms Tips While Shopping With Kids - Be Aware Of... Strangers Following/Targeting You To Human Traffick... This Is Happening All Over The U.S. - In Our Backyards

"When Diandra Toyos was shopping at Ikea with her mom and three kids, she had a strange feeling that something was seriously wrong. Call it a mother's intuition or just being an observant parent, but strangers in the couch department were giving this mom a bad vibe.

What happened next will send chills down any parent's spine and Diandra is sharing her story to warn everyone about what could happen if families aren't careful. "I noticed a well dressed, middle aged man circling the area, getting closer to me and the kids," she wrote on Facebook. "At one point he came right up to me and the boys, and instinctively I put myself between he and my mobile son. I had a bad feeling."

In addition to this stranger following them, Diandra's mom noticed another male staying close by. "He wasn't looking at us, but was walking the same circling pattern around us as the first man," she wrote. "My mom and I decided to sit down and wait for them to move on. We had a gut feeling something was going on, but we hoped we were wrong and they would move on."

I am almost sure that we were the targets of human trafficking," she explained, though she admits in an edit to the post that she has no exact confirmation on what the men were really up to. "This is happening all over, including the United States. It's in our backyards. I'm reading more and more about these experiences and it's terrifying. If not that, something else shady was obviously going on. Either way, as parents, we NEED to be aware."

Diandra noticed a few things about these men she wants other parents to be aware of when out with their kids. 

1# They weren't shopping or waiting for anyone. 

2# "The older man would occasionally pick something up and act like he was looking at it, but he'd look right over the top of it at my kids," she wrote. "Then he'd drop it and move on as soon as we did."

3# These men were alone and didn't talk to anyone or even smile.

4# But most importantly, they were spending most of their time in an area that was close to an exit. "They could have run out that exit with my child and handed them off to someone waiting outside.

5# Most importantly, Diandra wants all parents to keep one thing in mind whenever they are out with their kids:

Please PLEASE be aware when you're out with your children..."

Sacredness/Modesty/Purity BIG Business For Predators

 You know that if there is such

 a concept as “sacred”

meaning: 

the best, 

the highest possible to man

this look is the sacred, 

the not-to-be-betrayed, 

the not-to-be-sacrificed 

for anything or anyone.

- Ayn Rand

The definition of sacredness to the majority of individuals on earth, is the complete opposite to the above quote. That is the cause, of the majority of crazy-making and problems in our world. I adhere to the above quote with earnest conviction. NO one will EVER tell me what I do, what to think, who my partner(s) will be, what career I chose...! This is my life!

Religion and most philosophies throughout time, have forced a deranged version of sacredness and modesty into the minds of individuals. Which in turn has fueled another business, that preys upon sacredness and modesty. The 'Sex' business, sex slavery,... The original impression they imprint on minds, of the sacredness of sex and modesty, is a facade.

It is the year 2017 and we must live in the reality of the year 2017. Not the reality of 2000 years ago. We must look at the world today and observe what is going on and why it is going on. Sacredness and modesty is in high demand for predators, traffickers, middle men, agents... in the sex business. They search for it, target it, knowing the kind of ideas and situations that breed it. 

The Islamic man and his gang abusing, destroying, terrorizing, torturing me thinks purity is good. He is going to find out, I am not out here being pure for him. I am NOT part of his purity business or campaign. What I am, is out to destroy the purity campaign, after this fucking shit. To wreck the greatest havoc, on the false impression of sacredness, modesty and purity. 

If you want to be sacred, modest and pure by choice, that is different then being forced to. If you think sacredness, modesty or purity prevents rapes, all you have to do is look to the muslim countries where women are in full burqas (you can only see their eyes)  and they are still raped. When they are raped in full garb, it takes four male witnesses to say the rape did NOT happen! 

They say female genital mutilation is necessary because muslim men are sexually weak? No man, or woman is sexually weak, they make choices to rape, be predators, sexually abuse and use others. Sexual weakness is not an ingrained trait! You make choices to attack others and infringe upon their rights. Start BLAMING yourselves, for your bad actions and decisions. 

This Story Is NOT A Fairy Tale - But A Serious CRIME Tennessee Teacher Groomed Student, Kidnapped Her Using Complete Deception - Might Have Gone To Mexico

"As the manhunt intensifies for a 15-year-old Tennessee student and her former teacher who allegedly kidnapped her, authorities say it's possible the two are in Mexico.

There have been no credible sightings of 50-year-old Tad Cummins and 15-year-old Elizabeth Thomas in the two weeks they've been missing, officials said today.

Cummins, who is accused of kidnapping Elizabeth on March 13, is wanted on allegations of aggravated kidnapping and sexual contact with a minor. An Amber Alert has been issued for Elizabeth.

This morning, Brent Cooper, the district attorney for Maury County, Tennessee, asked members of the public to share the Amber Alert with friends and family members in Mexico and Central America, adding that Mexican law enforcement was notified of the Amber Alert and "it's possible that's where they are."

Cooper said Cummins "planned this in such a way that he had a 24-hour head start ... easily enough time for him to make it to Mexico."

Cooper called Cummins a "religious man" and said "it's possible that he's playing the role of a missionary in that area."

Some have characterized this relationship as a romance. But this morning I want to caution the public to avoid anything that might look or sound like victim blaming," he said. "This is not a fairy tale. This is a case of kidnapping."

He was kind of brainwashing all the kids into thinking he was something he wasn't," Cooper said. "I'm sure all that played into Elizabeth's feelings toward him. It was a complete deception."

"She may not realize she's in danger. She may not realize she's been taken against her will," he continued. "If you see them and they look happy, that doesn't matter. This is a serious crime."

The TBI said that Cummins, who was fired one day after the alleged kidnapping, "may have been abusing his role as a teacher to groom [Thomas] ... in an effort to lure and potentially sexually exploit her..."

Dictators and Dictatorship - Ayn Rand

Dictators:

"Destruction is the only end that the mystics’ creed has ever achieved, as it is the only end that you see them achieving today, and if the ravages wrought by their acts have not made them question their doctrines, if they profess to be moved by love, yet are not deterred by piles of human corpses, it is because the truth about their souls is worse than the obscene excuse you have allowed them, the excuse that the end justifies the means and that the horrors they practice are means to nobler ends. The truth is that those horrors are their ends.

You who’re depraved enough to believe that you could adjust yourself to a mystic’s dictatorship and could please him by obeying his orders—there is no way to please him; when you obey, he will reverse his orders; he seeks obedience for the sake of obedience and destruction for the sake of destruction. You who are craven enough to believe that you can make terms with a mystic by giving in to his extortions—there is no way to buy him off, the bribe he wants is your life, as slowly or as fast as you are willing to give it in—and the monster he seeks to bribe is the hidden blank-out in his mind, which drives him to kill in order not to learn that the death he desires is his own.

Every dictator is a mystic, and every mystic is a potential dictator. A mystic craves obedience from men, not their agreement. He wants them to surrender their consciousness to his assertions, his edicts, his wishes, his whims—as his consciousness is surrendered to theirs. He wants to deal with men by means of faith and force—he finds no satisfaction in their consent if he must earn it by means of facts and reason. Reason is the enemy he dreads and, simultaneously, considers precarious; reason, to him, is a means of deception; he feels that men possess some power more potent than reason—and only their causeless belief or their forced obedience can give him a sense of security, a proof that he has gained control of the mystic endowment he lacked. His lust is to command, not to convince: conviction requires an act of independence and rests on the absolute of an objective reality. What he seeks is power over reality and over men’s means of perceiving it, their mind, the power to interpose his will between existence and consciousness, as if, by agreeing to fake the reality he orders them to fake, men would, in fact, create it.

Read about Dictators @: Ayn Rand Lexicon

Dictatorship:

A dictatorship is a country that does not recognize individual rights, whose government holds total, unlimited power over men.

The right of a nation to determine its own form of government does not include the right to establish a slave society (that is, to legalize the enslavement of some men by others). There is no such thing as “the right to enslave.” A nation can do it, just as a man can become a criminal—but neither can do  it by right.

Dictatorship nations are outlaws. Any free nation had the right to invade Nazi Germany and, today, has the right to invade Soviet Russia, Cuba or any other slave pen. Whether a free nation chooses to do so or not is a matter of its own self-interest, not of respect for the non-existent “rights” of gang rulers. It is not a free nation’s duty to liberate other nations at the price of self-sacrifice, but a free nation has the right to do it, when and if it so chooses.

Boston Bombing Survivor Walks Runway w/Prosthetic...

"Boston bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet walked the runway in a high-tech prosthetic leg as she opened and closed for Canadian designer Lesley Hampton at Vancouver Fashion Week.

“What. An. Honor,” Haslet wrote on Instagram of her experience walking in Hampton’s #BeBodyAware show. In effort to exemplify body empowerment, Hampton collaborated with the Be Body Aware project to cast models of all shapes and sizes to promote a future of inclusivity and diversity on the catwalk. The Toronto-based designer stated that Haslet exemplifies everything the Lesley Hampton Label stands for.

“Having her as part of my wolfpack and giving her another chance to tell her story through my designs is an inspiration and an incredible experience,” she said in a press release. “Together with the Be Body Aware project, I am hoping to set as an example for anyone affected by adversity and stand up once again to the fashion standards.”

Haslet lost her left leg below the knee at the 2013 Boston Marathon, after two homemade bombs went off near the finish line. She has since become a global advocate for amputees and inspires thousands across the globe to face life with a unique perspective.

"Syrian Defector: I Expected More From The World... Muslims Hate Muslims, Islam Is A Primitive Religious Cult All About Obedience, Death, Destruction - Not About Life

"(CNN)The Syrian defector who smuggled out tens of thousands of photos of people allegedly tortured to death in Assad regime jails has spoken out in his first TV interview.

In an exclusive interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, the defector, code-named "Caesar," urged US President Donald Trump to stop what he calls the "criminality" taking place in Syria's government-run prisons.

We are asking to all the officials, to all the policy makers, to President Trump's White House, which we are hoping will do the right thing, we beg you to stop the machinery of death in Syria.

There are now criminal cases based on Caesar's evidence filed in Spain, Germany, and France, according to Stephen Rapp, former US Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes.

" I was horrified, I was terrified every day of the job that I was doing," he said. "I would look at the different horrendous ways that these individuals were slaughtered and tortured to death."

"We saw a lot of things that were made so (that) people would die very slowly under torture or being starved for long periods of time, and these bodies and victims were coming from all of these different intelligence branches," he added.

Caesar says he found himself taking photographs of up to 50 bodies a day, and recounted how he would often picture himself as one of the dead.

The Syrian regime has consistently denied allegations of human rights abuses and war crimes.

In an interview with Foreign Affairs magazine in 2015, President Assad called into question the authenticity of the photos, saying: "You can bring photos from anyone and say this is torture. Who took the pictures? Who is he? Nobody knows. There is no verification of any of this evidence, so it's all allegations without evidence."

Rapp recently told Amanpour that the evidence against the Assad regime "is massive and overwhelming far better than they had, frankly, at Nuremberg or in The Hague at the Yugoslavia tribunal or that we had in Africa and in Sierra Leone with Charles Taylor or in Arusha with the genocide trials against the Rwandan leaders."

"This is very strong evidence that would make for a great trial, certainly, if we could organize them at the international level," Rapp added..."

The state-run WAM news agency reported that the Public Prosecution for Cybercrimes office had ordered Mansoor's arrest and that he will remain imprisoned pending an investigation into his alleged crimes.

The Dubai-based Gulf News said Mansoor is being accused of defaming the UAE on Twitter and Facebook, publishing false information about the country to damage its reputation abroad and promoting sectarianism. He is also facing charges that he encouraged people through social media to disobey UAE laws.

He was imprisoned in 2011 after being convicted of "insulting officials" and banned from traveling abroad due to his advocacy.

Human Rights First's Brian Dooely said in a statement that this most recent arrest is "frightening, given what we know about the treatment of those in custody in the Emirates..."

"This new Beck book, published August 18, 2015, is an indication of the evolution of Glenn Beck on Islam.  He’s not quite to full bloom “getting it”, but he’s a lot closer.  Several years ago Beck was more on the side of” radicals” and “terrorists” being an aberration of Islam – that most followers of Islam, Muslims, are good, decent people.  No reason not to trust them.

Now his new book paints a different picture, at least of Islam, if not of Muslims.

Beck invokes the lessons about Islam learned by Thomas Jefferson.  Sure, Jefferson owned a Qur’an which gave him a theoretical introduction to Islam.  The Marines Hymn’s reference to the halls of Montezuma and the shores of Tripoli are Jefferson’s “trial by fire” introduction to the reality of Islam as practiced in real, ugly, deadly life.

This time around, Beck portrays Islam as the religion, the ideology, that promotes terror and intolerance.  But his listing of the lies promoted by Islam’s defenders fall short in several areas.  These include, most notably, the Islamic cultural practice if not beloved doctrine of taqiyya (dissimulation, lying, and deceit),  the doctrine of abrogation, cultural pressures in the Islamic communities, the continuing use of the term “radical” as a habitual and mindless modifier of “Islam”, and the reformability of Islam.  These omissions are discussed in greater detail a bit later in this overview.

But first, here are the best parts of the book, the chapters that will benefit the politically correct, brainwashed masses the most.  Beck presents these topics as a series of lies about Islam.  He devotes 4 to 8 pages to each one.  But here is the abbreviated version of each:

Lie #1: “Islam is a religion of peace, and Islamic terrorists aren’t really Muslims.”

Lie #2: “Islam is not much different than Christianity or Judaism.”

Lie #3: “Jihad is a peaceful, internal struggle, not a war against infidels.”

Lie #4: “Muslims don’t actually seek to live under sharia, let alone impose it on others; there are so many different interpretations of it anyway.”

Lie #5: “America is safe from Sharia law.”

Lie #6: “The Caliphate is a fanciful dream.”

The Caliphate is a real and achievable objective of the minds of the most devout Muslims.  And assuming a degree of momentum in Islamic conquests, a world-wide Caliphate is absolutely achievable.

Lie #7: “Islam is tolerant toward non-Muslims.”

According to the Qur’an, once a critical mass of Muslim influence and power is achieved within the region they reside, the flip of the switch toward intolerance is required.

Lie #9: “Critics of Islam are bigots.”

This belief is a result of political correctness going to absurd extremes.  We can’t even criticize evil anymore without being called a bigot.  Speaking the truth to the ignorant may seem bigoted to the ignorant, but it is not bigoted if it is the truth.

Lie #10: “Islam respects the rights of women...”
