Mark Whalberg served 45 days for attempted murder after beating a middle-aged Vietnamese man unconscious while calling him “Vietnamese f**king sh*t” 

By age 13, Wahlberg had developed an addiction to cocaine and other substances. At 15, civil action was filed against him for his involvement in two separate incidents of harassing African-American children (the first were siblings of each other, and the second incident was a group of black school children on a field trip), by throwing rocks and shouting racial epithets. At 16, Wahlberg approached a middle-aged Vietnamese man named Thanh Lam on the street, and using a large wooden stick, knocked him unconscious while calling him a “Vietnam fucking shit”. That same day, Wahlberg also attacked a second Vietnamese man named Hoa “Johnny” Trinh, punching him in the face. He believed he had left his victim permanently blind in one eye. Trinh was interviewed in December 2014 by the Daily Mail; he revealed that he had already lost that eye during the Vietnam War, and did not know the identity of his assailant prior to being contacted by the media. According to court documents regarding these crimes, when Wahlberg was arrested later that night and returned to the scene of the first assault, he stated to police officers: “You don’t have to let him identify me, I’ll tell you now that’s the motherfucker who’s (sic) head I split open.” Investigators also noted that he “made numerous unsolicited racial statements about ‘gooks’ and ‘slant-eyed gooks’.”

‘Rich Kids of Tehran’ Highlights The Lavish Lifestyle Of Iran’s Ruling Elite

rich kids of tehran

Living in Iran isn’t all that bad – at least if you belong to the top one percent. An Instagram account called "Rich Kids of Tehran" has made that fact abundantly clear.

The account purported to show "the world how beautiful Tehran and people from Tehran are," and featured photos of Iranian youths flaunting Rolexes and Maseratis, sunning themselves by the pool, and living the high-life in general, much like rich kids everywhere.

Although seven young Iranian received suspended prison sentences and 91 lashes for posting their rendition of Pharrell William’s “Happy” music video, the repercussions the Rich Kids of Tehran are likely to face are apparently non-existent.

Most interesting were the photographs showing skimpily-clad women, in flagrant violation of Iran’s dress code, which mandates a hijab, or head garb, for women. Other photographs even showed what appears to be alcohol, also illegal in the Islamic Republic. According to Business Insider, though house parties and drinking are part of the lifestyle of Iranian youth, these activities are done behind closed doors, and definitely not exposed so freely over the Internet.

However, according to insiders, many of the youths featured on "Rich Kids of Tehran" are the children of Iran’s business elite and are therefore untouched by the regime’s harsh hand.

Modern Day Sexual Slavery Explained

charlie chaplain

A girl will be on a cruise ship or on tour package. Slavers will pay a good looking, smooth talking, polite, clean cut guy to basically be what is termed a “barker” or a “steer”.

They’ll pick out a set of girls, and they’ll work them. Find out how trusting, how naive, how street smart, how connected they are, how much money they’re worth, what is their families financial situations, how eager is this person to please someone else(ie easy to acquiesce).

Out of that pool of girls, they may pick one. They may wait.

If they pick one, they’ll work that girl, and try to seduce her or at least get her where they can talk alone and offer her a drink- they need to do this in the day or days leading up to a port of call. They’ll spike a drink with midazolam or another benzodiazapine or sedative- barbiturates are still commonly available offshore- so sometimes they’ll use those.

Another guy will come in here, he’s also on the boat. He’s someone in either security, maintenance, or planning. He takes the girl, who will be closed to passed out or even passed out. He gets her off ship and hands her off to slaver’s enforcer. The enforcer decides if he wants to buy her- based on her looks, based on the information the steer picked up, etc. The more easy to make her disappear and if she is good looking- they’ll pay anywhere from $400 for a girl all the way to $10,000. It gets split between the steer and the inside man.

If she is too high risk(has money, connections, something worries the enforcer)- they’ll give her back to the inside man and the inside man will kill her and get rid of her body. Some operations, it is expected that if the enforcer rejects a girl, he helps in getting rid of her. In addition to being a serial killer, Joran Vander Sloot was basically alternating between being a steer and being the “inside” guy- the hand off guy. I’m just giving you a frame of reference example.

From there, the enforcer is going to take a girl out in the country or to somewhere in a ghetto/shantytown/favilla. The girl will be threatened, she will be beaten, yelled at, and she will be raped. This is referred to as training. Other men, multiple men will rape her. This is her training.

She will then be given or forcibly administered sedatives, opiates, and either amphetamines or cocaine.

The boss of the operation will pick her up from the enforcer, and he will take her, get her clothes, and treat her better than the enforcer. He will reiterate what the enforcer has been telling her: if you run, you’ll be gang raped, tortured, and we’ll kill your family, and then finally we’ll kill you after the worst things that can happen to a person happen to you.

The boss- the pimp- will get a makeover, and he’ll alternate between being the good cop and the bad cop. He’ll take her to a club, he’ll party with her.

And then, he will take her and the other girls he owns with a chaperone(a less threatening enforcer) and the enforcer from before. They’ll hit casinos, hotels, bars, night clubs. They’ll take them out in vans even, and then when the girl is through with a trick she calls her chaperone and they’ll come get her. She’ll work all through the night. She gets nothing but food, drugs, and shelter. If she complains, talks to the wrong person, etc- she will be beaten, tortured, threatened, maybe “retrained”.

If she is difficult, if she gets an obvious STD that is expensive or difficult to treat, if she isn’t submissive to the johns, if she isn’t a money maker- they will sell her to a street pimp. The street pimp doesn’t care about her looks, he’ll beat her to a bloody pulp but she’s going to be bringing in money- be it $5 or $20 or $50. This is even worse because she’s basically got no time left. When a street pimp can’t sell her to another street pimp anymore, she’ll get a hotshot and they’ll dump her body.

If she is a successful girl, she’ll stay with the slaver-pimp, his den mother(usually a girl who snitched on other girls, took to the life and liked it, and was unusually loyal to the slaver pimp), and the chaperone and the enforcer.

They will hit major cities, and they’ll stay for a while. They’ll try those locations mentioned before. If that doesn’t pan out or business is slow in the hotels, clubs, bars- they’ll go to the Internet. Sites like EROS, Backpage, Puntersites, the now dead Escorts.com, the still alive TER, the still alive BigDoggie- they’ll post a couple flattering pictures, a description(vague) of what the girl is willing to do, and a number for the pimp’s chaperone or den mother- one of the two will act as the “booker”.

When they’ve been in one city a while, they leave, and they go on a circuit.

The idiot cops and naive but well meaning people on here referred to unexplained but reliable siting in Frisco.

Well, no shit… A girl will either get sold to a US based operator, or some of the slavers will feel some heat and they’ll head to New York or Florida or California.

They’ll bring the girls, the den mother, the enforcer, and the chaperone. They’ll arrange accommodations in whatever city they land in and they’ll negotiate with other slaver-pimps. They’ll trade and sell girls, some slaver-pimps will intrude on someone’s territory and his whole crew will get wiped out and forcibly disappeared. The girls will be integrated into the dominate slaver-pimp’s stable.

Either way, either with the slaver who first bought her or her new owner, they hit the circuit. They go from city to city and set up shop. They may stay a month or they may stay a week. The ones who stay a month or two will typically hit up the casinos, hotels, bars, clubs, etc, and at the same time, they’re being advertised on Backpage or those other sites. Backpage and Internet advertising is now heavily watched by cops and feds- they want low risk arrests that play well in the media or they want to get the slavers as snitches on CCE/RICO cases that involve drugs/guns and transnational gangs- MS13, Florencia 13, 18th Street, black gangs etc. Most of the time, the government knows full well about the slavery, but they turn a blind eye because a slaver-pimp is connected to so much shit that they are excellent sources of information and they’re great snitches because they have no scruples at all and they’ll sell anyone for anything to protect themselves.

If you don’t believe me about girls working a circuit, go on Backpage and pick out a girl’s number in a major city. Google that number, you’ll see all her backpage ads come up, possibly reviews of her services, other info and places where she’s advertised. Often times you’ll notice that number is associated with numerous girls, and the girls are in all different cities.

Girls who are really good looking and good money makers will hit the Internet escort scene where they can charge $150+ per hour, sometimes up to $400 an hour- and these are girls who advertise on Backpage. If they get sold to a major metro agency or major metro pimp, that pimp is usually connected as a snitch with LE and he’ll take and cater powerful people- prosecutors, governors, politicians, lawyers. A girl in an established upscale metro agency can earn $1000-$5000 an hour for a slaver-pimp.

The girls that tour, will hit the major interstates and they’ll go north-south on each coast and then hit the interstates to go east-west and go north-south in the mid-west and south-west to the major hub cities where prostitution thrives.

Agaiin, along the way, they may die, change hands through violence, or just be sold. Sometimes a girl will get away.

After they make a circuit, they’ll head back to the islands- they’ll work tourist areas and places the cruise ships and travel destination packages. They come back to the United States and do again. They’ll continue on for years, escape sometimes- temporarily or for good, get sold to lower and lower rungs of prostitution, and they’ll either die of poor health or be murdered when they’re no longer bringing in money.

(The disappearance of Amy Bradley was she sold into sex slavery?)

A lot of girls go missing in the US, the Islands, and all over Europe. Those that don’t end up in sexual slavery in those areas, or don’t end up dead- will be sold to high end brothels in Arab countries and in China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore. These girls will usually be sold to one person and they end up dead within 5-10 years. The others will living 1-10 years in sexual slavery and die of suicide, AIDS, or drug related conditions.

The way women are treated in the Middle East and Asia, those girls, I don’t like to think about it.

LE knows this shit goes on, but it isn’t tied heavily to property seizure, so it’s low value for that reason, and slaver-pimps are great snitches, so LE turns a blind eye as long as they get valuable intel. They don’t want to admit it happens, because it makes LE look bad, but if you search enough, you’ll find where they do make the busts- either the pimp had no value or they decided to offer him up to keep up appearances, or he did something so bad and so blatant they could no longer protect him.

It’s girls and women of all ages, children of both sexes are traded in.

The people who can afford to buy and use another human being are people who have money who have power and they protect the secrecy around the business. Slavery in this day in age is just like the mafia was for LE and society pre-Kefauver Committee- “there is no organized crime”.

Then when coyotes were running wild bringing immigrants, there were no immigrant gangs- that was just ignorant racist speculation, up until 18th St, MS-13, F13, their Sureno cousins, and their Norteno farmero rivals became undeniable, and suddenly mid-90’s there was the admission of immigrant gangs.

Going back to the 20’s, every decade up to now, there have been multi-year series of child sexual assaults and murders- Chicago(first in the 40’s and then in the 70’s- Gacy wasn’t entirely lying when he said that all the murders weren’t known and that he wasn’t the principal in all the murders), the Babes in the Wood Murders of Maryland and Pennsylvania, the Atlanta Child Murders, and others.

I believe Wayne Williams was involved in some or most of the Atlanta Child Murders- but I believe he was barker- acting as a “talent scout” as his cover, he was a scout all right- but a scout for sexual predators.

Police know terrible things go on, but if a person can roll over and provide information on some other crime that is less politically damaging- cops will make a deal with the devil and turn a blind eye. The really corrupt cops will see an innocent man like Jeffrey MacDonald spend his life behind bars, so they can continue with graft and not have decades of dirty laundry aired.

I’ve spoken to girls who got out. I was in a position once where I was asked to drive for a girl who was an independent escort- she was a friend of mine, she made no judgement about my lifestyle and I made none about hers- so we were friends. I wanted nothing to do with being a driver(transporter, collection agent, and body guard for an escort). She had been abducted into a ring when she was 17. She got away when her slaver-pimp crossed a group of old school Crip affiliated gangsters. They were into moving dope, not whores, so they told the girls to get lost. She spent 7 years and 8 months as a sexual slave. She became hardened to the life and she kept on as independent escort because it was a business she knew.

If These Walls Could Talk…Photos Inside An Abandoned Adult Movie Theater

$

Detroit’s Park Theater (also known as the “Lincoln Park Theater”) has had a rather long and diverse history. When it originally opened in 1925 in Lincoln City, Detroit, it was an elegant Art Deco style movie theater. In the late 1960s it was briefly converted into a live music venue where Lincoln Park natives the MC5 often played for next to nothing to large crowds. Sometime in the early 1980s, it became an adult movie theater that operated (much to the displeasure of many Lincoln Park residents) for nearly 30 years.

When the theater closed in 2008, the owners (who wanted to develop the building as a part of a multi-million-dollar strip club operation), donated the Park as part of a settlement agreement. The Park has since been converted into high-end lofts and retail space. However, before it was restored, the once opulent theater fell victim to decay and vandalism. The images that follow are perhaps not for the faint of heart, especially since the intrepid photographer used an infrared camera to pick up some of the “sticky mess” that was left behind after the Park closed its smutty doors. Hopefully he or she was up to date on their tetanus shot. That said, I still feel like it’s necessary to say that the photos you are about to see are NSFW.

5 Most Bizarre Rites Of Passage Rituals From Around The World

Fulani – Whipping Match

For the boys of the Fulani tribe of Benin to be considered men, they have to complete a ritual called sharo, which requires them to participate in a whip match meant to test their strength, self-control and bravery. 

The Fulani are a nomadic people from West Africa. As a test of bravery and an initiation into manhood, two young boys from neighboring tribes are pitted against one another in a violent whipping match.

With help from their fathers, each boy chooses and sharpens a long, thin, branch that they think will inflict the most pain on their opponent. The boys then take turns striking their opponent three times across the ribs and back as hard as they can. The whole tribe will gather to watch the battle, and the winner is chosen by the crowd. The “winner,” by the way, is the one who opens the deepest, bloodiest wounds on his opponent, and who flinches less when his own insides are being exposed to the elements.

 

 

The Sateré-Mawé Bullet Ant Initiation

In the Brazilian Amazon, young boys belonging to the indigenous Sateré-Mawé tribe mark their coming of age when they turn 13 in a Bullet and Ant Initiation. The tradition goes as so: they search the jungle for bullet ants which are sedated by a leader who submerges them in an herbal solution. The ants are then weaved into gloves with the stingers pointed inwards. An hour or so later, the ants wake up angrier than ever, and the initiation begins. Each boy has to wear the gloves for ten minutes.

Enduring the pain demonstrates the boys’ readiness for manhood — so few cry out as doing so would demonstrate weakness. Each boy will eventually wear the gloves 20 times over the span of several months before the initiation is complete.

 

 

Mardudjara Aborigines Subincision

When an Aborigine boy comes of age, usually around 15 or 16, the tribal elders will lead the boy to a fire and have him lie down next to it. Tribal members surround the boy while singing and dancing. Another group of men, called the Mourners, wail and cry while the circumcision is performed.

The tribal elder in charge of the circumcision sits on top of the boy’s chest facing his penis. He pulls up the foreskin and twists it so it can be cut off. Two men take turns cutting away the foreskin with knives that they’ve imbued with magical qualities. The boy bites down on a boomerang as the operation takes place.

When the circumcision is complete, the boy kneels on a shield that’s placed over the fire so the smoke can rise up and purify his wound.

While the boy sits there dazed and in pain, the tribal elders tell him to open his mouth and swallow some “good meat” without chewing it. The “good meat” is actually the boy’s freshly removed foreskin. After he’s swallowed a piece of his own wiener, the boy is told that he has eaten “his own boy” and that it will now grow inside him and make him strong.

Now comes the second part of the initiation- the sub-incision. A few months after the circumcision, the tribal elders take the young man again to a fire. An elder sits on the boy’s chest and takes ahold of the boy’s penis. Again, there are singers and men mourning at the ceremony. A small wooden rod is inserted into the urethra to act as a backing for the knife. The operator then takes a knife and makes a split on the underside of the penis from the frenulum (underneath the head of the penis) to near the scrotum.

After the sub-incision, the boy stands above the fire and allows his blood to drip into it. From now on the boy will have to squat when he urinates, just like a woman. In fact, some anthropologists posit that the sub-incision ceremony is done to simulate menstruation, allowing men to sympathize with the females of the tribe.

 

 

Maasai Warrior Passage

The Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania have a series of rites of passage that carry boys into manhood. Every 10 or 15 years a new warrior class will be initiated into the tribe. Boys between the ages of 10 and 20 are brought together from all across the country. Dozens of houses are built that will serve as the place of initiation. The night before the ceremony, the boys sleep outside in the forest. At dawn, they return to the little makeshift homestead for a day of singing and dancing.  They drink a mixture of milk, cow’s blood, and alcohol and eat piles and piles of meat. After the festivities, boys who are of age (12-16) are ready to be circumcised.

The Emuratare is the most important ceremony in the life of a Maasai boy. Once circumcised, the tribe will consider him a man, warrior, and protector of his village. As the young man makes his way to where the elders will circumcise him, friends and family members will taunt the boy by saying things like “If you flinch, we will disown you.” The Maasai value bravery in their warriors and the circumcision is a boy’s first way to prove his courage even in the face of severe pain. It takes about 3 months for the circumcision to heal and during that time the young men wear black clothing and live in huts built by the women of the villiage. The Maasai boy is now warrior.

For the next 10 years the young men live together in an Emanyatta, or warriors camp. There they learn fighting, oratory, and animal husbandry. After 10 years, the young men take part in the Eunoto ceremony that marks the transition from warrior to senior warrior. After a Maasai has passed through the Eunoto, he can marry. The ceremony is basically several days of festivals, which ends with the initiate’s mother shaving his hair.

In the small country of Papau New Guinea, over 1,000 different culture groups exist. Among them is the Sambia tribe, a group with perhaps the most insane rite of passage into manhood in the world.

The initiation begins at age seven with the separation of the boy from the mother. The boy will spend the rest of his young life only in the presence of men in an all male hut. The gender separation is taken to such extremes that boys and women use different walking paths around the village.

After being separated from the women, the young boy is subjected to several brutal hazing rituals. The first involves ceremonial bloodletting from the nose. The procedure is crude, but effective. The boy is held against a tree and stiff, sharp grasses and sticks are shoved up his nose until the blood starts flowing freely. Once the elders see blood, they let out a collective war cry. After the bloodletting, the boys undergo severe beatings and lashings. The purpose is to toughen up the boys and to prepare them to live as warriors.

As we’ve seen, ritual bloodletting is par for the course when it comes to male initiation. What sets the Sambia apart from other groups is the second part of their male rite of passage: semen drinking.

The Sambia believe that both men and women are born with a tingu. The tingu is a body part that allows for procreation. A woman’s tingu is ready for reproduction when she first menstruates. A man’s tingu is born shriveled and dried and the only way to fill it is to drink the “man milk,” or semen of other sexually mature men. They believe that by drinking the male essence of other men, the boys will become strong and virile. Done in the privacy of the forest, a boy will perform fellatio on young, usually unmarried men between the ages of 13 and 21. The boys are encouraged to “drink the male essence” as much as possible in order to become strong.

Around age 13, a young man has started puberty and another stage in the initiation begins. Another ritual nosebleed takes place along with some beatings to purify the young man. The boy is now considered a bachelor and will now provide the “man milk” to young boys just starting down the path of manhood.

Around age 20, a Sambia man is ready to marry, but before the nuptials take place, the tribal elders teach the young man the secrets to protect himself from the impurities of women. For example, when having intercourse, a man should stuff mint leaves in his nostril and chew on bark in order to mask the smell of his wife’s genitals. Moreover, when a man has sex with his wife, penetration shouldn’t be too deep as this will only increase the chances becoming polluted. Finally, after intercourse, a Sambia man must go bathe in mud in order to wash away any impurities he may have contracted from his wife. Even after marriage, a young Sambia man doesn’t spend very much time with his wife, but instead continues passing the time with the other men

The final rite of passage in the life of Sambian man is fatherhood. After his wife gives birth, a Sambia man is considered to have the full rights of masculinity.

North Korean Smartphone

During a visit to North Korea, we ask our minder if we can check out her smartphone. It turns out, the phone is running on Android 4.2 (Jellybean). It even has a Google Drive app icon (which got us all excited), until we discovered that they just ripped off the icon for a completely different Screensaver Themes app.
