The Church of England not only forgave almost 400 pedophiles , it also allowed them to continue working with children a shocking new inquiry has found .
Between 1940 and 2018 , 390 people employed by the church , either as clergymen or in trusted positions , were convicted of child sex abuse according to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse ( IICSA ) which was published on Tuesday .

“ The culture of the Church of England facilitated it becoming a place where abusers could hide , ” the report reads .
The inquiry found the church repeatedly failed to respond in a consistent manner to victims and survivors of abuse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of decades .
In 2018 alone , there were some 2,504 concerns raised about possible abuse of children or vulnerable adults , including 449 allegations of recent sexual abuse .
Over many decades , the Church of England failed to protect children and young people from sexual abusers , instead facilitating a culture where perpetrators could hide and victims faced barriers to disclosure that many could not overcome , ” chair of the inquiry , professor Alexis Jay said .
The IICSA lambasted the church for regarding forgiveness “ as the appropriate response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such case highlighted is that of Timothy Storey , a man who was permitted to continue working with children after apologising “ for everything he had done wrong.
” Storey is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence for multiple offences against young girls , including rape .
As part of the findings announced Tuesday in the damning report , the panel found that record-keeping of abuse claims was “ almost non-existent.
” The panel decried the church ’ s willingness to pervert the course of legal justice by meting out its own ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being held responsible for their crimes and prevented from re-offending .
The church was also blasted for its handling of the reverend Ian hughes scandal , in which he was convicted in 2014 of downloading 8,000 child porn images , including 800 in the most serious category .

newspunch--2020-10-07--Bill Gates Warns That US Must Find Ways To ‘Reduce Vaccine Hesitancy’

Bill Gates has warned that the US must prepare itself now to eradicate any public reluctance over taking a coronavirus vaccine .
The Billionaire philanthropist is urging the US to prepare for the new vaccine rollout by deputizing trusted community leaders to “ reduce vaccine hesitancy ” In an interview with the Wall Street Journal ’ s CEO Council on Tuesday , the Microsoft founder bemoaned the rapid spread of online “ conspiracy theories ” and provided an example of challenges faced in some countries with the polio vaccine and the cunning lengths needed to go to get the people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vaccine rollout will get the “ rich countries ” back to close to normal by the end of 2021 .
RT reports : However , with less than half of Americans saying they ’ d get a Covid jab – even if paid $ 100 for it – in a recent survey , Gates then focused his talk on enlisting the nation ’ s “ trust network ” to overcome the skeptics .
Lamenting that “ vaccine hesitancy is in all countries and predates the pandemic , ” Gates suggested American health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will help reduce the hesitancy , so we can get a level of vaccination that really has a chance of stopping ” the virus .
Gates provided the example of challenges the polio vaccine faced in some countries – and the cunning lengths some were willing to go to get their populations jabbed .
“ In places like Nigeria we had to go to the religious leaders , talk to them , have them speak out , you know , vaccinate their children .
So [ it is about ] understanding the trust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ view as an expert .
Very few people can look at the formulation or data directly.
“ Coronavirus czar Anthony Fauci hinted back in June that he was already on the task , revealing the government had a PR blitz planned in which “ people [ vaccine-hesitant Americans ] can relate to in the community – sports figures , community heroes , people that they look up to ” – will spread the pro-vaccine gospel .
Gates had typically harsh words for both conspiracy theorists and the social media platforms he believes enable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things ” like the notion that “ somebody intentionally made this virus , or that there ’ s some conspiracy ” spread online “ so much faster than the truth , which is that it comes from a bat.
” Gates called on social media to “ slow down or annotate things that actually cause huge damage , like not wearing masks or not being willing to take the vaccine if it proves that it is this key tool to getting back to normal.
” While he stressed he wasn ’ t suggesting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Chinese solution ” of telling companies what they must censor , the billionaire has previously called conspiracy theories about his funding of global vaccination schemes “ a big problem , ” and on Tuesday he slammed platforms for the absence of “ smart solutions ” to that problem .
Gates saved some barbs for the Trump administration , disparaging the government ’ s preparation for and response to the pandemic , accusing it of creating a “ vacuum of leadership ” by pulling out of the World Health Organization .
Among other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do [ pandemic ] simulations ” like some countries , he complained , referencing his now-famous 2015 TED Talk about the importance of comprehensive state-level planning for epidemics .
However , his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation actually staged one of the best-known pandemic simulations , Event 201 , in conjunction with the World Economic Forum and Johns Hopkins University in New York last October .
The barely-fictional scenario involved a deadly coronavirus originating in geese spreading around the world , devastating economies and triggering the imposition of strict behavioral controls while leaving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its wake .
The narrative was so close to the subsequent outbreak of the novel coronavirus that Johns Hopkins was forced to include a disclaimer on the event website .
Indeed , the US government has run several such simulations in conjunction with representatives of local governments , hospitals , and various other private sector interests over the years .
“ Crimson Contagion , ” one such exercise held from January to August last year , predicted the US would respond in a chaotic and disorganized fashion to an outbreak , exposing weaknesses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Covid-19 .
A 2017 Pentagon report similarly warned that a “ novel respiratory disease ” emanating from , among other places , a Chinese wet market could spread throughout the world , hurting the military ’ s readiness and national security for as long as two years and prescribing correctives – which apparently fell on deaf ears .
Gates has previously warned that the “ final hurdle ” to a vaccine-fueled return to normalcy is convincing the population to actually roll up their sleeves and take the jab ( s ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which his foundation is the single largest funder , following the US ’ departure – declared “ vaccine hesitancy ” one of the biggest threats to world health last year .
The billionaire has stated he hopes to have seven billion humans vaccinated with whatever formula proves safe and effective , but has suggested a mandate would be counterproductive and actually increase resistance to vaccines .
Gates is far from the only voice urging governments to soft-pedal their inoculation demands .
Noting that a straight-up mandate would probably be challenged and nullified in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ month in the New England Journal of Medicine instead suggested at-risk populations be threatened with “ penalties ” like job loss for failure to get vaccinated .

Trump Authorizes Total Declassification Of All Documents Related To Russiagate & Clinton Email Scandal

President Trump says he has authorized the release of ‘ any and all ’ documents related to the Russiagate conspiracy and Hillary Clinton ’ s private email server .
In a tweet on Tuesday night , Trump said “ I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any and all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History , the Russia Hoax .
Likewise , the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal .
No redactions !
” RT reports : Trump followed up his first post with another missive stating he had declassified all information on Russiagate “ long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personnel have “ acted very slowly ” to release new material .
The announcement came hours after Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe authorized the release of a number of documents linked to the Trump-Russia scandal , including hand-written notes from former CIA director John Brennan , who served during the latter half of the Barack Obama administration .
The declassified notes suggest that Brennan had briefed Obama on a “ plan ” by then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to smear Trump with allegations of ‘ Russian collusion ’ as a means of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a private email server ” before the 2016 election .
Ratcliffe originally declassified the notes – as well as a 2016 CIA memo addressed to then-FBI director James Comey and a Russian intelligence assessment obtained by US agencies – in late September .
All three documents were mentioned by Ratcliffe in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham ( R-South Carolina ) , and indicated that Clinton worked to fabricate the Russiagate scandal in order to vilify her electoral rival and deflect negative media coverage .
None of them were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time .
Though Ratcliffe initially cautioned that the Russian assessment – which was declassified but not published – “ may reflect exaggeration or fabrication , ” he has clarified that US intelligence does not consider the material “ disinformation.
” The CIA memo , also released on Tuesday , meanwhile , reflects similar information to Brennan ’ s notes , discussing Clinton ’ s “ approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections ” as a way to distract from the private email server scandal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign at the time .
Clinton ’ s spokesman , Nick Merrill , has deemed all of the allegations contained in the documents “ baseless bulls**t. ” The new release on Tuesday comes on the heels of a number of similar publications , such as a trove of documents unsealed last month revealing FBI agents on the Trump-Russia probe had purchased professional liability insurance amid fears the investigation ran afoul of the law , which Trump has touted as proof of an attempted “ coup ” against him .
Allegations of Trump-Russia collusion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the Clinton team advancing the theory that the president-to-be worked with Moscow to throw the election , coordinating a series of hacks on Democratic computers and Clinton campaign staff while Russian operatives spread disinformation with online “ troll farms.
” A special counsel probe led by US Attorney Robert Mueller failed to turn up any evidence of collusion , however , resulting in no indictments directly linked to the conspiracy .

The new release on Tuesday comes on the heels of a number of similar publications, such as a trove of documents unsealed last month revealing FBI agents on the Trump-Russia probe had purchased professional liability insurance amid fears the investigation ran afoul of the law, which Trump has touted as proof of an attempted “coup” against him.
Allegations of Trump-Russia collusion emerged before the 2016 race concluded, with the Clinton team advancing the theory that the president-to-be worked with Moscow to throw the election, coordinating a series of hacks on Democratic computers and Clinton campaign staff while Russian operatives spread disinformation with online “troll farms.” A special counsel probe led by US Attorney Robert Mueller failed to turn up any evidence of collusion, however, resulting in no indictments directly linked to the conspiracy.

newspunch--2020-10-07--Furious School Teacher Caught Raging At Student For Naming POTUS as Person He Admires

A Tacoma , Washington middle school teacher was caught on camera taking great offense when one of his students dared to name President Donald Trump as a person he admires .
The thing is , Perry G. Keithley Middle School sixth grade teacher Brendan Stanton ( below ) asked his virtual class this very question — “ who is the one person you admire and why ?
” According to MyNorthwest.com , the male student answered : I admire Donald J. Trump because he is making America great again .
And because he is the best president the United States @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And he built the wall so terrorists couldn ’ t come into in the U. S. Trump is the best person in the world .
And that ’ s why I had admire him .
The boy ’ s mother , Elsy Kusander , entered the room to hear Stanton “ berating the president ” so she began recording what was being said on her phone .
Stanton was so angry , apparently , he would not even say his president ’ s name .
“ The example that was shared in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and erased for us , was not appropriate right ?
” Stanton told his class .
“ Especially as that individual has created so much division and hatred between people and specifically spoken hatred to many different individuals , ok ?
“ Again , that individual has spoken hate to many individuals and I don ’ t think is an appropriate example for a role model that we should be admiring.
” TheCollegeFix reports : When Kusander contacted Stanton to discuss the matter , she didn ’ t immediately make him aware she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ using President Trump wasn ’ t an appropriate answer because the question before the class was about “ a computer programmer they admired ” ( Stanton teaches technology education ) .
Students could name “ someone from the community ” if they couldn ’ t think of a programmer .
Although Keithley Middle School online classes typically “ are recorded and posted to the online portal for students and their parents , ” Stanton claimed he deleted the “ admired person ” question due to student privacy concerns .
He also pointed out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offended another student in the class , not him .
“ I do try to keep politics out of the classroom… because students have different opinions , right ?
” Stanton told Kusander .
Kusander then revealed she had witnessed what transpired : “ I came into the room , and you were talking , I got my phone and I recorded part of your conversation , ” she revealed before doubling down .
“ I clearly saw and recorded what you were saying… ” Suddenly , the apolitical Stanton who would never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , was a little more honest about what transpired .
“ I do apologize if my words were not perfect at the time , ” he told her .
“ If I used… if I said that Trump was ‘ hateful and divisive , ’ that may have been what I used at the time , but my purpose was in bringing us back to the conversation of computer scientists and the positive role that they ’ ve played in our history.
” He again offered to apologize to her son .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And his opinion .
I am always interested in student feedback and also parent feedback as well .
So I appreciate you having this conversation with me , ” Stanton said .

A Tacoma, Washington middle school teacher was caught on camera taking great offense when one of his students dared to name President Donald Trump as a person he admires.
The thing is, Perry G. Keithley Middle School sixth grade teacher Brendan Stanton (below) asked his virtual class this very question — “who is the one person you admire and why?”

According to MyNorthwest.com, the male student answered:
I admire Donald J. Trump because he is making America great again. And because he is the best president the United States of America could ever, ever have. And he built the wall so terrorists couldn’t come into in the U. S. Trump is the best person in the world. And that’s why I had admire him.
The boy’s mother, Elsy Kusander, entered the room to hear Stanton “berating the president” so she began recording what was being said on her phone.
Stanton was so angry, apparently, he would not even say his president’s name.
“The example that was shared in the chat, which I went ahead and erased for us, was not appropriate right?” Stanton told his class. “Especially as that individual has created so much division and hatred between people and specifically spoken hatred to many different individuals, ok?
“Again, that individual has spoken hate to many individuals and I don’t think is an appropriate example for a role model that we should be admiring.”
TheCollegeFix reports: When Kusander contacted Stanton to discuss the matter, she didn’t immediately make him aware she had made a recording. Stanton claimed using President Trump wasn’t an appropriate answer because the question before the class was about “a computer programmer they admired” (Stanton teaches technology education). Students could name “someone from the community” if they couldn’t think of a programmer.
Although Keithley Middle School online classes typically “are recorded and posted to the online portal for students and their parents,” Stanton claimed he deleted the “admired person” question due to student privacy concerns. He also pointed out Kusander’s son’s answer offended another student in the class, not him.
“I do try to keep politics out of the classroom… because students have different opinions, right?” Stanton told Kusander.
Kusander then revealed she had witnessed what transpired:
Stanton’s story then started to change. “I came into the room, and you were talking, I got my phone and I recorded part of your conversation,” she revealed before doubling down. “I clearly saw and recorded what you were saying…” Suddenly, the apolitical Stanton who would never bring his political opinion into the classroom, was a little more honest about what transpired. “I do apologize if my words were not perfect at the time,” he told her. “If I used… if I said that Trump was ‘hateful and divisive,’ that may have been what I used at the time, but my purpose was in bringing us back to the conversation of computer scientists and the positive role that they’ve played in our history.” He again offered to apologize to her son. “I totally respect him as an individual. And his opinion. I am always interested in student feedback and also parent feedback as well. So I appreciate you having this conversation with me,” Stanton said.
Ms. Kusander shared her concerns with KTTH’s Jason Rantz Show.

Winfret made the remarks during an episode of her Apple TV series, Oprah’s Book Club while interviewing Isabel Wilkerson, author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.
The book alleges that the Unites States’ “social structure” is “an unrecognized caste system” based on race.
Breitbart reports: Wilkerson, an alumnus of the New York Times, characterized Caste as an analysis of what she describes as a race-based American “caste system.”
“How did you decide to focus the book on three cast systems, India, Nazi Germany, and the United States? I think a lot of people get riled up and offended that you’re comparing the caste system here to Nazi Germany, yet we discover that we were the template for Nazi Germany,” Winfrey said.
Adolf Hitler drew inspiration from American eugenicists in formulating the Nuremberg laws, noted Wilkerson and Winfrey. Neither acknowledged Margaret Sanger’s prominence in America’s eugenicist movement.
America’s racial “caste system,” Winfrey alleged, includes “systemic racism” and “microaggressions.”
Wilkerson explained the rationale behind her deliberate omission of the terms “racism” and “racist” in her writings, describing the terms as broadly ineffective and overused literary tools of persuasion in the context of her political polemics:
In the stories that I did for the New York Times, I didn’t use the word. In The Warmth of Other Suns, word does not appear. I pointedly stand here, sit here, stating that I don’t use the word and it’s for a reason. I think that it’s a word that is often misunderstood. It’s a word that has many different meanings to different people, even though social scientists have a singular definition for it, which would be prejudice plus the power to enforce that prejudice institutionally. I don’t use the word because I think that we stop hearing what it means when we’ve heard something for so long, and which can be misinterpreted by so many different people. I believe that [Caste] is a focus on the infrastructure of our divisions. It’s a focus in on what lies beneath, what we think we see, and it focuses us on the structure of a thing and that allows us to see how race has essentially been the cue and the signifier of where a person fits in that hierarchy.
Oprah Winfrey also falsely accused President Donald Trump of praising white nationalists in Charlottesville as “very fine people,” echoing the falsehood upon which Joe Biden’s latest presidential campaign was launched.
All episodes of The Oprah Conversation, Winfrey’s second eponymous series on Apple TV, have focused on racial politics. And the billionaire media mogul isn’t showing signs of letting up on this kind of political fare.
“Whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter what,” declared Winfrey in the first episode of The Oprah Conversation. She described “white privilege” as a social force affording advantages to whites at the expense of blacks. She later warned how “whiteness” can be used “as a weapon.”
