In 2009, a “clumsy and jovial” Santa Claus robbed a bank in order to “pay his elves”
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – An armed suspect dressed as Santa Claus robbed a local bank Tuesday morning and told tellers he was doing so to “pay his elves.”
At 10 a.m., police said the man, dressed in a full Santa Claus costume complete with a hat, beard and sack over his shoulder, entered the Sun Trust Bank branch located at 4809 Old Hickory Boulevard in Hermitage, just north of Lebanon Pike, and approached a teller.
According to witnesses, Santa was wearing sunglasses and the teller asked him to remove them.
The suspect refused, reached into his sack and pulled out a gun.
He demanded money and told tellers if they put dye bombs with the money he’d come back “kill everyone.”
He took the money and fled, telling employees and customers in the bank he needed the money because “Santa needed to pay his elves.”
According to witnesses, the suspect was clumsy and seemed jovial.
This poor drunken Santa is caught on camera peeing:
This drunk Santa scaresd kids while looking for his reindeer but fortunately they were able to reason it wasn’t the real Santa because he was loud and had dirty hands.
Finally, this Santa chose to get behind the wheel. This was actually part of a sober driving campaign in 2008.
Encourage good behaviour this Christmas from your little ones!
Elfie is watching and reporting to Santa good or bad behaviour!
Features a red flashing light that makes it all that more real.
Sure to keep the children in line.
REVIEWS AND COMMENTS/AMAZON:
I bought this for a child that was anxious, and felt that he was being watched all the time. Now he can relax because his feeling of being watched is justified. Thanks!
This is horrifying. Children don’t need to feel like a literal camera is watching them. There’s no way this is a good product.
I thought – how can I teach my kids to get comfortable with mass surveillance and an oppressive police state
I bought this because Elf on a Shelf was not creepy enough. I thought – how can I teach my kids to get comfortable with mass surveillance and an oppressive police state? With this camera!
Denying children privacy — even if it’s fake — is abusive. Please don’t raise your children to think living under constant surveillance is OK.
Nothing teaches your children that ‘Big Brother is Watching’ quite like the Elf Dummy Surveillance Camera! For those wishing to desensitized their children to being on camera regardless of their state of dress, awareness or activity, this is the product for you!
Don’t buy this. What the heck is wrong with you? Seriously. This is sad and insane.
Having heard stories from peers who were denied privacy by their parents growing up, this is a horrifying product. Please don’t buy it just as a joke.
Fairly convincing. Though I recommend picking up a few towels and a garden hose to complete the illusion.
In 2009, ABC News confirmed a story circulating in the news that someone in the Mormon Church has posthumously baptized then Senator Obama’s mother as the presidential election approached.
Today, the website Mormon Leaks issued a press release stating that President Donald Trump’s parents and grandparents have shown up in posthumous temple records:
MormonLeaks™ Releases the Posthumous Temple Records for the Parents and Grandparents of Donald J. Trump
The Mormon Church believes everyone will have the chance to accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ whether on earth or in the after life. They also believe in order to make it to the highest level of heaven after accepting the Gospel, one must receive certain ordinances such as baptism, Mormon temple sealing, etc. These are administered to the dead posthumously in Mormon temples throughout the world on a persistent basis. Mormons believe that the dead will have the opportunity to accept or reject said ordinances after they have been performed and believe they need to be performed for everyone. More information around these beliefs can be found here.
MormonLeaks™ has released the ordinance records for Donald J. Trump’s parents, Frederick Christ Trump and Mary Ann MacLeod, and grandparents, Friedrich Trump and Elisabeth Marie Christ.
These records are only available to members of the Mormon Church whose name is still active on the records of the Church. For reference and verification, links have been provided with each record.
Frederick Christ Trump
All ordinances for Frederick Christ Trump are listed as “Not Available”. According to a FamilySearch help article — only available to Mormons, screenshot here — this could be for a number of reasons. However, according to MormonLeaks™ sources the records of the relatives of well known public figures are often not made available for privacy reasons.
All ordinances for Mary Ann MacLeod are listed as “Not Available”. According to a FamilySearch help article — only available to Mormons, screenshot here— this could be for a number of reasons. However, according to MormonLeaks™ sources the records of the relatives of well known public figures are often not made available for privacy reasons.
Environmental Assessment for Proposed Outdoor Testing at Chilocco
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate announced a collaborative scientific study with OSU-University Multispectral Laboratories, L.L.C. (UML) that will include low level outdoor release of inert chemical and biological simulant materials at the Chilocco (former) Indian School Campus outside of Newkirk, OK, during winter 2018 and again in summer 2018.

The purpose of this study is to gather data that enhances our predictive capabilities in the event of a biological agent attack.
Specifically, this work will help in predicting the extent to which an intentional release of a biological agent may penetrate single family and multi-family structures.
These tests will release inert chemicals and biological materials that will be used to measure the amount of material that penetrates the buildings under varied conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS on the proposed studies to be performed under the Hazards of Dynamic Outdoor Releases Project
Why are they doing these tests?
A strategic goal of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is to prevent, detect, protect, and recover from biological attacks. Characterizing the impact of biological weapons on infrastructure is a key element to achieving this goal. Current models are based on penetration of natural particulate matter (largely road dust, pollen, and exhaust), which is not representative of scenarios in which a terrorist might release a biological agent. To address this gap, the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) will conduct an outdoor release of inert chemicals and biological materials in order to estimate the fraction of spores that penetrates into buildings representative of both a typical single and multi-family residence to support consequence and risk assessment modeling.
This testing seeks to enhance resiliency and preparedness of the nation by increasing our ability to predict the extent to which an intentional release of a biological agent may penetrate single family and multi-family structures. The results from this testing effort will further inform and advance preparedness for bioterrorism events in critical infrastructure for future response and recovery planning decisions and actions by local, state, and federal emergency managers.

What is being released?
Testing will be conducted through the release of (2) different non-hazardous, nontoxic, and non-reactive powders and a harmless biological particulate. These materials are meant to simulate the behavior of harmful biological materials as they move from the outdoors into buildings.
These are:
Inert Particle 1 is titanium dioxide (TiO2), a white odorless, non-hazardous, non-flammable, and non-reactive powder that does not dissolve in water. Titanium dioxide is commonly used in paints, food, cosmetics, and insecticides. As an example, sunscreens containing titanium dioxide are recommended by medical experts to effectively block certain harmful UV rays. (https://www.webmd.com/beauty/features/whats-best-sunscreen#1)
Titanium dioxide is not regulated or defined as a toxic or hazardous material.
Inert Particle 2 is a 90:10% mixture of urea powder with CL Fluorescent Brightener 220. Urea is the main chemical found in human and mammalian urine and is used worldwide as a fertilizer. CL Fluorescent Brightener 220 is a non-hazardous optical brighter found in toothpastes and laundry detergents to make whites appear brighter.
The Biological Particulate will be a preparation of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp kurstaki (Btk) spores that have been “barcoded.” Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki is a microbe found on plants and in soils everywhere, is nonhazardous to humans, and used widely by farmers nationally to kill specific crop destroying insects, particularly those employing organic gardening practices. These spores can be purchased for home-use at stores selling gardening supplies, and are considered safer than traditional chemical pesticides. The “barcode” in these materials will allow DHS and our performer to conclusively identify the material we use from any that might occur naturally or be used by a farmer on nearby fields. This material simulates the kind of material that might be used in a bioterrorist attack on U.S. citizens.

Are these materials safe?
Yes.
The particles are colorless, odorless and non-toxic materials. They have been used in numerous other studies both indoors and outdoors to assess airflow and contaminant spread. The direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects caused by the potential exposure of terrestrial wildlife, vegetation, water resources, and air quality by movement of the material by any of the particulates will not have an adverse effect. This is due to both selection of the test materials and limited quantity that will be used.
Native Btk, sold under the commercial name of Dipel, is used extensively as a bioinsecticide and is not considered a hazard by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The barcoded variant provides much more specific detection and identification from background than the native organism, as it contains a barcode that does not affect any physiological function or phenotypic expression of the organism. It will be dispersed in a similar manner to that of native Btk when used as an insecticide. However, release will be at much lower concentrations than typical insecticidal application rates. The use of the barcoded Btk has been approved for use in this program by the State of Oklahoma’s Department of Agriculture, Food, & Forestry.
If these materials being used in testing are safe, why are the workers wearing goggles, gloves, masks, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) during testing?
These standard precautions are recommended by OSHA for all individuals who are working in conditions that may result in exposure to particulates, as such exposure could cause irritation of the eyes or skin. Examples include painters, individuals who may be sanding drywall or painted surfaces, or farmers or other professionals applying fertilizers and pesticides.
Despite the extremely low hazards posed by the materials we propose to test, the individuals who will conduct the actual release will be required to work with the materials in their most concentrated form. They are therefore at the highest risk of an accident such as splashing into the eyes, or being irritated by exposure to the particulate sprays. These are also standard safety recommendations found on the labels of similar commercial products.
Why are these tests being performed at Chilocco?
The Chilocco campus and surrounding land is under the ownership of the Council of Confederated Chilocco Tribes (CCCT) which include the Kaw Nation, the OtoeMissouria Tribe, the Pawnee Nation, the Ponca Nation, and the Tonkawa Tribe.
DHS S&T and OSU-University Multispectral Laboratories L.L.C. (UML) have been in communication with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and CCCT and have determined that the implementation of the preferred alternatives has no adverse impact on resources, human health or the environment.
The buildings on the Chilocco campus used in this program include characteristics that are representative of residential and apartment buildings within the United States. Additional characteristics desired for test buildings include:
Minimal proximity to the public
Unoccupied from daily use
Have release positions in the predominant wind direction
No obstructions within 20 meters of the building
Centrally located to campus to ensure plume dissipation below permissible exposure limits prior to migration off campus.
Access to the site will be restricted to UML, Government staff, and contractors supporting this study.
Why did you choose to do these in a populated area of Newkirk, OK?
DHS chose the performer, OSU-University Multispectral Laboratories, over other performers and other locations on the strength of their proposal to conduct testing desired by DHS. DHS has conducted similar activities in major metropolitan areas for the same purpose of understanding how we can best protect U.S. citizens and ensure the resiliency of our communities to respond to acts of WMD terrorism.
Who is paying for these tests?
These tests are sponsored by DHS S&T, in collaboration with the EPA.
When and where will these releases occur?
The release activities would take place at the abandoned Chilocco campus in rural Oklahoma during February 2018 and then again during June/July, 2018. This site is closed to the general public under an exclusive use agreement between the site’s tribal owners, the CCCT, and UML.
Particulate release at the site is designed to mimic that of an actual biological release and will be bound by strict conditions. These release conditions were developed to ensure that the aerosol cloud generated, with both inert and biological simulants, would provide a measurable signature that would then rapidly decrease below the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible exposure limits (PEL) values before reaching the property boundary, thereby these releases would pose no risk to public and minimal risk to the surrounding environment.
Was this study evaluated under the National Environmental Policy Act?
It will be. The Environmental Assessment that has been published by DHS, and available for review at https://www.dhs.gov/national-environmental-policy-act, is part of the process to comply with requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. Assuming that after public comment, a finding of no significant impact is found, the proposed tests will have complied with the requirements of the law.
Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., the Department has completed a Draft EA to identify any potential environmental impacts associated with the use of these test materials. DHS invites comments on the Draft EA during the 30-day comment period beginning on November 8, 2017. You may submit comments using only one of the following methods:
S&T CBD Mail Stop 0201
245 Murray Ln SW
Washington, DC 20528-0201
When submitting comments, please include your name and address, and identify the comments as regarding the Outdoor Testing at Chilocco. To ensure consideration, comments must be received by December 8, 2017. Once the final environmental and decision documents are complete, they will also be posted on this site.

In 2011, the “We’re a Culture, Not a Costume” was launched at Ohio University. The campaign shared examples of stereotyping and has been promoted by other universities hoping to remind students to use caution and sensitivity when choosing this year’s Halloween attire.
Here are a few serious examples of what not to wear this Halloween:
Oklahoma County Jail Nurse Linda Herlong Jackson, an employee of Armor Correctional Health Services, faces allegations she attempted to perform on exorcism on a thrashing inmate in need of medical care. The inmate died the next day due to a methamphetamine induced heart event.
The death occurred in February of 2017, and the nurse was suspended from duties pending a full investigation. The allegations have now been turned over to the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office to determine if charges are to be filed.
Nurse Jackson denies allegations that she asked if anyone minded if she attempted to perform an exorcism. Detention officers at the jail reported hearing her exclaim, “I revoke you demons.”
STATEMENT COURTESY MANA ONLINE/THE MALAWI NEWS AGENCY
BELOW IS A STATEMENT FROM THE MINISTER OF INDUSTRY, TRADE AND TOURISM (Henry Mussa) ON THE SAME:
I wish to join my fellow Cabinet Ministers in condemning the recent acts of mob justice on fellow Malawians and the touring Belgian couple, who have been obviously mistaken as blood suckers in Mulanje, Phalombe Districts, and surrounding areas.
Stories of blood sucking in Malawi are mere rumours which have been making rounds from sometime back and should not be believed. From what I know, It takes a lot of technical expertise and skills to extract blood from a human being, including using suitable equipment and locating the blood nerves in the body, something that cannot be done just in a flash.
The prevailing vampire paranoia situation in Mulanje and surrounding areas has the potential to derail our efforts in promoting our country as a tourism destination but also as preferred destination for foreign and direct investment. No tourist or investor would like to come to a country whose citizens are attacking others due to such misguided beliefs. I would like therefore to ask and warn all those involved to stop this malpractice immediately since this practice is tarnishing the image of our beautiful country.
At this stage allow me to apologise to the Belgian couple, who were attacked at Madzeka near Lujeri Tea Estate in the early hours of 15th September, 2017, after being mistaken as the so called “blood suckers”. The Belgian couple were actually Self-Drive tourists who had been attracted to hike on our Mulanje Mountain and had been travelling from South Africa to Cairo in their 4×4 vehicle. The couple was badly injured in the brutal attack and their vehicle was also smashed. This is a very unfortunate and we sincerely apologise for the unfortunate incident.
Lastly, I am aware that the tourism players in Mulanje is very unsettled due to these disturbing stories. I would like to assure the tourism and travel industry in Mulanje, and the country in general that the Government of Malawi will step up a number of interventions to eradicate the unfounded fears of blood suckers in the District. These will include increased Police presence in the area, increased awareness on blood sucking myth, and increased security in areas that are visited by tourists.
All these interventions will be carried out by various Government Ministries and Departments such as Home Affairs, Information, Civic Education and of course traditional leaders in the areas affected.
ALLEGATIONS OF BLOOD SUCKING IN SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
President Peter Mutharika: Values every life of every Malawian as very precious
While His Excellency President Arthur Peter Mutharika was attending the 72nd United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York recently, he received reports of very distressing and agonizing allegations of blood sucking incidents in some parts of the country.
The President also received reports of very disturbing instances of mob justice carried on persons suspected to be connected to the alleged blood sucking incidents.
Understandably, due to these unfortunate incidents, most people have not been at peace in their communities and homes. This development has been of grave concern to The President and the entire Government.
The President has been even more deeply touched that some people have been killed for being suspected to be among the supposed perpetrators of the feared blood sucking incidents.
His Excellency President Mutharika values every life of every Malawian as very precious.
As soon as The President started receiving these reports, he directed the police to mobilise in every concerned community in order to ensure that there is enhanced security. The President also sent Cabinet Ministers, traditional leaders and requested religious leaders to reach out to the communities with sensitisation and prayers. Above all, the Government has put in place mechanisms and instituted an intensive investigation for us to get to the bottom of the matter.
Over the past week since The President returned, he has listened to the fears of the people as he met different levels of leaders who have been to the communities.
The President would like to ask the public to keep calm as the Government works to get to the bottom of the matter. The President also appeals to all concerned to remember to love one another and desist from taking the law in their hands whenever they are dealing with a suspect.
The President will personally visit the communities that have been affected. On Friday, 13thOctober, The President will visit the people of Mulanje. On Monday, 16th October, The President will visit the people of Phalombe. On Tuesday, 17th October, The President will visit the people of Chiradzulu.
The President urges all to remain united and continue believing that God did not give us the spirit of fear but the spirit of courage to stay focused in developing our country.
JOSEPH MALDONADO-PASSAGE, also known as Joseph Allen Maldonado, Joseph Allen Schreibvogel, and “Joe Exotic,” 55, formerly of Wynnewood, Oklahoma, has been convicted in a 21-count superseding indictment that includes the two previously charged murder-for-hire counts and also alleged nineteen wildlife crimes, including the alleged killing of five tigers and the illegal sale of tiger cubs, in violation of the Endangered Species Act and Lacey Act.

Grand Jury Indicts “Joe Exotic” for Murder-For-Hire
OKLAHOMA CITY – JOSEPH MALDONADO-PASSAGE, also known as Joseph Allen Maldonado, Joseph Allen Schreibvogel, and “Joe Exotic,” 55, formerly of Wynnewood, Oklahoma, has been indicted on two counts of hiring a person to commit murder.
On September 5, 2018, a federal grand jury returned an indictment that accuses Maldonado-Passage of hiring an unnamed person in November 2017 to murder “Jane Doe” in Florida. According to the indictment, Maldonado-Passage gave the unnamed person $3,000 to travel from Oklahoma to South Carolina and then to Florida to carry out the murder. He allegedly agreed to pay thousands more after the deed. The indictment alleges Maldonado-Passage caused the person to travel to Dallas to get fake identification for use in the plot. According to the indictment, the person traveled from Oklahoma to South Carolina on November 26, 2017.
In a second count, the indictment alleges that beginning in July 2016, Maldonado-Passage repeatedly asked a different unnamed person to find someone to murder Jane Doe in exchange for money. The second person put Maldonado-Passage in contact with an undercover FBI agent. Maldonado-Passage met with the undercover agent on December 8, 2017, to discuss details of murdering Jane Doe.
Jane Doe did not suffer any physical harm.
The U.S. Marshals Service arrested Maldonado-Passage today in Gulf Breeze, Florida. He will make his initial appearance before a U.S. Magistrate Judge today in the Pensacola Division of the Northern District of Florida, followed by further proceedings in the Western District of Oklahoma.
If Maldonado-Passage is found guilty of murder-for-hire, he could be imprisoned on each count up to ten years. He would also be subject to up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000 per count.
This case is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement and the FBI, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Amanda Green and Charles W. Brown are prosecuting the case.
Joe Exotic’s 2016 Bid for President of the United States includes this video in which he promises he will not cut his hair nor change the way he dresses. Joe Exotic explains he is gay, legally married, has tried drugs and a little kinky sex, and is “broke as sh*t.”
