Can Orange County attorneys Sneak an alleged foreign child molester into U.S?
By Ruth Hull
Have the feds learned anything since 9/11? Can they stop foreign child molesters from entering the country to grab and silence American kids? Can young Americans kids disappear for sexual human trafficking purposes with government acquiescence?
Orange, CA, May 13, 2014: In the Lamoreaux Courthouse in Orange County, CA, attorneys acting on behalf an alleged child molester were openly discussing details of sneaking a Thai/Pakistani citizen into the United States past the police and feds. The Lamorequx Injustice Center is where abuse victims and sexually abused children are subjected to years of nightmares.
What was the purpose? A judge is requiring the man to come to a hearing on June 27, 2014, before the judge will allow the man to move his nine-year-old daughter (against the daughter’s and her mother’s wishes) out of the country. Police records reveal that the child told the police the father sexually abused her many times. Required reporting personnel saw the girl bleeding from a certain private part of her body after the father had obtained custody of the daughter but before he left the country.
Mahatep Srikureja is reportedly being denied re-admission to the United States because of concerns of the Department of Homeland Security. In Orange County, there is a $50,000 bench warrant in place on the man. According to police records, the Tustin Police asked the Orange County District Attorney to prosecute the man on numerous counts of sexual abuse (including oral and anal sex with the minor) . According to further police records, the Tustin Police wanted to have the father's computer searched for large numbers of child pornographic photographs prior to the man’s departure from the United States. A week ago in court, the sitting judge in the case stated that each of these charges, if prosecuted, would carry a possible life sentence for the man.
Though Mahatep Srikureja is currently reportedly in Canada, there is a possibility he will be deported to a different country where sex with minors is legal and where the little girl can disappear.
The mother, an upstanding professional, is seeking to find out from her daughter if the girl is OK. The girl is being forced to live with questionable handlers chosen by the alleged child molester. People who have seen the girl say they believe she is scared and being held prisoner against her will.
Making the matter worse, a man who has been appointed as minor’s counsel did not even pretend to be interested in helping the child but rather only in helping the man the police tried to have prosecuted for molesting the child. It appeared his goal was to join the father's counsel in silencing the child and helping the alleged child molester get her out of the country. The mother wanted to speak with the child but this "child's" counsel, seemingly acting as an advocate for the molester, demanded she only get one shot at speaking with the girl and that he be allowed to terminate the conversation at any moment if he didn't like what was being said.
He seemed very concerned about what the child might reveal to the mother.
What does this child know that they are trying to hide by silencing her or shipping her out of the country?
So the question remains, will minor’s counsel and others helping the alleged child molester be able to sneak Mahatep Srikureja past Homeland Security, past Immigration and Customs Enforcement and past other federal officials, and past the local police in order to get the alleged child molester into Orange County to grab the little girl and make her disappear before June 27 or in order to appear at the Lamoreaux Justice Center on June 27th to get the judge in the case to authorize the American child's removal from the country. Stranger things have happened. On 9/11/01, the alleged hijackers who allegedly boarded the infamous planes were being watched by federal officials. So maybe there is a travel exception for foreigners suspected of committing or planning crimes.
Here is a list of charges upon which the Tustin Police wanted Mahatep Srikkureja prosecuted:
California Penal Code Secion 288 (a)-Lewd Act
California Penal Code Section 173 (a) (b) Child Abuse
California Penal Code Section 188.5 -Continual Sexual Abuse of a Child
California Penal Code SEction 289 (a) (1) (A) - Anal Penetration
California Penal Code Section188 (a) (a) Oral Copulation
California Penal Code Section 188.7 (b)- Oral Copulation with a Victim under 10 Years Old
If you are interested in asking whether the feds are letting foreigners accused of committing sex crimes on young kids enter the country, the following is contact information for some of these agencies.
ICE: (866) 347-2423 (U.S., Mexico and Canada) or (802) 872-6199
FBI: 855-TELL-FBI or 855-835-5324.
Homeland Security: 202-282-8000
NSA: (301) 688-6524
Canadian Borders Services Agency: Outside Canada: 1-204-983-3500; Inside Canada:

Below is a copy of an email (with the name of an innocent recipient whited out) from the Tustin Police. Sergeant Bob Wright's email specifies the name of the person against whom they are seeking these charges as Mahathep Srikureja.

Russell Maroon Shoatz: One of Thousands of US Political Prisoners
by Stephen Lendman
Thousands of political prisoners languish in America's gulag. It's one of the world's worst. It's the largest by far.
It's supplemented by dozens of global torture prisoners. They're in numerous countries. They're black holes of viciousness. Their existence alone reveals America's dark side.
Marc Mauer heads the Sentencing Project. He's a leading criminal justice system authority. His "Race to Incarcerate" book was groundbreaking.
It focuses on America's rage to punish. To imprison. To fill prison beds. To commodify criminal injustice. To harm society's most vulnerable.
To deny ethnic justice. To target racial emancipation. To spurn economic and social equality across gender and color lines.
To lock people away unjustly. To victimize them by judicial unfairness. To do so by get tough on crime policies. By guilty unless proved innocent. By three strikes and you're out.
Russell Maroon Shoatz is a political prisoner. He calls himself a prisoner of war He's a dedicated community activist. He's a founding Black Unity Council member.
Man and Humanity in Search of Peace Not Wars
Dr. Mahboob A. Khawaja
“A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. A vision with a task is the hope of the world.” - (Inscription from a church in Sussex, United Kingdom).
“There are the times that try men’s soul”, noted Thomas Paine in his famous “Common Sense”, the moral and intellectual hub of the American independence. In situations of adversity and crises, competent leaders represent hope and optimism for change and conflict management, not egoistic political agenda and animosity.
Bashing Real Democracy
by Stephen Lendman
Media scoundrels reacted as expected. They didn't surprise. They march in lockstep with official Washington policy.
They bashed Sunday's legitimate Donetsk and Lugansk referendums. They reflect real democracy.
They exposed America's sham process. Perhaps they'll inspire people everywhere to follow their courageous example.
Not according to The New York Times. It twists important truths daily. It does so irresponsibly. On May 11, it headlined "Ukraine Vote on Separation Held in Chaos," saying:
"Separatists in two provinces of eastern Ukraine conducted chaotic and sometimes violent plebiscites on Sunday that offered voters just one question about self-rule, while raising many more about where events in the region were headed."
FCC: We Won't Stop Until The Internet Is Safe!
By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers
We're camping out day and night on the FCC's doorstep to defend net neutrality and keep the Internet free from discrimination and "slow lanes"
Schedule at the FCC Camp This Week
Tuesday: Performance night, music and spoken word, bring your instruments.
Wednesday: Art Build
Thursday: Rally at 9 AM, Open Commission Meeting at 10:30
Last week we wrote about the importance of taking action to save the Net. The Chairman of the FCC Tom Wheeler is proposing new rules that will be great for Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon, but terrible for the rest of us. The FCC has been surrounded by corporate lobbyists for too long.
Eastern Ukrainians Vote
by Stephen Lendman
On May 11, Donetsk and Lugansk regional referendums were held. Polls opened at 8AM.
Central Election Commission head Roman Lyagin said "turnout is not just high, it's off the charts."
"People (queued) up at polling stations…(E)lection commissions (worked) at full capacity."
Results will be declared valid whatever the turnout, he added.
Around 1,500 polling stations were set up in each region. Thousands participated in preparations. Thousands more including local autonomy campaigners.
Residents in both regions were asked if they "support an act of state self-rule." Yes or no.
Election Commission officials dispelled false information. Residents didn't choose between remaining in Ukraine or joining Russia.
They voted up or down for self-determination. For federalization. For local autonomy.
Lugansk and Donetsk Declare Independence
by Stephen Lendman
On Sunday, Lugansk and Donetsk voted. Regional referendums were held. Doing so reflected real democracy.
Ordinary people spoke. They did so overwhelmingly. They did near unanimously. They rejected Kiev fascists decisively.
They were unequivocal. They left no doubt where they stand.
On Monday, Lugansk People's Governor Valery Bolotov went the extra mile. He declared what free people everywhere support.
He proclaimed regional self-determination. He spoke for virtually all residents, announcing:
"We have chosen our own path of independence from tyranny and bloody dictatorship by Kiev junta, from fascism and nationalism. We have chosen the path of freedom and the rule of law."
Blackwater Killers in Eastern Ukraine
by Stephen Lendman
Blackwater's rap sheet reveals a record too deplorable to conceal. It became Xe. It's now Academi.
Putting lipstick on this pig doesn't help. It's no different than before. Jeremy Scahill's book titled "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army" called it:
A "shadowy mercenary company (employing) some of the most feared professional killers in the world accustomed to operating without worry of legal consequences (and) largely off the congressional radar."
It has "remarkable power and protection (within) the US war apparatus." It's well funded. It operates extrajudicially.
It's unaccountable. It's licensed to kill, terrorize, destroy and destabilize. It takes full advantage. It does so wherever it's deployed.
On May 11, Voice of Russia (VOR) headlined "400 US commandos help Kiev in its military offensive in east Ukraine - reports."
What you can do for the kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls
Mary Shaw
By now you probably know that more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls were abducted last month by Boko Haram terrorists and remain missing. Some of the girls have reportedly been forced to marry their captors while others have been sold into slavery for $12 each.
And you may have heard that the U.S. and other nations are getting involved to help in the search to find the kidnapped girls and their abductors. In fact, it's been reported that U.S. Marines in Nigeria have already arrested two suspects.
It's good that outsiders are getting involved, in light of Amnesty International's recent discovery that Nigerian officials had received advance warnings that Boko Haram was planning to raid the girls' boarding school but did nothing to prevent it. Those poor girls clearly need outside help.
