Emanuela Orlandi Was 'Kidnapped For Vatican Sex Parties,' Claims Father Gabriele Amorth

(AP Photo, File) The Holy See was directly involved in the disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi in 1983, according to a contentious accusation by the Catholic Church's leading exorcist. The Rev. Gabriele Amorth claimed that the girl's kidnapping was a "crime of a sexual nature." "Parties were organized, with a Vatican gendarme acting as the 'recruiter' of the girls," Amorth told La Stampa, according to a translation by The Telegraph. "The network involved diplomatic personnel from a foreign embassy to the Holy See. I believe Emanuela ended up a victim of this circle." Amorth, who was appointed by Pope John Paul II and has carried out more than 70,000 exorcisms, is no stranger to controversial public statements; according to The Sun, the exorcist has called Harry Potter the "work of the devil," and has claimed "the devil was at work in the Vatican" when discussing the Catholic Church's sex scandals. Clues to the missing girl's whereabouts had pointed in several directions, including toward a Turkish gunman who attempted to assassinate Pope John Paul II, The Telegraph reports. On May 14, one rumor led Italian police to exhume the grave of Enrico De Pedis, a member of Rome's Magliana mob who was killed in 1990, the Associated Press reports. A one-time girlfriend previously said De Pedis committed the kidnapping, and an anonymous call to a television show in 2005 suggested clues on Orlandi's fate lay in the dead mobster's tomb in Basilica of Sant’Apollinaire. A set of bones not belonging to De Pedis were found, but the identity of the remains has yet to be released. The Vatican insists it has done everything in its power to help solve the mystery of the missing girl. Source: Huff Post

Korea Naked News girl in Japanese Porn

Korea Naked News girl in Japanese Porn movie has Korean citizens outraged. Oh, not because she stared in an adult movie, I mean they didn’t care that she was an Naked News achor (알몸누스 ). The people of Korea were embarrassed that that this particular girl was wearing a Hanbok (한복). This is a big loosing of face for the nation as the film was distributed not only in Japan, but available worldwide through the companies website. How could someone wear a traditional costume, wrote some Koreans who felt disgraced by these actions. Written on the jacket of the video was the ‘best babes of Korea taking XXX’ or something like that (if you know let us know) and you can see how sweet and innocent she is looking with her hands on her lap. Netizens lost it as the image of the Korean hanbok being associated with adult movies. Come on, cut the girl of loose morals some slack. What was she to do after the naked news “owner” in Korea flew the coop with about W300,000,000 in cable subscriptions therefore leading to these hopeful to be nude Korean girls without a job. Naturally what does an announcer do after they loose one job reading the news, well porn of course. I think that is what Dan Rather has been doing since leaving his anchor position.

World's rudest countries revealed

Travellers may love France for its towering Eiffel and romantic Louvre, but not the country's natives. A poll conducted by Skyscanner revealed that the French have been voted by 1,200 of its respondents as the rudest nation. The French took the biggest share of the pie - at 19 per cent - for being "abrupt and curt," it said in a press release. The Russians came a close second at 17 per cent, while the British were third at 10 per cent. China emerged fourth on the list, leading the pack in Asia. (Emm...we couldn't agree more) But the website attributed the rankings to differences in culture more than genuine rudeness. Case in point: "Russians can be more direct when talking, which may be misconstrued as being rude," explained Tatiana Danilova, Russian market manager for Skyscanner. "The Russian language is not as polite as English, so when Russians translate directly from Russian to English, it can sound rude to an English speaker even if they don’t mean it to. On the other hand, the "Russians tend to consider British people extremely polite due to their courteous way of speaking,” she said. Skyscanner marketing manager for China, Yi Bao, gave another example to back the cultural difference theory. He said, while queuing is a social norm in the West, it’s not a common behavior for Chinese people, “so (it) could be interpreted as being rude (by international travellers).” Source: www.asiaone.com

Loan sharks take out anger on family

KUALA LUMPUR: Two different families bore the brunt of angry Ah Long (loan sharks) who threw Molotov cocktails into their properties. Ong Hwa Cheong, 44, and his mother Low, 69, were shocked to find the front porch of their house in Taman Sentosa, Klang, on fire at 2am on May 20. Ong claimed that it was the work of groups of Ah Long searching for his brother-in-law and his wife who fled last February after failing to pay their debts. “The two never stayed here but my brother-in-law gave my address to the Ah Long as a collateral, and now we have to face the threats and harassment,” said Ong, who is a facility engineer. He added that he had no idea how many groups of Ah Long were involved and how much his brother-in-law had borrowed. While relating his ordeal at a press conference at the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department yesterday, Ong said: “A group of Ah Long came to my house on Feb 16 and asked for my brother-in-law. “When I told them that he never lived in my house, they got angry and started smashing my car,” he said, adding that they also splashed red paint all over his car on March 1. In the wee hours of May 20, the son of Ong's neighbour called him after hearing a loud explosion followed by fire spreading fast in front of the house. “Luckily, he (neighbour's son) informed us early, or else we could have died in the fire,” said Ong, adding that they managed to put out the fire and discovered fragments of the hand-made bomb. Both Ong and his mother are hoping that the harassment will stop as they are innocent victims. In another case, a bak kut teh restaurant owner, K.S. Chai, claimed that the two joint shoplots he owned in Klang were badly burnt by Molotov cocktails on May 20 at 12.30am by one of the 13 Ah Long he had borrowed from. He lodged a police report the next day, and the case is under investigation. Source: The Star

Pictures show N. Korea rocket launch upgrade

WASHINGTON - North Korea has undertaken a major upgrade of a launch pad that could pave the way for longer-range missiles, a research group said Tuesday, amid mounting concern over Pyongyang's nuclear program. Satellite images show that North Korea has made "rapid progress" in the past year at its Musudan-ri site and has apparently razed a nearby village for a building to assemble larger rockets, according to the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University. The institute suspected that North Korea was looking at rockets larger than its Unha-3, which flopped during an April 13 test, and that may have intercontinental range - a longstanding concern of the United States. "The new construction is intended to support future launches of rockets larger than the recently tested Unha - more capable liquid fueled space launch vehicles or missiles with intercontinental ranges - that will also overfly Japan, further aggravating regional tensions," the institute said on its blog, 38north.org. The researchers estimated that the upgraded center would be operational by 2016-2017. The pictures showed a flame trench, foundations for buildings and a white circular structure whose purpose is unclear but will likely surround erected rockets. The institute said that the facility had similarities but also differences with a launch complex in Iran and said it was uncertain whether there was cooperation between the two countries, both nemeses of Washington. North Korea stunned the world in 1998 when it fired a rocket over Japan into the Pacific Ocean. Its recent tests have been less successful, with even North Korea's normally triumphant media acknowledging the latest launch was a failure. North Korea said that last month's launch - carried out from Sohae, a separate station - was a bid to put a satellite into orbit. But US and allied nations believe that North Korea was fine-tuning a long-range missile. The communist state has since hinted that it will carry out its third nuclear test. A foreign ministry spokesman on Tuesday threatened "counter-measures for self-defense" if the United States "persists in its moves to ratchet up sanctions and pressure upon us despite our peace-loving efforts." The spokesman was hitting back at a statement Saturday by the United States and other members of the Group of Eight major industrialized nations that said they would press for UN action in response to further launches or a nuclear test by North Korea. The United States already suspended a February 29 agreement to provide badly needed food assistance to North Korea in response to the rocket launch. Glyn Davies, the US special envoy on North Korea, played down the latest North Korean statement during a visit to Beijing, saying it did not represent a change of stance by Kim Jong-Un's regime. He called for North Korea to recommit to a six-nation 2005 agreement under which it agreed to end its nuclear program in return for aid and security guarantees. "What we're looking for now from North Korea is that they will now begin to take actions to demonstrate that they are serious about fulfilling their promises," Davies said. The US-Korea Institute, releasing analysis of separate satellite pictures taken last month, earlier said that North Korea also appeared to be making headway on a light-water reactor that could support its nuclear weapons program.
