Hjalti Sigurjón Hauksson was convicted for molesting his stepdaughter everyday for 12 years since she was 5. His conviction in 2004 meant he was in jail all these years but now it has unfolded that the prime minister Bjarni Benediktsson knew his father was actually trying to get the rapist to be set free and he actually allowed it to happen. The father was more worried about family honor and has used the process of “restored honor” in Iceland where criminals can be released after a considerable period and return to mainstream society with all rights and privileges of a citizen. The eligibility for such a pardon requires 2-5 years in prison with good behavior as well as letters of recommendation. One of the letters in Hauksson’s case was provided by the prime minister.

So much for the influenza vaccine. An article about a CDC study revealed that women taking the vaccine were up to 7.7 times at risk of having a miscarriage. The article was written by none other than John.F.Kennedy’s nephew Robert .F.Kennedy an outspoken advocate of optional vaccines and who rallies against the use of toxic mercury in vaccines. However, The CDC also refuted the claim and this was its official stance. “thimerosal is the “safe” mercury because it is purportedly excreted quickly from the body. CDC bases this claim solely on its misinterpretation of data from a poorly designed study conducted in the early 2000s by an industry insider, Dr. Michael Pichichero. Subsequent studies have proven that the ethylmercury in thimerosal is actually far more persistent in organs than the methylmercury in fish.”

Here’s what Trump had to say in the wake of the hurricane calamities that struck the USA “As many Americans struggle to get back on their feet after their homes were destroyed by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the United States government has insisted that the only way to raise money for relief efforts is to increase the national debt—while setting aside another $75 million in aid for Israel. The media should never influence your priority of information. Learning about news that matters is better than reading about attractive headlines that sell. Always look for the news stories you missed reading every day.
