Cheat Sheet - Iran’s Kinky Western Sex Fantasies

Read This, Skip That ....

January 02, 2015
VET DREAMS
To keep girls wearing veils, officials in Tehran make up incredible stories about sexual debauchery, and especially bestiality, in the West. IranWire's Shima Sharabi reports that hardliners are still using the scare tactics today, out of fear that Iranian culture has become too Westernized and distant from true Islamic culture.
DEVELOPING

On Friday, President Obama signed an executive order imposing sanctions on 10 named North Korean officials in retaliation for the Sony Pictures hacks. The sanctions affect three North Korean entities, including an intelligence agency and an arms dealer, and 10 officials. (Those sanctioned are no longer allowed to use the U.S. financial system and all Americans are prohibited from doing business with them.)

The sanctions come despite mounting evidence that the regime may not have been solely responsible for the cyberattack. White House officials admit there is no evidence linking the sanctioned officials to the Sony hack, but said they were central in a number of provocative actions against the United States.

BRUTE

Tanisha Anderson, a 37-year-old black woman, died after being physically restrained in a prone position by a Cleveland police officer, the medical examiner's office announced Friday. An internal police investigation has not determined if the officer's use of force was necessary. Anderson was taken into custody by police on Nov. 13 and an officer put his knee on her back as she lay face-down after she got out of a police car. She had been reported by her parents for disturbing the peace and was being taken in for a mental-health evaluation. An investigation by the Justice Department in 2014 found that the Cleveland Police Department systematically engages in excessive use of force against civilians.
