Videos of the rapes of 10 unconscious boys were found on the cellphone of a Tennessee soccer coach after he left it behind at a restaurant, police said Sunday. Camilo Hurtado Campos, 56, was booked on allegations of child rape and sexual exploitation of a minor, the Franklin Police Department said in a statement. He continued to be held Sunday on $525,000 bond, Police Lt. Charles Warner said. It's not clear whether Campos has legal counsel, and the local public defender didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Police described Campos as a popular soccer coach and a 20-year...

Despite Mandalay Bay shooter Stephen Paddock’s history of high-stakes gambling, he had no known gambling debts, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Tuesday. And, contrary to published reports, Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, told investigators in Los Angeles she had no concerns about his mental health. In an extensive interview Tuesday with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Lombardo clarified those details and provided new information about the Oct. 1 shooting that killed 58 concertgoers and left nearly 500 injured. The sheriff said investigators have made contact with Paddock’s entire “family tree,” including the shooter’s two ex-wives. Their conversations have shed new light...

FULL TITLE: WAYNE ALLYN ROOT=> The Vegas Massacre Exposé: What Really Happened? The Vegas Massacre is clearly the new "JFK Murder Conspiracy" updated for the 21st century. The whole story stinks to high heaven. It's rancid. Clearly, our own government, FBI and Las Vegas police are involved in some sort of cover-up. The question is- what are they covering up?Las Vegas is my home. I have the top radio talk show in this town. Many dozens of Vegas residents have gotten in touch with me to give me their take on the Vegas Massacre. Included in that group has been...

Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos mysteriously left the country just days after the Las Vegas massacre, a report says. Customs and Border Patrol documents obtained by Fox News show that the 25-year-old entered the United States from Mexico at the San Ysidro border crossing in California — one week after the mass shooting. It’s unclear how long Campos was out of the country.

A Mandalay Bay security guard was pressured to give his first interview about the mass shooting in Las Vegas to Ellen DeGeneres because company bigwigs feared a real journalist would have grilled him about the timeline, according to a report. Police initially referred to Jesus Campos as a “hero” — saying he intervened about midway through the mass shooting and caused Stephen Paddock to stop firing. But officials later changed the timeline and claimed he had actually been targeted before the killing started, not after.

Whatever happened to Jesus Campos? He interrupted the shooter and took a bullet in his leg for his pains. He's a hero. He should be on every commentary show in the country by now, especially if he's not in the country legally, he'd be the absolute darling of the media. Not a peep. Nothing about his medical treatment. Nothing about any questioning the authorities have done. No stories of his childhood. No I knew him when. Nothing from any friends and neighbors. No co-workers talking about what a great guy he is...

An unarmed security guard at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino found gunman Stephen Paddock and drew the shooter's attention while radioing police for help. The security guard was identified as Jesus Campos by the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America. He was injured after Paddock fired at him through a door, striking Campos in the leg, police said. *snip* Speaking this evening, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo praised Campos, saying he aided officers in their search for Paddock.

A San Francisco supervisor wants to rename the city's airport in honor of civil rights leader Harvey Milk, a change supporters said would send a global message about the importance and struggles of gays and lesbians for equality. Supervisor David Campos will introduce legislation Tuesday that would place the proposal to rename San Francisco International Airport as Harvey Milk San Francisco International Airport before voters in November. To send the name change to voters, Campos needs the support of five other supervisors, and Monday he already had four co-sponsors.

Omaha police have arrested a 24-year-old woman in connection with Monday's fatal hit-and-run crash at 42nd and Q Streets. Police said Flor Campos was neither the driver nor a passenger in the pickup that hit a car driven by 27-year-old Ronald E. Rydberg. According to police reports, Campos drove the pickup's driver from Omaha to a Kansas City, Mo., bus station so the pickup driver and his brother could flee to Mexico.

Ex-SEC commissioner Campos wants to bring back hedge fund manager registrationWASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - A top adviser to President-elect Barack Obama on securities regulations called Tuesday for the Securities and Exchange Commission to require more complete disclosure of "synthetic securities" and other derivatives. "All synthetic securities, all derivatives should be overseen by the SEC or an organization the SEC morphs into," said Roel Campos, a former Democratic SEC commissioner and member of Obama's transition team. "Disclosure, transparency, counterparties, leverage, positions and derivatives should be well known so people aren't fooled into thinking that they are entering into a safer situation than...

Bishop Fernando Rifan says traditionalists must show perfect communion with Pope, tradition Brian Mershon Brian Mershon June 20, 2006 (From the June 22 edition of The Wanderer) The great expectations of a pending "freeing of the Classical Roman rite of liturgy" have dissipated like April showers. It is now in the heat of summer, and a well-respected consultant to the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith was interviewed by the Mexican newspaper, Milenio, where he mentioned the possibility of a document freeing the Classical rite may be promulgated in October, a post-synodal apostolic exhortation, following the October 2005 synod on...

Supporters of the Iraq war like to claim that Iraq is merely the current front line in a battle for national survival against a vast and shadowy enemy. They call this opponent "Islamofascism" or "global terrorism" or "the enemies of freedom." (How Saddam Hussein's brutal but ruthlessly nonideological regime ended up on this enemies' list remains unclear). For example, Commentary's Norman Podhoretz assures us we are fighting the first battles of World War IV, which he estimates could last 50 years, while The Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer conjures up visions of atomic bombs going off simultaneously in 10 American cities...

...snip CU officials say roughly 15 percent of Churchill's $92,000-a-year salary - $13,800 - comes from state tax dollars. The remaining 85 percent - $78,200 - comes from tuition. But about 74 percent of that tuition - $57,868 - comes from out-of-state students, CU says. Ward Churchill gets paid plenty by the rich parents of kids from the country's major metropolitan areas who can afford CU's hefty nonresident bills. He owes his professional existence to the very "technicians of empire" he likened to "little Eichmanns."

Ward Churchill said in his most recent speech that Wall Street was named because of a wall that had once been part of a holding pen for slaves. He also said that the Wappinger tribe only thought they had rented a portion of Manhattan to the Dutch and that when they contested the sale the settlers massacred them, cut off their heads, and played kickball with the heads at roughly the site of the Twin Towers. The facts are easily googled. “A century before, Dutch settlers had built a wall to protect themselves from Indians, priates(sic), and other dangers.” -...

The University of Colorado is....hearing from Indian country [http://www.indiancountry.com] scholars whose previous protests against Churchill's appointment fell on deaf ears. The three-person panel reviewing Churchill's work is receiving studies that accuse him of fabricating evidence for his academic writing and even of plagiarism. At least one member of the UC faculty has also questioned why the University hired and promoted Churchill in the first place... Charges such as these will be grist for the University of Colorado review mill over the next 30 days. As DiStefano described it at the tumultuous Board of Regents meeting, it would consider two questions:...

A Comment on Campos from David Allen White Ph.D. Author of The Mouth of the Lion In the late 1980s, Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer of the diocese of Campos, Brazil, realized that his days with his flock were drawing to a close. Pope John Paul II had forced him into retirement when the Bishop had reached the age of 75, but he had remained a strong and guiding presence as Rome's newly appointed Bishop, Carlos Navarro, sought to stamp out the Tridentine Mass, and thus the Catholic Faith, in the diocese. Bishop de Castro Mayer made arrangements with Archbishop...

My Brothers in Christ and My Friends, With great sorrow I read today that you are now "considered perfectly inserted in the Holy Roman Catholic Apostolic Church." I never knew you left. During those memorable days when I visited you in 1991 while doing research for my book on your great and honored Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer, I had the privilege of witnessing the Catholic life of your diocese, the most perfect embodiment of the Catholic life in a contemporary setting which I have ever witnessed and so much more than I could ever imagine. What a blessing you...

Latin Mass brings more people to church Bishop Fernando A. Rifan, the apostolic administrator for traditionalist Catholics in a diocese in Brazil, visits East Providence and speaks of the resurgence of the traditional Mass. EAST PROVIDENCE -- The Catholic bishop who was tapped by the Vatican as the pastoral leader for thousands of Catholics in Brazil who remain attached to the old Latin Mass says he's convinced the rite will play a crucial role in the renewal of the church. "Because the guidelines and structure of the Tridentine rite are so much more strict, I believe it will protect us...

Sometime in February or March, officials at the Justice Department held a closed-door meeting with a federal judge in Washington, where they laid out what the government knows about the anthrax-letter attacks of 2001. Nobody is exactly sure what the department told the judge during that meeting. People familiar with the presentation say it was held under top-secret conditions; documents were escorted to the courtroom under the supervision of the U.S. Marshals Service, and the judge was not even allowed to keep copies of the papers that were shown to him. But at a hearing on March 29, the judge,...
