German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble shut down two far-right organizations on grounds that they deny the Holocaust took place.
The minister accused the groups of being “reservoirs of organized Holocaust deniers” who distribute anti-Semitic propaganda and praise the Nazis over the Internet.
Authorities raided 30 locations looking for evidence early on Wednesday, May 7, taking evidence with them, a statement from Schaeuble said.
It’s an unbelievable story that has an entire community in shock.

Students at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point butted heads over abortion Thursday. An anti-abortion organization planted 4,000 white crosses on campus to symbolize aborted fetuses, and a student responded by pulling hundreds of them out of the ground.
The exhibit, sponsored by Pointers for Life and posted on Isadore Street outside of the Health Enhancement Center, is called Cemetery of the Innocents and features crosses and anti-abortion and religious signs, one of which reads “Seek Jesus.”
The group has come to expect minor vandalism each time it mounts the exhibit, but students were shocked when Roderick King pulled up many of the crosses in protest. Read more »
TWIN FALLS, Idaho — An instructor at a south-central Idaho high school says he took a Mexican flag away from a student on Monday and put it in the garbage because he feared “white kids” in the physical education class might harm the student with the flag.”I had to confiscate it so it wouldn’t escalate any problems in class,” instructor Clint Straatman told The Times-News. “We’re worried about that stuff all the time. We always have kids saying stuff to each other, and we have a lot of fights between kids.”
The student, 16-year-old Froylan Camelo, and others brought Mexican flags to Minico High School in Rupert to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, the May 5 recognition of Mexico’s victory over the French army on that day in 1862. Read more »
CHICAGO (AP) — It seemed for a while as if R. Kelly’s day in court might never come.
But after six years of repeated delays, jury selection is set to begin Friday in the Grammy-winning R&B singer’s trial on child pornography charges, prompted by a videotape allegedly showing Kelly having sex with a girl as young as 13.
Prosecutors, though, will have a unique challenge: The alleged victim, now 23, says it wasn’t her. And Kelly’s attorneys — including Ed Genson, who often represents the rich and famous — haven’t admitted it’s Kelly in the video. Read more »
Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, one of the architects of the border wall project between Mexico and Texas, drew boos from residents in Brownsville, Texas, at a public meeting on the subject this week.
“If you don’t like the fence … between the city and Mexico, I suggest that you build the fence around the northern part of the city,” fired off Tancredo when opponents to the fence made their displeasure heard at the meeting.
Brownsville Mayor Pat Ahumada called the Congressman a bigot, and said that the border wall project was a “racist thing.”
“They’re afraid of us Mexicans taking over politically, I think,” he said in a television interview. Read more »
WASHINGTON (CNN) — John Allen Muhammad, who is on Virginia’s death row in connection with the 2002 Washington-area sniper spree, has written to Virginia prosecutors saying he wants to waive all rights to appeal.
In the letter dated April 23, Muhammad professes his innocence, but says he wants to waive appeals so the state “can murder this innocent Black man.”
Muhammad’s court-appointed attorney, contacted Tuesday, declined to characterize the letter. But attorney James Connell said he had just met with Muhammad and “when I left him today at 3 o’clock, he did not want to be executed.”
Former top US diplomat John Bolton calls for military strikes on Iran, claiming they will serve as a major step toward a victory in Iraq.
The former American ambassador to the UN told Fox News that while there is a risk of a hostile Iranian response - in case of a US strike on Iran -, Washington would be in more trouble than it already is in if no action is taken against Tehran.
Bolton’s remarks come at a time when the White House is making a fresh stream of allegations regarding ‘Iran’s influence in Iraq’. Read more »
