[NYPOST] Police are searching for a sicko accused of sexually abusing a man's corpse on a Manhattan subway, according to police and sources.
The unidentified accused necrophiliac is sought by the NYPD for allegedly assaulting the dead man on an R train just around 11:45 Tuesday night, police sources said.
He then left the Whitehall Street subway station in lower Manhattan shortly after midnight, sources told The Post.
The dear departed man, who has also not yet been identified, is believed to have died of natural causes, sources said.
Investigators do not believe the two knew each other, the sources added.
The sicko is described as 5 feet 9, 195 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, according to a wanted poster.
His last known address was Manor Avenue in the Soundview section of the Bronx.
The dead man had boarded the subway around 8 p.m., and the suspect got on about three hours later — although it's not clear exactly where, sources said.
Around 11:45 p.m., security footage showed the twisted suspect engaging in sexual acts with the dear departed victim.
He got off the train around 12:08 p.m., sources said.

Wow - what a weird story.
Quote from the article: They said he took his thing out and put it in the guy’s …"
Police are also looking to speak with a woman who handed the deceased victim a cigarette of some kind before he died... She was seen rummaging through the man’s pockets after he smoked and became unconscious, according to police sources.
[DM] Relatives of the UK scientist found dismembered in Colombia fear he may have been murdered by organ traffickers.
Alessandro Coatti's remains have been found scattered around a town in Colombia, with his torso found miles away from his dismembered legs, head, hands and feet.
The discovery in the Colombian port city of Santa Marta has left police and his family in Italy in shock.
Police are still scrambling to understand how the London-based 38-year-old was killed on a trip to the South American country, just days before he was due to return.
Mr Coatti's family fear he may have been killed by organ traffickers.
'Alessandro didn't have any enemies; he was a quiet person,' said his uncle, Giovanni Coatti. He certainly is now
'The theory of a robbery doesn't convince me; he didn't have anything of value. What's really troubling us is another possibility, that of organ trafficking.
or someone nasty was just having nasty fun…
'When you see how his body was found, in pieces, without the chest. It's something horrible to even say but at this point nothing has been ruled out.'
Mr Coatti's head, hands and feet were found in a suitcase near the Sierra Nevada stadium on April 6, two days after he was last seen leaving his hotel by the coast.
His torso and other body parts were then found near the Minuto de Dios bridge a day later, before his legs were found in a coffee sack near the stadium on Tuesday.
Mr Coatti, originally from Longastrino, Ravenna, was visiting the country in the hopes of one day moving there.
'He wanted to go and live in South America so he went for a trip to see; he was supposed to be back next week,' his uncle shared.
The molecular biologist had left the Royal Society of Biology in 2024 to volunteer in Ecuador and travel to South America.
While in Colombia, he had asked about the local area, showing interest in learning about the local fauna and vegetation, Agenzia Nova reports.
Investigators believe he had taken the evening of April 4 to go to a local club before vanishing.
They are still working to understand whether or not he ever arrived, scouring CCTV and phone records.
According to his uncle, he would not have been an obvious target for thieves.
'He never had much money in his pockets, or a watch or other precious objects,' he said.
'All he had was a new mobile phone to take pictures but even that was a cheap one.'
A parallel investigation has also been opened in Italy and his parents have handed over devices containing his last messages.
Officers are also expected to travel to Colombia to assist in their probe.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Authorities in Virginia are on the hunt for multiple suspects who are believed to have opened fire on a townhouse - killing three people, and wounding three others.
The Spotsylvania Sheriff's office announced Tuesday night that it had received a call at around 5:30pm about a shooting at a complex outside of Fredericksburg.
When deputies then arrived on the scene, they found three people dead from gunshot wounds outside and three others who were rushed to a local hospital for their injuries.
Their conditions remained unclear early Wednesday morning, as did a motive for the shooting.
But Maj. Elizabeth Scott, spokesperson for the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office, said at a news conference that deputies are looking into the possibility that the shooting was committed by more than one person.
Photos obtained by Fox 5 also showed two people holding what appeared to be long-guns walking down the street in the moments before the shooting.
'There's dozens upon dozens of officers out actively looking for suspects and preserving the scene of the crime,' Scott said.
'We will be here all night until we find the suspects,' she said during an evening news conference.
[MSN] Four teenagers were arrested after Tuesday night's deadly shooting in a residential area of the county, which police have now characterized as an illegal gun sale that turned violent mostly peaceful.
Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office said it found and took all suspects into custody around 7 a.m. Wednesday. Now, they've confirmed that two 16-year-olds, one 17-year-old and one 18-year-old were arrested. Only the 18-year-old, Jeremiah Upson, has been named at this time. Two of the teenagers are from Spotsylvania County and two are from Caroline County.
Police responded to the shooting around 6 p.m. Tuesday in the area of Olde Greenwich Circle in Spotsylvania. Three people were killed and three people were critically injured, the sheriff's office and State Sen. Bryce Reaves confirmed.
"Initial investigation reveals that this was an illegal gun sale/robbery," Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office wrote in a blurb Wednesday morning. They did not provide any more details on the relationship between the people involved. They also did not say what prompted the shooting.
The two of the three people killed in the incident have now been named. They are 18-year-old Chase Feaster and 18-year-old Alonzo Goffney, both of Spotsylvania County. The name of the third victim, a 20-year-old, is being withheld pending confirmation from the medical examiner's office.
The three injured people have not been named, but police have confirmed that one of the 16-year-old suspects is injured in the hospital. They will be moved to jail when they are released, where the other three are also being held with no bond.

Let's play "Guess The Race".
When those two youths shot up the KC super bowl party, the first thing police did was get on the air and make sure their identities were kept secret. Even when the very barest smidgen of video was allowed to be shown, it looked like it was taken from a Panasonic VHS-C with no zoom from waaaaay over there.
"According to authorities, two of the suspects are 16-years-old, one a 17-year-old, and another is 18-year-old Jeremiah Upson. Two of the suspects are Spotsylvania County residents, and two are Caroline County residents.
The names and mugshots of the other suspects have not been released at this time"
[Breitbart] Transgender activists are claiming outrage after a male-only gay nudist camp rejected their demand for female participation in an upcoming all-male social event in May.
The staged uproar spotlights the aggressive demand by advocates for transgenderism that gay men must pretend that women miraculously become men once they say they feel “transgender.”
For years, ordinary women and lesbians have faced the same intrusive “transgender” demands in bathrooms, civic events, and sports from men who say they feel like women.
This time, gay men- who are sexually attracted to male bodies, not females who insist they are “transgender men”- are facing similar political pressure to submit to the transgender political campaign.
The female group “knew full well of our policy regarding trans-men well advance of their organization booking their dates,” said a March 31 explanation by the “Grizzly Pines” camp owners. They added:
At Grizzly Pines, our mission has always been to provide a safe, affirming, and liberating space exclusively for cis gender [sic] men … Grizzly Pines exists as a private niche retreat and its purpose is not to serve as a one size fits all solution for the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum.
A pro-transgender outlet, Advocate.com touted the transgender demands above the gay rights group, saying:
The controversy has prompted a conversation about exclusion, transphobia, and who gets to define community in LGBTQ+ spaces traditionally rooted in body positivity and inclusion.
The fight was staged by a pro-transgender group called the “Houston Bears,” which includes both male homosexuals and women who claim to be “transgender.” Their site says, “Our membership transcends gender, race, age and ethnicity to include bears, cubs, otters, admirers and other allies to the Bear Community.”
The “bears” term refers to hairy men, as opposed to the clean-shaved look more common among gay men.
The Advocate.com reported:
“The idea of having an event where we would be forced to tell some of our members ‘not you’ is incompatible with our values,” the Houston Bears said in a statement sent to The Advocate and posted online. “We know that it is very late in the process, but we also believe that it is never too late to do the right thing.”
The Houston Bear’s summer event has been moved to an alternative site at Rainbow Ranch in Groesbeck, Texas.
Yet transgender activists insist they are being politically betrayed by the managers of the gay campground.
“There’s a huge swath of the LGB community that feels like the fight is over for them,” John Anderson, founder of the Gay Camping Friends civic group, told Advocate.com:
They’ve made progress and now want to separate themselves from trans people. People post graphics that read ‘LGB’ with a slash through the ‘T.’ What they don’t understand is that attacks on trans people are the precursor to attacks on all queer people. They’re next.”
However, the niche fight helps to reveal the supremacist demands by “transgender” groups that everyone else must accept their claims to have changed their sex once they mimic members of the opposite sex. Some people who claim to be transgender prefer to have homosexual sex with people who share their biological sex. Others prefer to have straight sex with people of the opposite biological sex.
Their sexual demands are hidden underneath their revolutionary claims that each person’s feeling of their “gender” is more important than the differences between the two sexes. For example, the pro-transgender group, GLAAD, is trying to redefine both heterosexuality and homosexuality around the invented idea of “gender.”
Breitbart News reported in March 2024:
Same-Gender Loving …Also known as SGL, this is a term used by some African American people as an Afrocentric alternative to what are considered Eurocentric, or white, identities like gay and lesbian. Coined by activist Cleo Manago in the 1990s, the term and its usage explicitly recognizes the histories and cultures of people of African descent.
…
For example, a transgender woman [a man pretending to be a woman – added] who is attracted exclusively to women would typically describe [himself] a lesbian; if [he] were exclusively attracted to men, she would likely describe herself a straight woman.
“Drunked Octopus” tweeted: “Wow. GLAAD are actively erasing same sex attraction as a concept. They are erasing LGB. This is homophobia.”
A similar political campaign by transgender groups killed a women-only music festival held in Michigan from 1976 to 2015.
The transgender campaign is being funded and backed by elite-funded progressives who impose diversity to help fracture the civic and political power of ordinary American families in a society that recognizes men and women as equal, different, and complementary.
Polls suggest that the “transgender” campaign is weakening public acceptance of gays and lesbians. NBC News reported in March 2024:
After steadily increasing over the last decade, support for same-sex marriage dipped to 67% in 2023 from a record high of 69% the year before, according to the survey of more than 22,000 U.S. adults, which was conducted by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, or PRRI, and reported a margin of sampling error of 0.82%. More than three-quarters of those surveyed (76%) favored laws that protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodation, a decline from a record high of 80% in 2022.
The demand is increasingly unpopular among Americans, some of whom switched parties from Democratic to Republican in the 2024 elections. The demand also pushed some gays and lesbians into the GOP column, partly because transgender advocates are pressuring many same-sex attracted teenagers to submit to transgender claims.
Since then, Trump has aggressively pushed back against the transgender claim that gender is both real and more important than each person’s obvious male or female sex- whatever their straight, gay, or lesbian sexual feelings.

Not necessarily...depends on the fault and location.
Faults like the San Adreas - Right lateral strike slip - where the lands masses move laterally rather than horizontally have multiple lock points. Some sections move freely while others build up strain.
Small movements might just increase strain in other areas.

[Regnum] The main indices on the New York Stock Exchange are showing a sharp rise after US President Donald Trump announced the suspension of tariffs for a number of countries. This is evidenced by trading data.
Thus, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 6.2% and amounted to 39,979.36 points, and the S&P 500 increased by 6.94% to 5,328.47 points. The Nasdaq Composite index increased by 9.68% and amounted to 16,745.67 points. This index includes quotes from over 3 thousand corporations from the US and beyond.
Earlier, the head of the White House called on stock market players to buy up shares amid a drop in their prices due to duties. Following this, shares of the American leader's company Trump Media & Technology Group began to grow.
On the evening of April 9, the US President announced the suspension of tariffs on more than 75 countries. The retaliatory tariffs will be suspended for 90 days, the measure comes into effect immediately. At the same time, Trump announced an increase in tariffs on goods from China to 125%.
In turn, Beijing called on the United States to abandon threats, blackmail and unilateral economic intimidation. Countermeasures after the introduction of additional American tariffs will continue "until the end," said the official representative of the embassy in Washington, Liu Pengyu.

During the "Weekend at Bernie's" presidency, the leftist media pretended not to know what was going on with the economy, and the right *still* believed America is the greatest nation on earth. Stocks remained strong, not because anyone believed in *that* joke of an administration, but because we still believed in our nation.
Today, half of our nation (still) doesn't believe in anything, and that half caused the bumpiness we've endured.
By June, the market will be roaring...and the left will be whining about mean tweets or something else similarly unimportant.

It's no surprise that companies like Hewlett-Packard that outsourced all of their manufacturing to China are jolted by the tariffs. I can't say that I have any sympathy for them although it is a bummer for people with 401ks who had to rely on fund managers to make investment decisions. Dump those HP stocks and invest in America.

Watching the Eat The Rich! and Free Luigi! people get really upset at that market dip was a hoot. Almost as much entertainment the next day because they thought they had an own when their firmware was literally out of date 12 hours after downloading.
The Trough Kin tried screaming Market Manipulation to get the furries all fired up, but I think one of their content creators of moderate talent pulled the plug on that can of worms.
[Mail] A remote Turkish village where more than half the population are deaf and non-verbal has left doctors and scientists baffled.
Isolated Gokova - which is located 450 miles from Istanbul and has a small population of 120 - has such profound disability problems that sign language has become the primary means of communication, Turkish newspaper Hürriyet reports.
Local mayor Eyup Tozn said: 'We've learned to rely on sign language as a community but any outsiders have trouble communicating.
'There are almost no healthy people', he said.
Villager Sati Tozun said: 'I have four children with disabilities and one of them has three children, all deaf and mute.
'My sister-in-law has children with disabilities. This village is completely disabled.'
Causes for the condition that has affected several families are not known, but some have blamed the high deafness rate on inbreeding in an area where newcomers are a rarity.
But others say locals have been slowly poisoned by generations of water pollution, with metals like iron and arsenic and chemical contamination from industrial waste having been linked to deafness.
'I think this is not caused by inter-marriage, but because of unhealthy water sources', mayor Tozn added.
Another local, Rahmi Cizin, noted how villagers 'don't have access to clean water', adding that 'the rate of disability here is very high. All of them need care.'
Gokova is a picturesque village with stunning turquoise waters and rolling mountains.
The mystery surrounding the high deafness rate in the Turkish village comes more than 10 years after Australian authorities uncovered a hidden community where children born from generations of incest lived with physical deformities.
Incapable of intelligible speech, some of the children had oddly-formed features as the result of being born to parents who were themselves related.
The discovery was made in 2012, when officials raided a 'bush camp' in the hillside valley.
Lots of studies in Britain because of the high rate of close cousin marriage-caused birth defects:in the “Asian” (Pakistani) community. Here is a recent news report:
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Data suggests the risk of a child of first cousins developing a genetic condition is between 3 to 6 per cent, which is double the risk compared to children from unrelated parents. While this still means the majority of children born in such circumstances will be healthy, the increased risk is undeniable. Potential conditions children of first cousins are at increased risk of include birth defects, developmental delays, and ongoing genetic disorders.
These can include conditions such as blindness, hearing loss, neonatal diabetes, limb malformations, low IQ, cleft palate, heart problems, cystic fibrosis, and even an increased risk of infant death. Risks broadly increases if there is a family history of such unions, as genetic errors can compound between generations.
Cousin marriage is still common in some UK communities.
Experts have previously found that a preference for such unions among British Pakistanis was a contributing factor in child mortality rates in Bradford due to an increased risk of genetic conditions. NHS studies between 2007-11 found consanguineous marriages, a genetics term meaning parents are at least second cousins or more closely related, accounted for 60 per cent of marital unions in people of Pakistani heritage in Bradford.
This compared to just 1 per cent among white British couples in the area.
Of the Pakistani-heritage marriages, 37 per cent were specifically to a first-cousin and would be the type of unions that Mr Holden's bill would forbid if passed into law. Subsequent NHS studies, conducted between 2016 and 2020, found the rate of consanguineous unions among this community has fallen to about 43 per cent.
The NHS has previously stated in leaflets distributed to families in Bradford, that cousin marriage accounts for about a third of birth defects.
Worldwide, one in 10 people are thought to be the result of a consanguineous union.
Studies have put Pakistan as having one of the highest rates globally at 65 per cent. This is followed by India (55 per cent), Saudi Arabia (50 per cent), Afghanistan (40 per cent), Iran (30 per cent) and Egypt and Turkey (20 per cent each).

I don’t see where human trafficking comes into it, but the international trade does not appear to be involved.
[Rudaw] Iraq’s interior ministry announced on Tuesday the arrest of 48 individuals, both men and women, across several provinces for engaging in "witchcraft and sorcery," in a campaign that saw the direct backing of Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council.
The state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA) cited the ministry as stating that "the arrest was made by the Federal Intelligence and Investigations Agency [FIIA], specifically the Directorate for Combating Human Trafficking, over a period of two weeks."
The campaign targeted locations in Baghdad and other provinces "where witchcraft and sorcery were practiced in Baghdad and other provinces" the ministry said, adding that "those arrested were involved in human trafficking, exploiting victims through fraudulent and deceptive means," and "practicing sorcery while claiming to offer spiritual healing or solutions to family problems."
The operation was conducted with the direct support of Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, which "emphasized the importance of combating these dangerous phenomena, as they intersect with human trafficking crimes and pose a direct threat to social peace, ethical values, and the rule of law."
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects were involved in extortion, deception, and psychological and physical exploitation of victims, particularly women and kiddies, in blatant violation of human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... and dignity.
FIIA affirmed that this campaign is "part of the national strategy to combat human trafficking," stressing that "the effective coordination with [Iraq’s] Supreme Judicial Council contributed to accelerating judicial procedures and bringing the perpetrators to justice."
Under Iraq’s Penal Code, witchcraft and sorcery are addressed under fraud Article 456, which punishes anyone who profits from fraudulent practices, including exploiting people's beliefs in magic for financial gain, with penalties of up to five years in prison.
Civil society organizations in Iraq have long warned about the growing prevalence of witchcraft and sorcery in the country. Many Iraqis seek these services, which, they argue, contribute to social and security issues.
A 2012 Pew Research Center survey found that belief in witchcraft exists among a substantial number of Moslems in the Middle East and North Africa.
In Iraq, 55 percent of Moslems surveyed said they believed in witchcraft, evil eye as well as supernatural beings.
Of note, in Islam, the majority view considers witchcraft sacrilegious, as it may involve associating others with God, a concept known in Arabic as ’Shirk.’ The latter is regarded as the gravest sin in Islamic theology, as it undermines the fundamental belief in the oneness of God.

[MedRxIV] Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During the 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season
This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed
ABSTRACT
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season.
Methods Employees of Cleveland Clinic in employment in Ohio on October 1, 2024, were included. The cumulative incidence of influenza among those in the vaccinated and unvaccinated states was compared over the following 25 weeks. Protection provided by vaccination (analyzed as a time-dependent covariate) was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression.
Results Among 53402 employees, 43857 (82.1%) had received the influenza vaccine by the end of the study. Influenza occurred in 1079 (2.02%) during the study. The cumulative incidence of influenza was similar for the vaccinated and unvaccinated states early, but over the course of the study the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated. In an analysis adjusted for age, sex, clinical nursing job, and employment location, the risk of influenza was significantly higher for the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated state (HR, 1.27; 95% C.I., 1.07 – 1.51; P = 0.007), yielding a calculated vaccine effectiveness of −26.9% (95% C.I., −55.0 to −6.6%).
Conclusions This study found that influenza vaccination of working-aged adults was associated with a higher risk of influenza during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season, suggesting that the vaccine has not been effective in preventing influenza this season.
Summary Among 53402 working-aged Cleveland Clinic employees, we were unable to find that the influenza vaccine has been effective in preventing infection during the 2024-2025 respiratory viral season.
The last time I got a flu shot, I got sick anyways, and suspiciously soon after the shot. I no longer get one. The rest of the family does, and always end up suffering through flue season anyways. If I've been sick in the last 10 years, I haven't noticed. So, as at least a premise to a study, I'm going to agree, after the Covid response, have earned the skepticism.
*as always, make your own medical decisions based on your situation.
#4
Bullshit. I have to get one every year as I work for a hospital. Only get the flu every 4-5 years like clockwork, always the N5 version. Otherwise I'm fine.
Either they added a question about getting sick to the usual follow-up satisfaction survey done on their patients or they just did a data analysis of their patients during the period, noting who did and did not get the shot, and then in each set how many came back for treatment for the flu. Either way the effort and expense could be absorbed within the ordinary cost of doing business.
#7
#3,4. There is an obligatory place on an article where the authors detail funding. It has nothing to do with it being true or false.
However, the research detailed in the article cost money - not lots (by med research statement) but not negligible (unless they stole somebody else's data).
#8
TW, if they had real results they would've given (percentage) numbers for vaccinated vs. unvaccinated - instead of a total. The statistical analysis is b*llshit. None of bio-"scientists" know any statistics - they use (incompetently) statistical software.
#9
Methods Employees of Cleveland Clinic in employment in Ohio on October 1, 2024, were included.
The clinical subjects were employees, not patients.
the cumulative incidence of influenza increased more rapidly among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated
/devil's advocate mode
The study controlled for the usual age, sex, job, etc. I wonder if there was a behavioral component. Did the vaccinated subjects feel more protected and hence went out socializing, drinking and whoring more than the unvaxxed subjects?
Is it possible that year's vaccine was a miss for providing effective protection against that season's strain of the flu?
#10
Yes, it all rhymes with a certain analysis from five years ago, and Confirmation Bias is a must have tool in the Bullshit Filter.
And yes, my tiny data points don't take into effect my lifestyle, such cutting out as much sugar as possible, avoiding highly processed food like fast food, exercise, exposure to contagious environment such as handling money and have sick customers coughing and snotting all over me, etc.
I mean, I did eat at a 3rd world corner street food until I got through my second portion and saw the shrimp still had shells on them, and to my surprise they dumped my remaining dip sauce back into the pot and didn't get sick, so what that's worth.
