Global Backlash As Miss Jamaica Places 5th In The Miss Universe Pageant


Miss Jamaica and Miss Colombia

The Miss Universe pageant has been rocked by a global backlash that began in the audience of the live, internationally televised show that took place in Miami, Florida this year. Pageant favorite, Miss Jamaica, Kaci Fennell, placed fifth in the competition, leading to loud, spontaneous booing from the audience. It was a first in pageant history. Twitter erupted in anger as people began posting their displeasure at the elimination, stating Miss Jamaica had been "robbed." 


Miss Colombia, Paulina Vega, was awarded the crown. People on Twitter also posted items revealing Wikipedia had updated their website with the winner's name (Miss Colombia Paulina Vega) 15 minutes before the live pageant results were announced on the air, leading people to state the show is rigged. 

 

Many did not display anger at Miss Colombia winning, as she is beautiful as well, but they expressed the view Miss Jamaica should not have placed so low and should have won. Many of the people who made comments on Twitter to that effect are black, white, Hispanic and Asian from a number of countries. The backlash grew so bad, it made global newspapers such as the Washington Post, The Kansas City Star, the Daily Mail (UK) and Inquirer Group (Philippines). It has also featured on a number of global entertainment news programs on television.

 

The Huffington Post stated some area blaming race as a factor in Miss Jamaica's shock exit. The website pointed out only 4 black women have won Miss Universe. The finals of this year's telecast certainly lacked diversity. Miss Jamaica was the only black woman among the 15 finalists, when Miss Haiti and Miss Gabon were beautiful as well.

The news gets worse. According to local news reports, taxpayers in Miami footed the bill for the show and at a loss, not getting the return on said investment. Trump used the Miss Universe pageant to promote his new real estate development in the Miami suburb of Doral. The only problem is, while Doral has a number of lovely homes, it is not a central location in Miami. The most sought after suburb of Miami is Miami Beach, which contains South Beach and is the more popular backdrop for filmed projects.

Twitter Is Upset That Miss Jamaica Didn't Win The Miss Universe Crown

Posted: 01/26/2015 9:35 am EST  - Not everyone is happy for the newly crowned Miss Universe. On Sunday, Miss Colombia Paulina Vega beat out first runner-up Miss USA Nia Sanchez and contestants from more than 80 other countries at the pageant in Miami, Florida. 

However, instead of the usual cheering, the audience booed the judges' decision, making it known that crowd favourite Miss Jamaica Kaci Fennell's fifth place (officially she was fourth runner-up) wasn't good enough. Some people claimed Kaci lost due to her short hair, while others claimed it was due to race. (Only four black women have won the title since the pageant first started in 1952.) 

The stunning brunette had a lot of fans due to her obvious intelligence, her beauty and her "unconventional" pageant style, which included sporting a cute pixie cut instead of the traditional long hair that's typical of most contestants... "I don't have long tresses like everyone else, I'm just representing myself and that's what beauty pageants are all about," said Fennell. "You don't have to look a certain way ... and I feel like I represent that." Kaci also called Usain Bolt, the world's fastest short-distance runner, and the late Bob Marley as her country's greatest contributions to the world.

FBI Picks Seal Fight With Wikipedia Over WikiLeaks

Seal Of Approval

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

The publicly edited encyclopedia, Wikipedia, is being threatened with a lawsuit by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) for using their seal, in one of the site's descriptive entries. The FBI misapplied the law, stating it is federal statute that one must obtain their authorization, before embarking on using their seal, for any purpose.

Said law was enacted to prevent people from posing as FBI agents or affiliates, not speaking or writing freely about the corrupt agency, which is protected by the U.S. Constitution. Anyone with commonsense can ascertain, Wikipedia did not try to pose as an entity affiliated with the FBI or its parent agency, the DOJ (Department of Justice). The FBI thinks too highly of itself and their so-called seal of approval.

The true motive for the incident is, the FBI is looking for any reason to attack Wikipedia, due to the scandal its sister site, Wikileaks, unleashed on the U.S. government, by publishing 90,000 classified documents on the ill-fated war in Afghanistan. This is the manner in which the FBI operates, when they wish to terrorize a target. They invent items to bully the person or entity.

As many of you know, in the summer of 2008, a brutish, ill-tempered, butch, Los Angeles FBI spokeswoman, named Laura Eimiller, lost her ever loving mind and angrily contacted the Judiciary Report, complaining about a comedic article on the site she wanted removed. So much for free press, but the FBI has never been one to follow the law, as attested by their all too frequent appearances in Congress for flagrantly breaking it.

Around that time, the Judiciary Report had used the FBI's seal in published articles, to be representative of the agency. However, once again, as anyone with commonsense should have been able to deduce, the Judiciary Report is not a fan of the FBI. Therefore, no endorsement or affiliation was implied in any measure.

Furthermore, who would want to be affiliated with the agency, many specialists and former FBI agents stated, arranged the assassination of the greatest American ever, Martin Luther King Jr. People only deal with them, because of their congressional mandate to investigate and prosecute federal crimes, making them unavoidable in that respect.

In the summer 2009 lawsuit, Aisha v. FBI, I wrote of the FBI's misconduct in illegally accessing my computers using their spyware CIPAV and copying its contents, due to the UNPUBLISHED political articles written for the Judiciary Report site and other lawful documents of interest to them, when they were supposed to be investigating misconduct I reported to them.

As I know a number of influential people in various walks of life, the FBI took to UNLAWFULLY mining my LAWFUL phone calls, emails and computer contents, for exclusives and tips they sought to use before I did, which is not only unethical, it is illegal conduct the Federal Bureau of Investigation should not be engaging in. There are noted, well-documented incidents of the FBI engaging in this misbehavior.

About two years ago, the Judiciary Report used the FBI's seal in a few articles and noticed that during one of the hacks into my computer that publishes the site, a hacker removed the FBI's seal from the site, which left a big red X, where it should have been displaying. The original copy had the FBI seal, but the version of the site that was transferred, then publish, did not contain it and was the only picture missing.

I put the seal back and it showed temporarily. But then someone hacked the site and removed the seal again. I put the seal back again and once more, someone hacked the site and removed it. The fourth time I put the seal back, the hacker gave up and did not remove it again. Therefore, it is apparent, the FBI has mental issues about people using their seal, using it as an excuse, even going so far as harassing people, whilst twisting the law.
