Posts: 657Canada Free Press: Michael Fumento In Jail In Colombia On Trumped Up Charges.
Canada Free Press reports on Michael Fumento's predicament in Colombia: Iconoclastic journalist and Canada Free Press columnist Michael Fumento is currently being held in atrocious conditions in a Colombian jail on absurdly trumped-up charges. Michael Fumento is the author of numerous books including The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS and The Fat of the Land. More recently he saw combat as an embedded reporter with United States troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of his combat video recordings have been aired on the History Channel.
Michael Fumento's recent troubles began Easter Sunday 1 April when he was attacked on the streets of Bogota by a man armed with a knife. The police arrived and arrested Michael. He was brought before a judge and accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at a house owned by the father of the knife-wielding assailant. The bomb-thrower was described by witnesses only as "a man wearing blue jeans. " Michael was charged with arson and attempted murder. Since that time, he has been held without bail, and denied access to his prescribed medications including clonazepam, a benzodiazepine. Abrupt discontinuation of benzodiazepines has been linked to psychosis, suicidal ideation, status epilepticus seizures, and death. The United States Embassy in Bogota still has not visited him, even though they are required by law to visit any American citizen held in police custody within 48 hours.
In a telephone conversation, shouting to be heard over the din of his fellow prisoners, Michael told me "What I've been through since then would just blow your mind. You've never seen anything like it. Think about the worst prison movie you've ever seen and that's about it. The conditions here are God-awful. "
Last year Congress voted to authorize $391 million in foreign aid to Colombia. For many years now Michael Fumento has been the source of some of the most hard-hitting investigative reporting around, speaking truth to power in an age in which bovine gullibility seems to have become a cardinal virtue, Please take a few minutes to call the US Embassy in Bogota at 011-57-1-275-2000 and ask them to do all they can to help free Michael. Also please call your elected officials and ask them to do the same.

Readers who, instead of calling the US Embassy in Bogota, might be able to contact people in either the State Department or the Trump Administration directly to see if they can inspire action.

Posts: 1042Uber app problem
Does anyone else have a problem with the Uber app shutting off their Android phone? It happens with me quite often. I will be doing something on Uber, and the phone will turn off. Yesterday, I was tracking the driver's arrival when it shut off. When I turned it on, it displayed a message to connect the charger because the battery was low. When I connected the charger, the battery was at 63%. Usually, it will continue to turn off until I connect the charger. The Uber app is the only app that does that, and it happens probably more than 50% of the time.

Posts: 1042Schwab Bank money transfer
In the past, there have been discussions here about the time frame of when money transferred to Schwab is available to withdrawn. I talked to an agent yesterday and got a good explanation. When you are on the Schwab web site and pull money from another bank, it will be four days until the money is ready to withdraw. The reason is they allow one day to complete the transaction, and the other bank has three days after the transfer to void the transfer and reclaim the money. If you are on another bank's web site and you push the money to Schwab, the money is available for withdrawal as soon as it is received. I think that explains the different amount of days experienced by previous posters. Now that I know that, I will push from my bank to Schwab. For the first transfer, they have to do a test transfer which may take a couple of days.

Posts: 640Suggestion about uber
If you book uber somewhere near clubs entry or next to many other taxi drivers or somewhere on street where have police try to make pick up point not so close to them because driver will see this things when he will be arriving and will cancel the trip. It happens for me at medellin next to fase doss 2 drivers cancel the trips when they was near me already and last night at santa fe next to the paisas club driver was almost near paisas and suddenly cancel the trip because it was many taxi drivers around and police.

And like you said, a taxi guy will most likely take you to the place he has dropped guys before, if you ask him to take you to one, and dont specify.

You're right, I don't know. I've only been to a casa in a taxi one time. Now I take the the metro and walk. But if the driver doesn't get out of the taxi and has no contact with the casa, it doesn't seem likely they're getting a commission.

Whenever I bring new people to a spot I tell the manager that I am only here to bring these guys. Where is my tip? Here in Thailand the guy said I am supposed to tell the guys that I am bringing that it costs more than it does then they will give me back the overage. In the Dominican Republic the guy said if the guys that I brought each got a session then I could get a free one.

I was driving home alone around midnight after a dinner in town with some friends when suddenly another car was driving very close to mine with a guy in the driver's seat and one girl sitting on the car's front door with her naked ass protruding and asking me to pull over.
Another one on the back seat with her legs open fingering her pussy and sucking her finger afterwards. It was too obvious but before accelerating I had time to take a good look. The girl on the back seat was really hot.
At that time Caracas was already one of the most dangerous cities in the world. If I had stopped - and I felt tempted to - I wouldn't probably be here now to tell the story.

The only time a taxi driver suggested another place, a buddy and I were heading to Aiffe and he suggested New Life. He didn't know the name, just the blue door. We ended up at New Life anyway as the lineup at Aiffe wasn't anything special that day.
I doubt if any of the casas give a commission. Usually, if you tell the driver you're looking for chicas he'll suggest the place he takes the most people to.
I have seen a girl riding around in the back of a taxi trying to get guys to get in with her. That looked a bit risky to me. Otherwise, I haven't had or seen any issues with taxis.

I have had zero issues with cabs in Medellin except once where he offered to sell me cocaine. When we got to our destination I realized I only had 50 k and when I gave it to him he claimed he I gave him 5 k. I let that shit pass as I was getting a really bad feeling about the situation.

I have heard of taxi drivers getting a commission from some of the expensive strip clubs and casas, but I don't know if it is true. There are so few of the expensive clubs, and in different parts of the city, that you should know if you're at the correct one.
