Police breakup doomsday cult in the Dominican Republic
Caribbean360October 22, 2012


SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Monday, October 22, 2012 — A judge has ordered a year-long detention for the German leader of a doomsday sect that believes in aliens while Dominican authorities investigate why he had a gun arsenal at his house that police discovered after a deadly, hour-long shootout.

Police arrested Peter Brunck, 61, of Meisenheim, Germany, his son Daniel Brunck and Isabella Dietrich after a shoot-out last Wednesday that injured three officers and resulted in the death of another German man, Peter Demetrick. They could remain in police custody for up to a year while investigations proceed.

The gunbattle occurred at Brunck’s house in an upscale residential community in the popular tourist town of Sosua. Police said Brunck apparently is leader of the “Academy for Future Health” sect, going by the title “cosmic teacher” and promising mental salvation and treatment for various illnesses.

Police said they discovered several rifles, grenades and professional crossbows with scopes along with seven bulletproof vests, a bulletproof car and an ambulance inside Brunck’s house.

A video shot by police Wednesday shows officers touring the house and seizing weapons, including an automatic rifle leaning against a wall behind a dream catcher.

General Prosecutor Francisco Dominguez said police are still investigating why Brunck had such an arsenal and whether the weapons were tied to the sect in any way.

Police also raided nearby homes inhabited mostly by German natives, police spokesman Diego Pesqueira told The Associated Press. It was unclear whether any other items were seized.

Officials with the Ministry of the Interior and Police, the agency responsible for issuing weapon permits, said they did not know Brunck had a shooting range.
Police said Brunck has lived in Sosua since 2006.

According to the sect’s website, he traveled frequently to western Europe to give dozens of seminars, charging up to $650 per person for certain presentations. Brunck warned followers about the end of the world and talked about the possibility of a “galactic super electromagnetic wave” that could destroy all communication on Earth, as well as a potential shift in polarity that could bring a new ice age in Europe or result in sea levels rising by nearly 200 feet (60 meters).

Brunck also has said he believes there are 68 varieties of aliens, and he espoused certain therapies he believed could cure ailments ranging from cancer to multiple sclerosis.

Police later seized rifles, grenades and crossbows in the exclusive neighbourhood in the seaside town popular with German immigrants.

Brito said they had found “many weapons” and other items that he said he could not release details about.

Prosecutors have described the sect as “very dangerous”, saying that initial investigations showed it had links to a number of European countries.

AFFH



HUD Rule on Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released a final rule to equip communities that receive HUD funding with the data and tools that will help them to meet long-standing fair housing obligations in their use of HUD funds. HUD will provide publicly open data for grantees to use to assess the state of fair housing within their communities and to set locally-determined priorities and goals. The rule responds to recommendations of the Government Accountability Office and stakeholders for HUD to enhance its fair housing planning obligations by providing greater clarity and support to jurisdictions receiving HUD funding, and facilitating local decision-making on fair housing priorities and goals.

For more than forty years, HUD funding recipients have been obligated by law to reduce barriers to fair housing. Established in the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the law directs HUD and its program participants to affirmatively further the Act’s goals of promoting fair housing and equal opportunity. The final rule on affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) aims to provide all HUD grantees with clear guidelines and the data that will help them to achieve those goals, because no child’s ZIP code should determine her opportunity to achieve.

HUD’s rule clarifies and simplifies existing fair housing obligations for HUD grantees to analyze their fair housing landscape and set locally-determined fair housing priorities and goals through an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). To aid communities in this work, HUD will provide open data to grantees and the public on patterns of integration and segregation, racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disproportionate housing needs, and disparities in access to opportunity. This improved approach provides a better mechanism for HUD grantees to build fair housing goals into their existing community development and housing planning processes. In addition to providing data and maps, HUD will also provide technical assistance to aid grantees as they adopt this approach.

Thanks Z, hard to copy and paste from my phone.

Damn Germans....

That's what I heard... and Obama phones too....

You got that a little mixed up Gene. See, until the carpetbagger developers paid off local hick politicians to suck up to their agenda 21 utopian society BS, most "Southern" neighborhoods looked like 2.5K sq.ft. brick ranch homes on acre lots. With beautiful fescue lawns. Lots of mature trees between each lot and many more spread around each lot.

Now these sonsabitches started 20 years ago paying off small, poor counties to re-zone undeveloped land parcels into ridiculously high densities and uncompatible zoning classes which allow for noxious businesses to lawfully cuddle up to mature rural developments. They began clear-cutting 50-100 acre tracts and planting crappy 1000 sq. ft. siding homes, and shove them in 4 to an acre. Postage stamp sized driveways and picnic blanket sized sodded "yards". Turn in and all you see is a sea of ugly black clone mailboxes.

Funny, but it reminds me exactly of how the neighborhoods look up north. Southern developers would have been chased out of their own towns had they built like that back then. Some were when this crap started. I laugh every time I see one built and realize there are people actually willing to pay to live like that, but maybe those people came from up there somewhere to begin with, I dunno. I do know if people would stop buying them, the developers would stop building them.

The latest development craze (crazy?) is to build a crappy little strip mall, and put living spaces above them. Slap a stacked stone facing on them with a few bushes and some picnic blanket lawn in front of a tiny asphalt parking lot and ask 400K to live over a junk store. Mixed use my azz, they're eyesores. Agenda 21 eyesores.

Its criminal.
