Trump invites four of Bill Clinton 'sex victims' to the debate.
Donald Trump took four of the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault to the debate on Sunday. Before Sunday night's debate against Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump allowed reporters to interview the victims, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathy Shelton and Paula Jones – in St. Louis.
Broaddrick, an Arkansas nursing home administrator who has accused Bill Clinton of forcibly raping her when he was the state's attorney general, said that 'actions speak louder than words.'
'Mr. Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me. And Hillary Clinton threatened me. I don't think there's any comparison.'
Shelton who was raped at the age of 12 by a man whom Hillary Clinton defended in court was also present. She said:
'At 12 years old Hillary put me through something that you would never put a 12-year-old through.'
'And she says she's for women and children. And she was asked last year what happened, and she said she's supposed to defend [clients] whether they did it or not. Now she's laughing on tape, saying she –' Shelton, who became overcome with emotion, stopped speaking..
Then Trump said: 'You went through a lot'.
Shelton respoinded: 'Yes sir, I did,' she answered.
The on Twitter she said:
'I may be Hillary Clinton’s 1st female victim. She ruined my life; defended my rapist & blamed me. I was 12 yrs old. Then she laughed at me,' one message read. 'I don’t care if Trump said gross things. I care that Hillary Clinton lied, terrorized, & mocked me, defending my rapist,' she added.
Paula Jones, who won an $800,000 lawsuit settlement after accusing Bill Clinton of sexual harassment, was also present.
Kathleen Willey, who accused Bill Clinton of allegedly groping her in a room near the Oval Office in1993, was also present. She said she was having a private meeting with Clinton when he embraced her, kissed her on the mouth, grabbed her breast and put her hand on his crotch.
She said:
"I just remember thinking, 'What in the world is he doing?'" Willey said. "I was just startled."
She said she had a meeting with Clinton to ask for a paying job because her husband was having financial problems and facing legal troubles.
Unfortunately, her husband, Ed Willey, killed himself that same day of the meeting, though neither Kathleen Willey or the president or the president knew about it at the time.
Reporters in the room listened patiently to the four women indict the Clintons. As soon as they were done, reporter started hammering Donald Trump with questions about the sex audio tape.
Questions:
'Does your star power allow you to touch women without their consent?' demanded a Wall Street Journal writer.
'Did you touch the women without their consent?' asked the Associated Press. 'Why did you say you touched women without their consent, Mr. Trump?' asked a CBS News journalist.
The questions annoyed Paula Jones who exploded and said:
'Why don't y'all go ask Bill Clinton that?' she exclaimed. 'Go ahead, ask Hillary as well!'

Credit card with fraud-busting display
By Jane WakefieldTechnology reporter
9 October 2016
From Technology.
A credit card with a digital display that randomly generates a security code is being launched as a way of combating fraud.
Oberthur Technologies is currently in discussions with UK banks about rolling out the technology and will have cards "in the hands" of consumers in France by the end of the year.
Credit card fraud costs banks millions of pounds each year.
One expert said a different design for credit cards was overdue.
"In some ways, it's surprising it has taken so long for this to appear," Prof Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert from Surrey University, told the BBC.
The card provides an extra layer of security by replacing the static printed three-digit security code on the back of the card with a mini screen which displays a random code that changes automatically every hour.
It is powered by a thin lithium battery designed to last for three years.
"The technology has existed for some time so now it will be a case of persuading card processors that it is worth doing," said Prof Woodward.
"It may be costly for card operators as some extra infrastructure will be required to ensure our cards stay synchronised with the operator, but it happens already for many banks with the dongles they issue for login."
One drawback of the card is that customers will no longer be able to memorise their security code and will need to check the card every time they want to make an online purchase.
French banks Societe Generale and Groupe BPCE are preparing to roll the cards out to customers, following a pilot scheme last year and there are also pilot schemes in Mexico and Poland.
According to the UK's Financial Fraud Action, credit card fraud in the UK totalled £755m in 2015 and the Office for National Statistics said that there were 20,255 victims.
There are several ways that fraudsters get hold of credit card details - from the online theft of data to skimmers that are attached to cash machines.
Skimmers - often homemade devices - that are attached to a cash machine, can steal information from the card's magnetic strip and pin code with the help of a fake ATM pin pad or web camera.
Over time, the design has become more sophisticated with the advent of so-called shimmers - that are able to gather information from the card's chip. Scammers are also now able to inject malware directly into cash machines
In response, banks are working on new authentication solutions, based on biometrics - regarded as a more secure way to identify customers.
But a recent study from security firm Kaspersky Labs suggests that cybercriminals are already planning to exploit these new technologies.
It found at least 12 sellers offering skimmers capable of stealing victims' fingerprints. Other underground sellers are already researching devices that could obtain data from palm, vein and iris recognition systems.
David Emm, principal security researcher at Kaspersky, said the Motion Code card would "reduce the window of opportunity" for a thief with a stolen card but added it would be a stronger proposition if the security code was generated on "another device".
"Banks should consider applying a multitude of cybersecurity solutions to minimise unauthorised access to such information," he said.
"Consumers must also be aware of their digital footprint, installing security updates promptly, using strong and unique passwords, applying caution when using public wi-fi networks and not revealing too much information about ourselves online."
League trophy: How Mbaka’s prayers helped Rangers break 32 years jinx
— 8th October 2016
•He even gave us N10m –Enugu Commissioner
From Petrus Obi, Enugu
At the beginning of this season, Rangers FC of Enugu, after 32 years without any premier league trophy, decided to present their predicament to God. They visited the Adoration ground in Emene where fiery Catholic Priest Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka prayed for them.
Having lifted the trophy last Sunday after a resounding 4-0 victory over visiting Elkanemi Warriors of Maiduguri, the team led by the State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Hon. Ndukwe Charles Chuka did not forget their vow to God as they returned to the Adoration ground with thanksgiving.
Chairman of the Enugu Football Association Chief Chidi Ofo Okenwa said “it’s all about commitment; it’s all about promise made, promise kept; it’s about the fact that we went to the altar of grace in the beginning of the season and we told God that if we emerge victorious we would return to give Him praises, glory, honour and adoration.
“At the beginning of the season, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka told us the things we needed to do; he said, dedication, hard work, and seeking the face of the Lord always would see us through. So we decided to go back to that very church to thank God. And if you have followed the series of things that transpired during the year, you will appreciate that actually Rangers won the trophy four times and dropped it four times; and the fifth time we rightly can say, we have found it.
“I can tell you that the hand of God is in everything Rangers has done this season; and Enugu is in the hands of God. Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in the year 2016 has been christened The Cathedral; and what do people do in the cathedral; they worship. And on that fateful day, the match day, the people of God, all lovers of Rangers congregated at the cathedral and worshipped God and God heard their prayers and delivered the trophy to us.”
The Commissioner for Youths and Sports Charles Chuka explained that the visit was not actually to see Fr. Mbaka; “we went to Adoration Ministry to tell God that what we have been asking Him to do for us He has done it. And before the Match we had with Enyimba that was before March, we had to go there with the whole team. First of all I went there on my own and after discussing with Fr. Mbaka I told him the team was coming there. We went there he prayed for us, anointed all the players; incidentally as we were going for that match, I don’t know what happened; maybe something touched him; he went to the express and was looking for them. He had to meet them on the road; gave them money to eat and they went on. Remember that match, it was a very tough one and we got a draw. If we had lost that match it would have been bad for us; so we needed at least a draw. So God did that for us and sustained us. I also remember one thing; each time we have a very crucial match; in fact the last four matches we played, his boys will be calling me to say that father is inside the chapel and would not come out until the match is over; they will keep asking to know when the game is over. After the match Fr. Mbaka will still call at night and say ‘we thank God for everything.’ So we took it upon ourselves and said that if God gives us the trophy we would go and thank him; that’s what we did; we went with a cow and he then hosted us and gave us N10m. He also gave a decoder, each to all the players.
The commissioner noted that Mbaka has always been with the team; “during our visit he said there was a federations cup final they were playing outside Enugu and he went with them. He got there and so many things were happening; people were doing some fetish things and he took his bags and left; they lost that match 2-0. He considered attending the last match but to avoid a stampede, should his followers surge to see him. But he urged his entire congregation to go for the match and to pray for Rangers.”
The commissioner attributed the victory to God, saying; “even the people who contested against us… the commissioner in Rivers State called me and said, this is an act of God. Even on the day we were playing Ikorodu FC at Abeokuta the Rivers State Commissioner for Sports left his match against Akwa United and came for that match. If it were for money some teams like Ifeanyi Ubah would have carried the trophy. So for us it is God and Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi who did all manner of motivation; there are things we may not see that he may have also done too. He was a morale booster and spurred the boys on until victory was achieved.”
