While watching coverage of the attempted abduction of a 14 year-old Jewish girl in Brooklyn, I noticed some curious changes in the coverage of the story by a couple of Orthodox Jewish news web sites.
When the story broke that there was an abduction attempt, Failedmessiah.com and vosizneias.com both put out alerts that a crime had taken place.
Here is a cached version of Failedmessiah’s original abduction bulletin:
VIN still has their initial story on their web site: http://www.vosizneias.com/230845/2016/02/17/brooklyn-ny-orthodox-girl-flees-from-attempted-luring-councilman-calls-on-da-to-show-no-mercy-once-suspect-is-caught/
In the days following the abduction, NYPD released an enhanced photo of the suspect. Both sites published it. And the photograph was clear enough to identify the Orthodox Jewish abduction suspect. Here is the photograph:
Here is a screenshot of Failedmessiah’s coverage:
And here is the same story on vosizneias.com:
But It didn’t take long before both web sites removed their stories that included the photograph. So, what happened?
Apparently the identity of the suspect rapidly became known in the Jewish community where the alleged crime took place. The suspect is the son of a yeshiva principal and grandson of an influential rabbi. And covering-up for the suspect, instead of supporting the victim, became the priority of the day for the local Jewish community.
As mentioned in my previous post, according to NY Daily News, the 14 year-old Brooklyn girl who was the victim of the attempted abduction chose not to cooperate with police after receiving pressure from her local Orthodox Jewish community.
Covering-up the identity of the suspect became a priority for Orthodox Jewish “news” sites reporting on the attempted abduction as well. Both Failedmessiah.com and vosizneias.com removed their stories containing the enhanced photograph.
Unfortunately, in the Orthodox Jewish world (as in other communities) this is a common occurrence. Prominent and influential people use money and/or threats to cover-up their actions and get away with crimes. To the common law-abiding individual with a moral compass this is shameful and disgusting. It is even more so when the group in question claims to be on a moral high ground, represent Torah values, claim religious piety, and to have allegiance to God.
On February 3, 2016 an unknown, semi-literate individual or group calling itself “Diversified Holdings” took over the Failedmessiah.com web site from its previous owner, Shmarya (Scott) Rosenberg. Part of their stated mission was:
We are a group of people dedicated to protecting the reputation of the Orthodox Jewish community.
A community that keeps to our tradition, and sets our standards high to protect the sanctity of G-d’s name. This can be accomplished in two ways.
Firstly, we will present articles and conversations that speak to what Hashem truly wants from us.
Seriously? Is this what they think God truly wants from us?! Do they think God wants attempted abduction cover-ups? Do they think God wants us to spare influential members of the Jewish community from embarrassment when they attempt or commit crimes? Do they think that God wants sex offenders roaming freely in our communities? Do they think God wants victims of their crimes to suffer without justice? Do they think God wants them to LIE to their readers?
Secondly, we will continue to pursue and expose people that create a desecration of G-d’s name.
If so, they have a very SICK and DEMENTED concept of Torah values and what God wants.
Sadly, they had enough money to buy out the once informative Failedmessiah web site and push their cover-up agenda. If they cared about God, Torah, and the truth then their web site banner would look more like this:
Money talks, and at Failedmessiah.com, God’s truth walks.
I thought this picture gallery of evidence from the ‘get’ kidnap trial would interest people !

Well of course they withdrew the accusation. When they found out the perpetrator had such a distinguished pedigree, they realized the victim was obviously in the wrong. No man with such ancestors could possibly be a criminal, it’s just inconceivable.

I remember back in the mid to late 80s (was it?) when the local weekly Brooklyn newspaper (Sunset Press or something like it, Bay News maybe) had a front page story about a couple of Hatzolah members getting caught in a sting on 4 Ave propositioning hookers, who were really undercover policewomen). I bought a copy and showed a friend of mine who was a Hatzolah member. He thanked me. I went back to buy a copy for him and wanted to tell my other friends about it, but Hatzolah bought all the copies in all the Boro Park newspaper stores to get it out of the public circulation. BTW, those 2 Hatzolah members were married, my friend told me. Just think about all of the diseases you could possibly get if 1 of those 2 Hatzolah members tried to save your life only to give you the gift that keeps on giving. Yuck!

The new owners at FM have destroyed the site’s reputation in a few short days.
They are now a part of the problem, no longer a part of the solution.

I know the boy in the picture and he is neither the son of a Rabbi nor the Grandson of a Rabbi. He was walking with his girlfriend, which is taboo in orthodox circles, and when she saw her mother approaching he ran away and she made up this elaborate story. It is very clear that she fabricated the event because she reported her attacker to be Hispanic man in his 40’s when it is clear as day that he is a Jewish young man.

Can you backup your claim? News reports appear to disagree.
I don’t recall the initial bulletin describing a Hispanic man.
