FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Paul Douglas Peters, the accused hoax collar bomb extortionist, has been extradited under guard back to Australia as a “person of interest”.
Police showed an extra-special interest in the 50-year-old investment banker when he arrived in Sydney from Los Angeles aboard a Qantas jet on Saturday.
As many as 30 officers were dispatched to Sydney airport to meet the man accused of putting a fake collar bomb on Sydney schoolgirl Madeleine Pulver in a failed extortion attempt.
Peters arrived on Qantas flight QF12 just after 6.30am (AEST).
He was to have appeared in Parramatta Bail Court later in the morning via audio visual link, but magistrate Paul Lyon did not require his presence.
Solicitor Kathy Crittenden represented Peters during the brief session and said her client did not want to apply for bail, which was formally refused.
Mr Lyon scheduled the matter next for Central Local Court in Sydney’s CBD on November 17, remanding Peters in custody until then.
Meanwhile, NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione has told reporters that everyone should keep an open mind.
“The fact that we’ve been able to bring this person of interest home has been a most important stage, I would think, in the process,” Mr Scipione said.
“But as this particular person of interest appears in court, we need to simply let courts get on with the job. We don’t need to be speculating.”
Madeleine’s father, Bill Pulver, said his family would soon have to relive the night of August 3 when someone broke into their luxurious Mosman home on Sydney’s north shore and subjected his 18-year-old daughter to 10 hours of terror.
“It’s a slightly strange feeling to see him coming back into the country,” Mr Pulver told reporters outside the family home on Saturday.
“It’s an important step in the process to move this thing through the courts.”
Mr Pulver said Madeleine was doing a “stellar job” preparing for her Higher School Certificate, with the exams starting in four weeks.
He said he was unsure if the family would attend any court proceedings.
“We are just sitting back and watching things just like everybody else,” he said.
Aboard the flight which brought Peters to Sydney, Alex Price and his girlfriend, Megan Gregory, were seated in the last row of the Qantas Airbus A380, across the aisle from the prisoner and the two NSW officers who escorted him back to Australia.
Peters sat in the window seat, didn’t eat and was escorted by the officers when visiting the lavatory.
“I wouldn’t be hungry either if I was in his position,” Mr Price told reporters at the airport.
When the plane landed, up to 30 uniform and plain-clothes officers boarded it or lined the apron of the runway.
“It definitely was a different flight,” Mr Price said.
Another passenger who asked not to be named said Peters did not draw any attention to himself.
“He was very calmly composed and was not making contact with anyone,” the woman told AAP.
Police drove Peters from the airport to the Sydney Police Centre in Surry Hills, where he was formally charged with specially aggravated break enter and commit serious indictable offence, demanding money by force and detaining a person with intent to hold for ransom.
Detective-Superintendent Luke Moore, who heads the Robbery and Serious Crimes Squad, led the investigation.
“I have great admiration for Madeleine Pulver and her family for the way they have dealt with this matter and what has been obviously a very traumatic time of their lives,” Det-Supt Luke Moore told reporters in Sydney.
His officers escorted Peters on the flight and he praised authorities in NSW and the US for their efforts in locating and apprehending Peters and detaining him until his extradition.
“The job is far from done and the courts will now make their determination,” Supt Moore said.
“I am very pleased that we have been able to bring this matter to where we are today relatively swiftly.”
Peters spent five weeks locked up in Oldham County Jail, in Louisville, Kentucky, after an FBI SWAT team arrested him at his ex-wife’s home in nearby La Grange on August 16.
Peters allegedly broke into the Pulver family home and found Madeleine in her bedroom studying for a trial HSC exam.
Peters was said to be carrying a black aluminium baseball bat, wore a balaclava and attached a “black box” around Madeleine’s neck, according to authorities.
A note left at the scene warned the device contained “plastic explosives”, but after a terrifying 10 hours, bomb squad officers confirmed it was not a bomb.
