A 54-year-old man shocked a woman with a homemade stun gun, sexually assaulted her and forced her into a wooden box, police said.

Allen E. Jamroz of rural Mosinee kidnapped the woman on Dec. 28, according to court records. The woman was going to see Jamroz's granddaughter, who was not there at the time, when she was lured into the basement of the house in the town of Guenther.

Jamroz then used a homemade stun gun similar to a Taser to shock the woman to the ground before he duct taped the woman's wrists, ankles and knees, according to court records. He then forced the woman to perform oral sex on him. The woman was able to put a nail she found on a basement floor in her shirt sleeve during the attack, which she later used to help her escape.

Jamroz then put the woman in a wooden box that had a teddy bear, a red blanket, pillows and condoms, according to court records. The woman passed out for an unknown period. She told police she was able to remove the tape with her mouth and use a nail she had concealed earlier to tear the rest of the tape.

Driven by terror threats and a potential Hillary Clinton administration, sales of guns in America soared to record levels in 2016, according to the FBI.

Just released FBI background check numbers, which roughly equate gun sales, totaled some 27,538,673, 4 million more than in 2015 and nearly double the number in President Obama's first year.

The numbers do not include many guns sold to or given to friends and family.

Comment: Not only citizens are buying more guns but branches of the government as well:

A veteran Detroit Police Officer is being investigated for calling residents of the city 'garbage' and for boasting about using physical violence against children.

Officer Daniel Wolff made the inflammatory statements on Facebook under an article published on the Motorcity Muckraker website which revealed that a record number of Detroit police now live outside of the city.

"Getting rid of residency was the best thing that ever happened to the Detroit Police!!! We have to police the garbage but you can't make us live in the garbage," Wolff allegedly said.

Local TV station Fox 2 Detroit captured screengrabs of the offensive remarks, including: "This job is not the same job that it was. It's all videotaped and whatever. You can't walk up to a kid or an a*****e and smack him in the face like we did."

A prestigious UK university has introduced 'trigger warnings' into its theology course over fears students may be distressed when studying the crucifixion of Jesus.

The University of Glasgow introduced the warnings for students taking a class called Creation to Apocalypse: Introduction to the Bible (Level 1).

Popular in US educational institutions, trigger warnings were introduced to warn people about content which may 'trigger' a post-traumatic stress reaction.

However, critics argue they have gone too far and are at risk of making university undergraduates overly sensitive or restricting freedom of speech.

The Telegraph reports that in one lecture about Jesus, the University of Glasgow warned students it "contains graphic scenes of the crucifixion."

A BBC show has sparked controversy online after mocking British women who have travelled to Syria to join the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and marry its fighters.

The Real Housewives of ISIS is a two-minute comedy skit produced as part of BBC 2's new 'Revolting' show, which marks the return of pranksters and comedians Jolyon Rubinstein and Heydon Prowse to British TV.

The sketch was originally published online on Tuesday and quickly gathered millions of views. But many were unhappy with the way the sketch made light of the lives of women living under IS in Iraq and Syria.

In one scene, one of the housewives is seen pondering what to wear for a beheading. Another character, named Hadiya, says: "I'm so glad I've moved over here. It's everything those guys on the chatrooms told me it would be." She is then seen scrubbing the floor of a house bombed to rubble.

Muslim comedy writer Faraz Ali told Al Jazeera: "For the few documented events where young girls, often under 18, have left the UK, there is no doubt this has been a result of dangerous grooming and misguidance."

For the second time, a hacker known as CyberZeist has breached the FBI's website and leaked personal account information to a public site.

On December 22, 2016, CyberZeist, also known as Le4ky, exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the Plone Content Management System (CMS) of the FBI's website, and leaked some of the information to Pastebin, an open source site that is often used by hackers to post stolen information and bits of code.

In the Pastebin leak, the hacker claims that the leak was "totally devoted to the Anonymous Movement."

Italy's Beppe Grillo slams mainstream media's 'manifest manipulation of reality'

"Fake news" has officially crossed the pond and once again it the mainstream media that is producing more of it (while blaming the alternative media). Beppe Grillo, founder of Italy's Five Star anti-euro movement lashed out at the country's journalists for "manufacturing false news," accusing them of fabricating stories to keep the Five Stars down.

"Newspapers and television news programs are the biggest manufacturers of false news in the country, with the aim of ensuring those who have power keep it,"he said on his blog on Tuesday.

As Local.It reports, he called for "a popular jury to determine the veracity of the news published," and said in cases of fake news "the editor must, head bowed, make a public apology and publish the correct version at the start of the program or on the paper's front page".
...the politicians are now demanding stronger measures against bloggers...

[BUT], have never urged punishment for those who commit more serious crimes, lying in absolute bad faith, abusing the credibility of institutions. That lie can not be punished. It is not in the interest of mainstream politicians.

All major newspapers should be closed for manifest manipulation of reality, or obliged to go out with a sticker that certifies the lack of credibility.

Coca-Cola sued over deceptive advertising tactics targeting children and hiding health effects of sugar

Coca-Cola Co. was sued by activists who compare the beverage giant's advertising tactics to the tobacco industry's past efforts in minimizing the health effects of its products and targeting children to replenish the ranks of its customers.

The nonprofit Praxis Project seeks to stop Coke and the Washington-based American Beverage Association from deceptive advertising of sugary drinks, particularly to children, and for the disclosure of documents related to their impact on health. Studies have linked sugary drinks to obesity, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the group said.

The lawsuit comes as drinks' manufacturers seek to fend off regulatory assaults on multiple fronts. The U.K. is pressing ahead with a tax on sugary drinks over the objections of the producers, following the example of France, Mexico and Hungary. In the U.S., cities including San Francisco and Chicago have also introduced taxes on sweet drinks, citing what they say is a disproportionate impact on residents' health.

Praxis, a California nongovernmental organization, is being represented by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, another nonprofit with a long history of litigation targeting the food and beverage industries.

"From the 1950s until the late 1990s, the tobacco industry engaged in an elaborate campaign of disinformation to cast doubt on the science connecting cigarettes to lung cancer and other diseases," Maia Kats, litigation director for the center, said in a statement.

Millions of computer users across the world could be blocked from the internet this year as the global network will shut down for 24 hours, US technology security vendor LogRhythm predicted in December.

The company's chief information security officer and vice president James Carder told Business Insider, it won't just be a technical issue stopping people from uploading their selfies on Instagram.

"In 2017, we're going to see it hit big sometime, somewhere. If the internet goes down, financial markets will tank," he said.


Comment: Or the internet going down as a cover for a financial market breakdown.


Comment: There may be something to this concern: 'Hackers' behind massive DDoS attacks on US sites say they were 'testing' for coming cyberwarfare against Russia

People generally don't like 'catfishers'.

The thought of scammers using fake online profiles to trick innocent people into relationships is pretty grim - especially when they're doing it to steal money from their love-struck prey.

But when the victims are Islamic State jihadis? The catfishers become international heroes.

This week it emerged that three women in Chechnya, a mostly Muslim republic in Russia, allegedly made almost £2,000 by tricking fighters from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) into thinking they were willing to become 'jihadi brides'.

One of the women told Russian tabloid Life News that it all began when a fighter in Syria contacted her on social media, asking her to give up everything for a life with the terror group.
