A former north Alabama volunteer soccer coach already facing a 30-year sentence on human trafficking charges has pleaded guilty to producing child pornography in a neighboring county.

Multiple news outlets reported Monday that 59-year-old David Jacob Barrow was given a 30-year sentence in Marshall County, which will run concurrent with a 30-year sentence he was given last week in Madison County.

Barrow admitted to filming girls inside restrooms at Guntersville High School and at the school's soccer field. He was arrested during a 2014 state soccer tournament.

Barrow was accused in Madison County of taking naked pictures of a young girl and paying 30-year-old Kristian Danette Griffin in cash and drugs to bring two 10-year-old girls to his house.

Griffin has also been sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to lie down in a chamber in the moments before your cremation? Well, now you can. It's probably not for the faint-hearted, but an attraction in Shanghai is offering people the chance to 'experience death and rebirth'.

They lie down in a mock-up cremation chamber as simulated flames pass over them. Participants then make their way through a small circular hole to experience 'rebirth' and join their friends. One person who took part in the simulation in the Chinese city was Lu Siwei.

He said: "This is a really interesting feeling. It at least gives you the chance to calm down, and brings you back to earth to think about some of life's problems. I think this (feeling) is different.

"When you walk through that door, you will experience some changes in your mentality, and it will be different from what it was before you entered.

"I think this is really great, and very worthwhile."

March gun sales break records yet again for 11 straight record-setting months

Gun sales broke records yet again in the month of March.

The FBI performed 2,523,265 firearms-related background checks between March 1 and March 31, according to the agency's records. That's a new record for the month. It's nearly 35,000 more checks than the previous record set in March 2014.

Despite the new record, March saw the fewest checks of any month so far in 2016.

The March record is the eleventh straight monthly record for background checks. The unprecedented streak, which began in May 2015, has included all-time records for both monthly and yearly sales. With 7,682,141 checks processed through the FBI's National Instant Background Check System, 2016 is currently on pace to set another all time yearly sales record.

FBI background checks are widely considered a reliable gauge for gun sales because all sales conducted through federally licensed firearms dealers must include one. Some states also require private sales between non-dealers to include a background check. However, many states do not.

Many states also require FBI background checks as a part of the process for obtaining a gun carry permit. The FBI does not consider background checks a perfect record for the exact number of guns sold each month. "Based on varying state laws and purchase scenarios, a one-to-one correlation cannot be made between a firearm background check and a firearm sale," the agency noted on their background check report.

The sustained gun sales records coincide with increasingly aggressive gun control rhetoric from many Democrats, including President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

On March 13, after not being able to find her 12-year-old son for an extended period, Amy Olzak called the Idaho Falls Police Department to report him missing. Instead of helping her son, however, according to Olzak and multiple witnesses, the officer who responded brutally attacked this young boy.

"I just wanted them to help me find where he was," said Olzak. Ironically, this would never happen.

After spending all day looking for him with friends, Olzak finally located her son. Olzak then called the police to inform them that she no longer needed their services. However, police were not done yet.

"I just wanted them to be aware. They came over. I talked to an officer for a minute, and he walked over to my son. Then he put my son's hand behind his back and like lifted him up in the air and slammed his face into the trunk of a car," said Olzak.
The car belongs to Olzak's friend, Courtney Beck, who also witnessed the officer attack this child.

"He put his arm behind his back and his head into the back of trunk hard enough that it chipped his tooth and then placed him under arrest," said Beck. There was "absolutely no reason for it," she added. Another witness Jessica Bowles said she was in awe as she watched a full grown male police officer attack a small child. "I walked up closer and saw a chipped tooth, blood, and two fats lips," said Bowles.


Comment: Whatever the police do, they don't often suffer the consequences. As a result, they have become more bold with their violence. Violence, a celebrated ideal in the U.S., has become the new normal for kids living in a police state.

Undaunted by sanctions, investors from Italy have arrived to Crimea in search of 500 hectares of land to create an agro industrial park on the peninsula.

The businessmen are interested in building greenhouses and develop wine growing, livestock breeding and processing agricultural goods.

"We are here because Crimea really needs to be developed. The climate here is similar to what they have in Tunisia. That's why we would like to grow here the same products we cultivate in Tunisia. We want to create a 500 hectare agro industrial park in Crimea," said Francesco Lo Ludice, a member of the delegation after a meeting with Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Ruslan Balbek.

Comment: Crimea has done well since its reunification with Russia; the economy is thriving and Russian support has enabled it to develop its industries, making it an inviting country for foreign investors.

Record numbers of Japanese dying from overwork as greedy employers squeeze the life out of them

japan death overwork
Japan is witnessing a record number of compensation claims related to death from overwork, or "karoshi", a phenomenon previously associated with the long-suffering "salary man" that is increasingly afflicting young and female employees.

Labor demand, with 1.28 jobs per applicant, is the highest since 1991, which should help Prime Minister Shinzo Abe draw more people into the workforce to counter the effect of a shrinking population, but lax enforcement of labor laws means some businesses are simply squeezing more out of employees, sometimes with tragic consequences.

Claims for compensation for karoshi rose to a record high of 1,456 in the year to end-March 2015, according to labor ministry data, with cases concentrated in healthcare, social services, shipping and construction, which are all facing chronic worker shortages.

Hiroshi Kawahito, secretary general of the National Defense Counsel for Victims of karoshi, said the real number was probably 10 times higher, as the government is reluctant to recognize such incidents.

A sign of the times: Depressing survey results show how extremely stupid America has become

No thinking
Ten years ago, a major Hollywood film entitled Idiocracy was released, and it was an excellent metaphor for what would happen to America over the course of the next decade. In the movie, an "average American" wakes up 500 years in the future only to discover that he is the most intelligent person by far in the "dumbed down" society that he suddenly finds himself in. Sadly, I truly believe that if people of average intellect from the 1950s and 1960s were transported to 2016, they would likely be considered mental giants compared to the rest of us. We have a country where criminals are being paid $1000 a month not to shoot people, and the highest paid public employee in more than half the states is a football coach. Hardly anyone takes time to read a book anymore, and yet the average American spends 302 minutes a day watching television. 75 percent of our young adults cannot find Israel on a map of the Middle East, but they sure know how to find smut on the Internet. It may be hard to believe, but there are more than 4 million adult websites on the Internet today, and they get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined.

Response to the 'American slave system': National prison strike campaign planned for next September

Franklin & Armfield’s Slave Prison
© American Anti-Slavery SocietyOriginal caption (1836): “Franklin & Armfield’s Slave Prison.” Franklin & Armfield was a Virginia slave trading firm.
Starting Sept. 9, prisoners in the United States will begin a coordinated effort to shut down prisons across the country. They plan to stop working in correctional institutions. Without prisoners doing their jobs, these facilities cannot be run. According to Support Prisoner Resistance, the nationwide prisoner work stoppage will serve as a protest against prison slavery, the school-to-prison pipeline, police terror and post-release controls.

Prisoners organizing the strike are not making demands or requests in the usual sense. They are calling themselves to action in a planned protest and want every prisoner in every state and federal institution across America to "stop being a slave."

Some people may bristle at the notion that prisoners are slaves, but they are forced to work for little or no pay. The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery, also maintains a legal exception for continued slavery in prisons. It states "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States."
