Children in the for-profit foster care system are dying at alarming rates, but the deaths are not being investigated, and autopsies are not even being attached to the now-closed case files, a two-year investigation has found.

The investigation, conducted and released in rare bipartisan fashion by the Senate Finance Committee, looked closely at one of the largest private providers of foster care services, the MENTOR Network.

The companies and agencies charged with keeping foster children safe often failed to provide the most basic protections or take steps to prevent tragedies, the investigation found.

The spread of internet use in Southeast Asia is fueling the creation and spread of child exploitation - and experts are warning that children are being coerced into creating the material themselves.

Internet availability across Southeast Asia currently sits at about 50 percent, according to a recent study. However, in the Philippines and Thailand, countries where sexual abuse is a significant problem, the rate reaches 58 percent and 67 percent respectively, Reuters reports.

Jon Rouse of Taskforce Argos, an Australian police unit that targets online child abuse networks, said that the problem of child porn is only going to get bigger.

Demented Slovenian 'artist' who breast-fed dog and fertilized one of her eggs with a dog cell wins award

Maja Smrekar crazy woman

Demented 'artist' Maja Smrekar spent 112 days secluded with dogs that she breastfed. It's 'art' supposedly
A Slovenian "artist" breastfed her dogs and fertilized one of her eggs with a dog cell as part of an award-winning three-month art project.

Maja Smrekar lived in seclusion with her dogs as part of the lengthy artistic experiment, which was titled "K-9_topology."

During that time, she triggered her body to produce breast milk by systematic breast pumping. She then breastfed her puppy Ada to explore "the social and ideological instrumentalization of the female body and breastfeeding."


Comment: The only thing this poor woman is 'exploring' is her own disordered psychological makeup. In a sane society, she would be deemed in need of psychological help. In our 'modern' society, she wins awards and is emulated.


Smrekar also took a fat cell from another dog, Byron, and used it to fertilize one of her eggs using a method similar to IVF. The fat cell was a non-sexual cell, so no dog's sperm was used in the project.

Sick Modern 'Art' Depicting Bestiality Installed Near Paris Louvre

Sick Bestiality art Louvre

The psychological inner landscape of deranged person presented as 'art'.
The controversial "Domestikator" sculpture, which many say appears to depict a human being performing a sex act on a four-legged animal, has found a new home after being deemed too "provocative" and "risque" by the Louvre.

The large walk-through sculpture was created by Dutch artist Joep Van Lieshout. It houses several smaller sculptures and a bed and was set to be installed in the Tuileries Gardens, near the Louvre, but the famous French gallery decided that it risked "being misunderstood by the visitors to the gardens."


Comment: What's to misunderstand? This is a crude and ugly manifestation of the inner workings of a deranged Dutch person.


Domestikator will instead be housed very close to the Louvre at the Pompidou Centre Museum.

Nationwide human trafficking busts captured cops and high-level military, and more than 80 children were rescued, one of whom was only 3-months old.

Multiple undercover sting operations across the United States were carried out this month targeting adult and child sex trafficking. The results of many of these stings netted hundreds of arrests-including doctors, pharmacists, high-level military officers, and law enforcement officers. Dozens of children were also rescued - including one as young as three months old.

"That's the most we have ever arrested in the history of the sheriff's office," Sheriff Grady Judd said of his undercover operation in Polk County, Florida.

The sheriff is referring to the 277 people rounded up in "Operation No Tricks, No Treats" which started last Tuesday and ran through Monday.

According to the sheriff's office, as reported by WFLA, 51 of the arrests were related to those who advertise as prostitutes online and 209 of the arrests were those who solicited undercover detectives posing as prostitutes. Seventeen arrests were made for other offenses.

The sheriff noted that the arrests included lawyers, doctors, pharmacists, former and current police officers, multiple men looking to have sex with children, and convicted sex offenders.

The hotel security guard injured by the Las Vegas gunman has broken his silence about the October 1 shooting that killed 58 people. He previously sparked national interest by disappearing from public view ahead of several scheduled TV interviews.

In a pre-recorded interview that aired Wednesday, Jesus Campos told Ellen DeGeneres that he had trouble reaching the shooter's floor to inspect a door that was left ajar on the night of the shooting.

"There was a metal bracket holding the door in place," Campos said, describing how he was blocked trying to enter the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel from a stairwell right next to the room rented by Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock. "That was just out of the ordinary. It's not normal."

Campos is speaking for the first time in public after being interviewed by police. He was shot in the thigh by Paddock, who killed 58 people and injured 546 others gathered at a country music concert, in the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

People protest against the imprisonment of leaders of two of the largest Catalan separatist organizations, Catalan National Assembly's Jordi Sanchez and Omnium's Jordi Cuixart, who were jailed by Spain's High Court, in Barcelona, Spain October 17, 2017.
Catalans took to the street of Barcelona for a candlelit march in support of the two leaders of the separatist movement who were detained by the central Spanish authorities on suspicion of sedition in the aftermath of the independence referendum, deemed illegal by Madrid.

Tens of thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Barcelona on Tuesday evening to show support for Jordi Sanchez, leader of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC), and Jordi Cuixart, of the Omnium cultural association, who were detained on the orders of Spain's High Court.

The protesters demanded that the central Spanish government release the men, who they referred to as "political prisoners." Sanchez and Cuixart were remanded in custody without bail on Monday.

The Governor of Florida Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency in Alachua County. The announcement comes ahead of a speech at the University of Florida by prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Spencer - who takes credit for coining the term 'alt-right' - is due to appear at the university in Gainesville on Thursday. Scott signed an executive order because he believes that the "threat of a potential emergency is imminent."

"We live in a country where everyone has the right to voice their opinion," Scott said in a statement accompanying the seven page executive order. "However, we have zero tolerance for violence and public safety is always our number one priority."

The Left has officially abandoned evolution and science in general

Its pursuit of "social justice" now trumps "science" every time.

Of all the absurd and ill-informed clichés being parroted by today's politicos, the notion of science as a saber wielded exclusively by the left is among the most laughable.

Fear mongering over GMOs and absurd arguments about when life begins (and should end) have done plenty to damage the left's scientific street cred.

But liberals' willful scientific ignorance has now gone stratospheric with arguments surrounding sex and gender that grow more outlandish seemingly by the hour. In fact, the "party of science" now appears fully prepared to slaughter its most sacred cow: evolution.

Long before squabbles over the thickness of polar ice caps, the debate over the origins of life, and more specifically mankind, pitted religious conservatives against more science-minded folk.

This early flashpoint in the culture war was long heralded as a quintessential victory by the secular left and helped to establish evolution as scientific "fact" for much of the country. And in many ways provided the precursor for liberals' current claims of scientific ownership - claims now being abandoned for the sake of social justice.

Regardless of one's own views toward evolution, the irony of the left eating its own, on what was once sacred secular ground, is undeniably rich.
