San Francisco, CA - The 'war on Christmas' continues as a simple well-wishing of 'Merry Christmas' has led to big trouble for one fourth-grade San Francisco boy this week. Timothy Dawson, a 9-year-old student at Argon Elementary School in San Francisco, CA., was in the school cafeteria Monday eating with friends when he was taken to the principal's office and given a week-long suspension. His punishment was consequence for saying 'Merry Christmas' to his homeroom teacher earlier that morning. Dawson's teacher, 35-year-old Paul Horner who is an outspoken Atheist, was offended at the students display of Christmas spirit and had staff suspend the young boy for the rest of the week. "I say 'Merry Christmas' to everyone," the boy told CNN. "I didn't think it would cause so much trouble just for saying a couple little words." The boy's mother, Laura Dawson, 41, was fuming over the issue. "You don't traumatize a child who loves to go to school, who wanted to be early every day to school, you don't make him cry, just for wishing someone Merry Christmas," she told reporters, holding back tears. "You just don't do it." Reporters spoke with Mr. Horner as he was leaving from school on Tuesday. "I warned the children not to bring religion into my classroom," Horner said. "Maybe he'll listen to adults next time." Argon Elementary School officials declined to comment. UPDATE 12/12/13: We have located the email address for the Atheist teacher in the story, Paul Horner. I think he deserves a nice well-wishing of Merry Christmas! Email: paul.horner.a.elementary@gmail.com

Border Collie frozen in a block of ice left in Dawson Creek yard
Animal cruelty officers are investigating a disturbing case involving a dead dog that was frozen into a block of ice and left in the yard of a Dawson Creek man.
The man discovered the dog Jan. 15, but told officers he had no idea why its frozen body was left on his property.
"I thought I'd seen everything, but when I opened that up I was blown away. It's so disturbing. We want some answers," said Marcie Moriarty, general manager of the BC SPCA's cruelty investigations. "Anyone who would do something so sick - I'm concerned if they have other animals in their custody."
Moriarty said the case is such a mystery that investigators are asking for the public's help, hoping someone may have known the black dog or witnessed it being dropped off in the yard of the unidentified Dawson Creek man. She said the man does not have pets, did not know the dog and has no idea why the animal was left in his yard.
"The only salvation is we just found out the dog died before being placed in there. It had puncture wounds consistent with being in a dog fight and all of his intestines were missing," Moriarty said.
It's possible another animal ate part of the dog's intestines, but she said it appears the 18-kilogram (40-pound) dog was owned by somebody because it had a healthy weight. She also noted that feral dogs don't usually survive winters in B.C.'s north because the weather is so cold.
She said the SPCA wants to find out who was responsible for placing the dog in the block of ice, which looks to have been made using a large rubber bin.
By Thursday, public outrage about the dog's discovery had spread internationally with calls of concern coming from as far away as New Zealand.
But despite the high media profile so far not one tip has come in identifying either the dog or its owner to either the RCMP or the BC SPCA.
"People are emotional about it," said Dawson Creek RCMP Cpl. David Ossinger..
The BC SPCA conducts nearly 6,000 cruelty investigations a year and last year seized 1,000 animals and executed 133 search warrants in order to gather evidence in animal cruelty complaint cases.
Moriarty pointed out the association has 24 full-time constables investigating animal complaints but could easily use double that number. It does not have a constable assigned to the Dawson Creek/Fort St. John area, but she said there are plans to get an officer in that area of northern B.C. in the near future.
The problem is funding, she said.
"We're the only animal agency with authority to investigate animal cruelty. We have a $2.2 million budget and zero dollars of that are from government," she said."Living in a province that likes to think of themselves as very environmental and progressive it may come as a shock we're one of the few provinces in Canada that receives zero funding from government to protect animals."
Moriarty added the work cruelty investigators do could possibly prevent harm to people since studies have shown some criminals who have injured and killed other humans began their criminal careers torturing animals.
Anyone with information about the frozen dog is asked to please call the South Peace SPCA Branch at 250-782-2444.
Meanwhile, a northern non-profit rescue association called Turtle Gardens Rescue, still has three puppies they are trying to find homes for who were nearly frozen to death before Christmas. The puppies, which are sheltie spaniel mix, were discovered under an open porch living in -29 C weather. Their names are Glacier, Winter and Miss Freezie, whose eyelids were literally frozen shut when they were picked up.
Turtle Gardens founder Yvette Labatte said there were six puppies, but one died one hour after being brought indoors and two others were adopted locally in the Burns Lake area.
While the two males, Glacier and Winter, now 12 weeks old, did not suffer any eye damage Miss Freezie did suffer some permanent vision loss.
"She was the smallest pup and being the weakest was pushed out. The mom had the puppies after digging a hole in the snow underneath an open patio of someone's home," said Labatte.
The mother has been spayed and vaccinated and will soon be going to her new adoptive home in Vancouver

Veiled woman will not give evidence
http://www.asianimage.co.uk/news/world/10966631.Veiled_woman_will_not_give_evidence/?ref=var_0
Veiled woman will not give evidence 5:30pm Monday 27th January 2014
A Muslim woman standing trial in a full-face veil, who was told she must remove it if she gives evidence in her defence, will not take to the witness box, a court has heard.
Rebekah Dawson, 22, has been allowed to appear at her trial for alleged witness intimidation in a niqab showing just her eyes.
Trial Judge Peter Murphy ruled last September that she could wear the Islamic garment in court but he said she would have to let the jury of five women and seven men see her face if she gave evidence.
Her barrister, Susan Meek, told the jury at Blackfriars Crown Court in London today that she would not be giving evidence in her own defence.
Judge Murphy had asked Ms Meek whether she had told her client that the jury would be free to "draw such inferences as might be proper" from a decision not to give evidence.
She said she had.
"Does she intend to give evidence?" he asked. "No", Ms Meek replied.
Dawson, of Hackey, east London, is on trial alongside her brother, Matthias Dawson, 32, accused of intimidating a security guard at the Finsbury Park mosque in north London last June.
It is alleged they approached Daudi Yusuf at the mosque after an incident between him and Ms Dawson's husband, Royal Barnes.
Both defendants deny a single charge of witness intimidation.
Earlier in the trial, Judge Murphy told the jury that Dawson was "fully entitled" to dress how she chose to in court.
He told jurors to put aside any feelings they might have about her appearance because they would have nothing to do with the case.
Matthias Dawson gave evidence in his defence, saying he would not have done anything to help his brother-in-law.
"I don't particularly like him, to tell the truth," he said. "I don't think he is good for my sister."
Muslim convert Mr Dawson admitted attending the mosque with the hood of his hoodie raised.
But he said he had been there because he had been giving his sister a lift through the area, she had wanted to pray, and he decided to do the same.
He said he heard his sister talking with a man but denied being involved himself.

How the British justice system lost out to Islamic extremism
SHOULD any of us be unfortunate enough to be called to appear in front of a court any time soon we can at least take some comfort. We may no longer have to show our face.
LIFESTYLE CHOICE: Rebekah Dawson wore a niqab in court
By: Douglas Murray
Published: Sat, February 1, 2014
That isn't to say we won't be obliged to turn up. For the time being at least that will probably remain necessary. But we will not need to actually show our face. For a great precedent has now been set. Earlier this week fanatical Muslim convert Rebekah Dawson made legal history in this country. Up in court on charges of witness intimidation Dawson - who wears the full Islamic face covering - simply refused to show her face.
This was the fanatical 22-year-old convert to Islam who (although she could not be named at the time) made headlines last September when a judge asked her to remove her face-covering in court and she refused. Indeed Dawson's barrister Susan Meek argued at a pre-trial hearing that her client had a right to remain fully veiled in court, revealing only part of her eyes.
The barrister's defence was that her client's "right" to do this was protected by the European Convention on Human Rights. Did those learned, if misguided, minds who put together that ill-fated convention ever imagine this was where their legal system would end up? IN ANY case, stuck on the issue the judge at Blackfriars Crown Court Peter Murphy reached what was soon applauded as an eminently sensible British compromise. It was suggested by the judge that the defendant should not have to show her face when listening to the evidence of others but only when giving evidence herself.
In that moment a fatal compromise was made between British justice and Islamic fanaticism. For the principle that it is important that the judge and jury should be able to see the face of the accused is as old as trial by jury itself.
It is based not just on the court knowing that the person in the dock is the person who is meant to be in the dock. It is also based on the fact that one of the ways in which a jury can reach a verdict is by observing the defendant, when they are listening to others give evidence and when they are giving evidence themselves.
In compromising a part of this principle last September Judge Peter Murphy took a fatal step. But it was one which in any case the woman we now know to be Rebekah Dawson had no intention of obeying.
Dawson continued to refuse to show herself, eventually waiving her right to give evidence. Her insistence on the most fundamentalist interpretations of Islam thus led to endless cost and waste of court time.
Not just in the endless to-ings and fro-ings over whether the accused should have to show her face. It was also wasted in steps being taken such as a female police officer having to repeatedly go into a private room at the court and ask the defendant to lift her veil so the policewoman could confirm that the person under the veil was the accused.
How Dawson herself got to this belligerent position is itself telling. Of Jamaican origin and raised in a Christian family her father was a convicted drugsmuggler.
For whatever reason in recent years she fell into the orbit of Muslim fanatics, including some centred around the notorious Finsbury Park Mosque. Indeed it was a caretaker at the mosque who Dawson was on trial for intimidating.
The caretaker was attacked by Dawson for allowing "naked women" into the mosque. By "naked women" Dawson meant women who were not covered in the complete body and face veil she adopted only in 2012.
Her story is relatively typical. It is often a cause for despair among mainstream Muslims that converts so often flee to the wildest extremes of their religion. Over years of studying such radicalism I have seen this many times.
Women who wear the full-face veil are still a minority but often converts or those who are otherwise rebelling against their upbringing adopt this exclusionary and intimidating practice.
Dawson fits this trend. Her behaviour in court was all part of the contempt that the wearing of the full veil displays - not just for British justice but for British society as a whole.
LATE last year I took part in a discussion on the wearing of this garment at the East London Mosque. All the women in the audience - specially selected for the occasion - wore the full burka or niqab. Their contempt for British society was complete. I afterwards learned that they had attacked a Muslim woman who was on my side and wore only a headscarf, hissing at her for daring to even sit next to what they called (using the quasi-racist term for non-Muslims) "a kafir man".
Throughout her trial Dawson showed just that contempt. After she was permitted to go through the trial fully covered it is unsurprising that the jury had trouble reaching a verdict. The only surprising thing was that having wasted so much court time at the final stage the defendant suddenly pleaded guilty after all. She will be sentenced at a later date.
In his summing up the judge told the jury: "This is not a ruling about religion. It is about the ability of the court to hear a fair trial." Indeed. But in letting someone ride roughshod over our norms and bending our system to fit the most extreme Islamic principles this was a ruling about British justice. And in this latest round of a long-running battle it is once again our society, and our justice system that showed itself to be weak and wanting.

+The body of Ethan Stacy, 4, was found in a shallow grave on a mountainside in Weber County, Utah, in May 2010

Nearly four years after the body of Ethan Stacy was found buried on a mountainside in Utah, the child's stepfather - Nathan Sloop - admitted Tuesday that he played a role in the four-year-old's death.
Sloop, 35, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to aggravated murder for the 2010 death of Ethan Stacy, who was found near Powder Mountain in Weber Country with his face disfigured by hammer blows and his grave sprinkled with dog food.
Sloop was immediately sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the murder and 1 to 15 years for aggravated assault by a prisoner for attacking a David County jail officer.
A number of other charges were dismissed as part of a plea deal, which also spared him from the death penalty, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
Nathan Sloop (right) stands next to his attorneys during his court appearance appearance on Tuesday February 4, 2014, in Farmington, Utah. Sloop has pleaded 'guilty and mentally ill' to the aggravated murder of his 4-year-old stepson, Ethan Stacy
Nathan Sloop was immediately sentenced to 25 years to life for the murder and was spared the death penalty
Ethan Stacy, 4, was bashed in the face with a hammer and burned so badly in the bathtub his skin fell off. His body was found in May 2010 covered in dog food on a mountain
Ethan Stacy was starved and abused in the days leading up to his death in May 2010
Sloop told the judge that his state of mind was 'reckless indifference' in the months before Ethan's death.
Attorneys said that while Sloop was mentally ill at the time Ethan died, he is no longer mentally ill.
'That boy died on my watch, and I'm horribly sorry,' Nathan Sloop told 2nd District Judge Glen Dawson, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
He said he wanted to plead guilty on Tuesday to accept responsibility for his actions.
'I want to apologize to all those who were affected by my reckless indifference to Ethan Stacy,' Sloop said.
Sloop's attorney, Richard Mauro, said his client's mental illness coupled with a high number of prescription painkillers and other medications Sloop was taking at the time led to his indifference to the child's life.
Previous court documents show Sloop was prescribed 4,146 pills in an 11-month period.
Among the prescriptions were Lortab, Valium, Percocet, Xanax and an antihistamine.
Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings told Dawson on Tuesday that while Ethan's father, Joe Stacy, was in the courtroom, he was too emotional to make a statement before the sentence was handed down.
Mother: Stephanie Sloop, 30, is awaiting trial on charges of aggravated murder, inflicting a serious injury on a child, obstructing justice and abuse or desecration of a human body
Ethan Stacy is seen here with his biological father Joe Stacy, who flew to Utah from Virginia on Tuesday for Nathan Sloop's hearing
Tragic: A medical examiner testified that Ethan Stacy died from a combination of too many over-the-counter medications, aspiration pneumonia and severe burns
'It was a very traumatic experience for them to come on a plane and come to Utah,' Rawlings said of Joe Stacy and his wife, who live in Virginia.
'He felt the need and desire and the want to be here for his son.'
Rawlings told the judge that the plea negotiation minimizes the risk of appeal.
Ethan's mother, Stephanie Sloop, is awaiting trial for her alleged role in the murder.
Nathan Sloop's defense attorney Richard Mauro said Ethan Stacy died of an accidental overdose of a number of over-the-counter medications.
A medical examiner testified that Ethan died from a combination of too many over-the-counter medications, aspiration pneumonia and severe burns, likely caused from hot water in a tub.
Aspiration pneumonia is caused by an inhalation of foreign materials into the lungs, potentially vomit, or as prosecutors suggested, fecal matter that the boy allegedly was forced to eat, according to prior police testimony.
The burns would have required skin grafts and weeks of hospital treatment, doctors said.

Nathan Sloop confessed to wrapping the body in garbage bags.
Ethan's body was taken to an area near Powder Mountain on May 8, where a deep hole was dug.
The boy's body and items used to bury it were put in the hole in layers.
A hammer was used to disfigure the boy.
'Stephanie was worried about his dental records,' Nathan Sloop allegedly told detectives in a transcript read aloud in court.
Detective Roderick testified that Stephanie Sloop went to a market in Eden, Utah, and purchased lighter fluid, as surveillance video was broadcast to the court.
Prosecutors also showed surveillance video of her purchasing a shovel and some gloves at a hardware store.
Dog food was also placed around the grave.
The day the boy was buried, Nathan Sloop sent a text message to his wife, which was shown in court: 'Baby can you get antioxidant vitamins please. That would be great. I can't wait to take you to Happy Sumo. Memories. Love you!!!'
Days later, they called police and reported Ethan as missing.
Nathan Sloop ultimately led police to where the boy was buried.

Text with video:
by James Corbett
BoilingFrogsPost.com
February 11, 2014
Since 1996, the United States Department of Defense has accumulated
an $8.5 trillion black hole in its budget. The number is so staggering
that it is quite literally inconceivable. Several times larger than the
annual budget for the entire federal government, it is equivalent to
half of the entire fraudulent debt of the United States government
itself. Aside from a recent report by Reuters or the occasional back-of-the-paper mention in one of the dinosaur media outlets, however, you'd have to turn to Russian state-sponsored media to discover this fact.
An alien visiting earth from another planet could be forgiven for
legitimately questioning why this scandal is virtually unknown while the
details of Justin Bieber's latest arrest or Miley Cyrus' latest antics
are literally unavoidable in the cultural zeitgeist. Or why the use of
steroids in Major League Baseball is considered worthy of earnest
Congressional investigation while this unaccounted for $8.5 trillion is
relegated to passing mention in the occasional Congressional hearing.
What seems perplexing from an outside perspective, however, is
mundane reality to those inside the system. The truth is that despite
all the fuzzy rhetoric about republics and inalienable rights and the
rule of law, the United States is nothing but an oligarchy, run by a
handful of international banking syndicates, their multinational
corporate cronies, and the politicians in their back pocket. The
Pentagon budget story is not reported on for the simple reason that it
is the defense contractors that own much of the media, and have intimate relations with those outlets that are not directly under their control.
And the defense contractors, in turn, own the political figures that
decide who receive the government's defense contracts. The classic
example of this is Dick Cheney. As George H.W. Bush's Secretary of
Defense, he awarded a contract
to KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary, to investigate the possibility of
contracting out military services to private companies. Unsurprisingly,
KBR concluded this would be a good thing, and soon Halliburton and other
private companies were receiving a larger and larger slice of the
Washington defense budget pie. Also unsurprisingly, Cheney left his post
as Defense Secretary at the end of the Bush Administration and became
CEO of Halliburton.
But this is not the only example of the defense contractor revolving door. As Ryan Dawson of The ANC Report notes in his new e-book, The Separation of Business and State:
"Thomas White, the Secretary of the Army, was involved with Enron as a
senior executive. He unloaded 200,000 shares (12 million dollars'
worth) of their stock during that scandal. While White was serving as
the Vice Chairman of Enron Energy Services, he actively used his
political contacts to give Enron a single bidder contract to privatize
the power supply for Fort Hamilton. He was also fond of using military
jets for personal trips for himself and his wife."
And:"Gordon England, the Secretary of the Navy, flipped back and forth
between General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin is at the
top of the list when it comes to Pentagon contracts and General Dynamics
is usually in the top five. England was the President of General
Dynamics' Land Systems Division and later became President for General
Dynamics' entire Fort Worth Division. That Division was sold to Lockheed
and he became a President there."
Sadly, the list of such blatant conflicts of interest is nearly
endless and by no means limited to the military-industrial complex. The
same is true of the revolving door in the biotech industry around companies like Monsanto and in the healthcare sector, where high-ranking insurance company executives literally write the legislation that mandates everyone to purchase health insurance from the corporations.
The problem is so blatant, so obvious, so out in the open that even
its opponents readily admit to its existence. And yet it continues
without significant opposition from the public. How can this happen?
Because-in a twist that again would be difficult to explain to anyone
not steeped in this system-people disagree not on the problem itself,
but on what to call it .
This is the ultimate example of divide and conquer in action. A
small, readily-identifiable ruling oligarchy that no serious political
observer denies the existence of is able to keep the public from
attacking it by dividing them along ideological grounds so that the
public spends all their time arguing over definitions and splitting
doctrinal hairs instead of attacking the commonly acknowledged enemy.
You couldn't ask for a more perfect system of control.
Thankfully, the corollary of this divide and conquer strategy is that
it is possible to unite the people against their common enemy simply by
employing some rhetorical strategies of their own.
As we shall see next week, the idea of uniting the public against the
oligarchs is not only possible, it is actually happening in case after
case. But as always it is a question of whether it is enough to push
back against this oligarchical control, or if it is too little, too
late.

Lee Rigby murder: Couple jailed for glorification videos
Lee Rigby murder: Couple jailed for glorification videos
A married couple have been jailed for posting videos on YouTube glorifying Fusilier Lee Rigby's murder.
Royal Barnes, 23, of Hackney, east London, recorded and uploaded three videos shortly after the murder in Woolwich, south-east London, last May.
In one of the videos, he hailed the murder as a "brilliant day".
At the Old Bailey, the Muslim couple were both jailed - Barnes for five years and four months, while Rebekah Dawson, 22, was sentenced to 20 months.
'Offensive in the extreme'
Barnes had already pleaded guilty to three counts of disseminating a terrorist publication and one of inciting murder, while Dawson, who had insisted on wearing a veil in court, had previously admitted disseminating a terrorist publication.
Judge Brian Barker QC told them the videos they made were "offensive in the extreme".
He said the couple showed "a total and continuing disregard" for how their actions might affect the family of the soldier, the people who witnessed his murder and the British public.
In one of the videos, Barnes laughed as he drove past floral tributes for Fusilier Rigby.
One video, made on the day of the murder, featured graphic images of a man holding a decapitated head.
Another video showed Dawson ranting about how soldiers would be killed in London.
Barnes, who associated with one of Fusilier Rigby's murderers Michael Adebowale, also posted on Facebook the offer of a reward for avenging the rape of an Iraqi woman.
The post, created on 12 June 2013, stated: "Any1 who kills an invading soldier in Muslim land I will give them a Vauxhall Astra 3door and money (French British American any kaffir soldier take ur pick)."
None of his 500 friends replied to the request.
Michael Adebolajo, 29, and Adebowale, 22, were jailed for life last month for murdering Fusilier Rigby.
The Muslim converts ran the soldier down in a car before hacking him to death with a meat cleaver and knives.

'Idiotic acts': Royal Barnes pictured laughing in a car in front of the memorial to soldier Lee Rigby
Paul Cheston
Published: 14 March 2014
Updated: 17:46, 14 March 2014
Royal Barnes, 23, had been a friend of the soldier's killer Michael Adebowlae and had offered his three-door Vauxhall Astra to anyone who killed a British soldier.
His wife Rebekah Dawson, 22, who made legal history by wearing a full-face veil throughout a recent court case was sentenced to 20 months for her part in the videos.
Barnes had posted three videos on the internet describing the murder as "brilliant" and claiming "British people will never be safe on the streets of London."
Another video showed him driving past the floral tributes in Woolwich and laughing at "this is where the British soldier died."
Three further videos were found on the computer at his Hackney home including Barnes pretending to be a suicide bomber at Finsbury Park tube station.
He is also filmed inside Westminster Magistrates Court where he was convicted of a public order offence protesting against an EDL rally.
Barnes was a member of Al-Muhajiroun and had taken part in Muslim patrols in East London.
Today his counsel Naeem Mian told the Old Bailey: "No ifs, buts or maybes, he makes it absolutely clear these were idiotic acts born out of breath-taking stupidity formed by association with people who taught him a naive and perverted version of Islam."He was used and now he now wants to engage with those who deradicalise individuals."
Dawson's barrister Susan Meek also said that the 22-year-old wants to "cut her ties completely" with the extremists.
But the Recorder of London Brian Barker QC told them: "These videos were offensive in the extreme and were made at a particularly sensitive time for the family of Lee Rigby and for all those who witnessed the killing either at first hand or in the media."The freedom of opinion and expression has long been jealously guarded by our laws but with that freedom comes respect and responsibility to our fellow citizens."Nobody is entitled to advocate a perverted use of ideology to glorify murder on the streets of London."There was a total and complete disregard of how your actions might impact on the family of Lee Rigby and the observers and the British public."
Barnes and Dawson had both pleaded guilty to three counts of dissemination of terrorist publications. Barnes, who also admitted a charge of inciting terrorism overseas, was sentenced to five years and four months imprisonment.
He was also linked to Muslims Against Crusades and has associated with Adebowale at various rallies and demos in support of Sharia law in the UK.
In particular he was filmed by a TV documentary film crew with Adebowale in a demo outside St Pauls cathedral.
He is also connected with two of the Islamic extremists jailed for carrying out Muslim patrols, which harassed members of the public by warning women not to wear short skirts on the streets and people to stop drinking alcohol.
New advice could soon be issued to judges after the end of the trial of Dawson at Blackfriars Crown Court where she had been allowed to wear a full-face veil in court.
Rebekah Dawson, 22, later admitted witness intimidation and will be sentenced next week on that charge.

Royal Barnes and Rebekah Dawson Jailed for mocking video of Lee Rigby murder
A British Islamist couple who pleaded guilty to glorifying the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby by posting a series of YouTube videos have been jailed.
Royal Barnes, 23, of Hackney, east London, was sentenced to five years and four months in prison after he and his wife Rebekah Dawson, 22, admitted to making three "vile" videos following the murder of Rigby in Woolwich on 22 May 2013.
In one of the videos, Barnes could be heard describing the soldier's murder as a "glorious day". They also uploaded a video of themselves laughing hysterically as they drove past a floral tribute to Rigby at the scene where he was killed.
Barnes, who was friends with one of Rigby's killers, Michael Adebowale, also posted a message on Facebook encouraging people to murder British, French and American soldiers.
The status posted on 12 June, 2013, said: "Any1 who kills an invading soldier in Muslim land I will give them a Vauxhall Astra 3door and money ."
Barnes pleaded guilty to three counts of disseminating a terrorist publication and one of inciting murder.
Dawson, who insisted on wearing her veil in court, admitted to disseminating a terrorist publication at an earlier hearing. She was sentenced to 20 months in jail.
One of the videos made by the pair features a clip of Rigby's killer, Michael Adabolajo, holding a knife in his hand next to Rigby's body followed by a to-camera tirade from Barnes, filmed by Dawson. The second showed Dawson in her veil with the title "British troops kill Muslims so they will die on London streets".
The third video shows the pair driving to the scene in Woolwich where Rigby was killed and laughing hysterically at the tributes paid to the soldier while blasting loud music.
It was established that Dawson had also sent links for the videos to a number of associates with an extremist mindset.
Temp cmdr Duncan Ball, head of the Counter Terrorism Command, said: "Disseminating violent extremist material and encouraging others to carry out acts of terrorism are serious offences."I hope today's sentences send out a clear message that we will arrest and prosecute those responsible."
Mari Reid, of the Crown Prosecution Service's Counter Terrorism Division, said: "While the whole country was unified in grief and horror in the wake of Fusilier Lee Rigby's death last year, Royal Barnes and his wife sought to take advantage of the situation to promote their extremist views."Royal Barnes went further, using the savage attack on Fusilier Rigby to encourage others, via Facebook, to murder British, French and American soldiers."These were not throwaway comments from a thoughtless individual, but the hardened beliefs of an extremist."We pride ourselves in Britain on allowing the right to free speech to flourish. But the vile views posted online by Royal Barnes and Rebekah Dawson justified and glorified terrorist attacks, and tried to foster hatred in our communities."
Adebolajo was given a whole life sentence for the murder of Rigby. Adebowale was told he must serve a minimum of 45 years in jail for his part in the killing.

Dawson Tech Institute Overhead Lineman Student for Comed Killed in horrible accident
A lineman student in Chicago, IL died shortly after getting hit with approximately 7,200 volts during training. The student, identified as Chris Jenkins, was electrocuted while handling a primary line under direct instructions of Comed Safety Supervisor, Sam "Safety Sam" Ross, according to a Chicago Police report.
Jenkins, 32, worked as a supervisor at Target, Inc., with hopes of seeking full time employment with a local electric utility once he completed training at Dawson Technical Institute. According to Rick Stofield, 55, a fellow student at Dawson Tech whose responsibility is to assist linemen students, Jenkins was not wearing his hot gloves while working on the pole. Hot gloves are what electricians and linemen use to protect themselves from power lines. The report also states that Jenkins was not properly instructed by Sam Ross about the rule on the same day he was electrocuted.
Towards the end of their shift, Stofield said, he noticed Jenkins tying off a "mule tape" to the fiber optic line. When Jenkins raised his right hand, in an attempt to tighten or take up slack from what he was doing, Stofield saw a blue electric arc appear from a live wire and hit Jenkins' right hand. Jenkins held his chest making his co-workers lower the bucket he was in. They then began to perform CPR on him. They found later that his hot gloves were in the bucket with him.
Shortly after that, Jenkins was taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Jenkins leaves behind a wife and 3 children, one child with special needs. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating the matter. Comed nor Dawson Tech is not commenting on the cause of death. Because there was no foul play and the family did not request an autopsy, the body was released to a funeral home and will not be examined by the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

Richard LittleJohn: Welcome to the UK, land of the rising SCUM.
Welcome to Britain, land of the rising scum.... We've cornered the market on welfare layabouts, drug addicts and feral gangs
The first time it properly dawned on me that the game was indeed up was about 20
years ago in Blackpool, where I was covering the Labour Party conference.
As
I made my way from the Clifton Hotel, opposite the main pier, past
Yates's Wine Lodge towards the Winter Gardens, at approximately 9.30am, I
had to step into the road to avoid a family walking four-abreast on the
pavement in the direction of the sea front.
They were all
breakfasting on fish and chips from polystyrene containers, washed down
with what I seem to remember was Irn-Bru, in the case of the children,
and Special Brew, for the parents.The whole family - mum, dad,
son, daughter - was dressed in matching turquoise shell-suits and
imitation designer-label trainers. They all had earrings. Each wore a
baseball cap.
The father's cap was distinguished by a plastic dog turd stuck to the peak, beneath a logo which proclaimed: 'S***head.'
Scroll down for more
I can remember thinking to myself, as I watched them window-shopping at the pork butcher's: 'What chance have these kids got?'
The
other thought which occurred to me was, given that the children were
aged, at a guess, eight and six, and this was late September: why
weren't they at school?
Now I know what some of you are thinking. Don't rush to
judgment, Rich. They could have been a blameless, sophisticated couple,
who had taken their children out of their fee-paying convent school for
the day to treat them to a field trip to study the varied marine life
to be found in the Irish Sea off Blackpool, and had decided to dress
down for the occasion.Feeding them fish and chips for breakfast
was simply a way of giving them an authentic working-class day-trip
experience to broaden their horizons and drum home the message that not
everyone starts the day with organic muesli from Waitrose.
The
novelty baseball cap could have been an ironic, post-modern take on the
nature of unbridled consumerism or a witty protest about societal
stereotyping.
Then again, they could just have been scum.
You know what? I've just thought about it again. I'm going with scum. Sorry, but there's no other word for it.
For all I know, those children could have grown up to become brain-surgeons.
My
guess, though, is that they're both living on benefits in some scruffy
council garret, halfway up a burned-out tower block, surrounded by
raggedy children who look pretty much like they used to on their jolly
outing to Blackpool.
Only the fake designer labels have changed.
We're
now on to second- and third-generation scum, sustained by a patronising
and non-judgmental welfare juggernaut. We've always had what
sociologists prefer to call an underclass. But not on this scale and
never so visible.
A quick glance at the news is all it takes
to confirm the worst. In Haringey, North London, the child of a
dysfunctional 'family' is tortured to death under the noses of social
services. When the tragic Victoria Climbie died in similar circumstances
on the same manor, we were assured it would never happen again. I wrote
at the time that it could and it would. It has.
The
lb100,000-a-year, hatchet-faced harridan in charge of the social
services washes her hands of the death, refuses to resign and boasts of
providing a 'three star' service,
backed by pie charts, graphs and a perfect paper trail of criminal incompetence and wilful neglect.
Somewhere out there, there's a baseball cap with her name on it.
Frankly,
I can't bring myself to read the details of this horrific case, other
than to note that the father was an SS freak and the mother spent all
day in pornographic chat rooms on the internet, when she wasn't smoking
in the street. What did they do for money? What do you think?
In
Yorkshire, a ghastly-looking woman and her gormless boyfriend's uncle
are on trial for abducting her daughter and attempting to extract a
reward for her safe return. They
look as if they have stepped
straight out of Little Britain, in which Matt Lucas and David Walliams's
Burberried chavs captured perfectly the gruesome reality of so much of
our modern landscape.
Captive: Shannon Matthews' mother is on trial for kidnap and false imprisonment
This
week, a court heard of the conditions imposed on poor Shannon Matthews
while she was in captivity. She was allowed to watch TV and play
computer games provided she didn't look out of the window. Sounds pretty
much like her everyday life - and that of thousands of children her
age, I would imagine.
The Guardianistas railed against Little
Britain's portrait of the underclass, accusing it of cruelty and making
fun of a 'vulnerable' section of society. The truth is, the Leftist bien
pensants have built a land fit for Vicky Pollards.
This was life imitating comedy. In Little Britain, Vicky Pollard swapped her baby for a Westlife CD.
Meanwhile, in Manchester, a three-year-old child and a three-month-old toddler are stabbed to death allegedly by their mother.
Outside
the house, neighbours are interviewed by TV reporters. Not so long ago,
they'd have looked like Les Dawson and Peter Butterworth's doughty
Northern battle-axes.
Of the two women I saw, one was wearing a
grey hoodie and the other had her hair pulled back in a Croydon
facelift, a stud through her nose and so many earrings in her left lobe
it looked like a curtain rail. Both appeared old beyond their years, a
legacy no doubt of cheap cigarettes and super-strength lager.
In
Hackney, East London, a teenage girl is gang-raped for not showing
sufficient 'respect' to a local yobbo. It barely makes the newspapers.
Britain
seems to have cornered the market in welfare layabouts, drug addicts,
feral gangs of obese children and hideous, drunken scrubbers, littering
the gutters of even our more genteel suburbs.
The women are
the worst of the lot, giving birth to a procession of bay-bees by
different, transient fathers and expecting - nay, being encouraged by -
the state to pay for their upbringing.
The Government's
preferred solution is to keep on throwing money at the problem, hiring
legions of social workers and 'parenting skills advisers' to keep the
scum in check, while importing hundreds of thousands of immigrants to do
the jobs our indigenous idle are paid not to do.
It doesn't work and things aren't going to get any better. It's at least 20 years too late.
The game's up.
What next? Polly puts the jackboots on?
Hatred makes strange bedfellows. Earlier this week, the Editor of the
Daily Mail gave a speech condemning the way in which judges are bringing
in a privacy law by stealth. He cited in particular the
ludicrous privacy case brought by Formula One boss Max Mosley, who was
turned over by the News of the Screws for his kinky sex sessions with
prostitutes dressed up as German soldiers.
This was enough to
get Pole Dance Polly foaming at the mouth, consumed as she is with fear
and loathing for the Mail and all its works.
In
a splendidly barking and rabid piece in the Guardian - which inter alia
accused the Daily Mail of being responsible for giving children measles
- Toynbee found herself not only attacking press freedom, but siding
with the son of a well-known fascist notorious for exploiting women for
his own sexual gratification.
You couldn't make it up.
Maybe Max should give Polly a call. She'd make a marvellous stormtrooper.
Achtung!
Qatada's a terrorist, get him out of there
Huh?: Radical cleric Abu Qatada is accused of plotting to flee the country
This week's edition of Am I Missing Something? concerns preacher of
hate Abu Qatada, said to be Osama bin Laden's European ambassador.
For
some time, he has been living on benefits in a North London council
house, after being released from prison under the yuman rites act.
The courts have also stopped us deporting him to Jordan, where he is wanted on terrorism charges.
So why on earth was he rearrested this week when he tried to leg it to Lebanon?
Surely it would have made more sense to buy him a one-way ticket.
Don't let facts spoil a smear
During the U.S. election, the BBC was especially condescending towards Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
One
of the more ridiculous smears given currency was that Palin wasn't
aware that Africa was a continent, not a country. It fitted perfectly
with the perception of Palin as a thick hick.
Now it turns out
that the credit for the allegation has been claimed by a pair of
American internet hoaxers, posing as a Republican strategist.
One of them, Dan Mirvish, was interviewed on the Today programme by a clearly disappointed Sarah Montague.
At one stage, she blurted out that even if it had been made up, it didn't mean it wasn't true.
We're still none the wiser, but why let the facts get in the way of a good story?
