  • The full story of my 5 year old life in organized crime (involuntarily speaking)
    “A fence, also known as a receiver, mover, or moving man, is an individual who knowingly buys stolen goods in order to later resell them for profit. The fence acts as a middleman between thieves and the eventual buyers of stolen goods who may not be aware that the goods are stolen. As a verb (e.g. "to fence stolen goods"), the word describes the behaviour of the thief in the transaction with the fence.
    As is the case with the word fence and its derivatives when used in its other common meanings (i.e. as a type of barrier or enclosure, and also as a sport), the word in this context is derived from the word defence. Among criminals, the fence originated in thieves' slang tracing from the notion of such transactions providing a "defence" against being caught.[1]
    Thieves who patronise fences are willing to accept a low profit margin in order to reduce their risks by instantly "washing their hands" of illicitly gotten loot (such as black market goods) and disassociating from the criminal act that procured it. After sales, fences recoup their investment by disguising the stolen nature of the goods (via methods such as repackaging and altering/effacing serial numbers) and reselling the goods as near to the white market price as possible without drawing suspicion. This process often relies on a legal business (such as a pawnshop, flea market, or street vendor) in order to "launder" the stolen goods by intermixing them with legally-obtained items of the same type.[2]
    Fencing is illegal in all countries, but legally proving a violation of anti-fencing laws can be difficult.[3]”

  • The thievery of theft
    “Theft is the act of taking another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.[1][2][3] The word theft is also used as a synonym or informal shorthand term for some crimes against property, such as larceny, robbery,[1] embezzlement, extortion, blackmail, or receiving stolen property.[2] In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny,[4][5] while in others, theft is defined more narrowly.[6] Someone who carries out an act of theft may be described as a "thief" (pl: thieves).[7]” “Burglary, also called breaking and entering (B&E)[1] and sometimes housebreaking,[2] is the act of illegally entering a building or other areas without permission, typically with the intention of committing a criminal offence. Usually that offence is theft, larceny, robbery, or murder, but most jurisdictions include others within the ambit of burglary. To commit burglary is to burgle,[3] a term back-formed from the word burglar, or to burglarize.[4][3]” I saw similar things: “The newest growth sectors for organized crime are identity theft and online extortion. These activities are troubling because they discourage consumers from using the Internet for e-commerce. E-commerce was supposed to level the playing ground between small and large businesses, but the growth of online organized crime is leading to the opposite effect; large businesses are able to afford more bandwidth (to resist denial-of-service attacks) and superior security. Furthermore, organized crime using the Internet is much harder to trace down for the police (even though they increasingly deploy cybercops) since most police forces and law enforcement agencies operate within a local or national jurisdiction while the Internet makes it easier for criminal organizations to operate across such boundaries without detection.
    In the past criminal organizations have naturally limited themselves by their need to expand, putting them in competition with each other. This competition, often leading to violence, uses valuable resources such as manpower (either killed or sent to prison), equipment and finances. In the United States, James "Whitey" Bulger, the Irish Mob boss of the Winter Hill Gang in Boston turned informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He used this position to eliminate competition and consolidate power within the city of Boston which led to the imprisonment of several senior organized crime figures including Gennaro Angiulo, underboss of the Patriarca crime family. Infighting sometimes occurs within an organization, such as the Castellamarese war of 1930–31 and the Boston Irish Mob Wars of the 1960s and 1970s.
    Today criminal organizations are increasingly working together, realizing that it is better to work in cooperation rather than in competition with each other (once again, consolidating power). This has led to the rise of global criminal organizations such as Mara Salvatrucha, 18th Street gang and Barrio Azteca. The American Mafia, in addition to having links with organized crime groups in Italy such as the Camorra, the 'Ndrangheta, Sacra Corona Unita and Sicilian Mafia, has at various times done business with the Irish Mob, Jewish-American organized crime, the Japanese Yakuza, Indian mafia, the Russian mafia, Thief in law and Post-Soviet Organized crime groups, the Chinese Triads, Chinese Tongs and Asian street gangs, Motorcycle Gangs and numerous White, Black and Hispanic prison and street gangs. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated that organized crime groups held $322 billion in assets in 2005.[197]”

  • The full story of my entire sexual trauma healing
    “Sexualization (or sexualisation) is to make something sexual in character or quality or to become aware of sexuality,[1][2] especially in relation to men and women. Sexualization is linked to sexual objectification. According to the American Psychological Association, sexualization occurs when "individuals are regarded as sex objects and evaluated in terms of their physical characteristics and sexiness."[3] "In study after study, findings have indicated that women more often than men are portrayed in a sexual manner (e.g., dressed in revealing clothing, with bodily postures or facial expressions that imply sexual readiness) and are objectified (e.g., used as a decorative object, or as body parts rather than a whole person).”

  • My life after organized crime, past sexual turmoil, and Churchianity
    “Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a deliberate state of psychological or spiritual calm despite the potential presence of stressors. Being "at peace" is considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of being stressed or anxious, and is considered to be a state where our mind performs at an optimal level with positive outcomes. Peace of mind is thus generally associated with bliss, happiness and contentment.
    Peace of mind, serenity, and calmness are descriptions of a disposition free from the effects of stress. In some cultures, inner peace is considered a state of consciousness or enlightenment that may be cultivated by various forms of training, such as breathing exercises, prayer, meditation, tai chi or yoga, for example. Many spiritual practices refer to this peace as an experience of knowing oneself.
    People have difficulties embracing their inner spirituality because everyday stressors get the best of them; finding peace and happiness in the little joys of life can seem difficult, and results do not seem all that gratifying. Achieving spirituality is a step-by-step process; there are ways through which one can become more spiritual every day.[1]”

  • Explaining all of the reasons why I did episodes on organized crime, sex, and religion
    “Law enforcement is the activity of some members of government who act in an organized manner to enforce the law by discovering, deterring, rehabilitating, or punishing people who violate the rules and norms governing that society.[1] The term encompasses police, courts, and corrections. These three components may operate independently of each other or collectively, through the use of record sharing and mutual cooperation.” “Criminal justice is the delivery of justice to those who have been accused of committing crimes. The criminal justice system is a series of government agencies and institutions. Goals include the rehabilitation of offenders, preventing other crimes, and moral support for victims. The primary institutions of the criminal justice system are the police, prosecution and defense lawyers, the courts and the prisons system.” I even want to make ethical porn for victims of adultery.

  • My two-month break from crime, sex, and religion episodes starts now and ends in July 13th, 2023
    “Violence/Assault
    The commission of violent crime may form part of a criminal organization's 'tools' used to achieve criminogenic goals (for example, its threatening, authoritative, coercive, terror-inducing, or rebellious role), due to psycho-social factors (cultural conflict, aggression, rebellion against authority, access to illicit substances, counter-cultural dynamic), or may, in and of itself, be crime rationally chosen by individual criminals and the groups they form. Assaults are used for coercive measures, to "rough up" debtors, competition or recruits, in the commission of robberies, in connection to other property offenses, and as an expression of counter-cultural authority;[61] violence is normalized within criminal organizations (in direct opposition to mainstream society) and the locations they control.[62] Whilst the intensity of violence is dependent on the types of crime the organization is involved in (as well as their organizational structure or cultural tradition) aggressive acts range on a spectrum from low-grade physical assaults to major trauma assaults. Bodily harm and grievous bodily harm, within the context of organized crime, must be understood as indicators of intense social and cultural conflict, motivations contrary to the security of the public, and other psycho-social factors.[63]” I won love to create my own XXX awards shows and XXX winners and be staffed with sexual health professionals, sex coaches, sexual surrogates, sexual trauma therapists, sexologists, mental health specialists, intimacy coordinators, and intimacy choreographers. Religion causes lawlessness and legalism.

  • My child self’s Christian effectiveness makes perfect sense to my secular adult self.

    "I imagine the historical Jesus of the 1st century being a domestic worker and a direct support professional that was assisting individuals with various daily living activities like bathing, eating, administering medications, hygiene, being a couple's counselor, household maintenance, household laundry and ironing, or care for children and elderly dependents, and personal grooming." -Antonio Myers

  • I do want to make ethical porn that is sexually therapeutic for adult survivors of discrimination, bigotry, prejudice, hatred, sex crimes, sexual disorders, sexual dysfunctions, and bodily disorders!
    “One metric used by the WHO to determine the severity of global rates of coercive, forced sexual activity was the question "Have you ever been forced to have sexual intercourse against your will?" Asking this question produced higher positive response rates than being asked, whether they had ever been abused or raped.[70]
    The WHO report describes the consequences of sexual abuse:
    Gynecological disorders
    Reproductive disorders
    Sexual disorders
    Infertility
    Pelvic inflammatory disease
    Pregnancy complications
    Miscarriage
    Sexual dysfunction
    Acquiring sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS
    Mortality from injuries
    Increased risk of suicide
    Depression
    Chronic pain, revenge porn, doctored or fake photos, stolen private materials,
    Psychosomatic disorders
    Unsafe abortion
    Unwanted pregnancy (see Pregnancy from rape)[70].” I also want to make ethical porn for single folks, childfree folks, parents, monogamous folks, and non-monogamous folks.

  • My atheistic existentialism (All of the rest of the reasons why I left church, religion, and Christianity)
    “Syncretism, Not A Conspiracy Theory
    Finally, perhaps you’re wondering whether the early Christian writers directly copied from Egyptian or Hellenistic texts and deliberately perpetrated a conspiracy against their followers, plagiarizing the earlier myths and pretending their religion was original and was the only true faith.
    That entire issue of originality is a red herring. Ancient writers often wrote anonymously or in someone else’s name to associate themselves with a venerable tradition. There were no copyright protections in the ancient world. And large-scale orchestrated conspiracies are always improbable. What often happens instead is that history unfolds in a way that looks conspiratorial in hindsight, but that’s propelled more by incompetence, stupidity, greed, and other such commonplace vices rather than by evil genius.” Link: https://medium.com/interfaith-now/jesus-and-osiris-how-christianity-adapted-egyptian-myths-c63ef171cd10. Religion has a history of incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, statutory rape, sex scandals, sex work scandals, psychological characteristics of abusers, psychological trauma, popping babies scandals, organized crime, violence, murder, theft, embezzlement, sex-negativity, child sex rings, and bestiality.
