  • Criminalistic “entrepreneurship”
    “Greed (or avarice) is an uncontrolled longing for increase in the acquisition or use of material gain (be it food, money, land, or animate/inanimate possessions); or social value, such as status, or power. Greed has been identified as undesirable throughout known human history because it creates behavior-conflict between personal and social goals.”

  • Jesus The Heretic
    “The term discriminate appeared in the early 17th century in the English language. It is from the Latin discriminat- 'distinguished between', from the verb discriminare, from discrimen 'distinction', from the verb discernere.[5] Since the American Civil War the term "discrimination" generally evolved in American English usage as an understanding of prejudicial treatment of an individual based solely on their race, later generalized as membership in a certain socially undesirable group or social category.[6] Before this sense of the word became almost universal, it was a synonym for discernment, tact and culture as in "taste and discrimination", generally a laudable attribute; to "discriminate against" being commonly disparaged.[7][8].” I love the human rights versions of religions, faiths, spiritualities, and houses of worship.

  • Secular Jesus
    “Street harassment is a form of harassment, primarily sexual harassment that consists of unwanted sexualised comments, provocative gestures, honking, wolf-whistlings, indecent exposures, stalking, persistent sexual advances, and touching by strangers, in public areas such as streets, shopping malls and public transportation.[1]” “According to the founder of Stop Street Harassment, it can range from physically harmless behavior, such as "kissing noises", "stares", and "non-sexually explicit comments", to "more threatening behavior" like stalking, flashing, grabbing, sexual assault, and rape.[4][5].”  I love the human rights versions of deities, Christ figures, transcendental entities, life after death, the supernaturalism, prayers, spiritual beings, miracles, and religious texts.

  • As a child, I overcame sexual slavery, sexual exploitation, sexploitation, child prostitution, child marriage, forced marriage, child pornography, child sex tourism, and child sex trafficking.
    “Child sex tourism is a form of child sex trafficking, and is mainly centered on buying and selling children into sexual slavery.[17][18] It is when an adult travels to a foreign country for the purpose of engaging in commercially facilitated child sexual abuse.[19] Child sex tourism results in both mental and physical consequences for the exploited children, that may include "disease (including HIV/AIDS), drug addiction, pregnancy, malnutrition, social ostracism, and possibly death", according to the State Department of the United States.[19] Thailand, Cambodia, India, Brazil and Mexico have been identified as leading hotspots of child sexual exploitation.[20].” “Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) includes child prostitution (or child sex trafficking), child sex tourism, child pornography, or other forms of transactional sex with children. The Youth Advocate Program International (YAPI) describes CSEC as a form of coercion and violence against children and a contemporary form of slavery.[11][12]
    A declaration of the World Congress Against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children, held in Stockholm in 1996, defined CSEC as, "sexual abuse by the adult and remuneration in cash or in kind to the child or to a third person or persons. The child is treated as a sexual object and as a commercial object".[12] “Commercial sexual exploitation of adults (often referred to as "sex trafficking")[9] is a type of human trafficking involving the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people, by coercive or abusive means for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Commercial sexual exploitation is not the only form of human trafficking and estimates vary as to the percentage of human trafficking which is for the purpose of transporting someone into sexual slavery.
    The BBC News cited a report by UNODC as listing the most common destinations for victims of human trafficking in 2007 as Thailand, Japan, Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey and the United States. The report lists Thailand, China, Nigeria, Albania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine as major sources of trafficked persons.[10]” “Victims of cybersex trafficking, primarily women and children, are sex slaves[32][33] who are trafficked and then forced to perform in live streaming[34] shows involving coerced[35] sex acts or rape on webcam.[36][37] They are usually made to watch the paying consumers on shared screens and follow their orders.[38] It occurs in 'cybersex dens', which are rooms equipped with webcams.[39][38].” “Forced prostitution may be viewed as a kind of sexual slavery.[40] The terms "forced prostitution" and "enforced prostitution" appear in international and humanitarian conventions but have been insufficiently understood and inconsistently applied. "Forced prostitution" generally refers to conditions of control over a person who is coerced by another to engage in sexual activity.[41]” “Child pornography, sometimes referred to as 'child abuse images',[21][22][23] refers to images or films depicting sexually explicit activities involving a child. As such, child pornography is often a visual record of child sexual abuse.[24][25][26] Abuse of the child occurs during the sexual acts which are photographed in the production of child pornography,[24][25][27][28] and the effects of the abuse on the child (and continuing into maturity) are compounded by the wide distribution and lasting availability of the photographs of the abuse.[29][30][31]
    Child sex trafficking often involves child pornography.[17] Children are commonly purchased and sold for sexual purposes without the parents knowing. In these cases, children are often used to produce child pornography, especially sadistic forms of child pornography where they may be tortured.[17]”

  • Sexual trauma-induced sexual recklessness of my much younger days
    “Behaviors present in the acute stage can include:
    Diminished alertness.
    Numbness.
    Dulled sensory, affective and memory functions.
    Disorganized thought content.
    Vomiting.
    Nausea.
    Paralyzing anxiety.
    Pronounced internal tremor.
    Obsession to wash or clean themselves.
    Hysteria, confusion and crying.
    Bewilderment.
    Acute sensitivity to the reaction of other people. RAINN identifies five main coping strategies during the outward adjustment phase:
    minimization (pretending 'everything is fine')
    dramatization (cannot stop talking about the assault)
    suppression (refuses to discuss the rape)
    explanation (analyzes what happened)
    flight (moves to a new home or city, alters appearance)
    Other coping mechanisms that may appear during the outward adjustment phase include:
    poor health in general.
    continuing anxiety
    sense of helplessness
    Carelessness of themselves or others around them (they could not protect themselves against the attack so they lose self care)
    hypervigilance
    inability to maintain previously close relationships
    experiencing a general response of nervousness known as the "startle response".
    persistent fear and or depression at much higher rates than the general population
    mood swings from relatively happy to depression or anger
    extreme anger and hostility (they are very hateful towards the ones that are closest to them. Some survivors may even say "I HATE PEOPLE" or "I HATE THE WORLD".
    sleep disturbances such as vivid dreams and recurring nightmares
    insomnia, wakefulness, night terrors
    flashbacks
    dissociation (feeling like one is not attached to one's body)
    panic attacks
    reliance on coping mechanisms, some of which may be beneficial (e.g., philosophy and family support), and others that may ultimately be counterproductive (e.g., self harm, drug, or alcohol abuse.
    Lifestyle:
    Survivors in this stage can have their lifestyle affected in some of the following ways:
    Their sense of personal security or safety is damaged.
    They feel hesitant to enter new relationships.
    Questioning their sexual identity or sexual orientation (more typical of men raped by other men or women raped by other women.
    Sexual relationships become disturbed. Many survivors have reported that they were unable to re-establish normal sexual relations and often shied away from sexual contact for some time after the rape. Some report inhibited sexual response and flashbacks to the rape during intercourse. Conversely, some rape survivors become hyper-sexual or promiscuous following sexual attacks, sometimes as a way to reassert a measure of control over their sexual relations.
    Some rape survivors may see the world as a more threatening place to live in, so they will place restrictions on their lives, interrupting their normal activity. For example, they may discontinue previously active involvements in societies, groups or clubs, or a parent who was a survivor of rape may place restrictions on the freedom of their children.”

  • Organized crime harmed women the most in body and inner life
    “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]”

  • The traumatic correlation between sports and organized crime
    “Organized crime (or organised crime) is a category of transnational, national, or local groupings of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals to engage in illegal activity, most commonly for profit. While organized crime is generally thought of as a form of illegal business, some criminal organizations, such as terrorist groups, rebel forces, and separatists, are politically motivated. Many criminal organizations rely on fear or terror to achieve their goals or aims as well as to maintain control within the organization and may adopt tactics commonly used by authoritarian regimes to maintain power. Some forms of organized crime simply exist to cater towards demand of illegal goods in a state or to facilitate trade of goods and services that may have been banned by a state (such as illegal drugs or firearms). Sometimes, criminal organizations force people to do business with them, such as when a gang extorts money from shopkeepers for "protection".[1] Street gangs may often be deemed organized crime groups or, under stricter definitions of organized crime, may become disciplined enough to be considered organized. A criminal organization can also be referred to as a gang, mafia, mob,[2][3] (crime) ring,[4] or syndicate;[5] the network, subculture, and community of criminals involved in organized crime may be referred to as the underworld or gangland. Sociologists sometimes specifically distinguish a "mafia" as a type of organized crime group that specializes in the supply of extra-legal protection and quasi-law enforcement. Academic studies of the original "Mafia", the Italian Mafia,[6] which predates the other groups, generated an economic study of organized crime groups and exerted great influence on studies of the Russian mafia,[7] the Chinese Triads,[8] the Hong Kong Triads,[9] and the Japanese Yakuza.[10]” “Sport pertains to any form of physical activity or game,[1] often competitive and/or organized, that aims to use, maintain, or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators.[2] Sports can, through casual or organized participation, improve participants' physical health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the contest (a match) is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a regular sports season, followed in some cases by playoffs.”

  • Dualities regarding my childhood relationship with God
    “In religion, ethics, philosophy, and psychology "good and evil" is a very common dichotomy. In cultures with Manichaean and Abrahamic religious influence, evil is perceived as the dualistic antagonistic opposite of good, in which good should prevail and evil should be defeated.[1] In cultures with Buddhist spiritual influence, both good and evil are perceived as part of an antagonistic duality that itself must be overcome through achieving Śūnyatā meaning emptiness in the sense of recognition of good and evil being two opposing principles but not a reality, emptying the duality of them, and achieving a oneness.[1].” By the way, one-sided sex in organized crime is bad and at times, I had one-sided self in college. I no longer have one-sided sex. “Spill it” means explain yourself in organized crime, but “spill it” is harmless outside of organized crime. I was forced to shoot twenty-five guys in the rib cages by human traffickers who put a gun to my five-year old head, but they all survived. The victims got the traffickers jailed, and chose not to report me because I didn’t purposefully shoot them. I never fired kill shots in the temple region. I was forced to rob people at gunpoint by some human traffickers, but I would quickly them all of their stuff back before we left each other’s physical presences. The robbery victims were able to imprison those human traffickers, and keep me out of their law enforcement reporting because I didn’t purposefully shoot them. I never robbed a female and I never shot a female and I never purposefully struck a female. I never fought a female physically. I never aimed at a female when it came to deadly weapons and my body. There are church people being accused, indicted, arraigned, processed, arrested, prosecuted, imprisoned, death penalty sentenced, in witness protection programs, experiencing witness immunity, and having whistleblower protection. I knew people living all of these exact same realities within organized crime. Some witnesses were victims of violence and murder (in jail and outside of jail), but most survived and were well-protected in jail and outside of jail. “Living large” and luxurious attire both happen within organized crime (church criminals and non-church criminals). In organized crime, restraining orders are real and court-orders are real. Both were violated even violently and murderously, but for the most part, but were honored.

  • All of the rest of the reasons why I as (adult Antonio) am secular, not practicing any religion, non-religious, unchurched, de-churched, and non-churched! The church covers up its own organized crime!

    “Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. In moral psychology, it is the failure to follow one's own expressed moral rules and principles.[1]According to British political philosopher David Runciman, "Other kinds of hypocritical deception include claims to knowledge that one lacks, claims to a consistency that one cannot sustain, claims to a loyalty that one does not possess, claims to an identity that one does not hold".[2] American political journalist Michael Gerson says that political hypocrisy is "the conscious use of a mask to fool the public and gain political benefit".[3]

    Hypocrisy has been a subject of folk wisdomand wisdom literature from the beginnings of human history. Increasingly, since the 1980s, it has also become central to studies in behavioral economics, cognitive science, cultural psychology, decision making, ethics, evolutionary psychology, moral psychology, political sociology, positive psychology, social psychology, and sociological social psychology.”

  • I was the kid version of the Apostle Paul. Child Antonio was truly an unconventional Christian boy! I did the impossible by being a Kingdom disciple in the number one pure evil called organized crime!

    My beliefs as a child that my adult self totally respects: “Christianity Beliefs: Some basic Christian concepts include: Christians are monotheistic, i.e., they believe there’s only one God, and he created the heavens and the earth. This divine Godhead consists of the father (God himself), the son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. The essence of Christianity revolves around life, death, and Christian beliefs in the resurrection of Jesus. Christians believe God sent his son Jesus, the Messiah, to save the world. They believe Jesus was crucified on the cross to offer the forgiveness of sins and was resurrected three days after his death before ascending to heaven. Christians contend that Jesus will return to earth again in what’s known as the Second Coming. The Holy Bible includes important scriptures that outline Jesus’s teachings, the lives, and the teachings of major prophets and disciples, and offer instructions for how Christians should live. Both Christians and Jews follow the Old Testament of the Bible, but Christians also embrace the New Testament. The cross is a symbol of Christianity. The most important Christian holidays are Christmas (which celebrates the birth of Jesus) and Easter (which commemorates the resurrection of Jesus).”
