“Autocracy is a system of government in which absolute power over a state is concentrated in the hands of one person, whose decisions are subject neither to external legal restraints nor to regularized mechanisms of popular control (except perhaps for the implicit threat of a coup d'état or other forms of rebellion).[1].”

Organized crime has human rights issues! “Criminal activities:

Arms trafficking, arson, vote buying, electoral fraud, political corruption, assault, bribery, car theft, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, extortion, fencing, fraud, illegal gambling, loan sharking, money laundering, murder, pornography, prostitution, racketeering, robbery, smuggling, theft.” “Boss – The boss is the head of the family, usually reigning as a dictator, sometimes called the Don or "Godfather". The boss receives a cut of every operation. Operations are taken on by every member of the family and of the region's occupying family.[66] Depending on the family, the boss may be chosen by a vote from the caporegimes of the family. In the event of a tie, the underboss must vote. In the past, all the members of a family voted on the boss, but by the late 1950s, any gathering such as that usually attracted too much attention.[67] In practice, many of these elections are seen as having an inevitable result, such as that of John Gotti in 1986. According to Sammy Gravano, a meeting was held in a basement during which all capos were searched and Gotti's men stood ominously behind them. Gotti was then proclaimed boss.

Underboss – The underboss, usually appointed by the boss, is the second in command of the family. The underboss often runs the day-to-day responsibilities of the family or oversees its most lucrative rackets. He usually gets a percentage of the family's income from the boss's cut. The underboss is usually first in line to become acting boss if the boss is imprisoned, and is also frequently seen as a logical successor.”

“Abuse is the improper usage or treatment of a thing, often to unfairly or improperly gain benefit.[1] Abuse can come in many forms, such as: physical or verbal maltreatment, injury, assault, violation, rape, unjust practices, crimes, or other types of aggression. To these descriptions, one can also add the Kantian notion of the wrongness of using another human being as means to an end rather than as ends in themselves.[2] Some sources describe abuse as "socially constructed", which means there may be more or less recognition of the suffering of a victim at different times and societies.[3].”

“Human rights are moral principles or norms[1] for certain standards of human behaviour and are regularly protected in municipal and international law.[2). They are commonly understood as inalienable,[3] fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being"[4] and which are "inherent in all human beings",[5] regardless of their age, ethnic origin, location, language, religion, ethnicity, or any other status.[3] They are applicable everywhere and at every time in the sense of being universal,[1] and they are egalitarian in the sense of being the same for everyone.[3] They are regarded as requiring empathy and the rule of law[6] and imposing an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others,[1][3] and it is generally considered that they should not be taken away except as a result of due process based on specific circumstances.[3].”

“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]

Tenzin Gyatso, the current and 14th Dalai Lama, emphasizes the importance of inner peace in the world:

The question of real, lasting world peace concerns human beings, so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.[2][3].”

“5. A daughter is burned as an acceptable sacrifice to God.

General Jephthah made a vow with God in order to defeat the enemy. When Jephthah won the war, God received his hundred pounds of flesh.

"And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord: 'If you give the Ammonites into my hands, whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.' . . . When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! . . . After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed." (Judges 11:30–39 NIV)

After burning his daughter, Jephthah was rewarded with a prestigious judgeship and was later buried with honor.” Link: https://ffrf.org/publications/freethought-today/item/26141-the-10-worst-old-testament-verses. The church has a history of gun violence and deadly weapon violence. By the way, a lot of people in houses of worship try to hide their tobacco smoking and their nicotine addiction. In my childhood within organized crime, hate crime language and slurs of any kind would cause criminals to be beaten into bloody pulps by me in less than five minutes. The women crime bosses would have me treated as an A-list, VIP celebrity at all of the Sin City nightlife spots that they owned. Did I forgive or not when it comes to the criminals? I say that that’s a gray area for me.

They range from loosely managed agreements among various drug traffickers to formalized commercial enterprises. The term was applied when the largest trafficking organizations reached an agreement to coordinate the production and distribution. The term is used to refer to any criminal narcotics related organization.

The basic structure of a drug cartel is as follows:

Falcons (Spanish: Halcones): Considered as the "eyes and ears" of the streets, the "falcons" are the lowest rank in any drug cartel. They are responsible for supervising and reporting the activities of the police, the military and rival groups.[1]

Hitmen (Spanish: Sicarios): The armed group within the drug cartel, responsible for carrying out assassinations, kidnappings, thefts and extortions, operating protection rackets, as well as defending their plaza (turf) from rival groups and the military.[2][3]

Lieutenants (Spanish: Tenientes): The second highest position in the drug cartel organization, responsible for supervising the hitmen and falcons within their own territory. They are allowed to carry out low-profile murders without permission from their bosses.[4]

Drug lords (Spanish: Capos): The highest position in any drug cartel, responsible for supervising the entire drug industry, appointing territorial leaders, making alliances, in addition to planning high-profile murders.[5]

There are other operating groups within the drug cartels. For example, the drug producers and suppliers,[6] although not considered in the basic structure, are critical operators of any drug cartel, along with the smugglers, distributors, sales representatives, accountants and money launderers.[7][8][9] Furthermore, the arms suppliers operate in a completely different circle;[10] they are technically not considered part of the cartel's logistics.”

“Things To Look For

The porn industry is diverse and there is currently no official “ethical porn” label. Attempts have been made to create a brand but it is difficult to get a consensus on what ethical porn looks like. As a consumer, you can look for some of these things:

Membership of adult industry bodies

An RTA (Restricted to Adults) label on the front of the site.

Mission statements, ethics statements or transparent information about production practices

A willingness to include behind-the-scenes content and performer interviews

A focus on consent in descriptions and within the porn itself

Visit the social media profiles of producers and see what they say and what is said about them.” “Ethical Porn And CyberSafety for Kids

cybersafety

Ethical porn producers care about who is looking at their material. They only want consenting adults to view their porn and take steps to ensure that this happens, through warning pages and filtering labels like the RTA label. But porn producers make porn for adults; it is up to parents to look after what their kids see and to manage how they grow into their sexuality.

The media and politicians like to say that porn is “harmful”, especially for children. The truth is it is simply inappropriate for them; porn is entertainment made for adults who understand sex and sexuality.

Be aware that the internet is generally not child friendly: Youtube is full of disturbing and radicalized videos, news sites contain violent images and video, social media can be a place where bullying occurs. AI algorithms for “related content” increasingly seem to suggest obnoxious content, even from seemingly innocent searches or Youtube viewings.

If you have children, you can be proactive in preventing them from seeing porn and from other inappropriate material. It may take time to set things up but it will be worth it. Here are some practical steps.

Supervise

Make sure you are paying attention to what your child is viewing. Don’t allow them to use a computer or device in places where you can’t see the screen. Make sure they know you’re watching them.” “Talk To Your Kids

All of the above is useful but none of it can substitute the most important part of child safety: communication. It’s hugely important for parents to constantly check in and make sure their child is OK, to ask about what media they’ve seen and then to make an effort to contextualize it.

No filter is foolproof and it’s quite possible that kids will see media you don’t want them to see, either through accident or because a friend showed it to them.

Kids and teens are curious about sex and despite your best efforts, they may work against you. It’s always better to offer age-based information and advice rather than to try and wrap them in cotton wool and keep them ignorant.

Let them know that porn is for adults, that it is entertainment and – like other media – it can often contain negative messages about consent and gender. If they’re older teens let them know that, when they’re of age, they should be seeking out ethical porn.

This page (https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents/issues-and-advice/hard-to-have-conversations) offers advice on how to talk to your kids about porn, including good questions to ask and strategies for making it a less stressful experience.

This advice applies to numerous topics, not just porn. Be aware of fake news sites, anti-feminist Youtube channels, extremist racist sites or other harmful content. Kids need to be taught to be critical about what they see on the internet. Talking to them is always the best strategy to fortify them against negative content.”

“Know the right questions to ask before booking your next shoot.

As a porn performer and independent contractor in the adult entertainment industry, it is your responsibility to ensure that you know the details of the shoot before agreeing to perform in a scene. By asking the right questions you will be able to make an informed decision on whether or not to book a shoot and perform the scene to best of your abilities. You don’t want to show up on set and be caught off guard by something that could potentially ruin a shoot and waste everyone’s time and money.

What

What is the scene or video about? What will you be required to do?

You will want to find out what kind of scene you’ll be shooting. Is it hardcore, softcore, VR, BDSM, Fetish? Will you be performing with a partner, solo, or group? Make sure you are comfortable with the acts you are being asked to perform. Never be afraid to say no.

What is the pay rate?

Simply put, how much will you be paid and how? Some companies may pay by the hour or in blocks, such as a day-rate or half-day. Don’t be afraid to negotiate the pay if you feel it is too low. You will want to find out how you’ll be getting paid. Is it paid in cash or by check? Do you get paid the day of the shoot or is it a payroll check that gets issued at a later date. If you are receiving a payroll check, find out if you need to pick it up from an office or if it will be mailed to you.

What company is it for?

Find out what company the video is for. Research the company and make sure you are okay with working for them and being associated with their brand. Check out the type of content they have produced in the past.

What are the makeup or wardrobe requirements?

You don’t want to show up on set assuming that you will be provided wardrobe and makeup. You may have to supply your own. So ask if wardrobe and makeup is supplied. You may have to do you own makeup or bring wardrobe options for the shoot. Ask if time will be allowed for makeup, if not you’ll have to show camera ready, meaning full hair and makeup done before you arrive on site. When

When does the shoot take place? When is the call time?

You’ll want to find out when the shoot takes place and what time you are expected to be on set. Make sure the shoot fits into your schedule and allow yourself enough time to prepare for your performance.

When does the shoot end?

What is the approximate length of the shoot? Is it a feature that requires long shooting hours or a quick video that can be done in a couple hours?

Who

Who are your co-stars?

Research your scene partner or partners, make sure you are comfortable working with. If you are not comfortable working with that person you have the right to say no. Is the person/persons you’re working STI tested? Will they be able to show their results on the day of the shoot?” Link: https://adulttalentlist.com/pre-booking-questions-for-adult-film-shoots/.

“A crime boss typically has absolute or nearly absolute control over the other members of the organization and is often greatly feared or respected for their cunning, strategy, and/or ruthlessness and willingness to take lives to exert their influence and profits from the criminal endeavors in which the organization engages.[1][2].” “What is a Cult?

What is a cult? A cult is a group with a particular and often dangerously fanatical ideology that has certain characteristics. The term 'cult' comes from the Latin cultus, meaning 'worship. This is reasonable: a cult must have a leader who is either worshipped or greatly revered by the cult's followers. A specific cult definition can be hard to pin down because in order to be a cult, a group must have a number of attributes. People often disagree about what makes a cult, meaning that the definition is fluid. This is true especially in the context of new religious movements: some of these movements have been called cults, while some people have argued against this for a variety of reasons. It is easier, generally, to get to grips with the characteristics of cults than to create a single, all-encompassing definition.” Often one has to camouflage real feelings to not insult the criminals so they won’t use deadly weapons and their fists and their feet as their weapons. And one has to realize that everything about the depictions organized crime in the media is colorful/crass beyond measure and beyond compare in real-life as well as the inhumanity within organized crime is beyond measure and beyond compare too in real-life. I overcame the sexual narcissism, sexual sociopathy, sexual psychopathy, and sexual sickopathy that I endured in organized crime. Those warped ways of sex are taught in a lot of mainstream porn entities.
