An Algerian woman who stands accused of torturing, raping, and killing a 12-year-old girl is said to have received ‘an almost sexual pleasure’ while carrying out the violent acts.
Dahbia Benkired, 27, an Algerian migrant living in France, allegedly lured schoolgirl Lola Daviet into her apartment on October 14, 2022. She is currently on day four of her six-day trial at the Paris Assize Court.
Benkired, who had been homeless and reportedly earning money as a prostitute at the time, is accused of partially severing Lola’s head and suffocating her as revenge for the girl’s mother refusing to give her a key to an apartment block.
But in court on Wednesday, Nicolas Estano, 47, a clinical psychologist and expert witness, claimed it was text messages between Benkired and her ex-partner Mustapha M, that led her to allegedly committing the gruesome crimes.
What is the relationship between subjectivity and speech?
Speech is a narrow band compared to subjectivity.
When we awake early in the morning and lie alone in the dark, we often experience the richness of our subjectivity. It can be scary or peaceful or angry or blissful. It can be rich with imagery or memory, sounds, music, emotions.
Then something in us moves and we get up.
Normally, our subjective world starts to close down at this point, especially if we are living with someone. At some point, we will start talking, maybe drink some coffee, while we begin the process of fully awakening the communicative mind. I want to avoid calling this communicative aspect of our minds “objective” because there is nothing particularly objective about it and there is nothing particularly non-objective about our “subjective” mind as described above.
The subjective mind that we experience before arising or in meditation is like a vast mountain range, while the communicative mind—the speaking and listening mind—is like a tiled patio with a few chairs and a table within that mountain range of subjectivity.
Neither of them is better or worse and neither of them can be avoided or removed. Still, the speaking mind does tend to ignore the mountains, our subjectivity, while the subjective mind generally finds it hard to speak at all.
In FIML practice we place great emphasis on removing mistakes while we are speaking, listening, or communicating. This is like cleaning up the patio, making sure the chairs do not have rain on them or that the table does not wobble. Once the patio has been cleaned up, it is time to bring in more communion with your partner about the mountains all around you.
When your partner looks at the mountains—their subjectivity—it’s not the same view that you will have of your subjectivity. But still you are both human and you surely care about one another, so in many respects your subjectivities are not so different. Can you find more ways to share them? Can you find more ways to refer to them as you speak and listen?
FIML practice is capable of completely removing the snowball effects of inevitable mistakes in communication. Once you can do that, start adding more subjectivity, more of the mountains and happy clouds around you.
President Trump’s January Executive Order says in part, “The Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of the appropriate departments and agencies within the Intelligence Community, shall take all appropriate action to review the activities of the Intelligence Community over the last 4 years and identify any instances where the Intelligence Community’s conduct appears to have been contrary to the purposes and policies of this order, and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the National Security Advisor, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken to fulfill the purposes and policies of this order.” {source}
DNI Tulsi Gabbard has been working on this for nine months.
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, heads the Interagency Weaponization Working Group (IWWG) which has been meeting twice a month to coordinate efforts at identifying, targeting and removing people and systems who have abused their authority and weaponized government institutions. The IWWG consists of key people from DNI, DOJ, FBI, Dept of War, IRS, FCC and DHS.
As the Gabbard group begins taking action against the internal silo administrators and corrupt actors, the media are beginning to focus on the group. As a counterattack they construct a narrative that the IWWG is President Trump’s personal targeting team.
(REUTERS) – A group of dozens of officials from across the federal government, including U.S. intelligence officers, has been helping to steer President Donald Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies, according to government records and a source familiar with the effort.
The Interagency Weaponization Working Group, which has been meeting since at least May, has drawn officials from the White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Justice and Defense Departments, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Communications Commission, among other agencies, two of the documents show.
On Friday, we received confirmation that Xi Jinping lost control of the military. Today,
@jenniferzeng97 reports Xi’s movements have been restricted. There are, however, indications that he’s still in charge. So what’s going on? My guess is that Xi’s adversaries do not want to show China’s people and the world that the regime is in turmoil but they do not want Xi to have any real power. He’ll stay on as a figurehead.
Japanese and US researchers, led by the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, have completed the first-ever human trial testing the viability of enteral ventilation, where patients with severe respiratory failure could potentially have oxygen delivered through the intestine, allowing the lungs to recover and to prevent further injury.
The procedure’s safety and tolerability was examined on 27 healthy male adults in Japan, who had oxygen-rich fluid pumped into their anus.
“This is the first human data, and the results are limited solely to demonstrating the safety of the procedure and not its effectiveness,” said researcher Takanori Takebe, MD, PhD, from the Cincinnati Children’s and the University of Osaka. “But now that we have established tolerance, the next step will be to evaluate how effective the process is for delivering oxygen to the bloodstream.”
This research first came about after scientists had studied a type of bottom-feeding fish that swallows air from the surface of the water and absorbs oxygen through its gut, supplementing gill function in poor quality conditions. If humans were able to safely absorb super-oxygenated liquid through their colon, into their bloodstream, it has the potential to provide life-saving emergency treatment to people with blocked airways caused by injury or inflammation, or when lung function has been severely compromised.
