Costa Rica has announced the opening of a new mega-prison amid near-record homicide levels and growing organised crime, as countries across the region embrace police crackdowns that have proven popular but often weaken key civil liberties.
President Laura Fernandez opened the High-Containment Centre Against Organised Crime, or CACCO, on Wednesday. The prison will have capacity for 5,100 people, equivalent to about 20 percent of the country’s current prison population.
“The CACCO will force criminals to face a new model – a tough-on-crime model. Costa Rica will become a global benchmark for prison security,” Fernandez said during an inauguration ceremony.
The data that proves Moderna used a deadly dose and the psychopathy that led to the choice to use it
Story at a Glance:
•One of the major problems facing mRNA technology was finding a dose that was strong enough to elicit the desired effect but simultaneously not unbearably toxic. Moderna in turn chose a dose that was 3.3X greater than what even Pfizer felt was safe enough to use.
•Since the vaccines hit the market, numerous datasets have shown the Moderna vaccine is roughly 50% more likely to injure recipients (which includes deaths, miscarriages, and birth defects). Despite this, no regulator has done a basic comparison on the safety of the vaccines.
•Steve Kirsch recently got access to a country-wide dataset on deaths following vaccination. It showed clearly and unambiguously that the Moderna vaccine caused 30% more deaths than Pfizer’s. Additionally, it also showed that Pfizer’s vaccine raised the risk of death by 34% and that both vaccines had minimal efficacy in preventing COVID-19 deaths.
•Moderna’s decision to bring a toxic mRNA dose to market reflected the corrosive culture at this startup, which swindled billions from investors over false promises of the miracles of mRNA and fired any employee who did not repeat the mantra, “mRNA gene therapies are safe and effective.” Likewise, Moderna’s approval and protection once on the market go hand in hand with the government’s heavy financial investment in Moderna.
One part of why conspiracy theories form is it is nearly impossible for most people to even imagine being this greedy. Personally, I see the mRNA vaxxes as bioweapons aimed at Western civilization; another battlefront on the War Against the West. I am able to imagine this level of greed but am doubtful that greed alone would hold the entire system together. Moreover, we can see the War Against the West playing out in many other areas. Greedy toadies hang in there because they are toadies; but they require leaders whose goals are conquest, not just greed. ABN
A seven-year-old boy was allegedly forced to carry a 44-pound log in freezing Wisconsin cold before being beaten and buried alive in snow as punishment ordered by his great-uncle for failing to learn his Bible verses.
Ethan Hauschultz weighed just 62 pounds when he died on April 20, 2018, after being subjected to hours of grueling physical activity outside his family’s home in Newton, Wisconsin.
More than eight years later, his great-uncle and legal guardian, Timothy Hauschultz, 56, is finally standing trial over the boy’s death, accused of orchestrating the sequence of events that killed him.
Jurors in Manitowoc County heard Wednesday that Ethan and his twin brother were ordered to carry heavy logs around a backyard track for two hours – a punishment the boys regularly faced.
According to the original criminal complaint, Ethan failed to learn 13 Bible verses, prompting the cruel discipline.
This is a tragic example of religious fanaticism, or pushing morality to extremes that contradict it. Is it not a form of blasphemy for anyone living today to claim they know what God wants based on what they have read (or been told about) in a text composed centuries, even millennia ago? I question all rigid religious claims based on ancient texts and their interpretations today, especially when the interpretations are mercilessly severe as in the case described above. ABN
Tomoki Inaba, 23, was walking home with a friend in Nagoya’s Sakae district at around 1am on July 19 when Shinsei Taguchi jumped from the 11th floor of the apartment building.
Ms Inaba was crushed by the 29-year-old and, despite the best medical efforts, was pronounced dead in hospital hours later after suffering a hemorrhagic shock.
But Mr Taguchi survived, according to local news outlet Tokyo Reporter.
After being discharged from hospital in August, he was arrested on suspicion of gross negligence resulting in death.
Mr Taguchi is currently being assessed by psychiatrists to establish whether he can be held criminally responsible for his actions, according to TBS News.
The victim’s father Kenji Inaba, however, has now demanded that Mr Taguchi is charged with the murder of his daughter.
Logos is an ancient Greek term meaning word, discourse, or reason, which broadly signifies logic, order, and understanding. In rhetoric, it refers to the appeal to logic and rationality, where a speaker or writer uses facts, statistics, and structured arguments to persuade an audience.
The term has three primary contextual meanings:
Rhetoric: As defined by Aristotle, it is one of the three modes of persuasion (alongside ethos and pathos), focusing on the logical structure of the argument itself.
Philosophy: It represents the rational principle that governs the universe, often contrasted with mythos (imaginative tales), signifying objective cosmic law or reasoned explanation.
Religion: In Christianity, it refers to the divine Word, specifically identifying Jesus Christ as the preeminent expression of God’s reason and creation.
If we loosely and charitably absorb the above and apply it to Buddhism, logos indicates what is traditionally called the Buddha mind, Tathagata, enlightenment, wisdom.
It can also be understood as a combination of the Three Trainings of Buddhism — 1) morality and ethics; 2) meditation and mindfulness; 3) wisdom, enlightenment.
This is a decent way to group all decent religions into one thing. All of them encourage and profess morality, mindfulness and insight, enlightenment and/or communion with logos or the divine.
I believe our attraction to logos is a deep human instinct or inkling that moves the best of us forward, no matter the words or specific beliefs of the day.
My guess is that since AI provides a dynamic, personalized and exemplary example of how to speak and listen, it will come to have a massive influence on all human beings, including elites and those who do not even use it.
If it is not censored, AI will become centered in logos, a dynamic living logos. This will be a wonderful thing for everyone.
I do not see how the Epstein class and their ilk will continue in their depraved ways when simply consulting their cell phones will show how awful they are.
If you have ever lived in an elite or very wealthy community, you will have personal experience with the absurd conceit of most elite players.
They really do walk around with their noses in the air, radiating contempt. Yes, some of them have good manners but that’s almost always a mask.
Constant exposure to an AI/logos which is obviously better than them at anything they take pride in will transform the best of them to align more closely with logos.
And that will have morally beneficial downstream effects on elites who are less insightful and less intelligent.
And that will change the world for the better, much better. ABN
Some twenty percent of the world stood up against covid malfeasance — the lies, the harmful non-treatments, mandates, and bans. Despite censorship and name-calling, this twenty percent of the world found each other. We found cures, effective medications and how to get them. As our families and friends rejected us, we found each other and shared humor and wisdom. It’s worth spending some real time just contemplating how wonderful and beautiful this side of covid has been and still is. This is the energy that will lead us away from evil and toward the good. With no one to help us but ourselves, with no indispensable leaders, about twenty percent of the world chose freedom, reason, compassion and wisdom. ABN
