She was given two of these titles when she participated in an Ayahuasca ceremony in 2017. In fact, it was in a message given to her, and outlined by a cosmic consciousness that radiated love, light and peace.“There was a total immersion into sexual bliss and love..” Moon said about her spiritual encounter. She wasn’t sure if the message being dished out to her…was really meant for her, and asked, “are you sure? me?” Raw visceral love flowed through her in confirmation that, she better believe it…Moon Maison was a ‘Sex Goddess’, and not just of sex, but also love and healing.Which made sense in a strange, coming full circle kind of way.It was a tall order but who could argue with the logic spoken by a Spirit or God? Especially when the message aligned with everything she knew and learned, having done copious amounts of soul work up to that point.S...

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 10:44:21 GMT

After Pennsylvania authorities issued a bombshell report in 2018 detailing widespread sexual abuse of children and coverup in the Roman Catholic church, California’s attorney general invited victims here to share their stories. The next year, the state subpoenaed half of California’s Roman Catholic dioceses.What California authorities have learned since remains a mystery.And for victims of long-ago abuse seeking justice in the courts while the state’s dioceses increasingly seek bankruptcy protection, the silence is a growing aggravation — especially as other states, notably Illinois and Maryland, recently issued their own reports, revealing a devastating past of abuse by hundreds of clergy of thousands of children.“The public deserves to know what you have already uncovered,” SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said in a letter Wednesday to California Attorney General Rob Bonta. “We urge you to release a report, or at lea...

OAKLAND — The massive ransomware attack that exposed reams of sensitive personal data stored by the city is now the subject of a class-action lawsuit by city employees who say their information wasn’t properly protected.It’s the latest development in a torturous saga for Oakland’s city government that began when online hackers infiltrated the city’s data systems, which critics say had been left vulnerable to attack by inadequate security measures, in January.Since then, ransomware group Play has dumped hundreds of thousands of web pages worth of home addresses, driver’s license information, medical data, social security numbers and more onto the dark web, where they can be accessed by anyone with the correct software.The lawsuit, filed in late April by police services technician Hada Gonzalez, seeks monetary damages and attorney’s costs from the city, plus a requirement for Oakland officials “to protect, including through encryption, all data coll...

However, it unfortunately minimized the expected economic impact of this plan.WETA’s own communications describe their intention to charge “partner” cities for subsidization of their operations. In Berkeley’s case, this would amount to a $6 million annual hit to the city’s budget. All this in the face of a looming transportation “fiscal cliff” and decades of deferred park maintenance.WETA’s 2008 attempt to build a Berkeley ferry terminal was redirected to a much more environmentally and economically ...
