Why did Baobab choose a "Community Benefit Society" (Bencom) structure over a normal charity? Because it allows them to operate as a democratic co-operative where members (over 1,000 of them) can vote on how to spend the money. Under this dual-structure, they can claim "charitable purpose" to get the tax breaks, while using the "Foundation" side to conduct political activities that traditional charities would be banned from doing. It is the ultimate legal loophole.

Preso desde 1981, o criminoso Michael Lerma, o "Big Mike", de 69 anos, apontado como o "dono" de Pomona, na Califórnia, e membro da eMe (Máfia Mexicana), foi condenado novamente à prisão perpétua sem condicional nos Estados Unidos. A sentença de prisão perpétua contra Big Mike refere-se a duas acusações de homicídio e uma de extorsão. Além dele, também foram condenados Juan Sanchez, o "Squeaks", e José Valencia, o "Swifty", que teriam cumprido a ordem de Mike para matar um detento que mantinha uma dívida de 4,5 mil dólares com ele. O detento, chamado Steve Bencom, era viciado em heroína e foi assassinado em junho de 2020 por ordens de Mike. Big Mike, ou "Mike de Pomona", como é conhecido, é membro da eMe (Máfia Mexicana) e está cumprindo pena em um presídio federal. Todas as gangues de rua de Pomona pagam uma taxa de proteção para operar nas ruas. Em cada região, há um "emero" (membro da eMe) responsável pela coleta desse dinheiro, e Mike era o encarregado disso pelos outros carnales (membros) da eMe, por ser nascido e criado na região.

Both the .com and .com.au are taken for the prefix bencom. Any other domain name suggestions? I want to keep it simple.

In the ’90s, my dad ran a one-man tech consulting business. It was called Bencom. He even had the domain, back when owning your own dot-com was pretty unique. He eventually shut it down, and the domain lapsed (some logistics company uses it now). But now I’m thinking… maybe one day i’ll bring it back. A new Bencom. A new era. Would be kind of poetic, right?

Onaj politički kompas koji sam postavio - pogledaj kvotovani tvit i razgovor sa Davidom Bencom (Izraelcem) u okviru koga je. Ja se ovde dopisujem sa cionistima iz Izraela vrlo često. Učim o ljudima tako što pričam sa njima.
