Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The owner of a Florida-based farmworker company has been sentenced to 118 months in prison on racketeering and forced-labor conspiracy charges.

U.S. District Court Judge Charlene Edward Honeywell of the Middle District of Florida sentenced Bladimir Moreno, 55, Thursday and ordered him to pay more than $175,000 in restitution to the victims, all of whom were Mexican H-2A agricultural workers between 2015 and 2017.

According to court documents, Moreno owned and operated Los Villatoros Harvesting, a farm-labor contracting company that employed Mexican workers on H-2A agricultural visas. Authorities say that once the farmworkers arrived in the United States, Moreno used false promises and coercion to compel the workers to labor under harsh conditions in Florida, Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia and North Carolina.

Authorities say Moreno and his co-conspirators coerced H-2A agricultural workers by imposing debts on them, confiscating their passports and keeping them in the United States after their visas had expired. He also forced workers into "crowded, unsanitary and degrading living conditions" and threatened workers with arrest and deportation if they didn't meet his demands.

Federal investigators say Moreno also gave investigators fraudulent worker records during their probe of operations at Los Villatoros Harvesting.

"This defendant abused his power as a business owner to capitalize on the victims' vulnerabilities and immigration status, luring those seeking a better quality of life with false promises of lawful work paying a fair wage," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "The defendant forced Mexican agricultural workers to labor under inhumane conditions, confiscated their passports, imposed exorbitant fees and debts, and threatened them with deportation or false arrest."

Justice Department officials charged Moreno in 2021, and he pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiracy under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, as well as conspiracy to commit forced labor. Two of his co-defendants previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy under the RICO Act and previously were sentenced in October. Christina Gamez, a U.S. citizen who worked for Los Villatoros Harvesting as a bookkeeper and supervisor, was sentenced to 37 months in prison. Guadalupe Mendes Mendoza, 45, pleaded guilty to conspiring to obstruct a federal investigation and was sentenced to eight months of home detention and a $5,500 fine.

RELATED Supreme Court rules against unions organizing on California farms

The Palm Beach County, Fla., Human Trafficking Task Force and the county's Sheriff's Office investigated the case with help from multiple Department of Labor investigators and worker-rights organizations. The Florida-based Coalition of Immokalee Workers said it assisted federal investigators after two workers escaped from their employers' control by hiding in the trunk of a car and escaping to seek help.

"Forcing individuals to work against their will using abusive and coercive tactics is not only unconscionable but illegal," said U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg for the Middle District of Florida. "We will continue to work with our task force partners to combat human trafficking in all its forms, including prosecuting those who exploit vulnerable workers."

Anyone with information about human trafficking can report it to the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888.

Born To Kill COMPLETE SERIES 2005-2016

“Going back to the age-old Nature vs Nurture debate, a good way to think about it is that genetics provide an individual with a spectrum and the individual’s environment, developmental and otherwise, determines where you lie on it. A predisposition may lie dormant for eternity, but feed it a stressful environment and increased risk factors such as malnourishment and trauma, and it will manifest. Clinical facts must be tempered with ethical concerns when applying science to society.” Source

III- My shadow

Pat Daley addressed the gathered community of the ranch and recounted seeing an angel land in her garden while she was preparing preserves in her kitchen. She was referring to her recently deceased daughter, who was full of courage. At 12 years old, her daughter had jumped off the roof of their house with an umbrella, thinking she would land softly. The mother explained that the child ended up with a double arm fracture but never cried once.

While she was speaking, I felt as if I were being watched, as if someone was observing my every movement or expression. I dared to glance at the stage where the Ottos were, and my eyes met Troy's: this sociopath was staring at me with a mocking, even disturbing, expression. What was his problem?

Charlene's mother continued her speech and added that her daughter had risked her life for the unprepared: that is, us. The others gave us dark looks in reaction to the grieving mother's words. We didn't seem to be welcome here, yet my mother wanted us to stay, at least for a while. I felt like bursting into laughter at these words; they considered us unprepared, but they probably never set foot outside this ranch of conspiracy theorists. And the only ones who had done so were busy killing humans for science and were part of a group of deranged military personnel. What more could I ask for, I sarcastically thought to myself.

But I knew it wouldn't be easy; the community members didn't trust us, and we didn't trust them: a 50-50 split.

My mother suddenly stood up and spoke: "My name is Madison Clarke, and these are my children, Nick, Alicia, and Bella. We are deeply sorry for Charlene and for all those you have lost. We have lost loved ones too." She paused and continued, "Travis," she repeated his name with emotion, "Travis was our compass. We wanted to thank you for welcoming us into your home and for your generosity. You won't regret it."

Jack took the floor next and said, "We've all been through that; it's what brings us together, and mourning is hard, but it's important that we get through it."

Before he could finish, a man interrupted him and asked about finding out who shot at the helicopter.

"I'm sorry, I know it takes time to move on, and Pat has the right to grieve, but I want to know who shot at the helicopter."

Jack replied to the man named Vernon, "Vernon, we'll find out," he said. 

"When?" the man impatiently asked.

 "Believe me, we'll take care of it." 

"How long will it take?" The man pointed at Jeremiah. 

"Jeremiah, please..."

The old man replied, "Nothing has changed, Vernon, don't worry. We still intend to fight. We asked Station Alpha to inspect the crash site. Once we know who we're dealing with, we'll act. If it's a madman, we'll act, and if it's an even greater challenge, we'll act," he concluded.

Then a new voice spoke, and Troy took the floor: "He talks about revenge. We'll find him, and we'll make him pay, whether the threat is big or small, we'll set things right."

The voices of the people around us echoed; they agreed with Troy, they wanted revenge, and I must say, so did I. Travis had been killed by these lunatics, and they would pay for it.

"Wait, we'll get justice when we know exactly what we're dealing with. We can't afford to scatter; we must represent the hope of a new world..."

I never thought I'd agree with Troy, but on this one, he was right. Whoever had killed Travis and nearly killed my sister would pay, that was certain. Troy looked at me, I didn't break the exchange, I should have, but I didn't. I didn't know why, but this time, I didn't look at him with disdain but more with understanding. He wanted to protect these people, and I wanted to protect my family.

After this meeting, my mother and Alicia headed towards the cafeteria for lunch. I joined them a few minutes later after checking on Luciana and seeing if her wounds were healing well.

The three of us ate together. Alicia told me about her encounter with Gretchen Trimbol, Vernon's daughter, and her invitation to a group called "Resurrected Christ." My mother had forced her to participate to integrate into the ranch. I couldn't help but laugh and mock her; I knew my sister inside out, and that was everything she hated.

Unfortunately, karma seemed to have it in for me, and I spilled my coffee on myself.

"Damn!" I exclaimed. 

"Guess you should have kept your mouth shut instead of mocking me," teased Alicia. 

"Shut up," I interrupted. I stood up, sighing, and heard my sister laughing behind my back. What a lovely day ahead.

I headed towards our cabin, and once there, I closed the door to avoid the whole ranch seeing my breasts and took off my top.

My bra was soaked, as was my sweater. Damn it, I took it off too and felt the breeze on my bare back. As I put on a clean shirt, I noticed someone in the bed. I hadn't seen them when I came in; it must have been Nick taking a nap. Privacy wasn't much of a thing here.

I asked, "How's Luciana?" 

"She's still alive," came a familiar voice.

I immediately turned around and saw Troy coming out of the bunk. What a freaking psychopath. I hoped he had enjoyed his peeping because that was reason enough for me to gouge out his other eye.

"You crazy jerk! What the hell!"

"I really liked your mother's speech," he taunted me. "Especially when she said his name, Travis. It gives him importance, makes him real."

"He was real," I countered. 

"But that's not why she talked about him. It wasn't heartfelt; it was calculated. She wanted to remind us that you were also victims." 

"What are you insinuating? That you're a victim? Let me laugh; you're a freaking monster. You kill people and call it science. So, keep your remarks to yourself and get the hell out of here."

There was a pause, then he asked me, with a calmer voice, without mockery, "What were you doing in the old world? He hesitated, I mean, my father said you studied medicine. What was it like?"

I took a moment to think, should I answer him? "It was tough, but I loved it." 

"I never went to high school. 'Troy has some socialization difficulties that prevent him from integrating into a normal school curriculum.'" 

"And look at you, years later, killing innocents. I doubt they were wrong," I sarcastically retorted. 

"I did it for everyone; I thought you'd understand." 

"But that's not the case, you condemned them to death." 

"They were already doomed, I spared them suffering." 

"You're not a savior, Troy; you're a murderer."

He moved closer to the window and looked at the people outside, then continued, "Everything I've done is for them; they deserve to live and feel protected. Everything I do, I do solely for this place." 

"Does your father believe you when you say that?" I asked. 

"Yes, he understands. Complicated problems require complicated solutions." 

"Killing people isn't complicated; it's very simple." 

"You see, you also understand me and understand this world."

Those words sent a chill down my spine, but despite everything, I had killed people too, to protect myself and my family. At first, I felt guilty for taking lives, but as time passed, it became more natural, as if I had always done it. So, if he was a murderer, I was just as much of one.

How could he always get into my head and make me question myself? He was like a shadow behind me, like the demon on my shoulder. Every time we talked or looked at each other, something happened. I had to vanquish the monster because he was my shadow, the dark part of my being.

Courts are a web of conspiracies. It is a place of scheming, power plays, intrigue, & machinations. This was a decadent court.

A group of the finest actors, cooks, dancers, directors, fashion designers, models, musicians, painters, photographers, playwrights, poets, sculptures, singers, theater thespians, & writers, etc in the empire, confederacy, & federation. They weren’t there for their own ambition. The monarchy and the upper class are inclined to support the arts. They wanted to show off their investments. So these artists are their accessories to show off. Though being in the court of a monarch is a good way for artists to increase their patrons.   

Bodyguards. Cadre of foreign bodyguards. An elite group of highly trained, disciplined, & competent male, female, & two spirit hobgoblin, orc, troll, oni, goliath, & giant mercenaries. Mercenaries who distinguished themselves on the battlefield stood a good chance of being hired for a bodyguard job as a permanent exclusive contract. They are now a group of a praetorian guard to the monarch.   

Ahmose Idogbe. A male butler. The chief supervisor of all male manservants of a house.

Katlego Mba. A male castellan. The Castellan oversees the defense of a stronghold.

Alexander Seidel is a male confessor. A priest who hears confessions and gives absolution and spiritual counsel.

Anna Wolf is a female constable. A person holding a particular office, most commonly in criminal law enforcement.

Courtiers. Important not because of their inheritance or offices but because the regent has an affection for them. There is a certain charm, boldness, cleverness, honesty, strength, & beauty that caught the monarch’s eye. Their influence on the leader is not easily measured.

Jesters entertained with a wide variety of skills such as song, dance, playing musical instruments (a lute or a harp), spoken word poetry, storytelling, acrobatics, juggling, telling jokes, and performing magic tricks. Much of the entertainment was performed in a comic style. Many jesters made contemporary jokes in words or songs about people or events well known to their audiences. A halfling bard who was a former member of the king/queen’s guild party. They were a court wizard and spymaster for the sovereign in secret.

Well, nothing like channeling Christmas a little early . . .

Gets it all over and done with . . .

A frightfully post-post modern Christmas it is too . . .

So many twists and references . . .

I suppose I would have to watch it frequently for several decades and really do my homework to catch them all . . .

But . . .

That’s Hollywood . . .

Particularly durning Christmas madness . . .

Enjoy . . .

It's interesting on how Piedmont housing Alliance says and does nothing about people leaving food and other items lay. This morning we have refrigerated things laying in the lobby. They do not enforce the lease or they selectively enforce the lease. Charlene green suffers from CRS. It seems to be that the rules only apply to certain people the lease only applies to certain people. Clark's too busy sitting on her ass in the office to actually do her job you know that job that she's contractually obligated and bound to do. People keep on leaving their crap lay around but Piedmont housing Alliance does nothing about it. Even though the lease says don't leave things laying around.

PREORDER NOW: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/leavings-from-my-table-by-charlene-stegman-moskal/

This chapbook is intended to share the aftermath that attends the departure of loved ones. There are poems that speak to memory as well as those that address the immediacy of grief and the affirmation that love is resilient, precious, brave and permanent. I hope that this book of poetry resonates with the readers as it pays tribute and honors those who have left. In order to heal there must be the acceptance of life, death and love in all its manifestations.

Charlene Stegman Moskal is a Teaching Artist with The Alzheimer’s Poetry Project under the auspices of the Poetry Promise Organization of Las Vegas. She is a visual artist, a performer, a voice for NPR’s Theme and Variations as well as a writer.

Charlene has been published in Humana Obscura, Connecticut River Review, The Pensive Journal, Southwestern American Literature, Dash, TAB and numerous other anthologies, magazines, and online. Her first chapbook is “One Bare Foot”, (Zeitgeist Press, 2018). This chapbook has been written as a memorial to those loved and who have left her life table.

She can be found mostly at home in her studio, or with friends in coffee shops and on Zoom workshops sharing writing and stories.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Leavings From My Table by Charlene Stegman Moskal

Beautifully lyrical and deeply elegiac, Charlene Stegman Moskal’s Leavings from My Table is an exquisite exploration of the body as vessel and emotion. These poems remind us that grief is an excruciating – as “imaginary spaces shimmer, / fade in a moment’s breath” – yet brilliant form of palpable love: “the empty passenger seat of my car / that still bears your shadow,” “the twigs of abandoned birds’ nests,” a gentle note that “None of us are the sun.” Moskal reminds us that our bodies, our hearts, and our minds are radiant and failing, substantial but never quite decipherable. They might be best understood as living verbs and imagistic metaphors, “neurotic pieces” hanging “marionette-like on nerve strings, on loose raw tendons,” which can become strong and steady – solid as “cinder block,” “fierce and protective,” “insulated by structure and hope” – when we allow ourselves to exist within the conditions of profound and time-tested love, that of one’s self, one’s friend, one’s partner.

–Heather Lang-Cassera, author of Gathering Broken Light, Clark County, Nevada Poet Laureate Emeritus

Charlene Stegman Moskal explores the fraught territory of grief in images both vivid and physical. “There is a hairline crack / in the bone o my heart,” she writes; “my palm is an empty cavity.” She mourns the loss of permanence, “an improbable house sitting in a field of sand.” She knows the moments when the simplest actions become ambushes: “I open a drawer/ and my heart falls into it.” Anyone who has experienced loss – and that is all of us – will find resonance in these poems.

–Deborah L. Fruchey, author of Three Kinds of Dark Editor, Our Lady of Telegraph Avenue: A Tribute o Julia Vinograd

These Leavings aren’t castoffs or scraps as much as they are farewells. In these poems, Charlene Stegman Moskal speaks to that part of us that wonders how to keep going when so much of us – and those we’ve loved – have been left behind.

–Will Everett, Author of We’ll Live Tomorrow NPR Documentarian and Journalist
