SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Dec. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —  Samuel Beniquez(who has more than 300,000 followers on Twitter) promises that his book will reveal horrifying hidden facts of all sorts about the religion known as the Mita Congregation, including even some of a sexual nature. The story begins before his birth and continues until Beniquez’s adult life, when he had to take his biological father to the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico to obtain a DNA test and prove that he truly was his biological father and that his claims were not lies, a legal case that lasted ten years in the courts and created a legal precedent in adoption and family law that will always be studied in law schools. The case was in the public eye in all the conventional and digital media in Puerto Rico and in other countries, since the church has hundreds of thousands of believers and churches in various parts of the world.

WHO: Samuel Beniquez (nominated for an Emmy Award in 2012 and several local, national and international awards), the biological son of Teofilo “Aaron” Vargas Sein, world leader of the Mita Congregation church.
WHAT: The release of the autobiographical book The Child versus the Beast, the story of Samuel Beniquez, son of Aaron.
WHEN: On December 24, 2015, at 2:00 pm (Puerto Rico time, Atlantic Standard Time)
WHERE: The release will occur online and through live streaming on Samuel Beniquez’s official Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/SamuelBeniquez) and simultaneously through Periscope (https://www.periscope.tv/SamuelBeniquez)
WHY: Samuel Beniquez chose December 24th because that was the date that Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was pregnant and felt the pains of childbirth. This is the meaning that Beniquez gives the book: the birth of a truth, the exposure of the truth to the entire world, so that no one else will fall into the grip of dangerous sects that lead to the separation of people from their families due to indoctrination, the impregnation of young girls, and other things that he experienced within the Church of the Mita Congregation, trauma which, during his life, caused him physical, emotional, financial, and other damage. This book will create awareness of a new cause that Samuel Beniquez will discuss with you through the live web-streamed conference on December 24, 2015, at 2:00 pm (Puerto Rico time).

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: The Mita Congregation was founded in Puerto Rico in the year 1940 (in fact, it was recognized by the United States Congress on October 23, 2015, thus overlooking the fact that in the case of Samuel Beniquez, the Mita Congregation has a very shady past. You can find the recognition at: https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/2015/10/23/extensions-of-remarks-section/article/E1522-3 ) and then expanded to various countries worldwide. This publication qualifies as international news, and that is why live streaming was chosen in order to release the book The Child versus the Beast, so that the international press can be present from its respective countries and do their jobs.

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, Dec. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Plans made by Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Officials to welcome more flights from more airlines and tour operators around the world, upon completion of one of the largest and most modern airports in the Eastern Caribbean have rapidly taken off.

The Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Asot Michael, and Tourism Officials, welcomed a fourth airline into the destination, just three months after the opening of the new terminal at the V.C. Bird International Airport.

Seaborne Airlines launched its non-stop service between their hub in San Juan’s Luis Munoz Marin International Airport and Antigua today with a 34 seat Saab 340 aircraft. The inaugural flight departed San Juan at 12:45 pm, and arrived into Antigua at 2:20 pm.

Seaborne Airline Officials, Mr. Hector Montanez – Director of Business Development & Marketing, Mr. Fernando Vazquez – Director of Airports, and Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Officials, Mrs. Paula Frederick-Hunte – Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism, Investment, Economic Development & Energy, and Ms. Shirlene Nibbs – Tourism Consultant for the Tourism Ministry were onboard the flight.

In welcoming the new carrier, Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Asot Michael called Seaborne Airlines, “the largest regional operator in the Caribbean.”

“The entrance of Seaborne, provides passengers with one additional option for travelling to Antigua and Barbuda, quicker and more conveniently.

“As a regional hub, the more modern V.C. Bird International Airport, was extremely appealing and advantageous to Seaborne as they seek to expand their services throughout the wider Caribbean.”

Commenting on the inaugurals held to date, the Minister said, “Our mandate is to grow airlift and to enhance our existing strategic positioning.”

“JetBlue’s launch into Antigua and Barbuda earlier in December, and today’s arrival of Seaborne, is especially significant, due to the codeshare agreement signed between the two airlines in October. What this codeshare means to the everyday traveler is that they will be able to travel from JetBlue serviced territories in the United States, to Antigua seamlessly, with one ticket, one check-in and reliable baggage transfer.”

Seaborne’s partnership with JetBlue Airways, as well as Air Europa, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and United Airlines, means that, the airline can provide connections for passengers from thirty-three other destinations in the Americas as well as in Europe, into Antigua and Barbuda.

“We are excited to introduce Antigua as the 17th airport served by Seaborne Airlines; the fastest growing airline in the Caribbean,” said Seaborne CEO and President Gary Foss.

“I am confident that our customers throughout the region will benefit from Seaborne’s unmatched customer service commitment, low fares and connectivity to our airline partners.”

Flights from Antigua to San Juan depart at 3:05 pm and arrive at 4:40 pm.

V.C. Bird International Airport’s growing portfolio of passenger airlines maintains Antigua and Barbuda’s position as a major hub in the Eastern Caribbean.

Seaborne Airlines has been operating in the Caribbean for over 23 years, carrying approximately 3 million customers safely. With over 1,500 monthly departures to 17 airports, Seaborne serves San Juan’s Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, St. Thomas airport and Seaplane base, St. Croix airport and Seaplane base, Anguilla, Antigua, Tortola, Dominica, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Martin, St. Kitts, Nevis, La Romana, Punta Cana, and Santo Domingo.

No Backroom Legislating on Puerto Rico

0

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, Dec. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement should be attributed to Center for Individual Freedom President Jeffrey Mazzella.

“Congress should reject any and all riders attached to the omnibus spending bill relating to the Puerto Rico debt crisis.

“The American people did not empower this Congress so that it could use gravely important policy decisions as currency in surreptitious budget negotiations made necessary by their inability to cut wasteful spending. The fate of Puerto Rico’s economy and the precedents set by a solution to its debt crisis are far too important to be decided in a hurried, backroom game of politics.

“If Congress feels it appropriate to intervene in Puerto Rico, then it should do so in plain sight and through the full legislative process, after thoroughly assessing the full range of available policy options. A hurried attempt to approve an all-powerful control board or Super Chapter 9 is a betrayal of the trust of constituents and the Puerto Rican people.

“The Center for Individual Freedom will continue to monitor this situation closely and encourage a transparent resolution process that balances the needs of the Puerto Rican government with the rights of all stakeholders.”
