A photograph taken in Salta‚ Argentina went viral in May 2020. The ghostly figure of a woman dressed in white (La Llorona) can be seen behind the policeman‚ who is taking a selfie.The following account was forwarded by my associate‚ Osvaldo A. Greco:Date: May 21‚ 2020A photograph taken in Salta‚ Argentina went viral. The ghostly figure of a woman dressed in white can be seen behind the policeman.The photo was taken during a patrol along Salta Provincial Highway 5.A selfie taken by a Salta police officer went viral hours ago‚ showing the presence of a ghostly female figure that was recognized by many as "La Llorona." Accompanying the image‚ which was shared through WhatsApp‚ was a series of audio claiming the police officer was admitted to a clinic "foaming from the mouth" following the incident.According to the message‚ the agent was engaged in a COVID-19 health and safety patrol along Provincial Route No.5 near the "Carboncito" wilderness when he decided to take a selfie.Upon noticing that "La Llorona" was in the photo‚ the audio explains: "The man felt unconscious to the ground and foam in his mouth‚ while one of his companions prayed and a third one didn't know where to run as a result of the fear and despair of hearing the heart rendering screams of the wandering spirit." It ends by saying that the young man was admitted. "He is now in the hospital‚ and he seems insane.""La Llorona" is a Latin American legend whose origins can be traced to Mexico. According to the story‚ it is the ghost of a woman who was in love with a Spanish knight at the time.The young woman had three children with the man‚ but after insisting that they formalize their relationship‚ she was deserted and left to her fate. This broke her heart‚ and in an act of madness‚ she drowned the children and committed suicide.Due to this‚ her soul becomes a wandering spirit‚ haunting cities‚ rivers‚ and roads weeping disconsolately while she looks for her children‚ haunting those she comes across.Even though the Salta police have issued no statements about the situation‚ several officers from the area where the events took place reported anonymously that the photo had been tampered with using an app‚ while the audios were fraudulent.Source: Ambito (Argentina) and Marisol Roldán (Spain)HAVE A COMMENT?

Almost eight in 10 Americans believe that karma is real. And‚ perhaps inspired by that notion‚ 84% say they will go out of their way to “pay it forward” whenever possible. That’s according to a poll of 2‚000 U.S. adults that tallied 84% as agreeing with the idea that ‘what goes around comes around’.

The professional fact-checking industry has run into problems with The Babylon Bee before and some have responded better than others. Some outlets‚ like Snopes and USA Today‚ have a “satire” label. For PolitiFact‚ on the other hand‚ a satirical joke about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is no laughing matter as it rated a Wednesday Bee article about him “false.” A Friday PolitiFact headline read‚ “Satirical headline about Pete Buttigieg and the Key Bridge taken out of context.” Ciara O’Rourke added more details‚ “A recent Facebook post shared a headline from a satire website but not everyone got the joke.” She continued‚ ‘“Buttigieg praises cargo ship for helping dismantle racism in American roads‚’ the headline said alongside photos of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the cargo ship that crashed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge.” The post “was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed‚” meaning that the account that shared the Bee’s image is now considered the same threat to truth as those who think Donald Trump and Joe Biden are dead.  Incredibly‚ the Facebook post that was flagged clearly includes a box that urges people to “read the article at BabylonBee.com.” Not only did O’Rourke flag the Facebook user‚ she also joke-checked the Bee itself‚ “Comments Buttigieg made in 2021 are being taken out of context since the Key Bridge’s collapse. PolitiFact debunked another social media post that claimed the transportation secretary blamed the bridge’s collapse on ‘racism.’” O’Rourke explained that “Rather‚ in a 2021 interview‚ Buttigieg said racism has sometimes factored into highway planning and construction.” Yes‚ that’s the joke. It is a callback to Buttigieg’s earlier comments and the perception that the secretary of Transportation is actually the secretary of Woke Transportation. Satire‚ whether its from The Babylon Bee or The Onion‚ relies on readers being sophisticated enough to understand unmentioned facts or memories‚ like the roads comment‚ to comprehend the point of the joke. If the Bee mentioned the roads comment‚ it wouldn't be satire‚ it would just be another anti-Buttigieg editorial. O’Rourke concludes by proclaiming that “We rate claims that Buttigieg actually praised a cargo ship for helping to dismantle racism in American roads False.” If PolitiFact wants to point out that people fall for satirical headlines‚ it should create a satire label. In response to criticism‚ Snopes finally made the change five years ago. There’s no reason for PolitiFact to still be treating satire as if it is on the same level as unironic claims.

An American YouTuber was reportedly kidnapped in Haiti by one of the largest gangs that has become the nation's de facto leader. He was abducted after attempting to interview a notorious gang leader‚ according to the New York Post.The YouTuber — whose name is Addison Pierre Maalouf‚ also known online as YourFellowArab — traveled from his Atlanta home to interview Jimmy "Barbeque" Cherizier‚ the current leader of the G9 Family and Allies gang that has taken control of the small nation's government.However‚ Maalouf's plans did not go according to plan when he reached Haiti. Maalouf and a Haitian colleague were taken by members of the 400 Mawozo gang on March 14‚ just a day after he arrived.Haitian outlets reported that Maalouf is currently being held for a $600‚000 ransom‚ and just $40‚000 of the total has been paid. The kidnappers are continuing to demand a large sum for the YouTuber's release.On Thursday‚ fellow streamer Lalem took to X‚ writing: “Tried keeping it private for two weeks‚ but it’s getting out everywhere now."“Yes‚ Arab has been kidnapped in Haiti and we’re working on getting him out." — (@) Lalem also shared a video that Maalouf posted online‚ showing him at a hotel in Haiti‚ telling his viewers about the dangers of being in the gang-ridden country. He went on to say that he and his crew wished to travel to Port-au-Prince — the capital city — but they had to wait until daylight to do so. Maalouf added that the capital city is "completely run by gangs‚" and it would only take "one stupid gang member holding an AK-47 for one thing to go wrong." — (@) However‚ some people have expressed skepticism about the nature of Maalouf's abduction‚ suggesting that it was scripted. The well-known YouTuber took to X on Saturday‚ writing: "I was kidnapped purely for the color of my skin. I was kidnapped for being a 'Blanc.'""Can’t give any more detail till I’m home‚ but all I will say for now is - Glory be to God. Released between Good Friday &; Easter‚ Christ is King. When you’re kidnapped in the middle of the Haitian Desert 60 minutes away from any civilization in a concrete shack surrounded by barbed wire‚ you don’t pray to a rainbow flag‚ you pray to God." — (@) The Telegraph reported that the U.S. State Department was alerted to the alleged kidnapping‚ noting that they were "aware of reports of the kidnapping of a US citizen in Haiti."The State Department has warned about traveling to Haiti‚ adding that "kidnapping is widespread and victims regularly include US citizens."

A former married high school teacher who was convicted of having sex with an underage student will reportedly not face any jail time. The victim's mother has claimed that the former teacher's "predatory actions" stripped her son of his dreams‚ according to the Spokesman-Review.McKenna Kindred‚ 25‚ who was previously an educator at Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley‚ Washington‚ pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree sexual misconduct with a minor and communication with a minor for immoral purposes.The teacher's illegal relationship with the 17-year-old student began in June 2022‚ when the student discovered Kindred's Instagram account. The two began messaging each other shortly after. The communication became serious enough that Kindred and the student reportedly had sex inside her home while her husband was away on a hunting trip‚ according to the New York Post.Kindred and the student denied having sexual relations despite rumors spreading around the school. At one point‚ the former educator was harassed on social media concerning the alleged sexual relationship.Soon after‚ an investigation was launched into Kindred's behavior. The student ultimately admitted to the authorities that he had messaged Kindred on social media‚ swapped inappropriate videos with her‚ and also that the two had even had sex.Investigators found that Kindred had sent the student several messages with sexual connotations‚ including: "I wanted you to be in my room”; “When other girls talk about you in my class I could feel myself getting mad"; “I really like being touched by you.”The student's mother said that Kindred's actions were an overt "abuse of power" and that she had groomed him since he was 16 years old‚ according to reports. The mother went on to say that her son was unable to finish high school on campus‚ which negatively affected him socially‚ academically‚ and emotionally. She noted that he missed out on major milestones and lost some of his youth.Despite Kindred being convicted of the crimes‚ she will face no jail time. Her attorney‚ Andrew Wagley‚ said his client's conduct did cause harm that will likely never be mended with her husband and other family members.He went on to say that Kindred has voluntarily engaged in counseling for depression‚ anxiety‚ and marital issues‚ none of which were an excuse to carry out the actions she did.Kindred's counselor believes that the incident was an isolated event and that she poses no threat to society.
