When searching for answers or reasons things seem so out of control, it is easy to generalize, to scapegoat, to make assumptions and to blame anomalous entities. I do it all the time. "They slander Trump with impunity". Just look at podcasts, blogs and the news, it doesn't matter who is lambasting who, you will see most discussions about economics, social unrest, political intrigue, all blame 'They'. I think it is because we want to simplify conflict. We want to illustrate the contrasts, the opposing nature of our cultural divisions. We don't always want to personalize those parties because they straddle large groups and populations and they are not homogenized in their beliefs, either. So we tend to go with the binary approach, it's Us versus Them, Good versus Evil, Christian versus Muslim, Liberal versus Conservative, etc.. But there are some forces lurking in the background, under the radar, that exert enormous power on daily events, worldwide. 'They' are no one person, one dictator or crackpot. They are not a political force, rather a financial force. Sometimes it is correct to "follow the money" because "money makes the world go round". Working Joe rarely pays any attention to those powerful forces. He is too busy trying to make his mortgage payment. Trying to save enough to put his kids through college, to put away some money for old age. But the truth is, he is financing financial powerhouses every day. Because 'they' own his mortgage lender, his insurance company, his bank, and 'they' fund the research programs that build new laboratories and buildings at those colleges and universities he wants to send his kids to. 'They' operate giant holding companies that control the stock of major manufacturers, pharmaceutical makers, hospital systems and networks. 'They' sit on the boards of directors that operate most of the large media networks all around the globe. It gets really scary when you study just how much power and influence 'they' have on communications, international trade and shipping, and which major weapons manufacturers get the big government defense contracts. I am referring to investment giants like BlackRock, which owns 30% of CNN, and major stakes in MicroSoft, Apple and Amazon. Another unheralded company, Official Institutions Group, works closely with sovereign wealth funds, central banks and other multilateral organizations as advisories to other investment platforms. I use BlackRock as an example because it is one of the bigger holding companies, but there are many others. And many have grown huge because they decided decades ago to pursue the Chinese juggernaut. By investing heavily in Chinese manufacturing and their cheap labor force, they have, as Consumers Research noted, " turned a blind eye to the CCP's malign behavior, and worse, sending American pensions to China to support it." The whole scheme is a workaround of US investment law. American citizens cannot directly own shares of Chinese firms, but BlackRock, with the explicit approval of Chinese Premier Xi Xiping, set up offshore shell companies that they can use to indirectly trade in Chinese stocks. As of March 2022, BlackRock was the world's largest mutual fund company, with $10 trillion US dollars in assets under management. They are closely followed by Vanguard Group with $8 trillion, and Charles Schwab with $7 trillion in their portfolio. These management platforms know a good thing when they see it, so they invest in each other, too. Overall, only a few dozen investment management companies hold the most combined assets and essentially own the world. People are only vaguely aware that the world is controlled by a handful of financial organizations exerting dominion over empires of financial leverage. And among those companies, only a few powerful families maintain control by shielding their true identities with layers and layers of tricky legal organizational constructions and distractions. Now you know why all of the major news platforms, political action groups, and corporate CEO's speak in near identical phraseology about disruptors like Trump being a "threat to democracy". It isn't democracy they are worried about losing, it is their near monopoly on financial channels around the world. It is their current ability to flaunt financial and political regulations, and to keep the chattel, the voters, in line. 'They' have the power to do it, and they know it. The question is how do they maintain total control without waking up those they control? If you look closely at who owns the world, it reveals a convoluted trail of management fiduciaries who cross breed for purposes of avoiding exposure, and who have no shame about flouting rules and regulations so they can increase their bottom line and their influence. When I refer to "They' in my essays, it is that widespread financial persona, the bought and paid for employees and their dependent subcontractors in transnational business, in banking and the media that are subscribing to the GroupThink machine. We may not be able to personalize the threat to our freedom and sovereignty, but we can build a wall to slow it down, to give us a perch from which we can defend our castle of liberty. Like the Alamo, it doesn't look good right now. We can see more of them than of us. But part of that is illusion superimposed on us by the ubiquitous FrankenMedia. Which casts an enormous shadow across the planet, blocking the sunlight that is needed to grow awareness. It is imperative we grow the alternative forms of media, of communication, and purge the educational establishment of fervent communists. The controversial Second Red Scare, better known as McCarthyism, that dominated the news in the late 40's and early 50's, if left unimpeded, might have permanently derailed the communist infiltration of Hollywood and eventually of our institutions of higher learning, and avoided the mess we find ourselves in today. But McCarthy was successfully drumbed into history using the same sort of mischaracterizations, of cancellation techniques and of fear mongering we see today. Those who fought vehemently against the McCartyites, who perhaps saw themselves as nothing more than patriotic liberals, have now, decades later, morphed into the Progressive Cabal rampaging across the globe, claiming to be the protectors of "Our Democracy". 'They' are the useful idiots that are certain they are fighting for a righteous cause, only to find out too late, they are ultimately the victims of that cause. 'They' are the folks protesting against Israel's war on Hamas, claiming Jews are conducting genocide on Muslims. Amongst those same protestors are LGBTQ people, who, were they living anywhere other than America, might find themselves being tossed off a rooftop by Hamas. 'They' are Black Lives Matters groupies that are the same demographic most damaged by open borders policies that give job preferences to mostly uneducated, unvetted, illegal immigrants. 'They' are the Occupy Wall Street fools that desecrate statues and trash commercial districts, then complain that Big Business is destroying the environment. 'They' are the high school district board members that have openly declared, "Parents are not properly prepared" to make decisions on school curricula. 'They' consider it homophobic to exclude books illustrating how-to-perform homosexual sex acts from school libraries, 'They' are openly hostile to police. They consider any police enforcement of petty theft laws "racist" and unjust. They lobby for "no bail" policies for most misdemeanor violations and even some "victimless" felonies like drug possession and sexual oriented violations like prostitution and domestic abuse. The list goes on and on…that is why it is impossible to put 'They' into any one category or profile. You must recognize the common denominator: 'They' don't align with most peoples idea of civility, community, inclusiveness or rationality. 'They' will claim to be simply liberalists, who want to "live and let live", but that ignores the victims of their carefree and irresponsible behaviors. Living in a free country doesn't mean living in a "free from consequences" country. Quite the opposite, it REQUIRES a heightened sense of responsibility, of sense of ownership and a clear and present determination to protect our families, our community and our sovereignty. "They" will categorize us, in a pejorative way, as Nationalists and White Supremacists, to redirect public opinion and to rationalize their stupid, counterintuitive policies. "They" must be stopped or the impact of their collective arrogance will impose all out chaos on America. When someone knows right from wrong, what does that mean? It seems obvious on the surface, but what does it really mean in a world of relative values? If you can define your own gender, morals, or truth, just what is right or wrong by any standard? After his dismal performance in the Presidential debate, Joe Biden said, " I may not debate so well, I may not speak as smoothly as I once did, but I know one thing… I know how to tell the truth!" But there is one problem Joe…that statement is itself a lie! Joe Biden is a pathological liar. And history tells us that pathological liars have no self awareness, no humility and never stop their deceptive and purely self serving behavior. That is why the term pathological is applied. It is an an obsessive compulsive need to embellish the truth about whatever the person deems important to help them manipulate other people. Lying is a tool of control, used by people that manage their lives by controlling those around them. Joe Biden lied about his scholastic records, the surrounding events of the death of his wife and his oldest son. He was caught plagiarizing speeches, essays he wrote in law school and even some of his legislative policy critiques. He lied about his ancestors work history and his historical relationships with leading segregationists. He lied about his voting records and recently he has made provably inaccurate claims that he created millions of 'new jobs', reduced inflation and secured the southern border during his term as President. During the debate with Trump, he even had the gall to claim that no American service members have lost their lives under his administration. He completely forgot the whole world watched him check his watch while the remains of 13 dead marines were carried out of the military transport plane just returned from the totally botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Like all pathological liars, he has no shame and is unable to understand why others are not fooled by his transparent inconsistencies. He also claims, without any proof, that his opponent in the upcoming election, is a "threat to our Democracy". Despite the obvious evidence that Trump was in the Oval Office for 4 years and never made an effort to dissolve the three branches of government, and never unlawfully used the authority of the federal government to harass, arrest or imprison his opponents, as the Biden administration has done repeatedly in the past 3 ½ years. If Joe Biden claims to "know right from wrong" why should anyone believe him? The answer is that half the population holds different definitions of right. We can't all agree on what is right. We can't even agree on what is wrong. Is it wrong to claim your political opponent has the "morals of an Alley Cat", especially when Joe has presided over a totally dysfunctional and immoral family? Three years after the accidental death of his first wife, he married Jill, who had babysat his two boys while he was campaigning. After the death of his oldest son, his younger son Hunter impregnated his brother's widow but they were never married. Joe and Jill's daughter Ashley Biden has written all about her upbringing in a soap opera atmosphere and how it led her to drug use, sexual addiction and other self abusive behaviors. Hunter won a rare waiver when he volunteered, at age 42, to join the Naval Reserve as a public affairs officer. The obvious effort to embellish his resume, approved and possibly enabled by his dad, ended badly. He received an "Administrative Separation" from the Navy only a year later after he tested positive for cocaine. Another way of saying he was court marshaled without the stigma. Did then Senator Joe intervene for clemency? After the validity of his lost laptop was revealed during his trial for illegally possessing a gun while on probation, Hunter admitted his many years of drug addiction. But Joe still insists, "I am incredibly proud of him!" All along the way, Joe Biden has used the legal system to harass, intimidate and sometimes incarcerate his enemies. His election has empowered him to authorize the assault on private residences by the FBI, DOJ, and ATF to shut down any activists that disrupt the media blackout of the Biden Family's possible financial arrangements with foreign interests. His clever exploitation of New York's most compromised court system and bought-and-paid-for prosecutors have given him a political lifeline: He can claim it is Trump that is a "convicted felon". But that is par for the course for pathological liars: 'Tell the Biggest Lies the Loudest' and right or wrong, half the population will believe you. Hear me out…It sounds like a far right conspiracy theory. I may even sound racist and misogynist. But I think it is worth considering my theory just because there are very few other reasons for the whole Joe Biden Fiasco. Here it is: The Progressives behind the curtains, pulling the strings for the Democrat elites, wanted Kamala in the White House all along. They gambled right from the beginning that Joe would, at some point before the end of his term, be gone. Let me explain… Putting Biden into the White House, on the surface never made political or practical sense. You could argue that his soft liberalism, his supposed hard core pro law-and-order stance, and his lack of any culturally offensive legislative efforts made him a good prospect to meet halfway with liberal Republicans. The American public had just endured 4 years of psychological pummeling as the Media kept Trump on the ropes for every waking moment. To most Democrats and some of the disgruntled Republicans, Biden represented a viable and less abrasive alternative to the rogue outsider that was Donald Trump. As Biden's 'partner' Kamala was optically a good fit: The attractive, modern, articulate female with a legal background could follow Joe around like a puppy, yipping at his detractors, and licking his ears with affection. She would garner every Obama voter and maybe some of the more radical black women who were never enamored with the Silver Tongued Devil #44. Kamala would promote abortion, worker discrimination lawfare, and racial quotas while keeping Joey Bananas in line with the Black Community, something he has been quite cavalier and over confident about since his term under Obama. Biden was just cocky enough to be led to believe he actually won the election and therefore he was politically immune to criticism. In July The Loyalist made my point at a Miami rally: “Whatever else can be said about crooked Joe Biden, you have to give him credit for one brilliant decision: picking Kamala Harris as his vice president was the greatest insurance policy of all time. If Joe had picked someone even halfway competent, they would have bounced him from his office years ago." For Progressives, she was The One, but had no chance of ever getting elected to higher office without some bestowed gravitas, some bona fides that serving inside the White House could deliver. So what if Joe's term, which would be tightly managed, should come to a premature end? He would be 79 when he took office, so it's not unreasonable to think his health could fail at any time. Looking down the road, the Progressive Jihad, those that are seriously hijacking the government, couldn't ask for a better scenario: Moderate Guy gets installed, sells the public on the Progressive Agenda, then when the time comes, Kamala takes the reins and voila! The Capitalist American Democracy has an unelected Progressive (aka, Black Panther Marxist) running the Executive Branch! Within just a few years and a few seats in the halls of the Capitol, the capitalist Republic of The United States of America will have been successfully repurposed. I originally published this on June 1st, before the recent debate...
There are faint stirrings within the Democratic party leadership that maybe Biden is too old to run again (despite the fact that he didn't really run the last time). In a culture that constantly belittles elders, it is incredibly counter intuitive that most of our political leaders are old white geezers. But as I have said for years, Progressive Jihadists hijack legitimate social activism, then pretend to be leading the parade, while all the while doing what the activists are angry about. They have institutionalized gaslighting! So they keep telling the public, Joe isn't really stumbling and bumbling, slurring his words or saying incredibly insensitive and nasty things in public. You are just "misinterpreting" him. One of, if not the most important tenets of Progressivism, is to be "leading the way" in all areas of modern culture and political activism. But the results of their work are objectively going backwards!
Biden has been able to bluff his way through a couple of years with the help of Covid Relief Funds, with a friendly House of Representatives run by a domineering old white female communist and a divided Congress, willing to let him write executive orders dismantling everything Trump accomplished. Sending trillions of tax revenue to support a very corrupt and shaky Ukraine regime, and spending printed inflationary dollars on The New Green Deal, to bolster his phony "Build Back Better" claims. Biden has never demonstrated any popularity. When he shows up at major events (which he wisely avoids), he gets booed. He never held election campaign rallies, blaming Covid. Meanwhile, Trump filled stadiums and auditoriums with cheering supporters. Biden's popularity is a Wall Street construct. Now, some voices are quietly asking "What about Joe?" No matter what the Biden Jihadists throw at Trump, his popularity grows! Why would that be? Well, Americans hate injustice and no matter what you think of Trump's narcissism, we all know he is a patriot in the extreme, and he has been right more often than not. I will stick my neck out and say, right now, the only way out of this mess Biden and his cronies have created, is to commit another terrible crime. And that is because the crimes they have already committed are so egregious and seditious, they have to do something even worse to redirect attention away from the situation America finds itself in. Maybe start a nuclear war, or declare a national emergency over another mysteriously dangerous and unknown pandemic. Or they may decide its time to change our monetary system, confiscate savings accounts, bankrupt the federal reserve, or God Knows What? No matter what catastrophe they bring upon the American citizen, they will martyr Joe. They will paint him and his regime as the Ultimate Victims. Whatever fate that awaits Joey Bananas, it will appear to have been caused by some Right Wing Crazy person or the Republican Congress. Just like OJ Simpson, no matter how damning the evidence, the voters will be convinced the Biden Regime was framed and the entire Biden Crime Family was victimized by a "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy". I don't know how it will be done, but that is the best outcome the Progressive Jihad can achieve at this point, and I would not expect them to suddenly become "honorable" Cultural Warriors. The end justifies the means, and Joe is simply too big of an obstacle at this point, so his legacy will have to substitute for his persona. The Democrats will cancel Joe and his legacy in a New York Minute once they realize the polls are real. That confidence in Build Back Better, in the Green New Deal, and the staged January 6th "Insurrection" have evaporated, and the prospect of Trump returning to the White House are better than even. They will most likely create a Right Wing Lone Wolf scenario, just like JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X. Why not? It worked before, it will work again. Will Joe's removal from the upcoming election process put Kamala Harris into the spotlight? Is she the heir apparent? No way. She couldn't win the Democratic Presidential candidate nomination in California in 2019. She could never put up enough numbers to make the stealing of the next Presidential election doable. No matter how many ways they manipulate the election, it would simply be impossible to make it look fair. Kamala is just too unlikable and she couldn't possibly win enough electoral college votes to beat Trump. She will be given a Golden Shower to step aside for some other Progressive mannikin like Gavin Newsollini, or better yet some unelected celebrity with no political baggage. Someone like Boston's Anne Finucane, or media mogul Byron Allen. She has never been comfortable in her role anyway. It simply too much for her thin-skinned makeup. She is fully prepared to find another role while in semi-retirement, with a lower profile so she can enjoy her Haitian Ganja out of the spotlight. The Democratic Governor of California has a strong Progressive Cabal supporting him (otherwise how could anybody who has so obviously mismanaged the 7th largest economy in the world ever think about running for President of the United States)? But he would flounder in the "Fly Over Country" where his metro-man image would be a laughing stalk. Besides, the Democrats are beginning to realize their playschool approach is wearing thin. They have to come up with something or someone substantial, someone that not only acts grown up but actually is. Where The Rubbers Meet The Road I have written about misinformed certitude extensively. Why? Because folks who are absolute about their beliefs are difficult to communicate with. Folks that assume they know "The Truth" about touchy subjects are self absorbed. Meaning that they are not interested in what you think. Which begs the question…do we need those people to be involved in our community? Can we afford to give them equity in our processes, our decision making? Isn't it a requirement for democracy to allow everyone to be heard, no matter what they think, or what their beliefs are? I think it is. I think operating a free society, where everyone plays a part, demands we accommodate what might be described as whacky ideas. Here is where it gets sticky: We don't let children vote. We don't let foreigners vote. If we are holding a homeowners meeting to decide if our condominium complex needs a new roof, should we allow a few strangers who don't own a unit in the building complex to vote in our survey? Of course not. Those who contribute to the decision making process must be of a certain age, where presumably they have matured enough to be able to process information and make informed decisions. It is obviously OK to discriminate. It is obviously wise to discriminate. Anything else would create utter chaos. Those who have skin in the game, who have invested in property ownership, who pay their homeowners fees, taxes, insurance, and actually live in their units, should be the only ones allowed to vote. The HOA doesn't allow renters to participate in their surveys or final voting processes. Why should a nation operate any differently? Additionally, why would a nation allow anyone that is unable to present some acceptable form of identification (do they live here, or are they old enough?) to help make important decisions about the rules and regulations we all live by? The obvious next question has to be what about that "identification" we agree needs to be a part of the decision making process. What if, for example, it is fraudulent? What if it isn't a real and verified characterization of that citizen? What if it is counterfeit I have also written extensively about counterfeiting and how it is not just a financial crime, but can also be applied to misappropriation of property and other forms of white collar crimes. It all starts with misrepresentation, or lying. Whether it is in the form of speaking, writing or acting, a lie is a lie. From the first one on, it can become a landslide that can often cascade over the lives of innocent bystanders, causing them misery they did not deserve. Making whacky claims when speaking in a group, on social media, or at a party is one thing. But when you misuse your authority or expertise to make unsupported statements (to lie) is unacceptable and those folks must be held accountable. We can't turn the other cheek to counterfeit leadership. When highly influential people in politics present false information, people then invest in them, and with no reason to be suspicious, then pass along the falsehood, just like passing counterfeit bills. And though they may have never realized what they were doing was complicit, it was. Because it continued the lie, it joined the momentum of the landslide and contributed to the damages the cascading misinformation causes as it consumes the truth and builds a false impression of an accepted lie. Billy Tipton was born Dorothy Lucille Tipton in 1914. After changing her name and presenting herself as a male at the age of 24, Billy had a long and reasonably successful career as a male musician. Along the way he formed serious relationships with five women, but never got married or consummated his partnerships sexually, covering his secret with a story about being seriously injured in an accident that mangled his private parts. The point is, his treatment of his partners, his musical associates, his friends and business partners, was not necessarily illegal. But he was committing a crime of fraud on everyone around him by lying about his gender. That would be classified as a violation of an implied contract. I would argue that this moral question is symbolic of a fundamental challenge to the future of America. That question is, "do we Americans owe a certain adherence to the implied contract that our Founding Fathers made with their siblings and all future American Citizens? A contract they called the Constitution and first Ten Amendments to it". You might say, "What? Are you serious? Why does this kind of human conundrum matter to you?" I would say it represents the crisis in truth we face in modern society. You might say, "Truth? How can you make that reach? Isn't truth just an abstract fantasy anyway? If we never know the truth about ANYTHING, who cares?" As Hillary Clinton so famously said about the deaths of an American ambassador and five Navy Seals in Benghazi Lebanon, "What difference does it really make?" It may not, in certain cases make any difference at all. But in other cases, it may make life altering differences, not just to some people, but to millions, or even billions of people. If the Captain of the Titanic hadn't been so consumed with misinformed certitude that the super ship was 'Unsinkable' he probably would have taken a safer route and avoided the worst seafaring tragedy in history. In 2008, Americans tossed caution and reason to the wind in favor of projecting a sense of "socially responsible certitude" that electing a young, handsome and articulate black man to the Presidency, would send a Progressive message to the World that right makes strength, and social justice would lead to peace, even though the man had zero experience in foreign affairs or in running a giant enterprise like the Government of the United States of America. Instead, America continues to be torn apart by tribal hatred, psychological conflict brought on by relentless electronic digital overload and bankrupted by endless unsustainable spending to protect people from themselves. Since the ascension of Barack Obama to the Whitehouse, the Democrat Party has veered dramatically left. So much so that even some longtime Democrats have had too much. The Party now supports administrator rights over parental rights in public schools. They have essentially abandoned Israel as Americas strongest ally. Democrats favor illegals over citizens rights. It is inarguable when you see border violators receiving free housing in luxury hotels, $1000 debit cards, free cell phones and free airfare to their chosen city. All while homeless veterans sleep under tarps in major cities all around the nation. But the rubber meets the road when it comes to LGBTQ and missing children issues. Barack initiated the now SOP policies of acceptance and promotion of what has traditionally been considered deviant behavior by television actors, school administrators and teacher unions, by social media influencers, and even government officials. Cross dressing, wearing skanky lingerie clothing, extreme makeup, and undergoing physical modifications through chemical/hormonal treatments and surgical transformations is encouraged and sometimes Democrats have gone so far as to offer legislation to get public funding for the LGBTQ friends gender adventures. Barack appeared to favor trade policy over holding officials feet to the fire in countries that had been ranked as some of the worst human trafficking offenders. In a 2015 Reuters examination. Documents showed that the State Department office set up to independently grade global efforts to fight human trafficking was repeatedly overruled by senior diplomats and pressured into inflating assessments of 14 countries in this year’s report. Among the countries that received higher rankings than recommended by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons were Malaysia, Cuba, China, India, Uzbekistan and Mexico." If you look at the direction the Democrats have been moving the country, during the Obama term, and since the installation of Biden, the US is strongly supporting every organization that supports Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies and programs, in every state and country it deals with. In fact, there are few if any legislative initiatives that have come before Congress since 2020 that don't include some funding and policy initiatives that reach out to and promote DEI platforms. When you boil it all down, LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) is essentially a sex-driven movement. It's core beliefs are based on what many would consider abhorrent sexual proclivities. Those involved are demanding society embrace their CULTural integration. In fact, most of their demands include punishments for anyone that rejects their lifestyle, and broad efforts to inculcate those lifestyle habits in young children. Recent news stories about Drag Queen shows offered to elementary school aged children in public school facilities begs the question: Why do these queers insist on promoting themselves and their lifestyles in front of immature children? Why would adults feel the need to pole dance wearing skimpy clothing, and bright colored lipstick, inch long eyelashes and fingernails, and singing nasty and sometimes vulgar lyrics to a group of captive kids in 6th grade? Then passing out "Children's Books" filled with directions on how to have anal sex with or offer blowjobs to your friends? Biden has gone so far as to hold DEI/LGBTQ Liberation Parties on the White House lawn! You have to ask, why is it so important for this political party to push the "Queer" agenda at every conceivable opportunity? This is far from normal and could be classified as abusive behavior, except that the Biden Administration is made up of queers. Biden himself proclaimed his administration is the most LGBTQ friendly administration in American history. He claims nearly 14% of his 1500 federal office appointments are "Queer". I have seen some, since repressed, video of Joey Bananas sexually abusing teenage females. We know his daughter had inappropriate activities with her dad. She wrote about it in her diary. His family dynamic has all the symptoms of family dysfunction. His administration is full of people who should have enrolled on the Sexual Offender Online Registry. As for the federal effort to stop human trafficking, especially with children, the numbers are horrific. It is believed that close to 50 million people are currently trapped by involuntary servitude. About 12 million of those folks are children. More than half of them are females. Human trafficking is worth $150 billion annually. That puts the criminal enterprise in the economic neighborhood of companies like Tesla, Mega and Uber. Remember, any statistics about criminal behaviors are only estimates. So it is probably safe to assume it is much worse than what is being reported. The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 was designed to underwrite an improved effort to mount a comprehensive and coordinated campaign "to eliminate modern forms of slavery domestically and internationally” according to PR releases from the US Department of Justice. But we have to face the facts: Human slavery still exists around the world. Approximately 1.4M people are trafficked (bought, sold, traded or exploited) every single day. One in four victims of trafficking are children (under 18 years of age). And here is the really sick statistic: 60% of children trafficked in America were at one point involved in our welfare system! It has been 24 years since the TVP Act was passed. Can we keep a straight face and say we are winning this battle? It seems the industry is a growth industry. Our government can sue big businesses for anti competitive practices or failing to enforce fair hiring standards, but how do we deal with a rapidly growing, totally brutal criminal enterprise that operates in the shadows, and appears to serve millions of citizens in every country on Earth? Even countries with authoritarian regimes appear to be helpless to stop the human trafficking cartels. Why? Could it be the dark side of the Progressive Personal Profile is just as sick as the profile of the worst cartel honchos who feel no sympathy for their victims, because in their mind the pursuit of wealth is no worse act than the pursuit of sexual gratification. The folks that will kill at the drop of a hat, and those that enjoy using children for sexual excitement can't be separated by more than a few degrees and they are both OK with that. It's where their rubbers meet the road. |
