Democrats and their media homunculi have adopted a conspiracy theory of their own, amplified in the wake of the release of the movie Sound of Freedom. They are claiming that child trafficking is a right-wing conspiracy theory.
Over this.
The synopsis of the movie: After rescuing a boy from ruthless child traffickers, a federal agent learns the boy’s sister is still captive and decides to embark on a dangerous mission to save her. With time running out, he quits his job and journeys deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death.
Sounds like a million other Hollywood TV or movie dramas. But in the wake of its release, the Atlantic (as but one example) claims there is no Child Trafficking epidemic. Who said there was? How about the Biden White House? “An estimated 25 million people are subjected to human trafficking and forced labor” globally, which is a lot. Save the Children says nearly 30% of those trafficked humans are kids, and the US Government has been spending millions “to combat” it, including “Nearly $5.2 million to four states (in 2017) to improve jurisdiction-wide coordination and multidisciplinary collaboration to address the trafficking of children and youth.”
They’ve spent a lot more since, including tax dollars, to traffic illegal immigrant children.
“The tax dollars of people who are listening are paying to put children in the hands of criminals,” Rodas told Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe. “These vulnerable children, we care for them, we clothe them, we feed them with your dollars and my dollars. We fly that product directly to the trafficker. God forbid, it’s sex trafficking.” …
“Young children living with multiple older, unrelated men,” he stated. “And, in one case, from Gulf Freeway in Houston, Texas, a young girl who admits her female sponsor is using her for sex work.”
According to The Government Office of Elementary and Secondary Education,
An unknown number of U.S. citizens and legal residents are trafficked within the country for sexual servitude and forced labor. Contrary to a common assumption, human trafficking is not just a problem in other countries. Cases of human trafficking have been reported in all 50 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. territories. Victims of human trafficking can be children or adults, U.S. citizens or foreign nationals, male or female.
Common examples of identified child trafficking cases include:
- Commercial sex
- Stripping
- Pornography
- Forced begging
- Magazine crews
- Au pairs or nannies
- Restaurant work
- Hair and nail salons
- Agricultural work
- Drug sales and cultivation
Or Child Find of America, which reports that 2300 children go missing in America every day; relatives abduct some, others run away, but many disappear. And I’m no mathematician, but 2300 a day seems like an epidemic to me which may be why the US Department of Justice has an entire page dedicated to missing children.
And here’s something for our “it’s not that big a problem” fans of so-called indigenous peoples. Young Native American girls are at a dangerously high threat of abduction. That notoriously right-wing rag, NPR says that risk is higher for them than other groups, and according to SFist, “Native American women in California are being kidnapped and murdered at an alarming rate.”
“Today, we are asking our local, state and federal partners to take a stronger stand against the trafficking of Native women and girls,” said Joseph L. James, the Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “While human trafficking and abductions have been all too common in the Humboldt County area, I ask all of our members to be extra cautious at this time. If you have to go into town, please take someone with you and let a family member know when you expect to return.”
The Cali dems who blocked the bill to jack up penalties for child trafficking must not care about young indigenous girls and women (or they don’t watch what Hollywood coughs up).
Then there’s the matter of the US government, which (as noted above) is alleged to have misplaced at least 85,000 children of immigrants. Depending on who you ask, many of those “immigrants” have an ancestral right to most of the Southwestern United States. That would make them displaced indigenous people, even though none worship the indigenous gods or speak the indigenous language. They are mostly Spanish-speaking Catholics, projecting their non-indigenous colonial conquerors’ cultural and religious beliefs.
I guess what I’m trying to say is pick a team.
The Government Office of Elementary and Secondary Education says kids are getting abducted for stripping, pornography, and commercial sex, and we know kiddie porn exists. People who say it doesn’t keep getting arrested with it in their possession and many of them wear the same jersey as “team child trafficking isn’t that big of a problem.”
But if it is not as big a problem, how small of a problem is it, and how many children are you okay with disappearing or being sex trafficked before we consider it a problem? And what does any of that have to do with your outrage over a movie about a guy quitting his job to recuse one child-trafficked immigrant girl?
One more question. Are Amber alerts misinformation or disinformation?
