In Just a Two Week Sweep, FBI Finds 200 Child Trafficking Victims and 59 Missing Children
NBC "News" just published a QAnon-Adjacent story.
I thought all of this was a conspiracy theory...?Recall: FBI whistleblowers, punished by the FBI and deprived of a salary and left to beg from friends and family while the FBI "investigated" -- covered up -- their allegations, alleged that they were being taken off child slavery investigations so they could be assigned to the Bureau's preferred tasks of arresting abortion protesters and conducting armed raids of January 6th grandmothers.
The FBI found 200 sex trafficking victims and more than 125 suspects during a two-week child exploitation operation in July, federal officials said Tuesday. During "Operation Cross County," the FBI located 59 victims of child sex trafficking and child sexual exploitation and 59 missing children. The FBI teamed with state and local agencies to identify or arrest 126 suspects of child sexual exploitation and human trafficking and 68 suspected traffickers.
"Sex traffickers exploit and endanger some of the most vulnerable members of our society and cause their victims unimaginable harm," Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement. "This operation, which located 59 actively missing children, builds on the tremendous work the FBI has undertaken over many years to rescue minor victims and arrest those responsible for these unspeakable crimes. The FBI-led initiative in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) "focused on identifying and locating victims of sex trafficking and investigating and arresting individuals and criminal enterprises involved in both child sex and human trafficking," federal officials said. Operation Cross Country 13, an FBI-led nationwide law enforcement initiative, which included other federal agencies, state and local police, and social services agencies aiming to find and assist victims of human trafficking, particularly child victims.

The House Judiciary Committee Republicans released a letter this week that they sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray that featured claims from a whistleblower from the Bureau who claims that FBI agents were moved off child sex abuse cases to work on political investigations. "We continue to hear from brave whistleblowers about disturbing conduct at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, including politicization within the Washington Field Office (WFO)," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Ranking Member on the Committee, at the start of the letter. "On July 27, 2022, we wrote to you about protected whistleblower disclosures that FBI officials including an Assistant Special Agent in Charge from the WFO-were pressuring agents to reclassify cases as 'domestic violent extremism' (DVEs) even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification." ... "In addition, the whistleblower disclosed that the FBI is sacrificing its other important federal law-enforcement duties to pursue January 6 investigations," the letter added. "The whistleblower recalled, for example, being 'told that child sexual abuse material investigations were no longer an FBI priority and should be referred to local law enforcement agencies.' Such a posture is not only a dereliction of the FBI's mission to investigate violations of federal laws, but it is a grave disservice to the victims of child sexual abuse and other crimes that do not advance the FBI leadership's political agenda."Public trust in the FBI has fallen to an all-time low.
Americans' trust in the FBI has taken a sharp nose-dive in the wake of the agency's raid on Mar-a-Lago, and the seizure of documents from former President Donald Trump's home. A new poll released on Thursday from the Trafalgar Group for the Convention of States Action, found that Americans overall are split in their opinion of the FBI, with a slight majority of independent voters siding with Republicans against the FBI. 46.6 percent of those polled said that the FBI is "to be respected for their pursuit of justice and law and order," while 46.2 percent said that the FBI is "too political, corrupt, and not to be trusted." 7.2 percent of Americans said they weren't sure. 73.7 percent of Democrats said that they respect the FBI, while 68.3 percent of Republicans said the FBI is too corrupt and political.And with (some) conservative Republicans hungry to cut the FBI's budget and block funding for Christopher Wray's treasured new grand, swank FBI headquarters -- or, even worse, move it to Georgia!!! -- suddenly the FBI decides they should make a big show of doing their actual jobs instead of their preferred self-assigned job of acting as the Mob Enforcers for the Democrat Crime Mob.
But I was reliably informed by the media that child sex trafficking is a QAnon conspiracy… https://t.co/1lYHpTdbB2 pic.twitter.com/aDuWfbJjMd

Fifty-nine missing children. These were the victims that the MSM was willing to toss to the wolves in order to smear the movie Sound of Freedom. All because they wanted to undermine the credibility of Jim Caviezel and take a shot at Donald Trump, their bete noir. It really was that simple. Caviezel is a favorite of Trump supporters and other Republicans, so he had to be smeared along with all things Trump. The simple fact that hundreds of victims, including kidnapped children, had to be denied the attention they deserved and left to rot in sex slavery was a small price to pay. But for the efforts of law enforcement, these people would still be trapped, and their existence denied by the MSM. Do you expect a single one of these "journalists" to acknowledge that they were wrong and apologize for deceiving the American people? Oh please. By now everybody with two brain cells to rub together and an ounce of intellectual integrity knows that the MSM and the elite establishment are simply tools of the Left. The Left wanted the Sound of Freedom smeared, and the Left got exactly what they wanted.They literally are the cult of child sacrifice.

Interesting timing.
The feebs knew all about those traffickers (since they were participating). But since SOF came out and made such an impact, they quickly had to switch their hats to white from black.

And they want child sex trafficking so don't expect more of this.

and IF the FBI had not pulled agents from the task (instead assigning them to attack Republicans) perhaps there would have been 1000 victims and 300 perps arrested (not suspected).
Heck, just patrol the border and do DNA on the fake dads would be a good start. (but they cancelled the DNA thang I think)

Meh. It was more along the lines of, "You don't actually care about child sex trafficking because you haven't made it the #1 thing in your platform before this very moment.
The left does do this with a lot of issues. Basically everyone agreed trannies were crazy or that urban crime was bad...until the left decided they weren't and now anyone that disagrees "doesn't really believe it"
But specifically in the case of child sex trafficking the left denying it exists was a major talking point during the Pizzagate era. They stopped for a while when Epstein was in the news...but if you talk with them about it now they are back to arguing it basically never happens and our elites are pristine and pure in this regard.

And with (some) conservative Republicans hungry to cut the FBI's budget and block funding for Christopher Wray's treasured new grand, swank FBI headquarters -- or, even worse, move it to Georgia!!! -- suddenly the FBI decides they should make a big show of doing their actual jobs instead of their preferred self-assigned job of acting as the Mob Enforcers for the Democrat Crime Mob.

We are trustworthy and those lies about how we don't do anything about (or even worse, enable) this stuff are just that: lies. We're the good guys. We work for you and we're good at our jobs."
I imagine they have any number of ops like this ready to go when they need them. They actually do investigate some stuff, they just only bother following up on it when there's a propaganda need.

They plant evidence, frame up innocent people, spy on private citizens, rape, cover up crimes of those in power, lie, perjure themselves at will, kill innocent Americans, rape and help Joe Biden's son out of jams 24/7.
Believe nothing.

113 I think that's basically true. The ham n' eggers, the ones who are basically federal cops, operating around the country where and when a crime warrants federal attention, they do the everyday cop job, and give cover for the political operatives who make up the rest of the org.

But if you want promotion, you suck up to the head guys who want to move to DC who have become political.
I doubt the rot is limited to DC.
I imagine it's like editorial control over newspapers. Anything important goes through the top guys, who are all political animals, but the smaller sections can get some decent news through because the guy who runs the "cat fashion" beat isn't that political.

59 kids and 68 slavers? That ratio doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense. If the slavers are actually slavers, where are the rest of the kids?

Presumably they're not holding onto all of them but catch and sell fairly quickly. I would assume a large network is needed to cover a broad geography as it'd be easiest to anonymize and hide the kids if they're moved to another country.

I was assured that inflation was a good thing because all industries are subsidized by the government to keep their prices low. Also, inflation is really bad because corporations are just hiking prices to maximize profits.
So, inflation is both good and bad and lettuce should be very expensive and dirt cheap at the same time.

The reaction to the Sound of Freedom is astounding in many ways but I think the most astounding is the fact that there was a reaction at all.
There was no upside to coming out against it in terms of its plot details. Not like this movie is going to drastically alter public discourse to a point that it would sway government action.
They could've simply judged it on its merits as a movie, not a message.
Instead, they overreacted the way a kid does when you tell him you're about to throw away a toy he lied about not wanting.

The FBI found 200 sex trafficking victims and more than 125 suspects during a two-week child exploitation operation in July, federal officials said Tuesday.
During "Operation Cross County," the FBI located 59 victims of child sex trafficking and child sexual exploitation and 59 missing children.
And that was just on the second floor of the HQs.

Most of my social circle are pretty big liberals. They're not evil or sick, they're just kind of idiots.
They have a very "I don't want to be bothered thinking about it" way of looking at the world.
someone says "there are so many homeless people, this is ridiculous" and they say "well, I don't know, why doesnt the government just get them an apartment or something?" "how do you pay for that?" "whatever, raise the taxes on the rich." "Okay, but if you put them in an apartment, that probably won't solve their fentanyl addiction or serious mental health problems" "jesus dude, whatever. Hire some social workers. I don't know, there are experts in this stuff, just listen to whatever they say."
and that's about the end of their thoughts on any subject.

And don't think it's just men who are perpetrating these awful crimes against children. Yes, they are the majority criminals, but now women are partnering with male p3dos to breed their own little victims.
I know it sounds unbelievable, but a white hat hacker talked about the communications he intercepted in which a female perp talked about having a baby with a male perp in order to abuse the child. I thought it was just their weird pervy fantasy, until I saw the charging document of the NBC producer who got busted. He was a big fan of a guy who filmed himself brutally raping an infant...a baby.
I thought: who has access to a child that small? Only two possibilities: a doctor, or a dad. And sure enough, the texts that this particular perp sent involved getting a woman to breed victims with him.

Part of the Left has been openly messaging that being right-wing means you oppose pedophilia since at least 2016. Less publicly their academic argument for pedophilia and incest has been around since at least the sexual revolution.

And the ones they did legit arrest will get 10 day suspended sentences From Obama and Biden judges.

"whatever, raise the taxes on the rich." "Okay, but if you put them in an apartment, that probably won't solve their fentanyl addiction or serious mental health problems" "jesus dude, whatever. Hire some social workers. I don't know, there are experts in this stuff, just listen to whatever they say."
Living in a blue area I know plenty of people like that.
They also complain endlessly about the taxes they pay, when low income housing is built in their neighborhood, and will lose their absolute minds if they are the victims of crime.
The last part is especially amusing. They will quickly go from "why are these racist cops always harassing innocent minorities/homeless/whatever. They need help!" to "Why the hell didn't the cops shoot the guy that mugged me?!?" BUT...only if it personally happens to them. If it happens to a neighbor it is, "Don't be racist, he probably needed that money more then you did"

There is a video out of a coroner who figured out that pedophiles could be identified by just their hands in photographs. The image has to be fiddler with to get the veins in their hands to show up but this is possible in a lot of instances.
The patterns of our veins are 100 percent unique.
What this person wanted to do was have Facebook run scans of everyone's hands in their database since they have such a huge one. I think this is what Apple was thinking of doing at one point. It's a huge invasion of privacy obviously.
I do wish there were a way though to use that tech to catch people in a way that didn't involve the government obtaining everyone's identifying bio markers.

This may make me a graceless person but I have completely ghosted forever the liberals that used to be in my social circle. Those that I have to be around - like at work - I ignore completely and do not even engage in small talk. I hate these people and do not have the time or patience for them any longer.

Good. I'm glad they're caught.
But how much time and effort was spent here?
Chris Wray could amble down the street to the Capitol with a suitcase full of subpoenas, knock on the doors of the House and Senate, and round up hundreds of perps and thousands of vics for less than a tenth of whatever he spent here.

211 There is a video out of a coroner who figured out that pedophiles could be identified by just their hands in photographs. The image has to be fiddler with to get the veins in their hands to show up but this is possible in a lot of instances.
The patterns of our veins are 100 percent unique.
What this person wanted to do was have Facebook run scans of everyone's hands in their database since they have such a huge one. I think this is what Apple was thinking of doing at one point. It's a huge invasion of privacy obviously.
I do wish there were a way though to use that tech to catch people in a way that didn't involve the government obtaining everyone's identifying bio markers.

Possibly, but I doubt it. I bet they have any number of busts lined up - slavery rings, drug rings, terrorist rings, bank fraud rings, etc. - at any given time. They do the investigation and then put it on ice and just keep tabs on it in case any of the players change.
Note how whenever the credibility of the FBI is under major attack, they suddenly have a big bust on whatever the most loudly-discussed issue of the day is. If it's drugs, they have a big drug bust. If it's terrorism, they sweep up some terrorists. If it's child sex trafficking, they take down a trafficking ring.
I doubt this is about protecting government officials, but I have no trouble whatsoever believing that it's about the FBI's image. They *could* have done it for a long time, but they held it in reserve (and therefore let it keep happening) until it was *really* useful to take it down.

Despite every third Antifa arrested having sex crime and pedo charges on their record.
Like I said, they had to purge the list of their own before they could act.

Yeah, exactly. If I don't answer with the correct shibboleths, they know I'm not one of them. And a lot of it is very subtle.
Not much I can do about it.

I'm a bit surprised that they are subtle. Here in Cali, ardent liberals shout their beliefs from the rooftops in any public gathering, presuming that everyone else will agree with them. It's incredibly exasperating.

Imply that it actually happens or that it's a major industry or, even worse, that there is often tacit state approval of it (our state or someone else's), however, and they close ranks.

They have to, don't they? Go after the Hollywood types, or the bankers, and the entire Rat machine would collapse into sludge. At which point it would be open season on the agenda of the NPC left.
By contrast, you could drag every Republican on Capitol Hill to the shooting ditch, and I would just be pleased that the real work gets to start.

Depends on context. Arguing with a true believer one-on-one is pointless because you will never convert a true believer.
Arguing with a true believer when there is an audience of non-true-believers, though, can be helpful. If there are rational people watching and listening to you calmly and cogently punch gaping holes into the true believer's position, you might get one of *them* to wake up or at least to actually think about the position for once.

Even when they knew what they were saying was wrong, and actually somewhat repulsive to them personally, they would still stick with the party line.
Back when I talked politics with leftists I found the argument always went something like this;
First: I believe in [leftist principle] because of A which is a FACT
Then: Ok, ok, so maybe A isn't like, entirely a fact...but I actually believe in [leftist principle] because of B which is a FACT
A little later: Ok, ok, so maybe B isn't like, entirely a fact...but I actually believe in [leftist principle] because of A which is a FACT
And they'd do this for as long as you wanted.

It must be nice growing up in an America where you don't have to think about why we have it so good. To believe that everyday you get up it will be the same old place...in perpetuity. No worries about clean water or electricity. Go to the Mall, there will always be stuff. Go to the store, there will always be food. The biggest concern is the cost of tickets to TayTay concert.
It is sad.

When participating in The Balkan Yugo Breakup what really struck me, trying to figure out Why? aside from Human Nature, was this: to have a society really blow itself up, like, really go nuclear, requires considered, sensible, even-keeled people, the Salt Of The Earth/Middle Class, to believe it can't happen. That is the real trigger. To believe social apocalypse can't happen. that's what causes it, or at least is a foundation of it.

I thought that Presidents weren't supposed to "interfere" with the DOJ? (not really, I'm not that stupid)
I thought Jefferson wrote about a Absolute Wall of Separation between the President and the DOJ? (Even though the policing and prosecution are executive functions, and the President is the sole owner of all executive functions).

Speaking of human trafficking, DU is having a sadz over: Gov. Kim Reynolds deployed more than 100 Iowa National Guard soldiers to Texas on Wednesday to assist at the U.S.-Mexico border for the next month. And she says she'll use the Biden Administration's COVID-19 relief funds to pay for it.
Are they assigned to drowning duty or impaling Mexicans on barbed wire?
Ironically, if it weren't for immigrants, most of the meat packing plants in IA would be closed. The USA is a wealthy nation is because of the constant in-flow of immigrants. It's easy to demonize them, so it becomes one of the ways right-wing leaders feed the hate machine that keeps them in office.
Kim Jong Reynolds doesn’t care what others need. Piss money away needlessly. Ignore the need in Iowa. She knows about illegals because that’s how she spends federal money…….illegally.
You can misuse govt funds in IA. It's fine. Our idiotic Republican legislature hamstrung our Democrat state auditor.

There will be bombings and assassination attempts if they even take it up, let alone hear it.

I guess I would have had a hard time graduating college these days because no way would I sit silent if a professor decided to propagandize his political or religious views during the class. I have to assume it’s not as widespread as reported by conservative sources because I can’t imagine we don’t have conservative kids today who don’t think the same way as me.

I'm a bit surprised that they are subtle. Here in Cali, ardent liberals shout their beliefs from the rooftops in any public gathering, presuming that everyone else will agree with them. It's incredibly exasperating.
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at August 03, 2023 04:10 PM (YqDXo)
Oh, they do that too.
I mean when they're feeling someone out.
For example, I went out with a girl I'm seeing and several of her friends and their spouses. This one guy was sitting across from me and said he was from Texas, had two moms, and now worked for a make up company. But he's dating a chick.
I said "oh, right on" or something. It was kind of weird that he's dumping his whole life story on me, but whatever.
Later that night, my girl said "I don't think he liked you" and I said "why?" and she said because I was supposed to say something along the lines of "that must have been really hard growing up in texas with lesbian moms, you must be so glad to live here now."
...And it would never occur to me to say that. But apparently that was some kind of a shit test, and I failed.

And I am invested in this thing, in chaotic warfare children are bought and sold, it's a thing. It's common. What really cracked me Back When was having a desperate refugee woman present a girl to me, probably 6 or so, not her daughter or relative, just just some orphan that had attached herself to this lady. Anyway, the lady tried to sell me this girl for 40 DM.
I was horrified and the worst thing? I should have bought that kid. My value system failed me.
I did not purchase a child because my Protestant Value System said slavery was Wrong. I regret that decision every day. Every time I look at my daughter's face I see that child I did not buy.
It's why I do not 'do' Western' Christianity. Or Judaism. Those value systems failed me in my time of need.
It's the exact reason I am Eastern Orthodox Christian.

Agree. Like when someone just blurts that a certain law may be racist, asking what in particular is racist will generally tie them in knots.
Plus, most people aren't accustomed to addressing direct questions.

A way of imparting information through questioning. Rather than stating a fact (or *the* fact), you ask a question likely to lead the subject to answer correctly if he stops and thinks about what you're asking in the context of the discussion. It encourages critical thinking and uses argument as an instruction tool. It draws out ideas and presuppositions as opposed to a simple declaration of facts that might not break through.
It's not a good method for learning or teaching things that must be learned by rote (e.g., "5x5 == 25"), but it is excellent for more complex topics. You eliminate wrong ideas one after another through calm argumentation, leading the subject to the correct answer (or even finding it yourself). I was first introduced to it as an instruction style in high school.

Not necessarily, probably the thing I despise USA suit-and-tie Republicans for, more than anything, is the attitude that any co-operative effort is COMMUNISM. It is not. Community involvement isn't Bolshevism. Paul Ryan is a complete piece of shit, and yet he's a Republican. The instant people realize that a common effort isn't Bolshevism the whole thing falls apart. It's a balance. Any physical society requires some part of your work to go to the common good. It's that simple.

The Mensheviks were deviant. Mao was a deviant. The sexual deviancy is present at the revolutions of most of the left. The Bolsheviks wiped out the Mensheviks, that's why the USSR wasn't deviant.
But the US wasn't why the Mensheviks were deviant. Usually the leftist revolution has multiple "types" involved so to speak. The victory of one doesn't make the others inauthentically left.

For example, I went out with a girl I'm seeing and several of her friends and their spouses. This one guy was sitting across from me and said he was from Texas, had two moms, and now worked for a make up company. But he's dating a chick.
I said "oh, right on" or something. It was kind of weird that he's dumping his whole life story on me, but whatever.
Later that night, my girl said "I don't think he liked you" and I said "why?" and she said because I was supposed to say something along the lines of "that must have been really hard growing up in texas with lesbian moms, you must be so glad to live here now."
...And it would never occur to me to say that. But apparently that was some kind of a shit test, and I failed.

'Leftism' is a misnomer and it's been weaponized to demonize anything co-operative.
The ultimate foundation of 'Leftism' is a philosophical/theological denial of the existence of the individual.
It's Energy Worship, and it goes unnoticed as far too many Christians or whatever think Paganism is worshiping statues or pictures: in fact True Paganism is worshiping an unnameable and/or unknowable Energy Force.

And I am invested in this thing, in chaotic warfare children are bought and sold, it's a thing. It's common. What really cracked me Back When was having a desperate refugee woman present a girl to me, probably 6 or so, not her daughter or relative, just just some orphan that had attached herself to this lady. Anyway, the lady tried to sell me this girl for 40 DM.
I was horrified and the worst thing? I should have bought that kid. My value system failed me.
I did not purchase a child because my Protestant Value System said slavery was Wrong. I regret that decision every day. Every time I look at my daughter's face I see that child I did not buy.
It's why I do not 'do' Western' Christianity. Or Judaism. Those value systems failed me in my time of need.
It's the exact reason I am Eastern Orthodox Christian.

Debating a liberal chick, who maintained that a woman who killed her husband (in his sleep!) was justified in doing so because she thought he was going to kill her.
"So if her husband for some reason thought that she was going to kill HIM, he'd have been justified in killing her first?"

But the US wasn't why the Mensheviks were deviant. Usually the leftist revolution has multiple "types" involved so to speak. The victory of one doesn't make the others inauthentically left.

Look I am a hard rightist Salazar fanboy. But point out one Leftist government that was sexually deviant. They always always purged the deviants. And heterosexual promiscuity is hardly "deviant". Even if dysgenic.

de Sade predates Marx by 100 years. Of course, de Sade is not going to fall into the Marxian idea of the left.
The Marxian left is demarcated by all those who want to push to live in Marx's imagination of how the future would progress.
If you don't like Marx's "final age", then you're "right".
But Marx didn't define the "left", which is what we get from the French National Assembly. The Jacobins do.

The deviants usually bunch with the anarchists(or possibly these are the same group). As a rule the anarchists either lose in the initial struggle with the non-left, or to other rivals because their ideology sucks at maintaining power. But they show up like clockwork in socialist revolutions and are useful for overthrowing governments.

The Jacobins were the ancestors of the neo-libs.
But ok. All right. In my original post I will retract Leftist and substitute Marxist.
But then Leftist is not the proper term for US neo-globohomo-libs either.
At least if both neo-libs and Marxists are Leftists.
But if you want to remove Marxists fro Leftists, fine by me.

Yes. And Marxists know this very well. And other communists or as I would say hard-leftists who favor a materialist view of history.
Any leftist not a materialist is a neo-lib to me. Hence bizarre sexual perversions due to idealism.

So you are in fact arguing a true school of Marxism. I'd argue the anarchists and deviants represent his beliefs in destruction, deconstruction, and revolution to their logical extreme. Russian Marxism(and hence the American CPUSA and Russian aligned communists) is heavily based on Stalin and Lenin's thinking.

I don't follow in re "true school".
Marx and someone like Bakunin were not very much alike except for an eschatological tendency.
Neither were the Spanish Anarchists and Spanish Commies.
Anarchists always lose because they are such broken deviants.

Just for the record, I think the Jacobins are a good name for the US neo-libs or the opponents of the Right.
Much much better than Leftist.
As almost everyone who has been taught about leftism in the US thinks it refers to Marxists.
Jacobins were not materialists. And Marxists are. Materialism being used in its philosophical meaning not just worldly.
And globohomo is anti-materialist. Or idealist.

Well Marxism explicitly calls for a falling away of the state after the original economic organization. His economic writings also advocate for people ultimately working in things they like(inconsistent with his condemnations elsewhere). Libertines based on Marx have some plausible things to draw upon. Communism as implemented by Lenin and Stalin had little to draw upon in ways of an operational theory, arguably most of their practices are innovation. In Stalin's case he was intentionally imitating the Tsars. Mao was intentionally imitating an imagined notion of Qin Shi Huang at times. Hard to cut out one group as "not really Marxist".

Marxists are materialists and at least begin with Marx's texts.
I think there have been a lot of Marxists.
I don't know of a single libertine Marxist government.
Marx facilely paraphrased Hegel and libertines are (I think definitonally) idealists. So some may quote Marx.
But matetialist libertine is an oxymoron as far as I understand the terms.
