Who Are the Peacekeepers?

Human trafficking has been a problem for centuries, I bet, even longer. I’ve been writing to you about the horror that remains hidden from us hoping we will all open our eyes to the truth.

Every year the rate of pedophilia, sex trafficking, and sexual abuse increases. It’s difficult to near impossible to provide accurate data related to Human Trafficking because so much of what happens is kept in the dark. I always suggest you do your research. You can click here for 2019 statistics per the US National Human Trafficking hotline. I’m always hesitant to believe just one source, because so many organizations are claiming to rescue children, when in reality they are part of the problem. Please research the topic.

Below is a video showing one instance where those who are called to keep the peace have been using their positions to rape women and children in the communities they are supposed to be protecting.

This video was recorded in 2017.

You might be surprised to know that it is the people we should be able to trust the most that are part of the problem. Suspect those that you would least expect like wealthy business people, politicians, the elite, people who head organizations or foundations that are put in place to protect human life. It’s scary to think that we have put our trust in these people and places. Again, do your research.

In the case of the above video we find the UN peacekeepers, people who were supposed to be protecting and keeping the peace, were inflicting pain and suffering on the communities they swore to protect.

You can refer to this Associated Press investigation where they revealed that over more than ten years there have been around 2,000 allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation by UN peacekeepers. It has been estimated that over 300 have been cases that involve children. And are you surprised? Not many of the perpetrators were arrested and convicted of their crimes.

Even more shocking is the child sex ring run by UN peacekeepers in Haiti. Poor children are left to scavenge for food, making them the perfect target for peacekeeper’s crimes. Children were enticed by food. Bribed with something so simple and necessary for survival, in exchange for sex from children as young as 12 years old. I won’t go into details of what these men did here because the details are shocking and horrific. I repeat do your research.

I keep saying “do your research” because you need to read for yourself what has been happening. So many people read articles and brush off the information, saying it can’t be true, because the information seems so horrific. It is because of the horror that you should question and start digging.

We have been asleep for too long. It’s time to wake up realize the truth and find a way to help end the evil that is taking our children. I like you am only one person, but you as an individual has a gift, a way that you could help, even in a small way. So, please take the time to find out what is happening to the children.

Human Trafficking

I’ve been discussing the horror that is Human Trafficking. Sometimes it’s difficult to find the words to communicate to the world about the topic.

Today I am sharing this video for you to watch. Two million child slaves and this is only the tip of the iceberg (so to speak).

We must wake up and do our part. You may not know what that looks like today, but think about the role you might be able to play to help.

Suicide and Our Military

Did you know September is National Suicide Prevention Month? There is much focus on suicide in recent months. Any life lost is terrible, and the announcement that David Buckel, Kate Spade, and Jon Paul Steuer took their lives was sad, each announcement brought more attention to the epidemic.

Suicide is a national problem that affects communities and families. It also affects our military in a major way. If we look at the statistics of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, they report 20 veterans who commit suicide each day. Veterans’ suicides make up 18% of suicide deaths.

If you look at a research report in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings journal, you’ll read that Army suicides increased 80% from 2004 to 2008. The Army is not the only branch of the military affected by suicide. In a recent US Veterans Magazine article, they quoted Dr. Gerstenhaber to have said, “The suicide rate for our veterans and active duty is around 50% higher than for their civilian counterparts, showing what a serious issue we have on our hands.” They quoted him as also having said, “This group of people have a tremendous amount of stress, and they need to know it’s not a sign of weakness to seek help. We have programs in place that have been successful in helping to reduce the suicide rates, and we want to expand those to help others around the nation.”

Dr. Gerstenhaber works with the EOD Warrior Foundation to address the need to reduce suicide rates. Together they continue to study and work closely with families affected by suicide. They established the EOD Warrior Foundation (through a merger of the EOD Memorial Foundation and the Wounded EOD Warrior Foundation) on March 1, 2013. They work to assist the community of Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) technicians. This organization is just one of many working with our veterans to assist our military to eradicate suicide.

We live in a time not so different from our forefathers. The one advantage we have is an openness and acceptance within our communities. We have developed programs to assist those in need. We have taken the time to devote to studies and statistics. Now we have to band together to offer our veterans a hand up (versus a handout). We need to learn to recognize the early signs of suicide and support those that cry out silently for help.

We may not hear their silent cries, but we can learn to recognize the signs and reach out to those that give so much of themselves to their country. We owe it to them, their families, and our country.

Understanding Human Trafficking

I’m posting this video as a service to our children. We need to wake up.

25 Children Located as Sex Trafficking Busts Continue

Operation Safety Net recovered 25 missing children during a two week stretch in Ohio. Operation Safety Net has been operating for two weeks and will, with local law enforcement, continue to carry out their rescue mission.

You can read the article here.

Each time I hear about a rescue I feel relief. Yet I know there are hundreds of thousands more children that need to be saved. We can help by keeping our eyes open. Recognizing when something doesn’t look right. Reporting what might look suspicious.

Our military and law enforcement agencies are working to save the children. President Trump early in his term promised to do all he could to bring to justice those who participate in this horrible crime. No matter their station in society.

“We have things happening that you don’t want to know about.” ~ President Trump

We may not want to know about what’s happening but we can’t turn our back on the children.

Save The Children.

39 Children Rescued During Georgia Sex Trafficking Bust

People may wonder why I re-post these news articles. I want to make my readers are aware (if they aren’t already) about the real pandemic. Human trafficking. Specifically Child Trafficking.

39 children were rescued during the Georgia sex trafficking bust. Those arrested include:

  • Moradeyo Amos Bandele – Arrested in Port St Lucie, FL – Warrant for Rape out of Conyers, GA
  • Trayon Moore – Dekalb County – Sex Trafficking and Probation Violation warrants
  • James Garcia – Arrested at a Motel in Clearwater, Fl – Warrants out of Whitfield County, GA – Aggravated Child Molestation, Aggravated Sodomy and Incest with a Minor
  • Faye Smith – Arrested at a motel in Clearwater, Fl – Warrant for Probation Violation
  • Sally Garcia – Arrested at a motel in Clearwater, Fl – Interference with Child Custody
  • Zachary Bailey Arrested in Columbus, GA – Human trafficking, Enticing of a Minor for Indecent Purposes, and Enticement of a Minor for Solicitation
  • Stanson Causey – Arrested in Jasper, GA – Registered Sex Offender arrested for Probation Violation
  • Kirk Waters – Arrested in Newton County, GA – Felon in Possession of a Firearm
  • Trevonte Shareef – Arrested in Newton County, GA – Interference with custody and obstruction

You can read the article here.

The children who are less fortunate, the ones who aren’t saved, will never see the light of day again. They aren’t being taken to be sold in adoption to good families. They are being used as sex slaves and human sacrifice. Many may think what I say can’t be true, but it is and we will all realize what is going on.

We need to save the children.

What is Truly Important?

I set this blog in place to discuss my writing. I’m a new author, who was hoping to interact with those who would become my audience.

I’ve written two books that though were supposed to be historical fiction, have turned out to be true crime. As I said, I started the blog to discuss these books and any new books that I write.

For now, I have to set aside promoting my writing, for a more important reason. We as a Nation are under attack. Slowly, we are being stripped of our freedoms and we aren’t fighting back. That’s because it’s happening through deceit, lies and manipulation. The main stream media is holding back important information. Information we need to make educated choices.

Our government, our social servants are not serving us. They are serving themselves. And the plate they eat from is heaped with bribes; dirty money and self-serving agendas. They know something many don’t. They don’t work for us they work for the corporation of which they are a part.

I think we need to rise above those who claim to serve us. We need to stop fighting among ourselves. The situation we now find ourselves in has nothing to do with politics, race, or religion. It has to do with slavery. Our slavery.

The global community has an agenda that includes bringing us to our knees and enslaving us. You can say I’m being extreme but if you follow my posts you will find that what I say is spot on. We only need to look at the human trafficking that has been going on for years.

Some of you might not like President Trump, but he has contributed to the destruction of human trafficking and has brought many good things to us. Before you get heated under the collar do some research. Look into the good things he’s done for our Nation. Things the media won’t cover. Then ask your self why? Why won’t the media tell us what is going on? Is it because they don’t want us to know? Are they afraid we might catch on to something bigger.

We are human beings. We are diverse, intelligent, kind, and loving. We deserve to know the truth. I wouldn’t expect everyone like President Trump. But I would expect that as human beings we would want for our children a safe place to grow up, jobs to grow into, and to be left with a better world than what we have experienced in the past.

I’m not a physic. I don’t claim to know what the future holds. But I can tell you that my intuition tells me the next six months to a year will be bumpy. Many things will be brought to light and many people will deny what they see.

When that happens, please remember we are all in the same boat. We should stand together, strong and proud to take back our Republic and live as the free Nation our Forefathers saw for us.

Together we stand strong, divided we will fall. We are the united states of America, UNITED in the idea that we should live as free individuals.

D-Day Tribute

Seventy-six years ago today (2020) the U.S. military landed on the beaches of Normandy, France to begin the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control during World War II. The liberation of Europe from Nazi control was the beginning of the end of Hitler’s rule.

Let’s remember a time when men rallied around an idea that would free all humankind from a tyrant who intended to eliminate a complete set of people and terrorize those that stood in his way…

Close your eyes and picture the scene. It is the morning of June 5, 1944, and General Dwight D. Eisenhower gives orders to begin Operation Overlord. This operation would come to be known as the largest amphibious military operation in history. General Eisenhower orders 6000 landing craft, ships and other vessels to transport 176,000 troops to begin its descent on the beaches of Normandy. Throughout the night 822 aircraft along with an additional 13,000 aircraft headed for Normandy where parachutists jumped to their possible deaths. By early morning 18,000 parachutists were already on the ground. The landing was the beginning of what would become one of the most talked-about battles in history. By day’s end, 155,000 Allied troops would successfully storm the beach, though 2000 lives would be lost at Omaha Beach.

The battle may not have gone as planned the Allies, however, by the end of June could pose 850,000 men and 150,000 vehicles in Normandy where they began the march across Europe.

This story and many others will be told throughout history. Most will never tire of hearing the tale of good winning over evil. This scene along with countless others will be the light we hold in our hearts. It is the sacrifice of men, young and old who gave their lives so others would be free from such tyranny.

The story may be 76 years old but the hope is still strong today. It stands the test of time and serves as a reminder to all that the pursuit of happiness comes at a price. The cost of life and limb is a high price to pay, yet men will continue to sacrifice their precious lives for the idea and hope that all humanity can live together in peace. So today and every day of my life I salute you. I salute all those that sacrifice their time and their life to keep us safe and deliver a message of peace throughout the world. Today I repeat the words that have been sung throughout the ages, “Let Freedom Ring”.

Memorial Day – As We Remember

Each day is a day of which to be thankful.

But as I reflect on this day, Memorial Day. I’m thankful for all those that have given their lives I may enjoy the freedoms I experience today.

I sit here thinking about the many men and women who today are far from home protecting an idea that stands above all. They protect freedom. Not just for us here in the United States, but also for those around the world that desire peace, yet still struggle to experience it.

We live in a country where people sometimes take for granted our freedoms. We think we have a right to or are entitled to freedom. Those that think that way are misguided. The freedom we enjoy today comes at a great cost of life and limb, of blood and tears.

For all those that sacrificed family, time and life, I salute you and thank you for your sacrifice. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!
