Child Trafficking – Hear Their Voices

Sometimes words aren’t enough. Sometimes they are shocking. I share this video with you so you will know that others are trying to do their part to help educate us on human trafficking. Blake Lively does her best to communicate to her audience the difficult conversation about child trafficking. I do my best to communicate to my readers about human trafficking, but sometimes listening to another give the listener a different point of view. Please do you research and find out how you can assist in taking down these traffickers and make the world a safer place for the children.

The Deeper Issue is…

Control.

They who have control have power. They who have power have money. They who have money have control.

I know many will agree when I say the one percenters who have the money, the power, and the control, have the ability to remove the suffering of the world. Many people before me have said this. So it may not hold much weight. I’m only repeating what has been said.

I’m asking each of you to look into the foundations and organizations that provide services to ease human suffering. If so much money is being dumped into their programs why do we still see such poverty. I can’t provide an answer to you here. I’m hoping you will research one foundation or organization and comment below. Let me know what you find.

Now I return to the plight of human trafficking. There is a connection here. We only need to connect the dots. While you do your research I will remind you that we are talking about hundreds of thousands of children.

I have been following the blog published on the Underground Railroad site. I want to open your eyes to what most people still have yet to understand. In a one week period of time (March 1 – 7) by US Law Enforcement and citizens. There were four operations that took out perpetrators and contributors to human trafficking listed in the blog. This is in only one week. The posts are listed below and link back to the original post.

POLICE DISCUSS ARRESTS OF 7 MEN IN LOUISVILLE HUMAN TRAFFICKING STING

UTAH PILOTS LANDING AT EVERY AIRPORT IN THE STATE TO RAISE AWARENESS OF CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING

MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY INVESTING $2 MILLION TO PREVENT YOUTH SEX TRAFFICKING

TWO YAKIMA MEN ARRESTED IN SEX TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATION OF TEEN GIRL

Keep your eyes open. Watch that which goes on around you. Listen. If you see something that looks or feel “off”, it probably is. We all become important in breaking the chain of terror that has become human trafficking.

I mentioned in an earlier blog. I am a small voice. I may not be heard around the world. But if one person hears me and shares what I say here, I have made a difference. You to can make a difference by sharing information and asking those you share with to do the same.

Wake Up: Human Trafficking is Real

I’d like to say I’m taking on a cause. But the cause is so great that I can only hope to make a small dent in what, over the last few years has come to light. Human trafficking.

I’m only one voice, and my voice isn’t an important one. At least as far as compares to those who many think are important because of their social status. I don’t believe social status matters. We can be deceived by smoking mirrors. Look deep into what on the surface may appear to be goodness.

Photo by Muhammadtaha Ibrahim Ma'aji on UnsplashWe have all taught our children not to talk to strangers. Don’t take candy from strangers and never get in the car of someone who offers you something or says they are bringing you to your mom. I think we can agree we have each used the lines I mentioned. 

But think of those children whose parents are absent in some reason from the life of their son or daughter. Those children are usually living in despair. They don’t have anything to look forward to, so any offer may sound better than what they are experiencing in their life. They jump at the chance for a better life. And to their demise. They disappear never to be seen again.

Today we know where those children have gone. We know that children are the prey of a dark plan that uses our greatest resource to feed their excesses.

In my blog on March 8, 2020 I mentioned the good work being done by the Underground Railroad. They set out to rescue children from their captors. The task turned out to be greater than anyone imagined. The evil greater that most thought humanly possible.

Nothing is as it seems. It is in the darkness that the crime is committed. The torture begins and end for a small child in a death that we can’t imagine. I can’t tell anyone what to think or do. I will ask you to visit The Underground Railroad and help in what ever way possible. If we don’t save the children we will be condemning the world to darkness.

Our Greatest Resource, Our Greatest Cause

Today seems a fitting day to give birth to an idea.

Although the idea isn’t really an idea. It is a truth.

We live in world that wants instant gratification. We have cell phones that provide us with our every desire at our fingertips. We can watch t.v., movies, and Youtube. We can access our banking information, purchase plane tickets, and call for a cab. We can schedule appointments and reservations. We can turn up the heat in our house or see who is at our door when we’re a million miles from home.

If we can do all these things, why can’t we keep our children safe. They are our greatest resource. Our future. Oh, I’m sure your children are at home with you, or at school or maybe at a friends house. You know where they are. For now.

We live in world where no one is safe from the darkness we pretend doesn’t exist. We turn a blind eye to reality that children go missing everyday. How many people stop when they walk into Walmart to look at the faces of those children reported missing, that may have no hope of ever returning home. That’s right those children and thousands of others. No hundreds of thousands others.

How many of you have heard of The Underground Railroad? The Underground Railroad I’m talking about is a group of professionals consisting of former CIA, past and current law enforcement, and highly skilled operatives. These professionals lead coordinated identification and extraction efforts in conjunction with law enforcement throughout the world. They are the angels who are saving the children from certain death.

There is evil in our world. It’s all around us. It doesn’t matter if you believe in good an evil, what matters is those who perpetrate the crimes on these children believe in it. They not only believe it, they are it. Today I am not prepared to share with you details of the horror, but If for some reason you are not aware, I’d like to bring your attention to the crime of child trafficking.

The Underground Railroad is working not only to bring home the children, but to provide necessary aftercare to assist all victims in the healing process.

Many of us, myself included often don’t think we have a voice. We don’t believe we will be heard as we stand up for a cause that can change the world. I may not be able to change the world, but today I’m taking my first step to what I can to help make a difference. I might not be able to change the world. You might not be able to change the world. But together, imagine what we can do. We are the light of the world. The many beacons that shine in the dark. Together we can shine; a great brilliant light that can cast out all darkness.

Please continue to follow me as from my corner of the world, I offer my little flicker of light, in my words. Watch as the world finally comes together and destroys the darkness of Human trafficking.

I hope you too, will find a way to assist in this valuable effort.

The Silent Children

There are evil things going on in the world that most people know nothing about. Human trafficking is happening and has been happening for centuries.

I’m sharing a video with you today about the world of human trafficking. The video I’m sharing is a documentary film that was started by Lisa Beane and Leroy Moore (Dave Matthews Band). Chris Cornell joined Leroy and Lisa as a financial backer to the project. Chester Bennington, Linkin Park producer joined as a collaborator.

To stress the severity of exposing human trafficking, I must tell you that the only person who worked on the documentary that is still alive is Lisa Beane.

Please pray for all those who continue to work to expose human trafficking. They take their lives in their hand every time they open their mouth.
