The fact that these are local arrests slices through your theory.


What about the fact that these local arrests have nothing to do with trafficking in the first place?

The Cartels have jumped on the bandwagon as their drug profits wane from the weed trade legalizing in the USA.

The biggest issue is we only seem to focus trafficking efforts on sexual exploitation. its far more comprehensive.

Even the child sex trafficking that does exist somewhat in the US is your typical prostitution of homeless children...who are typically homeless due to sexual, physical, and/or psychological abuse in the home. A real analysis of sexual abuse of children starts at the home and should almost never leave an examination of the home.

But that's just not hypeable in law-enforcement and mass media terms - can you imagine a hype campaign on the dangers of step-dads?

I do think that there will be a sales pitch of this from certain aspects of the hyper-moral right re: single mothers. Sadly, there is a lot more evidence of this paradigm than the international cabal of elitists engaging in blood sacrifice and rape of children...but the banality of it likely won't catch on.

I can tell you this 100% does exist, though, from professional experience. Pedos know who to target in terms of specific characteristics of single moms.

Be careful. If you bring up the popularity of labor trafficking in relationship to sex trafficking, they will lie and claim you're arguing sex trafficking doesn't exist.

No one will care.

They only object to you because of the Prog language you continually use. re: Right wing conspiracy fetish.

So just a big grand conspiracy and not actual, ya know, law enforcement?

We should just stop pursuing criminals altogether that way it doesn’t look like a conspiracy.

Very few people give a frick about prostitution.

They are more likely to give a frick about "trafficking"

They’re intertwined and you know that. People didn’t realize the extent of this until about 20 years ago.

Sometimes.

However, historically, they were not.

Never seen Taxi Driver, I take it? They had it pretty nailed down in the 70s

The movie is a narrow view of what we’re talking about. You know better that rural prostitution was and is completely different. But try to stay on point, they are intertwined and yes much more now than in the past which is why I said to the American conscious that change wasn’t realized until recently.

Today, that movie is "child sex trafficking"

Find me an article from the period of release that used those terms, or any analysis of the movie using those terms into the 2010s. I'm sure some exist, but they're as rare as legit child sex trafficking not involving family or family friends in the US.

What changed, exactly?

I mean has our runaway population rates even increased? I haven't looked, but like most things, I'm guessing it peaked in the 80s and 90s like every other social pathology.

I care when women and children are forced into prostitution by violence, coercion, or the threat thereof, and so does every other decent human being. Your problem is you aren’t a decent human being.

This is bullshite and you know it. You're just being a dick and trying to paint right wingers as looney conspiracy nuts while simultaneously claiming you are not a leftist.

This is what lawyers do. They play semantics games and then try to claim they're smarter than everyone else because they do so.

Just comes down to economics. More black market opportunities today than ever before.

If there is money, people will take risk.

Cool. Society didn't.

Hence, changing what words mean (a liberal tactic) and making that "human trafficking" to make people react.

These are very common schemes with entrapping pedophiles and they're good to get headlines with zero risks to any actual child. However they do not involve human trafficking in any way shape or form by design


You have no idea what was being discussed in those online chats. They may have been discussing trafficking to meet certain tastes or whatever. Just because a child wasn't actually exchanged doesn't mean it wasn't discussed.

Did I make any partisan comments?

Hell, I even called them "Boomer conspiracy theories", which isn't partisan.

Why are YOU associating international cabals of elites engaging in blood sacrifice and rape of children with partisanship?

I don't, but correcting lies (like what you just did above) may seem that way, if you build your entire life around lies.

The child does not exist. No actual victim existed. It was LEO communicating via the chat.

How can a person who does not exist be trafficked?

Cool. Because it didn't happen, it didn't happen.

No, you and the other dregs of society on the left don’t care when women and children are exploited for sex purposes, the rest of the decent human beings of society do care and want those laws enforced:

Again, you aren’t a decent human being so I can see why you’d be so eager to dismiss the issue.

I guess you're tripling down on the lies because you can't answer the simple question of why you used "Trafficking" in the title of your thread citing an incident that involves none.
