Trafficking and Prostitution Services

I lived through Iran Contra in the 1980's.  For those of you who don't know what that is - what that is was our government was the one bringing cocaine into this country for mass sales to raise money in cash "off the books" to buy guns for the Contra's.  Now you're a CIA guy bringing in a boat load of cocaine through the pier - and then what?  Well first you need a scapegoat and someone who will actually process the leaves into the paste and then put it into bag and vials for sale.  Then you can go back to your nice little house in the Canyon's knowing the news is going to be showing images of Crips and Blood's, crack houses, battering rams, and all kinds of media making the world think it's the poor African American's who are responsible for this drug wave.  We didn't have the internet back then and trust me - a lot of those people who lived in Compton and south central were pretty pissed off about being blamed for this.  The propaganda bl

Don't get me wrong - I love cops.  I know we can't do without cops.  I just want to know that if I call a cop - that I'm going to get help.  Not call a cop and get in trouble for calling for help which is what happens when your pimp is a cop.  Which as this article shows - sometimes happens. http://nypost.com/2016/02/02/nypd-cop-ran-tri-state-prostitution-ring-officials-say/  Here we have a male cop who was pimping out these women whose wife was a cop also.  Now I ask you - who can these women call for help when being pimped by a cop?  Ex-military cop which means "scary" cop?  This guy was even observed by cops pimping - and yet they let him go without arresting him.  The only thing stopping him was a complaint to Internal Affairs.  Now granted he was arrested by a call to Internal Affairs, but how else would these women leave this situation without him being locked up and off the streets on bail?  Oh wait - you mean he might be locked up in jail and STILL be ab

Some of you may have heard the story of how when the Spaniards' came to Mexico, the Aztecs had never seen a ship before.  Because of how the mind works, the villagers weren't registering the ship approaching the coast.  However, the "shaman" or medicine man of the village was.  For two weeks he was sounding the alarm a ship was coming - only no one else was registering this until the ship landed and the men came onto land. I grew up being told "white slavery" didn't exist.  I also know that there was a blacklist on certain screen writers back when I was young in the 60's because of the fear of "communism".  I've seen movies like "Trumbo" and heard about this, but what does this really mean? I realized the world was not believing some of the things I was speaking about that I was witnessing while I was in the sex industry back in the late 1970's early 80's, nor were they believing other people speaking about the sam

In response to http://www.capradio.org/articles/2016/03/09/california-bill-continues-efforts-to-block-human-trafficking/  my comment is:  First of all, it's not always a "gang crime".  I'm sorry but I witnessed Iran Contra in the 1980's when the gangs were blamed for drugs.  I also watched as the Juvenile Justice Act was passed in 1974 shortly before.  So I have lived through a government run conspiracy where African American gangs were blamed for their actions they were forced into by poverty and discrimination once before.   The JJA had dealers targeting juveniles to run and sell drugs by giving them a slap on the wrist.  Suddenly I'm seeing parents getting their children to run and sell the drugs.  My mother worked at the juvenile courts and would tell me what was going on back then while I at 14, was being approached by dealers to get involved in drug and gun crime.  My mom scared me out of it - but no one warned us about sex trafficking.  So when I saw

I'm concerned about the photo of this woman being posted. http://sharedhope.org/2016/03/04/3-ways-church-helped-free/#comment-44197  When we were trying to convince the world sex trafficking was real - it was at a time when no one believed this was even real.  We had no choice but to come onto camera showing our eyes so people could hear and feel our pain, fear, and sincerity.   It was also the only way to get out information on the only hotline that existed for victims at a time when they couldn't even call the police or they'd be hung up on.  NOW however, w're hearing about these photos leading to stalking, firing, evictions, social shunning, even to old pimps coming back out of the woodwork after they've been released from jail.  Now when a "fake" does it like Samoly Mam - she has nothing to worry about.   But our point has been made.  The Trafficking Act of 2000 was passed.  We now have task forces, new laws, and even programs exist now where one can
