Why the MSM Is Ignoring Trump's Sex Trafficking Busts

Since President Donald Trump has been sworn in on Jan. 20, authorities have arrested an unprecedented number of sexual predators involved in child sex trafficking rings in the United States. This should be one of the biggest stories in the national news. Instead, the mainstream media has barely, if at all, covered any of these mass pedophile arrests. This begs the question – why?

As a strong advocate for sex crime victims, I’ve been closely following the pedophile arrests since Trump took office. There have been a staggering 1,500-plus arrests in one short month; compare that to less than 400 sex trafficking-related arrests in 2014 according to the FBI. It’s been clear to me for awhile that Trump would make human trafficking a top priority. On October 8, 2012, Trump tweeted:

"Got to do something about these missing children grabbed by the perverts. Too many incidents – fast trial, death penalty."

My suspicions were confirmed on Feb. 23 when Trump gave a press conference from the White House addressing how human trafficking is a “dire problem” domestically and internationally. He gave further confirmation when he said: “Dedicated men and women across the federal government have focused on this for some time as you know -- it’s been much more focused over the last four weeks.” Trump’s press conference was barely a blip in the mainstream media and the massive arrests have been almost completely ignored by the MSM altogether. Here’s a rundown of some of the massive sex trafficking rings that have been broken up since Trump took office.

-On Jan. 27 authorities arrested 42 in a human trafficking operation in Tennessee.

-On Jan. 29 authorities announced that 474 were arrested in a statewide California human trafficking operation and 28 sexually exploited children were rescued.

-108 were arrested from Jan. 18 to Feb. 5 in Illinois as part of a national sex trafficking sting operation.

- 178 people were arrested in Texas for sex trafficking in sting that operated in January till Super Bowl Sunday.

-16 people were arrested in January in Michigan for sex trafficking during the Detroit Auto Show.

-In February, authorities arrested 11 in Virginia in a child sex sting.

-On Feb. 14 the Polk County sheriff announced that 42 were arrested in Florida in child pornography related cases.

As the MSM has ignored these historical arrests, they have zeroed in on casting conservative icon Milo Yiannopoulos as a monster. They claim he supports pedophilia based on comments he made in a video years ago. The reality is Milo was a victim of child sex abuse, and although he did joke about his abuse in an interview, he in no way promotes pedophilia. The opposite is true, and he addressed this controversy head on in a press conference. Not only is it normal for sex abuse victims to make light of their abuse as a coping mechanism, Milo has personally taken down and exposed pedophiles in his columns over the years. However, the mainstream media and the left ignored this information and demonized Milo. The irony of all this is that the left and MSM have been the biggest proponents of pedophilia. Salon has published articles attempting to normalize pedophilia; however, to maintain their faux outrage over Milo, they deleted them. The face of the very fake news network CNN, Jake Tapper, fired off several tweets condemning Milo. For example, he tweeted:

"My friend, a survivor of sex trafficking: "Milo straight up defended abusing 13 yr old boys...Please don't let that be normalized"

If Tapper is so concerned with sex trafficking, why in the world hasn’t he covered the massive sex trafficking arrests that have taken place since Trump took office? It seems he, and many in the leftist media, are only concerned with sex trafficking if it can be used to destroy a conservative.

After the MSM went after Milo, he was disinvited to speak at CPAC and his book deal was pulled. Let’s contrast this with one of the left’s heroes, Lena Dunham, who was a staunch and vocal Hillary Clinton supporter during her campaign. She got a $3.5 million book deal. In her book, she literally bragged about how she molested her little sister and made false claims that a conservative raped her in college. Has Fake Tapper or anyone in the MSM ever expressed outrage over her? Of course not!

Milo told this column that once one realizes the MSM “cares nothing for real victims and only wants its ideological enemies destroyed, this behavior becomes intelligible. Journalists don’t care about children. They care about damaging their political enemies.” Milo is absolutely right. This is why we’ve heard nothing from the MSM about the mass sex trafficking arrests and this will continue unless a conservative can be targeted.

The good news is that we have a president who genuinely does care about children and he’s vowed to make solving the human trafficking epidemic a priority. The recent pedophile arrests are just the tip of the iceberg and, whether Tapper and his ilk in the MSM like it or not, this story will eventually get so big that they will be forced to cover this horrific epidemic that has plagued our country for too damn long.

Good tactic to round up Democrats and Democratic donors.

In a recent interview Tappers wife said their favorite family restaurant is Comet Ping Pong Pizza

For those who have been following Pizzagate I need say no more

For those who have not suggest watching some videos by one of the featured bands that performs there, “ Heavy Breathing”

Corey Feldman is not necessarily an unimpeachable, reliable source but he has been in Hollywood a long time, since his youth, and has long maintained that homosexuality in Hollywood gets headlines good and bad but pedophilia is the real dirty secret.

One need only monitor the star system for those who are promoted as lead performers and as icons of the day: petite, big-eyed females who look much younger than they are and whose figures disappear as they take up smoking to drop weight and indulge in the still-extant blizzard of cocaine. Male actors are equally adolescent-looking...big-eyed (again), peach-fuzzed, voices with a higher pitch (Elijah Wood, Tobey Maguire) etc.

The point is that this sexual fascination with children is both a sickness and an obsession in many circles, even those considered otherwise respectable.

As usual, the media will not report truthfully on those they admire, with whom they are politically aligned, or to which they devote ‘soft news’ pieces (film hype etc.).

I don’t think the media would be able to ignore this story if Podesta is arrested.

Hitting too close to home. Don’t want to draw attention, lest they get caught up.

Chris Cumo outed himself as a pedo and is probably fine with sex trafficking. Especially little girls and boys.

These people are sick.

You may be right. Rumors abound that big things are percolating behind the scenes. Some are suggesting that much of the pushback against Trump is an attempt to keep dirty secrets secret.

We are continually seeing information leaking out about the infestation of perverts in high office. I think it’s more likely than not. There has been a pervasive scent of evil from DC for decades. Let’s hope for once they finally know fear.

A long time ago I made a comment about how small the island of Palm Beach is and Trump, spending much time there, must have some inside knowledge of Epstein and Clinton. My gut is telling me this will eventually snare Slick Willy. It would be Trump's style to cast a large net knowing exactly which fish he'll pull in.

Those arrests naturally create the expectation of MSM commentary regarding propagate.

They are utterly terrified of that.

There are even reports that something like ONE THIRD of all of the DC establishment is involved in one way or another.

Pedestal is simply the biggest fish.

Perhaps it’s too dangerous to answer it directly. Maybe the intent was to stoke discussion.
