Global wildlife trafficking is on the rise, adding a dimension to transnational crime and increasing the risk that U.S. corporations could unwittingly become entangled in the illicit trade. A new white paper by Moody’s Analytics highlights the growing risk for private enterprise, and the growing involvement of transnational crime in wildlife smuggling. “Brands sometimes are involved in supply chains and they might not truly know who their supplier is,” said Richard Graham, Third Party Risk Management lead at Moody’s Analytics. “If you’re doing business with someone that is a supplier that is involved in some sort of wildlife trafficking, via...

The German government are considering proposals to open “body exploration rooms” for young children who wish to explore their sexuality with adults. Germany’s top professional association on sexuality and partnership, Pro Familia, is lobbying the government to force daycare centers to implement “body exploration rooms” and “sexual games” for young children. The issue was first reported by news outlet BILD who revealed that parents were sent an e-mail from an Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) daycare center in the Hanover region which presented a list of ten rules explaining how children in the “body exploration room” would be encouraged to “pet and examine”...

(Photo by Alexandra Gorn on Unsplash) It’s shocking, though in no way overstated, to conclude that Americans today are living through a time of total spiritual warfare, when virtually all of the most contentious and consequential issues are neither political, ideological nor psychological. They are flat-out spiritual – good versus evil. There’s the early sexualization of innocent children in the nation’s public schools. And the mass-hysteria transgender craze that seduces mentally fragile teenagers into undergoing mutilating and irreversible surgeries. And the love affair with killing human babies in their mother’s womb. And the massive foreign invasion of America, purposefully engineered...

Over a dozen men have been charged with sex crimes in Australia following an American FBI investigation that proved fatal for two agents. Officials announced Tuesday that 19 men had been arrested and charged with a combined 138 offenses in connection to an international pedophile ring. "We will allege that these men were members of a technologically sophisticated online child abuse network that was operating across the country," Australian Federal Police Commander Helen Schneider told news outlets. Two of the suspects have already been convicted and sentenced, according to authorities. Those convicted are set to serve approximately 15 years in...

As someone who has dealt with the back end of trafficking, namely the people who make it to the United States and are able to somehow find a lawyer to help them seek asylum and protection, I can confirm that many of the scenes depicted in “Sound of Freedom” echo what people have told me in the past about how they made their way to the U.S. So many of these people, both old clients and acquaintances, have talked about the subterfuge used to lure people into the sex trades, the random violence and brutality of the human traffickers, and...

A report published by India’s Union Home Ministry last week revealed that over a million women and girls disappeared between 2019 and 2021. 250,000 of the disappearances involved girls under the age of 18.Roughly 80,000 of the women went missing in the national capital of New Delhi.India’s National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), which provided data for the report to parliament, blamed “forced marriage, domestic work, sexual exploitation, and child labor” plus “mental illness, miscommunication, misadventure, domestic violence, and being victim of a crime” as the main reasons for the huge number of missing women.The NCRB said many of the women...

How far would you go to act on a principle or conviction that moves you? To what lengths would you sacrifice your financial security, well-being, and status to save other people’s lives? To what extent would you go beyond these things and risk your life in areas entrenched in life-threatening danger, knowing that you may never see your family again? Such is the story of Tim Ballard, in his quest to bust an international child trafficking ring. The Story: The movie begins with Homeland Security Special Investigations operative Tim Ballard (Jim Caveziel), whose career in breaking up child pornography and...

Human trafficking — both sex trafficking and labor trafficking, including of children — remains a widespread global problem, and America is not left untouched. Here is what you should know about human trafficking.

Among the left-leaning critics attacking the surprise hit film "Sound of Freedom," about a man who quits his Department of Homeland Security job hunting pedophiles to rescue sex-trafficked children in Colombia, is a man who worked for a group that is leading efforts to recast pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons," or MAPs The person who wrote this Bloomberg opinion piece is leftist activist Noah Berlatsky @nberlat.

The Alabama woman who mysteriously reappeared two days after vanishing when she stopped to help a toddler who was walking on the side of a highway was likely not the target of sex traffickers, according to a report. A human trafficking expert on Monday threw cold water on Carlee Russell’s parents’ suggestion that the tot was used as “bait” to lure the 25-year-old nursing student out of her car and kidnap her. “As far as we are aware, this is not a tactic that traffickers use,” Sabrina Thulander, a spokesperson for Polaris, the nonprofit that runs the National Human Trafficking...

California Democrats reversed course and moved to strengthen sentencing for trafficking minors after public outrage over the Assembly Public Safety Committee’s initial failure to approve the bill. With a final vote of 6-0, including two abstentions from progressive Democrats, the bill now moves to the Appropriations Committee, after which, if it is approved, can move the bill to be voted upon by the entire State Assembly. If passed, SB 14 will make trafficking of minors a serious felony that would qualify under California’s three strikes law, which keeps dangerous, serial criminals off the streets, and make individuals convicted of the...

Clip of the message from Jim Caviezel that follows the screening of Sound of Freedom. All rights belong to the film creators, Angel Studios

For some odd reason, a certain contingent of the population is trying to downplay how serious of a problem child sex trafficking has become. This is evident by the fact that many leftists have reacted negatively to Jim Caviezel’s new movie “Sound of Freedom.” The movie seems to have rattled many of them in a major way, which begs a serious question: Why? Why would anyone have a problem with Jim Caviezel bringing attention to something like this? We can only speculate on the answer to that question of course. However, here’s another question… Why did the DOJ suddenly remove...

The Department of Justice erased content from its webpage on child sex trafficking that highlighted the plight of “international sex trafficking of minors” in late May.The stunning revision comes amidst scrutiny of President Joe Biden’s continued incitement of mass migration via America’s porous southern border – a prime avenue for child sex trafficking – and also coincides with the recent release of the film “The Sound of Freedom.”The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) webpage chronicling what constitutes child sex trafficking and how the department is combatting it underwent severe revisions on May 12th, 2023, including the erasure of the three sections:...

God's children are not for sale! So, what do we do now? How do we put the fear of God in the pedophiles and traffickers? How about, for a start, a letter writing campaign to our State and Federal elected representatives with God's Children are Not For Sale! End 21st Century Slavery, Now! in the subject line. Demand that laws against child pornography and human trafficking be enforced, that penalties be increased up to and including the death penalty, and that investigations and prosecutions be prioritized at the state and national level, ASAP!

Sunday July 2, 2023 – The US government has urged the appeals court to uphold Ghislaine Maxwell’s s3x trafficking conviction and 20-year sentence for helping Jeffrey Epstein se3ually abuse teenage girls. This is coming after the disgraced socialite launched a bid to dismiss the case. In a filing with the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on Thursday night, federal prosecutors said none of Maxwell’s legal arguments about the fairness of her trial held merit. ‘The government’s evidence at trial established that over the course of a decade, Maxwell facilitated and participated in the sexual abuse of multiple...
