Suffer the Children: The child sex trade is a global nightmare, but a former Interpol agent and a Boulder nonprofit are doing something about it.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.”
–Friedrich Nietzsche from Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future
David Race Bannon has nightmares that would freeze your marrow. In his dreams, he sees dismembered children, 4-year-olds chained to beds in Bangkok brothels, photographs of infant rape and images of blood–always blood. A former undercover Interpol agent who spent nearly 20 years fighting child pornography, child sexual slavery and child trafficking, Bannon has seen things the average decent adult cannot fathom and often refuses to accept.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of teenage girls and younger children of both sexes are kidnapped, sold or tricked into sexual slavery and shipped across international boundaries. Some work in brothels, while others are traded from one abuser to the next. Their suffering is often filmed and photographed, then sold over the Internet.

According to the Central Intelligence Agency, more than 50,000 people are trafficked into the United States as slaves annually. Many serve in the sex trade. In addition, an estimated 10 percent of the 800,000 American children who go missing each year end up being sold internationally for as much as $30,000 each. And not all of them are young girls.
“The primary target of those who abduct these children is a 5-year-old Caucasian male–blonde, blue-eyes,” Bannon says.
The typical recruiter in the United States is a woman age 21 to 25, who will approach preteen children who display character traits that make them look like victims, he says. Perhaps the child hangs out at the mall alone, complains of his parents or acts as if he doesn’t want to go home.

The Islamofascist religious freakdom of Saudi Arabia is a place where gender and religious apartheid is the norm the elites import sex slaves "maids" from places like Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines and take away their passports, their rights and their dignity.... where their "employers" are able to beat them, molest them, and rape them, and where the "mistress" of the house is unable/unwilling to act as she is a mere "woman", and her only course of action to seeing her husband screw the "maid" is to take out her frustrations on the innocent slave by beating her husbands after her lecherous husbands done.
Saudi, a proud nation where if your maid tries to run away because of your treatment, you can simply accuse her of "theft" and she conveniently ends up at "chop chop square" after Friday prayers... after all, shes "only a woman."
Is this our Race Bannon?
I feel dizzy.
Increased penalties for pedophiles, tourist or resident, in all countries seems the best practical approach. It will be a long time before the involved "businesses" will lose their protection in this part of the world.
According to the Central Intelligence Agency, more than 50,000 people are trafficked into the United States as slaves annually.
I bet most of those from the US don't go to Saudi Arabia so much as to Cuba. cuba's sex trade is booming. It's a haven for the world's pedophiles.
I have a 45 caliber penalty suggestion.
No, I wish I was this honorable. I dont know if I am as tough as that to put up with this stuff for 20 years...
Which Race Bannon are you referring to? This guy was an Interpol assassin. In the article, he says his mission was to hunt down the trafikkers and "take them" out.
Yeah, Cuba is turning into a brothel, but it is hard to come up with a number as to how many US kids end up in Saudi Arabia. According to www.sauduction.com, the Saudi royals go for the "top-of-the-line" children (i.e., the young, blond, blue-eyed type). Back in the 1980s, the Saudis carried out their activities right in the USA, but they were getting a bad rep. It was harder and harder for the State Dept. and other authorities to cover up for them. So, what do they do? Abduct children back to their palaces back to Saudi Arabia. Also, they like to abuse American children because it "proves" they are not America's "lackies" (according to www.sauduction.com).
You should really check out www.sauduction.com, it'll open your eyes. I think what they post is true, otherwise the Saudis would shut them down (they tried). Bad news about the Saudis don't get reported too much in the MSM. What you sometimes hear is jsut the tip of the iceberg. The Saudi royals know their days are numbered (eventually the Islamic radicals will overthrow them). They've bought up huge real estates in many western countries. I heard that Prince (don't remember his name offhand), the ambassador to the US, has a huge property in Aspen, with added security (taxpayer picks up the tab). Who knows, maybe one of these royals will be your (or my) neighbor when their regime comes to an end. Do you want your kids live next door to them?
