REPORT: Germany Files Charges Against Seven Not-For-Profit Groups for Human Trafficking – Including ‘Doctors Without Borders’

The Business of Human Trafficking

This issue of human trafficking has been a major topic of discussion among law-enforcement for a number of years, both nationally and internationally. This detestable business is actually the third largest criminal enterprise in the world. Even still, the subject is commonly ignored as unimportant and irrelevant by the MSM and within the arena of political debate. It is as though some politicians and news companies do not care about this despicable business of modern-day slavery. Yet its reality is clear.

A report funded by the Department of Justice was commissioned in the year 2000 to 2004 for the purpose of calculating the number of victims trafficked into the U.S. on an annual basis. This report was called Estimating Human Trafficking into the United States: Development of a Methodology and was published in 2006.

Among the many details this report offered were eight countries from which large numbers of trafficked victims were smuggled into the United States. These countries were Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and Venezuela. The routes these traffickers typically took were (and in many cases, still are) concentrated on the Southwestern border between the U.S. and Mexico.

The total number of trafficked victims that came through the border was upwards of 45,000 to 50,000 annually, though these numbers fluctuated over time. According to the ASPE and the Department of Health and Human Services, the means of estimating human trafficking rates are not as accurate as they could be at that point in time (circa 2000 through 2009).

In all of this, we may find it particularly strange to see that the issue of human trafficking has received so little attention since the 2009 report until today.

It is possible that there is more data available about trafficking statistics. However, if the apparent scarcity of this information is true to reality, we might consider the possibility that past governments and organizations refused to oppose these heinously criminal activities, and therefore did not bother to keep tabs on them.

If everyone involved in government were benevolent in their intentions, this ignorance would not make much sense, seeing that human trafficking represents the third largest business in the world. For what reason could the majority of government interests (as well as the majority of the MSM) have for ignoring such a massive problem of organized crime?

According to multiple sources, many government officials are actually invested in this type of trafficking and seek to profit off of multiple ventures of such profitable criminal activities. In the past, there appears to have been a token effort to stop this trafficking across U.S. borders. However, we might imagine that if these government interests intended to truly solve these problems, they would employ more direct efforts in doing so. They may have also kept better records of their efforts beyond the year 2009.

Now we have this new detail of NGOs and not-for-profit organizations being alleged perpetrators of these crimes on an international scale. These organizations are supposedly known for their benevolent focus and good will toward humanity. However, according to multiple sources, including the group Alternative for Germany, many of these organizations merely act as a front for the support of the third most lucrative criminal activity on the planet.

As serious as it may be, human trafficking is not the only issue which plagues world society in such a severe way. There is another issue which is equally as devastating and yet, has been just as easily ignored. This is the rampant issue of international drug trafficking. According to research, this is an issue that is just as prevalent within the United States as it is on an international scale, and even more so. In fact, in most cases, the U.S. is the largest importer and consumer of illegal drugs in the world.

No Excuse for Ignorance

Naturally, if it were not for the presence of the law-breakers, there would be no need for immigration restrictions. However, criminality appears to be a fact of life at present. Consequently, it is important to recognize and the deal with the fact as justly and fairly as possible.

At this point, as much time as the public has had to become aware of these rampant issues of human and drug trafficking, the fact should be common knowledge. However, the corporate media has apparently refused to fully inform the public. This seems to be a significant reason as to why the hysteria surrounding issues of immigration has been so common within Western society.

It also stands to reason that if criminal interests are professionals in their trade, they will be exceptionally good at evading law enforcement. Most criminals will learn to lie and successfully deceive even trained officers. This is why every individual who demonstrates the willingness to break laws must be screened so as to prevent further and more excessive criminal behavior.

The reality is that these examples of organized crimes do occur on an international scale. Therefore, it only stands to reason that borders must be carefully watched in order to prevent these crimes from crossing national lines. This may be the quickest way to free the unfortunate victims of trafficking.

The fact stands that security only exists for the lawless—those who are deceptive, dishonest, and who disregard human rights as important. In a situation of functional security, questionable individuals are detained and examined, while those who obey practical rules are allowed to pass. Before these decisions can be made, however, the true nature and intent of each individual must be determined.

As things stand, it does not appear possible to deliberately leave borders unguarded against these threats without either being completely ignorant of world events or without, in some way, being involved in these aspects of organized crime. (Although, being a willing enabler of these crimes is a possibility as well.)

Continued Ignorance vs. Solving the Problem

In general, in order to successfully bring human and drug trafficking to an end, it is important to set a standard of respect for the laws of a state/province/country so that those who inadvertently violate these standards have every opportunity to avoid such violations. This makes life easier on would-be immigrants, as well as the serviceman (and women) tasked with keeping borders secure and safe for all those who respect the laws.

As we might imagine, it is not possible to prevent the problems of drug and human trafficking without having effective security checks at border crossings. It is also even more difficult to maintain safety and civility within a nation if the very organizations tasked with supposed humanitarian action are major violators of human rights.

Let’s consider the true reality of the present state of the U.S. with regard to human trafficking.If anyone in an official seat had the intent to bring human trafficking to an end, they would need to ensure that the major routes which traffickers take are highly guarded against these criminals. If the situation improved over time, the laws might become less stringent in order to ease the difficulties of all those affected. However, initially, any solution to a problem as serious as human slavery can appear more stringent, given the severity of the state of the world.In order to stop the problem of trafficking, it is necessary to cut off the routes which these traffickers take. It is not very possible to simply ask these traffickers to stop doing what they’re doing. Those who smuggle drugs avoid border crossings simply because they do not want to be searched. Those who traffic children and slaves will typically pretend to be parents and family members, as these criminals would obviously not want to be caught. Consequently, they do everything they can to deceive authorities and continue with their “deliveries.” (This applies to the situation of every country facing these issues.)

With all that we’ve observed thus far, we might be curious to know why these facts and principles have not been discussed in corporate media here in the U.S. If human and drug trafficking are so significant on all fronts of the United States, then why does the corporate media so often manage to ignore this significance when discussing the topic of immigration. There appears to be a clear answer.

Falsehoods of the MSM

Naturally, anyone who is educated about these issues and desires to change the status of the U.S. from being the world’s largest importer of illegal drugs and human slaves will understand the importance of effective law enforcement. Further, any respectable media company that has taken the time to inform themselves about these multi-decade-old issues will take care to present the situation in a thorough and balanced way. However, this is not what the mainstream media has done in recent months.

If we have been observant, we may have noticed a common tactic of propaganda being used in MSM news reports lately. This tactic is known as false dilemma, and has been applied in numerous ways as the MSM delivers propagandized messages regarding the issue of human trafficking and immigration.

False dilemma is a tactic which presents two different positions of an argument and fictitiously proposes that these two choices are the only two perspectives that exist. In reality, there are countless perspectives to choose from as we contemplate any subject. Yet this propagandistic tactic ignores (and even attempts to circumvent) the ability of audience members to think for themselves and form their own conclusions.

In the case of the MSM’s discussion on immigration, the false dilemma has been, “Either you accept unlimited numbers of illegal immigrants into your country without exception, or you are racist and don’t care about human life.” Of course, we can see the falsehood within this statement, as we are now more aware of the complications of the situation.

We now know about the rampant issue of child and human trafficking and how crime syndicates and (allegedly) crooked corporations use this mass migration as cover for this trafficking. So then why does the MSM continually throw this false dilemma at the public instead of telling the whole story? Why do so many media companies choose sensationalist fluff over balanced and thorough reporting?

It is true that the U.S. is only one country in the world. However, up until this point, the United States has been number one on the list for illegal drug importers and one of the most faithful consumers of human slaves. Consequently, when we discuss the need to end these issues in the world, the U.S. in particular is obligated to clean up its act.

In simple terms, the concept of a country is much like that of a household. Though there are a number of differences between a house and a country, in general, the concepts are similar.

There are a number of rules for members of the household as well as similar rules  for guests. The benefits of being a household member or a friend of the household may be many. However, the responsibilities and expectations of the house apply more so to members than they do to new-comers. Even still, in order to maintain civility, there are certain rules which must be obeyed by all.

Now, in the above situation, if we were to introduce actual laws which enable intruders to violate the civility of a country by attempting to smuggle human slaves and dangerous, society-destroying chemicals into that country, we might clearly see the problem with such laws. According to multiple sources, this has been the exact situation in the United States and multiple countries in the world for a number of decades, and it is only now that something is being done to end the trafficking.

Again, it is unfortunate that those who may desire to respect the laws of a nation are made to undergo a stringent process of checks and balances. However, it may be even worse for those who are forced to live in slavery with no hope of being rescued without proper security checks in place.
