Forgive me for erring to the side of highly suspicious when federal agencies are involved with the 'care' and 'protection' of children. Silsby is not connected, you're correct, but she is walking free after being caught smuggling children out of Haiti for the Clinton Foundation and the Federal Government seems just fine and dandy with that. We also know CPS is rife with corruption and unspeakable treatment of children. Children taken from their parents by court order and many times when parents violated the orders and attempted to get their children back, the Amber Alert system was used as a drag net. I think a top to bottom review of every Federal agency regarding children is long past due.

"You remain challenged to provide data or a source to support your assertion."

My assertion was a thought experiment, not a data claim.

You seem very vested in your claim. I expect that you will continue to write walls and walls of words about it. Good work so far.

You really just said that appeal to authority is only fallacious if the authority itself is false?

Okay, you just lost all credibility as an educated person of any kind.

Thanks and have a nice day.

You begin by setting yourself up as the One True Expert, and perhaps you are. But then you never go on to address the point that I raise, which is that the NCMEC, whether run by well meaning people who sometimes do good, could be (intentionally or not) supplying criminals with information they can use to be better criminals.

I would think an expert would understand how to address such a reasonable thought experiment in some way other than appeal to authority.

Look, I hope you're right, but you should understand that there will be investigation, regardless. Too much has been hidden in the past. As an investigator, don't you understand that?

You're defending a child smuggler.

Nice work.

You would think they would be aware of the despicable record of charities and government agencies designed to actually HELP children.

"Those YouTube videos about "a mysterious and alarming number of missing children in the DC area" are complete horsecrap."

They are no more horsecrap than all your playing around with numbers was horsecrap on the way to learning math. They very simply explanation that they indicated a "clearly immense simple distinction between Virginia and all other states regarding missing children," turned out to be (apparently) incorrect.

That doesn't mean there is nothing to learn from the data, as I've alluded to with additional thought experiments.

In the meantime, you might better question why all this research must be done publicly, which is problematic because it means that an organization that might be purely innocent and beneficial in nature is subjected publicly to experiments and speculation. Why is that? It's because after decades of known pedophile rings being mostly covered up time and again (in order to protect powerful people), the public now has the motivation and tools to conduct the investigations that our government refuses to conduct.

RealityCalls has done a nice service on one piece of this investigation, but that is in no way definitive of the sources of data, which are still obfuscated or unrevealed in important ways.

"Then to make matters worse, instead of acknowledging and apologizing...RealyCalls went to far as to accuse the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children of being incompetent for failing to conform to their stated falsehoods."

That's not what it sounded like to me. It sounded like she acknowledges that a step in the investigation that she undertook with her stats contact yielded information that shifted the relevant set of hypotheses. And that's...reasonable.

There is no point in being angry that the world has not yet conformed to your claimed omnipotence. Just explain your position as best you can and keep thinking about the problem.

"The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) is not an advertising group for missing children, they are an advertising group for law enforcement agencies to submit ads of missing children."

This is what is known as a "prior", which is an assumption underlying a belief system. Unless you run this agency, you don't know its intentions just like you don't know any other human's intentions.

I'm not stating that I know their intentions. I'm stating a hypothesis for the purpose of testing that hypothesis with other information to determine its consistency. This is an ordinary and reasonable thought experiment.

"you damn well better post from proof."

Um, no. Experiments aren't about proof. Experiments are about establishing consistency between hypotheses and observations.

That said, I know a lot more about this than I'm being up front about for a variety of reasons that I don't care to share with you. If I shared it straight out, it wouldn't be as valuable and convincing than if I walked people through thought experiments and allowed discussion of judgment of the details.

Well, as far as I am aware the NCMEC only have figures on missing children that they ADVERTISE. And there is an annual figure of 800,000 missing children from Reuters http://uk.reuters.com/article/us-usa-missing-children-idUSBRE83P14020120426. If you can clarify the situation that would be most appreciated because from my various conversations with individuals and agencies the situation is not clear - at least, as far as the public is concerned.

I believe there's alot going on with this group! https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1507993

John 'the untouchable' Walsh is conspicuous by his absence through all this. He's a total fraud. It doesn't take much digging in the rabbit hole to find that his son Adam's alleged kidnapping and beheading was nothing but a fake staged event that has made him a multi-millionaire.

Here is a quick thought on credibility: when I watched the video about Virginia kids being reported missing more (and the subsequent video explaining that VA might simply be the only state reporting well), I did the math and noted that the total numbers of children missing would still only be a few thousand if all states reported as well as VA does. But...500,000ish kids go missing every year. These numbers are so disparate that there is something that doesn't make sense. These numbers are not close to justified.

Now, it may be that the answer is simply 490,000 kids are found quickly out of those 500,000, but having watched the video reports from the 80s about how there are hundreds of young boys living on the streets in just a half square mile in Houston, turning tricks, I doubt it.

Don't forget that Amber Alert is where Hillary sent her convicted child trafficker friend Laura Silsby.

It's so insidious, isn't it ? These government entities are spending tax dollars on doing the exact opposite of what they claim. They are profiting again on the backside with payoffs for child trafficking, child porn, organ harvesting, slavery..

It's the definition of SATANIC

I voat that they are hindering the process. I saw a talk with Ted Gunderson where he said that he could find thousands of children annually if he had the budget they have, yet they locate very few.
