This is a class act piece of work. The real thinkers in this world are onto something big. The combination of these efforts will be historic. Harvard has done us a good one with this paper published a couple years ago.
A great quote:
"the idea that the missionaries were acting to “save” these
children justified the damage they would have caused to the children and
their families. In this way, the Silsby case offers a window into international
and domestic child placement schemes that disrupt poor families and
disregard traditional forms of child placement"

On it, thanks! I remember reading something that they lied to the children's parents as well, not to mention they didn't have permits to take them to the Dominican Republic either like they claimed.

The judiciary was obviously compromised for letting her off so lightly. How is the wiki going? I've haven't looked at it lately, is the fake law suit threat still simmering?

Wiki's doing great! I'm about to record a show w/ Greg Carlwood on The Higherside Chats podcast on some of our recent discoveries: http://thehighersidechats.com
A large portion of the Wiki's research has also been accepted on https://our.wikileaks.org/Pizzagate and https://our.wikileaks.org/Stratfor
Thankfully the lawsuit crap went away with pizzagateDOTcom to my knowledge. No significant figure in the community, at least, has approached me any more on lawsuits. The Zippa auction was taken down, though, and now what they do is more-or-less out of my hands. We're all now well aware their intentions towards the community are dubious at best, and that's pretty much all I can do.
Facts are facts, and I'll call 'em as I find 'em.

What you are doing is amazing. Sorting the evidence and laying out there, getting it heard, this can change the world.

Thanks for the support! That's certainly the hope!
