In Omaha NE tonight, a local television station is airing a special on sex slavery. Look up "Omaha, sex trafficking" and you will find many results going back a few years. I've copied one below (edited for brevity).
Consider this information in light of Hillary and corporate media's response to questions about Alefantis,, their breathless defense of his pizza shop, and the Podesta emails.
This is the man they're putting their reputations on the line for, whilst seeming to uphold the contention that child trafficking is an absurd accusation on its face:
NEBRASKA (NTV) — Right now, there is sex for sale somewhere in Nebraska. It’s a crime that plays out in parking lots, at truck stops, in hotels and homes; but it’s not always between two consenting adults, like we see with prostitution.
Instead, experts say it’s often human trafficking, someone being held prisoner and forced into a life they never wanted to be a part of.
“Where it’s red there’s really a huge demand, and there’s Hastings and Grand Island, there’s demand for sex there,” said Anna Brewer, who worked with the FBI for 20 years.
Research done by Creighton University, shows that sex is advertised online in nearly every part of the state.
“To think that the community you live in, Kearney, Lexington, Grand Island; there’s demand for sex there,” said Brewer. “If there was no demand, the traffickers would not bring these girls to these small rural areas.”
For 6 years, Brewer led the FBI’s Omaha Child Exploitation Task Force, and investigated sex trafficking cases across the country. She says gone are the days of people circling blocks looking for sex; today, you can scroll through ads on your phone and pick a human being to buy.
“80% of sex trafficking happens on the internet. It’s not the traditional walking the street like it used to be,” said Brewer.
According to research done by Creighton University, funded by the Women’s Fund of Omaha, there are 900 people for sale online every month in Nebraska, and almost all of them are female.
[And from an earlier article, "The Creighton Human Trafficking Initiative has identified over 2,200 human beings for sale in Omaha"]
“The ads will use words as fresh, new, new meat, virgin; words like that to insinuate that they’re young,” said Brewer. “That speaks to the demand. Who do the buyers want? Often times they identify them as being 18, because that’s the barley legal age to be able to post online. When we see 18, that’s a huge indicator that it could be someone underage.”
Men and women exploiting strangers; and even parents selling their own kids right here in central Nebraska.
Back in 2013, a Franklin County mother was sentenced to 80 years in prison for trafficking her two children to her boyfriend and people she met online.
In May of 2012, Michelle Randall put a personal ad on Craigslist offering female companionship in the Kearney area. She then offered the sexual services of her 14-year-old daughter to an undercover officer posing as a man answering the ad.
Court records show she also arranged for multiple men to have sex with her 7-year-old daughter in exchange for cash on several occasions, and the Upland woman sent pornographic pictures of her children to several men. Records say, at times she would watch them have sex and even join in.
Victims are often young and vulnerable; and traffickers use a number of tactics to establish control, including violence, threats and manipulation.
“If for example you were to look at an ad for a person on January 1, and then you looked for them a week later, and then a week later, and then a week later. You would see them moving across the country. You would see them in Denver one week, in Omaha the next week, in Chicago the next week, and then Philadelphia the next week; and when you look at that, that’s I-80,” said Brewer.
“You don’t have to be in an urban area,” said Brewer. “At the end of the day, the trafficker’s motivation is money. Money, money, money, money, money. There such little risk involved and such great reward in trafficking human beings.”

This is a very poor reflection of where we are as a society when parents are financially motivated to pimp out their own children. Regardless that there is a demand for sex with children by perverse deviants, the issue of financial insecurity is also exacerbating this problem, are all these parents drug addicts? what could they possibly be thinking?

This country's god is Mammon. We worship at the altar of consumerism. It's preached to us everyday, everywhere, in 30 second - 3 minute bursts. Mammon will fill that aching hole in our hearts and lives. It will make us better. Or so we think. # endingsermonnow
