Enough of proof from high enough level? (pizzagate)

I'd say yes. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime outlines the impetus for its report:

Trafficking in persons and corruption are closely linked criminal activities, whose interrelation is frequently referred to in international fora. Yet, the correlation between the two phenomena, and the actual impact of corruption on trafficking in persons, are generally neglected in the development and implementation of anti-human trafficking policies and measures. This lack of attention may substantially undermine initiatives to combat trafficking in persons and prevent the customization of responses as needed. Only after recognizing the existence and the effects of corruption in the context of human trafficking, can the challenges posed by it be met.

Most common among the corrupt practices used in trafficking persons, according to the report, are bribery and the abuse of power by border and visa officials. This chain extends farther, however, in some cases widening to include actors such as law enforcement and security officials, as well as parliamentarians and embassy staff.

Keep on digging!

More than 20,000 Syrian refugee children are "missing" now, after entering the EU.

I saw a pic on 4chan of a little Syrian boy who was found dead and organs harvested. Eyes taped up and looked like aftermath of a horror movie autopsy. I didn't save it, it made me so sick I never want to see it again, but I have no doubt that they are using these kids for their sick agenda. I wonder what happened to all those Central American kids (some as young as 2) who were brought unescorted to our southern border.

I am presently researching this topic and will post it on VOAT when I can.

Thousands of Syrian children have been trafficked in Lebanon and Turkey since the invasion of Syria in 2011as well.
