Hillary is out badmouthing Trump for separating children from their parents. I have to assume when Obama did this she was silent (or even applauding?)
From NY Mag
The United States government placed an unknown number of Central American migrant children into the custody of human traffickers after neglecting to run the most basic checks on these so-called “caregivers,” according to a Senate report released on Thursday.
In the fall of 2013, tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors traveled to the U.S. southern border, in flight from poverty and gang violence in Central America. At least six of those children were eventually resettled on an egg farm in Marion, Ohio, where their sponsors forced them to work 12 hours a day under threats of death. Local law enforcement uncovered the operation last year, prompting the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to open an inquiry into the federal government’s handling of migrants.
“It is intolerable that human trafficking — modern-day slavery — could occur in our own backyard,” Senator Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio and the chairman of the subcommittee, told the New York Times. “But what makes the Marion cases even more alarming is that a U.S. government agency was responsible for delivering some of the victims into the hands of their abusers.”
As detention centers became incapable of housing the massive influx of migrants, the Department of Health and Human Services started placing children into the care of sponsors who would oversee the minors until their bids for refugee status could be reviewed. But in many cases, officials failed to confirm whether the adults volunteering for this task were actually relatives or good Samaritans — and not unscrupulous egg farmers or child molesters. The department performed check-in visits at caretakers’ homes in only 5 percent of cases between 2013 and 2015, according to the report.
The Senate’s investigation built on an Associated Press report that found more than two dozen unaccompanied children were placed in homes where they were sexually abused, starved, or forced into slave labor. HHS claimed that it lacked the funds and authorities that a more rigorous screening process would have required. However, the investigation also found that HHS did not spend all of the money allocated to it for handling the crisis.
The agency placed 90,000 migrant children into sponsor care between 2013 and 2015. Exactly how many of those fell prey to traffickers is unknown, because the agency does not keep track.

The question is, Where the heck are those 90K children. They are hiding the numbers on everyday missing children as runaways or that they have returned when in fact, I bet they have not. They are good at Creative Math. Thousands have been lost within the foster care programs as well. What a Nasty Shameful Business HHS is running.

Why bother? Not surprised. They are a commodity to them. Not even numbers. If I find the article I read the other day will post. Over 20K lost within the Chicago DCFS foster care program.

From all I've seen, when the government "loses" something, they really mean they gave it to someone else. Like, for example, supplies our government has "lost" that ISIS has recovered in previous years.

I see what you mean. Yes, they certainly have a strange way of leaving things around. Very careless with our own people also. They certainly don't care whether those people are "found" or not. They don't really even care for their own. They would give them up in a heartbeat for the "cause".
REB_Militia ago
Yep. At a certain point, negligence becomes deliberate.
carmencita ago
Yeah, well in their case it is deliberate. They have been doing it for decades, unfortunately. Without our knowledge. The problem is how to get them to stop. There are more of us than them but so many are still asleep.

In the mid-1990's, President Bill Clinton denounced Illinois as the Calcutta of the child-welfare system, but after a class-action lawsuit and a reduction in the number of foster children from 52,000 to about 23,000, the Federal Department of Health and Human Services called it the ''Illinois Miracle,'' and asked the state to mentor others.
It's Worse!!! just did the exact math on that and OH BOY was I off. It was 29K Children. Where did they go? A Reduction. To Where? No explanation. There never is.

Exactly.

Yes. Good response. I will keep looking for the article.

Remember some of the early threads on "rendering"? Primarily by acid into black water drains.
carmencita ago
There was an article about how in China they are doing this to children. Disappearing with acid. Despicable Them. There are no words for things like that.

Evil. There is one word. Jesus is kicking their asses as we speak, I ASSURE YOU of that.
carmencita ago
I know that these words are used over and over and by me as well. It gets to the point where somehow the words do not seem evil enough. I guess it is because we have been at this so long and have read about so much. Evil Incarnate.

That's true. One wonders why these emails were allowed to leak to the public.I know this isn't a popular opinion, but i have seen evidence that Wikileaks and Assange are controlled opposition. Those emails were leaked for a reason. I wonder if they are simply getting us so used to their evil that finally we won't have any reaction at all. And judging by the response to WalMart/Merkley, I think we have reached that point. That is why i believe humans can't do anything to counteract this, and why God sends Jesus to help us out.

I fully believe that if Wikileaks was 100% independent from any government influence, Assange would have turned up dead a long time ago. The scary thing is, that dude doesn't even need to be in on it to be used as controlled opposition. In fact, it would behoove the handling organization to let him keep up the fiction in his own mind that's he's the hero of his story, and feed him whatever info they want to see him publish.
TrendyCantina ago
Exactly. He was raised in a cult, he was fodder to be used in this way.
We are to believe he is enemy number one of the U.S., that, like Snowden, the CIA really really wants him but they just can't get to him? Lol. Snowden was interviewed by NBC news in person, in Russia, but the CIA couldn't get him. Ok.
What I've noticed is that whenever questions arise about Assange, like when Steve Pzeniac came out and stated that Assange leaked on behalf of US Intel, instead of ever addressing the discrepancy, suddenly there is some drama - in this case it was of a series of disappearing acts and th script is flipped, the questions are forgotten, people join in vigils for him. He reappears and never ever explains to his adoring fans where he was or what happened. From what I can tell he thrives on drama or depends on it to keep the story going. If the CIA wanted him, that would be the end of it.
carmencita ago
I have hoped that Assange is for real, but am keeping an open mind. After all we have read and what has transpired Nothing is for sure at this point. So many people are uninformed that is the problem. If they took the time to find the truth, I am sure they would be protesting. I can't and don't want to believe that of my fellow humans. At least not most of them.

i guess i could just repost my earlier comment...
"We've been flourided, sprayed from above, we're swimming in a soup of 5-G and all kinds of cancer-causing chaotic energy fields, none of us have enough money to live, we are fed GMOs and told there is no reason to hope for a good future. Hillary can steal and election, the FBI can help her, and she won't get in trouble. That plan fails so we hear about it being Russia's fault, without proof, whilst the powers that be KNOWINGLY mess with a nuclear power.
It seems everything is bend on destruction right now. And if what we've learned from Pizzagate is true (and it is) the reason for this is that the world is run by a handful of families who actually legitimately worship satan, and do this all for him.
I think people are numbed down, dumbed down, programmed with deception, and very sick both physically and energetically.
Also we get so much thrown at us we can't appropriately react to any of it."
As for Assange, TIME magazine released an article announcing the new "leak site" Wikileaks when they first came on the scene - BEFORE they had even leaked anything. Assange thinks questions around 911 are tedious and won't talk about it, has never released anything about it. He promised to release the goods on BP during the oil spill, never did. And finally, Steve Pieczenik claimed that it was he and others in the 'white hat' side of the intel community that released the email through Assange, and thanked him profusely (since it kept HRClinton from getting in the White House, their sole intention). Assange never pushed back against those claims even though he has denied over and over leaking for US intel.
