Defense Contractors and Human Trafficking Part 2

in #informationwar6 years ago (edited)

The U.S. Pentagon has a Human Trafficking problem. What makes this crime so vile is the fact it's financed by the U.S. Taxpayer, even worse the Pentagons budget now stands at over 700 Billion dollars, and entirely unaccounted for, with Billions of taxpayers dollars financing Human Trafficking.

The amount of evidence, and data on Human Trafficking commited by Defense Contractors is so overwhelming. It appears the biggest offenders are subcontractors who are Human Trafficking slave labor that is numbered into thousands upon thousands of victims. Next on a smaller scale would be individual predators that work overseas for Defense Contractors that use their employment to commit unspeakable acts against women, and children.

In part 1 I highlighted Dyncorp during the Bosnian, Serbian conflict during the late 90's early 2000's. This case from Dyncorp received so much attention in the public and in the U.S. Government that it should have set a precedent and stopped Human Trafficking all together. It's 2018 and Human Trafficking by Defense Contractors is rampant.

US firm accused of complicity in shocking crimes at Iraqi air base

Sallyport Global is a large Defense Contractor for the Pentagon that proves the U.S. Government hasn't learned anything about large shady Corporations since Dyncorp.

Sallyport Global was an American company that was paid almost $700 million for security on Balad Air Base in Iraq for F-16 fighter jets. With company knowledge they pretended not to be aware of alcohol smuggling, theft, security violations, and allegations of sex trafficking. When all these issues were brought to light, Sallyport Global fired the investigators Robert Cole, and Kristie King, who uncovered the rampant crime on base. A classic move right out of Dyncorp's playbook. Hire investigator's to look for any signs of criminal acts, than terminate their employment, and assassinate their character when they successfully do their job, and find cases of criminal behavior. In this case with Sallyport Global Human Trafficking was one of the crimes investigated, and overlooked.

From CBS News:
The fired investigators, Robert Cole and Kristie King, said they uncovered evidence that Sallyport employees were involved in human trafficking for prostitution. Staff on base routinely flew smuggled alcohol onto the base in such high volumes that a plane once seesawed on the tarmac under the weight. Rogue militia stole enormous generators using flatbed trucks and a 60-foot crane, driving right past Sallyport security guards.

As Cole and King sought to get to the bottom of the alcohol smuggling, they stumbled across a prostitution ring in Baghdad whose customers included Sallyport employees, informants said. They learned that four Ethiopians who had previously worked as prostitutes at the hotel had moved to Balad and were doing the same while moonlighting as Sallyport housekeepers.

Before either investigation was completed, a Sallyport executive in Virginia shut them down

The two investigators, Robert Cole and Kristie King, reported in February 2016 that four Ethiopian women who were suspected of working at a hotel in Baghdad as prostitutes were moved to the base that SallyPort Global was paid money to protect, after customers at the hotel complained about contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Those customers included Sallyport employees, the investigators said.

While the human trafficking crimes under Sallyport Global's watch are the most heinous commited in this investigation they were only a fraction of the crimes financed by American Taxpayer's, which brings up more than just the issue of Human Trafficking by Defense Contractors.

Why do American's struggle daily, with stagnant wages, increasing Austerity Measures, a tax on the poor every year for those who can't afford health insurance, yet American Taxpayer's pay Billions for inferior services better suited for the U.S. Military to manage, that are being run like overseas organized crime rings. We can't afford better roads and infrastructure, better pay for teacher's, but we can afford to pay SallyPort Global 700 million dollars for sloppy inferior services so it's employee's can run organized crime rings which are 100% financed by a majority of American Citizens struggling to survive daily.

I always barely scratch the surface in every case. I encourage anyone with real interest to read the links I provide for the real story. The subject of Human Trafficking by Defense Contractors is so large that I could literally write a story a day on the subject, and never run out of material.

Every time you hear anyone, wether they are left, or right leaning complaining that The U S. Government can not afford to pay for this program or that project, or how we are 21 Trillion Dollars in debt, know that Billions of dollars every year are being paid by the American Taxpayer to finance inferior services, and organized criminal acts, and Human Trafficking on an industrial scale.

God, it’s gonna be sweet watching all this shit get properly exposed, brought to justice, and the evil empire FALL...

Brother I am thinking all the people asleep who have been calling bullshit and conspiracy theories are going to burn the place down when the truth hits, I think everyone who knows and has been spreading the word is going to stand back and just watch the everyday people storm the Bastille so to speak, when they find out what these criminals have done to children, Trump is going to have to emergency airlift the Clinton's and Podesta's to Guantanamo Bay for their own safety. I still can't believe we are free from these crooks for the moment, with Social Media running censorship purges hard on the message it must be hard core panic in DC!

Really interesting and well written article but I feel the need to take you to task on one small point.

How much Human Trafficking is tolerable when Taxpayers are paying for the abuse?

I just wanted to say that really it should be NONE is tolerable whoever is paying the bill. It's a vile abhorrent trade equally in all circumstances so using human trafficking as a tool to emphasise a point about tax payers is a bit out of order I feel.
Take care and best wishes to you:-)

Absolutely, that needs to be edited, I read that again and it doesn't come out right, I appreciate the time you took to view my post and leave a comment, have a great day!
