WTF ? Brain-washing and child slavery in my city ?

[detop]

Check this , it just came on the news this noon (scroll down for parts 2 and 3). What’s wrong with people ? Before, I disliked organized religion, but things like that makes me wonder if I shouldn’t hate it instead.

TING LIVED IN THIS LARGE, FENCED OFF COMPOUND THAT STRETCHES BEHIND THE RESTAURANT. FOR SIX MONTHS, SHE SAYS SHE RARELY SAW HER PARENTS. SHE WORKED FOR THE HO’S AS A WAITRESS, THEN IN THEIR KITCHEN, BUT WAS NEVER PAID A SALARY.

[Ting Tsai]
In the restaurant we worked about 10 hours a day.
[TODD VAN DER HEYDEN]
NO MONEY?
[Ting Tsai]
No money.
[TODD VAN DER HEYDEN]
NO TIPS?
[Ting Tsai]
No tips.
[TODD VAN DER HEYDEN]
NOTHING.
[Ting Tsai]
Nothing.

TING WASN’T ALONE. HER 17-YEAR-OLD BROTHER DEAN WAS ALSO SENT TO WORK AT THE RESTAURANT. HE SAYS THE HO’S WERE USING KIDS AS SLAVE LABOUR.

Sick fucks :mad:

This is just rank. Almost as bad as that Saudi that kept a slave-girl in his house in Britain! You always say to yourself, “It can’t happen here”, but then it DOES.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised after the Solar Temple and Roch “Moîse” Thériault, but for this to happen in a big city ? Fortunately, they appear to be not the brightest manipulators as shown in the following exchange

[JL] MR. VAN DER HEYDEN FROM CFCF TELEVISION. HE DID NOT TALK TO YOU?
[Shirley] we didn’t talk to him.
[JL] AND HE NEVER CALLED YOU.
[Richard] He did call me but we don’t interview or anything. We don’t want to interview with him.
[JL] I THOUGHT HE TALKED TO SOMEBODY.
[Shirley] No. I never called him back. I called my lawyer. And take this out. You know, you start from there and then you take me, my picture okay, I want your tape out. Give me back your tape. (bolding mine)

That’s absolutely disgusting. Are the police involved?

[detop]

Since it is relatively breaking news (it appeared on the news yesterday, the full report will be aired Sunday evening), nothing is definitve yet, but according to the report, both police and Youth Services are involved.

Go to yojur local library. Ask the periodical desk for the September 2003 National Geographic. Read the article “Slavery 2003”. It is all about slavery in the world today including slavery in America. You will be appalled!!!

[detop]

Thanks, I will have a look.

[JeffB]

National Geographic has an excerpt of the article available on-line. There is also a link to U.S. Department of State’s Trafficking in Persons Report.

Perhaps when President Bush finishes in Iraq; well, he can invade America next.

Slavery makes the world go 'round, it seems.

Hmm, let’s see. Humanity, or money? Humanity, or cheap labor? Seems like that’s a simple question for a LOT of people. Hint: the answer is NOT humanity.

It seems like an awful lot of people in the world look at their own children as gifts from God, and other people’s children as pennies from heaven.

I blame it all on free market capitalism. Free marketers look on workers as just another commodity, like toasters and wheat. The slavers are just putting their dry intellectual concept into practice.

JeffB, Tenar, thanks for the links. You know, that’s the kind of things that kinda make me lose faith in the human race.

Maybe we should nuke ourselves to oblivion and leave the world to the cockroaches, perhaps they will do a better job than us.

Nuke your own ass. I don’t even shop at Wal-Mart.
