While we see new signs of corruption regarding voter suppression, electioneering, M.K. ultra style propaganda, cognitive dissonance, psychosis, and potentially straight up voter fraud, I am going to take a moment to go over a new trend we are seeing. With all of the insanity going on in the world, one of the many reasons to give the Trump administration another 4 years is the fact that the fight against human trafficking has seemingly ramped up since the inauguration.
Over the last month or so, I've noticed that many of these stories find a way to reach the masses on social media, but the major media networks, at least on television, are not providing much coverage.
Remember, during President Trump's town-hall with Samantha Guthrie, she "confronted" the President regarding the Q movement. With hostility, she cackled about how ridiculous it is to consider the political elite being bloodsucking vampire pedophiles. Now, despite how you personally feel about Q, anyone who has followed the boards knows that isn't exactly what they are claiming… she's close, though. There is a distinct pattern of behavior among the elite that lends credence to the broader concept of them being involved with trafficking and strange practices.
As it turns out, Trump has done a lot to combat this alarming and pressing issue.
Trump has issued two executive orders targeting human trafficking. The first, aimed at disbanding transnational criminal organizations that traffic humans, was signed on February 9, 2017.
The second-order concerned online child trafficking and sexual exploitation in the United States, and it was signed on January 31.
That's not all either…
Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017: amends existing legislation and establishes penalties for promoting or facilitating sex trafficking online.
Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017: raised the statute of limitations on human trafficking offenses to 10 years.
Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2017: amends several laws, authorizes funds, and various federal agencies to combat human trafficking.
Department of Homeland Security Blue Campaign Authorization Act: coordinates DHS efforts against human trafficking.
SOAR to Health and Wellness Act of 2018: A Health and Human Services program to train health care providers in recognizing and providing care to potential victims of human trafficking.
Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act: coordinates human trafficking prevention efforts across the Department of Transportation
No Human Trafficking on Our Roads Act: directs the Department of Transportation to disqualify a person from operating a commercial vehicle for life if said vehicle was used to traffic humans.
Abolish Human Trafficking Act of 2017: reauthorized the Domestic Trafficking Victims' Fund through 2023 and established additional anti-human trafficking measures across federal agencies.
Budgets for anti-human trafficking programs are referenced in other pieces of legislation passed during Trump's term. And two bills signed into law earlier this month, the Not Invisible Act of 2019 and Savanna's Act, addressed human trafficking prevention efforts for missing and murdered American Indians.
This really is an incredible development in the fight against child and human trafficking – which are two separate issues despite being within the same sphere of truly despicable crimes.
Now, we are beginning to see action concerning this fight. All I can say is… it's about time. These measures should have been implemented, and the battle against these psychopaths should have been just as important to every politician that came before President Trump's administration.
So, let's begin with the recent announcement.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf announced the opening of the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
The center is the first of its kind to support federal criminal investigations of human trafficking and to assist victims of human trafficking and forced labor.
While the center's establishment was historical in nature, it did not receive attention from much press at all. After the announcement was made Tuesday, reporters present from several corporate news outlets had no questions for any of the officials.
The absence of any fanfare is a little strange for such an important development in the continuous fight to save children and trafficking victims, to say the least. Nonetheless, as you are about to see, this issue has not been placed on the back burner, and incredibly The U.S. Marshals Service confirmed that more than 1,300 missing children had been rescued since the 2016 fiscal year.
This will be a continuous list of these operations – as they occur – I will continue to add them to the list. However, there is a clear distinction between past administrations and the current administration's tactics to combat this plague of violence, and it appears the fight is finally being taken to them.

If anything seems out of place with children in your neighborhood or you know of a missing child, you can call in tips to the U.S. Marshals tip line at 1-866-492-6833.
With the election currently up in the air and massive fraud cases being filed to contest the improprieties, there is little to be done except to hope that contingency plans have been in place.
I find it hard to believe that we all knew this would occur, and then our government sat back and allowed the fraud to take place.
It is true…we may be witnessing a coup de tat – one that consists of democrats and republicans alike; however, I feel as if we may be in for a surprise. With all of the proof floating around out there…a recount is necessary.
These developments regarding the fight against human trafficking, the peace deals in the middle east, bringing our troops home, taking on the pharmaceutical companies, and dismantling the establishments war machine has created a lot of enemies for the President, and they will try everything under the sun to ensure he is ousted.
Citizen journalists and the population as a whole cannot sit back silently and allow it to happen. We will keep exposing the fraud and highlighting the last 4 years' accomplishments. There is a lot more work that needs to be done to drain the swamp, but power will ultimately be returned to the people.
More to come soon and if you have any clips of the sketchy things happening during the election or stories related to the fight against human trafficking, feel free to send them over, and I can add them to the lists.
