Why did * talk about Sex Trade at the UN?

[goclark]

The more I hear about all the Hookergate and Sex Scandals, the more my mind recalls that speech at the UN.

There's another humanitarian crisis spreading, yet hidden from view. Each year, an estimated 800,000 to 900,000 human beings are bought, sold or forced across the world's borders. Among them are hundreds of thousands of teenage girls, and others as young as five, who fall victim to the sex trade. This commerce in human life generates billions of dollars each year -- much of which is used to finance organized crime.

snip>There's a special evil in the abuse and exploitation of the most innocent and vulnerable. The victims of sex trade see little of life before they see the very worst of life -- an underground of brutality and lonely fear. Those who create these victims and profit from their suffering must be severely punished. Those who patronize this industry debase themselves and deepen the misery of others. And governments that tolerate this trade are tolerating a form of slavery.

snip >This problem has appeared in my own country, and we are working to stop it. The PROTECT Act, which I signed into law this year, makes it a crime for any person to enter the United States, or for any citizen to travel abroad, for the purpose of sex tourism involving children. The Department of Justice is actively investigating sex tour operators and patrons, who can face up to 30 years in prison. Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, the United States is using sanctions against governments to discourage human trafficking.

snip> The victims of this industry also need help from members of the United Nations. And this begins with clear standards and the certainty of punishment under laws of every country. Today, some nations make it a crime to sexually abuse children abroad. Such conduct should be a crime in all nations. Governments should inform travelers of the harm this industry does, and the severe punishments that will fall on its patrons. The American government is committing $50 million to support the good work of organizations that are rescuing women and children from exploitation, and giving them shelter and medical treatment and the hope of a new life. I urge other governments to do their part.

I remember listening to his words and they seemed so strange.

It was so out of character for him to give a damn about anyone.

At the time it seemed that he was speaking some kind of coded message and now I don't know what to think.

Do you think this "Compassion Speech" was sincere or did it have far reaching implications for more evil deeds by the RepubliCONS?

1. So he could give "Faith Based" anti-trafficking funds

Soldiers for Christ you know

[goclark]

2. Did the USA faith base crooks contribute or was it world wide

funding for something illegal.

Did the contributions ever change anything for the better?

3. Perhaps he was slathering on some teflon?

4. We know Junior's entire family is steeped in crime...

...and thuggery.

Chances are, they've been involved in such crimes.

My guess is that they've used victims of human trafficking to blackmail most politicians on Capitol Hill. It's one of the only explanations for the deafening silence during this incredibly perilous time in our nation's history. Most of them have been blackmailed into silence.

Furthermore, there was a Washington Times story about young boys "visiting" the White House--and rumors of child prostitution--going on inside the Bush Sr White House. These articles should have brought down the White House. They were buried. How odd.

My guess is that the Bush Crime family is very familiar with human trafficking. They've used the victims for their own power grabs and blackmailing schemes.

That speech Junior gave--was totally out of context. I saw him say the words. There was no emotion or concern for the victims in his words. He seemed oddly robotic. It was an odd speech for him. Has he ever mentioned child victims again? Has he EVER spoken out about missing children or the epidemic of childhood sexual abuse in this country? This is not an issue that interests him. This was a one-shot comment.

His speech mainly discussed the punishment for being caught--as if to send a signal to people--that they were on notice.

I wouldn't put anything past these thugs.
