The riches of the poor

Yes Human Trafficking, collection of body parts, all for the rich that afford those items and they number in the millions that vie for those services around the world.

But Wait!

What about the slave wages that Corporate America pays? Here in America they either push their employees out the door by abusive practices and replace them with cheaper help or temporary hires OR they simply go overseas where they can do the same abusive workplace practices and pay their employees pennys on the dollar.

How accepted is that? That is America's routine Corporate practices. And when a organization yells about child slavery pouring out athletic footwear or designer jeans, the Corporate raiders strike to slap lawsuits on them to hush them up, and pour millions into a smear campaign which is quickly swallowed up by America's News Media outlets, oh the poor American Corporations doing such favors to the indigenous people's of South America, Caribbean Islands and India!

The slave trade is alive and well because Ethics and Morality are seldom ever taught in public education. They certainly are not found in many areas of politics nor in the average workplace.

When a entire civilization has very little regard for ethical behavior, it breaks down into the Republican Reagan Mantra of 'Me First and who cares about anyone else'.

In fact we expect a very high level of ethical behavior by the medical and science community. It is clear that is not being followed by doctors illegally harvesting body parts from the dead Haitian victims and scientists that are designing ever more lethal virus's for organizations to use for nefarious purposes.

Larry, if you're going to make blogs about Haiti, can you post them by Haitians. There is more to Haiti than voodoo, child slavery (which is a worldwide problem) and human trafficking. I am aware of the problems Haiti has ( as all countries do) but you're portraying Haiti the way the media always has. There is a rich culture and a lot of Haitians (besides Wyclef) who are trying to make Haiti a stronger nation. It these hard times it would help if Haiti is portrayed the way Haitians know it to be besides the problems.

Larry, I have spent several years of my life in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where the importation, exploitation, and abuse of citizens from outside that country is akin, with no reservations at all, to slavery. Primarily what I have personally witnessed were Filipino expatriates from all walks of life, more often nurses and laborers and those from other countries,as well. The treatment is often on a scale of accounts from those we have read or heard from African slaves during the darkest days in the evolution of this democracy. A monarchy does not have to conform to any conditions a democracy should, not always has, but should. I have then and do now decry their blind eye of acceptance that those of the monarchy cast toward this vile business. The monarchy permits it because they do it themselves, all those of the Saud family. The equally disgusting fact is, our government has known of it for over half a century and does, nor will ever do anything to condemn it. Like the catalyst of slavery that occurred within the borders of this democracy, its the MONEY....cheap labor..cheap oil, as well.

Alright, give the junk a break. Everyone is so sick of all the activist artists and celebrities piling out of the woodwork to "save the children." I worked with the UN DPKO in Haiti for 18 months and there was not one single reported case of predators, etc. Now all you clowns are screaming to the heavens about this but not one of you can cite a case or show where anjy of these predators or slavers are actually operating in Haiti. This and that fool Aaron Cohen who has bamboozled all of you into thinking he is doing great works in Cambodia. I live there and I have never seen him. Never heard of him until your little "special" on child trafficking in Cambodia. He is self-aggrandizing and is just making a name for himself and his band of merry men.
In short, if you ever want to get people to give aid, all of you need to stop hyping this nonsense and let the people who are really there to help do their work. All of these activist celebrities and artists, and, yeah, what the hell, all of you, should give up one half of your personal worth to help these unfortunates if you really feel so deeply.
Report the factual news and not the hype!

WOW what a powerful article–I wasn't aware about slavery. I feel it is more About The Greedy Man vs. The Poor People. @A.Smith I agree with u 100% u have a way of getting to the point without putting to bluntly.

Powerful and brought out many facets of the undiscussed.

A. Smith! Beautifully written. And your point well understood.

We shiver at the thought of horrific acts to mankind; however, under cloak and veil, other brutal acts are carried out here in the US will little notice! Could it be society has an acceptance built around this phenomenon, just like the Haitians? We smugly point our fingers at other countries and under bated breath whisper ‘how could a country allow such treatment of the human being’. While here in the US, similar treatments or treatments of another kind continue to go unnoticed!

With mothers selling their 6 month or less old babies for sex in exchange for drugs or the step father who has his 8 year old daughter sitting on his unclothed lap watching porn, or the 4 year old girl telling a social worker that the man next door made her gag and ‘it’ tasted bad……

Now some of you may say, Ah, but that is only in the poorest of places or city ghettos. This does not happen on my block or in my city. It could never happen in my home!

What the human mind does not want to see, our eyes will not! Next time take a good look at your neighbor’s children as you take off the blinders… Only then you will be able to see with clarity! And along with that comes the harshest of realities!

@ Ali Saqib

Don't feel bad. My belief is Not represented by anyone in Washington! It is.... what it is! Life is just not fair!!!

Larry, this is sooooo good. There are a lot of slaves today even here in America. Am just praying that some of these people who are adopting these children do not molest them or end up using them as slaves because so many of them are perverts who have been lurking for an opportunity.

hope many of these adopted haitian children will not be made into sex slaves by any of these people because so many people are so perverted these days or get so bored sexually that they want a third person in their bedroom

@ Ali Saqib

To continue with your listings:

There are 17 jewish senators in the Senate or 17%, (from 2% of the population of the USA).
1 black senator( representing about 30% of the population).
70% of the top three executives from the Wall Street are jewish, these guys brought us the latest financial crises.
Most americans who spied on us for foreign countries were jewish, such as the Rosenbergs, Karl Fuchs, etc.
Jewish organisations control our government, they give the direction for our presidents. Just see how President Obama changed his mind about the israeli settlements on the West Bank.

This article makes for disturbing reading.

Yes, it does seem like we are going backwards now in regards to slave wages, etc.

Quote from Bible – (MARK 10:23, 24 & 25) The Rich Young Man

23) – "Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!"

24) – The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Childen, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!"

25) – It i easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Correction sorry, (25) above should read –

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Funny that when cowards hide anonymously behind their computers, anti-semitism soars. Shameful!

@ Jessie, in a democratic system where money is used to purchase nearly everything, the bible quote you posted was used in an attempt to state physical belongings which hold someone back from crossing the great abyss.

It is not simply MONEY, it is anything and everything in the Physical Plane of existence. Children, a spouse, money, a bible, a 'holy' book, a 'lucky' charm, a niece, any cherished person, thing or item etc. which holds that person back is like a chain around your arms and legs.

Unlike some book, I am telling you this @ Jessie from experience first hand. It is not just MONEY.

Frank Bajak writing and reporting for the Associated Press today in
Port-au-Prince, Haiti stated that ten Americans were detained by Haitian police on Saturday as they tried to bus 33 children across the border into the Dominican Republic, allegedly without proper documents.

The Baptist church members from Idaho called it a "Haitian Orphan Rescue Mission," meant to save abandoned children from the chaos following Haiti's earthquake. Their plan was to scoop up 100 kids and take them by bus to a rented hotel at a beach resort in the Dominican Republic, where they planned to establish an orphanage.

Whether they realized it or not, these Americans — the first known to be taken into custody since the Jan. 12 earthquake — put themselves in the middle of a firestorm in Haiti, where government leaders have suspended adoptions amid fears that parent-less or lost children are more vulnerable than ever to child trafficking.

Hmm, scoop up 100 children that appeared homeless and bus them across the border to a beach resort in the Dominican Republic? And its a surprise they were ARRESTED? How many times have they done that before? I imagine the members in that Baptist Church will be paying for legal representation, bribes and fines for quite some time.

Some of the kidnapped children told the authority's they were definitely NOT orphans, and were lied to by the Christian Baptist organization who told them they were simply going to a daycare school. I hope these people are all convicted of kidnapping these children in Haitian courts.

There were no gross words or details presented. However, attitudes of denying or not wanting to look at our issues, for whatever reason, will continue to perpetuate this syndrome!

i SUPPORT LIFE. GO FOR THE GOLD FOCUS ON THE FAMILY. YOU ALWAYS DO A GREAT JOB.

@ lola

I only quoted the statistical details without any charges of wrong doings!I You cannot deny that the USA is run by jews, they control Hollywood, Wall Street, most banks, our congress, TV companies, newspapers and our politicians, just to name a few branches!!
The jews comprise only 2% of our population, then why do we have 17 jewish senators or 17% of the senate?

f you call me antisemite than you are dead wrong. I have jewish friends, my brother married a jewish woman and the only person I still keep meeting from high school days is also a jew!!

However, it bothers me that if one mentioned that Medoff, who stole billions from investors is a jew, immediately we are called antisemites. You must admit that most large frauds of stealing hundreds of millions were commited by jews, if not all. I could give you a very long list of names!
If we criticise Israel for occupying the west bank, building illegal towns for illegal immigrants, for bombing innocent civilians with white phosphor forbidden by the Geneva Convention, then we are antisemits.

I know, jews are the chosen people and they can do anything they want!
Do you know that many rabbies and progressive jews critisize the doings of Israel?
Are they also antisemites???

Just to educate you, not only the jews, but the arabs, the assyrians, the ethiopians and quite a few other small folks in that area are SEMITES and jews are only 5% of that group!!
So when Israel attacks arabs it is killing SEMITES!!
Is Israel also antisemite??
When I call the Mafia bloody gangsters am I anti-italian?
