(14,530 posts)Who wants to bet that the sex slave ring doesn't have ties to Chinese intelligence? Right from the beginning I wondered who tipped off the police and why now?

(86,561 posts)that there is a huge human trafficking operation in the middle of this. They are hiding in plain sight. Where are all those girls and young women snatched at the border? WHY can't the children be reunited with their parents and families? Hardly anyone is very concerned about the Asian victims or the S. and Central American victims...
This has to stop immediately. There is plenty of evidence, get these fuckers out of office NOW!!
This is all about the cult of white male dominance.

(30,613 posts)Sounds like a sick Buck Henry sketch on SNL, but it's all too believable.
Remember Pizzagate? Remember how Reptilians love to project their sins on everybody else?

(86,561 posts)And was it Neilsen who said, "We didn't track the children we took from their parents because we just didn't tink anyone would care." ?
Fuck those bastards. They all need to be put in the position their victims are in... in cages and sold to be worked and raped to death.

(14,490 posts)"we just didn't think anyone would care" should be fired immediately without benefits. That sounds like an attitude taken from Ayn Rand.
They're not thinking as the American general public would at all, but as right-wing extremists instead....

(48,999 posts)The collusion crime is not as bad as the trafficking children crime. And the collusion crime is amenable to dragging out with endless litigation and hiding reports, etc.

(54,358 posts)And I don't think anyone will be doing any Oscar winning films about him any time soon. Mitch McTurtle has been far too canny a behind-the-scenes operator, only showing his ugly face in public when absolutely necessary. At age 77, he's not out for the money any more--he is driven by raw power and the pure satisfaction he derives from making people miserable. He is a true medieval figure in our modern midst.

(26,619 posts)Hes the very definition of despot.
DFW
(54,358 posts)A despot enjoys ruling over his unfortunate minions in public. Like Ceauşescu or Erdoğan. McTurtle enjoys the havoc of his machinations in private with a few cronies. He rarely crows about it in public. It is his own private pleasure, and he feels no need to overtly lord it over the unfortunate citizens of our country. Maybe he remembers what happened to Ceauşescu, and would like to avoid a similar fate.

(32,634 posts)From Daily Beast in the OP:
Cindy Yang founded a chain of massage parlors. One of those was busted by Florida police. Robert Kraft, owner of the perennial Super Bowl champions New England Patriots was arrested for what he allegedly did at that spa, as were other prominent men according to several reports.
The spa allegedly was engaged in trafficking young women from China, turning them into sex slaves locked into horrendous lives of serial rape and squalor. While Cindy Yang sold the massage parlor in question, she continued to own others that were suspected of also doing a brisk business in sexual services.
But Yang also founded a business with her husband in 2017 called GY US Investments which offered itself, according to the Mother Jones account, as an international business consulting firm that provides public relations services to assist business in America to establish and expand their brand image in the modern Chinese marketplace.
While that sounds like typical consulting firm gobbledygook, the rest of the site makes it clear that what the company did was promise access to the President of the United States, his family and his resort Mar-a-Lago as a way of helping Chinese businesses establish themselves in the U.S. and worldwide.

(8,020 posts)will they continue to circumvent the laws? Do they have enough power, wealth & Federal judges behind them to get away with it, continue it?
Trenzalore
(2,331 posts)There were 3 high profile uber wealthy old businessman all caught at the same suburban massage parlor.
The stories that are coming out about the founder and her connection to republican politics makes this make much more sense.
I also openly wonder if the owner has her own tapes that Trump has access to for blackmail of businessmen and republican congressmen.
QED
(2,747 posts)She shuttered her business to focus on her daddy's presidenting and then gets trademarks in China? For a business she shut down? How can we explain that except for corruption?

(62,444 posts)You mean other than the fact that it takes about a year from filing to registration, so if you go out of business during that time, theyll issue months later?

(9,426 posts)is for an escort business. In the latest budget, she will get $100 MILLION to "further small businesses for women overseas" Wanna bet HER business gets the lion's share? She is going back to her granddaddy's trade - prostitution. Remember tRump's grandpa owned brothels in Alaska and Canada. Ivanka has this in her DNA, so it is a natural fit.

(14,490 posts)From news snippets and investigative journalism I've read for years, many products and services we enjoy every day have trafficked labor components in them.....including most clothing we wear, many foods we eat, and most electronic devices we use.
I'm delighted to see this Chinese sex ring get busted and the practice is probably nation-wide, with many more operators than just Ms. Yang. This is just the tip of a huge iceberg that the wealthy will fight to keep concealed, when we consider that this issue runs through our food production industry, the hotel business, an extensive secretive system in industrial construction, and many others.
However, let's not forget that many workers that are trafficked do so willingly because they come from developing or third-world nations where poverty is extreme. Let's also remember that corporations owned by many billionaires that support the GOP would likely collapse if not for trafficked labor in their chain of costs.
I'm not positive about it happening, but America could be at the forefront of ending these practices world-wide.... .
