What's Going On with Child Trafficking and Why Doesn't It Get News Coverage?

the jurgen experience human trafficking that's another thing that we don't talk about yes that is another thing that just goes in and out of the news we were talking about on the podcast the 39 or 35 kids that were rescued in georgia and it was a blip in the news like how and but meanwhile i saw a thousand articles on how mean ellen is yes ellen's mean she's so mean you know there's like people are out there risking their life to stop human trafficking they're rescuing children yes from human trafficking yes what is this u.s marshal wow 72 million missing children excuse me 72 let's say a million 72 missing children across indiana iowa uh ohio and georgia in the past several weeks in the past several weeks so what is what is this is where these so when you read an article like that u.s marshals rescued 72 missing children you this is where like all the q and on people get crazy because they think that donald trump is secretly working behind the scenes to stop child trafficking and that there's like some secret cabal in the government that wants to enable this [ __ ] and then facebook bans q and on and they everyone's going crazy now like this this child trafficking thing is real is real it has always existed did you know that houston is actually one of the hubs for child trafficking in the us really yes it is now how do they how do they find out about child trafficking like what what do they how do they infiltrate so usually it's local law enforcement that recognizes some abnormalities in the behavior of some of the children usually it's certain areas certain shops certain businesses that are kind of harboring these people a lot of them just get stopped because i mean it's kind of really odd if you're in a van or an 18 wheeler and then there's like 20 kids in it it's weird and we as a culture have got to work with local law enforcement to start to curb this thing because that's where the rubber meets the road i don't know if you saw the story i don't know if you could pull it up sir but if you saw the story about the flight attendant yeah that helped out yes the girl that recognized the abnormality of a girl on a flight by herself and saved her life yes and they had the authorities on the ground when the plane was ended yeah waiting yeah we got we have got to see more of that and so this is this is how we talk about the army you got to police your own troops we got to police our own if we are just uh uh acutely avoi acutely aware of the abnormalities and the behavior of young children who clearly are under duress we cannot turn the blo a blind eye to it why is this not a bigger story in mainstream news this is one of the things that concerns me i don't understand why you're not seeing this on cnn this isn't every day yeah aren't we seeing this every day on cnn right that story right there should be leading everything prime time news everything that should be leading 72 missing children rescued yes so how are they they can't it can't be just that they're randomly discovering what these kids in a truck or they see a kid on a plane acting weird and that's how they catch everybody like how are they infiltrating like how because there's there's also a bunch of guys that are former spec ops guys that are that are working to fight child trafficking how are they doing this so the solution to this in my opinion yeah i'll get i'll get your answer in a second dilutionist in my opinion is actually and i would be in huge favor of this of literally starting a separate task force to address this and known hot spots the other way we're finding out is to answer your question the other way that we're finding out as to how they're infiltrating is really if you go to hubs of the world like houston you go to coastal cities where people are actually bringing people into the country that's exactly where you're going to find a lot of it so if you just kind of hang out around these areas then then you'll see a lot more of it you'll discover a lot more of it and so houston has become kind of one of those hubs because of its geographic locations it's actually near a port city and obviously people are coming through port cities at a higher rate cargo's coming through at a higher rate and so we're actually able to track that at a better rate if you just kind of hang around the hoop you'll find it um so how are these people communicating oh my goodness this is it seems like if the government can use programs like edward snowden revealed like how are they how are they organizing these things and where are they getting these kids from the gate these kids are actually all over the world a lot of them are coming from impoverished communities a lot of them are coming from impoverished countries and they're just shipping shipping them in a lot of them come from asian countries actually and a lot of them come from right here in the us and this is something that that dawned on me is particularly with having two girls now and that is it's also my job to continue to protect them and all of these young people and it's actually young boys as well it's not just it's not just young ladies it's actually coming upon them to keep them safe if we can't keep them safe then what are we doing here literally like that's our role now you know as fathers and as responsible human beings is keeping our young people safe and the biggest thing is this there clearly is an appetite and there clearly is a culture for it what i want to do is how do we place extreme punishment on those who behave in this yeah and partake in this behavior i tell you what it it could be happening right next door to you to somebody that seems to be a normal human being but we have got to stop them we have to stop the predator from feasting on our children yeah and it's got to be demonized let's let's demonize that yeah 100 yeah how how are these people communicating though are you doing it through the dark web are they doing it through forums are they doing it through are they using code like how are they doing this i've heard all the above yeah i've also heard communicating through just open email inboxes right they don't hit send but they have the password for multiple emails and they'll just go in get the message and then never open or close it so it's impossible basically to track it's just like a draft oh i see and so other people have the login and login and they and they check it out through the draft oh that makes sense and it's funny because this subject because of uh things like pizzagate the subject became so taboo that no one wants to talk about it because it sounds preposterous because pizzagate was so preposterous a guy shows up and with a gun looking for kids that are tied up in the basement and everybody's like oh my god there's nobody here everyone's wacky these child sex trafficking fanatics that are interested in this and that are trying to stop this they're all crazy people right but that's not really the case right the the problem with something like pizzagate is it it it confuses everybody yeah and you start thinking that all this stuff is nonsense but then these stories they they make it to these websites and you see that this is a real thing these are real news stories but then they don't get talked about in mainstream right and and then we lose track of who the real enemy is yeah that's a real enemy not ellen that's dangerous yeah right not eleanor being mean to our assistant just the [ __ ] it's over there because what we care about is so bizarre it's it's such a symptom of how how sick we are yes as a culture and that our priorities are so skewed and that this is sort of accentuated by our addiction to social media yeah and that people are concentrating so much on things that are trivial and nonsensical what's up buddy i i found an article on reuters that said that like the mainstream media is been reporting on this so like i'm looking through pages to find out details on different reporting of this i'm all i'm finding this on is like local news sites so how like what does that mean though that it's not being reported well you don't see it on cnn you're not seeing it as like mainstream television news where it's a big subject that gets discussed that we have a giant problem like this in this country that's what i'm saying i'm digging through here and then like the human trafficking angle according to what like the us marshal has done here it's one in four of these kids so if there's 25 kids picked up that's six or seven of them were human trafficking the other 25 20 or so or like kids that ran away or kids that were being abused and they found them because they were missing some of them missing for two weeks i'm up to two years wow not every kid is in a human trafficking that's those seventy two that's that that's everything the ones the 35 though in georgia i think those are all same thing yeah same kind of thing so they're collecting and then they're like reporting the numbers like they're getting they're collecting these 35 kids over a period of time and then they're reporting we found 35 because like it's a month later they found 35 kids one from uh september which would have been reported five weeks ago says that they recovered 25 missing and endangered children over the last month one and four was part of what they believe in alleged human trafficking situations obviously one is too many obviously obviously obviously but so it seems like there's all they're they're finding missing kids and a percentage of them happen to be a part of human trafficking and now here's the question how many of the kids that are being human trafficked actually get discovered we're finding this five here six here these parts how many of them actually are there do we know we don't right we don't we don't just the fact that it's a real thing is spooky as [ __ ] it is dangerous yeah it's terrifying it's terrifying for fathers and mothers it is you know it's like the fact that or brothers and sisters the fact that it could be someone close to you yes episodes of the joe rogan experience are now free on spotify

I dont know who this guest is. He seems like just another person that is like i dont like this stuff. Oh really why? What have you heard that you disagree with? I dont know... LOL

​

Anyways. This right wing conspiratorial narrative that no one is talking about human trafficking is completely and utterly ridiculous.

Even ashton kutcher participates in a international anti human trafficking organization and has sat in front of congress. Its pervasive in LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING COP SHOW, and countless movies about it. Taken, one of the most popular movies of its time is all about human trafficking. It meme'd and bumped liams career. lol

Lets go over some data and just some links of evidence that the news talks about trafficking all the time. Sigh. All of this below took me 11 seconds to find. I mean in the 11 seconds i typed "child trafficking mostly missing human" into google, and center clicked all these links. This is how little effor most people put into learning and understanding the things they talk about on podcast. Joe rogan couldve read all of this in eh, an hour or 2, and found it in literal seconds. I shouldnt pick on him because MOST podcasters do not do homework for their political takes, and its disturbing.

The Facts

The Defiance College news release mentions four distinct assertions: 800,000 children are reported missing every year, and of that, nearly half end up living on the streets. Then, of that 400,000 or so, 70 percent will become trafficking victims — most within 72 hours. Do the math, and that’s supposedly nearly 300,000 runaways a year trapped in the sex trade.

The news release provided no sources, but Tim Wedge, a Defiance College assistant professor, said the source of his statistics is NCMEC, though he did not provide citations.

“I did make a misstatement,” he added. “The statement that 70 percent of those children would be trafficked within 72 hours should have said that they would be ‘solicited for sex’ within the first 72 hours. That mistake was mine, and not NCMEC’s.”

This distinction obviously makes a big difference. But then Wedge pointed to the NCMEC’s “1 in 6” statistic as evidence that the news release was largely on target. “NCMEC estimates that 1 in 6 of all missing children are actively being trafficked (2014 figures). Using their 800,000 figure, this would be about 128,000 a year,” Wedge said.

But there are huge problems with the 800,000 figure in the first place. While it is mentioned in a document on the NCMEC Web site, the organization notes that it is old data from 1999, derived from the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Thrownaway Children (NISMART), a random-sample survey released by an arm of the Justice Department. As we have noted before, this same study is frequently misused for the misleading claim that 58,000 children a year are “abducted.” (The number of stereotypical kidnappings listed in the report is actually 115.)

Literally found in seconds. Most people are aware of this issue. Its in our pop culture. Its in the news. Yes it sucks that people talk about ellen being mean than talking about substantive issues, but it also sucks that you talk about transgender athletes like theyre taking over sports because of like 4 cases, instead of actually spending 40 minutes talking about substantive issues, JOE. Fucking look in the mirror son. lmao

His name is Wesley Hunt and is a Republican candidate for Tx-07, challenging the Democratic incumbent Lizzie Fletcher. He's a very close friends with Dan Crenshaw--that should probably tell you all you want to know about this bozo.

What scares me is that it looks likes Hunt has a good chance of winning. Tx-07 was a held by a Republican for over 14 years so Republicans are looking to take it back.

it was difficult to watch this podcast, Joe Rogan didn't even challenge Hunt when his logic was teetering into the ridiculousness.

[u/Menkoid]

I mean I don't know why you expect some high standard from Joe Rogan, he almost never researches things before he speaks about them.
