This Woman Spent Her Savings To Rescue 100 Dogs From The Yulin Dog Eating Festival

Every year the southern city of China, Yulin celebrates the summer solstice with a festival that involves the slaughter and consumption of as many as 10,000 dogs.  Many petitions have failed in the past but thanks to people taking real action, 100 dogs have been saved by a 65-year-old retired teacher. Her name is Yang Xiaoyun and she runs an animal shelter in Tianjin and had to travel more than 2,400km (1,500 miles) and spent more than $1,100 to save 100 dogs.

 She’s been rescuing animals since 1995 when she fell in love with a stray she took in, but she hasn’t had an easy time of it. She has taken in nearly 3,000 animals, many of whom she cares for at her rescue center in Tianjin.

Yang’s hard work has reportedly cost her her home and some of her family members, who disapproved of how much effort she was putting into the rescue operation. Although it’s been difficult to fully care for them, Yang says that while the situation is not ideal, they’re better off receiving regular meals with her than alone and at risk on the street – or, in the cages of butchers.

Yang runs an animal shelter called ‘Common Home’, which houses more than 1,000 rescued dogs.

Ms Yang makes and feeds the canines steamed corn bread twice a day, which is all she can afford.

Except for the weekends, when she treats them to hotdogs.

She provides them with all the attention they require — both medical and emotional.

And they pay her back the only way they know how, with undying love and adoration.

Ms Yang is not alone in her battle against this tradition. If you’d like to help, according to a blog found here, you can donate to Yang Xiaoyun through her bank via Direct Wire Transfer:

The Toughest And Most Feared Wrestler Of All Time

By Brian Damage

“There are 3 types of men: tough men, wrestler-tough men, and then there’s Meng.”- Arn Anderson

Very few men in the history of pro wrestling has garnered fear…legitimate fear for a single individual than Tonga Fifita. If the name doesn’t sound familiar, he was also known as Meng in WCW and Haku in the WWF. Regardless what you call him, make sure you do it with a smile and respect…because Tonga Fifita has one heck of a reputation.

The stories you hear or read are that of legend. Whether it’s gouging another wrestler’s eye out or breaking off someone’s bottom teeth in a brawl…Fifita has been called one…if not the toughest wrestlers in the business. A man who was truly feared and respected for his brute strength and unprecedented intensity. All it took was a certain look or glance from his eyes and you knew if you were going out of bounds.

Jake Roberts

“If I had a gun and was sitting inside a tank with one shell left and Meng is 300 yards away, he’s mine, right? Well the first thing I’m going to do is jump out of the tank and shoot myself because I don’t want to wound that son of a bitch and have him pissed off at me.”

tonga

Bobby Heenan

“The toughest man I’ve ever met in my life. “He took his two fingers on his right hand, his index finger and trigger finger, and he reached into a guy’s mouth and he broke off the guy’s bottom teeth.” Heenan added, ‘I wouldn’t have believed it, if I didn’t see it for myself.’ Bobby Heenan also claimed that Andre the Giant wasn’t afraid of anybody…except for Harley Race and Haku.

Ric Flair

Ric Flair comparing MMA fighters to Haku: “Don’t ever think that anybody would mess with Haku. If he was a young guy and he got into MMA, my god — he’d have done everything! He was the toughest son of a bitch I’ve ever met in my whole life. No lie, take my word for it.”

Rick Steiner

“I was in LA one time with him and he fought eight cops, they shot him with mace and he closed his eyes and sucked it in. He just opened his mouth and took a deep breath. I mean, some of the stuff he did was like ‘What the hell’. Scotty (Steiner)and I always thought we were tough guys but that was before we met Meng.”

The Late Chris Candido

“He was talking to me, Tammy, and Chris Jericho. In comes Eric Bischoff and Greg Gagne and they walk right in front of us and starts talking to Meng. He looks at them and goes ‘Hey!’ And the entire lockerroom just froze. I was like ‘Man, these weren’t just funny stories, this guy must really be tough.’ And then Meng says, ‘Apologize to my friends, I’m talking’ and everyone shuts up while Bischoff and Gagne apologize to me, Tammy, and Chris.”

Ted Dibiase

“Some of the guys got into a fight and Meng got involved. He was just trying to help and in the process of trying to help, he gets maced by 4 cops and handcuffed. Now they handcuffed him behind his back and then he said “Is this it?…and snapped off the handcuffs!”

Perry Saturn


Eric Bischoff

The former President of WCW has stated on numerous occasions that there were times that WCW wanted to release Meng from the company…but nobody did because everybody was afraid to do so. Even in an interview after Meng walked out of WCW as the Hardcore champion…Bischoff was very complimentary of Meng.

Brutus The Barber Beefcake


Kevin Sullivan

The former booker of WCW Kevin Sullivan tells a story about a run in he had with Meng…”One time I asked him to do something that was completely wrong and he got a little upset. And I mean that was the scaredest I’ve ever been in my life and he wasn’t even that upset….Thank God.”

Other stories include Fifita pushing a man through 3 doors with his bare hands and brute strength. He also admits to biting off a man’s nose for calling pro wrestling fake. He was later sued for over 2 million dollars because of that incident. Kevin Sullivan used Fifita as a threat to other wrestlers who wouldn’t cooperate or were difficult. When that would happen, Sullivan said he would bring Fifita into the room and have him stand there and the wrestlers would instantly work well with the plans.

Another story had Brutus Beefcake complain to WWF management that Fifita was working too stiff. When management confronted Fifita of the incident…Fifita went right after Beefcake. He found him in the shower and began choking him. It took management to ask Hulk Hogan to intervene and calm things down.

tonga

As the legend goes, Jesse Barr aka ‘Jimmy Jack Funk’ was being very difficult and it angered Fifita. The two got into a fight in which Fifita ripped out Jimmy Jack’s eye. While it was true that they had a fight in the WWF locker room, Fifita has stated that ripping his eye out was just an urban legend. Yes, he did gouge his eye, but realized that Barr had a family and was a brother on the road and stopped himself from further injuring him. Jesse Barr was later fired over the incident.

tonga

The Rock

Despite all the stories from his peers… many have also praised him for being a great, loving family man. A man who would give the shirt off his back for anyone who needed it.

How does alcohol kill brain cells and does it actually affect your cognitive ability in the long run?

Alcohol is metabolized in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes into a much, much more harmful molecule, acetaldehyde. Not only does this process produce a more harmful molecule, but it also eats through the body’s supply of NAD+, an important player in the Krebs cycle for generating energy. So your body has depleted its energy stores to create a deadly toxin.

Acetaldehyde then wreaks havoc in your body. It causes the liver to produce malondialdehyde, a highly reactive molecule that basically floats around your body throwing high-energy, non spin paired electrons into DNA, neurons, and literally any and every tissue in your body. This causes damage, making it carcinogenic and neurotoxic, as well as hepatotoxic and harmful for the kidneys, heart, pancreas, reproductive system, digestive tract, …rest of the body… Then to top it all off, acetaldehyde consumes more NAD+ to finally be made into the less harmful molecule acetate.

With a great lack of NAD+ and many key enzymes that are busy metabolizing alcohol, harmful metabolites begin to accumulate in the body. Catalase that would normally break down H2O2 is too busy breaking down alcohol, so the H2O2 accumulates, creating more free radical electrons and damage. Your body battles this oxidative stress with antioxidants like vitamin B and C. Antioxidants are then depleted. More oxidative stress. More damage. Less energy. Less antioxidants. Damage to all tissues ensues.

How can a ziplock bag seal tight enough to hold water, but you can smell marijuana through it easily?

Water is a special substance with a high surface tension. That means that water molecules have a firm grip on each other, and it takes significant pressure to push then through a tiny hole because they have to loosen their grips to fit through one at a time. Odors are gasses, and gasses love to drift around bumping into things like your nose. The Ziplock has tiny holes that are part of the thin membrane. Also, unless you’re really careful, you get your pot on the outside of the Ziplock when you handle it.

Why does it feel like it takes a long time to travel to a place but when returning it feels like it takes less time? 

An NPR article mentioned a study that concluded it is because on the way there you are focused on the time the entire way, constantly glancing at the clock to make sure you are on time. On the way home you pay less attention to the time and allow yourself to be distracted by other things, thus causing it to feel shorter.

Why can’t car makers shape $15-20k cars into the shape of Lamborghini’s and Ferraris?

Many reasons.

  • Cost: Yes, it is harder to form sheetmetal & wires into more complex shapes. Not prohibitively so, but it’s there.
  • Repairability: Complex shapes and angles are much harder to repair in the event of a collision. Shopping cart dings would be a PITA.
  • Practicality: Lots of the styling you see in a Ferrari is due to the body shape. Mid-engine RWD, low to the ground… It’s a great shape for performance, but visibility is extremely, limited, and there’s less usable space. Also, due to the aerodynamic elements and being so low to the ground, most supercars will scrape on most public driveways.

Take a honda accord, rearrange the engine, and shape it like a Lamborghini, and you’ll have a car with no usable space, impossible to see out of, scrapes on driveways, and, as a bonus, is still slow.

Why don’t I find my mom and sisters sexually attractive? 

Westermarck, an anthropologist, proposed that we are evolutionarily “trained” to avoid sexual contact with people we are very close to for the early part of our life (brothers, sisters, parents, etc.).

The idea is that evolution chooses people who show this aversion/disgust towards sex with those they are close to early in life because reproduction between close family members leads to reduced genetic diversity and (eventually) accumulation of bad mutations.

He proposed that this “Westermarck effect” could be proven because even non-related children who grow up together tend to show similar repulsion towards sex with each other (think of a close family friend you’ve known since childhood who you’d never want to have sex with because they’re “like a brother/sister to you”). Vice-versa, siblings separated at birth who meet much later in life might find themselves sexually attracted to each other despite being related (see, news stories about couples who later find out they’re related due to DNA testing, shock horror!).

HOWEVER: There are plenty of flaws in this theory however, and plenty of studies which have come out to oppose its findings. Other studies have found that people are attracted to people with more similar features to their own, which seems to contradict this theory. Long story short, science ain’t super clear, but it’s likely to be a combination of cultural and behavioural factors, tied to evolution.

What happens to the human body when you’re knocked out? Like in a fight?

Jaw Impact

A punch to the jaw causes the head to suddenly spin around. This quick motion of causes trauma to the brain that knocks the recipient out leaving him unconscious. Points on the jaw that are especially vulnerable to knockouts are the sides of the chin, and where the jaw is attaches to the skull.

Acceleration and Deceleration

When the jaw is punched, the head quickly accelerates around. After a fraction of a second, it quickly decelerates as muscles, tendons, and bones prevent the head from spinning any further. The brain inside the skull is floating in fluid. It accelerates slower than the rest of the head. This forces it to crash into the inside of the skull when the head stops.

*Brain Trauma * When the brain slams into the inside of the skull, it suffers trauma. It then bounces off the inside of the skull and slams into the opposite side. This causes even more trauma. Depending on the force of the punch, this can happen several times before the brain comes to rest inside the skull.

Nervous System Response

The trauma to the brain stimulates an overwhelming number of neurotransmitters to fire at the same time. This essentially overloads the nervous system sending it into a state of temporary paralysis. The person who is hit in the jaw loses consciousness and his muscles relax. The injured person falls to the ground with no memory of being hit.

Recovery

A person who is knocked out by a punch to the jaw suffers a severe concussion. It can take anywhere from several seconds to several minutes to regain consciousness. It all depends on the severity of the brain trauma. In mild cases, the person who is knocked out can shake off the punch with little more than a headache. In severe cases, brain trauma from a knockout punch to the jaw can cause cerebral bleeding and death.

Why do security cameras have terrible quality? Shouldn’t they have better quality to identify an individual with more ease?

Camera quality is easy. Recording space is your bottleneck. If I have 10 security cameras capturing HD video, I’m going to need a huge amount of space to store even a days worth of video, which is 240 hours of video at roughly 4 GB per hour. And that’s just at 720p.

So that’s almost 1TB per day, and its not unusual to have to keep a weeks worth of video at least. Double that if you want to have off site backups, assuming that you can afford the bandwidth to stream 10 movies out endlessly.

Why are the snacks so overpriced at the movie theatres?

Concessions highly subsidize ticket prices.

I have a friend that manages a movie theater.  He says he manages an “air conditioned popcorn and soda parlor that plays movies in the background.”

There are a couple things at play, here.

First, prices are set to what the market will bear or what competition demands.  Once a customer enters the doors of a movie theater, they are in a monopoly market.  There is no competition and the audience is captive.  The prices will then, of course, be higher than the same products in an environment in which multiple businesses are competing for customer dollars.

But, that natural process aside, movie theaters charge higher prices because they have to, to provide their services and profit.

When we pay our $10-$15 for our ticket and sit down in a packed theater with about 400 other people, it’s easy to imagine that the theater is making a killing.  But the theater doesn’t keep all of that money.  Movie theaters, distributors, and studios make a variety of deals with each other, so there isn’t one single set of numbers to use.  On average, for the first few weeks that a movie is playing in a theater, 70% of the revenue will go to the distributor/studio and 30% will be kept by the movie theater.  After those few weeks are over, the numbers will change, possibly switching to the reverse, where the theater keeps 70% and the distributor/studio keeps 30%.  The problem, for the theaters, is that by the time they can actually start keeping most of the money, the audience has dramatically shrunken in size.  Here’s a graph showing the numbers for a very successful film (Guardians of the Galaxy).

answers

In its opening week, Guardians of the Galaxy brought in almost $33,000 per screen for the week.  Using the above numbers (Marvel’s explicit arrangements with theaters aren’t public), the studio took $23,057.30 and the theater took $9,881.70.  That means that for running the movie on a big screen, probably five times a day, for a week, the cinema got to keep less than $10,000.  Obviously, most movies don’t make as much money as Guardians of the Galaxy, and most movies aren’t in their first week.  In week twelve, the theater got to keep $1,124.50 for a week’s worth of showing that film on a single screen.

So, theaters clearly aren’t making a killing from movie tickets.  They are also expensive facilities to run.  They have vast air conditioning bills.  They have to be cleaned.  There are constant technology advances like digital projection, 3D, IMAX, and surround sound that require huge investment.  The buildings themselves take up a lot of space, often in high-demand areas, meaning high rent.

Raising tickets prices often isn’t the best solution.  If they raise ticket prices, they might lose customers before they enter the doors and become a captive audience.  They also have competitors that might not raise their ticket prices.  Plus, 70% of the ticket increase will go to the studios, in the prime weeks.

Movie theaters have an 85% profit margin on concessions, but the total average profit margin for a theater is just 4.3%  That shows that high concession profits are essential for a theater’s survival.

Does the President of the United States have a food taster?

No, he doesn’t. 

When the President stops in at a local restaurant during his travels in the US, Secret Service will depend on the fact that his exact stop is unknown to all but a very limited few and the fact that restaurants do not, as a rule, have poisoned food on hand. They might, however, watch as a burger or salad is being made.

When traveling abroad, eating dinners prepared by other-than-cleared chefs, someone from the White House kitchen is in attendance as food is prepared and served. This has been known to cause a little friction with chefs, but the Secret Service doesn’t really give a damn about chefs’ delicate sensibilities and pride.

If the President is dining at Buckingham Palace or the Elysée, then there will be an assumption that an official assassination isn’t in the cards. Secret Service will accept that a country’s own protective service will have vetted and cleared food preparation staffs.

Why can there be fat police officers?

Cop here. I’ll try to answer this as eloquently as a big dumb jackbooted thug possibly can:

First, the why.

  • The job is very, very emotionally stressful, for reasons which would surprise most people. Yeah, the child abuse and dead bodies and all that stuff you see on T.V. sucks, but we’re mostly emotionally prepared for that. What we’re not prepared for is dealing with all of that and the baseless hatred of the people who, so often, serve as our sole motivation for doing the job. Just two nights ago I was squirted in the face with breastmilk by a crackhead, and fought for 5 minutes (an eternity if you’ve been in a fight) with an amphetamine junky who was shaking his penis at kids, all within two hours. I go to get a cup of coffee, and three college kids come up and fuss because their taxpayer dollars are paying for me to get coffee. That hurts, especially because most of us do this job because we want to protect people like that. Certainly not for the money.

  • The money. It sucks. Some departments are exceptional. Mine puts me just a couple grand above the poverty level. This after a Bachelor’s from a pretty good school. Eating well is expensive.

  • Eating well is also hard to do when you work nights. All the healthy places are closed. It takes time to pack a lunch. Earlier this week, I worked 23:00 to 09:00, drive an hour home, slept for 3 hours, drove an hour back for an hour in court, and hour back home, slept for another 2 hours, and went back to work. It’s easier, more cost effective, and sometimes the only option to just run through the drive-thru for some quick calorie-rich food when I’ve finally got a free minute. Also, donuts are freaking delicious and you know it.

  • As hard as it is to find time to pack a proper lunch, or sit down for a healthy dinner with the family, it’s doubly hard to find time for a proper workout. A poor or nonexistent exercise regimen increases stress which, guess what, leads to weight gain.

  • Drinking. Lots of my brothers and sisters, way too many in my opinion, turn to the bottle to cope. Lots of high-functioning alcoholics. Booze makes you fat.

  • Oh yeah, it’s physically stressful too. All that gear is heavy and uncomfortable. Sitting in a bumpy cramped car for 3 hours, only to jump out and sprint 200 yards and fight for your life, that’s hard on you too. Lack of sleep. Insomnia. Anxiety. Injuries happen, and make exercise more difficult. None of that stuff is good for your overall health.

There’s the why. Now here’s the how.

  • First of all, not to make excuses, but you have to allow for the fact that most of us are wearing body armor, which, let’s just say, isn’t flattering.

  • Also, I think you’ll find that the majority of law enforcement officers are as physically fit, more likely more physically fit, than the average American. There’s these things called stereotypes that we hear about a lot yet, somehow, can never be victims of.

  • Most physically fit officers work nights, and work the rough areas, because that’s where fitness is needed most. Less physically fit officers work days, in the good areas. Hence, the average person who might contribute to the mediasphere is less likely to see those physically fit officers working nights in the bad areas.

  • I’ve already seen unions mentioned. Good lord, not all law enforcement agencies are unionized. In my state, most aren’t. The closest thing we’ve got is the FOP, and collective bargaining isn’t what it’s all about. For those departments that are unionized, they do quite a lot to keep the administrators from tightening physical fitness standards, or mandating physical fitness tests. And yes, they make it difficult to terminate officers who have become more of a liability than an asset.

  • And they are indeed a liability. How can someone be a good police officer and be fat? Well, they can’t. Their more physically fit buddies will have to bail them out every time they get in a fight, or a foot chase. They get lazy, and everyone else has to pick up the slack. They slack off, take shortcuts, and make the rest of us look bad.

All of that being said, there’s thankfully a changing culture in law enforcement which is beginning to recognize the importance of overall health – physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Big muscles help, sure, but those muscles need feeding, and after standing in the cold rain for 10 hours, they’ll start eating your brain. Overall health is where it’s at. More departments are implementing minimum physical fitness standards for hiring (my state has had minimum initial hiring standards for going on 30 years) and mandating physical fitness tests on a yearly basis. Focus is tending towards seeing the body and mind as a whole, as the most important piece of equipment an officer has. I hope that, in ten years or so, not only will you see a more physically fit law enforcement community, but a happier one, too.

A girl will be on a cruise ship or on tour package. Slavers will pay a good looking, smooth talking, polite, clean cut guy to basically be what is termed a “barker” or a “steer”.

They’ll pick out a set of girls, and they’ll work them. Find out how trusting, how naive, how street smart, how connected they are, how much money they’re worth, what is their families financial situations, how eager is this person to please someone else(ie easy to acquiesce).

Out of that pool of girls, they may pick one. They may wait.

If they pick one, they’ll work that girl, and try to seduce her or at least get her where they can talk alone and offer her a drink- they need to do this in the day or days leading up to a port of call. They’ll spike a drink with midazolam or another benzodiazapine or sedative- barbiturates are still commonly available offshore- so sometimes they’ll use those.

Another guy will come in here, he’s also on the boat. He’s someone in either security, maintenance, or planning. He takes the girl, who will be closed to passed out or even passed out. He gets her off ship and hands her off to slaver’s enforcer. The enforcer decides if he wants to buy her- based on her looks, based on the information the steer picked up, etc. The more easy to make her disappear and if she is good looking- they’ll pay anywhere from $400 for a girl all the way to $10,000. It gets split between the steer and the inside man.

If she is too high risk(has money, connections, something worries the enforcer)- they’ll give her back to the inside man and the inside man will kill her and get rid of her body. Some operations, it is expected that if the enforcer rejects a girl, he helps in getting rid of her. In addition to being a serial killer, Joran Vander Sloot was basically alternating between being a steer and being the “inside” guy- the hand off guy. I’m just giving you a frame of reference example.

From there, the enforcer is going to take a girl out in the country or to somewhere in a ghetto/shantytown/favilla. The girl will be threatened, she will be beaten, yelled at, and she will be raped. This is referred to as training. Other men, multiple men will rape her. This is her training.

She will then be given or forcibly administered sedatives, opiates, and either amphetamines or cocaine.

The boss of the operation will pick her up from the enforcer, and he will take her, get her clothes, and treat her better than the enforcer. He will reiterate what the enforcer has been telling her: if you run, you’ll be gang raped, tortured, and we’ll kill your family, and then finally we’ll kill you after the worst things that can happen to a person happen to you.

The boss- the pimp- will get a makeover, and he’ll alternate between being the good cop and the bad cop. He’ll take her to a club, he’ll party with her.

And then, he will take her and the other girls he owns with a chaperone(a less threatening enforcer) and the enforcer from before. They’ll hit casinos, hotels, bars, night clubs. They’ll take them out in vans even, and then when the girl is through with a trick she calls her chaperone and they’ll come get her. She’ll work all through the night. She gets nothing but food, drugs, and shelter. If she complains, talks to the wrong person, etc- she will be beaten, tortured, threatened, maybe “retrained”.

If she is difficult, if she gets an obvious STD that is expensive or difficult to treat, if she isn’t submissive to the johns, if she isn’t a money maker- they will sell her to a street pimp. The street pimp doesn’t care about her looks, he’ll beat her to a bloody pulp but she’s going to be bringing in money- be it $5 or $20 or $50. This is even worse because she’s basically got no time left. When a street pimp can’t sell her to another street pimp anymore, she’ll get a hotshot and they’ll dump her body.

If she is a successful girl, she’ll stay with the slaver-pimp, his den mother(usually a girl who snitched on other girls, took to the life and liked it, and was unusually loyal to the slaver pimp), and the chaperone and the enforcer.

They will hit major cities, and they’ll stay for a while. They’ll try those locations mentioned before. If that doesn’t pan out or business is slow in the hotels, clubs, bars- they’ll go to the Internet. Sites like EROS, Backpage, Puntersites, the now dead Escorts.com, the still alive TER, the still alive BigDoggie- they’ll post a couple flattering pictures, a description(vague) of what the girl is willing to do, and a number for the pimp’s chaperone or den mother- one of the two will act as the “booker”.

When they’ve been in one city a while, they leave, and they go on a circuit.

The idiot cops and naive but well meaning people on here referred to unexplained but reliable siting in Frisco.

Well, no shit… A girl will either get sold to a US based operator, or some of the slavers will feel some heat and they’ll head to New York or Florida or California.

They’ll bring the girls, the den mother, the enforcer, and the chaperone. They’ll arrange accommodations in whatever city they land in and they’ll negotiate with other slaver-pimps. They’ll trade and sell girls, some slaver-pimps will intrude on someone’s territory and his whole crew will get wiped out and forcibly disappeared. The girls will be integrated into the dominate slaver-pimp’s stable.

Either way, either with the slaver who first bought her or her new owner, they hit the circuit. They go from city to city and set up shop. They may stay a month or they may stay a week. The ones who stay a month or two will typically hit up the casinos, hotels, bars, clubs, etc, and at the same time, they’re being advertised on Backpage or those other sites. Backpage and Internet advertising is now heavily watched by cops and feds- they want low risk arrests that play well in the media or they want to get the slavers as snitches on CCE/RICO cases that involve drugs/guns and transnational gangs- MS13, Florencia 13, 18th Street, black gangs etc. Most of the time, the government knows full well about the slavery, but they turn a blind eye because a slaver-pimp is connected to so much shit that they are excellent sources of information and they’re great snitches because they have no scruples at all and they’ll sell anyone for anything to protect themselves.

If you don’t believe me about girls working a circuit, go on Backpage and pick out a girl’s number in a major city. Google that number, you’ll see all her backpage ads come up, possibly reviews of her services, other info and places where she’s advertised. Often times you’ll notice that number is associated with numerous girls, and the girls are in all different cities.

Girls who are really good looking and good money makers will hit the Internet escort scene where they can charge $150+ per hour, sometimes up to $400 an hour- and these are girls who advertise on Backpage. If they get sold to a major metro agency or major metro pimp, that pimp is usually connected as a snitch with LE and he’ll take and cater powerful people- prosecutors, governors, politicians, lawyers. A girl in an established upscale metro agency can earn $1000-$5000 an hour for a slaver-pimp.

The girls that tour, will hit the major interstates and they’ll go north-south on each coast and then hit the interstates to go east-west and go north-south in the mid-west and south-west to the major hub cities where prostitution thrives.

Agaiin, along the way, they may die, change hands through violence, or just be sold. Sometimes a girl will get away.

After they make a circuit, they’ll head back to the islands- they’ll work tourist areas and places the cruise ships and travel destination packages. They come back to the United States and do again. They’ll continue on for years, escape sometimes- temporarily or for good, get sold to lower and lower rungs of prostitution, and they’ll either die of poor health or be murdered when they’re no longer bringing in money.

(The disappearance of Amy Bradley was she sold into sex slavery?)

A lot of girls go missing in the US, the Islands, and all over Europe. Those that don’t end up in sexual slavery in those areas, or don’t end up dead- will be sold to high end brothels in Arab countries and in China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore. These girls will usually be sold to one person and they end up dead within 5-10 years. The others will living 1-10 years in sexual slavery and die of suicide, AIDS, or drug related conditions.

The way women are treated in the Middle East and Asia, those girls, I don’t like to think about it.

LE knows this shit goes on, but it isn’t tied heavily to property seizure, so it’s low value for that reason, and slaver-pimps are great snitches, so LE turns a blind eye as long as they get valuable intel. They don’t want to admit it happens, because it makes LE look bad, but if you search enough, you’ll find where they do make the busts- either the pimp had no value or they decided to offer him up to keep up appearances, or he did something so bad and so blatant they could no longer protect him.

It’s girls and women of all ages, children of both sexes are traded in.

The people who can afford to buy and use another human being are people who have money who have power and they protect the secrecy around the business. Slavery in this day in age is just like the mafia was for LE and society pre-Kefauver Committee- “there is no organized crime”.

Then when coyotes were running wild bringing immigrants, there were no immigrant gangs- that was just ignorant racist speculation, up until 18th St, MS-13, F13, their Sureno cousins, and their Norteno farmero rivals became undeniable, and suddenly mid-90’s there was the admission of immigrant gangs.

Going back to the 20’s, every decade up to now, there have been multi-year series of child sexual assaults and murders- Chicago(first in the 40’s and then in the 70’s- Gacy wasn’t entirely lying when he said that all the murders weren’t known and that he wasn’t the principal in all the murders), the Babes in the Wood Murders of Maryland and Pennsylvania, the Atlanta Child Murders, and others.

I believe Wayne Williams was involved in some or most of the Atlanta Child Murders- but I believe he was barker- acting as a “talent scout” as his cover, he was a scout all right- but a scout for sexual predators.

Police know terrible things go on, but if a person can roll over and provide information on some other crime that is less politically damaging- cops will make a deal with the devil and turn a blind eye. The really corrupt cops will see an innocent man like Jeffrey MacDonald spend his life behind bars, so they can continue with graft and not have decades of dirty laundry aired.

I’ve spoken to girls who got out. I was in a position once where I was asked to drive for a girl who was an independent escort- she was a friend of mine, she made no judgement about my lifestyle and I made none about hers- so we were friends. I wanted nothing to do with being a driver(transporter, collection agent, and body guard for an escort). She had been abducted into a ring when she was 17. She got away when her slaver-pimp crossed a group of old school Crip affiliated gangsters. They were into moving dope, not whores, so they told the girls to get lost. She spent 7 years and 8 months as a sexual slave. She became hardened to the life and she kept on as independent escort because it was a business she knew.
