(Humans are Free) The United States is again ranked as one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking. According to a recently released report by the State Department, the top three nations of origin for victims of human trafficking in 2018 were the United States, Mexico and the Philippines.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered the Trafficking in Persons report, which is created annually by the State Department to document human trafficking in the year prior, and highlighted the growing focus that government agencies and nonprofit organizations have dedicated to stopping human trafficking.
The Department of Justice provided more than $31 million for 45 victim service providers that offered services to trafficking survivors across the country. It was a demonstrable increase; the DOJ only provided $16 million to 18 organizations in 2017, according to the report.

Over the last two months, Fox News has investigated human trafficking.
If there’s one takeaway from our reporting, it’s that the industry is fueled by an unceasing demand.
“We have a major issue here in the United States” Geoff Rogers, co-founder of the United States Institute Against Human Trafficking (USIAHT), said in an interview with Fox News. “The United States is the No. 1 consumer of sex worldwide. So we are driving the demand as a society.”
“We’re also driving the demand with our own people, with our own kids,” Rogers said. “So there are tremendous numbers of kids, a multitude of kids that are being sold as sex slaves today in America. These are American kids, American-born, 50 percent to 60 percent of them coming out of the foster care industry.”
This assertion is confirmed by the State Department’s report, which found that children in foster care, homeless youth, undocumented immigrant children and those with substance abuse problems were especially at risk to fall into the human trafficking trap.

Rogers says that because the demand is so great in the U.S., traffickers are filling that demand with an increased supply of forced sex workers.
“So the demand here in the United States is a global one,” he said. “We do have men traveling the globe to go to places like Thailand and other places in East Asia to purchase sex with kids. But, in fact, the demand is so great that the supply has needed to be filled here in the United States.”
“Because of the demand, then these traffickers are filling that demand with supply. And the demand is so great here in the United States that they’re filling the supply with our very own kids,” Rogers continued.
According to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report, over 300,000 of America’s young population is considered at risk for sexual exploitation. It’s also estimated that 199,000 incidents occur within the U.S. each year.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
Human trafficking is a blanket term referring to any illicit activity involving the illegal transportation and exploitation of human beings, often referring to pedophilia, sex trafficking, organ harvesting, and kidnapping. The preceding information discusses some aspect of this deplorable practice. This information is important to understand because it is partially supported by the ignorance of the people, which once dispelled, the now awake people can rally authorities to carry out their lawful duty. This information also alerts the public to breach of trust and duty on the part of law enforcement institutions that already have a legal mandate to enforce anti-human trafficking laws, but refuse to, ostensibly to support business surround the illegal activity. With this knowledge in hand, one can dispel the false reality pushed by the Deep State and participate in grassroots efforts to hold authorities accountable for failures to enforce.
