None of that is needed to ask the questions I posed. And even if you want to use those qualifiers this question still stands. Why has no one in the media asked Hillary Clinton why she flew to Haiti to secure the release of convicted child trafficker Laura Silsby?
Good luck getting Media to ask Hillary a tough question. Regardless, a Clinton doing something s my is hardly anything out of the ordinary. It's not evidence of a massive pedo ring in and of itself.
You Pizzagate nutjobs still have no credible accusers or physical evidence to point to. You can keep up with the "Just Asking Questions" routine all you want, but without either of those things, you have nothing.
I suggest you do some research into the psychology of children sexually abused and sold into sex rings before you start demanding they immediately come forward. Some take 50 years to come forward, some never at all. The totality of cir stantial evidence is enough for an honest journalist to at least ask these questions I posed. Hillary is protected by the media as you know, Alefantis is as well due to taking it in the ass from David Brock. The Podesta's same story.
In your estimation, or in any of the estimations of the experts on 4chan and Voat... How many children have likely been abused in this sex ring?
I don't see any "experts" claiming there is a sex ring. I do see lots of "experts" just wanting some honest questions asked of what's been found from those accused.
I'm not "demanding" anything. I'm just not going to believe this story until either credible victims do come forward or there's physical evidence to prove it. The "cir stantial" evidence has proven nothing other than that the Democrat elites in DC are weirdos. But there's a big difference between being weird and being embroiled in a secret pedo ring.
No one is asking anyone to believe anything and everyone seriously looking into this understands it is all just cir stantial. All that is wanted is for those that are being accused be put on the spot and asked some questions about their "weird" pedophilia art/pedophilia comments. If I were innocent and being accused of this the first thing I would do would be to clear my name and be done with it. None of them have attempted to do so.
For the last week, Bas Nation, like the rest of the world, has been watching the devastation of Haiti. The images are frightening, sad, and heartrending, especially those of the children.
We have also watched with alarm the rush to rescue Haitian children by adoption. Within three days of the earthquake, Catholic Charities of Miami had set up a scheme modeled on Operation Pedro Pan, a joint State Department-CIA-Miami Diocese project in the early 1960s to separate children from their parents, creating young pawns in the US war against the Castro government. Although “Operation Pierre Pan” in Haiti is on hold, at least for now, numerous evangelical churches and ministries, adoption agencies, secular organizations, unfinalized adoptive parents and other individuals--many with conflicts of interest--have joined the rescue mission call to remove children immediately, no matter what their family status, to the US for the purpose of adoption.
Haiti is still under rubble. Aid is slow to arrive. Survivors are spread out in shelters and camps, or live in the streets. The dead are unnumbered, unknown, and unnamed. Family members continue to search for each for other, and it will take weeks or even months for final conciliation.
The rush to relocate orphans, quasi-orphans, and potential orphans internationally is ripe for coercion and fraud. Adoption agencies, church agencies, and ministries especially--along with fraudulent and predatory “child welfare” agents--have much to gain from fast removal. The trafficking of Haitian children for sex, servitude, and adoption operated in Haiti before the quake. It certainly operates now. The unethical and possibly unlawful mass transfer of traumatized children, many with family status unknown, to foreign shelters, foster care, and adoption agencies, removed from their culture and language, with little hope of family reunification cannot be allowed or tolerated. We urge US State Department and other US authorities in Haiti to (1) remove private special interests and those with conflicts of interest, such as adoption agencies and ministries, from the child welfare decision-making process and (2) halt the evacuation of children and their placement for adoption in the US.
We also urge the State Department to suspend pending adoptions. Haitian paperwork is lost or destroyed. Rock Cadet, the judge most responsible and knowledgeable about pipeline cases, died in the quake. Though the US Embassy survived, US paperwork is probably unavailable for some time, if it still exists. Without proof of Haitian court or Embassy status, any adoption removal from the country, without thorough background investigation and due process, is illegal and not in the best interest of the child
Needless to say, no new adoptions should be processed.
In the post-quake chaos, children need protection from predatory snatchers. Bas Nation, therefore, supports the expedited removal of Haitian children, orphans or otherwise, to credible and do ented parents or family members in the US for temporary or permanent placement depending on the cir stances. These children must not be assumed adoptable and scooped up for fast-track adoption. They should be a top priority. We urge the State Department or other government or credible private and disinterested agencies to assist Haitians in the US to locate child kin and bring them to the US.
We understand why people want to open their arms and hearts to the children of the Haitian earthquake, but adoption is not emergency or humanitarian aid or a solution to Haiti’s ongoing problems. The immediate rescue effort in Haiti should focus on emergency services, individual and family care and family reunification, not family, community, and cultural destruction and the strip-mining of children.

Kids not in an adoption process being exported, bullies and bribes & the Rendells’ RaidThere have been a number of child export flights out at this point, some private or donated, others on American military flights returning after dropping off supplies.
The Dutch and Americans were among some of the earliest countries extracting kids, both of which have taken kids living in the so called “orphanages” (see my earlier posts for a discussion of what “orphanages” mean in the Haitian context) that were not in adoption processes at the time.
Here’s an AP story on the flight chartered by the Dutch Government. Some of the kids both finalized and non-finalized on the Dutch flight went to Luxembourg.
United Adoptees International has more on the Dutch story here Dutch Government accept bribes to get Haitian Children.
Further down in our main article we learn, emphasis mine:
Nine of the children, who arrived in the Netherlands, were sent to foster homes because the rushed airlift meant that children had not yet been matched to parents.Which means we’re talking about nine kids who were not in any adoption process prior to getting on the plane from Haiti. They were residents at orphanages, but there are a number of explanations for such, as I’ve been saying all along. Take this from the United States Department of State (by way of Ethica), again, emphasis mine:
In addition, some children who had been residing in orphanages before the earthquake were placed there temporarily by parents who could not care for them. In most of these cases the parents did not intend to permanently give up their parental rights. Even when it can be demonstrated that children have indeed lost their parents or have been abandoned, reunification with other relatives in the extended family should be the first option.Against Child Trafficking expands beyond that, discussing both the pre-existing corruption in the Haitian system and what adoption means in cultural context to the Haitian people, emphasis mine:
Neal’s position is taken a step further by Roelie Post, of Against Child Trafficking, an NGO based in Brussels opposed to international adoption.The differing cultural and legal understandings of the word “adoption” has been something I’ve pointed out before. To people in many parts of the rest of the world placing a child in an orphanage, or even saying the kid will be placed for adoption does not mean a state reassigned iden y, a reissued birth certificate erasing the names of one’s blood relations and replacing such with one’s new adopter’s name in a re-writing of history. For people in many parts of the world, adoption means the familial history remains intact, that the child is still part of the parents lives, and that everything that came before is not cut off from both the child and the family of origin.
She said a report by Unicef in 2005 found the Haitian adoption system to be “untransparent”.”The issue at stake is that Haiti has for a long time been known as a country with not a good adoption procedure,” Post said.
“Orphanages are clearing houses in Haiti. As soon as the children enter the home, they are signed up to an international adoption agency. This means that the parents, if they are alive and they want them back, cannot get them back.”
Post said there was a different understanding in Haiti of what adoption really means.
“In the Western world you get a new birth certificate, with the names of the adoptive parents. There’s no legal link with the [biological] family,” she said.
“The system in Haiti is more like foster care and the family link remains. And the people in Haiti in do not know what international adoption really means.”
Parents believe they will still be able to be reunited with their children, Post said.
Even in gaining a Haitian parent’s “consent to adoption” it remains highly questionable whether or not they have been genuinely informed to the full legal ramifications of what that can mean: removing the child from the country, rewriting their history, and potentially never seeing their blood relations again.
Words such as “orphanage” and “orphan” must always be questioned in the Haitian context:
The Haitian government has had reason to be cautious; there are about 200 orphanages in Haiti, but United Nations officials say not all are legitimate. Some are fronts for traffickers who buy children from their parents and sell them to couples in other countries. “In orphanages in Haiti there are an awful lot of children who are not orphans,” said Christopher de Bono, a Unicef spokesman.This important article from United Adoptees International describes how the 109 Haitian kids taken to the Netherlands have been divided into three categories, resulting in 53 of the kids having left the country without any form of Haitian finalization. Of the kids who went to Luxembourg, some of them are considered “category 2″ or not finalized by Haitian authorities as well.
Under this classification America has kids from all three groups as well, despite the government’s statements saying no class 3, or completely unmatched kids would be accepted.
Other kids are being taken across the relatively open border to the Dominican Republic with promises of returning them to Haiti and reuniting “some” of them with family later.
On the American end, after the Department of Homeland Security announced the Humanitarian Parole policy, the flights began almost immediately.
Extending Humanitarian Parole status like this is completely unprecedented in inter-country adoptions, we’re off the edge of any map.
Once that status had been conferred, someone had to test the limits of the policy. While the American government was insisting that only kids already in an adoption process would be accepted, many questioned what would happen if a child not in process landed on American soil. Would they be sent back? Or would they be kept and slid into the American adoption process?
Enter Ed Rendell and a cast of cronies.
I’m not going to do full coverage on this story, as it’s simply too large and won’t fit within the scope of what I’m trying to accomplish here. Instead I’ll provide merely an overview and encourage readers to do some research on their own.
Bear in mind that all of this was taking place against the backdrop of a political context of heavy lobbying to let the Haitian kids in and to expedite the adoptions. Take the Jan. 19th letter to Secretary of State Clinton (link opens a PDF) and the letter from the 20th (link opens a PDF) by way of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Ins ute as just two tangible examples.
The ‘Rendell Raid’ taking place over the 18th and 19th was the first flight bringing the Haitian children to the United States, the test case.
In, a heavily publicized set of flights Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell headed off to Haiti to extract kids from the BRESMA “orphanage” in a privately donated plane .
The airport of course, has been non-stop and so to up the chances of actually getting in country, pure political clout was used to muscle their way into the queue, making other planes loaded with humanitarian relief supplies wait in the pattern.
Mr. Rendell and Representative Jason Altmire flew Monday to Haiti on a chartered plane carrying medical supplies and 20 doctors and nurses. The plan was to drop off the supplies and pick up children from an orphanage run by two sisters, Jamie and Alison McMutrie from a Pittsburgh suburb, Ben Avon, Pa..There are various versions of what happened once they landed on the ground here’s the one published on the 19th in the NYT (emphasis added
Having lobbied the White House for several days, the Pennsylvania delegation had obtained United States visas for the children and had expected to be on the ground one hour.Where do I even begin? The White House was pressuring Haitian officials despite the American policy to supposedly only bring back kids already “in-process” at the very moment Haiti is in the position of in some ways Governing without Government:
But Haitian officials would let only 28 of the 54 orphans the sisters had brought to the airport to leave; the rest had not cleared all the hurdles for adoption. Seven had yet to be matched with adoptive parents, the Haitians said.
Then the sisters dug in their heels. “They just said no, they wouldn’t leave without all of them,” Mr. Altmire said.
For five hours, the delegation worked furiously to get the Haitian government to agree to let all the children go. The governor’s wife, Judge Marjorie O. Rendell of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, went to Port-au-Prince to meet with American diplomats. Mr. Rendell and Mr. Altmire lobbied the White House, which pressured Haitian officials.
The chartered plane was forced to return to Miami before a deal was reached, Mr. Rendell said, but the delegation stayed in Haiti. But at 11 p.m., the Haitian officials relented and the children were evacuated on a United States military cargo plane to Orlando, Fla., where they transferred to the jet to Pennsylvania. One child was found to be missing at the last minute in Haiti, and Jamie McMutrie stayed behind to find her. They were expected to arrive here Wednesday.
However, Haitian lawyer and activist Ezili Danto said after the January 12 earthquake, “The palace collapsed, the police headquarters collapsed, the parliamentary building collapsed with legislators inside it. No one knows how many policemen, municipal workers, legislators were there, how many escaped, who is injured”. Many ministers are still missing but the president and prime minister are alive.Meanwhile, Gov. Rendell, the “orphanage” workers, and their cast of characters were so busy ‘caring for the orphans’ that apparently they couldn’t even count to 54. (The missing 54th child was later retrieved by Jamie McMutrie from the U.S. Embassy, where she had be left behind.)
The last of the orphans arrived in Pittsburgh Wednesday morning with her caretaker, Ben Avon native Jamie McMutrie.Now, here’s the crucial piece, this flight back to the States is the first flight with kids being exported from Haiti, it’s the test case, and it’s transporting 7 kids who are not in any way shape or form already in an adoption process.
Two-year-old Emma had gone missing Monday just as a group of Pennsylvania officials and medical personnel were leaving the earthquake-ravaged country with the orphans and the two Ben Avon sisters who had been caring for them and arranging their adoptions.
Emma was found shortly after the jet left with the remaining orphans and McMutrie’s sister, Alison. Jamie got off the flight to look for Emma. She was found at the U.S. Embassy. Jamie and Emma left Port-au-Prince for Miami late Tuesday.
The private plane leaves (convenient that, it certainly sidestepped several potential liability issues there) and the group ends up hitching a ride on a U.S. military transport plane.
Which is to say the U.S. Military ended up doing the actual exporting of the kids.
See photos of the kids on the Military plane here.
Once the group was on the ground in Florida, they rejoined their donated plane and flew on to Pennsylvania.
Here’s Governor Rendell bragging about the raid in his version of the flight.
It’s not as if Rendell didn’t know he was exporting kids not in process, in this CNN piece, Gov. Rendell himself admits 7 of the kids were not in process, but American adoptive parents will be sought (now that they’re here.) emphasis added:
According to Rendell, adoption cases are under way for 47 of the children. Of these, 40 will be U.S. adoptions, four children will go to Spain and three to Canada. Adoptive parents will be sought for the remaining seven children.Here, in the NYT piece we also see the Haitian intent, they are not only fighting that the 7 not in process remain, but the 19 others who were supposedly “in-process” (for all that’s worth) but not finalized by the Haitian Government. Once again emphasis added is mine:
But Haitian officials would let only 28 of the 54 orphans the sisters had brought to the airport to leave; the rest had not cleared all the hurdles for adoption. Seven had yet to be matched with adoptive parents, the Haitians said.http://www.babylovechild.org/2010/01...t-kids-part-4/
Associated Press coverage Anderson Cooper coverage Abstract:
Contrary to reports in the media, the crowd sourced investigation labeled by some as "Pizzagate" did not begin with internet sleuths digging through the Wikileaks Podesta Files releases looking for pizza parlors and encoded language discussing human trafficking. It began with the shocking discovery that Hillary and Bill Clinton provided assistance to convicted child trafficker, Laura Silsby, resulting in a reduced sentence for child trafficking.
Silsby was arrested at the Haitian border attempting to smuggle 33 children out of Haiti without do entation. Her sentence and charges were reduced after an intervention by Bill Clinton. In the aftermath of Silsby's arrest, her originally retained lawyer Jorge Puello was arrested in connection with an international smuggling ring accused of trafficking women and minors from Central America and Haiti. The revelation of this news in November was either ignored by the Western media or attacked by Clinton controlled publications.
I. Hillary Clinton Intervened Politically on Behalf of Laura Silsby
Laura Silsby is the former director of The New Life Children’s Refuge. Emails from her organization can be found in Wikileaks’ Hillary Clinton Email Archive discussing the NGO before her arrest. Silsby’s organization also appears in Clinton’s emails, soliciting donations for their “ministry.” The Refuge was founded by Silsby and Charisa Coulter, both attendees of the Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho. Silsby was reported to have a history of bad debts and unpaid wages.
Laura had claimed she planned to build an orphanage in the Dominican Republic, but a State Department diplomatic cable revealed that authorities in the country said she never submitted an application for this purpose. They instead located to Haiti.
On January 29, 2010, Silsby was arrested with nine other American nationals attempting to steal 33 children from the country, most of whom were not even orphans and had families according to some reports. CNN reported on February 9, 2010 that this was not the first time Silsby had attempted to traffic children out of Haiti. Haitian police acting on a tip had intercepted Silsby in an earlier, separate attempt to remove 40 children out of the country. She was turned back at the Haitian border. For a brief period, Haitian authorities were considering adding a new kidnapping charge based on this evidence.
Hillary and Bill Clinton took an extraordinary interest in Silsby’s case from the moment she was arrested and almost immediately stepped in on her behalf. The Harvard Human Rights Journal stated that one of Bill Clinton's first acts as special envoy for the United Nations in Haiti "was to put out the fire of a child abduction scandal involving American citizens." On February 7th, 2010, The Sunday Times reported that Bill Clinton had intervened to strike a deal with the Haitian government, securing the release of all co-conspirators except for Silsby. Prosecutors ultimately sought a six-month sentence in Silsby's case, reducing charges for conspiracy and child abduction to mere "arranging irregular travel." A shockingly light penalty given the cir stances of her arrest, which would likely not have been possible but for the intervention of the Clintons in Silsby's case.
On February 9th, 2010 Hillary Clinton consulted with Counselor Cheryl Mills and other attorneys in an email discussing the U.S. Government's "options" regarding the arrested Americans. The heavily redacted memo attached to that email does not reveal what these "options" consisted of. However, the State Department's American Citizens Services is only authorized to offer lists of local, English speaking attorneys to Americans arrested or detained abroad. To go beyond that authorization is a severe violation of protocol and is illegal. Additional emails reveal that the State Department was concerning with making statements on the Silsby scandal and preparing to assist Silsby's co-conspirators with their return to the United States, although this is consistent with State Department protocol in these situations.
II. Silsby's Lawyer and His Wife Were Both Arrested For Involvement in Human Sex Trafficking of Minors and Women
On February 11th, the New York Times reported that Silsby's original lawyer, Jorge Puello, was suspected of leading an international human trafficking ring involving women and minors. According the the Harvard Human Rights Journal Puello was ultimately arrested in an investigation being lead by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in connection with the ring. He was wanted in the United States, El Salvador and Costa Rica for his involvement with a network trafficking Central Americans and Haitians.
At the time of his arrest, his wife was already imprisoned in El Salvador and “faced charges of presumed sexual exploitation of minors and women.” Puello was ultimately sentenced to three years in federal prison for "alien smuggling." Another surprisingly light sentence given the original charges he was sought for. It it not known at this time whether or not Laura Silsby was associated with Puello's criminal enterprise.
III. The Daily Beast Engaged in an Illicit Cover Up Operation of the Above Information
On November 3rd, 2016, this author made a post to Reddit containing preliminary research and information on the above story. The post was made to the pro-Trump subreddit r/the_donald due to the forum's reputation as the only outlet on Reddit where news was not being censored during the U.S. Presidential Election. The same day, Wikileaks tweeted a link to the Reddit post labeling it as a "significant, if partisan, find."
On November 4th, 2016 The Daily Beast wrote a non-factual and intentionally misleading article covering the Clinton-Silsby scandal. They accused Wikileaks of publicizing a "Reddit conspiracy theory" which was "riddled with incorrect information." The author, Ben Collins neglected to do basic research on the totality of the links presented in the post as evidence. Mr. Collins attacked the policies of r/the_donald towards freedom of speech and accused the forum of being racist without citing extensive or definitive proof. At no point did The Daily Beast provide proof that the allegations were not true, and did not disprove any of the evidence submitted. A link to an extensive study of the case by the Harvard Human Rights Journal which clearly linked Bill Clinton to the scandal was totally ignored. They similarly failed to acknowledge or address emails published by Wikileaks between Hillary Clinton and her legal counsel which may potentially indicate that she violated State Department policy for the treatment of U.S. citizens arrested or detained abroad.
The Daily Beast is a holding of American media conglomerate InterActiveCorp. Chelsea Clinton, Vice President of the Clinton Foundation and daughter of Hillary and Bill Clinton, sits on InterActiveCorp's Board of Directors. The proximity of the Clinton family to the organization responsible for oversight and direction of The Daily Beast raises questions about the publication's journalistic independence and their commitment to factual and ethical reporting on current events and topics of public interest. Given their slanderous and incorrect reporting on the Clinton-Silsby scandal, it seems clear that they do not hold these values in high regard.
Since her release from detention in Haiti, Laura Silsby has returned to Idaho. In 2015, she married and took the last name Gayler. Silsby is currently employed by software company AlertSense as their Vice President of Marketing. AlertSense works with the Federal Government on FEMA's Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS). One of IPAWS functions is to issue Amber Alerts during kidnapping events. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-0...ignorecover-it
still no evidence for pizzagate
define "pizzagate"
the "theory" that there is a child sex ring being held at a pizzaria owned by alefantis (or besta pizza, whichever floats ur boat), with the knowledge and even endorsement of democrat elites such as the podesta brothers or even up to shillary herself... this all being exposed by "code words" in wikileaks releases of podesta emails
Here's a little refresher on how this all started. https://mobile.twitter.com/wikileaks...47777756860417 Significant, if partisan, find showing how the Clintons supported child stealer Laura Silsby reddit.com/r/The_Donald/c… pic.twitter.com/NCgsVWTF2W 11:40 AM - 3 Nov 2016
There was direct evidence that Hillary Clinton personally went to Haiti to secure the release of convicted child trafficker Laura Silsby yet the mainstream media went silent. Why do you think this happened?
We've found 4 convicted kid ers connected to this place. How many kid ers do you know? I don't know any. How many kid ers will it take for you to say you know what guys you might be on to something here 10,15,20?
Page 39 of this thread and you're resorting to this card now. Just admit that you fell for a 4chan troll job and stop trying so hard to pretend it's real.
As you'll recall the traffic cam's view was moved away from Comet Ping Pong Pizza a day before the gunman Edgar Welch came in to "investigate". The DC Metro Police also let the Feds take over the case, even though it didn't occur on Federal property. I said after it happened the whole event just seemed fishy, well it's getting fishier. I'm really curious to see what type of plea deal is given to a guy who comes in points a gun at someone, and then fires a round into the floor.
U.S. prosecutors offer unspecified plea deal in Comet Ping Pong pizza case
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...s-draw6&wpmm=1
DC dropped the charges - unprecedented on non-federal property;
Welch conducted and interview with the NYT via VTC pre-arraignment - unprecedented as confirmed via MPDC contacts;
Prior video shows repeated FOIA requests and related communications confirm that no investigation was ever conducted;
There is ZERO listing of Welch being in the Federal court system. The judge mentioned in the article has no Welch on his caseload. Similarly, all search combinations of Welch's name produce nothing:

Laura Silsby
The fact that she left on this mission $400K in debt http://www.reformtalk.net/2011/05/24...omplex-updated. The amount she could raise from the 100 children in the plan would eliminate this debt as Haitian children sell for $10,000 apiece.They were stopped with the 33 kids after first being caught and warned that their actions were illegal when trying to transport 40 kids (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Life_Children%27s_Refuge_case)).
The fact that she had not even set up the orphanage (let alone submitted the required paperwork) https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/...d_a_convicted/ when she kidnapped the 33 kids, including statements from the parents that she took them under false pretenses for safe housing, rather than rescuing orphans from collapsed orphanages. Also, and I have not seen this highlighted as a key point anywhere, Silsby and her "nanny" where in Haiti PRIOR to the earthquake (see: https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/3465)), which obviously conflicts with this story of rescuing those devastated by the earthquake. Or maybe they had special predictive powers.
It is being reported that she (Coulter) was in Haiti before with Silsby: (From AFP: Judge Bernard Saint-vil, who is handling the case, allowed them to leave the country without bail, according to their lawyer Aviol Fleurant. But Saint-vil wants to question two other missionaries -- group leader Laura Silsby and her confidante Charisa Coulter -- "because they were in Haiti before the earthquake," Fleurant added.)
- The Wikileaks emails showing high concern by Hillary's State Department with Silsby's release https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/3465 (note they refer to her as "Laura" in the thread, indicating a personal relationship with her). This Harvard research publication provides much of the relevant details: http://harvardhrj.com/wp-content/upl...09/09/King.pdf
- The important fact that she now sits on the Executive Team (https://www.alertsense.com/company/executive-team/)) at Alert Sense (new name is Laura ), the organization that issues Amber Alerts. This makes her a convenient warning system, or even blocker, of Amber Alerts that involve the children that their pedo network traffics.
