As a result of “Operation Reclaim & Rebuild,” 547 suspects were arrested across California on various criminal charges, LAPD stated, with 333 of them described as “exploiters.” 

A total of 166 adults were identified as trafficking victims, with a further 11 minors rescued from possible exploiters, bringing the total number of recovered victims to 177.

Where are all the victims?

333 “Exploiters” that held 177 victims in “Sexual Slavery”… so where are all the victims? There is enough of a “market” that 177 “Sex slaves” can support 333 “Exploiters” by offering services to…how many thousands of customers would it take to make this financially viable?

According to official Unquestionable State Lies, the Customers would all have to be relentless, fearless, heartless, Predators that have spent, and will continue to spend, their whole life in an endless search for their next child victim…

So where are all their victims?

We had thousands of “Predator customers” in LA, and not one child snatched? How long have these operations been going on, and how many “Invisible blood libels” does that produce?

All several thousands of the Customers “Got away with” the dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of “Snatchings” the official State lies say these “Obsessive Predators would be driven to”? How is that possible? How is it possible that the tens of thousands of “Predator Customers” these “Exploiters” force their “Sex slaves” to provide services to never get caught for the thousands of Snatchings the Official Unquestionable State Lies insist must occur in LA ever single year?

Perhaps these “Relentless sexual predators” commit no crime other than availing themselves of the services of people that became sex workers for reasons unknown to them? How can that, and the Official Unquestionable State Lies both be true?

If there’s all these “Predators” constantly roaming the streets of LA, where are all the child victims?

“primarily focused on rescuing victims of sexual slavery and human trafficking, apprehending their captors and disrupting the demand for vulnerable individuals”

A total of 166 adults were identified as trafficking victims”

Apparently “The Los Angeles Police Department teamed up with the L.A. County Sheriff Department’s Regional Human Trafficking Task Force and over 100 other law enforcement agencies and victim advocacy groups” are all still clueless that the registry exists and all those who run it continue to traffic PFR and commit conspiracy against rights for those on it and their families!

Why do they name these operations such stupid names. Just call them “ Let’s pretend we are protecting people #1, #2, #3” and so on .

I’m not buying the arguments here. Few kids are dramatically-snatched. From what I understand, most are runaways/drug addicts who predictably find themselves either groomed or coerced into becoming human blow up dolls.

I couldn’t imagine a group more prone to exploitation, especially the minors. Yes, maybe some prefer to stay on the streets than live with a dysfunctional, and/or abusive family, or maybe they think they like the lifestyle, but their self-esteem is obviously so shot that their priorities aren’t straight.

The biggest problem is definition. Define what is human Trafficking? If the oldest profession of prostitution is at work via two consulting adults, pay to play. Believe it or not that is considered human or sex trafficking!

I consider placing citizens on a registry as a form of human trafficking.
