One of my favorite TV shows is Persons of Interest on
CBS. It is a series about a computer
program that is constantly spying on us, so it really plays into the concern
that many people have with the surveillance state. Of course the program was installed for a
good reason, to track down terrorists and prevent them from carrying out
attacks, but since the program tracks everyone it could also be used to prevent
murder and crimes on a smaller scale, but that was outside the scope of the
governments interest so the programs designer created a backdoor to give him
access to the more personal crimes so he could do something about them. He gets a former military/government operative
to help him do the heavy lifting and BAM you have a really intense and engaging
story.
Well, rather than science fiction, I think people will look
back on this series as a thriller, but also as a historical fiction. There are real life programs that our
government uses to track terrorists, but also other criminals. One of them is dedicated to tracking the slave
trade, particularly child sex trafficking.
Our government has been using it for about eight years, but only to help
children within its scope. Basically
they see were child pornography is being shared in real time using this
software, and they can see every case around the globe, but unless it is
related to a child abducted in the US, or a US citizen abducted abroad they don’t
or perhaps can’t take action.
Fortunately the makers of this software have made it available
to some private citizens including former Navy Seals and CIA operatives that
are able to make use of this program outside the scope our government has
defined. These private groups have acted
in the shadows, but they aren't nearly as secretive as Harold and Reese from
the CBS series, and now they are starting to go public with their efforts via Glenn
Beck on the Blaze network and a documentary that is in the works from
producer Gerald Molen called “The
Abolitionists.” They are actually
rescuing children that have been sold as sex slaves and anyone can help in the
effort as part of a new Underground
Railroad.
Now this blog is called Delaware Politics and this article
doesn’t really have a whole lot to do with Delaware, or politics. Except that when you look at the map of this
program that tracks child rape videos that are being shared, it looks like
there is a fair amount of activity happening in Delaware. Now maybe none of those people in Delaware have
child sex slaves of their own to rape, then
again maybe some do, but that is beside the point. The people watching this trash in Delaware are
helping to fuel child sex slavery wherever it is happening around the
world. Many of these people seem very
normal, not menacing or blatantly evil.
However, whether they are the ones online watching real slaves be abused
from thousands of miles away, or they are the ones selling, or abusing the children
directly they have all made one choice in common. They have decided that something is more important
to them than the freedom, innocence, and virtue of a child.
We each make choices. Do your unbridled appetites fuel slavery? Do they enslave you? Or do your bridled passions help abolish
slavery? Are you a slave, a slaver, or
an abolitionist, or do you find yourself wavering between the three? Tonight I decided to help, in a small way, to
build Operation Underground
Railroad. I hope it is never a
relative or a child I know that is on the receiving end of this project, but at
least I will know it is here if they need it.
