The US 2004 Trafficking in Persons Report, rolled out on June 14, 2004, omits reference to what may be the most contributive factor of current worldwide human trafficking: rampant abduction and modern-day slavery is going unchecked in the US and, not only are US authorities refusing to take effective action against it, evidence is emerging of overt cover-up on the part of these authorities. What is being done or not being done by the US government against this heinous crime, as it is being carried out in the US, helps drive what is happening throughout the world. Fighting this epidemic will require involvement of a significant percentage of individual citizens everywhere, if only to push authorities to take effective action and for other necessary changes.
(PRWEB) June 24, 2004 -- The US 2004 Trafficking in Persons Report released on June 14, 2004, omits reference to what may be the most contributive factor in the current worldwide human trafficking epidemic: rampant abduction and modern-day slavery is going unchecked in the US and, not only are US authorities refusing to take effective action against it, evidence is emerging of overt cover-up on the part of these authorities. (See "Government reform needed to fight US modern-day slavery," www.prweb.com/releases/Apr%20/0/prweb122283.htm and "Iraq type atrocities are happening in US," www.emediawire.com/releases/2004/5/emw125900.htm, containing what may apply to what is happening and needed in other parts of the world, as well.)
What is being done or not being done by the US government against this heinous crime, as it is being carried out in the US, helps drive what is happening throughout the world. One reason is that the US is reportedly a prime destination for victims from other parts of the world, so a major factor in demand for victims. Another is that the defense network that US related corruption is so efficiently, extensively and pervasively building in the US, and/or funding with activities initiated in the US, is capable of, and is most probably, spreading throughout the world.
As relayed in accounts of many who have done so, identifying where corruption is occurring and change is needed, and how perpetrators are abusing and circumventing law enforcement and the legal system to support their activities and obstruct justice, is as easy as walking through the actual experiences of someone trying to get authorities to act on a particular suspected slavery situation.
Fighting this epidemic crime will require involvement of a significant percentage of individual citizens everywhere, if only to push authorities to take effective action and for other necessary changes. A web site set up by the US government in March 2004 talks about such a need, although that government effort already appears to be merely just another facade for inactivity: The Campaign to Rescue & Restore Victims of Human Trafficking, www.acf.hhs.gov/trafficking/.
