Missionary Position

Somebody is getting screwed.

10 American missionaries are alleged to have tried to kidnap 33 Haitian children after the earthquake. They claimed they were orphans, which turned out that most weren't, and that they were trying to help...you know...help...like they helped themselves to Indian children in the boarding schools; like they helped themselves to so many children around the world.

They say they weren't trying to traffic in children...RIIIIIIGGGHHHHTTT!

Question: How much did Angelina Jolie and Madonna pay for their kids? I'm sure it was a whole lot more that $20. I'm sure there is a whole lot to be made in trafficking children...for all kinds of uses. Some could be and are slaves. Some could be and are sex toys. Some could make child purchasers such as Angelina and Madonna look like real humanitarians.

Many of the Haitians have mixed feelings about this. The poverty in Haiti is so bad that they are willing to give up their children for missionaries to sell overseas. Oh, the money to be made. The slaves, sex and otherwise, to be had. Oh, how good those wealthy folk will look with the new Haitian baby they purchased. How humanitarian they will look without having to put forth any of the real effort to...say...destroy the U.S. and other nations lead poverty FORCED upon the nation of Haiti. Too much work. Easier to purchase a kid.

This is not just an issue of 10 American missionaries kidnapping children to sell to folk with lots of money like Angelina Jolie and Madonna. This has been a centuries long ongoing problem. Very complicated. The forced poverty in Haiti makes the situation ripe for abuse. Why is there forced poverty in Haiti and how can it be stopped? What about all the other children kidnapped, enslaved, raped, murdered, beaten, and tortured by many missionaries all around the world?

No doubt many christian types are praising said child traffickers. Maybe even calling them humanitarians looking to help those poor children. Not me. I'm sure they were in it for the money. They didn't steal Indian children to be nice to them. They enslaved them. Raped them. Killed them. Tortured them. Imprisoned them. Why should I believe anything has changed?

It is a crime of opportunity. And there are lots of folk out there looking to purchase themselves a child for many different reasons.

Why not get foreign interventions to stop enforcing poverty upon the nation of Haiti because black folk want their sovereignty? Not as easy as buying a baby, yet far more humanitarian.
