Jeffrey Epstein / trafficking discussion thread

Logic is irrefutable.
However, what someone thinks is logical, is completely refutable.

"To the Left / Media trying to slow down the release of Sound Of Freedom, the movie created to expose human trafficking."

The LEFT had nothing to do with it. 
Disney had an issue with THIS guy who the movie was ABOUT:

Sexual misconduct allegations and resignation
Ballard parted with O.U.R. in 2023.[33] At the time, Vice reported: "An anonymous letter sent to employees of and donors to the anti-trafficking group Operation Underground Railroad asserts that founder Tim Ballard left the organization recently after an internal investigation into claims made against him by multiple employees".[34] Vice later reported that his departure had followed allegations of sexual misconduct.[35] The contents of the anonymous letter were published in full on September 17; it alleged a pattern of grooming and manipulation of women affiliated with the organization.[35][36][37]

In the same week that the allegations were made public, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints publicly denounced Ballard, stating that he had used the name of church leader M. Russell Ballard (no relation) for personal gain, and called his conduct "morally unacceptable".[38] The governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, called the sexual misconduct allegations "disturbing" and "unconscionable" if true.[39] Ballard denied the accusations, saying that "they are baseless inventions designed to destroy me and the movement we have built to end the trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable children."[40]

On September 28, several former employees and former contractors released a statement through attorney Suzette Rasmussen affirming the allegations against Ballard, stating that they were "subjected to sexual harassment, spiritual manipulation, grooming, and sexual misconduct."[41] That same morning, O.U.R. released a statement confirming that they had launched an investigation into the allegations when they were first made, and that at the conclusion of that investigation, Ballard resigned.[41][42]

On October 9, 2023, a lawsuit was filed by five women who said they were coerced into sexual acts by Ballard during his sting operations.[43]

On October 11, 2023, a married couple filed a lawsuit against O.U.R. and Ballard, accusing Ballard of sexual assault and grooming. In a statement in the lawsuit, the husband alleged that Ballard wanted his wife to help O.U.R., despite her having "no training in any sort of undercover work." The lawsuit went on to state that Ballard began abusing the "couples ruse", in which Ballard had women pose undercover as his wife or girlfriend to fool traffickers on purported rescue missions, and used it as a tool for sexual grooming.[44]

It was corrupt when Trump was in office.
It was corrupt when Obama was in office.
It was corrupt when Bush was in office.
It was corrupt for the entirety of my lifetime.

DUH

That's NOT what you're trying to say.

You're a far right extremist BOT. I'm not even sure Roy really is there anymore.
You simply exist to try and scare people into not voting for Biden.
The TRUTH isn't important to you.
Only your goal.

What a pathetic waste.

You THINK you're slick. But you're not. You're so transparent its grotesque.
We all see right through your little charade.
It's all about revenge for vaccines.
Such a sad, sad state.

Here's a summary of Trump's stance on vaccines. He's as slippery as Roy van Sciver.

Saying one thing, changing to another, using certain information only when it benefits him...

GOP Presidential Hopefuls Use Trump’s Covid Record to Court Vaccine Skeptics

Former President Donald Trump often seems proud to advertise his administration’s record on speedily developing covid-19 vaccines.

On the campaign trail to win another term in the White House, though, he also has knocked the use of those very vaccines. In October, for example, he unleashed a barrage of social media attacks on Ron DeSantis’ pandemic record by reposting claims that the Florida governor — who is running against him in the Republican presidential primaries — was too active in vaccinating Sunshine State residents.

In a further twist, Trump simultaneously circulated an MSNBC article suggesting DeSantis wasn’t vaccinating his constituents enough.

Trump’s tap dance — touting Operation Warp Speed’s success at developing vaccines while criticizing vaccine use — is emblematic of how pandemic politics are intensifying broader vaccine politics. Republican presidential candidates currently trailing the former president in polls are contorting their messaging to court the party’s vaccine-skeptical voters. No one embraces, without qualification, the utility of a public health measure that has saved millions of lives.

Trump “pushed the vaccine very hard and recently came out, when he began to get pushback on it, that it was somebody else’s fault,” Sharff said. “That’s not true.”

-----------------

In chasing these voters, some candidates are distancing themselves from initial, pro-vaccine positions to embrace outspoken views against the shot. Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur, started out as a vaccine cheerleader. But then he flipped, coming out against vaccine mandates and saying this summer that he regretted getting vaccinated. (His wife, a doctor, said she had no regrets.)

The most vocal of all is DeSantis.

Appearing on the right-leaning “PBD Podcast” on Oct. 30, DeSantis attacked Trump and “the corrupt medical swamp in D.C.” for overselling a vaccine that, despite the initial federal guidance, could not prevent infection or transmission of covid. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the vaccine for anyone 6 months and older to protect against serious illness.

Though he initially encouraged people to get vaccinated in early 2021, DeSantis pivoted months later, banning vaccine passports for businesses and government entities, and later approving legislation prohibiting vaccine mandates in the state. That fall, he also appointed a new Florida surgeon general, physician Joseph Ladapo, whose guidance on covid vaccines contradicts CDC recommendations. DeSantis formed a Public Health Integrity Committee to assess, and generally dispute, federal health recommendations.

When the CDC released new vaccine guidance in September, Florida responded with its own advisory casting doubt on the safety of the boosters.

This anti-vaccine positioning hasn’t helped DeSantis. He has been losing support nationally and is generally polling third behind Haley and Trump in New Hampshire, a key early primary state. He headlined a “medical freedom” town hall in Manchester on Nov. 1 with Ladapo as a special guest.

Exactly.

Extreme views are LOUD. They're not the most popular.

No matter how hard Roy tries.

It's another example that Roy is trying to make just to throw heavy shade at the current Government - done under the guise of "I'm NOT being Political, I'm saying ALL Government!"

As if all of us are that dumb.
