Human Trafficking Industry

Make no mistake, I am using my meager voice to support the hostages held by Gazans; the women raped and families of the children killed on Oct. 7; refugees seeking asylum in what was once the United States; non-white citizens being harassed, imprisoned, and murdered because of the color of their skin by those with no character, no redeeming values; to expose a would-be-king who lacks the historical knowledge of a third grader; to make fun of those unscarred by education who admire their “emperor’s new clothes"; and to expose the truth of the crimes committed by the human trafficking industry.

I agree with Moses Farrow:

As usual, there are always people who show up simply to argue, disagree, pushback, and cut you down once you start gaining attention. It’s almost like a rite of passage. Anyone with an online platform goes through this. It’s challenging when those people are friends, colleagues, loved ones you never expected would turn on you. This is what happens when you take a position and speak up.

For victims of crimes, who have been abused and directly told “you don’t matter, your voice doesn’t count” it’s easy to be run over, to be retraumatized, to succumb to those who now see you as a threat to them, their views, their sense of what’s right. So let’s pause, reflect and proceed with care as to how to come to a resolution. 

In the past, I’ve certainly given into my trauma reactions - fight, flight, freeze, fawn. These online spaces make it easy to simply block, delete, and feed these reactions. This doesn’t always help and doesn’t allow for constructive communication, connection, and collaborative problem solving. What do we do here in this current situation on my platform? 

People, including some friends and colleagues have chosen to show up and take over my platform. Why? They’ve stated they disagree with me, with my methods, with feeling like I am forcing them to stop using the word “adoption.” This last one is important because I am here staying in “my lane” and building my platform to expose the truth and encourage deprogramming from the brainwashing imposed on all of us by this industry. I am not singling anyone out, I’m not threatening or using any kind of force on them.

They are choosing to show up here, choosing to go after me and others commenting on my posts, they are actively telling them it’s “adoption” and engaging in arguments with them. Is this because they feel I’m forcibg them, so they feel justified in forcing others to agree with their views? To what end? I think it’s a reflex, a knee-jerk reaction simply to take back control. No real thought to the consequences, or harm they cause. To them, no one is going to tell them how to think and what to say. Regardless of being a friend, colleague, loved one when this gets triggered, you become a threat that must be taken out. I get it, I’ve had to deal with my own trauma reactions. 

What do we do? I will not be oppressed on my own platform. I will not allow others to be bullied and ganged up on. Anyone following along here can see this is how it’s playing out. I feel a sense of responsibility, a sense of protection for victims who have come here for the truth and validation. How do we uphold our boundaries, our peace, our self-respect when others make a point to violate them? 

To what end? One thought is if those coming here to push “adoption” propaganda and take over this space, I will just make another account and start again. There is no way I will be silent about the truth. I will always find a way to keep speaking up. I will stand my ground. I do so not for myself, but the children and their families. On this platform or another… those who know the truth are welcome to join me, those who disagree don’t have to be here. Perhaps it’s that simple.
