Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist A shocking new report from the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women paints a disturbing picture of law enforcement and their role in sex trafficking. The report found that instead of preventing child and adult sex trafficking, many police officers are participating in it. The report is titled “Sex Trafficking in Hawaii: The Stories of Survivors,” which detailed the testimonials from multiple victims. One particularly disturbing part of the report was the fact that almost half of all the victims interviewed reported that police officers participated in their abuse and victimization. “The corruption of members of the criminal justice system reported by the participants in the study was pervasive in their stories of being prostituted,” the report noted. The report found that the average age of those being trafficked is just 14-years-old, showing how early the abuse began. One of the victims interviewed, who wished to remain anonymous for obvious reasons explained that “the same people that are charging you for prostitution are the people turning around and buying it from you.” Another participant in the study noted that police would even help to acquire the young girls drugs. The teenager was living in a drug house which had been busted by police and after the raid, the officer told the girl, “if you want pills, don’t mess with this little kid, you call me.” Khara Jabola-Carolus, with the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, explained that the abuse was extensive and on all levels of the spectrum. “This ranged from cops asking for sexual favors to more coercive situations like I’ll let you go if you do X, Y, or Z for me.’ Bring customers after hours in exchange for cigarettes or gas money,” she explained. When confronted with this information about the abuse of sex trafficking victims by police officers, Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard issued the following statement: “I am deeply concerned and will continue to ask the Commission to provide additional information so that HPD can investigate. We respect the participants’ privacy and understand why they do not want to be identified. However, if they can provide us with when or where the activity occurred and a description of the officer, we will investigate to the fullest extent possible. HPD does not condone the behavior described in the study under any circumstances.” While the idea that police officers are abusing victims of sex trafficking may seem outlandish to some, it should come as no surprise to those who’ve been paying attention, especially out of Hawaii. As the Free Thought Project previously reported in 2014, Honolulu police officers urged lawmakers to keep an exemption in state law that allows undercover officers to have sex with prostitutes during investigations. For years, Hawaii allowed their cops to have sex with prostitutes and victims of human trafficking while at the same time arresting these women. It’s not just Hawaii either. In Michigan, police were granted immunity from prosecution if they had sex with a prostitute or a sex trafficking victim during an investigation. This was legal for law enforcement all the way up until 2018 when lawmakers had to get a bill passed to specifically outlaw the practice of having sex with victims of human trafficking. Both the cops in Hawaii and in Michigan put up huge resistance to the outlawing of sex with human trafficking victims, claiming it was necessary to catch lawbreakers. However, Bridgette Carr, a director of the Human Trafficking Clinic at the University of Michigan Law School, explained how cops used these laws to further exploit their victims. “What I do know from my own clients is that people who either say they are cops, who are cops or who are impersonating cops, know about this exemption and threaten my clients with it sometimes,” she said. Police officers using their power to exploit human trafficking victims is a common thread among many cases. On multiple occasions, the Free Thought Project has reported interviews of former child sex trafficking victims who’ve all noted that they had nowhere to go as police and high-level politicians all participated in the abuse. In case after case, the Free Thought Project reports on horrifying instances of child sex rings that were allowed to go on for decades because politicians — including heads of states — policemen, clergy, and others were all in on the sick game.

#73. To: Gatlin (#46)
See ya, asshole coward … Speaking of cowards my bozo level went up by one right after you posted this, as usual. So was it with your Gatlin logon or another one? You want to talk about hostility maybe you should look in the mirror about how you've treated certain posters like Deckard, Stoner, Paultards and numerous others over the years. Or making silly threats about shutting down someone's website because a few people were pointing out your stupidity (me for one). Does that ring a bell? (Probably not most people like you want to forget/gloss over really embarrassing schitt don't they). The self proclaimed academia and bully boy schtick is really worn out you know!! Stuff like that doesn't really look good for someone of your "supposed age" (if the personal rhetoric you've spread is factual "flyboy") makes you look childish and/or a liar, both actually. If you have a problem with me pointing out your hypocrisy maybe you should act your age, cry to Stone (who will just laugh) or just close shop (like you did the last time you were embarrassed) the choice is yours. I'm curious as to why you came back? Did what few people you have/had in your life tell you to F.O. or are you hoping people here have short memories? You know some of us have people like you in their family and we can see right thru the bluster and BS. You know instead of the link you posted maybe you should review a few articles concerning honesty and integrity, something you supposedly pledged to uphold about 50 years ago if your lives story is true!! Oh BTW I'm supposedly younger than you and haven't grown up yet so I get a free pass for my treatment of you, don't I? Later Gramps...
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Simply amazing. This site has at most a dozen or so members, and you and Gatlin are doing all you can do discourage new people from posting, because why - they aren't a part of your little echo chamber? Seriously Stone, do you want this site to grow or are you happy with the reprehensible treatment of newcomers (and long-time posters) by Tater and FireIsland, thereby providing an environment where posters are allowed only beliefs or opinions that agree with yours, so any existing views are reinforced and alternative ideas are not considered? I think we all know the answer to that.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Just some yeast genetically altered to produce cannabinoids instead of alcohol. The drug warriors here would call for an immediate ban on such beer.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. BULLSHIT ...
Bullshit. There are just a handful of Paultard assholes with multiple ID’s, all you assholes have ever done is DEMANDED that FR, LP or LF be Paultard echoing chambers... and you assholes have kept any other types of posters (besides the few snowflakes) from posting here with your anarchist asshole behaviors. You fucks won’t ever be “discouraged”... society will always have criminals, and LF will always have you assholes. I’m just hanging around for each of you to kick the geriatric bucket. Stinky is next.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I have no idea what you are attempting to say within your sick, schizophrenia deluded mind. I haven't been on LF for days, much less this thread. Why the HELL are you dragging me into your wretched posts?
Seriously Deckard, you are concerned with the future growth of this site while you continue to daily saturate this site with your spamming cop-hating articles. And continually post yellow journalism articles from The Free Thought Project, Reason, Lew Rockwell and similar ilk? You are fucking insane …
You posted that you had me on bozo and bragged about it You responding to me provides STRONG evidence that you were lying....AGAIN. Loser ...
You are one of FR, LP and LF’s biggest disruptive Paultard assholes. Every time anyone has banned you, like a criminal you keep coming back with new ID’s. At least when paranoid schizophrenic Goldi banned me on election night, 2012, five minutes after MSM announced the potatoes second victory, I was gone, and respected that crazy bitches decision... and never posted again until I came here. You posting criminals don’t respect anyone or their forums. Fuck off, your little “who me” bullshit doesn’t fly.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Yeah, I took you off BOZO to understand your weird and bizarre complaints.
Amen to that brother. And one just showed up on this thread using his original ID. You tell ‘em, GI….you tell ‘em!!!
That is about all you are good for.
Ha.... that’s laughable. Dicktard is only concerned about propagating his AGENDA by continuously posting fear mongering police articles and pro drug bullshit. Anyone that disagrees with that asshole is met with disruption. I know, I’ve been subjected to it since 2008 when that slimey fuck posted under numerous other IDs after being banned multiple times. Like InfoBuger. There is only one echoing chamber here... the Paultard chamber. Lately it’s the anti Trump echoing chamber... FUCK THEM.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You lie at every turn. You wanna know when you are lying? When your fucking lips are moving.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Please again “pretend” you put me back on.
Haaaaaa That’s some funny shit
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You lie at every turn He does. And he always will. It's a well known and highly recognized Paultard libertarian trait.
I even had to laugh as I posted it.
His undying love and unending devotion ...
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. I have never placed you on BOZO in the past. Gatlin (aka Tater) was on BOZO, as I said because the poster struts around the forum making ridiculous arguments based on the contents of his schizophrenic mind. There is no fact at all. I took the poster off BOZO to listen to his complaints is all. They are unsubstantiated, of course. It is like he needs to be lockedupped, similar to boris.
So, within the wild schizophrenic mindset you wield, why do you post bizarre commentary to me?
He does. And he always will. It’s what anarchist do. Stone has allowed them to infest his forum, like Goldi did. There is no getting rid of the vermin. The Wheelchair RINO knee how important it was to his forum to rid himself of the intolerant PAULTARDS. His site still goes pretty strong posting, with moderate numbers... and LP IS FINIDHED AND THIS SITE NOT FAR BEHIND. You tell me what was smart... banning them or providing them a home to post in the name of liberty, ON PRIVATE SITES, using warped ideology? Rim Job was obviously smarter.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
So typical hondo. Oh wait ... It's you Deckard. So typical of the both of you. You are are such a loss when you are getting your asses kicked that ALL you can do is post stupid memes. lol ...
They are like a plague ...
In this respect on FR, yea he was. But here, they would only use one of the alternative stored IDs. Of which they have a countless number ...
But here, they would only use one of the alternative stored IDs. Of which they have a countless number ... Rim Job, I’m sure has giggled his numb ass off hundreds of times knowing all his old pests, are all wrecking other forums... Lol
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Just to draw you out. To prove that you were lying all the time about having me on bozo. And what I can say by your reactive post to me while you claimed to have me on bozo is: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. ROTFLMAO ...
You don't understand the Internet. The BOZO filter on LF only works when logged into the website. When I enter the website I am logged off because of the structure of my browser. I just happened to see you bad mouthing me today and when logged in, I took you off BOZO to communicate with you to further understand your complaints.
Yea ... And this was another great job you did here this morning. A Saturday morning successful kick-ass on Paultards is a wonderful way to get the weekend off to a fine start. Catch you later ...
Sure, I post from those and a number of other alternative news sites. The corporate media always lies, isn't that the prevailing thought around these parts? My articles do elicit responses, and traffic - especially from the delusional authority fetishists of the canary clan. Of course, one-dimensional posters and short-bus riders like you you would like it better if articles from FOX News were only allowed. That way you can maintain your Groupthink agenda. Yeah - that's the ticket!!

When I enter the website I am logged off because of the structure of my browser. I just happened to see you bad mouthing me today and when logged in Same here in Firefox. This internet thing is still a mystery to Tater. BTW, both he and FireIsland are well known for posting shit about people without putting their name in the To: box. Sure sign of cowardice.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. I understand that. I understand everything….perfectly well. Quit groveling asshole. Get up off your knees and stop acting obsequiously in order to obtain forgiveness. If you didn’t have me on bozo, then you were lying. If you did have me on bozo and diligently read my posts while you were not signed in, then you are a hypocrite. In either case, you are a repulsive Paultard with a deeply flawed character. I’m done here …
So why are you complaining to me?
And the INTENTIONAL reason for doin that is … Wait for it … I decided there is no need to bother wasting my time to put your name in the “To” block since you have categorically stated that you ALWAYS read ALL posts I make. You did post that and you know that you did in a way that is unambiguously explicit and direct?
...cowardice.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. ...cowardice. To paraphrase old Barry: “Extremism in sense of brevity is never cowardice.” Now, I'm really finished here.
Here you'll need this. They don't make anything any stronger that I'm aware of so when you force feed him some be patient, it might take awhile for him to calm down and emote coherently.
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Gatlin: I understand that. I understand everything….perfectly well. Well... I will leave the door open for discussion for a few days since I don't want to take the time to involve any extraordinary key strokes to BOZO you again.
A Saturday morning successful kick-ass on Paultards is a wonderful way to get the weekend off to a fine start. Catch you later ... Later tater.

You need to become bold and without shame. Show some temerity and don’t cowardly hide behind sarcasm. For after all sarcasm is really just hostility disguised as humor and it is something else you cannot effectively use.

Ok... now fuck off for 365 days and come back and post three times and chalk it up to.. looking in from time to time. Then come up with the same paultard line of canaries or wife beating.
The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

I noticed that science has apparently come up with a way to produce yeast in a fermentation process that produces THC and CBD cannabinoids instead of alcohol.
