The Extremely High-Profit Business Of Slave Trading

[DrFrank]

All this national hysteria about immigrants,destined to turn violent due to the upcoming elections,caused me to research slavery,one type of illegal immigration.In particular I became curious because the Book of Revelation in its description of the destruction of "Babylon",which I believe is the biblical name for New York City,mentions the "slaves" will be in the city.The statistics I found are totally astonishing and in fact verge on totally brain-numbing.Here are some of them:

Human trafficking is the FASTEST-GROWING criminal industry in the world, with the total annual revenue for trafficking in persons estimated to be between $5 billion and $9 billion.The Council of Europe reports "People trafficking has reached epidemic proportions over the past decade, with a global annual market of about $42.5 billion." The United Nations estimates nearly 2.5 million people from 127 different countries are being trafficked around the world. Trafficking victims typically are recruited using coercion,deception,fraud, abuse of power, threats of harm to family members or outright abduction.

A more detailed explanation of how one type of slavery is practiced can be found in the following article from London's Guardian newspaper.Although it only describes the situation in London,sex trafficking is practiced in most of the large cities in the world and in all large and even many mid-size cities in the United States,with Sacramento California and Toledo Ohio being among the most active regional distribution centers for sex slavery.

Report Reveals London's Sex Slaves

More than 8,000 women are working as prostitutes in brothels, saunas and massage parlors in London, a report released today estimates.

Three quarters of them are foreign, with many smuggled into the country from eastern Europe and Asia as sex slaves.

Criminal gangs are increasingly turning to trafficking prostitutes because the financial gain for them is similar to the drug trade but the sentences are more lenient and prosecutions are seldom even sought by law enforcement agencies.

The Sex In The City report by the Poppy Project charity focuses on "off-street" prostitution. The six-month investigation on which it is based found 730 brothels operating in the capital and 66 supposedly legitimate lap-dancing clubs where dancers were offering sex to clients.

London boroughs had an average of 19 sites where sex could be bought, with between four and eight women on average working at each location.

The report's author, Sandra Dickson, said: The off-street sex industry is largely ignored in most discussions of prostitution, yet the women working in it are also vulnerable to being exploited by violent and abusive pimps and traffickers.

Women trafficked into prostitution told us they worked alongside other trafficked women all over London.

The report is the first to provide a snapshot of off-street prostitution across all London boroughs in saunas, massage parlors and businesses that advertise "personal services" in local newspapers.

Last year, the Metropolitan police's Clubs and Vice Unit removed 300 girls and women, including 10 children, out of brothels. Only 19% were British. The rest were from eastern Europe (25%), south east Asia (13%), western Europe (12%) and Africa (2%). Country by country, the largest numbers were from Thailand, Russia, Brazil and Kosovo. Superintendent Chris Bradford said: "It's just like a slave market."

Women smuggled in are often raped by their captors to "break them in" before being forced to work.They also have their passports and travel documents taken away so they cannot flee.

They are frequently forced to live in terrible conditions, sleeping on floors, and are then farmed out and moved around the capital. Women can be sold between brothels for up to £10,000 and may be sold four or five different times during their "careers" Some are even advertised on the internet, which police believe is fueling demand for trafficking."

It's not as if we haven't been warned about these days is it?

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (New King James Version)

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be LOVERS OF THEMSELVES, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers,WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, LOVERS OF PLEASURE rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.

I don't think that it follows...

If the slave trade is as big as you say it is, then how come you're just automatically zeroing in on New York? Are there other indicators that New York is 'Mystery Babylon'?

Well . . . there is a big market in New York for prostitutes and domestics. There are many documented cases of both living in slave like conditions. This also apparently true of other urban areas in the USA.

Again, how does this prove his point that NY is mystery Babylon?

If your looking for proof, you will have to buy it in a bottle. I would consider it a toss up as to which city of the major metropolis wins the cake. My comment was also many major cities are hubs for slavery and slavery/prostitution, and I would consider the Big Apple a prime candidate.
