SHOCKING TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY SCENE

WE ARE ALL SURROUNDED BY RIP-OFFS, AND ONE WHICH IS MOST LIKELY BOUGHT IS WHEN THERE IS ABUSE OF POWER IN OUR MIDST, LIKE IN MR. SARKOZY´S DETENTION. DEFINITELY WHAT THE FRENCH JUSTICE SYSTEM IS DOING WITH MR. SARKOZY IS ABUSE OF POWER, SINCE HE WAS PUT THROUGH DETENTION FOR INFLUENCE PEDDILNG LAST TUESDAY, BEING INNOCENT TO THIS VERY DAY UNLESS EVIDENCE PROVES HIM GUILTY.

WE ONLY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE POLITICIANS ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO CARRY OUT ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, MUCH WORSE ONES THAN INFLUENCE PEDDLING, AND NEVERTHELESS THEY ARE NOT HUMILIATED WITH A DETENTION.

” THESE MANEUVERS FROM THE SYNDICAT DE LA MAGISTRATURE TRADE UNION ARE INTENDED TO PREVENT MR. SARKOZY FROM REACHING THE PRESIDENCY IN 2017, AND THAT IS WHY MR. SARKOZY ACCUSED THE SYNDICAT DE LA MAGISTRATURE TRADE UNION “ OF SEEKING TO DESTROY HIM.” “

GOOD PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD SUPPORT MR. SARKOZY WHEN HE STATES THE FOLLOWING: “ I NEVER COMMITTED AN ACT AGAINST THE REPUBLIC´S PRINCIPLES.”

MR. SARKOZY  BARELY ABLE TO CONTAIN HIS ANGER  LAUNCHED A BLISTERING ATTACK ON THE FORCES THAT HE SAID WERE TRYING TO BRING HIM DOWN. OVER AND AGAIN HE REPEATED THE PHRASE “ IS IT NORMAL? “ TO DESCRIBE HIS HANDLING BY THE JUDGES. HE WANTED THE SAME TREATMENT AS ANY OTHER FRENCH CITIZEN, HE SAID, BUT HE WAS NOT GETTING IT. “

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE PROHIBITED THE PHONE-TAPS OF CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN MR. SARKOZY AND HIS LAWYER, BUT KNOWING  IT  DID NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, AND PERMITTED IT. THESE MANEUVERS ON A GOOD PERSON LIKE MR. SARKOZY MAKE US ALL RAISE OUR EYEBROWS ABOUT THE LEGAL SYSTEM TODAY IN FRANCE. THIS BEING THE CASE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR ALL OF US IS TO GET OFF MR. SARKOZY´S CASE AND RESPECT HIM.

IN OUR BOOKS NOONE IS ABOVE THE LAW AND EVERYONE IS INNOCENT UNLESS EVIDENCE PROVES HIM GUILTY. CONSEQUENTLY, WE BELIEVE IN MR. SARKOZY´S INNOCENCE AND ASK THOSE ABUSING POWER TO QUIT. THEY HAVE OTHER FISH TO FRY, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE HUMAN TRAFFICKING. ON JUNE 14TH, 2014 I WENT TO THE MOVIES TO SEE REDEMPTION, WHICH I RECOMMEND YOU WATCH, DIRECTED BY JASON STATHAM AND AARON LY, AND THERE WAS A SCENE THAT IMPACTED ME SO MUCH THAT HAS STAYED IN MY MIND EVER SINCE. IN THE SHOCKING SCENE YOU COULD SEE A WAREHOUSE PACKED WITH BOXES. IN SOME BOXES ONE COULD READ “FLOWERS” AND IN OTHERS “CHICKEN”. SO FAR EVERYTHING SEEMS NORMAL, RIGHT? YES, BUT HERE COMES THE FREAKING-OUT DETAIL. EVERY BOX HAD A RECTANGLE OPENING. A CHINESE MAN COMES IN THE SCENE AND STARTS TO SPEAK CHINESE TO THE BOXES AS IF THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THE BOXES. REGRETTFULLY THERE WERE HUMAN BEINGS. THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED THE ORDER TO STICK THEIR HANDS OUT OF THE RECTANGLE OPENING, SO THAT ANOTHER HUMAN TRAFFICKER COULD SHAKE THEIR HANDS TO GUESS THEIR AGE AND DECIDE WHETHER HE WAS INTERESTED IN BUYING THAT MERCHANDISE OR NOT.  NO VOICE WAS HEARD, SO WE CAN REACH THE CONCLUSION THEY HAD BEEN GAGGED. THERE IS NO DOUBT THESE HUMAN BEINGS WERE GOING TO BE ILLEGALLY TRANSPORTED ACROSS INTERNATIONAL BORDERS. THIS FILM, LIKE MOST, DEPICTS REALITY AND UNFORTUNATELY TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT THOUSANDS OF HUMAN BEINGS FALL VICTIMS EVERY YEAR.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS THE TRADE IN HUMANS, MOST COMMONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SEXUAL SLAVERY, FORCED LABOUR OR COMMERCIAL SEXUAL EXPLOITATION FOR THE TRAFFFICKERS OR OTHERS, OR FOR THE EXTRACTION OF ORGANS OR TISSUES. “

“ THE UNITED NATIONS ESTIMATED NEARLY 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE FROM 127 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ARE BEING TRAFFICKED INTO 137 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. “

“ COUNTRIES IN AFRICA AND IN ASIA GENERALLY INTERCEPT MORE CASES OF TRAFFICKING FOR FORCED LABOUR, WHILE SEXUAL EXPLOITATION IS SOMEWHAT MORE FREQUENTLY FOUND IN EUROPE AND IN THE AMERICAS. ADDITIONALLY, TRAFFICKING FOR ORGAN REMOVAL WAS DETECTED IN 16 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.”

“ THE “ 3P ANTI-TRAFFICKING POLICY INDEX “ MEASURES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOVERNMENT POLICIES TO FIGHT HUMAN TRAFFICKING BASED ON AN EVALUATION OF POLICY REQUIREMENTS PRESCRIBED BY THE UNITED NATIONS PROTOCOL TO PREVENT, SUPRESS AND PUNISH TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS. “

“ THE POLICY LEVEL IS EVALUATED USING A FIRE-POINT CALE, WHERE A SCORE OF FIVE INDICATES THE BEST POLICY PRACTICE, WHILE SCORE 1 IS THE WORST. THE SCALE IS USED TO ANALYZE THE MAIN THREE ANTI-TRAFFICKING POLICY AREAS: 1) PROSECUTING TRAFFICKERS, 2) PROTECTING VICTIMS, AND 3) PREVENTING THE CRIME OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. THE WORST PERFORMING COUNTRY IN 2009 WAS NORTH KOREA, RECEIVING THE LOWEST SCORE IN ALL DIMENSIONS ( OVERALL SCORE 3 ), FOLLOWED BY SOMALIA.”

“ IOM STATISTICS INDICATE THAT A SIGNIFICANT MINORITY ( 35 % ) OF TRAFFICKED PERSONS IT ASSISTED IN 2011 WERE LESS THAN 18 YEARS OF AGE. IT WAS REPORTED IN 2010 THAT THAILAND AND BRAZIL WERE CONSIDERED TO HAVE THE WORST CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RECORDS.”

“ INDIVIDUALS, AND SITUATIONS VULNERABLE TO TRAFFICKERS INCLUDE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, RUNAWAY TEENS, DISPLACED HOMEMAKERS, REFUGEES, JOB SEEKERS, TOURISTS, KIDNAP VICTMS AND DRUG ADDICTS. VICTIMS ARE CONSISTENTLY EXPLOITED FROM ANY ETHNIC AND SOCIAL BACKGROUND. UNDERAGE SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS IN THE U.S ARE OFTEN RUNAWAYS, TROUBLED, AND HOMELESS YOUTH.”

THE CONVENTION AGAINST TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME (CTOC ) AND THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATION (IOM ) SHOULD START  CARRYING  OUT DETENTIONS OF THESE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS. THE CTOC SHOULD HAVE THE SUPPORT OF ALL THE BEST PROFFESIONALS WHO CAN HELP US ALL PUT AN END TO THIS TERRIFYING EPISODES.

WE ALL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STOP ALL KINDS OF EXPLOITATIONS.. ONE OF THEM IS REQUESTING PROSTITUTION, AND IT HAS TO BE TACKLED BY EACH ONE OF US NOT CONSUMING ANY OF IT. ANYONE REQUESTING PROSTITUTION SERVICES IS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS HORRIFYING TRADE. MANY OF THEM ARE FORCED TO WORK AS PROSTITUTES, MANY AS WELL WORK AS SUCH BECAUSE THEY WANT TO, AND MANY BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN ANY OTHER WAY TO EARN A LIVING, OR BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BRAVE ENOUGH TO QUIT IT AND START FROM SCRATCH, LOOKING FOR A DECENT JOB WITH LOW PAYMENT. 

PRIVATE PLEASURE MEANS NOTHING COMPARED TO A PERSON´S RIGHTS. FREE LUXURY HOLIDAYS IN HERZEGOVINA, ETHIOPIA AND INDIA DO NOT APPEAL TO ANYONE WHO IS CONCERNED ABOUT CHOOSING A HOLIDAY DESTINATION WHERE RIGHTS ARE RESPECTED. HERZEGOVINA, ETHIOPIA AND INDIA SEEM TO LURE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS INTO THEIR COUNTRIES, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THESE ATROCIOUS CRIMES TAKE PLACE BECAUSE THE AUTHORITIES THERE LET THEM BE.

THESE CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS INSIDE THE BOXES DEPICT THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING TAKING PLACE TODAY, AND THE OBVIOUS SUFFERING OF THESE INNOCENT LIVES HELD AGAINST THEIR WILL. LET US ALL GET AROUND TO MAKE SURE THAT NOONE´S FREEDOM IS RESTRICTED. PLEASE, WHENEVER YOU HAVE SOME TIME OFF, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR, AND AT THE SAME TIME MAKE OUR WORLD A BETTER ONE, NOT REQUESTING PROSTITUTION. YOU WOULD BE DEFINITELY CONTRIBUTING TO PROMOTE PROSTITUTION AND MORE RESTRICTION ON HUMAN BEINGS FREEDOM IF YOU REQUESTED IT.

DRIVING MY MESSAGE HOME LET US SAY THIS WORLD NEEDS A FIX. A GOOD WAY TO STRUCTURE AN ARRANGEMENT ON HIGHLY WORTHWHILE TERMS TO FIX THIS MESS IS TO START LOOKING DEEPER, PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAILS, SAYING “ NO “ TO ANY EXPLOITATION FORM, WHETHER IT IS PROSTITUTION, HUMAN TRAFFICKING OR LABOUR TRAFFICKING. LET US LOOK AFTER ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS NEEDED TO BE CARRIED OUT AND LIFE WITH ITS WONDERFUL SURPRISES WILL LOOK AFTER US.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS SUCH A GLOBAL CONCERN THAT GOVERNMENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO SERIOUSLY TACKLE IT WITH ALL THE EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES AVAILABLE. POLITICIANS KNOW EXACTLY WHICH COUNTRIES ARE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS AND HAVE TO MEASURE UP TO CATCH THESE CRIMINALS.

PUTTING FOUR AND FOUR TOGETHER, ALL HUMAN TRAFFICKING COMES FROM A LACK OF VIRTUES WHICH ONE CAN ONLY MAKE  THEIRS BY BEING AWARE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD WITHIN ONESELF. A VOID OF VIRTUES IN A PERSON CAN EASILY LEAD HIM TO BENEFITING FROM EXPLOITATION ACTIVITIES OF DIFFERENT KINDS, LIKE IN THIS CASE HUMAN TRAFFICKING. THERE IS NO TIME TO BEAT AROUND THE BUSH WITH AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS TO COMBAT IT. GOVERNMENTS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON, THEY KNOW THE COUNTRIES AND THE CITIES WHERE THESE CRIMINAL PRACTICES ARE TAKING PLACE AND THEY JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE GUTS TO DEPLOY THEIR POLICE FORCE AND OTHERS TO GET TO THE SPOT, AND TACKLE IT FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL.

THE DIRECTORS OF THE FILM REDEMPTION HAVE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB LETTING US SEE THAT TOUGH SCENE, THIS ARTICLE WILL DO ITS PART, AND NOW THE BALL IS ON THE WORLD GOVERNMENTS COURT.

 

ALL THE QUOTES I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU ARE FROM HUMAN TRAFFICKING-WIKIPEDIA, THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA, AND FROM BBC NEWS 2 JULY 2014.

She decided to go to the United States as an exchange student for her senior year. She lived with an American family in California for that school year. After coming back from the US she started her undergraduate studies at Deusto University. By this time she had already lived in Santurtzi for seventeen years. It was 1983 when she and her family moved to Getxo. At Deusto University she studied English Linguistics for five years. She was twenty three years old when she got her undergraduate degree. She spent about three months during three different summers in England. During two of those summers she was an exchange student, and another summer she was working as an au pair, living with an English family. She also spent about two months during two different summers in Dublin. She was an exchange student living with an Irish family for a month, and another summer she was living in a student residence. In 1988 she was granted a scholarship to do her graduate studies at Indiana University, in the U.S..She completed a double master on English and Spanish Applied Linguistics in 1990. During that year and a half that she was studying over there she was also working as an Associate Professor giving Spanish classes at Indiana University. After working on the double master, She decided to go back to Spain and work as an English teacher at an English school in Galdakao for a year. At the same time that she was working, she was studying in order to sit a competitive exam. She went to Madrid to take it, and got the job she wanted. She became a civil servant, and she started working as an English teacher at a high school in 1991. By the year 2004 she had already been teaching for thirteen years in four different high schools, giving lessons to secondary students. In 2004 she decided to quit teaching and start painting as a self-made painter. She has got thirty six original oil paintings on canvas, and all of them share bright, lively, warm colors which invite you to smile and chill out. You see them all together and you see a real celebration of life, of what life should be, of happiness and love. Apart from painting, she is very keen on music and photography. About music, it must be said that she was very much into it during some years in the past, specially when she was taking Classical and electric guitar lessons and writing her own songs. She has got four demos with songs sung, both in English and Spanish. She performed as a singer in some places in the year 2000 after recording all her original songs. She is a hard-working person and a very good listener. She is one of those really positive people that finds solutions to almost anything you can think of. She enjoys creative work, either in painting, photography, dancing, singing, writing or cooking. She also enjoys herself with those little things in life like going out for a stroll in the country, listening to all kinds of music, good company, a good book, helping people in need, taking a nap, or just watching a funny movie. She is really interested in the protection of animals rights.
