Whats going on in Iowa? The case of Molly Tibbetts has drawn new attention to the hundreds of other Iowans on the state Division of Criminal Investigation’s missing persons list. Among juveniles, girls are more likely to disappear than boys.
Race also plays a role: Black people make up a disproportionate amount of the missing persons list compared to the overall population of Iowa, especially among those 18 or younger.
What is under reported if reported at all is the activity of MS13 in Iowa.
The Mara Salvatrucha, or MS13, is perhaps the most notorious street gang in the Western Hemisphere. While it has its origins in the poor, refugee-laden neighborhoods of 1980s Los Angeles, the gang’s reach now extends from Central American nations like El Salvador and through Mexico, the United States and Canada. They rob, extort and bully their way into neighborhoods and have gradually turned to transnational crimes such as human smuggling and drug trafficking.
Drawn by the tens of thousands of Central American migrants seeking illicit passage through Mexico to the United States, the MS13 has developed into one of the foremost players in the nation’s thriving human trafficking industry.
MS13 provides crucial manpower for the foreign organizations, helping gangs like the Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartel sell drugs in the local market, intimidate rivals, and carry out executions.
It has been rumored that MS-13 members were used in the alleged Seth Rich’s hit. What a clean, disposable tactic if true. Undocumented, disposable foot-soldier patsies.
There are at least 30,000 children living in orphanages in Haiti. It is a staggering number for a country of 10 million people, but perhaps even more shocking, most of them are not orphans. According to a report an estimated $100-million a year is being donated to orphanages in Haiti by church groups and non-profits, mostly in the United States.
In the worst cases there are cases of child sexual exploitation and human trafficking inside Haiti’s orphanages. It is reported that here too, there is an MS13 connection.
Do you guys ever wonder why the story of Molly Tibbett’s disappearance made such wide spread news when there are thousands of missing people and children happening just about every day? What is it that makes one disappearance stand out in the media above all the others that are happening and never mentioned?
Robert Tibbetts, (father of Molly Tibbetts) worked as a marketing director at the architectural firm that constructed the William Jefferson Clinton Children’s Center in Haiti.
Federal authorities said Rivera provided falsified employment documents and was in the country illegally from Mexico, prompting Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and President Donald Trump to ridicule what they see as Democrat-led weakness on immigration policies.
But at Mollie’s funeral, father Rob Tibbetts highlighted how “grateful” he was to the Hispanic members of the Iowa community who were incredibly helpful during the search. “The Hispanic community are Iowans. They have the same values as Iowans,” he said, emphasizing family. “As far as I’m concerned, they’re Iowans with better food.”
Sam Lucas, who CNN confirmed as one of Tibbetts’s cousins posted on Twitter; “[H]ey i’m a member of Mollie’s family and we are not so f***ing small-minded that we generalize a whole population based on some bad individuals.”
Usually families of victims show up in support of POTUS after the crimes committed against their loved ones, why is it not the same here?
Coincidence?
