/ATG/ Anti-Trafficking General: DC INVESTIGATION

[Ayden Martinez]

This general is for identifying, discussing, mapping, researching and tracking various trafficking networks. There is a consistent trend of data showing that networks move though and rely on urban areas, specifically Sanctuary Cities. Feel free to submit tips or contribute with memes, infographs etc.

Trafficking can happen in many forms depending on the product being moved (human, guns, drugs, rare animals/art, organs etc.) and involve many different groups and organizations. We track all types.

Do not encourage violence here, we aren't trying to give them any excuses to shut it down.

Newcomers should pay attention to shills targeting these threads with discrediting/discouraging attempts as well as injection of misinformation and bad leads.

As the tile suggests, we are looking into DC and the trafficking networks within. Anyone with worthwhile intel is more than welcome to drop it here.

[Kevin Lee]

Starting Points: Areas with a Consistent Rate of Disappearances and Breeding Grounds

Where are they getting the kids and adults that they use for human trafficking? Where are places that large groups of people usually converge or stay at for an extended period? Here are 3 categories:

Where lots of kids meet and stay:

Where lots of adults meet and stay:

Where a mix of children and adults meet and stay:

Once we have determined possibility, we must assess probability. Is it likely that people would be abducted from these areas? Do the traffickers have enough cover to hide behind to get away with abducting people in these areas without too much suspicion? Do these areas have efficient escape routes to where the traffickers can quickly disperse abducted people into trafficking networks or directly to certain locations and people? Lastly, do these areas have enough funding, resources, and number of traffickers with the skills needed to conduct human trafficking operations there?

Next, start looking for connections between people, groups, and already confirmed trafficking networks in these areas. At this step, it is a good idea to bounce around between the midpoints and end points as well to help you find connections.

Breeding grounds are likely not as common as abduction sites and would be harder to figure out, but I think that they are a possibility worth putting on the table.

If worthwhile connections are found between people and groups that have reasonable probability to be connected to trafficking in that area, then it’s time to move on to connecting that starting point to midpoints and end points in whichever order you choose. You can also start to look for connections between other starting points in the trafficking networks if you think that it will lead to something. Connecting these starting points to the midpoints and the end points will help to further validate them.

[Caleb Jackson]

Midpoints: Routes, Pit Stops, and Distribution Centers

What means of transport are they using to distribute people? What means of transport are available in that location and would be both economically efficient and unsuspicious? Where would those certain means of transport most easily be able to travel to? Where are those certain means of transportation most commonly going?

Look for the places that the transportation is immediately going to. Do not immediately assume that these are ending points, for they may be midpoints (pit stops or distribution centers). See if anything is being transported to and from these locations, for this will determine if it is either a pit stop or a distribution center, and if it is indeed a midpoint. Something to remember about midpoints, and starting points to some extent, is that there are certain resources required for the transport of people (things like food, drugs for sedation, and etc;). Places that distribute these resources work as assets to the networks and may not be used for relocating people.

Pit stops will follow along the same route, while distribution centers will branch off into a different one. Pit stops will also generally be smaller than distribution centers and have less access to different routes. Pit stops usually work as refueling stations for the transportation and as temporary lodgings. Pits stops in-between distribution centers and end points are important for maintaining a state of confidentiality, as people would start noticing if the routes all directly went to just one place.

Distribution centers are usually a warehouse, a fulfillment center, a cross-dock facility, a bulk break center, or a package handling center. This is where people are sold and transported to their respective ending points. These are especially required to remain hidden or non-suspect, and must be large enough to accommodate for large groups of people.

>2/3

[Dylan Phillips]

End Points: Individuals, Locations, and Organizations

Who are the ones receiving all of these people in the end? It can either be individuals who are looking for personal sex slaves or for people to use as sacrifices.

They can be specific locations which function as a type of Bohemian Grove or for places where they conduct orgies, mass torture, cannibalism (Spirit Cooking comes to mind, along with Spirit Eating), or group sacrifices. Group indoctrination, hazing ceremonies, and blackmail can also occur at these places.

Other locations include military bases, labs, and secret underground bases for genetic experiments, cloning, and for Super Soldier programs. Since some of these locations are top secret it may not be possible to find them, but you can find the trafficking networks that ultimately go to them. Locations like these are also likely to be tied to various groups.

Groups are numerous and varied. Examples are big pharma companies, bio-tech companies, IRL umbrella corporations, and large-scale cults and globalist groups. These groups can conduct any mixture of the previously mentioned activities that require people from human trafficking. These ending points in of themselves would have their own connections within them to different groups and individuals. The “end product” that these groups produce from the people they get through human trafficking may also be relocated and distributed to different places and organizations.

Guessing certain end points and seeing if the starting and midpoints happen to go to them, or are within the proximity of them, can be a valid strategy for finding them out.

>3/3

[Adam Morgan]

Look for these kinds of things to map out the trafficking networks:

1) [Secret Compartments in Vehicles/Ships/Aircraft & Types of Transport](Vans, Semi-Trucks, Buses, Trains etc for Land, Yachts, Cruise Ships, Container/Cargo Ships, Ferry's etc for Sea, Private Jets, Commercial/Cargo Flights, etc for Air.)(Sewers & Subway Tunnels can also be used).

2) [Abandoned Large Buildings in/around Sanctuary Cities.](Big enough to act as Distribution Centers/Warehouses for Trafficking Networks(Weapons, Drugs, People, Body parts/remains, etc))

3) [2016 Election District Map's Blue Parts](In relation to Trafficking Routes, Sanctuary Cities, etc. Work on combining different Maps to see the full picture/patterns.)

Pedo's are not the only groups the Kids are going to & Trafficking has several different categories:

1) [Government]

(For things like Super Soldier programs, Cloning & Body Modifications)

2) [Corporation/Business]

(For things like Genetic Testing/Experimentation & Chimera's)

3) [Criminal]

(Drugs, Weapons, Sex Slaves & Children)

4) [Cult]

(Sacrifices, Blackmail & Indoctrination)

5) [Intel Agencies]

(Brainwashing for Spy/Informant programs & Special Agent operations)

6) [Breeding/Harvesting Farms]

(Selectively Bred/Produced Humans, Organs/Fetuses/Blood & Supplying Trafficking Networks/Centers)

7) [Hollywood]

(Truman Show breeding/handling operations.)

Another thing to note is the use of trafficking for organ harvesting and slave labor (think Qatar for instance).

Right on time.

Here is our map of Washington DC, note the differences between this area and the maps that were made of Los Angeles. This is the dot map that we use to graph clusters of establishments commonly used for trafficking. You will find that you often will find trafficking hubs in the center of any large cluster of dots you see. These are also essential for finding patterns relating to the overall trafficking network in that city.

[Jayden Brown]

Compare the dot map with satellite imagery to see where urbanized/industrial areas are located. Usually once we've find enough suspicious locations we draw a search vector on one of these kinds of maps to limit the scope of your search.

[Camden Stewart]

And here I thought you were the other OP.

[Kayden Phillips]

Excellent OP. The modus operandi of Comet was clearly the same as the (planned) Pegasus operation.
In both cases Alefantis owned a place where children mixed with adults (or in the case of Pegasus a nearby playground). In both cases he bought or was linked to many establishments and properties around the central place. He would make sure a neighbourhood commissioner was in his pocket (or removed if he wasn't).
I think that would be a good starting point. Clusters of properties owned by the same circle around a 'child friendly' place and local community services and authorities linked to them.

doesn´t that map look like the missing 422 or something like that?

[Colton Miller]

Here is a general traffic map of the DC area, always look for any patterns you notice and check how the traffic changes at certain times of the day.

We even have a special automated traffic watcher that was made especially for the threads.

gateway.glop.me/ipfs/QmQRtPZAHfZ1GMYT2bAb4Xy4iV74NvAScdQzaaBd3RAw6b/trafficker-0.1.zip

Here is quote from the guy who made it himself "anons, here's a release of Trafficker as promised. you will need python 2.7.x and wxpython installed. i will post instructions for all platforms soon. this is just to get it out there - the playback doesn't work so ive removed it for now. to use just load the location in the embedded browser you have in the window, turn on traffic options, select a delay to use and hit record. bug reports welcome." I don't know if that user ever released additional details about it, but maybe if he sees these thread he'll respond. Either way, that is there. I myself am not really tech savvy and don't know how to use it myself.

[Mason Garcia]

Yup, it incorporates that map and another that looked at the know drug trafficking routes and layered over them an election map.

[Cameron Garcia]

bumpan for great justice.

These fuckers have to hang.

For all newfriends to thread... STOP USING THE TERM PIZZAGATE! USE PEDOGATE! IT IS ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ELITE FACTIONS PARTICIPATING IN COORDINATED CHILD TRAFFICKING RINGS

[Josiah Cooper]

Glad someone else was keeping track of that info.

Something interesting to look at might be the location of mosques in the area as well.

How does that line up with pic related?

[Justin Myers]

Here is a map of some of the Islamic Centers in DC. Islamic trafficking networks are quite common.

Lines up almost perfectly from what I see.

[Jacob Robinson]

DC is through hotels.

[Matthew Torres]

Good work op. I just wan to add something that everyone should consider: forget about pizzagate. The word itself is tainted thanks to the media and using it is an invitation for shills to discredit and attack thanks to the fake news scandal and the so called conspiracy theories. Keep on investigating, but its time to disassociate with the pizzagate hashtag to garner more credibility. Trafficking happens everywhere, not just pizza shops, so I believe its smart to make that distinction.

[Josiah Murphy]

There are dozens upon dozens of hotels in DC when I looked over it. That would follow along the lines of prostitution rings for sure.

I couldn't agree with you more.

[Noah King]

Back to page 1

[Colton Parker]

I posted it in the other thread but here it is again:

pic related is ACTUAL photo of pedos and traffickers before boarding a yacht for a sex party in haiti. they usually work for ngos and associations that help disaster zones.

news.com.au/entertainment/tv/current-affairs/sunday-nights-matt-doran-goes-undercover-with-operation-underground-railroad-to-bring-down-haiti-child-sex-ring/news-story/dcecf5950ca5b6d501c48ed927127bc3

>“The problem in Haiti is an international crisis,” Ballard explains. “With so many children displaced or orphaned during the recent earthquake and hurricane, recruiters moved quickly to sweep these children up. And the worst part of it all is that in many cases the clients are the foreigners who’ve come here to help, the NGO workers and the so-called humanitarians.”

[Ryder Gomez]

yeah, fuck the pizza part

also I saw a documentary about long haul truckers in trafficking, slavery and murder, apparently everybody knows that it´s happening
I don´t know if you´ve seen it but I guess for the smaller operations they would be the perverts to look after

[Charles Bell]

So, usually one of the first steps towards starting these investigations is looking at the history of a city to gain insight as to whom might be running the trafficking operations in the city and where they might be located. Does anyone have any interesting tid bits of history relating to Washington DC they would like to share?

Also to clarify what we are trying to do here, the goal is to find various Distribution centers throughout the city (which are generally located within large clusters of dots on the one map) which will connect to a larger Main Distribution Center that serves the whole city. The hope is that in tracking these locations down we can aid the work of various anti-trafficking agencies.

Thanks for the bumps.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.

It looks like DC got some big rennovations as a result of the City Beautiful urban renewal project in the 20’s and 30’s.

Growth continued through the 50’s so I’m guessing that the MDC was set up sometime during that timeframe (1920-1950’s).

[Tyler Nguyen]

Interesting, that would make it quite a bit older than the one in LA then. I'm also noticing that XPO Logistics has some locations in the DC area as well.

[Cameron Price]

look op, you're thread is dying because it doesn't have the pizzagate buzzwords in the topic name and it's not attracting the usual shills and crowd. It works much better like this, although there's obviously less traffick in the thread. here's another bump

[Bentley Brooks]

That's usually how the threads are. It takes a while for them to gain traction, especially since they haven't been as active lately.

Another thing to bring attention to the readers of the threads are ghost fleets. These are vehicles used for transportation that are usually white, black, a mixture of both with little to no markers used in trafficking. Anywhere where you see a lot of these vehicles parked together in one spot is worth investigating. Some vehicles are also reused by certain dirty companies. Tyson Foods and Cargill are notable ones worth mentioning along with XPO Logistics.

[Henry Gray]

I’d imagine that it popped up around the time that the mafia first set up shop in DC. Saw this article which seems to indicate that the mafia was involved with it as well as producing kiddie porn and snuff films. That means around the 30’s/40’s maybe?

zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-04/victims-testimony-reveals-establishment-connected-east-coast-trafficking-network

Wonder if they’re still in business or if there’s more groups like MS-13 and IC groups involved.

[Landon Carter]

If you have reason for suspecting them then it doesn't hurt to look into them more.

Scary isn't it?

[Samuel Hernandez]

So I am not saying that this place is involved with trafficking as I just found it, but this would be an example of what those kinds of places look like based on what we found while searching in LA. Notice the secluded area with lots of space for storage, transportation, and what's around it like that pharmacy (which can be used to sedate people while they're being transported). Again, just showing this as an example to help newcomers out.

[Tyler Lopez]

An idea for next thread OP, throw in /pedogate/ RELATED or something along the lines. I'm going to compile a /pedogate/ general eventually but for now I'm just shitposting to keep the threads relevant.

The shills are sliding hard right now because there's a resurgence in interest on the subject and 10s of thousands of people lurk this site every fucking day - and every extra person who gets redpilled on the subject is NOT good for them.

Anyways, thank you for your good work OP user. We will win the war.

[Jayden Martin]

Well we try to look at all kinds of trafficking like drugs and weapons on top of human trafficking. We try to not narrow down the focus too much so that people are encouraged to look at more than just human trafficking in the areas we search.

[Evan Edwards]

It could be that those groups eventually started to work together as well. I've read that some members of the Mafia became interbred with the IC sort of speak, but also in a literal sense if you know what I'm talking about.

[Hudson Garcia]

[Nolan Barnes]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Another thing to look out for are any places along rail roads, as they love transporting larger loads that way. Mapping out the the routes of railroads is a pretty good idea to. I'm just not not very good with image editing software, especially when compared to other anons on this site.

[Grayson Harris]

Makes sense. IC was certainly purchasing information from the mafia, at the very least.

[Cooper Morgan]

Most definitely. Btw, something amusing is that there just happens to be a purple revolution thread (which I was posting for a while) right now and all of the usual shills probably think that I'm OP of it. Seems to be keeping them distracted, at least until they realize this thread is up.

[Andrew Fisher]

Love a Child is a giant Shriners-financed Haitian operation with a large orphanage in Fond Parisien surrounded by high fences and wires. It has revenues of over $50mn/year and ships at least ten 40 foot containers a month from Boca Grande to Port-au-Prince.
Now I'm trying to find out if any containers and cargo are returned, i.e. shipping lines from Haiti to Fort Myers/Boca Grande. Any user with expertise on shipping data?

[Isaac Russell]

Lol, truly too stupid to live.

Wasn’t there a FOIA about DC trafficking floating around here a while back? Might wanna look up the addresses of the establishments and see where they are in relation to the dot map.

Here's something kind of interesting I found. Question is are these places that we can safely assume that trafficking operations aren't near or are these possibly corrupt locations that are being used?

[Wyatt Flores]

It was about a nationwide network but DC had a number of locations and individuals mentioned iirc.

Hard to say but looking into each location’s financial supporters could be a clue.

[Josiah Cooper]

actspwc.org/about-us/our-board

Here's an example of one of the organizations listed. It has ex-military in it, which I would assume would be a sign that it's legit? I know military types tend to have it out for pedos are usually more patriotic.

[Brayden Sullivan]

Interesting, reminds me of that former Seal Craig Sawyer who has an anti trafficking program in LA.

You should add contemporary art galleries to that list too.

>Art auctions are one of the best money laundering methods out there
>Special handlers and even state department involved in most overseas shipments

[Gabriel Carter]

Checked. Godspeed anons.

[Dylan Baker]

Art galleries are mainly used for money laundering. I could potentially see one of those places being used for drug or weapons trafficking through large shipments in the past. We just didn't a particular case of such happening in the past. I do not believe they are using those for human trafficking. Better places for that I think.

[Joshua Carter]

bump

[Asher Robinson]

Didn’t he get fired for cheating on his wife?

Art is kind of something tracked here since it’s commonly a black market item. The distribution centers these generals look for can move stuff like that.

[Ryder Adams]

some of you may have a hard time accepting this human trafficking thing that's going on, but it really makes a lot of sense if you think about it, and it not such a bad thing.

We all know that global warming is happening, and it's because there are too many people in the world. In the interest of humanity, China did their part in controlling population growth, by limiting one child per household, and that helped a lot towards keeping the population in check, but there was an unforeseen consequence. Traditional Chinese families wanted a male heir, to carry on the family name, which led to a lot of female babies being aborted due to the one child policy. After literally 30 years with no females being born in China, there is now a shortage.

As many of you know, when there are not enough women to go around, dudes sometimes turn gay, because they desire companionship.

Girls who are trafficked to China are not merely being used as sex slaves, they are doing their part to help stop this global warming epidemic... and I might add, they are also preventing a good number of young Chinese boys from turning gay.

As you can see this is a win - win situation.

[Nicholas Powell]

I live in that blue county on Michigan's west coast, can confirm several instances of women going missing, and recently, a man charged with the abduction/murder of one or two women (can't remember) who was found to have a kidnapping van with insulin, tape, etc, in the back.

I'll give you bonus points on creativity at least. Everyone here knows that global warming is used as part of an agenda though.

It's always worth it to see what kinds of establishments are around the areas where people go missing like that.

[James Gray]

Bump

[Liam Perez]

People go missing everywhere around here. Women being followed around stores/parking lots is a common occurrence, several people close to me have had this happen. Parking lot abductions are huge. The man I referred to, I believe, was someone who facilitates the acquisition of young women for this network, and the recent murder he's been charged guilty with, is an example of a botched kidnapping attempt. He was found to have lists and addresses of young girls in his van.

Government-Sanctioned Monopolies
Posted at 16:36h in Sustainable Development by Tom DeWeese

President Trump is calling for a major new investment for rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure of highways, bridges and more. There is no question that it needs to be done. However, it’s vitally important that local, state and federal government agencies avoid calls to fund this massive effort through so-called Public/Private Partnerships (PPPs). Local officials must understand that there is a vast difference between calls for a competitive biding process to select private companies for the projects verses an actual partnership with government.

During the first years of the Clinton Administration in the early 1990s, there was much fanfare about a new policy to “reinvent government.” It was sold as a way to make government more efficient and less costly. It would, said its proponents, “bring business technologies to public service.” In addition, the promise was that the new way would bring in private money to programs and projects, rather than tax dollars.
