At the ITA Showcase, I sat down with Josh Loaiza of 3Strands Global Foundation to discuss how telecom professionals can play a critical role in fighting human trafficking. Many may not realize it, but the telecommunications industry has a unique vantage point in identifying and reporting potential trafficking situations—whether working in rural areas, hotels, airports, or even residential neighborhoods. What is 3Strands Global Foundation? 3Strands is a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating human trafficking through a three-pronged approach: ✔ Education: Teaching people how to recognize and respond to trafficking situations ✔ Survivor Services: Helping survivors find employment and financial security to reduce vulnerability ✔ Policy Advocacy: Working with lawmakers to establish and improve anti-trafficking legislation "Education is the most powerful tool we have to combat this crime," Loaiza emphasized. "We believe prevention changes everything." The Role of Telecom Professionals in Fighting Trafficking You might ask, why telecom? The answer: visibility and presence. Telecom workers are in places where trafficking occurs, from urban centers to remote areas, and they often see things others do not. The National Human Trafficking Hotline (Polaris Project) received 40,000 reports in 2021, leading to 16,000 victims identified. 99% of trafficking investigations begin with a tip. Loaiza urges professionals in telecom to use their unique positioning to report suspicious activity. Whether working near a hotel, truck stop, or a suspicious residence, a simple call could change someone's life. Signs of Human Trafficking Telecom workers don't need to investigate but should be aware of warning signs, including: Individuals appearing fearful, submissive, or avoiding eye contact People restricted in movement, constantly monitored, or controlled Locations with high traffic at odd hours Signs of coercion, physical abuse, or malnourishment What To Do If You Suspect Trafficking Loaiza's key advice: Don't hesitate to report. Many people fear being wrong, but the greater risk is not reporting at all. Call the National Human Trafficking Hotline: 1-888-3737-888 Text “HELP” to 233733 Reports can be made anonymously, and law enforcement will handle the investigation—all it takes is one call to potentially save a life. Resources for Companies & Individuals For telecom companies looking to train staff or raise awareness, 3Strands offers free educational resources at 3sgf.org, including: ✔ Human Trafficking 101 Training ✔ Parent & Employee Awareness Modules ✔ Community Workshops & Legislative Advocacy "Small actions create big change," Loaiza said. "If we can educate telecom professionals and increase awareness, we can help prevent trafficking and protect vulnerable individuals." Telecom professionals are in the right places at the right times—now, they just need to know what to look for. Learn more at 3sgf.org. Thanks to Josh Loaiza for this eye-opening conversation!  

What You Can Do About Sex and Human Traffickers, A Big Problem. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms are integral parts of our lives. But did you know that these very platforms can also be exploited by human traffickers to groom and exploit victims? Human trafficking is a massive issue in America, and its intersection with digital spaces calls for urgent action. Check out and follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Ali Hopper is our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, you can listen to it as a free podcast on our website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or most major podcast platforms. Understanding the Problem: The Human Trafficking Crisis Human trafficking, including sex trafficking, is a heinous crime that robs victims of their freedom, dignity, and self-worth. Unlike many crimes of opportunity, traffickers deliberately target vulnerable individuals, often manipulating them into a cycle of abuse through lies, coercion, and violence. Sex trafficking victims, in particular, are treated as commodities, often exploited multiple times a day. Tragically, traffickers view their victims not as human beings but as “products” to be controlled and sold. What You Can Do About Sex and Human Traffickers, A Big Problem. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. How Traffickers Operate Traffickers employ a range of manipulative tactics: - Emotional Control: They often pose as romantic partners to gain trust. - Physical Domination: Victims are branded with tattoos, isolated from support systems, and subjected to violence. - Psychological Manipulation: Victims may be brainwashed into thinking there’s no way out, reinforcing their dependency on the trafficker. Alarmingly, traffickers use social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to identify and groom potential victims. LinkedIn has also been exploited for professional scams, and can unknowingly spread misinformation that facilitates trafficking networks. Listen to the interview as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets.

Make it make sense. Known pedophile, child porn distributor and trafficker Randy Volar is arrested by police in Kenosha, Wisc., in 2018. Hundreds of abuse videos of underage Black girls are found in his possession. He is released the same day without bond. Two months later, one of his victims, Chrystul Kizer, kills him. She's 17 and has been trafficked since she was 16. Last month, a Wisconsin judge sentenced her to 11 years behind bars. Her story is one of failures on all levels by society, adults and a system that did nothing to protect her.  After we tell Chrystul's story, we welcome on Kelly Diane Galloway, president and founding director of Project Mona's House, the only restorative shelter for survivors of human trafficking in the U.S. located in Buffalo, NY. This amazing woman has so much insight into helping us understand what what wrong here and why society is misunderstanding the nuances of trafficking. Because Chrystul is not alone — Cyntoia Brown, Pieper Lewis, Maryanne Atkins and just a few of the victims who chose to protect themselves from horrible men and were punished as a result.  As we mention in the episode, if you want to send your support to Chrystul, she's serving time at the Taycheedah Correctional Institution. You can send her letters to the address below, or visit penmateapp, which offers a few other options for sending mail to an inmate, like directly from your phone, for a small fee.

The conversation explores the topics of addiction, recovery, and the role of orthodoxy in addressing these issues. The guests discuss the rewiring of the brain in addiction, the genetic component of addiction, and the stigma surrounding substance use disorders. They also touch on the spiritual and emotional aspects of addiction and recovery. The conversation highlights the importance of awareness, early intervention, and support in addressing addiction. Addiction is not a new phenomenon, but the understanding and treatment of it have evolved over time. The conversation explores the importance of spirituality in recovery and the holistic approach to addiction treatment. The 12 steps of recovery are briefly discussed, highlighting the process of identifying the problem, accepting the solution, addressing the roots and causes, and helping others. The role of the body in recovery is emphasized, with the understanding that the body and spirit are interconnected. The compatibility between science and the Christian faith is also highlighted, particularly in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. In this part of the conversation, the focus is on the second and third steps of the 12-step program. The second step emphasizes the importance of believing in a power greater than oneself that can solve all problems. The discussion highlights the inclusivity of this step, allowing individuals to interpret the higher power in their own way. The third step involves making a decision to surrender one's will and life to the care of God as understood by the individual. The concept of surrendering and acknowledging one's weaknesses is compared to the Orthodox Christian faith. The importance of actively participating in the steps and the program of action is emphasized. In this final part of the conversation, the speakers discuss Step 4 and Step 5 of the recovery process. Step 4 involves making a searching and fearless moral inventory of oneself, which includes identifying resentments, fears, and harms caused to others. It is a challenging step that requires honesty and self-reflection. Step 5 involves admitting to God, oneself, and another human being the exact nature of one's wrongs. This step emphasizes accountability and the importance of sharing one's struggles with a trusted individual. The speakers highlight the parallels between these steps and the practice of confession in Orthodox Christianity. They emphasize the need for support and community in the recovery journey and encourage listeners to reach out for help.***********What role does spirituality play in overcoming addiction? This episode of Cloud Witnesses Radio brings this profound question to life through the heartfelt journeys of Dr. Daniel Ageza and David Carlson. Dr. Ageza, a renowned expert in addiction medicine and psychiatry, and David, a man who has maintained sobriety for a decade, offer their personal stories and professional insights.

Resources such as RAINN, National Sexual Assault Hotline, and Victim Connect Resource Center provide support and information for victims. Men can also play a role in preventing sexual violence by supporting organizations like Men Can Stop Rape.

Nevada, particularly Las Vegas, serves as a significant hub for human trafficking due to several factors. The state's thriving tourism industry, large events, and the presence of legalized prostitution in nearby areas create environments where traffickers can operate more easily. Las Vegas, known for its bustling nightlife and large conventions, attracts both traffickers and potential victims, making it a hotspot for such illicit activities.In 2024, Nevada had one of the highest rates of human trafficking in the United States. Reports indicate a substantial number of trafficking cases involving both sex and labor trafficking. The National Human Trafficking Hotline received numerous signals from Nevada, reflecting the ongoing issue. Key venues for sex trafficking include hotels, motels, illicit massage businesses, and online platforms. Labor trafficking is also present, albeit to a lesser extent, in areas such as domestic work and agriculture​.Efforts to combat human trafficking in Nevada involve coordinated actions by local law enforcement, non-governmental organizations, and federal agencies. Initiatives include raising awareness, providing support to victims, and strengthening legal frameworks to prosecute traffickers effectively. The Nevada Human Trafficking Coalition, established to enhance these efforts, continues to work towards reducing the prevalence of trafficking and supporting survivors​.(commercial at 30:24)To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.com Source:https://sierranevadaally.org/2021/01/21/nevadas-illegal-sex-industry-is-the-nations-largest-and-a-hub-for-sex-trafficking/

In this podcast, the voice of former FBI counterintelligence assistant director Frank Figliuzzi, in conversation with Overdrive News Editor Matt Cole's about his new book, "Long Haul: Hunting the Highway Serial Killers," a close look at the FBI's long look at almost 1,000 murders over decades collected and analyzed in its "Highway Serial Killings" database. As Cole writes in a story that will go live with the post containing this podcast on OverdriveOnline.com Monday, June 24, "This, for all of us, is a tough subject to broach. Why? The killings caught the attention of the FBI principally because they all had enough in common that investigators could confidently say they appeared to have been committed by truck drivers." Trucking professionals who pick up the book or listen to the podcast, furthemore, will have to get past the fact of Frank Figliuzzi's frequent shorthand use the often honorific term "trucker" in reference to various perpetrators of violence in-cab and elsewhere out along the highways. Reading the first parts of the book, Overdrive Radio host Todd Dills couldn't help but think, "over and over and over again, 'Man, Frank, did you ever consider calling these folks what they are? Killers, maybe.' Or: 'Quite disturbed steering wheel holders?' Deserving of the 'trucker' label they are not." At once, a big part ot Figliuzzi's engagement with the subject matter -- the book's dedicated in part to trucker generally -- is to emphasize on-highway pros' role combatting a central problem, namely sex trafficking, that leads to so many of the killings logged in the FBI's HSK database, many of them unsolved. Speaking directly to truckers, too, Figliuzzi hopes to inspire many to continue to be eyes and ears OTR, noting during the talk the Truckers Against Trafficking organization and all that organization's done to marshal working owner-operators and drivers against sex crimes and violence. The organization was in part instrumental in establishing and promoting to the industry the National Human Trafficking Hotline well more than a decade ago now -- a good point of contact to this day for reporting crimes in progress, things that just don't look right out on the road as well. That's 888-3737-888.

This founder is spilling all the tea about Silicon Valley… Kristin Johnson of Freespoke joins Erik Cabral in this episode as she pulls no punches about big tech's dirty secrets. From privacy violations and propaganda, to how certain sites target users - this woman is on a mission to expose it all.  This fearless woman is taking on the establishment with her ethical search startup. Don't miss her bombshell revelations about how corporations actually treat users. One listen and you'll see why she's shaking up the entire industry.  Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: The need for ethical technology and guardrails on data collection and use Exposing the harms of pornography and its links to human trafficking  Providing a full, unbiased view of information beyond one perspective Episode Highlights: [08:54] The Impact of Pornography  Kristin shares alarming statistics during the conversation that helped catalyze Freespoke's stance against pornography. She notes data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline showing it is the third most common form of sex trafficking after illicit massage parlors and escort services. Additionally, Kristin mentions a New York Times article describing over half of online pornographic images involve the exploitation of children. With over 36 million tips received in a single year by the National Center on Missing and Exploited Children's cyber tip line regarding online child abuse, Freespoke was motivated to become a pornography-free search platform to safeguard users, particularly minors, from inadvertently encountering such harmful material. [26:03] The Founding of Freespoke Kristin discusses how observing bias and censorship in other search engines inspired her to establish Freespoke. She focuses on respecting user privacy by limiting data collection and profiling. Kristin's goal: To enhance the search experience through comprehensive, unbiased results presented without manipulation for advertising purposes. This user-centric approach has remained core to Freespoke's alternative search model. [35:06] The Need for Accountability in Big Tech Kristin agrees that current ad-based business models often prioritize increasing engagement and data harvesting over delivering high-quality, accurate information. She notes these incentives can spread misinformation as companies focus on growth above all else. Kristin advocates for oversight and accountability of these companies' data practices. She believes competition from alternatives like Freespoke is crucial, as it treats individuals ethically while aiming to provide comprehensive results. Kristin hopes Freespoke can help drive positive reform within the industry by demonstrating a consumer-centric model that values people over profits.  Resources Mentioned: Freespoke Article: The Children of Pornhub Entrepreneurs Circle podcast is an On Air Brands production.

TAKEAWAYSThe human trafficking triangle is comprised of three cycling points: buyer (demand), trafficker, and victim (supply)Call the National Human Trafficking Hotline if you suspect someone is being trafficked and victimized 1-888-373-7888Traffickers who build relationships with their victims make it much harder for the abused parties to escape or report a crimeHuman traffickers are very observant and will watch and build relationships with someone before exploiting them later

Human trafficking is commonly referred to as a modern-day form of slavery, and is a crime that effects every community. The United States government defines trafficking as “the use of force, fraud, or coercion to compel a person into commercial sex acts or labor or services against his or her will. In today's episode guest, Elle Ladebu, shares Rescue Her's mission and vision, the dangers of pornography and it's influence in the rise of sex trafficking as well as how you and I can help combat this issue.  ___________________The United Nations estimate that over 30 million people worldwide are trafficked for forced labor, sexual exploitation, or organ harvesting. According to some estimates, approximately 79% of trafficking involves sexual exploitation, and 18% involves labor exploitation. Human trafficking and forced labor is a $150 billion crime worldwide, and is fueled by buyers who pay traffickers to supply victims to meet their demand. Buyers are commonly employed men with enough disposable income to engage in these activities, which typically cost from $15 to over $1,000 USD.”  Support Rescue Her: https://www.rescueher.org/give Resources mentioned:National Human Trafficking Hotline: https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en/human-traffickingPolaris Project: https://polarisproject.org/human-trafficking/Defend Young Minds: https://www.defendyoungminds.com/Good Pictures, Bad Pictures: https://www.defendyoungminds.com/booksOur app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rescue-her/id6475563861 Elle Ladebu:Website: https://www.ellemariah.com/(Un)Faithful: https://www.ellemariah.com/Today's Sponsor:EveryLife — the only premium baby brand that is unapologetically pro-life.

Members of the Yurok Tribe told California lawmakers that state's first year using an alert system specifically for missing Native people is making a difference. The Feather Alert system issues public messages similar to the widely used the Amber Alert process. Yurok officials say the new alerts are widely used by tribal members and other Native residents, increasing the chances of finding people who go missing. The California effort is one of the tools in the constant battle against human trafficking that disproportionately affects Native Americans and other people of color.

What does a human trafficker look like? We might picture wealthy men whose greed has destroyed whatever decency they may have once had. But in reality, that person may look like someone you already know.    Welcome to another episode of The Unlovely Truth. I'm your host, private investigator Lori Morrison. Join me for another captivating true crime story, where physical, spiritual, and emotional safety takeaways are waiting for us. If you are listening, I believe you have a unique calling—to become a different kind of PI, not a typical private investigator, but a person of impact!   This is Season5, Episode 1. This week we are going to investigate stories from the book "In Our Backyard: Human Trafficking in America and What We Can Do to Stop It”, by Nita Belles. She began studying human trafficking while working on a master's degree and hasn't stopped since. In her book, she shares countless stories of this evil and how we might bring some light in this very dark and very often misunderstood evil.  Close your eyes for a minute, and draw a picture in your mind of what a human trafficker looks like. I'll bet you saw a man, dressed in dark clothes, very menacing looking. What if I told you that the trafficker in the first case I want to share with you was a confident and fashionable teenage girl? If your son or daughter or grandchild were being exploited, wouldn't you try to move heaven and earth to stop it? The victims whose stories I shared today and thousands of others like them are someone's son or daughter or grandchild. I hope you'll get a copy of this book to hear more stories and learn more ways you can help.   Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIrV   Two people are better than one. They can help each other in everything they do.  Suppose either of them falls down. Then the one can help the other one up. But suppose a person falls down and doesn't have anyone to help them up. Then feel sorry for that person!  Or suppose two people lie down together. Then they'll keep warm. But how can one person keep warm alone? One person could be overpowered. But two people can stand up for themselves. And a rope made out of three cords isn't easily broken.   We've all seen those videos where a predator approaches a herd of some sweet, innocent animals. It's so stressful to wonder which one is being targeted. Then you see it. It's the one off to the side, all by itself. If one of the other members of the herd doesn't try to help it, that animal's chances of survival are very slim.    Are we really so different? When we look out for each other, when we work together, and when we care for each other, life goes so much better for us. Predators, of course, don't like that. They prefer to isolate us, or better yet, for us to isolate each other.    Let's make 2024 the year we work together, for our good, the good of our families, and our communities. If you've been putting off getting involved in serving people who have been impacted by crime, remember that two are better than one! Convince a friend to join you so you each feel safe and confident in your new avenue of serving God by serving others. Together we can and should make a difference.    Let me know what you think!

She never used to sleepwalk, but maybe that's what happens when you hit your 30s? Her life was spiraling out of control because of it. She woke up one morning dangling off the side of 4th-floor balcony. She had no idea how she even got there. She could have seriously hurt herself or even died… she was just thankful he was there to save her. Or that time she woke up covered in blood. He told her that he found her roaming around at night, in a daze, with a knife in her hand. He thinks she murdered someone… She started panicking. That's exactly what he wanted. If history had taught him anything, it was that she was close. Close to taking her own life. He wanted to break her.
