The most effective lies are always mixed with a whole lot of truth.

Many of the people involved Human Trafficking networks hide

In Plain Sight, as

‘Fine Upstanding Members of the Community.’

These people may also do good deeds in the community.

Many have built their entire public persona around this identity.

They love to appear as

‘Community-Minded,’ Moral, and ‘Helpful’ People and Organisations.

They believe (often correctly) that these carefully crafted facades,

place them beyond suspicion or reproach,

and rely on regular people to not look any deeper.

A very common Modus Operandi of Human Traffickers is to offer ‘Help’.

This 'help' is not genuine help,

and is designed to acheive a specific outcome or is not enough ‘help’ to actually allow the victim to escape from the trafficking situation.

The pretense of being 'helpful'

allows the trafficker to justify being close to the victim

whilst appearing 'philanthropic' and beyond suspicion of wrongdoing.

This ‘help’ or ‘concern’ is often designed to put the victim

in even more danger,

Or it may simply prevent the victim

From using their time and energy to seek real help elsewhere.

Traffickers ‘help’ just enough so that

no one can accuse them of not helping.

whilst not acknowledging or helping the victim

with the actual danger they are in at all.

This is a particularly insidious and sadistic form

of ‘strategic’ or

‘Weaponised Incompetence’.

It is easier to think that this sort of thing only happens in Hollywood,

Third-World Countries

or in the ‘Underbelly’ of our Communities.

It is Difficult for People to Face the Truth:

These networks include

Neighbours, Shopkeepers, Local Policemen, the Unemployed

Mechanics, Pastors, Teachers,

Council Members & Grey Nomads.

Human Traffickers could be Anyone at All.

Most people completely underestimate

how vast these networks are

and would be completely horrified and traumatised

if they did know.
