Sex, rape & slaves inserted in sick holiday menu

Sex, rape & slaves inserted in sick holiday menu

Outbound travel has been hit hard this year by such factors as the war on Iraq and the SARS outbreak, but plenty of Japanese have headed overseas on underground tours involving sex, slavery and savagery, according to Tokusatsu Shinsengumi.

Japanese used to their peaceful lives in their sheltered archipelago would be horrified to learn what goes on in developing countries.

Many overseas travelers are on the lookout for something new and, in poorer parts of the world, they're likely to find locals willing to supply them with illegal options to their tours provided the price is right.

Take Indonesia, the magazine suggests as an example.

Considerable criticism was leveled at Japanese men taking sex tours several years ago, but instead of declining in the wake of the furor, the number of such travelers is apparently on the rise.

A crackdown on schoolgirl prostitution in Japan has created strong demand among Rising Suns for underage prostitutes in other countries.

"Indonesia's government shut down Jakarta's brothels, which led to an increase in the number of women working the streets. You've got jobless women down to even little homeless children prostituting themselves," a journalist well versed in Asian prostitution tells Tokusatsu Shinsengumi. "The greatest reason is undoubtedly the country's poverty."

For Japanese men sick of plying professionals, there are always the rape brokers of Vietnam - touts who'll apparently drag a woman off the streets so a Japanese man can violate her.

"I was walking alone through a market when this guy about 40 came up to me and, in broken Japanese, started saying, 'woman, woman.' I thought he was talking about prostitutes, so I told him I didn't need him, but he wouldn't go away. He turned to me and told me I could rape her. I asked him for more details and he said he'd kidnap any girl I pointed out and let me rape her," a 32-year-old man who traveled to Vietnam last year tells Tokusatsu Shinsengumi. "I was terrified. I ran away from him as soon as I could."

In Ecuador, Japanese can, according to the men's weekly, hunt for children in a different manner as they are armed with a rifle and permitted to track down a youth let loose in the jungle. About 10 Japanese have so far taken part in the tours, with only three getting a shot off at their target and no fatalities reported.

Japanese are tapping into the underground in European countries, too. Belarus attracts a monthly gathering of people from all over the world for its sickening slave auctions.

"I'm what you'd call a broker. My job is to buy people (in Belarus) and sell them all over the world. Buyers are the types you'd expect, doctors, politicians and the like. Belarus has its underground slavery companies. They have a monthly auction in poor villages. Young men, women, children and even the middle-aged are auctioned off," an unnamed man tells Tokusatsu Shinsengumi. "Belarussian women are beautiful, so they sell for a high price. Higher than you'd imagine. Basically, the younger they are, the better price they command. Let's face it, they can be enjoyed for longer, right?

"You'd be surprised how few of them are worried about being sold. Some of the women say they'd rather be a slave in a rich person's home than stay on in the poverty of their village. I've imported five Belarussian women into Japan."

Africa, a continent ravaged for centuries by slavery, continues to be blighted by the most evil of trades even today.

"Customers are looking for something different these days, right? Eastern Europeans or South Americans just aren't good enough any more. So, I decided to get myself some black women. A coordinator I know told me about the slave auctions in Africa and asked if I was interested in taking part. The coordinator's job is to bring foreign women to Japan. He said he was going to the auction again. I thought it looked interesting, so decided to tag along with him," the operator of an Osaka bordello tells Tokusatsu Shinsengumi. "It was held in Kenya. They brought out over a dozen young men and women and lined 'em all up in front of us like they were products. I asked who they were and was told they were all people badly in debt. Just looking at what was going on, I couldn't possibly buy anybody. I came home empty handed, but I've heard of sex businesses in Japan that use slaves. If they ever got picked up, there'd be an almighty uproar."

I wonder how many missing children in the good ol USA wind up overseas as slaves? Especially the young college girls who go missing and are probably not the victim of a parent grab over a custody battle.

It's one of the main reasons I taught my daughter to handle a gun at the age of ten. Now she's 22, engaged and carries a Ruger SP101 DAO .357 magnum in a strongside holster. She has the skills and she has the tactical sense. Now, I'm working on bringing her fiance up to speed, too. His dad is retired Naval Intel. The kid will do just fine.

Joel 3:1-3 The Nations Judged
1 "In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. 3 They cast lots for my people and traded boys for prostitutes; they sold girls for wine that they might drink.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 Godlessness in the Last Days
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

We are less than 1000 years from the middle ages and only 2000 years from before Jesus Christ and only 150 years from when it was legal to own slaves in the USA. Has our biology changed so much in that short a time that our animal side is gone ? Probably not.

Thanks for sharing your story. So many woman are raised to be afraid of guns (even if they're the one carrying it!).

They don't consider that a pistol and good instructor, will help them a lot more than any "self defense kickboxing class" than they sign up for.

This kind of evil and depravity, and probably much worse, has always been in the world. The questionh is not "What's this world coming to?" ... the question is, "When will we decide to change it for the better?"

"You are not required to complete the task of repairing the world, neither are you free to abstain from it." ___ Pirke Avot

For those who wish to try to stop sex slavery and trafficking this is a very good organization.

Japanese culture can be very strange and very, very sick. They only outlawed child pornography about five years ago. Before then, it was perfectly legal. Men would read it on the subways and everyone was expected to just look away and give them their zone of privacy (because that's what people do in Japan).

This is happening in other areas too. PBS aired a special about the Chinese taking South Koreans, and there were some missionary organizations that were going to the Chinese to buy the victims back.

Once again, the UN is not a humane organization.

".....the question is this on the UN's radar?"


The terrible answer is that the UN's approach to sex slaves is to call them "sex workers" and to try to "rationalize" the sex "industry."

No surprise really in an "enlightened" organization dominated by moral relativists.

By the way, if so much of the world had not fallen into the grip of these same enlightened socialists there would be much less of the extreme poverty that makes these horrors possible.

When I was stationed in Sasebo during the early 80's I realized the Japs were sexually advanced because of the porn shown openly on their cafe TV systems. And this was not only the case in "Sailor Town". It was the way all over.

At any time during the day, porn would be up on the screens and the patrons would watch as they conversed. Even white shirted/blue plaid skirted young school girls would watch as they ate their yakisoba(sp) after school.

Quite the country Japan was/is.

This is going to sound bigoted but is not meant to be.
When I first moved to Michigan, I was warned to turn the car around quickly and get out of anywhere the street signs turned to only Arabic. This was 1997. They said my little one's blonde curls are an easy target and girl children have gone into this community and never come back out. A long time (non-white) resident near Dearborn told me this.

"Commendable. Can she cook too?"

Not only is she a great cook, she would be just as happy being a "stay-at-home" mom, helping her man form a successful career by hosting parties, etc. Since they're both so young, she already has a career working as a manager in her field....at a major women's clothing chain. This suits my wife just fine, she can get top of the line clothes and shoes and all that stuff...at super discounts. LOL But make no mistake, my lil darlin' daughter has said that given the opportunity, she will chuck it all for her man and her family. Like for example, if her husband is given a great job opportunity in another state, she's giving her notice to her job...no if's and's or but's. NOW, did we do a good job raising this gal, or what? OH and she did sorority sketches in college as a double for Brittany Spears without the morals problems! Yep...I'm a braggin' DAD!

Do you think the DOJ knows about this? Do you think they want to know about it? Do you think they really care? All those milk cartons with pictures of American kids who are missing all over the U.S. -- maybe they are in Muslim sex brothels? If the authorities know about the sex trade, why don't they do something about it? Instead, they give lip service to politically correct 'diversity talk' and turn their backs on the problem. A better choice would be to run stings on those Muslim sex traders and clean up the whole country. Starting with Michigan.

I agree with you.
If ever I traveled to Dearborn, off the main highway, I would cover my daughter's head and my own. I was never sure what would happen but did not want to take any chances. Maybe nothing, but who knows.
Let's face it, along with missing kids are youngsters who run away at 12 or 13. Boys or Girls can be sex slaves. And my hubby wonders why I don't let the girls out of my sight.

In all likelihood, there an NGO, funded though the UN by even us, in charge of scouting talent for the UN members guests. Jobs. BJs. "Its for the children."

Our disappeared school age girls and boys, coeds, and more don't have to be shipped overseas to become useful for entertainment then inconvenient to keep alive or even in one piece. Evil's harvest.

This predation is the most Godless crime I can imagine. It is one on one. The victim knows. Fresh meat by the thousands upon thousands until counting is impossible, every year.

Sexual predation upon the defenseless is the ultimate art of bullying. "Put some ice on it."

Quite a lot of them. I had a fellow reservist who was a cop telling me that in Virginia Beach and down in Florida, white slavers have a lucrative system worked out. The trick is to get a girl to go out on your boat with you. Then get her 12 miles out, into international waters. Then meet at the rendezvous place. Easy as pie.

I am very familiar with Dearborn, Henry Ford's home town. Things have really slid down hill in the last decade for sure. Just a few blocks over in East Dearborn is Detroit. Not a nice neighborhood either.

On my last visit to Dearborn and the greater Detroit metro area, I went downtown Detroit's Greek Town for some great food. It was disturbing to see Sheriff's officers walking beats in groups of five and six officers downtown more for the officers' saftey than anything else. (They confidentially told me this when I asked.)

Exactly. This "story" brings out my old journalist's cynicism -- especially after reading the disclaimer at the end of the piece which won't vouch for its accuracy. The newsroom motto used to be: "Don't trust what anybody tells you, including your Mother. Check everything out."

Some of this stuff may really be happening. Slavery is certainly an ongoing business in many parts of the world and it needs a lot more attention than it's getting. And it's no secret that Japanese sexual mores are plenty kinky with a seriously unhealthy focus on rape and violence. But this story is so loosely sourced and based on hearsay I have a problem accepting it as it stands.

The problem is that you generally need to be 18 or 21 to qualify for a CCW. This is why I had my 14-yo daughter trained in knife fighting and made sure she carries one wherever she goes. A bad guy generally will not expect a suburban teen girl to be armed

"This is why I had my 14-yo daughter trained in knife fighting"

Yeah, I had a couple of my buddies drop by the house when they came home on block leave from their SOCOM assignment at MacDill AFB. They showed my daughter a few of the nastiest down and dirty street KILLING techniques I've ever seen. She was about 14 then as well. I'm not talking martial arts here... This was stuff she could learn once, never practice it and will work the first time she really commits to a strike. We made sure she understood just what she was doing and what were the consequences to her attacker, lest she use them and not be really needing them. She still thanks those guys, and me for those lessons.

Let's not forget that rape itself has only been outlawed in Japan for about twenty years. When Japanese women first went into the workplace it was common to suffer rape at the hands of employers and coworkers. Also, there is still a comicbook character over there called "RAPEMAN" can you guess what his superpowers consist of?

In all my travels, I have never met a more racist group than the Japanese. They are certainly not our friends.
While in College I was nearly attacked by a large group of Japanese exhange students (men). I was on my second date with a beautiful Japanese woman (also an exchange student), and they did not like it at all. I had just dropped her off at the dorm when they poured out of the building. Needless to say this Native Texan had the situation under control...especially when my Colt Combat Commander made its presence known.

Pearl Harbor. They may think we have forgiven them, but we should never forget.

There is currently a movement by the Japanese to rid themselves of our presence. They are also still involved in industrial espionage. I believe the CIA came out with another report of this in 2001.
