A letter received by Micheal

Dear America,

The following letter is not an easy one to write, as the subject matter covers some of the most heinous crimes humanity can commit. Unfortunately, turning a blind eye to it does not make it go away. It is all too real, all too prevalent - and if not addressed, we as a society enable this horrible evil to continue - I refuse to let it continue.

The past five months, I’ve been working with some of the most talented investigative researchers in the world on identifying and exposing members of a network online centered around pedophilia. This network, spread across several websites over several years, and had 8,000 members at its peak.

Fortunately, the founder of the website was caught - unfortunately he was caught in the midst of kidnapping a child across the country. The founder eventually died in jail - problem solved right? Absolutely not.

This particular issue shares parallels to the infamous Jeffery Epstein case - where the person who appears to have been the facilitator of a child exploitation ring is caught, put in jail and then subsequently dies in jail - and then people move on from the issue.

The problem is it’s still there. When one leader goes down, another one forms; taking the reins and coercing and manipulating people and children to join their sick twisted world of depravity.

It’s important to note that as we’ve seen in recent months, particularly in the movie Sound of Freedom, child sex trafficking is a very harsh reality - using large cargo ships and other various transportation to trade children for sex all around the world. A very sad reality that puts every industry into question. However, this is not their only method of running child exploitation enterprises.

Predators now use the digital landscape on the open web to lure children from websites everybody uses like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to prey on young, vulnerable children and invite them into their sick depraved networks online.

Even more alarming, Meta (parent company to Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp) came under fire in 2023 for having algorithms that not only allowed pedophile contents to stay up on their platforms, but even enabled and encouraged pedophiles seeking this content to more easily navigate their platforms to find it.

If these Big Tech companies are fully equipped to remove ideas they deem to be thought crimes, even labeling those ideas as “misinformation,” don’t they have the capability to remove that content and remove algorithms to help predators easily find it?

To deny this problem exists, we are essentially giving consent and providing these predators the opportunity to freely target and exploit children.

I am happy to say that I have not witnessed any images of sexually exploited children, but I’ve seen real individuals boast about their efforts to obtain these images. I’ve seen people boast about sexually exploiting children themselves. I’ve seen people coordinate trades for images and videos of sexually exploited children. I’ve seen the coded language they use to discuss children and images of their sexual exploitation. I’ve seen people try to rationalize their urges. I’ve read horror stories about these escapades. I’ve met the people who boasted, and I am continuing my path of exposing them to the world.

Why?

Because exposure, and the fear of exposure - will hopefully cease their efforts of preying on the most vulnerable members of our society - small children.

Young ones deserve an opportunity of life, free of predators who wish to exploit them for their own sick urges. These young ones should not have to live in fear, and it is up to us as a society to be aware of this growing problem as a means of preventing the harm of these children.

Whether it’s the elites who are engaged in child exploitation rings, the people who facilitate these rings, or those who are just beginning to join them - they must be revealed to the world so we can all work together to end this plague to our world.

Thank you, America,

Michael
