  • Kathryn Bolkovac discussed her story on Thursday, January 31, 2013, on human trafficking, and other topics with Tanya Domi, whose reporting broke this story.
    When former Nebraska police officer Kathryn Bolkovac was recruited by DynCorp International to support the UN peacekeeping mission in Bosnia, she thought she was signing up to help rebuild a war-torn country. But once she arrived in Sarajevo, as a human rights investigator heading the gender affairs unit, she discovered military officers involved in human trafficking and forced prostitution, with links to private mercenary contractors, the UN, and the U.S. State Department. After bringing this evidence to light, Bolkovac was successively demoted, threatened with bodily harm, fired, and ultimately forced to flee the country under cover of darkness-bringing the incriminating documents with her. Thanks to the evidence she collected, she won a lawsuit against DynCorp, publicly exposing their human rights violations. Her story, recounted in the book The Whistleblower: Sex Trafficking, Military Contractors, and One Woman's Fight for Justice, later become the Hollywood feature film The Whistleblower.

    I just finished watching the Whistleblower movie hoping this wasn’t factual. Now I’m even more upset that it was. I’m so grateful to this person.

      If we knew 10% of the evil that's in the world, we would not want to live. I just finished watching the movie Whistleblower too. It reminded me of another similar older movie called Serpico, fraud in police depts.

    What these women did was/is great and important and worth a ton of praise. But despite their efforts, it barely put a dent in things. All of their hard work went relatively unsung because the media didn't put the kind of focus such a thing really needs, therefor the masses are overwhelmingly unaware of what happened and is still happening. Just because the UN and dyncorp got caught doesn't mean what they were doing ENDED. No doubt other entities, contractor/governmental and everything in between, took over their human trafficking biz because it's very lucrative.
    They used actual human beings, who experienced one of, if not THE, worst kind of suffering, all to make secret money. What's done with this money? Probably it is used for endeavors similar to those made known in the Iran Contra scandal.
    I also am convinced that sex slaves are used to entrap influential sorts, politicians in particular. Especially child sex slaves. Since there's nothing more reviled than a pedophile, I can see them arranging for some scumbag politician to rape a child in a hotel room, or someone's house, that's been rigged with hidden cameras to capture it all, then threatening to use the footage if the democrat OR republican (neither side is innocent of this type of crime) doesn't say and do what they want them to.
    Hell, I imagine they can even get a normal person, who's not a pedophile or sexual deviant, to do their bidding by drugging them and staging a scene. Like if after that drug the man (or woman) they strip them naked and then put them in bed with a naked child and take a few pics.
    Whether or not it's an actual pedophile, or just some poor schmuck who gets framed, matters little to these "shadow government" types, so long as they can deliver visual proof of child rape to the law and the press. It would explain an awful lot about why our elected officials work against the people.
    5-10 years ago I trusted the government to do the right thing most of the time. I accepted that there would be some "bad apples" here and there, but that overall the system wasn't too bad. But since then I've become completely distrustful of the government and just about every other institution.
    I'm not a flat earther, I don't believe in reptilian overlords or ANY of that *stupid* shit, but would still be considered a "conspiracy theorist" by the majority. There's a lot I used to scoff at that I now understand to be the sad reality, so apologies to those people who tried to show me stuff, only for me to dismiss them as paranoid.
    Knowledge is indeed power, but it's not enough if it's just a handful of earth's population who are awakened. The BLM riots are proof that a huge amount of people are still thoroughly deceived. It's not just the size of the crowds seen "peacefully protesting" but also people who support what's going on.
    So yeah, governments, government contractors and NGOs worldwide are trafficking weapons, drugs, human beings, human organs, human CHILDREN and there's no end in site. They wield almost absolute power over all of us. They've got us preoccupied with crippling debt, disease, Video games, porno, the list goes on. And they've also got us fighting amongst ourselves when we should be fighting against THEM. But since the mass multimedia is basically just their propaganda wing, most people are too bamboozled to do what needs done. It's extremely depressing. Situation is most definitely hopeless.
