ABC news reporter pleads guilty to sex trafficking and pedophilia charges involving infants. He had a disturbing fantasy of impregnating a woman to sexually abuse the child at birth. This reporter was also connected to the Pizzagate controversy, which raises questions about his personal involvement. The media's silence on this story is concerning, especially considering their tendency to label others as conspiracy theorists. If the situation involved a Republican, it would have been widely publicized. Thankfully, social media prevents these issues from being swept under the rug.

Over the past decade, I have been targeted for reporting on Benghazi by organizations like Media Matters for America. These NGOs, funded by taxpayers, aim to silence and punish those who speak out against them. They operate under the guise of combating disinformation but actually censor and intimidate journalists, scientists, and doctors. This misuse of taxpayer money is essentially a death sentence for those who dare to challenge them. It is time for us to stop funding our own oppression. Thank you for sharing your experience, miss Logan.

Laura Logan states that people want doctors to practice medicine and journalists to report the truth, not be activists. She says divisions may be real, but are nothing compared to what unites people. Logan says, "We, the people, we've had enough," and states, "We don't want your chemtrails. We don't want your chemicals. We don't want your cis circle vaccines. We don't need them." She regrets vaccinating her children and would not do it if she were a parent today. She adds that people haven't even touched on pediatric pharmaceuticals and the amphetamines that they're feeding children, which inhibit their appetite and affect their mental state. Logan says people are done with being lied to, manipulated, and deceived. She calls on every person to understand that there is a moment to take down this system, which is bigger than partisan politics. She concludes that people must stand up when it counts and not live in fear, because together, there's nothing "they" can do.

The two speakers discuss the media coverage surrounding a high-profile case. The second speaker says the media coverage has been absolutely unfair and biased. They’ve done many interviews and are reaching a point where they won’t do them anymore, trusting the media less. They note a preference for live interviews because edited pieces distort their message. A concrete example is CBC’s Karen Pauls: she interviewed Russ Harald, Sudhoo, and several families who forgave. The second speaker claims Harald told them Pauls didn’t include half of what he said, and that she did the same to Andrea and Shauna Nordstrom (Logan Hunter’s mother). They allege that Nordstroms were given a bit part in a story that portrayed the subject as loving and forgiving, downplaying negative aspects, making it seem like the subject was sympathetic. The second speaker claims Karen Pauls twisted the narrative, and contends that much of the media has done this. Consequently, they’ve declined numerous interviews and no longer trust mainstream media regarding this story. The second speaker adds that there are people with no vested interest who want to express approval or forgiveness to feel good about themselves and to allow the subject to stay in the country. They contrast this with others who are deported for other offenses, such as those who steal $5,000 cars and are permanent residents who get deported. They have listened in on immigration and refugee board hearings to learn more about the process. They claim that because the case is so prominent, some people want to excuse the subject, even if it means allowing criminals or poor drivers to stay, thereby harming the system. The first speaker asks what precedent would be set if the subject were allowed to stay in Canada. The second speaker replies that it would imply that 16 lives mean nothing and questions how many people one would have to kill to be deported, underscoring the idea that the mere possibility of killing someone is central to the debate. They insist that raising the question of whether the person killed anyone is itself “crazy.”

The speaker recounts an undercover operation in Cartagena involving 27 children, detailing a delayed sting operation where traffickers nearly exposed the children to drugs. To stall, the speaker feigned interest in a business plan for a resort catering to sex tourism, inadvertently creating a viable plan due to the willingness of wealthy individuals to pay for such activities. The sting eventually occurred, leading to arrests. The speaker describes a transformative moment seeing an 11-year-old girl with tear-stained makeup, which motivated a commitment to fighting child trafficking. Since then, the speaker has participated in over 70 undercover rescue missions in 15 countries, helping rescue over 5,000 children. One particularly difficult mission in Haiti involved rescuing 34 children from a level-three trafficker. The speaker recalls finding a 14-year-old girl who had been trafficked since age seven after her parents died in an earthquake. The girl was found in a cell with a steel plank bed and a concrete block, and didn't speak for two weeks after being rescued.

The transcript centers on a documentary-like investigation into child trafficking, including the sale of babies for organs and for prostitution, and the operational mechanics of trafficking rings in Europe. - The conversation opens with a debate about the worst fate for a child, with pedophilia deemed the “worst option,” but there is a tension about judging a parent who might sell their child. The speakers acknowledge they want to remove a problem and question the significance of the child’s fate. - A narrator explains encountering a girl willing to sell her child to a brothel or as an organ donor, and aims to save her while documenting the process. The girl was relocated from a criminal environment to a different town, but remained controlled by an agent who wanted to sell her child. The sale is described as foiled by the COVID-19 pandemic and border restrictions. - When the pregnancy is discovered, the pregnant young woman seeks a solution and believes she cannot keep the child, framing it as the best possible decision under the circumstances. The trafficking network involves a well-known criminal underworld contact who is told there is a child for sale and who can help. - The interview reveals that in Germany, small children are sometimes held with a family until age three or four and then sent to a brothel. The sale of a newborn can be arranged so the mother signs the child trafficker in as the father, who then takes the baby abroad, making it hard for authorities to trace the child as “officially somewhere in Europe with its father.” - Emotional attachment to the baby is discussed; one participant reports no emotional attachment, focusing on practicality. The fear of life being over with a child is framed as slavery, constant care, and sleepless nights, highlighting the practical burdens rather than affection. - On profitability, the mother emphasizes selling a child for organs yields high returns, whereas selling for a brothel is considered in terms of possible cash, with initial offers around 50,000 to 150,000, sometimes 80,000 euros, though later deemed possibly a scam using Polish zloty. - The liver is cited as a high-demand organ, valued around 70,000 euros, with the heart valued similarly, and other organs like the retina also in demand. The ads and market dynamics are discussed, including portals like “Sperm donors, let's make babies,” where ads from women wanting to give away or sell their children appear; a mother posts an ad for money, receiving responses from families and recognizing banners that target young girls. - The interview reveals a chilling willingness to commodify the child; the mother states she cares about her own child above the others and expresses disbelief in divine punishment for such acts. She gives the baby the name Marcelina, while another participant has not named the unborn child. - The trafficking network’s operation is described in detail: a broker coordinates with a German or Dutch ring, with multiple brothels and a system of drugs to control child victims. A child is described as moving through stages—from adoption into a family, to a brothel around age four, to a larger network, with frequent sexual abuse but regulated intervals of activity to avoid overdose. The children are kept largely indoors within brothels, sometimes allowed limited outdoor access under supervision, and often suffer severe social and psychological consequences. - A separate account details the recruitment and identification of pregnant victims, the length of stay in brothels, and the eventual fate of children who do not adapt to mainstream life, highlighting how the organized rings operate with surgical precision and a global scope.

John "Tig" Tiegen - The Haunting Truth About Delta Force’s Actions in Benghazi | SRS #235
Guests: John "Tig" Tiegen
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Survival starts early in Tig Tiegen’s story, a life forged in hardship and a fierce drive to protect others. Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and raised in Colorado, he endured abuse from a babysitter, a violent stepfather, and unstable guardians. By mid‑teens he’d left home to live with a friend’s family, then with a stripper, then with another relative, all while working and watching the world in motion. The Marine Corps drew him in as a lifeline, and by 1995 he began a path that would shape private security and the Benghazi story. Enlisting in the Marines, he rose to squad leader within two years, earned a reputation for leadership, and later pursued infantry and urban warfare training. After discharge, he entered private security, first through contracting roles in Iraq and Afghanistan, then joining Blackwater and finally the CIA’s Global Response Staff. He describes the shift from gate guard work to direct‑action missions, including time with GRS in Afghanistan and Libya, where he helped open a CIA compound and later deployed to Benghazi for intensified operations around the embassy and the annex. The September 11, 2012 siege in Benghazi stands as the crucible of his career, where a stand‑down order and frantic improvisation collided with a firefight that stretched across hours. Tig recounts briefing Ambassadors and security teams, pulling together improvised weaponry, and racing to the consulate when operators were told to hold position. He describes crawling through smoke, tending to wounded— including Delta operators— and witnessing the collapse of the compound as mortars rained down. The mission ended with evacuations to Tripoli and a dramatic return to the United States. Back home, he navigated medical aftershocks, survivor memories, and a public reckoning over the book and film that chronicled Benghazi. He co-authored 13 Hours and later faced disputes with fellow operators over portrayals and awards, including debates about stand‑down and medals. He remarried, became active in veteran causes, and ran for mayor of Colorado Springs, arguing for accountability, local leadership, and police–community partnership. He champions resilience, telling his children to persevere and stay faithful, while continuing to wrestle with the costs and responsibilities of a life spent in conflict.
