Cover for international child trade
The enormous scale of international child trade requires complex multilayer criminal cover at various levels of authority, from police officers and social workers to special forces and political lobbies.

Failed “baby-box” experiment in Germany: every fifth child left in “baby-box” vanished without a trace
By Maxim Zhilenkov and Vitaliy Kanunnikov. REGNUM
Watching the discussions about “baby-boxes,” one cannot help but wondering about the reason of such intense “baby-box” promotion that is happening right now in Russia. “Baby-boxes” are an alien idea to Russian mentality and were already proved unsuccessful abroad.

Presidents of the United States are not elected – presidents of the United States are appointed.

The Overton Window Theory: Technology of Destruction
We are led to believe that all of progressive humanity quite naturally accepts gays and sexual minorities at large: accepts their subculture, their right to marriage, their right to adopt children, and the right to popularize their sexual orientation in schools and preschools.
