Cannibalism LIVE on CNN: Muslim Writer And CNN Reporter Eats Human Brains

Reza Aslan is a famous Muslim American writer and journalist for CNN. In a recent documentary where he was spending time with the “aghoris,” which are a Hindu death-worshipping cult that feasts on human remains and surrounds themselves with death, he was given a piece of human brain to eat. Aslan picked up the cooked brains, ate it, and then said on CNN camera ‘It tastes like charcoal’:

In an episode of Believer, a six-part CNN series on spirituality, US religious scholar Reza Aslan meets with the Aghori, a nomadic Hindu sect in India.

The interview went south and one of the mystics turned nasty

The group believes that nothing can taint the human body and rejects the Hindu caste system, which deems certain groups of people untouchable.

After Aslan has bathed in the sacred Ganges river, an Aghori scholar smears the ashes of a cremated body on his face and he is given alcohol served in a human skull.

Then he is given a piece of burned human brain and eats it, reports the Washington Post.

He said: “Want to know what a dead guy’s brain tastes like? Charcoal.”

He added: “It was burnt to a crisp!” (source)

There is speculation by some that the aghori, who became mad at Aslan and later threatened to cut his head off as they were throwing their own feces at him. That is ultimately besides the point, because it does not matter what “culture” anybody is in- there is something naturally and viscerally wrong with cannibalism. There is something seriously wrong with Anybody who would anybody that by freedom of choice would engage in cannibalism.

This man- who would say that drinking alcohol and eating pork is something dirty, sinful, and bad and be banned- just ate a piece of another human being and then bragged about it on a major television show.

But is this really a surprise at all?

Something that people do not want to talk about is the fact that Islam permits cannibalism, but in spite of this shoebat.com has been at the forefront of documenting through articles and photographic or video proof how Muslims have ritually slaughtered and then eaten their victims (just do a search for cannibal). Theologically speaking, this is the natural conclusion of Islam’s denial of the human person, for as humanity in Islam comes from one’s belief in and practice of Islam, to eat a non-Muslim would be considered no different than eating an animal, the difference being that unlike pork, there is no specific prohibition against it. But has anybody ever asked why?

God warned the Hebrews not to do this. Unfortunately, it still continues today in different forms, such as abortion.

The great Christians saints throughout history (such as St. John of Damascus and Bl. Peter the Venerable of Montbossier) all said that while Islam is evil, it is fundamentally the culmination of all Christian heresy. Since many Christian heresies are influenced by paganism, one can naturally find the worst of the ancient pagan teachings in Islam but with the veneer of theological license and presented as the ‘answer’ to Christianity. While not per se practiced by a majority throughout history, many ancient pagan religious teachings gave license to human sacrifice and even cannibalism in some form. Even the Bible talks about how the ancient Hebrews were continually warned against participating in the sacrifices of their young children to the pagan gods of their Semitic neighbors.

Human sacrifice and cannibalism is found in Islam as well as many pagan cultures, such as with the Aztec. While it is evil, human sacrifice is a subconscious human attempt to enter into the divine mysteries of Christ and the Eucharist that would be revealed by God Himself through Christ.

The answer to why human sacrifice and cannibalism are found in paganism is twofold. For if the law of God is built into man’s creation, than he understands by instinct without even knowing that somehow, men give their lives for another and that this is connected to worship of the divine. Thus human sacrifice in the pagan world is a corrupt understanding of the sacrifice that while evil, is a part of the search for truth that comes with Christianity where God Himself comes and offers himself as the great sacrifice for the sins of men.

This is the real human sacrifice- made by God Himself for the salvation of fallen man.

This same approach applies to cannibalism. St. John reports in his gospel, chapter 6:

I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (John 6:48-58)

This is something that many Protestant Christians do not want to talk about, but the fact is clear that for 1500 years prior to the Protestant movement and even Martin Luther, the Protestant Revolutionary himself, all taught that the Eucharist- the bread and the wine at mass- become the body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. If the beliefs was not enough, then there have been countless Eucharistic miracles throughout history where the host will publicly bleed or the wine clearly become blood and have been proven by science yet unable to be explained by any natural means from the same scientists.

Islam came after Christianity, and while many Muslims are Muslims by birth, the fact is that Islam is a religion which came to say that Christianity is wrong and in order to find “truth,” one must undo what Christianity did, and what Christianity did (and still does when practiced) is to stamp out the wicked paganism of old and set men on the straight and true path which leads to God.

So don’t be surprised when Muslims do things like what Reza did for this show. After all, it is only in accordance with the nature and teachings of the religion he so ardently believes in and promotes.

Not African Christians: Again — Five of the Berlin Subway Firebugs Are Syrians, And One is Libyan

Berlin: Seven Migrants Charged After Homeless Man Set On Fire

SEVEN migrants have been charged after they allegedly tried to burn a homeless man to death on Christmas Day.

Six of the seven suspects are teenagers age between 15 and 18 turned themselves in to police after CCTV footage emerged of the incident which happened in Berlin on Sunday.

The homeless man, who had been sleeping in an underground train station, managed to get away and escaped unharmed after the attack.

The seventh suspect, a 21-year-old man, was arrested near his home. Police in Germany said the man was the ringleader in the incident.

Six of the seven arrested are migrants from Syria and one is from Lebanon. According to investigators their status is “very different” – some of them have a residence status, others are in ongoing asylum procedures.

Each of the suspects entered the country in the past two years as asylum seekers and worryingly were all known to police.

The 37-year-old homeless man had been trying to keep warm under sheets of paper when the gang tried to set him alight at Schoenleinstrasse underground station in south Berlin.

Cologne Christmas Eve: A Turk Douses Himself And Policemen With Gasoline – Threatens With A Lighter In His Hand

One policewoman was able to kick the man’s lighter out of his hand, so that he could be overwhelmed. Two policewomen were lightly injured. The 45-year-old was committed to the municipal clinic after the incident.

He harassed employees of a car rental

The employees of a car rental company had called the police because they were molested by the man. On the way to the police station, the Turk from Dortmund then claimed that the liquid in the can in his hand was drinking water.

He threatened “I will take you all with me”

During a scuffle in the police station the man was able to open the can and to douse himself and policemen with him with gasoline. He pulled a lighter out of his pocket and yelled: “I don’t care if I die, I will take you all with me!” One of the policewomen quick-wittedly reacted and prevented a worse outcome.

Proceedings have been initiated against the man for severe bodily harm as well as resisting arrest.

Another Tragedy: African ‘Boat People’ Drowning in Front of A Tunisian Ship – And Afrophobes and Racists Applauding Their Death and Calling for More Genocide

I don’t fully trust their twisted version of the story. Here the DailyMail reported about it this way.

Doomed By Their Last Bid To Reach Europe: Migrants Sink Their Own Boat After Crashing It Into The Side Of A Tunisian Fishing Trawler They Mistook For The Coast Guard

GRAPHIC CONTENT

• Video shows migrants drowning after their dinghy comes aside a trawler
• Human traffickers apparently mistook the trawler for a coastguard ship
• A voice on board the ship shouts in Italian for the migrants to keep calm

A shocking video has emerged of a dinghy packed with migrants sinking in the Mediterranean after they mistook a Tunisian trawler for a coastguard ship.

The footage appeared on the internet today and comes as the Italian coastguard warned that eight people had died and many more were missing after another migrant boat went down in the Mediterranean.

A shocking video has emerged of a dinghy packed with migrants sinking in the Mediterranean after they mistook a Tunisian trawler for a coastguard ship.

The footage appeared on the internet today and comes as the Italian coastguard warned that eight people had died and many more were missing after another migrant boat went down in the Mediterranean.

It is not clear if the footage is from this week or from the summer but it clearly shows the large white dinghy aiming itself at the ship.

It comes alongside the trawler and, as the migrants desperately try to climb up the side of the fishing vessel, the dinghy capsizes and dozens are thrown into the sea.

Many of the migrants clearly cannot swim and only a handful are wearing lifebelts.

As a man onboard the trawler’s deck shouts in Italian: ‘Calma (Stay calm)’ the situation gets worse and eventually the bodies of people who have clearly drowned can be seen floating on the surface.

The video was uploaded onto Youtube, where a commentator says: ‘The crew were reluctant to help since letting them on board would have been a serious security risk as it would have them outnumbered 10 to 1.

‘The only way to help would be individuals of the crew rappelling down to to the sea line, which would most likely result in their own death as the immigrants would drag them down.’

The Italian coastguard has a policy of escorting to shore any migrants it finds at sea and it is thought those on the migrant boat thought they would be rescued and taken to Italy if their boat capsized next to the ship. They were unaware it was just a fishing vessel operating out of a Tunisian port.

Now here is something valuable for the world, for Africans, in particular, to document and report to The Almighty: Except for two or three of the comments, the vast majority of them is meant to devastate and dehumanize Africans. Mind you, it is the Arabs who are abusing, stealing, raping and murdering them, but the Bogeyman will always remain the African. Well, they’re united in Godlessness and hatred. The governments, the parties and the medias had done a very successful job in conditioning and preparing the unrepentant and easily manipulable folks for future cruelty and genocide – and, everywhere, the level of hatred is rising – and this genocide will be carried out, first and foremost, against us Africans and Christians.

Selected comments:

• The title implies that they are deliberately sinking their own boat, but it looks more like they accidentally/carelessly capsized it in their frenzy to try and climb aboard the ship.

• There are people drowned in matter of minutes, and I don’t understand the fucking why their boat was destroyed. This is beyond retarded and tragic.

• All those excuses just so you can post a video of you watching people drown and sit there do nothing as they die, good job, you’re a piece of human shit.

• Why would they help parasites survive? I was honestly expecting them to start shooting at the niggers so they died faster

• lol why this Nigger beasts drown in less than a minute? Swimming is not hard.

• There is plenty of space in the sea. Better put them there than let them come to europe.

• LMAO Made my night. Watching African invaders drown while drinking California wine. Yes God is indeed great.

• Looks like only whitey has been guilted into helping Africans.

• What is going to happen in 100 years when Europe is majority Arab?

• True story: Arab slave masters used to castrate their African slaves so they could not reproduce.

• Looks like worms crawling all over each other

• Arabs side with blacks and cry to stop racism only when they are in white countries so that they can take advantage!! Back in muslimland they hate blacks much more than whites ever did. WAKE UP!

• The lifeboat just sitting there on deck while the arabs throw nets at them

• And nothing of value was lost. Except maybe the clothes.

• HAHAHAA fucking rats!! i wish i could be there throwing stones at these diving rapists! i watch this beautiful video when i feel sad.

• People wonder why so many dead fish on the beaches now I know the answer

• I am in favor of genocide. Either we do it! Or they (including the Jews who lead this genocide against us) do it to us!

• We must eradicate all of them, what are they good for? Africa is huge and has lot’s of resources. Africans??? Why should we allow them to live (in Europe at least)? They are even more inferior than fucking Arabs (They must go too)! Eradicate em’ all! When they invade Europe, bomb the boats and record the few surviving drown and spread it all over the internet! That will show them that they are not welcome in THE WHITE MAN’S LAND! After we have secured our survival as a people 1488 (removing all non-Whites in Europe) we should colonize the whole of Africa (for the expansion of our race & for the resources we need) and if we need the Africans back in slavery we can do that, they’ve fucked our women and helped destory our culture & people. No more tolerance, we are in a racial war. Either we man up or go extinct! It’s almost like National Socialism isn’t enough, we need National Socialism on steroids!

• These are people dying. And you /pol/ users and assorted racists are cheering it on. Regardless of your political leanings or views on migrants, you are honestly sick in the head to be praising anyone’s death. You folks make me sad. Raised online in your echo chambers and acting like you have no humanity. You watch people dying and laugh about it. The hate and disease in your souls is terrifying. Thank god none of you will ever be in any kind of position of authority or power in your lives, or at least we can only hope. You don’t know what happiness is.

• Yall joking and shit….but one thing yall dumbasses dont realize….yall msking jokes about fucking africans and calling them the enemy…when jesus was a black man….sooooo. have fun with that knowledge now racist retarded fucks

The Muslim World is a Permanent Refugee Crisis

It’s never going to stop unless we shut the door

Forget the Syrian Civil War for a moment. Even without the Sunnis and Shiites competing to give each other machete haircuts every sunny morning, there would still be a permanent Muslim refugee crisis. 

The vast majority of civil wars over the last ten years have taken place in Muslim countries. Muslim countries are also some of the poorest in the world. And Muslim countries also have high birth rates.

Combine violence and poverty with a population boom and you get a permanent migration crisis.

No matter what happens in Syria or Libya next year, that permanent migration crisis isn’t going away.

The Muslim world is expanding unsustainably. In the Middle East and Asia, Muslims tend to underperform their non-Muslim neighbors both educationally and economically. Oil is the only asset that gave Muslims any advantage and in the age of fracking, its value is a lot shakier than it used to be.

The Muslim world had lost its old role as the intermediary between Asia and the West. And it has no economic function in the new world except to blackmail it by spreading violence and instability.

Muslim countries with lower literacy rates, especially for women, are never going to be economic winners at any trade that doesn’t come gushing out of the ground. Nor will unstable dictatorships ever be able to provide social mobility or access to the good life. At best they’ll hand out subsidies for bread.

The Muslim world has no prospects for getting any better. The Arab Spring was a Western delusion.

Growing populations divided along tribal and religious lines are competing for a limited amount of land, power and wealth. Countries without a future are set to double in size.

There are only two solutions; war or migration.

Either you fight and take what you want at home. Or you go abroad and take what you want there.

Let’s assume that the Iraq War had never happened. How would a religiously and ethnically divided Iraq have managed its growth from 13 million in the eighties to 30 million around the Iraq War to 76 million in 2050?

The answer is a bloody civil war followed by genocide, ethnic cleansing and migration.

What’s happening now would have happened anyway. It was already happening under Saddam Hussein.

Baghdad has one of the highest population densities in the world. And it has no future. The same is true across the region. The only real economic plan anyone here has is to get money from the West.

Plan A for getting money out of the West is creating a crisis that will force it to intervene. That can mean anything from starting a war to aiding terrorists that threaten the West. Muslim countries keep shooting themselves in the foot so that Westerners will rush over to kiss the booboo and make it better.

Plan B is to move to Europe.

And Plan B is a great plan. It’s the only real economic plan that works. At least until the West runs out of native and naïve Westerners who foot the bill for all the migrants, refugees and outright settlers.

For thousands of dollars, a Middle Eastern Muslim can pay to be smuggled into Europe. It’s a small investment with a big payoff. Even the lowest tier welfare benefits in Sweden are higher than the average salary in a typical Muslim migrant nation. And Muslim migrants are extremely attuned to the payoffs. It’s why they clamor to go to Germany or Sweden, not Greece or Slovakia. And it’s why they insist on big cities with an existing Muslim social welfare infrastructure, not some rural village.

A Muslim migrant is an investment for an entire extended family. Once the young men get their papers, family reunification begins. That doesn’t just mean every extended family member showing up and demanding their benefits. It also means that the family members will be selling access to Europe to anyone who can afford it. Don’t hike or raft your way to Europe. Mohammed or Ahmed will claim that you’re a family member. Or temporarily marry you so you can bring your whole extended family along.

Mohammed gets paid. So does Mo’s extended family which brokers these transactions. Human trafficking doesn’t just involve rafts. It’s about having the right family connections.

And all that is just the tip of a very big business iceberg.

Where do Muslim migrants come up with a smuggling fee that amounts to several years of salary for an average worker? Some come from wealthy families. Others are sponsored by crime networks and family groups that are out to move everything from drugs to weapons to large numbers of people into Europe.

Large loans will be repaid as the new migrants begin sending their new welfare benefits back home. Many will be officially unemployed even while unofficially making money through everything from slave labor to organized crime. European authorities will blame their failure to participate in the job market on racism rather than acknowledging that they exist within the confines of an alternate economy.

It’s not only individuals or families who can pursue Plan B. Turkey wants to join the European Union. It’s one solution for an Islamist populist economy built on piles of debt. The EU has a choice between dealing with the stream of migrants from Turkey moving to Europe. Or all of Turkey moving into Europe.

The West didn’t create this problem. Its interventions, however misguided, attempted to manage it.

Islamic violence is not a response to Western colonialism. Not only does it predate it, but as many foreign policy experts are so fond of pointing out, its greatest number of casualties are Muslims. The West did not create Muslim dysfunction. And it is not responsible for it. Instead the dysfunction of the Muslim world keeps dragging the West in. Every Western attempt to ameliorate it, from humanitarian aid to peacekeeping operations, only opens up the West to take the blame for Islamic dysfunction.

The permanent refugee crisis is a structural problem caused by the conditions of the Muslim world.

The West can’t solve the crisis at its source. Only Muslims can do that. And there are no easy answers. But the West can and should avoid being dragged down into the black hole of Muslim dysfunction.

Even Germany’s Merkel learned that the number of refugees is not a finite quantity that can be relieved with a charitable gesture. It’s the same escalating number of people that will show up if you start throwing bags of money out of an open window. And it’s a number that no country can absorb.

Muslim civil wars will continue even if the West never intervenes in them because their part of the world is fundamentally unstable. These conflicts will lead to the displacement of millions of people. But even without violence, economic opportunism alone will drive millions to the West. And those millions carry with them the dysfunction of their culture that will make them a burden and a threat.

If Muslims can’t reconcile their conflicts at home, what makes us think that they will reconcile them in Europe? Instead of resolving their problems through migration, they only export them to new shores. The same outbursts of Islamic violence, xenophobia, economic malaise and unsustainable growth follow them across seas and oceans, across continents and countries. Distance is no answer. Travel is no cure.

Solving Syria will solve nothing. The Muslim world is full of fault lines. It’s growing and it’s running out of room to grow. We can’t save Muslims from themselves. We can only save ourselves from their violence.

The permanent Muslim refugee crisis will never stop being our crisis unless we close the door.

“If a man foolishly keeps drinking poison and is going to die from it, should everyone have to take a drink? If a man chooses to believe evil things that will get people killed, including himself, do all people have to share the consequences? There is no sane or rational reason why we should invite evil into our countries to destroy us. There is nothing in our religions or culture that demands suicidal folly from anyone.„

REPORT: Migrants Committing Disproportionately High Crime In Germany While Media And Govt Focus on ‘Far Right’ Thought Crimes

A massive, migrant crime wave is surging across Germany according to figures buried in a new report released by the country’s Interior Ministry. The data reveals that without migrants considered, crime rates in Germany would have remained roughly static since 2014. But, in fact, the country recorded an extra 402,741 crimes committed by migrants.

While much of this criminality concerned illegal border crossings, German authorities instead talked up a “record surge” in crimes by “right wing radicals”.

Concerning statistics from the 135-page report reveal that 70 per cent of pickpocketing, one of the crime types on the rise, was committed by non-Germans. Of this figure, 34 per cent was committed by recent asylum seekers, with the rest committed by “non-Germans”.

Foreign nationals are thought to account for around 11 or 12 per cent of the total population of Germany, but were over-represented in every area of crime.

Illegal immigrants and asylum seekers account for around 2.5 per cent of Germany’s population, but were also massively overrepresented.

Amongst total offences, non-Germans accounted for 27.6 percent while illegal immigrants and asylum seekers accounted for 5.7 percent. Of homicides, the figures are 29.3%/8.2%, and of sexual assaults, the figures were 20.5%/4.8%.

In all of these cases as well as those indicated in the chart below, non-Germans and illegal migrants outstripped their proportions of crime to their representation in German society.

Non-Germans accounted for 38 per cent of all robberies, 38 per cent of thefts, and 43 per cent of thefts that involved a level of aggravation such as assault or force.

They accounted for 40.2 per cent of burglaries, 43.5 per cent of shoplifting, and a whopping 75.7 of pick pocketing or purse snatching.

In the chart below, non-Germans are in light red while asylum seekers and illegal migrants are in deep red.

nd of migrant crimes specifically, Syrians top the list of migrant crimes that are not related to border controls, with a total of 10,348 individual offences in 2015. They also led assault cases among migrants, with 3,186 offences in 2015.

Thefts were most committed by Albanians, with 6,689 offences and Algerians coming close with 5,611. Algerians almost tie with Serbians when it comes to fraud. Balkan nationals were accountable for 2,834 cases, barely above North Africans’ 2,774.

Algerians top the list for smuggling goods (2,449) and also top the list for drug selling offences (976).

Cruelty & The Beast: How Poor Ethiopian Teens Starved to Death by Their Adoptive ‘Family’

“ኢትዮጵያ ሀገሬ ሞኝ ነሽ ተላላ ፡ የሞተልሽ ቀርቶ የገደለሽ በላ!”

Shocking turn in manslaughter case as husband turns on his wife and says she is responsible for starvation and hypothermia death of adopted daughter

• Larry and Carri Williams of Sedro-Woolley, Washington were found guilty of neglecting, abusing, and ultimately killing 13-year-old Hana Williams

• The couple left Hana to die from hypothermia and starvation in their backyard in May 2011

• Step-brother Immanuel testified he and Hana were beaten with sticks, hosed down, forced to eat frozen food and locked in closets

• Larry accusing his wife of being the ‘primary actor’ in the abuse

The adoptive father of an Ethiopian teen has blamed his wife for the girl’s hypothermia and starvation death in order to get a lighter sentence, it emerged today.

Larry Williams and his wife Carri were found guilty of manslaughter last month after their adopted daughter Hana was found frozen and starved to death outside their Washington home in May 2011 when the temperature was just 40F.

The couple will be sentenced next week for her death and the abuse of their son Immanuel, who was also adopted from Ethiopia.

On Friday Larry Williams said through his attorney that his wife should spend decades in jail because ‘she was the primary actor’ in all of the treatment of Hana and Immanuel.

International Adoption: I Was Stolen From My Family

By Tarikuwa Lemma, Special to CNN

Editor’s note: Tarikuwa Lemma, 19, was “adopted” from Ethiopia seven years ago by a U.S. family along with her two younger sisters after being deceived that they were headed to America on a study trip. She now lives in Maine and has just entered college with the goal of becoming a human rights advocate.

When I was 13, I was sold

Friends of my father worked for a corrupt adoption agency operating in my homeland of Ethiopia — friends my father trusted. In 2006 they coerced him into believing he was sending my younger sisters and me to America for an educational program during which we would come home every summer and on school breaks.

Little did my father know that his “friends” were being paid to recruit children for an American adoption agency. In fact, he didn’t even know what “adoption” meant. Instead of an educational program, we found ourselves caught up in an international adoption scandal.

We weren’t the only ones lied to. The family who adopted us, who lived in the southwestern United States, were told that they were taking into their family three AIDS orphans, the oldest of whom was nine years old. The truth was that our mother had died from complications during childbirth, and our father was alive and well. Instead of nine, I was 13 years old; my sisters were 11 and six.

Our new “parents” changed our names and told us we could no longer speak to each other in our own languages; we were punished if we disobeyed. Eventually, we forgot how to speak our native languages, Amarigna and Wolaytta.

I was so young and naïve. I actually believed that if I ran away, I could walk back to Ethiopia. I wanted to escape from the people I felt had kidnapped us from our homeland, our culture, and our family. I was angry, hurt and grieving.

After eight months, I was “re-homed,” without my sisters, to live with my adoptive mother’s parents in the Midwest. I have only seen my sisters a handful of times since.

Living in the Midwest was difficult. I had been taken from my family in Ethiopia, and then separated from my sisters. But instead of getting caught up in my depression, I threw myself into finding ways to let the world know the hard truths about corruption in international adoption.

My second adoption placement did not work out either, and at 18, while still in high school, I found myself staying on a friend’s floor. A family in Maine, who I met through adoption reform work, offered to take me in. So I moved my few possessions and myself across the country again.

Supporters of international adoption frequently mention the enormous numbers of orphans in the world — UNICEF estimates there are 151 million orphans. What most people don’t realize is that when the United Nations determines the figures for orphans, they include children who have lost just one parent (the U.N. estimates only 18 million have lost both parents).

I assure you that I did not consider myself an orphan. My sisters and I had a father, a brother and older sisters, plus a large extended family that cared for us and loved us. We were middle class by Ethiopian standards, not poor. We, and many other adoptees like us, should never have been placed for adoption.

All the lies and deception comes down to money. I have discovered since my adoption, the price paid by adoptive parents is exorbitant and feeds the corruption. Had my father’s friends not made money from the placement of my sisters and me for adoption, none of this ever would have happened. They were basically paid to create orphans. Depending upon the country, an adoption can cost upwards of $50,000. Imagine what that kind of money could do to help struggling families in developing nations keep their children!

Adding the horror of being sold for profit, I now know that parents pay far more to adopt a white child than an African-American child. A 2010 study by Caltech, the London School of Economics, and New York University showed that parents are willing to pay an average of $38,000 more for a non-African American baby. Let me call that what it is: Racism.
