"I am trusting God to reveal all truth and that we will be released and exonerated of charges… God is good." Laura Silsby.
As you may have noticed, Laura Silsby’s trouble can only get worse as she has called on God with a substandard "good" rather than "Great". Not even a capital letter "good"! Let’s face it, a "good" God doesn’t do Great things, while a Great God wins Super Bowls and helps blow the crap of thousands of people. What was she thinking? Gosh… Duh… Laura Silsby Child Trafficking
Initially this story was presented as a matter of good Christian intentions foiled by Voodoo red tape. Big Government is very bad you know.
To recap, Laura Silsby along with 8 other members for the Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho are being held in jail by Haitian officials for trafficking in children.
Up front we find two elephants in the room. Not only are we dealing with Baptists but Idaho as well. Neither of which bodes well for rationality or any resulting common good.
As we learned more over time we found that Ms Silsby is a rather loose cannon within the Central Valley Baptist Church who took this mission upon herself. She is also a small time crook with 14 lawsuits pending against her from unpaid employees and businesses, also half a dozen low end criminal charges usually reserved for Blacks and Mexicans [no car insurance and registration]. In Idaho there are more retired cops who were thrown off police forces around the nation for racism than there are either Blacks or Mexicans.
We also learned that the 33 children were picked up by sight and loaded into vans without any paperwork or if indeed they were indeed orphans. Some are known to have parents.
The kicker here is not only that every international help organization says the people were wrong and stupid for this, but that recently divorced Silsby is in deep financial trouble, deep legal trouble and just had her $350,000 home foreclosed on by the bank just a little over a month ago. While… While Haitian authorities are well aware that this very kind of child trafficking goes on all the time and brings in about $10,000 profit per child. Idaho Statesman on Laura Silsby
$10k times 33 equals $330,000.
