Honestly bro, stop taking trolls to heart. If he/she was such a good writer, with a valid point, he/she would have made any article of note. I see?????????????? NONE. Not a single one, tell it to troll on along, and keep doing what you are doing, as you must be doing something........... RIGHT!......................... :-)

Thanks. I think what gets me is I spend 20+ hours a week for almost 5 months now researching this, and the amount of adversaries and the lengths they go to against VOP is jacked. Supposed truthers with large followings, government officials misusing their power. News stations running lies for the government against them. In the midst of all this people are trying hard to take the focus off of the kids.

This was my way of telling the trolls they can go fuck themselves with their tactics. This evil shit with the kids needs to stop. This isn't about popularity, this isn't about money. It's about what is right. All these keyboard warriors want to argue and hurl accusations and bullshit all day expending their energy on ego and rob the energy from where it belongs. VOP will not be distracted, nor will I.

As I pointed out in the post, I believe it is a puppet account. Just curious if bringing this out into the open will stir up any admissions. Regardless this will make it into my book as yet one more example that things are not what they seem when VOP is the subject.

Keep right on my friend, till the end of the road, we will win, all of us.

So many organisations start off with good intentions, but as they grow and big money gets interested, they start to cater to the wishes of the moneybags.

Those that are meant to help and watch over children, protecting them from the cruelties and tortures of jaded adults, often turn to be the opposite of what their founders intended, as they discover their reputation makes it easier for them to use and trade such children entrusted to them.

Of course they would want to troll people like you and the VOP....it is a sign that you are doing something right.

What is not right is that people who care (like me) only watch and do not support those on the front. You deserve at least our moral support, even when we cannot help financially.

My heart is with you and for each child you save, you have my heartfelt gratitude.

Your interest and interaction here is a great start. It shows those who fear this evil being stopped that others do care and are interested. Every day is a chance for new opportunity to oppose them. I just did a new post because since this one Tucson is going in later today and shutting down the homeless shelter that Lewis built 3 years ago in retaliation for him not leaving this alone.

Thank you for continuing to follow this fight as it continues.

I'd be curious to know which of the "legitimate" groups this guy supports??? What do you want to bet he's a Strawman Sawyer shill!

I'm not sure. As I pointed out, there is some tie to Frank Bacon here on Steemit, as Frank follows this person despite their only activity here being to troll my posts when they get pinned by VOP on Twitter. I suspect it might be a puppet account of Franks. Most of those being followed by this account have also done posts in the past on VOP only to stop, or defame them or stop posting completely. Hoping Frank might weigh in on this, and if it is him, explain why he doesn't just weigh in on his own account and also to explain why the efforts to slander what this group is doing. We need more people doing instead of arguing and debating from the comfort of their living rooms. These men and women are heroes and deserve all of our support for doing what should have been done long long ago.

I'll ask him... we've gotten along pretty well over the past 2 years!

Can I ask a stupid question? What is "VOP"? I haven't been following this story and am unfamiliar, and didn't see the acronym spelled out, though I might have just missed it.

@phoenixwren it stands for veteran's on patrol. I saw a brief segment on vice I believe.

Here is a little history on them, their original mission/ministry to help homeless vets get off the streets and find some semblance of stability.

They search the desert and under bridges looking for these forgotten souls, which was how they discovered the child trafficking camp that has exposed a lot of the corruption in Tucson. Tucson is a major hub for it as it is only 1 hour from the border. I have written about 20 posts on their ongoing fight to stop this child trafficking since they started if you want to learn more from the beginning. Much of the videos though has been scrubbed by Facebook, some of the troll accounts, some of the original experts who came and agreed it was a horrible site then suddenly changed their minds as they tried scrubbing their videos from the internet. Oh, and the story I did a few weeks ago on the false allegations by the Pima County Attorneys office that was aired on KVOA news that was subsequently scrubbed.

Woah! Thanks for the catch up, I will look more into it. That's scary as hell that all that got scrubbed- I'm not a big conspiracy person but right off the bat, that's suspicious af!!
