Why is Trump’s Secretary of Education’s Family Big Donors of Bethany Christian Services, an Organization with Ties to Human Trafficking?
I knew it. I knew when the media started their frenzy over immigrant children being separated from their parents at the border, it was to draw a certain response from the public. Classic Problem-Reaction-Solution at play. The public cried out for the Trump administration to “do something” about all these kids being separated supposedly from their parents while trying to illegally enter the country. Those on the right seem to somehow think Trump is going to save all these kids from Human trafficking, but what is really going on here? Is this a ploy by those who profit off the fostering of immigrant children to increase their profits? It may seem that way.
Why is the Secretary of Education’s family (Betsy Devos) a big donor to Bethany Christian Services and what does Bethany actually do? Well, from their website it clearly states Refugee Foster Care is one of their MANY services:
Documents (2013) for the Richard & Helen DeVos Foundation show that they contributed $250,000 to Bethany Christian Services. The Dick & Betsy DeVos Foundation provided $25,000 to Bethany in 2013.
From democraticunderground.com:
“Here’s the way Bethany Skirts the Laws . In six months they’ll file abandonment petitions on John Doe and Jane Doe. That’s the plan. They have no intention of trying to find, much less uniting parents with their children. It’s a radical Christian adoption trafficking mill. It is reported that Bethany charges $50,000 per child.”
At least as recently as Mar 23, 2015, Brian DeVos (a cousin of Betsy DeVos’s husband Dick) was the Senior Vice President, Child & Family Services of Bethany Christian Services in Michigan. The public relations firm representing Bethany said Brian DeVos left the agency this year “to pursue other interests.
I will bet ANYONE a pint of ice cream if Betsy Devos’ “Bethany Christian Services” adoption mill in Grand Rapids, MI has names & addresses of the parents of even half the 81 immigrant kids they took in under Trump’s new snatch & grab policy.https://t.co/tXieun6LbR pic.twitter.com/YAHZqOBoxU

Email and phone records between Bethany Christian Services and the Michigan Department of Civil Rights reveal disarray in the handling of separated children. Migrant children in Michigan who have been separated from their parents by the Trump administration are attending “a special school” run by Bethany Christian Services, an organization with a record of coercive adoption practices that has yet to receive instructions about how to reunify these children with their detained parents.
“We’re not real sure yet exactly how they’re going to work with parents who are detained,” Dona Abbott, Bethany’s branch director for refugee services, told Rewire.News in an interview.
“We’re still waiting for detailed direction from [the Department of Health and Human Services] about how kids and when kids will be reunified.”
With an annual revenue of $98 million, much of it from government contracts, Bethany is one of the nation’s largest adoption agencies. While criticizing the Trump administration’s family separation policy, the agency has also used it for fundraising. Bethany advertised matching donations on a section of its website that reads: “Separated from Parents: Children Need You.” A public relations firm representing Bethany said the money is being used for children’s needs, “post-reunification services,” transportation to reunite children, “volunteer services,” and “recruitment, licensing and training of new foster parents.”
Susan Hays, an attorney who has worked closely with young people in federal custody, said she was astonished to learn from Rewire.News that the migrant children separated from their families and under Bethany’s care in Michigan were not being sent to public school.
Isn’t it interesting that the Secretary of Education, who is known for actively trying to privatize the education system is a donor to an organization that is sending immigrant children to “special schools”? Does this not remind you of what happened to the Native American children who were stripped from their families, put in “special schools” and stripped of their culture and language? DO YOU NOT SEE HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF HERE?
Make no mistake about it, religious organizations and charities who claim to care about children are usually the largest perpetrators of child exploitation and trafficking.
One has to wonder, who is her God she is referring to? A God that supports child trafficking and exploitation of immigrant children? Let us not forget who her brother is, Erik Prince, who was a former U.S. Navy SEAL officer best known for founding the government services and security company Blackwater USA, now known as Academi.
Per Wikipedia, Academi is an American private military company founded in 1997 by former Navy SEAL officer Erik Prince as Blackwater, renamed as Xe Services in 2009 and now known as Academi since 2011 after the company was acquired by a group of private investors. The company received widespread notoriety in 2007 when a group of its employees was convicted of killing 14 Iraqi civilians in Nisour Square, Baghdad for which four guards were convicted in a U.S. court.
Erik Prince is also tied to the Knights of Malta & The Jesuit Army of the Vatican. Are you aware of allegations about how these ‘Knights’ were trafficking Iraqi girls in the Mancamps and renting them out for a dollar at a ‘turn’?
In a declaration under the penalty of perjury, a former employee of Erik Prince’s Blackwater defense contracting firm said, Prince,
“Views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe.”
The accuser, only known as John Doe #2 in court documents because he claims he has been threatened with “death and violence” by managers of Prince’s company, wrote that:
“Prince intentionally deployed to Iraq certain men who shared his vision of Christian supremacy, knowing and wanting these men to take every available opportunity to murder Iraqis. Many of these men used call signs based on the Knights of the Templar, the warriors who fought the Crusades.”
As if the US Military has not done enough damage to Muslim countries who posed no threat to us, this warmongering religious zealot is preparing for holy wars of biblical proportions. COMPLETE INSANITY! It also goes to show you there is no separation from church and state.
I really hope the Trump supporting right can start to open their eyes and see how badly they are getting played. Right out of the Hegelian dialectic playbook.
The Devos/Prince family is bad news. They are clearly Vatican agents and tied to the Jesuit agenda. If you have not read the oath that the Jesuit secret society takes you should google it. Make sure you are sitting down.
Spread this far and wide folks. We have to STOP letting the media bait otherwise good people into demanding action that ultimately leads to MORE abuse and trafficking of children. I am sick to death about reading all of these horror stories of pedophilia and satanic ritual abuse that is RAMPANT in factions of all 3 Abrahamic faiths. So please put to rest this fabricated Muslim vs Christian rivalry that is nothing more than a plot to keep wars going, the military industrial complex profiting, and these religious zealots manipulating us into their “end times” doomsday scenario.
When it comes to political influence religious people are the easiest to manipulate. I mean no offense by that either. I’m just stating the obvious here.
Wake up Trump supporting Christian Conservatives, the children are counting on you.
