Human Predators Stalk Haiti's Vulnerable Kids

[truckbomb]

Truck has read all these media reports and has come to the conclusion that Silsby has gotten heself mixed up with some very serious criminals on an international level. Silsby says that the “General” who promised her the legal authority with documents to cross the border with orphans into the DR was named, “Florentino.” Well, this is the famous and notorious General Manuel de Jesús Florentino Florentino, just appointed as a military advisor to the DR President after being set aside as a Minister for some time on various suspicions of trafficking in the DR. The General has some really serious problems now.

Florentino just had his U.S. visa revoked along with a number of his other general buddies, retired and holed up in the DR, by the Federales in Manhattan Federal District Court. These gentle folks are now being considered for extradition to the U.S. in connection with the big drug trafficking case of Paulino Castillo which has international ties to a major drug trafficking case in Spain.

I conclude that Silsby, on one of her excursions to the DR was taken to El Capo de Capos, Florentino, who required $12,000 to facilitate Silsby’s program to take the children across the border. The village idiot, Silsby, does not realize that any DR documents will be worthless under Haitian law so is being duped by some really bad characters.

Finally, Silsby shows up with the children but cannot produce the bribe money. Oops! No bribe money, no papers, no border crossing. So the Haitan border guards will not get their cut, ending quickly her program. The bribers, and all associated with greasing the skids, scattered like cockroaches when the light is turned on and Silsby and her flock were then arrested.

The Haitian judge tells 7Dias.com in his exclusive interview that he will ask the DR border administration to contact General Florentino y Florentino in order to interrogate him since the judge cannot do that in Haiti.

Good Luck on that, judge.

Florentino seems to be in no mood to appear involved with Silsby’s problems telling the DR press that any accusations that he was involved in drugs or trafficking are from the agenda of those opposed to the DR military and are using this to undermine him.

7Dias.com states that Silsby’s sentence (for the “irregular trips” charge) could be from three months to six years.

I will continue to monitor 7Dias.com which seems to be on top of this matter and its connection to Silsby and the international cases involving the U.S., Haiti, Spain and Puerto Rico.

Leave it to the village idiot to get herself involved, not only with Puello but also a whole raft of drug and minor trafficking characters. Better to be in a Haitian jail if she knows anything about these bad guys and may be thought to sing like a canary.

Settle in, girl. It will be a long, long ride. OTOH, Maybe the Manhattan federales will try to spring you just to learn what General Florentino was up to with you.

As the great American Philospher, Berra, once said.

It ain’t over ‘till its over.

To read the gist of SIN's interview with Bernard St VII where St.VII fingers General Florentino together with other DR government officials accusing the General to have authorized Silsby to import 100 Haitian children into the DR: (All below is in Spanish.)

"Clueless in Boise"...a good blog post on:

http://bastardette.blogspot.com/

Why do these people have to screw up "Amazing Grace" for me?


On to Haitivox, in Ms. d'Adesky's defense, she's been saying for quite some time that there was something up with a minister or general in the DR. I really think she was/is on to something. I don't think she initially determined who the general was but I think this must have been the person Silsby referred to as the "minister" that night at the hotel.

Rereading her blog reminded me that we haven't heard a word about Chenvert lately.

Nearly all of the 33 Haitian children whom American missionaries allegedly tried to take out of the earthquake-ravaged nation were reunited Wednesday with their families, weeks after they were separated. The children, who range in age from 4 months to 12 years old, have been living in SOS Children's Village, an Austrian-run orphanage in northern Port-au-Prince, since late January, when the 10 Americans they were with were arrested at the Haitian-Dominican Republic border.
On Wednesday, 32 of the children were taken home by at least one parent. Authorities are still working to verify the paperwork from the parents of the remaining child, a 9-year-old girl, SOS Children's Village said. It was not immediately clear when she could be reunited with her family.
Haitian authorities acknowledged that it had taken them some time to return the children.

 

[Missizzy]

That is absolutely great news. Isn't it interesting how cautious the Haitian government was in clearing the paperwork for each child? It doesn't sound like it was something that could be accomplished in a cobbled together meeting in the back seat of a car or on a soccer field.

Of course, I realize that the world is watching. It's also highly possible that these families were able to see their children and just not remove them from SOS. That might have actually been the best possible scenario for the kids as their parents knew they were safe, dry and fed. I'm sure the families had quite a bit of work on their hands just to prepare a place to stay with their kids.

Methinks Silsby basically had a high-wattage neon sign on her back as she traipsed around Haiti and the DR. The sign read "USEFUL IDIOT" and the criminals flocked to her like flies to jam. The criminals were no doubt doubly thrilled after they landed on her and discovered that not only was she a useful idiot, but that she also lacked any crumb of ethics, thus relieving the criminals of the usual need to fabricate complicated stories to make the useful idiot truly believe everything was on the up and up.

Maybe, just maybe, she's actually showing some small evidence of functioning brain cells by playing dumb and saying virtually nothing of substance. If she has gotten a clue as to the sort of people she was mixed up with (whether she had a clue all along, or just started getting a clue after her arrest), she may be very wise to put on a dumb-and-ignorant act and stick with it. It may be her best hope of staying alive after her release from the Haitian jail, whenever that may occur.

Nearly all of the 33 Haitian children whom American missionaries allegedly tried to take out of the earthquake-ravaged nation were reunited Wednesday with their families . . . 32 of the children were taken home by at least one parent. Authorities are still working to verify the paperwork from the parents of the remaining child, a 9-year-old girl, SOS Children's Village said.

So bottom line is that NOT A SINGLE ONE of those 33 children actually lacked a living parent that could be located and wanted to care for their child(ren) as best they could. Just imagine what those families could have done with the amount of money Silsby's churchy suckers donated to her "save the orphans" scam (not to mention all the additional money the families of the arrested suckers have spent on legal and travel costs to rescue their hapless relatives). The whole spectacle is truly nauseating.

 

[Missizzy]

The "Useful Idiot" post was one of the best I've read in a long time. Hit the nail on the head. Thank you, Pink.

The waste of funds is what kills me too. Tens of thousands were just thrown away and could have sustained so many families. Why, that's......un-Christian!!

 

[truckbomb]

Pink, I agree that playing dumb is not only Silsby’s best card but the easiest and most natural for her to play. But I also thing that El Generalissmo will not be in a forgiving mood for the ONE person who fingered him in this escapade especially when the Manhattan Federales want to extradite El Generalissmo and his merry men on drug trafficking charges in the U.S. especially now that he just got appointed as military advisor to the DR President. A dead Silsby is not a singing Silsby and it not just church hymns we are talking about.

Better that the embassy folk pick her up and spirit her back to the U.S one day if she is ever released. Even then she will encounter much curiosity shown by the U.S. federales.

Pink, did you view the judge’s interview? He definitely wants to interview El Generalissmo. Need we ask why?

If the Southern Baptists don't come out against this debacle soon, they really should give up on yelping "family values" every time they don't get their way on a social issue. Their "family values" make my skin crawl, and I'm as conservative and Christian as they come. This incident is quite literally an abomination. These "Christians" are practically reveling in vicious sin, calling evil good and good evil.

If the Truth can't sway Silsby's fan club, then what can?

Jorge Puello ARRESTED!!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35950101/ns/world_news-haiti_earthquake/

Dominican police have arrested a fugitive who acted as the lawyer for U.S. missionaries accused of kidnapping 33 Haitian children.

Jorge Puello initially served as the group's legal adviser and spokesman, but authorities later said he was wanted for trafficking women and children in the U.S. and El Salvador


The National Drug Control Agency says the 32-year-old Puello was arrested in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant late Thursday in the Dominican capital, Santo Domingo.

Jorge Puello ARRESTED!!

. . . the 32-year-old Puello was arrested in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant late Thursday in the Dominican capital, Santo Domingo.

So which country gets first crack at him? I've lost count of how many he was wanted in.

I think Jorge isn't playing with a full deck, any more than Silsby is. He knew he was wanted on serious criminal charges, yet played around on the internet (probably traceably, given the Interpol warrant out for him), and hung around his last known location popping out to fast food restaurants.

Are we sure he and Silsby aren't actually *related*? Their thought processes seem to have a good deal in common.

My email buddy is now in custody. I suspected something was up when I didn't get my email response today. So much for that source. I guess he will not be able to give me any more insight soon. Well, I appreciate all he has teed up for me.

I will be reporting on his insight soon. While he was on the lam I kept this to myself. Much of his material I was able to confirm from other sources. Whatever he did in Salvador at least he appeared to be forthcoming on the Haitian scene.

Watch this post.

 

[jeff_jones]

I've been wondering for weeks why it took them so long.

It was obvious he was still in the DR, because he had been quite busy with his "I am Innocent" website, collecting brand new documents to prove he was not in El Salvador when the activities he was indicted for happened.
The funny thing is that the immigration certificate he shows off is based on his Torres-Orellana passport, that he obtained with fraudulent documentation, as he admitted in interviews. So here's a Dominican citizen asking Dominican authorities to confirm that he flew in & out on certain dates under a fake Salvadoran passport... Whatever.
Last week he started another heading on his site accusing his cousin Alejandro (the real lawyer) of having screwed him. He must have changed his mind, because the next day it was gone.

By the way, over the past weeks we learnt that Puello's spelling - both English and Spanish - is far from perfect. Yet “PuelloConsulting.com” looked error proof. A quick Google of one line of text showed that he copy/pasted the entire text from the website of a real law firm in Costa Rica!

The one thing I most want to know about him is 'did he admit that he met Silsby before she was arrested' because I never bought that he volunteered his services to people he knew nothing about and had never met??? Please tell us if you know!!!

And here's Listin Diario, with a bit of "exageración":
http://listin.com.do/app/article.aspx?id=135452

"Dominican police received his fingerprints several months ago from El Salvador"
Really?

 

[i.b.nora]

FROM THE MSNBC ARTICLE:

"Puello has denied all of the allegations. His mother, Soledad Puello, secretary of internal affairs for the National Party of Veterans and Civilians, told The Associated Press on Friday that she will represent him in court.

"In the Dominican Republic ... the entire community will come out to defend him," she said. Soledad Puello had told the AP on Thursday that she and others were negotiating with Salvadoran prosecutors for her son to turn himself in."

You all saw that, right?

 

[jeff_jones]

Here's a mugshot and article from Hoy, this morning:
http://www.hoy.com.do/el-pais/2010/...profugo-violador-de-la-justicia-en-diferentes

Again, police sources claim they had received his fingerprints several months ago, and that they were immediately confirmed.
That's a stretch: when he was "outed" on Feb 12, Salvadoran authorities said they would send the fingerprints to Sto Domingo to be checked...
People's memories are getting a bit elastic.

Amazing that Fox News's blog in Washington had the "exclusive" story even earlier this morning:
