"‘Orphan Rescue’ attempt hits nerve among Haitians" by Frank Bajak, Associated Press | February 1, 2010
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Ten US Baptists who were detained while trying to take 33 children out of earthquake-shattered Haiti without government permission say they were just trying to do the right thing, applying Christian principles to save Haitian children.
Is that why the agenda-pushing *ewspaper is focused on them?

Globe is a day late on a lot of things, huh?
I guess you wouldn't want to upset the elite readers on an agenda-pushing Sunday, huh?
But their “Orphan Rescue Mission’’ is striking nerves in a country that has long suffered from child trafficking and foreign interventions, and where much of the aid is delivered in ways that challenge Haiti’s own religious traditions....
So there are several things at play here, including theglobalist destruction of another way of life.
The Americans are the first people to be arrested since the Jan. 12 earthquake on such suspicions. No charges have been filed.
The government and established child welfare agencies are trying to slow Haitian adoptions amid fears that parentless or lost children are more vulnerable than ever to being seized and sold.
And that's why Israel and the globalists sent rescue squads, huh?
Had to find and cover-up the paperwork for the organ and sex-slave rings, huh?
Without proper documents and concerted efforts to track down their parents, they could be forever separated from family members able and willing to care for them.
Yves Cristallin, Haiti’s social affairs minister, said the Americans were suspected of taking part in an illegal adoption scheme.
Word is the parents gave them away so they could have a better life. Saw the report on CBS Overnight while I was working.
The orphanage where the children were later taken said some of the children have parents who were apparently told the children were going on a holiday from the post-quake misery.
The church group’s own mission statement said it planned to spend only hours in the devastated capital, quickly identifying children without immediate families and busing them to a rented hotel in the Dominican Republic without bothering to get permission from the Haitian government.
Whatever the group’s intentions, other child welfare organizations in Haiti said the plan was foolish at best....
And at its worst?
The church members, most from Idaho, said they were trying to rescue abandoned and traumatized children.
White bread Idaho saving black beauties?
Somehow that isn't passing the smell test.
The children, ages 2 months to 12 years, were taken to an orphanage run by Austrian-based SOS Children’s Villages, where spokesman George Willeit said they arrived “very hungry, very thirsty, some dehydrated.’’
Look what they have been through, although I'm sure it was Christian neglect.
The orphanage was working yesterday to reunite the children with their families, joining a concerted effort by the Haitian government, the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and other NGOs.
I'd rather the kids take their chances in Idaho!!
When you see ALL THOSE GROUPS lined up and working together it can not be for the good!!
In Idaho, the Rev. Clint Henry denied that his Central Valley Baptist Church had anything to do with child trafficking.

I really don't know what to make of the story, readers, although I do know I'm seeing it through a Zionist prism. The religious component is also fascinating. These are, after all, Protestants in an overwhelmingly Catholic country.
And the case gets curiouser and curiouser:
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Child trafficking, which many fear will flourish in the chaos caused by the devastating Jan. 12 quake..... many parents are desperate to get help for their children....
Members of the church group insisted they were only trying to save abandoned children - but few appear to have had any significant experience with Haiti, international charity work, or international adoption regulations. Since their arrest Friday near the border, church group members have been held inside two small concrete rooms....
Were they tortured like Muslims in AmeriKan custody?
“There is no air conditioning, no electricity. It is very disturbing,’’ lawyer Jorge Puello told the AP by phone from the Dominican Republic....
So it's torture, isn't it?
One of the Americans, Charisa Coulter of Boise, Idaho, was treated yesterday at a field hospital for dehydration or the flu. Looking pale as she lay on an Army cot, Coulter, 24, was being guarded by two Haitian police officers....

"Villagers assert they sent their children with Baptists; Americans vowed no adoptions, but better life, they say" by Frank Bajak, Associated Press | February 4, 2010
CALLEBAS, Haiti - Parents in this struggling village above Haiti’s capital said yesterday that they willingly handed their children to American missionaries who showed up in a bus promising to give them a better life - contradicting statements by the Baptist group’s leader that the children came from orphanages and distant relatives.
Hate to say I told you, but....
The 10 Baptists, most from Idaho, were arrested last week trying to take 33 Haitian children into the Dominican Republic without the required documents, according to outraged Haitian officials, who have called them child traffickers....
The Haitian parents said in an interview that they surrendered their children on Jan. 28, two days after a local orphanage worker, acting on behalf of the Baptists, convened nearly the entire village of about 500 people on a dirt soccer pitch to present the Americans’ offer.
The orphanage worker, Issac Adrien, said he told the villagers their children would be educated at a home in the Dominican Republic so that they might eventually return to take care of their families.
Many parents jumped at the offer. The village school had collapsed and their homes were destroyed in Haiti’s Jan. 12 quake. They had no money to feed the children, they said....
That's why they were looking faint and dehydrated at the border!

Little ones looking after each other? Oh, my old man's heart!!!
Adrien said he brought the Americans to this mountain village where people scrape by growing carrots, peppers, and onions. He said he met their leader, Laura Silsby of Boise, Idaho, at a school in Port-au-Prince two days earlier....
How many times can I type amazing or incredible people, huh?
Silsby’s Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho, had begun planning last year to build an orphanage, school, and church in Magante, on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. Their plan was to work with US adoption agencies to find “loving Christian parents’’ for Haitian and Dominican children. When the quake struck, the church members decided to act immediately.
Why am I beginning to sense ZIONIST PERSECUTION via the MEDIA and a DIVERSION from the MASSIVE TRAFFICKING RINGS down there?!
Why are they picking on this group of Protestants?
Adrien said he had no knowledge of the group’s larger plans; villagers said they were told that none of their children would be offered for adoption.
The children, ranging in age from 2 to 12, are now being cared for at the Austrian-run SOS Children’s Village in Port-au-Prince. An official there, Patricia Vargas, said none of the children who were old enough to talk had said they were parentless. “Up until now we have not encountered any who say they are an orphan,’’ she said....
Yeah, the PARENT'S ALREADY EXPLAINED THAT!! They LOVE their CHILDREN and WANTED them to HAVE a BETTER LIFE!Whether this group is guilty of trafficking, etc, I don't know -- but you know how I feel about the trustworthiness of New England's largest war daily.
