Kidnapping and Ransom Rampant in the US
Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 4:27PM The US, by a wide margin, is the world leader in kidnapping and the kidnappers are becoming more predatory and beginning to demand higher ransoms as the economic environment in the US continues to decline.
In 2008 alone, 182,422 individuals, were either accosted by armed criminals and often-times attacked in their own houses, taken and then put in cages throughout the US. While 16,965 of them may have deserved to be kidnapped, 165,457 of them, or 90.7%, had done anything violent to anybody.
The following chart shows the total amount kidnapped per country, showing the US is by far the largest of any country on Earth. The US has 5% of the population of the world but does 22% of the kidnapping.
The rise in kidnappings in the US has been dramatic and has become epidemic as can be seen here:
AMERICAN APARTHEID
The kidnappers target ethnic minorities by a wide margin. White males have been getting kidnapped at a rate of 736 per 100,000. Latinos at 1,862 per 100,000. And, black males at 4,789 per 100,000. This can be best seen via the following chart:
In South Africa under apartheid, in 1993, black males were kidnapped at a rate of 851 per 100,000. In the US, black males are kidnapped at a rate of 4,789 per 100,000. The US apartheid system has more than a 500% higher kidnapping rate of blacks than the South African apartheid.
RANSOMS RAISED
The kidnappers, hard up for money in these tough economic times have begun to raise their ransoms. Kidnappers in Arizona allow you to visit the person kidnapped but they demand a fee of $25 per visit.
And now one criminal cartel that controls the area called Riverside County in California has stated that they will be kidnapping people and demanding a ransom of $142.42 per day. Cartel boss, Jeff Stone, released this statement to the media about their increase in operations:
“I think we’re blazing a new trail here. In these very challenging economic times, I believe this can be a source of revenue …I believe this can return 3 to 5 million (dollars) a year during these very challenging economic times.”
Other cartels throughout the US are likely watching this with great interest.
KIDNAPPING CONDITIONS IN THE US
Often times those kidnapped in the US are placed in very overcrowded conditions, brutally beaten and sodomized by other hostages. One particularly brutal cartel boss who operates in the southern Arizona corridor, with the nickname "Sheriff Joe", has been very active abducting people from their cars after leaving bars and putting them in concentration camps in the Arizona desert at temperatures often above 110F and feeding them spoiled food and dressing them in pink jumpsuits - a strange fetish of the crime boss.
It has been hard to curtail these kidnappings because in many cases these cartels are supported by the locals who see them as having their best interests in mind.
Sadly, in the US culture, those who get kidnapped are often turned into an underclass and shunned after their release. People who have been kidnapped are often not given opportunities to work nor to travel after they have been sequestered.
VISITORS TO THE US ARE ADVISED TO USE GREAT CAUTION
Those looking to visit the US should look to other locations nearby like Mexico where the rate of official kidnappings is more than 90% lower at 64 per 100,000 people. Plus, the conditions for those kidnapped in Mexico can be markedly better in some circumstances. A recent search of a caged area where hostages are kept in Acapulco turned up 19 prostitutes, two sacks of marijuana, numerous bottles of alcohol, 100 fighting cocks and two peacocks.
If safety is your prime concern then it would be wise for travellers to avoid the US at this time and to look to safer locales such as China, Russia, or Mexico where your chance of being abducted is significantly lower and if you are abducted, your chances of having a really fun time while being held hostage are markedly higher as hostages held in one Acapulco location can assuredly attest.

This is an excellent article. The Black and Hispanic communities have been suffering with legal kidnapping for a long time.
We the people (All Americans) must wake up to what is happening to us, or we all are lost.
The mass brainwashing industry is perhaps the most profitable industry in the world, today. How's that for an article suggestion?
Coming to USSA *might* be acceptable if you have already have absolutely nothing and conditions are truly horrible in your own country. You can sneak right in easily. The govt will make you a citizen eventually, because the govt likes low-IQ & low-income people who will keep voting for them and letting them steal everything from the productive citizens. Then you for absolutley nothing you will get free food, free medical, free cell phone, free "education" (lol), free housing, maybe in a building that resembles a USSR building, which is ironic since if you just switch 1 letter in USSA its almost like USSR was, except we have more gadgets and better electronics, and many of our houses look better. But don't come to America if you want to start a business. Firstly, most Americans are getting poorer and poorer by the year and have little money to spend, except for their govt food stamps. Secondly, the govt HATES people trying to make a living running a business. They might even kidnap a little girl for setting up a lemonade stand on the side of a street, and make her parents pay ransom.
I bring all this up because I wanted TDV to know how much I appreciate the work they do, and to remind all you folks reading this how important it is to let others know that there are MANY of us that SEE and KNOW what is REALLY going on and how important it is to share this info. The Occupy movement makes my heart sing ! There my be ignorance and futility involved, but at LEAST THEY ARE NOT AT HOME ON THE COUCH watching TV !!!
BTW Most EXCELLENT Article !
The reason you have "no friends" is because all the friends you had were brainwashed. I personally got rid of all my brainwashed friends years ago... thanks to the internet, however, you can find people that are awake.. there are millions... just find new friends... use the internet or visit places where the awakened are gathering, like the free state project in New Hampshire or my place in Acapulco (http://acacondos.com) or Doug Casey's libertarian enclave in Argentina (http://dollarvigilante.com/galtsgulch).
Imagine that cops are just regular Joe's and judge their ACTIONS (don't fall into the "legal" VS "illegal" BS political game) on their own merit.
Example #1:
Joe and a few buddies see a woman being assaulted by a man and jump in to stop it. They give him a good beating, take his wallet and give the money in it to the woman for her troubles. They tell the guy to bugger off and not come around again.
#2:
Joe and his buddies park their cars in a manner that is blocking traffic from travelling down the street. They force everyone who wants to drive down the street to stop and submit to them before being allowed to continue on their way. People whom they don't like, they demand money from and even pull some poor folks out of their cars and kidnap them...while stealing their cars and/or holding both them and their cars for ransom. If they see people trying to avoid their roadblock, they chase them down and make them submit to their demands anyways.
Ex. 1 I don't think too many of us would have a problem w/anyone doing, granted they didn't go too far beating the guy.
Ex. 2 is something few (if any) of us would put up with from Joe Blow. However, cops do this routinely w/DUI, Drivers' License, and Immigration checkpoints.
Judge the ACT and recognize these violent goons for what they are.
So ignorant gringos, please stay in your country (and stop exporting your deadly weapons to peaceful neighbors).
Hi Carlos, I speak spanish fine, no need to translate. I live in Acapulco. I call ALL prisons "kidnapping camps" as the government is the largest kidnapper in the world. And yes, I agree, the US running of guns into Mexico and bringing their horrible and deadly war on drugs is an abomination.
I have been "Kidnapped" many times in my life and was a guest of Texas for 21 months & 11 days when I was a youngster of 21. They called that Kidnap Camp a PRISON TOO !
Side note: Was wondering about the statistics of people in the USA that were RELEASED from prisons say, the last 20 years or so. I have a feeling that there are huge percentage of those people that are saying "I will NOT go again"... After a period of time I would guess that there is a HUGE percent of the population now and seems to me to be a time coming where there WILL BE basically an all out revolt against these kidnappers !
One of my fav quotes (Next of Kin) "You ain't seen bad yet, but it's coming"
WOW!
I'm glad you posted 1 of Riverside County's many, many economic SCAMS (charging the kidnapped victims for thier 'stay') Our Story is on the internet - PLEASE CHECK IT OUT) "Pro Per Inc" Franklin Cleaves and Trea Cleaves. There are 15 videos by Pro Per Inc co-founder, John Longenecker. We were targetted by Riverside County's own nazi dog catcher - Lesley Heunnekens. We boarded our horses out with Rivco's 'disaster boarding facility when the ranch we were moving to burned. Unbeknownst to us, Heunnekens had already been stalking. The R.E.A.R. volunteer STARVED our horses while we paid him to board and care. Then 2 horses were stolen, and then Heunnekens snuck around behind our backs and when she knew we were 100 miles away, swooped in with the vigelante volunteers and seized our 7 remaining horses. (CLAIMING IN A COURT OF LAW THAT "EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES MADE IT NECESSARY TO SEIZE OUR HORSES WITHOUT ANY NOTICE TO US!!!) We were then charged with FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY for what Riverside County did to our horses. Riverside COunty has CONFLICT DEFENSE LAWYERS (see Harmon and Gretch CDL Contract for defense #12) to "DEFEND" you. They don't ever talk to you or return phone calls. We found out through all of this that our 'defense attorneys' are actually Riverside District Attorneys." What a racket! Also check out ED LAWSON's Videos on Pro Per Inc (also Oprah, NBC, etc.) Ed Lawson took a case all the way to the US Supreme Court in 1983 (See Kolendar v. Lawson) Ed's videos are rivetting - describing how police target - mostly poor minorities. It's all about the money. That is what Animal Control is doing - assett forfiture - sneaking around stealing your PETS and holding for outrageous ransome - using courts to file bogus charges. ANYWAY THE VIDEOS say a lot - but People NEED to see them.
