More than 200 girls abducted, and no one seems to give a shit

Why? And, while we’re on the subject, why hasn’t the West gone in there, to get them back?

    1200 missing native women in Canada and the RCMPMO isn’t intrested in finding them either.

    Reading the various accounts, I see a trend some have to make this a race issue. And I don’t feel it is. This is, pure and simple, a gender issue. The reasons for these women’s abduction vary… so exactly what atrocity would it have to be for the world to recognize that this is so incredibly wrong? How many women does it take around the globe? Because frankly, I am starting to feel like there is no number. As long as we have abhorrently successful, and unspoken, human trafficking commerce in North America, I don’t know that any amount of women lost in Nigeria will make a difference. It is sickening. So please, someone give me even ‘A’ reason as to why this is not a bigger issue. I am completely gobsmacked.

      I suspect in our global village it becomes increasingly difficult to ignore criminal evidence that women and children are either collateral damage or expendable commodities in conscripted service to the power elites, whatever/whomever/wherever the “power elites” are defined to be.

    Believe me, my jaw hit the floor, and I hope that many, hell, all of them can find their way home, but western intervention will unleash an unmitigated clusterfuck, it didn’t work in Iraq, didn’t seem to work in the Ghan, and only the most bloodthirsty amongst us believe it will work, or is necessary, in Iran

    Oil still flowing so who cares, right? Nigeria already in the western orbit. Not difficult really. The minute a real democratic government comes to power in Nigeria the place will be swarming with drones and crawling with Marines — both US and British.

    No one seems to give a shit, either, about the 1,000 missing aboriginal women in Canada who appear to barely warrant investigations never mind a public inquiry.

    No one seems to give a shit, either, about the thousands & thousands of (yet to be investigated by police) child abuse incidents that occurred at Indian Residential Schools under the auspices of the federal government. Is there a statute of limitations for the perpetrators of child abuse – within Canada?

    Considering Canada’s track record regarding missing and abused aboriginal women and children, Canada has zero credibility assisting foreign countries investigating and/or otherwise dealing with their perpetrators of mass child abuse.

    I don’t think western countries don’t care, I think that western countries don’t know what to do that wouldn’t make the overall situation a whole lot worse, C.Jones is right.
    I’m going to go ahead and reference the elephant in the room on this one and see where it goes. It’s not an issue of gender, it’s an issue of culture and the value that culture places on that gender. Is it a coincidence that the majority of these major incidents of crimes against women wanting education take place in Islamic states? Whether it’s Boko Harem kidnapping girls from a school or the Taliban shooting 16 year old girls or attacking schools that educate girls or honor killings, burqas, rape prosecutions, it is all just symptoms of a larger issue – how Islam values women.

    • Coelocanth_Jones says:

      Since you have invoked me here, I deem it necessary to encourage readers to read up on the treatment of women in hasidic judaism, Quiverfull movement, FLDS, dharmic honour shame societies, and numerous other belief systems both secular and religious around the world before singling out Islam for being the source of all the world’s mysogyny

      • WestGuy says:

        I only referred to your comment in that I agree with the quagmire/blowback aspect of western intervention.

        I didn’t state that Islam is the only source of mysogyny in the world, The examples you provided prove that. The reference by others in this discussion to the missing native women in Canada indicate we’re not entirely faultless in this aspect.
        What sets Islam apart from those examples are the number of followers. When any one of those belief systems (secular or religious) has the same number of followers as Islam, then they would likely face a similar degree of global scrutiny. That said, Boko Haram aren’t hasidic jews, nor is al queda or the taliban. So just because “they’re not the only ones” doesn’t mean they aren’t a significant contributor to the problem worldwide.

  7. Bill Jackson says:

    Premise A: Intelligence reports link the mass kidnapping to Boko Haram, the al-Qaida-linked jihadi group. Amnesty International says 1,500 people have been killed this year in the conflict between Boko Haram and Nigerian security forces, more than half of them civilians. The latest bombing by the group was in Abuja, on the same day the girls were abducted, in which at least 70 people died.

    B: Al-Qaeda القاعدة‎ is a global militant Islamist and takfiri organization founded by Osama bin Laden, Abdullah Azzam, and several other militants, in Peshawar, Pakistan, at some point between August 1988 and late 1989, with its origins being traceable to the Soviet War in Afghanistan. It operates as a network comprising both a multinational, stateless army and a radical Sunni Muslim movement calling for global jihad and a strict interpretation of sharia law.

    C: Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter’s National Security Advisor, utilized militant Islam in Afghanistan and was the mad doctor Frankenstein who created Osama Bin Laden and Al Quida: “Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.”

    D: Alexander Trudeau’s documentary “The New Great Game,” “producers in association” with Iran’s state-funded propaganda arm Press-TV, trotted out the well-ripened Brzezinski to build their case his case against Israel and the “West.”

    Conclusion: these tragic girls are collateral damage in the Islamist-proxy-utilizing Liberal-Marxist “Great Game” to usher in some internationalist utopia and punish Israel, Canada, indeed all nations who resist the Great Society. If you’re really serious about helping these girls, denounce Trudeauism and its debauched internationalism that coddles fundamentalist Islam under the cover of multiculturalism – the “root cause” if you please.

    The word “marry” was used in some headlines. Forced to “marry”. Not “Will be raped repeatedly, used as slaves”, but “marry”. Maybe that’s where the indifference lies. Women have been pressured, sold, traded into “marriage” for centuries. Heck, we still allow it in Bountiful. Perhaps the thinking is that “marriage” will somehow make it legitimate.

  9. Kelly says:

    If the Nigerian men can’t protect their women why should we put Canadian soldiers in harm’s way? Nigeria has massive oil revenues and if they can’t or refuse to maintain stability in their country against terrorists Canada shouldn’t butt in.

  10. e.a.f. says:

    well Warren if you haven’t figured it out yet, here is why”: the women are not “white”. They are black.

    In Canada we can’t get the government to really investigate what happened to at least 800 First Nations women so why do you think this government would take any interest in 200 African women. Come on man.

    Whether the women are being “married” or “stolen” or forced to work as sex slaves, none of it matters. Most governments just don’t care. They aren’t white and they are women who are not wealthy.

  11. Meany says:

    It’s horrible, yes. But we aren’t the world’s policemen.

    And if Nigerians aren’t able to do it, what makes you think a couple of kids from Kansas or Saskatchewan, with uniforms and guns in an unfamiliar country, will be able to?

  12. America goes to Nigaria to save 200 women. NO they dont really give a shit they want the oil andk girls . the other raw materials what do they care about 200 poor black girls. And if you say america wants to make world peace i just tell youu that you did the most wars and thatyour media manipulates us and our minds of the world.
