From the New York Times:
By Jacey Fortin
May 9, 2019A New Jersey woman was convicted Thursday of forcing a Sri Lankan woman to work without pay for nine years, causing her to overstay her visa, and marrying her in an attempt to keep her in the country.
A jury found the defendant, Alia Imad Faleh Al Hunaity, 43, guilty on charges of forced labor, alien harboring for financial gain and marriage fraud. The jury had deliberated for two hours after a six-day trial before Judge Robert B. Kugler of the United States District Court in Camden.
Prosecutors did not name the victim, who they said took care of the woman’s children and cleaned her house, and was largely hidden from the outside world. They said she came to the United States on a temporary visa in 2009.
“The defendant in this case treated the victim as a slave,” United States Attorney Craig Carpenito said in a statement from the Justice Department. “Al-Hunaity kept the victim in this country illegally and hid her away, in order to force her to perform household work for Al-Hunaity without pay, privacy, or the ability to move about freely.”

Have you ever noticed how in these cases of immigrants keeping slaves in the U.S., the perps are almost always identified by their state of residence?
New Jersey woman! Vermont couple! Florida man!
For example, from the New York Times last month:
Texas Couple Get 7 Years in Prison for Enslaving Guinean Girl for 16 Years
By Mihir Zaveri, April 23, 2019
A couple who enslaved a Guinean girl for 16 years at their Dallas-area home, forcing her to cook and clean while calling her a “dog,” were each sentenced Monday to seven years in federal prison, the authorities said.
The couple, Mohamed Toure, 58, and Denise Cros-Toure, 58, of Southlake, Tex., who are citizens of Guinea, may be deported after their prison sentence, prosecutors said. They were also ordered to pay almost $290,000 in restitution.
They were found guilty by a federal jury in January of several crimes, including one count each of forced labor.
Mr. Toure is the son of Guinea’s first president, Ahmed Sékou Touré, who led the West African country for 26 years until his death in 1984.
Mr. Toure is such a deep-rooted son of Texas that his dad, the Dictator-for-Life, founded an African country. Here’s this Texas man’s father on the cover of Time Magazine in 1959 to represent “Black Africa: The Dawn of Self Rule.”
And here, in a storied moment in Texan History, is Texas Man’s dad telling President Charles de Gaulle to shove off, that independent Guinea would not be part of a “French Community” of ex-colonies, a renunciation much admired by black power advocates in the 1960s.
The benefits of third world immigration are simply endless. Now they’re importing slavery so they can feel more at home.
Because, you see, slavery is only a bad thing when white people do it, particularly in literature and the movies.
This is why the NYT tries so hard in its headlines to make these stories about white people. White people bad. That’s usually the “takeaway” no matter what the story is about.

“New Jersey is a very racially and ethnically diverse state. We are one of the top 3 most diverse states in the US with respect to racial/ethnic and foreign born populations. In 2011, racial/ethnic minorities made up over one-third (44 percent) of the total estimated population of New Jersey." [Source: New Jersey Office of Minority and Multicultural Health]
For example:
One of the founders of the famed New Jersey rap group the Fugees was charged Friday with conspiring with a Malaysian billionaire to make and conceal foreign campaign contributions during the 2012 U.S. presidential election.
Prakazrel “Pras” Michel and fugitive Malaysian financier Jho Low were charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States government and for making foreign and conduit campaign contributions, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The presidential candidate was referred to only as Candidate A in the indictment, but was identified in multiple reports as Barack Obama.
The object of the conspiracy was for Low to “gain access to, and potential influence with, Candidate A, and his administration,” with the help of Michel, the federal indictment said.

Just a couple of “New Jersey” lesbians. What’s the big deal?
Yeah, and you’re probably right about that Texas couple, Steve. Mr. Toure there sounds like he’s all hat and no guinea pigs.
The Koran allows slavery and what Allah has made legal, man may not make illegal. Slavery is perfectly acceptable in Islam, legally and culturally. Go on any Islamic website and you will see slavery defended, along with forced concubinage and rape. Of course it is different from the bad old American slavery – it’s a good slavery, including forced sexual relations. A Georgetown Muslim professor says so: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/georgetown-professor-defends-islam-slavery/

I’m kind of surprised it took them that long. Every time Unz.com is offline for a technical issue we always assume that the Stasi finally closed the site. Our rulers are surprisingly terrified of people like us who are so powerless and small in number. I wonder what they’re afraid of? Should we find it encouraging that maybe we’re something to be worried about, or are we just annoying but harmless gnats who occasionally get swatted?
The NYT should be shamed into publishing pictures of convicted perps in stories like this.
Article plays into the NYT style book that slavery has never ended in the USA.
The kinds of truths written out in plain sight like this scare the shit out of them. That’s all it is.

COMEY LIED TO A JUDGE, IN PRINT AND DEAD TO RIGHTS, REPORTED BY ENEMIES OF TRUMP
The Hill, an establishmentarian but often good source (cf WSJ), which hates the President (ie, we’re not talking about Fox here), reports that the FBI knew Steele was a worthless source before the “verified” FISA rubberstamp. This is bigger than Watergate.
The FBI lied in order to do the whole fake investigation of Trump.
The FBI allowed it to come out in writing that they lied to put together a fake investigation for political purposes.
The mess is solid enough that a Trump-hating respectable journal is reporting it.
This is not impenetrable “spy-vs-spy” babble, this is James Comey throwing himself off a bridge. But it would be terrible if he did that, because then CNN would be certain that it proved Russian involvement.

The “honor system.” The “honor system” that “governs” the FISA rubberstamp. It’s not criminals making deals, no, there’s an “honor system.” Good thing all those people got law degrees, so their pinky swears would be meaningful, but it’s still not known if everyone in the “honor system” is also “best friends for life.” Maybe now would be a good time for all those elite liars to revisit the FISA rubberstamp and USAPATRIOT act and all those things that substantiate our democratic system of law and order, which the Russians “interfered” with.

The NYT’s sneaky use of geographic identifiers is fully consistent with its woke philosophy — being a slave master automatically makes you an honorary American, while being the slave automatically makes you a foreign PoC martyr.
It would have been equally accurate of course to report: “South Asian enslaved New Jersey woman,” or “African man enslaved Texas resident.”

The truly sad part is that Chateau still believes Trump is his ally. Trump doesn’t need bloggers, especially ones on the right who might go off message, criticize his lack of success/commitment in actually stopping immigration, point out that Trump’s beloved Saudi Arabia funds Islamic terror, or question why Trump continues to support a hawkish invade the world foreign policy. Trump has decided that he can win the election based on a booming economy and low gas prices. The alt right is more of a threat to him than a benefit at this point. As long as Trump has a twitter account and Fox News in his back pocket he’ll be fine.
I think the "truly sad part" is the censorship -- the violation/destruction of 'Heritage America'.

Trump is likely to lose to either Sanders or Biden, neither of whom is HRC, and one of whom is the likely nominee -- Trump's win in 2016 was by a rather small margin in several key states, and over a candidate too many people absolutely despised -- he will find it a LOT more difficult to win a 'lesser of two evils' contest against either Biden or Sanders.Replies: @Art Deco
