FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda One victim named Debra who is portrayed in the exhibit had signed a contract with a family in Falls Church, Virginia, to work as a domestic servant and to care for children in the home. But she wasn’t being paid. She was rarely allowed to leave but was able to talk to an FBI agent on Sundays while walking a child to church. A handful of similar cases have arisen in Washington’s suburbs in Maryland and Virginia in recent years with some servants being threatened with deportation if they try to leave.
Another woman in the exhibit named Angie tells how she ran away from home as a teenager in Wichita, Kansas, and was picked up by a pimp with other girls and was forced into prostitution. “I just wanted to die,” she said.
The exhibit presents only their first names to protect their identities, and a disclaimer at the entrance warns visitors of its adult content.
Lincoln’s thoughts on slavery also are interwoven throughout the exhibit.
“Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature – opposition to it, in his love of justice,” he said in an 1854 speech in Peoria, Illinois.
In his 1862 State of the Union address he said, “In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free.”
Since 2007, the Washington-based Polaris Project has received about 45,000 calls to its tip line, including about 11,000 from victims or others calling to report suspected forced servitude or sex trafficking, said executive director Bradley Myles. More than 2,000 cases have been referred to law enforcement.
“I think that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Myles said, noting that not all slaves are held by physical force. “What has grown more is other, broader forms of coercion that are more psychological, are more subtle, are more economic.”
The cottage, located on a hilltop in northwest Washington, was the place where Lincoln and his family resided from June to November in 1862, 1863, and 1864 – the family residency for about a quarter of his presidency.
