As previously reported, thanks to Wikileaks we also know that Colbert did two appearances with Bill Clinton lauding the Clinton Foundation.
The guy is coming off as a total tool of that machine, so its kind of hilarious for him to do an entire bit on Pizzagate and act outraged and tell other people to grow the f*ck up.
Colbert titled it, Pizzagate Is An Alt-Right Fever Dream:
Just by the way, giving Pizzagate this much mainstream media attention in a me thinks he doth protest too much kind of way is just confirming for many people that the conspiracies are more fact than theory.
Iraq is both a source and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and involuntary servitude. Iraqi women and girls, some as young as 11 years old, are trafficked within the country and abroad to Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, UAE, Turkey, Iran, and possibly Yemen, for forced prostitution and sexual exploitation within households in these countries. Some victims are sexually exploited in Iraq before being sold to traffickers who take them abroad. In some cases, women are lured into sexual exploitation through false promises of work. The more prevalent means of becoming a victim is through sale or forced marriage. Family members have trafficked girls and women to escape desperate economic circumstances, to pay debts, or resolve disputes between families. Some women and girls are trafficked withinIraqfor the purpose of sexual exploitation through the traditional institution of temporary marriages (mutaa).. -U.S. StateDeptTrafficking in Persons Report, June, 2009[full country report]

Focus on Boys Trapped in Commercial Sex Trade
UN Integrated Regional Information Networks IRIN, August 8, 2005
A 16- year-old boy has started a desperate new life since being forced into the sex trade inBaghdad, joining a growing number of adolescents soliciting inIraqunder the threat of street gangs or the force of poverty."Every day I cry at night,"Feirazsaid. "I'm a homosexual and was forced to work as a prostitute because one of the people I had sex with took pictures of me in bed and said that, if I didn't work for him, he was going to send the pictures to my family.""My life is a disaster today. I could be killed by my family to restore theirhonour," he said, explaining that homosexuality was totally unacceptable in Iraq due to religious beliefs.
That underworld is a place where nefarious female pimps hold sway, where impoverished mothers sell their teenage daughters into a sex market that believes females who reach the age of 20 are too old to fetch a good price. The youngest victims, some just 11 and 12, are sold for as much as $30,000, others for as little as $2,000. "The buying and selling of girls in Iraq, it's like the trade in cattle,"Hindasays. "I've seen mothers haggle with agents over the price of their daughters." (See pictures of Iraq since the fall of Saddam.)
The trafficking routes are both local and international, most often to Syria, Jordan and the Gulf (primarily the United Arab Emirates). The victims are trafficked illegally on forged passports, or "legally" through forced marriages. A married female, even one as young as 14, raises few suspicions if she's travelling with her "husband." The girls are then divorced upon arrival and put to work. (See Iraq's return to "normalcy".)

I want a blue- eyed Yazidi': Teen describes IS slave market
Kidnapped, beaten, sold and raped: the Islamic State group is running an international market in Iraq where Christian and Yazidi women are sold as sexual slaves, a teenager who escaped told AFP Tuesday.
Jinan, 18, a Yazidi, was captured in early 2014 and held by Islamic State jihadists for three months before she managed to flee, she said on a visit to Paris ahead of the publication Friday of a book about her ordeal.
Seized as Islamic State fighters swept through northern regions inhabited by the Yazidi religious minority, Jinan was moved around between several locations before being bought by two men, a former policeman and an imam.
Once she was sold, Jinans days were punctuated by mens visits to the house where she was imprisoned with other women.
UN urged to investigate ISIS's bloody trade in human organs after Iraqi ambassador reveals doctors are being executed for not harvesting body parts
John Hall forMailOnline, The Daily Mail, 18 February 2015
The al- Monitor report also claims the terrororganisationhas even set up a specialist organ-smuggling division whose sole responsibility is to sell human hearts, livers and kidneys on the lucrative international black market.
'[Al- Mosuli] said that lately he noticed unusual movement within medical facilities in Mosul Arab and foreign surgeons were hired, but prohibited from mixing with local doctors,' the report's author wrote. 'Information then leaked about organ selling.'
The report went on: 'Surgeries take place within a hospital and organs are quickly transported through networks specialized in trafficking human organs.Mosulisaid that the organs come from fallen fighters who were quickly transported to the hospital, injured people who were abandoned or individuals who were kidnapped.'
Most of the organs are then smuggled out of Syria and Iraq into neighboring countries like Saudi Arabia or Turkey where criminal gangs sell them on to shady buyers across the globe, the Assyrian International News Agency reported.

"Freedom" has become a cruel joke.Saddam's regime was brutal, but it was secular, and women inIraqenjoyed a degree of freedom that their sisters in other Arab countries are denied. That has changed since the invasion.

Four Muslim Indian citizens say they and about 20 others were abducted by US military personnel inKuwaitand forced to engage in menial labor for troops at an unspecified base inIraq . They said they were paid $200 a month while forcibly held, enduring countless assaults on the base by Iraqi insurgents in addition to forced labor. After months of captivity, sixteen of the men managed to escape and make their way home to India. One of the men said he was beaten by American personnel when he demanded to be allowed to leave the base. The men said soldiers told them the military had paid a Kuwaiti firm $1000 a head for the laborers and, thus, they would not be allowed to leave.

Combating Prostitution, Human Trafficking InIraq
Press Release: Commission On Security AndCoperationInEurope, 30 May 2003
Eight Members of the United States Helsinki Commission have written to Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage requesting information about State Department efforts to ensure thatU.S.contractors do not participate in prostitution or human trafficking- related activities inIraqor elsewhere, citing similar problems in the OSCE region. The letterinquiresabout the Administrations efforts to fight the emergence of prostitution and human trafficking industries in post-conflict Iraq spurred by an influx of international personnel from the United States and other countries.
In the chaos of the post-war environment, inIraqnormal community networks that protect children are not fully functioning. That can leave children exposed to exploitation. Hundreds of thousands of children are trafficked each year around the world for brutal childlabourand sexual abuse.
While well-meaning people around the world might think that international adoption is a legitimate way to help some of these children quickly, UNICEF is concerned that too often unscrupulous child traffickers will try exploiting the chaos and trying to pass themselves off as legitimate agents of good. htsc

Human Rights Reports » 2005 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices
U.S.Deptof State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, March 8, 2006
TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS Detection of trafficking was extremely difficult due to lack of information because of the security situation, existing societal controls of women, and the closed-tribal culture. There were reports of girls and women trafficked within the country for sexual exploitation.Five European countries successfully stymied a criminal network trafficking Iraqi citizens toTurkey,Greece,Italy,France, and theUnited Kingdom , reportedly for commercial sexual exploitation within the European Union.The MOI has responsibility for trafficking-related issues, but the demands of the security situation relegated trafficking to a lesser priority. Trafficking crimes were not specifically enumerated in MOI statistics on criminal activity. There were no government sources of information; the MOI did not track these crimes or include them in the police training curriculum or conduct trafficking-related investigations.
Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC)
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 9 October 1998
[26] The Committee notes with concern that the economic exploitation of children has increased dramatically in the past few years and that an increasing number of children are leaving school, sometimes at an early age, to work to support themselves and their families. In this regard, the Committee is also concerned about the existing gap between the age at which compulsory education ends (12 years old) and the minimum legal age for access to employment (15 years old). The Committee recommends that research be carried out on the situation with regard to child labor in the State party, including the involvement of children in hazardous work, to identify the causes and the extent of the problem.

" Then-Attorney General Eric Holder urged his international counterparts to block the flow of thousands of foreign fighters to Syria, which he termed a cradle of violent extremism. Speaking at a conference in Norway in July 2014, Holder warned:
We have a mutual and compelling interest in developing shared strategies for confronting the influx of U.S.- and European-born violent extremists into Syria. And because our citizens can freely travel, visa free, from the U.S. to Norway and other European statesand vice versathe problem of fighters in Syria returning home to any of our countries is a problem for all of our countries.15
So, either the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing - or - both hands are just doing bidness as usual by propping up straw enemies, like ISIL, and then burning them down... for profit.
