Sawman Sawyer is a former United States Navy SEAL and Marine who now leads Vets for Child Rescue, a group dedicated to finding and rescuing victims of human trafficking. In this episode, Sawman shares his story of how he became involved in the fight against human trafficking, and how he and his organization are leading the fight to find and rescue victims of child trafficking.
00:07:51.460In their childhood, they were put through torture scenarios and rituals for wealth and power by the elders of a particular religious institution.
00:08:08.980Was it a satanic religion, or was it a religion purporting to be something else?
00:08:13.020It was a religion under the banner of Jesus, but at the top was infiltrated and run by people that are literally robe-wearing, satanic, child-slaughtering monsters.
00:08:26.340And there were hundreds of victims of this?
00:08:57.060Now, I take it out of the package, let it get down to room temperature.
00:09:00.620All I've got on here is a little salt, a little pepper, and then a little avocado oil.
00:09:04.920And then I've had my pan preheating with a little oil.

00:09:20.100The people in that religion, basically, by my observation, they worship the religion more than they worship God.
00:09:31.900They are more—it's a form of idolatry.
00:09:35.660They're more willing and more determined to protect the institution because it generates so much wealth and power for them than they are to protect the children.
00:09:47.520So even though there's a lot of child abuse within it, the children are made to be quiet.
00:09:53.760There's one distant cousin of my wife's in Arizona.
00:10:22.480But I don't want to start throwing that card down until we can demonstrate we've got all of the evidence down to where we're really—
00:10:30.300You are all over these trafficking networks.
00:10:33.160And you made a point earlier I want to double tap, which is that when there are these mass casualty events or these disasters, wars, caravans where children are not accounted for, there is this funded NGO network.
00:10:49.880And they look like they're there to save the children.
00:10:54.080But really, they're there to do something very different, and that is to redistribute those children to the highest bidder, right?
00:11:02.040I mean, is that what you're describing?
00:11:04.460And if so, how many people do you think have been impacted by this?
00:11:07.660Because I couldn't put a number on it, but we've seen the Catholic NGOs that were quite well exposed during the Biden administration when we just abandoned our southern border, and we had caravans bringing loads of people.
00:11:21.420How many children was it that the Biden administration was called?
00:11:24.360That was 325,000 that they admitted to.
00:11:28.500So that's the scale that you're talking about?
00:11:32.340They've trafficked millions of children globally.
00:11:34.720Well, talk us through how you disrupt this.
00:11:37.040What do you and your sort of band of pirates emerging out of Houston do to stop this?
00:11:44.340One of the things that we do are run sting operations.
00:11:47.000So we'll find a DA that will prosecute, because George Soros funds the campaigns of DAs, attorneys general, and judges with the agreement that they will not prosecute sex crimes against children.
00:11:59.700How that's not a glaring conflict of interest, I don't know.
00:12:03.100But it's been discussed in open congressional session on C-SPAN and others.
00:12:23.900You said that was what you learned as a SEAL, and now that permissive environment is being created by prosecutors who don't want to enforce these very important laws.
00:12:40.860So once we have an identified DA that will prosecute, we'll usually have federal, state, and local law enforcement that will come up to nine agencies involved at a time, usually less.
00:13:20.640And then within seconds, people will start sending them messages, and then vulgar messages, and then profane messages, and then pornographic pictures of this guy's genitalia.
00:13:33.200Is there a particular app or a social network where this happens more frequently?
00:13:37.100We've been learning a lot about roadblocks and how this has been used by predators to get access to young people.
00:13:43.200But what would you tell parents about how these apps rank and if there are any tools that can help them protect their families?
00:13:50.100Yeah, there's a lot of – the predators are going to go wherever they can.
00:13:53.120So it's like nailing Jell-O to a wall.
00:13:56.420Wherever you squish them and wherever you deny the predators, they're going to squirt somewhere else and use other apps.
00:14:06.980But we've got a list of apps on our website, v4cr.org, where you can go and see which ones are most problematic.
00:14:14.580Make sure those aren't on your child's phone.
00:14:16.940And if you're going to leave them there, make sure you know who your child is dealing with because some of these apps can surreptitiously, covertly be capturing video or stills of your child.
00:14:27.740And if your child – some of them can geolocate your child.
00:14:31.500So, you know, the Joe Predator is watching your child blink on his map as they're coming home from the school, you know, on the school bus and going to and get the mail or whatever, getting the paper.
00:14:58.020So the children hide their sexting with each other from their parents with these covert apps.
00:15:05.000And so you really have to have a relationship with your child and have these conversations and say, I'm not really just trying to deny you all fun.
00:15:13.800I'm trying to make sure you survive as a child in a time when there's a lot of predators that are after you on your smart devices.
00:15:21.120Going off of that, and I asked you this earlier, but I wanted to talk about this on the show.
00:15:25.100I have two young daughters, and this is like forefront of my mind now.
00:15:29.820What are some tips, suggestions, things you can tell parents to help protect their kids, just not outside of apps, just generally?
00:15:37.440Yeah, situational awareness, just like anything else.
00:15:41.340Have your child learn to have their head up and out and their eyes scanning any space they move into.
00:15:52.920Encourage your child to increase their situational awareness just by asking questions of their environment.
00:16:00.640Visually is a good standard to kind of teach them that.
00:16:04.540I used to take my daughter to the grocery store, and I'd be like, just wait before we get out of the car and just watch these ladies come to and from.
00:16:46.880So that I like to say visually first, like if you allow your brain to drink in what's going on in the space, you walk out in the hallway, just look left and right, and your brain will pick up on something that's not right.
00:19:16.240The producer came up with that title because he said, well, children are the new Contra Band, and the United States is the new Contra Land.
00:19:49.520But long story short, all my team and my wife and my daughter's counselor and my daughter and everybody else conspired against me and talked me into letting her do it.
00:19:59.800And eight years later, now she's our fiercest predator hunter.
00:20:09.180And the predators come for her like crazy.
00:20:11.980And she loves watching them get handcuffed and put into a squad car.
00:20:16.460Are there any times during these operations where you've been concerned for your physical safety or the physical safety of any of your team members?
00:20:23.040There has, but level of concern, you're talking to a tier one level counter-terrorist operator who's-
00:20:33.520Quite a few hundred, over 600 skydives and world records and combat and a bunch of different theaters.
00:20:40.260And, you know, it's so I'm a bit numb to what would terrorize the healthy-minded person or a normal person if you want to, you know, put that moniker on it.
00:20:50.540But what about even concern for your team?
00:20:52.820Yeah, well, I put body armor on my daughter.
00:20:55.720Any of our chatters, we used to have it to where the predator would come in the room with the junior decoy agent and with one of our other undercover agents.
00:39:29.320Well, you have, it's not all centralized.
00:39:34.960You've got a lot of people helping themselves in their own satanic cults and witch's covens and Luciferian groups and things like that globally.
00:39:48.560And so, yeah, you can't run anything at industrial scale in the continental United States without the Bureau and the agencies knowing about it.
00:39:57.720I mean, if we ran a legit lemonade stand out here on the weekend, how long would it be before someone's going to want their tax money?
00:40:05.560That happened just a couple weeks ago.
00:40:07.200Scale it up to a few hundred billion and then it goes away.
00:40:13.740Because hands, palms are greased and deals are made.
00:40:18.160So, you know, there's a friend of mine that was an assistant police chief and he studied high level organized crime in central United States,
00:40:27.340all the way down to the Gulf Coast for 14 years with multiple task forces.
00:40:31.260And he's figured out how BRICS nations are using their money, hundreds of millions of dollars for the payouts, the side deals for the politicians that they install and other officials in municipal bonds.
00:40:45.540Which, by the way, that's probably why BRICS fails.
00:40:47.420BRICS probably fails ultimately under its own corruption because of what you just described.
00:40:51.700You can't maintain a system like that where there's no predictable decision making beyond who's getting paid off.
00:40:57.080But I completely believe what your friend said.
00:41:30.680So my thing is, when President Trump got in, I'm like, okay, I'm a national security whistleblower.
00:41:36.460I blew the whistle on high-ranking SES-level executive from the top of the FBI when I was a federal air marshal manager.
00:41:42.600I need a meeting with Trump or Kash Patel or Dan Bongino at the top of the bureau and say, hey, here's my plan on how to purge any key agency of its corruption.
00:41:52.420I know how the deep state protects its corruption and therefore I know how to break it.
00:42:20.200And so I'm a lie to you, but in separating them and interviewing enough of them, you're going to develop patterns and you're going to know.
00:42:27.420And you fire all the ones that are corrupt.
00:42:29.720You prosecute the ones that are criminally corrupt.
00:42:32.960And then you promote the shining stars that are the genuine right fighters.
00:42:39.540The problem is it's been going the other way.
00:42:41.100This was a project I was hoping to endeavor upon because under Obama and Eric Holder, they flipped that on its head.
00:42:52.380They worked so hard to get people with extensive subject matter experience out.
00:42:57.820And the people that they brought in were the DEI hires and the Woketopians.
00:43:02.400And some of those people that came in as line prosecutors, line agents under Obama and Holder, now they're division chiefs.
00:43:09.240Now they're moving up and what you described is absolutely essential to preserve the republic because there comes a point at which they move so high in the organizational structure that the organization becomes entirely captive.
00:43:21.920I did want to take a moment tonight to talk a little bit about the inspiring stories of victims.
00:43:26.680You must have encountered victims of some of these events that have gone through a lot.
00:43:32.240And obviously in your own family, you shared an example.
00:43:35.400But are there other stories of people who have prevailed through this come out on the other side that you want to highlight?
00:43:42.220And I'll tell you that with all the horror that we see from the bad side, the good side is so much more powerful and so much more beautiful.
00:43:51.020And that's what really makes it all worthwhile.
00:43:53.420You see people that have been rescued, been delivered and healed, miraculously so, from horrible trauma, really deep trauma.
00:44:07.620So there have been people who have, one case was a lady, well, there's a few of us that, a few of them that taught us how a certain ritual goes as a standardized ritual that little girls were abused by a group of men in a church.
00:44:25.080And then they would make the church, and then they would make the church, and then they would make the girl cry out for Jesus.
00:44:29.040And one of them, dressed like Jesus with wardrobe and makeup, and they meant for it to be very real, would come and betray the girl, torture her, sexually assault her, and then abandon her.
00:44:41.600And so they meant for that person to never again accept any help from Jesus, because, oh, I remember that guy.
00:44:52.180And then they would take the girl through a veil into the next room, just outside of the sanctuary, the next room, and there would be a guy dressed up like Satan, and he would have what essentially sounded to me like a picnic and have all the girls' favorite foods there.
00:45:07.420Oh, you can have anything you want with me.
00:45:20.460About 12, is my understanding, is when they do this to these girls.
00:45:24.940So when you hear them, and one of them said to us, and I struggle to tell it to this day without choking up, and she said,
00:45:35.340while this fake Jesus was raping me, the real Jesus came to me, because in these highly demonized ritual ceremonies,
00:45:43.340what you'll learn to happen is these children, when there's a supernaturally charged atmosphere and satanic stuff is being done beyond human description, beyond words,
00:45:56.440they can see a lot of times into the spirit realm.
00:47:49.240She was just systematically sexually abused.
00:47:53.920But she said, in that sense, Jesus would come to her and reach out his hand before it would begin and say, you don't need to be here for this.
00:49:39.240Some of them are very highly educated.
00:49:42.160Some of them very successful with their families and everything to different degrees.
00:49:47.080Some of them we've interviewed are still very freshly traumatized and not there yet.
00:49:52.900But it's all valuable information because they can describe to you, matter of fact, like they would in a court of law, what they experienced.
00:50:00.120And you see some of these rituals are standardized.
00:50:15.000It seems a bit decentralized from after eight years, our investigations, from what I understand, it seems like there are multiple networks and multiple streams of this.
00:50:25.760I think it's just weak men worshiping the fallen for wealth and money and willing to do anything to get it.
00:50:34.300And it's just the lowest form of dysfunction.
00:50:37.240What is the, this is hard to articulate, it's so abstract, the spiritual motivation for these monsters to do something like this?
00:50:51.640Why does it have a spiritual aspect, I guess?
00:50:54.040Why do they need that as opposed to just being a disgusting human being on their own?
00:51:00.020Where does the spiritual aspect come into this?
00:51:07.980The Bible says Satan is the God of this world.
00:51:11.180Small g, and only for a season, but that's what it says.
00:51:16.340So I think that's allowed for us to be tested so we can choose between the Father's way and the way of ourselves, which is the way of the fallen, and to learn through that process.
00:59:05.900Someone with your skills could exploit those skills for great personal gain, wealth, power, and here you are fighting for the most vulnerable among us.
00:59:17.020And it's deeply inspiring, and it, I think, will cause other people to want to really have your back in these moments.
00:59:23.600Because the type of evil you're describing does lose in the end, but we have agency, too.
00:59:31.340And we have to use that agency, and you're a great example.
00:59:34.920Well, Pearson, thank you so much for bringing the Sawman in.
