supporters, they're all accessories to murder.
Whoa, did I say that out loud?

Clinton's own emails tell the real story, a story most democrats simply do not want to hear.

if you want to hang Trump, and only Trump, for such crimes,

You can't.

into which is being fed the raw anguish of rape victims and the pain of systemic sexism under which women live. And I have a problem with the whipped-up pharmaceutical formula that is being made and sold by it.

But I've made those clear here repeatedly and I decided recently I wouldn't lay out my views for the umpteenth time. Apparently the source material is so compelling that people continue to respond to it as if we were all sitting together in a room hearing the stories of rape victims from their own mouths, and deciding what, as a community, we should do. It's difficult, when one's own pain is activated by the pain of others, to remember that there's a bunch of hucksters, or would it be more accurate to call them pushers, standing in between the other victims and oneself, interpreting and shaping the stories, controlling how they are presented and with what other accompanying material, and, in general, doing everything one does to manage a coordinated media campaign. Obviously, the idea that this coordinated media campaign is being done because the people in control of five multinational corporations are deeply concerned for the well-being of rape victims is nonsensical. What their agenda actually is--other than restoring some credibility to their tattered reputations--is obscure to me. But I don't believe in road-to-Damascus conversion moments for multinational corporations or their governing boards.

Shit. I guess I just restated my views. I'm gonna make this the last time, though. The whole media operation squicks me out and makes me feel slimed. I don't like watching those grimy bastards get their hands on the topic of rape and sexual abuse.

My question is who traded whom?
I believe the slave trade video and issue has been exploited.
LIBYA'S SLAVE TRADE DIDN'T APPEAR OUT OF THIN AIR - It's a result of European immigration policy—and of pervasive anti-blackness in the MENA region.

One of the enslaved men being sold was Nigerian
(me: that is a man from one of the dozens of sub-saharan black African tribes, distinctly different to Berbers, who sometimes are black due to them mixing with sub-saharan tribes in the past centuries. If you want to dwell into tribal identities, this might give you an idea.)

According to the International Organization for Migration, Nigerians constituted the largest group of Africans who arrived in Italy in 2016, marking the first time the country of 186 million had surpassed the previous leading country of origin for asylum seeker ...

In 2008, several years before the Arab Spring, Italy agreed to pay Muammar al-Qaddafi—who by then had ruled Libya for 39 years—$5 billion over 25 years as reparations for their colonization of the African country. In exchange, Qaddafi agreed to stem the flow of refugees to Europe. Together, both countries began to capture asylum seekers who'd made it to sea and return them to Libya. Later, Qaddafi insisted that the European Union pay Libya $6.3 billion annually to keep refugees from reaching Europe, suggesting that Europe might otherwise "turn into Africa," given the number of black asylum seekers who would reach Italy if the E.U. did not accept his terms.

In 2013, there are news reports that militias are using Tripoli zoo to house asylum seekers from sub-Saharan Africa in cage

So how many nationals of Lybia are black sub-saharan Africans? Lybians are - according to DNA studies, 90% of the Arab Libyan population are Arabized Berbers.[8]. See for their tribal and ethnicities here. That explains what is mentioned in the following link as the "banalization of racial problems".

From The slave auction in Lybia

For large numbers of black north Africans, the banalization of a racial problem permeates the social, institutional, and political strata. When the black Tunisian poet, Anis Chouchene, laments “a society afraid of difference,” he decries the social debasement of black Africans as an inferior race. Scenes of racist and discriminatory practices are central to the social and cultural hierarchy in the Maghreb. Libya is no exception.

But this racism, I think, should be understood, as Fanon puts it, as a case of “a fight against non-national Africans” and not as a modern-day slavery. Against obvious references to chattel slavery, the human trafficking of sub-Saharan Africans by north African smugglers — at play in Tripoli’s migrant “auctions” — is organized around a debt bonding and forced labor that become possible as a result of contaminated imaginary and a complex system of social debasement.

Black Libyans are called “Fezzazna”, to refer to the southern region of Fezzan where they predominately live, but also to their socially distinctive inferior cast. In Benghazi, in the eastern region, a popular local market is commonly named “slaves souk.” Same as in Tunisia, where “Zinji” or “Aswad” (close to “Blakee”) are culturally accepted terms to refer to fellow black people because they are thought to be practical forms of reference which are now devoid of any racial charge. (me: bamboozling and kabuki weasel language manipulation is not only done by Americans and Europeans)
...
In the absence of a true transformative revolution, complex issues of negrophobia and xenophobia among Africans continue to exist. As Fanon summarizes, “From nationalism we have passed to ultra-nationalism, to chauvinism, and finally to racism.”
...
After independence in 1951, the brief existence of King Idris’ hereditary monarchy was replaced in 1969 by Muammar Gaddafi’s Jamahirya, a dictatorship which consistently violated basic human rights for Libyans and foreigners alike.... ultra-nationalism divides the western Tripoli-based and internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) and the eastern Benghazi-based Libyan National Army (LNA) ... This divide continues to contaminate the national and cultural imaginary in Libya, eventually descending into neocolonial racism.
...
During the popular uprising to topple Gaddafi and his regime, peculiar events have shaped the relationship between Libyan rebels and sub-Saharan Africans. Black African mercenaries, chiefly from amongst the Tuareg, were heavily recruited to join Gaddafi’s troops to crack down on protests. When the uprising turned into an armed conflict, black African workers and black African mercenaries faced increased hostility from Libyans and acts of revenge and killings were directed at them. ... . Amnesty International reported that sub-Saharan African migrants and refugees “became targets of stigma, discrimination and violence.”

The CNN report will not change much. In a nation torn by an ongoing bloody civil war, skyrocketing inflation, a failing economy and mass executions of prisoners, everyone is either in the smuggling business or the anti-smuggling business.

With the closing of the Libyan route to Italy, sub-Saharan migrants find themselves often in a position where they cannot pay their smugglers to be returned to their homes. Smugglers choose to sell the migrants to the highest bidder or entity, such as a militia). The buyers force the migrants into calling their families to ask to send this ransom money. Traffickers are reported to collect ransoms ranging from 2000 to 3000 dinars per person.

Ok, I am sufficiently disgusted and can't make up my mind, who is the biggest culprit in this mess.

Among many Libyans, news of “slave auctions” is met with bewilderment and shock. European military and political intervention and the coercion of Libya to become an ad-hoc gatekeeper of the migrant crisis has turned an already disastrous situation into an unmanageable one.

I always hate it when I can't make up my mind.
