You're The Voice | by Efrat Fenigson - The UN's Darkest Secret (El Salvador Exposed It) - Bob McDonell | Ep. 118

Starting point is 00:00:00 Why am I not surprised in my podcast that we are revealing another atrocity coming from the House of United Nations? Truckloads of children in Africa were taken out of orphanages and dumped in the cities where they were taken away from because of abuse. And of course, the incentives came from UNICEF and the United Nations. There was a very famous study done by one of the psychiatrists at Harvard. He went to Bucharest and did a study on children in orphanages, like the conclusion of the study was the children are more are more likely to be abused in an

Starting point is 00:00:35 orphanage than they are in their own family the gangs would just knock on your door and and they would just say your daughter's now 10 and i know she needs special attention and care i just want to know if it's okay if i you know if i protect her and care for her i'm just asking your permission this is the same gangs that will kill you if you say no there's these four kids that need help They're like on the streets, they've been abandoned, they're in the war zone. If you don't take them, they're going to die. Okay, I'll take them. This is one of the biggest problems of society today,

Starting point is 00:01:06 that the darkness is so dark and it's so pervasive everywhere, and we are not courageous enough to face it and to look the truth in the eyes and call it out and then put these people away. Hello and welcome to another episode of You're The Voice. I am here in El Salvador adopting Bitcoin conference. This is second and last day and I have the honor of sitting here with Bob. How are you, Bob? I'm so happy, so fantastic.

Starting point is 00:01:44 This is so beautiful to be here. It's so great to be here and what a privilege to finally sit down and talk to you. Yes. I've learned about your initiative when I was first in El Salvador a year ago, but I haven't had the chance to visit yet. And next time I come, I promise I will come down there. But I've already understood enough to know that it's worth having a conversation with you and learning about what you do. Because I think people need to be exposed to your mission. and so can you start by just giving some background about who you are and what led you

Starting point is 00:02:22 to come here to El Salvador I was born and raised in Buffalo New York and went to my parents worked very hard my dad worked in a factory my father was one of 12 and they sent me to Catholic school I went to St. Andrews in Cardinal O'Hara I went 12 years to Catholic school was sure I was going to be a priest for the longest time yes and then i um realized yeah a priest just in the previous interview as well really wow i was like i had sent away for information from the marinal missionaries i was ready to go to south america you know to be like a missionary priest and then you know this crazy thing happened that happens to teenagers it's called like puberty and and stuff and It's like, oh my gosh, wait a minute, abstinence.

Starting point is 00:03:12 I think I understand it better now. And so I was like, okay, no, my calling is to chase girls, and it's not to be a priest. And everything changed, right? And so, you know, I grew up, and I did eventually really connect with God through a girl. There was a young girl in our neighborhood named Bonnie McKinstry, and she was so cute. and she invited me to this place called the house of life right and so is this crazy the house of life in buffalo new york on delaware avenue in buffalo new york did that give you the inspiration to call yes so yes so i've been praying for a long time what do i call the mama and baby shelter

Starting point is 00:03:55 and uh one day i just woke up in the house of life that's it you know because the house of life is where i really like so bonnie took me there and they were the coolest guys right this is back in the late 60s early 70s right where you know the hippie movement was cool motorcycle guys you know easy rider all that kind of stuff and so at the house of life there was all these really cool dudes with long hair and they were all part of the jesus freak movement out of california out of you know san francisco hate ashbury and stuff there was a huge movement and a spiritual movement in the United States and, um, with Arthur Blessed and all these guys. And these guys were from that movement. They came up there and they started, um, uh, the house of life. Right. And so I started

Starting point is 00:04:46 going there. We were like, sit, you know, and it was like, you know, sitting on the floor with, no shoes on. And we were like having communion and stuff and reading, reading the, uh, first Corinthians 13, which is about love, about how love is patient and kind and everything. And while I was sitting there, I just like got overwhelmed by God. I mean, I don't even know what happened. I just like fell on the floor. Like God, the creator of the universe just said, oh, you want to know what love is? I'll show you a little bit. Well, I'm like, it's like, you can't even handle it god is the love of god is so big that um he can't reveal himself completely to us i think we would die yes when you look at the stars when you look at everything that god has done it's like

Starting point is 00:05:36 i think the vessel is not prepared for that frequency exactly and so um that showed me so i you know started carrying my little bible to catholic you know classes and stuff and you know Catholics are awesome. They're like, Oh, you've got a Bible. That's cool. You know? And so anyways, you know, graduated from high school, went away to study physics and mathematics at, I started in Jamestown community college. We weren't rich, you know? So I, like I wanted to go, you know, where they had a nuclear reactor and, you know, study theoretical physics. And so we, I figured, well, I better start in Jamestown community college. They had an awesome professor there, Dr. Lucy. She was very inspirational. And then I just realized that if you're a theoretical

Starting point is 00:06:23 physicist, there's not a lot of work to do. And I realized I'd have to go to school and get my PhD and just finances and everything else. I just thought, you know what? I just want to make a lot of money and have a really cool car. That was my next goal in life. So anyways, I met this guy in Buffalo that owned a steel company said you should get yourself a suit and learn how to sell and it's like it was good advice so um my dad's factory had closed in Buffalo a few years earlier I had a painting company I was helping to get myself through college with and it's like I'm going to move to Arizona with my family I started working in sales there I had like 12 different jobs in a very short period of time because when you have no experience in sales

Starting point is 00:07:10 the first the only people that take you are people that have crummy products right because you know good products you have to have a oh like drug sales and well you have to have a college degree and all this stuff and so anyways i was like selling sewing machines and like cb radios and uh crazy stuff like that and i just can't and i would do really well until i would find out that what i was selling wasn't the best like there was a place where you could get it cheaper or the quality of what I was selling wasn't that good. And that would lose my faith in what I was selling. And so eventually I ended up with a company that sold snacks and stuff. And I worked my way up in the company. I became their sales manager, then their national sales manager. I met my wife in

Starting point is 00:07:57 Arizona. We got married in 1978. And then they sent me around the country opening up franchises for them, hiring the sales crews. And my wife and I lived in like 10 different places the first year of our marriage. And then I moved back to the corporate office. They made me the vice president of the company. I was really young. I was probably like, I was 23 years old. And I was like, I've got this. I've got a great job. I've got, you know, a company, a beautiful company car. And I'm unhappy. It's like, because God, if you, so the question is, is there a God? I knew there was a God. and does he have a purpose for my life at first i thought it was to be a priest i never thought it was like to make a lot of money have a cool car but it's like i've got

Starting point is 00:08:42 all this stuff i'm not happy a beautiful wife and it's like there's a purpose for my life so i started fasting and praying thank god they didn't have a cold plunging back there i probably would have liked started cold plunging i will not do cold plunging so anyways don't act don't invite me okay anyways never say never right so like you know maybe one day i'll do a cold staying open yeah i'm staying open i'm staying open okay i'm grounded so anyways i started fasting and praying i get this download that was before downloads like we're talking like 1978 there is no such thing before downloads it always existed just maybe it was popular and people weren't talking about and there was no internet there was no internet no computers there was the

Starting point is 00:09:28 ibm but you didn't download you but like i bet you it's not the first time god has spoken to people exactly before it was in it's written in the bible absolutely dreams and visions and so i have this vision i'm sitting at my desk i have this vision from god you know to find children that need the help the most to give them food clothing and shelter and a loving home environment to give them occupation and give them training and education, occupational training so they can care for themselves one day and to do everything in God's name. And so when you're 24, yeah, 24 years old. And so like, and like, I grew up in Buffalo, New York. Right. And so I didn't really care about kids. They're like, if I had a girlfriend, like the kids were like these,

Starting point is 00:10:16 like, don't, don't touch me. You know, I have these really cool white pants on, you know, and like, they're sticky, they're dirty. And so anyways, I have this vision, right? So God does a download. He does a heart transplant on me. Like, because I didn't care about kids. I told everyone in my office, I just had this vision from God. And it was like, wow, that's cool. But I mean, they didn't have it. So it wasn't as cool for them as it was for me. So I drive home and I, I see a child cutting grass, you know, in front of my house and I'm like moved to tears. I'm like, I think I had cried like when I was a baby in Buffalo, you know, it's kind of a tough place. And so you never, if you're a guy, especially you never cries. Like, I think I

Starting point is 00:10:56 cried when my dog, I cried as a baby. I cried when my dog died and I cried when I got the download from God and saw a child. It's like, what is going on? You know? So a heart transplant. And so it's like, oh, wow. And, you know, I told everybody, told my wife, I'm like, oh, that's cool. And I'm like, OK, now what? You know, so that was that would have been like 1979, let's say. So I married my wife in 78 and my father in law wouldn't come for a wedding because he was like he was like, I'm going to die on the ground. I'm never going in a plane. So in 1982, I came to El Salvador and landed at the airport, you know. Why did you come? Ever find yourself needing cash but refusing to sell your Bitcoin? That's real life for many Bitcoiners.

Starting point is 00:13:04 i find my treasure super easy to use and recommend it to my friends and family enjoy my five percent discount on treasure product by clicking the link in the show notes and using the code flat to meet my father-in-law okay so um so your wife was salvadorian yeah so she was an exchange student it's another story like you know in buffalo like mostly irish girls polish girls african-american girls and stuff and and like never met any spanish girls you know but we had heard there's like these amazon girls right from from south america right so when i first met my wife and in at the i was working at a business college a sales in the business college was a private business college i met my wife and she's like i'm from el salvador okay central in 82 you came to el salvador yeah

Starting point is 00:13:54 so 82 came back let's go back to 82 came to el salvador my father-in-law picks me up i first i think would like the gorillas are going to shoot down the airplane with a you know a guided missile or something we land again my father my father-in-law comes in his volvo we're driving from the airport, there's a river you pass. I see it every time we come from the airport. I look down it. I remember looking down and seeing ladies washing clothing in it. And I just, I heard God say, this is where I want you to start. And I thought everybody, I'm like, did you guys hear that? You know, God is speaking. And they're like, no, we didn't hear anything. But I heard like an audible, for me, it was an audible voice, but I guess it wasn't because, or maybe, or maybe he

Starting point is 00:14:36 plug barriers and i heard it but and he was like okay and so then in i had we started the business back in oregon um this is my life goes around all of these different places but the company remember i said we moved like to 10 different places eventually we decided to start our own company in portland oregon this was so beautiful portland right it's a river that flowed through it it was conservative you know it's a little bit different now but they're getting a lot of attention now for being different but um during those times it was a beautiful place and so we started uh started our company there and um i left um we had made enough money with our business that i was able to come down here in 1984 to do this thing that god called us to do

Starting point is 00:15:26 and I was here for six months and my mother's like you're out of your seeing that venture yourself yeah yeah because you know so I'm going to start you're going to start an orphanage right and like there is no orphanage so like who's going to donate money to you right with you know when you have a download from God before downloads technically existed right visions existed so I came down here I told the government I had this vision from God they said do you know that the Salvation Army and the Peace Corps just left El Salvador because we're in the middle of a civil war I said yes but I have a vision from God and I heard God speak to me that we're supposed to come here and start and I don't know what it was but like they're like

Starting point is 00:16:08 this guy's nuts and so eventually the attorney that was helping us get our paperwork son said you have to pay these guys some money in order to get permission and I'm like no I'm not gonna pay a bribe you know it's god god doesn't need me to pay a bribe so it took five years to get official permission to start we were helping kids but unofficially then okay like kind of volunteers in the middle of nowhere um five years you got five years we got permission so 1989 we start and then uh we they give us one boy we're in san miguel right and so we're like in the middle of war zone and um they give us one kid and um they're watching us and then all of a sudden hey this guy's taking care of kids so there's these four kids that need help they're like on

Starting point is 00:16:58 the streets they've been abandoned they're in the war zone if you don't take them they're going to die okay i'll take them and then you know there's two more that you know and and as it started coming you had no problem like okay bring like for you this is that's it that's what i'm doing So I call me to do. Yes. Okay. And no donors, just money from my business. And your wife doing that? Yes. Yeah. My wife was helping my wife. My wife supports me. She did not hear you than her. Yes. You practically raising those kids. Yes, exactly. So my wife is awesome because she lets me do what God's called me to do. And she's seen what the Lord has done through our work. And so she's like, well, I did not receive the calling he has, but I'm his wife and I'm going to support him.

Starting point is 00:17:47 So she lets me do all this stuff. We've been married 47 years now. Wow. So yeah. So anyways, we get one kid, four more kids, two more kids. And I'm like, and I feel, I realized, oh my gosh, we need another home. So he started, got another home in San Miguel. And then I'm late.

Starting point is 00:18:06 And then the government keeps calling me because they're in the middle of a war. Kids are being abandoned everywhere. And so I formed a board before that. And the board said, Bob, you got to stop, man. You like don't even have enough money or from your company to do this. And let's just raise these first 28 kids. And so we did. Now there's a doctor who works in the hospital.

Starting point is 00:18:29 what's really amazing is none of those kids have abandoned their own kids or abuse their own kids and so it's a cycle breaking a cycle it's not easy it doesn't happen just like helping someone on a short-term basis you literally have to take somebody in and breaking a cycle is not easy but you can do it you can do it so some of those kids are like 45 years old now they're old huh yeah uh and so i always joke with him you're really old 45 so anyways and they still come to visit oh yeah so like you know with facebook and instagram and yeah you can you can follow everybody everywhere the average age that they would leave um you know i don't have an in the government orphanages in many orphanages when uh the san vicente which is catholic kind of

Starting point is 00:19:22 combination orphanage with the government they when they're 18 they're gone they're put on kind of put on the street which was a problem because the kids just go right back into the cycle of abuse so no for me i have a boy that's with me right now finishing up his second engineering degree he's 27 he'll be 28 he'll probably you say whenever they want to leave that's when okay so by um they're in protective custody till they're 18 then you know 18 comes and i tell them you know that doesn't mean anything other than you know now you have more responsibility now you need to be a good example for the little ones you got to continue nobody is stagnant here i don't believe and there's no victims and there's no stag stagnacity or what i don't know how you say it

Starting point is 00:20:11 But stagnation, stagnation, that's it. I'm teaching you in English. No stagnation. We don't have it. I don't allow it. We're moving forward because we've been blessed to have all these opportunities. And so we have to take advantage of them. And so as long as they're helping, they can stay like right now on my board. I have four of the kids that grew up with us. Right. And what's the role of the board there? We have our board meetings and they're like they help me run what we're doing here i'm i'm sort of i'm getting a little bit older myself so i've the operations i'm turning over to my staff and the kids here um at the house of life one of the girls who had her i mean who was terribly trafficked and had the most beautiful

Starting point is 00:20:59 baby girl she's on my staff now at 18 she's turned 18 she got her ninth grade equivalency and she's gonna um she wants to be on staff she wants to make money to help care for her baby instead of just receiving and she's starting her uh to study for her ged and so the most the greatest resource we have in fact anybody who runs an orphanage or a home for children if you take out your 18 year olds you're taking out your greatest resource because but when the little kids come in when you know my god oh when one of our when one of these kids comes in they don't believe anything an adult has told them they've been lied to yeah there's no trust they have they haven't trusted their own parents their own relatives their own grandpa

Starting point is 00:21:49 their own primos or cousins or whatever and so um they come in and and the but what they do trust the other kids it's like okay is there is there food here do you get to get food or um yeah we eat like three times a day and we have snacks too and it's like and we get to go to school really yeah like not just any school if if you're really good and you and you study hard you can go to like bilingual schools um and like okay so do they hit you here no no does anybody like Melissa hit you yeah hit you or do they touch you here does anybody you know no no this is like this place is love and they're like wow and so your kids who are 18 the other the younger ones look up to them they see okay yes they're the ambassadors they're the ambassadors and pretty

Starting point is 00:22:44 and when they're 18 if they're really doing well like i let them go to driving school they get their driver's licenses and they can have a cell phone none of our kids have cell phones until they're 18 and then they can't even have they don't have a job what's the point first off you can't afford a cell phone and secondly you can't afford to put the to get internet service on there's no point right yeah so that's what we do and so anyways that's how the kids grow up and that's how they um live with us how many kids today are in the house so we have um 49 kids right now we have 18 girls in the girls home and these guys are 18 yeah these are four of the 18 here they're observing they're observing yes and then at the house of life there's eight eight um

Starting point is 00:23:35 teenage mamas and 11 babies originally we had hope to um we're doing a study with harvard so it's kind of crazy but tell me about yeah but first tell me hold on so the kids that the the their babies and mamas and kids without i mean yeah so the girls the girls house are there none of them have had babies okay at the 18 at the girls house at the house of life which is like you said what you went to the house of life yes named at the house of life so at the house of life there are um eight mamas and 11 babies and what's the average age for the moms um probably 15 like a couple of the girls at the house of life three of them you know had their first child when they were between 10 and 12 right and um and so originally we had said you know rates because of

Starting point is 00:24:28 um yeah uh some some with their own fathers uh some um being sold and trafficked and apparently whatever control they were using didn't work or maybe they hadn't even reached the age where they could have kids and all of a sudden kaboom you know oh my gosh and um so anyways yeah so originally with the study we're doing with harvard we wanted to get girls that on their first pregnancy but then when the government called me it's like this girl's um 15 and she has a four-year-old and it's like and she's pregnant and i'm like well if we don't intervene and receive her, she's going to be pregnant again in two more years and pregnant. It just keeps going and going and going. And so when you save one girl, no, you're not saving one, you're saving

Starting point is 00:25:22 her, her baby, and probably seven, eight, nine, 10 more babies that will just fall into the same cycle of abuse. And so, so I, we decided that, okay, we'll do, we'll take, we've taken three girls that already had a child when they came in and the rest. So that's how we have 11 babies and only eight girls yeah our original plan was that we would help these girls have healthy babies get them some skills and help them reintegrate with healthy family members and we have some have gone back to live with their sisters who are of age some have gone to live with maybe a grandma but the girls we have right now like the families are the ones that abused them or trafficked them Is that a common thing here in El Salvador?

Starting point is 00:26:12 Yeah. And is it more so common than in other places? No, I would say it's probably the same in most of Central America. El Salvador is getting better because, let me tell you what's happening. So we're throwing guys in jail. It's awesome. So, you know, if you look at the culture in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador before the Bukele administration, The guys would look at girls and be like, oh, wow, she's, you know, Manzana Verde means she's, you know, not quite ripe yet, but maybe she's 11 or 12.

Starting point is 00:26:48 And then as soon as the girls start to change a little bit, like, gosh, like, oh, great, you know, we can we can take have these girls. And now and, you know, they know it's not right, but everybody does it right. And if, you know, something happened before, it'd be like you go to a judge, you'd hire an attorney and be like, OK, well, you're going to support the child or you're going to get married and you're OK. Now the guys go to jail. So if they're being caught being with a minor, they can go to jail. Yeah, we just sent somebody to jail for 14 years. We just sent another mama who sold her daughter for 30 years. um yeah and so it's like the people in the communities are like what you know he so it's

Starting point is 00:27:35 changing it's changing it's gonna take time yeah but uh it's changing it's huge and el salvador is kind of leading the way because now there's um well before the gangs were taking so before um the you know the msa the the gangs would just knock on your door and they would just say you know mr mcdonald your your daughter's now 10 and i know she needs special attention and care i just want to know if it's okay if i you know if i protect her and care for i'm just asking your permission this is the same gangs that will kill you if you say no god and so yeah and they would just take them and so they get pregnant i want to introduce you to abundant minds because they take a very different approach to bitcoin mining most people buy bitcoin but the smart ones mine

Starting point is 00:28:23 it straight into self-custody. With Abundant Minds, you can do it without giving up your privacy. Abundant Minds was founded by Bo and Christine Marie Turner, a couple who lost more than half a million dollars to providers making empty promises. Instead of walking away, they built a company that raises the industry standard and puts client first. And that's why I like them. With Abundant Minds, you own your machines. They never touch your Bitcoin, never skim a revenue share and you choose your own mining pool their customer care is unusual clients speak to a real person for self-custody education privacy consulting and even visiting their site they serve clients from around the world but u.s investors specifically enjoy a big tax benefit

Starting point is 00:29:11 and 100 bonus depreciation this is more than just mining bitcoin it's about freedom privacy and purpose you can book a free strategy call see how it works and mine some of your first bitcoin for free with a special offer for my audience learn more on abundantminds.com slash effort and the parents will give them because they don't want to die yeah they want to die yeah okay and what about trafficking people around the area so um a thing or yes and so um there's different definitions of trafficking right i have my own definition and that is someone yeah forced against your will to do something you don't want to do outside of your protected home environment to me that's trafficking now some people define it as well they have to pass a border and for me the

Starting point is 00:30:07 border is your nuclear family and that's the border so it can be trafficked in your own in your own country and that's what's happened to a lot of our girls they've been they've passed their protective family border which is you know installed by god you know a mother a father a family and so a lot of our girls most workers the question that i'm sure a lot of my audience is aware of but i don't think many people want to talk about it or know much about it and i totally understand that but i think it's important to say is there any satanistic work involved like satanic rituals and things like that because these are things that are coming out now for example in israel where i come from where there is a lot of that shit yeah um over the years i've

Starting point is 00:30:56 received kids that have had uh you know scars on them and burn marks on them and i they've been through some sort of some sort of rituals and stuff and uh you know we um with god uh we like there's there's evil and there's good and good is so much more powerful than evil so we just take the kids in yeah you know the most difficult thing is um especially with boys is the sexual abuse from men against men it's very very difficult but we do it and we've we've come through it but it's not easy how do you do it what is your process your method what do you do with the kids in order to help them heal okay so the first thing is they have to feel protected okay and um and so once they realize they're in a safe loving environment there's opportunities there's good food you know

Starting point is 00:31:46 they're chowing down on the food and like okay now there's structure and most of the kids have never had structure right like the other day i went i thought this is kind of like a at the at the house of life at the mom and baby shelter one of the girls couldn't receive any gifts for two months and i thought it was a little because she had done something that she wasn't supposed disrespected a staff or something and i'm like you know that seems a little a little harsh and so i had a comment and like the next day the girls are like karen karen who's now 18 i can use her name okay she's the one in law school she's like dad we need to talk to you okay and so i go in i sit down with all the girls are like don't mess with our system of consequences and structure okay

Starting point is 00:32:35 and she's like you know this is what she did you know like and um we're we're not taking away her gifts and the the donations we receive donations and stuff a lot of times it's clothing use clothing which is a blessing right no we're just putting them aside for her she can't use them for two months and she said and the girls all told me this is the first time in our life where we've had structure right and there's and there's appreciated they appreciate the structure they appreciate premios like uh rewards okay and consequences it's like they so you teach them responsibility teach them responsibility okay exactly that's the first step that's the first step and then um we put them in school and uh through positive motivation and love do they

Starting point is 00:33:27 prayer and go to school like you put them in school but do they go yeah they go to school okay and so yeah the kids just step by step in the house of life it's it's really like those are the newest girls that have come in in the house of life and they're they're at the point of suicide when they come in we use the i can't remember the test right now but the people from harvard gave us some of the different tests we use for evaluating the girls, they're at like thinking of suicide on a daily basis. I'm pregnant. Nobody's helping me. I'm on the street. I'm hungry. And it's really, really sad. A month before we opened, I was told about a girl who was pregnant and she was going to be the first one in the house of life. And before we opened, just days before we opened,

Starting point is 00:34:16 she she took her life and the life of her unborn baby and so it's like it happens all the time yeah um they find babies in gutters they find babies in garbage cans and i mean just think about it you know you're 12 you're 14 the the guy that got you pregnant is gone or maybe you don't know who got you pregnant and you have no hope no your own family doesn't want you an interesting phenomena in El Salvador is a lot of the girls, some of the girls we have, maybe not a lot, are actually children whose mothers were raped by gang members, right? Remember the knock on the door I told, like, I want to take care of your daughter? So 12 years ago, when the gangs were at their peak over this time period, somebody's daughter gets pregnant. And then,

Starting point is 00:35:08 of course the in the money that comes in is extortion money everybody in the neighborhood pays for protection from the gangs and you know the gangs traffic some of the girls or whatever and so a girl grows up with a mother and father who are gang members and the whole neighborhood's afraid of them nobody will testify against them because they'll be dead right they can't even move out of your neighborhood without permission from the gangs you could never sell your home or anything so a lot of our girls their parents are in jail and so the community now that all of a sudden all the gang members are you know the the government passes a lot no no if if you're tattooed and it's obvious you're a gang member you're a gang member you're going to jail so you know it's

Starting point is 00:35:58 safe in the neighborhoods but nobody wants the children of the gang members because so what happens with them i know yeah there's no earth told me that that he had a similar problem with i mean not a problem but like around there were many kids that were left with neighbors and stuff because they were nowhere they had nowhere to go right exactly and their parents were in prison yeah so um you know i started during the war kids were abandoned during the war and they were kind of like a lost generation and now we have the children of gang members that are in the same situation that's why they need to come to us into homes like us so that they can have a chance to how many homes like you exist in there's not enough they're used there's only there's less

Starting point is 00:36:40 than half that there was um 10 years ago there's um right now there's um about around 900 kids imagine a country of six million people there's only 900 kids in protective custody most of the homes have closed what happened is out of harvard too there was a very famous study done by uh one of the psychiatrists at harvard he went to bucharest and did a study on children in orphanages like and in romania in that area of the world it's like the worst orphanages in the world right and so uh this the conclusion of the study was the children are more are more likely to be abused in an orphanage than they are in their own family. And so UNICEF and all the United Nations, the stuff that the United States supports through USAID and stuff like that,

Starting point is 00:37:35 they started paying and incentivizing the governments of third world countries in Africa to send the kids back to where they were born. And there was this romantic thing that you know children have the right to be in the mud and the dirt where they were born in their communities and stuff and to be you know raped by the same people that raped them from before and i've had people told them why would they do that because this whole perverted philosophy because of this bucharest study that was the major thing that um that started it the whole united nations shift was get kids out of orphanages because they're being raised they They were basing their conclusions on the worst orphanages in the world.

Starting point is 00:38:21 In the world, yes. That's exactly right. So they took that as the, how do you call it, the reference point. The reference point. And said, everyone is probably like that, like those set of orphanages around the world. So we need to do something. That's exactly right. That's insanity.

Starting point is 00:38:38 It's insanity, yes. In fact, in the future. I'm not surprised in my podcast that we are revealing another atrocity coming from the House of United Nations and all these NGOs. I mean, this is exactly what's happening in so many areas of life that the United Nations, which was supposed to be an organization born after the Second World War in order to make peace around the world, is just creating more and more damage. That's absolutely right. It's unbelievable. and so for you and so that um in fact you need to uh interview dr dr alexandra harrison from harvard she's doing our study with us she has all the information all the studies and everything that

Starting point is 00:39:24 happened because of this and is she critical about the very very critical oh very very critical yeah we're working together let's do that she's been down seven times training my staff about building babies brains and um trauma therapy for teenage girls and stuff we're working together she's a child a world-renowned child and adolescent psychiatrist yeah yeah so truckloads of children in africa were taken out of orphanages and dumped in the cities where they were taken from taken away from because of abuse and you know of course you know and it was into where yeah dumped into the street yeah in the streets with the same communities where they're from and of course the incentives came from unicef and the united nations like they

Starting point is 00:40:17 paid the money to do this yeah every child because you know people oh my god you know what moves what motivates people is money right so it's like okay someone came up with a great idea we need to get these more kids out of the orphanages when when this all happened um okay i'm not an expert out Dr. Harrison could tell you about 15 years ago that started happening. And it's still happening today? What has happened today is, yes, that same philosophy is around. So what happens in El Salvador, too, and I'm, you know, I don't, I don't, this government is doing so much better than everyone else. But now there's this big push that abused children have a right to live in the communities they were born.

Starting point is 00:41:01 So Maria, I make up a name, okay, is raped by an uncle. And it's determined that the house that she's in is not taking good care of her. But her aunt lives next door. And so the aunt, so someone from the government, from the protection services goes and says, you know, it's your obligation to take her. And, you know, Salvadorians always say, yes, okay, okay, I can. And so she goes next door to the aunt's house and ends up right back in the same house she was from anywhere. It's starting to stop. They're doing better. I love the Department of Child Welfare here. They've come a long ways. They're pretty good. Yeah. The head of the Department of Child

Starting point is 00:41:45 Welfare, Linda Moran, for the whole country. I mean, she's on my WhatsApp. We text back and forth. The second in command, we text back and forth. We work together. It's never happened before yeah it's beautiful and they've come so far and so it's getting better great but i mean we have a long ways to go i mean of course of course but change takes time right change takes time and it's happening if you've got the willingness and the people to work with and they're open and they're listening then that's great already yeah in the procuratoria that they're like the um they're like the prosecuting attorneys but they have like guns and stuff and um and so like when we get like a 12 year old like it's been like raped by her brother-in-law or

Starting point is 00:42:29 something or stepfather and they find out and they come in and they do an interview they're like all right i want this this this this and this and i'm like okay we'll get it for you and like an hour later they're like i said i needed that you know and i and i like the last one i told I said, if you don't get this guy, he's going to end up leaving the country, going to the United States and, you know, raping another 12-year-old. And like the next day, they send me a picture of the guy in handcuffs. It's like, we got him. Yeah, no, they're going after the bad boys here. Great.

Starting point is 00:43:05 Yeah, it's really good. It's really, it's satisfying. It's satisfying. I'm really encouraged to hear that. Yes. I think one of the biggest problems in today's world is that, is abusing children and trafficking and raping. And no one talks about it because it's the hardest thing of all to talk about. I mean, where I come from, we have war, right?

Starting point is 00:43:29 And that's hard to talk about as well. And so people don't want to know and they don't want to talk about it. And tens of thousands of children are dying, like, an hour away from my parents' house in Gaza. And, like, no one wants to think about that. And I totally understand that. I get it, too. It's the hardest, hardest thing in the world because what is a baby? What is a child?

Starting point is 00:43:55 It's God. It's the purest form of love, right? And if that's what we're doing, killing that, then we are killing ourselves. So no one wants to confront that. No one wants to talk about it. But I think this is one of the biggest problems of society today, that the darkness is so dark and it's so pervasive everywhere. And we are not courageous enough to face it and to look the truth in the eyes and call it out and then put these people away. Just like what's happening here.

Starting point is 00:44:25 And, you know, and we have people that like donate maybe 10 or 20 dollars a month to us or whatever. And I was like, do you ever want to come down here? And she's like, I just, I can't, I can hardly even think about it. And I'm sending, but they're helping. They're sending some money because yes. I mean, every month you can see these girls here with us. They're well-fed. There's a lot of food.

Starting point is 00:44:49 And they're all smiling. And they're all smiling. So there's a, there's a lot of food, food costs. These girls, these three go to private bilingual schools. because you know that's going to help them a lot in the future and those you know it's like 70 70 to 90 a month which is really cheap when you think about to go to a private bilingual school but i mean it's you can do a lot and they'll solve it or yeah i mean um and so uh yeah people hand help out five ten twenty dollars a month whatever one are we saving the kids yes are we saving ourselves

Starting point is 00:45:25 absolutely that's yeah a hundred percent a hundred percent so you both we're both being saved because we are going to stand before god one day and i mean you know jesus said it really clearly he said you know one day you're going to stand before god and he's going to say you know i was i was hungry and you didn't do anything i was without clothes you did nothing and you said well you know what what about this is whatever you didn't do for the least of these you didn't do for me and i'm sorry but you know i don't have a place for you and so like don't don't get to that point it doesn't take that much to help i mean i think right so okay and then my last question about the process that they go through is do you have professional healers

Starting point is 00:46:15 trainers coaches we have two psychologists on staff the people from um so uh dr harrison from Harvard is a specialist in trauma. We have several specialists from, there's a group of professionals in the United States. Like at one point when we were evaluating babies, I had like, I was using my WhatsApp, you know, video call. There was like eight, eight like of the top specialists in the United States and one from England on the phone helping us evaluate a baby. And sometimes they do that for therapy with babies. And it's like, oh my gosh, this is probably two thousand dollars an hour if i like if i had to pay these people but you know what they said what uh first off alex from harvard said there is not enough trained psychologists in

Starting point is 00:47:06 the world to help these girls trauma specialists to help these girls and she said and if there was you couldn't afford to pay them because you know hourly rates and stuff but she said the fact that you're you're giving them a protected environment the fact that they have formed a sisterhood at the house of life like one of our girls in law school the other girls breastfeed her baby while she's in class you know and so these are the kind of things that happen at the house of life and the fact that now they have hope for the future we didn't talk about this but the girls have a chance to have their own home one day too thanks to the bitcoiners but um we'll get to that Yeah. And so what she said is that, you know, therapy once a week, the girls go back to the

Starting point is 00:47:52 same unprotected environment. What you're doing by giving them a protected, loving environment where they feel safe and loved in a positive environment. We do Bible study. We like get into the word of God daily. They go to church on Sundays. There's people that come and do, you know, workshops with them and stuff. They said, this is the best. This is as good as the best trauma therapist is donating your time and you go once a week or once a month this year yeah interesting i didn't think about that okay so then let's talk about how people support you and especially what bitcoiners did right so um you know ryan so a year ago yeah in this bitcoin conference yeah uh this a friend named claudia is at a party you know after the conference is over

Starting point is 00:48:43 like the party we're having at club coca tomorrow right and um she meets this ryan this documentary filmmaker and she's like um he's like he's telling her like the world is so effed up um you wouldn't believe i've just been at 20 different holding facilities at the u.s border for traffic children you know they're jumping across the border and she said he said they're like beating kids it's the government, the U S government spending $700 a day on each child. Plus there's another 150 that's for some kind of food stipend or something. He says, 800, $850 a day. And so Clyde said, no, no, no. I know someone that is actually taking care of kids. And she said, you got to come to the house of life. And so he was like, I'm leaving tomorrow. She said, well, okay, before your plane

Starting point is 00:49:34 leaves come so ryan comes with all of his you know film equipment and he walks in and he's just and he sees the girls and he's like blown away he starts crying and he's like i i i'd given up on humanity and um he said can i make a can i make a little video of this and so he does he releases a documentary on on uh called amber alert on child trip yes and he puts us in at the end of it and it gets three million views this video and it was good because i was like running out of money was that was uh last year a year ago okay so the the film is relatively new so yeah it's been out yeah it's on twitter it's uh ryan moda media as amber alert yeah yeah and yeah yeah the movie is there yeah so um so all of a sudden all these bitcoiners like start hearing about us

Starting point is 00:50:28 Claudia keeps telling people, going to parties, telling the people and they start coming in El Salvador has been like since the, you know, the conquistadors came here and like raped and pilfered the Indians and started the third class, you know, half white, half Indian. and um they've been told no their whole lives and then you know they 14 families at one point earned owned most of the land in el salvador and everybody had this you know attitude like you know may i may i step in here may i come in here you know people are used to saying no to people it's like they shake their fingers like this you know and they are they're hump they're beautiful people, Salvadorans. They're humble, but they take nothing for granted. They're not victims. They work hard. But the Bitcoiners are like, but they're like, oh, no, I couldn't do that. You know, I'm not from a wealthy family or whatever. And the Bitcoiners are like,

Starting point is 00:51:29 everything is possible. You can do this. They're like an influx of positive energy from God sent to el salvador to make it a beautiful positive place and so they start coming here and they start working with our kids and they're like oh you know we're going to help you do this and this and the kids are like well what and you know and even my staff that's why i moved down here so the first 20 years and am i right also my friend and dj val is valerie he's also one of those bit corners yes very involved and very involved yes she told me she told me yeah yeah and so it's been such a blessing it's a gift from god to el salvador the holy savior of the world el salvador right it's like you know i'm going to tell the story so during the war sometimes i i'm got to

Starting point is 00:52:25 find these two guys like someone says let's get together for prayer which we did a lot during the war because it was very dangerous these two guys come down here and they're like and they said we're here in El Salvador and you barely saw anybody from United States coming down here in the middle of civil war. And like, we're here because God told us that El Salvador is going to lead the world out, you know, and, um, he's going to use El Salvador to be a leader in the world for, you know, healing the world. I'm like, you guys, you know, and we're prophets, you know, and it's like, you know, you'd be stoned in the old Testament if what you said didn't come true. and it's probably not going to come true right and so but i'm like okay um sure i mean it's like

Starting point is 00:53:10 all right this was during the war this is like 20 30 you couldn't imagine i could not have imagined ever what these guys were saying and now i want to find these guys i'm trying to remember who brought them to me that's happening i feel it's absolutely feel like it's happening i mean tired of feeling like your freedom and future are fading away?

They threw out, as an analogy for the United States, somebody came in, cleaned up a town, and he became so popular,

Starting point is 00:55:36 the Democrats and the Republicans tried to, like, you know, slander him and have him, you know, defamed. And he ended up doing the exact opposite, throwing out the Democrats and the Republicans and forming his own party. And moving forward, I mean, it's that radical because that's how El Salvador was. They had the, you know, the communists, the F-A-M-A-L-A-N-A on one side and the arrena of the government, the U.S. propped up on the other. And this guy just they have one seat left in the whole Congress here. And they controlled the whole thing. Right. And so that's what happened here.

Starting point is 00:56:14 It's a transformation. It's a transformation. and so yeah i think i'll solve it it's not a change it's a transformation it's a transformation bigger it's like what's happening with these girls they're being transformed and maybe that's why it's so hard for the world to believe or to accept it you have to come here change it's not a normal yeah you have to come here to see it because it's uh to understand it but it's i've uh you know like a trombone i've never seen anything like it i never really have yeah but this is real. I've never seen for him. I love, I love Trump. I love everybody, but it's like

Starting point is 00:56:52 everything he does, like the people are saying, I've never seen anything like it. This is the real, I've never seen anything like it right here. Yeah, it really is. So now the girl, so we have the house of life and the girls are like, okay, uh, we have babies and the fathers are dead or gone. They're in prison. They're like, whatever. And how are we ever going to care for ourselves and our babies it's like we're gonna have to hook up with whoever has a home you know so i'll be like meet a guy he's got three other families but he's got a home i can go with my baby one day i'll take it and so there was always this a little bit of like uncertainty about their future so back up to the the you know the video documentary that gets three million views

Starting point is 00:57:39 the Bitcoiners are starting to learn about us. Will Lear from Club Kokao is doing a development here with 21 mansions on this big property over by Bitcoin Beach. And he talks to his investment partner and says, how would you feel about doing a socially responsible project and giving a piece of our land to the house of life so they can build homes for the girls? And he's like, yes, let's do it. And, um, it's really cool. Cause I talked to his investor, uh, yesterday and he was telling me, you have no idea what this has done for us. He, first off, they're excited about being able to help the girls. Um, but he said, are even our tax burden, like when they found out what we were doing, our tax burden for like building the homes and permits has gone from a million dollars

Starting point is 00:58:34 down to $200,000. I mean, everybody's excited that they're helping these girls to have a place. So they've given us a piece of land. Other Bitcoiners, we had a party, a fundraising event at Club Cocal. They're like, okay, we're going to build the first home. And that's John and Roxy, the ones that are starting BitTasker and Solaris down here. So the girls are like, so we went to the property with the girls, walked it. And it's like, now we can have a home for our kids. And so what's exciting is that we're giving them the tools and the skills. So these 21 mansions up on the hill, the girls are learning how to be holistic chefs or learning how to clean. And so they're going to make a ton of money cooking for people if they want a chef and

Starting point is 00:59:20 an assistant chef. And then they're going to have their homes and half of what they make gets saved in Bitcoin. When they have enough money in Bitcoin to build a home for another teen, then they get the property and the home gets deeded to them wow yeah and i know the girls what a beautiful system yeah some of them are just gonna say no keep taking half of my money let's build another one let's build another one so it's like a lot of this stuff that's happening yeah is a multiplying factor absolutely i love it um okay any of the girls have ever gone into a relationship again like a good healthy relationship yeah one of my girls is um so i'm you know like i so they always they're really awesome like if they have if they're 18 no boyfriends before 18 well

Starting point is 01:00:12 you know obviously they're in high school so that i think some secret stuff has happened what is how come you're writing like one all over your skin and in your book system i mean i was a teenager too right so uh but you know there's no going out nothing else yeah so um when they turn 18 you know they can officially present the boys and i just you know i try to be as as loving as possible but i just let the boys know that you know the girls have grown up in a home that some people call it an orphanage it's not it's a family but some people might think that the girls don't have representation but i just want to be really right up front with you if something happens i've like like two months ago 14 years if something oh yeah yeah yeah you

Starting point is 01:00:59 know that's 30 years yeah so if you were to do some if you were to if you were ever to give them alcohol you can never touch them right and if they haven't been drinking if you touch them and they haven't given you permission then yeah i'm gonna get you and i have all these contacts in the and the police and so like i've scared quite a few men away but it's like but they do like some of them do have yes or and when they if they meet somebody good i'd be like you know it's so hard to find a good guy you need to marry that boy you know don't even yeah okay good good so so so it can happen oh absolutely we're open to it oh and so what that means is i have like 40 girls right now i've got like i need help man can you imagine paying for 40 weddings but fortunately they're not

Starting point is 01:01:49 that as expensive down here okay so that that is a good segue then how can people support you okay so um our website right mikasa kids.org as you know everything you can donate in bitcoin and all different all different ways but uh yeah you can come down you can bring a team down so rotary club your church you want to come down we have lots of projects people can do that's a blessing for us a lot of people that donate to us have actually been here seen it for themselves none of it's going to me i don't take a salary we do like you live then if you don't take a salary well i have my business for years and now i'm old enough that um i had a vending machine company in portland oregon for 25 years okay that's how we started this i i used to have a 401k i kind of

Starting point is 01:02:36 like sold that to help out what we're doing but god takes care of me i mean it's 35 years later we're growing but we still we're still able to pay the bills and i don't know how because it's like doubled in the amount of kids but god keeps providing because he keeps sending you know what he sent you to interview me and there's people i assume listening to what we're doing right here right yeah and so be sure of that yeah and so people just come they help and we do for 1 30th so those holding camps at the u.s border that's 800 a day it's uh less than 800 a month to care for two a mother and her baby so we're like 60 times more efficient because we're private um are 96 percent of what people donate goes to the kids so my only expenses are wire transfers

Starting point is 01:03:30 i haven't figured out yet how to do getting transfer money in bitcoin i'm working on it uh but the next the next time i talk to you we will have there are so many people around you here that can help i know yeah so figuring out how to do it because the money a lot of our most of our donations right now are fiat okay okay they come into my u.s bank account right and then i wire them down to the our bank account down here i just need someone to help me make that connection because i'm spending who's doing that two hundred dollars a month on uh wire transfer sure there are services we can do yeah i want to get that that's okay twenty four hundred dollars listening to this and you have that kind of service and transferring fiat to bitcoin seamlessly

Starting point is 01:04:13 please contact and then get it down here like that beautiful love to do it and then um you know our nine all of our tax forms in the united states we have to have a cpa that does our 990s it's a pay stand no i haven't okay yeah we'll we'll connect you with jeremy and perfect um and so just accounting fees in the united states people i have a lot of older donors i've been doing this for 35 years right people mail in checks our cpa in oregon deposit some they do our 990s and our ct12s we're our officially we're in the state of oregon and so that's where we're Okay, but we also have international audience listening to us. So in Europe, just use Bitcoin.

Starting point is 01:04:55 Just use Bitcoin. Just go on our site and just... How do you use Bitcoin if you don't know how to do it and donate? Yes. So other than donations of money, what else do you need? Maternity clothing, baby clothing, Salvadorans, if they could send us beans, rice, protein, fresh fruits and vegetables. We try to eat really healthy down here too for the kids.

Starting point is 01:05:18 and so yeah food donations clothing shampoos creams hair rinses stuff like that okay if you notice the girls all have long hair um they have a lot of hair they have a lot of hair yeah they do yeah blessed with hair this is wonderful they are yeah and so the all those things come down paint a mural um and just hang yeah we're really so i'm full with eight girls i need to expand the house of life. I can take eight more in the house of life. And then we've kind of reached our limit because if you get too big, you lose the sense of family. So I need to build, I need to expand a little bit.
