And ‘humanitarian’ (human trafficking) orgs will go in and gather up the orphans for redistribution.
Like in the US with the US Civil War as the excuse, they rounded children up in the cities to put them on‘orphan trains’ for redistribution.
The orphan trains ran from 1854 to the Great Depression. And they were misnamed. The children were just living in poverty, often from non English speaking immigrant families, and could have one or both parents alive, 250,000 children were trafficked west this way by train, and an unknown number shipped through the post office.
The ‘cowboys’ you think you know as grizzled frontier Sam Elliot veterans were literal boys, driving great quantities of beef to the depots to ship to Chicago to enrich robber barons, traveling a thousand miles on horseback while fighting off rustlers and natives. How glamorous was the cowboy made by the media, though. ‘Go west, young man,” sang the newspapers. Go west-so you could fight the natives and break the ground and protect the speculation schemes of the rich so that the opportunists had a clear path to move in and profit.
And thousands of cow BOYS rounded up and delivered millions of cattle to the train depots to ship to the Chicago stockyards. And the beef went to the cities where the Wall Street ton were the only people who could afford to eat it.
Yes, some went to work on family farms and were sort of adopted, the major narrative to promote their ‘rescue’ from the streets. But most were just meat shields for the robber barons.
While the girls most often became romanticized brothel and saloon residents who were so much fun to watch in movies.
All wars are banker wars, and all wars move or dispose of humans.
