Stanley W. Finch Quotes


It is a fact that there are now scattered throughout practically every section of the United States a vast number of men and women whose sole occupation consists in enticing, tricking, or coercing young women and girls into immoral lives and then either living directly off of their illicit earnings or transferring them for a consideration to others for a similar purpose.

The foreign, mostly communist country, officials when they were visiting the United States would be secretly photographed with Claudia and other young “agents” who would be “procured” by CIA agents who were secretly developing a relationship with the officials. Many adult women were also used. The CIA would then blackmail the officials and get them to spy for us. The documentation on Ms. Mullins statement is not from any government or official sources. So we cannot be certain that it is authentic. However, the documents on all the CIA activities of the period have not been declassified yet, and the CIA will not deny that they trained and used young children as sexual bait. So we have decided to include the quotation with this caution.


During WWII, the Japanese militarists maintained what they euphemistically described as “brothels” of “comfort women.” They Japanese forced 200,000 Korean Women to become sex slaves for the Japanese Troops in addition to Dutch and other white civilians interned by the Japanese in Asia. For years after the war, the Japanese Governments denied this or maintained a discrete silence. Finally some of the Korean women demanded an apology and restitution and it became a world-wide scandal. Unlike Germany which went through a public nationwide assessment of their WWII atrocities, Japan’s apologies for their war crimes have always been very muted and discrete and Japanese students are not even taught about the Japanese atrocities. Worse, nationalist Japanese politicians have either denied the facts about the sex slavery or as in this quotation, attempted to justify the horrid behavior. See {632770} for an American approach to the same problem.
