42. West African Chocolate Slavery and the World Cocoa Organization

The Skepsis Telegraph

Welcome to the latest episode of The Illuminati Telegraph where we look into all things we do not know regarding things we do know.

This week what we do know is the chocolate industry is large. What we did not know was the extent to which the chocolate industry will go to run the market at an affordable price for consumers while implementing child slave labour. These kids are swindled and trafficked across the boarder, forced to work without pay for up to two years and have little clue where they even are.

Despite official court legislations taking place since 2001 to stop the child slave labour practice, these large companies such as Hershey and Nestle have yet to meet any of these deadlines and are still making public statements claiming they are committed to eradicating the issue altogether.

Up to twenty five years with no end in sight, we dive deep into the inner workings of this evil existing here with us on this planet echoing cries for help with every sip of a mocha and bite of a chocolate bar.

Also wet talk about where all the merchandise for the losing teams go and a quick bit on how psycho Hillary Clinton is. On this episode we expose hidden truths underneath that which we are all too comfortable with already. We also debut a new segment called "Dillon Unnecessarily Destroys People on Twitter".
