From Mexico to North Korea some left-wingers ignore sex trafficking on one hand and lie about it on the other...

PUBLIUS SPECIAL GUEST: J. Mark Ramseyer & Jason M. Morgan, authors of The Comfort Women Hoax: A Fake Memoir, North Korean Spies, and Hit Squads in the Academic Swamp.
Without our research, we would not have known of the role North Korea played in pushing the sex slavery controversy. In time, academic freedom may lead to the thwarting of Pyongyang’s designs.
Academic freedom is not just an academic question. When scholars find their freedom to pursue lines of inquiry and to discuss research in public trammeled — often, sadly, by their own colleagues — the damage can extend far beyond the ivory tower.
Over the past decade, both of us have been the targets of “cancellation” by the academy for dissenting from a seemingly esoteric footnote to World War II. We argue, based on documentary evidence, legal structures, and economic logic, that most of the women who worked at Japanese military brothels were, in fact, prostitutes.
Journalists and professors in North America instead insist that the women were dragooned sex slaves. When Jason Morgan spoke out about the issue, his adviser made certain that he would not find a job. When Mark Ramseyer published an eight-page paper in an out-of-the-way scholarly journal on the topic, he found himself hit with a multi-year attack, which included death threats and stalking by a South Korean news crew.
