Patriot to the Core Podcast (Thad Forester) · September 2023
Fighting a War on Human Trafficking
Nic McKinley sits down with Thad Forester to explain why human trafficking is a war - not a social problem - and why it requires a war-fighting methodology to win. The conversation covers the operational history behind DeliverFund and the intelligence model that underpins it.
Key Takeaways
- Human trafficking is a criminal enterprise to be dismantled, not a social crisis to be managed - that distinction drives every operational decision at DeliverFund.
- The intelligence architecture used to locate high-value targets in denied-access environments applies directly to identifying trafficking networks.
- The nonprofit model allows DeliverFund to work directly with law enforcement in ways a government agency cannot.
- The single question Nic McKinley uses to decide whether DeliverFund pursues a new operational direction.
