1. Pornography, both child and adult. Pornography is a big money making business around the world. This money is often made at the expense of young children, to feed the appetites of those with money to spend. The cult will often ask parent to "lend" their child for photography sessions, often starting at a very young age. (I have heard of three year olds being used). The child is taken to a private studio, usually based in someone's home. This is the first step in a long and heartbreaking life of being used for pornography, that will continue until the child grows into adulthood.
The child will often be drugged to make it more compliant. It will be praised for a job done well, given candy and praise and attention. (I had to sit in on a few sessions when I was a teenager in Virginia, to learn about this part of the group's activities). Trainers will help create "personalities" that will willingly work in this area of making money, and will then get these personalities addicted to drugs or alcohol to make them more compliant.
The people who create the photos/videos are usually low-ranking cult members, or they may not even be members. The parents who supply children are brokered through other members of the group. But the money is funneled upwards, through four layers (or "buffers" as they are called) to the real financiers of these enterprises. The men/women creating the pornography receive a "cut" of the money, ie paid for what they do. But some of the money is sent to intermediaries, who launder the money through charitable front organizations before it reaches the hands of the upper levels of the cult. They, much like the Mafia, always receive their share of the money, and invest it in banking enterprises. They will also help provide good lawyers and protection (again, through several layers of intermediaries) to protect their "investment".
2.Prostitution. Again, like pornography, this is a huge money-making enterprise. Children and adults are both used, in much the same manner. Cult trainers also work with these individuals to create "personalities" that will come out on cue and perform their duties. This can range from ordinary prostitution to being high level "consorts" to political figures. They are also often taught to set up a political figure, with hidden photos, if the cult wants someone they can blackmail or try to control. They are also occasionally sent to pastors of churches, to break up the church, or to extract information needed from a client. The money is laundered through the same methods discussed above, and the true financiers will invest it either here or abroad. (Belgium, Cairo, Egypt, and Liberia are favorite investment countries). Several large well-known financial institutions involved in national and international banking have been involved in these ways.
