Hi Voaters:

This is a Depeche Mode video apparently about child trafficking, and very explicitly about it.

In this video a child is shown being kidnapped by a man on a motorcycle. The lyrics are quite clearly about child trafficking given the context of the video. It is odd research but may be significant as many of Depeche Mode's videos have themes of "master/servant" and other similar themes. I post it mainly for interest as it managed to make me rewind the video a few times and I don't usually do that.

Edit for clarification and emphasis.

Actually watching this video and considering the lyrics is quite shocking.

I've got to get to you first Before they do It's just a question of time Before they lay their hands on you And make you just like the rest I've got to get to you first It's just a question of time Well now you're only fifteen And you look good I'll take you under my wing Somebody should They've persuasive ways And you'll believe what they say It's just a question of time It's running out for you It won't be long until you'll do Exactly what they want you to I can see them now Hanging around To mess you up To strip you down And have their fun With my little one It's just a question of time It's running out for you It won't be long until you'll do Exactly what they want you to Sometimes I don't blame them For wanting you You look good And they need something to do Until I look at you And then I condemn them I know my kind What goes on in our minds It's just a question of time It should be better It's just a question of time It should be better with you It's just a question of time

Seems pretty peripheral to pizzagate. But sure, typical DM commentary on sexuality, identity, conformity, not too innocent...

Try listening to soft cell, check out "sex dwarf"

dwarf or a child?

It is peripheral. Just thought it was interesting and to me relevant from the perspective of psychological factors behind the trafficking. I interpret the video to be showing a baby being delivered to a household of men. Then there is a moral dilemma about the fate of the child.

they are probably in on it on a shallow capacity, not high enough to get the pizza, but high enough to know there is something going on that should be hidden and getting fame in exchange, like most big name artist and actors I believe

I think it's possible Martin Gore could be a former victim of or could be commenting on traffinking/pedophilia. Or not, could be one himself.
