USA vs. One Taste
Two women are prisoners of #MeToo overreaction, the same witch-hunt that almost took down Justice Kavanaugh. New York prosecutors, in a race to get a case for headlines, worked with far-left Netflix and a dirty FBI agent to stretch a statute on human trafficking into a theory of “psychological coercion” with the help of an anti-Trump “brainwashing” expert.
There are no victims, there was no violence, there were only politics.
A dirty FBI agent collaborated with Democrat-run Netflix in putting out a “True Crime” hit-piece, casting them as enemies of women and exploitive human traffickers. All for running a successful sexual wellness business based on voluntary association.
In the course of this investigation, which took longer than any career expert can justify for any reason other than vindictiveness, the defense discovered that an FBI agent worked with a “witness” who created fake “personal journals.” These journals were featured in the Netflix documentary. DOJ indicted four months later using that fraudulent evidence.
Congressman Troy Nehls wrote a letter to the FBI demanding answers. EDNY prosecutors admitted the evidence was fake 6 weeks prior to trial but dropped their star witness and this evidence and proceeded anyway.
These women were charged with one count of “forced labor conspiracy,” and the allegations were for “brainwashing” women to continue to participate in their wellness classes.
The legal theory used is a stretch of a statute intended primarily to deal with human trafficking, a statute that should be focused today on the millions of illegal aliens trafficked across the border by the Biden Administration. But career activists and a group of NGOs have dedicated their focus elsewhere. Some of these NGOs have been paid millions by DOJ and are even now suing President Trump for cutting off their funding.
They even implied that President Trump himself was like a human trafficker, writing in their brief: “Such censorship of the survivor experience mimics the dynamics of power and control of a trafficker, which Freedom Network USA fundamentally opposes.”
This is a statute that will be used to go after President Trump and religious groups. If a wellness class is brainwashing, so will be politics and religion. This is weaponization of government and conservatives recognize that this type of legal theory will come for them next.
“The stakes are far greater than one case. Today the defendants were leaders of OneTaste, an organization few Americans have heard of. Tomorrow, the targets could be evangelical ministries, Catholic dioceses, Hasidic Jewish communities, or Muslim institutions. Once prosecutors are allowed to criminalize belief, no faith tradition is secure.”
— Alan Dershowitz
This case “turns traditional western law on its head. It eliminates the historical concept that individuals are responsible for their own actions and embraces victimization ideology that allows the government to pick its victims and then go after citizens it does not like using the criminal law.”
— John Lauro, Former Attorney of President Trump
“Defense lawyers had argued that diaries by a former adherent of the OneTaste group were tainted by the way they were prepared for a Netflix documentary.”
“Prosecutors say OneTaste extracted labor from its members. Former employees testified that they worked for the company because they feared spiritual harm.”
“The FBI shouldn't be working with Netflix or any media at all for that matter. They have a long history of doing so going back to Hoover and the G-Men, but in 2025 the government is proceeding on a case involving the FBI working with Netflix to fabricate evidence? C'mon.”
— Mike Howell, President of The Oversight Project (formerly The Heritage Foundation)
“I don’t understand how you can have forced labor, or in this case, not even forced labor, but conspiracy to commit forced labor… if there’s no coercion, if people were free to leave, if people willfully decided to take part in this program. The government produces, based on everything I’ve read, no actual evidence of coercion or conscription or that anybody was locked up or detained or beaten or bruised. I mean, this whole case seems to me to be a fabrication.”
