people traffickers

Undercover travel agents working in the shadow economy, offering transport to people who wish or need to travel internationally, including refugees fleeing persecution; and/or people from whatever background who help migrants to evade racist restrictions on freedom of movement between countries, including those who help refugees escape from persecution.

This is a recently INVENTED word which has appeared in the mass media, perhaps from the Millbank spin machine, in an attempt to justify attacks on the right of refugees to flee oppression, torture and death. It did not exist until about a year ago. It is used as an excuse for persecuting refugees and those who transport them, by likening the latter to drug and arms "traffickers" (although genealogically, to "traffick" simply means to move something from one place to another - in which case all commercial pilots, bus and train drivers and people who take passengers in their cars are strictly speaking "people traffickers" - it is linked to the word "traffic", used to refer to lots of cars etc. in one place; this use, however, is archaic, and to traffick now means to smuggle illegal goods).

It basically means that the people who use the word think that people - especially black people - are THINGS which can be OWNED and therefore TRAFFICKED like drugs and arms; worse still, that people are ILLEGAL goods to be trafficked and owned. Its use is evidence of the barely concealed racism of the government and the corporate media as well as all the sheep who buy into the filth they spout.

It has become popular partly because of a lot of publicity surrounding sections of migrancy which are run by organised criminals and involve the establishment of sex slavery and forced labour. However, the laws brought in against "people traffickers" are typically aimed at ANYONE who transports migrants, including refugees, and so could even apply to heroic people such as human rights activists who help people flee oppression.

New laws against people trafficking increase penalties for concealing migrants inside one's vehicle.

Narog

River in western Beleriand, which runs close to Nargothrond. It provided a natural defence for this city against the forces of Morgoth, which mostly fear water. That is, until Turin foolishly advised the elves to build a bridge, which provided a handy access route for Glaurung...

It's featured in Tolkien's book The Silmarillion - see the map at the back for exact details of where it goes.

Draugluin

The sire of the great wolves or "werewolves" of Morgoth, in Tolkien's book, The Silmarillion. Draugluin was sent to Tol Sirion with Sauron to protect the frontier, but was slain by Huan the wolfhound when Luthien attempted to free Beren from the fortress.

Draugluin was apparently blue-tinged in appearance.

Noodnic

A small mouse-like humanoid which lives in tunnels coming off the main transit tunnels into Hammerdal (in the Lone Wolf series, or more specifically, in book 2). Noodnics are scavengers which survive by stealing small items and gathering anything which is discarded. They are hoarders, and are somewhat afraid of outsiders.

They appear to be sentient, although the effectiveness of Lone Wolf's animal kinship discipline in communicating with them suggests that they are as much animal as humanoid.

The Noodnics might help Lone Wolf defeat the Helghast near Hammerdal, if he is able to obtain their support.

kraan

A large red winged pterodactyl-like monster in the world of Magnamund (Joe Dever, Lone Wolf) - rarely ridden, but often used as shock troops to pick off enemies in battles, and occasionally to carry other monsters. Watch out - they swoop from above, keep away from hills in Lone Wolf 1

You can see a kraan circling the hill. Do you want to:

1) climb the hill and get killed, or
2) go under the hill and get killed by a burrowcrawler instead?
