FBI Diverts Resources from Child Pornography Investigation to Jan. 6, Resulting in Alleged Child Molestation: A Disturbing Unraveling of Priorities Revealed

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a shocking revelation reported by The Daily Wire, the FBI’s decision to shift resources from a critical child pornography investigation in Virginia to focus on the aftermath of the January 6 events at the U.S. Capitol has led to disturbing consequences. The suspect, Brogan Welsh, who was initially under investigation for engaging in explicit conversations about sexual acts with a 9-year-old boy, was inexplicably spared further scrutiny due to the FBI’s redirection of efforts.

Despite the existence of incriminating evidence, including a video depicting the abuse of a prepubescent minor, the FBI’s Washington Field Office halted the investigation on January 6, 2021. This decision, as revealed by court documents, ultimately allowed Welsh to relocate to Alaska, where he is now accused of engaging in sex acts with a 10-year-old boy. The report underscores the severe consequences of diverting attention away from cases of child exploitation in favor of high-profile events.

The FBI’s acknowledgment that resources were diverted in the aftermath of January 6 raises critical questions about the prioritization of investigations. While the agency asserts its commitment to pursuing crimes against children, the case of Brogan Welsh highlights the potential dangers of sidelining ongoing investigations with substantial evidence. The admission that a case was dropped is a rare occurrence, shedding light on the trade-offs made during a tumultuous period in the nation’s history.

Moreover, this disturbing revelation prompts a broader examination of the impact on criminal prosecutions in Washington, D.C. The focus on prosecuting individuals involved in the Capitol breach has coincided with a concerning trend in the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia choosing not to prosecute a growing percentage of cases brought forward by local law enforcement. This shift in priorities, as indicated by Department of Justice data, has resulted in a significant increase in individuals going free without facing charges.

As the report delves into the statistics, a disconcerting pattern emerges: the decline in prosecution rates aligns with a surge in violent crime in Washington, D.C. The rise in homicides and carjackings, coupled with an increase in overall violent crime, paints a grim picture of deteriorating safety in the nation’s capital. The narrative suggests a potential correlation between the allocation of prosecutorial resources and the worsening crime situation, urging a critical examination of law enforcement priorities to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.

Alaska Airline Pilot Hit With Attempted Murder Says He Took Mushrooms Before Flight

/0 Comments/in , /by

The off-duty pilot accused of attempted murder for trying to cut off engines for an Alaska Airlines flight told investigators he took “magic mushrooms” and thought pulling the handles to cut off the flight’s fuel would cause him to “wake up” from a dream.

State court records obtained by CNN show that Joseph Emerson, 44, told law enforcement that he “had consumed ‘magic mushrooms’ approximately 48 hours prior to the incident on the plane.” He also said he had been awake for the last 40 hours, according to a federal court document.

One of the pilots “grabbed Emerson’s wrists and (the other pilot) reported that they wrestled with Emerson for a few seconds before Emerson stopped and said he was okay,” the documents read, adding that, “Emerson was not able to pull the handles all the way down before the pilots intervened.”

Emerson had experienced depression and the recent death of a friend, according to the documents. He told investigators he was having a nervous breakdown and told the flight crew he needed to be subdued, according to a separate federal criminal complaint.

/2 Comments/in , , /by

An off-duty pilot allegedly tried to shut off the engines on an Alaska Airlines plane while it was on its way to San Francisco, police said.

The plane on Flight 2059 was travelling from Everett, Washington, but had to be diverted to Portland, Oregon, after the incident.

Horizon Air, a subsidiary of Alaska Airlines, said the presence of a “credible threat” in the jump seat of the cockpit’s flight deck.

“The jump seat occupant unsuccessfully attempted to disrupt the operation of the engines,” read a statement from the airline. “The Horizon Captain and First Officer quickly responded, engine power was not lost and the crew secured the aircraft without incident.” (Read more from “Alaska Airlines Murder Attempt: Pilot Charged With 83 Counts After Allegedly Attempting to Crash Plane” HERE)

STD’s Exploding Across U.S., ESP. Alaska; Here’s Where the Rates Are the Highest

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. The US is in the midst of an “out of control” STD epidemic, with cases of syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia on the rise nationwide.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says gonorrhea cases spiked by 28% across the country in 2021, while total syphilis cases soared by a staggering 74%.

However, not all American areas are experiencing the same rates of infection, with a new data breakdown by US News & World Report revealing the 10 states with the highest sexually transmitted disease rates. . .

Seven of the 10 states with the highest rates were located below the Mason-Dixon line, including North Carolina, which clocked in 10th, with a total STD rate of 922.2 per 100,000 residents. . .

Alaska was in the third spot, largely due to sky-high rates of chlamydia cases, with the data showing 760.4 per 100,000 residents received positive results after testing for the infection in 2021.

STD Rates Skyrocketing Among Certain Minorities

By US News. Rates and cases of major sexually transmitted diseases in the U.S. have been increasing largely unabated, with more than 2.5 million cases of chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea reported in 2021, the most recent year for which data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is available.

That amounts to a combined rate of 762.7 cases per 100,000 people in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, an increase of 6% over 2020’s rate of 721.6 per 100,000, according to a U.S. News analysis of the data. Between 2020 and 2021, the rate of total syphilis cases in the U.S. – including all stages of the infection, congenital syphilis and syphilitic stillbirth – rose by 32%, CDC figures show. The rate of chlamydia cases increased 4%, while the rate of gonorrhea infections rose 5% over the same period.

Officials have expressed particular concern about a rise in congenital syphilis, which occurs when a mother passes a syphilis infection to her baby while pregnant and can result in the infant’s death. The rate of congenital syphilis cases rose by nearly 30% between 2020 and 2021, while the nearly 3,000 cases of the disease in 2021 marked a more than 750% increase since 2012.

By race and ethnicity, CDC data shows the rate of chlamydia infections in 2021 was highest among Black individuals at 1,081.9 cases per 100,000, while Asians had the lowest rate at 95.7 per 100,000. Black individuals also had the highest rate of reported gonorrhea cases in 2021 at 652.9 infections per 100,000 people, while Asians had the lowest rate at 37.8 per 100,000. American Indian and Alaska Native people had the highest rate of primary and secondary syphilis cases in 2021, at 46.7 per 100,000. The rate of congenital syphilis also was highest in connection with American Indian and Alaska Native mothers in 2021, at 384.5 cases per 100,000 live births.

Fabricator-In-Chief: Falsely Claims He Was at Ground Zero the Day After 9/11 During Alaska Visit

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden falsely claimed he visited Ground Zero in New York City the day after the World Trade Centers were hit and collapsed, marking the 22nd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorist attacks on the United States.

During remarks at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, Biden gave a speech to American troops in which he claimed to have been at Ground Zero in New York City on September 12, 2001.

“Ground Zero, New York. I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building,” Biden said. “I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell; it looked so devastated because of…where you could stand.”

In reality, though, Biden was in the U.S. Senate alongside his colleagues on September 12, 2001, and gave a ten-minute floor speech regarding the terrorist attacks. Biden’s first known visit to Ground Zero was on September 20, 2001, when he joined a delegation of senators on a tour of the attack’s aftermath.

“Some have said, yesterday and today, that all has changed for America,” Biden said during his floor speech in 2001. “I know what they mean by that … but I pray that is not true … the one thing we cannot allow to change are the values upon which this country is built, for if that were to occur, then they would be able to declare victory.” (Read more from “Fabricator-In-Chief: Falsely Claims He Was at Ground Zero the Day After 9/11 During Alaska Visit” HERE)

Mysterious Golden Specimen Discovered 2 Miles Underwater

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A team of deep sea explorers visiting an extinct volcano found something resembling a golden egg 250 miles off the coast of southern Alaska.

The discovery was made Wednesday, Aug. 30, as a NOAA Ocean Exploration team recorded video in “the deep abyssal depths of the Gulf of Alaska.”

There, at a depth of about 2 miles, sat a shiny golden orb — with a perplexing hole in it.

“Something tried to get in … or to get out,” one researcher observed in a live feed.

In the debate that followed, the team made funny references to everything from the X-Files to classic monster movies. It was ultimately decided a sample of the orb was needed to examine its DNA. (Read more from “Mysterious Golden Specimen Discovered 2 Miles Underwater” HERE)

Chinese Nationals Posing as Tourists Breached US Military Bases and Other Sites, Raising Espionage Concerns: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chinese nationals, sometimes posing as tourists, accessed United States military bases and other sensitive locations up to 100 times in recent years, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The outlet reported that the incidents have raised espionage concerns among U.S. officials. These trespassers, referred to as gate-crashers, have accessed sensitive sites, either accidentally or intentionally, without proper authorization. . .

Some of these incidents included Chinese nationals breaching a missile range in New Mexico and scuba divers exploring a new rocket launch site in Florida. Other trespassing cases involved people following Google Maps directions to the nearest fast-food restaurant, which happened to be on a military base.

Officials also told the WSJ about a group of Chinese nationals who claimed to be tourists and insisted they had reservations at a hotel located on the Fort Wainwright military base in Alaska. The group attempted to push past security guards to access the site. . .

Chinese nationals have also accessed sensitive areas of the White House, taking photographs of the property, positions of Secret Services, and communications gear.

Alaska Governor Endorses Trump for President

/1 Comment/in , /by

Republican Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 nomination, becoming the third GOP governor to back him.

News of Dunleavy’s endorsement came from Politico, and it will give the former president crucial support in a state that will “hold its nominating contest on the all-important ‘Super Tuesday’ primary date”:

The endorsement comes as Trump expands his broad lead in support from Republican governors and federal lawmakers over his rivals in the GOP presidential primary. With Dunleavy’s backing, Trump has earned the support of three of the five Republican governors who have endorsed in the race. Trump has also received the support of over 80 members of Congress, more than 16 times the amount of his nearest rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The former president has been aggressively courting the support of prospective endorsees; he recently spoke by phone with Dunleavy, whose state is expected to hold its primary on March 5, 2024, the same day that over a dozen states are expected to hold their nominating contests.

The former president previously endorsed Dunleavy three times in his bid for governor, including in 2022 when he faced a recall attempt. The Trump campaign will reportedly release a video on Tuesday thanking the governor for the endorsement. (Read more from “Alaska Governor Endorses Trump for President” HERE)

Missing Tennessee Couple Found After 8 Days in Alaskan Wilderness — Just 2 Miles From Car

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Tennessee couple who vanished more than a week ago while hiking in Alaska were found safe Friday — just two miles from their parked car, family said.

Couple Jonas Bare, 50, and Cynthia Hovsepian, 37, were spotted by a hiker as they wandered through the woods in Fairbanks, a city with a population of more than 30,000.

The pair had survived eight days in the wilderness after losing their way on what was supposed to be a brief hike on an established trail, Bare’s uncle, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Post.

The family member said he believes Bare and Hovsepian became dazed and confused by the 20 hours of sunlight per day in the state this time of year, paired with temperatures that can drop to 45 degrees during the four hours of twilight.

“They were lost, I’m sure, and disoriented or else they would have been out of there,” he said. (Read more from “Missing Tennessee Couple Found After 8 Days in Alaskan Wilderness — Just 2 Miles From Car” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Authorities in Alaska are searching for a Tennessee man and woman who failed to check out of their Airbnb in Fairbanks, leading state troopers to find their car abandoned near a hiking trail.

The Fairbanks Police Department said in a Facebook post that Jonas Bare, 50, and Cynthia Hovsepian, 37, checked in to an Airbnb in the downtown area of the city Aug. 9, and were scheduled to check out Aug. 11 at 11 a.m., but failed to do so.

Officials say their luggage and personal belongings were still at the Airbnb, but Bare and Hovsepian were nowhere to be found. Additionally, Bare rented a dark, metallic-blue Jeep Compass Limited through Turo, which was supposed to be returned Aug. 11, but wasn’t.

The Alaska Department of Public Safety said the Jeep Compass was found at Chena Hot Springs Resort on the evening of Aug. 12, which is just over an hour’s drive from Fairbanks.

A missing person bulletin from the Alaska State Troopers says that the pair was last seen on a hiking trail near the resort Aug. 10, and adds that Hovsepian is visually impaired and sometimes uses a cane. Police said a missing persons report was filed Aug. 12. (Read more from “Man, Woman Go Missing on Vacation in Fairbanks as Police Find Abandoned Car Near Hiking Trail” HERE)
