Laken Riley, Open Borders, and the Epstein List

The enigma of phantom updates


One reason why my books on hidden history have proven popular is because I discuss forgotten incidents and people. Mining those memory holes produces some significant gems. What’s frustrating is the inability to find updates on important stories. It’s as if the stories themselves have been slain, left forever frozen in time.

In a December 8, 1954 television interview with Longines Chronoscope, which is still available on YouTube, Admiral Richard Byrd spoke of “an area as big as the United States, that’s never been seen by human beings. And that’s beyond the pole, on the other side of the South Pole….And I think it’s quite astonishing that there should be an area as big as that unexplored.” Those questioning him on this early panel show, set the template for our modern “journalists,” by quickly changing the subject. None of these representatives of a supposed “free press” found that statement- which contradicts what we are told regarding the geography of the area- interesting enough for any follow up questions?

Admiral Byrd is acknowledged as one of the greatest- if not THE greatest explorer of all time. He couldn’t be painted as a “kook,” and cannot be converted into a “conspiracy theorist” by our beloved “fact checkers.” Byrd was never asked to elaborate on his bombshell comments, before his death on March 11, 1957. The Antarctica Treaty was signed on December 1, 1959, paving the way for future speculation about flat earth, hollow earth, and secret alien bases, among other things. I spoke to Byrd’s grandson in 2017, and he claimed never to have heard about these remarks. He told me that he would talk to his brother about it, and get back to me. I never heard from him again. Byrd’s son Richard Evelyn Byrd III died very curiously, being found in a warehouse. Wearing one shoe. Supposed Alzheimer’s, which his children denied.

We don’t have to go that far back to find top headlines which disappear quickly, and for which there is never any updated information. I run into this all the time, even in researching my less controversial books, like BULLYOCRACY. And that’s with having two of the very best researchers in all the land, Chris Graves and Peter Secosh, helping me. A family files a lawsuit. You can’t find the results of the lawsuit. Suspicious deaths of unknown causes, “to be determined.” Only you can’t find any report that the cause WAS ever determined. We see these nearly every day now, with celebrities dropping like flies from causes which are never disclosed. We presume that the warp speed vaccine is the culprit, of course, but doctors remain baffled.

I’m writing about Trump and Biden now, in a book that is essentially Hidden History 4, but will not be called that because my primary publisher doesn’t like series. I think. At any rate, Trump is an especially difficult subject, because of all the things he said he was going to do, or might do, and was reported to have been on the verge of doing. It’s hard to find updates indicating just what he actually did. We are told that some clever “insurrectionist” stole dear Lady Pelosi’s laptop on January 6. One of the suspects allegedly killed himself. But there are no updated stories as to whether the laptop was ever found. Maybe it’s languishing in Admiral Byrd’s land beyond the South Pole, along with his son’s missing shoe, the German Mauser found on the sixth floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository, OKC’s John Doe #2 and the REAL Epstein list.

Speaking of that Epstein list, where is it? It wasn’t that long ago that some judge ordered it released. This created front page coverage, and precipitated a feud between lame court jester Jimmy Kimmel and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Lists appeared online, but those whose names were on them either ignored it, or claimed the lists were fake. So where IS the official list? The one even our sainted professional “journalists” recognize? Where is the judge who ordered their release? He should be a bit perturbed over the inexplicable delay. Ghislaine Maxwell was also said to finally be ready to name names. So when will that happen? Why are these things so widely reported, only to then vanish like Judge Crater and Ambrose Bierce?

Then there was the intriguing tale of the subterranean rabbis. Who emerged from secret tunnels connected to a New York synagogue, and angrily lashed out at police. Who, contrary to their training in Israel, calmly took it in stride without retaliating. Not a single rabbi was shot in the back. Needless to say, this is not characteristic police behavior. We were told that high chairs and stained mattresses, with the stains perhaps being blood, were found in these tunnels. That sounds like something that should have aroused the suspicions of SOMEONE, but the kindly authorities quickly sealed up the tunnels. No analysis of the stains. No explanation for why a synagogue would have high chairs underground. Visions of blood rituals danced in the heads of anti-Semites everywhere, but again the story just vanished.

And what about Greg Abbott and the crisis at the border? He was sounding like Jefferson Davis not much more than a month ago. We were told twenty five states or something had signed on to his vow to resist federal interference. So what happened? Did Texas, and maybe those other twenty five states secede from the union? Maybe I missed it, what with the fixed Super Bowl, the already forgotten shooting at the victory parade, and Donald Trump’s continuous losses in his politicized show trials. Can I join some kind of digitalized Confederacy, so I can stay where I’m at? So the Feds never showed up to tear down Abbott’s laughable barbed wire? Was the barbed wire even put up? Inquiring minds want to know.

Which leads us to Laken Riley. The twenty two year old college student who was murdered by an illegal immigrant recently. There were actual, well attended protests about this, that were ignored by the mainstream media, of course. At Joe Biden’s rip roaring State of the Union address this week, feisty Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green passed out buttons which read, “Laken Riley- Say her Name!” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas refused to take a button, and further refused to say her name. Mayorkas was reportedly impeached by the House, in a story that I predict will disappear as quickly as a working class paycheck. Biden did say Riley’s name at MTG’s insistence, but butchered it as “Lincoln Riley.” Maybe on purpose. Maybe because of the dementia. More seriously, he called the murderer an “illegal.”

When I was young, I would sometimes cut out little stories from the newspaper. Ones that I could sense, even then, were being “planted” for some nefarious reason. Sudden breakthroughs in the fight against cancer. Miracle advances that “scientists say” could dramatically increase the human life span. And, of course, no more would be heard about this, until another “planted” story touched on the same theme. Meanwhile, childhood cancer rates are skyrocketing, and the life expectancy for Americans continues to fall. I guess there was no miracle. “The scientists” were somehow wrong. While this isn’t exactly identical to what I’ve been writing about here, the pattern is the same. Something is reported that arouses the interest and emotions of the public. There is no resolution, and no further updates are produced.

More often that those disappearing stories of cancer cures and the like, we hear ominous pronouncements about the latest asteroid that will come dangerously close to Earth on a particular date. This happens at least a few times every year. Fortunately, the asteroids never hit us, although this is never actually acknowledged. We obviously know the asteroid didn’t hit, because there were no tidal waves or other signs of disaster. But they never tell you how close it came. If I was even more outlandish than I am, I’d suggest that they just make it all up. There is a subsect of the conspiracy world, where people are so tired of their existence that they walk around with “doom boners,” in the hope that an Old Testament-like plague will befall us. These people were disappointed that COVID was a psyop.

And what’s more fear porny than World War III? We’ve been on the brink of it now for the past few years. And this time, it might be nuclear. First it was Ukraine. But despite sending billions to the former comedian turned defender of “democracy,” there has been no headline trumpeting, “World War III Begins!” Then it was Israel. The terrorist assault by Hamas on hang gliders. The furious response, which has killed 30,000 by some reports. Even with our undying loyalty to Israel, still no new world war. What about Iran? The Zionists have been clamoring for a war against the “state sponsor of terrorism” since a few Ayatollahs back. The Doomsters are outraged over this. If they can’t have asteroids, they want the devastation of a worldwide war.

What happened to the hearings that the House Republicans promised to hold, exposing the draconian treatment of the January 6 defendants? And the 14,000 hours of videotape from that day, mysteriously withheld from the public? One would think the Social Justice Warriors would want to immerse themselves in this undeniable proof of “insurrection.” They might even develop “doom boners” of their own. Some Republicucks seemed so anxious to counter the shameful performance of the unconstitutional January 6 Committee. If anybody knows someone with the Republican Freedom Caucus, ask them about this. A lot of us at least expected the kind of hearings we saw in the 1990s, regarding Ruby Ridge and Waco.

It’s no wonder that people started talking about hoaxes and crisis actors. What about the destruction of the Georgia Guidestones in 2022? Some stories hinted that it was “an act of God,” reported by outlets that don’t seem to believe in God. The authorities stated that “unknown individuals” had done it. We could have gotten that same answer from a random preschool group. Well, they might not have used a word like “individuals.” Presumably, these “individuals” are still at large, looking for crime scenes not yet demolished by the authorities. Not a single “journalist” is curious about this. Security cameras are everywhere, except at mass shooting events. They just won’t work during them. Perhaps they won’t work during explosions of conspiracy-friendly structures, either. It’s a Building 7 thing, you wouldn’t understand.

These stories come at such a fast and furious pace that I have to bookmark them on my computer. Otherwise, it’s impossible to keep track of them all. When looking at events like Waco, Oklahoma City, 9/11, or the death of JFK, Jr., it’s very hard to contact witnesses, even the ones who spoke out boldly originally. Were they ordered not to talk? Just decided it was dangerous, and ultimately pointless? It’s very rare to strike gold, as William Law and I did in the new book PIPE THE BIMBO IN RED: DEAN ANDREWS, JIM GARRISON, AND THE CONSPIRACY TO KILL JFK, when the family of Ed Voebel, Lee Harvey Oswald’s best friend in high school, really opened up to us. I can see why updates are hard for writers and researchers without significant resources to get, but what about the authorities themselves, or the establishment press?

We all heard the alarming statistic about the overall death rate rising by a shocking forty percent in 2021. That was Armageddon-style news. I certainly mentioned it a lot. So many of us were waiting with baited breath for the figures from 2022, which considering all the vaccine deaths (wrongly attributed to other causes, or more often just no cause), or the COVID protocol murders in hospitals (which took the life of my brother Ricky), should logically have been even higher. I’ve searched in vain for these numbers. Surely, if they’d somehow gone back to “normal,” the state controlled press would have shouted it in headlines. And the conspiracy people would have insisted, justifiably, that the numbers were fake. Where is this information?

What happened to all the “defund the police” stuff? It seems to have morphed into a “don’t require bail for violent criminals” thing. Well, nonwhite violent criminals, to be specific. And “defund the police” became “worship the Capitol Police” after January 6. The BLM and Antifa protesters are on the side of the police, if those being beaten and mistreated are wearing MAGA hats. In such rare instances, where the combatants are a diverse militarized police force vs. angry White protesters, the ”Woke” Left embraces the police like they were a Black grammar school spelling bee champion. At any rate, the whole reason behind burning the cities down in 2020 was said to be police misconduct. I guess the police started behaving a lot better when Joe Biden entered the White House.

For many of the stories I covered in HIDDEN HISTORY, the trail was ice cold. There hadn’t been any updates on the extremely suspicious death of Lori Klausutis, found dead from a head wound in then Congressman Joe Scarborough’s office, since it happened in 2001. I did what I could, but her family is unreachable. Leftist documentary maker Michael Moore was interested, even starting the web site joescarboroughkilledhis intern.com, but he never responded to my emails. I conducted the first original research on the assassination of JFK, Jr., since the initial stories on the internet in 1999, done by a handful of people. Despite it being hard to reach anyone, I will have some fascinating updates on this in the upcoming book THE AMERICAN MEMORY HOLE.

I know I’m just a community college dropout, but I look at these things the way a professional journalist should. I want resolution. There SHOULD be updates on stories that briefly topped the news feeds. It’s as if not only people, but now events, are famous for fifteen minutes. What happened to that ridiculous proposed cage fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg? The last report, in early November 2023, had Musk still up for the fight. Nothing would exemplify our culture of Idiocracy more than such a spectacle, but it appears to have disappeared down the memory hole. Its fifteen minutes of fame expired. Musk is apparently too busy inventing troll characters to call in to Alex Jones’s show.

We can talk all we want about Hunter Biden’s laptop, but what happened to Anthony Weiner’s laptop? Weren’t there rumors of Hillary Clinton abusing a young girl on it or something? It’s as unavailable as the laptop the lovely Hillary had destroyed with a sledge hammer. Or was it bleach? Or the monstrously evil videotapes of U.S. troops raping Iraqi boys in front of their screaming mothers. Seymour Hersh insists they’re real, and insinuated they’d be shown to an outraged public. That was probably at least fifteen years ago. I spoke to Hersh very briefly a few years back, but didn’t get to ask him about this. At least he answered the phone, unlike the vast majority of those connected to these cases. Another way to put it is that these stories have a very limited shelf life, unlike our preservative-laced food products.

My neighboring county of Loudon County, Virginia, was the epicenter of the angry parents vs. “Woke” authoritarian school boards battle. Schoolboard chair Brenda Sheridan was as bad as it gets, and a petition was circulated to have her removed. Again, one searches in vain for what really happened. Sheridan is recorded as having left her office on December 31, 2023, and wasn’t on the ballot. Did the petition work? Who knows? We do know, that despite a tyranny that included beating and arresting a father who objected to his daughter being raped by a “transgender” (who wasn’t even punished), the “Woke” Democrats held onto a majority in the last election. If we can’t even effect change at that level, it’s time to listen to the Anarchists.

Laken Riley’s family doesn’t appear to be “Woke,” unlike the families of Kate Steinle and Mollie Tibbitts, both also murdered by illegal immigrants. They were seemingly more upset over Trump criticizing the disastrous immigration policies that were responsible for the deaths of their daughters, than for the murders themselves. Trump embraced Laken’s family at a rally, and Laken’s mother blasted Biden for not even knowing her daughter’s name. Biden, meanwhile, was quick to apologize not for getting the victim’s name wrong, but for rather shockingly calling her killer an “illegal.” Biden made it clear to MSNBC that he didn’t want to “treat any of these people with disrespect.” Remember, Trump was first called a “racist” for objecting to illegal immigrants killing American citizens.

I assume Laken Riley’s murderer will actually be prosecuted. Hopefully, he won’t be acquitted, as happened in the case of Kate Steinle’s murder. Juries will rubber stamp guilty verdicts on virtually no credible evidence, but you throw an illegal immigrant into the mix, and things get “complicated,” as they say on social media. Laken’s killer’s brother, I guess the “good” son in the family, was arrested three times in the last few months of 2023. Drunk driving. Shoplifting. Failing to appear in court. How could they have deported him? He could spend ten years in prison. Or less than many peaceful January 6 protesters. His brother, the killer of Laken Riley, will presumably get a longer sentence, if the jury actually convicts him. It’s not like he raped a woman in some unspecific year decades ago, or complained about an election.

Perhaps the disappearing headlines model is best suited for our dumbed down society. Short attention spans, and no desire to delve deeper into any subject. Well, maybe if they investigated whether Kim Kardashian’s ass was real or not, that might hold their interest. Conversations about Trump’s penis size would draw a substantial audience as well. But beyond that, the atrophied intellect of the average American simply shrugs until the next “big story” comes along. The puppet masters probably enjoy toying with us. Jack the Ripper, whoever he was, liked taunting Scotland Yard. He was no bigger a psychopath than our leaders. Many people might enjoy such a game. What’s more delectable than an unsolved mystery? I’ll keep searching for updates where they should logically exist, in the hidden world beyond the headlines.
