Feds Find 30K Mexican Passport Holders With Middle Eastern Names in Fraud Investigation

Federal law enforcement authorities have been tracking a disturbing recent trend that could be a significant security threat. The Department of Homeland Security believes that up to 30,000 individuals with Middle Eastern names are traveling on Mexican passports that they may have obtained fraudulently.

The 30,000 individuals are undergoing “additional investigation,” says DHS. The government is trying to determine if any of the 30,000 Mexican passport holders traveled to the United States and whether there were any patterns in their travel.

Given the porousness of our Southern border, even the usually quiescent DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appears a little worried. He said that the United States risks losing its “first line of defense” because of the “unsustainable” amount of illegal immigration at the border.

Washington Free Beacon:

There are fears that terror groups such as al Qaeda could take advantage of the strained immigration system. Last April, for example, two Yemeni nationals on the terrorist watch list were apprehended at the southern border. Law enforcement officials appear concerned that bad actors could abuse the legal travel system to enter the country with passports obtained from Mexico, and enter the United States legally. Roughly 20 million Mexican citizens easily travel to the United States as tourists each year, according to the U.S. Travel Association.

“This investigation highlights that criminals often use legal travel to facilitate criminal activity,” the senior DHS official told the Free Beacon. “The nexus to Mexico should cause the public and lawmakers to reflect on how a porous border can be even more dangerous.”

Indeed, the bulk of the investigations is left to a little-known but vital piece of our first line of defense against attack. Since 2001, Custom and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center in Sterling, Va., has worked nonstop to catch travelers and detect cargo that threatens U.S. security.

The concerning passports were identified by the agency’s National Targeting Center, the memo states. The lesser known subagency, created shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, “works quickly and quietly to identify people and products that pose potential threats to our Nation’s security, and to stop them from entering the United States,” according to a 2014 public memo.

The National Targeting Center also assists Immigration and Customs Enforcement with deporting money launderers and child predators, the senior DHS official said. The National Targeting Center regularly partners with other agencies on investigations involving terrorism or global criminal networks.

Obviously, not all 30,000 fraudulent passports are from terrorists. But a false passport is a necessity if the holder wants to engage in criminal activity. The ease with which criminals can cross the border to conduct their business should make breaking any fraud ring responsible for creating false identification a priority.

U.S. Forces Ordered to Stop Using Gender Pronouns to Improve ‘Lethality’

Pacific Air Force base bans references to gender, age, and race

A division of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), the branch tasked with confronting China, has ordered its senior leaders and commanders to stop using gender pronouns in written formats, saying the shift to more neutral language will help improve the fighting force’s "lethality."

"In accordance with the Diverse PACAF priority, ‘We must embrace, promote and unleash the potential of diversity and inclusion," states a May email sent to senior leaders and commanders at the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, which operates under the Pacific Air Forces, according to a partial copy of the order obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Leaders at the base are instructed, "Do not use pronouns, age, race, etc." when writing performance reviews or other materials, such as recommendations for awards. "Competition against near-peer adversaries requires a united focus from the command, the joint team, and our international partners. Welcoming and employing varied perspectives from a foundation of mutual respect will improve our interoperability, efficiency, creativity, and lethality."

The policy change is part of a larger effort by the Biden administration and U.S. military to foster what it says is a more culturally sensitive environment. The U.S. Navy, for instance, recently published a video instructing its sailors on proper gender pronouns. The Army also mandates gender identity training and trains officers on when to offer subordinates gender-transition surgery, the Free Beacon first reported in March. Critics of these moves say a woke cultural agenda is handicapping America’s fighting forces and distracting it from pressing global challenges, such as terrorism and China’s aggressive war moves.

A spokesman for the Anderson Air Force Base confirmed the authenticity of the email, telling the Free Beacon that the Air Force is shifting "to a narrative writing format for awards and performance reports." The ban on "pronouns, age, race" and other written descriptors is "intended to eliminate any information that could identify the nominee's name, gender, age, or race so that all members had a fair and equal chance at winning."

The Andersen air base, the spokesman said, specifically "developed local quarterly award guidance to ensure each nominee was considered without the potential of unfair biases." Leaders at the base are "continually working to remove barriers and [are] dedicated to ensuring all members have the opportunity to excel."

The email goes on to list "authorized" and "unauthorized" examples of pronoun use.

The "unauthorized examples" include: "He/She did," "Best male/female," "Youngest/Oldest," and "Sergeant Murray." The list of "authorized examples" include: "This sergeant," "This NCO [Non-commissioned officer]," and "This member."

The policy shift jibes with the Pacific Air Forces’ overarching goal to promote "diversity and inclusion" at all levels of the service, according to the military spokesman.

"Unleashing the potential of diversity and inclusion at all levels is a Pacific Air Forces' priority and something we strive for at Andersen," the spokesman said. "Diversity and inclusion are force multipliers and warfighting imperatives that enable our competitive advantage against near-peer adversaries."

Rebeccah Heinrichs, a defense policy expert and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute think tank, told the Free Beacon that the Pacific Air Forces’ intense focus on pronoun issues is "a giant sucking waste of time."

Military leaders who should be focused on defending the United States from an ever-increasing array of threats—particularly in the Pacific, where China is flexing its military might—are instead spending valuable time thinking about rules on proper pronoun use.

"It is painful to think about the amount of time servicemen have already spent writing these rules instead of figuring out how to beat China," Henrichs said. "Somebody needs to remind DoD leadership that they’re in the business of preventing and winning wars and not in the Oberlin lounge."

Crist resigns from Congress in home stretch of bid unseat Florida GOP Gov. DeSantis

Crist did not state the reason behind his resignation.

Rep. Charlie Crist, Florida's Democratic nominee for governor, is resigning Wednesday from Congress – leaving the House seat vacant until after the November midterms.

Crist, a former Florida governor, is trying to unseat GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis and, as with most gubernatorial races, is in the final busy weeks of campaigning throughout the state.

However, he did not give an explanation about why he resigned from his seat in the state's 13th Congressional District, along Florida's Gulf Coast, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Crist was elected to Congress in 2016. He served as Florida governor from 2007 to 2011.

Republican Anna Paulina Luna will face off against Democrat Eric Lynn to fill Crist's seat.

FBI to help investigate suspected Russian cyberattacks on Montenegro

The cyberattacks, described by officials as unprecedented and believed to have been launched by Russian hackers, hit Montenegro government IT services last week.

The US Federal Bureau for Investigation (FBI) will send Cyber Action Teams (CAT) to Montenegro to help it investigate recent cyberattacks on government digital infrastructure, the interior ministry said on Wednesday.

The cyberattacks, described by officials as unprecedented and believed by the National Security Agency (ANB) to have been launched by Russian hackers, hit Montenegro government IT services last week.

Public Administration Minister Maras Dukaj has said that 150 workstations in 10 state institutions had been infected. The government had not received any request for ransom over compromised material.

NATO, France offer assistance to Montenegro authorities

NATO-member Montenegro's top police officials met on Wednesday with the FBI's legal attache for Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro and agreed that CAT experts should help in the investigation, the interior ministry said in a statement.

France and NATO have already pledged assistance, according to media reports.

Government officials have confirmed that ANB suspected that Russia was behind the attacks, saying they could be retaliation after Montenegro joined European Union sanctions against Russia and expelled several Russian diplomats.

Hackers also attacked Montenegro's state digital infrastructure on election day in 2016, and then again over a span of several months in 2017 when the former Yugoslav republic was about to join NATO.

‘So Excited’: Emails Show Local Librarians Recruiting Drag Performers For Kids

Emails from librarians who brought cross-dressing performers to Republican-leaning Saint Louis suburbs this summer illustrate how easy it is for a few public employees to hijack tax-funded resources to promote sexual behaviors to children.

Emails obtained by The Federalist show just a few local librarians in Collinsville and Glen Carbon, Illinois, working with other librarians to use their public positions to promote personal causes. The Collinsville and Glen Carbon Centennial public libraries this summer featured “drag queen storytime” events on June 3, 7, and 21 to promote homosexual “Pride Month.”

National surveys show the profession is overwhelmingly white and female — 87 and 81 percent, respectively, in a 2014 American Library Association (ALA) survey. That’s the same demographic becoming Democrats’ most significant voting bloc and often the most likely to push identity politics, often for personal psychological reasons.

While the ALA recently urged librarians whose communities don’t want public institutions to push sexual information on kids to “sneak” LGBT materials in, these librarians wanted to go further. They wanted more than a Pride Month display that merely puts sex books at toddlers’ eye level. They wanted drag shows for kids.

Librarians All-In for Exposing Kids

The obtained emails indicate professional librarians’ networks enthusiastically assisted with creating and promoting these events. February 2022 emails The Federalist obtained through an open-records request in June show Glen Carbon youth librarian Aimee Villet asking Saint Louis librarians to recommend drag performers to hire: “[W]ould love to offer a Drag Queen storytime at our library,” Villet wrote.

The emails show Villet also wrote seeking drag performer names from Library Director Ashley Stewart in nearby Caseyville, Illinois, which featured a drag performance last year.

The response Stewart sent back wasn’t shown in the records returned, but a follow-up from Villet was. It shows the librarians expected negative feedback from local taxpayers but wouldn’t allow it to affect their plans.

“LGBTQIA+ programming for kids always leads to complaints,” Villet acknowledged. But, as she and Collinsville children’s librarian Sam Camero agreed in other emails, they were “prepared for hard conversations,” as Villet put it to Camero on May 18.

Villet ultimately obtained a link to drag performer Maxi Glamour’s contact page from Saint Louis Public Library Youth Services Manager Joe Monahan, the emails show. The performer’s IMDB page says he also goes by Max Wright. Villet booked Wright for two events in the Glen Carbon Centennial Library this summer — one for children and one for adults only.

“We want to do something special this year [for Pride Month] beyond our usual displays and passive programs,” Villet told Wright.

Glen Carbon Library Director Christine Gerrish told The Federalist the library paid Wright $300 for the two events.

‘So Excited’

The emails show multiple librarians expressing enthusiasm and anticipation for Wright’s drag performance.

“I was so excited when Aimee brought up the idea to have you come to our library,” Glen Carbon librarian Betsye Stinson wrote on March 8 to the drag performer. She suggested that his adults-only event at the Glen Carbon library promote activist causes by sharing “more about the history of Drag in STL [Saint Louis], hearing about your personal interest, and providing insight on how to be a better ally and how to support and uplift marginalized QTPOC members in our community.”

Twitter's lack of tools to detect child sexual abuse material on its platform stifled its plans to become an OnlyFans competitor, leaked internal documents show

Twitter was said to have been working on an OnlyFans-style subscription earlier this year that would let users sell nude photo and videos, but internal documents obtained by The Verge show the plan was stifled because the firm 'cannot accurately detect child sexual exploitation and non-consensual nudity at scale.'

The statement, according to the report, was made by Twitter's so-called 'Red Team' that included 84 employees tasked with testing the product to ensure it could be done 'safely and responsibly.'

Along with inadequate tools to detect child pornography, the Red Team determined that allowing more porn on the site would lead to scrutiny from lawmakers and many longtime users may eventually jump ship.

These warnings forced executives to put a pause on its Adult Content Monetization (ACM) until Twitter can create the proper tools to ensure a safe environment.

Not only is child pornography said to be an issue, but Twitter also lacked adequate tools to verify both creators and customers were over the age of 18, the documents state.

Twitter does, however, use a database built by Microsoft called PhotoDNA that can identify and remove CSMA, but the system cannot pick up on content that is not already part of the database.

The Microsoft system, developed in 2009, fails to pick up on content not already in its database and is also unable to identify those that have been digitally altered.

Twitter and all similar social media platforms are mandated by law to report child sexual exploitation (CSE) found on their sites to the government-funded National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

The Verge states that NCMEC revealed Twitter reports one million instances of CSE each month and 84 percent contain newly-discovered CSE. All of which would have been overlooked by PhotoDNA.

According to the report, Twitter's Health team, which focuses on ensure safety on the platform, is said to have warned the company's executive about the platform's CSAM problem since February 2021.

This team, which focuses on ensuring the platform is safe, previously alerted the firm that it needs tools to detect CES and urged leadership to make it happen - but it seems this has yet to happen.

'While the amount of CSE online has grown exponentially, Twitter's investment in technologies to detect and manage the growth has not,' begins a February 2021 report from the company's Health team.

Although Twitter is suffering the same issues as nearly every other social media platform, others have taken the steps and forked over the cash to work on a fix.

META CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is under scrutiny for privacy issues on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, took a jab at Twitter in 2019 when he said: 'The amount of our budget that goes toward our safety systems I believe is greater than Twitter's revenue for this whole year.'

OnlyFans was set to ban pornography from its site starting October 2021 in a move 'to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers,' an OnlyFans spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com last year.

The platform announced the changes on August 20, 2021, but dropped it five days later after intense backlash from creators who said they would lose money and ultimately quit OnlyFans.

Creators receive 80 percent commission on their earnings, while the remaining 20 percent goes to the company, covering 'referral payments, payment processing, hosting, support, and all other services'.

11 arrested so far in undercover sting targeting child predators

PAXTON — In the two months since the Paxton Police Department launched an undercover operation targeting child predators, 11 men have already been arrested in the sting, with warrants expected to be issued soon for the arrest of three more.

Paxton Police Chief Coy Cornett said the undercover operation began June 23 following a few weeks of training sessions through the Livingston County Proactive Unit, which reportedly has made more than 40 arrests of its own through a similar program started in that county a year ago.

Like the former reality television series “To Catch A Predator,” the undercover operation has involved a Paxton police officer posing online as a 14- or 15-year-old girl from Paxton and waiting for adults to solicit them for sex. Meetings are then arranged with the adults, who are arrested when they show up.

“We started getting hits immediately from people soliciting minors and children,” Cornett said. “It was immediate.”

As of Monday, 11 men ranging in age from 25 to 62 had been arrested and charged with felony crimes as a result of the sting, with five already having pleaded guilty, Cornett said. Police have also sent reports to Ford County State’s Attorney Andrew Killian seeking warrants for the arrest of three others, Cornett said.

The undercover sting is ongoing. Cornett noted that new equipment could be acquired to assist in the operation — including a cell phone and laptop computer to be used specifically for it — if the police department begins working closely with the FBI as is expected to happen. Also if the police department begins assisting the FBI, Cornett said, people arrested in the future as a result of the operation could be charged in federal court instead of state court.

“Right now, it’s looking like we might actually start assisting the FBI with their Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force stuff,” Cornett said. “We’re still speaking with them about it … It’s a win-win situation to be assisting the feds.”

Cornett said the officer doing the undercover work will receive a letter of commendation. Cornett declined to name the officer Monday but said the officer would be recognized at the next Paxton City Council meeting.

“He’s doing an excellent job with this,” Cornett said. “I can’t be any prouder.”

Report: CA school district orders health textbook touting 10 sexual orientations — such as androsexual, polysexual, and gynesexual — and 8 gender identities

A California school district has ordered a health textbook for high schoolers that claims there are 10 sexual orientations and eight gender identities, Fox News reported.

What are the details?

Newport-Mesa Unified School District ordered the "Comprehensive Health Skills for High School" textbook, which claims there are 10 sexual orientations — including androsexual, polysexual, skoliosexual, demisexual, and gynesexual, the cable network said.

In addition, the textbook also says there are eight gender identities — including androgynous, bigender, gender-nonconforming, gender questioning, and nonbinary, Fox News added.

What did the school district have to say?

When the cable network reached out to the Newport-Mesa for comment, officials replied that "we follow the state-adopted standards for health education, which includes sexual health. We use a state-approved health curriculum with select modules, taught by credentialed teachers."

Fox News said the district added that "parents can opt out their child from participating in comprehensive sex education. Parents also have the ability to review all curriculum taught in our schools so that they can be well-informed and make the best decisions for their child. We understand that there are varying viewpoints and beliefs and we follow California State Standards for curriculum, while also supporting parent choice."

What did a mother in the district have to say?

Alicia Beget, a mother in the district, told the cable network that officials there "are sexualizing our kids and normalizing sexual behavior [at a young age]."

Beget added to Fox News that students are being placed "in a situation where they think that this is safe, that this is healthy, this is how we show love. And so they are being exploited by very evil people."

"This is part of a larger agenda that those at the very top are well aware of what they're doing," Beget also told the cable network.

Anything else?

Newport-Mesa was in the news earlier this month over a "Genderbread Identity" infographic in its sex education curriculum created to facilitate gender conversations with middle and high school students.

The "Genderbread Identity" infographic is part of the "Teen Talk" sex-ed curriculum, which is taught to thousands of students throughout California, Fox News said in a separate story.

A video included with the Teen Talk program reportedly follows two transitioning teenagers who discuss "what it is like to be trans in high school."

BIG TECH RAMPS UP PURGE OF THE TRUTH: Google Just Removed World Net Daily, The First Online Conservative News Site, From Its Search Engine — LOOK What Happens When You Click On WND From Google’s Search Engine

Big tech, the political establishment, the United Nations and the World Economic Forum are cohesively endeavoring to implement the Great Reset agenda and usher in a New World Order. This agenda can only be achieved by making the conservative, Christian, and pro-American paradigms obsolete and decimating public awareness by barring access to the truth.

Google has removed World Net Daily, the first online conservative news publication, from its search engine.

Readers who search for WND on Google are now directed to a page that issues an advisory when they click on the news site from the tech giant’s search engine.

“Warning — visiting this web site may harm your computer!” Google cautions. “Or you can continue to https//”www.wnd.com/ at your own risk.”

The advisory instructs users to visit Google’s “Safe Browsing diagnostic page” for “detailed information about the problems for” the WND’s site.

The diagnostic page directs users to Google’s “Transparency Report,” which states there is, “No unsafe content found” on the WND.

Prior to the 2016 election, World Net Daily was one of the leading online new sites on the Web.

Then tech giants resorted to collusion with the Democrat Party, the World Health Organization and even the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to “stop the next Trump situation,” hijack the internet and rape and pillage the First Amendment.

Google is ramping up its effort to quash every news organization committed to exposing the truth and public corruption and the latest attack on WND may permanently defunct the a news organization that was the most preeminent source for conservative readers prior to the machine’s assault on free speech.

“Google demonetized WND.com a few months ago, which severely hurt our revenues, but this current attack is a genuine kill shot: Google is now warning the entire world that a respected 25-year-old independent Christian journalism site is harmful to their computer. That’s vicious,” WND’s managing editor David Kupelian told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview.

“Our tech team said this latest Google attack on WND was instigated by the appearance of a new advertiser on the site that had some sort of malware issue,” Kupelian continued. “That advertiser was immediately taken off WND, and indeed Google’s warning page links to a page that for many days now has clearly announced, in Google’s own words, ‘No unsafe content found.’

“Yet Google persists in persecuting WND in this way day after day, because our political, cultural and moral worldview is very different from Google’s. That, of course, is what this is really about.”

Mainstream media news organizations are not only financially safeguarded with exorbitant sponsorship from corrupt pharmaceutical companies, but are supported by Google and Big Tech for advancing false, anti-American narratives.

“After all, if it was CNN.com or WashingtonPost.com that experienced the same issue with an advertiser and then immediately dropped the advertiser when the problem became apparent, do we really believe that Google would be attacking CNN and the Washington Post day after day, warning the world that these leftwing sites they love ‘may harm your computer’? Of course not,” Kupelian added.

In addition to being removed from the Google search engine and ostensibly shadow banned on Facebook and every social media platform, tech giants are now categorizing WND’s email alerts as spam.

“Possibly even worse, WND is also receiving a flood of reader reports that subscribers to WND’s email alerts are seeing those emails redirected to their spam folders! It seems that once WND was officially condemned by Google as ‘harmful to your computer,’ the various email providers took the cue from Google and stopped delivering WND’s emails to their intended recipients,” Kupelian explained. “But as with most independent news sites, email is our lifeblood.”

Republican Establishment Attorneys Connected to Bush and Romney File Brief in Support of FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago

A group of RINOs connected to the Bushes and Mitt Romney filed a brief in Florida requesting the judge to deny President Trump’s request to look into the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago.

FOX News reported this morning that a group of seven former prosecutors filed an amicus brief asking the Federal judge in Florida to deny President Trump’s request to look into the FBI’s illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago.

Ahead of the Department of Justice’s filing Tuesday night that opposed President Trump’s call for a “special master” to review White House documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, seven former federal prosecutors filed an amicus brief asking a Florida federal judge to deny his request.

Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, Donald B. Ayer, Gregory A. Brower, John J. Farmer Jr., Stuart M. Gerson, Peter D. Keisler, William F. Weld – who all served in Republican administrations – called Trump’s request a “waste of time.”

The motion said the former prosecutors have a “special interest” in the case and “can provide assistance to the court.”

“Amici all served in Republican administrations and collectively have decades of experience prosecuting cases involving sensitive materials or advising on matters regarding the proper scope of executive power and executive privilege,” the motion said.

The brief said Trump’s request should be denied because the appointment of a special master for a claim of executive privilege by a former president “against the same Executive Branch to which the privilege belongs” is unprecedented.

Christine Todd Whitman is a RINO who spoke at the Democrat convention in support of Joe Biden.
