Families hoping to make memories on a cruise were unknowingly surrounded by alleged child predators working aboard the ships, according to law enforcement officials.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection boarded five cruise ships, including a Disney cruise docked in San Diego, between April 23 and 25 as part of ongoing Child Sexual Exploitation Material enforcement operations, a CBP spokesperson told The California Post.
“After boarding the vessels and interviewing 26 suspected crew members from the Philippines, one suspected crew member from Portugal, and one from Indonesia, officers confirmed all subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography,” the CBP spokesperson said.

About 40 passengers previously left ship hit by Hantavirus at island of St. Helena
About 40 passengers on a cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak previously disembarked on the remote South Atlantic island of St. Helena after the first passenger died, Dutch officials said Thursday.
The dozens of passengers, including the wife of a Dutch man who died, left the cruise ship during a stop at the British territory, the Dutch foreign ministry said.
The Dutch cruise company that operates the ship previously said the Dutch woman disembarked the ship with her husband's body at St. Helena. She then flew to South Africa on a commercial plane and died after collapsing at an airport in Johannesburg.
However, the company had not acknowledged that anyone else got off the ship at St. Helena.
Authorities in South Africa and Europe are trying to trace contacts of any passengers who got off the ship. It emerged Wednesday that a man tested positive for hantavirus in Switzerland after he also disembarked at St. Helena and flew home, though his precise movements aren't clear.
Dutch authorities did not confirm where other passengers who disembarked are now.
A British man was evacuated from the ship to South Africa from Ascension Island days later, according to the company, while three people, including the ship's doctor, were evacuated from the ship while it was near Cape Verde and taken to Europe for treatment on Wednesday.
(There is something weird about this story. Normally, hantavirus is passed to humans from infected rat droppings. The only exception is the Andes strain, but that requires prolonged contact with another human's infected fluids. Natural hantavirus has an r-naught close to zero, but the rates of infection on this cruise ship suggest something more "gain of function"ed.)

[Flashback] Is It Just A Coincidence That 8 UK MPs Who Are Also WEF Members Also Supported Rishi Sunak Before Johnson & Mordaunt Conceded ?
In what can only be considered a “coup” to oust Liz Truss, we had WEF Prime Minister Liz Truss and WEF member Kwasi Kwarteng at the helm implementing more intended devastation for the UK economy.
Guess who then took over to “right” the ship. That’s right, it was WEF member Jeremy Hunt. You know how I feel about coincidences
Then 3 people enter the fray to become the UKs next PM. Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson and Penny Mordaunt.
Tickle me pink that all 3 are also WEF members. Whoever said that democracy was an illusion !!!
And then there is the small matter of the UK government also being WEF partners. Yes, they aren’t just members they are partners in crime.

Jeffrey Epstein 'Suicide Note' Emerges by Tyler Durden
A federal judge on Wednesday unsealed a purported suicide note attributed to Jeffrey Epstein, written before his first reported incident in July 2019 and discovered by his then-cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, tucked inside a graphic novel. The undated, unsigned document - released as part of Tartaglione’s unrelated criminal case docket - contains lines such as "They investigated me for month - found NOTHING!!!" and references to saying goodbye. It has been kept under seal for nearly seven years.
The note’s release comes amid a flood of Epstein-related document dumps in 2025–2026, yet it does little to quiet the persistent, deeply unsettling questions about how Epstein actually died on August 10, 2019, inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan. Official ruling: suicide by hanging. Public consensus, reinforced by every major new tranche of files: something about that story has never added up - and the weirdness only multiplies with each disclosure.
The Official Timeline vs. Reality on the GroundEpstein was found unresponsive in his cell shortly before 6:30 a.m. on August 10, 2019. Attorney General William Barr immediately called it an "apparent suicide." The medical examiner ruled it a hanging. Case closed - or so the government insisted.
The facts on the ground were different:
Less than three weeks earlier, on July 23, Epstein had been found semi-conscious with an orange cloth tied around his neck. He was placed on suicide watch for barely 31 hours before being removed, despite a psychologist’s note that he "needs a cellmate" for safety.
On August 9, his cellmate was transferred out with no replacement - in direct violation of standing orders sent to more than 70 staff members.
Hours before his death, Epstein was allowed a 20-minute unmonitored phone call from the SHU shower area using a non-inmate phone line, violating every Bureau of Prisons protocol. Logs omitted the call entirely.
His cell contained a hoard of extra linens and blankets - material explicitly prohibited because it can be fashioned into nooses. No required cell search occurred that day.
Then there's this...
When jail officials asked Mr. Epstein about red marks on his neck after the incident in July, he first said that Mr. Tartaglione had attacked him and that he was not suicidal. Mr. Tartaglione has long denied assaulting Mr. Epstein, who later told jail officials he “never had any issues” with his cellmate.
Mr. Tartaglione said he gave the note to his lawyers because he believed it could have been helpful if Mr. Epstein continued to claim that he had tried to hurt him. Mr. Tartaglione was convicted in 2023 and is now serving four life sentences. He has maintained his innocence and has appealed his conviction. -NYT
Then came the night itself.
The Orange Shape, the Missing Noose, and the Sleeping GuardsNewly released footage and DOJ admissions confirm that at approximately 10:39 p.m. on August 9, an "orange-colored shape" moved up the L Tier staircase toward Epstein’s isolated, locked tier. The observation log initially described it as possibly "an inmate escorted up." The DOJ’s Office of Inspector General later called it an unidentified corrections officer carrying orange "linen or bedding." Officers on duty insisted no linen exchange happened that night. Forensic video experts reviewing the pixelated clip concluded it was far more likely a person in an orange jumpsuit.
No one was supposed to have access. The tier was supposed to be under constant visual monitoring. Instead, guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas - both later fired - falsified more than 75 entries on count sheets and round logs. They were asleep or idle for hours. Required 30-minute checks were never performed after roughly 10:40 p.m. Noel had googled "Latest Epstein jail" at 5:42 a.m. and 5:52 a.m. the morning Epstein was found; she had also made multiple large cash deposits in the preceding months.
The ligature itself - the actual noose - has never been properly accounted for. Guards gave conflicting statements about removing it. One collected item was later ruled not to be the ligature used. It simply vanished from the official record.
Autopsy Oddities That Still Haunt the CasePathologist Dr. Michael Baden, hired by Epstein’s brother Mark, examined the autopsy photos and reached a stark conclusion: the neck fractures (bilateral thyroid cartilage plus left hyoid) were "more consistent with ligature homicidal strangulation" than suicidal hanging.
He noted he had reviewed over a thousand jail hangings and had never seen three fractures like these in a suicide.

Young Americans delaying marriage and kids due to high living costs.
The birthrate in the United States has been steadily declining for years, and demographers say the trend now sits well below the level needed to keep the population stable.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. total fertility rate fell to 1.62 births per woman in 2023, down from roughly 2.1 births per woman in 1990, the level generally considered necessary for a population to replace itself from one generation to the next.
Researchers say the decline is being driven by a mix of economic pressures and shifting social trends.
One of the most frequently cited factors is the rising cost of raising children. Housing prices, childcare, and healthcare expenses have all increased significantly for younger adults. Childcare alone can cost well over $10,000 per year in many parts of the United States, making it difficult for many families to afford larger households.
(Many of those birthe are to legal and illegal aliens.)

RAMageddon: The era of the 500-dollar laptop is officially dead
AI server farms sucking up global memory supply for years to come…
Gartner warns entry-level PC segment will vanish by 2028…
Apple and Microsoft already quietly bumping entry-level stickers by 200 dollars…
Your next computer is being priced out of existence by the bots.
AI isn’t just taking the jobs, it’s taking the hardware.
Digital poverty is the new frontier of the silicon shortage.
The end of the cheap laptop, the bargain phone and affordable games consoles may be on the horizon. Not because new models are more hi-tech, but because the cost of computer components has shot up.
Recently, the biggest manufacturers of laptops and phones, including Microsoft, Samsung and Dell, started putting up prices and pulling cheaper models – which is going to make finding budget phones and laptops under £400 much harder.
The root cause is a shortage of memory chips which the tech press has dubbed “RAMageddon”. But it isn’t a conflict or lack of materials causing the shortage, it is the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and the datacentres the technology relies on.
Memory chips are crucial to just about every modern piece of electronics and are also used in other important components such as graphics cards, creating a knock-on effect.
