An Epstein Victim Who Testified Against Ghislaine Maxwell Died This Year, and Her Mother Has Suspicions.

Carolyn Andriano, a victim of sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, whose testimony helped convict his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, died earlier this year from an “accidental overdose”, according to a police investigation in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The 36-year-old mother-of-five had planned to start a new life in North Carolina with her husband and children, but was found unresponsive in a hotel room in West Palm Beach on May 23. The police investigation into her death has concluded, but Andriano’s mother, Dorothy Groenert, has called for further investigation.

Before her death, “she was ecstatic,” Groenert, told The Daily Beast. “She was all set up for a whole new lifestyle.”

“[The investigation] shouldn’t be closed,” she added, explaining how she has “begged [police]… I sent them numerous messages. I’ve asked for them to make meetings, contact me, and to no avail.”

An IRS Contractor Pleaded Guilty to Leaking Trump’s Tax Returns.

Charles Edward Littlejohn, a former contractor for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), pleaded guilty to unauthorized disclosure of tax returns on Thursday. Littlejohn, 38, was charged with stealing tax return information and providing it to two news outlets from 2018 to 2020. Sentencing is set for January 29th, with a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

“The unauthorized theft and disclosure of tax return information by government employees or contractors is a serious breach of the public’s trust,” commented Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri.

“The American people have every right to expect the utmost integrity from those who are granted access to sensitive taxpayer information through their employment with the IRS,” added Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) Deputy Inspector General Trevor Nelson.

In addition to Trump, whom the Justice Department did not name in their statement but is known to be Littlejohn’s main victim due to admissions he made to the court, the contractor “separately stole tax return information for thousands of the nation’s wealthiest individuals.”

‘Allahu Akbar’ Migrant Knifeman Stabs Teacher to Death.

A Chechen migrant granted refugee status in France has murdered a school teacher and wounded another teacher and a security guard at a school in northern France. He was on the country’s watch list.

Mohamed Mogouchkov, said to be aged 19, yelled ‘Allahu Akbar!’ as he attacked French literature teacher Dominique Bernard, said to be in his forties, outside Gambetta High School, Arras, around 11 a.m. on Friday morning.

Mogouchkov was at large and able to carry out his attack despite being a known supporter of the Islamic State terrorist organization. His brother, arrested following the attack, is also a known Islamic State supporter, and spent time in prison for disseminating jihadist propaganda.

Hamas, responsible for the deadly terror raid on Israel last weekend, had called for Friday to be a ‘Day of Jihad’ for Muslims worldwide, but it is unclear whether or not Mogouchkov’s attack was directly related to the call to action as of the time of publication.

M. Bernard is not the first French teacher to be murdered by a Chechen refugee, with Samuel Paty having been publicly beheaded in 2020 for showing images of Mohammed, the Islamic prophet, during a lesson on freedom of expression.

Israeli Diplomat Stabbed in China.

An Israeli diplomat has been stabbed in broad daylight in China, with his struggle with his assailant being captured on video.

The footage shows the embassy staffer, unnamed as of the time of publication, grappling on the ground with a knife-wielding man wearing white, who appears to stab him several times. A number of people can be seen walking or driving by the fracas, occasionally glancing in the direction of the attack but not stopping to intervene.

After brief break in the recording, the two men are seen still on the ground but now separated by a short distance. The bloodied Israeli climbs to his feet and walks away, while the knifeman rises slowly and limps off in the opposite direction.

“An Israeli employee at the Israeli embassy in Beijing was attacked today (not in the embassy area). The employee is being treated in hospital and his condition is stable,” the Israeli embassy confirmed, adding the “background of the attack is being investigated.”

Murdered Leftist Journo Allegedly Groomed His Own Killer.

Far-left Philadelphia activist and journalist Josh Kruger, shot dead in his home in early October, allegedly began a sexual relationship with his suspected killer, Robert Davis, when the latter was just 15.

Kruger, 39, received substantial media coverage after his killing due to his vocal defense of the soft-on-crime policies of Soros-backed District Attorney Larry Krasner. He had previously worked for the city administration, and prominent Democrats including Krasner, Senator John Fetterman, and Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta paid tribute to him following his death.

The family of Davis, who remains on the run as of the time of publication, now say Kruger, who was HIV positive, began a homosexual relationship with the black teen when he was just 15. The suspect’s mother says he told her Kruger “wanted me to do some stuff I didn’t want to do, and if I didn’t do it, he said he was going to blackmail me.”

While these allegations are currently unconfirmed, police sources have told local media “disturbing” content has been found on Kruger’s phone, which has been turned over to the Special Victims Unit for further investigation.

In 2018, Kruger said accusations of pedophilia against gay men such as himself were a “centuries old smear” and “part of a strategy to target LGBTQ people with violence.”

Biden

Biden Was Being Grilled on Classified Documents During Hamas’ Israel Attacks.

Joe Biden was being interviewed as part of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into the discovery of classified documents in his Delaware home and private office at the Penn Biden Center, formerly run by Antony Blinken, as Hamas was unleashing an unprecedented attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip.

The White House has confirmed the 80-year-old Democrat was answering questions about the presence of classified documents in an office closet and in boxes near the spot in his garage where he kept his Corvette over Sunday and Monday, apparently voluntarily.

Biden’s possession of classified documents has received relatively little legacy media attention, and has been investigated much less aggressively than Donald Trump keeping similar material at his Mar-a-Lago estate – despite the fact Biden, as a former vice president and senator, did not have the same authority to declassify sensitive material as Trump.

The timing of Biden’s interview, in the midst of the international crisis following a huge incursion by Hamas terrorists into Israel and a devastating Israeli response, is unusual.

Trump has accused Biden of taking his eye of the ball in the Middle East, empowering state sponsors of terrorism such as Iran and “tossing Israel to the bloodthirsty terrorists and jihadists”.

WATCH: Car Crashes Into Chinese Consulate Visa Office, Driver Shot Dead.

A car smashed into the Chinese consulate in San Francisco on Monday and ended up in the lobby of its visa office, with the driver reportedly being shot dead by responding police officers after emerging from the vehicle shouting: “Where’s the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)?”

Sergeant Kathryn Winters, speaking on behalf of the San Francisco Police Department, confirmed officers “found the vehicle had come to rest inside the lobby of the Chinese Consulate. Officers entered, made contact with the suspect and an officer-involved shooting occurred.”

The driver, who remains unidentified as of the time of publication, was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital.

A consulate spokesman complained the incident “caused serious damage to our consulate’s facilities and properties” and said the embassy had “made solemn representations to the U.S., demanding that the truth be quickly ascertained and dealt with seriously in accordance with the law.”

A 23andMe Data Hack Appears to Target Ashkenazi Jews.

Hackers have obtained a vast list of individuals with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry from the genetic testing service 23andMe and have shared it on the internet.

The database, titled “ashkenazi DNA Data of Celebrities,” contains the information of 999,999 alleged users of the service, including their names, gender, and the evaluation of their ancestral origins provided by 23andMe. Despite the title of the database, it primarily consists of non-famous individuals and seems to have been filtered to include only those with Ashkenazi heritage.

23andMe is treating the leak as genuine and is currently investigating the incident. A spokesperson for the company states that it does not believe it was directly hacked. Instead, it suspects that the hackers obtained some users’ passwords from other breached sites, which were then used to exploit the fact that 23andMe allows users access to extensive genetic information from other users. Earlier this week, a hacker on a prominent forum claimed to have a larger database of users for sale, although it remains uncertain whether the individuals who filtered the list by Ashkenazi heritage are the same as those who initially compiled it.

DOD Official Ran Dogfighting Ring, Electrocuted Losers to Death.

Senior Department of Defense official Frederick Douglass Moorefield, former Deputy Chief Information Officer at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, was arrested in Maryland on charges of operating a secret dog fighting ring for 20 years.

“On September 6, 2023, law enforcement officers executed search warrants at Moorefield and Flythe’s residences in Maryland,” said a Department of Justice (DOJ) statement, Flythe being Moorefield’s friend and alleged accomplice Mario Flythe.

“Following the execution of these warrants, twelve dogs were recovered and seized by the federal government,” the statement continued. “Law enforcement also recovered veterinary steroids, training schedules, a carpet that appeared to be stained with blood, and a weighted dog vest with a patch reading ‘Geehad Kennels.’ In addition, law enforcement officers seized a device consisting of an electrical plug and jumper cables, which the affidavit alleges is consistent with devices used to execute dogs that lose dogfights.”

Department of Defense spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Timothy Gorman confirmed the DOD was “aware of the criminal complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.”

“We can confirm that the individual is no longer in the workplace, but we cannot comment further on an individual personnel matter,” he added.

Hunter

Hunter Biden Pleads Not Guilty to Gun Charges.

President Joe Biden’s son Hunter has pleaded not guilty to three felony gun charges, potentially leading to a highly public trial while his father is in the midst of a reelection campaign.

Special Counsel David Weiss previously brokered a plea deal with Hunter Biden’s legal team, effectively dropping the gun charges, relating to unlawful possession of a firearm while abusing illegal drugs and lying on official forms, as part of a diversion agreement, in exchange for a guilty plea to misdemeanor tax crimes.

This “sweetheart deal” fell apart when Delaware judge Maryellen Noreika, a Donald Trump appointee, began to interrogate the questionable way the tax crime plea deal and gun crime diversion agreement tied together, and the extremely broad immunity they appeared to grant the First Son from prosecution for other crimes.

Hunter may now face tax-related charges in the future, with prosecutors also suggesting potential charges related to his overseas business activities, including violations of foreign lobbying laws.
