Topic: El Mencho

A report by John Bowne details allegations of systemic child abuse and trafficking involving the Department of Justice, the Catholic Church, and international cartels. The report highlights the arrest of a longtime DOJ employee for child pornography and claims that cartel leader El Mencho kept a "black book" of global power players involved in trafficking. Furthermore, it is alleged that Congress has paid $17 million in taxpayer-funded hush money to settle sexual misconduct claims.

A longtime DOJ employee, Timothy Parsons, was recently charged with the possession and distribution of child pornography. This follows reports that the late cartel leader El Mencho kept a "black book" of global power players who purchased trafficked children. Critics argue that the powerful protect these predators because they are often involved in the same criminal activities.

Mexico is characterized as a failed state where drug cartels control over half of the nation's governors. Following the death of cartel boss El Mencho, the CJNG cartel has initiated widespread arson and shootouts. Travel advisories have been issued as the U.S. military reportedly aids Mexican forces in a crackdown that Donald Trump had previously advocated for.
