So today in the news, Reuters and many other news outlets are reporting the fire at a Guatemala children's shelter:
Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-guatemala-children-idUSKBN16F243
Domestic worker Alicia Lopez, 50, had been outside the home for hours trying to find out what happened to her autistic 12-year-old son who came to the center with a drug addiction. She said he had been raped there last week.
New York Times: https://archive.is/TzcrQ#selection-1833.0-1833.218
Distraught relatives said abuse was common at the centre, which is run by the Ministry for Social Welfare, and presidential spokesman Heinz Heimann condemned what he described as the shelter's open living arrangements.
Al Jazeera http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/03/guatemala-fire-deadly-blaze-rips-child-centre-170308172956284.html
UNICEF and the prosecutor for human rights called for the home's closure last year after complaints of overcrowding along with physical and sexual abuse.
And there are other reports of children being raped there and suicides. Awful.

Then over at George Webb's Youtube Channel, someone wrote an interesting comment on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL7i8BIjhGw
Hmmm. Another strange coincidence. NYT says all the dead in this fire in a children's shelter (in Guatemala) were girls, but that may not be the whole story. USNS Spearhead was sitting off the coast of Guatemala again when it happened. The shelter is inland, but accessible by helicopter. https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2017/03/08/world/americas/08reuters-guatemala-children.html?_r=0
Last time USNS Spearhead was there(a few weeks ago) a well known activist was assassinated. Just saying.
So, since I've become quite fascinated by all things military lately, I thought I'd have a look at USNS Spearhead.
It seems that the USNS Spearhead works in the area of humanitarian assistance as well as special operations support and does quite a lot of training in the Caribbean.
In 2015 according to this article, In Guatemala, they provided prenatal care to more than 400 women and treated children for parasitic infections.
And here's another example of their humanitarian assistance in Gabon, painting and repairing a local orphanage.
Now I'm not saying at all that the two are connected, how could I ? But lately I seem to be looking into strange coincidences where children's shelters are concerned. As for the helicopter comment, that rings a bell. That recent raid in Haiti during the Superbowl, I seem to remember that the rescued children mentioned rewards/promises of helicopter rides, one of the nearby resorts is a base for UN soldiers...hmm...now where was that article.....

USNS Spearhead was definitely in Guatemala. They have a Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/navycp

One of the pics found in the orphanage's FB page is a swirl logo. https://www.facebook.com/HogarDeNinosAsuncionDeLaVirgen/photos/a.379922485418494.88998.374401939303882/1010606302350106/?type=3&theater

September 2016, Reuters Guatemala denounces corruption at U.N. while scandal brews at home:

Please notice this news article by publinews. There is a statement from a mother. That says she has a seventeen year old daughter that was raped by an “American man” in that foster home. She has received death threats. There are reports about child prostitution in that place.

Omg. What a find.

I bet they stole the girls for satanic rituals.

So do I have to read every comment over at George Webb's video to find what you call interesting?
cantsleepawink ago
The comment is in my post !
GregNH ago
Sorry, it seemed like I needed to click on the link....
cantsleepawink ago
That's alright. Maybe it's not so obvious. I've put the comment in italics now so, hopefully it stands out a bit more.

Good work and your connection not only make sense but feel right. Is staffing of a ship classified? Wonder if we could find any ex-Spearhead sailors with stories? Lots of folks in the USN with be OUTRAGED if Navy used by these f**ks...
AreWeSure ago
In what way does this connection make sense? A US military boat is near a country. Way inland, there's a fire? How are these things connected? Pure conjecture about a helicopter.
This is not thinking critically. This is unquestioningly accepting confirmation bias.

Lots of reports of ships (military) coming to "save" refuges..then refuges off to parts unknown..some of these ships disappear from maritime radars...
cantsleepawink ago
Well, I checked on the interactive maritime map over on the TNT subverse and it certainly was hanging around off the coast at Puerto Barrios, Guatemala.
pbvrocks ago
Do you know if it has been implicated in some of the other "refugee rescues"? It is a "humanitarian" ship....
Justin_TeroG8 ago
I wonder how to contact Naval Intelligence? Maybe they'd investigate?
pbvrocks ago
Doubtful..good folks in the military no doubt...but bad as well and I would guess they were not doing good things...

These types of acivities would be done by CIA, potentially in coordination with SEALs.
fogdryer ago
You are kidding me right? Investigated by CIA? They do child trafficking themselves you do know that right! I don't think navy intiliegence will take us seriously. I would suggest dig more evidence then regroup to find someone to go to. I suggest Judicial watch maybe
pizzaequalspedo ago
Re-read my post. I may not have said it well, but I'm saying it would have been a CIA op and the perpetrators wouldn't be listed on any sort of ship log.

I see that link doesn't work in voat, but if you copy and paste the link in your browser it will take you to the wiki page. There's an image of some crew members as they pull into Guatemala http://imgur.com/a/UnIQy
cantsleepawink ago
Yes, it would be useful to find a staffing list. I did find this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Crew_members_aboard_the_joint_high_speed_vessel_USNS_Spearhead(JHSV_1)_prepare_to_pull_into_Guatemala_July_21,_2014,_during_Southern_Partnership_Station(SPS)_2014_140721-N-XQ474-177.jpg

Show me the bodies.
This shelter was ripe with abuse, many high ranking names may be involved in the abuse.
If there are bodies you just got rid of all the evidence, IE the building, records, torture chamber, DNA,blood, covers up real cause of death/bruises/rape, and the witnesses of the abuse being the children.
But knowing these people they probably torched the building as a way to close it down and destroy all the evidence of who was involved and what they were doing. They then took the children from the shelter to the shop offshore by helicopter. Also don't think of the kids as people, but weight. Little girls don't weigh alot you could throw a bunch into a helicopter unconscious, and not need multiple trips.
Then once in the ship they can either be organ harvested (see george Webb video) or experimented on, or sold as a slave. What's great about these girls is by saying they died in the fire these girls are basically ghosts, and it also makes them expendable.

God this sounds so familiar. I wonder if I read this exact story before ...,,,

Another Sandy Hook
OrwellKnew ago
Not really. No one died at Sandy Hook. They were fictional persons

I remember the reward helicopter rides, they know how to lure a child for sure
cantsleepawink ago
It has suddenly occurred to me that the helicopter is not just an enticement but a form of transport to yachts or boats offshore ? Well, back to my maritime map.....
153sdsd ago
I see you are one of the good ones, sure they transport them many ways, underground and on Helicopter if they can, keep up the good fight
fogdryer ago
Ok it's slowly coming back Same story different location. Wow
Eastern Europe. Rural orphanage, naval ship near by. I am gonna look thru my finds
153sdsd ago
They try to get rid of the evidence, I bet there are human remains to be found at the premises
