HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY Kristi Noem told a preposterous story demonizing immigrants in high-profile public remarks alongside President Donald Trump and on Fox News last summer, about a cannibal who ate other people and then, on his Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation flight, began to eat himself. At the time, The Intercept was unable to substantiate any part of the tale.

Now, three officials from federal law enforcement agencies — including Noem’s own Department of Homeland Security — with knowledge of the allegations say the entire story was fabricated.

“It is completely false,” said one senior law enforcement official who is familiar with the allegation but not authorized to speak publicly on the subject.

Two other federal law enforcement officials echoed this, telling The Intercept that the claims were ludicrous and that there was no evidence corroborating the story.

Asked for comment, a DHS spokesperson said Noem was simply relaying the claims of an air marshal. “What ‘fabrication’ of the story of the cannibal?” the spokesperson said. “She was told that story on a deportation flight by one of the air marshals.”

more likely, Noem was reading the Trump-Epstein files and is confusing it with the ICE report.

They deported Hannibal Lecter. Even though the president said he was a wonderful man and apparently he died.

This makes more sense if she's trying to gauge the public response to a cannibalism story before some damning Trumpstein evidence on the topic is released.

Was there something about cannibalism? I saw a video of a girl saying they were eating people, but wasn't sure if it was a legit video.

It's an inclusive or though, so I wouldn't bet against noem being a a cannibal at this point.

That right there is the American way. A man tried to overthrow the government, and instead of charging and convicting him for his insurrection, they let him run again.

The democrats had 4 fucking years to take him behind the shed, and instead they stood by and watched as he grabbed hold of power again. It should have been shock and awe. Justice should have been swift, ruthless, and served on pikes.

It was claimed by someone (an Israeli government official I think?) that there's evidence in the files that shows Trump committed cannibalism. I don't necessarily trust the source of the claim at all but I'm also not going to categorically say it's not true. I don't think it's likely but there's been a laundry list of things I would have said are unlikely that keep happening.

Doesn’t matter, because the people they say this stuff to don’t care about anything. They see it reported on whichever right-wing network, and believe it without question. Anyone with half of a brain knows that they cannot trust anything the federal government says anymore. It’s all a big joke.

Yup.

Narcissism, characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and a lack of empathy (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013), has been a hallmark of numerous political leaders throughout history.

The aphorism “power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” (Acton, 1887) encapsulates the relationship between politics and egocentrism. Politicians often seek positions of influence to control resources and shape societal structures, which inherently fosters egocentric behavior.

Politicians often operate with a malleable moral compass, disregarding established norms to achieve their objectives.

Radicalism, defined by uncompromising advocacy for change, is another trait commonly observed in politicians.

Trust issues are another hallmark of political psychology. The adversarial nature of politics necessitates a cautious approach to relationships, fostering an environment of suspicion and guardedness.

Contrary to popular perception, patriotism is not always the driving force behind political decisions. Politicians frequently prioritize economic or geopolitical interests over national welfare.

Ok assuming we find a cannibal, shouldn’t we be locking them up instead of deporting them? They could even try them in a state with the death penalty. I am not sure how she thought this was a win.

Given how everyone involved reacts to power dynamics, I'm certain a bunch of them would be thrilled to tell people they procured some "long pig", and countless others would love a taste of it.

At the same time, I know how deep the grift goes, and I'm sure the providers would happily use raccoon meat instead.

If they had caught a cannibal why would they send them back to their country to be free instead of locking them up so they can't eat anymore people?!?!

That explains why the administration wants Greenland. Noem was told on good authority by her grandpa that Santa lives at the North Pole, and now she wants all the presents! It's a fact, she was told a story!

We've come to learn that every accusation is a confession of some sort, every one, there are no exceptions.

So someone connected to them is a cannibal, that is just true, I didn't make the rules I just follow them.

Anyone have any leads? I know Noem takes off her face and puts it in a jar of adrenochrome every night.

Seriously, I'm not joking, someone connected to them in a high up position is engaging in some kind of cannibalism. Every single accusation is a confession. Maybe peter thiel is now eating some product derived from young virgin boys to make him more youthful? He previously had young boy blood injected into him regularly, so it's a natural progression to him drinking adrenochrome type shit. They accused others of it, so they have something resembling adrenochrome. Every one.

The feds try people in federal court and they do have a death penalty. It was long unused when the bush administration went out of it's way to use it, this administration obviously has furthered that attempted use of it. The idea of executing their falsely convicted before anyone can exonerate them they find attractive.

Clearly though, one of them is a cannibal, so they are accusing others of it first. There is no way between this claim, and the president talking about hannibal lector being great, that a high up with them isn't cannibaling. Probably thiel eating products from young virgin boys. Maybe their glands or sexual organs. Probably bought from Israel now that I think of it.

Nah, one of the rich, eating the unlucky poor. Peter Thiel and his technofascist pals, eating the glands and sexual organs of young men they procured from Israeli sources. The more I think about that the more it makes sense.

You have to understand he's big into shit like that, was getting blood of young boys treated and pumped in his veins to extend his youth for one thing.

Then you have the q thing accusing the opponents of right wing extremism of using adrenochome, something harvested from young kids to extend their own health, which is as good as an admission they are doing something of the kind.

We already know Israel is involved in the illegal organ transplant business, or rather black market I would say, it's not much of a stretch to see it go from there to, these other darker uses of body parts, of which they have no shortage of.

With some help from her government-issued boyfriend. That "face" is really stuck on.

I mean, she's not really put any work into fighting her dog killing story. It's from her book, and considering it predates her role at ice I don't think it's even a topic she's worried about.

Given she freely admitted to shooting a puppy, I wouldn't be surprised if it was her.

So before we miss the point here ...

It is not okay to deport people without due process, even if that person is a cannibal!

Have you looked into some of the darker bits from the Epstein/Trump files? Coded language, but it appears to be in there. So if nothing else, she's probably had conversation with someone in the know prior to the recent releases.

What's the over/under on whether this marshal was just fucking with her?

"Hey Ted, what do you think is the craziest story we can get her to believe?"

Asked for comment, a DHS spokesperson said Noem, much like her boss, is an idiot and was simply relaying the claims of an air marshal. She does not have the cognitive ability to verify information or take things with a grain of salt. “What ‘fabrication’ of the story of the cannibal?” the spokesperson said. “She was told that story on a deportation flight by one of the air marshals and she lapped it up like a cat given a bowl of cream.”

That implies that they were not egocentric before getting into their positions. I think it's rather that this type of position attracts this type of people and that our society is built in a way that rewards antisocial behaviour, as opposed to the position corrupting the person.

And if you understand search engines, you should see why they even made this up.

To push the Donald Trump: Baby Cannibal discussion from the Epstein files to page 2.
