What is the Alaska Triangle, where 20,000+ people have disappeared and never been found
The Alaska Triangle, encompassing Anchorage, Juneau, and Utqiagvik, has seen over 20,000 disappearances since the 1970s. The region gained attention in 1972 when a plane carrying two US politicians vanished. Explanations for these disappearances range from unusual magnetic activity to natural dangers in the rugged wilderness. The area remains a source of intrigue and speculation.

Not just remote villages, but disappearances from hotels and cities are common, in a state that persistently hires gun-grabbing criminals as cops, who consequently “enforce” anything and everything they want for their own pleasure except for the law itself.

The same hotel uses a common hotel vice practice of arbitarily “trespassing” guests and calling police when no other crime is even alleged to have been committed.

Hotels in Anchorage and Fairbanks, namely the two major cities on the public highway system in Alaska, have acquired a reputation as centers of excessive and unwarranted police presence, murder, arson and rape, assuming that prostitution is legally considered to be rape. Namely the police officers with a ticket book and a misdemeanor arrest quota on an hourly wage have little or no interest investigating or prosecuting actual serious crimes.

Actual “felony” prosecutions are rare except for misdemeanors that have been reclassified or upcharged as felonies because it’s generally much easier for cops simply to claim defendants are mentally ill in court with no evidence at all, revoking their civil rights for life and essentially placing them under unofficial or “off-the-books” probation or parole with frequent “wellness check” visits by police along with many, many other extra-legal and extra-judicial punishments inflicted on targeted individuals while the cops themselves live lives of pleasure and vice.
