Trump Demands Amelia Earhart’s Fate Be Revealed

Donald Trump has demanded the release of any classified government files on the missing aviator Amelia Earhart.

Earhart vanished over the Pacific Ocean while endeavouring to become the first female aviator to successfully circumnavigate the world in 1937.

Continued investigations into a possible crash site have continued to keep the narrative alive in the public imagination, but no trace of Earhart has ever been found.

Trump said it’s an ‘interesting story’ that has ‘captivated millions’. He said people have asked him whether he’d consider declassifying and making public everything the government has on her. 

‘She was an aviation pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved numerous other aviation firsts,’ he wrote on his social media site. 

‘She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the world.

‘Amelia made it almost three quarters around the world before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again,’ he continued. 

‘Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her.’

While attempting to become the first female pilot to circle the world, Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, vanished while flying from New Guinea to Howland Island.

She had radioed that she was running low on fuel. The Navy searched but found no trace.

The general view is that Earhart, 39, and Noonan, 44, ran out of fuel and ditched their twin-engine Lockheed Electra in the Pacific near Howland Island while on one of the last legs of their epic voyage. 

The official stance of the United States government has been that Earhart and Noonan perished along with their aircraft.

Since then, speculations have strayed into the ludicrous, such as Earhart residing in New Jersey under a false identity or being kidnapped by aliens.

Others theorise that she and Noonan perished as castaways on an island or were executed by the Japanese.

The newly declassified records, predicted to contain intelligence cables, Navy reconnaissance reports and potential eyewitness accounts, could supply fresh clues and have highlighted continuous steps to unravel the puzzle.

Dr Richard Pettigrew, a seasoned archaeologist, is getting ready to head a high-tech expedition to a Pacific reef where satellite photos seem to reveal a plane wreck that resembles Earhart’s aircraft.

The discovery of Earhart’s Lockheed Electra, if Pettigrew is right, would resolve a question that has baffled experts for the nine decades since she vanished.

But he would also reveal a harsh truth about the tousled-haired heroine’s fate.

He would reveal that Earhart had got lost on her round-the-world flight, ran out of fuel, and landed on a small, desolate island, where she died, hungry and dehydrated, and was eaten by giant crabs.

Whether the US government has any sensitive documents on her disappearance is unknown.

There is no indication Earhart’s activities had any connection to the US security services or federal government in general.

In the past, the president demanded that documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein, a paedophile financier, be made public.

When his own Department of Justice later declined to comply, his request backfired.

A tranche of Epstein files released last month contained a crude drawing of a woman’s body. Trump is said to have drawn Epstein as a birthday present.

The president denied sending it and has sued The Wall Street Journal newspaper, which first reported on the picture.

Trump has also declassified documents pertaining to the murders of Robert F. Kennedy, Sr, John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King during his second administration.

Amelia Earhart was neither a spy nor a double agent, so why in the world would the US government keep confidential data on her?

Nobody is curious about Amelia Earhart’s fate. The majority of people aren’t even aware of her identity because it happened so long ago. Although I doubt any of her relatives are still living, I suppose it would have provided them with closure.
