Sex Tourism: Unanswered Questions In Secret Service Prostitution Scandal
Friends of Ours ^ | 04/16/12 | Friends of Ours

Posted on 04/16/2012 4:40:00 AM PDT by AtlasStalled

The alleged sexcapades by several Secret Service agents while in Colombia in service to President Barack Obama may not just be an embarassment for their country; rather, the objects of their affections may have been exploited against their will, and the investigation into the debaucherous debacle necessarily must include the circumstances by which the involved women found themselves in the meat market.

Legal prostitution in Colombia and other countries has generated a thriving sex tourism industry, and in meeting supply for the demand many women find themselves enslaved in the trade. For example, in Spain where prostitution is legal an estimated ninety percent of the 200,000 to 400,000 working girls in the country are trafficked against their will by crime groups including those from Colombia as reported by Suzanne Daley for The New York Times: "advocates and police officials say that most of the women are controlled by illegal networks — they are modern-day slaves." No doubt the situation is equally gloom, if not more so, for women in Colombia.

Just because prostitution is legal doesn't mean it's consensual.

Moreover, the age of consent is only fourteen in Colombia, and the unfortunate involvement of even younger children in the country's sex trade is pervasive. The Secret Service agents "had their pick of young girls with long, black and brown hair" at the Pley Club in Cartagena according to club employees as reported by the Daily News.

Hopefully, all the working girls at issue chose their profession of their own volition and are at least 18-years-old, but these are among the questions which must be convincingly answered in the ongoing investigation. After all, the Obama Administration insists it cares about women.

I knew the facts in two large stories about 30 years ago. The MSM totally screwed up the story. They went for sensationalism and the facts were largely mis presented. I know it is much worse now. Their saying is “If it bleeds it leads.”

Example: In the 1996 election I personally knocked on the doors of 200 registered voters in Bob Dornan’s congressional district. I discovered that 50% DID NOT EXIST!

I gave interviews to the LA Times and OC Register. I offered to take them to voters registered to high school playgrounds and the homes of people who had lived at the same place for 20+ years yet now had an extra family of “phantom” voters living there. Nope. Not a word about the massive vote fraud that took Bob out.

Both newspapers kept playing up the illegal alien voter angle to try and make Dornan, who marched with Dr. King for civil rights, look like a racist. BTW, we obtained over 700 affidavits from illegals who said they were induced to vote and regretted it.

this “scandal” stinks of a fascist president purging the presidential guard detail of those who do not subscribe to his rascist Utopia politics of tyranny.

My thoughts as well and with each "new revelation" I become more convinced.

I don’t think women are the kind of fun Barry is looking for.

Once you allow same sex marriages, there is no obstacle to polygamy.

Since “ - - - sexcapades by several Secret Service agents while in - - - “ Columbia have been discovered due to refusal to pay a mere 47 USD, it is important for Congress to as the following question:

What have been the “ - - - sexcapades by several Secret Service agents while in - - - “ ALL OF THE COUNTRIES that Obama has visited in the last 3 + years?

BTW, a follow up question might be: “What % of these prostitutes were spies for foreign governments?”

Of all the politicians I have ever met, B-1 Bob was probably the most decent. It was a sad day when Dems took him via massive voter fraud. What was even more sad is that the GOP-e stood by and let it happen without so much as a peep of protest.

Forget the Secret Service and hiring hookers, what about Barack’s Colombian boy toys and his primo “blow” to keep him on top of his game? Paging Reggie Love — where's my stash?

Ok...Thanks, it wasn’t exactly what I thought it might be. Interesting to find out about Ayers though. I hadn’t known that before.

There was a story some time back (may have been a couple of years by now, if not more), where Rush was en route to a vacation in the West Indies, when a airport security person ransacked his luggage, found some Viagra, and made sure it got a lot of publicity in the media.

I prefer ideologues to professional pols.

Ideologues never change their minds because of polling data and contributions!

That said, Bob could sometimes be an abrasive loose cannon. That is part of why the pubbies did not try to rescue him.

My hypothesis is that the Obama campaign is purging a bunch of agents who are not “reliable” and who might talk or leak damaging material in the upcoming election. Most of them are probably married, so the blackmail is doubly effective.

I thought that he's probably already purged all those who aren't "reliable" and this is just the way his replacements typically act.

The MSM is a huge, lying propaganda machine.

That should have been painfully obvious after the '92 election campaign, when they enthusiastically trumpeted the lie of "Worst Economy In 50 Years", when it clearly had been far worse a mere 12 years earlier during the dying days of the Carter administration.

Interesting find this morning: my nephew looked up information concerning the poltical affiliation of all the SS agents caught in this embroglio. They are all Republican or conservative in some way, according to the site he visited.

After announcing his discovery I advised him to go back and burn a copy. It had been scrubbed.
