Homeland Security operation offered illicit "sex tourism" trips
The Smoking Gun ^ | 9 Mar 20111

Posted on 03/09/2011 10:23:33 AM PST by mandaladon

In an aggressive bid to entice prospective “sex tourists,” the Department of Homeland Security last year launched an undercover web site that purported to arrange trips from the U.S. to Canada, where clients could engage in sexual activity with minors, The Smoking Gun has learned.

The “Precious Treasure Holiday Company” web site was active until a few weeks ago when its Massachusetts-based web hosting firm removed the site from its servers, apparently in response to a complaint about its content. Now, visitors to precioustreasureholidaycompany.com are greeted with the message, “This site has been suspended.”

After a year online, the DHS undercover site may have fallen victim to its own sleazy, overt come-on. As seen at right, the site’s front page carried three symbols that an FBI intelligence bulletin has identified as being used by pedophiles. Additionally, the site’s acronym, PTHC, is an allusion to “preteen hardcore” pornography. The site’s carefully misspelled motto--“We Help Make Your Fantasy’s Come True!”--also does little to mask its illicit intentions.

An account executive with the hosting firm, who appeared unaware that “Precious Treasure Holiday Company” was a government operation, said that following a site’s suspension an internal investigation is launched. Upon the review’s completion, a site is either reinstated or terminated. The executive, Jason Crawford, added that if a customer’s site is found to contain illicit material like child pornography, the FBI is contacted.

"Makes you wonder about the idiots running DHS."

I stopped wondering when the TSA started groping and taking nudie shots of 9 year olds. I figured it was pretty much safe to draw my conclusions at that point.

Going to Thailand to arrest Americans doing this is already a stretch. Now trying to send them there in order to arrest them is what exactly?

Wait, I'm all mixed up. Is this a sting operation or a Perk for TSA Agents?

That’s my ?. what the H is HLS doing funding an operation that belongs with the FBI.

Maybe it’s time to end the HLS deptartment. They obviously are spending money on this rather than border security.

In the Clinton era it was just called “internship”.

No, it is the intentional forcing of homosexual approval on America through the legal system to change the Christian paradigm (Natural Law Theory and God’s Laws) into the Marxist moral relativism to destroy the concept of God—make the Bible “hate speech” and create the atheist paradigm where man is god and makes up right and wrong.

Cultural Marxists want to promote perversions to destroy the Christian/Jewish religion. They want no sexual restraint. All homosexual societies advocate pederasty...it is a learned behavior and boys have to be perverted at a young age to destroy their moral restraint—destroy Judeo-Christian ideology. (Do a total transformation to the atheism of Marx.) Utopia is no sexual restraint...Brave New World always involves sexualizing children.

Zero is a homosexual as declared by Sinclair and others and having a communist pederast Frank Davis as a “mentor” in his vulnerable boyhood years, he was probably sodomized and enjoyed it because Frank did “love” him.

Zero promotes sex ed in Kindergarten. It is to remove sexual morality from the sex act....to make it meaningless and destroy the natural self-restraint and modesty that is always present in children this age unless molested or abused.

Get you kids out of public schools. They are being conditioned to become little hedonist/atheists. Worldview is everything....Lenin knew that and created day care and schools to indoctrinate. That under Dewey is what our schools are designed to do....indoctrinate into Marxist ideology....look at all the Obamabots—it is what is created when you go through public schools.

Read Eakmans Cloning of the American Mind if you want to understand how our curricula has been contaminated by Marxists for decades.

Why are these unelected "departments" doing anything that they feel like?

How and in what manner are child porn & copyright infringement not part of the duties of existing LEOs and such organizations as the FBI?

Why don't we defund such things?

This is an unconscionable expansion of government and government worker.

Their goal is to grow by creating a blackmail database. They already have millions of TSA photos of naked travelers.

Sex tourism, which is a euphemism for sex with children abroad, is AWFUL.

However, DHS is the wrong agency to be looking for this.

So what was the deal? Did clients get to dress up as TSA agents?
