IMG source - nypost.com - Rep. Eric Swalwell and 'Fang Fang', the spy that shagged him.
Just in case anyone thought Epstein and Mossad were the whole story, VNN reports a multinational cooperative scheme to spy on American officials with a string of brothels.
"Members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors who ‘possessed security clearances’ were among the steady customers at the ‘high-end brothels’ run by the ring, prosecutors say.
"The ring’s clients, who paid rates of up to $600 an hour, included corporate executives, professors, lawyers, and scientists.
"The officials were required to hand over a trove of personal information, including bank records, employer information, credit card information, email and phone contacts, and a government-issued ID to be added to the clientele list, which they usually provided “without blinking an eye.”
"...idiots like this would be pure gold for an intelligence service running a honeypot..."
"The six brothels that comprised the sex ring were headed by a 41-year-old South Korean woman..."
While all principals involved in owning and managing the brothels appear to be S. Korean immigrants and naturalized US citizens, apparently investigators believe China to be behind the scheme. Fortunately, "...Sexy Schu, Venus, Tina, YokoDDD and Tiffany..." appear to have been all over the age of majority, and the DC and Boston area brothels seem to have only made ~$1M, which isn't much compared to the Epstein take.
All of this goes to show that the foxes guarding the henhouse are the folks we should be surveilling, not the geese laying golden eggs. Some while ago facial recognition software was released that enabled folks to compare images and identify people using assumed identities. Seems to me that this software could be easily adapted by homeowners like me that have their own camera and DVR systems to compare persons of interest, loiterers, customers of the local crack house (or brothel), with mug shots, spooks, and corporate executives so we can know what scumbags are malingering, and maybe even head off trouble they're up to.
Instead of involving corporations, cops, or other criminals, neighborhood watch should be availed of this capability. I have no doubt a lot of the shenanigans good people are afflicted with by flash mobs, gangs, and mostly peaceful protestors would be headed off at the pass.
Don't think it would cost much to put something together, as most of the parts necessary are already in the wild. Thoughts?
