United States Attorney's Office: District of Massachusetts: Three Arrested for Operating High-End Brothel Network ___ code: Customers were required to verify their identities by sharing their Driver’s Licenses…Politicians, pharma execs, military officers, & gov’t contractors w/ security clearance numbered among the clientele lol  Screenshots from the Virginia website the 3 men arrested & accused w/ organizing the prostitution ring have been using as a scheduler. “BEG” lol. It literally just has a disclaimer, a menu w/ a handful of sex worker handles (haven’t clicked on those, ofc), & a number to call. [I'm cutting out some of the screenshots from the twitter thread because of the salacious nature of the photos that don't really add onto the news - if you really need to see them, go through the thread] As for the Midnight Climax resonance, I will also point out that one of the accused architects of this prostitution ring was just apprehended in Torrance, CA… OP MC was famously run outta Boston w/ safe houses in CA & NYC  20 of the high society clients have cooperated w/ authorities so far. They’ve got the kompromat hatchet over their heads now…the capitalist class ties that bind. They’ll always be willing collaborators. Apparently the initial complaint came from a Dept of Homeland Security agent All 3 of the accused are Korean. It’s v possible this was a sex blackmail network operated by foreign intel, ofc (could have been run clandestinely or in collab w/ American counterparts). Either way, there are apparently 100s of easily-blackmailed powerful ppl caught up in this.

quote:US Atty. for MA prob just inadvertently busted Operation Midnight Climax's kid sister. that's a big jump. we know about midnight climax because it was part of the MKULTRA programs, not because of the possible sexual blackmail. Using that name seems like it's more likely to confuse people rather than clarify. A sexual blackmail ring aimed at wealthy and powerful people being prosecuted in a US court is notable enough. also, how do they know it's inadvertent on the part of Justice Department? Maybe this ring got dismantled because the people who set up it were playing at a higher level than they were ready for. The Massachusetts US Attonery's office has had some weird scandals in recent months too. https://apnews.com/article/massachusetts-us-attorney-rachael-rollins-justice-department-7ff37567c0d8f7e906ffd1f609a404f3 https://apnews.com/article/rachael-rollins-massachusetts-us-attorney-resigns-42f9111ea4aedbcc6a1ba9f6313cfe6e

"Erich Wollweber was one of the sailors whose mutiny was the spark of the German revolution of 1918. He was the military leader of the communist uprising of May 1923 in Bochum, and then in charge of the “West Büro” in the Komintern. He headed the clandestine apparatus of the International Seamen’s and Dockers’ International (Internationale der Seeleute und Hafenarbeiter or ISH), founded in 1930 in Hamburg by the Profintern—the Red Trade Union International. Established in 22 countries and 19 colonies, the ISH was led by Albert Walter, who was arrested the night the Reichstag was burned down and assassinated by the Nazis. The Wollweber organization carried out sabotage before and during the war, either on goods transported by Axis ships or on the ships themselves. The organization was mainly based in Germany, Scandinavia, Dunkirk, Le Havre, Rotterdam and Antwerp. The Wollweber organization’s Antwerp group sank the Italian freighter Boccacio in November 1937, and in June 1938 set fire to the Japanese freighter Kasji Maru, which was on its way to Franco’s Spain. When the Nazis invaded Belgium, it was the files of the Belgian police that allowed the Gestapo to arrest, torture and murder Antwerp dockers of the Wollweber organization. The Belgian police transmitted its information to the Gestapo before the war within the framework of Interpol (from 1938 to 1945, SS generals presided over Interpol). The Commissioner General of the Belgian Judicial Police responsible for this collaboration, Florent Louwage, was the Belgian delegate at the Interpol headquarters in Berlin during the war, and after the war... president of Interpol." 🇧🇪 La Résistance communiste allemande 1933-1945,

here's an article by a resident poster that i enjoyed. Not sure if its been posted before it is worth a read. https://daniel-ed-morrison.medium.com/the-whole-history-of-weaponised-unreality-1c2f987bcbed It tackles the evolution of digital propaganda via the virility of memes, with a particular focus on the right wing that led to trump getting elected.

Pathologizing 2016 when it really is a matter of like, hillary really was so unlikeable that trump was able to beat her in the states that mattered. The conclusion liberals learned seems to be that even facade democracy is too much and we should just do the fascism our way lol
