Politicians, Military Officers Involved in Busted 'High-End' Brothel Network | CLIP | Crossroads

[Music] [Applause] good evening and welcome to Crossroads a high-end prostitution ring was uncovered and the case is now Turning Heads because the clients in the case are and the odd requirements as well that they were required to follow now the justice department announced yesterday that it arrested three individuals for allegedly running a network of high-end broth aimed at high-end clients now the prostitutes were mainly Asian as were the people running the operation details on the clients are still slim but they're broadly described by the justice department as including elected officials Military Officers government contractors with security clearan clearances and others along those lines and interestingly if these high-end clients wanted to purchase prostitutes they had to give the network their full names an email address phone number their employer and a reference if they had one now of course the reason for the ca the case is getting brought attention right now is not because a prostitution ring was busted look in New York right now there's even open prostitution it's unfortunately so common right now that they don't even try to hide it the reason people care about this case is because of the types of clients it had and suspicions may have something to do with Espionage what are known as honey traps now part of that would be the use of prostitution for blackmail the other would be the use of prostitutes to you have spies gain access to people in key positions maybe a high level official looking for a girlfriend or maybe an individual with security clearances who would let a woman access some of those key documents without a doubt though the case had some very odd traits that should raise some suspicions the clientele would be in the targeted category for a spy operation like this and it does seem odd that the clients had to give their names of their employers and give personal information on that level now look normally you'd think criminals would shy away from documenting their clients like that you'd imagine they want to keep their books mostly empty given that keeping records of these types creates a paper trail that could incriminate them which now are incriminating them it raises some real questions on why they were doing those things now in my person person Al opinion an easy comparison would be say a high-end escort dating service while they're generally understood as being services for prostitutes they maintain normally a system of plausible deniability so it's fair to ask why this network chose to operate so differently still again it's all speculation at this point the three individuals being charged they're facing charges of conspiracy to coerce and entice to travel to engage in illegal sexual activity that carries a penalty of up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 now there were rumors this could be a Chinese spiring in fact I saw a lot of places covering it like that going by the available documents though it does not look like there are any China ties it does appear at least that two of the individuals were were from Korea although it's not clear what their ethnicity was now of course this does not necessarily end all possibilities that it might have been tied to China somehow but again none of the available evidence has anything on that but regardless it remains very interesting given who the clients were and the affidavit leaves things open that some of them may be charged in the future this was a ring that included politicians business Executives and people along that social strata it states these individuals are not being withheld from the public to protect them in terms of their identities but instead because the investigation into their involvement is quote active and ongoing in other words we're likely going to hear more about this CRI criminal Network in the future now in other news one of the major narratives used to drive woke censorship is now being exposed as yet another case of fake moralism this of course has to do with Israel and Palestine and most importantly that it seems we're now watching a way of anti a wave of anti-Semitism and pro terrorist rhetoric coming from the political left now let's start by having a look back in the past let's go back last year and the year before now look until very recently we were being told that hate was on the rise in America NPR reported in December last year that quote high-profile entertainers and athletes have openly spouted anti-semitic tropes it claimed that former president Donald Trump dying recently with outspoken Holocaust den and the Texas Tribune claimed that an alleged surge in anti-Semitism was a precursor to Fascism and this was framed as a problem for the political right a concerning Trend that growing hate in America could bring a new form of totalitarian Fascism and possibly even lead to some types of violence now there were waves of criticism you might remember against ye former known as Kanye West now that was after being criticizing Jews on social media and in News interviews now Kanye was actually locked out of his Twitter account CNN reported that Corporate America was cancelling Kanye West and that Brands were dropping him as fast as they could celebrities came out to criticize him it seemed the whole establishment was on board with fighting against this anti-semitic comments and it got even worse in October a group of six people hung three banners over a freeway in Los Angeles one of them said Kanye is right about the Jews and that six-man protest Drew criticism throughout the entire nation the office of California governor Gavin new released a statement on the banners saying this this weekend's anti-semitic protests in La were discussed Ing and cannot be normalized or brushed aside words matter and in California will all will always speak out against racial ethnic and religious hate when it rears its ugly head the White House Press Secretary posted a statement along those same lines saying that Biden quote ran to heal the soul of the nation after years of hate and Division and as part of the healing she says we need to call out anti-Semitism everywhere it rears its ugly head President Biden even took action to form an inter Agency Group in December 2022 to counter what was framed as anti-Semitism islamophobia and related forms of bias and discrimination within the United States now that group which is actually created now is led by staff in the domestic policy Council and the National Security Council and it coordinates with the US government on these operations now its first job as stated last year according to a White House announcement was to quote develop a national strategy to counter anti-Semitism and that included new tools to address anti-semitic harassment and abuse both online and offline and to encourage what it referred to as a quote Whole of society effort to counter anti-Semitism and build a more inclusive Nation
