Police: Woman believed to be 'D.C. madam' kills herself

BY HELEN KENNEDY
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Deborah Jeane Palfrey arriving at court in Washington, D.C. on April 30, 2007. She was later convicted of running a high-end prostitution ring. Thursday she was found dead.

The so-called DC Madam, who was convicted two weeks ago of running a high-priced call girl ring out of the nation's capitol, killed herself today at her mother's house in Florida.

Deborah Jean Palfrey, 52, was free on bail, pending a sentencing hearing July 24.

She was found guilty April 15 of money laundering and racketeering for sending escorts to Washington hotels and apartments to indulge her customers' fantasies.

Police in Tarpon Springs, Fla. reported finding her body in a storage shed near her mother's mobile home at the Sun Valley Estates trailer park.

Foul play does not appear to be involved.

The St. Petersburg Times reported cops found a handwritten suicide note.

Palfrey's lawyer, Preston Burton, did not immediately return calls.

Palfrey, who did business under the name Pamela Martin and Associates, caused a ruckus last year when she threatened to reveal the contents of her little black book, promising to expose clients "from the more refined walks of life."

At one point, she vowed to sell the information to pay for her defense.

But the only well-known name to surface was that of married Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), whose number turned up in Palfrey's phone records, which she posted on her website.

Vitter apologized for "a very serious sin in my past," refused to answer any questions and managed to keep his seat.

Palfrey ran her business by phone from her California home.

She employed about 132 women between 1993 and 2006, and over that time grossed about $2 million, which she split with her escorts.

At her lengthy trial, she denied her escorts engaged in prostitution, saying that if the women had sex for money, they did so without her knowledge.

Her lawyer, Burton, compared Palfrey to a cab dispatcher who shouldn't be penalized for "the route the cab driver took."

Federal prosecutor Daniel Butler countered: "When a man agrees to pay $250 for 90 minutes with a woman, what do most men expect in that time? In that context, it's pretty clear. Most men want sex."

Burton had said Palfrey planned to file an appeal.

Tarpon Springs is a scenic tourist village on the Gulf of Mexico famous for its Greek restaurants and sponge-fishing docks.

DC Madam Predicted She Would Be Suicided

Paul Joseph Watson

Prison Planet

Thursday, May 1, 2008

DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey predicted she would be "suicided" on several occasions both recently and as far back as 17 years ago - comments that now appear ominous in light of the announcement that the former head of a Washington escort service allegedly killed herself today.




"If taken into custody, my physical safety and most probably my very life would be jeopardized," she wrote in August 1991 following an attempt to bring her to trial, "Rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," said Palfrey in a handwritten letter to the judge accusing the San Diego police vice squad of having a vendetta against her.

During several recent appearances on The Alex Jones Show, Palfrey also said that she was at risk of being killed and that authorities would make it look like suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal and if she was found dead it would be murder.

Palfrey had threatened to release the names of well-known clients of her upscale call girl ring in the nation’s capitol, and had indicated that Dick Cheney may be one of them.

"No I’m not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show on her last appearance, "I’m planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.

Accused D.C. madam: Britton worked for her


May 7, 2007 3:00 AM (360 days ago) by Luke Broadwater, The Examiner


WASHINGTON (Map, News) - A woman accused of running a Washington-area prostitution ring says former University of Maryland professor Brandy Britton worked for her.

Britton told The Examiner before her death that she previously worked for an escort service called East Coast Elites, but she never mentioned Deborah Jeane Palfrey or her firm, Pamela Martin & Associates, during a series of interviews with this newspaper.

Palfrey revealed the details of what she contends was a legal escort service on the ABC newsmagazine “20/20” on Friday night, claiming Britton was an employee.

“She wasn’t making enough money, so she decided to do a little moonlighting,” Palfrey said.

Britton committed suicide in January, days before she was scheduled to stand trial on prostitution charges and be evicted from her $600,000 Ellicott City home. She faced up to a year in prison on each count, but Howard County prosecutors said that if convicted, she likely wouldn’t have served any time.

Britton’s Howard County police file makes no mention of Palfrey or her escort service. Police said Britton was working alone when arrested in January 2006, and they have not connected her case to Palfrey.

After Britton’s death, the Howard County police turned more than 186 pages of their investigative file into Britton’s alleged criminal activities to The Examiner, including client lists dating from Nov. 16, 2005, to Jan. 8, 2006.

Although Britton said her clients included “police, lawyers and judges,” her notes don’t appear to include the names of prominent people. They contain many partial names and code names, including notes for appointments with men identified only as “Robert,” “Bernard” and “David.” Next to their names, she sometimes wrote the callers’ purported occupations, such as “Dr.” or “Accountant.”

Britton was a former assistant professor of sociology and anthropology at University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She resigned in 1999.

Police said in 2006 that Britton had turned to prostitution.

Britton operated a Web site called Alexisangel.com that stated she charged a minimum of $300 an hour for modeling and companionship, police said.

In her last interview, Britton denied she was anything more than a high-end escort whose customers paid for companionship that would not necessarily lead to sex.

“I thought I would hate the job, and I’d just have to do it,” she said. “But I really liked it, and I made some really good friends, and I like men more than I ever did before. It’s a long story, but as a feminist it made me see things differently. They love their families and their kids. They’re good guys that really love their wives.”

Palfrey Considered Call Girl's "Suicide" Possible Murder

DC Madam employee also found hanged despite family's insistence she was upbeat, positive[/i]

Paul Joseph Watson

Prison Planet

Thursday, May 1, 2008

DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who was found hanged today in what authorities claim was a "suicide," not only asserted that she would never commit suicide, but also thought the alleged suicide of one of her former call girls was possibly murder.

Brandy Britton was an employee of Palfrey before the D.C. Madam's prostitution ring was busted. She was found hanged after allegedly committing suicide in January 2007 days before she was set to go to trial.

Asked if the suicide was in fact murder, Palfrey told the Alex Jones Show in July last year, "Well we don't know about that, there's two schools of thought - one says yes one says no,"

Asked what the circumstances were that made people question the alleged "suicide" of her former call girl, Palfrey responded, "People say that she was a very upbeat person, a very positive person that she was going into court, she was ready to fight them, that she absolutely was not going to give in and all of a sudden a few days before she was to go to trial she committed suicide and her family members and friends say this was extremely abnormal."

(Article continues below)

"She was not in a frame of mind to commit suicide, you know perhaps she knew something, there's been a lot of speculation about that," said Palfrey, "She had very little to lose, she wasn't going to go to jail, she'd been charged on a prostitution case," added Palfrey, noting that individuals involved in the call girl scandal possibly thought Britton was about to name names.


Brandy Britton.

According to a Post Chronicle report, Palfrey and Britton's alleged "suicides" bear similar hallmarks.

During several recent appearances on The Alex Jones Show, Palfrey conceded that she was at risk of being killed and that authorities would make it look like suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal and if she was found dead it would be murder.

"No I'm not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show on her last appearance in March, "I'm planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.

"Blanche Palfrey had no sign that her daughter was suicidal, and there was no immediate indication that alcohol or drugs were involved, police Capt. Jeffrey Young said," according to an AP report.

But wait, the inexplicable DC Madam suicides/murders mystery doesn't end there. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Luna (as mentioned in the Fox clip) was maliciously and brutally stabbed thirty six times and the FBI of course suggested that it was a suicide (no such thing as murder anymore it seems), even while the undertaker and coroner disagreed. The case remains unsolved.

'Madam' eager to name names

Palfrey believes it's no accident that, after escaping prosecution for many years, the feds are coming after her.

Her conspiracy theories weave together "9/11 Arab connections," Baltimore police scandals and the unsolved murder of federal prosecutor Jonathan Luna.

www.mensvogue.com/business/articles/2007/04/jonathan_luna


Criminal Treatment

In 2003, U.S. prosecutor Jonathan Luna was mysteriously murdered, leaving behind a wife, two sons, and a thousand questions. Now the Senate is investigating why the feds—who lock up terrorists, rapists, and serial killers—haven't solved the murder of one of their own.

The rare murder of a federal prosecutor—like the killing of a cop or an FBI agent—usually generates an around-the-clock investigation that doesn't end until the feds get their man. But in the weeks that followed Luna's death, the fiery vows of justice from then attorney general John Ashcroft—and the prominent coverage in The Washington Post and The Baltmore Sun—gave way to a perfect storm of finger-pointing, dubious suicide theories, and bureaucratic incompetence by the FBI and U.S. attorney's Maryland office, both of which were jurisdictionally responsible for solving the crime. Ironically, his own death is exactly the type of case in which Luna, were he still alive, might have delivered swift justice, but now, three and a half years later, it has become one of the most disturbing unsolved murders in almost half a century.

Luna stabbed in back, his
hands and scrotum slashed

The federal prosecutor's scrotum was slashed open, but it didn't appear to be a clean slash. Luna's scrotum looked as if his assailant had been 'working on it'

In a newly published interview, the undertaker who prepared Jonathan Luna's body for burial vividly describes the wounds suffered by the federal prosecutor. "I've seen lots of murders, but this was definitely the worst one I've ever seen," says Baltimore-area mortician Kim Schlanger MacLeod. The exclusive interview appears in the new edition of Bill Keisling's book The Midnight Ride of Jonathan Luna.

Luna's wounds included stabs on his back, MacLeod recounts. Turning to illustrate the wounds, she placed her finger slightly below the middle of her back, off to one side. "There were stab wounds, here, in the middle of his back, slightly below the shoulder blades, and also around the shoulder blades," she said.

MacLeod recounted that Jonathan's hands had been "shredded."

"There were long cuts between all the fingers, and cuts to the front and back of each hand." These deep cuts were like slicing razor wounds to his hands, peeling away the skin around his fingers, at places cutting to the bone, indicative of someone having slashed at Jonathan savagely with a knife, she said. To demonstrate, she held her hands up and out as if to block repeated downward slashes from a knife.

"They were clearly defensive wounds," to Luna's hands, she said. Jonathan had been cut savagely trying to fend off his attacker.

"I tried to sew them (Luna's hands) up as best I could but we had to put gloves on for the viewing," she explained.

MacLeod said the federal prosecutor's neck had been slashed open on his right side, and all the way around his throat. She drew her finger along the underside of her neck. She should know, she said. "I was the one who sewed him up."

Luna's longtime friend, Dan Rivera, also says Luna’s hands had been covered with gloves in his casket, and that a long slash wound to Luna's neck was clearly visible.

Had Luna's genitals been cut? Keisling asked undertaker MacLeod.

"It was his scrotum," she said. The federal prosecutor's scrotum had been slashed open, she said, but it didn't appear to be a clean slash. Luna's scrotum looked as if his assailant had been "working on it," she said.

It's a most fascinating "true crime" of the day, assuming that there was a crime. At least a crime of murder because in this missive I hone all of my speculating skills to arrive at a scenario that makes sense of the strange death of Jonathan P. Luna, assistant US district attorney. Who was found dead in a small creek in Pennsylvania, bleeding from 36 stab wounds until the creek waters filled his lungs.

What happened to Luna the night of 12/3/03 that had him driving the Delaware/Pennsylvania Interstate for over four hours? Was anyone with him that night? Who killed Jonathan Luna, and why?

There's no answers even now, a year after his strange death. For now we must speculate. And so I do.

Much of the mystery remains because of the closed mouths of the investigators. As of this date, the FBI hints Luna committed suicide. The PA Coroner declares Luna's death a homicide. Whatever the case, and I do have an opinion should anyone be surprised, more on this later, Jonathan Luna died the strangest death of most any human on the planet.

For he had been stabbed 36 times, mostly shallow cuts. His body was found, face down, in the muddy waters of a small creek in Amish Pennsylvania. His death appears to have been from drowning, with the unstated supposition that had he not been in the creek he would have eventually bled out from his wounds.

A top Pennsylvania state government security contractor arrested on prostitution charges may have violated the terms of his state security contracts by allegedly attempting to consort with a prostitute. If found guilty, he potentially stands to lose millions of dollars in state contracts, state records show.

Russell Wantz, one of the Rendell administration's top security contractors, was arrested in a police prostitution sting in suburban Harrisburg, PA, on December 10, 2007. He was charged with criminal attempt to patronize a prostitute, a misdemeanor.

In a federal court filing that reached Yardbird Books July 20, 2006, Russell Wantz, owner of the Schaad Detective Agency, of York, PA, has asked federal Judge Mary D. France for an injunction "permanently enjoining (Keisling and Yardbird Books) from selling or otherwise circulating The Midnight Ride of Jonathan Luna."

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Luna was found drowned and stabbed 36 times in December, 2003, about a half mile from a Pennsylvania Turnpike access road. Wantz and the Schaad Detective Agency provide security for several state agencies, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and the PA Liquor Control Board. A growing number of citizens and public officials have questioned the quality of turnpike security.

In The Midnight Ride of Jonathan Luna, Keisling wrote that the York, PA, police commissioner, and the current city controller of York, PA, arranged a meeting with an agent from the U.S. Department of Justice, asking for an investigation of Wantz and others, related to an ongoing corruption and prostitution scandal centered in the York County, PA, courthouse. In December, 2004, state Rep. Mark Cohen (D-Philadelphia) asked the state police to investigate Russell Wantz.

The Washington Madam case also involves criminal conspiracy and malfeasance within the Justice Department, Internal Revenue Service, and Postal Inspection Service. Palfrey's case file was not opened until June 2004 after she had been in business for over a decade without any pressure from the government. After Baltimore Police Commissioner and later Maryland State Police Superintendent Ed Norris was charged in May 2004 with three criminal counts by US Attorney Thomas DiBiagio, the IRS opened a file on Palfrey the following month. It is clear that with Norris, a 20 year veteran of the New York Police Department, facing up to 30 years in prison, he entered into a plea bargain with DiBiagio. In return for his cooperation, which included Norris naming Pamela Martin as one of the recipients of Baltimore Police supplemental accounts money, he got six months in prison and six months home detention. Norris now hosts a radio show in Baltimore.

DiBiagio's assistant US Attorney Jonathan Luna, who once worked at the Brooklyn District Attorneys' office when a probe was being conducted of both Norris and his friend, former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, was on to Norris' corruption in Baltimore. Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley appointed Norris as police commissioner but soon became disenchanted with his performance. After his relection as Governor in 2002, Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich appointed Norris as Maryland State Police Superintendent. Luna was brutally murdered near the Pennsylvania Turnpike in December 2003.

Bernard Kerik of course was Giuliani's appointed police commissioner WITH MOB TIES.

In both cases of the call girls deaths, it was right after they had publicly declared that they were going to completely blow the lid off the story. Palfrey should have revealed everything that she knew right away.

The Franklin Coverup Scandal The Child sex ring that reached Bush/Reagan Whitehouse

In May 94 the Discovery Channel was Pressured by Congress Not to Air this Video-The child Sex Ring That Reached Bush SR at the Whitehouse and the linkage of Franklin to some of this country’s top politicians in Washington, and in the US Congress, with particular attention on those who attended parties held by Larry King at his Washington mansion on Embassy Row and are secretly being continued today by and through the CIA.

The story involves children from orphanages in Nebraska being flown around the United States by top Republican officials in order to engage in child sex orgies with America's ruling elite. It is a fact that during the 1980's, child sexual services were provided by top Republican officials to key, bureaucrats and diplomats but most importantly, there is a chilling proximity of all of these events and personalities, to the President of the United States at the time, George H.W. Bush. And there have been victims who claim that the President himself engaged in the activities. It is a tale of child sex, murder, espionage, blackmail, and huge payoffs. And all the players are involved. From the White House to the CIA to the media barrons to the Republican elite - right down to the orphanages where they procured their victims.

This was the biggest scandal in the history of the U.S.A history. The story received some newspaper coverage but there was a TV News Media blackout on the subject. For this reason, most Americans have never heard of it.

Former republican Senator John Decamp was involved in the production a documentary called "Conspiracy of Silence" it was to air May 3, 1994 on the Discovery Channel. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired.

Dyncorp and Halliburton Sex Slave Scandal Won't Go Away
Halliburton, Dyncorp lobbyists stall law banning human trafficking and sex slavery

Almost a year after Representative Cynthia McKinney was told by Donald Rumsfeld that it was not the policy of the Bush administration to reward companies that engage in human trafficking with government contracts, the scandal continues to sweep up innocent children who are sold into a life of slavery at the behest of Halliburton subsidiaries , Dyncorp and other transnational corporations with close ties to the establishment elite.

On March 11th 2005, McKinney grilled Secretary Rumsfeld and General Myers on the Dyncorp scandal.

"Mr. Secretary, I watched President Bush deliver a moving speech at the United Nations in September 2003, in which he mentioned the crisis of the sex trade. The President called for the punishment of those involved in this horrible business. But at the very moment of that speech, DynCorp was exposed for having been involved in the buying and selling of young women and children. While all of this was going on, DynCorp kept the Pentagon contract to administer the smallpox and anthrax vaccines, and is now working on a plague vaccine through the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program. Mr. Secretary, is it [the] policy of the U.S. Government to reward companies that traffic in women and little girls?"

The response and McKinney's comeback was as follows.

Rumsfeld: "Thank you, Representative. First, the answer to your first question is, is, no, absolutely not, the policy of the United States Government is clear, unambiguous, and opposed to the activities that you described. The second question."

McKinney: "Well how do you explain the fact that DynCorp and its successor companies have received and continue to receive government contracts?"

Rumsfeld: "I would have to go and find the facts, but there are laws and rules and regulations with respect to government contracts, and there are times that corporations do things they should not do, in which case they tend to be suspended for some period; there are times then that the - under the laws and the rules and regulations for the - passed by the Congress and implemented by the Executive branch - that corporations can get off of - out of the penalty box if you will, and be permitted to engage in contracts with the government. They're generally not barred in perpetuity."

McKinney: "This contract - this company - was never in the penalty box."

Rumsfeld: "I'm advised by DR. Chu that it was not the corporation that was engaged in the activities you characterized but I'm told it was an employee of the corporation, and it was some years ago in the Balkans that that took place."

Watch the video here.

Rumsfeld's effort to shift the blame away from the hierarchy at Dyncorp and onto the Dyncorp employees was a blatant attempt to hide the fact that human trafficking and sex slavery is a practice condoned by companies like Dyncorp and Halliburton subsidiaries like KBR.

What else are we to assume in light of recent revelations cited in the Chicago Tribune that Halliburton subsidiary KBR and Dyncorp lobbyists are working in tandem with the Pentagon to stall legislation that would specifically ban trafficking in humans for forced labor and prostitution by U.S. contractors?

Politicians are a bunch of sleazeballs and perverts, especially the "Family Values" Republicans.

Reminds me of in the 40s and 50s, all the Republicans were yelling "Commie, Commie" at every antiwar and union advocate. It turned out that the same people were bringing in Nazis to prominent positions of power.

Bill O’reilly is the epitome of that notion. In his mind, all of the depraved sexual behavior and youth promiscuity in today’s society is the fault of the Godless and moral lacking secular progressives. He continues to maintain this position even in light of the fact that he was previously exposed for sexually harassing a female Fox employee in the most perverse of manners. Who does he think he’s kidding? And yet millions of conservative viewers still seek his advice for guidance on culture issues. There’s even an O’reilly Factor book meant just for kids! It’s a total joke!

Then on the other hand you have the prudish, sexually repressed Christian conservatives who project their self-made misery on to everyone else. Glenn Beck tonight was sounding the alarm of panic over co-ed dorm rooms of all things. To him this was the end of the world. Someone even invented a new term for it, “dormcest” whatever that means. This type of fabricated social hysteria is so uncalled for. As I was watching the segment it became clear to me that Beck was probably really only concerned about his own daughters who apparently he doesn’t trust? That’s what I meant by projecting. Of course kids like that are going to rebel because they don’t feel that they can talk to their parents about anything without getting a lecture and a guilt trip. They’re taught to be anything other than human God forbid. Look at the out of control Bush twins. Girls that are told to wait until marriage before having vaginal intercourse just end up taking it in the ass. Hormone raging teens are going to find ways to satisfy their carnal instincts. If not, you end up seeking sexual partners in bathroom stalls at some point. It's so unhealthy.

[Swamp Gas]

Basically, these older prudes missed the 60s, and are passing these repressed morals to a younger generation of insane Republicans. This is why they have to have sex in men's rooms, and preachers that pat hookers to undress in front of them, not to mention sex with under age boys.

It is definitely fascism when it happens to you

WMR -- In Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff's world of an "Israelized" America, the terms SPOT (Screening Passengers by Observation Technique) and BDO (Behavior Detection Officer) are the new acronyms of Stasi-like control of the American citizenry by a government that treats anyone as a suspicious person in the same manner that Israel mistreats its own Arab citizens and Palestinians.

Sunday, this editor and his colleague faced the Chertoffian menace at Washington's Reagan National Airport while heading to the gate to board a flight to Houston.

It is now clear from a review of the events that unfolded that I was pre-selected for an intensive search and battery of questions even before arriving in line for the security screening. A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screener was overheard saying, "the guy with the beard." Since I was the only person in line who also had a beard, it was evident that a red flag had earlier been raised.

What followed, was worse than anything I had previously encountered while leaving Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport, itself a revolting display of ingratitude to citizens of the country that bankrolls Israel, or the Israeli-run screening process at Amsterdam's Schipol Airport.

First, I was instructed to enter a glass isolation chamber and point out my belongings that were exiting the X-ray machine. Anyone with claustrophobia would really enjoy being placed in such a chamber and have to speak to the screener through small holes in the glass.

I was then led to an area where all my carry-on bags were emptied. I was also forced to empty my pockets of everything. A bevy of screeners then proceeded to go through my wallet examining everything: cash, credit cards, VA medical benefits card, National Press Club card, voter's registration card, and driver's license. Then came an examination of my press credentials and related IDs: Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) card, Society of Professional Journalists card, National Archives research card, Library of Congress card, three press credentials, and membership card in Association for Intelligence Officers (AFIO).

In a blatant violation of the First and Fourth Amendments, my reporter's notebooks, containing names of contacts in Houston and around the world were paged through by the screeners. Another screener asked if I minded being probed in "certain private areas." He then asked if I'd like the examination to be conducted in private. I replied, "No, let everyone see this." He then proceeded to examine my groin area.

Then came the battery of questions.

1. Are you feeling okay?

2. Where are you going today?

3. How long will you be there?

4. Why are you going there?

5. What story are you covering/

6. Who do you write for?

7. When did you move to Washington?

8. Where did you live before that?

9. What did you do for a living before?

10. Who was the most famous person you ever met?

11. What was the most famous event you ever covered?

12. What type of things do you write about?

13. What type of politics do you cover?

14. What is your place of birth?

My colleague, who had successfully passed through screening and was waiting for me, was then asked to step into the holding area so she "could see and hear what was going on." It was a ruse. She was also subjected to a full carry-on bag examination, frisking, and a series of personal questions:

1, Are you with him?

2. Where are you going?

3. What is the purpose of your visit?

4. What story are you investigating?

5. How long were you in the US Air Force?

6. Where were you stationed overseas?

7. Why were you not overseas in the military?

8. When are you returning?

9. Who do you work for?

10. What is an independent journalist?

11. How long have you been working with him?

12. Do you find your job fulfilling?

13. What is your place of birth?

After this Gestapo-like of questioning, I was told that a TSA screener was writing details in a notebook for the "paperwork." My colleague was told TSA was going to file an "incident report."

The nature of WMR's coverage is that our sources are our lifeblood and anything done to compromise them is a direct attack on the freedom of the press and our rights as journalists. The notion of press freedom does not exist in Chertoff's worldview of police state tactics and total surveillance but his worldview is a distinctly un-American one, something that is more properly relegated to the history books of his ancestral Czarist Russia.

When our investigations take us beyond the Washington Beltway, it is not within Chertoff's purview to find out details about the purpose of the trip, even though it may shed an unwelcome light on his network of Mossad operatives and Russian-Israeli gangsters and scam artists who are now running rampant in these United States of America.

The antics at Washington Reagan National are not unique. Foreign journalists have been subjected to similar invasive screening either at US embassies when applying for the required journalist visas to visit the United States or at immigration screening at US entry points.

The corporate media will not report on these cases as they are part of the problem in allowing Chertoff and his American Gestapo to continue to turn the United States into one big West Bank-style checkpoint.

One other note. This editor visited the USSR and draconian nations such as Paul Kagame's Rwanda, Yoweri Museveni's Uganda, Hun Sen's Cambodia, the former military junta's Thailand, surveillance society Singapore, and Muslim monarchy Brunei Darussalam. Nothing compares to what occurred at Washington National Airport. It is yet another sign of the fact that the United States has entered a phase of fascist control. There's only one question that remains: Is the slide reversible?
