A new video released today by FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds reveals that Dennis Hastert and other officials were being constantly monitored and recorded by CIA and other government entities. FBI was doing it to try to prosecute and CIA was doing it for blackmail and espionage.

Jeb Bush divorce papers - his trip to China and ladies at the hotel "gifted" to him by China gov't. - This story was in the papers but at election time were never mentioned. If China gave him women to play with one can assume they had cameras in the room.

"China gave him women to play with"........That made me think of an old friend of mine in the armed services, I won't say which one. He had gone to China for a week, this was almost 15 years ago. He was an officer and on active duty but it may have been for vacation and not business, I can't remember.
Anyway he said the first bar he went to in Beijing had the most stunningly beautiful hookers he'd ever seen. He said you could basically take them home to your hotel room for the entire week.
At the time I chalked it up to China having so many people, Capitalism and money. But now in light of this espionage black-mail shit we're all learning about those hookers were stunning for a reason. My friends hotel room was filmed probably and the recording filed away for later use no doubt.
Nothing ever happened to my friend, he wasn't even married at the time. I got the impression he felt like he lucked out or that he was getting "serviced" on a higher pay grade than he actually had.

Plus - in the US, mafia bookmakers use hookers to get intel on players (Johns) for their betting operations. In China women could be used the same way, just to get info from servicemembers in ordinary conversation.... or boozy conversation.

"in the US"........Totally. That's one of the reasons why I'm glad I have no money. It was hard at first seeing people with lots of money. Then around 35-40 I figured it out. Money is the root of evil, they weren't lying.
Money attracts all sorts of problems. I have a friend from high school with loads of money. He bought a house on the water. He even has a dock but he won't buy a boat to put there. In fact he basically never leaves his house. You have to wonder if you get to a certain level of wealth and you get a whole new set of problems. You get a big old target on your back.
Poverty means peace.
