A SEX RING IN CONGRESS IS A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY
Edited on Sat Sep-30-06 06:20 PM by zonkers
Beyond being morally reprehensible, a foreign power could be blackmailing a congressman at this very moment about his sexual wrongdoings. Investigations are needed now. K & R.

2. I;m disgusted that our leaders are involved in sex rings with young boys
Republicans are the most despicable human filth imaginable on earth. They prey on young boys and have nothing on their minds except sodomy.

K&R!

Edited on Sat Sep-30-06 06:34 PM by zonkers
what we know so far, it is just one pol doing it but it is also true that Reynolds and others knew of Foley's deeds yet did nothing except conceal it from others. At least, it is some sort of conspiracy which begs one to ask "Why hide Foley's deed?" Maybe this does not quallify as a ring but something ain't kosher. Besides, I see little wrong with taking a page from "their" page book with NY POST style subject line.

Hastert, Boehner, Shumkus, Reynolds, and Alexander. Those are some heavy hitters that appear to be acting illegally or at the very least immorally.

24. Any illegal activity in Congress is a security issue.
The more susceptable to blackmail, the worse it is.

You imply there's a sex ring. We can make enough hay over this to fill the barn without baseless allegations.

I thought it was a warning to someone at the time.

Still it's not evidence of a sex based conspiracy. The leadership appears to have coered it up, which is a security breach in addition to every other charge that applies.

You know, to make Hastert cover Foley's sexual deviancies?

Tax evasion?
Drug use?
Sexual deviation?

What? Why didn't Hastert come forward? Corruption? Protecting the party? Or was it something worse, something Foley had on Hastert?

19. Well, the Anthrax attack was helpful, as was the death of couple of
Dems who were getting in the way. (Dying in timely plane crashes.)

Even if the accidents were indeed accidents, it could still make a Dem nervous not knowing for certain.

If there are any high-level Dems involved, they could be outing one soon to "even the score."

I've never thought of the sexual angle,though...I was thinking more along the line of how many beheadings dubya saw as a teen.
They were so insistent that bush had never even been out of the country while growing up, yet we now know he at least spent a summer in Scotland at a sheep farm.

18. The job to be done
The urban marketing job to be done now, is to get the actual dialog between markAnthonyFoley54 and
the kid he was grooming for a fuck to every curious mind. It needs be high on google, let the
lustful heart of american sex voyerism oogle over every word and they themselves will be disgusted
to find out what "republican congressmen" are saying.

It begs and investigation, but as this is election season, if we were a marketing team, we could
put that message across the internet no problemo. Then, a demand for republicans who knew about
the sex grooming of minors to step down ASAP. Its not acceptable and when people see the evidence,
they'll come to their own conclusions.

29. I shouldn't say this
Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 10:33 AM by Zodiak Ironfist
Because it is anecdotal and hearsay.

But I have a very good friend I have known all of my life get involved with a woman whose child was taken by his father (they were divorced) into a child sex ring in central Texas. My friend tried to find out the truth of the woman's story, and got far more than he bargained for. He told me that some VERY important people in the professional world and politics in Texas were involved in this ring, and my friend had to flee the state for fear of his life because he asked too many questions of the wrong people.

He doesn't like to talk about it, but it is clear that what my friend saw traumatized him to the core of his soul. He was sexually abused when he was a kid, and so it made it all the worse. He told me that torture, snuff films, etc. are the norm for that ring, and they even had a doctor's office at the facility.

Of course, like I said, this is anecdotal and hearsay, but I trust my friend.

This incident, the Hunter S. Thompson stuff, the Washington Times report from 1989, and the loooong list of Republican pederasts all do nothing but reinforce what I have heard from my friend.

38. there was a testosterone study in the 70's done on freshmen congressmen
based on the behavior of the Cut Throat fish in Lake Titicaca, the fish are small, 3 or 4 inches.. but they compete for small territories on the bottom to collect females and mate. the fish get a red slash behind the gills when they drive off an old male and acquire a territory and their testicles get really huge and bulge out their sides.. and their testosterone levels skyrocket and they get sexually aggressive and herd females onto their spot. after they wear out and are driven off they lose the red slash and their testicles return to normal.

so these naive scientists thought they could test politicians new to their territories and see what happened. the hormone levels of the new congressmen skyrocketed and they became overly sexually aggressive.. the team actually discovered one congressman who was a cross dresser, he dolled up and went to the government whore houses and just hung out, fending off the attentions of his fellow congressmen, the study said he made a REALLY GOOD LOOKING WOMAN, then returned to the floor and no one ever figured him out. these guys started arranging to have sex regularly at work and after work..

you have to know with that sort of behavior and money there is a system of supply. and where there is power and weakness there are predators to take what they can of the power.

well the stories leaked out of the study and it was shut down, people came to work and everything was gone.. all the study data was stolen. and they were dis funded.. i learned about this from a girlfriend i had who's major was psychology.

47. Anyone remember Repug Lawrence King's child sex ring scandal?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_King


Lawrence E. "Larry" King Jr. ran the Franklin Community Credit Union of Omaha, Nebraska and was a prominent fundraiser for the GOP before pleading guilty to embezzlement. He was alleged to have been involved in, or the leader of, a child-sex group in Nebraska in the 1980s.

A television documentary on the "Franklin Coverup Scandal", called Conspiracy of Silence, was produced in 1994 but never aired, apparently due to concerns about liability for defamation. In February 1999, a U.S. District Court awarded a plaintiff, Paul A. Bonacci, $800,000 in damages against King for various tort claims, including physical, mental, and sexual abuse. The award followed a default judgment resulting from King's failure to respond to Bonacci's lawsuit.

27. Damn, its time somebody said that.
The scandal after scandal after scandal...And we know these things work. You fuck a kid, somebody has the pictures, then they control you. They prove to be "kind" masters and help you get into positions of powers so long as they hold the strings. This is the story of the power of spy groups, organized crime groups etc.


I don't even think the rumors of pedophilia rings are so far fetched. Anything like that, where all the members hold a certain power and knowledge over each other but can never communicate openly about what's going on to anyone else without implicating themselves in horrendus crimes, is going to be a force unseen behind the scenes, and possibly a powerful one. Crime made easy.

it on film, and they own you. You do good for them, they supply you with your weakness (drugs, sex, whatever).

It's simple, really. No one would ever believe it if anyone tried to come forward with their "Conspiracy Theory" of a story. At that point, they expose your weakness and you lose all credibility with the public, and your story is perceived as a last desperate, pathetic move by a sick person. Everyone laughs at your accusations. And the game goes on...

41. Yeah, they all get "Rathered."
This is certainly why the Thugs/Cons vote in lockstep! I wonder who is actually pulling the strings. Too bad they wouldn't check Jeff Gannon's whereabouts and see who he actually visited. Of course he signed in to see xxxx, but who else did he "see" once he got in? Now that sex rings comes up again on the front pages...they need to open up the Gannon case. I can't believe that was basically ignored/forgotten/excused/scared off by the "Liberal" media, WH, Dem & Rethug pols and Journalists. Only one reason...they are all in on it.

Who knows...maybe they even enticed Blair and that's why he so adamantly sided with bush. Not nice to say...I know...I know...but it would explain a lot on why he went against his own people. While I'm tossing out nasty unsubstantiated accusations maybe bush is being blackmailed too and really isn't making any decisions. I wonder who's doing that?
Now I'll go take a shower and wash my mouth out with soap.

With a visit to GITMO, extensive tax audits, or some other kind of abuse? Or alternatively, were paid off with some generous pork, care of the taxpayers?

I'm suspicious they just decided to let it go. I myself would be outraged, and want a promise that Foley would face prosecution (even if the congressperson in question were of the same part as myself.).

57. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bush Administration has been
using the NSA Warrantless Wiretapping/spying program to know what every single member of Congress does from the moment they get up in the morning to when they go to bed and with whom. Bush's statement of shock is just such a bunch of BS! You know they knew! They have all known and they probably keep shits like Foley on and cover for him because then they can hold it over him and make him do as they want!

Whether its an actual "sex ring" is maybe a stretch (but, hey - who knows?) but I'd say the likelihood is more that they like having the goods on people and use it to blackmail people like Foley to do as they say.
