LETTER TO CONGRESSMAN CHAFFTZ RE: DEA OWNED STRIP CLUB ARRESTS
Dear Congressman Chafftz:
I'm writing you about these articles about the DEA and strip clubs.
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/dea-sex-parties-colombia-report-116413.html
and then - http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/dea-agents-illegally-ran-new-jersey-strip-club-prosecutors-article-1.2229169
I'd also like to introduce myself if I might. My name is Jody Williams and I'm the founder of not only Sex Workers Anonymous, but the very modern day movement to have sex trafficking recognized so that victims may receive PROPER assistance.
I say "proper" in this manner - trafficking in the USA today is not the same as it is in China, Thailand, India, etc. Nor is "trafficking" the same as prostitution as many people in the major media are trying to cram down our throats today. I don't know where you are on the page here on this subject - so please forgive me if I start at the beginning to make sure we are on the same page.
I've attached an article I wrote recently about the movement I founded to have trafficking victims, and their needs recognized. I've also attached my resume to give you an idea how long I've been in this movement.
Because in modern day America sex trafficking involves men like these DEA agents for one thing. They own strip clubs and then suddenly voila! These women are entertaining at a Columbia drug cartel party.
Now I ask you this - what happens when they decide they want to leave? Don't you think men like this might be a tad "worried" what these women might talk about knowing or to who?
This is why once we did obtain federal recognition that trafficking was in fact real after punching it out with the media, the public, and the government for 20 years - that there was an immediate major media backlash to try and create more "disinformation" about what modern day domestic sex trafficking is as well as what these victims need in order to truly leave and escape trafficking.
Women like those in that club can't go to some homeless shelter for help to escape. Even if they did, some DEA agent, or his buddies, flash a badge and they're found in one minute. Then guess what? Another guy with a badge shows up and says "I need to speak to her" and then she's gone.
This is why I knew I couldn't go to places like this when I was running from men who I'd witnessed involved in trafficking in "my day" that were police, CIA, FBI, etc. I knew I wouldn't be safe. As it was in my case, I'd already had two dead people in connection with people trying to silence me for fear of what I'd say back then. Barely escaping with my life - that's why I formed a group to reach out and help others to escape, Sex Workers Anonymous.
Because all over the country - I was hearing about women who had been desperate enough to run to the nearest homeless or domestic violence shelter, or even drug program - where this guy with a badge had shown up asking for them never to be heard from again. The staff at these shelters would tell me they'd ask "what happened to her?" only to be told "classified" when in reality she's just been cut up and thrown out in the desert or off the pier - or better yet sold for snuff films or her organs sold so at least the traffickers could pick up a few extra bucks.
Only let me explain something to you very few people want to hear about things like organ harvesting from those dead hookers - this isn't done in some hotel room with butter knifes like the movies make you think is what happens. Organ harvesting is done with sophisticated machines and technology that requires a trained doctor to know how to do, and specialized equipment to perform these procedures, and a lot of paperwork to get the organs transplanted. Snuff films are also not cheap to produce nor to get viewed. So those movies aren't aired in back alleys - but in very "high class" board and bedrooms of very wealthy people. In other words - it's not what you'd led to believe in movies it is or who is doing these things.
There are only pretty much two programs I'm aware of in this country that can safely help this type of victim disappear when a trafficker with a badge is going to be looking for them (or a trafficker who can hire a man with a badge). Which is why since 2007 when we got that federal recognition and I gave a press conference about this you can read about on www.hightechmadam.com - I challenge you to find any major media about either Sex Workers Anonymous, or Children of the Night, www.childrenofthenight.org written since 2007.
If you do find some - I'd venture it's been "faked". Like this wonderful piece of "disinformation" - http://www.thefix.com/content/addicted-to-prostitution-60072?page=all This article claims to have me living in Los Angeles in 1996 supposedly bringing male prostitutes chicken soup to their homes and asking them to write out "john" lists for "amends". What a crock!
I can show you other reporters who have been fired just for trying to write about us, while I have a long list of many others who will tell you they were threatened with their jobs if they tried to write even a word about us. The few who did write about us were not only fired - but some even threatened physically. Bob Herbert of the NY Times was threatened by ex-mob mayor Oscar Goodman with a "baseball bat to the head if he ever sets foot back in Las Vegas" after writing about me and the subject of SWA.
To show you how far this goes - I'd like to point you to Relativity Media. Not only did they film the show we helped to get pulled off the air "8 Minutes", but they also currently film a series inside the Orange County, CA jail, along with the series "Intervention" and "Catfish". They also filmed the series "Gigolos" and were connected to the brief episode that aired on Bravo with Annie Lobert from Hookers for Jesus.
"Catfish" is a show where it's exposed that people are not who they pretend to be online - and that people are sometimes even engaged to profiles who don't even exist. "Gigolo's" was a fantasy show dubbed "reality" about a bunch straight male escorts in Las Vegas. The jail show has cameras going in and out of jail in Orange County, CA - even into cells marked as "isolation". The show "Intervention" is showing people trying to confront addicts to convince them to enter into treatment.
All of these may seem "disconnected" until you realize Tom Forman produced all of them and that A&E, Bravo, Showtime, and NBC are all connected to Disney, ABC and Hearst Media. The series "Intervention" also explains how a fake article about me popped up supposedly being this woman running meetings in Los Angeles in 1996 in an addiction related magazine. The fact he also produces "catfish" could explain how the knowledge to fake someone entirely is there
.
Oh don't get me wrong - there was a woman sayings she was "Jody Williams" and holding "Sex Workers Anonymous" meetings in Los Angeles at that time. She even had a website up, and she was applying for grants. Grants for $300,000 to open up a "drop in" center in Pasadena, California that when I had a friend of mine at Impact House in Pasadena go by and check it out - only to find a vacant building. I reported the use of my name for this $300,000 grant to the police - only to read everyone else on her board had been arrested but the woman pretending to be me who turned out to be "Anne Bissell" or "Juliette Chandler" (I don't know what her real name is actually - but those are two she goes by online.) Since everyone was arrested but her - kind of tells me she must have "turned" on the others on her board to get immunity.
This wasn't the last time I had dealings with Pasadena, California either. Right now I'm trying to help some victims leave this trafficking ring that spans this country, into others like Russia and China, etc. The heads of one of these "under" rings as I call them reside in Pasadena, California. I call them "under" rings - because the Triad, Yakuza, Mexican Cartel, Bloods, Crips, and other "minority" gangs now have the Aryan gangs connected with the bikers "overseeing" them is the way the structure has been explained to me exists now that the old Italian mobs are no longer in control like they used to be. Not since Juliani came after the mob to break it up.
When I met with this victim in Pasadena who begged me to help her - she told me of how she had fake arrests posted on her criminal record. Then she explained she couldn't leave because they would just post more fake charges on her record,and get her deported to China where they would then get her executed by the state. They had evidently drugged her and then posed her in porn along with her almost identical looking sister. Back in China, "incest porn" is met with a death penalty - and she's been threatened with these pictures if they deport her if she tries to leave this operation.
We hired her an attorney to help who ordered her booking tape of these arrests. He was then threatened by another attorney and resigned from the case. When I went back to speak to her - I then got threatened by the same attorney. When that didn't stop me I got threatened by a Pasadena police officer. His chief ignored me so I went to the city and district attorney who ignored me. I went to the CA US Attorney who ignored me. When I pushed on her - she announced she'd running for Senate, i.e., bailed.
When I went back to city council - they were missing $6,000,000 and a little busy. I went to Internal Affairs - who said the files were being burned over the city council's objection and even the mayor. When a judge pushed for an audit of the station which cost $190,000 - it was done by the Veritas Assurance Group. Only the only information I can find on them is they sell legal insurance plans on a LinkedIn page. https://www.linkedin.com/company/2214511?trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Acompany%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1432699743387%2Ctas%3Averitas%20assurance No insurance number on that site either I'd like to add. No staff listing, no idea how long they've been in business, etc. The report was done by Ron Sanchez (the chief is Phillip Sanchez), but Michael Beck, the city manager, tells me they're "not related". http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/government-and-politics/20150313/pasadena-police-detective-tactics-criticized-for-nearly-crossing-line-of-legality-new-audit-says
Since this report claims that things like detectives bragging they can "fake a homicide" if they wanted to an be fixed by getting more "funding and training" you can see why I'd like to speak to the people working on this audit of the Pasadena Police - especially with all that's going on right now. http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/general-news/20140702/tape-pasadena-homicide-detective-bragged-about-framing-suspects-lying-to-get-conviction
Now if you think these strippers out of that club in NJ might have a hard time being believed if they'd tried to get help before this arrest - you can imagine how hard of a time our woman, I'm going to call her "Music" is having with her traffickers. Being that they've faked her a complete criminal history, drugged her and staged her in "fake" incest porn, threatened her and her son, threatened us, monitor every phone call and every interaction with modern technology, threaten people trying to help her like us using cops, attorney's, and private investigators taking tips right out of a "CoinintelPro" handbook trying to get me to "back off" while trying to discredit me so no one will listen to her situation - then you can see how we felt it was also necessary to film what she'd dealing with so we could get not just her help, but the many many women who are a part of this ring that are being trafficked all over this country right now - and worse.
But when I organized a film crew to come out and help me do a "real" documentary about what "really" is happening in the USA today with respect to sex trafficking - our crew was all chased off the project.
Why? Can't let what we're filming upset what was being filmed to come out on "8 Minutes" that bore no connection at all to the reality of the sex industry today that's billed as "reality" TV.
Why? To make real victims sound crazy when they step forward no different than they do when people see lights in the sky and the media tries to say it's "weather balloons" or "flares". But it goes farther than just simple "disinformation" when I'm having whole stories about our group and myself impersonated and faked by large corporations which all seem to keep coming up under the mantle of Hearst Media.
I mean honestly - if the women at that strip club in NJ were to come forward before this arrest hit the news and say that they "worked in a club owned by DEA agents" and had been "forced onto a plane to Columbia" where they were further forced to "dance and entertain Columbian drug dealers and the Columbian police were told to hold their guns while the DEA cavorted around with prostitutes" - tell me how much they'd be believed?
Let's examine the word "forced" for a minute too. Let's say you're a stripper working at that strip club. Let's say you walked in there on your own and you made a decision to work there. I'm sure they don't post on the door as you walk in a sign saying "owned by DEA agents". So you find out after you're hired - that they do in fact own that club. These guys now have a copy of your ID, and they know where you live. They know where your kids go to school. They know where your mother lives. Then these come to you and "ask" you if you'd like to "go to Columbia to dance for some cartel dealers". Anyone would probably think "hell no I don't want to go" - but would you say "no?" Would you really be standing there in front of two DEA agents and say to them "no I don't want to go" knowing that they know where you live, your real name, where your kids go to school, etc. Then think about telling them you want to quit? So in these guys' minds - "oh no I didn't force anyone - I didn't put a gun to anyone's head" but that's not how it works is it?
I remember watching an interview with Henry Hill about how they fixed that infamous college basketball game. He laughed saying "I didn't threaten anyone - I just asked the guy 'I don't how one would play basketball with a broken arm'" as he winked to the camera. So are you going to tell me that wasn't a threat either against that player? The problem with sex trafficking is that it's rarely done with a gun standing over someone.
Then ask yourself - where would these women go for help where these agents, scared of what these women might say, couldn't follow them? Now take one step further - imagine that it's 1984 when people didn't even believe this kind of thing existed AT ALL - and now you have an idea what I've been dealing with in the 1970's, 1980's - and why I formed our group to help these types of victims.
The problem with laying down with dogs is that you get fleas. One who tends to protect the secrets of the sex industry, and the traffickers connected to it - also tend to be "patrons" or "johns" or "hobbyists" or "clients" or whatever word you want to use. http://jezebel.com/these-sexts-cost-former-hearst-exec-scott-sassa-his-car-471590787 Then if you do something that dog doesn't like - well you just get bit and replaced with someone who will.
Which is what happened to Steve Sassa - a man who used to be in control of Hearst Media. Or even what happened with the case of the "Chinese prostitutes" and Glaxo Pharmaceuticals - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/pharmaceuticalsandchemicals/10183798/GSKs-treatment-in-China-will-be-a-warning-to-others.html But these are only what has broken in the news! Imagine the other stories we don't know about!
I saw an interview with Ronald Kessler recently however that explained why all of us, not just those who are sex workers or their customers, need to be concerned about any of this. Because the problem here is that it's not about "sex" - it's about security. To think that this is about "sex" is like thinking that "rape" is about "sex" because both appear to be "sex" on the surface - but in reality things are much more complex.
Ronald explained that secret service agents were letting in prostitutes into the White House completely "off the books" where they could be carrying a bomb, anthrax, who knows. They could leave "mikes" behind or worse. They're let into back rooms without even being checked with metal detectors for that matter first - let alone any background checks done on them to see what their political ties, or even criminal history is first before giving them this kind of delicate access to the very inner workings and people of our government. Who knows if they're "customers" are forced into giving campaign contributions even to cloud where they're coming from.
It's not the "independent" prostitutes I'm worried about - but those who are being controlled or trafficked. The problem is that these "clients" don't know how to tell the difference. I mean look at Steve Sassa - he said he "didn't think she had a pimp because she was found on a high class escort site". So what? What about the Google executive murdered by a woman he found on "Sugar Babies". Women on there argue they aren't even "prostitutes" because they're paid by the month instead of the hour. Come on - denial isn't just a river in Egypt here folks.
Many are arguing that "legalization" is the answer. However, I've seen "legalization" up close in my work with Nevada's legal brothels and I assure you this makes it even WORSE. This requires a licensing process that will prevent people like these victims from EVER getting any job outside of that industry ever. Imagine someone allowing a woman to become an attorney, a doctor, get a seat on Wall Street, or even work around small children for that matter if her background check turns up "prostitute". Even now if one catches HIV while "on the job" there is no workers compensation, disability, or vocational rehabilitation for that "worker". Plus if anyone remembers what Joe Conforte was like - trust me a lot depends upon who is the owner of that brothel. Or did anyone forget the scene in the "Godfather" where a hooker was murdered to set up a politician was referring to Joe Conforte?
Which is why men today who see prostitutes are subject to blackmail. Look at Steve Sassa. We also don't really know what secrets were leaked, nor what stock market manipulations were going on behind Glaxo Pharmaceuticals (or Google for that matter) either during this time http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/pharmaceuticalsandchemicals/10183798/GSKs-treatment-in-China-will-be-a-warning-to-others.html
We have no idea what Steve for example was being asked to do in reality that when he balked at it - they got him fired. How do I know if it wasn't to approve the funding of this "8 Minutes" which was "catfishing" America about sex trafficking is?
People are voting on Bills right now and also there's open lawsuits going on right now about Backpage - don't tell me this show didn't have an impact on what people think. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/01/city_of_portland_san_francisco.html Shows like this are why people are sequestered during murder trials so as "not to taint" the jury! http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jul/30/nation/la-na-nn-backpage-washington-lawsuits-20120729
If anything, his firing was a message to others that you don't want to risk going against these people and what they want or they'll do to you what they did to him, or did to Eliot Spitzer when they leaked a tape of him to the media, or even to Donald Banks recently who I believe is the victim of a "reverse blackmail" sting. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/gay-porn-star-extortion-case-897653
I think part of the reason Sony got hacked was to send a message. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/02/sony-hacking-seth-rogen-evan-goldberg The hacking was done at a time when we'd put together our own resources to film our own documentary about what "really" is going on out there with the sex trafficking in this country. I was talking to many reporters and producers at NBC about not filming this bogus stuff - but in fact helping us air the "real" stuff. I even found an editor who had worked at Sony for 12 years, and knew many of the executives there, to help us get this documentary made and aired - before the hacking.
When suddenly they couldn't even get theaters to air a Seth Rogan and James Franco comedy - what do you think they thought of their chances of airing something about Chinese espionage and biker gangs and Aryan police officers and the Bush family's connection with trafficking went over?
They got their spanking and everyone at NBC shut the door on us after that also. I will tell you another reason why these traffickers don't want us having any access to major media as well as why they want to be totally in control which they were showing they are with this Sony hacking - and that's about blackmail.
They want to show they're the ones who get to say who is blackmailed and who isn't. As an example - if anyone were to have said that Donald Banks was seeing male prostitutes, and even maybe seeing underage male prostitutes - he could have slapped them with an injunction and a defamation lawsuit. However, by telling him that the police would arrest this person, and by promising to "keep his name out of the lawsuit" - he believed them.
Then his name was "leaked" to the press and there's nothing he can do about what's now "public record". The blackmail threat was sent via text message which could have been sent from any google phone which can be "spoofed" to appear to come from any phone the sender wants to make it appear came from - which again is what they did with Steve and many other victims I've been speaking to in connection with this ring.
Because I'll tell you what effect this case had upon the mind of the average "john" after not just the Sony hacking - but also Donald's case being leaked to the media and that's for the future victims of this type of blackmail to pay the money and keep your mouth shut. I ought to know because I am not only two classes away from my BA degree in psychology, but I've been studying brainwashing, and the human mind with respect to the sex industry since I was a teenager and I'm 54 year old now.
This message was a loud and clear to pay the money and keep your mouth shut when extorted that was sent when the police told Donald "don't worry we know what we're doing" and the blackmailers I'm sure warned him not to go to the police!
Traffickers now are like wolves in sheep's clothing. This is why the windows district in Amsterdam said it was shutting it down in 2007 - not because of the prostitution but because of the "trafficking" in connection to it. http://globalnews.ca/news/540131/amsterdam-turns-out-the-red-lights-in-famed-district/
These criminals are only appearing to be using prostitutes to lure wealthy and powerful men into the web that's become so dangerous that the UK government has already started warning their people, and many wealthy and powerful business owners about some of these scams - unlike what we're doing in this country because the media is wanting to throw out outdated images of the sex industry instead of current ones so as to keep feeding new victims into the system. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11351232/Malaysian-businessman-bribed-dozens-of-US-Navy-officers-with-prostitutes-and-suckling-pigs.html We also have a very hard time talking about sex in general in this country - look at the recent story of Josh Duggar as one good example of that!
Men who think they're just getting a "good time" based on images in the media about what the sex industry "used" to be - are instead winding up in a tar patch they don't know how to get out of nor know where to go for help. This is why honestly I'm getting more calls from the "customers" each year also. Men who thought they were "just going to a strip club" or "just going for a quick blow job" - only to find their lives suddenly turned upside down.
Take Rick Rizzolo was just one example I can speak about because it's in the news. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/former-topless-club-owner-rick-rizzolo-indicted-tax-evasion-charges He would drug his customers at the Crazy Horse strip club with enough GHB to knock out 10 men, max out their credit cards, and then put them into cabs home.
The cab drivers were all also owned by another strip club owner so the drivers would know the drill. Not only not take them to a hospital because of how they were acting while drugged - but also to be sure NOT to bring them to me. Those who would bring a victim to me - was fired. How did they know? GPS and cameras in the cabs. Then they would tell the drivers they could see everywhere the cab was going and everything going on inside the cab. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/limo-ceo-aides-plead-guilty-las-vegas-racketeering-conspiracy So for years we used to get cab drivers who would help a woman in trouble by taking her right to our door - only to have a local strip club owner buy the cab company, tell the drivers there was a "new sheriff in town" and if they "wanted their jobs they wouldn't even so much as speak Jody's name to a prostitute in their cab".
When the customer would complain to the club the next day - they were ignored. When they went to Chief Gillespie - he ignored them before he stepped down on corruption charges. https://nevadastatepersonnelwatch.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/fifteen-members-of-las-vegas-sheriff-douglas-gillespies-organization-have-been-served-with-a-federal-complaint/
When they went to the DA - they were met with David Shubert, who died last year from drugs. That was pointless as he would do whatever his drug source would tell him to do. If they asked for tapes from the cabs - they were told the tapes had been "destroyed". http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/crime-courts/death-troubles-piled-ex-prosecutor-Schubert
Internal Affairs? There was none until after I complained for so many years about a lack of one - they put a typist, Karen Hughes, in charge of vice, the sex trafficking task force, and also on the board for Internal Affairs. Trust me - anyone who even asks about us to help them is told that "Jody is just crazy" so they don't think to come talk to me about what's going on. Those who do anyway are then told by Karen that I'm "just crazy" and to discount me. Not realizing that I'm not just "me" - but a group comprised of 1,000's of members over 30 years all over the world. I'm just the one who interfaces with the public so the rest can maintain their "anonymity" and not be attacked.
Is this really just about some money and prostitution? Not when it escalates to murder or involves murder. Buffalo Jim used to operate a wrestling school across the street from the Crazy Horse club that Rizzolo ran. When things would get crazy and these strippers would just want out of there - they'd literally run across to his school where they'd physically be safe because of being guarded by the wrestlers. I'd get a call and we'd get the women out of state actually to safety because Rick had a lot of powerful "friends". He supposedly bought information from an Orange County police officer while incarcerated. The day after Rick was released from prison - a death threat was left on Jim's car. The next day Jim was found dead in a hotel room.
The videotape showed a hooker with him checking into that room. However, I know he may very well have been asked to get that woman that room and to come sit with her while I was called. After his death - there were protests in the streets about the case - but no toxicology report would be released. His daughter suspecting a "rat" also snuck into the coroners' office and found the report which said Jim had enough GHB in his system to kill 10 men. The news just broadcast that "drugs" were found in his system. No case was ever opened to investigate his death.
The officials also had to spread the rumors I was "crazy" to cover up fresh information I was getting in the Jessie Foster case. They had to do something because I kept getting new members coming into our program telling me new things about her death, and her pimp they suspected murdered her along with other escorts and even a madam who went missing in connection with him also. When I had fresh information from incoming members about her murder, and others in the ring, I would go to the police to investigate what I was being told. Only they're ignore me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Jessie_Foster
So I'd go to the task force when it was someone other than Karen - and was ignored. Then I'd go to the FBI where then I'd get threatened with a 5150 and having my kid taken away. So I went to Jessie's mother. So they had to convince her I was just "crazy" to make sure she wouldn't listen to the fact I had fresh information in the case that no one was following up on.
Why? Because if Peter Todd, her pimp, gets arrested - then he lets out all kinds of secrets no one wants released about what else is going on out here in the sex industry.
So Mr. Chaffetz - I understand you were responsible for bringing this story to light about the DEA agents because you didn't view this as just some "harmless sex party". Not when Columbian police are handed guns from our agents to hold - no it's not "harmless". Especially when this is only the "version" we were given. Thank you. It helps me get my message across easier when we talk about "trafficking" today is not just some African American male sitting in a Cadillac wearing a fedora and sporting a cane. That's an archaic stereotype that is different than what I define as a "trafficker".
There is also a difference between "prostitution" and also "sex trafficking". Just as a farmer is different than a victim of human trafficking forced to work on a farm - or any trafficking victim in any industry. I've also always said the only way we're ever going to be able to get these people arrested is to "decriminalize" the industry so that victims are not treated as "criminals" by our legal system where witnesses are then considered "accomplices".
I appreciate any work you did to get this story out because it helps me explain what we're really dealing with today in Sex Workers Anonymous. Now - if I can just get the media to help us tell these men, women and transgenders, about our program, and groups like Children of the Night, for those under 18 years of age, who can protect and help rehabilitate them, then that be even more of an accomplishment.
But I can't seem to get our name into any major media since 2007 - nor even invited to any congressional hearings because everyone seems very bent on the idea of portraying "victims of trafficking" by showing images of street prostitution.
What a great way for the traffickers to be hiding plain sight" isn't it? I mean why else spend all that money to create a completely "staged" show like the did with "8 Minutes" using images of street prostitutes they called "victims of trafficking" and even using the National Trafficking Hotline number after Polaris had even asked them not to use their number in connection to the show - while chasing off our film crew from doing a shoot of what "real" trafficking in Los Angeles looks like where the victims aren't threatened by men like Bishop Don Juan - but instead attorney's, police officers, politicians, and even DEA agents.
Then of course up comes the smoke screen about how we need to put more money into homeless shelters or other programs that have no such consideration for the fact the criminals these victims are running from today in the USA are bikers and men with badges for which the "typical" shelters, program, treatment centers, etc. are not equipped to deal with situations where even "witness protection" isn't safe. That's what needs to be recognized if we're going to help true victims of "trafficking", again not sex workers, but victims of trafficking, in this country.
Mr. Chaffetz - we've had it finally come out in the news that there's been "fake" survivors like Somaly Mam, http://www.thenation.com/article/180132/sex-trafficking-lies-money-lessons-somaly-mam-scandal and Ben Hillier (who the film "Taken" was based upon) - but a lot of people aren't asking "why?" nor why only since 2007 have these fakes hit our media and lecture circuits and awards tables. http://www.tbd.com/articles/2011/01/bill-hillar-inspiration-for-film-taken-arrested-by-fbi-47382.html
The show "8 Minutes" also shows that we now have "fake" groups and outreaches even - something I've been also yelling about since 2007 only to have people just respond with "oh she's crazy" so they don't have to look at the facts. People aren't asking "why did Kevin Brown and Greg Reese lie?" in connection with this show. Nor are they asking "where did the money go?" that was being donated by people who also thought it was "real".
When I ask these questions - people just say "oh Jody you're crazy" rather than answer the questions. I'm used to that as I got some of my early support when I left the industry from a holocaust support group. They warned me about "Moishe" - the man who tried to warn people not to get on the trains. I was also warned about Kurt Gerstein - the man who also tried to warn people that Jews, and others, were being mass exterminated using his crystals to gas them to death in a process that sometimes too people two days to die. They also would say he was "crazy" so they could discount him rather than listen and respond.
Kevin Brown and this so called "outreach" are not unique. Because I've also been calling around many of these groups across the country that I have been seeing shown on TV, in documentaries, in the news, etc. - only to find out they're entirely "fake" as well as the "fake" survivors" and the fake outreach as well as even "fake" prostitutes now. Just like people told Moishe he was crazy when he would tell people "there are no jobs if you get on those trains" - so too have I been hearing I'm "crazy" when I tell people I'm calling one "fake" program after another that I've seen on TV. The same for "fake" survivors". Because "8 Minutes" also hired women to "act" as victims on that show.
Again why? One reason is because they don't want the truth about the industry, or what "real" victims, are dealing with today. Now I'm not saying they don't use "real" sex workers from time to time. But to me - to put on Gordon Ramsey, a well paid very famous chef, and ask him to speak about what a person who is being "trafficked" into the restaurant industry experiences - guess what? He's going to deny that even exists because someone like him doesn't see something like that. So all in all - it's very clever use of propaganda to try and help people form opinions by asking the Gordon Ramsey equivalent of the sex industry about sex trafficking - because of course they're going to deny any knowledge of such things. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist - just means he doesn't see it is all.
Which they're getting advice from the best now - believe me in just how to do such type of deception. http://www.democracynow.org/2015/5/7/robert_jay_lifton_author_of_the Robert Jay Lifton has come forward now taking about the kind of "advice" that our CIA has been receiving from experts in the mind for purposes on how to control people's minds. Here Mr. Lifton speaks about how our CIA receiving this training for "torture" purposes - but believe me there was more to this than just that. The series "Lie to Me" was also based on a man who has consulted with our government on how the mind works.
If you watch the show Derren Brown did on how he can convince someone to even admit to a murder they never actually committed, as well how he convinced someone to pick up a gun and shoot someone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P2vYIgPdKg and then re-watch the "8 Minutes" show trying to convince us that a "prostitute" is a "trafficking victim" - you might have a whole new perspective on this show that tries to convince the viewer that in watching these women who are "prostitutes" walk into that hotel room while repeating the word "victim victim victim" at least 10 times I counted in the opening five minutes of the show - you might have a different perspective on what I mean by "they're brainwashing us in the media" after watching Derren's program.
Because what's happening right now Mr. Chaffetz is very powerful people are trying to convince America that trafficking and prostitution are the same for many reasons. They're not. Nor is the sex industry as "harmless" either - especially now that we have other countries like China using it as a means of robbing this country blind, and also for espionage.
Because "trafficking" against isn't street prostitution. Nor does espionage take place with street prostitutes either. I invite you to check out this article. http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/chinese-professors-among-six-defendants-charged-economic-espionage-and-theft-trade-secrets I'd like you to know these men were also dealing with students and professors in colleges like USC. I'd also like to add that Brandy Britton was a university professor before she was found hung in her home after a prostitution arrest.
Brandy Britton was the prostitute that David Vitter was seeing while she as working under Jeane Palfrey, the woman dubbed the DC Madam by the media when she was arrested.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/29/AR2007012900654.html
Jeane could have just taken a plea bargain when she was arrested - but she didn't. Probably for why she was arrested. Every "single white female" madam that's hit the news when arrested - including myself - has been approached by men within our own government to literally "sell" women. I don't mean by the hour as a prostitute - but I mean "sell" outright never to be heard from again. When we've each refused - we've been arrested - then the major media hits to glamourize our lives -and then a "successor" is flushed out to take our place. In my day they did this to flush out Heidi Fleiss. After Heidi, Kristin Davis, was flushed out. http://www.salon.com/2008/05/05/dc_madam_2/
Only now with the internet - the days of the "old school madam" are gone. We've been replaced with sites like "Backpage" for those "independent" of the trafficking rings. So now you have an idea why when the show "8 Minutes" was staged - they made it appear that the calls were coming from "Backpage". The media has been going after sites such as Backpage, Myredbook, etc. all under the "smoke screen" that they're doing this to "fight trafficking".
http://www.fbi.gov/sanfrancisco/press-releases/2014/california-operators-of-myredbook.com-website-arrested-for-facilitating-prostitution-and-money-laundering
Only trafficking isn't on those sites. Not in the sense I'm talking about. Is there prostitution? Of course. Is there pimping? Absolutely. But are those sites being used for the organized crime network that trafficks men, women, children, and transgenders in the manner in which I'm speaking? Not go near it because those are the sites they're attacking to get control of the ones that don't belong to their organization.
Let me show you how they used to try and gain control of the "independents" using a badge by talking about Chris Butler. http://willibys-corruptjustice.blogspot.com/2011/05/history-of-drug-dealing-cops-part-iii.html Chris was a retired cop who became a private investigator (identical by the way to Kevin Brown and Greg Reese featured with the "8 Minutes" situation).
Chris then opened up his own prostitution ring - where he would then bang on other prostitutes' doors demanding they either "give him his cut or else". Since all he had to do was make one phone call and an officer would be there with a packet of drugs to arrest them - his job was pretty easy up until he finally got brought down. Only people get smarter and hidden cameras get smaller - so one can't do things like he did now can they if the ring itself is to continue to vye for control.
So the "independents" or the part-timers, or the dabblers, or mom's who turn a trick or two to feed the kids - advertise on sites like Backpage or myredbook.
That's where the "independents" are advertising. So what we're witnessing right now Mr. Chaffetz is a turf war - where the traffickers are trying to take over the "rogues" and "independents" ug our very own government, legal system and even major media. Not unlike when Rudolph Guiliani used our government to take down the old Italian mob - so now we have the gangs who have risen up to take over power.
Only now they have retired cops showing up banging on their doors handing over the National Trafficking Hotline number. Know why? They tell them "that's what you're going to get if you try and call for help". They deny the groups that really can help them - and if anyone has a camera running - they get to say "I was doing outreach" to cover their ass. That's what's going on in the "anti-trafficking" field and why even sex workers are criticizing the "rescue industry" that's clearly not rescuing anyone BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT THEIR GOAL IS.
Not when the Aryan Lynwood Viking gang has a pretty good grip on our police force right now. To see how good of a grip - you might want to read up on the Paul Tanaka case. He was able to "lose" the witness against him in the jail for three whole days. http://ktla.com/2013/05/16/witness-protection-lost-track-of-2-terror-suspects/
When the FBI agent demanded he be returned - two more cops went to her home to threaten her. The only person who got in trouble in that case was the cop who smuggled the "lost" witness a cell phone to call for help. So everything is a little "topsy turvy" in my view right now Mr. Chaffetz.
And I need a way to help victims like those at that strip club who I might be able to get to now because of this arrest hitting the news. Now if I can figure out a way to help this woman who begged me for help in Pasadena - we'll have accomplished something. It's really been hard now that I'm not just fighting cops - but now major media! Urgh!
Thanks!

I'm writing you about these articles about the DEA and strip clubs.
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/dea-sex-parties-colombia-report-116413.html
and then - http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/dea-agents-illegally-ran-new-jersey-strip-club-prosecutors-article-1.2229169
I'd also like to introduce myself if I might. My name is Jody Williams and I'm the founder of not only Sex Workers Anonymous, but the very modern day movement to have sex trafficking recognized so that victims may receive PROPER assistance.
I say "proper" in this manner - trafficking in the USA today is not the same as it is in China, Thailand, India, etc. Nor is "trafficking" the same as prostitution as many people in the major media are trying to cram down our throats today. I don't know where you are on the page here on this subject - so please forgive me if I start at the beginning to make sure we are on the same page.
I've attached an article I wrote recently about the movement I founded to have trafficking victims, and their needs recognized. I've also attached my resume to give you an idea how long I've been in this movement.
Because in modern day America sex trafficking involves men like these DEA agents for one thing. They own strip clubs and then suddenly voila! These women are entertaining at a Columbia drug cartel party.
Now I ask you this - what happens when they decide they want to leave? Don't you think men like this might be a tad "worried" what these women might talk about knowing or to who?
This is why once we did obtain federal recognition that trafficking was in fact real after punching it out with the media, the public, and the government for 20 years - that there was an immediate major media backlash to try and create more "disinformation" about what modern day domestic sex trafficking is as well as what these victims need in order to truly leave and escape trafficking.
Women like those in that club can't go to some homeless shelter for help to escape. Even if they did, some DEA agent, or his buddies, flash a badge and they're found in one minute. Then guess what? Another guy with a badge shows up and says "I need to speak to her" and then she's gone.
This is why I knew I couldn't go to places like this when I was running from men who I'd witnessed involved in trafficking in "my day" that were police, CIA, FBI, etc. I knew I wouldn't be safe. As it was in my case, I'd already had two dead people in connection with people trying to silence me for fear of what I'd say back then. Barely escaping with my life - that's why I formed a group to reach out and help others to escape, Sex Workers Anonymous.
Because all over the country - I was hearing about women who had been desperate enough to run to the nearest homeless or domestic violence shelter, or even drug program - where this guy with a badge had shown up asking for them never to be heard from again. The staff at these shelters would tell me they'd ask "what happened to her?" only to be told "classified" when in reality she's just been cut up and thrown out in the desert or off the pier - or better yet sold for snuff films or her organs sold so at least the traffickers could pick up a few extra bucks.
Only let me explain something to you very few people want to hear about things like organ harvesting from those dead hookers - this isn't done in some hotel room with butter knifes like the movies make you think is what happens. Organ harvesting is done with sophisticated machines and technology that requires a trained doctor to know how to do, and specialized equipment to perform these procedures, and a lot of paperwork to get the organs transplanted. Snuff films are also not cheap to produce nor to get viewed. So those movies aren't aired in back alleys - but in very "high class" board and bedrooms of very wealthy people. In other words - it's not what you'd led to believe in movies it is or who is doing these things.
There are only pretty much two programs I'm aware of in this country that can safely help this type of victim disappear when a trafficker with a badge is going to be looking for them (or a trafficker who can hire a man with a badge). Which is why since 2007 when we got that federal recognition and I gave a press conference about this you can read about on www.hightechmadam.com - I challenge you to find any major media about either Sex Workers Anonymous, or Children of the Night, www.childrenofthenight.org written since 2007.
If you do find some - I'd venture it's been "faked". Like this wonderful piece of "disinformation" - http://www.thefix.com/content/addicted-to-prostitution-60072?page=all This article claims to have me living in Los Angeles in 1996 supposedly bringing male prostitutes chicken soup to their homes and asking them to write out "john" lists for "amends". What a crock!
I can show you other reporters who have been fired just for trying to write about us, while I have a long list of many others who will tell you they were threatened with their jobs if they tried to write even a word about us. The few who did write about us were not only fired - but some even threatened physically. Bob Herbert of the NY Times was threatened by ex-mob mayor Oscar Goodman with a "baseball bat to the head if he ever sets foot back in Las Vegas" after writing about me and the subject of SWA.
To show you how far this goes - I'd like to point you to Relativity Media. Not only did they film the show we helped to get pulled off the air "8 Minutes", but they also currently film a series inside the Orange County, CA jail, along with the series "Intervention" and "Catfish". They also filmed the series "Gigolos" and were connected to the brief episode that aired on Bravo with Annie Lobert from Hookers for Jesus.
"Catfish" is a show where it's exposed that people are not who they pretend to be online - and that people are sometimes even engaged to profiles who don't even exist. "Gigolo's" was a fantasy show dubbed "reality" about a bunch straight male escorts in Las Vegas. The jail show has cameras going in and out of jail in Orange County, CA - even into cells marked as "isolation". The show "Intervention" is showing people trying to confront addicts to convince them to enter into treatment.
All of these may seem "disconnected" until you realize Tom Forman produced all of them and that A&E, Bravo, Showtime, and NBC are all connected to Disney, ABC and Hearst Media. The series "Intervention" also explains how a fake article about me popped up supposedly being this woman running meetings in Los Angeles in 1996 in an addiction related magazine. The fact he also produces "catfish" could explain how the knowledge to fake someone entirely is there
.
Oh don't get me wrong - there was a woman sayings she was "Jody Williams" and holding "Sex Workers Anonymous" meetings in Los Angeles at that time. She even had a website up, and she was applying for grants. Grants for $300,000 to open up a "drop in" center in Pasadena, California that when I had a friend of mine at Impact House in Pasadena go by and check it out - only to find a vacant building. I reported the use of my name for this $300,000 grant to the police - only to read everyone else on her board had been arrested but the woman pretending to be me who turned out to be "Anne Bissell" or "Juliette Chandler" (I don't know what her real name is actually - but those are two she goes by online.) Since everyone was arrested but her - kind of tells me she must have "turned" on the others on her board to get immunity.
This wasn't the last time I had dealings with Pasadena, California either. Right now I'm trying to help some victims leave this trafficking ring that spans this country, into others like Russia and China, etc. The heads of one of these "under" rings as I call them reside in Pasadena, California. I call them "under" rings - because the Triad, Yakuza, Mexican Cartel, Bloods, Crips, and other "minority" gangs now have the Aryan gangs connected with the bikers "overseeing" them is the way the structure has been explained to me exists now that the old Italian mobs are no longer in control like they used to be. Not since Juliani came after the mob to break it up.
When I met with this victim in Pasadena who begged me to help her - she told me of how she had fake arrests posted on her criminal record. Then she explained she couldn't leave because they would just post more fake charges on her record,and get her deported to China where they would then get her executed by the state. They had evidently drugged her and then posed her in porn along with her almost identical looking sister. Back in China, "incest porn" is met with a death penalty - and she's been threatened with these pictures if they deport her if she tries to leave this operation.
We hired her an attorney to help who ordered her booking tape of these arrests. He was then threatened by another attorney and resigned from the case. When I went back to speak to her - I then got threatened by the same attorney. When that didn't stop me I got threatened by a Pasadena police officer. His chief ignored me so I went to the city and district attorney who ignored me. I went to the CA US Attorney who ignored me. When I pushed on her - she announced she'd running for Senate, i.e., bailed.
When I went back to city council - they were missing $6,000,000 and a little busy. I went to Internal Affairs - who said the files were being burned over the city council's objection and even the mayor. When a judge pushed for an audit of the station which cost $190,000 - it was done by the Veritas Assurance Group. Only the only information I can find on them is they sell legal insurance plans on a LinkedIn page. https://www.linkedin.com/company/2214511?trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Acompany%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1432699743387%2Ctas%3Averitas%20assurance No insurance number on that site either I'd like to add. No staff listing, no idea how long they've been in business, etc. The report was done by Ron Sanchez (the chief is Phillip Sanchez), but Michael Beck, the city manager, tells me they're "not related". http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/government-and-politics/20150313/pasadena-police-detective-tactics-criticized-for-nearly-crossing-line-of-legality-new-audit-says
Since this report claims that things like detectives bragging they can "fake a homicide" if they wanted to an be fixed by getting more "funding and training" you can see why I'd like to speak to the people working on this audit of the Pasadena Police - especially with all that's going on right now. http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/general-news/20140702/tape-pasadena-homicide-detective-bragged-about-framing-suspects-lying-to-get-conviction
Now if you think these strippers out of that club in NJ might have a hard time being believed if they'd tried to get help before this arrest - you can imagine how hard of a time our woman, I'm going to call her "Music" is having with her traffickers. Being that they've faked her a complete criminal history, drugged her and staged her in "fake" incest porn, threatened her and her son, threatened us, monitor every phone call and every interaction with modern technology, threaten people trying to help her like us using cops, attorney's, and private investigators taking tips right out of a "CoinintelPro" handbook trying to get me to "back off" while trying to discredit me so no one will listen to her situation - then you can see how we felt it was also necessary to film what she'd dealing with so we could get not just her help, but the many many women who are a part of this ring that are being trafficked all over this country right now - and worse.
But when I organized a film crew to come out and help me do a "real" documentary about what "really" is happening in the USA today with respect to sex trafficking - our crew was all chased off the project.
Why? Can't let what we're filming upset what was being filmed to come out on "8 Minutes" that bore no connection at all to the reality of the sex industry today that's billed as "reality" TV.
Why? To make real victims sound crazy when they step forward no different than they do when people see lights in the sky and the media tries to say it's "weather balloons" or "flares". But it goes farther than just simple "disinformation" when I'm having whole stories about our group and myself impersonated and faked by large corporations which all seem to keep coming up under the mantle of Hearst Media.
I mean honestly - if the women at that strip club in NJ were to come forward before this arrest hit the news and say that they "worked in a club owned by DEA agents" and had been "forced onto a plane to Columbia" where they were further forced to "dance and entertain Columbian drug dealers and the Columbian police were told to hold their guns while the DEA cavorted around with prostitutes" - tell me how much they'd be believed?
Let's examine the word "forced" for a minute too. Let's say you're a stripper working at that strip club. Let's say you walked in there on your own and you made a decision to work there. I'm sure they don't post on the door as you walk in a sign saying "owned by DEA agents". So you find out after you're hired - that they do in fact own that club. These guys now have a copy of your ID, and they know where you live. They know where your kids go to school. They know where your mother lives. Then these come to you and "ask" you if you'd like to "go to Columbia to dance for some cartel dealers". Anyone would probably think "hell no I don't want to go" - but would you say "no?" Would you really be standing there in front of two DEA agents and say to them "no I don't want to go" knowing that they know where you live, your real name, where your kids go to school, etc. Then think about telling them you want to quit? So in these guys' minds - "oh no I didn't force anyone - I didn't put a gun to anyone's head" but that's not how it works is it?
I remember watching an interview with Henry Hill about how they fixed that infamous college basketball game. He laughed saying "I didn't threaten anyone - I just asked the guy 'I don't how one would play basketball with a broken arm'" as he winked to the camera. So are you going to tell me that wasn't a threat either against that player? The problem with sex trafficking is that it's rarely done with a gun standing over someone.
Then ask yourself - where would these women go for help where these agents, scared of what these women might say, couldn't follow them? Now take one step further - imagine that it's 1984 when people didn't even believe this kind of thing existed AT ALL - and now you have an idea what I've been dealing with in the 1970's, 1980's - and why I formed our group to help these types of victims.
The problem with laying down with dogs is that you get fleas. One who tends to protect the secrets of the sex industry, and the traffickers connected to it - also tend to be "patrons" or "johns" or "hobbyists" or "clients" or whatever word you want to use. http://jezebel.com/these-sexts-cost-former-hearst-exec-scott-sassa-his-car-471590787 Then if you do something that dog doesn't like - well you just get bit and replaced with someone who will.
Which is what happened to Steve Sassa - a man who used to be in control of Hearst Media. Or even what happened with the case of the "Chinese prostitutes" and Glaxo Pharmaceuticals - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/pharmaceuticalsandchemicals/10183798/GSKs-treatment-in-China-will-be-a-warning-to-others.html But these are only what has broken in the news! Imagine the other stories we don't know about!
I saw an interview with Ronald Kessler recently however that explained why all of us, not just those who are sex workers or their customers, need to be concerned about any of this. Because the problem here is that it's not about "sex" - it's about security. To think that this is about "sex" is like thinking that "rape" is about "sex" because both appear to be "sex" on the surface - but in reality things are much more complex.
Ronald explained that secret service agents were letting in prostitutes into the White House completely "off the books" where they could be carrying a bomb, anthrax, who knows. They could leave "mikes" behind or worse. They're let into back rooms without even being checked with metal detectors for that matter first - let alone any background checks done on them to see what their political ties, or even criminal history is first before giving them this kind of delicate access to the very inner workings and people of our government. Who knows if they're "customers" are forced into giving campaign contributions even to cloud where they're coming from.
It's not the "independent" prostitutes I'm worried about - but those who are being controlled or trafficked. The problem is that these "clients" don't know how to tell the difference. I mean look at Steve Sassa - he said he "didn't think she had a pimp because she was found on a high class escort site". So what? What about the Google executive murdered by a woman he found on "Sugar Babies". Women on there argue they aren't even "prostitutes" because they're paid by the month instead of the hour. Come on - denial isn't just a river in Egypt here folks.
Many are arguing that "legalization" is the answer. However, I've seen "legalization" up close in my work with Nevada's legal brothels and I assure you this makes it even WORSE. This requires a licensing process that will prevent people like these victims from EVER getting any job outside of that industry ever. Imagine someone allowing a woman to become an attorney, a doctor, get a seat on Wall Street, or even work around small children for that matter if her background check turns up "prostitute". Even now if one catches HIV while "on the job" there is no workers compensation, disability, or vocational rehabilitation for that "worker". Plus if anyone remembers what Joe Conforte was like - trust me a lot depends upon who is the owner of that brothel. Or did anyone forget the scene in the "Godfather" where a hooker was murdered to set up a politician was referring to Joe Conforte?
Which is why men today who see prostitutes are subject to blackmail. Look at Steve Sassa. We also don't really know what secrets were leaked, nor what stock market manipulations were going on behind Glaxo Pharmaceuticals (or Google for that matter) either during this time http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/pharmaceuticalsandchemicals/10183798/GSKs-treatment-in-China-will-be-a-warning-to-others.html
We have no idea what Steve for example was being asked to do in reality that when he balked at it - they got him fired. How do I know if it wasn't to approve the funding of this "8 Minutes" which was "catfishing" America about sex trafficking is?
People are voting on Bills right now and also there's open lawsuits going on right now about Backpage - don't tell me this show didn't have an impact on what people think. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/01/city_of_portland_san_francisco.html Shows like this are why people are sequestered during murder trials so as "not to taint" the jury! http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jul/30/nation/la-na-nn-backpage-washington-lawsuits-20120729
If anything, his firing was a message to others that you don't want to risk going against these people and what they want or they'll do to you what they did to him, or did to Eliot Spitzer when they leaked a tape of him to the media, or even to Donald Banks recently who I believe is the victim of a "reverse blackmail" sting. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/gay-porn-star-extortion-case-897653
I think part of the reason Sony got hacked was to send a message. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/02/sony-hacking-seth-rogen-evan-goldberg The hacking was done at a time when we'd put together our own resources to film our own documentary about what "really" is going on out there with the sex trafficking in this country. I was talking to many reporters and producers at NBC about not filming this bogus stuff - but in fact helping us air the "real" stuff. I even found an editor who had worked at Sony for 12 years, and knew many of the executives there, to help us get this documentary made and aired - before the hacking.
When suddenly they couldn't even get theaters to air a Seth Rogan and James Franco comedy - what do you think they thought of their chances of airing something about Chinese espionage and biker gangs and Aryan police officers and the Bush family's connection with trafficking went over?
They got their spanking and everyone at NBC shut the door on us after that also. I will tell you another reason why these traffickers don't want us having any access to major media as well as why they want to be totally in control which they were showing they are with this Sony hacking - and that's about blackmail.
They want to show they're the ones who get to say who is blackmailed and who isn't. As an example - if anyone were to have said that Donald Banks was seeing male prostitutes, and even maybe seeing underage male prostitutes - he could have slapped them with an injunction and a defamation lawsuit. However, by telling him that the police would arrest this person, and by promising to "keep his name out of the lawsuit" - he believed them.
Then his name was "leaked" to the press and there's nothing he can do about what's now "public record". The blackmail threat was sent via text message which could have been sent from any google phone which can be "spoofed" to appear to come from any phone the sender wants to make it appear came from - which again is what they did with Steve and many other victims I've been speaking to in connection with this ring.
Because I'll tell you what effect this case had upon the mind of the average "john" after not just the Sony hacking - but also Donald's case being leaked to the media and that's for the future victims of this type of blackmail to pay the money and keep your mouth shut. I ought to know because I am not only two classes away from my BA degree in psychology, but I've been studying brainwashing, and the human mind with respect to the sex industry since I was a teenager and I'm 54 year old now.
This message was a loud and clear to pay the money and keep your mouth shut when extorted that was sent when the police told Donald "don't worry we know what we're doing" and the blackmailers I'm sure warned him not to go to the police!
Traffickers now are like wolves in sheep's clothing. This is why the windows district in Amsterdam said it was shutting it down in 2007 - not because of the prostitution but because of the "trafficking" in connection to it. http://globalnews.ca/news/540131/amsterdam-turns-out-the-red-lights-in-famed-district/
These criminals are only appearing to be using prostitutes to lure wealthy and powerful men into the web that's become so dangerous that the UK government has already started warning their people, and many wealthy and powerful business owners about some of these scams - unlike what we're doing in this country because the media is wanting to throw out outdated images of the sex industry instead of current ones so as to keep feeding new victims into the system. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11351232/Malaysian-businessman-bribed-dozens-of-US-Navy-officers-with-prostitutes-and-suckling-pigs.html We also have a very hard time talking about sex in general in this country - look at the recent story of Josh Duggar as one good example of that!
Men who think they're just getting a "good time" based on images in the media about what the sex industry "used" to be - are instead winding up in a tar patch they don't know how to get out of nor know where to go for help. This is why honestly I'm getting more calls from the "customers" each year also. Men who thought they were "just going to a strip club" or "just going for a quick blow job" - only to find their lives suddenly turned upside down.
Take Rick Rizzolo was just one example I can speak about because it's in the news. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/former-topless-club-owner-rick-rizzolo-indicted-tax-evasion-charges He would drug his customers at the Crazy Horse strip club with enough GHB to knock out 10 men, max out their credit cards, and then put them into cabs home.
The cab drivers were all also owned by another strip club owner so the drivers would know the drill. Not only not take them to a hospital because of how they were acting while drugged - but also to be sure NOT to bring them to me. Those who would bring a victim to me - was fired. How did they know? GPS and cameras in the cabs. Then they would tell the drivers they could see everywhere the cab was going and everything going on inside the cab. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/limo-ceo-aides-plead-guilty-las-vegas-racketeering-conspiracy So for years we used to get cab drivers who would help a woman in trouble by taking her right to our door - only to have a local strip club owner buy the cab company, tell the drivers there was a "new sheriff in town" and if they "wanted their jobs they wouldn't even so much as speak Jody's name to a prostitute in their cab".
When the customer would complain to the club the next day - they were ignored. When they went to Chief Gillespie - he ignored them before he stepped down on corruption charges. https://nevadastatepersonnelwatch.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/fifteen-members-of-las-vegas-sheriff-douglas-gillespies-organization-have-been-served-with-a-federal-complaint/
When they went to the DA - they were met with David Shubert, who died last year from drugs. That was pointless as he would do whatever his drug source would tell him to do. If they asked for tapes from the cabs - they were told the tapes had been "destroyed". http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/crime-courts/death-troubles-piled-ex-prosecutor-Schubert
Internal Affairs? There was none until after I complained for so many years about a lack of one - they put a typist, Karen Hughes, in charge of vice, the sex trafficking task force, and also on the board for Internal Affairs. Trust me - anyone who even asks about us to help them is told that "Jody is just crazy" so they don't think to come talk to me about what's going on. Those who do anyway are then told by Karen that I'm "just crazy" and to discount me. Not realizing that I'm not just "me" - but a group comprised of 1,000's of members over 30 years all over the world. I'm just the one who interfaces with the public so the rest can maintain their "anonymity" and not be attacked.
Is this really just about some money and prostitution? Not when it escalates to murder or involves murder. Buffalo Jim used to operate a wrestling school across the street from the Crazy Horse club that Rizzolo ran. When things would get crazy and these strippers would just want out of there - they'd literally run across to his school where they'd physically be safe because of being guarded by the wrestlers. I'd get a call and we'd get the women out of state actually to safety because Rick had a lot of powerful "friends". He supposedly bought information from an Orange County police officer while incarcerated. The day after Rick was released from prison - a death threat was left on Jim's car. The next day Jim was found dead in a hotel room.
The videotape showed a hooker with him checking into that room. However, I know he may very well have been asked to get that woman that room and to come sit with her while I was called. After his death - there were protests in the streets about the case - but no toxicology report would be released. His daughter suspecting a "rat" also snuck into the coroners' office and found the report which said Jim had enough GHB in his system to kill 10 men. The news just broadcast that "drugs" were found in his system. No case was ever opened to investigate his death.
The officials also had to spread the rumors I was "crazy" to cover up fresh information I was getting in the Jessie Foster case. They had to do something because I kept getting new members coming into our program telling me new things about her death, and her pimp they suspected murdered her along with other escorts and even a madam who went missing in connection with him also. When I had fresh information from incoming members about her murder, and others in the ring, I would go to the police to investigate what I was being told. Only they're ignore me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Jessie_Foster
So I'd go to the task force when it was someone other than Karen - and was ignored. Then I'd go to the FBI where then I'd get threatened with a 5150 and having my kid taken away. So I went to Jessie's mother. So they had to convince her I was just "crazy" to make sure she wouldn't listen to the fact I had fresh information in the case that no one was following up on.
Why? Because if Peter Todd, her pimp, gets arrested - then he lets out all kinds of secrets no one wants released about what else is going on out here in the sex industry.
So Mr. Chaffetz - I understand you were responsible for bringing this story to light about the DEA agents because you didn't view this as just some "harmless sex party". Not when Columbian police are handed guns from our agents to hold - no it's not "harmless". Especially when this is only the "version" we were given. Thank you. It helps me get my message across easier when we talk about "trafficking" today is not just some African American male sitting in a Cadillac wearing a fedora and sporting a cane. That's an archaic stereotype that is different than what I define as a "trafficker".
There is also a difference between "prostitution" and also "sex trafficking". Just as a farmer is different than a victim of human trafficking forced to work on a farm - or any trafficking victim in any industry. I've also always said the only way we're ever going to be able to get these people arrested is to "decriminalize" the industry so that victims are not treated as "criminals" by our legal system where witnesses are then considered "accomplices".
I appreciate any work you did to get this story out because it helps me explain what we're really dealing with today in Sex Workers Anonymous. Now - if I can just get the media to help us tell these men, women and transgenders, about our program, and groups like Children of the Night, for those under 18 years of age, who can protect and help rehabilitate them, then that be even more of an accomplishment.
But I can't seem to get our name into any major media since 2007 - nor even invited to any congressional hearings because everyone seems very bent on the idea of portraying "victims of trafficking" by showing images of street prostitution.
What a great way for the traffickers to be hiding plain sight" isn't it? I mean why else spend all that money to create a completely "staged" show like the did with "8 Minutes" using images of street prostitutes they called "victims of trafficking" and even using the National Trafficking Hotline number after Polaris had even asked them not to use their number in connection to the show - while chasing off our film crew from doing a shoot of what "real" trafficking in Los Angeles looks like where the victims aren't threatened by men like Bishop Don Juan - but instead attorney's, police officers, politicians, and even DEA agents.
Then of course up comes the smoke screen about how we need to put more money into homeless shelters or other programs that have no such consideration for the fact the criminals these victims are running from today in the USA are bikers and men with badges for which the "typical" shelters, program, treatment centers, etc. are not equipped to deal with situations where even "witness protection" isn't safe. That's what needs to be recognized if we're going to help true victims of "trafficking", again not sex workers, but victims of trafficking, in this country.
Mr. Chaffetz - we've had it finally come out in the news that there's been "fake" survivors like Somaly Mam, http://www.thenation.com/article/180132/sex-trafficking-lies-money-lessons-somaly-mam-scandal and Ben Hillier (who the film "Taken" was based upon) - but a lot of people aren't asking "why?" nor why only since 2007 have these fakes hit our media and lecture circuits and awards tables. http://www.tbd.com/articles/2011/01/bill-hillar-inspiration-for-film-taken-arrested-by-fbi-47382.html
The show "8 Minutes" also shows that we now have "fake" groups and outreaches even - something I've been also yelling about since 2007 only to have people just respond with "oh she's crazy" so they don't have to look at the facts. People aren't asking "why did Kevin Brown and Greg Reese lie?" in connection with this show. Nor are they asking "where did the money go?" that was being donated by people who also thought it was "real".
When I ask these questions - people just say "oh Jody you're crazy" rather than answer the questions. I'm used to that as I got some of my early support when I left the industry from a holocaust support group. They warned me about "Moishe" - the man who tried to warn people not to get on the trains. I was also warned about Kurt Gerstein - the man who also tried to warn people that Jews, and others, were being mass exterminated using his crystals to gas them to death in a process that sometimes too people two days to die. They also would say he was "crazy" so they could discount him rather than listen and respond.
Kevin Brown and this so called "outreach" are not unique. Because I've also been calling around many of these groups across the country that I have been seeing shown on TV, in documentaries, in the news, etc. - only to find out they're entirely "fake" as well as the "fake" survivors" and the fake outreach as well as even "fake" prostitutes now. Just like people told Moishe he was crazy when he would tell people "there are no jobs if you get on those trains" - so too have I been hearing I'm "crazy" when I tell people I'm calling one "fake" program after another that I've seen on TV. The same for "fake" survivors". Because "8 Minutes" also hired women to "act" as victims on that show.
Again why? One reason is because they don't want the truth about the industry, or what "real" victims, are dealing with today. Now I'm not saying they don't use "real" sex workers from time to time. But to me - to put on Gordon Ramsey, a well paid very famous chef, and ask him to speak about what a person who is being "trafficked" into the restaurant industry experiences - guess what? He's going to deny that even exists because someone like him doesn't see something like that. So all in all - it's very clever use of propaganda to try and help people form opinions by asking the Gordon Ramsey equivalent of the sex industry about sex trafficking - because of course they're going to deny any knowledge of such things. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist - just means he doesn't see it is all.
Which they're getting advice from the best now - believe me in just how to do such type of deception. http://www.democracynow.org/2015/5/7/robert_jay_lifton_author_of_the Robert Jay Lifton has come forward now taking about the kind of "advice" that our CIA has been receiving from experts in the mind for purposes on how to control people's minds. Here Mr. Lifton speaks about how our CIA receiving this training for "torture" purposes - but believe me there was more to this than just that. The series "Lie to Me" was also based on a man who has consulted with our government on how the mind works.
If you watch the show Derren Brown did on how he can convince someone to even admit to a murder they never actually committed, as well how he convinced someone to pick up a gun and shoot someone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P2vYIgPdKg and then re-watch the "8 Minutes" show trying to convince us that a "prostitute" is a "trafficking victim" - you might have a whole new perspective on this show that tries to convince the viewer that in watching these women who are "prostitutes" walk into that hotel room while repeating the word "victim victim victim" at least 10 times I counted in the opening five minutes of the show - you might have a different perspective on what I mean by "they're brainwashing us in the media" after watching Derren's program.
Because what's happening right now Mr. Chaffetz is very powerful people are trying to convince America that trafficking and prostitution are the same for many reasons. They're not. Nor is the sex industry as "harmless" either - especially now that we have other countries like China using it as a means of robbing this country blind, and also for espionage.
Because "trafficking" against isn't street prostitution. Nor does espionage take place with street prostitutes either. I invite you to check out this article. http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/chinese-professors-among-six-defendants-charged-economic-espionage-and-theft-trade-secrets I'd like you to know these men were also dealing with students and professors in colleges like USC. I'd also like to add that Brandy Britton was a university professor before she was found hung in her home after a prostitution arrest.
Brandy Britton was the prostitute that David Vitter was seeing while she as working under Jeane Palfrey, the woman dubbed the DC Madam by the media when she was arrested.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/29/AR2007012900654.html
Jeane could have just taken a plea bargain when she was arrested - but she didn't. Probably for why she was arrested. Every "single white female" madam that's hit the news when arrested - including myself - has been approached by men within our own government to literally "sell" women. I don't mean by the hour as a prostitute - but I mean "sell" outright never to be heard from again. When we've each refused - we've been arrested - then the major media hits to glamourize our lives -and then a "successor" is flushed out to take our place. In my day they did this to flush out Heidi Fleiss. After Heidi, Kristin Davis, was flushed out. http://www.salon.com/2008/05/05/dc_madam_2/
Only now with the internet - the days of the "old school madam" are gone. We've been replaced with sites like "Backpage" for those "independent" of the trafficking rings. So now you have an idea why when the show "8 Minutes" was staged - they made it appear that the calls were coming from "Backpage". The media has been going after sites such as Backpage, Myredbook, etc. all under the "smoke screen" that they're doing this to "fight trafficking".
http://www.fbi.gov/sanfrancisco/press-releases/2014/california-operators-of-myredbook.com-website-arrested-for-facilitating-prostitution-and-money-laundering
Only trafficking isn't on those sites. Not in the sense I'm talking about. Is there prostitution? Of course. Is there pimping? Absolutely. But are those sites being used for the organized crime network that trafficks men, women, children, and transgenders in the manner in which I'm speaking? Not go near it because those are the sites they're attacking to get control of the ones that don't belong to their organization.
Let me show you how they used to try and gain control of the "independents" using a badge by talking about Chris Butler. http://willibys-corruptjustice.blogspot.com/2011/05/history-of-drug-dealing-cops-part-iii.html Chris was a retired cop who became a private investigator (identical by the way to Kevin Brown and Greg Reese featured with the "8 Minutes" situation).
Chris then opened up his own prostitution ring - where he would then bang on other prostitutes' doors demanding they either "give him his cut or else". Since all he had to do was make one phone call and an officer would be there with a packet of drugs to arrest them - his job was pretty easy up until he finally got brought down. Only people get smarter and hidden cameras get smaller - so one can't do things like he did now can they if the ring itself is to continue to vye for control.
So the "independents" or the part-timers, or the dabblers, or mom's who turn a trick or two to feed the kids - advertise on sites like Backpage or myredbook.
That's where the "independents" are advertising. So what we're witnessing right now Mr. Chaffetz is a turf war - where the traffickers are trying to take over the "rogues" and "independents" ug our very own government, legal system and even major media. Not unlike when Rudolph Guiliani used our government to take down the old Italian mob - so now we have the gangs who have risen up to take over power.
Only now they have retired cops showing up banging on their doors handing over the National Trafficking Hotline number. Know why? They tell them "that's what you're going to get if you try and call for help". They deny the groups that really can help them - and if anyone has a camera running - they get to say "I was doing outreach" to cover their ass. That's what's going on in the "anti-trafficking" field and why even sex workers are criticizing the "rescue industry" that's clearly not rescuing anyone BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT THEIR GOAL IS.
Not when the Aryan Lynwood Viking gang has a pretty good grip on our police force right now. To see how good of a grip - you might want to read up on the Paul Tanaka case. He was able to "lose" the witness against him in the jail for three whole days. http://ktla.com/2013/05/16/witness-protection-lost-track-of-2-terror-suspects/
When the FBI agent demanded he be returned - two more cops went to her home to threaten her. The only person who got in trouble in that case was the cop who smuggled the "lost" witness a cell phone to call for help. So everything is a little "topsy turvy" in my view right now Mr. Chaffetz.
And I need a way to help victims like those at that strip club who I might be able to get to now because of this arrest hitting the news. Now if I can figure out a way to help this woman who begged me for help in Pasadena - we'll have accomplished something. It's really been hard now that I'm not just fighting cops - but now major media! Urgh!
Thanks!
