Is MAGA Washington a network held together by mutually-implied blackmail?

Ned Resnikoff
‪@resnikoff.bsky.social‬
I’m not sure it even counts as a conspiracy theory, but one theory I totally believe is that MAGA Washington is held together by a network of mutual implied blackmail. Hundreds or thousands of sex criminals who all know each other’s secrets.

Only reasonable conclusions based on job appointments and roster.

As I recall one of the female Dem members of congress after J6, said she was terrified
that the mob would rape her.

I thought that was an interesting comment, why did she specifically fear that specific act.

Now we know the answer to that question.

They may be afraid to be honest or face rape in the workplace.

It is a hostile work environment and no one will help them.

Hopefully there's a women's support group of some kind that could work with them, but until we eradicate the nazis, support of any kind for everyone will be fading fast.

But many people don't realize it yet or in fact love it and approve of it.

And we appear to have limited cohesive leadership currently.

So our options are severely curtailed.

I've read certain Dems are saying they will be "working with" the nazis.

That's the absolutely wrong approach. We gain nothong from them, at all, and our only hope to save the Democracy (let alone thousands of lives) is to aggressively oppose and defeat them.

It is an exercise in futility.

Maybe leadership is just buying time to come up with a plan?

People usually have to learn things the hard way, so we face a steep learning curve.

It was Bill Barr and TSFs FBI who collected all of that "evidence". You really think any of it still exists? The whole thing was prolly designed to erase TSF from all of it.

I'm sure most, if not all of them have been committing a wide variety of other crimes, as well. A whole lot of them are drunks and drug addicts, too. The GOP isn't a party. It's a criminal racket.

If a member of the Magat party goes against the party, he/she will be primaried with multi-millions of dollars going to someone else.

That's if they have no dirt on the politician.

I've been the target of political threats (although on a vastly smaller scale) and have stood up at "meetings" and
responded to those threats with "Give it your best shot." It really isn't so difficult if you have no personal gain that's threatened. But we know in this present day environment that's questionable.

Women in South Korea and Japan have been doing a modified strike for some time.
They refuse to have sex with men, have children or get married.
They are done with traditional female roles.

They live in countries hostile to women.

Exactly what I'm referring to here. That's what needs to happen here, widespread and determined. And we might even add some dedication to Cecile Richards too.

The Ghost of Roy Cohn

BY TERRY MELANSON · AUGUST 24, 2014

EXCERPT...

In an interview with former NYPD detective James Rothstein, this author discovered that such operations do exist and go far back into America’s secret history. Rothstein is no conspiracy theorist. He is a legend in American law enforcement and speaks from experience. Furthermore, he gave me two notable examples from his time as a detective. Rothstein had an opportunity to have a sit-down with infamous McCarthy committee counsel Roy Cohn. During this sit-down, Cohn admitted to Rothstein that he was part of a rather elaborate sexual blackmail operation that compromised politicians with child prostitutes (Rothstein, no pagination). Cohn told Rothstein that this operation was being carried out as part of the anticommunist crusade of the time (no pagination).

Rothstein also had an opportunity to speak to infamous Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis. During this conversation, Sturgis revealed one of the reasons for breaking into the Watergate. According to Sturgis, there was a “Pedophile Book” hidden away at the Democratic National Committee headquarters (no pagination). The book was supposed to have a list of pedophiles on the American political scene (no pagination). One can only imagine the power G. Gordon Liddy would have held over the government if he had such a book in his possession.

I asked Rothstein if Roy Cohn was a real anticommunist or just using the fear of communism to justify his sex ring. It seemed like a fair question. After all, Cohn had argued against homosexuals being schoolteachers when he himself was a homosexual. Perhaps Cohn’s hypocrisy extended to his anticommunism. Rothstein made it clear that Cohn was a genuine anticommunist (no pagination). Anticommunist sentiments aside, evidence suggests that the sex ring operation started by Cohn was used for more than fighting the threat of domestic communists. Fugitive ex-CIA officer Frank Terpil has claimed that sexual blackmailing operations directed by the CIA were intensive in Washington during the Watergate era (DeCamp 179). Terpil also asserts that his former partner, Ed Wilson, was coordinating one of these sexual blackmail operations (179). In a letter to author Jim Hougan, Terpil revealed Wilson’s modus operandi:

“Historically, one of Wilson’s Agency jobs was to subvert members of both houses [of Congress] by any means necessary…. Certain people could be easily coerced by living out their sexual fantasies in the flesh…. A remembrance of these occasions [was] permanently recorded via selected cameras…. The technicians in charge of filming… were TSD [Technical Services Division of the CIA]. The unwitting porno stars advanced in their political careers, some of [whom] may still be in office.” (Qtd. in DeCamp 179)

According to John DeCamp, a former Nebraska Senator and Vietnam War hero, Wilson’s operation was merely a continuation of the one set up by Cohn (179). When I asked James Rothstein if Palfrey’s outfit was a continuation of the sexual blackmail rings that began with Cohn, he answered in the affirmative (Rothstein, pagination). The NYPD veteran made it clear that Palfrey’s outfit could not exist in Washington unless it was a tool for the power elite and sinister factions of the intelligence community (no pagination). Somewhere in a Queens cemetery, the corpse of a high-powered attorney is smiling in his grave.

All the swinging and perversion is for the patriotism. It’s, um, hard work — not fun, the sexual blackmail. Very profitable. And powerful.
