FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
US diplomats are concerned about the impact on the country’s image abroad. And
a former White House aide revealed that the “wings up, rings off” culture of
misbehaviour by some Secret Service agents when they travelled to protect
presidents was pervasive.
“I travelled for years as WH staff advance with the US Secret Service,” he
wrote in an email to National Public Radio in which he asked that his name
not be used.
“There was a culture of adultery among them. The phrase ‘What happens on the
road, stays on the road’ was commonly used by them long before Las Vegas
started using it.
“Adulterous behaviour at times seemed to be a badge of honour among some of
them. [There were] many wonderful agents, but among others there was enough
of this type of behaviour [for me] not to be a surprised by what happened in
Colombia.”
In the Cartagena incident, agents brought prostitutes back to their hotel from
a nightclub where they had been drinking two days before Mr Obama’s arrival
for a regional summit. Eleven members of the US armed forces are also being
investigated separately over similar misconduct allegation.
The Secret Service has sought to portray the scandal as an isolated case for
an agency whose officers are trained to take a bullet for the president and
into whom the necessity of discretion and secrecy is inculcated from the
first day of training.
US politicians and former agents have sought to highlight the professionalism
of the Secret Service and insisted that they do not believe the behaviour
was typical of the agency.
But the focus has now expanded from concerns about potential security lapses
on the Colombia trip to broader fears that a culture of compromising
behaviour exists among agents who guard US leaders — including a team of 200
who travelled with Mr Obama to London.
Mr Chaney, who has about 20 years’ experience with the Secret Service, was a
supervisor in the international programmes division who oversees the work of
junior agents on foreign trips.
The other ousted supervisor, Greg Stokes, also had about two decades of
service and both men were said to have spent “significant time” with the
presidential protection detail.
Mr Chaney’s Facebook page revealed that he had a penchant for carousing in the
company of younger women in exposing outfits.
A belly dancer in a sequined bikini-style top and tight dress performs for him
in one photograph taken during a holiday vacation in Egypt. In another, he
is sandwiched by two attractive women kissing him on each cheek at a school
reunion.
The married agent, who has an adult son, also posted a photograph of him
looking at Mrs Palin from behind her. “Really checking her out”, he noted in
one comment. Mrs Palin responded in a television interview: “Well check this
out, buddy you’re fired!” Mr Obama, who visited Colombia for the Summit of
the Americas, was briefed on the investigation into the scandal on Friday by
Mark Sullivan, the embattled head of the agency.
Secret service officers are in Cartagena this weekend to question the women
who returned with the agents, club-goers, hotel workers, taxi drivers as agency investigators to establish what happened on April 11.
They are also checking whether any of those involved were aged under 18.
Although prostitution is legal in “tolerance zones” in Colombia, any
American who pays for sex overseas with a minor could face prosecution in
the US.
Dania Londono Suarez, the 24-year-old woman at the centre of the controversy,
has gone into hiding after revealing photographs of her in a bikini were
published. She earlier told a New York Times reporter that the scandal
erupted after a dispute about her fee with an agent.
She was variously reported to have agreed a payment of between $250 and $800
with the agent at the nightclub. But the next morning, he would only agree
to pay her about $30 in local currency, she said.
A row broke out and he locked her out of the room. Miss Suarez, who insisted
to the newspaper that she was “an escort, not a prostitute”, was joined by a
woman who had been in another agent’s room as they shouted from outside the
door.
Colombian policemen stationed in the hotel were then alerted, while other US
Secret Service agents tried to block their access to the door. American
diplomats were informed of the incident and they reported the details to
Washington, from where the order was issued for the agents to be recalled.
The men have all had their security clearances cleared while the investigation
continues.
Officials have insisted that the president’s security was not in danger, that
the men’s guns and details of the trip were kept under armed guard in a
secure room and that no evidence of drugs has been found in the rooms.
But concerns about the agents’ ability to conduct their mission and the danger
of blackmail had already been raised, as well as alarm about the involvement
in the Colombian prostitution business of drugs cartels that have been the
long-term targets of US law enforcement operations.
Now it appears that the Cartagena incident has exposed a much more
far-reaching and dangerous culture within an agency long held up for its
dedication and bravery.
