Lewd behavior is no surprise in a culture of unrestraint
US Secret Service and its dirty secrets
By Julio
Severo
Colombia, the
South American Thailand according to the US media, threw the presidential trip
of Barack Obama in a scandal when some his secret agents engaged in
prostitution.
The Colombia
scandal erupted the morning of April 12, when a fight over payment between a
prostitute and a Secret Service officer spilled into the hotel, local police
and media.
The secret of
the secret agents was exposed for lack of payment to a prostitute!
Several Secret
Service officers have been forced out.
Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano assured skeptical lawmakers that what
happened in Colombia was an “isolated” incident.
But an
investigation is being made to check whether secret agents hired strippers and
prostitutes in advance of President Obama’s visit last year to El Salvador.
This week, The Washington Post reported that Secret
Service senior managers had tolerated similar behavior during previous official
trips. The Post described a visit to
Buenos Aires in 2009 by former President Bill Clinton, whose protective detail
it said included agents and uniformed officers. During that trip, the Post said, members of the detail went
out for a late night of partying at strip clubs.
In Brazil,
Mariners serving the US Embassy attacked prostitutes and ran over a young
prostitute last year. They were demoted as punishment.
Lewd behavior
should be no surprise for a nation where Hollywood, the biggest propaganda
machine in the world, reigns supreme in its movies shamelessly promoting
prostitution in the name of “free love”. Hollywood teaches the world to have a
good time with any girl. Any wonder about the “good times” of JFK, or Bill
Clinton, or FDR?
Just try to talk
about sexual restraint to a JFK or Bill Clinton!
In a recent
book, Mimi Alford tells that her virginity was taken when she was a 19-year-old
intern in the White House. The seducer was President John F. Kennedy. By some
reason, the Secret Service was unable or unwilling to protect the teen intern
from a serial adulterer, but successfully kept his lewd behavior a secret.
Other lewd behaviors of Kennedy and other US presidents were also protected by
the Secret Service. At least one of Kennedy’s mistresses, Mary Pinchot Meyer,
was allegedly murdered by the CIA.
Mimi Alford was
lucky to be left alive.
Having watched
and loved Hollywood and known the sexual freedoms of their bosses, why could
not Secret Service agents use some of this freedom too?
The Colombian
prostitutes were lucky that they did not end as Mary Pinchot Meyer. But there
is no doubt that the Secret Service would have had no problem in the South
American Thailand if one of its agents had not fought over payment to a
prostitute, turning their prostitution into a scandal that exposed a dirty
secret.
But why so much
fuss? The Secret Service has protected the immoral proclivities of US
presidents, even by allegedly killing some of their mistresses, in a culture
where Hollywood has imposed its debaucheries internationally as a norm.
Ted Kennedy, a
late US senator and brother of JFK, rented
an entire brothel for a night during a trip to Chile in 1961. At the time, he had been married to his first
wife, Joan, for three years. Had he and his brother some respect for marriage
vows or morality?
Why should the
Secret Service do differently?
Prostitution and
sex without commitment are a blatant legacy of sexual unrestraint.
When a nation
and its government advocate for unrestraint, they cannot expect a clean
behavior from their representatives.
By rejecting her
Christian and moral foundations, America cannot expect from her leaders a
sexual restraint she is incapable of defending in her society.
