Married, With Art.

The collection started almost by accident. It was 1980, and Tony Podesta was bidding adieu to co-workers from Sen. Ted Kennedy’s just-failed bid for the presidential nomination. On their way out the door, staff members were handed whatever goodies remained — among them a tube of limited-edition prints donated to the campaign by the likes of Warhol and Rauschenberg.

A quarter-century later, those prints are history, but Podesta is counted among the nation’s most important contemporary art collectors. Inside the elite Chelsea galleries, he and his wife, Heather, are gossiped about, deferred to and ushered toward the choicest works. All the art stars know their names.

In Washington, the couple is recognized, too — for very different reasons. Podesta, 60, has ridden a long career on Capitol Hill to his current perch as a top-tier lobbyist and co-chairman of PodestaMattoon, an outfit that took in $11 million in revenue last year from high end clients such as Altria and eBay. (It counts among its clients The Washington Post Co., which in 2003 paid the firm $60,000.)

Political candidates eagerly tap Podesta’s mojo, too: He spearheaded President Clinton’s successful 1996 Pennsylvania campaign, and Sen. John Kerry has hired him to work the same magic for him in the Keystone State this year. Heather, 26 years his junior and several shades greener, carved a career aiding Reps. Robert Matsui and Earl Pomeroy; she joined Blank Rome’s law and government relations firm this spring.

Washington power brokers familiar with the couple’s art collection — regular rounds of parties at their two Washington area homes ensure plenty of viewing opportunities — regard the couple’s enthusiasm as something of a personal quirk.

But the Podestas’ stock of artists know well the benefits of securing such politically connected patronage. Uniquely capable of advocating for their artists using the lobbying skills of their day jobs, Tony and Heather can secure access, lend advice and connect artists to curators and coveted museum shows. It’s backing more valuable, at times, than dollars.

In a gray flannel city, Tony and Heather show up in technicolor. Tony arrives in red leather shoes and peacock-bright ties. Stalk-slim Heather, a white streak issuing from a shock of dark hair, favors ensembles by international boutique designers.

When they buy, Tony and Heather buy big. At a given moment, their collection hovers around 900 pieces, higher if a major art fair closed recently. The emphasis is on photo-based works, though sculpture and paintings are also featured.

With more than half their trove currently in storage, Tony and Heather, like notable collectors Eli and Edythe Broad in Los Angeles and Don and Mera Rubell in Miami, are considering buying a public space to show their works. In the meantime, the couple sends as many pieces as possible to traveling museum shows and displays the rest at home. In their Woodley Park and Falls Church residences, pictures hang salon style, floor to ceiling, like very, very expensive wallpaper. Tony started buying art at the annual auctions of Washington Project for the Arts — a local alternative art venue that was once a very hip place but is hardly on par with today’s major galleries. Today, though his habit has grown voluminously, Tony describes the evolution as more a dedicated hobby than an obsession.
“Some people spend a lot of money on golf,” says Tony, who speaks in energetic spurts. “Like they play golf, I play art.”

His is, in part, a gambler’s collection, albeit based on safe bets. The up-and-comers Tony favors travel the international contemporary art circuit, the gold line from Chelsea to the Venice Biennale. Though the works aren’t guaranteed to stand the test of time, many of his artists have logged significant hours on major museum walls. Others, including a few of Tony’s more obscure choices, have given good returns over the long term.

Heather’s first taste of Tony’s art came on their first date, in the fall of 2001, when they stopped at his house to pick up his car before heading to the opera. Passing some of the quirkier selections, Heather recalls Tony remarking, “I don’t know why it is, but I have artworks where the women have no heads.” The next day, she sent him a note signed, “Woman with a head.” They were married last year.
To keep themselves in pictures, Tony and Heather jet to art fairs and biennials from Sao Paolo to San Sebastian — often just for the weekend. Theirs is a life led breathlessly, moving from airport to dinner party. The art is an extravagance that occasionally gives Heather pause.

“401(k)? Art?” she asks, as if weighing the two options. “Tony’s view of investment diversification is multiple artists.”

No wonder Heather worries. Though her childhood was cultured, she was hardly schooled in the high-fashion — and big-money — realm of contemporary art. If Tony’s art infatuation developed gradually, Heather’s blossomed overnight.
“Did I go from zero to 1,000?” she says, referring to her art involvement since meeting Tony. “No. I went from 5 to 1,000.”

Heather now talks about conspiring with “Julie” (as in Roberts, a major painter in museum collections worldwide) on a portrait of Tony she commissioned for his birthday. She mentions seeing “Olafur” (as in Eliasson, a Danish-born photographer whom the Podestas hold in depth) at an opening.

Still, Heather recalls the day, just weeks into her relationship with Tony, when she traveled to Chelsea with him to look at art. A gallerist presented a photograph by a well-known German artist, chirping about the work’s reasonable price. The piece cost $45,000.

“There are times when I’m the daughter of an academic, in sneakers,” Heather says of her sticker shock. “I’m just that geek completely out of place. I felt it then.”
Tony and Heather don’t shy away from discomfort — especially when they can inflict it, ever so gently, on others.

The pictures ringing Tony’s ninth-floor office at PodestaMattoon deliver an unusual welcome. A suite of arresting computer-manipulated photographs by Dutch artist Margi Geerlinks serves as a cautionary tale of genetic engineering. One shows a boy seemingly born from a sewing machine. Another finds a young girl knitting her own hair. A third has a naked woman immersed in blood-red liquid.

It’s not hard to imagine the jolt that executives from biotech concerns such as Genentech or Serono get when they walk into the room — and they’re clients.
“Some people think it’s a little weird,” Tony says of his choices. “But that’s their problem.”
Steeped in liberal politics, Tony favors art with in-your-face nudity and social critique.
“We’re not trying to confront sexism and racism in our art collection,” he insists. “Though occasionally they intersect. Some people’s politics are other people’s aesthetics.”

And some people’s aesthetics are other people’s embarrassments. Tony’s younger brother John (yes, that John, Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff and current president of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress) admires his choices in art but recognizes that not everyone gets it. Says John, “I don’t think Tony focus-groups his art.”

Though pictures rotate on and off the walls of the couple’s homes, a piece in the Woodley Park living room stays. Called “Soliloquy VII,” the nearly eight-foot-tall color photo by British artist Sam Taylor-Wood is an update of a late-15th-century painting of the dead Jesus. Taylor-Wood faithfully replicates the original’s composition, here photographing, in vivid color and minute detail, a young man laid out on his back. Just one thing: Taylor-Wood omits the shroud, displaying his subject in all his nakedness.

Though often politely ignored, “Soliloquy VII” is rarely forgotten. Tony and Heather love it. They crane their necks to hear the whispers generated when the pols stop in. Tony often uses the work to launch into a story about Hillary Clinton’s visit, when she ducked and tiptoed around the work lest any photo opportunity capture her alongside the naked figure.

“You’ve got to be pretty secure to have an eight-foot-tall naked man in your living room in Washington, D.C.,” Heather says of her husband’s choice.
What Heather suggests as a badge of her mate’s confidence is a highly intentional statement. After all, Tony’s job is to make an impression. Besides, when the piece isn’t generating blushes, it’s generating conversation.

“At political events, there’s an inevitable awkwardness,” former Clinton administration official Sally Katzen said at a Women’s Campaign Fund dinner at the Podestas’ home this summer. “The art is an ice-breaker. It puts people at ease.”

Not always. Folks attending a house tour in the Lake Barcroft neighborhood in Falls Church earlier this year got an eyeful when they walked into a bedroom at the Podesta residence hung with multiple color pictures by Katy Grannan, a photographer known for documentary-style pictures of naked teenagers in their parents’ suburban homes.

“They were horrified,” Heather recalls, a grin spreading across her face.
If Tony and Heather enjoy in-your-face art, they also reward their artists. The Podestas are eager to assist those they’ve earmarked as promising, and donate time and resources to the cause.
During last year’s Venice Biennale, they threw parties night after night, renting out their favorite restaurant and packing it with artists and a gallerist or two. Here in Washington, they’ve hosted art parties with Patricia Puccini, Cathy de Monchaux, Anna Gaskell, Frank Thiel, Annee Olofsson, Nikki Lee and others. Curators from the Hirshhorn Museum and Corcoran Gallery of Art, top Washington collectors and the city’s best dealers regularly show up. Podesta parties are where connections are made.

“I see lobbying as getting information in the hands of people who are making decisions so they can make more informed decisions,” Tony says. “We do that a lot with museums.”

The couple also donates. About 300 pieces that have passed through Tony’s hands are now in museum collections. Locally, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Museum of Women in the Arts have benefited most.
“Tony loves the artists themselves as much as the artworks,” John Podesta says. Earlier this month, the couple held a party and opening at their Falls Church home in honor of 34-year-old District artist Avish Khebrehzadeh.

Tony and Heather liked her work when they saw it at last year’s Venice Biennale, where the artist received one the event’s prestigious awards, so her Washington dealer set up a visit. That day with Tony in the studio, Khebrehzadeh mentioned wanting to work on a large scale but not having adequate studio space. So Tony offered her the keys to his Falls Church home, with its ample basement. Last winter, Khebrehzadeh spent weekdays at the house working.

Now it’s time to show those works and her dealer’s walls aren’t big enough, either. So Khebrehzadeh’s exhibition opened earlier this month at the Podestas’ house, in the very space where the art was made. Visitors may make appointments to see the show.

Other artists have similar stories. For Belgrade-based up-and-comer Vesna Pavlovic, Heather helped secure a show at Sacramento’s Crocker Art Museum (Heather once worked for the congressman who represents the area). For art stars Jane and Louise Wilson, the couple pulled some Washington strings to ensure the duo had access to Las Vegas casinos for a video shoot.

“It’s inspiring to meet a collector so involved in his own career and, parallel to that, in the arts as well,” says video artist and painter Sarah Morris, speaking from Berlin, where she opened a show last week. “He’s very committed.”

Morris approached Tony in 2000 with her idea for the film “Capital.” The piece ended up as an 18-minute look into Washington’s corridors of power, much of it thanks to strategy sessions with Tony at which Morris would identify the places she wanted to shoot and Tony would tell her how likely she’d be to get in.

“Tony speaks in percentiles,” Morris explains. “I’d say ‘Cabinet Room,’ and he’d be, like, ’30 percent.’ I’d say ‘Pentagon,’ and he’d say ’60 percent.’ ”

Co-conspiratorial leanings aside, Tony likes to see his artists’ results and will travel to openings to support them. “Sometimes our life feels like an art travelogue,” Tony says of the constant back-and-forth.

“He travels more than any artist I know. And artists travel a lot,” Morris says. “Tony would show up and surprise you.”
But these days, Tony’s focus is the battleground state of Pennsylvania and getting his candidate elected.

South Korea’s Gwangju Biennial, which opened earlier this month, is the kind of show that normally would prompt Tony to get on a plane. “If it weren’t for Kerry, I’d be going,” Tony says with a hint of regret. It’s one of the few times that art has had to slide.

1964 RARE

Nearly 400 children rescued and 348 adults arrested in Canadian child abuse bust.

Nearly 400 children have been rescued and 348 adults arrested following an expansive and “extraordinary” international child pornography investigation, Canadian police announced Thursday.
The three-year project, named Project Spade, began when undercover officers with the Toronto Police Service Child Exploitation service made contact with a Toronto man allegedly sharing “very graphic images” of child sexual abuse in Oct. 2010, Toronto Police Service Chief William Blair said at a press conference on Thursday.

Police said their investigation revealed an entire child movie production and distribution company in Toronto operating via the web site azovfilms.com.

The site was run by 42-year old Brian Way, according to police, and sold and distributed images of child exploitation to people across the world.

Inspector Joanna Beaven-Desjardins, head of Toronto’s Sex Crimes Unit, said they enlisted the help of the United States Postal Inspection Service since many of the videos were being exported to the U.S. and began a joint investigation.

After a seven-month long investigation, officers executed search warrants across the city of Toronto including at the business, located in the city’s West End.

Investigators catalogued hundreds of thousands of images and videos of “horrific sexual acts against very young children, some of the worst they have ever viewed,” Inspector Beaven-Desjardins said at the press conference.

Police seized over 45 terabytes of data from the $4-million business that distributed to over 50 counties including Australia, Spain, Mexico, Sweden and Greece.

As a result of the investigation thus far, 50 people were arrested in Ontario, 58 in the rest of Canada, 76 in the United States, and 164 internationally.

What was most alarming, Inspector Beaven-Desjardins said, was that many of the arrests were of people who worked with or closely interacted with children.

Among those arrested were 40 school teachers, nine doctors and nurses, six law enforcement personnel, nine pastors and priests and three foster parents, she said.

Citing a particularly egregious example, she said police found over 350,000 images and over 9,000 videos of child sexual abuse in the home of a retired Canadian school teacher. Some of the images were of children known to the man and he was also charged with sexually abusing a child relative.
The inspector said an indispensable aspect to the success of the operation and the rescue of 386 children from child exploitation was the expansive cooperation between Toronto police and organizations worldwide.

“[This] confirms that when we work together regardless of the borders that divide us we can successfully take down those who not only prey on our most vulnerable but also profit from it,” she said.
Police said the children were “rescued from child exploitation” but did not give more details.
Way was charged with 24 counts, including possession of, distribution of, and importing and exporting child pornography.

The investigation is ongoing and more arrests could be made, police said.

Baby Skeletons Found as Human Trafficking Probe Widens in Bengal.

Kolkata: Police in West Bengal have rescued 13 babies and discovered the skeletons of two infants in raids on homes for the elderly and mentally disabled, as a probe into a suspected international human trafficking ring widened on Monday.

Ten infants, all under one year old, were found on Friday in a home for the mentally disabled run by a charity in the impoverished district of South 24 Parganas.

While in another raid in the neighbouring district of North 24 Parganas, the remains of two infants were found in office premises of a charity which ran an adoption centre.

The raids come after the discovery of three newborn babies on Nov. 21 hidden inside cardboard biscuit boxes in a locked storeroom in a nursing home, where women would come to deliver or have an abortion.

Rajesh Kumar of West Bengal’s Crime Investigation Department (CID), said 18 people had been arrested for taking the newborn babies and trafficking them for adoption in India and overseas.

“It is a huge network of NGOs, nursing homes, doctors and middlemen dealing in illegal adoption and baby trafficking that the police have busted. Our men are now building on the huge leads they have already got in this case,” Kumar, CID’s Additional Director General said on Monday.

Initial investigations revealed that unmarried girls and women who visited the clinics for an abortion were persuaded by staff to give birth and sell their babies.

The police did not give a price, but local news reports said the mothers were given 300,000 rupees ($4,380) for a boy and 100,000 rupees ($1,460) for a girl.

Babies were also stolen from women who delivered at the clinics, but who were told by staff their children were stillborn. Some were even given the bodies of stillborn babies preserved by the clinics to dupe parents, police said.

The babies were then smuggled in biscuit containers to adoption centres, homes for the mentally disabled and elderly people, where they were kept until their adoption was organised.

Those arrested included the owners of the clinics, midwives, doctors, owners of the charities, as well as court clerks who are accused of forging documentation for the babies.

BABIES, SKELETONS, FOREX FOUND

South Asia, with India at its centre, is one of the fastest-growing regions for human trafficking in the world.

Gangs sell thousands of victims into bonded labour every year or hire them out to exploitative bosses as domestic servants, or sectors such as farming and manufacturing. Many women and girls are sold into brothels.

Following last Monday’s raid on the nursing home in Baduria, 80 km (50 miles) from Kolkata, interrogation of clinic staff led police to conduct over 20 raids in what police say appears to be a highly organised human trafficking racket.

They included a swoop on the offices of an adoption centre run by a charity in Machlandapur, 25 km (15 miles) away, where police on Friday found the skeletal remains of two infants, who are suspected to have died there while awaiting sale.

The same day police also found ten babies lying on a sheet on the ground on the second floor of a charitable home for mentally disabled people in Behala. The infants showed signs of malnourishment and some had chest and skin infections.

Kumar said one of the doctors arrested on suspicion of involvement in the baby smuggling racket had over $3,200 in U.S. dollars, euros and Hong Kong dollars in his possession, suggesting the infants were being sold overseas.

NYPD Blows Whistle on New Hillary Emails.

New York Police Department detectives and prosecutors working an alleged underage sexting case against former Congressman Anthony Weiner have turned over a newly-found laptop he shared with wife Huma Abedin to the FBI with enough evidence “to put Hillary (Clinton) and her crew away for life,” NYPD sources told True Pundit.

NYPD sources said Clinton’s “crew” also included several unnamed yet implicated members of Congress in addition to her aides and insiders.

The NYPD seized the computer from Weiner during a search warrant and detectives discovered a trove of over 500,000 emails to and from Hillary Clinton, Abedin and other insiders during her tenure as secretary of state. The content of those emails sparked the FBI to reopen its defunct email investigation into Clinton on Friday.

But new revelations on the contents of that laptop, according to law enforcement sources, implicate the Democratic presidential candidate, her subordinates, and even select elected officials in far more alleged serious crimes than mishandling classified and top secret emails, sources said. NYPD sources said these new emails include evidence linking Clinton herself and associates to:

• Money laundering
• Child exploitation
• Sex crimes with minors (children)
• Perjury
• Pay to play through Clinton Foundation
• Obstruction of justice
• Other felony crimes

NYPD detectives and a NYPD Chief, the department’s highest rank under Commissioner, said openly that if the FBI and Justice Department fail to garner timely indictments against Clinton and co- conspirators, NYPD will go public with the damaging emails now in the hands of FBI Director James Comey and many FBI field offices.

“What’s in the emails is staggering and as a father, it turned my stomach,” the NYPD Chief said. “There is not going to be any Houdini-like escape from what we found. We have copies of everything. We will ship them to Wikileaks or I will personally hold my own press conference if it comes to that.”

The NYPD Chief said once Comey saw the alarming contents of the emails he was forced to reopen a criminal probe against Clinton.

“People are going to prison,” he said.

Meanwhile, FBI sources said Abedin and Weiner were cooperating with federal agents, who have taken over the non-sexting portions the case from NYPD. The husband-and-wife Clinton insiders  are both shopping for separate immunity deals, sources said.

“If they don’t cooperate they are going to see long sentences,” a federal law enforcement source said.

NYPD sources said Weiner or Abedin stored all the emails in a massive Microsoft Outlook program on the laptop. The emails implicate other current and former members of Congress and one high-ranking Democratic Senator as having possibly engaged in criminal activity too, sources said.

Prosecutors in the office of US Attorney Preet Bharara have issued a subpoena for Weiner’s cell phones and travel records, law enforcement sources confirmed. NYPD said it planned to order the same phone and travel records on Clinton and Abedin, however, the FBI said it was in the process of requesting the identical records. Law enforcement sources are particularly interested in cell phone activity and travel to the Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and other locations that sources would not divulge.

The new emails contain travel documents and itineraries indicating Hillary Clinton, President Bill Clinton, Weiner and multiple members of Congress and other government officials accompanied convicted pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein on his Boeing 727 on multiple occasions to his private island in the U.S Virgin Islands, sources said. Epstein’s island has also been dubbed Orgy Island or Sex Slave Island where Epstein allegedly pimps out underage girls and boys to international dignitaries.

Both NYPD and FBI sources confirm based on the new emails they now believe Hillary Clinton traveled as Epstein’s guest on at least six occasions, probably more when all the evidence is combed, sources said. Bill Clinton, it has been confirmed in media reports spanning recent years, that he too traveled with Epstein over 20 times to the island.

---

Laptop Also Unveiled More Classified, Top Secret Breaches

According to other uncovered emails, Abedin and Clinton both sent and received thousands of classified and top secret documents to personal email accounts including Weiner’s unsecured campaign web site which is managed by Democratic political consultants in Washington D.C.

Weiner maintained little known email accounts that the couple shared on the website anthonyweiner.com. Weiner, a former seven-term Democratic Congressman from New York, primarily used that domain to campaign for Congress and for his failed mayoral bid of New York City.

At one point, FBI sources said, Abedin and Clinton’s classified and top secret State Department documents and emails were stored in Weiner’s email on a server shared with a dog grooming service and a western Canadian bicycle shop.

However, Weiner and Abedin, who is Hillary Clinton’s closest personal aide, weren’t the only people with access to the Weiner’s email account. Potentially dozens of unknown individuals had access to Abedin’s sensitive State Department emails that were stored in Weiner’s email account, FBI sources confirmed.

FEC records show Weiner paid more than $92,000 of congressional campaign funds to Anne Lewis Strategies LLC to manage his email and web site. According to FBI sources, the D.C.-based political consulting firm has served as the official administrator of the anthonyweiner.com domain since 2010, the same time Abedin was working at the State Department. This means technically Weiner and Abedin’s emails, including top secret State Department emails, could have been accessed, printed, discussed, leaked, or distributed by untold numbers of personnel at the Anne Lewis consulting firm because they can control where the website and it emails are pointed, FBI sources said.

According to FBI sources, the bureau’s newly-minted probe into Clinton’s use and handling of emails while she served as secretary of state, has also been broadened to include investigating new email-related revelations, including:

• Abedin forwarded classified and top secret State Department emails to Weiner’s email
• Abedin stored emails, containing government secrets, in a special folder shared with Weiner warehousing over 500,000 archived State Department emails.
• Weiner had access to these classified and top secret documents without proper security clearance to view the records
• Abedin also used a personal yahoo address and her Clintonemail.com address to send/receive/store classified and top secret documents
• A private consultant managed Weiner’s site for the last six years, including three years when Clinton was secretary of state, and therefore, had full access to all emails as the domain’s listed registrant and administrator via Whois email contacts.

Because Weiner’s campaign website is managed by the third-party consultant and political email guru, FBI agents are burdened with the task of trying to decipher just how many people had access to Weiner’s server and emails and who were these people. Or if the server was ever compromised by hackers, or other actors.

Abedin told FBI agents in an April interview that she didn’t know how to consistently print documents or emails from her secure Dept. of State system. Instead, she would forward the sensitive emails to her yahoo, Clintonemail.com and her email linked to Weiner.

Abedin said, according to FBI documents, she would then access those email accounts via webmail from an unclassified computer system at the State Dept. and print the documents, many of which were classified and top secret, from the largely unprotected webmail portals.

Clinton did not have a computer in her office on Mahogany Row at the State Dept. so she was not able to read timely intelligence unless it was printed out for her, Abedin said. Abedin also said Clinton could not operate the secure State Dept. fax machine installed in her Chappaqua, NY home without assistance.

Perhaps more alarming, according to the FBI’s 302 Report detailing its interview with Abedin, none of the multiple FBI agents and Justice Department officials who conducted the interview pressed Abedin to further detail the email address linked to Weiner. There was never a follow up, according to the 302 report.

But now, all that has changed, with the FBI’s decision to reopen the Clinton email investigation and the husband and wife seeking immunity deals to testify against Clinton and other associates about the contents of the laptop’s emails.

PizzaGate Traced to Fairfax County, Virginia.

Stunning Report From SGT Radio

One of my readers sent me an interview conducted on SGT radio with an anonymous  researcher, “Mark” who revealed the incredible number of children who continually go missing from the Virginia-Washington DC area, primarily in Fairfax County.

There are very serious statistical anomalies associated with the number of children that go missing in Virginia as compared to the rest of the country. For example, Virginia’s missing children are double and triple the rate of missing children, such as Texas which has a population almost four times that of Virginia have less than half the missing children.

In the SGT interview, the informant, “Mark”,  revealed what definitely is a child trafficking and pedophilia ring in the area, as he found a very high correlation of a high number of missing children in that area. Virginia is second only to California in total number of missing children.

It is the apparent conclusion of “Mark’s” research that the missing children of Virginia are, at least in part, going to service the perverted “PizzaGate” needs of the elite identified in the Wikileaks report.

Here is the interview and subsequent discussion between “Mark” and SGT radio. The facts covered to this point are revealed in the first few minutes of the interview.

The Monika Weslowski Case

Although it was not called PizzaGate in 2014, I discovered this unholy practice over 30 months ago.

In 2014, current State Department employee, Monika Wesolowski who holds a significant security clearance, was “swat-teamed” by her local police and CPS at 830pm, one December night in 2013, because CPS wanted to do a child welfare check on her child, Dylan, age 4 at the time. After hours of brutal interrogation, the CPS agents accused the mother of strangling her child. Even though the police were present during the entire Gestapo type interrogation, no charges have ever been brought against Wesolowski. A subsequent pediatric report exonerated Ms. Wesolowski from the original allegation. No judge has held her accountable. Yet, her son was removed from her custody and Ms. Wesolowski claims, with proof, that the two foster “dads” who were originally given custody were molesting the boy and the boy is failing to thrive. Monika provided proof on The Common Sense Show.

My research efforts also revealed that Monika’s son would play with a man’s daughter in their apartment complex. The father’s name was Pito Segovia and he was one of Congressman Wolf’s chief child sex trafficking researchers. Segovia died under very mysterious circumstances and immediately thereafter, Virginia CPS showed up and executed a completely unwarranted snatch and grab of Monika’s son. It is obvious from the time frame and the social relationship between the two families that Monika was also targeted in order to silence her from what she may have learned from Segovia.  Segovia’s death was never satisfactorily solved. Pito’s wife, Anna, called the investigation a whitewash. I can tell you, it was a homicide and served as a direct warning to Virginia’s Congressman Frank Wolf to quit was he was doing with regard to his investigations into sex trafficking in Fairfax County, VA.

Congressman Frank Wolf

Congressman Frank Wolf (link has been scrubbed) formerly of the 10th District in Virginia is on the warpath against human trafficking. Congressman Wolf’s website used to contain numerous references to child sex trafficking in Northern Virginia, centering in Fairfax County.  Nearly every one of the links to legal actions against child sex traffickers, since I first published them in 2014 have been purged.

Just like the late Georgia State Senator, Nancy Schaefer, the pedophile forces coalesced and combined forces to force Congressman Wolf from Congress. I believe that he is lucky to be alive. Schaefer, as you know was not so lucky, she was murdered to keep her research from going forward.

At one time, Congressman Wolf’s website provided partial excerpts of his comments on this dire problem. Here is an excerpt I lifted from Wolf’s website in June of 2014.

“Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. Not only is it an affront to human dignity, but it is an insidious criminal enterprise. Approximately 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders each year, according to the U.S. State Department. This figure does not include the thousands who are trafficked annually within countries, including the United States. While the hidden nature of trafficking makes reliable numbers difficult to come by, we do know traffickers prey on the most vulnerable. Traffickers can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year selling women and children, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Polaris Project, one of the leading anti-trafficking organizations in the country…”

These were the words of a U.S. Congressman on this issue and they validate the SGT Report’s interview listed above.

Trafficking in Virginia: The Media Cover-Up and the Purging of Relevant PizzaGate Information

Sometimes in journalism, it is not what you find that is important, it is what is covered up. In June of 2014, I posted to The Common Sense Show, the following references to child-sex trafficking in Fairfax, VA., county. Someone has gone to a lot a trouble to cover up what the Congressman was reporting on his website.

From former Congressman Wolf’s website  (now defunct):

 “People often think trafficking takes place overseas in places like Thailand. In reality, it takes place right here in Virginia.  The links below show how close to home trafficking takes place:

Click here  (dead link) to read a piece from Washingtonian Magazine about human trafficking in Fairfax County.

Click here (dead link) to read about the sentencing of the owner of an Annandale-based massage parlor to 30 months in prison for transporting women to work as prostitutes and laundering the proceeds from the illegal activity.

Click here (dead link) to read court documents involving a Georgia man who pleaded guilty in federal court in Alexandria in 2013 of trafficking young girls in northern Virginia. Be sure to read Section 15 on page 6 to see the names and locations of hotels in the region where the young girls were prostituted.

Click here (dead link) to read about how local gangs are finding trafficking women and young girls is more profitable than trafficking drugs.

Click here (dead link) to read about gang members indicted for racketeering, sex trafficking, robbery, cocaine distribution, and multiple acts of violence.” End quote from Congressman Wolf’s website.

This information is still available on the Wayback Machine feature (fee based) of retrieving old Internet information.

The scrubbing of the published research, by a sitting US Congressman, is not the only attempted cover up into PizzaGate in Fairfax County.

After Wesolowski’s son was taken, she appeared on my radio show and this prompted a letter of concern from the Fairfax County’s District Attorney’s Office.

Ms. Wesolowski’s claims of them trying to eviscerate her First Amendment rights are bolstered by the contents of a letter written by Fairfax Assistant County Attorney to Ms. Wesolowski’s attorney.

“Ms. Kramer,

It is my understanding that you are representing Ms. Wesolowski. The Department would like to schedule a meeting with you and your client so that we can discuss the case and moving forward. The Department has some concerns about Ms. Wesolowski’s radio appearance this past weekend and would like to discuss that with you and your client. Please let me know when you and Ms. Wesolowski would be available for such a meeting. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to working with you.

Chris M. Christopher Sigler

Assistant County Attorney

Fairfax, VA”

Ms. Wesolowski also had sent me the following and very disturbing information in an email:

“My therapist said that DFS Social Worker Magda Alarcon told her that I was “unstable” because I contacted the media and was on your show. Magda had said that people left comments about the show that place Dylan in harm and danger as the comments stated that people wanted to hurt and threatened the lives of the foster parents. She said that Magda stated that my actions to go to the media did not factor in threats to DFS and therefore I am “unstable.” She also said that Magda told her I would not be getting more visitation time with my son because of this”.

So the Department of Family Services took away visiting time from Monika with her son, because she told her story on a nationally syndicated radio show. What are they are afraid of? More importantly, what are these public officials covering up in Fairfax County?

Since when should a radio appearance cause concern for the County Attorney? Should any public official fear the light of day, unless they are engaged in wrongdoing? PizzaGate is alive and well and the guardians of the gate are doing their duty to this unholy endeavor whether they realize it or not.

But wait, there’s more!

Dave Hodges Interviews Two Anonymous Former Virginia CPS Workers

In the furtherance of my investigation into the Virgina CPS/DFS kidnapping of Monika Wesoloski’s son in Fairfax County in Virginia, I interviewed two former CPS agents admitting and they both stated “that the goal of the agency is child abduction from the homes of law-abiding parents. The agencies are paid by the federal government for the procurement of each child. And that some of these children, simply go missing”. More money is paid to the Virginia CPS/DFS when the child is a minority and even more is paid out when the child has a disability as is the case with Monika Wesolowski’s son.

Parents of America, do you feel safer after reading these accounts?

The investigation will continue. In Oklahoma there are over 70 missing children that were under the guardianship of Oklahoma’s version of CPS. It is time to call more attention to this event as well.

Labour councillor quits alleging ‘bullying’ and ‘racial discrimination’.

Sue White made a series of allegations against the ruling Labour group on Cardiff council

Sue White has made explosive allegations about Cardiff’s Labour group

A former Cardiff councillor has alleged there is culture of ‘bullying’ and ‘racial discrimination’ in the city’s Labour group.

Former group spokesperson Sue White quit on Monday after two years as a Llandaff North councillor.

And she has now issued an explosive statement, accusing ex-colleagues of bullying her for speaking up for a Muslim association.

The group is now perilously close to losing its majority on the city council – with suggestions more councillors could exit the group imminently and some even thinking about defecting to a rival party.

In a statement, she told Wales Online she resigned “because of bullying and what I perceive to be racial discrimination”.

Ms White said: “There is a culture of bullying in the Cardiff council Labour group which has been allowed to go unchecked for far too long.

“I myself have experienced it when I was the group secretary and, most recently, when I defended the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association (AMA).”

Ms White said the group had been praised by world leaders – including Prime Minister Theresa May – and had been given as an example of “best practice” at a peace conference in Cardiff last weekend.

In Cardiff, the group has previously called for Muslims to “speak out against violence and help spread the peaceful message of the Koran”.

But Ms White said she had become “extremely concerned at what I see as prejudice” against them.

She said one colleague warned her not to go to AMA meetings or to an Eid dinner in County Hall because of unfounded allegations about the group’s supposed links to Isis, adding: “I told the colleague that it was completely unacceptable to make allegations of that nature and attended the event.”

DEATH OF SENATOR SCHAEFER LINKED TO COMET PIZZA PEDOPHILE RING.

Comet Pizza kid-friendly restaurant alleged pedophile playground.

As a rather exciting November comes to a close, the U.S. anticipates a relaxing Christmas holiday. Most Americans have time off from work to visit with close friends and family to celebrate and rejoice. There’s nothing like sharing a warm cup of cocoa with a loved one during this time of year.

However, as temperatures drop nationwide, some people, including children, are less fortunate than others. Orphaned children especially feel an unsteady chill in the air instead of Christmas joy. These children are caught in the invisible fishing line of Child Protective Services. Foster children undeniably understand this brutal cold as they are hooked and pulled away from loved ones. They don’t have the option to see family for the holidays.

Last year, state officials involved with the foster care program were investigated for trafficking children. Over 5,000 people in the Department of Defense were linked to child pornography, according to a report from 2015. This information was leaked to the media, but only a few hundred military personnel were looked into and the investigation mysteriously ceased after 8 months.

Few officials ever speak out against the heinous crimes that occur within foster care, which is vulnerable in terms of funding. In 2010, Senator Nancy Schaefer decided to blow the whistle on child trafficking within Child Protective Services and they both mysteriously ended up dead.

In a random alleged suicide-murder, Senator Nancy Schaefer is said to have fallen victim to a gunshot wound inflicted by her husband, who had no motive to kill her and then turn the gun on himself. Their five children were not harmed, but suicide notes addressed to each are rumoured to be forged.

In an exclusive interview with Alex Jones of InfoWars, Senator Nancy Schaefer describes in grave detail what was happening behind the closed doors of foster care.

According to Medical Kidnap, “Alex Jones asked her if there were ‘bounties on the heads of children’ and Mrs. Schaefer said ‘yes,’ and that in fact just the day before she had learned that ‘an order’ had come in to a CPS office stating what kind of child someone wanted to adopt.

“Mrs. Schaefer states that the financial motive for the State to legally kidnap children was put in place in 1974 by Walter Mondale with the ‘Adoption and Safe Families Act.’ This was later expanded by President Bill Clinton in 1997 with The Adoption and Safe Families Act that gave states cash bonuses for every child adopted out of foster care. (Editor’s note: Bill Clinton signed this bill into law, but the bill was passed by the Republican-led House and Senate led by Newt Gingrich, so it was a bi-partisan effort initiated by a Republican majority in Congress.).

“Mrs. Schaefer talks about how States have a ‘base formula’ regarding how much each child is worth in terms of collecting federal funding, and how they can increase that formula to get all the federal funding that is available. If they get close to the end of the year and they have not collected all the funds available for that State, there is more incentive to put more children into foster care.”

One child in foster care can earn the state up to a million dollars. THIS sounds like motive for murder, not a happy marriage.

Medical Kidnap continues, “Mrs. Schaefer explained how the words ‘in the best interest of the child’ have been redefined by CPS, whose goal is to destroy the family. She explained how grandparents often cannot even get custody of their own grandchildren when it would be in the best interest of the children to be with their grandparents. She explained how children are much more likely to be abused in foster care than they are when they are left with ‘abusive’ parents.”

Schaefer recalls first-hand experience with a case in her district. Two little girls were taken from their mother because the mother allegedly had an unopened can of beer in her vehicle. As a result, the two girls were placed into a foster home with many other children. These children were found to be sexually abused, “including by the CPS caseworker who lived in the foster home,” Medical Kidnap concludes.

Child abduction happens often.

So, there is a very real program within the department that strictly hunts for certain types of children. This leaves an enormous amount of room for corruption. This groups also specifically seeks out special needs children and takes them from their parents, leaving them with an expensive bill every week.

Senator Schaefer mentions the case of a special needs child who was removed from their mother by CPS and taken to an undisclosed location, where they received shock therapy. The mother was billed $7,000 per week- this was 10 years ago, she is still paying it off. Aside from the hefty medical bill, this is extremely offensive and should not be permitted.

It’s no surprise that Senator Schaefer was murdered for trying to expose the underground child sex trafficking pedophile ring. John and Tony Podesta are accused of horrendous crimes because of content released by WikiLeaks in the form of deleted and acid-washed emails.

Code-language is used in the form of color and different vague food dishes- the amount of times ‘pasta’ and ‘pizza’ are used incorrectly by well-educated government officials is disturbing, especially because these documents were acid-washed. Acid-washing is extremely expensive and hard to come by. It’s obvious that the words are code for something and these individuals are protecting a dark secret.

Over four official democratic government meetings have taken place at Comet Pizza. Why? Comet Pizza is a hot spot for pedophilia and has an entire subreddit with some interesting information dedicated to exposing it.

Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer.

President Trump is encouraging foreign nations to investigate and indict Hillary Clinton and her pedophile ring. Basically, any government official who has ever set foot into Comet Pizza should be thoroughly vetted. How far down the rabbit hole does this go? One thing is for sure- this group of pedophiles have more power than the president of the United States.

How many more children will be abused and killed? How many more people will have to be murdered for exposing the truth? Rest in peace, Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer.

BBC Serco Paedophile Elite

Hollywood Paedophiles Exposed (Not Pizzagate)

Abby Martin Exposes John Podesta (Empire Files) #PizzaGate

Terence Bean Arrested On Abuse Charges.

Over the course of the long presidential election, WikiLeaks provided thousands of documents that exposed many things. They ranged from money laundering to tax evasion and even proved that Hillary Clinton funded ISIS.

One of the more bizarre revelations surrounding Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta, being deeply involved with “spirit cooking” and his involvement in a global sex ring.

It is nearly guaranteed that John Podesta is deeply involved with this gross, disturbing, satanic worshipping practice and we can be certain that Hillary Clinton knows about this and may partake in this herself.

As disturbing as that sounds, the documents connect many dots to several world leaders that we originally did not suspect. Shockingly, the WikiLeaks documents brought President Obama to the forefront of the issue.

 

These documents indicate that a man named Terrence Bean was a fundraiser and a “bundler” for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. A “bundler” is someone who not only donates money to a politician, but also collects and “bundles” donations from other sources in order to donate one large sum of money to the candidate.

Moving forward with these documents, it is also important to mention that Bean travelled on Air Force One twice with President Obama.

In 2014, Bean was arrested for raping a child. Bean and his 25 year old boyfriend were charged with two felony counts of having sex with a minor (a 15-year-old boy) in 2013. They took turns molesting a little boy while campaigning with and for Obama during his reelection campaign.

This is the second pedophile that has been linked directly with the Clintons and Obama. The second was billionaire pedophile Jeffery Epstein, who has taken the Clintons to his private island that has been rumoured to be for sex with underage boys and girls.

 

“Friend” to the Clintons, too

The importance of this is astronomical. Epstein and Bean, two known pedophiles, have working relationships — both politically and non-politically — with the Obama’s and Clinton’s.

Many reports are speculating that the Podesta emails discussing “spirit cooking” are code for child sex trafficking. The emails contain odd mentions of cooking recipes that can be deciphered with types of food.

There are thousands of emails from WikiLeaks showing that Clinton, Podesta, and her team used these codes in thousands of emails when they were discussing child sex trafficking. Again, unconfirmed, but it is certainly worth mentioning.

“Julian Assange claimed that the Wikileaks would send Hillary Clinton to prison,” writes Mike Cernovich. “The releases initially disappointed many people, this reporter included, as the evidence of corruption was slim. Assange was right. The real story was hidden in view.”

While the child trafficking and pedophile connections to Clinton remain up in the air, we now have a connection to Barack Obama. When you see the hashtag #PizzaGate or articles surrounding that, this is what we are all trying to uncover.

We have factual evidence from WikiLeaks that not only shows Podesta and Clinton were enamoured with Spirit Cooking and Epstein’s Sex Island, but now we see the connection of Obama and Bean to it all. They are all interconnected. It would also explain why Obama has helped Hillary so much since 2008. He made her Secretary of State and then campaigned with her heavily in 2016 because they are trying to keep all of this quiet and unexposed.

How much deeper does this story go?
