D.C. Madame to Sell 10,000 Phone Records of High-End Washington Clients
Deborah J. Palfrey is unhappy. And, if you know who Deborah J. Palfrey is—and especially if you know her by Jeane—you probably don’t want her unhappy. From 1993 until this past summer, Palfrey ran Pamela Martin and Associates, a “high-end adult fantasy firm which offered legal sexual and erotic services across the spectrum of adult sexual behavior,” according to a statement she put out today hoping to raise funds for her legal defense.
The way she plans to raise those funds could reverberate through Washington’s power corridors. She is considering “selling the entire 46 pounds of detailed and itemized phone records for the 13 year period,” reports The Politico's Ryan Grim. In October, the Internal Revenue Service seized her assets; the sale of the records would fund her fight against the seizure.
Palfrey released what she said were a sample of the records, which don’t include names, but do feature a number of Washington area exchanges.
Her attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, said that prices have yet to be set for the data. “We don’t actually know that yet,” he said, “because we haven’t finished mining the data to identify the individuals. Obviously if Bill Clinton’s on the list that’s a different matter than you know, somebody nobody’s ever heard of before.”
But, he said, chances are good that some interesting names will pop up. “Statistically, if you have 10,000 people, and given the structure of this particular service, these weren’t people beckoning from car windows,” he said. “The escorts only responded to four and five star hotels or private residences. And so the landlines will show up on the private residences real quickly.”

'DC Madam' threatens to bring down Washington (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/articles/2007/04/29/1177787948107.html)
The demise of a call-girl ring and pending trial of an alleged madam claiming thousands of clients has the US capital riveted by the chance powerful men may now be caught with their trousers down, with a senior state department official apparently first to fall.
Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 50, dubbed the DC Madam in local media, has been arraigned in federal court on charges of operating a Washington DC prostitution service for 13 years until her retirement last year.
Palfrey has denied she ran a prostitution ring. Her company, Pamela Martin and Associates, was simply a "high-end adult fantasy firm which offered legal sexual and erotic services across the spectrum of adult sexual behaviour and did so without incident during its 13-year tenure," she said.
Palfrey contends her escort service provided university educated women to engage in legal game-playing of a sexual nature at $US275 ($333) an hour for a 90-minute session, the Washington Post reported.
But Palfrey has also hinted that she has a record of the phone numbers of thousands of more than 10,000 customers that could embarrass more the a few of the US capital's high-fliers.
The US State Department announced yesterday Randall Tobias, the embattled head of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), was resigning for unspecified personal reasons.
However ABC News, which said Palfrey has provided it with a record of the numbers of calls to her private mobile phone, reported Tobias stepped down after they spoke to him about his allegedly contacting her number.
Since 2003 Tobias also was President George W Bush's first global AIDS coordinator, a job which drew criticism for his emphasis on faithfulness to partners and abstinence over condom use in trying to prevent the spread of the AIDS virus.
Before entering government he was chairman, president and chief executive of the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, and also, from 1997-2000, chairman of the board of trustees at Duke University.
His now-reported links to a firm accused of prostitution have raised more than a few eyebrows.
Palfrey's California home and other assets were seized by US tax authorities in October, and Palfrey has been trying to raise funds for her defence through an appeal on her website.
Her lawyer, Montgomery Blair Sibley, told Fox television last month: "The statistical certainty (is) that there are a fair number of high-profile people who used this service across the government and private sector in the metropolitan DC area."
And the Post reported on Saturday local jitters appear to be multiplying. It said Sibley claimed "he has been contacted in the past few days by five lawyers asking whether their clients' phone numbers are on Palfrey's list of 10,000 to 15,000 customers from 2002 to 2006."
That may have something to do with the fact that Palfrey already has named her first name, as it were, on her website, where she has posted a court document from April 12 in which she alleges formal US naval commander Harlan Ullman was a "regular customer" whom she needs to subpoena.
Ullman, with James Wade, developed the military doctrine of "shock and awe" used by US government in its invasion of Iraq. According to one definition, it is shorthand for rapid dominance based on the use of "overwhelming decisive force", "dominant manoeuvres", and "spectacular displays of power" to subdue the other side.
Earlier this month Ullman told CNN: "The allegations do not dignify a response," and referred any other questions to his lawyer.

One of the first casualties exposes more Bushco hypocrisy:
Randall Tobias, the top foreign aid adviser in the State Department, became the most prominent person on the list to be publicly identified when he resigned after acknowledging to ABC News that he was among Palfrey's clients. The State Department's statement on Tobias's resignation said simply, "He is returning to private life for personal reasons."
...............
Tobias, 65, is a former chairman and chief executive of Eli Lilly and of AT&T International. He was chairman of the board of Duke University from 1997 to 2000. He has been a major donor to various Republican campaigns.
Tobias, who was the director of foreign assistance and the administrator of the Agency for International Development, ran agencies that required foreign recipients of AIDS assistance to explicitly condemn prostitution, a policy that drew protests from some nations and relief organizations.

May 8, 2007 -- Cheney on DC Madam's list. Yesterday, WMR reported on the DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey's list: "WMR has been informed that the CEO of a major corporation is a former CEO but, nonetheless, the aforementioned extremely high-level official of the Bush administration. The individual, who is definitely "newsworthy," reportedly engaged the services of Palfrey's escort firm while he was the CEO and maintained a residence off Chain Bridge Road in the Ballantrae neighborhood in McLean, Virginia, a few blocks from the headquarters of the CIA."
WMR has confirmed with extremely knowledgeable CIA and Pentagon sources that the former CEO who is on Deborah Jeane Palfrey's list is Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney was CEO of Halliburton during the time of his liaisons with the Pamela Martin & Associates escort firm. Palfrey's phone invoices extend back to 1996 and include calls to and from Cheney. Ironically, in 2000 Cheney was appointed by Bush to head his Vice President selection committee, a task that enabled Cheney to gather detailed personal files on a number of potential candidates, including Bill Frist, George Pataki, John Danforth, Fred Thompson, Chuck Hagel, John Kasich, Chris Cox, Frank Keating, Tom Ridge, Colin Powell, and Jim Gilmore, before he selected himself as the vice presidential candidate.
The White House saw to it that ABC/Disney killed the DC Madam's story before yet another scandal swamped the Bush administration. Cheney is departing Washington today for a trip to the Middle East, where he will visit the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and the USS John C. Stennis in the Gulf.

Her name is Deborah Jeane Palfrey and she has Washington circles worried. Why are powerful and important people breaking into a sweat when they hear Palfrey's name? Deborah Jeane Palfrey's former company, Pamela Martin and Associates, was a prostitution service that was patronized by people high up on the American political totem pole (Montes, no pagination). Furthermore, Palfrey is in a position to ruin a lot of political careers. Her lawyer, Montgomery Blair Sibley, claims he has:
been contacted by five lawyers recently, asking whether their clients' names are on Palfrey's list of 10,000 to 15,000 phone numbers. Some, Sibley said, have inquired about whether accommodations could be made to keep their identities private. (No pagination)
The Palfrey scandal has already cost one person his job. Randall L. Tobias resigned from his position as deputy secretary of state after admitting to ABC's Brian Ross that he was a client of Pamela Martin and Associates (no pagination). Deborah Jeane Palfrey is definitely in a position to blackmail the powerful and influential. This begs a question: Is Palfrey's outfit part of an operation connected to the intelligence community that keeps politicians in line with the Establishment agenda through a system of sexual rewards and punishments?
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.

Sex is a Gun: The Deeper Story of the D.C. Madam (http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/Commentary/DC_Madam_2.htm)
- by Paul David Collins ©, May 7th, 2007
On May 1, 2007, I had the opportunity to interview legendary former NYPD detective James Rothstein over the topic of elite and intelligence-connected sex rings in Washington, D.C. I asked Rothstein if Deborah Jeane Palfrey (a.k.a. the D.C. Madam) and her Pamela Martin and Associates could be considered a sex ring connected to the power elite and the intelligence community meant to compromise important political figures. James Rothstein not only answered yes, but also made it clear that the D.C. Madam's outfit could not exist in Washington, D.C. unless it was a tool of elites and dark factions in the intelligence community (Rothstein, no pagination). This got me looking for connections. However, it was hard for me to connect dots when Palfrey was being so tight-lipped.
However, Palfrey's interview with The Smoking Gun shown that even the tightest lips can sometimes get a little loose. In this interview, Palfrey speculated:
that she may have come to the attention of federal agents because her operation had somehow intersected with a more high profile case, like that of convicted ex-congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham. (No pagination)
Palfrey did not claim that there was any connection between her operation and Cunningham (no pagination). However, it is very interesting that the Madam invoked the name of Cunningham. Cunningham received $2.3 million in bribes from defense contractors in return for political favors that took the form of federal contracts ("Kyle Foggo," no pagination). Defense contractor Brent Wilkes, owner of ADCS Inc., has been named as "co-conspirator #1" in the Cunningham case (no pagination). It is with Wilkes that one finds a possible link between the Cunningham scandal and intelligence-connected sex rings.
Wilkes was able to influence Cunningham and other lawmakers through poker parties he threw at the Watergate and Westin Grand hotels ("Sex Flap Hits CIA Honcho," no pagination). Wilkes rewarded attendees with more than just money. The defense contractor also provided his poker-playing pals with prostitutes (no pagination). The prostitutes could be considered more than just a present from Wilkes. Attendees were now in a position where they could be blackmailed.
Compromising politicians in this manner goes back far into America's secret history. James Rothstein had an opportunity to sit down with infamous McCarthy counsel Roy Cohn and speak casually (Rothstein, no pagination). Cohn admitted to Rothstein that he ran a sex ring that compromised political figures (no pagination). With the threat of blackmail hanging over their heads, these politicians now had to step in line with the agenda of those powerful elites that Cohn represented. For Cohn, all of this was done in the name of fighting communism (no pagination). However, for the elites that Cohn represented, the story may have been different. The power elite are not anchored to the ideological camps that the common man is familiar with. Instead, they are willing to use all the different camps to gain an advantage. Compromised individuals in both the Wilkes and Cohn operations could be used to help consolidate power for America's hidden aristocracy.
Where is the intelligence community involvement? With the Cohn operation, the connection is former CIA operative Ed Wilson. Fugitive ex-CIA officer Frank Terpil has claimed that sexual blackmailing operations directed by the Agency were intensive in Washington during the Watergate era (DeCamp 179). Terpil also asserted 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). What about the Wilkes operation? The connection between Wilkes and the intelligence community laid with an individual named Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, the former number three man at the CIA. On March 3, 2006, the CIA said it would look into the connections between Foggo and Wilkes (Calbreath, no pagination). Apparently the two are lifelong friends. Dean Calbreath probes the twos' relationship:
Foggo and Wilkes attended school together at Hilltop High in Chula Vista and San Diego State University, served as best men in each other's weddings and named their sons after each other.
After Foggo joined the CIA in 1982, Wilkes often visited him on Foggo's overseas assignments. Even before the CIA removed Foggo's undercover status last year, Wilkes and Foggo boasted to acquaintances about Foggo's secretive work.
At ADCS corporate headquarters, Wilkes set aside an office next to his executive suite where Foggo could work when he leaves the CIA, according to several former ADCS employees and business associates. (No pagination)
Foggo was one of the attendees at Wilkes' poker parties ("Sex Flap Hits CIA Honcho,"). The former Executive Director of the CIA may have even helped Wilkes receive contract to supply the Agency with bottled water in Iraq (Johnson, no pagination). Did Foggo help Wilkes lure in Cunningham and other politicians with bribes and prostitutes? Foggo certainly knew Cunningham. As a matter of fact, Kyle Foggo may have received his job as Executive Director as a result of "'helpful' suggestions from Duke Cunningham to his congressional buddy, CIA Director Porter Goss" (no pagination).
Did the intelligence connection to the Cunningham scandal go farther up the food chain than just Kyle Foggo? Cunningham and Porter Goss were friends back during the former DCI's congressional days. Cunningham may have even influenced Goss during his time as DCI to select of Foggo as Executive Director of the CIA. Goss unexpectedly stepped down as head of the CIA three days after Foggo resigned as Executive Director ("Sex Flap Hits CIA Honcho," no pagination). CIA spokesmen claimed that Goss' decision had nothing to do with the expanding investigation into Foggo's ties to Wilkes' poker parties (no pagination). Maybe Goss did not attend any of the poker parties during his time as DCI. But what about during his congressional days? A 1999 poker game arranged by Wilkes was attended by former CIA officer Brant Bassett (Hosenball, no pagination). Bassett was employed by Goss, who was chairman of House Intelligence Committee at the time (no pagination). If sexual blackmail was going on, Goss seems to have been in a position to know about it.
If Wilkes operation was an intelligence-connected sex ring, elements of the Justice Department may have been involved in protecting it. The FBI raided Foggo's home and office on May 12, 2006 (no pagination). However, plans had been made to move against Foggo two days earlier. On May 10, 2006, San Diego U.S. attorney Carol Lam informed the Justice Department of her intentions to execute search warrants of Kyle Foggo (Talev and Taylor, no pagination). A day later, Lam got hit with what could be interpreted as retaliation. Talev and Taylor explain:
On May 11, 2006, Kyle Sampson, then Gonzales' chief of staff, sent an e-mail to deputy White House counsel William Kelley, asking Kelley to call to discuss "the real problem we have right now with Carol Lam that leads me to conclude that we should have someone ready to be nominated on 11/18, the day her 4-year term expires." (No pagination)
Was Lam fired because she was getting to close to a hidden truth behind Kyle Foggo's story? Would the deeper investigation Lam was seeking find the existence of sex rings used by the intelligence community and the elite to control America's political landscape? Who is in control here anyways? Is it the voter in the booth or the hooker in the bed? Americans would not be happy at all if they found out that our democratic institutions were being sidestepped through blackmail, bribes, and influence peddling.
A deeper examination of Foggo might also shatter yet another illusion. Modern defense contractors are really little more than elites and oligarchs who specialize in war profiteering. The alliance between Wilkes and Foggo painfully illustrates how the American intelligence community has become the enforcement arm of the power elite. The national security apparatus has become a private security apparatus. Of course, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels are much more attractive to the American people. Unfortunately, in reality, Jack would, in all likelihood, work for Rockefeller instead of the people of the United States. That is not to say the heroes are not out there. However, as the government continues to be transformed into the oligarchs' prostitute, the heroes are becoming few and far between.
Was Palfrey's outfit connected to the Cunningham scandal? For the time being, the assertion has to be relegated to the realm of theory. That being said, Palfrey's invocation of the disgraced ex-congressman's name may be her way of letting us know that her prostitution service was an intelligence operation. Madam Palfrey is trying to teach us a lesson. The lesson is that, for the power elite, sex is a gun. We are told by 1 Corinthians 6:18 that we are to "flee fornication." It is only by obeying this command that political statesmen can avoid having the trigger pulled.
