Paracultural Calendar for May 6

[Charles Albert]

Spent months looking into the Franklin story - originally for the purpose
of debunking it.

It's as brutal as it is byzantine....

For fans of Gravas' Z, this should resonate..

*Sex and Security*



*Conservative Republicans on Capitol Hill have begun pressing FBI
counterintelligence and Pentagon security agents to take more active roles
in the investigation of Washington's latest sex scandal. The Probe centers
on the bizarre activities of Craig Spence, a well connected lobbyist who
vanished recently after federal investigators linked him to a male
prostitution ring that serviced government officials, military officers and
businessmen. Lawmakers are worried that the case may involve questions
about national security because Spence has close ties to both the Japanese
government, which paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars for lobbying
work, and the People's Republic of China. Indeed, so concerned were
counterintelligence officials about the possibility that Spence may have
been using prostitutes to blackmail government officials that when police
raided the prostitution ring's headquarters, a CIA officer is said to have
accompanied them to help search for evidence. So far, however, the FBI and
the Pentagon are resisting pressure to become more involved in the inquiry,
which is being led by the Secret Service. Sources say that the FBI and the
Pentagon fear that the scandal could become too sordid.*
