Ex-CIA: Most People Don't Know They Already Qualify for CIA Recruitment
"When somebody is willing to go with you to a ladyboy bar where you buy them a ladyboy prostitute, once somebody has sex with a transvestite and you've paid for it, then they'll tell you any secret you want. Because what could possibly be more secret than that. That's the way true espionage works."
A former CIA officer reveals that real-world sexual exploitation operations are far darker than Hollywood portrayals, often involving compromising targets through taboo sexual encounters rather than glamorous seduction. He explains that effective honey traps target people's hidden shame and guilt, with former Soviet states and Russia excelling at these operations by recruiting non-officers as the actual participants.
