image'Ladies of the Night’ in Cartagena, Colombia, allegedly involved with 12 of Obama’s Secret Service agents sent packing amid allegations that at least one was found with a hooker, must be nonplussed. The dozen Secret Service Agents, assigned to protect President Barack Obama in Colombia, were relieved of duty and replaced.
Sultry Cartagena, Colombia, is the site of this weekend’s Summit of Americas with more than 30 world leaders in attendance. Cartagena hookers would be the first to tell you that there’s nothing new about politicians and prostitutes, or delegates and ‘sex workers’. Google the United Nations for proof. When tens of thousands of delegates attended the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, the UN made food tasters and prostitutes available, and put strippers who would be performing on diets.

Touted as the biggest UN meeting in history, and the one that would end poverty, the summit cost more than $50 million in the middle of famine-thrust South Africa. Said Newsmax.com in a press release on the summit: “But others think the event is the funniest, most hypocritical thing since global fatcats stuffed their faces at the so-called World Food Summit.” “According to far-thinking UN officials, to satisfy the expected demands, brothels were bringing in prostitutes from other cities and even from neighbouring African countries.” (Canada Free Press, September 2, 2002). Little was made in the mainstream media of the prostitutes and food tasters made available for summit VIPS. “Ironic that while heads of state could have their food tasted for poison by paid food tasters, there is no food to taste for more than a million inhabitants of Africa where a famine is taking its toll.” Members of the world’s oldest profession, identified in politically correct times as ‘sex workers’ rather than prostitutes or hookers, have always found ways to look after their own. Prostitutes offered free Climate Summit sex in Copenhagen in 2009. “Copenhagen Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards to city hotels warning summit guests not to patronize Danish sex workers during the upcoming conference.” (SPIEGELONLINE, Dec. 4, 2009). “Now the prostitutes have struck back, offering free sex to anyone who produces one of the warnings. “Copenhagen’s city council in conjunction with Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to ‘Be Sustainable--don’t buy sex’.” Meanwhile back in Colombia, the incident in Cartagena threatened to overshadow Obama’s economic and trade agenda at the summit and embarrass the U.S. While jokes and speculation ran rampant in local bars, the White House had no comment. Obama was attending a leaders’ dinner Friday night at Cartagena’s historic Spanish fortress. He was due to attend summit meetings with regional leaders today and Sunday. But the Bogota buzz is not about the sex workers, it’s about whether ailing Venezuela President Hugo Chavez will crash the summit, say CFP colleagues at Bogota Free Planet. (BFP). “Undergoing radiation treatment for cancer, Chavez said his doctors would decide if he could go to Cartagena. But he scoffed at the meeting anyway, saying it was pointless because Cuba was not invited due to U.S. and Canadian opposition. "Why have more summits of the Americas? We should put an end to the summits," Chavez said in a speech to tens of thousands of supporters in downtown Caracas.” (Yahoo-Reuters)
