Marilyn Monroe Sex Tape?
Watching Paris Hilton have unenthusiastic sex on DVD can be had for about $19.95. Marilyn Monroe will set you back a little more.
A New York businessman has reportedly coughed up $1.5M for a copy of a sex film featuring the late screen actress giving head to an unidentified man.
An illicit copy of the steamy, still-FBI-classified reel - 15 minutes of 16mm film footage in which the original blond bombshell performs oral sex on an unidentified man - was just sold to a New York businessman for $1.5 million, said Keya Morgan, the well-known memorabilia collector who discovered the film and brokered its purchase.
The footage appears to have been shot in the 1950s. When it came to light in the mid-'60s, then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had his agents spend two weeks futilely trying to prove that Monroe's sex partner was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy, according to declassified agency documents and interviews, Morgan said.
Good gig.
I wonder how many times Hoover himself watched it while furiously masturbating into his silk panties.
The FBI confiscated the film from a mob-tied informant back in the '60s, apparently not knowing that the pornhound owner had made a copy to pass along to his son. Thanks, dad!
The silent black-and-white flick shows Monroe on her knees in front of a man whose face is just out of the shot.
He never moves into the shot, indicating that he knew the camera was there, but Monroe never looks at the lens, said Morgan, who saw the footage.
Morgan said he discovered the film while doing research for a documentary on Monroe, after talking with a former FBI agent who told him about a confidential informant who tipped G-men to the existence of the film in the mid-'60s.
[...]
There are heavily redacted, declassified FBI documents talking about a "French-type" film.
They state the informant "exhibited [to agents] a motion picture which depicted deceased actress Marilyn Monroe committing a perverted act upon a unknown male," Morgan said.
The informant was with at least one mobster at the time, the documents state.
According to the documents, "Former baseball star Joseph DiMaggio in the past had offered [the informant] $25,000 for this film, it being the only one in existence, but he refused the offer.
The collector received the dead informant's name from an ex-FBI agent, and eventually got what was probably the surprise of his life.
[He was] floored after he found the mole's son in Washington, DC, and the man retrieved a film canister from a safe-deposit box and spooled it up.
"You see instantly that it's Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole," Morgan said.
"She's smiling, she's very charming, she's very radiant, but she's known for being radiant," he said. "She moves away, and then it [the footage] stops."
Don't start saving those pennies just yet, junior. The buyer of the lost Monroe footage will not be releasing or selling the film, but rather keeping it for his own.
"He said he's just going to lock it up," Morgan said.
"He said, 'I'm not going to make a Paris Hilton out of her. I'm not going to sell it, out of respect.' "
And the legend continues.
crispy desperately tried to fit a "JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say?" reference into this article, but failed miserably.
FBI Moving Out Of Death Circle
The FBI is one of several federal agencies moving outside of Washington DC to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. The city of Winchester is the new home to the FBI because it is outside the blast zone, the fifty-mile distance that will escape fallout from a nuclear explosion in DC.
The I-81 corridor is the hot new location for federal agencies. Several cities along the interstate have been touting their low cost of living, access to the highway and their location outside the death zone from a nuclear weapon explosion.
FEMA has also decided to move operations to Winchester, Virginia. A farm will become an operations center that will employ 700 people. The Department of Homeland Security is looking to relocate around Harrisonburg. The Coast Guard is moving its National Maritime Center from Arlington to Martinsburg, West Virginia and a vacant base; Fort Ritchie is being redeveloped to house intelligence agencies.
The government wants agencies to make their offices more secure and what better way to do it than move outside of the capitol where they will be immediately incinerated during a nuclear blast. The new locations also are great for budgets. The cost of land and labor is lower in Virginia. Workers can find more affordable homes, which would mean shorter commutes for employees and possibly a lower turnover and happier workforce. Also, they won't die during a nuclear blast.
US Nuclear Security Foiled by Trailer Park Mastermind
One of the biggest concerns in the post-cold war era has been nuclear proliferation, and more worrisome, the idea that terrorists could get their hands on a nuclear weapon. That's why the US tries its absolute hardest to keep its own nuclear secrets guarded and hidden from the general public, keeping the lid on Pandora's box. Which makes the recent discovery of classified nuclear weapons research information in a drug raid on a trailer park a bit unnerving.
Police said that material recovered during the search appeared to come from Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The lab, one of two US sites that carry out classified nuclear research, has a history of security breaches.
The owner of the mobile home which was raided is said to be a former employee of one of the lab's sub-contractors.
Police visited the mobile home park in response to reports of a domestic disturbance.
They then carried out a search of the mobile home and a man was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia.
The authorities say they also discovered possibly classified information from the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
In a statement the police said during the course of the search, officers realised that some of the items seized appeared to belong to the cutting-edge centre for nuclear weapons research.
According to the head of the energy department's national nuclear security administration, investigators want to find out how the possible security breach could occur despite extraordinary efforts in the last three years to put strong security procedures in place at Los Alamos and other weapons facilities.
One would assume that after the Wen Ho Lee debacle in 1999, where classified nuclear weapons information from the same lab was discovered to be in the hands of the Chinese government (inicidentally Lee was exonerated of all relevant charges) that security would have been beefed up significantly. If this information does turn out to be the real deal then either it's being carelessly handled or Los Alamos is being infiltrated by spies. Neither situation would be a good thing - nuclear proliferation is already a big enough problem without allowing the spread of even more sophisticated weapons information into the world at large.
Stealing, Looting and Pretty Things on Rumsfeld's Desk
After the 9/11 attacks, firefighters searched for survivors as the smoldering ruins burned the soles off their boots. They needed new ones every few hours. It was the job of Chris Christopherson to make sure they got them. He worked for Keiger Enterprises on Minnesota, a disaster supply management company and he was doing something important.
Imagine his disappointment when the company sent trucks to a Long Island warehouse and loaded hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of donated bottled water, clothes, tools and generators to be moved to Minnesota in a plot to sell the goods and earn a fast track to Satans very hot apartment. Americans had donated all of the supplies.
Christopherson and a co-worker complained to a company executive, but were told to shut their pie holes. Finally they went to the FBI. The two lost their jobs, received death threats and were blackballed in the disaster relief industry. But they had done the right thing and they knew that, as they watched absolutely NOTHING happen. But the two did receive $30,000 each after expenses, their share in a civil settlement against KEI. It is hard to imagine what to do with all that money.
The theft case was referred to prosecutors in New York and was moving forward until it was discovered that an FBI agent in Minnesota had stolen a crystal globe from ground zero. Uh oh, time to slow things down. A further investigation revealed 16 government employees, including a top FBI executive and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, had such artifacts from New York or the Pentagon. FEMA investigator Kirk Beauchamp put it best.
How could you secure an indictment? It would be a conflict.
Well said, brother. The FBI decided not to pursue the investigation, as it would mean prosecuting FBI agents. Case dropped because the FBI decided stealing exposing their taking of a few trinkets was comparable to the theft of 45 tons of emergency supplies. Good call.
