Four For Friday - The Christmas Parties

This political A-lister comes from a powerful and renowned family. While he was alive, he held a state-level A+ list position before briefly being a heartbeat away from becoming an A++ lister. Although he is no longer a household name like he was during his lifetime, his influence was global due to his family’s history and connections. 

He was fond of holding Christmas parties with a guest list that boasted other wealthy and powerful individuals like himself. In actuality, these parties were fronts for honeypot operations, where he and his family would use heavily conditioned women he would sexually traffic to target his powerful guests. There have been many victims who have come forward (sometimes openly, but often in private) and attested to how they were used to both compromise these influential men and extract any information the political A-lister and his family could use to achieve their geopolitical and financial aims. 

But it wasn’t just the victims who lifted the veil about what went on. There was also the permanent A-list director. Many decades ago, and before he became a recluse, the permanent A-list director and the A-list politician were based in the same city and ran in the same social circles. This is how he got to meet the A-list politician’s advisor, who would become one of the inspirations for the eponymous character of one of his earlier films.

For his later film, he modeled one of the scenes in the beginning after the political A-lister’s parties, with the party’s host (played by another A-list director) based on the political A-lister. To drive the point home further, the permanent A-list director inserted subtle references to the political A-lister and his family’s names and cultural legacy. This scene detailed much of what the victims described, even down to the coded Wizard of Oz terms that were used in the conditioning and trafficking operation taking place, a theme that the permanent A-list director maintained throughout the film. 

Maybe those who misunderstood the subtext should ask themselves why most of the women in the film were presented as lacking any sexual agency and dissociative sex toys for powerful men.
