Mata Hari and other sex front fighters who caused political scandals
It's not just men in suits who can be secret agents. And the girls we want to tell you about once again confirm this.
Read below about the role of such famous sex industry stars as Cicciolina, Mary Carey, Kristin Keeler and Mata Hari in political life.
Kristin Keeler
The beautiful Kristin Keeler is often compared to Mata Hari. However, she, unlike her predecessor, was able to avoid punishment for reckless behavior and her alleged espionage. And this is despite the fact that the girl became the cause of a major political scandal that matured in the UK in the 60s and was called the "Profumo Case". However, let's take it in order.
It all started in 1957, when Christine Keeler moved from a small provincial town to London. The girl dreamed of building a career as a model, but so far she has only managed to dance topless in a local cabaret. Once it was there that Kristin met Stephen Ward — an osteopathic doctor who worked in the circles of the rich and famous in people, including politicians.In addition to osteopathy, Ward also painted pictures, and in his spare time developed his escort agency. The man provided his influential acquaintances with "girls for the evening", for which he received a generous reward. Soon, one of his employees was Kristin Keeler.
Kristin could have remained one of thousands of prostitutes, if at one point she did not have an affair with the Soviet spy Yevgeny Ivanov and the British Minister of War John Profumo. The situation became public when another admirer of the girl tracked her to the house of Ward and began to shoot him. During the investigation of this case, the police identified links between Kristin, Ivanov and Profumo.
Everyone around her was convinced that the girl was prying political secrets out of the minister and passing information on to a Soviet spy. However, it was not possible to prove Keeler's guilt. As a result, the British model got off with nine months in prison for "deceiving justice", and after she was released, she published four autobiographies, starred in an erotic photo project and became a real celebrity.
True, Kristin's fame did not last long. When she was forgotten, she returned to prostitution, gave birth to two children by two different men, and died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in December 2017.
Cicciolina
Cicciolina (real name Anna Ilona Staller) — the first hard-core porn star to become a member of parliament. The girl was born in Budapest in the family of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Hungary and a midwife. From an early age, Anna worked as a model, but at the age of 18 she became an informant for local intelligence. Cicciolina's job was to provide information about American diplomats who stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel, where she worked as an undercover maid.
Despite her outspoken behavior, in 1985 Anna joined the Radical Party, and in 1987 she became a member of the lower house of parliament. Cicciolina advocated the abolition of scientific experiments and the provision of sexual education to people. But many were sure that all this time the girl seduced members of parliament and extracted from them the necessary information for further transfer to the Hungarian intelligence service.
It was not possible to confirm these suspicions, so Cicciolina continued to engage in political activities and build a career in the porn industry. In 1991, the sex star founded the "Love Party" and together with it advocated for the abolition of censorship and sexual freedom. Would you join?
Mary Carey
Mary Carey is a well-known pornographic actress, who only in the period from 2002 to 2011 managed to take part in 111 "adult films". However, in 2003, the beauty suddenly went into politics and put forward her candidacy for governor of California.
Her campaign program was as simple as possible-to introduce a tax on silicone breasts and legalize same-sex marriage. And Mary also demanded to install cameras in the offices of all the governors and make a special website where you could watch what was happening online. As you can see, Mary Carey didn't have many followers. Except for her most devoted fans.
At first glance, it may seem that this is an innocent prank of a flighty girl, but in fact, Mary's role in this political process was much more important. We can say that it was thanks to her that Arnold Schwarzenegger won the election race. After all, who will vote for a porn star who cares about same-sex marriage and cameras in offices. Against her background, the Hollywood actor looked more serious and promising candidate.Although Mary was not actually a spy, she nevertheless " worked undercover." In politics, this is called the "technical rival of the real contender for victory". And the main thing is that after her loss, the porn actress did not lose anything — her popularity only increased.
Mata Hari
Mata Hari is one of the most famous spies in the history of mankind, and in general, a very mysterious person. There were always a lot of rumors around the girl, and she only "added fuel to the fire" by writing mystical stories about herself. For example, Mata assured others that she was an Indian princess and had grown up in a Buddhist monastery.
In fact, Margareta Gertrude Zelle (real name Mata Hari) was a Dutch citizen, and during the First World War was engaged in espionage for Germany.
But initially, Mata became famous for her oriental dances, which somewhat resembled a modern striptease. At the end of the performance, the girl remained on the stage almost without clothes, strewn with rose petals. The dancer had a rather narrow circle of admirers, because the then public was not yet familiar with this kind of art. However, the girl's career was rapidly climbing, until she made a fatal mistake.
Mata Hari became a double spy and began working for two countries at once-Germany and France. When the French learned of this, they ordered the girl to be shot. It is worth noting that she is far from the only double agent whose fate ended in this way.
