Splitzer had to read the essay on prostitution "A She-Savior" by the well-known Russian author Mikhail Armalinsky. It was published in Moscow edition of his Selected Works http://www.mipco.com/english/introVozn.html
Here is the link: http://www.mipco.com/english/SheSavior.html
The main idea of the essay "A She-Savior" is that the legalization of prostitution must be based on a return of its divine, sacred character, so that prostitution will be considered the most honorable profession, the one closest to God, the holiest.
I'm disgusted but certainly not surprised that the mainstream media ignored Winter Soldier. This has been typical of coverage since 9/11 when corporate media became cheerleaders for war. Here is an article from the Boston Globe, one of the very few mainstream articles, and a brief one.
I distinctly remember the use of this "linked to a prostitution ring" language when the story broke on Monday. That's how it was framed on the news channel playing in the offices of the Congresspeople I happened to be visiting. I remember first thinking to myself "He's running a prostitution organization on the side?", not "He went to see a hooker?".
Anyway, every now and then a prostitution ring bills itself as a "church" or "spiritual counseling practice" or the like. It's never flown very far.
