According to a report from Rolling Stone’s Jack Crosbie, a woman who once served in the CIA and was dubbed “The Queen of Torture” in a New Yorker profile for her part in tracking down Osama bin Laden has resurfaced with a new career.
Alfreda Scheuer, who was the basis for the Maya, the character played by Jessica Chastain played in the controversial film Zero Dark Thirty, has moved on from interrogation techniques to advising women on their beauty needs.
In a fascinating aside, the report notes, Scheuer (formerly Bikowsky) is now married to former CIA case officer Michael Scheurer who has become a vocal booster of QAnon theories.
As for Alfreda, she recently gave an interview to Reuters, discussing her years in government service before becoming a YBeu Beauty Personal Coach.
According to Crosbie, “Her identity was long shielded from the public, despite Scheuer’s disastrous record in several high-ranking positions at the agency (The New Yorker wrote that she was the source of ‘years’ worth of terrible judgment’). Judging by what she told Reuters, she doesn’t regret a thing, telling the publication that waterboarding was not torture, and that she received criticism a male spy wouldn’t have gotten in a similar role,” adding that, to this day, she mainatins she was doing her job.
“I got that title because I was in the arena,” she insisted. “In fact, I raised my hand loud and proud and you know, I don’t regret it at all.”
She also told Reuters, “I know what it’s like to leave your comfort zone to try something new. I had finished a three decades + career as a senior government executive leading teams, mostly females, tasked with no-fail missions, taking smart risks, and even making life-and-death decisions. I loved every minute of it.”
As for her new career, Crosbie claims her sales pitches seem a little sketchy.
“Many of the products Scheuer promotes are questionable, to say the least. In one Facebook video, she pushes a skin ‘serum’ containing human stem cells. ‘You might see other products that advertised stem cells, but they are mostly derived from plants, which are not nearly as efficacious as actual human stem cells,’ Scheuer says of the $295 bottle,” he wrote, adding, “Scheuer’s website wasn’t operational when Rolling Stone tried to access it.”
I wonder if she would consider waterboarding torture if someone did it to her. 🤔 People have drowned during that.
Sometimes to fight monsters you must become one as well. Waterboarding a torture equivalent to electric probes in your privates? or nail pulling? probably not, and as we all still asking questions about the efficacy of torture, if it saved innocent lives, I have no problems with people that held their scruples in control to do an unpleasant but necessary job.
Turn her loose on the democrats, CIA, fbi and we will get to the bottom of this Communist overthrow rinos n media call Covid and the Biden administration
There are no communists in USA Govt as I do not hear anybody suggesting government appropriate all means of production, COVID is very real as proven by the hundreds of thousands of Americans no longer alive and those still suffering long term and in a democratic republic , if you are unhappy you reflect this with your vote and NOT an “overthrow” or a coup as tried by the Trump GOP. And regarding RINOs, it seems you are not really qualified to describe real republican values if you are suggesting we torture our own government officials.
