Here is what appears to be an important book that has just been released (August 2009) about the Franklin child abuse cover-up, called The Franklin Scandal, by Nick Bryant. The official website for the book is http://franklinscandal.com, and it is available at Amazon.com and other online booksellers, as well as from the publisher, Trine Day.

The FRANKLIN SCANDAL
A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal
By Nick Bryant

A chilling expos� of corporate corruption and government cover-ups, this account of a nationwide child-trafficking and pedophilia ring in the United States tells a sordid tale of corruption in high places. The scandal originally surfaced during an investigation into Omaha, Nebraska's failed Franklin Federal Credit Union and took the author beyond the Midwest and ultimately to Washington, DC. Implicating businessmen, senators, major media corporations, the CIA, and even the venerable Boys Town organization, this extensively researched report includes firsthand interviews with key witnesses and explores a controversy that has received scant media attention.

The FRANKLIN SCANDAL is the story of a nationwide pedophile ring that pandered children to a cabal of the rich and powerful. The ring�s pimps were a pair of Republican powerbrokers who used Boys Town as a pedophiliac reservoir, had access to the highest levels of our government, and connections to the CIA.

Nebraska legislators nearly exposed the ring in 1990, but its unveiling had the potential to produce seismic political aftershocks, so a rash of deaths and a full court press by federal and local law enforcement effected an immaculate cover-up.

State and federal grand juries in Nebraska and a former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia played an integral role in the cover-up, and the author has had access to thousands of documents that would ultimately be sealed by the two grand juries. My documentation includes Omaha Police Department reports and internal memos, Nebraska State Patrol reports, Nebraska Department of Social Services reports, internal Boys Town reports, victim debriefings, hundreds of the ring�s airline receipts, etc.

The power elite sating their appetite for forbidden fruit via pedophilia and pedophiliac sadism is an evil that dates back millennia: Roman emperor Tiberius reportedly indulged in pedophilia and then murdered his victims. Moreover, pedophile rings linked to the powerful have recently been exposed in Belgium, Portugal, Chile, and Mexico.

The FRANKLIN SCANDAL will be the first commercially-published book to tell the tale of a power elite pedophile ring in the U.S. and also of the cover-up of its heinous crimes. Various news organizations have attempted to break aspects of this story, but the reports have either been ignored or mysteriously shelved. Major news agencies, including ABC, have backed away from pursuing this story; conversely, CBS abetted its cover-up. It�s obvious that very powerful people have a vested interest in safeguarding this secret.

Nick Bryant�s writing has recurrently focused on the plight of disadvantaged children in the United States, and he�s been published in numerous national journals, including the Journal of Professional Ethics, Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness, Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, and Journal of School Health. He has also published a book, America�s Children: Triumph of Tragedy, addressing the medical and developmental problems of lower socioeconomic children in America. His mainstream and investigative journalism has appeared in The Twin Cities Reader, Salon.com, Gear, and Playboy.�

It was scheduled to air on Discovery Channel in 1994, but was pulled at the last minute by pressure from Congress. Our most powerful politicians did not want us to see this documentary. It is available for free on Google video. PS-Does anyone know if Craig met Bryant?

In fact, he was recently scheduled to speak at a benefit for Granville Academy, an afterschool program for kids that BMW of Sterling sponsors. After complaints from the public he was dropped from the speaker list. The owner of the dealership is a guy by the name of Thomas A. Moorehead, who at one time owned dealerships in, of all places, Omaha. He is apparently a friend of King's who doesn't mind his shady past. I haven't read Bryant's book yet, but I'm curious if he talked about the Moorehead/King connection. Have any of you guys read it yet?

No I haven't but very interesting.

It freaks me out to think about walking into a dealership and seeing King.

I've got DeCamp's "Franklin Coverup" on PDF and there is no mention of a Moorehead.

The whole Franklin case is necessary reading for anyone who cannot understand how 9/11 can happen - the sheer effort expended to shut people up, marginalise people or just get rid of them altogether. Multiply that by a thousand and 9/11 is easier to comprehend.

I'm sure the investigations will be closed off before they go too deeply and he will be cast out and demonised - them the media will move on.

My eyes nearly popped when I saw that he had been accused of child abuse in Jersey's Haut de la Garenne children's home (a tax haven island off the coast of France loyal to the British Crown) as early as 2008.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/oct/0...-childrens-home

Why is this significant?

KP, do you remember the widespread media coverage of this? Where 30 victims came forward, cellars, a bathroom, children's teeth and signs of torture were unearthed? The trail was starting to lead to governmental bodies on the island itself and to the UK. The entire media machine was stopped in its tracks. Case closed.

Those poor bastards that built up the courage to come forward were summarily dismissed and all police reports publically broadcast on television were denied!

Now the hypocritical media are whipping up a frenzy but without the investigative digging of course.

To show just how much this case was whitewashed, I have to adjust the initial figures in my earlier post

QUOTE

Jersey Police have officially marked the end of the Historic Abuse Inquiry.

The investigation, which to date has cost seven and a half million pounds has seen seven successful prosecutions.

The historical abuse inquiry, known as Operation Rectangle, was carried out by the States of Jersey Police between September, 2007 and December, 2010.�

The conclusion of the trial involving Morag and Tony Jordan marks the end of a thorough and detailed enquiry into allegations of historical abuse within the child care system in Jersey during the period from 1941 to 2009.

The scope of the inquiry, the details of which are set out below, dealt with offences committed in childrens homes, institutions and private residences within the Island. A major part of the inquiry focused on matters at the former childrens home Haut de la Garenne, where enquiries covered the period between 1960 to 1986, when the home closed.

During the lifetime of Operation Rectangle:

1,776 statements were taken.�

9,874 documents were collated during the enquiry, with 4,620 exhibits seized.�

533 offences were reported and recorded under the National Crime Recording Standards.1 Under these standards, one offence is recorded for either a single offence or series of similar offences against one victim by the same alleged offender.�

Of the total of 533 offences, 274 were alleged sexual offences; 238 were offences of assault, ill-treatment or neglect, 17 were offences of Grave and Criminal Assault and there were four other offences.�

315 offences were reported as being committed at Haut de la Garenne; 66 at other homes or institutions and 152 at places where children were fostered or in private addresses.�

43% of all offences allegedly committed at Haut de la Garenne were sexual offences. 84% of all offences in foster care or private residences were sexual offences.

Eight people (seven men and one woman) have been charged and tried before the Courts in Jersey with seven successful prosecutions resulting from these cases.�

The eight people were prosecuted for a total of 145 offences (27%).�

As a result of the complaints received, 151 named offenders were identified, 41 other offenders were not identified.

A total of 192 individual victims were identified.

30 of the named offenders were identified as having died before the inquiry was undertaken.

The total policing costs of the Historical Abuse Inquiry to date is �7,574,636, of which �5,088,328 is staff costs and �2,486,308 comprising non-staff costs (e.g. accommodation , travel and forensic costs).

Where appropriate, legal advice was obtained to determine if there was sufficient evidence to justify proceedings.

In recent months, the investigating team has also undertaken a detailed and thorough re-examination of all of the evidence to ensure that there were no potential lines of enquiry which remained outstanding.�

David Warcup, Acting Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police, said: Investigations of this nature are particularly difficult and protracted, especially for the victims, and officers have worked hard to ensure that the needs of victims have been met. Every allegation or complaint has been given full and proper consideration and all possible lines of enquiry have been pursued.

At this point in time, there is no evidence from which it would be possible to mount any further prosecutions.

Should evidence become available then the force will review this to determine what, if any, further action should be taken.

Davyecc, you ask what book I have been reading. Facts Daveycc, just facts. Amongst other things the report of UK Anthropologist Andrew Chamberlain dealing with 16 fragments of bone submitted to University of Sheffield and positively id�d as human bone and dated between 1940s to 1980s. Exhibit JAR/30: 3-4; 1940s to 1980s. Two fragments of burnt bone one a fragment of longbone, JAR/61: 183 Zone 4 East Cellar: 1960s to present date, 23 Fragments of bone: A burnt bone fragment which closely resembles a human juvenile mastoid process. A burnt fragment of possibly human mandible. 3 fragments of burnt long bone, 7 fragments of unidentified burnt cortical and trabecular bone, a fragment of slightly burnt long bone resembling human and appeared to have been cut at one end. Sorry, not enough room or time to put the numerous other details of the finds from the forensic report on here but I guess youll get my drift. The report is in the public domain for all to read. Unless of course Dr Chamberlain just made it all up and nothing was found at HdlG!

Fucking "GLs" would defend even this. I feel really sorry for their kids.

I don't know if this guy is credible, so I'll have to do more research on him, but worth a look.

(Note: This same guy was all over the alternative media a few months back as an Olympic "whistleblower". At the time I didn't write him off, but I also took his claims with a grain of salt and wondered who he was and where he had come from. I did a little preliminary research but never got to fully follow up. Here's his YouTube page.)

�I RAN THE GAUNTLET OF PEDOPHILES IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY�, SAYS FORMER CHILD ACTOR
�Jimmy Savile wasn�t the only one at the BBC�, says investigative journalist and former child actor Ben Fellows

By Ben Fellows
21st Century Wire
Guest Columnist

Jimmy Savile may be the villain of the moment concerning revelations about child sexual abuse at the BBC, but the truth is there are pedophiles everywhere in the entertainment industry. Many of them are in positions of power and influence within their respective organisations, including adult stars, directors, producers and executives.

The following accounts are just some of my own personal experiences � and brushes with pedophilia out in the entertainment and big media spheres, as a child star who attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London�

At the age of ten years old I was asked by my drama teacher to go and audition at the Royal Shakespeare Company. They were looking for a mixed race boy to play alongside Hugh Quarshi who was playing Banquo, in Adrian Nobles� production of MacBeth starring Jonathan Price and Sinead Cusack. Having gone to the audition, taken by my parents, I was lucky enough to get the part of Fleance. However, after the high of getting offered a part in the production, my chaperones � who looked after me like secret service agents (I�m not kidding) � told me that there were certain actors that I was not allowed to be alone with. As a child at the RSC, I was just having a blast and didn�t realise that sexual predators were a part of my production, however, there were certain actors who were famous and who I was warned about.

I was told in no uncertain terms never to go into certain actor�s dressing rooms. On one occasion I actually did go into an actor�s dressing room who closed the door behind me. I was offered alcohol� and before I knew it, the dressing room door burst open and my chaperone invited me to go back to my own dressing room.� Of course nothing happened to me whilst at the RSC. My point is that the RSC were quite aware of pedophiles in their midst. It was an open secret that children were vulnerable, even this highly rated, professional environment.

TV�s �Casting Couch�

However, once I�d entered the entertainment industry proper, I was not so lucky and ran a gauntlet of pedophiles � both at the BBC and at other television production companies, and also in theatres, as well as on commercial photo shoots. In fact, almost every production I was involved with, I was targeted in some way or another. Looking back, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the problem is both institutional and systemic in the entertainment industry.

The casting couch may seem like a funny, perhaps even mythical old Hollywood style, approach to casting. As pre-teen and as a young teenager, I attended many auditions as a child where I was asked to take my top off and pose for photographs, and I was propositioned by male and female casting directors all the time.
