Re: Conspiracy of Silence
This is the description from youtube:
Conspiracy of Silence, a documentary listed for viewing in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on May 3, 1994. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies.
Many children suffered the indignity of wearing nothing but their underwear and a number displayed on a piece of cardboard hanging from their necks when being auctioned off to foreigners in Las Vegas, Nevada and Toronto, Canada.
At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired. Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed.
A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired FBI Agent Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by the participants involved.
EDIT: P, thoughts?
Re: Conspiracy of Silence
Can't really watch the whole thing due to it's poor quality & lentgh, but offhand my guess is the whole "Was going to air on Discovery Channel until Congress made them stop" or whatever is bullshit. It just looks like an old news documentary someone made. Not saying the xcontent is fake, just the background story to it being "covered up by the Go'vt but now leaked out.
Re: Conspiracy of Silence
Sorry PaSnow, I wasn't calling you out with the "P". After looking at the members list, I realized polluxlm doesn't come around anymore.
Regardless, here is the Wikipedia entry:
Franklin child prostitution ring allegations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Conspiracy of Silence (documentary))
Jump to: navigation, search
The Franklin child prostitution ring allegations were a series of allegations and legal actions surrounding an alleged child sex ring serving high-level U.S. politicians. The scandal centered around the actions of Lawrence E. King, a former official at the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska. King was eventually arrested and convicted of embezzlement charges.
The allegations were investigated by a special Nebraska state legislative committee and the FBI. A 1990 grand jury report concluded the allegations amounted to a "carefully crafted hoax," although the alleged perpetrators of said hoax were never officially identified. Allegations of a coverup have circulated since, including several books and a documentary film. King eventually served 10 years of a 15-year prison sentence for embezzlement and fraud. He was later served with a $1M default judgment after he failed to appear in court to respond to civil charges of kidnapping and child abuse.
Child abuse and prostitution allegations
Allegations linking the Franklin Credit Union to a child prostitution ring began to surface in 1988, during an unrelated federal investigation into financial malfeasance at the credit union. News of the abuse allegations made national headlines when the New York Times reported on December 18, 1988, that the "Omaha office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation acknowledged that it had independently received reports of sexual abuse and that they were a subject of its own criminal inquiry into the credit union affair."[1]
On June 29, 1989, six months after the Franklin story was reported in the New York Times, claims of a child sex ring with ties to high-level U.S. politicians was reported by the Washington Times in an article bearing the headline "Homosexual Prostitution Inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush."[2] The Washington Times article, by Paul M. Rodriguez and George Archibald, alleged that key officials of the Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations were connected to an elaborate Washington, D.C. male prostitution ring, and reported that two of these prostitutes even entered the White House late at night. The allegations included, among other things, charges of "abduction and use of minors for sexual perversion." The Washington Times article made no mention of a possible connection to the Franklin case.
[edit]
Grand jury findings
On January 10, 1990, the Nebraska State legislature convened a special committee to look into the allegations with State Senator Loran Schmit as Chairman. On January 30, 1990, Nebraska State Attorney General Robert Spire called for a grand jury to investigate the allegations. On February 6, 1990, former County District Judge Samuel Van Pelt was appointed a special prosecutor for the Douglas County Grand Jury, which convened on March 12, 1990. On July 23, 1990, after hearing many hours of testimony, the county grand jury threw out all of the allegations concerning sexual child abuse, labeling the charges a "carefully crafted hoax [...] scripted by a person or persons with considerable knowledge of the people and institutions of Omaha," but without identifying who perpetrated the hoax.[3]
[edit]
Lawrence King convictions
Lawrence E. King, among the key people named in the allegations, was eventually convicted of embezzling thirty-eight million dollars as manager of the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union in Nebraska.[4] King was one of the Republican party's rising stars, performing the national anthem at the 1984 and 1988 Republican National Conventions. According to the original December 18, 1988, New York Times article, Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers stated King's involvement in the Franklin scandal was "just the tip of an iceberg, and he's not in it by himself."[5] Who or what exactly Chambers was referring to remains unclear, however, the New York Times reported Chambers claimed to have heard credible reports of "boys and girls, some of them from foster homes, who had been transported around the country by airplane to provide sexual favors, for which they were rewarded."[6]
[edit]
Bonacci case
On February 1, 1991, former Nebraska state senator John DeCamp filed a civil suit on behalf of Paul Bonacci, against the Catholic Archbishop of Omaha and Lawrence E. King, as well as businessmen Peter Citron, Alan Baer, Harold Andersen, Michael Hoch, Kenneth Bovasso and other Nebraska persons and institutions.
Paul A. Bonacci won a default judgment of $800,000 in compensatory damages and $200,000 in punitive damages in the civil action against Lawrence E. King in which the petition alleged kidnapping, mind control, satanic ritual abuse, sexual abuse, and various alleged personal injuries, both physical and psychological. The judge did not rule on these allegations, but merely ruled on the motion for default judgment.
The judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska in Omaha, on February 27, 1999, was a default judgment following defendant King's failure to appear in response to the charges. At the time, King was in prison, having been sentenced in June 1991 to 15 years (3 consecutive 5-year sentences) following conviction in the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union criminal case on charges including conspiracy, embezzlement, and falsifying book entries.[7] Before his release, an appeal of the $1 million judgment against him was filed. In January 2000, Lawrence King dropped the appeal to the $1 million judgment against him. He was released from prison on April 10, 2001.

Cover up allegations
The 1990 grand jury report came less than two weeks after private detective Gary Caradori, who was hired by a special Nebraska state legislative committee to investigate the allegations, was killed when the small plane he was piloting broke up in flight over Illinois. Senator Loran Schmit, chairman of the legislative committee, told the Omaha World-Herald that "[Caradori] believed that something was going to come out of this investigation. He believed that the evidence was there to be developed and that things couldn't stay under cover forever."[8]
In 1990, the Schiller Institute, a German-based organization associated with Lyndon LaRouche, created a ten-member group called "Citizens Fact-Finding Commission to Investigate Human Rights Violations of Children in Nebraska." Led by Reverend James Bevel, the group gathered signatues on a petition asking the legislature to extend Senator Schmit's investigation.[9] Additionally, the Executive Intelligence Review published an article which alleged that children associated with the Franklin prostitution ring had been murdered in satanic rituals. Reprints of the article were distributed in Omaha and Lincoln.[10]
Former Nebraska state senator John DeCamp, who was close to the original Franklin investigation and provided legal counsel to several of the alleged victims in the case including Paul Bonacci, eventually authored a book titled: The Franklin Cover-up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska. In the book, DeCamp describes the alleged connection to the Washington, D.C. prostitution ring and what he believes amounted to a coverup. The book was first published in 1992. A second, revised edition of the book was published in 2006.
LaRouche followers Webster Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin also wrote about the Franklin Credit Union scandal and its alleged connection to the Washington prostitution ring in a book titled George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography. The book was published by Executive Intelligence Review in 1992.[11]
More rumors of a coverup surfaced when a national television broadcast of Conspiracy of Silence, an hour-long documentary film about the scandal produced by Yorkshire Television, was cancelled unexpectedly. The film was scheduled to air May 3, 1994, on the Discovery Channel and was listed in the April 30th - May 6th edition of TV Guide magazine, but the broadcast was pulled for reasons that remain unclear.[citation needed]
In 2009, a new book by investigative journalist Nick Bryant was published about the scandal and the alleged coverup. The book is titled: The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal.

Re: Conspiracy of Silence
Yeah I've read about this case on the conspiracy sites before. I never believed it.
alleged that key officials of the Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations were connected to an elaborate Washington, D.C. male prostitution ring, and reported that two of these prostitutes even entered the White House late at night. The allegations included, among other things, charges of "abduction and use of minors for sexual perversion."
Bullshit. Reagan wouldn't even let people take their coats off in the Oval Office, but he lets dicks get sucked there? That dog wont hunt.
Also, they take these allegations to the extreme. Having sex with minors isn't bad enough for this conspiracy, so they include gay sex and satanic rituals? Please.
Re: Conspiracy of Silence
Oh I believe Reagen butt fucked little kids, I just don't believe it was going to air on the Discovery Channel
j/k sounds ridiculous. I'm sure some politicians along the years have been into kiddie sex & gay sex, just look at how many prosititutes have come forward recently. And the guy involved with the pages in Florida I think. I'm sure others are out there, but bringing kids into the White House & other conspiracies (threatening to ruin the DISC channel) just seem like add-ons to make it a better theory. "The governments trying to stop the story man":peace:
Otherwise the story isn't all that shocking in and of itself "There were gay politicians in the past!" "Yeah, so,?!"
Re: Conspiracy of Silence
Interesting watch. It certaintly comes across as Lawrence King as well as other high-ranking officials were probably involved in some sort of male prostitution ring. Sadists most definitely, but let's not confuse pedophilic sicko with "gay". Two different things.
However, I don't buy the White House stuff. Seems to stray off too far in to conspiracy theory land, and that Troy guy didn't have much credibility at all. He seemed all too happy to be talking about it, and the threats n' such with him seemed more delusional than real, imho.
But there's definitely something there. But like any conspiracy, it's been exaggerated and used so much that it's a very over-exaggerated account of what actually took place.
My guess is some teens, male and female, were involved in kinky sex with public officials... the conspiracy theorists get it, and suddenly it becomes Reagan sticking a Pineapple in the ass of a 9-year old boy in the Oval Office.
Re: Conspiracy of Silence
Also, they take these allegations to the extreme. Having sex with minors isn't bad enough for this conspiracy, so they include gay sex and satanic rituals? Please.
Keep in mind who we're talking about here:
Vladimir Putin kisses the belly of a boy cause he's such a pretty kid.
America's elite sharing a few drinks and a good meal before they go perform mock human sacrifice in honor of ancient occult gods.
And as far as I recall the kids weren't brought to the Caesar's residence to fuck, it was just a kind gesture from a probably very pleased public official. I mean, what kid doesn't want to see the White House!
P, thoughts?
Always difficult to say with these cases, but I think for those knowledgeable it is beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Church and their institutions have been involved in some extremely shady activities when it comes to kids and their asses. It is also pretty much confirmed that certain portions of the elite have secret parties on a regular basis with some very weird sexual practices, some no doubt involving minors.
And for those that don't believe these guys perform satanic rituals might reminisce this piece of art from one of our masters:
Not to mention the plethora of information all around the web depicting various characters of the very high elite saturating themselves in occult and satanic symbolism and worship. They don't call themselves the Black Nobility for nothing. But I won't go into all of that here.
