while ago, I listened to a podcast about the Franklin case, of which I'd never heard before.
It was a very wellproduced podcast, and by the end, I was not only absolutely convinced that every word was true, but also absolutely terrified.
Now, my autistic brain may or may not have had something to do with this, but in my defense, it was a really wellmade podcast that actually turned out to have left out some of the more unlikely parts of the case, and that made it all the more convincing.
After listening to the podcast, I immediately downloaded this book, expecting it to further support what I had heard in the podcast.
But that didn't happen.
If you're unfamiliar with the case, it's all about an alleged coverup of child prostitution, child pornography, satanic rituals and embezzlement where some very prominent politicians and other important members of society are implicated.
The thing is, the podcast didn't say a word about the satanism, making the whole thing a lot more likely.
Where the book makes me doubt is at the "satanistseatinghundredsofbabies" scenario, After all, they must have come from somewhere, and someone must be missing them, The flying with helicopters around the countryside also seems a rather elaborate way to travel, even for highranking satanists, for the purpose of maiming random cows.
Seems absurd, rather.
Now, the child trafficking is something more close to home, after all, we know that's a definite problem.
So I'm of two minds, you might say, While this book didn't help convince me further, but actually made me more skeptical, I'm not convinced that it's all bollocks.
Some of the alleged trafficking victims tell some very striking stories, backed up by seemingly dependable evidence, and one wonders how and why you would make it up.
I just don't know what I think,
Some parts of the book are plain boring, though, Quite a few chapters deal with the embezzlement part of the case, with business deals legal and illegal, and quite frankly I don't get any of it.
Those chapters are just words,
This book is written in an alright manner, but it's hardly a masterpiece, and some chapters are quite frankly tedious.
However, quite a lot of the book is interesting, whether its claims are true or not, If you want to understand how political system operates in USA, this is the ONLY book to read:
"The Franklin investigators had lifted a comer of the rug, under which could be glimpsed a national and international organized crime syndicate, engaged in pedophilia, pornography, satanism, drugs, and moneylaundering, and protected, as their own limited investigation began to show, by federal authorities.
Pull a thread on any comer of this vast, seamless web, and the whole begins to unravel.
Among the backers and contacts of Larry King and the Franklin Credit Union, certain standouts deserve special attention.
These are Harold Andersen and his WorldHerald, former state Game and Parks Commissioner Eugene Mahoney, Omaha multibillionaire Warren Buffett, FirstTier Bank, Union Pacific Railroad, the famous Boys Town orphanage, and the Omaha Girls Club.
The Omaha corporations that bankrolled Larry King and Franklin are also the major sponsors of youth organizations in Nebraska, such as Boys Club, Girls Club, Boy Scouts, Boys Town, Uta Halee Home for Girls, and others.
These corporations donate millions of dollars per year to these organizations, as the annual reports of the recipients show.
Many executives of these firms sit on the boards of the youth care facilities, " If you think that it can't happen this book may just open your eyes to the criminal activity of the materially successful, and the hypocrisy that permeates our society that helps cover up, protect, and even promote wrongdoing in some cases.
There were elements of the book that are off putting, Not the least that DeCamp was willing to defame Hunter S, Thompson as the worst sort of scum based on the eyewitness testimony of a very fragile witness.
But there were other problems, too, I cant go into every single one I have because this is a dense book, but Ill touch on the highlights of just how DeCamp was not my cup of tea.
In the minds of true believers, I cant debunk a conspiracy anyway, All I can do is discuss some of the WTF moments in the book, moments when I felt kind of annoyed with DeCamps narration or the irrational presence of Ted Gunderson.
sitelinkRead the entire review here, just read the fucker! Disturbing, I'm from Omaha. I remember when the financial scandal broke in the mid's, Wish everyone would read this book I almost wish I'd never read this book, . .
Disgusting, heartbreaking, infuriating, I kept thinking these things couldn't possibly be true, How could anyone be capable of such acts The most eyeopening book about the atrocities going on in our communities and how and by whom they are hidden.
It was difficult to finish this book, but I'm glad I did, TITLE: The Franklin Coverup
WHY I CHOSE THIS BOOK: It was recommended to me by a coworker
REVIEW: I was going to give it no but I didn't want it to seem like I just forgot to rate it and I wanted it know how much I dislike this book.
I would give it zero or very close to zero, Why did I finish the book if I disliked it so much Yes, in part, I like to finish things so I can give a full assessment.
Often books I have not liked at first will turn around for me, This book the more I read, just confirmed my initial impression, I also felt guilty for not liking it and questioning its credibility, It is a book about child sexual abuse, I am one of those people who will believe the accuser, unless something seems grossly off, Right off the story being told made me skeptical, I kept interrogating myself as to why, It is not as if I do not believe children get abused, that often the abusers get away with it, that powerful people will go to extremes to cover it up, that the government local, state or federal never commit malfeasance.
It just felt like every horror story that ever happened or was created in story was pulled together into this one tale.
It wasn't just that a child was abused but hundreds if not thousands of children not abused by one or two men but a whole network or men not just a network or men in the town, or state but all over the country and not just any men but extremely powerful including the vicepresident it wasn't just that they had sex with individual children but orgies it wasn't just sex but making them take drugs it wasn't just making them take drugs but making them transport drugs it wasn't just sex and drugs they were also tortured not for the thrill of torture but to make split personalities to create assassins.
This last part is really beyond the pale and clearly someone who doesn't understand how MPD works.
Oh and also there were satanic rituals and murder and forced cannibalism, Satanic ritual stories have been debunked, Now I am sure that some of the sexual abuse stories and some cover up could be true but not the whole of the story and the scope of it.
It is not that I don't believe the accusers at all I am sure some small measure is true but the tale is told through John DeCamp who I don't really like or believe.
He often states things as fact that are not proven and attributes words to people he could not possibly know.
One thing he kept talking about was that the ring leader was a homosexual and all of his homosexual exploits what does that have to do with anything.
He also would refer to homosexual pedophilia, Pedophilia is not synonymous with homosexuality, What does the gender of the abused and the perpetrator matter, It is the fact that children are being abused period, The fact that he had to keep saying this suggests a bias against gay people, What really sealed it for me was the stories he told later as evidence of general government maleficence.
Conspiracy theories about harm done to right wing fringe groups such as the Oklahoma City bombers, militia groups and antitax protesters.
Those folks have no currency with me, Now that I have finished the book I am less angry because my conflict is gone, I gave the book its full hearing and it came up wanting, btw, I also did look up information about the people and events he describes to get more information to compare against what he said.
Not just about the Franklin scandal but the other scandals he refers to and his accounting comes up wanting.
This book made me cry at times, Didn't finish the whole thing as it really upset me! Be warned very very graphic true stories of child abuse! So sad amp sadistic! I'm not that into conspiracy theories in general and mostly think they're more dangerous than fun in this age of nutjobs on the internet, but this is the closest I've ever given a conspiracy theory credence to.
Now granted, I probably also only believe aboutof what DeCamp poses here, and the whole satanism angle is an offensive crock of horseshit brewed up from the bad 'ole satanicpanic's, but yeah, I think it's totally plausible and likely that certain men in power engage in pedophilia and use it as a weapon to corner and influence others.
The second edition elements of the book seem mostly superfluous with DeCamp basically doing a greatest hits of his post government law career.
I think anybody reading this book is already plenty skeptical of law enforcement, An eyeopener for those unfamiliar with child abuse and pedophilia within the corridors of power, Difficult to read at times a difficult subject but one none of us should turn our eyes away from and ignore.
The story is disturbingly interesting but the book needed a better writer, A lot of the facts felt dry and the personal connection of DeCamp to the case came across as too defensive, and almost whiny, for the bigger purpose of the book.
That being said, the background is horrifying and if this actually happened/keeps happening it's something we should learn more about.
Updated book that sets this case against others around the country Here's my editorial on this book.
No review. :
Well of course this book is shocking, disturbing and appalling, I'm upset, illogically furious, helplessly traumatized,
Daintily embedded in our postmodern clout, the reader can derive anything from it and it will be okay.
Although the facts can scream to heaven and back, the outcome for the reader can be very different, depending on the personal background and ideas.
It just makes one think about the little people on the ground, the FBI agents, police officers, bodyguards, and then the victims, who do not stand a chance against the mighty and who can be easily 'removed' either by carefully selected grand juries, threats, intimidation, bribes, corrupt prosecutors withholding information, and many other things.
Most often than not they have to choose between silence and the safety of themselves or their families.
This was not the case with the author of this book, He decided to write a very dark chapter in history, come what may, For heaven's sake, he deserves five for that alone,
These events mostly played out in thes, but the entire pattern of allegations, the people involved, the similarity of the stories of all the victims, not only then, but even as recent as the Jeffrey Epstein criminal case, not even mentioning Harvey Weinstein, present a very big fire, with smoke columns bursting out all over the planet.
It's like a volcano being covered up again and again and again, What about the big uproar in Britain when the rot in the BBC was exposed and another sex scandal with underage children saw the light.
My interest in this book started when I listened to an interview with a Dutch banker, who left the world of big money and politics and decided to expose the world he left behind.
The behavioral patterns of all involved in the upper echelons of societies, corresponds once again with the evidence provided by the victims in this book.
The same people involved. The same coverups, the same outcomes, The exbanker is not connected to this book at all, It was just a coincidence to discover the book while following his story, The fact that child trafficking and sexual abuse surfaced in both experiences, was probably fate,
So yes, I want to puke, The thousands of children all over the world who are being ripped from their lives just destroy one's heart and soul.
The most upsetting is how orphanages are being targeted for this diabolical, sick sycophant elite class,
As you know, I want to listen to people's stories, I want to read them too, This was one of those moments, Everyone should read it. Let me be honest here, I'm angry with the broken, corrupt legal systems of this world, fedup with the corrupt paytoplay media whores, and beyond furious with those who abuse the legal systems and little people to protect themselves and get away with it.
I want to be a judge, get hold of these vile, ugly, sick perpetrators and turn them into eunuch slaves the sadistic way! Better yet, tie them to ant hills, throw syrup over them and watch them die slowly in the hot unrelenting sun.
You think that's cruel, I don't. Because what they did to innocent children's spirit and soul is much much worse,
