New Book Exposes Pedophilia, Government Officials and Cover-up
THE FRANKLIN SCANDAL, by Nick Bryant, will be the first commercially published book to tell the shocking true tale of the power elite involved in the most despicable crimes against children. These youths were used and abused for entertainment, and knew what would happen to them if there ever came clean. In one case, a young girl had been abused since the age of 14, she refused to recant her abuse, and she was sentenced to prison for 9-15 years on trumped up charges.
The nationwide trafficking ring was run by a pair of Republican powerbrokers who used the venerable Boys Town as a pedophile reservoir; they had access to the highest levels of our government, and connections to the CIA.
Nebraska legislators nearly exposed the ring, but its unveiling had the potential to produce seismic political aftershocks. This resulted in a rash of deaths and a full court press by federal law enforcement, including the FBI, Secret Service, and Justice
Department, not to mention the mainstream media, effecting an immaculate cover-up of the trafficking network. State and federal grand juries in Nebraska and a former US Attorney for the District of Columbia also played an integral role in the cover-up. Moreover, author Bryant shows that a number of officers of the court who participated in the cover-up experienced upward mobility in either the state or federal judiciaries.
Bryant has spent seven years researching this book and he’s traveled approximately 40,000 miles. He’s had access to thousands of documents that would ultimately be sealed by two grand juries. His documentation includes FBI reports and interoffice memos, 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. He’s also interviewed several of the network’s victims who are now young adults.
The FRANKLIN SCANDAL also tackles the issue of ritual abuse. Indeed, some of the victims that Bryant has interviewed have confessed to being ritually abused. To corroborate their accounts, Bryant’s book highlights several studies published in academic journals that back up the reality of this heinous practice, including a study conducted by Young et al. published in the Journal of Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Extreme Abuse Survey conducted by Becker et al. The author also discusses the Finders and sheds insights into its activities that have eluded many researchers.
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.
