The FBI is a Masquerade - The Franklin Scandal

“You have to have bricks for brains to take on the FBI in this country, and that’s exactly what you have to do to do this properly.” - John DeCamp, Vietnam War Veteran, Attorney, Author, and former Nebraska State Senator


It’s been one week since the ignominious FBI raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Nothing will come of this, of course, just as nothing has come of the many ridiculous witch hunts before this one. For several years now, the regime has done all that they can to fabricate anything to vilify and malign a man who transformed this country we love, undoubtedly for the better. What has been his ultimate offense, anyways? Simply, a threat to their existence.


On a local level, we’ve seen this kind of threat to the regime before. This is something of such great magnitude that it was, and I quote, “The compromising of politicians, the compromising of businessmen, but worst of all… the corruption of key institutions of government that have the duty and responsibility to make sure these things never happen.”


It is pivotal that this information is shared so others realize that ultimately, there is nothing new under the sun. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Corruption exists even, in fact, especially, at our highest levels of government.


This story has been suppressed time and time again. Journalists have been told to not pursue the story, documentary filmmakers have been shut down and not allowed to film, records have been sealed and hidden for none to access. Some, even, have been met with threats against them. Why has this been hidden for decades? Who still needs protecting, after all? I encourage you to discover for yourself the dark history that exists in Nebraska, whose shadow is still right in our own backyard - namely, The Franklin Scandal.


“In Omaha, the Yorkshire TV Crew discovered the machinations of a vast child trafficking network that provided children to the wealthy and political establishment for molestation and blackmail.”


“Shortly before ‘Conspiracy of Silence’ was to be screened on 'First Tuesday', the Discovery Channel withdrew its support for the film, and to this day the documentary remains ‘unaired’.”


It is important to first know some of the key players.

Lawrence King was at one time heralded as “the fastest rising black star in the Republican party in all of the 80’s."

From the publisher of the book, The Franklin Scandal, "The shut-down of Omaha, Nebraska's Franklin Community Federal Credit Union, raided by federal agencies in November 1988, sent shock waves all the way to Washington, D.C. $40 million was missing. The credit union's manager: Republican Party activist Lawrence E. 'Larry' King, Jr., behind whose rise to fame and riches stood powerful figures in Nebraska politics and business, and in the nation's capital. In the face of opposition from local and state law enforcement, from the FBI, and from the powerful Omaha World-Herald newspaper, a special Franklin committee of the Nebraska Legislature launched its own probe. What looked like a financial swindle, soon exploded into a hideous tale of drugs, Iran-Contra money-laundering, a nationwide child abuse ring, and ritual murder.”


Carol Stitt was at the time the Director of the Foster Care Review Board:

“Per reports, Larry King’s name was consistently present as someone that the youth were making allegations against. When I turned that information over to authorities, nothing happened. We handed over a foot high of material. Generally speaking, the allegations were ignored.”


Omaha police now accept Larry King was abusing children, but at the time, its most senior detective claimed they never received any evidence. Does this sound similar to any present day findings, say, I don’t know, a certain someone’s laptop?


Again from Stitt, “For me it was very clear that the case was not investigated, not pursued because of the alleged perpetrators.”


Karen Ormiston was a private investigator in the matter:

“They were telling us about prominent people in Omaha and elsewhere that were abusing children at parties.” “The media immediately started discrediting the witnesses.” “The witnesses came across in the media, in the Omaha World Herald especially, as the criminals.”


State Senator Loran Schmit was a long time respected Nebraska State Senator.

After FBI inquiries into the grand scheme were kept entirely secret, and evidence of King’s sex ring was covered up, a separate investigation followed in the state legislature. The money trail led quickly to child abuse allegations and almost immediately threats began to come in:

“I think the message delivered was if any legislative committee ever tries to conduct a thorough investigation again, the same thing will happen. It has shaken my faith

in the institutions of government. I used to be a firm believer that the system would work and that people that did things wrong would be punished. We discovered victims who claimed to had been abused and who the grand jury acknowledged had been abused. But they did not try to find out who had abused those individuals."

“I was very disappointed with the way the FBI and law enforcement treated the victims. They in fact turned them into the offenders so to speak.”


“The FBI’s attitude was 'no, these kinds of things don’t happen.' They were just appalled, but I realize what that look in their eye was back then, it was fear. It was fear that, you know, that I had witnessed first hand things that would destroy this city. 'It’s not going to be believed,' they said, 'it will not be believed. You will be found guilty of perjury. You go on with this story, you’re going to jail.' That was said to me direct.” - Troy Boner


“The last three victim witnesses were demolished by the press, particularly the Omaha World Herald.” “The whole purpose of the stories were to discredit any credibility that the youth may have.” - Carol Stitt


“They had to send a signal to every kid who was a potential witness, a signal so loud and clear if you dared to come forward, if you dare to talk, watch what happens” - John, DeCamp, in regards to excessive sentencing for perjury, 9-25 years


As if this wasn’t enough, Gary Caradori, the chief investigator of the scandal, died conveniently in a plane crash with his son after interviews with several victims of the cover-up and having acquired a rolodex. His briefcase was never recovered in the crash and the FBI impounded all records of the plane crash investigation. “I really feel that somebody killed my brother and inside me I know somebody killed my brother.” - Gary Caradori’s brother


“The effect of Gary’s crash on the investigation, I think in effect, put an end to anyone else coming forward with sensitive information like this.” - Karen Ormiston

“That’s when I was finished, because I figured if they murdered Gary and his son, there’s nothing that will stop them.” - Carol Stitt


“You have to consider the possibility of some danger to your person. People do react rather violently to some types of charges, particularly if they’re true. If there’s truth in it, there can be danger in that situation. We’ve seen that happen in other cases.” - William Colby, former director of the CIA


“They, now in my opinion, are the architects of the coverup.” “Every victim witness who stepped forward in any way, or even was a potential witness that somebody heard about, has either been killed, put in jail under some theory or the other, terrified, or run out of the state, discredited. Every perpetrator, even the convicted ones, have been treated as conquering heroes. Obviously, the FBI was protecting something a lot more significant than a bunch of old pedophiles having improper relations with little boys. They were protecting something a lot more significant than a bunch of drug peddlers. They were protecting, in my opinion, they were protecting some very prominent politicians, some very powerful and wealthy individuals associated with those politicians and the political system up to and including the highest political people in this entire country.” - John DeCamp, on the FBI


Today, we have FBI whistleblowers coming forward left and right. FBI agents are openly testifying that they plant evidence. It’s time that we as a nation realize that these ballooning federal agencies are not serving our best interest, but rather, as cover for a Caste System for the authoritarian elitists. There is a different set of rules for us and them. These are not good people. They do not have your best interest in mind and certainly not at heart. The lengths they'll go to retain power are as deep as their pockets. None of this is a surprise. What's surprising is people continue along with the status quo, all while it's contrived and orchestrated. They exist solely to retain the offices they need to perpetuate the reign over their fiefdoms.


DeCamp, again, sums things up succinctly:

"If you can control about 3 or 4 key elements, you can totally own a state. You can make right, wrong. You can make truth falsehood, falsehood truth. If you control the media, if you control the justice department, if you control the police, you own the system."


“The justice department, acting through the FBI and US attorney’s office in Omaha, emerges from the record of the Franklin investigation, not so much as a party to the coverup, but as its coordinator. Rigging grand juries, harassment of witnesses, incitement of perjury, and tampering with evidence, federal personnel were seen to apply all those techniques in the Franklin case.”
