Friends,
This is a long term and far ranging sex scandal. Was the Paris terrorist incident a “false flag” to distract us from this scandal? Watch the video and read the articles below.

As 2015 begins, high-profile cases involving accusations
of pedophilia in the highest ranks of political power are making headlines on
both sides of the Atlantic.
MPs Caught in Pedophile Network
The first case involves the exposure of
five VIP pedophile rings operating in Britain in the 1970s and 80s that have
been researched in a dossier compiled by John Mann, an MP for Bassetlaw in the
Midlands, which was then submitted to the London Metropolitan Police for
further investigation. These five rings all included at least one current or
former member of parliament, with a total of 24 politicians having been
identified in Mann’s dossier. Six of those 24 are currently serving members of
the UK government, including three MPs and three members of the House of Lords.
As an MP himself, Mann enjoys parliamentary privilege to name the accused
politicians in the House of Commons but has said he will not do so because he believes
the accusations should be investigated by police first.
The Met are already investigating claims
made by an alleged victim of the network that a Conservative MP strangled a boy to death during one of the ring’s sex parties,
and that he personally witnessed two other boys murdered by the gang, including
one who was run over in broad daylight. Mann has also indicated that he
believes two men may have been murdered as part of a cover-up of the network’s
activities.
One of the hurdles in investigating the claims is the
Official Secrets Act, which prevents the disclosure of state secrets and
“sensitive” information. “It is clear there are a lot of people who could
provide a lot of information, potentially vital information, to support ongoing
criminal investigations,” Mann said regarding the investigation. “But they
are not doing so because of the Official Secrets Act. They are fearful of not
only breaking the law but the potential effect on their pension. This is
absolutely crucial if we are to get some of these ex-officers coming forward and
to get prosecutions of some of the former MPs.” He has asked Home Secretary
Theresa May to lift the restrictions, allowing former officials to speak up
about what they know about the case, but so far there is no indication that
this has been done.
Epstein Accuser Names Names
Meanwhile in the United States a similarly shocking set
of allegations are emerging from a Florida court case surrounding Jeffrey
Epstein, the prominent American financier and billionaire who was convicted in
2008 of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution. In the years since his
conviction, dozens of women have come forward to accuse him of abuse, and he
has made 17 out-of-court settlements in various civil cases arising from these accusations. There
is now an ongoing federal civil suit in Florida in which two women are alleging
violations of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act in the remarkable plea deal that
saw Epstein emerge from the scandal with a single count of solicitation of
underage prostitution and a 13-month prison sentence.
Late last month, Virginia Roberts made headlines by
submitting a motion to be added to the legal action in Florida. Those documents
allege that Roberts was one of Epstein’s underage sex slaves and names both
Prince Andrew, Duke of York and fifth in line for the British crown, and Alan
Dershowitz, a well-known lawyer and author, as men with whom she was forced to
have sex while underage.
Buckingham Palace has emphatically denied the claims, and Dershowitz threatened
to sue Roberts’ lawyers over the allegations but was instead counter-sued for defamation.
The scandal threatens to re-focus attention on the
Epstein case, which raises many important questions about the billionaire’s
connections with the rich and powerful. It has since been revealed that Epstein
had 21 different phone numbers for contacting his friend Bill
Clinton, who, court records allege, “frequently
flew” on Epstein’s private jet between 2002 and 2005. The American tabloid
press is now reporting that the new claims have created
problems for Clinton’s marriage, with Hillary allegedly visibly angry at Bill
at a recent public appearance.
Nothing New
Allegations of pedophilia networks amongst the political
and entertainment “elite” are of course nothing new. In recent years Britain
has been rocked by revelations of repeated, serial sexual abuse of children by
popular children’s television entertainers Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris. These
scandals have raised questions about institutional support for these activities
at a number of levels, including the BBC, the political classes and even royal
participation in the enabling and cover-up of the abuse.
Likewise in America, allegations of political pedophile
rings date back decades, with the most notorious being the Franklin scandal in
which Lawrence E. King Jr. was accused of running an elite child prostitution
ring for Nebraska Republican Party members and high-ranking U.S. politicians.
The story involves accusations that link the
ring to CIA drug dealing, murder and cover up, including accusations of ritual
abuse in the Bohemian Grove. The investigation was championed by former State
Senator John De Camp and eventually brought before a grand jury in Douglas
County but was eventually thrown out as a “carefully crafted hoax” and two
of the alleged victims were themselves convicted of perjury after two other
witnesses recanted their supporting testimony. Still, questions still surround
the cover up of the case as documented in suppressed documentaries like Conspiracy of Silence.
Cover Ups
The question of whether the London Met will be adequate
to the task of properly investigating Mann’s dossier is not an idle one. Just
last year reports revealed that the Met had 260 crates of
evidence documenting police corruption in the north-east corner of London
alone. The evidence relates to Operation Tiberius, a 2002 investigation that
concluded there was “endemic corruption” in the Metropolitan Police force and
that organized crime networks had been able to infiltrate the Met “at will.”
The report that issued from that investigation was 170 pages long, but only six
heavily-redacted pages were provided to a parliamentary committee that had
requested the information. Only a handful of the scores of then-serving
officers and officials identified by the investigation were ever prosecuted.
In the Epstein case, as well, there are
numerous questions surrounding the possibility of high-level cover up. In
recent weeks it has emerged that Epstein struck a remarkable secret deal with the US Attorney’s Office that
barred more than 500 pages of documents detailing negotiations of the deal and
a staggering 13,000 documents from the investigation into Epstein’s activities
that were shelved as a result of the bargain. Moreover, the victims were not
told of the plea bargain until after it had been concluded. All of this
resulted from the US Attorney Office’s pledge to avoid turning the case into a
“media circus” and disclosing the names of people like Prince Andrew.
Clearing the Smoke, Smashing the Mirrors
As always with ongoing legal
investigations, it is important to sort the credible from the incredible, the
proven from the unproven, and the mere allegations from the actual findings of
fact. Hoaxes, lies and moral panics have erupted in the past that have proven
fraudulent in the long run.
So what are the credible sources in
investigations like these? How can those with a monetary or other interest in
slandering the rich and powerful be separated from those with credible claims
of abuse? What bodies or institutions can be relied on to investigate claims of
this nature, especially when they involve sitting politicians and others in the
highest reaches of political or financial power?
