If the President and Vice President are removed from office, Speaker of the House becomes the President.

4. they've been told to be scared
there's nothing inherently frightening about Pelosi. These people know nothing about her other than the fact that their RW radio is telling them to be scared of her.

they've been listening to RW fear-mongerers.

8. Eeeeek! A woman speaker!!!
It's like how they are afraid of and despise Hillary Clinton. Ask them specifically what's so wrong about them and they can't come up with any reasonable answer. They've just been conditioned by Hate Radio gasbags to feel (not think) there is something evil about these women and that's the end of it. Liliths to Laura Bush's (for example) Eve.

The Franklin Coverup Scandal

The Child sex ring that reached Bush/Reagan Whitehouse


This was the biggest scandal in the history of the U.S.A history. The story received some newspaper coverage but there was a TV News Media blackout on the subject. For this reason, most Americans have never heard of it.

Former republican Senator John Decamp was involved in the production a documentary called "Conspiracy of Silence" it was to air May 3, 1994 on the Discovery Channel. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. 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 F.B.I. chief, Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by the participants involved. You can purchase a VHS copy at this link. Or you can view an online copy at this page. Franklin Cover up video page

Boy prostitutes 15 years old (and younger) were taking midnight tours of the Whitehouse. There are 19 more Washington Times articles in full text about this case available here at this link.
Newspaper scans or text are not for commercial use. Solely to be used for the educational purposes of research and open discussion.


The Washington Times, Pg. A3 July 26, 1989 Headline: Secret Service furloughs third White House guard


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The story was also covered in the New York Times and other major east coast newspapers,
but because of the links to Whitehouse and control from the top the story was killed..

There are two main suspects in the child ring were Craig Spence and Lawrence E. King Jr. here are some pictures of them. Both were involved in the republican party. King sang the National athem at two republican national conventions during the 1980s. He served time in jail for bank fraud and is now living somewhere on the east coast.. Spence was an important republican lobbyist, he commited sucide. Several of his partners went to jail for being involved in the adult part of the homosexual sex ring. Democrats were also involved in this as well, so don't expect them to expose the sex ring.

Bonacci v King; King to pay $1 million in damages
Paul A. Bonacci v. Lawrence E. King
The Franklin Scandal Tried in Civil Court

.S. government mind control programs, like MK-Ultra and Monarch, directed against helpless victims--human guinea pigs--have been virtually ignored by the Big Media Cartel. On Feb. 27, 1999, however, U.S. District Court Judge Warren Urbom found former Franklin S&L manager Lawrence E. King guilty of numerous crimes committed against mind control victim Paul A. Bonacci.

King, serving a 15-year sentence for his role in the theft of $40 million from Franklin, an Omaha, Neb., credit union, was ordered by Judge Urbom to pay Bonacci $800,000 in compensatory damages and an additional $200,000 in punitive damages.

This legal judgement against a notorious perpetrator of satanic-ritual child abuse is unprecedented. In the Memorandum of Decision, Judge Urbom wrote, "King continually subjected the plaintiff (Bonacci) to repeated sexual assaults, false imprisonment, infliction of extreme emotional distress, organized and directed satanic rituals, forced the plaintiff to 'scavenge' for children to be a part of the defendant King's sexual abuse and pornography ring, forced the plaintiff to engage in numerous sexual contacts with the defendant King and others and participate in deviate sexual games and masochistic orgies with other minor children.

"He (Bonacci) has suffered burns, broken fingers, beatings of the head and face and other indignities by the wrongful actions of the defendant King," the judge declared. "In addition to the misery of going through the experiences just related over a period of eight years (1980-1988), the plaintiff has suffered the lingering results to the present time. "He (Bonacci) is a victim of multiple personality disorder, involving as many as 14 distinct personalities aside from his primary personality," wrote the judge.

"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.

2. These areas which the documentary focused on, were:


(a) the use and involvement of Boys Town children and personalities in the Franklin Scandal, particularly Peter Citron and Larry King’s relationships to Boys Town;

(b) the linkage of Franklin to some of this country’s top politicians in Washington, and in the US Congress, with particular attention on those who attended parties held by Larry King at his Washington mansion on Embassy Row;

(c) the impropriety of these politicians and businessmen and compromising of these people by Larry King, through drugs and using children for pedophilia.

http://www.beyondweird.com/ufos/Bruce_Walton_The_Underground_Nazi_Invasion_15.html
Lawrence King was no stranger to President Bush. And Lawrence King
was no stranger to Craig Spence. Several of the Omaha child prostitutes
testified that they had traveled to Washington, D.C. with King in private
planes to attend political events which were followed by SEX
PARTIES. King and Spence had much in common. Not only were they
both Republican Party activists but they had gone into business together
procuring prostitutes for Washington's elite.

Bush's name had repeatedly surfaced in the Nebraska scandal. But his
name was first put into print in July 1989, a little less than a month
after the Washington call boy affair had first made headlines. Omaha's
leading daily newspaper reported, "One child, who has been under
psychiatric care, is said to believe she saw George Bush at one of
King's parties." / Note #4

A full three years after the scandal had first made headlines, Bush's
name again appeared in print. "Gentleman's Quarterly (GQ)" carried
a lengthy article, viewed by many political observers in Nebraska as
an attempt to refute the charges, which would not die, despite the
termination of all official inquiries. The "GQ" piece disputed the allega-
tions as a conspiracy theory that went out of control and resonated
because of some mystical sociological phenomena allegedly unique
to Nebraskan rural folk who will believe anything and burn "with the
mistrust of city life that once inflamed the prairie with populist passion."
Numerous polls over the last few years have recorded over 90% saying
they believe there has been a "cover up" of the truth.

"GQ" reported that yes, there was theft, corruption and homosexuality
in this story, "but no children were ever involved in this case." In fact,
"the only child even mentioned was a 9-year-old boy, whom the least
reliable of Caradori's witnesses
claimed to have seen in the company of George Bush at one of Larry
King's Washington parties."{ ohhh and King is now out of prison and living down the street from the white house ..right now!!}

The Bush/Reagan White House Male Prostitution Scandal:
Banned 1994 Video Surfaces on Web

John W. DeCamp is a respected Nebraska attorney, a Nam vet, a former Republican delegate, and a man of integrity who exposed corruption in his own GOP, with the Franklin S&L Scandal. He is author of the Franklin Cover-Up, which inspired the video that was made for (and then killed by) the Discovery Channel.

This story, originally broken by the Washington Times, was violently squelched in Omaha and Washington by heavy pressure direct from the FBI and other sources. They were covering for the heavies in the Bush White House with lethal methods very similar to those I've observed in my other investigations. A major investigator died in a mysterious small aircraft crash, and other investigators then folded their hand. Witnesses gathered up their courage only to lose it again.


The Franklin Cover-Up Video is a story a little too real for the gutless big media not accustomed to standing up to Federal intimidation. It involves satanic cults, black ops, and sexual abuse of children in order to shock them into mental trauma and a slavish-state of submission. Watch it.

More info on John W. DeCamp from my comradely associates over at the Public Interest Research batabase:

whoaaaaaaaaaa..freepers..you just couldn't have a mother and a grandmother as Speaker of the hOuse..because all you pervs would be exposed ..right?? that is what you are really afraid of, isn't it?? come on admit it..too many of you pervs hiding behind your fundi fronts..right??

George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography --- by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Chapter -XXI- Omaha

On the morning of June 29, 1989, pandemonium erupted in the corridors of power in the nation's capital. ``Homosexual Prostitution Probe Ensnares Official of Bush, Reagan,'' screamed the front-page headline of the Washington Times with the kicker ``Call Boys Took Midnight Tour of White House.''

Months after the scandal had died down, and a few weeks before he allegedly committed suicide, Spence was asked who had given him the ``key'' to the White House. The Washington Times reported that ``Mr. Spence hinted the tours were arranged by `top level' persons, including Donald Gregg, national security advisor to Vice President Bush''@s1 and later U.S. ambassador to South Korea.

We have already had occasion to examine Don Gregg's role in Iran-Contra, and have observed his curious performance when testifying under oath before congressional committees. Gregg indignantly denied any connection to Spence, yet it is public record that Spence had sponsored a dinner in Gregg's honor in the spring of 1989 at Washington's posh Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown.

George Bush was less than pleased with the media coverage of the prostitution charges and kept abreast of the scandal as it mushroomed. The Washington Times reported in an article titled ``White House Mute on Call Boy Scandal,'' that ``White House sources confirmed that President Bush has followed the story of the late night visit and Mr. Spence's links to a homosexual prostitution ring under investigation by federal authorities since they were disclosed June 29 in the Washington Times. But top officials will not discuss the story's substance, reportedly even among themselves.

``Press officers have rebuffed repeated requests to obtain Mr. Bush's reaction and decline to discuss investigations or fall out from the disclosures.''@s2 By midsummer, the scandal had been buried. The President had managed to avoid giving a single press conference where he would surely have been asked to comment.

As the call boy ring affair dominated the cocktail gossip circuit in Washington, another scandal, halfway across the country in the state of Nebraska, peaked. Again this scandal knocked on the President's door.

14. Current code words in Republican talking points
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 07:14 AM by unc70
A caller to WJ a couple of days ago (from Ohio?) parroted the TP back more bluntly. He said that he wanted the R's to retain control of Congress to keep it out of the hands of uppity(?) women and no account blacks. He rambled on about lesbians and gays -- wanted a return to our countries values.

They are trying hard to use their standard game plan: if you don't vote R, then the women, blacks, and gays will be running the country. Sound like a good idea to me, and I am a Southern white hetero male.

24. We got plenty of reason
Lying to Congress, for starters. Impeachment should be the least of their worries. Designating the GOP a terrorist organization and arresting anyone who has contributed to it, that's what they should be worried about. These assholes conspired to conduct an illegal war, to get hundreds of thousands of people killed, and they did it by lying to Congress, stealing elections, smashing civil rights, undermining the elective process, and conspiring with other terrorists to keep the populace in fear and voting Repuke. With any luck, there will be no more GOP within a few years, and the decent ones can build a real political party, not a terrorist group.

27. The repug talking points have a blank after the sentence, "If Dems
get control of Congress ________________ will ruin this country. Pelosi is just the assumed Speaker so her name is filling out the sentence right now. It doesn't matter who the Dems will elected as Speaker the repugs are going to use that "Oh, the horror, THE HORROR, if so and so takes over the House." God himself could be selected as Speaker but if he has a D after his name they would vilify him just as quickly and just as easily as Pelosi, Conyers et al.

They just use the fear factor to try and control the sheeple. I would love to ask a repug that if the Dems do take back the house who do they think would make a good Speaker? They would not be able to come up with a single name. Not one. Today Pelosi but it would be anyone.

26. If you fear something, like impeachment (for no reason), it is
usually based on some idea that leads you to believe there is an actual reason to be scared.

Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 08:40 AM by OzarkDem
I'm sure she's a really nice person and represents her district well, but if Dems gain the majority, she should be replaced with someone who has more brains and courage.

Minority leaders don't make good Majority Leaders. Its a whole different job.
