7. I often have to print these threads to read later. . .
This one was 142 pages when I printed it (because I'm work when I try to read them). I just read what I had when I got home and will go back to the other thread and finish it. But here is what I've noticed by being able to go back and thumb through the pages rather than having to scroll up and down the pages, look for yourself:

1. If you compare merh's "another image of jimmy-jeff" at post #170 and

2. Minstrel Boy's photoshopped (with no hair) age-enhanced photo of Johnny Gosch at #227, even with an "age-enhanced" photo, the similarities are uncanny, right down to the dimples.

Now, if Minstrel Boy photoshopped the other age-enhanced photo with no hair at post 162 by chiburb (a different age-enhanced photo than the other one), I think the look-alike would be even more remarkable.

This is fascinating, but a stretch. But what if it were true. . . poor Jeff/James/Johnny would certainly be deserving of our sympathy and compassion. I can't even fathom. . . I would have to agree with the other posters that he's probably in grave danger.

9. Just a reminder...
As interesting a theory as this is, the ears don't match. Always, always, always look at the ears. They are the hardest thing to change by surgery. Most people trying to change don't bother with ears. Ears maintain shape and set to head from child to adult.

Jimmy-Jeff has Dumbo ears. The child doesn't.

26. I've emailed folk who should want to know and asked the simple...
....question and provided the original DU link:

Is "Gannon," Gosch?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3144209

It should not be difficult to get an accurate answer.

Will post any answers I receive.

309. I sent Mrs Gosch an email.


Followed by a phone call. Here is her response

"Andy,

Thank you for taking the time to email me the photo link. I have already contacted my PI and we will be checking this out as much as possible.

If I have any questions, I will get in touch with you.

I didn't see anything in it about him being reunitied with his family. As far as I can see, it just says that he met with his mother for a short amount of time before going back underground.

Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 06:47 AM by mzmolly
not spill the beans?

He's got the publics attention, now would be the time to do it. I'd be very surprised if this guy doesn't end up "suicided" and the left wing blogs blamed. Unless of course, he's still a lover of one of the powerful pedo freaks involved, and they can't part with him?

"Johnny took a chance to come and see his mother for a very short time. He wanted to give her information, in the hope she could bring it out to the public. Information about this network of pedophiles and how they operate. He is very angry about what has happened to him and the years with his family which have been taken from him. Who could blame any of these young people for being angry at the system."

Thanks for clearing up my confusion. I assumed that he was still in contact with his family from time to time. I assumed that his mother probably knew who Guckert/Gannon was.

Do we have photos of Gosch's father? His mother is here, Guckert/Gannon/???? does resemble her:

126. Gannon appears to be a true believer in the right wing cause.
If it's true that he is this kidnapped boy, and I'm not convinced that he is, he seems to have become a willing footsoldier for the right wing.

168. Note that
his father doesn't believe his ex-wife in regard to Johnny showing up a few years ago.

People should do some research about the so-called SRA cults of the 80s and what actually became of them. After years of study, it was concluded that there was NO reliable evidence for ANY satanic ritual abuse of children in the US.

151. No possible way
Look at the style of clothes. "Gannon is 47 yrs old, claims he's anywhere from 38 to 42 depending on the site, but he's 47. I'm 40 and grew up in the 70's. There's no way with those clothes. No one wore black Adidas shirts and straight leg jeans in the early 70's. I started wearing straight leg pants and jeans in 1980 and was yelled at constantly that I was a punk rocker or "devo" or some lame shit like that.

Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 10:46 AM by Spazito
at this point. As to the clothing on Johnny, the Adidas logo shown on the t-shirt was designed and put on their products in 1972 so this t-shirt design fits the timeframe. The photo is from the johnnygosch.com site and was taken in 1982, not in the 70s.

Edited to add link to site with photo:

82. I just can't figure out where you are seeing the kids ears in the only
legitimate photo of the kid though. The enhancements can't mimic an ear they don't have a record of. Wrestling and other things can also alter the shape of an ear dramatically. Wrestlers often get something called cauliflower ear and it really can change the shape. Built up scar tissue can thicken it and alter its wrinkles. I know of no way, other than plastic surgery that an attached earlobe could be change to an unattached one though. If Gannon/Guckert really was this kid though I might tend to think it would have beent o his benefit to undergo some changes before he decided to out himself on C-Span and I am beginning to think he did just that.

Another thing someone said was that the noses were different. I can vouch for the fact that a twelve year olds nose can change rather dramatically as an adult. They don't have fully formed cartilage at age twelve. I used to fit kids for glasses and one of the biggest problems with children and glasses is the fact they have no bridge and their glasses fall down all the time because of it.

i read through it and it has a lot of information. while reading it, i started to feel really eerie - almost like it was put there on purpose. it just seemed to play into our hands, the people who were following this thread. either that or it's just a coincidence that it somewhat connects some of the things that have been said in the original thread.

25. Reference to the McMartin case in that link:
THE JUDICIARY

During the last 20 years, Ted Gunderson (this writer) has been
contacted by hundreds of victims claiming corruption in the judiciary at all levels of our government. I have noticed a tendency by Criminal courts, Family courts, Civil courts, and Juvenile Dependency courts throughout the United States to base their findings on disbelief of testimony of satanic abuse, MK-Ultra Mind Control, and FBI, CIA, and government corruption. This writer has more than 2000 pages of
documentation alone on the CIA Mind Control MK-Ultra Program.

Dangerous child abusers, such as was the case in the famous McMartin Preschool Manhattan Beach California trial, are regularly found innocent. (See Ted L. Gunderson's extensive Scientific Tunnel Report on the McMartin case and/or "The Dark Tunnels of McMartin", by Ronald Summit, M.D. in the "The Journal of Psychohistory", Volume 21 (4), Spring, 1994, pp. 397-416; see references below).

Children are regularly returned to parents involved in satanic abuse. Children are regularly removed from protective parents who allege satanic abuse based on the courts viewing these parents as delusional.

===
Here is a link to that case, one of many if you dogpile/google.

http://www.religioustolerance.org/ra_mcmar.htm

The main evidence of abuse was based on what the children testified were memories of repeated, sadistic, ritual molestation. Years later, child psychologists realized that such memories can be easily implanted in children's minds by the interview techniques which were used at the time. Since psychologists and police investigators have changed their methods of interrogating young children, no more MVMO cases have surfaced in the U.S. and Canada. The children's testimony was supported by medical tests, which were believed at the time to be accurate. Years later, they were found to be useless.

The hoax adversely affected the lives of hundreds of children, who are now young adults. It has become the most famous MVMO case of its type. Many feminists and others still believe that the children were subjected to horrendous abuse at McMartin.

===
what to believe. omg.
I saw the James Woods movie of this case and it Definitely made you believe that there was No child abuse involved.
what to believe.

It was a severe case of widespread paranoia. The McMartins and Ray Buckey never did a friggin thing. Never. They were lynch mobbed. It was a sad era, but then again it was the Reagan days.

As far as the Franklin/Nebraska/Bush 41/King case, have you all seen the video at http://www.thelawparty.com/FranklinCover-up.htm

It's amazing what DU can glean from internet searches and such.

I was very weirded out this morning when someone found out Hunter Thompson was linked to the Franklin Coverup in DeCamp's book -- in 1992.

I'm in the process of ordering DeCamp's book, it's something I should have read a long time ago--

--Since I lived in Nebraska once and knew 3 people who went to prison as a result of either the scandal at the S&L or in one case a pedophile conviction that came from revelations due to the investigation.

12. i'm reposting the H.S. Thompson angle cuz' i find it so "timely"
Thompson, whose legal representation is provided by the same politically connected law firm that successfully shielded John and Patsy Ramsey from prosecution, has been accused by the child witnesses in the case dubbed the 'Franklin Cover-Up.' Anger was suspected by police investigators, but was shielded from prosecution by sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, a devoted follower of Aleister Crowley. Kinsey died shortly after he and Anger visited Crowley's Thelema Abbey in Sicily.

13. flyarm posted an article on this discussion about a 72-
year-old man by the last name of Weiss that "died a violent death" in Dec. (?2003). Wasn't the last name of "Weis" the people that "Bush" was "toasting" in that video where he appears to perhaps have had a few too many "to drink" not long ago? Anyone seen that video? It was on posted somewhere on the net, but I don't have it. Anyway, I found that to be a coincidence also.

34. Gus Weiss "wired into the intelligence community...mystical secrets"
Links to stories about his death on my blog here: http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2004/08/suicide-dont-fall-for-it.html

Nashville native Gus Weiss, adviser to 4 presidents, dies

Gus Weiss, a Nashville native who advised four presidents, served on the National Security Council for 16 years and won numerous awards for his foreign policy and intelligence-gathering skills, has died. He was 72.

Mr. Weiss died Tuesday in Washington, D.C. The circumstances surrounding his death could not be confirmed last night.

Friends of Mr. Weiss expressed shock at his death....

"He was wired into the intelligence community, and there were a lot of mystical secrets we weren't privy to," said Harris Gilbert, a Nashville attorney who had been friends with Mr. Weiss since childhood. "He was very interested in diplomatic strategy and was very, very opposed to the Iraq war. It was the first military action he ever opposed, but he believed we shouldn't go to war in the Middle East without knowing what we were getting into."

Gus W. Weiss, 72; White House Adviser

Gus W. Weiss, 72, a former White House policy adviser on technology, intelligence and economic affairs, died Nov. 25 of a fall from the Watergate East residential building in the District. The DC medical examiner ruled his death a suicide.

A spokesman for the D.C. police said that officers found his body at a service entrance to the apartment cooperative. Dr. Weiss lived in the building....

Much of his government work centered on national security, intelligence organizations and concerns over technology transfers to communist countries. As an adviser to the Central Intelligence Agency, he served on the Pentagon's Defense Science Board and the Signals Intelligence Committee of the U.S. Intelligence Board.

During the Carter administration, Dr. Weiss was assistant for space policy to the secretary of defense.

36. Welcome back to the fray, Andy.
Has anybody found out anything about where the people convicted in the Franklin scandal are today?

King was supposedly released and seeking a job with the GOP. Anybody find anything on that? Is he working for the GOP now?

I know of 2 that were released (for the embezzlement aspect) but cannot find anything about the others (like Peter Citron from WOWT-TV and the Omaha World Herald who was convicted of pedophilia.)

Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 09:42 PM by LibInTexas
Harold Anderson, then publisher of the World Herald:

Eighty children initially came forward as a result of newspaper publicity of the raid and subsequent stories in the local news. These children identified some of the most prominent citizens in the Omaha area as involved, including then Omaha Chief of Police, Bob Wadman; former Omaha World Herald newspaper publisher, Harold Andersen; Eugene Mahoney, former Omaha vice squad officer and later head of the Nebraska Forestry Service (he has a park named after him); former Omaha World Herald entertainment columnist, Peter Citron; Alan Baer, Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, Financier; and Omaha County Judge Theodore Carlson. The children who came forward reported, among other things, satanic ceremonies of human and animal sacrifice.

ES&S is a subsidiary of McCarthy Group Inc., which is jointly held by the holding firm and the Omaha World-Herald Co., which publishes the state’s largest newspaper. The voting machine company makes sophisticated optical scan and touch-screen vote-counting devices that many states have begun buying in recent years.

Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 02:11 PM by starroute
If you Google for "peter citron" + Omaha, his name and phone number come up. Another online directory gives his age as 65, which suggests it probably is the same person.

267. It has to be him.
I don't recall how many years he was sentenced to, but with good time, he's probably out by now.

The age is right, he was about 10 years older than me when I first met him in the late '60's.

He is not registered as a High Risk/Level 3 sex offender (which is the only thing you can search for) with the Nebraska State Patrol, which oversees such registrations.

Over and above that phone # does not reverse to his name, it looks like he's dropped off the radar. Perhaps understandably so.

Also, trying to find anything on Larry King has been like looking for a needle in a haystack. Especially with the CNN talk show host having the same name. It would sure be interesting to see if he got that job with the GOP he is reported to be looking for, after he got out.

113. Andy, I think I'm in shock right now. This stuff is phenomonal.
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 03:14 AM by fob
Here's my 2 cents worth...

In the E&P interview this is the part that jumped out at me;


http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_di...

COOPER: But when you would go into the White House to get a pass for a briefing, you would use the name James Guckert.

GANNON: Yes, because that's the name on my driver's license.

COOPER: And then -- but then you would switch to Jeff Gannon to ask questions?

GANNON: Because that is the name that I do my reporting under. It's not uncommon for journalists, authors, actors, to have pseudonyms.

end snip

Isn't that a weird way to say, "well yeah that's my name". It really blared out at me like he was talking about a third person. That was BEFORE I even came across your threads. I talked the whole thing through to the missus and the scary part was hearing the story and her reaction, which was NOT surprise because it all fit so well.

It's all so horrifying. If this JDG/JDG/JDG connection is true, then Mr. Gannon could end up being the savior of us all were he to come clean and take the whole sordid mess out. Irony isn't a big enough word in this case.


Good night and thanks.

96. Didn't Shrub rant and rave about the global sex trade awhile back?

If I recall, he was blaming a lot of it on Castro in Cuba and he was making a mission to abolish it around the World. Or was this just a ploy to get out ahead of it, and smear others with it before it led back to him? Common Shrub tactic.


YES! Last year (or year before), out the blue, during the SOTU gwb mentioned SEX TRADE. Everyone was going :wtf:
We did not know (did we) that SEX TRADE was on the agenda or a possible threat to our freedoms. har har
(Not unless you visited Bosnia, et al).

So what is gwb doing today? Is he tracking down the illicit SEX TRADE? Or trying to pass anti-marriage laws?

HMMMMM??

Sorry, been too long ago, I don't have a link, but I remember being startled by an article wherein some hoity-toity fundie had expressed satisfaction about bush mentioning the sex trade.

Typical bush M.O. Give him thousands and thousands of dollars and he'll make a casual mention in a speech, causing everyone to say "WTF?"

He mentions it in a speech (for whatever reason), and that's not related to this thread?

Could have fooled me. Maybe I don't understand the intent.

The woman is often used as the conduit for recruitment. Many times the woman is not involved in the direct abuse but to keep the relationship protected she will work behind the scenes for her ped partner.

I have an incredibly beautiful female toddler and I can't tell you how many very strange and weird women have tried to befriend me and I know it is because of my little girl.

41. Dozens Of Local Foster Children Considered Missing
Local Agencies Say They're Actively Looking For Kids
We've seen stories of missing foster children and states losing children in their care in headlines for months.

Kids Lost In The System

In Florida, for example, the system has been under heavy criticism since admitting it lost a 5-year-old who caseworkers had not checked on for more than a year.

So how does Ohio stack up? And why are so many children missing from Ohio's foster care system?

The following is a transcript of Tylar Bacome's special report, shown exactly the way it appeared on NewsChannel 4 at 11 p.m. on April 24, 2003.

Tylar Bacome: Pictures are all that Annette Ison has of her missing 16-year-old daughter. The struggling mother of four is usually calm when talking about young Trina Ison (pictured, below, left) -- usually.

63. The McMartin daycare/abuse scandal...
from one of your links, fly. Another story that makes my flesh creep.

If anyone if familiar with this case or saw the movie (James Woods is in it) WHAT IF that idiotic analyst (who Apparently cajoled the kids into making some outlandish claims like sacrificing ponies, etc.) the case was dropped for this reason. WHAT IF she was a deliberate PLANT to do Just This (she was also involved with and living with a local Media guy that covered the story).

The movie makes the McMartins look like the victims, but O M G what IF it really was true and we were all hookwinked in both directions. What if something evil Really was going on but the media and the PtB did what was necessary to cool it down and make it sound so bizarre and unbelievable..

I feel sick

===
THE JUDICIARY
During the last 20 years, Ted Gunderson (this writer) has been
contacted by hundreds of victims claiming corruption in the judiciary at all levels of our government. I have noticed a tendency by Criminal courts, Family courts, Civil courts, and Juvenile Dependency courts throughout the United States to base their findings on disbelief of testimony of satanic abuse, MK-Ultra Mind Control, and FBI, CIA, and government corruption. This writer has more than 2000 pages of
documentation alone on the CIA Mind Control MK-Ultra Program.
Dangerous child abusers, such as was the case in the famous McMartin Preschool Manhattan Beach California trial, are regularly found innocent. (See Ted L. Gunderson's extensive Scientific Tunnel Report on the McMartin case and/or "The Dark Tunnels of McMartin", by Ronald Summit, M.D. in the "The Journal of Psychohistory", Volume 21 (4), Spring, 1994, pp. 397-416; see references below).
Children are regularly returned to parents involved in satanic abuse. Children are regularly removed from protective parents who allege satanic abuse based on the courts viewing these parents as delusional.

130. here ya go:
Inquiry explores role of politics in audit delay
Whistleblowers raise suspicion that the delay of a federal audit of the state plan was tied to Gov. Bush's re-election campaign.
By ALISA ULFERTS and MARY JACOBY
© St. Petersburg Times
published November 13, 2002


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

TALLAHASSEE -- A congressional committee wants to know whether politics are behind the delay of a federal audit of the state employees' pension fund.

Gov. Jeb Bush's administration asked for a delay because of recent staff changes, a spokeswoman said Tuesday, not to avoid damaging his re-election effort.

But Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, isn't so sure.

He has asked for an investigation into whether Health and Human Services inspector general Janet Rehnquist delayed the audit to avoid possible embarrassment to Bush, who was in a spirited re-election fight.

Grassley said Tuesday the audit delay is just one part of a federal inquiry into whether Rehnquist, daughter of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, has improperly infused politics into her administrative duties.

Bush spokeswoman Elizabeth Hirst said the governor's staff requested the delay because the director of the state agency that oversees pension funds was about to retire.

"It was appropriate that we had a delay," Hirst said.

Grassley asked the General Accounting Office to look into Rehnquist's operation in October after learning that she made 19 senior-level staff changes at HHS. Grassley called that number "exceptionally high."

In talking with the whistleblowers from HHS, Grassley learned of suspicions that Rehnquist had delayed the Florida audit to avoid the possibility of damaging Bush's re-election campaign.

180. thanks for finding that..but there is more to it...
this i believe was the beginning..after the audit was done..they found a holy mess...many kids were missing...and they found documents in dumpters and trashed..rehnqist was subsequently fired or asked to leave,..but they gave her 5 months to leave..
money was missing..i dont remember all the details...but i know at the time i was furious, and it was hard to get info on it..i tried at the time, and thats why i wrote letters to the editor..i wanted them to cover the story...and they weren't it was like a huge coverup...but being a mom..i could not stop thinking of the children..where were they , why was no one up in arms about it..why was the media white washing this...thats what kept going through my mind..where was the outrage for these children..and if they didnt know where many of the kids were , why were they not turning over the desks screaming to find them.
and who gets fired and gets to stay 5 months when they have been completely incompetant, unless its for a coverup??

look into what jeff fisher said about children in so fla school for troubled kids..and who was on the board of the school...

43. OK!!
I have been reading the original since 3:00 PM today. I am now at post 179, although I had started at the bottom and worked my way up until I realized that shit was unfolding before my very eyes, so I started from the beginning. I watched the documentary on Franklin/ Larry King scandal. I've checked out almost every link posted. Blew my mind. I have sent it to everyone I know with the original threads (sept 25 and Feb 19)I cannot drag myself away from the computer.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this forum. I'm positively spellbound, my hair is on fire. I'm beside myself with shock, awe, sadness, and the highest of anxiety. Everyday you think you've seen it all with politicians. And every day you think it's the last straw, the one that will break the camels back, but this??? I'm speechless!

Please don't kill the thread, Moderator. This is historical.

Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 10:01 PM by bklyncowgirl
Frankly I don't know what to think. The sheer horror of this sex ring and the suspicious deaths associated with it is incredible. I find it hard to believe that people could be capable of such evil but of course they are.

This was clearly a massive scandal and if half of it is true, and I believe the part about underage hookers being used to set up politicans for blackmail was true, this could destroy many peoples lives. I find the parts about Satanic rituals involving high level politicians considerably less credible.

One thing that bothers me. Assuming that Guckert was indeed Johnny Ghosh, why the hell would anyone in the administration let him anywhere near the president much less recruit him as a faux reporter?

Personally I've been hoping that someone would find a picture of JimmyJeff sitting on Bush's lap like Donna Rice and Gary Hart on the Monkey Business. The idea that this guy was somehow tied into a decades old crime strains credibility--but it is fascinating.

55. Simple answer:
One thing that bothers me. Assuming that Guckert was indeed Johnny Ghosh (note: it's spelled "Gosch"), why the hell would anyone in the administration let him anywhere near the president much less recruit him as a faux reporter?


If 'Gannon' is Gosch, then what we automatically know is that Gosch is one very successful 'survivor.'

And, much of his ability to survive is likely due to his ability to both gather compromising information on very powerful people and make it clear to those very powerful people that if anything happens to him, multiple sources will deliver the hard facts to the public, via multiple modalities.

I think 'Gannon' has shown us how good he is by baiting folk to pump him to #1 Ranking on the DU scum-bag chart and his other stunts starting with the gee-georgie-boy-can-you-keep-a-straight-face-while-i-ask-this-dumb-ass-question on 26 Jan 2005 -- in other words, he knew that he was about to be 'suicided' (or whatever form of disappearing act), and began showing those who would 'do him' that he really meant that he has all the tools to expose them if they pop him.

Just speculation folks; but, hey, the guy is still alive -- think about it.

Peace.

67. Did anyone else find themselves checking all their doors last night
and watching all the cars today to make sure they weren't going to get "wrecked?"
I know that's a bit paranoid of me, but after reading all we've been discussing since Saturday night, I'm about of a mind to start taking my big puppy everywhere I go (120 pounds of solid muscle and wouldn't allow a soul to harm me or mine).
This is simply mind-boggling.

94. dunno
I was reading through one of these threads last night and came across Thompson's name. I was wondering who he was and finally (lazy researcher sometimes) decided I'd find out.

But then I got interrupted, had to log out of computer, lost the bloody thread. When I got back on --- 15 minutes max, there on the DU front page was the news of his suicide. First thing I wondered was whether there COULD be a connection and he was suicided just in case (maybe they have figured out that y'all rock as researchers and sent someone out for him immediately upon seeing us start finding these old stories).

Then again, maybe not. But I'd damn sure be careful - especially if I had a position of some notoriety, 's all I'm sayin'.

65. Glad you got the thread over here
Something happened when I saw the photo of Johnny Gosch (unretouched). Not able to say whether he's the same person. But I connected with that kid. Damn. (Maybe my mommy genes.......I have 5 kids).

Although I share the belief that y'all need to take care with drawing conclusions and going too wild with the theories, the number of coincidences are astounding. Johnny and James and Jeff all have the same first, last and middle initials. Johnny worked for a newspaper whose editor was named Gannon. The similarity in facial characteristics...Yikes!

Should keep watch on who else gets suicided over the next few months or so. I'm feeling like y'all are getting close to uncovering something. The closer you get the more danger there is for those who have any history connected to all this (except those who they absolutely own). That includes Jimmy/Jeff.

Does anyone have the description of Gosch - eye color, etc.?
Gannon's websites provide his eye color, along with other physical attributes. Just wondering if any of the sites on gosch provide his eye color.

87. John's mom is alive, is she not?
I read an interview with her, as I imagine everyone here did, that was from what? 2001? Her child was like 27 when he visited her and that was in the late 90's, if memory serves correctly -- aren't we off in the ages of the two? The supposed fact that the Des Moines register guy was Jeff Gannon is very bizarre but I have to think if there is anything at all to this line of thinking, someone would be talking to her.

70. hows Capitol City Escorts connected to Real Estate?!! seems odd!
While searching for Capitol City Escorts here in DC.. (I'm a Realtor in DC area.. and yes I searched for Gannon/Guckert holdings.. none in Greater DC).. I found they are advertising for both escorting AND Real Estate appraisal services. Odd to say the least. I been trying to think of why they might have both services.. and all I got so far is the real estate is used somehow in transferring money, cause theres always a money link! There are courses and accreditation processes required for appraisers...

-notice the phone number is the same as the 1 in the previous thread for Capitol City Escorts

84. Supposedly Escort Services often have Real Estate biz for billing cover
You know, someone pays for a "in-depth market assesment" with the Real Estate company coming up on the credit card receipt.

The key would be finding receipts from that Real Estate company...

houses we knew were vacant for drinking parties. some of the homes we managed to get ourselves into were very nice. Besides the money laundering angle and THAT assuredly happens OFTEN in Real Estate despite the fact they have rules about escrow money not being touched.

75. What I know about Johnny Gosch (sp?)-from HIS PARENTS
Glad I started to read the original thread. I didn't know that this had now gone into the question of whether he was the paperboy kidnapped in Iowa. I lived in Iowa during that time. His parents were brought in by my children's school district to address parents. I talked about this here at DU awhile back and was sneered off the board like I made it all up. Now...do you want to listen??

They were there to tell parents about what they found out about all this child sex trade, etc. that none of us had even imagined was going on in this country (scared shit out of everyone). They told us about the Man/Boy Love group and how people who take your kids pictures at schools were where they got kids pictures (and info on where to find them)to put into a magazine from which these fucking perverts shopped. If they wanted a kid, the kid was kidnapped and some of the kidnappers who were serving prison time laughed about how if they want your kid you can do absolutely nothing to stop them. BUT the big news involved our government and the Mafia.

The parents were working with the FBI, of course. At one point they were literally introduced to a Mafia guy who wanted to assure them that the Mafia was not into this racket BUT that they knew (and the FBI) of where this shit went down. For some reason the FBI wanted to protect the good name of the Mafia (go figure). They flew the parents (blindfolded) to a location and took them into a warehouse. They were able to watch an auction of kids paraded across the stage and sold. The FBI told them most of the kids are sold to people outside the country and wisked away quickly. The parents were trying to get out the message that this is such bullshit when our government agencies know this is going on and did NOTHING about it.

I will never forget that speech of theirs---and never knew it would show up this many years later. So, I hope this helps in that our government has permitted this shit to go on because obviously some very big people don't want this investigated. That is why alarm bells went off when Bush would talk about the child sex trade in this country. They know where to look if they really want to stop it. And, of course, all the rumors that had been around for years about Papa Bush and his 'love' for little boys. I want to stress that the parents were just relentless in their pursuit besides talking to newspapers, etc. and the FBI felt a lot of pressure. I can remember sitting there in outrage that the FBI would hook them up with people who could take them to a slave auction but couldn't seem to arrest and put these people away. Soooo, you go figure out why the law just stood there and did nothing when they knew of this. The parents were apparently taken there to search for their son. If there are any people out there from Iowa who had the parents come to their school and give the presentation, you know what I'm saying is exactly what they told us.

81. Speaking of auction of kids, I copied this from one of the links above:
>>While investigating the Gosch case, Whalen told Noreen Gosch of a slave auction in Houston, Texas. He asked her "Would you go $50,000 to buy your son back, if he goes across the auction block?" Noreen Gosch borrowed the funds. Unfortunately, Whalen informed Noreen Gosch that Johnny was not at the Texas auction. Whalen was discovered as helping Noreen Gosch and was forbidden from
attending other auctions.<<

77. There have been pedophile scandals in other countries too
Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 11:19 PM by starroute
I frankly don't know what to make of all this. Half the time I think it's a pure witch-hunt (especially when it gets into the Satanic abuse stuff) and the other half of the time I'm convinced there are monsters running our world and this is one of the few visible keys to their true nature. Or perhaps the real situation is something very different from either of these . . .

Among other things, there's something that just doesn't pass the smell test about a lot of these stories. They seem to have more to do with the extreme right-wing agenda -- the stuff that's all about Bavarian Illuminati and decadence and nameless horrors -- than with anything even remotely liberal or progressive. As with Moon's Washington Times running the Franklin scandal above the fold, they often seem designed to convince people that there are dark Satanic forces operating everything behind the scenes and to destroy all faith in liberal democracy as a result.

Even beyond that, there's an element of Shock and Awe built into these kinds of stories that I can tell has already plunged many of you on this thread into some very unsettled emotional states. The use of aberrant sexuality is a well-established factor in many mind control techniques -- Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo being two well-known examples. Once your reality has been destabilized in that way, you become easy prey for outside manipulation.

So by all means let's keep looking at these things, but please also reserve judgment and be suspicious of *everything* -- including your own personal emotional reactions. There's no other safe way to approach it.

That said, here are a few links I've saved over the last few years regarding related cases outside the US:

There was the Marc Dutroux affair in Belgium a while back:
http://konformist.com/2001/pedophocracy1.htm

There was the more recent scandal in Portugal:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/ex_minister_held_in_child_sex_ring_case.html

There was something involving Blair's cabinet in Britain:
http://www.counterpunch.org/james01292003.html

And here's a page of links to all of those and more:

86. ATTN: in_cog_ni_to et. al RE: birthmark!
Hmmm...this is too weird. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet...

But, as mentioned per this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3144209&mesg_id=3153723&page=

John David Gosch had a large birthmark on his chest. Assuming that he had it removed, there could be a scar or blemish in its place.

Look at this photo of Gannon. It was the only high-res, closeup photo I could find of his chest:


You see that purplish blemish to the LEFT of his dogtags???

217. Check out this photo
at: http://www.male4malescorts.com/reviews/bulldogdc.html

There is a big mole or something on the left side of his chest, near the collarbone. I'm sending you to the site so it cannot be said I edited the photo. Warning: explicit text on this page. Do not go there if you are offended. The photo itself is not pornographic.

I've been reading this thread and I am totally freaked by some of the information here.
I, too am an artist/sculptor and from a portrait perspective I do see A LOT of similarities in the photos, especially in the lips, eyes, eyebrows and chin.

I wonder what Andy is up to....

99. whoa there!!!!!!!
It's occurred to me, too. But we really can't just say it as if there's no question. Seems to me it's too early to tell.

(I posted upthread, too, but still was just sharing a bit of speculation. Pure speculation. We need to take it a step at a time.)

Probably isn't him.

137. That is so true! My husband had blue eyes as a child and
they changed to green in his later teen years. My mother-in-law,when I first met her, thought he still had blue eyes and was blown away when I pointed out they were now green (that was shortly after I had first met him.)

300. Brown eyes OFTEN turn to green or amber as a person ages.
As a child I had nearly black brown eyes. As I age they become more and more green. I read this is a sign of a specific vitamin deficiency but I can't remember what. copper maybe

greenish and sometimes greyish, depending on how I'm feeling or what I have on for clothing.(I guess anyway) but they do change colors.

124. Also, the eyebrows are totally different. I don't believe that would
change either.

I don't think they are one and the same, as JimmieJeff is much older, but I have a feeling that this is one of the mysterious things (same initials) that might lead to finding out what happened to Johnnie.

145. In the only unaltered photo taken before he disappeared
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 10:03 AM by Spazito
his eyebrow shape, etc, is not really visible although his left one shows a little:



The photo that shows his eyebrows is an age-enhanced photo that shows what he might look like in later years.

Edited to add second photo posted by Andy, another untouched one that shows his eyebrows:

309. Eyebrow thin with age. Gay men often pluck them too.
You can change the shape of your eyebrows very easily with plucking. If Gannon was a high priced call boy that dealt with wealthy individuals he likely got regular pedicures, manicures and , facial treatments.

311. Interesting that you mention this.
I have been thinking about the eyebrows, and 'plucking'. He is known to be shaving his body hair (according to his websites). Plucking eyebrows for a more 'pert, youthful expression' is a possibility.

If you pluck long enough, it does not come back (I wish I'd done less plucking for the fashion of my youth).

I still am not sure it relates to Gosch, I'm just saying that there are so many similarities that the eyebrows can't rule it out.

286. I've had green eyes all my life and people swear to me they are blue.
this is a good deal because this is how they identified the afghan girl (national geographic), the eyes are like fingerprints if you have a close enough photo to scan.

MY eyes still look blue most of the time in photos.

I had to go pick my son up at a friend's house the other night. I had been DEEP into the original thread. I found myself looking in my back seat for CIA agents, around the corner of my house to see if anyone was there and when I returned home I cautiously walked into a dark room. :scared: Paranoia is setting in. This crap really is scary. All the bodies along the way says a lot. They will kill anyone to keep this story quiet. :scared:

196. Johnny Gosch could be under mind control.
That's what they do. It's part of the whole program. The dead people are not people who were on the inside. They were people who had found info they shouldn't have. A Deputy died when he found child porn pics in a field after a journalist's plain crash. That journalist had been given pictures by one of the kidnapped boys who took pictures for Larry King. The dead people were not from within the ring. At least not the ones I'M referring to. The children involved have/had no control over their actions.

247. Here's another take on the mysterious Caradori plane crash...

By Ted Gunderson:
<snip>
The evening of July 11, 1990, Gary Caradori, the investigator for the Nebraska State Legislature, Special Committee, called Senator Loran Schmit, Chairman of the Committee, from Chicago and told him he had the "smoking gun". Caradori told Senator Schmit he would fly that night from Chicago on his private plane with his son en route to Lincoln, Nebraska, with the evidence. The plane exploded in mid-air a short time later while flying over Aurora, Illinois killing Caradori and his 8-year-old son.
(cut)

My question was going to be WHY did he have his son with him in the plane? Found this: (cuts)
A Committee of the Nebraska State Senate was formed to investigate the pedophile charges. Their investigator was Gary Caradori. He took his son to a sports game in Chicago and while in Chicago, Gary was able to apparently pin down with witnesses the role in the pedophile ring of the Elder Bush. Gary called from Chicago to Loran Schmit, a member of the Nebraska State Senate investigating committee.



Gary "called committee chairman Loran Schmit, before his (Gary's) return trip and said, 'I got it, Loran. We've got 'em by the balls' ".That was July 11, 1990. "Caradori wasn't finished with his investigation. He and his son were killed on 7-11-90 while returning from the All Star game in Chicago. The plane came apart in the air and crashed and burned on impact. The NTSB has not issued a formal statement on the cause of the crash. In addition to going to the ball game, he was also working some leads on the case." And Gary's "briefcase and papers were inexplicably missing from the crash site, along with the two rear seats of the plane." (from "The Mystery of the Carefully Crafted Hoax", pages 77-78. The book goes into great details how the state and federal authorities, through a hoax, tried to cover up the pedophile ring operating at the highest levels in the nation's capital.) http://www.thisistherealtruth.com/


http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a396facc72f4d.htm
This goes deep and the freepers were writing about it FIVE YEARS AGO!

AND YEARGHH .. I'm gonna pull my hair out (I missed this story over the weekend - wasn't online. My outrage is recent. THANKS to all of you to present this issue!)

207. Covenant House

(cut)In the United States, it fit into the Reagan scheme to "privatize" social services. According to Russ Baker's article in the Voice, the vast majority of Covenant House's clients were inner-city minority youth suffering from the loss of social services under the Reagan administration.

OH YES! LET's PRIVITIZE. All the more victims/prostitutes to make. Of course we know who the REAL prostitues are.
They bow to greed and corruption. Let us pray for them.

106. Just to recap JDG - JDG linkage
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 02:08 AM by sojourner
similarities (and handle the objections that keep popping up)

Jeff (D?) Gannon
James D. Guckert
Johnny D. Gosch

Johnny Gosch worked for newspaper; his boss' name James Gannon

Ages for James/Jeff differ by about 10 years; the youngest of those matches age for Johnny Gosch.

Facial similarities as spotted by artists at DU: chin, eyes, mouth

Johnny Gosch had a birthmark on his chest. Left side. Check out the photo of Jeff Gannon...a purplish mark on his chest - left side.

----
People keep saying different ears...but the ears for Johnny Gosch don't show in the unretouched pix. So there's nothing to match with.

Eye color: blue for Johnny Gosch and green for Jeff Gannon. Doesn't mean a bloody thing. My own eyes were blue in youth. Now green. Really green. And they still look blue sometimes.

Jeff has moles that aren't there in Johnny's photo. Again, moles can and do show up later in life. My 30 yr old daughter still finds new ones.

So, there you have it. A summary of the major "coincidences" seeming to link the JDGs. You decide how wacky it is to think there's a possibility here. No one says certainty. But possibility? Me thinks so.

118. O.M.G.
As a portrait artist (non-professional) I found the similarities in bone structure, lips, chin striking. I expected to dismiss this immediately when I saw the photos. I could not.

Then upon reading this:

Jeff (D?) Gannon
James D. Guckert
Johnny D. Gosch

Johnny Gosch worked for newspaper; his boss' name James Gannon

Ages for James/Jeff differ by about 10 years; the youngest of those matches age for Johnny Gosch.


I'm speechless.

178. If Jimmy-Jeff served in the military and participated in the gulf war
or was around the same chemicals used during the gulf war, the moles could be caused by that. I dated a gulf war vet, it freaked him out to have new growths poppy up on his body - of course the VA said it was not related to the war, he had no problems, go away, you are okay!

a sign of over exposure to the sun. Moles mean nothing from the standpoint of a child to an adult.

I can see them using these "parties" after hours as blackmail to get Senators and Reps to vote the way they want...get them plastered at the regular party or put ruffies in their drinks, set them up for the "after party" take pictures and video, presto instant vote....

I remember thinking how damn STRANGE it was. Literally, out of the blue, he brought up the child slave/porno issue during his UN speech. It was like he was sending a "private message" to someone. There has to be a transcript of that UN speech somewhere. The issue came out of left field.

In a report based on an unnamed source, Raw Story reported McClellan visited a homosexual bar March 19, 1995. Another anonymous source was quoted as saying McClellan regularly frequented Austin, Texas, "gay clubs." McClellan is an Austin native. His mother, Carolyn Keeton Strayhorn, former mayor of Austin is comptroller of the state of Texas and considered a contender for the governorship.
...
Dotty Lynch, senior political editor for CBS News, about Rove, she speculated about a link.

"The architect of the Bush victories in 2000 and 2004 came through the ranks of college Republicans with the late Lee Atwater, and their admitted and alleged dirty tricks are the legends many young political operatives dream of pulling off," she wrote. "So when Jeff Gannon, White House 'reporter' for Talon 'News,' was unmasked last week, the leap to a possible Rove connection was unavoidable. Gannon says that he met Rove only once, at a White House Christmas party, and Gannon is kind of small potatoes for Rove at this point in his career."

She continued: "But Rove's dominance of White House and Republican politics, Gannon's aggressively partisan work and the ease with which he got day passes for the White House press room the past two years make it hard to believe that he wasn't at least implicitly sanctioned by the 'boy genius.' Rove, who rarely gave on-the-record interviews to the MSM (mainstream media), had time to talk to GOPUSA, which owns Talon."

Time for Bush to define 'independent press'
By Dante Chinni

What was more interesting than that exchange, however, was the one that immediately preceded it at the same press conference - a back-and-forth with reporters about the administration's paying reporters for positive coverage, as the Education Department did with Armstrong Williams. "There needs to be a nice independent relationship between the White House and the press," the president said.

The question is where Guckert fits into all this. True, the White House didn't pay him for coverage, we assume. But how exactly do he,and pseudo-reporters like him qualify as journalists and help create the "nice independent relationship" the president says he seeks?

White House shuns news hounds in favor of lap dogs

By Clarence Page
Originally published February 22, 2005

But all that's a titillating sideshow compared with the charges that House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland has called to the attention of the special prosecutor investigating the leak of Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative to columnist Robert Novak. In 2003, Mr. Guckert wrote on Talon News that he had asked Ms. Plame's husband, Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, about "an internal government memo prepared by U.S. intelligence personnel" that revealed his wife's CIA role.

Revealing a CIA agent's identity is a federal crime. Reporters for Time and The New York Times face possible jail sentences for refusing to say who revealed Ms. Plame's CIA role to them in an apparent effort to discredit Mr. Wilson's criticism of the Bush administration's Iraq war policy. Is the prosecutor putting Mr. Guckert's feet to the fire too? If not, why not?

Of course, every administration tries to manipulate the media. Team Bush has elevated it to a high art.

Column: You got some splainin' to do
By Elizabeth Aleman
Published: Tuesday, February 22, 2005

There are few things that would be more outlandish than me scribbling the word "PRESS" on a scrap of paper, tacking it onto a fedora and being granted a White House press pass. Perhaps a gigolo who moonlights as a writer for a right-wing Web site receiving such a pass could be considered slightly more ridiculous. Only because I actually write for an accredited news source, while he was admitted into the White House pressroom for two years without any credentials whatsoever.

February has been a booger of a month for James Guckert, a.k.a. "Jeff Gannon," who, aside from being my casting choice for any Right Said Fred tribute band, has recently retired from his post as White House reporter for Talon.com. Not only has he been caught with his pants down figuratively, but in the literal sense as well. Bloggers discovered nude photos of Guckert last week on numerous Web sites such as MaleCorps.com, WorkingBoys.net and MeetLocalMen.com.
...
Guckert, who applied for his passes under his real name, was denied a Capitol Hill press pass because Talon.com was not considered a "legitimate, independent news source." One would think that this fact alone was a hint to the White House press office that Guckert was not eligible to be admitted into the White House pressroom. Therefore, logic would indicate that whoever gave Guckert access to the White House everyday since 2003 must have known that he was not an accredited journalist and/or that he was a hooker, or else they would have simply asked him to apply for a hard pass. Continued...
...
I'm speculating at this point that Gannon/Guckert/whoever was scheduled to go down for Valerie Plame. High espionage is not my forte. Is this a red herring? A way to take him down? Or, will he squeal? Given the survial rate of potential squealers, he owes it to humanity to come clean while there's still time. Promise even if he goes away THIS doesn't!

Homeland Security . My Ass.

286. ANOTHER twist! Johnny Gosch worked for the Des Moines Register!


WHY on earth would his employer not want to do EVERYTHING in his/it's power to help the Gosch family find Johnny? Odd. VERY odd!

<snip>The Des Moines Register was ignoring any kind of helpful publicity
(no one could understand why…. (Johnny worked for them), so we worked
with other forms of the press, in and outside our state. I received a phone call
in the spring of 1983, a woman saying, she worked at the Des Moines Register
in the newsroom…. She reported, “Shortly after the kidnapping, the editor at
that time, came into the newsroom and announced …all articles written about
the Gosch boy WILL be slanted against the family and for the police.” She
would not give me her name… she was afraid of losing her job. I now knew
what was happening but didn’t understand “why”!<snip>

http://www.johnnygosch.com/chap.pdf

Can someone ask Ms. Gosch where the father of her son is?
Hate to be "rude" but this might be espionage against the American People and the Republic for which we stand.
So rudeness will have to suffice.

I'm too polite to voice what I'm thinking at this point.

116. Is this an 'old' wrinkle on the story?
Google seems to end up in the oddest places, especially when looking for odd info. Gawd help me, I don't know how the hell ... but freeps were on this stuff (not tied to gannon, but gannon was in my search?!) over 4-5 years ago! Weird? Is this related to the rings you guys are talking about? Looks like they were on it to nail Barney Frank, although there are alot of others thrown in the mix.

131. Interesting stuff in the latest Voice of the White House.

February 19, 2005 ; “The internet anti-Bush people are completely right about the Karl Rove/Gannon love affair business. I have been repeatedly told by people on the inside that would know, that Rove, who is a closet queen, has had an affair with this creep (it's all over now thanks to the heat generated by the alternate media. )Karl likes to be dominated and Gannon, an ageing weight lifter, likes to be around the seat of power...if you will forgive a terrible pun. Also, Fat Karl is the one, informed sources have repeatedly advised me, that leaked the name of Frau Wilson to Novak....

This is not going to go away and I can see it as a lovely vehicle for outing all kinds of the Beltway prominenten starting with one Supreme Court Justice, several governors (all Republican) and at least one very prominent televangelist...

I worked in the White House during some of the Reagan years and I can tell you for a fact that there was more action in dark closets and back offices than in all of the gay bars in Greenwich Village. None of this ever came near to Reagan who would have thrown up if he knew about the sticky floors and used condoms tossed out of White House windows, to decorate the bushes, but it certainly existed then and it exists now.


Just had a flash--VOWH mentions "one Supreme Court Justice". Somewhere up this thread or in the other one somebody mentions Rehnquist's daughter had a connection to missing foster children in Florida. Going to look for it...

Here it is. This thread, post 56, flyarm:

reinquists daughter was in charge of this dept i believe here in fla..and when she got fired they gave her 5 months to clear out her office..i remember being furious about that , evidently money was missing or mis appropriated and they gave her 5 month to vacate her office...i thought at the time and i wrote a letter to the editor at the time..who gets 5 months to shred their records when getting fired for a real lousey job..missing kids and missing money..and they didnt put locks on the doors and do an audit??
and i remember they said the paper work was in such a disarray that some kids would never be found.


Oh, dear God.

256. Scalia, Opus Dei, and Sadistic Cults
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 05:13 PM by Donailin
Scalia belongs to Opus Dei, the same cult of catholicism (and same "parish" in VA.) that Robert Hanson, Convicted FBI turned spy for the Soviets, belonged to. Hanson was so holy that he would set up a hidden camera in his bedroom and allow his best friend watch Hanson have sex with Mrs. Hanson. Sick and twisted. Which is what always happens in a puritanical religion it appears.

Some info:
http://taconline.org/2001/2001-04/Henningsen401.htm

Founded in 1928 in Spain by Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, the stated purpose of Opus Dei is to “Spread throughout society a profound awareness of the universal call to holiness and apostolate through one’s professional work carried out with freedom and personal responsibility.” One would be hard-pressed to argue with their mission statement. The controversies that arise over Opus Dei stem from their practices, which may be the main reason that they prefer to cloak the majority of their activities in secrecy. Among the more questionable practices of Opus Dei members are: The wearing of a spiked chain called a “Cilice” that breaks the skin around the upper thigh for two hours each day; beating oneself 33 times once a week with a cord-like whip known as a “Discipline” (many Opus Dei members ask permission of their superiors to engage in this activity more often. Opus Dei Founder Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer was said to be so fierce in his use of it that he routinely splattered the bathroom walls with blood); recruitment through the use of front groups; lack of informed consent (practices such as opening all incoming and outgoing mail, corporal mortification such as that described above and the donation of entire salaries are not revealed until after an initial commitment has been made); a prohibition against telling family members and friends of one’s involvement in Opus Dei; and a prohibition against displaying photographs of loved ones. Though some close to Opus Dei claim that the corporal mortification has been modified in recent years, the impenetrability of the organization makes that assertion impossible to verify. Though it is a fact that corporal mortification was once more widely practiced within the church, modern psychology has long since brought an end to those practices since such behavior is now deemed sado-masochistic and inappropriate as an aid to spiritual development. The combination of questionable forms of corporal mortification and the strict controls it imposes on its members have made many refer to the group as a cult, and much as the moonies gave rise to numerous organizations dedicated to “deprogramming” those who had become victims of Sun Myung Moon, Opus Dei’s activities have given rise to the Opus Dei Awareness Network (ODAN) which “provides education, outreach and support for those negatively affected by Opus Dei.” Perhaps most damaging of all to the organization was the testimony of one of its most revered members, Maria del Carmen Tapia, who, in the autobiography of her experiences within Opus Dei, claims that she was held a virtual prisoner at the organization’s headquarters in Rome from 1965-66 and subjected to severe psychological abuse.

Opus Dei has unfortunately discovered no better friend and ally than John Paul II. The pope’s personal spokesperson, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, who is widely credited with the creation of our “media pope,” is himself a member of Opus Dei. In the 1980s, John Paul II granted Opus Dei the status of “personal prelature,” an entity that answers only to their prelate in Rome (in this case, Javier Echevarria). Popes Pius XII, John XXIII and Paul VI had all refused to grant Opus Dei this status and Opus Dei is currently the only personal prelature within the church. In practical terms, what this means, is that local church authorities have nothing to say about Opus Dei activities or its members. John Paul II also beatifed Opus Dei founder Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer despite the fact that Tapia and others warned him against it and he is said to be bent on canonizing him. Reportedly given to massive outbursts of temper throughout his life, Josemaria de Balaguer was hardly a model for Catholic imitation and yet members of Opus Dei are inculcated into a cult-like reverence for him and told both that they may not question his teachings and that he is to be revered even above the pope.



The status that Opus Dei currently enjoys within the church raises serious questions about who they are and what they’re about. And given the large number of photo-opportunities our Protestant President Bush has been engaging in with high-ranking cardinals and bishops within our church, and his extremely surprising suggestion in mid-March that Americans put the teachings of Pope John Paul II into practice, it is probably a good thing that major news agencies are focusing attention on what role, if any, Opus Dei plays in the lives of prominent U.S. politicians.



More to the point, we need to ask what secrecy, class-bound caste systems and sado-masochistic abuse have to do with our church. What possible activity could any Catholic group be engaged in that justifies secrecy? If the work of Opus Dei is so vital to the Vatican, why not shout it from the rooftops and make both their membership lists and their practices public? Is there something that the Vatican does not want us to know about them? These are questions we’re long overdue in asking and it should be evident to all Catholics that any organization that claims the need to live under cover of darkness has nothing whatever to do with Jesus Christ.

sexuality. It's an extremely abusive paradigm they are raised with, and done while their brain is forming, those configurations are hard to un wire once they are embedded.

I had a friend whose father was a minister, she said he was in a pedophile ring called "We too belong" or WTB, and that she was sexually abused by him and his friends.

216. False identify?
I posted something on the first thread about Covenant House -- the other major sex-and-powerful-people scandal of 1989. It included something that might be relevant here:

http://www.blythe.org/nytransfer-subs/99cov/The_Real_History_of_Covenant_House:_GroupWatch_Files

Covenant House is a New York-based organization for teenage runaways founded by Franciscan Father Bruce Ritter in 1968. Ritter began the organization to serve "streetwise" youths who could not obtain assistance from New York social service agencies. In 1977 Ritter and his cause caught the attention of business magnate and founder of AmeriCares, Robert Macauley. Macauley "adopted" Covenant House and recruited some of his influential friends, including former Treasury Secretary William Simon and J. Peter Grace to join the Covenant House board of directors. Under the tutelage of Macauley and the board, Covenant House gathered influence and financial support from around the nation and expanded its operations.

<snip>

The Covenant House image began to crumble in December 1989 when former resident Kevin Lee Kite, a former male prostitute, claimed in an interview in Outweek Magazine that Father Ritter had used some $25,000 in Covenant House funds to support him in return for sexual favors. Kite also revealed that Ritter had provided him with papers that allowed him to assume the identity of Tim Warner, a young boy who had died.

<snip>

Covenant House was implicated in the issuance of the baptismal certificate of a 10-year-old boy who died of leukemia to Kevin Kite to provide Kite with a new identity. It is believed that the certificate was obtained from a Buffalo diocesan priest affiliated with Covenant House. Father Ritter has acknowledged that Covenant House officials secured the certificate.

On the other hand, Guckert/Gannon's connection to the college fraternity from c. 1980 seems like more of a problem. Does anybody have any details on that?

322. Guckert's response to Anderson Cooper during the interview
when Anderson was questioning him on his use of 'Gannon' versus applying for a pass under Guckert, Guckert's response " That is the name on my driver's license" struck me as VERY odd. I would have responded to a question as to why I used my name by saying "That's my real name" not "That's the name on my driver's license". I have, since that interview, asked friends who are not at all interested in the details or members of DU or the other sites currently investigating the 'Gannon' story, how they would have responded to a question like that and they all agree Guckert's response was very odd.

There is certainly a question, imo, whether Guckert is his real name, never mind his use of 'Gannon' as alias. It certainly merits further investigation, imo.

Johnny Gosch was 12 years old when he was kidnapped in 1982.
He would have been 18 in 1988.

I think this listing (1971-1975) would be for an older man.

Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 07:57 PM by bush_is_wacko
I heard Mr. Walsh mention a while back that he thought they were getting close to finding out who killed him. He also ran a story on Goche or whatever his name is and apparently did so against the wishes of MANY callers. I think he should be contacted. I don't know how that can be done though. I don't watch much TV and I have no idea if this show is still on but they did used to have a hotline. I'm still engrossed in this thread, but I will attempt to look around at some point for a contact on the guy. The Ramsey connection has been going through my head for a long, long time and the HST connection hit me hard.

BTW, Staynor's brother was convicted of murdering several women in Yellowstone Park I believe and is serving time in prison with a death sentence if I remember right. Didn't "America's Most Wanted" help break that case?

I just remembered, I think Staynor was murdered in jail. Anyone know for sure?

You have to look at all features. The eyes appear to have the same shape. We need someone to photoshop the images and then overlay one eye over the other (similar to how cops compare). The check bones and shape of the face, the chin, they are all similar.

It looks like the same gap in the front teeth too.

Don't they thicken with age? Look at the second photo of gannon and the arch and extenstion of the eyebrows.



The extension and arch appears the same. Also note, shaving eyebrows to shorter lengths is not unheard of.

Edit:

Artist eye...I can see the resemblence in the cheeks, and dimples at the side of the mouth...the chin seems longer, but that could be the angle and age. (from lower lip to the tip of the chin.) the square angle of the chin is the same. (Guckert's face seems narrower, slimmer, but remember the face of Johnny is young and still has some "baby fat" due to age.

Tip of nose as well is very simular.

This is scary the holy crap out of me.

315. This is another reason I KNOW Gannon is not 47!
First of all eyeybrows often THIN with age but they may grow bushy hair that is kind of akimbo making them APPEAR thicker AND my husband is only 41 and his eyebrows have thinned immensly and grow funny hairs like that. Gannon is for sure UNDER 40 or has his eybrows done professionally. That would not be farfetched given his profession and salary as a high priced callboy who regularly does business with the elite.

BRITAIN:

Alleged Pedophiles Helm Blair's War Room
Counterpunch, January 29, 2003

A child-sex scandal that threatened to destroy Tony Blair's government last week has been mysteriously squashed and wiped off the front pages of British newspapers. Operation Ore, the United Kingdom's most thorough and comprehensive police investigation of crimes against children, seems to have uncovered more than is politically acceptable at the highest reaches of the British elite. In the 19th of January edition of The Sunday Herald, Neil Mackay sensationally reported that senior members of Tony Blair's government were being investigated for paedophilia and the "enjoyment" of child-sex pornography:

"The Sunday Herald has also had confirmed by a very senior source in British intelligence that at least one high-profile former Labour Cabinet minister is among Operation Ore suspects. The Sunday Herald has been given the politician's name but, for legal reasons, can not identify the person.

There are still unconfirmed rumours that another senior Labour politician is among the suspects. The intelligence officer said that a 'rolling' Cabinet committee had been set up to work out how to deal with the potentially ruinous fall-out for both Tony Blair and the government if arrests occur."

The Blair government has responded by imposing a comprehensive blackout on the story, effectively removing it from the domain of public discussion. Attempts on the part of this journalist to establish why the British media has not followed up on the revelations have met with a wall of silence. Editors and journalists of The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, The Sunday Times, The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Daily Express, The Mirror, The Sun, the BBC, Independent Television News and even The Sunday Herald have refused to discuss the matter.

Call to lift veil of secrecy over Dunblane
The Guardian, February 14, 2003

Campaigners yesterday called for a review of the 100-year secrecy rule imposed on some documents seen by the inquiry into the Dunblane killings which were never made public.

The move comes after the Scottish cabinet this week instructed Scotland's most senior law officer to look again at the 100-year ban placed on a police report on Thomas Hamilton, who murdered 16 primary schoolchildren and their teacher.

There have been allegations that the lengthy closure order was placed on the report after it linked Hamilton to figures in the Scottish establishment, including two senior politicians and a lawyer.

...

There has been much speculation about the identity of the politicians in the report. It is known that in June 1996 Michael Forsyth, then Scottish secretary and MP for Stirling, congratulated Hamilton on running a boys' club in Dunblane.

Ritual abuse, pedophilia, murder, and the charge of a government cover-up
The Telegraph, August 17, 2001

Five years after the bodies of four murdered Belgian girls were discovered at houses owned by the paedophile Marc Dutroux, the father of one of them has accused the country's police and justice system of a cover-up ensuring that his trial has still not begun.

The claims by Paul Marchal, father of An Marchal, who was 17 when she disappeared in 1995, echo what many Belgians now privately believe: that Dutroux and his paedophile ring had connections with high-ranking members of the establishment in Belgium.

In a country that is becoming inured to corruption in public life, the theory of a cover-up is now increasingly accepted as the real reason why the Dutroux case has yet to come to court.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/08/17/wbelg17.xml

Adding further fuel to the fire, as a Los Angeles Times report revealed, were claims by “a highly regarded children’s activist, Marie-France Botte … the Justice Ministry is sitting on a politically sensitive list of customers of pedophile videotapes.” The same report noted, “the affair has become further clouded by the discovery of a motorcycle that reportedly matches the description of one used in the 1991 assassination of prominent Belgian businessman and politician Andre Cools. Michel Bourlet, the head prosecutor on the pedophile case, meanwhile, has publicly declared that the investigation can be thoroughly pursued only without political interference. Several years ago, Bourlet was removed from the highly charged Cools case, which remains unsolved.”

A report in Time magazine alluded to murky links between the Dutroux operation and organized crime figures. Marc Verwilghen - the chief investigating magistrate on the case – stated the case more bluntly: “For me, the Dutroux affair is a question of organised crime.” Also mentioned in the Time article was the use of secret “underground tunnels,” not unlike those described by children a decade earlier at the infamous McMartin Preschool.

Outrage continued to grow as more arrests were made and evidence of high-level government and police complicity continued to emerge. One of Dutroux's accomplices, businessman Jean-Michel Nihoul, confessed to organizing an ‘orgy’ at a Belgian chateau that had been attended by government officials, a former European Commissioner, and a number of law enforcement officers. A Belgian senator noted, quite accurately, that such parties were part of a system “which operates to this day and is used to blackmail the highly placed people who take part.”

PORTUGAL

Portugal rocked by child sex scandal
Allegations that a child sex ring has been operating out of state-run children's homes in Portugal for decades has prompted intervention by President Jorge Sampaio.

BBC, May 29, 2003

The developments sparked an outcry in Portugal, particularly when it was reported that a former president and several government ministers, as well as the police, knew of the allegations as far back as the early 1980s but failed to take action.

"Faced with the horror that so many children, who were entrusted to us to be educated and cared for, were victimised it is necessary to declare here that the president is certain that the guilty will be severely punished," President Sampaio said in a speech.

The latest high-profile arrests are of men publicly accused of sex abuse by former children of Casa Pia, Portugal's largest network of homes for troubled children.

Casa Pia first made the headlines following allegations that an employee at the institution allegedly helped wealthy child molesters to meet young boys in his care for over two decades.

YUGOSLAVIA

Government officials in sex trafficking ring arrested

The Independent, 06 December 2002

When police in the tiny republic of Montenegro swooped on a suspected pimp accused of running a major sex trafficking operation, they ran into an embarrassing problem.

The man they were about to put behind bars was none other than the country's deputy state prosecutor.

Montenegro has been shaken hard by the burgeoning scandal, which allegedly involved leading members of the judiciary, police and political officials. Zoran Piperovic, the republic's deputy prosecutor, was arrested this week, and six other officials have been detained. They are accused of forcing women, mostly from Moldavia, Ukraine and Romania, into prostitution.

The arrests are only a small part of the scandal, according to sources in the Montenegrin capital, Podgorica. It is an open secret in the Balkans that people-trafficking rings run through Montenegro to Bosnia and Kosovo, with profits from the dirty trade reaching millions of euros.

CHILE

Chilean elites caught in child porn ring

Boston Globe Jan 12 2004

VALPARAISO, Chile -- Congresswoman Maria Pia Guzman is a strait-laced conservative who has suddenly and unexpectedly become an outcast at the Congress building here. Sometimes her follow legislators murmur an insult when she comes within earshot: "Witch!"

Guzman did not unleash the sex scandal now rocking Chile's political and social elite, a sordid tale centered around a millionaire businessman and some runaway teenagers.

But she did publicly link a handful of congressmen and senators to the case, suggesting some of her own political allies might be involved in an alleged ring of prostitution and child pornography. And for that, some of her fellow legislators will not forgive her.

When she gets in an elevator with other congressmen, they often step out. "There is a very strong psychological warfare going on," Guzman said in an interview in her Valparaiso office. Lighting a cigarette, she added: "Before this case, I had stopped smoking."

MEXICO

Mob In Mexico Burns Two Federal Agents Alive

November 24, 2004

MEXICO CITY -- A crowd angry about recent child kidnappings cornered plainclothes federal agents taking photos of students at a school on Mexico City's outskirts and burned the officers alive, the latest example of mob justice in a country beset by corrupt police and high crime.

...

The violence began in the early evening, when locals collared three men staking out a school in the San Juan Ixtlayopan neighborhood. The area has been tense since two youngsters disappeared and were feared kidnapped from the school. Some in the crowd appeared to believe the agents were kidnappers. When asked about complaints that authorities had failed to respond to demands to investigate the disappearances, Figueroa said a full schedule had prohibited federal authorities from concentrating on the case.

TOLEDO

April 2004

TOLEDO, Ohio - Investigators re-examined the 1980 slaying of a nun whose body was found in a chapel surrounded by candles after another woman alleged she was abused by Roman Catholic priests during Satanic and sadomasochistic rituals.

...

Rev. Gerald Robinson, 66, was charged Friday with murdering Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, who was strangled and stabbed about 30 times on April 5, 1980. Her body was found in a hospital chapel, surrounded by lit candles with her arms folded across her chest.

...

The woman whose allegations led to the reopening of the case testified before a church review board in June and wrote a detailed statement alleging years of abuse by priests during her childhood.

The woman, now in her 40s, alleged that the clerics killed an infant and a 3-year-old child, performed an abortion on her and mutilated dogs, according to a copy of her statement obtained by The Blade. She described Satanic ceremonies in which priests placed her in a coffin filled with cockroaches, forced her to ingest what she believed to be a human eyeball, and penetrated her with a snake "to consecrate these orifices to Satan."

Dark allegations arise amid probe of nun's slaying
Authorities expand investigation to claims of ritualistic sex abuse

February 20, 2005

For Toledo police, it was a rare assignment: Search an abandoned house on the edge of a cornfield in western Lucas County where people reportedly took part in ritual abuse ceremonies.

...

No longer was the probe focusing solely on the man accused of killing Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, but was expanding into a new direction: accusations that children were molested and raped by priests in ritual services.

...

The investigation started with the details of the crime scene: an aging nun found strangled and repeatedly stabbed in the sacristy of the hospital chapel, her body posed to look like she was sexually assaulted.

But now, deeper issues have surfaced over accusations of sexual abuse of children in churches and schools by priests and lay members beginning in the late 1960s.

Another coincidence.
2 boys named John Gosch missing?

http://infoweb.newsbank.com.oh0177.oplin.org/iw-search/we/InfoWeb?p_action=doc&p_docid=0EB42C193393B2EE&p_docnum=5&p_queryname=6&p_product=NewsBank&p_theme=aggregated4&p_nbid=O58C44NBMTEwOTA4MjUzNC41NTI1NjA6MToxMzo2Ni4yMTMuNDEuMTc3

Body Is Found; Lost Paperboy Case Reopened
Los Angeles Times
April 5, 1990
Author: From United Press InternationalNational Desk


The mother of Johnny Gosch, the West Des Moines paperboy who disappeared seven years ago, said Wednesday she was stunned by the discovery of the body of a young man with a similar name.

West Des Moines police thought they had a break in Gosch's baffling disappearance when Mexican authorities on Friday pulled the body of a young man from a drainage ditch in northern Mexico and identified him as John E. Gosch. The name was similar to John D. Gosch, who vanished on Sept. 5, 1982, while delivering Sunday newspapers in Des Moines.
But West Des Moines Police Lt. Gary Scott said a Tacoma, Wash., family named Gosch maintains the body is that of their adopted son.

Police in Yuma, Ariz., said John E. Gosch apparently was killed near their city in a drug-related shooting and the body ended up in Mexico. Yuma authorities said they will send dental records to West Des Moines for comparisons to the missing paperboy.
"I feel terrible," said Noreen Gosch, the paperboy's mother. "This whole coincidence is just unbelievable. It would be such a relief to have it over. I'd rather have the bad news over now instead of later."

The coincidences do not stop at the names of the victims. The man found in Mexico was born on Oct. 22, 1969, two weeks before the missing paperboy's birthday.
The Gosch family in Washington told West Des Moines police they adopted a boy in Oklahoma in 1980 and renamed him John.

Noreen Gosch said her son was spotted in Oklahoma a few months after he disappeared. A boy reportedly begged a woman for help before being dragged off by two men. The woman called police but they could not locate the youth.
In another coincidence, Des Moines police traveled to southern Mexico last week to check out a reported sighting of Eugene Martin, who disappeared from his Des Moines paper route two years after John D. Gosch vanished.

Police arrest two on child porn charges:

A complaint about excessive comings and goings of teenage boys at a Chantilly house led, this week, to the arrest of two Fairfax County men for child pornography offenses.

Richard Evans, of Annandale, and George Bishop, of Chantilly, who co-manage a literary Web site, were both arrested by Fairfax County Police on Friday, Jan. 28.

Police started investigating Bishop, 46, after they received a complaint that he was allegedly inviting teenage boys to come to his house, to drink alcohol and to take illegal narcotics.

On Jan. 7, Detective Peter Charles, of the Fairfax County Police Department, served Bishop with a search warrant at his home at 4156 Pleasant Meadow Court in Chantilly.

166. From Johnnys' Mother
April 1983, six months after the kidnapping of my son, a young man identifying himself as George Paul Bishop contacted me by phone. He told me an international kidnapping/pornography ring had taken my son. I asked, “how do you know that to be true, can you prove it!” He replied, “ I work for a government agency which is investigating pedophile organizations. And there are indicators in your case that suggests your son was taken by such an organization. We feel he is being used for pornography and prostitution.” All clues were pointing to the kidnapping being organized and not that of a “lone criminal”. I found it difficult to believe and accept that my son could have been targeted by such an organization. It was only in later years, I was to learn the possible reason Johnny was selected.



THE SECOND KIDNAPPING

I received a phone call from Sam Soda, local private investigator. He claimed to have valuable information for me and wanted to meet as soon as possible. We arranged to meet at his office the evening June 13, 1984. This was another of the tons of calls from people trying to help, I had no idea if his information was something I could use or not. Many of the leads turned out to be nothing. But I accepted the meeting with him.



I brought a tape recorder along and placed it on the table. Sam raised no objection to being taped. During this meeting, he disclosed information about a “second kidnapping in Des Moines”. He claimed this came from an informant. The kidnapping was to occur on the second weekend in August, on the South Side of Des Moines and that it would be another paperboy. I thought it strange that he would be telling me this and not the police. When I questioned him on this point, he claimed that I should be the one to take the information to the Des Moines Police, as it would be their jurisdiction. I thanked him for the information and left. I thought that if this information were on the level… it would be a chance to prevent another kidnapping. I believed him but still questioned why he told me and not the police.

I went the very next day to the Des Moines Police Dept., asking if I could play the tape of the meeting with Mr. Soda for them. The uniformed officer at the front desk would not allow me to talk to a Detective, he insisted, “If they felt my information was of importance they would call me”. Repeatedly, I told him that I had a tape recording and in a couple of months, there would be another paperboy kidnapped. They treated me as though I had lost my mind and didn’t want to be bothered with me. I was shocked, my son was kidnapped and they were rejecting information to prevent another crime.

When I left the Police Dept., I contacted WHO, WOI & KCCI TV station program managers. I did speak to each of them and relayed the information, telling them I also had a tape recording of this conversation. I was shocked to find out that even though they listened to me, no one wanted to listen to the tape. I was very uneasy about the whole situation and felt that Mr. Soda had given me important information. Someone needed to take it seriously. I contacted Frank Santiago, Des Moines Register reporter, who had been assigned to Johnny’s story since the beginning. He was the only one who really listened to the information. He asked if I had been to the police. I told him “yes and to the TV stations”. He showed concern and then thanked me for the information.



Paul Bishop, CIA Asset made a short trip to Des Moines, July 31, 1984. It was at this time, he reported the name of the man who was the “spotter”…. Sam Soda in Johnny’s kidnapping. Paul explained that a spotter is the person who secures a photo of a victim prior to a kidnapping. Years later in 1991, I learned from Private Investigator Roy Stephens, that Paul Bonacci, (who participated in Johnny’s kidnapping) positively identified a photo of Sam Soda as the man, who brought photos of Johnny to the kidnappers, who stayed in a motel room in West Des Moines, on September 4, 1982, the night before the kidnapping.



When Paul spoke his name, I said, “Paul, you need to listen to this tape.” I played recording of my meeting with Sam Soda. He listened…I then told him of my attempts to share the information with the police department and media. Paul was not shocked at what he heard on the tape and paid a visit to Sam Soda, questioning him concerning the source of the information on a second kidnapping. Sam was not too cooperative, became annoyed with Bishop, asking him to leave his office. There is indication today that these two individuals knew each other prior to this time.

Before Paul left Des Moines, he created a very intricate map of the Johnny’s crime scene, indicating time sequence of each aspect of the kidnapping. Paul dated and initialed the map using GPB (George Paul Bishop)

After Paul flew back to Washington, I began to hear from Sam Soda on a regular basis. He wanted to be the investigator for Johnny’s case. He asked for a bank account to be set up for him to draw upon for a salary. I explained to him, we already had a private investigator and could not afford another. He continued to attempt to be involved in any way he could on the case.

I think this suggests how intricate are the manipulations of those involved in the kidnapping and exploitation of children like Johnny. Eventually, I had reports from not only Paul Bishop but also Paul Bonacci (See Bonacci chapter) implicating Sam. What better way for them to keep track of my progress in this case than to plant someone in our very midst? To this very day no police agency has ever conducted a thorough investigation of Sam Soda’s alleged participation in Johnny’s case.

During this time, I had also been working with Senator Grassley from Iowa, he had been particularly helpful in facilitating with the FBI. Many times Paul Bishop would call me from Senator Grassley’s office, when finished speaking with me, he would hand the phone to one of Grassley’s aides who I was familiar with…That convinced me Paul was an accepted visitor on the hill in Washington. A short time later, I received my invitation to testify in Washington D.C. before Senator Arlan Specter’s Hearing on Organized Crime and its Relationship to Kidnapping. Senator Grassley’s office made all of my arrangements

I was instructed by Senator Grassley’s office to Federal Express a copy of my testimony and to carry a copy on the plane when I flew to Washington D.C. In testifying before Congress or State Legislature, you are required to prepare a written presentation of your testimony. Paul Bishop met the plane and escorted me to the hotel. I checked in and then he took me on a tour of Washington, followed by showing me some of the blighted places in D.C., where children as young as ten years old, hang out on the streets late at night. Today those blighted areas include places like the White House Mall at night. Even Congressmen are not safe on the steps of the Capitol.

Later that evening, Paul and I spent time going over every word of my testimony. I wanted to be sure that when I presented my information the following morning that it was clear to the committee, “an Organized Pedophile Group” took my son. Again and again, I have met with denial on the part of individuals and organizations that any such groups could exist in this country. For my protection, two men, dressed in suits were posted outside of my hotel room door all night. A major disturbance occurred downstairs in the lobby during the night, the police were called and arrested the man causing the problem. I have no idea if it was related to me.

The following morning, Paul Bishop, accompanied by two men arrived at the hotel to drive me to the Capitol for the Hearing. The bodyguards accompanied us always a few steps behind us. They were dressed well but business causal rather than suits. Paul looked very polished wearing a dark brown suit. As I entered the room, I noted there were reporters everywhere from ABC, NBC, CBS television, radio, newspaper and magazine. I recognized Special Agent Kenneth Lanning, a member of the Behavioral Science Unit of the FBI Training Division at Quantico, VA, I walked towards him, saying, “Hello, I am Noreen Gosch”, extending my hand to shake his. He pulled back and said, “We know who you are”. With that statement there was a definite chill in the air. It was as though the FBI resented me being asked to testify.

Paul sat beside me at the table, the two bodyguards blended into the background, as I testified to my knowledge of the slave auctions in the U.S. During my testimony, Senator Specter asked a number of questions about my son’s kidnapping and the investigation. I explained, the FBI refused to enter the case, because they wanted me to prove my son’s life was in danger. The lack of response from the local authorities created the need for private investigators.

At this hearing were books made available by the FBI showing children in a mail order type catalog, and offering them for sale. How much more needed to be proven about the existence of organizations national and international that

Before Paul left Des Moines, he created a very intricate map of the Johnny’s crime scene, indicating time sequence of each aspect of the kidnapping. Paul dated and initialed the map using GPB (George Paul Bishop)



My schedule was so tight, I flew immediately back to Des Moines to meet with the crew from ABC 20/20. The following day, Karen Burnes and the film crew from 20/20 arrived in town. It was a beautiful Saturday and the second weekend in August. They filmed locations around Des Moines and West Des Moines, including the site where Johnny was kidnapped. Later when we arrived back at our home. I decided to share the information regarding a second kidnapping, supposed to occur the following day. I played the Sam Soda tape recording for Karen and shared how I had been to the Des Moines Police Dept., telling her of the reaction I received. I had hoped they would at least patrol the paper drop areas on the South Side of Des Moines. I also told Karen, I had given the information to the News Directors at the local TV stations. She showed great interest in the information.



After we finished filming for the day, the crew went to the airport and flew back to New York. Karen remained in Des Moines and stayed at the Marriott hotel. The next morning began with the shock of the phone ringing very early. It was a reporter at the local ABC TV station, telling me “the second kidnapping had just taken place”. He kept saying, “ It happened just as you said it would Mrs. Gosch”.

I asked the reporter, how he knew what I had reported, as I only talked with his manager. He replied “they spread it around the news room …everyone thought you were nuts!” He informed me the police were calling it a kidnapping immediately and the FBI were bringing in twenty-two agents from Quantico, VA to assist in the investigation and search. The young boy kidnapped was Eugene Martin, a newspaper carrier, preparing to deliver his papers on the South Side of Des Moines.

In Johnny’s case, the FBI refused to enter the case, the reason they verbally gave me in my home was that “they had no crime and it was my responsibility to prove my son’s life was in danger”. Why now with Eugene Martin’s kidnapping under identical circumstances was the FBI coming forward with a bevy of FBI agents. Could it be that somewhere during the months of Johnny’s kidnapping ……the law enforcement here learned something?



Based on this phone call alone, I called Karen at the hotel and told her the “second kidnapping had just happened”, exactly as Sam Soda had told me on June 13, 1984. She immediately swung into action contacting her network and arranging for a film crew to come back to Des Moines, when the crew arrived, they went directly to the Des Moines police department.

The police department was in a state of confusion; Karen placed, put, shoved a microphone in the police chief’s face and demanded the answers to the following questions. Are you bringing in FBI Agents for this case? They didn’t for Johnny Gosch! Are you going to use canine search teams? They didn’t for Johnny Gosch! Will you do an aerial search? They wouldn’t for Johnny Gosch! The Police Chief had no comment about the Johnny Gosch case and stated the department would do everything in their power to solve the Martin kidnapping. The police went all out using FBI, SWAT Teams, Canine Searches, and Aerial searches but like Johnny, Eugene Martin was probably quickly taken out of the immediate search area. This case appeared to be a duplicate of Johnny’s kidnapping.



I expected the Des Moines Police Dept, to contact me and want to discuss the information I received from Sam Soda. Despite the fact that my information proved to be valid, the police never asked to listen to the tape. Sam Soda knew another boy was going to be kidnapped. Shouldn’t the police have asked how did Sam Soda know? Who did Sam Soda know? Did Sam Soda also have the information that would have solved or prevented this crime?



Sam Soda, began to contact the Des Moines Police telling them that Paul Bishop (my CIA contact) had been in Des Moines a short time before the Martin kidnapping and was somehow involved. Sam must have bent the ear of some influential people because shortly afterward a Federal Grand Jury Hearing was scheduled; Paul Bishop was subpoenaed to testify.

He returned one more time to Des Moines. Following the hearing, Paul took a taxi to my home. He had been questioned about Eugene Martin, what he was doing in Des Moines, who he talked to in Des Moines for over six hours. While he was sharing the details of the hearing; the phone rang a number of times. It was Sam Soda each time wanting to know if Paul Bishop was there. He became very agitated, when I told him Paul was not there. He claimed, he needed to talk with Paul and could not find him. We felt it best for Paul to change his travel plans, I made arrangements with friends for Paul to stay the night at their home. He flew back to Washington D.C. a couple of days later, under different name. I received two more phone calls from Paul in the following week that was to be the last time I saw or spoke with Paul. The phone number to call Paul at Langley Air Force Base was no longer working.

Shortly after that visit, Paul Bishop or Robert LaVeck vanished without a trace. What happened to Paul Bishop, we have never been able to discover. Paul used to call me “Mom.” He was a young person in his twenties and I sometimes wonder, had he been used in some manner by the very element that took my son? Was he sent here to share with me the threads of truth, which would unfold later? It was years before the CIA was revealed as a part of this problem of missing children in our country and the world.

209. I noticed that the new article of recent arrests
had the name "Bishop"... I FREAKED, because I read Mrs. Gosch's article yesterday, and recalled her referring to 'Paul Bishop' as the "CIA" guy.

When I went to this new article, I was relieved that it named a "George Bishop"....

BUT THEN, you posted part of Mrs. G's article, and in her first reference to Bishop, she calls him GEORGE PAUL BISHOP.

Now this is truuuuuly bizarre.

210. Egads, Andy...
The recent article says that "George Bishop" is 46.

My recollection of reading Mrs. Gosch's article was that "Paul Bishop" was quite young... perhaps around 20 or so. I remember wondering how a person so young could be "CIA".

241. Another possibility: Bishop could have been set up.
For example, I've read numerous instances of decent agents who didn't want to play along with the protected drug trade, who were set up to take the fall for crimes they hoped to expose. It takes them out, and discredits their word.

245. It crossed my mind, too. Could be that he conducts work
on pedophilia investigation, and this is part of the cover. Who knows?

Wonder whatever became of Sam Soda?

I'd be interested to know how Mrs. G was shown the photo of Bishop. Authorities? Andy?

280. unknown, perhaps
but (and let me state that I am only on post 179 so far) why are all these seemingly unrelated arrests and suicides happening at this time?


I was skeptical about the connection of Franklin/King and Gannongate, but found the Franklin story positively extraordinary, yesterday. Twenty four hours later, I am not so sure. Something is going on here.

Thanks and keep up the good work, people. This is beyond a doubt the most interesting thing I've read in the last four years, and that speaks VOLUMES.

283. Have you seen this information from a poster at a news site?
I can also confirm Mr. Evans is the teacher from Hayfield. It is 79/80 when "Pappy" (George Paul Bishop) and Mr. Evans meet. Bishop was in the Coast Guard at the time, stationed down the street from Hayfield High School.

Bishop was arrested between Sept 84 & Sept 85 in Alexandra for having sex with a 12 year old boy. The crime took place at Oak Wood apartments (Duke Street & Van Dorn). He fled to California (San Francisco or San Diego). He was hiding behind a marriage, saying he and his wife (Teresa) could not have children, and being a “big brother” to children of single mothers. He fled California after charges where filed there. Returned to VA, disappeared again, and apparently returned again.

159. Bush UN speech on slavery/sex trade, link here.
http://edition.cnn.com/2003/US/09/23/sprj.irq.bush.transcript/

There is another humanitarian crisis, spreading and yet hidden from view. Each year, an estimated eight to nine hundred thousand human beings are bought, sold, or forced across the world's borders. Among them are hundreds of thousands of teenage girls, and others as young as five, who fall victim to the sex trade. This commerce in human life generates billions of dollars each year, much of which is used to finance organized crime.

There is a special evil in the abuse and exploitation of the most innocent and vulnerable. The victims of sex trade see little of life before they see the very worst of life, an underworld of brutality and lonely fear. Those who create these victims, and profit from their suffering, must be severely punished. Those who patronize this industry debase themselves and deepen the misery of others. And governments that tolerate this trade are tolerating a form of slavery.

This problem has appeared in my own country, and we are working to stop it. The Protect Act, which I signed into law this year, makes it a crime for any person to enter the United States, or for any citizen to travel abroad for the purpose of sex tourism involving children. The Department of Justice is actively investigating sex tour operators and patrons, who can face up to 30 years in prison.

Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, the United States is using sanctions against governments to discourage human trafficking.

The victims of this industry also need help from other members of the United Nations. And this begins with clear standards and the certainty of punishment under the laws of every country. Today, some nations make it a crime to sexually abuse children abroad. Such conduct should be a crime in all nations. Governments should inform travelers of the harm this industry does, and the severe punishments that will fall on its patrons.

The American government is committing $50 million to support the good work of organizations that are rescuing women and children from exploitation, and giving them shelter, medical treatment, and the hope of a new life. I urge other governments to do their part.

We must show new energy in fighting back an old evil. Nearly two centuries after the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and more than a century after slavery was officially ended in its last strongholds, the trade in human beings for any purpose must not be allowed to thrive in our time.

All the challenges I have spoken of this morning require urgent attention and moral clarity: helping Afghanistan and Iraq to succeed as free nations in a transformed region, cutting off the avenues of proliferation, abolishing modern forms of slavery. These are the kinds of great tasks for which the United Nations was founded.

179. We only have his own info, I believe...
after the escort story broke, there were quite a few posts about how little there was about Guckert before this, researchers couldn't seem to find information about him prior to the setting up of the escort websites.

At this point, I tend to disregard anything Guckert has said as being the truth until separate and credible evidence is found to back up his version.

for posting personal info on the net. ie. his social security number. Does anyone know where that was posted? Maybe if it is out there, it can be a lead to finding out who he really is?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7011497/

He told the “New York times” he had taken legal action over some personal information posted on the Internet. No, no. He means his Social Security number.

comment from Olbermann to show how ridiculous the 'suing for political assination' and the ludicracy of saying public advertising oneself as an escort can be considered private.

190. I've been interviewing a survivor of mind control, Kathleen Sullivan,
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 12:04 PM by Minstrel Boy
for my blog, and I've posted the first part here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3158199#

A couple of questions that may have bearing on this stuff:

Have you had any contact, either as an alter or as a survivor, with perpetrators or victims of the "Franklin Cover-Up"?

I need to mention several things, before I answer this set of questions. First, I still have a lot of memory gaps and may never remember everywhere I’ve been, and everyone I’ve met. Second, a lot of the people who I met used aliases. Third, there are people mentioned in the book who it is not in my best interest to name; therefore, I will share information without giving their names. Fourth, there are some persons mentioned in the book who I will never name as individuals from my past. Unfortunately, after they die, they are often sainted. It’s a no-win situation for me to name them, alive or dead. Fifth, I did not live in Nebraska. I lived in Pennsylvania, then Maryland, then metro Atlanta, Georgia, with a 3-year stint in Chicago. Therefore, I probably never had a reason to meet the Nebraska locals. Finally, I need to mention that I will not go into further details beyond what I share below. Now for my answers:

1. One of my black op handlers was a PsyOps expert/lawsuit-happy “Satanist”/flaming pedophile mentioned in the book. That person later participated in revictimizing and terrorizing me during a group assault in 1997, after I had gone public during an interview as part of the CKLN radio series on mind control.

2. Although I have no memory of ever going to Boys Town, my maternal grandfather, who claimed to be OSS/CIA and was instrumental in involving me as a child in MKULTRA and beyond, took his annual “vacations” at Boys Town and often sent donations to them. I always thought it was strange that he went there for vacation; and I especially thought it strange that he sent them money, given that he was a very stingy and selfish man. Knowing what I know now, it makes sense - he was a pedophile.

3. A certain former, very high-ranking politician who also was connected in the past to the CIA was one of my primary “owners.” I performed a number of illegal activities for him, including assassinations. I also unfortunately couriered children, by air, to D.C. so that he could have at them. The children were instructed to call me “Aunt.” That politician was also a flaming pedophile and probably still is. It is definitely not in my best interest to publicly name him during this current political climate. Although he now keeps a lower profile, I still consider him to be an extremely dangerous.

4. I met and had some dealings with two former CIA Directors mentioned in the book. One Director was total pond scum. An especially secretive pedophile, he personally “gave” me as a “butterfly” for #3’s “collection” when I was an older teenager (this was probably an allusion to the code name for their mind-control slavery operation, “Project Monarch”) The other Director was refreshingly honest and I sincerely admired him. Although he knew what was going on, but never seemed happy about it. Unfortunately, he was later terminated.

5. The CIA goes without saying. Read my book for more information.

6. I was introduced to another very high-ranking politician who was mentioned in the book, albeit not as a perpetrator. The person who presented my free services to that man, who had just entered office, was a very corrupt, former high-ranking politician. The potential recipient had the moral rectitude to reject my services as a free assassin, but appeared to be compromised later by another sent-in slave whose training was more to his tastes.

7. My father, who was my primary mental programmer and tormentor, was big into the teachings and practices of Aleister Crowley. Dad incorporated them into his extremely gory, murderous occult rituals – particularly in the 60’s.

8. The George Town Club sounds VERY familiar – I was used at least one time in a similar building in the D.C. area that was used for the purposes mentioned in the book, to compromise and blackmail D.C. politicians. (Although my primary training was in black ops, I also had alter-states that were trained and used – from childhood on - to “sexually service” both males and females.)

9. I was exposed to a “NSC staff member” mentioned in the book. I knew him as a dangerous, totally sociopathic covert operative who definitely had no concern for human life and enjoyed raping female slaves in brutal ways. For that reason, I am amused by his altered public persona as a moral right-wing hero and political commentator.


You mention you heard George HW Bush referred to as the "webmeister." Can you tell me what you think that might mean? Did you hear his name in other contexts?

First of all, one of CIA insiders’ code-names for the Agency was “The Web.” Other Directors may have also been dubbed “webmeister,” but I only remember Bush Sr. being called it by CIA employees who were in the loop. There seemed to be several reasons why he was given the name:

1. The inclusion of the word “meister” (as opposed to “master”) alluded to his father’s business connections to Hitler, and the Director’s own alleged Aryan leanings.

2. I was told that Bush Sr. was unusually adept at using the Agency’s resources – the “threads” and “links” of the web – to further his personal goals. This included his making connections with many influential people, and utilizing information, that he would not have otherwise had access to. (My suspicion is that he has continued to home this particular skill since he left the CIA.) He seemed to be especially respected for this skill because he did it quietly and without fanfare, which continues to be one of his trademarks.

3. They also called him the “webmeister” because he was the head of the “Web.”

4. Individuals who were skilled in hypnotic mind control and mental programming were given the honorary title of “master.” For this reason, he was considered a “master” on more than one level.

194. Has anyone mentioned the kidnapping and murder Danny Joe Eberle?
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 01:03 PM by qanda
Danny, 13, was last seen alive on his paper route in Bellevue, Nebraska, early in the morning of September 18, 1983. His bicycle and newspapers were found inside the gate at the fourth house on his route, but Danny was gone. On September 21, his body was found in a roadside ditch. He was partially nude and had been tied at the ankles, bitten, and stabbed several times.

Serial killer John J. Joubert was arrested in January 1984 and confessed to killing Danny and another local boy, Christopher Walden. Forensic evidence also linked him to the 1982 murder of Richard Stetson in Joubert's hometown of Portland, Maine. He was sentenced to life for Richard's murder and death for the murders of Danny and Christopher, and was executed on July 17, 1996.

Don't know why I'm mentioning it, but it certainly is strange that it happened just a year after Johnny Gosch was kidnapped in a neighboring state.

On Edit: http://www.free-webspace.biz/thevictims/eberle_danny.html

Also: I did note the last name. Does anyone know anything about any Eberles in Nebraska?

198. This isn't anything new is it? Right from Free Republic
http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a396facc72f4d.htm

Thanks for the post. Disturbing material, but should be more widely reported.

One criticism: someone needs to check all the dates in the story. There are errors (such as 1983 rather than 1993?) that may cause confusion.

Here's an excerpt from Part IV, from a statement by former Larry King associate/photographer Rusty Nelson, that some Rs around here won't like:


"But on the grand scale was Mr. King's close ties with the national Republican party. I always wondered who all he had to blackmail and pull strings with so he could make his dream come true of singing the National Anthem to open the 1988 National Republican Convention...
That's right, he did. Partly a great deal of this was due to some extremely large amounts of money diverted from Franklin to the campaign war chest and more so the special invite sex and drug parties at King's home on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C. often after a normal party to serve as cover.

It was shocking to see who would show up behind closed doors afterwords to fulfill their fantasies and desires. It went all the way to the top! Regan , Bush, and yes, even hopeful Wannabe Baby Bush. The Secret Service would even go so far as to sweep and secure the house for them.

205. Photoshopped pics of Johnny Gosch
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 01:32 PM by nonny
These are 2 pictures that were age-enhanced. I just removed the hair.
Since the original pictures had hair covering the ears, I think that these ears are NOT his real ears.

What do you think?

232. is there any way to get gannons military records..or even see
if he actually was in the marines???

would we need his s.s. number..or is there another way??

maybe he was no threat to * when in military..but once out he may have been doing blackmail...
and how about the auto company he suposedly worked for..did anyone see him did anyone know him.,.does he have friends??

there is so much we do not know about him..
and i have asked this over and over...gannon said on msm that his mother and brother have been harrassed..has anyone seen anything on any web site or internet group where his s.s. number was given out ..or did anyone have his mothers name..how would anyone know how to contact his mother to harrass her?? or his brother...
is that another lie??

who could have found his mother to harrass her??


if anyone knows let me know!
i was online the saturday night and sunday morn with the writer from american blog..i never saw him mention gannons mother or brother..and he was one of the first to break the story open..so who knew who gannons mother was or is..or his brother??

i think it was a ploy to use his mother to make gannon and his so called family look like victims..

235. I have thought the "harrassment" claim was complete BS from the beginning.
I don't think ANY of us know who his family is. "Death threats"?? I seriously doubt it. It was an excuse for him to quit the scene.

Seems I've read most everything, and I have never seen his SS# posted. HOW whould any of us get his SS#??!!! What fool would post it? I call BS on that one, too.

238. Maybe the harassment is coming from the other side....
Gannon said that his family was being harassed, and everyone pushing the story was like... Huh? When? Who? Where?

Perhaps the harassment in his alternate world was coming from that world, from his own side to silence him and make him disappear before it went too far.

257. Was I involved in something like the Franklin Cover-Up?
(I also posted this in GenPol, but I thought I would post it in this relevant thread as well. I hope that's ok).

I'm relatively new to DU, and I feel selfish asking for some help on such a disturbing topic. However, my past issues with abuse have been so triggered by the recent DU Johnny Gosch/Franklin cover up discussions--I just felt compelled to throw out my situation and see if anyone can help.

So many of you have displayed amazing insight, sensitivity and wisdom into the Gosch/Franklin/Gannon situation. I am looking for suggestions about where I can turn--to find out what happened to me.

(If anyone has sexual abuse in their past, or if you're easily triggered by discussions of sexual abuse--this post may not be an easy read).

I am a survivor of sexual abuse. I'm highly functional and I have an amazing support system and a great therapist. He's diagnosed me with acute PTSD due to childhood trauma. I don't want pity. I feel really strong and lucky to have everything I do today. I consider myself a fortunate person.

Although I don't know exactly what happened to me, I have been slowly putting together the puzzle pieces since I entered therapy 4 years ago. I do know these things:

--I have always remembered my picture being taken--having sex with adults and with other children.
--I remember screaming at my father, "I don't want to do this anymore!" and crying I "don't like those people." He left me crying on the floor, returned to my room and said, "Do you want mommy and daddy to go to jail? Is that what you want? I can't get you out. Stop crying or we will go to jail." I was 8 when this happened.
--My father's friend, who was a police officer--was heavily involved in this. He was a "photographer" and he had lots of photographic equipment. I vaguely remember him taking the pictures. I distinctly remember asking him one time, "Why is this happening to me?" He replied, "We needed a cute, brunette little girl."
--I have flashbacks of having sex with the police officers oldest son, and pictures being taken. In my memories there are always many people, and lots of equipment in the room.
--I remember being taken from my bedroom, in the middle of the night. I vaguely remember being sexual with older men, but I don't know who.
--I was hospitalized 10 times, before the age of 12, for acute bladder infections that required overnight stays. Through the years, I've asked my mother, why I was hospitalized and she said, "Because your bladder was too small and it had to be stretched." I obtained my hospital records, which clearly stated that my bladder was of normal size, but they found damage to my urethra (a sign of sexual abuse).
--I remember acting out sexually with younger children--and using very vulgar sexual language. When I acted out with these children, I would say, "Ok, now you're supposed to do this...then I'm supposed to do this." One of the children, with which these things happened, told me that I said, <<<<warning trigger>>>> "I think you're supposed to put yourself in my mouth, until you go to the bathroom or something." Clearly, I learned this somewhere, but have barely any recollection of where I learned it.
--I have flashbacks of being injected with needles--by the policeman involved--and being sedated.
--I have serious memory blocks related to a traumatic incident, in which I was being screamed at for "telling." I was severely beaten, psychologically terrorized and I was thrown in a landfill and told I would be picked up with the garbage after I died. I always knew I was thrown in a landfill, but didn't know why. My foot hurt, sitting in the garbage--because I had stitches in it from stepping on a piece of glass a week prior. I checked with the hospital ER, where I received the stitches--to see if I came in with additional damage to my food--after the stitches were initially sewn in. They said they had no record of me even getting stitches and no ER record for me at all. I know I had stitches. It's been discussed in our family through the years, and I still have the scar. I called my former pediatrician's office to obtain records. I was informed there were no records because my records were housed in a warehouse that had been burned to the ground in the mid 1970's. I contacted my childhood urologist--the one who treated me for the bladder infections. He died in a car accident three years ago.
--I demonstrated serious signs of trauma as a child. I wet the bed until the day I left home, at age 18. I woke up every morning, panicked. All of this stuff stopped, the day I left home for college.

<<<triggers in this paragraph>>>
Two years ago, I confronted my father and asked him what in the heck happened to me. He denied any knowledge of anything. I accused him of sexually abusing me and he replied, "That's not MY style. Not MY style at all." I replied, "Dad, I remember having a penis in my mouth when I was a little girl and he replied, "Are you sure it was mine." Clearly, he has knowledge of something happening to me (since when is sex with a child "a style" and his "are you sure it was mine" remark indicates that he knew someone was abusing me).

Also, I was an adopted child. I don't know my birth parents. There are some odd things--that could be misunderstanding on my part. However, there are no pictures of me when I was an infant. I asked my mother about this (and maybe they do exist) and she snapped back, "Well! They exist!" I have never seen pictures of me when I was brought home from the hospital or when they first got me. That seems strange. Wouldn't you mark that significant occasion with a picture or something?

As far as my adoption, it was "handled through an attorney." When I asked my mother about contacting the attorney or doctor who delivered me for information, my mother said they were both dead. I thought it was strange that my adoption was through an attorney--but my sister was adopted through Catholic Charities. I have no knowledge of how this adoption was arranged. I noticed on my adoption papers that my birth date is a day off from the date on my birth certificate. Maybe it's an honest mistake. I don't know. The adoption papers are typed on crinkly, transparent paper. They are not on letterhead or anything.

During the past three years, I've attempted to find answers. After a year of therapy, I felt strong enough to contact law enforcement. I mainly wondered if anyone suspected my father or the cop of anything. I was hoping I might find that I wasn't the only survivor out there. I called our local US Postal Inspector's office--because I heard they handled child pornography issues. The Postal Inspector investigator asked me to share a bit of my story. I shared most of what I remembered and he asked if he could interview me in my home and get childhood pictures of me. He said he might recognize me, because they deal with images of many children who have been abused in the past. I agreed and he interviewed me. He was kind and very professional. I gave him pictures. He wanted me to name names, and even though I was scared to death--I agreed and I gave him my father's name and the name of the police officer.

Three weeks went by. I called back the investigator back and thanked him for listening and for being helpful. I asked him if he could let me know if everything was ok--because I was having a very rough time after "telling." A lot of fear was kicking in. I didn't hear anything back. I called back once a month for several months, and politely asked if he would call me. I never heard back from him again. I felt as if I had done something wrong by reporting.

I also ended up at our local police department one day, because I was feeling incredibly vulnerable and frightened. I drove there and just sat in the parking lot--I guess, to feel safe. An officer saw me crying and I agreed to go inside. I told him my entire story and he was absolutely amazing. He said he understood trauma and how it affects children and he said he believed me. I didn't tell him my name, but he referred me to the head of the childhood sex crimes unit in his dept. I called and the dept head told me there was nothing they could do. He said my story, although tragic, wasn't even enough to get a search warrant on the police officer who abused me. Another dead end. (Also, I don't know if this is important, but the Police Dept is the same one that Johnny Gosch's mom had so much trouble with). I live in the same city that JG is from.

Finally, several months ago, I called the police dept in my childhood hometown; the dept where the officer who molested me, worked. I spoke with another top-notch officer who urged me to name names. I told him I would consider it, but I was grappling with panic attacks and other PTSD symptoms and I wasn't sure I was ready. He validated my experience and he said, "You are relaying exactly what survivors of child porn/child sex rings experience--right down to the threats your father used." I told this cop I wanted to go outside the system and find out what happened to me--because I didn't want the abusive cop to know I was digging around. I told him I wanted to contact people who had been convicted of looking at child porn--and show them my childhood pictures to see if anyone recognized me. The officer urged me not to do that. He said, "You have many missing memories and they're missing for a reason. If you go digging around in this seedy, awful underworld--you may be unprepared for what you find and I caution you." I trusted this officer and I was just about to give up named. All of a sudden, I felt like someone was choking me. I could barely breath. I couldn't speak and I told the officer I had a cough and I had to go. I felt like I was going to die. I was panicked and I felt as if someone had their hands around my neck. I looked in the mirror and I had a bloody nose and I had broken out in hives.

I feel as if I don't know where to turn. I'm trapped between fear of telling and wanting to find out what in the heck happened to me. My father will not divulge info. After I confronted him, he sought guidance from his priest (he's a staunch Catholic). My father positioned himself as the victim. A family member told me that my father moped around the house for days after I confronted him, "She's ruined my life. I'm so depressed." Apparently he had no regard for me, but a great deal for himself. The priest advised my father, "Sometimes you just have to let people go."

Never mind, that my father had an affair with a 16-year old employee of his--when he was 35--or that my mother had a nervous breakdown when I was 18 (and she has no recollection of why) or that my siblings show obvious signs of trauma. One sister has bulimia so severe, that all teeth had to be pulled. My parents do and say nothing about it. Another sibling made a suicide attempt. The police officer's children are all drug addicted or alcoholics. One of them has an eating disorder and a few have been in jail. I want to contact them, but I'm scared.

I'm sorry this is so incredibly long. It's difficult to know what--and what not--to say. I feel very compelled to find out answers.

I just want to know what happened to me. I'm not saying I was involved in the Franklin Cover-Up--but maybe the abuse I endured mirrors many of the ritualistic and sadistic methods used by those who perpetrated the Franklin Cover Up.

Does anyone have any ideas on where I go to find out what happened to me?

Thank you for reading--if anyone got this far. I appreciate any input or suggestions. Please don't worry about me. I know this all sounds awful, and it was. However, I'm very strong and they did not break me. What happened is in the past and I have a wonderful life. My therapist says that only the strongest move on to deal with and process the pain, and I firmly believe that.

Thanks, everyone.

282. I did check...
...the Center for Missing and Exploited Kids.

There's a site where you can input names. I searched under my given name and my adopted name. No luck.

It's a good suggestion though.

I don't know if I was abducted. It feels shady, but I could be reacting to all of the shady stuff that went on. It's difficult to process the notion that a couple would go out of their way to adopt a child--then do these things. It's surreal.

Thanks for your support. :)

After confronting my father, my mother called up my sisters and asked them if my father sexually abused them. My brother told me that they didn't answer right away and weren't very forthcoming about a definite "yes" or "no."

My other sister said she has no memory of her childhood. Not one memory before the age of 12. My brother said he has no memory of abuse.

All of them show severe signs of trauma.

Unfortunately, I haven't spoken to my sisters since I confronted. My brother and I remain close and he's made it clear that he believes me.

My father has a pretty firm grip on everyone in the household. I am the enemy now. I imagine they feel pressure not to communicate with me.

Thanks for your kinds words. :)

289. Thanks Andy...
...you are very sensitive and kind.

Yes, the shame and despair is very real. I think I buried a great deal of the shame--because so much of it is centered around my participation in this stuff. I know what I was like as a child--I was extremely outgoing and fearless. I probably thought it was a game and I sense that I complied to keep myself safe. I imagine there's a lot of shame and guilt...and I constantly have to remind myself that I didn't ask for this. I may have adapted in ways that looked compliant--but I did that to survive.

Also--I do sense that I am stronger than these thugs. I sense their own damage. I think that's why I "told" on them. I understood, even as a child, that something wasn't right.

These people are victims who never got help. They're the weakest of the weak--attempting to obtain power from helpless children.

Again, thanks Andy.

Those statements right there are the reason you survive and even thrive ! You are strong, you are stronger by far than the ones who tried to destroy you.
I was a child of sexual and physical abuse too not to the terrible extremes put onto you though. Weak or Tough that had to be my choice.:hug:

:hug: Your story breaks my heart. No child should ever have to go through what you have been through.

Your story sounds like you could have been a part of the Franklin Case.

Since the police dept. you went to is the same one that handled the Gosch investigation, I would say they are not going to help you. Some of them were probably involved in the Franklin cover up. Have you thought about maybe contacting Mrs. Gosch? She has many, many connections to people who may be able to help you. Maybe she could give you some names of people she trusts?

eerily similar to my mother's reaction when I told her I had been abused by her father.

no emotional reaction whatsoever.

just "well you are lucky he didn't rape you."

(i'm not sure he didn't, was probably also sedated, and have been told by a doctor that I am scarred internally.)

It's great that you are having the courage to come forward and try to get justice. My perp is dead, but I have awful flashbacks that I can't explain, and where I don't know where I am.

Peace.

316. Re: your adoption
Have you checked in the District Clerk's office of the county where you were adopted? If there really was an adoption through an attorney, there should have been paperwork filed in district court. States differ on what kind of information they will release, but you should at least be able to find out if there was a suit and what the case number is. I worked in a county records office and that was all the information we could release. The person seeking their adoptive parents would then have to file a petition with a district judge, asking that their case be unsealed. (This was in TX).

My thoughts are with you. I hope that you will find all the answers you need and that your spirit will heal completely.

318. Here are a couple of ideas for where you can turn:
North American Freedom Foundation (NAFF)
"Advocating for U.S. and Canadian victims and survivors of mind control, torture, slavery, and related terror, through education and remembrance"
http://naffoundation.org/
There is an emergency contact number listed. This organization was founded by Kathleen Sullivan, a survivor of ritual abuse, whom I interview on my blog today. It may help as well for you to look at her personal site: http://www.kathleen-sullivan.com

Persons against Ritual Abuse-Torture
http://www.ritualabusetorture.org/
“We are speaking the unspeakable; because, without reality there is no truth, and without truth how can there be healing?”

314. Here is an interesting connection. Don't know what it means, if anything.
We all know that Gannon/Guckert received his "journalistic" training from the Leadership Institute. In the Washington Times article about the D.C. call-boys scandal (6/30/89), Morton Blackwell (president of the Leadership Institute) is quoted in the article:
'"I had no idea such stuff was going on," said Morton Blackwell, president of The Leadership Institute, which gives political training to young Republicans.

"I think it is time to sit down and write a paper for young conservatives who are washed over by all of this propaganda saying some people are naturally, genetically irresistably inclined to this kind of (homosexual) behavior," Mr. Blackwell said.

"We Republicans stand for traditional values and cannot continue to stand if we fall significantly away from them," he said.'

Don't shoot me because this link is from FR - they scanned in the Washington Times articles and it was just easier for me to read the whole sordid series at this link from the previous DU thread on the matter. http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a388cd49f5ce8.htm

Blackwell's comment about "traditional" values did amuse me in relation to his training Guckert, though.

320. Where's Larry King now? Because I just learned
a Larry King is now executive editor of the Omaha World-Herald:
http://www.nebraskaprsa.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=59

FYI, Harold Andersen, the former publisher, was a close associate of King, and was named in the Franklin Cover-Up, and the paper waged a character assassination campaign against John DeCamp.

324. photoshop work with pics at hand...
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 08:46 PM by TrustingDog


can't remember who did the hair thing on the left pic, but seeing as this thread is so long I won't go back and look, but thank you!

I used that one, flopped it, scaled and rotated all to approx same and contrasted, etc to get a more 'even' colour between the all.

all the eyes are on the same horizontal.
The eyes and nose seem to be quite similar, imo.

on edit:
I'm either locked or suspended from village photo, so they say. gak!
This worries me, cuz the only things I put up there are political stuff not very flattering to the admin. paranoia, will destroya!

can we PM .jpgs attachments here?
