Jeffrey Epstein is not the first, he's just the highest profile and the latest (to get caught). "Conspiracy of Silence ('93) is a powerful, disturbing Discovery Channel documentary revealing a child sex abuse ring that reaches to the highest levels of United States government. Featuring intrepid investigator John DeCamp, a highly decorated Vietnam war veteran and 16-year Nebraska state senator, Conspiracy of Silence reveals how rogue elements at all levels of government have been involved in systematic child sex abuse and pedophilia to feed the base desires of key politicians. Based on DeCamp's riveting book, The Franklin Cover-up, Conspiracy of Silence begins with the shut-down of Nebraska's Franklin Community Federal Credit Union after a raid by federal agencies in 1988 revealed that $40 million was missing. Rising Republican star Larry King, who founded the Franklin credit union, was at the center of the scandal, as reported in this Washington Post article. When the Nebraska legislature launched a probe into the affair, what initially looked like a financial swindle soon exploded into a startling tale of drugs, money laundering, and a nationwide child sex abuse ring, as reported in this 1988 New York Times article and this one. 19 months later, the legislative committee's chief investigator on the case, Gary Caradori, was killed in a strange private plane crash. A dozen others linked to the Franklin case died strange and mysterious deaths. So why have you never heard of the Franklin cover-up? Originally scheduled to air in May of 1994 on the Discovery Channel, Conspiracy of Silence is believed to have been yanked at the last minute due to formidable pressure applied by certain top politicians. And all copies of this work were ordered to be destroyed. Some very powerful people did not want you to watch this documentary. Yet thanks to a courageous insider who saved a rough, early version of this most important film, you can view this eye-opening documentary"
