Nick Gray's CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE

"In 1993, a film crew from Yorkshire Television in the U.K. led by producer Nick Gray and director Tim Tate went to Omaha, Nebraska in the U.S.A. to make a documentary about an alleged paedophile ring.

"Funded by the Discovery Channel in the U.S.A., their proposed film would first be broadcast in the U.K. and Ireland as part of Yorkshire Television documentary series: 'First Tuesday'. A U.S. broadcast would follow.

"In Omaha the film crew discovered the machinations of a vast operation functioning throughout the country providing children to the wealthy and the political establishment for molestation, drug trafficking and blackmail.

"A year later in 1994 the documentary 'Conspiracy of Silence' was to air in the U.K. but--during final editing with first broadcast approaching--the Discovery Channel inexplicably withdrew support and reimbursed Yorkshire Television the half million dollars it cost to make.

"To this day the documentary remains 'unaired.'"

As a bonus, here are two related excerpts from my 2022 book, OPERATION MINDFUCK: QANON & THE CULT OF DONALD TRUMP:

“ADRENOCHROME — Those Who Know Cannot Sleep” is a nearly fifteen-minute video that contains almost no facts whatsoever. It’s as if someone read and reread John W. DeCamp’s 1992 True Crime book The Franklin Cover-Up, which revolves around reportage about an alleged pedophile ring operated by prominent Republicans like Nebraska businessman Lawrence E. King Jr. (a crime ring that reportedly overlapped with Iran-Contra money-laundering schemes operating out of the Reagan-Bush White House), and decided to toss these scandalous rumors into a giant blender mixed with 100% pure gonzo jabberwocky — but this time around, Democrats are now the evil, moustache-twirling villains at the center of the soap opera. As with so many of Q’s claims, elements of past conspiracy theories have been distorted and flipped, always in favor of Republicans. Any allegations that reflect badly on Republicans are conveniently left out of the retelling [...].

One of the most controversial aspects of The Glass House Tapes was [Louis] Tackwood’s claim that the Los Angeles Police Department, in concert with various U.S. intelligence agencies, were using satanic cults in California for the purposes of blackmailing and brainwashing high-profile initiates. I find it ironic that this scenario has now been embraced by the right wing, when back in the early 1970s the only people talking about this were far-left radicals like the members of the Citizens Research and Investigation Committee, with whom Tackwood collaborated on The Glass House Tapes. Subsequent nonfiction books like Walter Bowart’s 1978 Operation Mind Control, Maury Terry’s 1987 The Ultimate Evil and John W. DeCamp’s aforementioned 1992 The Franklin Cover-Up explore similar themes in far greater depth...
