The Franklin child prostitution ring allegations began in June 1988 in Omaha, Nebraska and attracted significant public and political interest until late 1990, when separate state and federal grand juries concluded that the allegations were unfounded and the ring was a “carefully crafted hoax.”

Any time a grand jury bounces a case, that’s an enormous red flag.

The saying is any decent prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. There is no representation from the defense – you can just put up whatever you want uncontested.

Discovery Channel produced a documentary on the scandal called Conspiracy of Silence that explored a potential cover-up, but the documentary’s release was abruptly canceled shortly before it was scheduled to air.

Canceled but not destroyed and still available

CW: I’d say it’s as bad as you think but it’s probably worse Here it is

I haven’t watched it in like a year or so since I first found this rabbit hole but I don’t feel like watching it again, I already hate :amerikkka: about as much as I can which will somehow be surpassed the next time I find out about something like this

Well, I mean, of course. Because it was debunked. Can’t have Discovery out there peddling Fake News.

I was listening to the recent TrueAnon episode about this nodding my head along to everything and then the interviewee starts talking about CIA mind control tech causing schizophrenia if the mind control victims don’t get their mind control refreshed regularly

Was it after he talked about dissociative identity disorder?

Oh yeah, it was DID, not schizophrenia. Kinda tuned out at that point

:what-the-hell:

that’s a really wild suggestion since DID comes from childhood trauma

the way the media treats DID really has given people really weird perspectives on it, it’s very cool

I’m listening to that episode currently. Nick said that some children who were involved in abusive government research would develop DID, which would in turn make them more susceptible to hypnosis. It sounded plausible to me. I didn’t hear anything about getting mind control refreshed although I still have thirty minutes left in the episode.

How familiar are you with MKULTRA? They absolutely tried a bunch of wild shit. The TrueAnon episode with Lisa Pease left a lot of listeners similarly skeptical because it dealt with mind control and hypnosis, but I think she was right.

Can we make a fact checking site for politifact? Not only would it be good agitprop, it would also make libs foam at the mouth
