The shut-down of Omaha, Nebraska's Franklin Community Federal Credit Union, raided by federal agencies in November 1988, sent shock waves all the way to Washington, D.C. $40 million was missing. The credit union's manager: Republican Party activist Lawrence E. "Larry" King, Jr., behind whose rise to fame and riches stood powerful figures in Nebraska politics and business, and in the nation's capital. In the face of opposition from local and state law enforcement, from the FBI, and from the powerful Omaha World-Herald newspaper, a special Franklin committee of the Nebraska Legislature launched its own probe. What looked like a financial swindle, soon exploded into a hideous tale of drugs, Iran-Contra money-laundering, a nationwide child abuse ring, and ritual murder. Nineteen months later, the legislative committee's chief investigator died - suddenly, and violently, like more than a dozen other people linked to the Franklin case. Author John DeCamp knows the Franklin scandal from the inside. In 1990, his "DeCamp memo" first publicly named the alleged high-ranking abusers. Today, he is attorney for two of the abuse victims. Using documentation never before made public, DeCamp lays bare not only the crimes, but the cover-up - a textbook case of how dangerous the corruption of institutions of government, and the press, can be. In its sweep and in what it portends for the nation, the Franklin cover-up followed the ugly precedent of the Warren Commission.

Much Gratitude to Mr. DeCamp for Not Letting This Information Die

June 27, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Mr. DeCamp is one among a few who decided not to participate in the cover-up. What was going on throughout the 80's and 90's in Nebraska, across America, and beyond is appalling. Once you know about the extent of the complex human trafficking ring, you cannot un-know it. Most decent humans can't shut up about it at that point. Just as complex was the cover-up that followed a national outing of what was really going on at Franklin Credit Union and who was involved.

John DeCamp names the names. He talks to the people that need to be talked to, and the result is the most complete and thorough documentation of what happened in Nebraska and beyond. If you want to truly understand the evil underbelly of America and the things that are hidden in plain sight and just under the surface, you must read this book. You will never see things the same again.

This is extremely important subject matter. We owe this author John DeCamp a debt of gratitude for his courage and perseverance in writing this difficult book. If you are someone who strays from dark subject matter, I don't recommend it. But to those who want to know truth in order to make a difference in the world, it's a must read.

Note the SUBTITLE: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska

January 14, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

It takes a courageous person to write a courageous book. Senator John W. DeCamp was just such a person. DeCamp, a personal friend of CIA Director Bill Colby, could have taken the easy way out and ignored the pedophile ring that he unearthed in Omaha, Nebraska. He could have turned a blind eye to injustice and let the men in power get away with sexually abusing and in some cases even killing their prey. But, being a savvy lawyer and a decorated Vietnam vet, he couldn't be passive. So DeCamp put it on the record, not once but twice.

The Franklin Cover-up isn't easy to stomach. Indeed, when you finish the book you have two choices: (1) pretend it didn't happen and let the rich and the famous continue to prey on the young and the innocent or (2) get hopping mad and do something to protect the most vulnerable in our society.

Probably one of the most disturbing books I have read, but very necessary to understanding the present events going on in our country. Having the perspective of 2016 to look back at this period, it is easy to see how we have descended into darker and darker times. Truly 'we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.' May God deliver us from evil.

If you want evidence, this book has evidence!

August 8, 2015

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

Before I bought this book, I took some time to read through other Amazon customer reviews. I wanted to make sure my review was unique. I appreciate everyone's comment regarding John DeCamp's book. This is essential reading if you consider yourself an American Patriot. It's essential reading if you love America and you don't want to see her go further and further down the drain. This book had to hold back some punches because of the law's the Author is bound too. Based on his limitations, he has helped bring light into a nest of vipers. This book made me angry, sick to my stomach, and much more it was a call to do something. The end of the book with DeCamp's conversations with Bill Colby offer what to do. The evidence John DeCamp could present will make you think. What else is being hidden to preserve "the system"? I can only speculate a staggering amount of information. For the skeptics and debunkers, I've already seen your reaction *yawn*. Unfortunately, this isn't a conspiracy theory but the documentation proves that true evil secretly runs D.C. and the world. If you buy this book, take the time to read it closely and check your disbelief at the door before you crack the cover. It will also help you understand why militarization of law enforcement (local, State, and Federal) is a very bad current and growing practice in our cities, towns, and States. Read about the slaughter of Gordon Kahl. Get another view point on the Militia and patriot movements in this country. Fellow subscriber, you do yourself no favors by only reading the newspaper or watching the evening news. Your neighbors, family, and friends don't have all the answers either. DeCamp illustrates how the media can be your best buddy and worst enemy in the same breathe. He also shows how most journalist go along with the crowd or have no guts to find and report the truth to the public. I've learned with hard core Debunkers and skeptics there will never be enough evidence to coax them out of their world of denial. This book should scare the hell out of a debunker or skeptic. For a truth seeker, it may ask more questions than answer.

Buy this book. Reader beware this is truly how powerful people operate. Just because someone has money doesn't mean they are honest, pillars of the community. This book proves they tend to be the lowest form of life you can find. John DeCamp keep writing. I hope you don't you meet with any accidents. I hope you live to fully expose this case for the American public, and for the world. Thank you for your courage and service to this country.

Child Abuse, Satanism and Murder

July 18, 2018

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

A thoroughly disturbing, well-documented piece from an individual intimately familiar with the subject, "The Franklin Cover-Up" details the bizarre revelations from a seemingly routine investigation into the bankruptcy of the Franklin Credit Union in the late 1980s, and the subsequent inquiries that exposed greed, corruption and depravity at various levels of the government and prominent corporations. What started out as a probe into the director of the credit union turned into a scandal that shook the sensibilities of a community, left several people dead and ruined the lives of the children who came forth with accounts of sex-slavery, drug trafficking, Satanic rituals, abuse and murder.

A veteran of the Vietnam War, the author is not shy about naming names. And the conduct of many of the named individuals in the book will shock the reader. Some of the prominent politicians, local officials and businessmen in the book are accused merely of petty politicking; others are associated with much worse. Much of the documentation comes in the form of official state legislative hearings, grand jury testimonies, local media coverage and personal accounts from the author, himself a state legislator. This is the biggest scandal that practically nobody in America knows about.

A warning to the reader: the contents of the book are disturbing to say the least.
