Public acknowledgment of my own cause, case, or history, whichever you prefer, is impacted by the effects of Mr. Bryant’s incredible book. As a result, I get too emotional and have difficulty writing a coherent description of it.
The Franklin Scandal by Nick Bryant
The Franklin Scandal refers to a child trafficking ring discovered during the course of the Nebraska State Senate’s investigation of the so-named failed Savings and Loan during the 1980′s. Journalist Nick Bryant spent 7 years investigating the scandal, parsing out its legitimate aspects through multiple witness corroboration and extensive documentation from private and public records. His resulting work firmly moves Franklin from the realm of theory into a provable account of elite political use of children for sexual and blackmail purposes. It is no wonder he is facing great difficulty bringing it to the general public’s attention.
That’s the best I can do for a synopsis.
I’m editing this post from this point on to substitute a rather basic appeal. Please consider ordering Nick’s book. Here are 3 sources:

Here’s the appeal from Sander Hicks:
You can do something, right now, to help rip the lid off the cover-up of one of the biggest child sex abuse scandals, EVER.
It’s a huge, creepy story, and people died in the cover up.
My friend Nick Bryant just pulled off the impossible, and published an authoritative book on this, called “The Franklin Scandal.” (Trine Day, 2009 http://franklinscandal.com). He took a lot of heat to get this book out. Now he needs your help.
The GOP’s Lawrence King was never prosecuted for sex abuse. Nick and I just found out that King’s still active in the DC Suburbs, publicly speaking at after school programs at the Granville Academy! We were apoplectic!
Yet, progressive media leaders tell Nick they lack “the fortitude” to publish about this in their magazines.
Nancy Grace has a show on CNN, and she focuses on child sex abuse. Perfect. Let’s get Nick and the Franklin Scandal story on her show.
YOU CAN JOIN THE DISCUSSION, and vote against the cover up. Please post a word of support for coverage of this important new book, The Franklin Scandal. Please put it into your own words, speak from the heart, and be positive.

Then, please spread the message far and wide to friends and associates through email, social networks, and word of mouth.
Alternately, please consider contacting Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! and encourage her to have Nick on her show.
