In his book “The Franklin Cover-Up,” John DeCamp implicates Harold Andersen, owner/publisher of the Omaha World-Herald. DeCamp’s young victim witnesses identifier Andersen as a pedo-rapist, particularly of young boys. The World-Herald society columnist, Peter Citron, was also identified as a pedo-rapist of young boys. Peter Citron was later convicted of child molestation in an unrelated incident. [1]
Cont. – he paid $5,000 a month to occupy a palazzo on California Street, next to the Venezuelan Embassy. A federal jury this summer will decide whether King, 45, is guilty as charged of looting $38 million from the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union in a predominantly black neighborhood of north Omaha. But it isn’t Larry King’s finances that have Nebraska in a Great Plains pother. Last week, a county grand jury, under the direction of a special prosecutor, began sifting through allegations tying King to a child prostitution and exploitation ring that reputedly catered to some of Omaha’s most respected burghers. Those implicated — in this city’s venomous rumor mill if nowhere else — include businessmen, media personalities, lawmen and educators. “We’ve got a firestorm of suspicion and rumors of hurricane force,” said James Martin Davis, a former Secret Service agent who is now an attorney here. “And if it doesn’t stop, Omaha is going to gossip itself to death.” Moreover, King’s high profile in the GOP has “got the Republican Party here as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs,” added former state senator John DeCamp, a Republican. King has pleaded not guilty to 40 counts of embezzlement and fraud. The sexual allegations, which he has denounced as “garbage,” are based on still unverified reports from half a dozen young people who reportedly have described being auctioned like love slaves, flown to the coasts for wild parties, or plied with drugs and alcohol as part of a bisexual bacchanal.
Peter Citron “committed suicide” after he was released from prison. The World-Herald published articles denouncing the testimony of the young victim witnesses during the Franklin pedo-trafficking investigation. [2]
Nebraska’s largest newspaper, the Omaha World-Herald, actively participated in the pedo-satanic child trafficking ring cover-up at the direction of its owner. In 2011, World-Herald sold its stake in Omaha company Election Systems & Software, the country’s largest manufacturer of voting machines. [3]
World-Herald had owned a stake in Election Systems & Software and its predecessor companies for 25 years. Consider the implications. Omaha World-Herald, a news company deeply involved in a pedo-satanic child trafficking ring, OWNED A PIECE OF A COMPANY THAT MAKES VOTING MACHINES while the ring was ongoing. From a 2004 article Chuck Hagel was CEO of the voting machine company before he left to run for Senate. The company was part owned by World-Herald, deeply involved in the Franklin cover-up. [4]
A Republican Count?
About half of the largest ballot-counting corporation, Election Systems & Software (ES&S), is owned by the Omaha World-Herald Company, which publishes the city’s conservative daily newspaper. About half of the largest ballot-counting corporation, Election Systems & Software (ES&S), is owned by the Omaha World-Herald Company, which publishes the city’s conservative daily newspaper, and about a fourth is owned by the McCarthy Group, an Omaha investment fund that is identified with Republican causes.
John Gottschalk, publisher of the World-Herald, recruited Chuck Hagel into American Information Systems (AIS), an Omaha-based vote-counting company. Hagel worked there five years, eventually becoming CEO and part owner. In 1995 Hagel resigned to run for the Senate from Nebraska, where AIS would be counting the votes in his election contest. A Gallup/World-Herald poll the Sunday before the voting showed Hagel and his Democratic opponent in a 47-47 dead heat. Hagel won two days later by a fourteen-point spread. Easily re-elected in 2002, Hagel is a likely GOP candidate for President in 2008.
This blog insinuates that Larry King stole $40 million from Franklin. A group led by Herman Cain purchased Godfathers Pizza for $40 million one year after the FBI raided Franklin. The blog insinuates that the stolen money was laundered through the purchase of the Godfathers Pizza chain. While the timing of that purchase if suspect, it does not constitute proof as far as I’m concerned. Also suspect is how pizza comes up wherever you look. Sheesh! [5]
Thursday, July 07, 2011 Does Herman Cain Have A $40 Million Problem? One That Could, As They Say, Come Out? Herman Cain wasn’t just the former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and he wasn’t just the Godfather’s Pizza guy either. A confidential DWT informant wrote the following guest post for us:
Two black Republicans walk into a restaurant… in Omaha… in 1986… could be either of their joints. They both are in the restaurant biz. One of them sang for two presidents. The other wants to be president. Well, maybe they’ve never been in each other’s restaurants and even though they both would gain notoriety for their banking skills, maybe they have never traded one thin dime. But Omaha is a great big small town…
In Herman Cain lore, the man singlehandedly saved Burger King (and it still takes two hands for Chuck Norris to handle a Whopper!), and so impressed were the powers that be at Pilsbury that they made Cain head doughboy in charge of the faltering Godfather’s pPizza chain. Cain was able (sorry) to turn Godfather’s around in 14 months! So wildly profitable, goes the yarn, that Pilsbury sold the chain. (Scoobie say, “hhhrrrrrunnnnhhh???”) You don’t often see the name of the buyers in this tale of food and glory, but it was a group of manager-investors lead by one… Herman Cain.
Godfather’s was a mess, but not on the brink of bankruptcy. Still, the mission statement on their website declares that they aim “To profitably provide consistently good food and great service.” Now, I personally wouldn’t target “profitability” as Job 1 on my customer-accessible website along with toppings and coupons, but I digress. Anyway, the truth is that Godfather’s was only on the brink of not being worth Pilsbury’s time, and it stayed that way for two years under Cain. Then they sold it to him and his investor friends for a rather curious sum (more on that later).
Who were these investors who had money for the slice? This was 1988, and restaurants were and remain dodgy investments, especially when a huge food conglomerate is giving them a vote of no confidence. When adjusted for inflation, Cain’s long reign over Godfather’s saw a 46% drop in profits and Godfather’s went from the 5th to the 11th ranked pizza chain in the United States (which explains that mission statement, all campaign rhetoric aside).
Omaha is tornado country, so when I say it’s a great big small town, I’m talking acreage versus gossipy connectivity. It’s flat and spread out with few tall buildings, but everyone is a whisper away from everyone else’s business. It’s not so big as to be home to two up-and-coming black Republicans with strong ties with the bigwigs in the Republican Party who could never cross paths. Restaurant people of all colors make it a point to know each other. To know what secrets wandering waiters and chefs may have taken with them as they move from job to job, etc… Wealthy Republicans are an even tighter clique. Wealthy black Republican restaurateurs in Omaha Nebraska in the late ’80s were more likely to have been twins than not to have social if not business ties.
Lawrence E. King was a fixture in the Omaha black community. He had seen his opportunity gathering up black folks’ money in a credit union known as the Franklin Credit Union, which he’d taken over in 1970. By 1976 there where whispers about this 300-pound socialite living large. There were minor stabs at investigating him, but the police did not want to be seen as the big bad white guys picking on the little ol’ great big black man.
Tales of King entertaining guests with cocaine, hookers and hustlers were pervasive, but Omaha has some strange code of silence. It had been for many years a sort of mob neutral zone. “Tony might whack Vinnie in Chicago,” but in Omaha their kids and wives would peacefully shop, play and picnic together. Drawing attention is not acceptable. Bush flew to Omaha on 9/11 in a very standard emergency protocol, and not one in ten Americans ever knew. Lily Tomlin and her partner Jane Wagner were a known couple around “The Big O” long before Lily came out. Omaha had lots of stories and still does, but none of them are news.
King– who had been recruited by the RNC to get out the black Republican vote– in his rise through the Republican ranks, was able to be the sum of their black best friends, as it were. He sang the national anthem at the 1984 and 1988 Republican conventions. In 1986, the Franklin Federal Credit Union moved into brand-new digs that also served as headquarters for King’s burgeoning catering and food-service empire. King began making donations to the Omaha Press Club, the Republican Party and even gay rights organizations (especially those funding area youth programs). Upon being told he had no style by a ten-year-old boy, he went shopping and became a clothes junkie, big-time– thus earning the nickname “Reverend Alice.” People really began talking. Franklin Federal Credit Union seemed to be all right until an audit of King’s taxes revealed what appeared to be some missing funds. A phony “certificates of deposit” scheme. Initially it was thought that $400,000 had disappeared. Then $4 million. Ultimately $40 million was determined to have vanished.
The FBI raid of the credit union sparked rumors that drugs and child pornography were discovered in the lower levels of the facility. It had been whispered that King had used the basement of the credit union as a “waiter academy” to train young men (twinks and blinks) in the fine art of waiting tables for what was hopefully to become his restaurant empire. In an Omaha World Herald interview, he spoke about how he wanted his places to be real elegant; the waiters would wear white dinner jackets. But King’s deeper desires were rumored to be something quite different.
There was a lot of recruiting going on for guys to come be part of King’s catering business. Many teens and young men talked of being expected to “put out,” and rumors of pornographic video shoots circulated in the gay and black communities. After the raid there was an investigation into what had become of the missing funds. Eventually a private investigator was hired by the state legislature to look into stories of an international child prostitution ring. He interviewed dozens of waiters and folks around Omaha who had been curious about King’s lavish gifts and extravagant ways. But things seemed tempered by the fact that King hung out with presidents, and area journalists. And owned a bank, and a sushi bar and…
The investigator is said to have flown to Chicago to meet with a person who had damning photographic evidence as to what was going on in the bowels of Franklin. That investigator never made it back to Omaha. His plane mysteriously blew up on the return flight. Primary witnesses suddenly changed their stories, and those who did not were convicted of perjury. One rent boy who testified that he was farmed out to several closeted power brokers in and around Omaha died mysteriously in New Mexico.
King was convicted of bank fraud and served nearly 10 out of the 15 years to which he was sentenced, but the grand jury concluded that all of the salacious allegations were merely “a big hoax” (wtf!). These allegations included supplying children for satanic blood rituals in Spain and supplying teens to a sex party in Washington, D.C., where some of those teens claimed they saw George W. Bush in attendance.
The story is larger and dirtier than what is within the scope of a DWT guest blog, and in fact was the subject of a Discovery Channel investigative report. Alas, that program was “purchased” a week before it was to air by some anonymous party…
Everybody in Omaha knew about this story, and everybody knew somebody connected to it. I almost opened an account in Franklin, until a friend who worked there told me not to put my money in “the booty bank.”
So what happened to the $40 million that King ripped off from the Franklin Federal Credit Union? It’s not very clear, but the year Franklin was raided, a small group of restaurant managers and a future black Republican presidential candidate bought a chain of mafia-themed pizza joints from Pillsbury for $40 million.
