I am noticing some chatter on how to keep this movement alive and viable in the long term. This is important because if you look at the franklin scandal or the dutroux affair eventually they fizzle out despite the evidence and public support.
I think it is time to start to consider a multi faceted plan: investigating and compiling evidence is important but alone it is not enough. The perpetrators are in this for the long haul and they have the money, influence, and organization in place for it.
How can we avoid the pitfalls of the past such as the franklin coverup? Why did nothing change? I myself am not sure but I think there is a lot of expertise here. I thought a discussion would be helpful at this stage.

The Franklin Scandal fizzled because victims, witnesses, and investigators became frightened for their lives. Victims changed their story after they saw what happened to teenager Alicia Owen for telling the truth... 9-25 year prison sentence for perjury. Much of it in solitary confinement.
There were also many mysterious deaths surrounding those willing to come forward with evidence. Investigator Gary Caradori had incriminating photos and his plane exploded mid-air. Troy Bonner's brother committed "suicide". With a corrupt judicial system, police department, and local newspaper, victims had nowhere to turn.

I was just about to type your entire post. Yes, people started talking/researching and then they were murdered - I think there are 20 or so deaths associated w/ Franklin case.
Today, we have the internet - the most powerful tool the pedo cartel has in its arsenal and also its biggest liability. No one believed the Franklin story, believed the kids because these were still relatively unfamiliar crimes and no way would someone believe leaders in the community would be capable of these types of crimes. The general public knows better and is certainly learning th emore noise is made abut PG and references to prior cases here and abroad. Also, the MSM cartel is all-powerful but we are a swarm of angry bees.

I lived in Omaha during the Franklin scandal and am intimately familiar with the details and truth. I worked in the "Old Market" area and know many of the faces and places involved in the Franklin scandal.
Many people with personal knowledge of the Franklin cover up are alive today and still refuse to step forward out of fear. The rabbit hole is deep. Be careful out there.
