Every time I read about a major pedo or child porn (CP) bust, I notice a major pattern which is consistent with the treatment of pizzagate. If the story is even covered by the MSM, which it really was not in the case of the recent crackdown in California:

• The numbers of people caught in the net are staggering, yet the number of actual arrests is paltry.

• There is virtually no follow up or curiosity by the press. The media, if they report at all, either drop the issue or sometimes delete all evidence of the story (e.g., recent pedo bust in Norway below).

I am providing a starting point here, but I want to compile a list of these major busts, the numbers implicated, and the actual reported arrests. This is more proof of an active effort to block true justice by law enforcement/judiciary and proactive deflection of the truth by the media, something that we have experienced with pizzagate, which is why this is relevant as a post. Examples:

• Six-City operation involving 12-year-old boys and centered on DC was exposed by NYT (1982). No follow-up stories or arrests: http://www.nytimes.com/1982/07/27/nyregion/boy-sex-rings-said-to-peddle-client-data-to-foreign-agents.html

• Franklin Scandal (1988 - 1991). Before his very suspicious plane crash right after receiving a trove of incriminating photos, investigator "Gary Caradori had compiled a leads list of 271 victims of sexual abuse in the Franklin area." Not only was this story barely covered by the media, but the police/FBI actively thwarted the investigation, threatened witnesses and victims, and ultimately charged only 2 people, alleged victims of these crimes, for perjury for daring to name names of public officials: http://www.thepeopleshistory.net/2014/03/the-franklin-scandal-elite-child-abuse.html

• Over 5,200 people were found with child porn on the computers at the pentagon (2006). Investigation was abandoned after not even looking at all 5,200 cases, with 264 confirmed on payroll. No firings, let alone arrests and prosecutions, were ever reported as the probe was simply dropped (0% arrest rate): http://alexanderhiggins.com/pizza-gate-5200-pentagon-employees-busted-buying-child-porn/

• International pedo ring busted (2011) involving 70,000 people. Initial reports of 184 suspects (.26% arrest rate): http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/16/AR2011031601798.html

• Second Mile Charity (founded in 1977, abuse allegations going back to at least the 1980s, arrested in 2011): Only 1 person (Jerry Sandusky) was ever arrested in an operation that clearly involved many elite. The DA, with new evidence in tow, mysteriously disappeared, never to be found. NO OTHER PERSON was ever charged in what was clearly a criminal pedo enterprise that operated for decades and was actively protected by the police: http://americanfreepress.net/the-far-reaching-implications-of-the-psu-child-abuse-scandal/?print=print and http://www.yardbird.com/kids_as_commodities_Second_Mile_and_PA_DPW.htm

• The Hampstead case in the UK (which also censored investigation into Jimmy Saville pedo network) goes back many years and is ongoing (2014 - present??), with a massive cover up by the involved police, media, and government, with many high-level officials implicated. Similar to the Franklin Scandal in the efforts by the police to discredit and threaten the victims in spite of provable medical and testimonial evidence (http://educate-yourself.org/cn/hampsteadmedicalreportconfirmsabuse11mar15.shtml)) of abuse: https://newsinsideout.com/2015/06/ella-abraham-evidence-trail-from-hampstead-uk-pedophile-network-leads-directly-to-pm-david-cameron/

• 660 suspected pedos arrested in the UK in a major bust of an online ring, saving over 400 kids (2014): http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/16/world/europe/uk-pedophile-probe/

• FBI shuts down the "largest reported" online pedophile site, with 215,000 members and 11,000 unique visitors per month (2016): https://www.engadget.com/2016/01/07/fbi-hacked-the-dark-web-to-bust-1-500-pedophiles/. They expected at least 1,500 cases to be tried from this. This story reports "hundreds" were arrested: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/09/playpen-story-fbis-unprecedented-and-illegal-hacking-operation

• 20 arrested of at least 51 suspects in an international pedo ring centered in Norway (2016). The striking factor here is that it involved 150 terabytes of data. That massive amount of data would indicate a much larger ring than 51 people and likely involves 100s of children at a minimum, based on the numbers. The initial reporting of this by the AP made it into some MSM stories, but all references were scrubbed from their sites within a couple of weeks: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1476934

• 474 arrested in massive pedo bust in California (2017). Major media is alarmingly silent about the biggest such bust in US history: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1620904. The other disturbing aspect is that initial reports indicated that all of these kids rescued were released back to the Department of Chidren and Families (DCF), the government agency under which they were given to pedo sickos. Top this off with a discovery that many of the police badges, including for LA Sherrif, were found to have the FBI-confirmed pedo logo on them: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1620028

An interesting pattern emerges: If you try to find original stories or investigative reports on these major sting operations, something that could win a Pulitzer prize for the exposure that it brings, one cannot seem to find any such coverage in major media sources like the big network news networks (CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS) or print media (NYT, WaPo, etc.). In the rare case you find a story, it is more often a release of an AP story, with no work on the part of the paper, and with zero follow-up activity. The MSM has shown an absolute lack of interest in these stories. Think about the importance of sharing this information to help protect our weakness, let alone the human interest side of trying to help those who were targeted. On top of this, when these stories start touching into the inner circles in which the MSM and elite operate, the media is no longer silent but hostile, with an active effort to silence any investigation or minimize the scale and scope of what has been uncovered.
