For background, here's my article about a politically-connected child sex ring operating in Florida and Georgia. It pulls together the Bush family, Chinese spies, trafficking of illegal immigrants by Southern farm owners, and the infamous case of John Couey raping and murdering Jessica Lunsford.

John Couey abducted Jessica, raped her, and buried her alive, but there was a cover-up to make it appear that he acted alone. As it turns out, Mark Lunsford (Jessica's father) had child porn on his computer and appeared to be pimping out his own daughter to other pedophiles, including Couey, who got in through an unlocked door without the dog barking at him (indicating he knew the Lunsfords). The family members in the trailer with Couey purportedly didn't know he had Jessica, even though he held Jessica in the trailer for multiple days. Police officers visited the trailer multiple times, even entering one time, and also didn't discover Jessica. They also didn't find Jessica when she was buried right outside Couey's trailer, and may have actually called off search teams when dogs identified the area she was buried. State attorney Brad King refused to prosecute Mark for child porn possession or Couey's family members for aiding him. And the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) somehow sent a letter to Citrus County telling them to round up Couey to the wrong sheriff's department address. An FBI agent apparently pressured Couey into taking the fall on his own, without implicating anyone else.

Gene Secord is mentioned in that article as one of the people related to Couey. He was married to Couey's niece, Madie Secord, although their relationship was on the rocks by 2005. In a deposition, he reveals some interesting facts, such as Couey's mysterious connection to Georgia (which corroborates the claims that he was involved with Coggins Farms in Lake Park GA). He was apparently one of the only people in the trailer with Couey who didn't do drugs - Couey, his sister Dorothy Dixon, and his niece Madie Secord all smoked crack.

Allegations beginning in 2013 made a more interesting claim: part of the reason Couey's family didn't face charges is that Gene Secord was the nephew of Major General Richard Secord, a covert operations specialist involved in Vietnam and Iran-Contra. Perhaps this sounds a little farfetched at first glance, and it's worth asking what Richard Secord would have to do with the Couey case anyway, but allow me to put forth a potential theory.

One little-known fact about the Iran-Contra affair is that Lt. Col Michael Aquino was involved. Rusty Nelson, a child porn photographer involved in the Franklin scandal, testified in court that he saw Franklin scandal ringleader Larry King hand a suitcase of bearer bonds earmarked for the Contras to "the Colonel". This was Michael Aquino, indicating that Aquino was active in the Contra supply effort alongside people like George H.W. Bush, Oliver North, and Richard Secord. Michael Aquino, as most people here know, was also a Satanist pedophile implicated by multiple children (such as Paul Bonacci) as leading the Monarch mind control program.

MONARCH: The New Phoenix Program connects Aquino and Secord even further, claiming that both of them led a covert operations cell that worked on mind control. I haven't verified this book, but given the connection between Secord and Aquino, it's reasonably likely that Richard Secord had a role in Monarch.

Now let's return to John Couey and Gene Secord. Couey had an incredibly low IQ, close to being legally retarded. Some people actually speculated that Couey's low IQ allowed him to be manipulated by mind control operatives. Maybe that seems outlandish, but there are some pieces of evidence supporting that theory. It appears that Couey was an operative in this interstate pedophile ring, and his tasks probably included kidnapping other children for this ring; but why would this child sex ring, which reached the highest levels of government, trust a lowlife like Couey unless he was controllable? Also, Couey and most of the rest of his family were heavy drug users, and drugs are often employed in mind control programs to make people more suggestible. Who was the only person not using drugs in the trailer? That would be Gene Secord.

Might Secord have been a Monarch handler for Couey and his family? If so, that would imply Secord was deeply connected to covert operations inside the government. A family connection to Richard Secord would provide support for that possibility.

(An interesting aside: the MONARCH book I mention above says that Richard Secord was involved in using energy weapons technology to manipulate the mind. The sex ring Couey appears to have been involved with extended into Valdosta GA, where Moody AFB was based. Moody AFB recently had multiple civilian and military personnel arrested for trying to solicit sex with minors. And there are mind control allegations there too. One woman claims she was electronically tortured by her ex-boyfriend who was stationed at Moody AFB, and allegedly in 2007 there was an EM wave technology tested at Moody AFB.)

So maybe a family connection between Gene Secord and Richard Secord is more important than it might appear. Plus, even if the theory about Couey being mind-controlled is wrong, a family relationship could still be significant in some other way.

As of now, I've been unable to verify or refute such a connection. Based on the Wikipedia page, Richard Secord (full name Richard Vernon Secord, born 1932) did retire to Florida after Iran-Contra, and Florida is where Gene Secord lives too. The Wikipedia page mentions two younger siblings of his, Sandra and Jim, about whom I've found no other information. Here is some family tree information for Richard Secord, which apparently doesn't mention Sandra or Jim. This is a mugshot of Gene Secord (full name Gene Allan Secord, born 1969).

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who's skilled at uncovering family trees would take up this investigation. It could provide a very significant connection between Iran-Contra, a Florida/Georgia child sex ring, and mind control operations.
