It was the Franklin Savings and loan cover up. I found a remake of the documentary that got squashed and not allowed to show back then.
I've been thinking about this for a while and I always compared this to Epstein/Trump. Now I realize it was in the same time line. Larry King could have been supplying young kids to E/T. Here is a link to the video.

(52,784 posts)I'm from across the river. I remember hearing rumors about this when we moved to the area. But there were so many versions of it. It all seemed like conspiracies at the time.
Ironically, I first heard about it from a staunch right winger.
I have not seen this video before.

(555 posts)info that I'll bet isn't widely known. You've serve a great purpose in spreading this story. I wonder if other similar scandals will be uncovered as well.
It's a genuinely disgusting story with very sick power-hungry people.
Hopefully America will wake up and vote for better leaders and get over their worship of highly functioning sociopaths.
Think about it, as far as we know two presidents were/are pedophiles.
Shameful!

(23,598 posts)From One Nation Under Blackmail by Whitney Webb:
Who are these people? They are the group that is popularly called the Enterprise. They are in and outside [the] CIA. They are mostly Right Wing Republicans, but you will find a mix of Democrats, mercenaries, ex officio Mafia and opportunists within the group. They are CEOs, they are bankers, they are presidents, they own airlines, they own national television networks. They own six of the seven video documentary companies of Washington, DC and they do not give a damn about the law or the Constitution or the Congress or the Oversight committees except as something to be subverted and manipulated and lied to.
They abhor sunlight and love darkness. They deal in innuendo and character assassination, and planted stories, the incomplete thought and sentence. They burn and shred files if caught, they commit perjury, and when caught they have guaranteed sinecures with large US corporations.
If you let them, they will take over not only [the] CIA but the entire government and the world, cutting off dissent, free speech, a free media, and they will cut a deal with anyone, from [the] Mafia to Saddam Hussein, if it means more power and money. They stole $600 billion from the S&Ls and then diverted our attention to the Iraqis. They are ripping off America at a rate never before seen in history. They flooded our country with drugs from Central America during the 1980s, cut deals with Haro in Mexico, Noriega in Panama, and the Medillin and Cali cartels, and Castro, and recently the Red Mafia in the KGB.
They ruin their detractors and they fear the truth. If they can, they will blackmail you. Sex, drugs, deals, whatever it takes?
Former CIA officer and Iran-Contra whistleblower Bruce Hemmings, circa 1990

(114,491 posts)It almost drove the stories about pedo priests off the front page in Boston. Almost.
The worst part is that I wasn't surprised by any of it, not the use of a highly respected, well funded charity as a piggy bank, not the systematic rape and torture of children in its care, not that the perpetrators were all such upstanding Republican businessmen. If there is any sort of a system that can be exploited, predators will find it and exploit it.
