The Journey 95. Nick Bryant: The Child Abuse Cover-Ups Continue

Publisher RA “Kris” Millegan talks with Nick Bryant about the Finders pedophilia cult, “The Franklin Scandal” (Nick’s book about the pedophilia ring exposed in the 1980s), his book with Henry Vinson (“Confessions of a D.C. Madam: The Politics of Sex, Lies, And Blackmail”), Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophilia customers, and the mainstream media’s protection of perverts in high places.

Nick: A Rolling Stone editor said, “Pitch me dark stories.” I saw a little spark in his eye when I said, “Satanists?” I had a simple plan. I was going to meet some Satanists, go to a black mass, write an article, and that would be it.

While getting background, I came across a cult called The Finders. Two of them had been busted with six children in Tallahassee. And they were indicted on multiple counts of child abuse. And a doctor said that two of the kids showed signs of sexual abuse.

The kicker came [when I saw that] the CIA had quashed the investigation into The Finders. I was stunned. It did not compute. I thought I knew how the world worked. I’d read a lot of books. Studied philosophy. I’d been in academia.

Kris: I started studying what I called CIA-drugs. I was mostly looking into the importation. Then I started looking at what I called CIA-drugs, “the dark side,” which is that MK-ULTRA and all of this stuff.

Nick: When I told Rolling Stone about [The Finders], they said, “Why don’t you just stick to Satanism?” So that was that.

But I went to Omaha, Nebraska, because something similar to The Finders had happened there. I was pretty skeptical. I thought that there had probably been a pedophile ring. But the claims were pretty outlandish. [For instance, that] Boys Town, the distinguished orphanage, was providing a nationwide pedophile network with children. And then when you get into the Washington, DC side with Craig Spence, you’ve got intelligence connections, or CIA connections, and then you’ve got blackmail. I was dubious of a lot of that story.

Then I went to Omaha and I talked to a victim. I got a lot of documentation. People were terrified to talk. Terrified. I left Omaha thinking that what I’d stumbled across was far bigger and far more malignant than I had originally anticipated. I was kind of stunned that here we have lots of children getting abused and a lot proof for it, but nobody in mainstream media wanted to touch it.

Kris: You were the guy who released Jeffrey Epstein’s black book to the public.

Nick: I suspected that the Epstein affair was very much like [The Franklin Scandal]. And actually, it turned out to be much more like Franklin than I initially thought. But Epstein was covered up in broad daylight in the United States of America.
