Craig J Spence and Larry E King

Spence was an important Republican lobbyist, who feared that, because he knew something very dark, implicating the very most powerful man in America, George H. W. Bush, that he would be killed by the CIA at his murder would be made to look like a suicide. He was later found dead in a hotel room - the CIA connected coroner declared the bizarre death -suicide. Several of his partners went to jail for being involved in the adult part of the homosexual sex ring. Democrats were also involved in this as well, so don't expect them to expose the sex ring. - The Franklin cover up

Larry King is now serving a 15-year federal prison sentence for defrauding the Omaha-based credit union. But the magazines Avvenimenti of Italy and Pronto of Spain, among others, have charged that King's crimes were more serious: that he ran a national child prostitution ring that serviced the political and business elite of both Republican and Democratic parties. Child victims of King's operations charged him with participation in at least one satanic ritual murder of a child several years ago. The Washington Post, New York Times, Village Voice and National Law Journal covered the full range of accusations after the story broke in November of 1988. King's money machinations were also linked to the Iran-Contra affair, [see the venice flying circus below] and some say that King provided the CIA with information garnered from his alleged activities as a ``pimp'' for the high and mighty. - George Bush - the unauthorized biography

Clinton's involvement in the drug and arms running goes even further than a mere cover-up of the deplorable activities that went on, and are still going on, at the airport in Mena. A federal mail fraud case against an Arkansas pilot-trainer who participated in illegal arms exports to Central Americarelied on a key Clinton staffer as a chief witness.

The case was dismissedfor lack of evidence when the CIA refused to allow the discussion of top secret information about the arms transfers.

Terry Reed, a former employee of the CIA's Air America operation in Laos during the Indochina war, claims to have been recruited as a pilot trainer into the Iran operation by Oliver North. In an article written by David Gallis and published last year by Covert Action Information Bulletin, Reed said that in 1983 he had agreed to supply North's operatives with "certain items." - Clinton linked

Starr investigation targets law-enforcement complicity

SCANDAL IN NEBRASKA

excerpt from this article

Lawrence King was no stranger to President Bush. And Lawrence King was no stranger to Craig Spence. Several of the Omaha child prostitutes testified that they had traveled to Washington, D.C. with King in private planes to attend political events which were followed by [CHILD] SEX PARTIES. King and Spence had much in common. Not only were they both Republican Party activists but they had gone into business together procuring prostitutes for Washington's elite.

From Julie Walters' 50-page handwritten report: "3/25/86. Met with Kathleen [Sorenson] and Lisa for about 2 hours in Blair [Neb.] questioning Lisa for more details about sexual abuse.... Lisa admitted to being used as a prostitute by Larry King when she was on trips with his family. She started going on trips when she was in 10th grade. Besides herself and Larry there was also Mrs. King, their son, Prince, and 2-3 other couples. They traveled in Larry's private plane, Lisa said that at these trip parties, which Larry hosted, she sat naked 'looking pretty and innocent' and guests could engage in ANY sexual activity they wanted (but penetration was not allowed) with her.... Lisa said she first met V.P. George Bush at the Republican Convention (that Larry King sang the national anthem at) and saw him again at a Washington, D.C. party that Larry hosted. At that party, Lisa saw no women ('make-up was perfect -- you had to check their legs to make sure they weren't a woman').

"The polygraph test which Lisa took only centered around sexual abuse committed by Jarrett Webb. At that time, she had said only general things about Larry's trips (i.e. where they went, etc.). She only began talking about her involvement in prostitution during those trips on 3/25/86....

"Lisa also accompanied Mr. and Mrs. King and Prince on trips to Chicago, N.Y. and Washington, D.C. beginning when she was 15 years old. She missed twenty-two days of school almost totally due to these trips. Lisa was taken along on the pretense of being Prince's babysitter. Last year she met V.P. George Bush and saw him again at one of the parties Larry gave while on a Washington, D.C. trip. At some of the parties there are just men (as was the case at the party George Bush attended) -- older men and younger men in their early twenties. Lisa said she has seen sodomy committed at those parties....

"At these parties, Lisa said every guest had a bodyguard and she saw some of the men wearing guns. All guests had to produce a card which was run through a machine to verify who the guest was, in fact, who they said they were. And then each guest was frisked down before entering the party."

"She indicates that in September or October 1984, when [Lisa] Washing- ton was fourteen or fifteen years of age, she went on a trip to Chicago with Larry King and fifteen to twenty boys from Omaha. She flew to Chicago on a private plane.

"The plane was large and had rows of two seats apiece on either side of the interior middle aisle.

"She indicates that King got the boys from Boys Town and the boys worked for him. She stated that Rod Evans and two other boys with the last name of Evans were on the plane. Could not recall the names of the other boys.

"The boys who flew to Chicago with Washington and King were between the ages of fifteen and eighteen. Most of the boys were black but some were white. She was shown a color photograph of a boy and identified that boy as being one of the boys on the plane. She could not recall his name.

"She indicates that she was coerced to going on the trip by Barbara Webb.

"She indicates that she attended a party in Chicago with King and the male youths. She indicated GEORGE BUSH was present.

"She indicates that she set [sic] at a table at the party while wearing nothing but a negligee. She stated that George Bush saw her on the table. She stated she saw George Bush pay King money, and that Bush left the party with a nineteen year old BLACK BOY named Brent."

Q. Where were the parties?

A. Like I stated, a lot of them were at the Twin Towers. In various apartments and penthouses. Some were at a farm house. Some were actually at Larry King's house. Which was on a, all I know it had a big hill on it. It was nice, nice house and stuff. Also down in Washington, D. C. We had parties in Kansas City, couple of parties in some place in New York.

Q. What was the nature of these parties?

A. A lot of the parties when we went to, that we went to and stuff, the ones in the Twin Towers were basically for one reason. And that was for sex.

Q. Sex between who?

A. There was sex between adult men and some other adult men but most of it had to do with young boys and young girls.

Q. Young boys and young girls with each other or with older folks?

A. With the older folks. Also some of the parties, there was some parties above The French Cafe that they would bring people in and stuff that were from out of town. Those were specifically for sex with minors. Also in Washington, D. C. there were, there was also parties like Rusty had already talked about where there was parties after a party. Where they would have a party where they would have a legitimate party with like some politicians, businessmen. And a lot of them never knew about what happened at the after, you know, the party afterwards and stuff. Like in Washington, D. C. there was a lot of parties where they would be senators and congressmen who had nothing to do with the sexual stuff. But there was some senators and congressmen who stayed for the parties afterwards. And one person that I'm not afraid to talk about because his, because Larry King always said him and this guy were on the opposite ends of the field because this guy was a Democrat and Larry King was a Republican. That's a known fact and stuff. And this guy, every time I see him on TV and stuff, my wife knows my hatred for him. Because every time I see him and stuff it disgusts me because it's --his name is Barney Frank. - source

Bernard Kerik Linked to Company with Mob Ties

Bernard Kerik, one-time nominee for Homeland Security secretary, accepted tens of thousands of dollars from a construction company with ties to organized crime, New Jersey officials charge.

Court papers filed by the state's Division of Gaming Enforcement say Kerik abused his position as New York City correction commissioner in the late 1990s by accepting the money from the Interstate Industrial Corporation of Clifton, N.J., while he was helping the company pursue business with New York.

The gaming agency is trying to keep Interstate from doing work on Atlantic City casinos.

Details of Kerik's dealings with Interstate and its owners, Frank and Peter DiTommaso, became public late last year after President Bush nominated him for the Homeland Security slot.

Kerik - who was New York City police commissioner at the time of the 2001 terrorist attacks - withdrew his nomination just days later, citing possible tax problems with his family's nanny, the New York Times reports.

New Jersey officials say Interstate paid another contractor for renovations worth more than $200,000 at Kerik's Bronx apartment. According to the complaint, Peter DiTommaso brokered a deal in which Kerik paid only $17,800 for the renovations, and the balance was paid by the DiTommasos.

Kerik's lawyer Joseph Tacopina said Kerik paid $30,000 for the renovations and believed that was the full amount due.

New Jersey officials also alleged that Interstate gave Kerik's brother Donald an $85,000-a-year job at the same time Kerik was "using his influence within New York City government to help the company win a license to operate on Staten Island," according to the Times.

The gambling agency's court papers were filed with the Casino Control Commission in Trenton. The agency has no authority to bring criminal charges against Kerik, but the Bronx district attorney is investigating his ties to Interstate.

During the agency's investigation, Kerik - now a security consultant to the government of Jordan - invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination eight times, according to the Times.

Frank DiTommaso has long rejected claims that he and his brother have ties to organized crime, and told the Times they had not underwritten the renovations at Keri's apartment.

But New Jersey investigators said they have information - including testimony from mob turncoats - about ties between the DiTommasos and the Gambino and DeCavalcante crime families. - newsmax
