About this listen

A chilling exposé of corporate corruption and government cover-ups, this account of a nationwide child-trafficking and pedophilia ring in the United States tells a sordid tale of corruption in high places. The scandal originally surfaced during an investigation into Omaha, Nebraska's failed Franklin Federal Credit Union that went beyond the Midwest, ultimately to Washington, DC. Implicating businessmen, senators, major media corporations, the CIA, and even the venerable Boys Town organization, this extensively researched report includes firsthand interviews with key witnesses and explores a controversy that has received scant media attention.

Just try and trust your government after this.

This book will make you see everything differently. Check out "The Devil's Chessboard" next. The author did a great job reading it as well.

Amazing information

I learned about Nick and his podcast on TikTok and started to listen to it. Then got the book and it’s very well researched.

Scary as hell

My God, there is no way we can look at power, and power brokers the same. There is an absolute evil that exists, and it could very well sit atop the pillars of American power.

Horrible real life tragedy

This book is a model of the child trafficking / sexual.slavery that is going on now at a larger scale with the full protection of the federal government. Absolutely unforgiveable.

jebus fricking

fantastic listen! though it'll ruin the rest of you're day, so clear your schedule.

I'm glad there was a silver lining to the whole ordeal in that the only two victims that made out ... ok .... we're the ones that stuck to their guns.

Seriously messed up story hidden in plain sight. This one is dark. Still worth the listen if you can stomach it.

Heart breaking and maddening

Loved hearing the author's words in his own words. Hard hitting facts and tough material but worth the listen.
