In November a witness to longterm abuse in a Welsh care home, Steve Messham, was the victim of character assasinations in the press when he spoke out and a certain Tory MP that WAS investigated in the 90's about abuse was the one getting the apologies and compensation.
Right, nice one for posting this thread, but lets clear things up a bit, shall we?
First off, Steven Messham wasn't "character assassinated" at all. He, in conjunction with Newsnight, made a false allegation which he later retracted and which caused great problems for the BBC and was slanderous against an individual who had nothing to do with the the Wrexham Care home abuse.
Secondly, Lord McAlpine was exonirated as part of that original inquiry, you are mistaken.
If we're going to discuss something as potentially serious and widespread as this network of freaks, lets at least try to be accurate and not repeat the garbage that landed much better investigators than us in hot water.edit on 13/12/12 by stumason because: (no reason given)

Privare Eye ran an article recently on Steven Messham, I can't provide a link or recall it accurately as I don't have it at hand ( and they don't do online without paying for it...so no link).
It said that they were hoodwinked by him in an article they ran years ago ( much like the BBC were), but they seemed to be extremely sympathetic towards him as he really is a bit messed up due to what he has been through.
What I found interesting was that they mentioned that after the Dr. Kelly affair was that the BBC put procedures in place that meant that they would never run a story with a single source.
Not following this procedure has bitten them on the bum, again.
If you really want to read an amazing story, please do a google search for 'scallywag' and 'Angus James Wilson'.
If you are interested at all then he was the co-founder of scallywag magazine who died in bizarre circumstances. I'm not even going to mention what the story is about ( due to fear of getting the arse sued out of me) but a search will get you onto the story in about 10 seconds.
As to the truth of the story... I can't possibly say, but it is a good read.
"Conspiracy of Silence" is a powerful, disturbing documentary revealing a nationwide child abuse and pedophilia ring that leads to the highest levels of government. Featuring intrepid investigator John DeCamp, a highly decorated Vietnam war veteran and 16-year Nebraska state senator, "Conspiracy of Silence" reveals how rogue elements at all levels of government have been involved in systematic child abuse and pedophilia to feed the base desires of key politicians....

I agree with you about the celeb that wasn't charged or named. It's just possible he was innocent and the police have an agenda to make an example of well known entertainers at the moment.
The only agenda the Police would have is the fact they are obliged to investigate all allegations made to them. The fact someone is arrested is in no way indicative of them actually committing a crime or being guilty of anything. Thinking otherwise is dangerous and subverts the whole judicial process.

How can you be so sure of the 'only agenda' the police would have?
I am basing my view on the facts that there are paeodophile suspects within the police force. Victims came forward and were dismissed by police, Saville was friendly with police and never charged in his life. It's just possible some people within the Police may have their own interest to protect. Abuse Investigations have been stopped by our government before when they highlighted 'inconvienient' names. Again that demonstrates a certain agenda.

Im sorry but i cannot run along with the conspiracy theories that suggest that this is a massive paedo ring that has been protected by people in high places, i just cant.
Sources have confirmed to the Guardian that the names and credit card details of the two MPs are on a list of subscribers to a child porn internet portal sent to Scotland Yard by the US authorities. The MPs, who are both reported to be former Labour ministers, are the latest public figures to become caught up in Operation Ore, the largest inquiry into child pornography undertaken in the UK.
Operation Ore........In all, 3,744 people were investigated and arrested. The list included Ministers, MPs and members of the British establishment.....

He did indeed and he had his meetings with police every week at his flat in Leeds.
I'm very doubtful we'll get anything but a few scapegoat Mp's arrested in operation Fairbank.

Paedophilia and child abuse seems to be common practice in the elitest circles, there have been some accounts by those that have been abused in the past that they were being used as part of masonic rituals and passed around at elitest paedophile orgy's.
I believe this to have been and to continue to be a very harsh reality!
These people are sick, they are mentally derranged and their crimes are abhorrent and sicken us normal folk, yet it seems to be an institutionalized form of ritual abuse in these higher circles.

Isn't it convenient that Savile and Cyril Smith are dead? People can sigh a sigh of relief and think it was just a few odd perverts that are now deceased, nothing to see here.....What makes it impossible for politicians involved with a network of abuse? Many care homes were involved over many years, that's a staggering amont of abuse and it would be naive not to think there was some degree of organisation and collusion between the care home staff and people outside the homes. Scallywag magazine linked various MPs to the abuse in the 90's.

I can't remember many ex Labour ministers and mps ever being mentioned in relation to the investigation. The Who guitarist Pete Townsend was named and cautioned but not the ex-ministers. We have got plenty of c list celebrities now though. i'm really not convinced it's any different from 9 or 20 years ago.

This seems like fantastic news, yet every investigation so far gets stopped, diverted & closed down.
If I believe this investigation was truly out to uncover the truth and honestly investigate, regardless of where the investigation takes them, I would be over the moon, however, whenever previous investigations have got too close to elite politicians or to royalty (yes there are senior royals who have abused children) or to any serious top level people, the investigation eventually collapses.
They also have secret courts, they edit statements, they stop victims from naming certain people and, as far as I'm aware, children in care are actually NOT allowed to accuse someone of abuse and their testimony is not permissible... Something jack straw introduced, although I'm not entirely clear of exactly the rule/ban, perhaps someone can correct/help me?
Anyway, call me a cynic but I won't be holding my breath.
