When will a new “franklin scandal” ( http://members.tranquility.net/~rwinkel/blackmail_scandal ) remind the media that such practices are also pervasive in the USA?  Child abuse is institutionalized at every level of society from medicine to media, and elevated to a bonding ritual in the american aristocracy.   Pedophilia-related mutual blackmail is foundational to the infrastructure of power in this country.   It’s a holy sacrament might as well be written into the constitution.  This is babylon.
