Though each child
victim’s story is uniquely tragic in its own devastating way, in far more ways
their stories are the same, regardless of sport, perpetrator, nation or time of
crime. Sports pedophilia scandals as depicted by mainstream news always casts one
abhorrent deviant predator who for many decades exploits both his authority and
reputation to get away with chronically abusing multiple generations of
children before ultimately being exposed and spending the rest of his life
behind bars. The power differential between each authority figure, most often a
renowned coach, and his fledgling underage athletes all eagerly vying for
playing time, recognition, approval, and a chance to fulfill their dream of
success and fame, is the common dynamic behind every single scandal in both the
sports and entertainment worlds. In all cases the brave young souls who
eventually do come forth to report their sexual abuse go unheard, dismissed and
cast aside, only permitting the abuser to continue to abuse for many, more years.
In every case the
larger sports organizations - be they Olympic entities or regional and
international associations to all the national governing bodies, they are always
guilty of protecting the perpetrator(s) at all cost. And other than one singled
out monster, the surrounding private elite club of fellow pedophiles and
pedophile enabling system associated with each of these horrifying scandals
seems to by design always remain relatively unknown and hidden from public
view, unexposed and free of all culpability and accountability. Ultimately at
the top of this Luciferian power pyramid, too much power, control and money is
at stake, thus saving the undeserved reputations and private identities of
other guilty parties and more powerful elite pedophiles become far more
important than saving the lives of mere expendable children regardless of their
growing numbers. And the media is always there to protect the pedo-interests
that would otherwise unveil the deeper incriminating connections to the larger
global pedophilia network. And in the end, you can plug in and interchange in
any given sport the names of the sole MSM designated child raping monster
eventually caught and the multitude of his child victims, along with the times
and places of each scandal, and without exception, all are characterized by
these same definable constants driving each and every tragedy currently being played
out on the world stage.
Since the previous
section of chapters laid out in full detail the biggest known pedophilia scandals
in sports history, at least in America, the one covered next involves the game
of soccer (or football) played at the junior club level at the planet’s very
pedophilia epicenter - the United Kingdom. And true to form, all the same
common features listed above are present in this biggest ever British sports
scandal as well. Additionally, this chapter launches the next book section
examining the slew of pedophilia scandals uncovered in recent years outside the
US in the ever fertile pedo-pastures of Europe, Australia and elsewhere.
Barry Bennell is the
designated predatory pedophile coach who is the Coach Sandusky of the UK
football world still rocking Britain today. Earlier this year the 64-year old
Bennell was finally locked away for good after receiving a 31-year prison
sentence following his fourth and final conviction for more than four decades
of raping hundreds of little boys with big dreams.[i] For
a couple decades Barry Bennell was employed by such hugely successful
professional football clubs as Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra as both a
coach and talent scout who helped develop the skills of a number of junior
players that went onto the professional Premier League. With Premier the
world’s richest (£4.5bn in
the 2016-17 season),[ii]
most watched soccer league,[iii]
featuring stars peddled by the pedophile, in recent decades the United Kingdom
singlehandedly has jumpstarted the current obsession and popularity for the #1
international game of football. Again, just like the Catholic Church and
Olympic US national teams in Swimming and Gymnastics, it was far more feasible
for the sport’s pedophile enablers at the top busily raking in billions to
quietly reassign its pedo-coaches to different locations to do more damage
rather than take any serious steps to protect child athletes and stop the
tightly-under-wraps, rampant abuse from escalating into today’s endemic crisis.
In addition to
longtime employment as a scout and coach for junior teams at Manchester and
Crewe Football Clubs (FCs), as an important side job from 1979 to 1981, no
doubt to hone his predator skills, the serial child rapist worked at Taxal Edge
residential school.[iv]
Historically children’s group homes in the United Kingdom are pedophilia
havens.[v]
Raping and pillaging group homes complete with buried corpses[vi]
have been servicing the likes of Jimmy Savile,[vii]
PMs[viii]
and MPs[ix]
and the royals[x]
for over half a century (topics covered thoroughly in the next couple
chapters). In fact, Bennell’s Taxal Edge co-worker and fellow pedophile is also
currently under police investigation. The now 62-year old Bruce McLean worked
at Taxal Edge from 1975 to 1978, and later founded the children’s charity
Adventure Farm Trust in Cheshire, receiving philanthropic support from actor
Michael Cane and musician Phil Collins.[xi]
As a volunteer
football coach who must’ve known Barry Bennell, they both shared the same
hankering for children down to even sharing the same grooming M.O. - escorting
victims to Manchester football games and then abusing them afterwards.[xii]
McLean was arrested for molesting boys in a Cheshire group home in 1995 and in
1997 began a 9-year prison sentence while his cohort Bennell started his own
9-year sentence a year later in 1998. In 2014 the Derbyshire Police arrested
McLean again after an investigation of historic child sex abuse involving a boy
attending Taxal Edge dating back to the 1970s. And just like clockwork, a year
later it was Bennell’s turn to return to prison again. McLean represents an
important link between Bennell, Manchester and Cheshire FCs, group home
charities and a mutually active participation in the wider child sex abuse ring
exploiting soccer lads.
The earliest report
of Bennell’s pedophilia dates back to 1972 when the derelict was only 18 or 19
years old.[xiii]
Yan Nowacki, now 57 years old as Bennell’s earliest known victim, claims he was
a 13-year old Manchester City player when invited to a sleepover at Bennell’s
mother’s home. While Yan slept he was awakened by the predator still pretending
to be asleep groping his genitals and buttocks. The boy immediately sought
refuge on the floor where he spent the remainder of his sleepless night
untouched yet frozen in the predator’s presence. Yan says that the warning
signs were there from the start. In the locker room the young coach couldn’t keep
his hands off his players, religiously applying ointment on boys right up to
their inner thighs just centimeters from their crotch.
Another relatively
early and most detailed account of them all regarding Bennell’s longtime abuse
came from future professional baller Andy Woodward. His sexual assaults by
Bennell commenced in 1984 when the shy 11-year old and his working class
parents were approached by the eventually disgraced Crewe coach and talent
scout.[xiv]
Promising a shot at the pros, Bennell invited Woodward to train at the
professional Crewe Alexandra club and spend weekends at his nearby residence to
improve his skills. And just like the Penn State abuser’s basement game room,
this serial predator on the other side of the pond made sure his home was
similarly decked out as a “child paradise,” complete with a pool table, juke
box, arcade games and a live pet monkey and a wild puma for entertainment along
with all the football accessories and equipment… the perfect groomer’s flytrap.
From the very start
little did young Andy and his parents realize that he was being taken in by a
coldblooded sexual predator. On his first visit the coach gifted him a pair of
soccer cleats. Then on his second weekend stayover, Bennell asked Andy to come
to his bed where, at the predator’s direction, the game of “follow me” was
played where they took turns touching each other.[xv] By
the third visit, the child rapist escalated his criminal advances quickly
leading to rape and sodomy over the next four years.
Bennell regularly had
two or three, or sometimes as many as a dozen kids staying with him over the
weekend for years at a time. That should have been a red flag in and of itself
to both the Manchester and Crewe football clubs. When each organization found
out, they feebly told Bennell to stop the sleepovers.[xvi] But
as long as the renowned scouting coach continued sending potential stars to the
professional Premier League, the serial child rapist’s employment always
remained in good standing. Crewe’s feeble admonishment is no different from the
Penn State honchos telling Sandusky not to shower anymore with his victims over
a decade before he was finally arrested.
One of Andy’s
teammates, Anthony Hughes, disclosed that a mini-bus would pick up 11 or 12
boys at a time and take them back to Bennell’s home in Derbyshire:
There was plenty of things for us to play with,
pinball, a jukebox, computer games. Then he’d put a video on of us playing
football and analyze that. But once that finished, that’s when he’d put on the
porn, S&M type stuff. He had a great big stack of tapes in his house. He’d
get us all sitting round watching it while he sat there stroking the back of
your neck or putting his arm around your shoulder and stroking your chest and
nipples. Or he’d give you a little tickle.[xvii]
The boys were too
young to realize they were all being groomed as abuse victims. While most of
them would sleep in bunkbeds at Bennell’s house, the predator would select his
favorites to join him in his room where rape and sodomy were on his wickedly
twisted agenda.
A complainant who
estimated being abused 100 times during Bennell’s Manchester City years
provided testimony to the police on the monster’s bedroom assaults:
He was very clever - it was always lights
off, music blaring out. I learned how to shut down. When it happened I could
literally shut down my emotions. All I know is every time I was abused, part of
me closed down. When the tears came out my face, I shut my body down. He’d
abuse me and I’d have tears rolling down my cheeks. He didn’t give a shit. That
hurt. It didn’t stop him.[xviii]
While on a tour to a
training camp in North Wales, victims were taken to a large house in the middle
of nowhere that they called “the Haunted House.”[xix]
Another grooming tactic Bennell regularly utilized was to force the boys to
watch horror films to obviously frighten them, availing opportunity for the
sicko to initiate physical contact and predatorily move in closer for “the
kill.” Bennell would also mysteriously knock on their doors at night to scare them.
To terrorize the lot of them, the demented sodomizer even resorted to placing a
sheep’s head in the bed of one of the boys.
While coaching and
scouting talent at Manchester City from 1975 to 1982, a club director described
Bennell as a “star maker.”[xx]
A demo of the star maker’s power was evidenced when a boy arrived to see the
coach about joining City and was brutally sodomized that night. After “the
worst day of my life,” when the boy threatened to report Bennell the next
morning, the “star maker” smugly replied:
It wouldn’t matter. Nobody would believe
you. I’ve got people playing professional football now that I’ve done these
things to - you’re nothing.[xxi]
Even prior to Andy
Woodward’s abuse from 1984 to 1988, there was Ian Ackley who Bennell preyed on
as his “main target” while at Manchester City, abusing Ian “hundreds of times”
from 1979 to 1983. Note Bennell’s chosen favorite victim switched at the same
time the coach moved from working for Manchester to Crewe. In 1997 Ian Ackley
was even featured divulging his horror story about sexual predator Bennell on
the Channel 4 documentary Dispatches.[xxii]
Despite boldly speaking out 20 years ahead of Andy Woodward, apparently no one
was listening or watching as the British Football Association and the rest of
the world seemingly ignored this first whistleblower’s painfully shocking
truth. Also from the 1997 doc we learn the fact that over two decades ago,
before a national audience Charlton first team Coach Les Reed had already
recognized there was a major pedophilia problem in the sport and was expressing
his dire concerns way back when:
The FA needs to come out of
the towers at Lancaster Gate and really investigate what is going on.[xxiii]
An FA spokesman asked
to respond to Reed’s statement back in January 1997 stated:
The FA has been a prime
mover among sporting governing bodies to get an effective screening process
which aids child protection.[xxiv]
Now more than two
decades later with the biggest pedo-epidemic in United Kingdom’s sporting
history blown up in its face, the UK Football Association is still desperately
floundering, still vowing to change things around, only making yet more feeble
broken promises. Again, if the FA was actually doing its job protecting
children all along as it claimed in 1997, we wouldn’t be where we’re at right
now. All these years later, FA’s history only shows a complete lack of
protecting child athletes, and if anything, it has incriminatingly demonstrated
even more convincing evidence of a worldwide pedophilia network.
Britain’s #1 sexual
predator in football possessed nunchucks, a dangerous martial arts weapon with
which he forced his victims to hold a newspaper up that he would use to
violently tear in half as an overt demonstration delivering intimidation and
bodily threat should any victim dare report his crimes.[xxv] If
any boy resisted or complained, the coach would customarily bench the player or
kick him off the team entirely, thereby throwing away the dream to reach the
higher level. These all too familiar tactics echoed by pedo-coaches in other
sport scandals were drummed into the fearful heads of their victims:
I
can ruin your football tomorrow. Keep quiet or you’re finished.[xxvi]
Barry Bennell once
admitted to police that his ideal target of a victim was 13 years of age because
in his own words they were:
Pedigree footballers who were athletes and
good-looking.[xxvii]
Though he’s on record
having abused youth as young as 8 or 9, his preference was for older boys up to
15. Again in a police interview:
Nine-year-olds scared me because they were
still attached to the [mothers’] apron strings.[xxviii]
At will, the
charismatic, larger-than-life soccer ace was able to get away with sexually
assaulting his many victims hundreds of times, taking full advantage of both
his sterling reputation as a first class talent spotter and the fact that he
was spotting boys far less prone to reporting abuse than girls, much less rough
and tough footballers entertaining big dreams in the manly sport where young
players rarely admit to the submissive victimization of sodomy.
Moreover, amongst the
players and club personnel, it was widely known that Barry Bennell was a child
molester. Rumors of Barry Bennell’s twisted sexual appetite were widely
circulating by the late 1970s and early 1980s, amongst both Manchester City
club personnel where he coached for 7 years from 1978 to 1985 and later at
Crewe from 1985 to 1992.[xxix]
But in the world of jocks, to be labeled an abuse victim is tantamount to being
branded “gay” or a “weak sissy boy.” It was no secret around the junior league
clubs, the pervert coach’s players were taunted as members of “the paedophile
club.”[xxx]
Amongst the players not abused, it became an insider’s secret joke, but fearing
loss of their dream to go pro, pedophilia was virtually never spoken of beyond
the locker room. Another reason why the abuse went on for so long, like in
every pedo-scandal, upon reporting abuse, victims are never believed and are
only subject to rejection, ridicule and more abuse.
One Manchester City
employee admitted:
Suspicions about him [Bennell] were aired
on many an occasion.[xxxi]
A former Manchester
City youth coach, Steve Fleet, risked losing his job in the late 1970s when he
vehemently complained to the City executives that Barry Bennell was placing
young boys in their organization at grave risk.[xxxii]
Yet knowing Bennell was a hardcore sexual predator, Manchester was relieved to
off the pedophile to rival Crewe Alexandra, of course not saying a word about
his criminal habit as a liability.
Police documents show
that Manchester’s senior staff, among them chief scout Ken Barnes, have been
“quite evasive” and hard put explaining why Bennell left their organization,
other than citing “irregularities.” It was Barnes who defended Bennell, calling
him a “star maker” when Steve Fleet sternly warned the directors at City about
his deviant proclivities. Then in the 1997 Channel 4 documentary Dispatches, Ken Barnes even made light
of Bennell’s criminality that at the time had him sitting in a US prison,
joking:
What
do you call them? Piddyphiles, is it?[xxxiii]
Soon enough Barry
Bennell was Crewe Alexandra’s problem. And in the role of Manchester’s Steve
Fleet at Crewe was Hamilton Smith, managing director from 1986 to 1990 who
maintains that in the late 1980s, he directly warned Crewe’s executive board
about Bennell’s criminal activities but was completely ignored.[xxxiv]
Like Manchester, all the higher-ups at Crewe also claim they never had a clue
Bennell was a pedophile. Obstinate in their denial right to the bitter end, as
recently as March 2018, Crewe released a 925 word statement reneging on its
earlier promise to conduct a thorough internal investigation to determine if
Crewe had engaged in a cover-up to protect both itself and Bennell.[xxxv]
In early March the organization had announced that it would forego launching
the earlier promised internal review, citing its feeble excuse that the
Cheshire Police (not unlike Alice’s Cheshire cat) had allegedly concluded that
no one at Crewe ever knew that a pedophile employee was in their midst (where
have we heard that before?).
Moreover, the
deceitful pedo enabling League Two club even made the bogus claim that the
current Crewe president John Bowler, a board member since 1979, denied any
recollection that Hamilton Smith reported complaints about the child rapist to
him, his board or longtime Crewe football director Dario Gradi.[xxxvi]
Smith’s response promptly called John Bowler out as a “lying bastard.”[xxxvii]
In the wake of
Woodward’s bombshell and subsequent additional charges filed in November 2016
against Bennell, the FA banned Dario Gradi as longtime Crewe manager for
allegedly allowing Bennell to rape boys at will during the seven years under
his watch. The Crewe manager and onetime Chelsea assistant manager was also
accused of attempting to “smooth over” a victim’s sexual abuse complaint back
in 1975 at the hands of now deceased pedophile Chelsea scout Ted Heath[xxxviii]
(note identical namesake of the child raping UK prime minister[xxxix]).
Gradi met with 14-year old pro prospect Eamonn Manners and his father at their
home to hear Eamonn explain the sexually inappropriate, unwanted advances
Chelsea’s scout “Eddie” Heath had heaped on him a few days earlier.[xl]
Gradi brushed it all off, pretending Eamonn had misunderstood Heath’s “good”
intentions:
Dario
said that Eddie loved the boys and the club, which was his life, and had simply
got carried away and gone too far.[xli]
With still a CYA
Cheshire cat smile on his face, assistant coach Gradi left Eamonn’s home and
nothing was ever done to stop the serial predator from sexually abusing
countless other boys over the next 8 years until Health’s death in 1983. Eamonn
Manners was expected to turn pro but instead, feeling unprotected and unsafe
knowing his child molester lurking about wasn’t going anywhere, after several
months the disempowered, unheard 15-year old gave up his close at hand
achievable dream to play professional football and left the Chelsea team
confused, perplexed and angry.
After Andy Woodward’s
November 2016 confession to The Guardian,
57-year old Eamonn decided to forego his confidentiality rights in order to
tell his revealing story to the Daily
Mail, how Gradi swept knowledge of his scout’s serial pedophilia under the
carpet, just as he did for Bennell at Crewe several years later. In fact, Dario
Gradi has spent his entire football career as a pedophile enabler. But then
with it common knowledge throughout the Premier League clubs that coaches,
scouts and football officials were rampantly molesting its underage players, it
was every enabler’s systemic duty to simply look the other way, just as at Penn
State, USA Swimming, USA Gymnastics, USA Taekwondo, USA Skating, USA
Volleyball, in fact all worldwide Olympic sports where big money and big power
rule.
Gradi even wrote a
letter on Bennell’s behalf to the Florida court in 1994 attempting to reduce
the convicted pedophile’s four year prison sentence, all the while knowing
Bennell was a guilty pedophile.[xlii]
Gradi even openly knew and allowed Bennell to have boys stay with him overnight
at Bennell’s home.[xliii]
As if Gradi’s despicably scandalous behavior isn’t incriminating enough,
additionally it’s been reported to BBC
that an employee at Crewe Alexandra was ordered in 2001 to remove child
pornography from Gradi’s home computer.[xliv]
Now you know why a complicit UK Football Association exercising damage control,
without explanation suspended Gradi as too heavy a liability burden once the
scandal broke in late 2016 and has yet to explain its reasons. But they’re
rather obvious.
Prior to Eamonn
Manners’ sexual abuse disclosure, his onetime Chelsea teammate Gary Johnson who
went pro also went public with his story. Two weeks after the Woodward
interview, the 57-year old former Chelsea first teamer waived his anonymity to
talk to the Daily Mail, revealing
that one of the richest football organizations in the world paid him £50,000
as hush money to stay quiet over the Heath abuse[xlv]…
just like USA Gymnastics did with Makayla Maroney. Made to sign a
non-disclosure statement accepting Chelsea’s non-liability as part of the deal,
once Andy Woodward broke the pedo-scandal wide open, Gary defied Chelsea’s
agreement and reported that the team’s chief scout Ted Heath sexually assaulted
him starting at age 13 three or four times a week totaling hundreds of times in
the 1970s. Not wanting the negative publicity generated if Chelsea challenged
Johnson on his breaking the confidentiality agreement, again just like US
Gymnastics, it opted to back down once he went public. In 2014 Gary Johnson
even went to the Metropolitan Police to report the abuse only to be told to go
back to Chelsea. But when he did, he was given the customary runaround:
What
makes me so angry is that I went to Chelsea to say I had been abused and they
basically said, ‘prove it.’ It made me feel like they thought I was faking
it, that's how it felt anyway.[xlvi]
Virtually every elite team in the
Premier League, just as virtually every police department in the United
Kingdom, has a long running shady history of shielding its legions of serial
pedophiles in high places from all accountability. Yet another linkage of the
pedophilia child sex ring is the fact that this particular pedophile in
question - Chelsea chief scout pedophile Eddie Heath, actually trained the
other Premier League pedophile scout Barry Bennell… the ever-familiar, more
“birds of a feather” theme.[xlvii]
After victims of Bennell along
with Crewe’s member in parliament already blasted Crewe Alexandra for its
refusal to look into its criminal past (as if its investigation would have been
objective), under increasing pressure, the Crewe
football organization continues ignoring its complicit role in covering up its
widespread abuse for decades. In March 2018 UK parliament member and chairman
of the culture, media and sport select committee, Damian
Collins, joined this growing chorus condemning Crewe’s refusal to examine its
cover-up role, calling it “totally unacceptable,” and engendering a complete
“lack of trust.”[xlviii] Collins has
subsequently emphasized the double importance of the UK Football Association to
leave no stone unturned in its ongoing inquiry into Crewe and the other city
clubs over their overt obstruction of justice and complete mishandling of years
of rampant pedophilia within its ranks that’s led directly to this current
epidemic crisis, including revealing specific reasons for Dario Gradi’s recent
suspension 15 months after he was prohibited from all football activity back in
November 2016.
Yet recently in March 2018 after
his 14 month exile, Dario Gradi resurfaced, granted an invitation to attend a
testimonial for a fellow Crewe Alexandra colleague, and received a standing
ovation,[xlix] sending the blatantly
clear message that Crewe deceitfully protecting its own criminality is highly
lauded. Hard to say which is more shameful and disgraced, the pedo-enabling
organization or its pedo-enabling former manager.
Once Crewe board
member Hamilton Smith warned the club that Bennell was a hardened pedophile,
the organization decided to maintain Bennell’s employment as long as the child
rapist ceased his sleepovers and was not left alone with his players,[l]
conditions the repeat offender never obviously complied with. Crewe lied when
claiming Bennell departed for “football reasons” in 1992 when in fact he was
two days away from parents filing a formal complaint against him, corroborated
by the sicko himself admitting he left Crewe over a complaint.[li]
The bottom line is Bennell was hired by club after club in city after city - Manchester City, Crewe, Stoke City,
Leeds United,[lii]
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Cheshire, followed all the while by his
not-so-secret reputation as the pedophile with the voracious boy toy appetite.[liii]
The truth that
Bennell’s “nine lives” as a serial child rapist was connected to a larger
pedophilia network explains why he was allowed to repeatedly prey on boys for
over four decades before ultimately issued his death sentence earlier this
year. Similar to Coach Sandusky and Olympic organization scandals, there is
clear evidence that Barry Bennell shared victims with other pedophiles within a
child sex ring network.[liv]
According to the Mirror, Bennell and Manchester based
coach and scout Frank Roper and other pedophiles in the soccer world swapped
their victims as part of the larger pedo-network.[lv]
47-year old Jason Dunford maintains that within an hour after he was dropped
from Bennell’s squad, his brand new coach-to-be Frank Roper was literally
knocking at his door to arrange his turn at molesting the 13-year old boy.
After fighting off Bennell’s advances at a holiday camp in Wales and then
catching the pedo-coach prowling a boys’ caravan at a tournament, smelling
trouble, Bennell swiftly kicked Jason off his team but not before contacting
his pedo-buddy Frank Roper who coached a rival squad affiliated with the
Blackpool Football Club and has since been posthumously accused of abusing 31
boys.[lvi]
Jason asserts that:
Within an hour of that decision he [Roper] had hit the
doorbell and the form was there; in those days your parents had to sign a form.[lvii]
Confirming that
Bennell was working with other pedophiles like Roper from other Premier League
clubs, Dunford’s steadfast claim that his abusers were part of a larger child
sex ring has also been backed up by other victims, coaches and football
officials.[lviii]
In addition to
sodomizing Jason Dunford, Frank Roper sexually abused another English football
star, the now 53-year old Paul Stewart, who like Woodward has stated that Roper
sexually assaulted him on a daily basis from age 11 to 15.[lix] A
week and a half after Andy’s November 2016 bombshell, England’s former striker
and midfielder Paul Stewart emerged from the shadows to reveal to the world his
torture endured on the way to professional stardom, keeping his dark secret to
himself for over 40 years. As is common for perpetrators to use death threats,
Roper threatened to kill Paul’s father, mother and two brothers if he ever
breathed a word. To normalize the abuse, his deviant coach told Paul that an
opposing coach Barry Bennell was also “doing” his players. The 1991 FA Cup
winner with the Tottenham Hotspurs turned to alcohol, cocaine and other drugs
to later cope with the chronic effects, breaking down emotionally when he
admitted the abuse stopped him from even hugging his wife of 29 years or
telling his two daughters and son that he loved them. Again, being raped as a
child is a lifelong curse. Paul Stewart lamented:
I want to be able to show affection, that has been the
worst aspect of it, them not being able to get close to me.[lx]
Incidentally in 2003
another Roper victim reported his abuse to Liverpool police but no action was
taken and two years later, like both pedophile Heaths, Roper also left this
earth without paying for his woeful sins.[lxi]
And just like the Chelsea police with Gary Johnson, this non-response may well
be more evidence of police once again protecting the larger pedophilia network
as foxes guarding the henhouse. To CYA, Liverpool Police have since reopened a
supposed internal investigation of its own oversighted “negligence.”
Still another
longtime youth coach whose name keeps coming up since November 2016 in too many
abuse victims’ reported incidents is 65-year old Southampton coach Bob Higgins,
subsequently charged with 50 counts of indecent sexual assault of minors from
1971 to 1996.[lxii]
At least two dozen of his former players have accused him of sexual assault,
one testifying it was a regular twice a week occurrence. Complainants have
testified that they were molested in Higgins’ home, his car, on ferries, at
tournaments and camps. Accusers at Higgins’ current criminal trial at Salisbury
Crown Court have named four teammates who enjoyed successful professional
careers, one being Alan Shearer, former captain of England’s national team.[lxiii]
These favorites called “Bob’s boys” were allegedly close to Coach Higgins, some
staying overnight at the accused pedophile’s residence, though none of the four
former pros have yet to publicly comment on just how intimate their
relationship with their former coach was.
So far since the
Woodward bombshell, at least ten coaches have been charged with historical
sexual abuse, one has since died and seven are either convicted as offending
pedophiles, or currently on trial or awaiting sentencing. As one of 17 ongoing
city police investigations into this epidemic in early December 2016 just two
weeks after the Woodward revelations, Manchester police already identified ten
suspects based on reported abuse from 35 victims in its jurisdiction alone.[lxiv]
Still another repeat
offender, already jailed in 2002 for a string of pedophilic incidents involving
pro baller Derek Bell and others, former junior coach and scout for Newcastle
United George Ormond is currently back in court facing 36 more counts of
indecent assault, one count of indecency with a child and one for sodomy.[lxv]
Back in the 1970s Derek Bell was abused from age 12 to 16 by George Ormond.[lxvi]
In Ormond’s ongoing
trial, it was learned that former Newcastle United’s manager John Carver was
informed in the spring of 1997 while Carver was lead coach of Newcastle’s youth
program that Newcastle United’s Derek Bell made accusations against Carver’s
assistant coach Ormond.[lxvii]
Yet Carver chose to do nothing, allowing Ormond to continue traveling with the
team working with his underage players. When asked why he did not take action,
Carver explained to the Newcastle Crown Court that he first “needed to digest
it.” Though Carver was Ormond’s boss, he never did digest it enough to even
bother confronting his pedophile assistant, allowing him to continue to likely abuse
more youth until his departure over a year later. Because neither Newcastle
United investigated Ormond nor were the police ever notified to investigate, it
was Derek Bell himself who reported Ormond to the police finally in January
2001.[lxviii]
Obviously this is yet another clear case of another Premier League team caught
up engaging in yet another cover-up.
Meanwhile in Ireland
and Scotland, still another case making the current headlines involves 72-year
old Jim McCafferty who pleaded guilty to seven offenses molesting boys in the
1980s and while a Celtic FC youth coach in the 1990s.[lxix]
His court sentencing is scheduled in June 2018. This ever-widening shameful
scandal rocking the United Kingdom seems to have no end.
Just like all the
rest of the pedo-sports scandals, for decades nothing was ever done to stop
these known maniacal predators. Identical to the serial child rapists wearing
priestly garb, protected by enabling bishops, cardinals and popes, influential
soccer coaches and scouts affiliated with professional Premier League teams
delivering sexually abused athletes to the pros have also been shielded by club
owners, club personnel and sport association executives allowing offenders to
quietly drift, free to harm yet more victims, apparently protected by a
complicit, asleep-at-the-wheel British Football Association (FA) as well as the
thoroughly corrupt, scandal-ridden FIFA as the presiding international football
governing body (see Chapter 17 on FIFA). History shows that all Olympic sports
worldwide are steeped in the same global pedophilia network and child athlete
sex trafficking system.
To stem blowback from
the unfolding scandal, in late November 2016 UK’s Football Association launched
an inquiry into many of its clubs guilty of child negligence, cover-up and
obstruction of justice, promising to punish clubs in violation of laws and
rules,[lxx]
such as providing hush money in the Chelsea case to Gary Johnson. Within a few
days of Woodward’s eye opening lowdown, the FA announced:
We are working closely with the police to support
their lead investigations and must ensure we do not do anything to interfere
with or jeopardize the criminal process.[lxxi]
If history is
repeated, the above statement in code word encryption means: “With assistance
from UK law enforcement, we will do our best to seal off the truth to ensure
that top tiers of the global pedophilia cabal remain protected.” If the UK
Football Association is genuine, its probe will uncover the nation’s “institutional failure to protect children,”[lxxii]
the very thing it said it was committed to doing 21 years ago. But if platitudes
vowing to clean up its act are anything like USA Gymnastics and USA Swimming
(see Chapter 17), expect its abysmal track record as this sport’s national
governing body and chief cover-upper to only continue to fail its child
athletes in obedience to the elite’s globalized pedo-network.
As an aside, Chelsea
FC owner since 2003 - Russian billionaire oligarch Roman Abramovich’s visa
extension was delayed by the UK government in May 2018, requiring him to
explain how he made his fortune prior to 2003 as, per the global cabal,
London-Moscow relations have soured. So due to his visa denial, in late May
Abramovich was forced to miss his Chelsea team defeat Manchester City for the
FA Cup title and instead acquire Israeli citizenship having already purchased a
large estate outside Tel Aviv.[lxxiii]
Since Israeli citizens do not need visas for short stays in Britain, for now
the mogul is forced to spend less time at his three UK mansions. Meanwhile, any
actual consequence that the British FA may levy against his Chelsea FC for its
illicit hush fund and its other improprieties remain to be seen.
Though mainstream
media’s job is to either pretend a global child sex trafficking network doesn’t
exist at all, or when another serial pedophile does get outed in the press and
cannot be avoided, the across-the-board MSM scripted focus never deviates from its
“lone gunman” fake news narrative, concentrating virtually all its coverage on
one identified sexual monster, be it Sandusky, Nassar or Bennell as the
standardized, formulaic sleight of hand strategy to distract, divert and
cover-up the global elephant in the room - the planetary controllers’
pedophilia network that’s always covertly behind every tip of the iceberg
scandal ever exposed. And the Barry Bennell scandal is no different.
That said, Barry
Bennell’s egregious criminal record is very telling in that the global network
cabal has largely been his enabling protector beginning with his earliest known
pedophilia in 1972 all the way up to his 2018 death sentence. With a little
less help from the power elite - royalty and other planetary kingpins that
allowed him to be convicted and sent to prison on four separate occasions only
to get out of jail and resume offending ad nauseam, his highly prolific, near
half century crime spree to a great extent parallels the infamous Luciferian
himself Sir Jimmy Savile’s, which is the main topic taken up in the next
ever-revealing chapter.
In the November 2016 Guardian article we learned that Andy
Woodward and hundreds of others were raped in the pervert Bennell’s home, in
his car, during tournament trips and youth football camps, even at Andy’s own
family home whenever the pedophile stayed overnight.[lxxiv]
His mother would ask Andy why he was always so quiet but the young soccer
player couldn’t reveal his shameful secret. As if this wasn’t excruciatingly
insufferable enough, matters quickly turned from bad to worse when, to Andy’s
horrifying chagrin, at age 14 his wickedly abusive home wrecker began dating
Andy’s 16-year old sister that the monster over twice her age would soon be
marrying in just two years. According to Woodward:
It was like a double whammy and he would
try to abuse me sometimes even with my sister in the same house. Later, when
their relationship became public, he would come round for Sunday dinner every
weekend, sitting with my mum and dad and my family, laughing and joking. I was
so frightened of him I just had to suffer in silence.[lxxv]
Imagine the seething
anger, dread and hatred Andy must have felt witnessing his rapist having sex
with his barely legal aged sister and then watching her marry the monster in
1991:
I had to attend that wedding, standing
in the church when I really wanted to rip his throat out. It was torture -
that’s the only word to describe it.[lxxvi]
After enduring four
long years of his traumatizing nightmare, then adding insult to injury, forced
to accept the reality that his evil pedovore brother-in-law was married to his
sister, all this caused the young man’s world to insidiously crumble from
inside out. Despite Andy’s innate athletic skills that carried him to the
professional league as a Sheffield United and Bury defender among several other
teams, his concentration on the field during his decade long career from 1992
to 2002 persistently suffered and his recurring anxiety, depressive and PTSD
symptoms had him injury prone, both physically and psychically. To cover up
ongoing panic attacks during a game, Andy would resort to faking a physical
injury.[lxxvii]
By age 29, Andy Woodward’s professional career was already washed up due to the
debilitating lasting effects from his chronic abuse. It wasn’t until the
predatory beast was well on his way to destroying both Woodward and his family
that Andy finally opened up to disclose his protracted ordeal for the first
time, after receiving a knock on his door from the police in 1998.
But first let’s examine
Bennell’s nine lives as a most vile career criminal within the international
judicial system beginning with his first arrest a near quarter century after he
began sodomizing underage boys. In 1994 while still married to Andy Woodward’s
sister, Bennell was arrested in Jacksonville, Florida after sexually assaulting
a 13-year old English boy attending a soccer camp and did four years in US jail
for that offense.[lxxviii]
The Florida police characterized the pedophile as having “almost an insatiable
appetite” for brutally raping young boys.[lxxix]
With an already established child rape conviction and reputation as a voracious
serial predator under his belt, in September 1997 Bennell was deported from an
American prison to face more charges in 1998 back in England. That knock on
Andy Woodward’s door in 1998 resulted in Andy’s anonymous testimony, along with
five other Bennell victims aged 9 to 15, to once again temporarily put the
pedo-fiend out of commission for a second incarceration lasting nine years.
That same year 1998,
Andy’s sister left her derelict husband ending their 7-year marriage. Her
tormented younger brother finally mustered up the nerve to tell his family
about his dark shameful past secret. Though it came as a terrible shock for
Andy’s sister and their parents to learn that Bennell sexually abused Andy and
many other boys for years without their knowing, just getting the truth out and
helping to send his abuser to prison where he permanently belongs had Andy
Woodward playing the best soccer of his 10-year professional career.[lxxx]
Immediately after the
pedophile jailbird got out of prison in 2007, Bennell was somehow able to
afford a luxury holiday in the Canary Islands where he enticed a married woman
vacationing with her family to begin engaging in an extramarital affair.[lxxxi]
The devastated husband of the woman he’d spent the last 20 years of his life
with whom he shared their 9-year old son and 11-year old daughter maintains
that once back home in England, his wife arranged a secret rendezvous with
Bennell in London under the pretense of Christmas shopping. A short time later
she left a note stating, “I’ve gone and won’t be coming back.” Her abandoning
her family for Bennell left the kids crying under their beds and the husband
suffering a massive heart attack and life-saving triple bypass operation. His
now ex-wife apparently became the pedophile’s loyal living companion. And both
she and the daughter continue visiting the derelict in prison, blindly
insisting that he is innocent of all charges (just like the Sandusky wife and
kids save one). Of course back in 2007 unaware that Bennell was a child rapist,
the jilted hubby went to the press earlier this year to bitterly recall his
Canary Island creepy encounter with his version of home wrecker Bennell:
He [Bennell] was there, lounging around, boasting about
his money and his cars and his big house, how he’d been a football coach in the
US. He was full of himself. But he only told half the story didn’t he? He
forgot to mention that he was a paedophile who’d done two stints in jail. He loved sunbathing, tanning himself up,
sitting round the pool, watching the kids. I’d take the kids to the beach but
my wife would stay chatting with him.[lxxxii]
The husband added:
Before this we were a happy family. I never thought she
would go for him. He was an old man, he wasn’t even good looking. He had this
young lad with him, in his mid-20s, who he said was his carer. He’d carry his
bags and drive if they went out.[lxxxiii]
Strange how fresh out
of the joint, an aging sicko “boy lover” who keeps getting locked up for rape
could afford a lavish holiday vacationing in the islands with a hired boy toy
in tow making time with a soon-to-be adulterous wife… unless he was being
sponsored by a larger pedo-network shielding him as in both the Sandusky and
Nassar cases. Once released from prison, again like the rest of the designated
pedo-monsters, every chance they get, Barry and company are at it again,
allowed to continue unabated violating hundreds more victims. The pedo-system,
with its revolving door policy, grants pedophiles a repeated free pass to
seemingly inflict unlimited harm on society, in this case on young English
soccer playing aspirants to the Premier League that betrayed both their trust
and their dreams.
A third arrest was
made in 2015 after charges were raised of raping a 12-year old attending a
youth course in Macclesfield in 1980.[lxxxiv]
Yet incredibly, the now three time convicted pedophile received the lightest
sentence of his 43-year old criminal career - just two years. Again, invisible
protection from above seems the most plausible possible explanation considering
over two decades earlier international law enforcement had already become aware
of this child rapist’s “insatiable [global] appetite.” The slap on the hand and
resultant little publicity generated from this 2015 case ultimately prompted an
incensed Andy Woodward who’d kept his secret hidden from the public for over
three decades to decide it was finally time to courageously reveal the horrible
truth about his past in a mid-November 2016 Guardian
interview.[lxxxv]
As if he could simply
shed his skin and escape his hellish past, upon release from his third prison
stint, Barry Bennell has been passing himself off as Richard Jones,[lxxxvi]
a nondescript name to assimilate into society if there ever was one. But as the
expression goes, a pedo-leopard can never change its spots. To this day, Andy
Woodward’s singular public confession opened up this never ending floodgate of
thousands of British men and boys coming forth to report their own sexual
trauma as youth playing athletes, similar to the Boston Globe’s 2002 scandal-breaking bombshell that exposed the
Catholic Church pedophilia on a systemic industrial scale operating worldwide
for many scores if not centuries.
By age 43, Andy had
spent the prior decade and a half since his pro-career retirement working a
dozen years in a police department while psychologically working on himself
fulltime to heal the grave emotional scars that have been in his words, “the
massive, horrible burden” haunting the previous 32 years of his tormented life:
I think the main reason I had to do this was because
I've gone through hell, I've gone through problems with my relationships, my
poor ex-wives have suffered, my children have suffered, they haven't had the
dad that they should, I've had nervous breakdowns. It got to the point now
where I've had the therapy now that I felt strong enough, and it's always been
in my stomach, I knew what went on at the time, I knew how many victims have
been involved in this.[lxxxvii]
Though the untold
damage and heavy wreckage the serial predator inflicted on Andy, his sister and
parents were devastating beyond words, Andy Woodward suspected that “hundreds”
(more like thousands) of other victims just like him were also suffering from
decades’ worth of this enormously agonizing, life reducing hardship. And he was
right. Because he was strong enough to make sufficient progress in overcoming
this lifelong trauma from totally destroying his life, he knew he had to divulge,
educate and alert the public of this endemic cancer that has spread throughout
both his and his homeland’s beloved sport. For his own salvation and the
salvation of so many others struggling with these chronic crippling effects of
childhood sexual abuse, from his own harrowing perspective, Andy had to lay
bare this scourge of pedophilia. In his words:
Only now, at the age of 43, I feel I can
actually live without that secret and that massive, horrible burden. I want to
get it out and give other people an opportunity to do the same. I want to give
people strength. I survived it. I lost my career, which was a massive thing for
me, but I’m still here. I came through the other side. Other people can have
that strength.[lxxxviii]
Instinctively the
parasitic vultures always know who the most vulnerable, defenseless kids are to
hone in and prey on. From the quiet one himelf:
He
would always pick the soft ones with the quiet parents who were less likely to
challenge him.[lxxxix]
I was soft-natured, too, and it was the softer, weaker boys Bennell targeted.[xc]
On at least ten
occasions a suicidal Andy Woodward was on the verge of killing himself by
hanging, carbon monoxide, pills, you name it.[xci]
But he was lucky, the overwhelming despair and pain experienced by likely
victims of the sadistic sodomizer proved too much to bear for at least four
identified former Bennell players.[xcii]
The most celebrated was the Welsh star and Wales national manager Gary Speed
who hung himself at the age of 42 in 2011.
Along with suicide,
alcohol and drug addiction as unhealthy coping mechanisms for self-medicating
the psychic pain, anxiety, depression, recurring flashbacks and nightmares are
commonplace symptoms lingering even years and decades after the abuse. In so many
cases for victims, it’s a lifelong condition that shortens life by an average
of twenty years.[xciii]
Andy Woodward boldly
going public with the horrors that Bennell perpetrated on him was the crack in
the wall that ultimately broke this scandalous UK dike as hundreds of victims
began calling the established national helpline and local police stations to
reveal the pedophilic crimes of not just Bennell as the MSM designated monster
but hundreds of other monster coaches, scouts and football personnel. As of February
2018, during the ensuing 15 months since Andy Woodward’s Guardian interview, 293 other suspects (besides Bennell) have been
identified.[xciv]
Within 13 months of the interview, 839 victims have emerged reporting 2,094
incidents involving 334 different clubs. We know that many more sexually abused
males are far less apt to report incidents than those who do, so it’s safe to
accurately conclude that, like the devil-incarnate from the entertainment field
Jimmy Savile, this devil-incarnate from the sports field also brutally
assaulted children well into the thousands. With Bennell just one sexual
predator amongst thousands, and likely millions worldwide, each abusing a
number of victims, and today we currently face the plague of the ages that all
of us must reckon with and fight against. No exaggeration, it’s literally life
or death time for humanity.
Andy Woodward’s
confession outed one of the most prolific serial pedophiles in UK history
(perhaps right behind Jimmy Savile), triggering the largest police investigation
into sexual abuse in Great Britain’s history.[xcv]
Pedophilia saturating United Kingdom soccer as well as its government,
entertainment, and aristocracy class is unparalleled, unprecedented, and on an
industrial scale. But outside the victims, the perps, and other insiders within
the sport, until recently no one actually knew just how colossal this epidemic
really is. And this is just in one sport in one nation alone, albeit the
pedophilia epicenter of the entire earth.
But pedophilia
scandals in youth football are not just limited to the British alone. A current
child sex abuse ring has been discovered within the world’s most popular sport
in Brazil, where in April 2018 Andy Woodward was invited as a consultant to
assist in combatting that nation’s enormous pedo-epidemic.[xcvi]
Also in neighboring Argentina a pedophilia scandal is now growing in soccer as
well as other Olympic club sports.[xcvii]
Clearly the worldwide pedophilia network has long been tapped into and
exploiting the seemingly unlimited source of 45 million kids in the US alone
playing organized sports.[xcviii]
And as of 2007, 22 million registered youth worldwide are playing soccer alone,[xcix]
offering an ever-expanding pool of potential victims to the evil ones.
Because after
November 16, 2016, 86 more Barry Bennell victims joined Andy Woodward admitting
he violated and destroyed their childhood innocence as well,[c]
days later Liverpool Crown Court was compelled to re-charge the pedophilic
scout-coach with yet more sex abuse crimes committed against a dozen young boys
between the ages of 8 and 15 from 1979 to 1991 from the Manchester City and
Crewe Alexandra clubs alone. The five and a half week trial in January and
February 2018 led to Bennell’s fourth conviction, this time on 50 counts
carrying a sentence of 31 more years behind bars, placing the current 64-year
old in prison until age 95.[ci]
And having undergone cancer of the tongue already, like Sandusky and Nassar in
America, Bennell will die in prison.
In a parallel process
with the Nassar court, last February intense, emotional impact statements were
heard in Liverpool Crown Court from a half dozen of Bennell’s victims
confronting their rapist during his sentencing hearing. Former Manchester City
youth player Chris Unsworth stated that as an adult he was compelled to undergo vasectomy surgery due to the chronic abuse
carried out over a hundred times by perpetrator Bennell, leaving Chris with an
“overwhelming fear” he could never protect any children he may have from
predators like his former coach:
I
could not risk the same horrendous abuse happening to them.[cii]
When Judge Clement Goldstone QC sentenced Bennell to 31 years, he described the monster
as “sheer evil”:
To those boys you appeared as a god... in
reality you were the devil incarnate. You stole their childhoods and their
innocence.[ciii]
Outside court a
vindicated Andy Woodward commented:
No sentence is long enough for that man
and right to the death he didn't show any remorse or say sorry to anyone. I'm
proud that I did speak out. If I hadn't have done, we all wouldn't be stood
here now today.[civ]
Due to the sheer
volume of Bennell victims, over seven times the dozen that legally put him away
for the next three decades, the 17 still ongoing police investigations may
result in Bennell’s further prosecution. Scores of his abuse victims are also
rightfully filing civil suits against Crewe, Manchester City and numerous other
clubs for knowingly harboring serial pedophiles in addition to suits being
brought against the UK Football Association as the full criminal culpability
and criminality of the larger pedo-network get uncovered. It’s no accident earlier
this year that gymnastics victims in America and soccer victims in the United
Kingdom have been simultaneously fighting back through their respective justice
systems. Finally, the pedophilia crime cabal is reckoning with its Achilles
heel and is on the run, desperately using its MSM propaganda machine to squelch
and deny the truth. But at this point in history, unlike all the time prior on
this earth, the truth will not and cannot be stopped.
As in every other
pedophilia scandal to date, overwhelming evidence exists indicating that for
years the larger pedo-system was in place not only operating to protect the
UK’s soccer scandal’s designated monster but also his peers and their
higher-ups in this now familiar Luciferian food chain. It
confirms the deeper truth behind every pedo-scandal spanning every sport and
beyond - that in every instance the elite power structure that runs this world
isn’t just a complicit enabler, it is the very source of this planet’s current
pedophilia plague inflicting untold damage to every tentacled corner of the
globe.
In November 2016 just
as America’s pre-election Pizzagate scandal was reaching fever pitch exposing
the Clinton-Podesta-Obama connection to Washington DC’s major child sex
trafficking ring, the courageous Andy Woodward became the first professional
footballer to come out of the skeleton-filled pedo-closet unveiling the rampant
scourge long infesting the most prized British sport of all. Despite their
life-altering sexual trauma, heroic victim-turned-survivors like Andy Woodward,
as well as Makayla Maroney and Jennifer Raisman from US Gymnastics, manage to
achieve ultimate success and fame in their chosen sports, then bravely go
public with their shocking dark secrets, thus becoming the empowering voice of
millions of abused children worldwide, irreparably harmed and even murdered by
the Luciferian killing machine. These courageous souls and all victims who
bravely report the ugly truth at great peril to themselves should all be
exalted as our modern day heroes.
Joining the growing
number of voices for justice last February outside the Liverpool courtroom
facing the press were three of Bennell’s victims from an organization called
Offside Trust, started by ex-professional players in November 2016 that serves
to end abuse in sports while supporting victims of child abuse. Steve Walters,
Mickey Fallon and Chris Unsworth read their statements aloud. The following
impassioned passage was delivered by Chris:
Our
justice is your justice, your suffering is our suffering. We stand together and
together we have this message to all those who abuse children or turned a blind
eye or cover up child sex abuse - your time is up. Our case was about abuse
that took place decades ago but child sex abuse is happening today and it is
destroying lives. Families are wrecked, relationships are poisoned and some
wounds can never be healed. But from this tragedy there is hope. The healing
journey of survivors is a difficult road, but one we no longer walk alone.
Thanks to organizations like the Offside Trust, survivors are supported. Unspoken
truths and frightened whispers have turned into powerful voices.[cv]
Though the earth is
endemically controlled by sub-human pedovores atop the food chain, nowhere is
it more deeply rooted than at its very epicenter - the United Kingdom, where
Lucifer’s hold in Freemasonry and the occult has secretly flourished for many
centuries. And no other pedo-scandal connects the demonic dots more
illustratively and empirically than the Jimmy Savile case covered fully in the
next chapter.

Joachim Hagopian is a West Point graduate and former Army officer who has written a manuscript based on his unique military experience entitled “Don’t Let The Bastards Getcha Down.” In addition to being a personal memoir, it exposes a faulty military leadership system based on one’s capacity to be an order follower, enforce arbitrary, asinine rules and engage in the psychopathic art of ingratiation. It’s based on ticket punching one’s way up the seniority system ladder, invariably weeding out the best and brightest along the way, leaving mediocrity and ass kissing order followers to rise to the top as America’s politician-bureaucrat generals in charge of losing US wars by elitist design. West Point fails miserably to instill integrity in its leaders and equally fails to teach and train positive genuine leadership skills to its officer corps.
After the military, Joachim earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and worked as a licensed therapist in the mental health field with abused youth and adolescents for more than a quarter century. In Los Angeles he constantly battled the largest county child protective service in the nation within America’s thoroughly broken and corrupt child welfare system. LA County Children’s Court regularly endangered his clients, afflicting more harm and abuse by making life and death decisions clearly not in their best interest. It prepared him well for later working as an investigative journalist exposing the evils of Big Pharma and how the Rockefeller controlled medical and psychiatric system inflicts far more harm than good.
As an independent journalist focusing on geopolitics, international relations, globalization and US Empire imperialism for over four years, Joachim has written hundreds of articles published on numerous alternative news sites, foremost among them Global Research, Sott.net and LewRockwell.com. His blog site is at http://empireexposed.blogspot.com.
Joachim is currently writing the A-Z encyclopedia exposing the global pedophilia epidemic entitled Pedophilia& Empire: Satan, Sodomy & the Deep State. The book can be read for free on Joachim’s blog site at or http://tinyurl.com/pedoempire. Many of the first sixteen chapters selling for .99 each since last fall on Amazon Kindle remain in the top 10 in both politics and child advocacy categories. With less than a quarter of the book to go, for those wishing to help complete this all-important project exposing the pedo-crime cabal sooner than later, donations are welcomed at paypal.me/AuthorJH
