Oh, yes, also consider this, from snowlion's link above:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Darren Boudreau, 34, of Cheyenne, Wyo., claims in the lawsuit that he was "emotionally and mentally scarred for life" because of the alleged abuse by the Rev. Richard Colbert from approximately <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>1985 to 1989 at Father Flanagan's Girls and Boys Town in Omaha, Neb.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->And then go to bluespiano's Gosh link and read about DeCamp's info about his client, Hupp, and figure out his timeline at Boys Town.<br><br>See link for entire interview.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20Government/boys_town_abuse.htm">www.jesus-is-savior.com/E..._abuse.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><br><br>"...<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>When in the course of your investigations did you begin to realize that Boys Town in Omaha was essentially a “farm” for what you determined to be a national network of pedophiles that extended well beyond pedophilic priests?</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>When the children I was representing—and in the course of interviewing others—brought the role of Boys Town up as a central point. At least certain elements of Boys Town were being improperly used.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>How did you get the British Broadcasting Company [BBC] interested in coming over and doing the explosive documentary that they produced on Boys Town (but which was never aired)?</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>I did nothing to get them interested. Somehow the BBC got a copy of an early edition of my book. They sent over a preliminary team and, for whatever reason unknown to me, the BBC sent over an entire investigative mission. Over a period of nine months or so they produced the program entitled Conspiracy of Silence. It was scheduled in all of the TV guides to appear on the Discovery Channel on a particular date and at the last minute it was pulled and never saw daylight. <br><br>I called the individual who handles the Discovery Channel programming and he told me that the program had been bought up and sealed and was never to be seen. However, a copy of the video was sent to me from parties unknown, who were obviously concerned that the program was not going to be aired.<br><br>Some $500,000 was paid to buy the airtime for the program. So, whoever bought it at the last minute was able to prevent it from being shown. However, the copies of the videotape are out there and are being widely distributed.*<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Now you have picked up a new client and it ties directly into Boys Town.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>My client is the former head of Boys Town. He was the head longer than anyone in the history of Boys Town. His name is Monsignor Robert Hupp. In 1976, he was appointed as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations, the only clergyman ever appointed to that position. <br><br>He contacted me. He’s 87 years old. I met with him and he needed some help. He felt, I guess, at his advanced age that he wanted to correct some problems and abuses that he had tried to years ago. Just after I was asked to represent him, he completed a major recorded deposition in the presence of many church lawyers, and also attorneys for a number of altar boys who had been abused by priests.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Did he come to you because there were suits against Boys Town?</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>There were lawsuits against the Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha and Boys Town is a part of the archdiocese. The position of the church, which was very public, was that they knew nothing about the abuse and, if they had known, they would have done something about it. <br><br>That’s very important to understand. They are saying, “We didn’t know, so how can we be held responsible. If we had known, we would have done something about it.”<br><br>However, the essence of what Monsignor Hupp asked me to do was to help get the true story out, because what he had to say was rather shocking and would totally disprove that claim here in Omaha and probably in a lot of other places.<br><br>I made the arrangements so that he could get his story out under oath. The deposition that he gave in this case may be sealed, but one way or another the story he had to tell will come out.<br><br>Let me give you some background on Monsignor Hupp so that it will all probably make sense. In 1969, Hupp became was what is called the “vicar general” of the Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha. A vicar general is the second-in-command, just below the bishop. When the bishop is gone, the vicar general acts in his place. He held this post until 1973. <br><br>During that time he became aware of the problem of sexual abuse. He officially notified the bishop at the time, Bishop Sheehan, and said, “This is terrible. You have to do something.”<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong> From 1969 to 1973, Hupp was making an issue of this</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> but the bishop did nothing but move the priest to another parish.<br><br>So, we overcame the first defense that “We didn’t know and if we did know, we would have done something.”<br><br>Then, Hupp gave an ultimatum to the bishop, saying, “I am resigning as vicar general,” and the bishop tells him that he can’t do it. Hupp said, “I will either resign and you will accept my resignation or I will go to the Omaha World-Herald newspaper and we’ll see what happens then.” So the bishop let him resign. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Shortly thereafter, Hupp was appointed to be the head of Boys Town</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. Today Hupp believes this was sort of a reward for keeping quiet.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>He served as head of Boys Town until 1985</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> and, of course, went on film with the BBC acknowledging that he was like the wife who was the last to know. He is now determined to do what he can to correct the problem. He sees this as a failure to address the issue which caused it to get worse.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Are you able to determine how many boys from Boys Town got dragged into these national pedophile rings?</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>I know there were many. I did not realize how serious and widespread it was until about the last six months. <br><br>I had a visitor from the federal public defender’s office in Las Vegas. They called me and said: “I think we have a common interest.” They said: “Well, you know about a place called Boys Town.” <br><br>I responded: “You federal prosecutors have been part of the problem, helping to cover up what’s going on there.” <br><br>They said, “Would you be willing to meet with us?” <br><br>I agreed and they were there the next morning waiting at my office door. <br><br>They were representing a fellow named Paine who is on death row in Las Vegas. He had a bad habit of killing taxi drivers. This Paine had a number of brothers and they had all been raised in Boys Town. When Paine was convicted it turned out that, as they explained it to me, he was a multiple personality that was deliberately created.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>In other words, someone had used psychiatric techniques and sexual abuse to alter this young man’s mind.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>Yes, and this happened at Boys Town. The story he told was that all of these mind control experiments were being carried out. <br><br>Now, the first time you hear this, you think, “Oh, they are in la-la land.” However, the federal public defender went on to explain that Paine had revealed to them a host of very serious problems going on at Boys Town. Both he and his brothers had been involved, and Paine’s attorneys wanted me to share with them any information that I had come up with. They are appealing Paine’s death sentence and hope to use this information in the appeal.<br><br>The attorneys told me that this boy had another brother, Andre, who lived in Omaha. It turns out that many years before, on the very night the Franklin Credit Union was raided and closed by the federal authorities, he and a group of boys were taken out of Boys Town in the middle of the night and moved to an institution out of state.<br><br>I told these federal public defenders, after giving them a copy of my book: “I predict that after you read the book and before we get very far into this case that you will suddenly get intimidated and lose your interest. You’ll find that the FBI was involved in the cover-up of all of this.”<br><br>They said, “Oh no, no, no.”<br><br>So they lined up the brother, Andre, who is now in his early 20s, to meet with me. Andre told me all of the same things that my previous client, Paul Bonacci, and others had told me. But he had never had any contact with any of them. They had the same stories, the same information, the same people. However, Andre gave me some more information on how organized it was at Georgetown and how he was taken out of Boys Town on a regular basis to participate in sexual parties where they did pornographic films. They would say he was being taken on a visit to his mother, but, in fact, he was not visiting his mother.<br><br>It wasn’t 24 hours later I got a call from the kid and he told me that he was heading out of town. The reason why was because the FBI had shown up at the place where he was registered to go to computer school and seized the computers and told them the boy was involved in all kinds of things. He was kicked out of school. The FBI then went to his apartment and scared his landlord into evicting him. And they went to the place where he worked as a clerk and that place fired him.<br><br>The kid knew he was in trouble and he said, “If they come after me again, I’m going to kill myself.” But I’ve put this young man in touch via e-mail with Noreen Gosch, whose son Johnny was kidnapped and brought into these sex rings. They’ve been exchanging information.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>What’s happened with the federal public defenders representing Andre Paine’s brother?</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> <br><br>They stopped contacting me....." <br><br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=chiggerbit@rigorousintuition>chiggerbit</A> at: 9/26/06 11:42 am<br></i>
