IN 1993, A FILM CREW FROM YORKSHIRE TELEVISION, IN THE U.K., LED BY PRODUCER NICK GREY AND DIRECTOR TIM TATE WENT TO OMAHA, NEBRASKA IN THE U.S.A., ABOUT AN ALLEGED PEADOPHILE RING.
FUNDED BY THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL IN THE U.S.A. THEIR PROPOSED FILM WOULD FIRST BE BROADCAST IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND AS PART OF YORKSHIRE'S TELEVISION DOCUMENTARY SERIES: “FIRST TUESDAY”. A U.S. BROADCAST WOULD FOLLOW.

IN OMAHA THE FILM CREW DISCOVERED THE MACHINATIONS OF A VAST OPERATION FUNCTIONING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, PROVIDING CHILDREN TO THE WEALTHY AND THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT FOR MOLESTATION, DRUG TRAFFICKING AND BLACKMAIL.

A YEAR LATER IN 1994 THE DOCUMENTARY “CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE” WAS TO AIR IN THE U.K., HOWEVER DURING FINAL EDITING WITH, THE FIRST BROADCAST APPROACHING, THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL WITHDREW SUPPORT AND REIMBURSED YORKSHIRE THE HALF MILLION DOLLARS IT COST TO MAKE.

AT THE LAST MINUTE BEFORE AIRING, UNKNOWN CONGRESSMEN THREATENED THE TV CABLE INDUSTRY WITH RESTRICTIVE LEGISLATION, IF THIS DOCUMENTARY WAS AIRED. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, THE RIGHTS TO THE DOCUMENTARY WERE PURCHASED BY UNKNOWN PERSONS WHO HAD ORDERED ALL COPIES DESTROYED.

THE DOCUMENTARY WAS ORIGINALLY LISTED FOR VIEWING IN TV GUIDE MAGAZINE, TO BE AIRED ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL ON MAY 3RD, 1994.

PROPONENTS OF THE FILM CLAIM THAT IT WAS WITHDRAWN DUE TO POLITICAL PRESSURE. NEITHER YORKSHIRE TELEVISION NOR THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL COMMENTED OFFICIALLY ON WHY IT WAS NOT AIRED.

A COPY OF THIS VIDEOTAPE WAS FURNISHED ANONYMOUSLY TO FORMER NEBRASKA STATE SENATOR AND ATTORNEY JOHN DE CAMP, WHO MADE IT AVAILABLE TO RETIRED FBI AGENT TED L. GUNDERSON.

TO THIS DAY THE DOCUMENTARY REMAINS “UNAIRED”.
WHAT FOLLOWS IS AN UNPUBLISHED, YET COHERENT, ROUGH CUT OF THE DOCUMENTARY. “CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE”
