Before this thread morphs into a discussion of "The Finders"/"Project Monarch"/MK-ultra zombies - let me attempt to cut to the chase...
Shadow - is it your opinion that "Paul Bishop" was really working "on behalf of the CIA" when he contacted Noreen Gosch?
I thought your previous reference to him was quite rational, but you haven't answered my question as to your opinion on what he was really "up to" at that time?
For starters, and just to clarify, my reason for posting the finders bit was to refute your assertion that the CIA has not investigated anything to do with child
/sex rings prior to 1999.
That being said, I have mixed feelings about what role GPB may (or not) have played in Johnny's disappearance. What I do find interesting are a couple of things. Here's a "
budding" [ep]hebephile who
a) shows up out of the blue and
b) (so Noreen alleges) claims to be a "
CIA asset." The problem is, Noreen's claim came out in her book, "
Why Johnny Can't Come Home" which was not published until nearly a decade after the Franklin bit. Which leads me to believe she not only inferred but also embellished GPB's statement...
"I work for a government agency which is investigating pedophile organizations."
...that the man worked for the CIA, when said agency could have just as easily been the United States Postal Service (who does actually play a role in child
investigations). Nonetheless, I personally doubt he even worked for USPS, much less the CIA. Esp since statements such as the above are designed to present an illusion of authority. Even so, this man's presence raises the question wrt whether he and his (at the time) accomplices were involved in kidnapping Johnny. As you no doubt know, serial rapists, killers, etcetera, tend to closely monitor investigatory progress, which includes but is not limited to getting close to the victim's family on false pretenses.
Interestingly (or perhaps not so), GPB has been historically known to invite his "
to be" victims to "
party" at a local hotel, drug & sexually abuse them, and then pay a visit to the victim's parents after the fact—claiming to be LE, that the teen engaged in illegal behavior, and that he is letting the teen off easy by alerting the parents rather than taking the teen to juvie. Although the goal may seem transparently obvious (i.e., preempting sexual abuse allegations), GPB's wholly unnecessary post-abuse visit to the victims' parents leads me to believe it is part of his '
fetish' so to speak—that he gets off on extending the teen's victimization into their home.
While this scenario may seem to fall flat on its face due to the lack of even the tiniest whisper of him having ever been involved in child abductions, imho, GPB's historically brazen and patternistic behavior certainly raises him as a legitimate candidate wrt Johnny's disappearance. And, even if he was not directly involved in the abduction, I would venture to guess that his visit with Noreen could have been a prepatory exercise, so to speak, by his "
trainers"—a result that would lead to a life-long indellible pattern of post-abuse visits to his future victims' families.
And finally, if it did turn out that he was involved, I'd sure be looking at unsolved cases, not only in Des Moines but the Fairfax area as well as other areas that he resided during the past 30 years. Bc, if he (and/or his accomplices) did abduct and/or murder Johnny, given the amount of time, I would expect the victim count to be rather high.
