Watched Wonderland (2003), about the murders in 81. John Homes, involved. Noticed his long time girlfriend, she didn't die of AIDS, is still around, wrote a book.. "The road through Wonderland : surviving John Holmes", 508 pages.
"Schiller reveals the perilous road John Holmes led her down-- from drugs and addiction to beatings, arrests, forced prostitution, and being sold to the drug underworld. Surviving the horrific Wonderland murders, she entered protective custody, ran from the FBI, endured a heart-wrenching escape from John, and ultimately turned him in to the police"
Another odd thing with the Wonderland murders case, is you get this guy testifying..
Scott Thorson was a pivotal witness in the 1981 Wonderland gang murders case. He testified against gangster Eddie Nash, claiming he witnessed Nash and others torture a man named Holmes to reveal the identities of the assailants involved in the Wonderland murders.
Thorson's testimony was part of a major Hollywood-related crime case that led to him entering the federal witness protection program.
Role in the Wonderland case: Thorson, a former boyfriend of entertainer Liberace, testified in the prosecution of Eddie Nash, who was implicated in the 1981 quadruple murders at a house on Wonderland Avenue.
Witness testimony: Thorson stated he was present and witnessed Nash and others tying up and torturing John Holmes, a pornographic actor, in an attempt to identify the individuals who committed the murders.
Post-testimony: After his testimony in 1990, Thorson was placed in the federal witness protection program. He was later shot three times in 1991 when drug dealers broke into his hotel room.
Him and Liberace.. that movie with Matt Damon and Michael Douglas, Behind the Candelabra (2013) ‧ Romance/Drama ‧ 1h 58m.
So what the hell is this guy doing at Wonderland. The drugs.
I was thinking, there's no shenanigans going on with these Wonderland murders, like the Manson 69 murders. But just this Alice in Wonderland aspect and MKULTRA, mind control programming that most celebs go under, when growing up, raised in the Illuminati. There might be something odd going on with these Wonderland murders yet. Seems like just drug deals gone bad with those types of people. But I don't know. What would any "why" be, with this case. The Manson stuff you had some fishy "why".
The late 70's and early 80's, you had a lot of rock/pop stars dropping like flies. The government, with the guys running it back then, could be pretty savage. The "why", if they'd be the ones taking out these rock stars. So who knows.. maybe there's some "why" going on with the Wonderland murders.
But yeah.. was searching reddit conspiracy for Wonderland and was like, hey.. MKULTRA, where they used Alice in Wonderland for programming. Kept going pages back and noticed somebody posting:

David McGowan, author of Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon, also published The Pedophocracy. This lesser known text covers international and domestic pedophilia and discusses several key figures involved."
I'm there.. what? Never heard of this book. I look it up. You don't find it using google. I used duck duck go and found it.
The Pedophocracy by David McGowan.pdf
But it's only 55 pages. And this pdf I was like, wtf with this red background instead of white. I download it, run it through pdf to text. I'll paste it in the comments below. At least it's not this annoying red background, that's hard on the eyes. Who does that.
Then I start checking out that thread,
https://old.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/cil0y8/the_pedophocracy_by_david_mcgowan/
It starts off with a link and on this whale.to that I had bookmarked in the past. Lots of conspiracy pages there.
http://www.whale.to/b/pedophocracy.html
At least it doesn't have the red background.
David McGowan though.. that Weird scenes was a good book. Here's a bookmark of it. 328 pages.
https://archive.org/details/weirdscenesinsid0000mcgo
And now this one about pedophilia. He writes this stuff and, oh.. all of a sudden, "Dec 29, 2015 — ... passed away following a courageous six month battle against lung cancer."
Like when did he write these books. Weird scenes was 2010. Now this pedophocracy.. Can't find it cause google doesn't like talking about this stuff.
Oh, you got a page about it,
https://www.wikispooks.com/wiki/The_Pedophocracy
Here's the start:
"The Pedophocracy is term coined by David McGowan. It is the title of his book on the subject of pedophilia as an Elite habit and one of the main tools of control of the visible ruling elites, by those not so visible.[1][2] Of all human vices and perversions, pedophilia is one of the most shameful and outrageous in the public mind, giving it great potential as a source of control. VIPaedophile is another research term on Wikispooks into the topic.
This is a deeply disturbing subject. In similar fashion to the proposition that deep state actors commit false flag terror attacks against their own populations to further their agendas, people are reluctant to consider the thought that child sexual abuse could be systematically cultivated and used as a calculated and deliberate means of Machiavellian control. Many people simply do not want to be told such things. Outrage is thus indulged for a while before relapse into the consensus trance of everyday routine, where fear of strangers and the dark are relegated to the subconscious and the odd bad dream.
To be enlisted to the 'Pedophocracy Novitiate' so-to-speak is a temptation difficult for the psychopathic personality type that aspires to power to decline. To become a 1st degree member is to sell one's soul - and there are probably thirty-odd higher degrees each capable of 'making an offer that cannot be refused' by their 'juniors'. Standard military discipline simply cannot hold a candle to it; Special Forces/SIS-type skills and disciplines clearly make extensive use of the victims of it."
I don't think they'd like anybody digging up this stuff. Google doesn't like going there.. asked gemini AI and it uses google so you gotta use something else. I try grok.. even that, showing what's going on as it's inquiring.. it's like it's using google and can't really get anything going about info. At the end, it just says:
"The term "pedophocracy" was coined by David McGowan in his book of the same name, a compilation of investigative articles on child abuse networks and institutional cover-ups. It was first published online in 2001 as a free PDF on sites like mindcontrolforums.com, before being republished in print editions around 2014 after his death. This date is confirmed in linguistic references and bibliographies, such as Wiktionary and academic citations."
When searching, I thought it might of come out in 2011 but for some reason seems like 2001, so that's before Weird scenes. How did he even find out the info he did, with the Weird scenes book. But yeah.. in the comments gonna paste this whole The Pedophocracy book. Gonna start reading that this weekend.

"Paedophiles can boldly and courageously affirm what they choose ... I am also a theologian and as a theologian, I believe it is God's will that there be closeness and intimacy, unity of flesh, between people ... paedophiles can make the assertion that the pursuit of intimacy and love is what they choose. With boldness, they can say, 'I believe this is in fact part of God's will.'"
Ralph Underwager, 'expert' witness for the defense in scores of child abuse cases and former vocal member of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, in an interview in Paidika (a pro-pedophilia publication), conducted in June 1991
To the vast majority of Americans, the name Marc Dutroux doesn't mean much. Drop that name in Belgium though and you're likely to elicit some very visceral reactions. Dutroux - convicted along with his wife in 1989 for the rape and violent abuse of five young girls, the youngest of whom was just eleven - now stands accused of being a key player in an international child prostitution and pornography ring whose practices included kidnapping, rape, sadistic torture, and murder.
Dutroux was sentenced in 1989 to thirteen years for his crimes, but was freed after having served just three. This was in spite of the fact that, as prison governor Yvan Stuaert would later tell a parliamentary commission: "A medical report described him as a perverse psychopath, an explosive mix. He was an evident danger to society."
The man who turned Dutroux loose on society, Justice Minister Melchior Wathelet, soon after received a prestigious appointment to serve as a judge at the European Court of Justice at the Hague. Shortly after Dutroux's release, young girls began to disappear in the vicinity of some of his homes. Though technically unemployed and drawing welfare from the state, he nevertheless owned at least six houses and lived quite lavishly.
His rather lucrative income appears to have been derived from trading in child sex-slaves, child prostitution, and child pornography. Many of his houses appeared to stand vacant, though at least some of them were in fact used as torture and imprisonment centers where kidnapped girls were taken and held in underground dungeons.
Some of Dutroux's homes were used in this way for several years following his early release, with a growing body of evidence to indicate that fact to the police. True to form though, authorities failed to act on the information, or acted on it in a way that showed either complete incompetence (according to most press reports), or police complicity in the operation (according to any sort of logic).
Police seem to have routinely ignored tips that later proved to be accurate, including a report from Dutroux's own mother that her son was holding girls prisoner in one of his houses. In addition, key facts were withheld from investigators working on the disappearances and lines of communication were unaccountably broken, inexcusably hindering the investigation.
Police did search one of Dutroux's homes on no less than three separate occasions over the course of the investigation. On at least two of those occasions, two of the missing girls were
being held in heinous conditions imprisoned in a custom-built dungeon in the basement. Nevertheless, the police searches came up empty, despite the fact that the investigating officers reported "hearing children's voices on one occasion," according to the Guardian.
It was not until August 13, 1996, four years after the disappearances began, that authorities arrested Dutroux, along with his wife (an elementary school teacher), a lodger, a policeman, and a man the Guardian described as "an associate with political connections" - elsewhere identified as Michel Lelievre.
Two days later, police again searched Dutroux's home and discovered the soundproof dungeon/torture center. As CNN reported, three years earlier "police ignored tips from an informant who said Dutroux was building secret cellars to hold girls before selling them abroad." And in 1995, the same informant had told police that Dutroux had offered an unidentified third man "the equivalent of $3,000 to $5,000 to kidnap girls."
Incredibly, it was later reported by the Guardian that police actually had in their possession a videotape of the dungeon being constructed: "Belgian police could have saved the lives of two children allegedly murdered by the paedophile Marc Dutroux if they had watched a video seized from his home which showed him building their hidden cell." The tape had been seized in one of the earlier searches.
At the time of the final search, two fourteen-year-old girls were found imprisoned in the dungeon, chained and starving. They described to police being used as child prostitutes and in the production of child pornography videos. More than 300 such videos were taken into custody by the police.
On August 17, the story got grimmer as police dug up the bodies of two eight-year-old girls at another of Dutroux's homes. It would later be learned that the girls had been kept in one of Dutroux's dungeons for nine months after their abductions, during which time they were repeatedly tortured and sexually assaulted, all captured on videotape. The girls were then left to slowly starve to death. Alongside of their decimated corpses was the body of Bernard Weinstein, a former accomplice of Dutroux who had occupied one of the houses for several years. Weinstein had been buried alive.
A few weeks later, two more girls were found buried under concrete at yet another of the Dutroux properties. By that time, ten people were reportedly in custody in connection to the case. Elsewhere in Belgium, the News Telegraph reported that: "The corpses of two women and parts of a third body have been discovered in a freezer at a Lebanese restaurant in Brussels."
As the body count mounted, the outrage of the Belgian people grew. They demanded to know why this man, dubbed the 'Belgian Beast,' had been released after having served such an absurdly short sentence. And to know why, as evidence had continued to mount and girls had continued to disappear, the police had chosen to do nothing. How many girls, they demanded to know, had been killed as a result of this inaction?
Adding further fuel to the fire, as a Los Angeles Times report revealed, was that: "a highly regarded children's activist, Marie-France Botte, claims that the Justice Ministry is sitting on a politically sensitive list of customers of pedophile videotapes."
The same report noted that: "The affair has become further clouded by the discovery of a motorcycle that reportedly matches the description of one used in the 1991 assassination of prominent Belgian businessman and politician Andre Cools. Michel Bourlet, the head prosecutor on the pedophile case, meanwhile, has publicly declared that the investigation can be thoroughly pursued only without political interference. Several years ago, Bourlet was removed from the highly charged Cools case, which remains unsolved."
A report in Time magazine alluded to murky links between the Dutroux operation and organized crime figures. Much later, Marc Verwilghen - the chief investigating magistrate on the case - would bluntly state: "For me, the Dutroux affair is a question of organised crime." Also mentioned in the Time article was the use of secret "underground tunnels," not unlike those described by children a decade earlier at the infamous McMartin Preschool.
Outrage continued to grow as more arrests were made and evidence of high-level government and police complicity continued to emerge. One of Dutroux's accomplices, businessman Jean-Michel Nihoul, confessed to organizing an 'orgy' at a Belgian chateau that had been attended by government officials, a former European Commissioner, and a number of law enforcement officers. A Belgian senator would note, quite accurately, that such parties were part of a system "which operates to this day and is used to blackmail the highly placed people who take part."
In September, twenty-three suspects - at least nine of whom were police officers - were detained and questioned about their possible complicity in the crimes and/or their negligence in investigating the case. As the Los Angeles Times noted in a very brief, two- sentence report, the detainments "were the latest indication that police in the southern city of Charleroi may have helped cover up the alleged crimes of Marc Dutroux."
The arrests followed raids on the police officers' homes and on the headquarters of the Charleroi police force and were based on information supplied by police inspector Georges Zicot, who had already been charged as an accomplice. Three magistrates had also reportedly been interrogated by police investigators.
Just days before the arrests, police had also arrested five suspects in the Cools assassination, including a former regional government minister named Alain VanderBiest. Strangely enough, the News Telegraph reported that: "Police investigating the Cools murder in 1991 ... have been given helpful leads by some of those arrested in the Dutroux case." The Telegraph also noted that Cools "had promised 'shocking revelations' before his death."
On October 14 came the straw that broke the camel's back: Jean-Marc Connerotte, who had been serving as the investigating judge on the case, was dismissed by the Belgian Supreme Court. Connerotte was viewed by the people as something of a rarity: a public official/law enforcement officer who actually appeared to be pursuing a prosecution, rather than a
cover-up. The News Telegraph described him as: "the only figure in the judiciary who enjoys the nation's confidence."
As the New York Times reported, Connerotte "became a national hero in August after saving two children from a secret dungeon kept by a convicted child rapist and ordering the inquiry that led to the discovery of the bodies of four girls kidnapped by a child pornography network." He had also, in 1994, arrested three men as suspects in the Cools assassination - just before the case was transferred to the jurisdiction of another magistrate.
His removal from the Dutroux case fanned the smoldering flames of public outrage; the Times report noted that: "Hundreds of thousands of people had petitioned the high court to retain the judge." Adding yet more fuel to the fire, prosecutor Michel Bourlet was claiming that evidence suggested that a pedophile ring composed of the wealthy and powerful had been protected for twenty-five years.
With the families of Dutroux's victims calling for a general strike, men and women all across the country walked away from their jobs in protest as railway workers and bus drivers shut down public transportation, bringing some cities to a virtual standstill. The Telegraph reported that: "In Liege, firemen turned their hoses on the city's court building" to symbolize the massive clean-up that was in order.
On October 20, 350,000 citizens of the tiny nation took to the streets of Brussels dressed all in white, demanding the reform of a system so corrupt that it would protect the abusers, rapists, torturers, and killers of children. The political fallout from the case would ultimately bring about the resignation of Belgium's State Police Chief, Interior Minister, and Justice Minister - likely sacrificial lambs tossed to the outraged masses to avoid what could easily have exploded into a full-scale insurrection by the people, particularly after police 'incompetence' allowed Dutroux to escape and remain at large for a brief time in April of 1998.
There were in fact calls from the people for the entire coalition government to step down. Months later, an opinion survey by Brussels' Le Soir newspaper found that only one-in-five Belgians still had confidence in the federal government and the nation's justice system. As the Los Angeles Times reported in January of 1998, "the conviction remains stubbornly widespread that members of the upper crust - government ministers, the Roman Catholic Church, the court of King Albert II - belonged to child sex rings, or protected them."
The lingering distrust of the people was not alleviated by the fact that a parliamentary inquiry had, in April of 1997, identified thirty officials who had, as the Times tactfully put it, "failed to uncover Dutroux's misdeeds." Nearly a year later, none of them had yet suffered any repercussions. Additionally, at least ten missing children suspected of having fallen prey to Dutroux's operation have never been found.
The commission's report was, in many people's eyes, a shameless cover-up. As the News Telegraph summarized, the report "said competition between rival forces had prevented vital information from being exchanged and obvious evidence from being followed up" - rather than acknowledge the obvious, which was that rampant police corruption and complicity were to blame.
Just a few months before the commission issued its report, the Telegraph was reporting that: "Grim rumors ... have been circulating that a second paedophile network at least as appalling may have been operating in parallel to that said to involve Dutroux." The bodies of seven children were believed to have been hidden by the ring, which was thought could be linked to Dutroux through Michel Nihoul.
Two months after that, a man named Patrick Derochette and three of his family members were arrested following the discovery of the body of a nine-year-old girl. Rumors quickly began circulating linking this crime to Dutroux as well. Like Dutroux, Derochette had previously been convicted on multiple counts of child rape. He had been committed to a psychiatric institution from which he was released after just six weeks.
Authorities quickly denied that there was any connection between the two cases. In January of 1998, however, the Telegraph reported that: "new evidence from a lawyer involved in the investigations blows a hole in previous police claims that there was no link between the cases involving the alleged child murderers Marc Dutroux and Patrick Derochette." Once again, the connection was said to be through Nihoul.
