Free Range Humans Interviews former Franklin Photographer Rusty Nelson
Rusty, we are glad to know you are alive. Many people are concerned about you and wish you well. Thank you for your courage for updating us on what has happened to you.
While working as a photographer at Republican fund raisers, Rusty Nelson found himself in over his head in the Franklin Credit Union scandal. Because his photographs document pedophilia, murder and corruption at the highest levels of world government, Rusty has been relentlessly pursued for the past 20 years.
According to Rusty, without tangible evidence, he was jailed as a sex offender, and subjected to extensive CIA mind control techniques of sleep deprivation, mass drugging, and repatterning by endless loop tapes.
Rusty relates horrific tales of his incarceration.
My interview includes much more detail on Franklin matters, new information on Rusty’s programming, and a walk through the farm house which was violently raided to destroy the evidence that would have set him free. It even shows a photograph of a dapper young Rusty at the height of his Franklin heyday, in a leather tuxedo.
Rusty received a death threat just days before giving this interview. A complete stranger walked up to him in a store and sneered, “Do you want to end up like Troy Boner?” As most of you know, Troy turned himself in to a New Mexico hospital for protection, and the next morning was found dead. He had spoken out about Franklin, then recanted. I was understandably nervous about interviewing Rusty, as I did not want to feel responsible for his death. Michael Corbin also died not too long after interviewing Rusty.
SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL TRYING TO DISCREDIT RUSTY
Rusty risked his life and/or re-incarceration to grant this interview. So it disturbed me when Paul Bonacci said that Nick Bryant, author of the book, The Franklin Scandal, told him that Rusty’s accounts “don’t check out.” I wish I could have a conversation with Nick to clear up what he said and meant by that. But Nick never responded to my attempts to contact him.
It is my belief that Rusty us STILL heavily programmed and monitored. While incarcerated, he was instilled with powerful amnesia barriers. I witnessed what I would call a “searching” expression on his face when he seemed particularly vulnerable to suggestion. This is possibly due to trauma-based conditioning.
Rusty told me that he and Nick Bryant did not have good rapport, resulting in Rusty refusing to grant Nick release for his interviews. Bryant opens his book with a scenario that acknowledges the significant threat to elite powers if Rusty’s photographs are ever made public. But it gives few further details. My assessment of Bryant’s book is that it is a collection of documentation collected to write a book, without actually writing the book itself.
Here is why I am rock-solid convinced that Rusty is telling the truth
In April of 2005, I was blissfully unaware of any details about the Franklin Cover-up, other than what I vaguely recalled from press reports back in the ’80s. Something about day care centers and a credit union. Not much.
Then, I received an email from a newsgroup, which linked to a new interview by Michael Corbin. I waded through the full three-hour interview, and my jaw dropped to the floor. This information, I knew, was IMPORTANT. But few people would sit through three hours. So, I spent an entire weekend capturing the audio and editing it down to 35 minutes.
While trying to upload the audio files to my server, I kept getting disconnected. I went back @ 3:00 am and it finally uploaded with no problem.
The INSTANT I posted an article on my blog linking to the audio files, those audio files received OVER THIRTEEN THOUSAND HITS WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. I sank back in my chair. What just HIT me?
“The ONLY explanation for the activity I see is some sort of government wiretap.”
I called my Qwest DSL tech, and asked if I just experienced a denial-of-service attack. He emphatically stated “NO. The ONLY explanation for the activity I see is some sort of government wiretap.” He transferred me to someone who confirmed “trouble” on my DSL phone line. Then I got the Blue Screen of Death, and ALL THREE of my networked computers were wiped out. The original audio of Corbin’s interview was irretrievably lost. Was that the objective? Corbin is now dead, under circumstances shrouded by questions. Judging by the attempts by many people to obtain a copy, his original 3-hour interview is apparently lost to the world. Thankfully, I saved a backup of my edited 36-minute version, which is posted on YouTube (link below).
WAS SOMEONE WORRIED THAT I HAD OBTAINED PHOTOGRAPHS FROM RUSTY, AND MIGHT POST THEM ON THE INTERNET??
For several days, I had to go to my local library to get my email. To log onto the internet, I had to use my library card, which linked to all my driver’s license info. No matter what time of day I was there, a police squad car always showed up at the front door, parked where he could see me through the glass, with a phone to his ear, for up to an hour, until after I left. By the third day in a row, it struck me. Was I being monitored? WAS SOMEONE WORRIED THAT I HAD OBTAINED PHOTOGRAPHS FROM RUSTY, AND MIGHT POST THEM ON THE INTERNET?? It all became terrifyingly REAL to me.
When I tried to compose a letter on the library computer to a local investigator, asking for help and advice, my words switched from English to Sanskrit. Again. And again. And again. I gave up.
Within days, I discovered that my brand new floppy drive, stored in a backpack in my bedroom, spontaneously developed this bulge in the metal, as if something had been inserted.
The drive developed this bulge without being touched, unless there was a sneak-and-peek in my home. What was inserted? I am still waiting for a volunteer with the expertise to determine what device was implanted, and its intended function. But the timing directly coincided with the other government surveillance activities.
Nick, perhaps you were not able to extract conclusive information from Rusty, but that does not discredit him. If you have proof that you believe discredits Rusty, please present it. You will have a hard time convincing me to dismiss him.
The following interviews are a must-watch for all serious seekers of truth regarding the Franklin Cover-up. PLEASE WATCH IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER FOR THE GREATEST UNDERSTANDING.
MICHAEL CORBIN INTERVIEW
4/12/2005
FREE RANGE HUMANS INTERVIEW
2009
I find it interesting that in Jan/Feb you are stating that Nick Bryant’s book “discredits” Rusty…How could you read it when it was not even completed yet? Now the book is out and you will see that Nick does NOT discredit Rusty. He does (as a journalist with integrity) point out that some of Rusty’s assertions he was unable to document or prove. Great job Nick for your research and professionalism!
Anonymous – Why did you assume I read Bryant’s book? Read my statement again. In fact, I was told by Paul Bonacci himself that Nick told him Rusty’s information “did not check out.”
Rusty has told me that, because Nick treated him so poorly, he refuses to give Nick full cooperation and disclosure. Rather than admit that, Nick trivilizes Rusty, and some extremely important material is missing from Bryant’s book, as a result. I repeat, NICK BRYANT COMES UP SHORT IN HIS CONCLUSIONS. Never said they were wrong. They are INCOMPLETE.
Nick should stop “handling” Bonacci by ordering him to refuse all public contact, other than through himself. If Nick had treated Rusty as a human being, rather than a commodity for personal profit, then he would have been granted more complete information.
There is no way that EVERYTHING could be put into one book regarding “Franklin”. You are mistaken about Paul Bonacci. He has public contact all most daily in a Franklin based chat room http://www.franklinfiles.org Your response seems like you have a beef with Nick Bryant. Have you met him? Your last paragraph sounds like you are describing a previous author of another Franklin book not Nick Bryant.
As an individual that personally knows all the authors and all most all the victims I would hope that your focus would be to promote and assist a just cause rather than trash the only triple documented authority on the subject.
Anonymous [why don’t you identify yourself – and where you come from upon entering this debate? Your IP is Cox Communications in Omaha Nebraska – the very network, majority owned by the Bush family, which paid over $200,000 to buy and destroy the original “Conspiracy of Silence” and had it pulled from airing on the Discovery channel.
Again, you make more assumptions – that I am trashing Nick’s book. To the contrary, I am grateful to him for bringing this subject to greater public awareness. If you are on the side of TRUTH, then surely you understand how many layers of deception there are in this case. I am only presenting the TRUTH about what I know.
You are correct that one book could most likely not include everything – but Rusty Nelson’s photographs are at the VERY CORE of tangible proof regarding the Franklin scandal, therefore, absolutely essential to this particular book.
I have no beef with Nick Bryant. Yes, I have met him and talked with him on multiple occasions. He is what I call “personality challenged.” Not the best with people skills. That does not necessarily prevent him from being an excellent investigator / author. But it did,in this case, prevent him from obtaining a more complete set of documentation.
What proof can you present that the “Paul Bonacci” who is a regular in the Franklinfiles chat room is not some disinfo agent? I believe that he and his lovely wife who also chats there, are authentic. But, as you know, Noreen Gosch has been impersonated in the past. Why not an “invisible blogger”? I have no verifiable proof. Do you?
If you can arrange a video interview with Paul Bonacci, I would be thrilled to present his own words to the public – without being filtered through Bryant.
Paul Bonacci was never handled by Nick Bryant and as far as Nick treating him badly I rather doubt it. As for the Paul Bonacci on Franklin Files that is in fact truely him. As for you wanting an Interview with Paul Bonacci Consider this it. As for you making claims that Nick speaks for me that is false. I Choose not to do Interviews with anyone It took Nick a very long time for me to trust him at all. As for you the things you have assumed about me only confirms that you are not one to do one with.
I know you will doubt who I really am and I do not really care.
No One would claim to be me.
Paul Bonacci
PLEASE NOTE: I have received conflicting messages from different parties who apparently have personal issues between themselves. No one would benefit from posting them publicly.
I stood up for Rusty, which only made me a target. So many deep wounds on all sides. I only wish to help the healing. I am happy to discuss personal matters privately, but only through two-way conversations can we even hope to sort things out.
If it continues to be abused, I will have to remove the option of Anonymous posting.
I trust no one. Parents need to wise up and keep their children close at hand. Hopefully in the next life these sickos will pay.
Why didn’t you just take your hard drive apart in the presence of a professional comp expert? Then you would have known what that ‘bulge’ was. My best guess is a tracking device.
You do however seem to have some of the most credible sounding opinions amongst all the conspiracy theorists out there.
I took it to a handful of computer experts and acquaintances who were computer geeks, but none of them felt qualified to open it up. Not only does it take some expertise to verify what part may not belong, it is also quite a challenge to reassemble the drive so it works again. I no longer have that laptop, so I don’t care if it is ruined. I believe I saved that drive. If you know someone who is up to the task, please contact me. My offer still stands to allow a qualified expert inspect it.
Hey man,
Truly enjoyed your article. Is Rusty still alive? I’ve recently been looking into this scandal after watching ‘A Conspiracy of Silence’.
As of the last time we spoke, end of 2017, Rusty is still alive. He has not been in good health for several years.
If you speak with Rusty again, please ask him if he was anywhere in northern Minnesota during the mid 1980’s. (Or if you recall him mentioning it ) please reply.
May not be the place for this message but im going to post it anyways…… To Paul If he reads this, i want to say that you are one of the bravest and most courageous human beings ever to have walked God’s earth. As well as one of the most honest and genuine people and i have believed every thing that you and Ms. Owens have said from the early to mid nineties or so when i first heard of this evil. I’ve been through much hell in my 49 years in this world. But anytime i fall prey to a little self pitty….. i only have to think of one day in your childhood to snap out of it. What confidence and faith Father God must have in your soul. because as they, he allows us no more than we can handle. God Bless you and the others that experienced such horrific evil.
As of 2017 Rusty Nelson is still alive? If so, and if he is willing, now is the time more than ever to get some more people involved in doing a large scale documentary on this issue. In depth documentary with legit experts and individuals that the public won’t just dismiss. It is amazing how for decades, Mr. King, Aquino, fRanklin Scandal, never come up in any news program, documentary, you name it. Biggest coverall of the 80s
Also does anyone know if the judge in the Bonacchi civil case is still living? How is it that Lawrence E. King still has not paid one cent to Paul?!! King has the money. He lives comfortably in Reston VA. Works with his pedo Omaha pal Thomas Moorehead at BMW STERLING car dealership. He is not broke by any means. Interesting also that Mr. King is a member of the Heritage Church in VA. Nice christian who doesn’t pay his dues that the law demanded he pay.
Hi there,
First ….a big big thank you for letting Rusty Nelson speak up for the truth! You are very courages ……Rusty Nelson is ….and Paul Bonacci as well and all the others….who experienced similar Things! I hope all is well with you! Is Rusty Nelson still alive? Do you have contact with him occasionally? The franklinfiles.org is no longer accessible! I have looked into it ….and it did not work! How is Paul Bonacci doing?? I hope he is well safe and soud!Please Keep up such an essential great work ….and please be safe! If you can not answer me on here in regards of my Questions please let me know!
Thank you!
Yes, Rusty is still alive in 2019. Try franklinfiles.NET instead of .ORG. As of @10 years ago, Bonacci was alive, and married with children, keeping a low profile.
Quick question. Nick Bryant challenged Rusty’s claim that Hunter Thompson produced snuff films. However, Paul said that the producer of his snuff film introduced himself as “Hunter Thompson”, though Bryant claims that it was probably not Hunter Thompson. It should be easy to settle this question though: Did Paul ever see a picture of Hunter Thompson and confirm that it was the same person as the “producer”. If so, the question is settled, especially given other information about Thompson.
Bryant seems to suggest, but does not clearly say, that Paul explicitly denied the identity of the producer on the basis of photographic images of Hunter Thompson.
Does anyone know if Paul ever saw a photograph of Hunter Thompson and confirmed if he was the “producer” he met that horrible night?
Here are some quotes from Bryant’s book (pg 484) “Bonacci didn’t say that the producer was, in fact, the gonzo writer Hunter Thompson, but merely that he introduced himself by that name. To this day, Bonacci doesn’t even know what the late Hunter Thompson looked like. And surely common sense would dictate that someone making a snuff film wouldn’t provide his true name, especially if he was famous.” Though Bonacci never said that the actual Hunter Thompson participated in the production of a snuff film, Rusty Nelson gave an interview where he fingered Hunter Thompson as a snuff-film aficionado… In some of [Nelson’s] interviews,he implicated Hunter Thompson in the making of snuff films. I had spent hours with Nelson before his photography studio was raided, and he never discussed Hunter Thompson’s affiliation with King or snuff films. After those interviews, I confronted Nelson and showed him five pictures- one of the pictures was of Hunter Thompson and Nelson couldn’t identify him.
Your question is not very quick. It is, however, interesting.
It might be difficult to ID HST from a photo for many reasons. If his photo was not at the same age as when they met, if lighting was dark, if he was wearing a hat, glasses, clothing, etc. vastly different from the photograph, or if the parties were overly tired, influenced by drugs or alcohol, or under extreme stress. Personally, it would be easier for me to identify HST by his voice.
That being said, HST’s assistant, Nikole Brown, confirmed that he tried to get her to watch snuff films with him, and seemed to find them entertaining.
HST may or may not have been the producer of the hideous snuff film you reference, but I believe he was asked by Larry King to work with Rusty on a snuff film, and Rusty refused. Perhaps Rusty only spoke with HST over the phone. Since he did not work with him, it is not too surprising that he could not ID Hunter Thompson visually.
It is the Hunter S. Thompson.

Hi there, I’ve been in the rabbit hole of the Franklin coverup for quite a bit now. I’m incredibly intrigued by the bulge in the hard drive you posted, is the info on that hard drive still necessary to you? I’m not exactly a computer expert but I’d be more than willing to take that hard drive apart to try and figure out what’s in there. Not so sure I’d be able to put it back completely though. Love the work you’re doing!
The bulge is in a removable drive, but not a hard drive, so there is no information on the drive itself. And I don’t care if it is ruined. I would like to identify anything which was inserted into it. I have had offers before to take it apart, but not from someone who can meet up with me and film it. Bonus points if it is someone who can identify an object that did not belong there. If you are still interested, please write me via the Contact form on my website.
Mainstream media openly talking about how British star and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen by an accident discovered a powerful VIP pedofile ring in the US and the FBI refusing to investigating the case. Is it Franklin all over again ? blackmail ? or just child rape ? does anybody have the balls and resources to investigate this case ? since the FBI refuses and the media just writes an article about it in late 2018 but doesn’t follow the rabbit hole.

https://www.newsweek.com/sacha-baron-cohen-who-america-deleted-scenes-dick-cheney-jeffrey-epstein-1267152
I have a hard time giving Sacha Baron Cohen credit for this. It is far more likely that he is manipulating this as a cover story to claim he is not directly involved.
I don’t think he is involved, he is the kind of guy that often speaks up for the voiceless and marginalized groups in society.
Las Vegas where he found the conspiracy is also the same Las Vegas that Rusty Nelson and Paul Bonacci witnessed had an airport selling American kids to rich pedofiles from across the world in the late 1980s.
And regarding the Franklin ring……
There is a local tv station in Omaha Nebraska the land of the Franklin Cover-up. They posted a youtube video few years ago on their channel about a guy who had been raped back in the 1980s as a kid by a big time pedofile in the area. So the comment section of the video was full of people wondering if the pedofile had a connection to the Franklin scandal. I wrote a comment few months as the lastest one and now the entire comment section has closed and the old comments deleted by the TV station !! Franklin cover-up is still alive in 2020!! I was shocked !! the media is corrupt and the enemy of the people. The comments were very mild. Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTRKCVtvmpI
Here is why I will never consider Sasha Baron Cohen any kind of hero. He is a deceptive hypocritical creep who serves the same power structure as Jeffrey Epstein: https://www.bitchute.com/video/1Xy-MYfl5ck/ @12:04 I guarantee Cohen does not give a flying flip about protecting children from pedophiles. His tribe does not even consider it wrong.
The floppy drive looks like it was deliberately damaged with a small screwdriver, just to mess with your head; a typical gang stalking tactic. You can look for a how to-video on YT for instructions on disassembly. Just type the model number and “repair” into any search engine. There is probably nothing extra inside. The outer case has a couple of screws, inside frame is an inner mechanism, which mounts/ejects removable media; a central motor to spin the drive; and a floating magnetic read/write assembly.
Thank you for your interest. I have never thought it would be difficult to take it apart. I just wouldn’t feel competent to identify any foreign object which may have been inserted, and what the object was (i.e., GPS locator or recording device). Also, in the event it was anything significant, it would be handy to have it on film and witnessed, to record chain of custody of evidence. Maybe someday those questions will be answered.
Hi Free Range Human, I was happy to see you still posting in 2020! I have been studying the Epstein case for some years. I am wondering if you think the Franklin cover up and Epstein May have been related. It has been alleged Epstein was a spy and involved with arms deals, among other crimes, like his now-jailed co-conspirator, G. Maxwell. Appreciate any insight. Thank you!
Hi Jessica. Thanks. I absolutely believe the Franklin cover up and Epstein’s operations were both arms of the same octopus, blackmailing politicians and business persons for power and control. Franklin photographer Rusty Nelson tied Franklin into Iran Contra before most people ever heard of Epstein. Child sex trafficking was only part of Epstein’s world. Sex was not necessarily a reason why people such as Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, Harvard biologist George Church, and Mega Group members hung out with Epstein. They are mostly eugenecists and transhumanists, interested in breeding and culling the human population, much like the Rothschilds cultivated their beloved rhododendrons. After all, according to prominent Israeli rabbis, we goyim are a lower species, existing only to serve and pleasure them. (e.g., https://tinyurl.com/ydhtv6lb)
Wow! This is crazy. I can’t unknow or unsee what I have learned and seen. It makes me so sad. Thank you for being so responsive to all those that posted here. You have really given such an informative education. And, sorry to pile on the questions but do you know what became of Karen Orimston? I found this but the obit makes her sound as if she is from MI, which could be a cover: https://thecountypress.mihomepaper.com/articles/karen-j-ormiston/
How about eulice “lisa” washington?
If you’re still in contact with any of the survivors, please tell there are many people who think they are HEROS!
Incidentally, “Jessica” is a pseudony. You have my email now. I would love to follow you on Twitter if you are there and tell you who I am too 🙂
Best regards,
J
I can’t keep up with the whereabouts of all the victims. I am glad to hear when they survive and go on to help traumatized children. Karen Orimston was an admirable person, but I don’t know if it’s the same one as in the obituary you linked.

Watch your wallets folks, that’s what this is all about.
Nobody ever goes to jail and we never see any real evidence.
Funny how you wait until the author/interviewer hasnt responded to this thread in over a year to attempt a statement discrediting everything. Im sure thats purely coincidental though…. Just kidding. More than likely you are a shill!!
