I start this true story by asking you to imagine a young girl in the city of “Rosella” in Australia, sitting on a bench in a mall. A man was with her. He got up to greet a friend and walked away a slight distance, chatting with that male friend.
The girl noticed that he had left his cell phone on the bench. She picked it up and dialed 000 and cried for help. The operator (i.e., police emergency clerk) asked the child for her name and address and age, which she quickly gave.
The problem the child reported was that she was being held by 2 men and a woman in a house in Rosella where they tortured her. She said to the clerk “If I run into the Ladies Room in this mall, ground floor, right now, will you send someone to rescue me?”
All very exciting, eh? Made-for-TV movie kind of stuff. I’ll bet you just can’t wait for the denouement, where the cops who happen to be patrolling outside that mall make a beeline for the Ladies Room. They would easily locate the owner of the cell phone as the girl’s incoming call reveals it. So the man can be hunted down while he is still in the carpark of the mall, thanks to his GPS.
Man, this is great. Isn’t that child lucky that she lives in Australia where the whole grisly situation will be rectified quicksmart. It’s gonna be handcuffs time for the man, and an almost simultaneous knock on the door of the kid’s reported address. With any luck, one or two of those other torturers will be arrested. Bingo!
The Dutroux Scandal
Now compare this to horrible Belgium where the torturing of children in a basement occurred for years alongside a steadfast refusal by police to do anything about it.
I’ll quote from Elizabeth Vos who is producing a series of article for Consortium News as a way of helping Julian Assange. Vos wants to show cases where WikiLeaks’ revelations were the key to stopping a crime – a crime the MSM ignored.
Probably the best-known feature of the Dutroux story is that when police were tipped off by a victim as to the use of a basement for torturing girls, the police visited the house but “failed to hear” the girls’ screams. Remember that?
Per Elizabeth Vos (with bolding added, as is my wont):
Dutroux also claimed that Belgian businessman Michel Nihoul had been his accomplice and was his link with a larger criminal enterprise. Nihoul was acquitted of charges connected to kidnappping, but was convicted of participating in a ring that trafficked drugs and people into Belgium….
Nihoul had expressed confidence to The Guardian after charges were initially brought against him, saying that the case would never come to court because he had “information about important people in Belgium that could bring the government down.”
Witnesses in the case identified Nihoul as a violent man who attended orgies where children were sexually abused, tortured and sometimes killed with members of the establishment present. …. The Telegraph reported that Dutroux’s lawyers had alluded to horrific claims of a “satanic cult” that included child sacrifice.
Vos, in her Consortium article goes on to say that in 2009 Julian Assange built up a “Dutroux Dossier” and was threatened with a lawsuit. (Ha ha, who would bring such a case to publicity!). In one case Dutroux asked his brother to help him push a car full of bodies into a canal.
WikiLeaks wrote: “Dutroux was a figure in the European criminal underworld and the case had connections to other underworld figures, to police corruption and from there to Belgium political figures.”
Back to Vos:
The Dutroux dossier also shows large financial transactions, and the presence of international currencies including that of Morocco and Saudi Arabia.. It appears to be a reasonable inference from these documents that Marc Dutroux and Michel Nihoul were not acting alone in their criminal enterprises. Much as in the lack of analysis of DNA material recovered from Dutroux’s basement, the lack of investigation into Marc Dutroux’s financial connections increased frustration over an appallingly inefficient legal procedure.
The investigation was also mired by an unusually high number of deaths in relation to the scandal. These included the son of a judge, police officers, and even the chief prosecutor overseeing the case.
Of course there was the usual spate of suspicious deaths including that of witnesses, of police (probably Yeakey types), a prosecutor (whose death was called a suicide) and the son of a judge. As many as 20 all together.
Now here is an amazing item. Do you recall my Toff’s Clinic article, where I laid the Dunblane massacre of children at the doorstep of such people as Lord Roberston, head of NATO? Vos says, in the Belgian case:
Revelations of corruption … led to the disgrace of Willy Claes, a Belgian statesman and secretary-general of NATO. The witness in the Dutroux investigation known as X3 further identified Willy Claes as one of those present during alleged torture, sexual abuse and murder of children.
…Jean Van Peteghem was yet another death associated with the investigation; he had spoken to authorities regarding his involvement with Marc Dutroux. According to European reports, he died when his moped crashed into a bus. [Think about that.] Dutroux also admitted murdering an accomplice, Bernard Weinstein. The many deaths surrounding the Dutroux scandal fueled concerns that Dutroux was part of a larger pedophile network that had gone unpunished.
The Australian Scene
So, like I said, the girl’s 000 phone call to cops would, you expect, lead to action.
Sorry, guys, you have not been paying attention. Do I have to reprint Rachel Vaughan’s list again of the murders, done by her father? Some of them occurred with her as an eyewitness (or a nose witness if the event was smelly?).
Many were historical by the time she recalled them – when traumatized your brain does you the favor of suppressing torture. But in at least one case she went to SAPOL and warned that a girl age 11 was in trouble. Nobody gave a damn.
(And pardon me, but I might say you do not give a flying eff either, if you dismiss Rachel and other victims’ screams. Fiona Barnett can’t even get the Australian so-called witness protection staff to protect herself and family. Will you help her? You are paying taxes for that organization, aren’t you?)
Rosella Mall
The “girl in the mall” is a story made up by me, but is fictitious only in its details. Gumshoe knows of a few cases where a child has placed the call for help and been ignored.
I don’t mean where he or she is too young or non-English speaking to relate the address and the circumstances intelligibly. I am talking about calls for help to state police in Australia (and federal police if you believe Dr Russell Pridgeon) that are NOT ANSWERED AS A MATTER OF POLICY.
Got it? That is exactly where we stand today. I may be wrong, and if I am, please bring counter-data to Gumshoe as soon as possible.
It is my theory that police commissioners answer to a Higher Power. They also own and direct the so-called Child Protection Services – or the more insultingly named “Child Safety” departments.
The staffs of those groups, whether social workers, typists, or floor-washers, must somehow be given the message: “If anyone reports to you that a child is being injured don’t take it seriously. The kid has got the story wrong if she says Parent A is hurting her. It’s really Parent B, don’tcha know.”
Is There Any Point Raising Hope?
I am a bit disgusted with my habit of always trying to look on the bright side (shades of the movie Life of Brian). I do not feel at all hopeful. GumshoeNews editor Dee McLachlan feels even worse. Citizens call her for advice on saving a child and she does not know what to say. She is beginning to understanding the scale of the enemy.
(One of the mothers in our survey says the CPS boss actually said to her, regarding efforts to get her boy back, “Don’t bother. We always win.”)
Well, anyway, Elizabeth Vos’s article on WikiLeaks’ revelations of Marc Dutroux’s case does have a section called “Beacon of Hope” so I may as well end with a quote from it (though I will feel guilty afterward):
Despite these allegations, there were some who stood out as beacons of hope in the mind of the Belgian populace. Judge Connerotte, the original judge in the Dutroux investigation, was widely perceived as a hero in Belgium because his actions had resulted in the release of two girls; Sabine Dardenne, 12, and Laetitia Delhez, 14, from Dutroux’s dungeon.
The Telegraph reported Sabine had been chained by the neck for 79 days and raped repeatedly. Despite having saved Sabine and Laetitia, Connerotte was removed from the case by the Belgian judiciary for what was labeled conflict of interest after he shared a meal at a fundraiser for the victim’s families.
Connerotte further described his belief that mafia groups had seized control of the “key institutions of the country.” Connerotte discussed the information which was later published by WikiLeaks: “The file talks of seizure of children, foreign trafficking, and perhaps even of cells… The sum of 150,000 francs [£2,500] was mentioned as the price for girls. I was struck by the richness of these documents.”
That the well-liked judge responsible for the release of Dutroux’s only surviving victims would make such explosive statements regarding the case, illustrates the seriousness of the corruption surrounding the scandal, and explains the degree to which the Belgian public was affected by such stark revelations of Dutroux’s crimes as well as the procedural abuses which had allowed him to commit them with near impunity and which failed to investigate his alleged accomplices.
Which Is Not To Say Everything Worked Out
Vos lists other stuff, which I think fits Australia like a glove, at least in the city of Rosella:
*another judge in the case, Van Espen, had personal ties to Michel Nihoul. …
*allegations of corruption and abuse made in the Dutroux case would be corroborated by the chair of the parliamentary inquiry
* the case was so deeply mishandled that it was reported to have inspired a complete “crisis of public confidence in the Belgian government.”
* René Michaux, a police officer, had failed to properly analyze videotapes which were confiscated from Dutroux that would have revealed his involvement in rape and constructing cells in which the kidnapped girls were kept.
*hundreds of the tapes were not processed, some were even returned to Dutroux.
Michaux was additionally condemned in the eyes of the public for having ignored the sound of children screaming when he visited Dutroux’s home. Belgian police admitted this inaction resulted in the death of two of Dutroux’s victims.
Anne Thilly, the prosecutor general of Liege, claimed that bodies recovered from Dutroux’s property were too decomposed to perform DNA analysis. However, the BBC reported that: “… Autopsy states quite clearly that the bodies were not decomposed. Samples were taken. It is just that no one seems to know what has happened to the results….”
I rest my case.
Mary,
We have a hisrory of distressing reports on this topic.
Back 40 years I received reports of children/child being kept in a cage down my street that were/was auctioned off.
I requested affidavit/s but to no avail.
In a neighbouring street, young men plied their ware as I walked the dog. (I varied my track)
The local constablory were within a half a kilometre.
Now is there hope?
I trust so as I have been following the X22 daily reports.
The latest today opines on the Epstein/Ekstein/Mossad (blackmail Inc) case and the thousands plus to be exposed in the US.
The associations of vips to government and evil hopefully will be exposed.
Be patient, ignore the msm and political coverups, they are all going down……. including the msm running dogs.
The public have to be conditionef to reality. It is so evil, a normal person can not comprhend such evil.
Thankyou gumshoe and commentors in assisting with the relevations.
They are less than 1%, we are 99%+.
As a humble aside.
I successfully prosecuted a bastard leading a young child down to the male toilet in Central Railway in Sydney.
It was in the1980’s. Forgotten the sentence.
Caged, wow Ned.
I wait patiently for prosecutions.
I used to take the train into Melbourne city as a kid for music lessons. A fat old bastard started getting on at Collingwood station and proceeded to groom me for a coupe of weeks before I told me teacher about it. I got a few packs of smokes and milk shakes out of him but when he said he was bringing the car in to “drive me home” (which I’ve no doubt was the plan), well that was the point I decided to bail. The look on his face when I slipped from his grasp was priceless. All that grooming and still no biscuit. I still look back though and think how easy it would have been for a kid to fall into it. He was friendly, personable, strategicaly generous and managed to combine fatherliness and best mate into one persona. Ugly as a sack of dog turds though, which given that I was closeted Gay, probably saved the day for me.
So he got on at Colingwood for you, Paul. I am amazed you were able to see thru it.
Now here is a cynical thought. In the Russell video below, the lady on the left says there was a crusade around the schools — someone lectured “Tell if you see trouble.” I am sooo jaded that I figured maybe that is all part of surveillance to flush out who notices what.
I do hereby apologize for prejudging, if I am wrong.
Oh God, is there any end to this?
In this hideous modern world, even the concept of “Gay” has been taken into the Shop, beaten around and spat out redefined and remodelled, such that guys my vintage don’t recognise it anymore. Reality, even the more covert realities, are being redefined and turned upside down in the quest to sow discord and division.

Whilst this is not the X 22 report I was thinking of above, here is a ‘keystone’ to the collapse.

Hey journos, better get on board.
I refer above to the first x22 report in the link with the pocket watch in the opening page.
Hot crime, July 21, 2019
“Patch” in Massachusetts says:
“Police are hoping to take a break from cops and robbers this weekend, imploring would-be criminals to stay inside. Forecasters predict the most oppressive heat will be Saturday and Sunday, when temperatures will flirt with triple digits. The heat index – how hot it feels when you go outside – will reach as high as 112 degrees.
[like 44 Celsius, no worse than Adelaide had this year – how many crimes were committed?]
“Police are banking on that being too hot to break the law. The Braintree Police Department on Friday cheekily asked miscreants to take a couple days off, catering to their 80s nostalgia and love of the martial arts: “Stay home, blast the AC, binge Stranger Things season 3, play with the face app, practice karate in your basement,”
“Malden police followed suit Saturday, putting criminal activity ‘officially on hold.”‘But they did warn they have officers ‘ready and hydrated’.”
Sorry, I shoould have foresworn humor today. There is nothing funny about the facts recounted in the abpve “mall” article. The child in question DOES NOT WANT US TO FIND IT AMUSING.
We are not amused.
OFF-TOPIC (maybe). Tulsi Gabbard is in San Juan Puerto Rico protesting. She says:
[The Governor] is about rampant corruption within Puerto Rico’s government that pretends to serve the interests of its people but instead exploits them, over and over again for profits and power. It is this blatant corruption that undermines people’s faith in our democracy, our country and our values.
Puerto Rico is an example of how decades of neglect by those in power, who put their own selfish interests ahead of the well-being of the people, and who put profits and politics ahead of the needs of its citizens, erodes faith in our democracy and causes widespread suffering.
This isn’t something people only experience in Puerto Rico. Across the country, we share their sense of injustice. We know what it feels like for our voices to go unheard — in San Juan, on Wall Street and in Washington D.C.
That’s why I’m here to support the people taking action to end a multibillion-dollar corruption network involving kickbacks for lobbyists and state officials, preferential government contracts and use of public resources to do partisan work.
ON-Topic (Please excuse the background noise). Heeeeere’s Russell:
.
During the 2006-2010 period I was sent a number of “the-minister-doesn’t-have-the-power” letters re court accommodation of fraud & extortion.
And then the respective beneficiary proceeded to demonstrate that he’d been told to drop off !
Interesting.
Any developments in the Pridgeon case since April ?
What tends to get overlooked is that the word “court” originally meant an elite group of individuals whose job it was to maintain a dynasty via advice, recommendations & related manoeuvres . Obviously the latter might have entailed establishing and maintaining some sort of justice system but the belief that such institutions have ever been inherently benevolent is seriously wide of the mark
What also needs to be kept in mind is that so-called “christian values” were adopted by Rome merely because it had become very obvious that there was no other means of holding the empire together
13 min:“the government feared a revolution”
19 min:“the parents suspected Dutroux was not acting alone”
22 min: “elementary DNA tests were just not done”
35 min: “It was easier to make us crazy than believe us”
39 min: “potential witnesses in the Dutroux affair have died in strange ways
42 min: “in this Country we will never get to the truth”
Unfortunately Aussies don’t have the same propensity as the Euros for making themselves seen & heard
“Unfortunately Aussies don’t have the same propensity as the Euros for making themselves seen & heard”
What say, Berry?
Permit me to be a little naive here, but can older than 18 years old victims band together to form a class action of some kind?
“It is my theory that police commissioners answer to a Higher Power”
I would suggest that these higher powers may be freemasons. Freemasonry is practised widespread enough.
It should be known that if a freemason is offering a job in say, the police force, and 10 people were to apply, he must pick the one who is a freemason.
33rd degree freemasons are understood to be the highest degree possible. But even they are given directives ‘from above’
It is my current working theory that there are 13 levels above the 33rd degree, but it is only available to people of jewish ancestry, as freemasonry is actually based on the (babylonian?) Talmud.
Justin
“It is my theory that police commissioners answer to a Higher Power.” In my current working theory, and my personal experiences I belief that in fact you are right and my “Higher Self” Knows you are Right.

There is always a small minority of people who are courageous enough to speak up and to speak out about injustice and criminality. It is much harder today compared to 20-30 years ago to get a good investigative reporter on the scene to report it honestly. There is abundant omissions, exaggerations, lies and denials with the censorship of simply not bringing up the topic by controlling the narrative.
