During a long highway trip last week, I ended up listening to a radio program where the discussion of Weinstein’s depravity led to additional topics which have long been taboo. The mention of An Open Secret by Cory Feldman piqued my interest.
IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND! Even on Vimeo where it is uploaded, it is hard to find with a common search.
It is available for free, at least for a time. However, in this politically correct world in which we find ourselves, caged like rabbits waiting for the hammer, it might not be here long.

You will have to go to Vimeo to watch this, but I hope you do so. It is a very important documentary and it may not be available for long. I just have a feeling it will be taken down.
Hi Maggie,
Yes, this video is hard to find and I ended up using my explorer browser to access Vimeo. Don’t ask me why chrome was restricting access on my comp.
I watched this last night. I think there was smoke blowing out of my ears from the fever brought on by anger by the time I finished it. I pray that these predators and the ACTOR’s who have been preying on these young actors may be exposed. I am honestly wondering about Robin Williams, Heath Ledger (especially him) Micheal Jackson (I bet he was abused alot when he was young). All these stars…what a horror.
I am so glad to see you DarknLovely! And THANKS for supporting my inability to get to the Vimeo when I first tried. I don’t know if you’ve seen the scarcity of commenters below (most are me talking to myself and a couple others)… perhaps it is old news to so many it isn’t worth a looksee or a comment. It is interesting you mention Michael Jackson! I looked at additional interviews with Corey Feldman and he was absolutely clear that he had been friends with MJ and that he had never seen evidence that Michael was a predator. I suspect, like you, that he’d been molested badly as a child, which made him strange in his relationship with young kids. I wish a few others would come forward to help the world grasp that sexualizing our children has serious consequences, not only for the Hollywood child stars, but for our own kids who try to emulate their behavior and end up inviting the wrong sort of attention from working class pedophiles.
Again, thanks for chiming in. I don’t have smoke coming out the ears, but I do have a terrible upset stomach. I have two small nieces who are being raised in an environment where known pedophiles visit. And while I have made my knowledge known through both legal and social networking channels, I can’t control what I can’t control.
By the way? Am now looking at Heath Ledger in a new way.

Wow! what a find on the Heath Ledger article. I knew in my gut that there was something fishy about his death. I actually thought that his role in “Brokeback Mountain” may have triggered some memories in him that he needed to keep buried. I really hope that these real life stories come to light.
I do too. But, like razzle said at one point here, when the stories finally get told, they will be messy. Even Corey Feldman admits his own guilt in being complicit in order to get more acting jobs. He’s one of the few.
When I was a kid, I lived on the farm next to a black family whose ancestor had been gifted part of his white father’s plantation in Mississippi, but had sold it to his half-siblings and moved to Missouri to give his children what he hoped would be a better life. The farmers in the community immediately formed an association with rules that kept him from being a voting member. I can proudly say that my own father refused to join the association, but in all honesty, I admit it caused my siblings and I to face a lot of ridicule and name-calling for being his kids and I resented it quite often growing up. He’d been a POW in Japan and seemed to think he was supposed to continue to fight for what was right instead of make my life easier. Oh, well… life is hard and then you get your feelings hurt. Boo Hoo.
BL will be along soon. It drives him nuts when I chat with people on old threads. EC might even pop in… you there coyote?
I contacted the video’s owner to see if we can allow it to be played here.
Hello, Thanks for your support. Looks like you have the Vimeo link working.
Here it is again: https://vimeo.com/142444429
If you could please be so kind would you mind removing that Youtube link you are using. It’s a terrible pirated unauthorized version out of order with screwed up sound. The Vimeo link is much better quality and updated.
Thanks for your support. You can follow us on Facebook and on Twitter at @AnOpenSecret
Also we have a Youtube channels with a lot of links to interviews and clips and more information. Please hashtag posts with #AnOpenSecret. Thank you greatly for your support. We appreciate it. [img]
Thanks for commenting. I will continue to use the Vimeo link and it looks like the YouTube link is gone. This was an important message and I am glad I posted it, even if I messed up on the timing of Feldmans arrest in relation to its release. I will follow when I can.
Matthew, I see that Ann Barnhardt linked to the You Tube Open Secret on her blog today. Perhaps you could send her a link to YOUR better quality vimeo?

Which side of the San Andreas fault is Hollywood on? I might have to start engaging in some sort of regular prayer to the gods of subduction.
Another article from today. Too bad we wont see more about this is the MSM.
Including just a bit of this Miles. Thanks for the link… you are so right. Why was Barbara Walters so very vicious to Feldman when he brought it up on the View? Why didn’t the sob sisters get outraged? Is it because they all “paid their dues” as child actresses? Just wondering out loud
EXCERPT from The Casting Crib by Jim Goad
As legions of Hollywood actresses step forth with lurid allegations against snub-nosed hedgehog Harvey Weinstein and others over their serial abuse of the casting couch, can a wave of pedophilia accusations against entertainment execs be that far behind?
On Friday, (Cory) Feldman—considered by many to be Hollywood’s top male teen movie star of the 1980s—was allegedly arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession before a show at a bar in Louisiana.
“Can a wave of pedophilia accusations against entertainment execs be that far behind?”
This was only a day after Feldman went on the following all-caps Twitter rampage:
4 THE RECORD: I WILL NOT B GOING ON A TALK SHOW 2 DISCLOSE NAMES OF MY ABUSER OR ANY1 ELSES ABUSERS. SO PLEASE STOP ASKING ME 2 DO SO…THAT SAID I AM WORKING ON A PLAN THAT MAY B A WAY FORWARD 2 SHED SOME LITE ON THIS SITUATION! IF I CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY 2 GET ACTUAL JUSTICE…NOBODY SHOULD LIV THEIR LIVES IN FEAR EXCEPT THOSE WHO COMMITTED THESE HEINOUS CRIMES IN THE 1ST PLACE!

miles,
i just read that and was going to post it–
for those of you who do not like to click on articles,it is by jim goad of takimag,and it’s short–
I watched that documentary last week on Youtube. But, I found something entirely more interesting hidden in the backstory of that story. It centers around a company called Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) which was essentially a dotcom company that went bust. Two of its co-founders Chad Shackley and Marc Collins-Rector are now nobodies. They were a gay couple and Collins-Rector was busted as a pedo. The story that didn’t evolve past the doc was of its third co-founder Brock Pierce. Most would recognize him as a child actor in The Mighty Ducks and First Kid.
[img?quality=.8&height=672&width=677[/img]
I recognize him from being the Director of the Bitcoin Foundation and the CEO of Blockchain Capital.
After the downfall of DEN he started a new company called Internet Gaming Entertainment (IGE) in 2001. Basically, he started playing Everquest and World of Warcraft (MMORPG) after the bust up of DEN. In those games he started “gold farming” and exploiting the online gaming economies within the games. During his time as CEO of IGE he was able to get a $60 million investment from Goldman Sachs. The investment would go sour when Blizzard Entertainment (the company that owns World of Warcraft) along with the ire of super nerds filing a class action lawsuit forced Brock Pierce out of his own company. He was replaced by Steve Bannon, who had originally convinced Goldman Sachs to invest $60 million in World of Warcraft behind the scenes. Steven Bannon would be CEO of the IGE (rebranded as Affinity Media) until he left to take over Breitbart News in 2011.

I caught the Brock Pierce issue (quite cunning at 15…a true sociopath I am sure).
However the connect the dots to Bannon is mindnumbing. I was juggling the political angle regarding fundraising and favor trading. Your revelation suggests something far more sinister.
You are just a few years older than my son. I gotta ask: Do you have any hope that this country can pull out of the nosedive?
My personal belief (and why I am where I am) is that the country will break into 4 to 7 regions. The region in which I reside is heavily agrarian with a spattering of timber-based communities. We chose this area over Montana, where other friends chose to relocate.
Fire or ice: either will suffice.
maggie,
up above you stated that you use a dish for internet-
i have already cut my cable and would like to cut my landline–
what dish company gives you internet alone and approximately what does it cost?
also,is it reliable during inclement weather?
Dish uses Hughes Net for internet. It is DSL (direct satellite link).
Tampa,
There’s this really cool thing now called a “search engine”. You type in some keywords, and the “search engine” gives you a bunch of “links” you can click on and read for more information.
Get up off of your davenport, walk over to that PC your kids gave you in 2002, and give it a go.
We currently use Exede. When we got here, it was the only show in town. Now, Hughes is a competitor, so the service from Exede has gotten better. The service is usually okay when there are storms, but the data usage limitation really BITES. We are getting used to it.
We got a phone via the computer (Magic Jack) which is not being renewed. We have discovered we don’t like to answer phones anymore, so would rather not have one.
Now, we have our mobile phones through Cricket, which gives unlimited data. Supposedly, we could get a cable that would allow us to view shows/movies on our smart tv, but we will probably not bother. We hope to be in a new little country very soon.
Now that’s funny… I don’t care who or where you are.
thank you roy and maggie–
yo mutt,go curl up and lick yourself and get your facts straight–i uses a 10yo laptop that i bought used for $50.00–
I followed the Steve Bannon/Brock Pierce connection to a dead end and headache. If I were to guess Bannon was using his investment in IGE as a very pricey education into the gamer world. I am certain Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies were born out of the MMORPG community. So a $60 million investment by Goldman Sachs doesn’t surprised me. I call bullshit on the idea of Bitcoin popping up out-of-the-blue in 2009 without being on the big bank’s radar. Especially considering it was introduced with a white paper. Nothing says corporate sponsorship like a nifty white paper.
As for hope? Absolutely not.
I think we are coming towards the end of federalism. There’s really no reason for centralized government or banking.
I don’t keep up w/entertainment so I had no idea who Brock Pierce is so I looked him up.There is a huge # of entries about him on the net.
Mark Collins-Rector I had heard of because of a film posted on TBP last year by Jimbo when PizzaGate was coming to light.

Greg Hunter on his USAWatchDog.com site takes on pedophiles regularly. He and his guests say that leverage is what D.C. is all about and if you can compromise some mover and shaker with photos of him or her with a child, you have the puppet you want. Since Trump took office 1500 pedophiles are on the docket. A lot more to come if Feldman gets heard and someone like Weinstein in the Senate gets outed. We know the enemy and he is about to make some very big mistakes as universe makes its corrections.
I HOPE you are right. Is ot true Obama’s daughter interned for the Weinstein company?
So it is like being “outed” for being gay back when there was something wrong with that?
Maggie – I think more people than you realize have watched video. I myself have watched/listened over 2-3 days, kinda hard to do all at once. I am in agreement with Bigfoot, I suspect Harvey the horrible was the weak link, and it’s all about to start spilling over. All of the twisted web between Hollywood, DC, Wall street and the power elite, all the connections or most of them. A shit show to be sure.
But the question for me is not if it’s real, because it is.
Rather do I want them to go to jail and I don’t mean Club-Fed, I mean hard time, real jail, serving as Bubba’s girlfriend/boyfriend – sperm receptacle. Or the death penalty?
I rather fancy the idea of them being reamed everyday for the rest of their days.
No, I’m not feeling charitable or forgiving. So many broken spirits, so many shattered souls.
I met a woman whose grandson was raped by a pedophile who was hosting lots of young men at parties at his hunting cabin in the late fall and winter. Her daughter’s and other parents’ assumption was that it was harmless to let their sons go to this CHURCH MEMBER’S hunting cabin where he wanted to teach them about nature and hunting. After her grandson came forward and pressed charges, three other teens have added their complaints.
I don’t know the details, but she claims “this guy” was put here (moved here from out west) to find and recruit young men for some sort of pedophile ring. I was a bit skeptical of the whole story until she explained he used some type of anesthesia. Then I met her grandson and saw that haunted look in that skinny little kid’s eyes. He will never get over what happened to him no matter how the prosecution and trial end up. And what is even worse? The one place people go to heal? CHURCH.
So, having this old pervert in prison getting reamed daily seems appropriate.
