According to this video on Desmond, his father was a senior executive at Pearl & Dean https://youtu.be/nh2t8XHb1_0The one had a string of porno mags in his portfolio and the other thought spending money on a child sexual abuse investigation was money spaffed up a wall.
Please don't tell me those kids are safe!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_%26_Dean
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_PiersonPearl & Dean is a British cinema advertising company, founded in 1953.. The initial staffing of Pearl & Dean was by employees of Theatre Publicity and Langfords (The Rank Organisation) who followed the directors when they left to form the company upon obtaining the advertising rights in ABC Cinemas, the first time that group had accepted advertising in their cinemas.
In 1966, Pearl & Dean formed a subsidiary company called Radiovision Broadcast International (RBI) to represent the marketing interests of the American Broadcasting Company radio and television stations in Europe. During the same year, the company signed an exclusive contract to represent the sale of advertising time on the offshore pirate radio stations Swinging Radio England and Britain Radio. This contract with the offshore stations became mired in controversy due to lack of sales and led to the headline-making bankruptcy of the original London management company for the two offshore radio stations that had been created by a private investment group formed by Don Pierson of Eastland, Texas, USA.
More about that in this wikileaks email: CARDEN AND CROOK TESTIMONY ON TRANSLINEAR https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/1976 ... 522_b.htmlDonald Grey Pierson (October 11, 1925 – March 30, 1996) was a businessman and civic leader in Eastland, Texas. He founded the British pirate stations Wonderful Radio London, Swinging Radio England and Britain Radio during the 1960s. He also attempted to create free ports on the islands of Tortuga, Haiti and Dominica during the 1970s.
.... In 1963, he established U.S. Telephonics, the world's first computer telemarketing company and together, with a number of Abilene business leaders, he founded the Abilene National Bank (now Bank One - Abilene) in 1964 and served as the chairman of the board of the bank.
.In 1964, his interests took him to the UK, after reading The Dallas Morning News. The newspaper carried a report of the start-up of Radio Caroline and Radio Atlanta from ships at that time anchored off the coastline of Southeast England... The end result was Radio London, which started transmitting on 16 December 1964 from the MV Galaxy, a former World War II United States Navy US Minesweeper...Between 3 May 1966 and 13 November 1966, Pierson ran radio stations Swinging Radio England and Britain Radio from the MV Olga Patricia (later renamed MV Laissez Faire), a World War II vessel built in the USA as a supply ship. The two stations shared a studio and transmitter...
..Don Pierson re-entered the world of broadcasting during 1981 when he founded radio station KVMX-FM close to his home in Eastland, Texas. ..
Haitian Freeport
In 1967, during the time that Don Pierson was attempting to lease the ship which had been the former homes of Swinging Radio England and Britain Radio, he received a response from the Ambassador for Haiti in Washington, DC. Don Pierson's original plan was to lease or sell the ship to the government of Haiti for it to establish two powerful 50 kW commercial radio stations aimed at American tourists visiting the old buccaneer stronghold of Tortuga island, which is located some 10 miles off the north coast of the main Haitian island of Hispaniola which is also shared by the Dominican Republic.
This offer became a plan to develop the island itself as a freeport and he was asked to assist the government of Haiti to encourage business investment in that poverty-stricken land. After years of research and negotiation, Don Pierson's idea of a privately financed, privately managed free enterprise zone became a reality in 1971 when Haitian dictator François Duvalier (known as "Papa Doc") and the Haitian government entered into a 99-year contract with Don Pierson's company called Dupont Caribbean Inc. This contract provided for the establishment of Freeport Tortuga... Within 18 months Don Pierson succeeded in building the island's first airport, a loading dock for seagoing vessels, a rudimentary water and sewer system, an electricity generating facility, and six miles of paved road. ..portance. the project created jobs for some 400 previously unemployed Haitians and resulted in the establishment of a small school to teach various job skills. During this period he also became Honorary Consul of the Republic of Haiti to Texas from 1969 through 1974.
Tragically, the free port project came to abrupt end in 1974 when, after it was announced that Gulf Oil Corporation was contemplating investing more than $300 million to build a resort on the island, the government of Jean-Claude Duvalier (known as "Baby Doc"), summarily expropriated the project, resulting in its collapse.
A similar venture on the island of Dominica which was attempted in the wake of the failed project in Haiti, also met with disaster following governmental turmoil in Dominica...

More about Desmond :John Peel was a popular DJ who worked for the BBC... [and a pedophile too]
As a young man he worked as a DJ in Texas in a local radio station. Much later he recalled that girls, some as young as 13, used to queue up outside his radio station...In 1967 he returned to England and worked with the famous offshore pirate radio station Radio London [owned by Don Pierson] where he started to develop his talent as a promoter of new bands and sounds...
Ray Teret (1941–) - Former Radio Caroline DJ and friend of Jimmy Savile, he was convicted in 2014 of seven counts of rape and 11 counts of indecent assault during the 1960s and 1970s against girls as young as 12. He was jailed for 25 years.

Richard Desmond is 'violent and dishonest', Bower tells law-makers https://www.theguardian.com/media/green ... d-medialawThe night before, he had held court at Claridges for the launch of his new autobiography, The Real Deal, where friends such as Evelyn de Rothschild and Philip Green rubbed shoulders with Katie Price and Anthea Turner. An eclectic mix.
No-one seems to have noticed a comment made about Richard Desmond, the proprietor of Express Newspapers, in evidence to a parliamentary committee on 13 June.
He was said to be "a violent and fundamentally dishonest man, exactly like Robert Maxwell."
Yeah, reminds me of Robert Maxwell too.

That put this post more in context: Variety UK, an international children's charity of the entertainment industry, Sunshine Coaches and Jimmy Savile.. takes us to Hackremo, Santa Fe Relocation and Prince Andrew https://searchvoat.co/v/pizzagate/3386949LAST night Richard Desmond was awarded one of the world’s highest accolades for his extraordinary generosity. And some of the top figures in entertainment and business were there to honour him...
Sir Evelyn de Rothschild of the banking dynasty, a close friend and fellow philanthropist, telephoned specially from New York to express his delight...
Mr Desmond first became involved with Variety through one of its founders – his god father Dickie Pearl, chairman of the Pearl&Dean advertising agency...
His links with Variety led to his long involvement with Norwood, an organisation which helps the disabled and their families.
“They asked for a Sunshine coach so I went to investigate. I went to Ravenswood Village in Berkshire which is staffed by the disabled and was blown away by the fantastic work they do. I started fundraising for them right away.”
He is now president of the charity. In 2005 he was also touched by the plight of millions of the poorest people in Niger, West Africa, who were facing famine. He decided to donate £1million to the Disasters Emergency Committee, which was co-ordinating aid. Their response, however, did not quite match his for speed...
His portfolio of charities is all-embracing, from boys clubs to Old Ben, the benevolent fund for news vendors; the child-sponsoring scheme run by World Vision to Sir Elton John’s Aids Foundation.
Santa Fe Relocation and their other affiliated companies is the reason I returned to this particular rabbit hole.. More to come..
