ritual abuse and "false" memories, serial child abuse scandal describes crimes Sympathy for the Devil: Ritual Abuse, "False Memories," and the CIA by Nick Bryant
excerpts: ....The ritual abuse described by the children at the Presidio and West Point day care centers was remarkably similar, so it begs a rather disturbing question: Were these children from disparate geographical locations actually abused in the same ritualistic manner or were they conjuring up the same, incomprehensible stories? In The Franklin Scandal, I also discuss a cult called the Finders and a subsequent law enforcement investigation into their activities: On February 4, 1987, a concerned citizen notified the Tallahassee Police Department that he had observed six white children, poorly dressed, bruised, dirty, and behaving like wild animals, in a Tallahassee park. The children were accompanied by two well-dressed white males driving a white 1979 Dodge van with Virginia plates. The Tallahassee police responded to the call and took the children and adults into custody. The children told Tallahassee police they were not allowed to live indoors and were given food only as a reward. The Tallahassee police charged the two adults with felony child abuse, and they were held on a $100,000 bond. The children were placed in protective custody.... In The Franklin Scandal, I also discuss the Extreme Abuse Survey (EAS), an international online survey for adult survivors of extreme abuse that was conducted between January 1 and March 30 of 2007. The EAS respondents were questioned about the use of feces and blood in their ritual abuse, and 1,106 of EAS respondents answered the questions regarding abuse with feces and blood. Fifty percent of EAS respondents said that they had been subjected to abuse with feces, and 63% responded that the use of blood was integral to their abuse. So like the victims of the Presidio and West Point day care centers, hundreds of EAS respondents, who come from a myriad of disparate locations around the globe, convey the same horrific, implausible events.... So the Presidio victims' claim that they were forced to eat feces and drink urine seems preposterous on the surface, but if their allegations are examined in the wider context of extreme abuse or ritual abuse, the children's allegations shed their implausibility, because they are corroborated by multiple sources from widely disparate geographic locations and points in time. However, skeptics of the accounts given by the Presidio victims and the hundreds of other alleged victims who discuss extreme or ritualistic abuse maintain that these memories were planted by therapists--therapists from widely disparate geographic locations and points in time.... Despite the stance of the FMSF and its credential-laden experts, false memories or dissociative amnesia is recognized as a bona fide condition by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which is the bible of diagnosing psychiatric conditions, whereas the false memory syndrome is not. Moreover, multiple studies have corroborated the realty of dissociative amnesia. A 1995 study, published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress, looked at 46 subjects with PTSD. Over time, 35 of the study's subjects reported the gradual emergence of a personal narrative that they believed could be defined as an explicit memory lost to significant or total amnesia, and 77% of those subjects reported confirmation of that particular memory of childhood trauma.... The Freyds recruited Ralph Underwager, a Lutheran theologian and psychologist, and his wife to be co-founders of the FMSF--Underwager and his wife published Issues in Child Abuse Accusations, which accommodated Pamela Freyd's initial assault on her daughter's credibility. Underwager would prove to have a relatively short tenure with the FMSF, because of various statements he made to the press. London's Sunday Times reported that Underwager said ''scientific evidence'' has shown that 60% of women who are molested as children felt that the experience was good for them--he contended the same could be true for boys.... FMSF Advisory Board members, particularly members who Dr. Ross connected to the CIA's mind control programs, are extremely skeptical or completely disavow dissociation, a mental state where traumatic thoughts, emotions, sensations, and/or memories are compartmentalized, repressed and actually separated from an individual's identity. Though the overwhelming majority of the CIA's mind control documentation was ordered destroyed, bureaucratic ineptitude enabled some of it to survive and one set of documents said "special attention will be given to dissociative states." In that specific experiment, the documentation discussed administering electric shock, drugs, hypnosis, and psychological tricks to three groups--psychotics, children, and mediums--to induce various states of dissociation, including multiple personality, which the researchers thought would enhance the subjects' extrasensory perception. _http://www.franklinfiles.net/index.spark?aBID=120661&p=3&topicID=34032594_ (http://www.franklinfiles.net/index.spark?aBID=120661&p=3&topicID=34032594) RITUAL MAGIC: ABUSE - You tube TV show video - describes graphic crimes of abuse _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49aAhsivWrY&feature=related_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49aAhsivWrY&feature=related) describes crimes Del. doctor indicted in serial child abuse scandal 2/23/10 By RANDALL CHASE - DOVER, Del. (AP) - Prosecutors expect to add more counts to a lengthy indictment against a Delaware pediatrician charged with serial molestation of 103 children as investigators urge former patients and parents to come forward. A grand jury returned a 160-page indictment Monday against Dr. Earl Bradley of Lewes with 471 counts of sexual crimes.... Announcing the grand jury's indictment, Attorney General Beau Biden said all of the alleged victims, mainly girls but including one boy, were caught on more than 13 hours of video recordings, some dating to 1998.... The indictment alleges Bradley was videotaping his sexual exploitation of patients as far back as December 1998. Many victims were assaulted repeatedly, some on consecutive days, according to the indictment, which alleges that one girl was raped more than a dozen times over a period that lasted more than a year.... After years of suspicions among parents and questions about his strange behavior from colleagues, Bradley was arrested after a 2-year-old girl told her mother that the doctor hurt her in December when he took her to a basement room of his office after an exam. _http://www.wtop.com/?nid=104&sid=1894686_ (http://www.wtop.com/?nid=104&sid=1894686)
