Body found amid fears of child abuse ring on Jersey - Police have more than
40 suspects as 140 claim they were victims By Sadie Gray 2/24/08 Police were
searching the grounds of a former children's home in Jersey yesterday after
a child's remains were found in the building. Detectives said they expected to
discover more bodies at the former Haut de la Garenne home in St Martin. The
three-month investigation into child abuse at several government
institutions on the island took a harrowing turn with the discovery yesterday
morning of
the partial remains, believed to date from the 1980s. Police were unable to
say how long the body had been there, how old the child was or whether the
skeleton was male or female. The inquiry into allegations of abuse over a
40-year period on the Channel Island officially began in November after a year
in
which police covertly gathered statements. More than 100 people have
contacted a helpline on the island with allegations of abuse since the
inquiries
began. So far, officers have spoken to 140 alleged victims and have 40
suspectsIn January, police charged Jersey resident Gordon Claude
Wateridge, 76, in
with the abuse of three girls aged under 16 between 1969 and 1979. He was
also charged with the unlawful possession of a firearm. Police stressed they
were not linking him with yesterday's discovery at this moment in time. They
added that further arrests are expected. The allegations span a period from
the 1960s to the early 2000s. Police following up a series of convictions for
sexual offences involving officers of Jersey Sea Cadets began noticing links
between the victims in those cases and other institutions on the island,
including Haut de la Garenne. Mr Harper has said previously that the
allegations
range from pretty severe physical and mental abuse, right through to the most
serious sexual crimes that you can imagine. In the course of the inquiry,
police would examine whether there were criminal implications behind the
fact that the allegations had never been brought before the courts, he said.
Officers dealing with callers to Jersey police's historic abuse helpline have
said that many were furious that their complaints had not been taken seriously
at the time. ...Haut de la Garenne opened in 1867 as the Industrial School,
for young people of the lower classes of society and neglected children. It
was used during the Nazi occupation as a signalling station, reverting to a
children's home after the war. It closed as a children's home in 1987, when
it catered for some 60 young people from Jersey with special needs.

describes abuse  - 'Abuse was anything from rape to torture. It  happened 
every night' Victims call for house to be demolished as they reveal  full scale 
of horror at Haut de la Garenne - By Jonathan Brown and Jerome Taylor  in 
Jersey 2/27/2008 Former residents at a Jersey care home where police are  
searching 
for the remains of up to six children described yesterday how they  were 
repeatedly drugged, raped and abused while supposedly under the protection  of 
the 
institution's staff. Testimonies, including one from a leading local  trade 
unionist, painted a horrifying picture of life inside Haut de la Garenne,  
where more than 1,000 children were housed in the decades before it was closed  
downSome 150 people have contacted police since the discovery of human 
bones 
 at the care home on Saturday. It also emerged that the notorious paedophile  
Edward Paisnell, known as the Beast of Jersey, visited Haut de la Garenne 
during  the 1960s. The political fallout on the island from the affair 
continued  
yesterday. The Chief Minister, Frank Walker, issued a statement conceding 
that  a cloud hangs over Jersey. However, he sought to calm fears of an 
island-wide  cover up by insisting there was no hiding place in Jersey for 
anyone 
who abused  children or, who in any way may have colluded with that abuse and 
no 
stone will  be left unturned to bring them to justice. But the former health 
minister who  was sacked after blowing the whistle on the children's care 
home scandal claimed  senior figures on the island had concealed evidence of an 
earlier sex abuse  scandal at a school. Senator Stuart Syvret handed out copies 
of a confidential  report from 2000 on the activities of Jervis Dykes, a 
teacher at the local  Victoria College, who was jailed for abusing six pupils 
between 1979 and 1996.  Mr Syvret also accused the island's newspaper, the 
Jersey 
Evening Post, of  failing to publish the critical findings, which he had 
leaked to journalists.  The newspaper said the document contained no new 
information and it had decided  not to publish in deference to the feelings of 
victims 
and their  families.

Jersey 'cover-up faces exposure'  - An ex-minister on Jersey says he  will 
expose a cover-up culture as searches continue at a former children's  home 
on 
the island where remains were found. Police investigators at the Haut de  la 
Garenne home in St Martin are focusing their attention on a bricked-up  
cellar.  Former health minister Stuart Syvret told BBC News he will publish  
evidence to show the authorities failed to act on child abuse claims at another 
 
site.  A statement from Jersey's chief minister is also expected.  The  BBC's 
Sanchia Berg said Mr Syvret's allegations will relate to a school and a  secure 
unit on the island.  It is understood the police inquiry into  allegations of 
historic abuse in Jersey pre-date these claims.  The  senator's allegations 
that 
island authorities ignored evidence of abuse of  children in its care have 
been vehemently denied by Jersey's Chief Minister,  Senator Frank Walker, who 
is 
due to address the island's Assembly later.   He has described Mr Syvet's 
allegations as deplorable and said the  ex-minister, who was dismissed from 
his 
post last year over the way he is  alleged to have treated staff and 
colleagues in his ministry, was seeking to  politicise the situation.

Police excavate bricked-up 'Colditz' cellar at  ex-children's home in Jersey 
amid fears it hides a mass grave 2/27/08 The  bricked-up cellar of the Haut de

could be a mass grave. The basement where youngsters  were once held in 
solitary 
confinement as punishment may hold the bodies of six  children, police believe. 
Specialist teams using sniffer dogs and ground radar  equipment have 
identified a number of suspicious sites around the cellar.

Six more bodies feared buried in Jersey home 2/25/08 Six more bodies may be  
buried at a former children's home in Jersey where a youngster's remains were  
found by detectives investigating allegations of widespread child abuse on 
the  island, police said yesterday. The remains were found under a thick 
concrete  floor inside the Victorian mansion, beside scraps of fabric, a button 
and 
what  appeared to be a hair clip. It is believed the child's skull was among 
the  remains found. Yesterday Lenny Harper, the senior investigating officer, 
said a  sniffer dog that found the first remains had identified six other 
potential  burial sites in and around the home. Radar equipment had confirmed 
areas 
of  interest and Harper said he could not rule out the possibility that half 
a  dozen bodies might be foundSince then the police have taken statements 
from  around 140 alleged victims who claim to have been abused while at Haut 
de la  Garenne, as well as 40 suspects. Most of these suspects were respected 
figures  of the establishment who worked at the home in positions of 
responsibility,  Harper said.  When the NSPCC joined the investigation, the 
children's  charity received four times more calls in the first week than it 
had ever 
had  when working on other British operations of this type. Calls came from 
as far  away as Thailand, Germany and Australia, as well as the UK, Guernsey 
and Jersey  itself. Two Jersey police officers are currently in Australia 
interviewing  alleged victims.  The allegations date back to the 1940s and up 
to 
1986,  when the home was closed, but the bulk of complainants claim they were 
abused in  the 1960s, said Harper. Allegations range from physical assaults 
right through  to rape. It is difficult to envisage more horrific crimes than 
some 
of those  that are alleged to have been carried out here, he said.  So far 
one man  has been charged with three indecent assaults on girls under the age 
of 16,  allegedly committed while he worked at Haut de la Garenne, which 
featured as a  police station in the television detective series Bergerac. 
However 
the police  yesterday stressed that the man was not suspected of any other 
crimes, and was  not linked to the remains discovered at the weekend. Jersey 
senator Stuart  Syvret, 42, told the Guardian he had spoken to two men, now in 
their 50s and  60s, who claim to have been savagely physically abused at the 
home. 
They said  it was standard practice for staff to punch children in their 
heads if they  walked with their shoulders slumped, and children were routinely 
beaten with  birch canes, he said. Syvret, a former health and social services 
minister on  Jersey, claims there was a culture of cover-up and concealment 
within the  island's government, the States of Jersey. He said: There has 
been a  long-running systematic failure of child protection on the island. He 
said  since the police investigation began he had heard of abuse dating back to 
the  end of the second world war and right up to the 1990s at Haut de la 
Garenne and  other homes.

Is Ritual Child Abuse Just a Hoax? By Victoria Hardy 2/15/08 In 1984, a  
woman accused employees of the McMartin Preschool of molesting her young son  
when 
he came home bleeding from his rectum, a doctor verified that the child had  
been sodomized and thus became the longest criminal trial in American  
historyDuring the investigation, 460 children reported being sexually 
abused  and 
80% showed physical symptoms including vaginal and rectal scarring, anal  
bleeding and sexually transmitted chlamydia infections. The childreńs stories  
were remarkably similar concerning the nature, location and perpetrators of the 
 abuse. Although the media held our attention, the public was never informed 
that  teenagers and twenty-year-olds, former students of McMartińs Preschool, 
had  also come forward confirming the claims of the children, but were not 
allowed to  testify due to the statute of limitationsNeither side is going 
to like what  I have to say, Bynum told a reporter before he died. Bynum 
wanted to know how  his citation books, the official police records kept from 
his 
time as a  detective, had turned up in Ray Buckleýs desk when he was arrested 
for  molestation. And he could corroborate a key point in the childreńs 
testimonies.  The children had stated their attackers killed turtles and other 
small animals  to scare them into silence and Bynum, while retained by the 
defense, found  numerous turtle shells and other small animal bones buried in 
the 
yard of the  preschool. According to the editor of the Los Angeles Times, Noel 
Greenwood, the  widespread media coverage was a mean-spirited campaign 
organized to discredit  the kids and their therapists. Besides the ridicule the 
media heaped on Judy  Johnson before her death, they also belittled the 
childreńs 
claims... _http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/52590_

Australia grappling with child abuse 'epidemic' 2/12/08  A child  protection 
organisation says the rate of child abuse in Australia has reached  epidemic 
levels. Child Wise has collated research showing one in four girls and  one in 
seven boys experience some form of sexual abuse. It is launching a  national 
campaign to raise awareness about the problem and help parents and  others who 
work with children recognise the signs. The group's chief executive  
Bernadette McMenamin says the silence about abuse has to be broken.

overall cost  of 30,009 cases of child sexual abuse to the Australian tax

cases of  child sexual abuse is: Medical costs at $1 billion, Foster care and

Planting False Childhood Memories in Children: The Role of Event
Plausibility - Kathy Pezdek, Danelle Hodge Child Development, Vol. 70, No. 4
(Jul. -
Aug., 1999), pp. 887-895 Abstract - This experiment tested and supported the
hypothesis that events will be suggestively planted in children's memory to
the
degree that the suggested event is plausible and script-relevant knowledge
exists in memory. Nineteen 5- to 7-year-old children and 20 9- to 12-year-old
children were read descriptions of two true events and two false events,
reported to have occurred when they were 4 years old. One false event
described
the child lost in a mall while shopping (the plausible false event); the other
false event described the child receiving a rectal enema (the implausible
false event). The majority of the 39 children (54%) did not remember either
false event. However, whereas 14 children recalled the plausible but not the
implausible false event, only one child recalled the implausible but not the
plausible false event; this difference was statistically significant. Three
additional children (all in the younger age group) recalled both false events.
Although this pattern of results was consistent for both age groups, the
differences were significant for the younger children only. A framework is
outlined
specifying the cognitive processes underlying suggestively planting false
events in memory.

“Michelle Remembers” by Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder, MD “A NOTE FROM
THE PUBLISHER” pages xi - xiii” “Dr. Pazder’s credentials are impressive.
He obtained his M.D. from the University of Alberta in 1961; his diploma in
tropical medicine from the University Liverpool in 1962; and in 1968, his
specialist certificate in psychiatry and his diploma in psychological medicine
from McGill University. In 1971, he was made a fellow of Canada’s Royal College

of Physicians and Surgeons. He is a member of three Canadian professional
associations and of the American Psychiatric Association as well. He practiced
medicine in West Africa and has participated in medical task forces and health
organizations. He has been chairman of the Mental Health Committee of the
Health Planning Council for British Columbia. A member of the staff of two
hospitals in Victoria, British Columbia–the Royal Jubilee and the Victoria
General
–he is in private practice with a group of five psychiatrists. His
professional papers include a study of the long-term effects of stress upon
concentration-camp victims. Two experienced interviewers journeyed to Victoria
and
talked to Dr. Pazder’s colleagues, to the priests and the bishop who became
involved in the case, to doctors who treated Michelle Smith when she was a
child,
to relatives and friends. From local newspaper, clergy, and police sources
they learned that reports of Satanism in Victoria are not infrequent and that
Satanism has apparently existed there for many years. Satanism in Western
Canada flourished in many areas with activities far more ominous than some of
the innocuous groups now found in parts of the United States who claim some
connection with Satanism. The source material was scrutinized. The many
thousands of pages of transcript of the tape recordings that Dr. Pazder and
Michelle
Smith made of their psychiatric sessions were read and digested; they became
the basis of this book. The tapes themselves were listened to in good
measure, and the videotapes made of some of his sessions were viewed. Both the
audio and video are powerfully convincing. It is nearly unthinkable that the
protracted agony they record could have been fabricated.” Thomas B. Congdon,

theorized that allegations arising within the context of a custody dispute
have a “high likelihood of being false,”5 and went so far as to state that he

ranks eighth per capita nationwide in the number of  transactions of child 
pornography over the Internet, according to software that  tracks peer-to-peer 
file 
transactions. Since 2005, the ICAC task forces have  identified more than 
215,000 folders containing child pornography that  Virginians have shared on 
Web 
sites commonly used to share music and other  filesOfficers have identified 
1,956 computers containing child pornography  in Virginia Beach _ the most of 
any Virginia locality. The problem exists even  in the state's small towns, 
with tiny Pound in far southwest Virginia being home  to 53 unique hard drives 
containing child porn. The ICAC team has identified one  computer in Sandston 
near Richmond that has made at least 187 transactions,  sharing pictures and 
videos of infants and young children being brutally raped  and molested.A 
2005 Department of Justice study suggested that 55 percent of  those convicted 
of possessing child pornography admitted to illegal contact with  children. The 
ICAC task forces have found that local children are the victims in  about 30 
percent of the  discovered files. _http://www.wtop.com/?nid=600sid=1331687_

Packaging abuse of women as entertainment for adults -  Cruel, degrading 
scenes `normalized' for generation brought up in dot-com world  1/26/08 Antonia 
Zerbisias Living ColumnistAccording to the Internet Filter  Review, 
worldwide 
porn revenues, including in-room movies at hotels, sex clubs  and the 
ever-expanding E-sex world, topped $97 billion in 2006. That's more than  the 
revenues of the top technology companies combined: Microsoft, Google,  Amazon, 
eBay, 
Yahoo!, Apple, Netflix and EarthLinkEvery second, 28,258  Internet users 
are viewing pornographyThat's a lot of women who, for  whatever their 
reasons, and most likely they are economic, are being  torturedThere's a 
huge 
market for the domination of womenRobert Jensen,  a journalism professor at 
the University of Texas at Austin, has been tracking  the trend for years. In 
his new book Getting Off: Pornography and the End of  Masculinity, he writes 
with alarm about how the cruelty line in mass-market  pornography is driving 
up. At the same time, the normalization line – the  measure of the 
acceptance of pornography in the mainstream of contemporary  culture – is also 
up, 
sharply. If pornography is increasingly cruel and  degrading, why is it 
increasingly commonplace instead of more marginalized? he  writes. In a 
society 
that purports to be civilized, wouldn't we expect most  people to reject sexual 
material that becomes evermore (sic) dismissive of the  humanity of women? How 
do we explain the simultaneous appearance of more, and  increasingly more 
intense, ways to 
humiliate women sexually and the rising  popularity of the films that present 
those activities? _http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/296391_

Idaho Releases Yearly Report on Sexual Abuse 1/24/2008 The Idaho Attorney
General's yearly report on sexual abuse cases is out. It shows one disturbing
fact that has not changed in all these years. It's that the abuser is almost
always a person known and trusted by the victim and the victim's family, as
with the Bonneville County case of Scott Wolfley, now admitting to molesting a
young relative. Of all 430 criminal cases filed in Idaho between July 2006
and June 2007 against adult and juvenile defendants, there were just three
cases in which the defendant was a stranger to the victim. Seventy-two percent
were acquaintances, 8% were natural parents, 6% were step-parents and 9% were
other relatives. The full report :

1/23/08  MEXICO CITY — The victims of human sacrifice by Mexico's  ancient 
Mayans, who threw children into water-filled caverns, were likely boys  and 
young men not virgin girls as previously believed, archeologists said on  
Tuesday. 
The Maya built soaring temples and elaborate palaces in the jungles of  
Central America and southern Mexico before the Spanish conquest in the early  
1500s. Maya priests in the city of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan peninsula  
sacrificed children to petition the gods for rain and fertile fields by 
throwing  them 
into sacred sinkhole caves, known as cenotes.

City cops drove probationers to Ken Seguin's place: van Diepen1/23/08 
Some city cops used to drop probationers off at the home of a probation  
officer 
who would later be accused of sexual abuse, a recently retired probation  
officer maintained during his cross-examination at the Cornwall Public Inquiry  
Tuesday. During Jos van Diepen's testimony, he briefly mentioned that he  
remembered hearing his colleague Ken Seguin tell him members of the Cornwall  
police 
used to drop probationers off at his home sometime in the 1970s. Peter  
Manderville, a lawyer for the city police, asked van Diepen if he could recall  
anything more about this practice - like who the cops were that would drop  
probationers off at Seguin's home. The probation officer said it was a  
well-known 
fact in the Cornwall probation office, and that Seguin would have  talked 
about it before his suicide in 1993. Seguin was never charged with any  abuse, 
but 
was accused of sexually abusing probationers in his charge. (from the

describes crimes  - Attorneys file to free priest charged with nun's  murder 
- Petition hints deceased cleric had role in her killing  1/16/08 By  David 
Yonke - Blade Staff Writer Attorneys for Gerald Robinson have filed a  court 
petition seeking to overturn the Toledo priest's 2006 murder conviction  and 
raising suspicions about another Catholic cleric, now deceased, who worked  
with 
Robinson as a chaplain at the hospital where the crime occurred in 1980.  The 
petition, filed in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, quotes Sister Dorothy  Mari
e Balabuch, a Sylvania Franciscan nun, as saying she worked as a housekeeper  
for the Rev. Jerome Swiatecki and described the priest as an immoral man 
with  a very bad temper and a fondness for knives and hard-core 
pornography. 
The  court document also quotes a security guard, hired two days after the 
murder at  the former Mercy Hospital, saying that in my youthful zeal and my 
desire to  catch the perpetrator, I accused Father Swiatecki of murdering 
Sister 
Margaret  Ann Pahl.Father Swiatecki, a Toledo native whose hobby was wood 
carving, was  ordained a priest in 1941 and died in 1996 at age 83Retired 
Deputy Chief Ray  Vetter said he recalls Father Swiatecki as having had an 
airtight alibi.  Police reports from 1980 said Father Swiatecki was eating 
breakfast with several  nuns in the hospital's dining room at the time of the 
murder. Robinson, now 69,  was found guilty May 11, 2006, and is serving a 
15-years-to-life sentence at  Hocking Correctional Facility in southern Ohio. 
Sister 
Margaret Ann, 71, had  been strangled to the verge of death, then stabbed 31 
times in the sacristy of  the Catholic hospital on Holy Saturday, 1980.

[CTRL] Pitcairn - The Island Paradise With a Dark History

2008-01-18 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-



The Island Paradise With a Dark History  By Martin Croucher   Epoch Times UK 
Staff  1/16/08 But hidden beneath the friendly smiles of the  47 inhabitants 
is a dark secret.  In 2004, six men—a third of the island's  adult male 
population, including Pitcairn mayor Steve Christian, a direct  descendant of 
Fletcher Christian's—were been convicted under English law of 33  sexual 
offences, 
some dating back 40 years.  The trials revealed that for  generations the 
islanders have had a culture of rape, adultery and child-abuse  involving 
children 
as young as five.  As Pitcairn is one of the last  remaining British colonies, 
detectives from Kent launched an 18-month  investigation that would prove to 
be one of the most complex, and costly, in  British legal history. Detectives 
Rob Vinson and Peter George were recently  accorded in the Queen's New Year's 
honours list.  The detectives found  every woman, born and bred on Pitcairn had 
experienced some form of sexual abuse  in their lives. Many said that it 
would be impossible to find a girl over the  age of 12 on the island who had 
not 
been the victim of sexual abuse. But during  the police investigation, 
eyewitnesses on the island said that locals did not  believe what they were 
doing was 
wrong and claimed it was a part of their  cultureHowever, more than 200 
years on and with little contact with the  outside world, the islanders had 
developed a degenerate sexual culture where  rape, adultery and child abuse 
were 
pervasive.  That culture began to  unravel in 1996 when Dennis McGookin and 
Peter George, two detectives from Kent  police, visited the island on the 
allegation that Shawn Christian, one of the  children of Pitcairn governor 
Steve 
Christian, raped an 11-year-old. The case  collapsed after Shawn claimed 
consensual sex and provided love letters to prove  it. The detectives, who were 
the 
first British officers ever to set foot on the  colony, raised concerns that 
the 
legal system there was at best rudimentary, and  not fit to deal with serious 
crime. At the time Pitcairn barely saw itself as  under British law, having 
never seen an attorney or judgeOne her second  visit, in 1999, Ms Cox was 
confronted with allegations that Shawn and brother,  Randy Christian, had raped 
an 11-year-old girl.   The message went out  to London and the detectives were 
back, although this time Rob Vinson  accompanied Peter George. However the 
investigation was initially frustrated  when the brothers denied the 
allegations 
and they were not able to find any  leads. Just as they were about to leave 
they decided to interview a friend of  the accused who was living in Auckland, 
New Zealand. She said she knew nothing  about the case but as the detectives 
turned to leave she mentioned almost in  passing that she had been raped when 
she was 10. She later became the main  whistleblower of the case and provided 
the detectives with an almost endless  ream of leads. It was then that the 
culture of abuse unravelled. DCI Vinson  said: She told us that you wouldn't 
find 
any girl on the island of the age of  12 who hadn't gone through that 
experience. Every Pitcairn girl that we spoke to  who was born and bred on the 
island 
described some kind of abuse. As we were  questioning witnesses they were 
giving us more and more leads, and it got bigger  and bigger. It just 
snowballed. Aided by a New Zealand policewoman, the Kent  detectives hunted 
down every 
woman who had come of age on Pitcairn in the past  40 years and 24 agreed to 
make statements.  The officials uncovered more  than 100 allegations of sexual 
abuse against 31 men, four of who had since died.  More than 30 of the 
complaints could be defined as rape under English law, all  against girls who 
were 
under-age at the time. A British social worker who  visited the island at the 
time in 2000 described a community deeply shaken by  the inquiry. She dug deep 
into the culture on the island and revealed a way of  life where sex permeated 
everything. She told of a society where childhood sex  games and abuse were 
commonplace, as were teenage pregnancies and abortions.

Memories of childhood abuse: dissociation, amnesia, and corroboration. Chu  
JA, Frey LM, Ganzel BL, Matthews JA Am J Psychiatry. 1999  
May;156(5):749-55Dissociative Disorders and Trauma Program, McLean 
Hospital,  Belmont, MA 
02478, USAParticipants were 90 female patients admitted to a  unit 
specializing in the treatment of trauma-related disorders. Participants  
completed 
instruments that measured dissociative symptoms and elicited details  
concerning 
childhood physical abuse, sexual abuse, and witnessing abuse.  Participants 
also 
underwent a structured interview that asked about amnesia for  traumatic 
experiences, the circumstances of recovered memory, the role of  suggestion in 
recovered memories, and independent corroboration of the memories.  RESULTS: 
Participants reporting any type of childhood abuse demonstrated  elevated 
levels of 
dissociative symptoms that were significantly higher than  those in subjects 
not reporting abuse. Higher dissociative symptoms were  correlated with early 
age at onset of physical and sexual abuse and more  frequent sexual abuse. A 
substantial proportion of participants with all types  of abuse reported 
partial or complete amnesia for abuse memories. For physical  and sexual abuse, 
early age at onset was correlated with greater levels of  amnesia. Participants 
who reported recovering memories of abuse generally  recalled these experiences 
while at home, alone, or with family or friends.  Although some participants 
were in treatment at the time, very few were in  therapy sessions during their 
first memory recovery. Suggestion was generally  denied as a factor in memory 
recovery. A majority of participants were able to  find strong corroboration 
of their recovered memories. CONCLUSIONS: Childhood  abuse, particularly 
chronic abuse beginning at early ages, is related to the  development of high 
levels 
of dissociative symptoms including amnesia for abuse  memories. This study 
strongly suggests that psychotherapy usually is not  associated with memory 
recovery and that independent corroboration of recovered  memories of abuse is 
often present. _http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10327909?dopt=abstractplus_

-Caveat Lector-



Subject of 'Friedman' Film Loses Appeal  1/13/08 Central Islip, N.Y.  (AP) - 
A federal judge has rejected a man's bid for exoneration in a  
child-molestation case explored in a noted documentary film, saying he filed 
his  appeal too 
late.  Jesse Friedman's appeal stemmed from the Oscar-nominated  2003 film, 
Capturing the Friedmans. His lawyers said the documentary revealed  evidence 
that prosecutors had wrongfully withheld — that at least one of the  children 
who accused Friedman did so under hypnosis arranged by police. A  teenage 
Friedman and his father, Arnold, pleaded guilty in 1988 to molesting  children 
during computer classes in the basement of their home in Great Neck, on  Long 
Island. Jesse Friedman, now 38, was paroled in 2001; his father committed  
suicide 
in prison in 1995. The son has tried for years to reverse his guilty  plea. 
U.S. District Court Judge Joanna Seybert agreed last year to consider  whether 
his latest appeal was filed within legal time limits, as a first step  toward 
a potential hearing on questions about the hypnosis. She ruled Jan. 4  that 
the June 2006 appeal was untimely, saying Friedman's lawyers knew in 1988  
that a therapist had worked with the children in eliciting details of the  
alleged sex abuse Under federal law, the appeal had to be filed within a  
year 
after its factual basis could have been discovered through the exercise of  
due diligence.A prosecutor said Friedman's appeal was meritless, adding  
that the therapist has given sworn testimony denying having hypnotized any of  
Friedman's accusers. Further review of this issue is simply not warranted,  
assistant Nassau County district attorney Judith Sternberg said Friday. 
Pressman  said his disappointed client — who is still barred from parks and 
other 
places  children frequent because he is classified as a violent sexual predator 
— 
would  appeal further.

CAPTURING  THE FRIEDMANS
Documentary or Whitewash?
Have you seen Andrew Jarecki's  award-winning film? Did it leave you with the 
impression that Jesse Friedman and  maybe his father, Arnold, were victims of 
a witch hunt conducted by an inept and  overzealous investigation team? That 
conclusion is no accident. Jarecki omitted  incriminating evidence that might 
have made you think differently about Jesse  and Arnold. Consider this 
information, and decide for yourself if this  well-reviewed documentary can 
be 
trusted.

David L. Corwin...Erna Olafson...This article presents the history, verbatim
transcripts, and behavioral observations of a child's disclosure of sexual
abuse to Dr. David Corwin in 1984 and the spontaneous return of that
reportedly
unrecallable memory during an interview between the same individual, now a
young adult, and Dr. Corwin 11 years later. Both interviews were videotape
recorded. The significance, limitations, and clinical implications of this
unique
case study are discussed. Five commentaries by researchers from differing
empirical perspectives who have reviewed these videotape-recorded interviews

prevalence in Great Britain. Baker AW, Duncan SP. Of 2019 men and women (aged
15 years
and over) interviewed as part of a MORI Survey of a nationally
representative sample of Great Britain, 10% reported that they had been
sexually abused
before the age of 16 (12% of females; 8% of males). There was no increased
risk
associated with specific social class categories or area of residence. For
all types of sexual abuse, the mean age of victims when first abused was
significantly lower for females. Subjective reports of the effects of sexual
abuse
indicated that the majority (51%) felt harmed by the experience, while only
4% reported that it had improved the quality of their life. We estimate that
there are over 4.5 million adults in Great Britain who were sexually abused
as children, and that a potential 1,117,000 children will be sexually abused
before they are 15 years of age. At least 143,000 of these will be abused

[CTRL] alleged Cornwall pedophile ring, Int.Society...Study of Dissociation journal

2008-01-10 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

Ex-cop who alleged Cornwall pedophile ring refuses to testify at inquiry
1/9/08 DUNCAN, B.C. - A former police officer credited with bringing to light
explosive allegations of widespread child sexual abuse in eastern Ontario says
he's convinced the dark stories that have divided the community are true -
but he says he won't testify before a public inquiry because he says the
justice system hasn't listened to him for 15 years. Perry Dunlop, a decorated
former officer from Cornwall, Ont., has been scheduled to testify but he told
The
Canadian Press in an exclusive interview he won't be there because he's lost
faith in the justice system. He said he's prepared to face the consequences
if he's arrested. Dunlop, 46, was convicted of contempt of court last
September for his earlier refusal to testify at the inquiryI have a lot
of
reasons, but I'm not going to testify, he said. I'm saying our judicial
system
is broken and they haven't listened to me for 15 years, and I have no faith.
Absolutely no faith, none. The Ontario government inquiry was launched in F
ebruary 2006 and is scheduled to conduct hearings until August 2008. The
inquiry is looking into how authorities responded to dozens of accusations
that
men in eastern Ontario had sexually abused children over decadesDunlop has
rarely spoken publicly since he first made the allegations in 1993.
Prominent members of the Cornwall region's Roman Catholic clergy were among
those
accused of being part of a pedophile ring that some alleged had existed in
Cornwall since the early 1960s. In August 2001, Ontario Provincial Police
ended
a four-year probe of the alleged ring, dubbed Project Truth, concluding the
allegations were baseless. Project Truth ended after 672 people were
interviewed and 69 complainants were identified. Some of the allegations
stemmed back
to the 1960s. As a result of the probe, 15 people were charged with a total
of 115 offences ranging from gross indecency to indecent assault on a male
and sexual assault on a male. Many individuals were later found guilty of
paying underage boys for sex; two were found guilty of possessing child
pornography. But when all was said and done, courts and the police could find
no
evidence the large group of accused men worked together as a group. Dunlop
raised the child sexual abuse allegations in 1993 after discovering what he
believed was a cover-up of an abuse case involving a young boy and a church
official. He said he was told not to pursue the matter, but he couldn't let
it go
and it eventually cost him his job. Dunlop was once named officer of the year
in Cornwall. Absolutely there was a pedophile ring in Cornwall, he said
in the interview this week.

[CTRL] Rebuttal to Brain stains article, Jesuits agree to settlement

2008-01-08 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-



Rebuttal to Brain stains article : November 30, 2007  - Scientific  American, 
Inc. Attn: Editor and Chief 415 Madison Ave. New York, NY 10017 Dear  Editor: 
 Regrettably the authors of the article “Brain stains: Traumatic  therapies 
can have longlasting effects on mental health,” Kelly Lambert and  Scott O. 
Lilienfeld chose to provide a onesided, misleading and unscientific  account of 
the dissociative disorders (DD), including dissociative identity  disorder 
(DID). Although we will not comment on the specific case they present,  we 
would 
like to correct some of their misleading statements and assumptions,  and 
thereby give the reader a more accurate view of this field and of the overt  
and/or 
hidden family problems that most often contribute to the development of  this 
kind of psychopathology. Readers may get the impression from the article  
that there is no research supporting the validity and reliability of DID when,  
in fact, various studies show that: - DID fulfills the same requirements for  
diagnostic validity as other psychiatric diagnoses (e.g., 1). - The validity of 
 the DID diagnosis is further supported by cognitive (e.g., 2) and 
brainimaging  research (e.g., 3-6). - Epidemiological studies have found DID in 
both 
Western  and non-Western cultures,  thus the suggestion that it is a Western  “
culture bound” syndrome contradicts the evidence (e.g., 7-8). - Dozens of  
studies using various methodologies, retrospective and prospective, support the 
 
reality of people forgetting and later recovering traumatic memories (e.g., 
e.g. 
 9-10). - Various studies (e.g. 11) have shown independent corroboration (e. 
g.,  through longterm scars, medical archives, etc.) of many DID patient 
accounts of  earlier trauma. - Epidemiological studies show that the 
dissociative 
disorders,  including DID, are not uncommon in both clinical and community 
samples from  various cultures (e.g., 12-13).- Many individuals with DID were 
diagnosed by  therapists who did not use hypnosis or initially believe in the 
diagnosis (e.g.,  14-15). - The authors repeatedly talk about a “recovered 
memory 
therapy,” yet  provide no evidence that such a therapy modality exists. We are 
not aware of any  colleagues who have ever been trained in such a therapy, 
nor can we find  evidence for that label in any of the training programs of 
which we are aware.  The authors appear to be engaging in a straw-man argument 
here.  The  preceding is by no means an exhaustive list of the myriad ways in 
which the  article ignores relevant literature. Although it may be true that a 
clinician  could shape or exacerbate an individual’s symptoms, iatrogenic 
effects can occur  in the treatment of any kind of condition, medical or 
psychological. Such a  proposition does not invalidate the existence of 
patients 
suffering from true  DID. The finding that many more patients are diagnosed 
with DID 
now than were  decades ago may be consistent with an iatrogenic hypothesis, but 
an alternative  -- and perhaps more compelling -- hypothesis would be that 
valid and reliable  measures of DID have only recently been developed, 
available, and employed in  this and other cultures. The fact that one of the 
authors 
of this article is an  Associate Editor of Scientific American Mind makes these 
scholarship-related  infractions especially problematic. The readership 
deserves much better than  partisan, biased tracts. - from the President and  
Executive Council,  International Society for the Study of Trauma and 
Dissociation

Jesuits agree to settlement in abuse case By Janet I. Tu  Seattle  Times 
religion reporter  1/4/08 The Jesuit order in the Northwest has  agreed to pay 
$4.8 million to 16 Native Americans who were sexually and  physically abused 
years ago when they were students at a boarding school near  Omak. The Roman 
Catholic order - formally named the Society of Jesus - and  attorneys for the 
15 
women and one man announced the settlement Thursday. It  comes two months after 
the Jesuits agreed to a record $50 million settlement  stemming from abuses in 
Alaska.  The victims in Thursday's settlement had  all boarded at the St. 
Mary's Mission and School on the Colville Indian  Reservation. They say they 
were 
abused in the late 1960s and early 1970s by a  Jesuit priest and a Jesuit 
brotherIn November, the province agreed to pay  $50 million to 110 Alaska 
Natives - believed to be the largest settlement by a  religious order in the 
Catholic Church abuse cases. Insurance is paying $45  million of that amount.

Opinion - Take action against childhood sexual abuse - DL-Online - 1/2/08
Recent news stories about sexual abuse of children in Alexandria and elsewhere
should do more than make us disgusted and angry. It should make us act.
Consider something that happened in Duluth about a year ago: A 70-year-old man
was arrested for sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl who was being cared for at
a child care business run by the man and his wife. When an investigator asked
the man, “Why a child?” The man replied, “Because it’s easy. Sadly,
statistics indicate just how “easy” it is: More than 39,000 sexual assaults
are
estimated to be committed each year in Minnesota — the majority against
children. One in four girls and one in six boys will have been abused by the
age of
18. Some estimates put the number of childhood sexual abuse survivors in
America at 39 million.

Syndrome Epidemic - Kenneth S. Pope  ABSTRACT: Careful assessment of  purported 
scientific discoveries and the resulting interpretations is a  responsibility 
of 
every scientist. The area of memory, particularly memory for  abuse, has 
recently seen new, highly publicized claims. These include the  proposal of a 
new 
diagnostic category, the false memory syndrome; claims about  the ease with 
which extensive autobiographical memories can be implanted; and  estimates of 
the 
extent therapists use risky practices likely to cause false  memory syndrome.

to promote them. Implications for clinical standards and  malpractice are

[CTRL] Hosanna Church ritual abuse case

2007-12-27 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-



describes graphic crimes of abuse - Agents graphically describe abuse   By 
Don Ellzey 11/30/07 In an interview with Bernard at the Tangipahoa Parish  
Sheriff's Office Substation on June 10, 2005, Edwards said he was told by  
Bernard 
that during the diaper changes he began touching his infant daughter.  The 
touching became oral sex and eventually penetration. Edwards said Bernard  
claimed to have been molested as a child, which led him to molest  children.  
Federal prosecutor Lisa Marie Freitas, now with the Child  Exploitation 
Division of 
the U.S. Department of Justice, was a special agent  assigned to the FBI's New 
Orleans office in 2005.  Freitas testified that  she, too, interviewed 
Bernard, who told her that he had done with his daughter  everything a human 
could 
do to the body of another human. Much of the abuse  occurred while his wife, 
Nicole Bernard, was working. She said Bernard told her  that he was the first 
to 
penetrate his daughter and Louis Lamonica was the  second.  She said Bernard 
described the rituals at the church, although the  rituals were not the point 
of the FBI investigation. Freitas said he volunteered  the information. 
According to Bernard, the rituals took place in what was called  “the room,” 
which 
was the church's youth room. He described how six adults would  line up 
shoulder to shoulder and perform sex acts on his daughter or other  children, 
who 
were passed down the line. The rule was that there would be no  penetration or 
injury.  The rituals had a Satanic theme, including a  Pentagram, the use of 
animals and animal parts such as chicken feet and the use  of animal blood. 
Freitas said that according to Bernard, Patricia Pierson and  Robin Lamonica, 
two 
defendants in the case, put animal blood on his daughter  during one of the 
rites. She said Bernard claimed Pierson and Lamonica also  sexually abused his 
daughter. He said animal blood was also put on other  children, Freitas said.

this project has documented 35 cases in which recovered memories of  traumatic

Trial told of a rape on grave - Pastor on sex charges By Sam Pazzano,  Courts 
Bureau - 12/20/07 - A second woman has taken the stand and told of being  
raped five times by Rev. Frank Lawrence, who she claimed impregnated her in an  
assault on a fresh grave site during a ritual to cleanse her of evil spirits.  
The mother of three, including a 5-year-old son by Lawrence, told the jury  
yesterday the first three times the Toronto pastor raped her was at his home  
during spiritual baths to purge evil spirits.   Lawrence later took  her to a 
fresh grave site for another ritual in the spring of 2001 and raped her  again, 
she testified.  The woman, 45, admitted she forgot about a fifth  rape for 
several years and recalled it while testifying at the preliminary  hearing last 
summerRobbins maintained that she and Lawrence had a consensual  sexual 
relationship that soured after she sought child support.  Lawrence,  59, the 
founder of the Toronto Mount Zion Revival Church of the Apostles, has  pleaded 
not 
guilty to sexually assaulting the two women in 2001 and 2003.

[CTRL] child pornography, wenatchee case

-Caveat Lector-




Crackdown on Child Pornography - Federal Action, Focused on Internet, Sets  
Off a Debate By Jerry Markon - Washington Post Staff Writer  12/15/07 Page  A01 
But an increase of Internet-fueled child pornography has triggered a new  
federal crackdown. Cybercrime, the majority of which involves child 
pornography,  
is now the FBI's third-highest priority, behind counterterrorism and  
counterintelligence.  In the past 11 months, federal prosecutors in  Virginia 
and 
Maryland have helped convict or send to prison on child pornography  charges 
the 
former head of the Virginia American Civil Liberties Union, an Ivy  League 
professor, a sheriff's deputy, a Transportation Security Administration  
employee, an Army sergeant, a former Navy cryptologist, a contractor working at 
 Abu 
Ghraib prison in Iraq, a National Institutes of Health researcher and a U.S.  
Capitol Police officer.  The problem is as bad as it appears, said Arnold  E. 
Bell, unit chief of the FBI's Calverton-based Innocent Images National  
Initiative. There are not enough badges out there to cover all the people to 
be  
had in terms of offenders.Many defendants obsessively collect huge numbers 
 of images -- the FBI recently seized a computer with 1.5 million images  
suspected to be child pornography -- and many have molested children, officials 
 
say. People who download the images once or twice, possibly by accident, are  
unlikely to be prosecuted, officials saidMichael Seto, a Canadian  
researcher, said he thinks that an invisible population of pedophiles has  
lived in 
society all along but remained mostly hidden until the Internet offered  
relative anonymity and a community of like-minded peopleThe National Center 
 
for Missing and Exploited Children's CyberTipline received about 4,500 reports  
of children being victimized it its first year, 1998. This year the center,  
which works closely with law enforcement officials, has collected nearly 
100,000  reports, more than 75 percent for online child pornography. But an 
increase in  federal cases -- a 28 percent spike in fiscal 2007 compared with 
the 
year before  -- could partly be due to a rise in the number of agents attacking 
the  problemThe frequency at which people who view child pornography also 
molest  children is a highly controversial issue and has been the subject of 
little  research. The only federal agency that tries to track the correlation, 
the U.S.  Postal Inspection Service, says that about one-third of the 2,713 
people it has  arrested since 1997 on child exploitation charges, primarily for 
trafficking in  child pornography, also committed contact offenses against 
children. A recent  study of 155 federal inmates in North Carolina convicted on 
child pornography  charges suggests that the number is higher. It found that 
85 percent admitted  molesting children. The study's co-author, Andres 
Hernandez, told Congress last  year that these Internet child pornographers 
are far 
more dangerous to society  than we previously thought. But some people who 
treat sex offenders say the  risk is often minimal. There are a large group of 
individuals whose lives and  families are absolutely being devastated because 
they looked at these images,  said Fred Berlin, a psychiatrist who runs the 
National Institute for the Study,  Prevention and Treatment of Sexual Trauma, 
affiliated with Johns Hopkins  University. They had absolutely no idea how 
severe the consequences would be  and had no interest in doing anything other 
than 
viewing images.

[CTRL] Prosecutors file brief against overturning conviction of priest

Prosecutors file brief against overturning conviction of priest By  David 
Yonke Blade Religion Editor 12/15/07 The Lucas County Prosecutor's Office  
filed 
an 80-page brief yesterday detailing its reasons why Toledo priest Gerald  
Robinson's murder conviction should not be overturned. The document, filed with 
 
Ohio's 6th District Court of Appeals, makes point-by-point rebuttals to  
arguments Robinson's attorneys made in August claiming the 69-year-old Catholic 
 
cleric did not receive a fair trial. Robinson was convicted in May, 2006, for  
the 1980 murder of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, a 71-year-old Catholic nun who was 
 strangled nearly to death, then stabbed 31 times. Her body was found in the  
sacristy, the room next to the chapel, in the former Mercy Hospital early on 
the  morning of April 5, 1980 - Holy Saturday. Robinson was a chaplain at 
Mercy and  lived in an apartment at the hospital at the time. He was arrested 
by 
cold-case  detectives April 23, 2004, more than 24 years after the murder. 
After a  three-week trial in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, the priest was 
convicted of  murder May 11, 2006. He is serving a 15-years-to-life sentence at 
Hocking  Correctional Facility in southern OhioThe prosecutor's office said 
 
Robinson's appeals attorneys made numerous errors that were either factually  
untrue, misleading, totally unsupported by the record, fantastical, or 
 fiction.The prosecutor said though some witnesses have died since the 
1980  murder and were therefore unavailable to testify, Robinson had every  
opportunity to take the witness stand and tell the jurors anything that he felt 
 was relevant to, contradictory of, or explanatory of any false accusations, 
the  prosecutor's office said. The priest did not testify. The state never 
closed its  investigation of Sister Margaret Ann's death, the prosecutor's 
office said, but  the case gained new interest in 2003 after a Toledo Catholic 
nun 
accused  Robinson of sadomasochistic sexual abuse.

DECLINES TO INVESTIGATE In December 1995, two women filed ethics complaints 
with  
the American Psychological Association (APA) against Elizabeth Loftus, PhD,  
regarding her published statements about two legal cases involving delayed  
memories of sexual abuse. Citing procedural considerations, however, the APA 
has  
declined to investigate the women's ethics complaints. Jennifer Hoult (a 
concert  harpist living in New York) and Lynn Crook (a Washington State 
consultant) 
each  filed separate complaints with the APA, alleging that Loftus 
mischaracterized  the facts of their legal cases in published articles. Both 
women 
brought  successful civil suits because of the sexual abuse that the fathers 
(and 
the  mother, in Crook's case) perpetrated against them during their childhoods. 
At  their trials, they presented corroborative evidence that met the 
requirements  for judicial proof of their allegations.

million to more than 100 Alaskans who allege sexual abuse by Jesuit priests,
a lawyer for the accusers said Sunday. The settlement with the Oregon

for the
110 victimsThe sexual abuse allegations involved 13 or 14 clerics and
spanned nearly 30 years, from 1961 to 1987, Roosa said. The children's ages
ranged from 5 years to teenage.

3rd Circuit Rejects RICO Claim Against Archdiocese  Shannon P.  Duffy  The 
Legal Intelligencer  November 7, 2007 Fourteen alleged  victims of sexual abuse 
by Catholic priests have lost their bid to revive a  civil anti-racketeering 
suit against the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for its  alleged cover-up of the 
scandal. In its 14-page opinion in Magnum v. Archdiocese  of Philadelphia, a 
unanimous three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of  Appeals upheld a 
lower court's dismissal of the suit on the grounds that the  plaintiffs cannot 
show they suffered a RICO-style injury that was caused by the  cover-up.  The 
ruling affirms a November 2006 decision by U.S. District  Judge Legrome D. 
Davis who found that the RICO claims suffered from numerous  fatal flaws. Davis 
ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue because  their alleged damages 
stemmed from personal injury claims, which are not  cognizable under RICO. He 
also found the plaintiffs could not plead proximate  cause and could not 
plead a RICO enterprise or pattern of racketeering  activity. Now the 3rd 
Circuit has rejected the plaintiffs' appeal, finding that  the entire theory of 
the suit was flawed because it was premised solely on the  plaintiffs' alleged 
loss of the opportunity to bring personal injury claims  within the statute of 
limitations.  _http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1194343446106_

20 suspected pedophiles arrested in France PARIS, Oct. 31, 2007 (Xinhua) --  
A total of 20 people have been arrested in France as suspected pedophiles 
after  the European Union (EU) launched a massive crackdown on the criminal 
group  
Monday, French police said Wednesday. Among the arrestees, three allegedly  
molested children during trips abroad, and another three were believed to have  
filmed children porno scenes abroad. Police also seized about 1.5 million  
illegal images from one suspect's computer.  The  European-wide raid, 
codenamed Koala, followed traces discovered in an  operation on suspected 
child 
molesters in Australia in 2006, during which police  found some 3,000 
suspicious 
e-mail addresses. The operation was supervised by  Europe's police agency 
Europol and Eurojust, the EU agency in charge of  coordinating judicial 
affairs.

[CTRL] childhood trauma information

Monitor on Psychology - Volume 38, No. 3 March 2007 - A new diagnosis for  
childhood trauma? Some push for a new DSM category for children who undergo  
multiple, complex traumas. By Tori DeAngelis Print version: page 32 No one 
knows  
how many children are affected, but one gauge is the number of children 
reported  annually to child protection services for abuse and neglect—3 
million. 
About 1  million of those cases are substantiated, according to a 2003 report 
by 
the  Administration on Children, Youth and Families.  Yet no one diagnosis  
adequately captures the plight of these youngsters, and that’s why a new  
diagnosis is needed for them, asserts a working group of child psychiatrists 
and  
psychologists developing such a diagnosis for possible inclusion in the 2011  
iteration of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the  
DSM-5, published by the American Psychiatric Association. As it stands now,  
these children are often misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, working group  
members argue. The team is an interest group of the National Child Traumatic  
Stress Network, a consortium of 70 child mental health centers founded and  
funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration that  
brings together clinicians who work with children who have complex trauma  
histories. To fill the gap, the group is proposing a diagnosis called  
“developmental 
trauma disorder” or DTD, to capture what members see as central  realities of 
life for these children: exposure to multiple, chronic traumas,  usually of an 
interpersonal nature; a unique set of symptoms that differs from  those of 
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a variety of other labels  often 
applied to such children _http://www.apa.org/monitor/mar07/diagnosis.html_ 
(http://www.apa.org/monitor/mar07/diagnosis.html) 

The Trauma Center is a program of Justice Resource Institute (JR1), a  large 
nonprofit organization dedicated to social justice by offering hope and  
promise of fulfillment to children, adults, and families who are at risk of not 
 
receiving effective services essential to their safety, progress, and/or  
survival. The Executive Director of the Trauma Center is Joseph Spinazzola,  
Ph.D., 
and the Medical Director and Founder of the Trauma Center is Bessel van  der

enduring effects of abuse and related adverse experiences in childhood - A  
convergence of evidence from neurobiology and epidemiology - Published  
online: 
29 November 2005 Abstract - Background Childhood maltreatment has been  linked 
to a variety of changes in brain structure and function and  stress-responsive 
neurobiological systems. Epidemiological studies have  documented the impact 
of childhood maltreatment on health and emotional  well-being. Methods  - 
After a brief review of the neurobiology of  childhood trauma, we use the 
Adverse 
Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study as an  epidemiological case example of the 
convergence between epidemiologic and  neurobiological evidence of the effects 
of childhood trauma. The ACE Study  included 17,337 adult HMO members and 
assessed 8 adverse childhood experiences  (ACEs) including abuse,witnessing 
domestic violence, and serious household  dysfunctionResults Based upon 
logistic 
regression analysis, the risk of  every outcome in the affective, somatic, 
substance abuse,memory,sexual,and  aggressionrelated domains increased in a 
graded fashion as the ACE score  increased (P0.001). The mean number of 
comorbid 
outcomes tripled across the  range of the ACE score. Conclusions - The graded 
relationship of the ACE score  to 18 different outcomes in multiple domains 
theoretically parallels the  cumulative exposure of the developing brain to the 
stress response with  resulting impairment in multiple brain structures and 
functions. _http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~jdbremn/papers/anda_abuse.pdf_

Court Reinstates Lawsuit Involving Priests’ Satanic Rituals 10/27/07  LUCAS 
COUNTY, OHIO—In a decision which will have far reaching effects in clergy  
abuse cases and eerily issued just days before Halloween, the Sixth District  
Court of Appeals in Ohio has reinstated a 2005 lawsuit involving alleged 
satanic  
rituals against a Toledo priest who was convicted last year in the 1980 murder 
 of a nun. Roman Catholic Gerald Robinson, now 69, was convicted in May, 
2006, of  the murder of a 71-year-old nun and was sentenced to 15 years to 
life. 
His  request to remain free pending appeal was denied. Now his attorneys have 
filed a  new motion, asking the appellate court for the convicted murderer to 
be released  on a $250,000 property bond with electronic monitoring while his 
appeal is  pending, saying that the appeal has languished for 19 months. A 
Toledo woman had  brought the civil litigation against Robinson anonymously, 
suing 
as Survivor Doe  with her husband, Spouse Doe, claiming that Robinson was 
part of a group that  had repeatedly raped her and tortured her in satanic 
rituals when she was a  child.  The woman is now in her 40’s.  In addition to 
Robinson,  defendants are Gerald Mazuchowski, a former lay minister; the Toledo 
Catholic  Diocese; St. Adalbert Parish where she alleges the abuse occurred and 
the  Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. She alleges that Robinson, Mazuchowski 
and 
 other men dressed in nuns’ habits, used women’s names and engaged in 
bizarre  rituals, victimizing her. A lower court had dismissed her claim, 
saying it 
was  barred under the statute of limitations. The Appellate Court has reversed 
that  decision and reinstated the woman’s claim, saying that her claim isn’t 
time  barred because she couldn’t identify her alleged abusers due to 
repressed memory  “until she saw their faces/names from the television and 
newspaper 
reports about  them” in 2004 and 2005 at the time Robinson was arrested and 
charged with the  nun’s murder. 
_http://www.co.lucas.oh.us/Appeals/DecisionsPDF/3400.pdf_ 
(http://www.co.lucas.oh.us/Appeals/DecisionsPDF/3400.pdf)   In 
December 2003, a woman reported to police that she had been sexually abused  by 
a 
group of priests who performed Satanic rituals and held sadomasochistic  
orgies. Following the woman’s allegations in 2003, a cold-case squad began  
reviewing the nun’s murder case again. Three other women also came forward and  
claimed they had been sexually abused in cult-like ceremonies involving altars  
and 
men dressed in robes between the late 1960s and 1986. There have been  
allegations that church officials have tried to cover-up a crime. One of the  
women 
who came forward reached a monetary settlement with the church. The civil  case 
reinstated against Robinson is being brought by the woman who originally  
made the allegations against him. In a letter to the Toledo diocese in 2003, 
the  
alleged victim detailed her allegations, describing being subjected to 
Satanic  ceremonies in which priests placed her in a coffin filled with 
cockroaches, 
 forced her to eat what she thought was a human eyeball and penetrated her 
with a  snake “to consecrate these orifices to Satan”.She also reportedly 
alleged in the  letter to the diocese that the group of priests killed an 
infant 
and a  3-year-old child, performed an abortion on her and chopped up dogs 
during 
the  rituals. The lawsuit alleges that Survivor Doe had been the victim of “
clerical  ritual and sexual abuse” as a child beginning when she was a student 
at St.  Adalbert School by persons she later discovered to be Robinson and 
Mazuchowski  and that the Diocese and others involved aided and abetted or 
covered up the  actions of these priests and protected the priests while 
dissuading 
all such  victims and their families from seeking action against them. 
Survivor Doe  specifically alleges that the crimes began to occur while she was 
attending St.  Adalbert from 1968 through 1972. She alleges she was kidnapped 
against her will  and “held either against her will or by beguilement in the 
basement of St.  Adalbert’s.” While being held there, she was used in 
elaborate, 
ritualistic  ceremonies. The people perpetrating the crimes were dressed in nun 
habits and  referred to themselves with the first name of a woman and then 
their own name.  Robinson allegedly called himself “Mary Jerry” and Mazuchowski 
called himself  “Carrie Jerry.” She has recalled suppressed memories of 
another yet unknown man  who was referred to as Sue. After the woman left St. 
Adalbert school, she  alleges the abuse continued in a wooded area. Her mother, 
who 
also allegedly  participated in the ceremonies, took her to them. The 
plaintiff says she was  intimidated from disclosing the events of all of the 
satanic 
ceremonies at the

13abc is learning disturbing details of a letter, which set the Father  
Robinson case into motion - Father Robinson trial WTVG--October 29, 2007 - 
While  
Father Robinson's attorney works on his appeal, for the first time we are  
learning disturbing details of a letter, which set the cold case into motion.  
Last year, a jury found Gerald Robinson guilty of murdering Sister Margaret Ann 
 
Pahl in 1980. It was a letter to the Toledo Diocesan review board from June 
2003  that sparked investigators to re-open the case. It is a letter filled 
with 
 bizarre accounts of ritualistic sexual abuse at the hands of members of the  
Catholic Church, including priests. Mark Davis is an attorney representing  
another unknown client who alleges similar abuse by other priests and is suing  
the Toledo Catholic Diocese. Mark Davis says, The group purposely makes it 
so  bizarre that a child is not believable and they can escape and get away 
with  these activities. In one case, a woman says when she was five she was 
taken to  the Calvary Cemetery and put into a coffin-like pine box with 
cockroaches.  Another time, she describes being taken to an abandoned house on 
Raab Road 
to  take part in satanic activities. The letter also claims much of the 
sexual abuse  took part at St. Pius and the rituals were horrifying and 
sadistic.

At a 1991 Utah workshop, thirty-two mental health therapists  reported 
treating 360 separate survivors of ritual abuse. By early 1992 the  following 
statement had been signed by sixty-six Utah therapists: We, the  undersigned 
mental 
health professional, have each heard memories of ritual abuse  recounted by 
some patients, as have therapists across the nation. We believe  these

 allegations to have basis in fact. We are dismayed by  accusations that 
therapists brainwash their patients or collude to create a  mental health 
problem 
where none existed. We urge our public officials to take  appropriate actions 
to counter ritual crimes. The names on the signed petition,  affirming the 
above statement, are given in the 1992 report of the Utah  Governor’’s Task

Wanda Karriker's Amazon Review of Switching  Time.  
   
 
THE WORLD WILL KNOW!!  With the publication of this book, the WORLD  WILL 
KNOW more about the aftereffects of extreme abuse and the resiliency of the  
human spirit. Dr. Baer stands brave and tall and articulate in a field of  
controversy surrounding the reality of satanic ritual abuse, the credibility  
of  
repressed memories, and claims that therapists plant false memories of  abuse 
in 
their patients. Although some of his peers may disagree with his  observation 
that Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple  Personality 
Disorder) is rare, or criticize his way of directing therapy, in the  end it is 
his patient, Karen, (a survivor of extreme abuse including  child  
pornography, child prostitution, and satanic ritual abuse suffered at  the  
hands of her 
father and his buddies), who should judge the effectiveness of her  therapy 
and she does when she writes: 'Switching Time' is an accurate  description of 
what I suffered and experienced(p.342). In the throws of an  apparently 
organized effort by accused perpetrators and their supporters in  academia and 
the 
media to destroy therapists who work with the Karens of the  world, (which in 
turn demeans survivors and their truths) Dr. Baer presents  exactly what the 
book's subtitle promises. Perhaps the publication of this book  will trigger 
Switching Time in responsible journalists and motivate them to  write stories 
and conduct interviews with persons who will expose the truth  about what has 
come to be called false memory syndrome. Wanda Karriker, Ph.D.  Author:

An Empirical Look at the Ritual Abuse Controversy - Randy Noblitt, PhD
Adapted in 2007 from a paper presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the
American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, Fort Worth, Texas, March 18, 1998.
“Some
authors argue that there is no substantial legal evidence that the ritual
abuse
of children actually occurs, and that most cases of ritual abuse convictions
are reversed on appeal. Michael Newton (cited in
Noblitt, 1998a) accumulated data on criminal convictions in the U.S. where
allegations of ritual abuse of children were made. He found cases of 145
defendants who were sentenced. Seventeen (11.7%) were reversed on appeal.
Newton
argues that these reversals do not necessarily indicate that the defendants
were innocent of the accusations. In some instances the decisions were
reversed
based on legal technicalities rather than factual matters as to whether the
abuse occurred or not.”

New R.I. report raises questions on clergy abuse - Diocese says vague cases  
behind rise; AG concerned By Michael Paulson, Globe Staff  |  October  20, 
2007 Between 1971 and 2007, 125 priests in Rhode Island were accused of  
sexual 
assault or sexual misconduct, including 95 accused of child molestation  or 
sexual assault of a minor, according to a court document filed by Bishop  
Thomas 
J. Tobin, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence.That number is  
higher than the 56 priests that Tobin's predecessor, Bishop Robert E. Mulvee,  
reported in 2004 as having been accused of sexual abuse of a minor between 1950 
 and 2002. The diocese said yesterday that the discrepancy is because the 
number  reported three years ago included only credible allegations, while the 
number in  the more recent court filing included an unspecified number of 
allegations that  were vague, anonymous, withdrawn, or ultimately found to be 
false. The diocese  also said the higher number, which it said was adjusted to 
85 
after a careful  document review, also includes allegations made after 2002, 
when a large number  of alleged victims came forward as the clergy sexual abuse

INTERNATIONAL DIGEST: Mexico cardinal knew about child abuse, group claims  
Posted on Oct 12, 2007 | by Mark Kelly MEXICO CITY (BP)--Mexico's leading Roman 
 Catholic cardinal knew a Mexican priest might be molesting children when he  
transferred him to the United States, a victim's rights group has alleged. To 
 support their claim, the Survivor's Network of Those Abused by Priests 
released  letters written in 1987 between Mexico City Cardinal Norberto Rivera 
and 
Los  Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony, as well as 1986 police report in which 
Nicolas  Aguilar, a priest in Mexico's Puebla state, was accused of molesting 
boys during  overnight stays. The documents had been filed by attorneys 
defending 
Rivera  against charges in Los Angeles that he and Mahoney conspired to 
protect Aguilar,  according to the Associated Press.

[CTRL] memory, healing methods for survivors of ritual abuse

“The hypothesis that  false memories can easily be implanted in psychotherapy

Watters, 1993, 1994;  Yapko, 1994a) seriously overstates the available data. 
Since 
no studies have  been conducted on suggested effects in psychotherapy per se, 
the idea of  iatrogenic suggestion of false memories remains an untested 
hypothesis. (Memory,  Trauma Treatment, And the Law Brown, Scheflin, Hammond) ,

She  will report/display/compare how approximately 900 survivors of ritual

[CTRL] satanic ritual abuse

2007-10-14 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

Multiple Personality Disorder and Satanic Ritual Abuse: the Issue Of  
Credibility Susan C. Van Benschoten, R.N., M.Ed., M.A. “Day care ritual abuse  
accounts usually implicate multiple non-familial perpetrators and multiple  
victims. 
Female perpetrators are nearly always reported. Characteristically,  very 
young children and children of both sexes are said to be involved. Extreme  
forms 
of coercion and intimidation are typically reported, including threats of  
death and demonstrations that perpetrators possess magical powers. Extended,  
severe, and bizarre types of sexual abuse are frequently described, including  
penetration with objects, and forced sex between children and between children  
and adults. Physical and emotional abuse are reported as well, for example  
threats with weapons and the use of various forms of bondage. Children ' s  
disclosures often cite pornography and drug use as components of the abuse. 
Many  
reports allege cruelly to animals, or the mutilation and sacrifice of animals 
or  human beings. Practices linked to satanism are often reported. Children  
frequently describe chanting or singing, the presence of symbols, costumes,  
masks, candles, and the ceremonial use of blood, urine, and feces. Finkelhor- 
et  al. (1988) found the ritualistic cases in their national study of 
substantiated  day care sexual abuse to he the ones whose allegations seemed 
to most 
strain  public and professional credulity. . (and) in which the children 
appeared to  have suffered the most serious and lasting kind of damage  (p. 
32). 
This  impression is supported by the work of Kelley (in press).”

Sociological Views on the Controversial Issue of Satanic Ritual Abuse:  Three 
Faces of the Devil - Mary deYoung, Ph.D. “It is estimated that 185 people  
were criminally charged in cases alleging satanic ritual abuse between 1983 and 
 
1995 in this country; 113 of them were convicted, and over fifty of those 
people  remain in prison today (Nathan  Snedeker, 1995). Similar cases were  
discovered in Canada, England, Scotland, Holland, and New Zealand, generating 
as  
much controversy as those in this countryempirical study by Goodman, Qin, 
 Bottoms and Shaver (1994), funded by the National Center on Child Abuse and  
Neglect. The researchers surveyed 6,910 clinical psychologists, social 
workers,  and psychiatrists, and 4,655 agencies, including departments of 
social 
services,  county district attorneys offices, and municipal law enforcement 
agencies.  Respondents reported 12,264 cases of suspected or alleged satanic 
ritual 
abuse  involving children and adults.”  _http://www.aaets.org/arts/art26.htm_

10.1126/science.1139560 Research Articles - Prefrontal Regions Orchestrate  
Suppression of 
Emotional Memories via a Two-Phase Process - Brendan E. Depue,  Tim Curran, 
Marie T. Banich Whether memories can be suppressed has been a  controversial 
issue 
in psychology and cognitive neuroscience for decades. We  found evidence that 
emotional memories are suppressed via two  time-differentiated neural 
mechanisms: (i) an initial suppression by the right  inferior frontal gyrus 
over 
regions supporting sensory components of the memory  representation (visual 
cortex, thalamus), followed by (ii) right medial frontal  gyrus control over 
regions 
supporting multimodal and emotional components of the  memory representation 
(hippocampus, amygdala), both of which are influenced by  fronto-polar 
regions. These results indicate that memory suppression does occur  and, at 
least in 
nonpsychiatric populations, is under the control of prefrontal  
regions.E-mail: depue{at}colorado.edu

Secret  US Endorsement of Severe Interrogations
By Scott Shane,  David Johnston and James Risen
The New York  Times
Thursday 04 October 2007 
Washington - When the Justice Department publicly declared torture 
abhorrent  in a legal opinion in December 2004, the Bush administration 
appeared to 
have  abandoned its assertion of nearly unlimited presidential authority to 
order  brutal interrogations.
But soon after Alberto Gonzales's  arrival as attorney general in February 
2005, the Justice Department issued  another opinion, this one in secret. It 
was 
a very different document, according  to officials briefed on it, an 
expansive endorsement of the harshest  interrogation techniques ever used by 
the 
Central Intelligence  Agency.
The new opinion, the officials said, for the first  time provided explicit 
authorization to barrage terror suspects with a  combination of painful 
physical 
and psychological tactics, including  head-slapping, simulated drowning and 
frigid  temperatures.

Newsweek Oct. 8, 2007 issue I tell you this story with trepidation. But my
fear is far outweighed by what I know is my obligation to help other victims
of sexual abuse to not feel alone. To inspire other victims to realize that
their lives do not have to be paralyzed by guilt and shame; they do not have
to be defined by victimhood. And to convey to each and every damaged girl or
woman that it is not her fault. Unfortunately, many, many girls are victims
of sexual abuse. So even as we fight evil abroad, the evil of this abuse
lives on in our neighborhoods.

about Sirois' mental state Dianne Wood - Record Staff - Kitchener The
Kitchener man who admitted killing an elderly woman and her longtime boarder in
2004
practised Satanic rituals and saw demons, a hearing into his mental state at
the time of the crime heard yesterday. Michael Sirois, 29, pleaded guilty
last April to two counts of second-degree murder in the vicious stabbings of
Verna Bast, 87, and Randy Penner, 47. The pair was killed on Feb. 20, 2004 in
the Glasgow Street home that Bast, a devout Christian, had shared with Penner
and another boarder, John Routley, for many years. Although Sirois has
admitted to the murder, he hasn't yet been convicted. A hearing has begun in
Superior Court to determine whether he should be held criminally
responsibleThere will be testimony about a satanic bible found among
Sirois' possessions,
satanic writings found in his room and satanic rituals and ceremonies he
performed, Gehl said. You will hear a lot about Mr. Sirois' adherence to
satanic
beliefs,'' Gehl said. _http://news.therecord.com/printArticle/246604_

-Caveat Lector-

What Can Happen to Abused Children When They Grow Up – If No One Notices,  
Listens or Helps? Some Statistics from the Research - For purposes of this  
document, abuse, and ,trauma, are defined as: interpersonal violence in the 
form  
of sexual abuse, physical abuse, severe neglect, loss, and /or the witnessing 
of  violenceThe mental health system is filled with survivors of 
prolonged,  repeated childhood trauma.  50 to 70% of all women and a 
substantial  
number of men treated in psychiatric settings have histories of sexual or  
physical abuse, or both. (Carmen et al, 1984; Bryer et al., 1987; Craine et 
al.,  
1988) As high as 81% of men and women in psychiatric hospitals with a variety  
of major mental illness diagnoses, have experienced physical and/or sexual  
abuse. 67% of these men and women were abused as children. (Jacobson   
Richardson, 1987) 74% of Maine?s Augusta Mental Health Institute patients,  
interviewed as class members, report histories of sexual and physical abuse.  
(Maine 
BDS, 1998) The majority of adults diagnosed with Borderline Personality  
Disorder (81%) or Dissociative Identity Disorder (90%) were sexually and/or  
physically abused as children. (Herman et al, 1989; Ross et al, 1990)

[CTRL] Polygamist leader convicted of sex charges in arranged marriage

-Caveat Lector-

Polygamist leader convicted of sex charges in arranged marriage By Jennifer  
Dobner - AP 9/25/07 ST. George, Utah - The leader of a polygamous Mormon  
splinter group was convicted today of being an accomplice to rape for forcing a 
 
14-year-old girl to marry her 19-year-old cousin. Warren Jeffs, 51, could get  
life in prison after a trial that threw a spotlight on a renegade community  
along the Arizona-Utah line where as many as 10,000 of Jeffs' followers 
practice  plural marriage and revere him as a mighty prophet with dominion over 
their 
 salvationThe mainstream Mormon Church, or the Church of Jesus Christ of  
Latter-day Saints, renounced polygamy more than a century ago, excommunicates 
 members who engage in the practice, and disavows any connection to the FLDS  
church. Jeffs is also charged in Arizona with being an accomplice to both 
incest  and sexual misconduct with a minor for arranging marriages between two 
underage  girls and relatives of theirs. In addition, Jeffs is under federal 
indictment in  Utah on charges of fleeing to avoid prosecution.

[CTRL] Captured: 'King of the Child Exploitation Suspects'

2007-09-24 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-


Captured: 'King of the Child Exploitation Suspects' - Ex-Deputy who  
Allegedly Raped His Daughter and Posted the Video Online Finally Caught in Hong 
 Kong 
By Pierre Thomas, Jack Date and Theresa Cook 5/2/07  The U.S. Marshals  
Service said a law enforcement team had hunted down Kenneth John Freeman -- the 
 man 
the director of the Marshals Service called the king of the child  
exploitation suspects, tracking him to Hong Kong where he was arrested  
MondayAuthorities charge that Freeman raped his daughter over a two-year  
period, 
starting when she was 10 years old. He videotaped the scenes and posted  them 
online 
in what, they said, became one of the most widely downloaded child  
pornography videos in recent history, seen by millionsBillion-Dollar Black 
 
Market IndustryChild porn has emerged as a multibillion dollar black market  
industry, though average people don't believe it, said Ernie Allen, president 
 of 
the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.  The reality  is, 
with the advent of the Internet, the problem of child pornography has  
exploded, 
said Allen. There are more victims, the victims are younger, there  are 
millions of people who are consuming, who are watching these images.   U.S. 
Marshals Director Clark noted that with technology's advances comes the  
downside 
that children like Kylie Freeman can be victimized repeatedly.   Individuals 
like Mr. Freeman post pictures globally that are downloaded  hundreds of 
thousands of times. [This] means that this image of this innocent  child gets 
replicated and viewed over and over and over again, he  saidThere's a 
myth 
here, he said, and that is the myth of the  stranger.  Allen pointed to 
NCMEC's data, which show that most child  sexual exploitation victims know the 
perpetrator of the crime -- at least 35  percent of them are the victim's own 
parents and 70 percent are other family  members or someone close to the child.

[CTRL] Abuse victims complain about grilling at Cornwall inquiry

2007-09-18 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

Cornwall couple lauded for battling child abuse 5/4/99 A police officer and
his wife from Cornwall have been formally recognized for their courage in
trying to bring pedophiles to justice in their southeastern Ontario community.
Perry and Helen Dunlop were given medals of honour Monday by a human rights
group in Victoria, B.C. The Dunlops long pushed for an investigation into
abuse
against children. Despite their efforts, and the positive attention, the
case is far from over -- and the pressure on the Dunlops continues. Perry
Dunlop has been ostracized by his colleagues, charged with offences under the
Police Act (he was later cleared) and took stress leave from work -- all
because
he reported a suspected case of child sex abuse to child welfare authorities,
even though the police had dropped the matter, even though he'd been told by
senior officers to stay out of it. Helen Dunlop says for all the trauma she
and her husband have suffered, the award shows people across the country are
paying attention. Perry Dunlop's action has turned into a huge inve
stigation. So far, 12 men have been charged and at least 50 people have come
forward
with claims of abuse.

Abuse victims complain about grilling at Cornwall inquiry Accused need
equal treatment, lawyer says 2/20/07 Sexual abuse victims have complained
about
harsh treatment by lawyers at the Cornwall public inquiry, prompting the
commissioner to intervene. Commissioner Normand Glaude was to tell lawyers
Tuesday
how far they should go when questioning the victims at the inquiry, after
least one victim stormed off the stand in the middle of his testimony and
another made a written complaint about how lawyers treated himThe inquiry
is
examining how public and private institutions responded after dozens of people
alleged they were sexually abused by prominent men in the eastern Ontario
community over several decadesBut Lee, who represents the victims,
countered
that the victims' names aren't important because they have no connection to
each other. Meanwhile, he said, it is important to name both alleged and
convicted abusers because of rumours that they were connected through an
organized pedophile ring.

Key witness stonewalls again at Cornwall sex-abuse inquiry Ottawa (CBC) - A
former Cornwall police officer whose whistle-blowing sparked a controversial
sexual-abuse investigation in the eastern Ontario community has refused for
the second time in as many days to testify at the inquiry into the scandal.
Perry Dunlop was forced by a subpoena to come from his home in British
Columbia
to appear at the inquiry, but both Monday and Tuesday he refused to answer
questions from the witness stand, even when he was offered independent legal
advice. I lost my first house through legal advice. I don't want legal
advice, he responded. I have nothing to say. The inquiry, which opened in
February 2006, has been examining the response of authorities in the 1990s to
complaints that prominent members of the Cornwall community sexually abused
dozens
of children over decades starting in the 1950sDunlop's wife, Helen
Dunlop, who answered a number of questions at the hearing on Tuesday morning
before her husband was called to the stand, agreed to testify that afternoon.
She
described her husband as a man who loved his job, his community and his
friendships with colleagues, but lost it all after he began his key role in
the
sexual-abuse investigation in 1993. That September, Dunlop walked in on two
police sergeants while they were discussing the Catholic Church's agreement to
pay a former altar boy $32,000. In exchange, the victim was dropping an abuse
complaint. Against orders, Dunlop handed the original complaint to the
Children's Aid Society, which pursued the case. He was disciplined for
speaking
out, but his continued work eventually led to four police investigations and
charges against 15 people. Helen Dunlop broke down several times when she
described the stress on her husband, his problems in collecting disability
payments and the friends who encouraged him to drop the case.

[CTRL] Class-action suit being prepared against GCC

2007-09-17 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

article describes crimes - Bishop may convene rare ecclesiastical court
Michael Valpy - From Saturday's Globe and Mail 9/15/07 The Anglican priest
alleged to have abused students through cult practices at an Eastern Ontario
elite private school may face a rare ecclesiastical court convened by the
bishop
who is investigating his behaviour. The judicial procedure – almost never
used in the Anglican Church of Canada – would be triggered by Rev. Charles
Farnsworth's refusal to accept either a finding by the bishop that the
allegations
are substantive or a sentence of punishment that the bishop might impose. It
has been used perhaps half a dozen times over the past 170 years. Mr.
Farnsworth, in a Globe and Mail interview, has denied any knowledge of
students
being abused sexually, psychologically or physically during the two decades
ending in 1997 when he was headmaster of Grenville Christian College near
Brockville, Ont. He also has denied the specific allegations against him.
Bishop
George Bruce, who heads the diocese in which the now-closed school is located,
has interviewed or scheduled interviews so far with nearly 20 former
students and will continue his investigation at least until the end of this
month.
He has told former students he is taking their allegations “very seriously”
and that he will keep his investigation open until everyone who wants to be
heard is heardFormer teachers have said all but one or two of the school's
staff until at least 1997 were “oblates” of the Community of Jesus, an
organization in Massachusetts that has been identified in the U.S. media as a
cult.

Class-action suit being prepared against GCC By Kim Lunman - A lawyer based

lawyer Christopher Haber - who has been soliciting former pupils of the
boarding school on an Internet message board where the allegations have
surfaced -
said over 1,000 potential plaintiffs across North America have contacted
him over the past several days. We're currently reviewing and investigating
the entire matter with the view to filing a class-action lawsuit on behalf of
the victims, he said in a telephone interview. We've had probably over 1,000
inquiries, said Haber. The magnitude of the response did take us aback.

[CTRL] Research on the Effect of Trauma on Memory

2007-09-11 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

Research on the Effect of Trauma on Memory - Research has shown that  
traumatized individuals respond by using a variety of psychological mechanisms. 
 One 
of the most common means of dealing with the pain is to try and push it out  
of awareness. Some label the phenomenon of the process whereby the mind avoids  
conscious acknowledgment of traumatic experiences as dissociative amnesia  .  
Others use terms such as repression , dissociative state , traumatic  
amnesia, psychogenic shock, or motivated forgetting .  Semantics aside,  there 
is 
near-universal scientific acceptance of the fact that the mind is  capable of 
avoiding conscious recall of traumatic experiences.  
_http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/tm/tm.html_ 
(http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/tm/tm.html) 
Summary  of Research Examining the Prevalence of Full or Partial  
Dissociative  Amnesia for Traumatic Events  - The most comprehensive review of 
the  
scientific literature on dissociative amnesia has been conducted by Brown,  
Scheflin and Hammond in their book, Memory, Trauma Treatment, and the Law . 
(New  
York: Norton, 1998). This book is viewed as setting the standard in the field  
after receiving the American Psychiatric Association's 1999 prestigious Manfred 
 
S. Guttmacher Award for best book in law and forensic psychiatry. Brown,  
Scheflin and Hammond reviewed 43 studies relevant to the subject of traumatic  
memory and found that every study that examined the question of dissociative  
amnesia in traumatized populations demonstrated that a substantial minority  
partially or completely forget the traumatic event experienced, and later  
recover memories of the event.   Dissociative amnesia can occur after  any type 
of 
traumatic event. _http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/tm/prev.html_

[CTRL] ritual abuse conference on TV and survey

-Caveat Lector-

Conference Gives Comfort to Victims of Abuse - August 13, 2007 12:00 pm -  
WINDSOR LOCKS, CONNECTICUT (WWLP) - A conference meant to give hope and  
inspiration to survivors of severe child abuse was underway at the Doubletree  
Hotel 
in Windsor Locks, Connecticut Sunday.  Many of the conference  organizers and 
speakers are survivors of child abuse and they hoped the event  would educate 
the public.  Advocating for stricter child welfare policies,  therapist 
Jeanette Westbrook spoke to conference attendees about her personal  story of 
coping 
with abuse.  Motivational speaker Kim Kubal, came from  Australia to give 
encouragement and comfort to those struggling with the  memories of abuse. 
Organizers plan to raise awareness of issues facing children  by initiating 
community projects and agencies to help adult and child victims of  abuse. 
_http://www.wwlp.com/Global/story.asp?S=6923795_

For Immediate Release - EXTREME ABUSE SURVIVORS BREAK THE SILENCE - Mind  
Control and Ritual Abuse Exposed as “Hidden Holocaust”
 
Almost 1500 extreme abuse survivors from more than 30 countries recently  
participated in an online survey (in English and German) designed to explore  
commonalities regarding the nature and extent of the horrible crimes committed  
against them. 
 
Results of this and other surveys in the series -- one for professionals  who 
have worked with adult survivors and one (currently online) for caregivers  
of child victims -- show the interplay between ritual abuse, traumatic mind  
control, child pornography, clergy abuse, sex trafficking and other forms of  
torture. (_http://extreme-abuse-survey.net_ (http://extreme-abuse-survey.net) )
 
Presenting some of the preliminary results of the adult survey to a large  
group of her fellow survivors and their advocates at SMART's “Tenth Annual  
Ritual Abuse, Secretive Organizations and Mind Control Conference” in Windsor  
Locks, CT on August 11, 2007, Carol Rutz challenged the audience: “Imagine for 
a  
moment that you are among this group of respondents and endured only one of  
these things, let alone the gamut of them.
 
(1) Incest; ( 2) Child pornography and prostitution; (3) Sexual abuse by  
multiple perpetrators: (4) Being caged; (5) Starvation; (6) Bestiality; (7)  
Buried alive; (8) Electroshock; (9) Sensory deprivation; (10) Sleep 
deprivation;  
(11) Forced cannibalism, (12) Secret government-sponsored mind control  
experiments performed on you as a child.”
 
Rutz continued: “Now imagine that no one believes you! This is what it  feels 
like to be an Extreme Abuse Survivor.”
 
Survey questions reflect some of the most contentious issues to ever engage  
the mental health field and spill over into the public arena: the reality of  
ritual abuse and government-sponsored mind control experiments, the 
credibility  of repressed memories, and claims that therapists implant false 
memories of 
 incest and ritual abuse in their clients’ minds.
 
Relative to these controversies, of those who responded to the related  
questions,
55% reported ritual abuse in a satanic cult.
26% reported that  secret government mind control experiments had been 
performed on them as  children.
64% reported having memories of incest before they sought  therapy.
48% reported having memories of ritual abuse before they sought  therapy.
Of 257 who reported secret mind control experiments used on them as  
children, 67% also reported having been ritually abused in a satanic cult.
Of  53 different healing methods, respondents overwhelmingly chose individual 
 psychotherapy/counseling as the most effective method for helping them 
overcome  the aftereffects of extreme abuse.
“The results of this survey will challenge  many to step out of their comfort 
zones and change their world views,” Rutz said  in her closing remarks. “
Will we allow these heinous types of abuse to lie in  the shadows or do we have 
the courage to bring them into the light and face  them?”

New Book on Cult Leader Details What Prosecutor Calls His 'Most  Significant' 
Case - R. Robin McDonald - Fulton County Daily Report 7/30/07  “Dwight 
Malachi York was a false prophet...and a sexual predator who  headquartered 
his 
religious cult in rural Georgia, then used his position as a  religious leader 
to deflect scrutiny from his criminal activities, a newly  published book 
asserts. York's brazen willingness to attack his skeptics as  racist, while 
portraying himself as a victim of racial and religious  persecution, enabled 
him to 
con politicians, law enforcement authorities, civil  rights organizations, 
academics and journalists, according to Bill Osinski, the  author of Ungodly: 
A 
True Story of Unprecedented EvilUngodly is the  story of York's rise and 
fall and the sordid secret behind his professed dreams  to build a black 
Utopia in Putnam County, Ga., and take global a new religion  with him as its 
self-styled savior. Inside Tama-Re, the faux Egyptian compound  he had built on 
a 
440-acre farm in Putnam County, York turned his female  followers into 
concubines and their children into sex slaves. Today, the man who  set himself 
up as

Minner  
signed into law what is believed to be the most comprehensive civil 
legislation  concerning the sexual abuse of minors. Delaware residents, over a 
period 
of two  years, worked very hard to make the Child Victims Act (Senate Bill 29) 
a law. It  provides for a two-year moratorium on the statute of limitations on 
lawsuits for  sexual abuse. Victims have until July 10, 2009, to seek damages 
regardless of  when the assaults occurred.

Trusting Memories - Newsweek - July 30, 2007 issue - Recovered memories of  
childhood sexual abuse (CSA) may be as trustworthy as memories that persist 
from  the time of abuse, reports the journal Psychological Science. In a  
first-of-its-kind study, investigators checked out CSA memories of 128  
individuals 
by interviewing others abused by the same perpetrator, or people who  learned 
about the victim's abuse shortly after it occurred or when the abuser  
confessed. Over a six-month period, they found corroborating evidence for 37  
percent 
of memories that had been recovered outside of therapy, nearly matching  the 
45 percent corroboration rate for continuous memories—William Lee Adams

among  school-age children. A 45-item questionnaire was developed and sent to 
200  randomly selected counselors--119 were returned. Since the study was 
conducted  as a blind review, it focused on whether counselors had encountered 
the 
signs  and symptoms of ritual abuse at least one time within the last two 
years, as  opposed to the number of times counselors observed these signs and 
symptoms in  their students during the counseling session. Results indicated 
that, 
although  counselors may not be aware of the signs and symptoms of ritual 
abuse, they did  encounter such abuses in the counseling process. 
...Approximately 
half of the  respondents stated that their students were either 
self-mutilating or accident  prone and fearful or preoccupied with death.”

[CTRL] Conviction List: Ritual Child Abuse

2007-07-19 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

Conviction List: Ritual Child Abuse - Copyright © 1997. Believe The  Children 
- Many ritual child abuse cases never are prosecuted due to the  disbelief of 
authorities or the unlikelihood that young, severely traumatized  children 
will be able to withstand cross-examination. A 1993 survey by the  American Bar 
Association's Center on Children and Family Law determined that 26  percent of 
prosecutors nationwide have handled cases involving ritualistic or  sexual 
abuse. (Ross, 1994). The ritualistic aspects of the crimes often are not  
presented in court but are clearly indicated in the victims'  accounts.

[CTRL] CIA brainwashing, Bad memories can be suppressed

2007-07-17 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

 












fwd from L Moss Sharman - CIA brainwashing to medical breakthroughs:  study 
to look at Cold War research 7/15/07  Dene Moore - Montreal (CP)  Suddenly, 
the human psyche was the new frontier and, thanks to a  now-notorious 
CIA-funded experiment, Montreal found itself an unlikely hub of  activity. At 
McGill's Allen Memorial Institute, Dr. Ewen Cameron believed he  could 
depattern 
patients - an idea that cost the federal government an  undisclosed amount of 
money this month in an out-of-court settlement with one  former patient. Her 
lawyer said lawsuits involving other people are in the  works. While Cameron's 
work was the most notorious, he was hardly alone. Over  the next few years, 
Andrea Tome, a medical historian at McGill University, will  try to document 
Canada's dubious Cold War psychiatric history. It was happening  all over, 
Tome 
said in a recent interview.  It's a race; not an arms race  but a race for 
science, for technological improvement.  Montreal became a  medical mecca of 
sorts, due in no small part to Cameron's work and the  research training 
program he established at McGill. Cameron served at various  times as president 
of 
the Canadian Psychiatric Association and the World  Psychiatric Association. 
His patients were put into drug-induced comas, given  LSD and exposed for days 
or weeks at a time to recorded messages.  Cameron  thought he could program 
the patients without flaw, an idea that intrigued the  CIA enough to provide 
funding, along with the Canadian federal government.  Patients like Janine 
Huard, who picked up her settlement cheque from the  Canadian government a few 
weeks ago, suffered lifetime effects.  I was a  guinea pig, Huard told The 
Canadian Press in an earlier interview. The CIA  previously settled lawsuits 
with 
several of Cameron's former patients, including  Huard. It was unusual, even in 
the context of the times but it's important to  understand that it was the 
1950s, said Dr. Frederick Lowy, who was a junior  colleague of Cameron at the 
institute. There was a lot of research and not a lot  of rules. Doctors who 
thought they could help a patient by doing something  different and new, just 
did it, said Lowy, who went on to become head of  psychiatry and dean of 
medicine at the University of Toronto With the CIA  financing, Cameron's 
work 
became part of a project code-named MK-Ultra, which  oversaw 149 similar 
experiments. More details about the project surfaced last  month in 
declassified CIA 
documents. Among the 700-plus pages was a memo to the  CIA Management 
Committee acknowledging that the agency accepted experimental  drugs that were 
rejected by commercial manufacturers because of unfavourable  side-effects.  
The 
drugs were tested on monkeys and mice and, eventually,  armed forces 
volunteers. 
CIA projects weren't just being carried out in  Montreal, Tome said. “
Clearly there was something larger going on than just one  lunatic fringe 
doctor at 
work.  Indeed, the CIA and Cameron were not  alone.  In 1961, 23 inmates at 
the Kingston Prison for Women were given  LSD, one of many studies across the 
country of the drug which was not yet  outlawed. Not all the prisoners 
consented.  Tome said prisons were, at the  time, the No. 1 source of clinical 
trial 
research. While Cameron was  conducting his experiments, Dr. Heinz Lehmann 
was pioneering the use of  anti-psychotic drugs at the Verdun Protestant 
Hospital in Montreal. Like  Cameron, he was doing it without supervision and 
without 
informed patient  consent. Unlike Cameron, his experiments worked. Lehmann 
had read about a  sedative he thought would be effective for psychiatric 
patients. He thought he  would give it a try on some of his schizophrenic 
patients, 
Tome said. Within  weeks, he had these incredible remission rates.  The 
drug was thorazine,  the first anti-psychotic drug to offer any hope for 
psychiatric patients. While  Cameron's experiments were partially funded by the 
CIA, 
Lowy said they were not  performed at the behest of the U.S. spy agency.

LA Church to Pay $600M for Clergy Abuse  7/14/07 - By Gillian Flaccus  - Los

the church's sexual abuse scandal, The Associated Press learned Saturday.   
Attorneys for the archdiocese and alleged victims are expected to announce the  
deal Monday, the day the first of more than 500 clergy abuse cases was 
scheduled 
 for jury selection, according to two people with knowledge of the agreement. 
The  sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the settlement had not 
been made  public.  The archdiocese and its insurers will pay between $600 
million and  $650 million to about 500 plaintiffs - an average of $1.2 million 
to 
$1.3  million per person. The settlement also calls for the release of 
confidential  priest personnel files after review by a judge assigned to 
oversee the  
litigation, the sources said.

[CTRL] Research reveals anatomy of suppressed memories

2007-07-13 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

Research reveals anatomy of suppressed memories: study 7/12/07 US
researchers have identified the parts of the brain that are involved with
suppressing
unpleasant memories, a finding that could have implications for treating
depression or post traumatic stress disorder, according to a study released
ThursdayThe concept of memory suppression has been a controversial one
among
psychologists for a century, but in this study neuroscientists used brain
scans to show that volunteers who have been asked to banish disturbing
memories
show very specific patterns of brain activity. The scans showed that two
specific regions of the prefrontal cortex -- what neuroscientists call the
seat
of cognitive control -- appear to work in tandem to modulate posterior brain
regions like the visual cortex, the hippocampus and amygdala. These areas are
involved in tasks such as visual recall, memory encoding and retrieval and
emotional expression. These results indicate memory suppression does occur,
and, at least in nonpsychiatric populations, is under the control of the
prefrontal cortex, the investigators reported in the journal Science. For the
purpose of the experiment, the 16 volunteers were given 40 pairs of photographs

to study. In each case, an image of a neutral human face was paired with an
emotionally disturbing image such as a car crash, a wounded soldier, an
electric
chair or a violent crime scene. After memorizing each pair, the volunteers
were placed in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner. Once inside the
machine, they were shown only the neutral face images and instructed to either
actively recall the associated image or to actively suppress it. The results
of the scans or fMRIs (functional magnetic resonance imaging) indicated that
the volunteers were able to exert some control over their emotional
memories, said Brendan Depue, a doctoral student in neuroscience at the
University
of Colorado at Boulder, and lead author of the study. By essentially shutting
down specific portions of the brain, they were able to stop the retrieval
process of particular memories, Depue said.

Traumatic Stress Induces Brain Change in Children 3/5/07 Michael Smith
Reviewed by Robert Jasmer, MD; Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine,
University of California, San Francisco Stanford, Calif., March 5 -- Children
with
post-traumatic stress disorder, similar to adults, show physical changes in
the
brain, according to researchers here. In a pilot study of 15 children,
higher PTSD scores and higher cortisol levels were significantly (P0.05)
correlated with relative decreases over time in the volume of the right
hippocampus,
reported Victor Carrion, M.D., of Stanford, and colleagues, reported in the
March issue of Pediatrics. On the other hand, there was no correlation with
changes in the left hippocampal volume, Dr. Carrion and colleagues found. In
adults, PTSD is associated with lower hippocampal volumes compared with
adults who do not have stress disorder, Dr. Carrion and colleagues noted, but
such
a relation hasn't been shown in children.

been a
controversial issue in psychology and cognitive neuroscience for decades. We
found
evidence that emotional memories are suppressed via two time-differentiated
neural mechanisms: (i) an initial suppression by the right inferior frontal
gyrus over regions supporting sensory components of the memory representation
(visual cortex, thalamus), followed by (ii) right medial frontal gyrus
control over regions supporting multimodal and emotional components of the
memory
representation (hippocampus, amygdala), both of which are influenced by
fronto-polar regions. These results indicate that memory suppression does occur

and, at least in nonpsychiatric populations, is under the control of prefrontal

regions. _http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/317/5835/215_

[CTRL] Ottawa settles brainwashing class action

2007-07-08 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-

fwd from L Moss Sharman - - Allan Memorial Institute. CIA-funded treatments
included electroshock, experimental medication Max Harrold - The
GazettePublished: 7/5/07 Decades after she was unknowingly brainwashed in a
program
funded by the federal government and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency,
Janine
Huard has found some peace of mind in a cash settlement. Exactly how much,
she can't say, because she agreed to keep the amount secret as part of her
deal to drop her class-action lawsuit against the federal governmentOn and
off for 15 years, Huard received massive electroshock therapy, experimental
pills and was forced to listen to repetitive recorded messages for days on end.

Huard's lawyer, Alan Stein, said the amount she received Tuesday does not
exceed the $100,000 the federal government paid to each of 77 other victims of
the brainwashing techniques in 1994. Huard also received some interest on the
money, he said. She and about 200 other victims of the treatments were denied
the 1994 offer because they were deemed to have suffered less than those who
were paid. In 1989, Huard was one of nine plaintiffs awarded $67,000 U.S.
from the CIA. Stein plans to seek permission to launch a new class-action
lawsuit in Federal Court within weeks with another former brainwashing
patient
as the central plaintiff. He knows of about 10 former patients and 20
relatives of former patients who may be part of the new lawsuit, he said. They
could
have access to $100,000, plus as much as $50,000 in interest, he
saidUntil 1964, the Allan's ex-director, Ewen Cameron, conducted
experiments at the
institute, often without the knowledge or permission of patients. Some
patients were kept in drug-induced comas for months. The experiments were part
of a
larger CIA program called MK-ULTRA, which saw LSD administered to U.S. prison
inmates and patrons of brothels without their knowledge, according to
testimony before a 1977 U.S. Senate committee. Huard entered the Allan in 1957
after suffering postpartum depression after the birth of her second child. Her
newborn had become ill and Huard was having trouble sleeping. Cameron used
his
experimental techniques on her, mistakenly believing they could treat
depression.

Their brainwashing included torture, rape, electroshock, powerful  drugs, 
hypnosis and death threats. According to their testimony, the CIA then  induced 
amnesia to prevent their recalling these terrifying sessions. Both Wolf  and 
her 
patients stated that they recovered the memories of this CIA program  without

[CTRL] 'Family Jewels' reveal CIA altered mind of four-year-old girl

'Family Jewels' reveal CIA altered mind of four-year-old girl By Robert  
Lusetich in Los Angeles 6/28/07 EASILY lost, on page 425, in the mass of the  
CIA's notorious Family Jewels files is a short paragraph outlining  
potentially 
embarrassing Agency activities. Experiments in influencing human  behaviour 
through the administration of mind- or personality-altering drugs to  
unwitting subjects.  Of all the heinous acts committed by the CIA in the  name 
of 
national security, these experiments, done on the agency's behalf by  prominent 
psychiatrists on innocent victims - including children as young as  four - may 
be the darkestIn 1953, MKULTRA was given six per cent of the  total CIA 
budget without any oversight.  Only the tip of a large iceberg  had been 
previously released by the CIA under Freedom of Information Act  provisions.  
Yesterday's acknowledgments will comfort those who have long  campaigned for 
truth 
and restitution. The nature of the experiments, gathered  from government 
documents and testimony in numerous lawsuits brought against the  CIA, is 
shocking, 
from testing LSD on children to implanting electrodes in  victims' brains to 
deliberately poisoning people with uranium. The CIA bought  my services from 
my grandfather in 1952 starting at the tender age of four,  wrote Carol Rutz 
of her experiences. Over the next 12 years, I was tested,  trained, and used 
in various ways. Electroshock, drugs, hypnosis, sensory  deprivation, and 
other types of trauma were used to make me complain and split  my personality 
(to 
create multiple personalities for specific tasks). Each  alter or 
personality was created to respond to a post-hypnotic trigger, then  perform an 
act and 
(I would) not remember it later. This Manchurian Candidate  program was just 
one of the operational uses of the mind-control scenario by the  CIA. Your 
hard-earned tax dollars supported this. The US began these  experiments after 
World War II when it made a grab for hundreds of Nazi  scientists and doctors 
who had been researching mind control in concentration  camps, fearing they 
would fall into Soviet hands. US military intelligence  leaders were paranoid 
that they were falling behind the communist bloc in the  brain-washing race. 
The 
programs, though carefully hidden, continued into the  1970s - when Helms 
ordered much of the documentation to be destroyed.

this one forwarded from L Moss Sharman Witness says he ferried men to homes
of alleged abusers; But at least one says the allegations are 'crazy' Terri
Saunders 6/21/07 Local News - A number of prominent Cornwall men spent time
at homes owned by a probation officer fingered as a child molester and a
Crown attorney charged with sexual assault in the 1990s, a witness told the
Cornwall Public Inquiry Wednesday. Gerald Renshaw said he personally observed
priests, businessmen and police officers at the home of Ken Seguin in
Summerstown
and at Malcolm MacDonald's cottage on Stanley Island in the 1980s and 1990s.
Seguin was a probation officer at the time who has been identified by a
number of witnesses at the inquiry as a perpetrator of sexual abuse against
young
boys. MacDonald was charged with a number of sex-related offences in March
1999 by officers with Project Truth, an OPP investigation into child sexual
abuse in the Cornwall area. MacDonald died in Florida in December 1999 before
his matter could go to trial and Seguin committed suicide in 1994 before he was
charged with any crime. On Wednesday, Renshaw testified he ferried people to
and from Seguin's house and MacDonald's cottage and named several people he
observed either at one or both locations, including current Crown attorney
Murray MacDonald, Rev. Charles MacDonald, former Cornwall Police Chief Claude
Shaver and city businessman Andre Pommier. How often did you see Charles
MacDonald there? asked Peter Engelmann, lead commission counsel. Once a week,

twice a week, said Renshaw. And Malcolm MacDonald? asked Engelmann.At
least that often, said Renshaw. Charles MacDonald and Ken Seguin had known
each other for quite a few years. They were very good friends.
During cross-examination Wednesday, an attorney for the
Alexandria-Cornwall Roman Catholic Diocese questioned Renshaw about the fact
he had no proof
any of the people he says he saw at either location were doing anything
wrong. You don't have any first-hand personal knowledge of any wrongdoing by
anyone at Ken Seguin's house or Malcolm MacDonald's cottage other than Ken
Seguin, said David Sherriff-Scott. Correct, said Renshaw.

The CIA's torture teachers
Psychologists helped the CIA exploit a secret military program to develop
brutal interrogation tactics -- likely with the approval of the Bush White
House.
By Mark Benjamin
There is growing evidence of high-level coordination between the Central
Intelligence Agency and the U.S. military in developing abusive interrogation
techniques used on terrorist suspects. After the Sept. 11 attacks, both turned
to a small cadre of psychologists linked to the military's secretive
Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape program to reverse-engineer
techniques
originally designed to train U.S. soldiers to resist torture if captured, by
exposing them to brutal treatment. The military's use of SERE training for
interrogations in the war on terror was revealed in detail in a recently
declassified report. But the CIA's use of such tactics -- working in close
coordination with the military -- until now has remained largely unknown.

According to congressional sources and mental healthcare professionals
knowledgeable about the secret program who spoke with Salon, two CIA-employed
psychologists, James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, were at the center of the
program, which likely violated the Geneva Conventions on the treatment of
prisoners.
The two are currently under investigation: Salon has learned that Daniel
Dell'Orto, the principal deputy general counsel at the Department of Defense,
sent a document preservation order on May 15 to the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and other top Pentagon officials forbidding the destruction of
any document mentioning Mitchell and Jessen or their psychological consulting
firm, Mitchell, Jessen and Associates, based in Spokane, Wash. Dell'Orto's
order was in response to a May 1 request from Sen. Carl Levin, the Democratic
chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who is investigating the
abuse of prisoners in U.S. custody.

Documents offer unflattering view of CIA
By JENNIFER C. KERR, Associated Press Writer Fri Jun 22, 5:21 AM ET
WASHINGTON - Little-known documents now being made public detail illegal and
scandalous activities by the CIA more than 30 years ago: wiretappings of
journalists, kidnappings, warrantless searches and more.
The documents provide a glimpse of nearly 700 pages of materials that the
agency plans to declassify next week. A six-page summary memo that was
declassified in 2000 and released by The National Security Archive at George
Washington University on Thursday outlines 18 activities by the CIA that
presented
legal questions and were discussed with President Ford in 1975.

House passes landmark child abuse bill, 41-0 - Minor amendment sends S.B. 29
back to Senate; easy confirmation expected By Beth Miller, The News Journal
Posted Wednesday, 6/20/07 Dover -- Delaware's House of Representatives passed
what one law professor called the strongest bill for child sexual abuse
victims in the country by a 41-0 vote Tuesday. Senate Bill 29 eliminates the
two-year civil statute of limitations in cases of child sexual abuse. It also
provides a two-year window during which claims previously barred by statute
could be filed -- opening the courthouse door to victims unable to seek
justice
because the statute of limitations had expired. Institutions that allowed the
abuse to occur through gross negligence also could be sued.

Police Smash Global Pedophile Ring By D'arcy Doran AP 6/18/07 London -- A
team of international investigators infiltrated an Internet chat room used by
pedophiles who streamed live videos of children being raped, rescuing 31
children and identifying more than 700 suspects worldwide. Undercover officers
in
Britain, the U.S., Canada and Australia busted up the pedophile ring using
surveillance techniques more commonly associated with fighting terrorism and
organized crime. Police shattered a global Internet pedophile ring, rescuing
31 children and rounding up more than 700 suspects worldwide, authorities said
Monday. Some 200 suspects are based in the United Kingdom, said the Child
Exploitation and Online Protection Center, or CEOP. The ring was traced to an
Internet chat room called Kids the Light of Our Lives that featured images
of children being subjected to horrific sexual abuse including streaming live
videos of the abuse. The chat room, which was called Kids the Light of Our
Lives, featured images, including live videos, of children _ some only months

CIA Ran Secret Prisons for Detainees in Europe, Says  Inquiry
By Stephen Grey
The Guardian  UK
Friday 08 June 2007
The CIA  operated secret prisons in Europe where terrorism suspects could be 
interrogated  and were allegedly tortured, an official inquiry will conclude  
today.
Despite denials by their governments, senior Polish  and Romanian security 
officials have confirmed to the Council of Europe that  their countries were 
used to hold some of America's most important prisoners  captured after 9/11 in 
secret.
None of the prisoners had  access to the Red Cross and many were subject to 
what George Bush has called the  CIA's enhanced interrogation, which critics 
have condemned as torture.  Although suspicions about the secret CIA prisons 
have existed for more than a  year, the council's report, seen by the Guardian, 
appears to offer the first  concrete evidence. It also details the prisons' 
operations and the identities of  some of the prisoners.
The council has also established  that within weeks of the 9/11 attacks, Nato 
signed an agreement with the US that  allowed civilian jets used by the CIA 
during its so-called extraordinary  rendition programme to move across member 
states' airspace. Its report states:  We have sufficient grounds to declare 
that the highest state authorities were  aware of the CIA's illegal activities 
on their territories. The council's  investigators believe that agreement may 
have been illegal.

[CTRL] ‘God’s banker’ murder su spects acquitted

2007-06-07 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-












‘God’s banker’ murder suspects acquitted By Tony Barber in Rome   6/6/07 All 
five defendants in one of modern Europe’s most mysterious murder  cases were 
acquitted on Wednesday of killing Roberto Calvi, the Italian  financier known 
as ”God’s banker” on account of his illicit work on behalf of  the Vatican’s 
bank. The Rome court where the case had been heard since October  2005 
acquitted four defendants on the grounds that there was ”insufficient  proof” 
that 
they had murdered Calvi. The court fully acquitted the fifth. The  verdict was 
delivered almost exactly 25 years after Calvi’s body was found  hanging from 
Blackfriars Bridge in London, his clothes stuffed with bricks,  stones and 
large amounts of cash in international currenciesAlthough British  police 
in 
1982 treated Calvi’s death as a suicide, the authorities in Rome were  
convinced that it was linked to his connections with the Vatican’s bank, the  
secret 
Propaganda Due (P2) masonic lodge and Italian political parties. Calvi,  who 
was chairman of Banco Ambrosiano, a private bank, laundered money through  the 
Vatican’s bank, financed clandestine arms deals and channelled funds  
illegally to Italy’s political parties. Banco Ambrosiano collapsed soon after  
his 
death.  Prosecutors alleged at the trial that Mr Calò and the three  other male 
defendants killed Calvi because they wanted to punish him for  embezzling mafia 
funds, protect the profits from Banco Ambrosiano’s illegal  activities, and 
prevent Calvi from revealing everything he knew about the  Vatican’s bank, P2 
and other sensitive matters.

Calvi murder: The mystery of God's banker - It was a trial which promised  to 
solve the 25-year old case of Roberto Calvi, who was found hanged under  
Blackfriars Bridge. But yesterday a judge acquitted all five defendants By 
Peter  
Popham and Philip Willan in Rome and Robert Verkaik  6/7/07   Twenty-five 
years after the event, the trial of the alleged killers of Roberto  Calvi has 
ended with the sensational acquittal of all five defendants: a  Sardinian 
property 
dealer and his mistress, a Mafia accountant already serving  life for other 
offences, a Roman loan shark and the banker's one-time bodyguard,  all are 
absolved. Yet it would be a mistake to say we are back at square one. In  the 
snail-like progress of this case since that day in June 1982 when the  Italian 
banker was found at the end of a rope under Blackfriars Bridge, there  has been 
a 
major step forward. Evidence strong enough to convict the five was  missing, 
decided Judge Mario Lucio d'Andria. But there is no longer much room  for 
doubt that Roberto Calvi was murdered.

Chance discovery of abused child reveals bizarre Czech grail cult  By  Daniel 
McLaughlin in Budapest  6/2/07 When police searched the area on 10  May, 
sisters Klara and Katerina Mauerova allegedly refused to open a locked door  in 
their home. When firemen broke it down, they found Klara's eight-year-old son  
Ondrej inside, bound with duct tape, badly dehydrated and watched over by a  
video camera. Investigators believed Ondrej had been maltreated for six months, 
 
and he was taken into care with his brother Jakub and a girl called Anna, 
whom a  court had allowed Klara Mauerova to adopt in March. What was just a 
case 
of  child abuse seized the nation's attention, however, when Anna disappeared 
from a  children's home, sparking a search for her in nearby woods and 
villages. Then  came the bizarre revelation that Anna was not a 13-year-old 
girl, 
but a  34-year-old woman in disguise. Police believe Anna was actually 
Barbara  Skrlova, a friend of the Mauerova sisters who, like them, belongs to a 
breakaway  faction of an organisation called the Grail Movement.  The Grail 
Movement  follows the teachings of Oskar Ernst Bernhardt, a German also known 
as  
Abd-ru-shin, who from 1923-38 wrote the Grail Message, which depicts man as a  
being whose spirit can return to its source in heaven by performing good deeds  
on Earth. It claims to have at least 10,000 followers worldwide, including  
several hundred in Britain. We broke with the people involved in this 11 years 
 ago, after they added to the Grail Message with their own imaginings and  
fantasies, said Artur Zaplukal, spokesman of the Grail Movement in the Czech  
Republic, where it has about 1,500 followers. I sent them a letter telling 
them  they were no longer part of the Grail Movement.

Ann Diamond’s MY COLD WAR is a journey into their nightmare, and beyond. It  
also takes readers into the wold of ”remote viewing”, a technique of psychic  
espionage which the military developed for use in warfare.  If governments  
are still funding research aimed at unlocking the secrets of the mind in order  
to use them to enslave human beings, Diamond suggests ordinary people can 
defeat  the frightening scenario. MY COLD WAR is a step toward remembering the 
darker  side of the 1950’s, the Cold War decade which, even today, remains 
shrouded in  secrecy. _http://lulu.com/diamondback_

Mengele on Mount Royal  by Kristian Gravenor Diamond believes that  Mengele 
was involved with the Allan experiments. Cameron and Mengele’s timelines  
dovetail: Both were in Bavaria in 1945 (Mengele was hiding, Cameron was at the  
Nuremberg Trials). Cameron was keen on some controversial ideas. For example, 
he  
supported an application in 1956 to explore links between schizophrenia and 
eye  colour, Mengele’s pet obsession.  Diamond has integrated her research into 
 an unpublished 310-page manuscript called My Cold War. You can download it 
for a  few bucks from _www.lulu.com_ (http://www.lulu.com/) , it’s in novel  
form, and since it’s not printed on paper, she can change it at any time.

[CTRL] Deployment raises abuse risk in military families

-Caveat Lector-













Deployment raises abuse risk in military families 5/14/07  New York  (Reuters 
Health) Children in military families are at greater risk of  maltreatment 
after a parent is deployed to conflict areas -- and after the  parent returns, 
a new study suggests. The rate of child maltreatment doubled  among Texas 
military families in the nine months after October 2002, when  Congress gave 
President George Bush the go-ahead to send troops to Iraq, the  researchers 
found. 
Both departures to and returns from operational deployment  impose stresses 
on military families and likely increase the rate of child  maltreatment, Dr. 
E. Danielle Rentz of the University of North Carolina in  Chapel Hill and her 
colleagues write in the American Journal of Epidemiology.  Such increases in 
child maltreatment may also extend to families at risk of  being deployed.

[CTRL] Court says Loftus actions “beyond th e pale”

2007-05-15 Thread Smart News

-Caveat Lector-











Court says Loftus actions “beyond the pale”  By John Thomas -  Editor 
Emeritus The National Psychologist  - Vol. 16, No. 3 May/June  2007  Pages 1  
5.  
The California Supreme Court said that  actions Elizabeth Loftus, PhD,. Took 
to discredit a case study article  describing repressed memories may be “ 
considered beyond the pale” and ordered a  trial to consider whether those 
actions 
constitute an invasion of privacy. The  court held that there is sufficient 
evidence that Loftus misrepresented   herself to a young woman’s foster mother 
in order to obtain confidential  and  intimate details about repressed memories 
of alleged sexual abuse to  warrant a trial on privacy invasion issues. “We 
believe it is important to  recognize that there are at lease some types of 
misrepresentations that are of  such an especially egregious and offensive 
nature 
– and are quite  distinguishable from the types of ruses that ordinarily may 
be employed in  gathering news – that they properly may be considered ‘beyond 
the pale’ . . .  even when the misrepresentation is made to friends or 
relatives of the subject  of an inquiry who are under no legal obligation not 
to 
reveal private  information,” the court found in a 5 – 2 ruling. Loftus, a 
University of  California at Irvine professor of psychology and one of the 
world’s 
leading  researchers in repressed memories, has denied that she misrepresented 
herself  during an hours-long meeting with the former foster motherThe 
former foster  mother said that she became suspicious during the interview with 
Loftus and  later testified that she would never have told them some of the 
intimate details  of her foster daughter’s life if she had known Loftus 
misrepresented her  relationship with Corwin, with whom both she and Taus had a 
trusting  relationship.  “In our view,” the court wrote, “intentionally  
misrepresenting oneself as an  associate or colleague of a mental health  
professional 
who has a close relationship with the person about whom one is  seeking 
information would be a particularly serious type of misrepresentation,  and one 
significantly different from the more familiar practice of a news  reporter or 
investigator in shading or  withholding information regarding  his or her 
motives 
when interviewing a  potential news source.”   Further, the court added, “We 
believe that if a trier of fact were to find  Loftus engaged in the particular 
type of misrepresentations alleged by (the  former foster mother) the conduct 
properly could be found ‘highly offensive’ for  purposes of the 
intrusion-into-private-matters tort and liability could be  imposed upon 
Loftus.” Loftus 
told The National Psychologist that she is pleased  that the court held all but 
one of the allegations lodged against her by Taus  have been dismissed at the 
trial court level under California’s 1992 Strategic  Lawsuits Against Public 
Participation (SLAPP) statute, which protects actions  that fall within the 
constitutional rights of petition and free speech. Under  that statute, Loftus 
is entitled to be reimbursed for the costs of appealing the  case to the court 
of appeals and the state supreme court. “I’m gratified that  the vast 
majority of claims were dismissed and the costs of defending those  claims are 
to be 
reimbursed,” she said. Loftus added that if the invasion of  privacy claim 
goes to trial she is confident she will be able to prove the  allegations made 
by 
the former foster mother are untrue.” “Ot is too bad that  scholars and 
scientists and journalists in the future may be forced to go to  trial when 
someone falsely claims there was a misrepresentation,” Loftus said.  
“Journalists 
have long known about the dangers of ‘source remorse,’ which is why  the major 
media filed an amicus brief on our behalf.”Joyanna Silberg, PhD.,  of 
Baltimore, executive vice president of the Leadership Council on Child Abuse   
Interpersonal Violence, said the ruling “supports the discipline of  psychology 
by bolstering ethical and scientific research guidelines with the  added 
authority of law.” The Leadership Council has filed an amicus brief  supporting 
Taus. Silberg said the behavior Loftus is accused of is outside the  boundaries 
of any acceptable research protocol. “There are ways to do  scientifically 
acceptable research even on case studies, but not by defrauding  people to gain 
confidential information surreptitiously,” she added.”
