I just want to say that because of the great work that you are all doing in fighting for the children, some survivors might now feel that someone has their backs and may come forward with their stories. I think it's already happening and slowly victims and their parents are coming forward.
I just want to remind everyone that the victims may be suffering from PTSD.. Please be sensitive to their needs. This guy has done a fabulous interview with this mother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkYoMWcH8Ok He let her speak, tell her story and followed her lead. I thought David Seaman could have been a bit more sensitive to Becki Percy. If anyone interviews a victim, just be mindful that these people have been living in a hostile environment where they haven't been believed. Be a soft place for them to fall and not a triggering factor for them.

My mother was a psychiatric nurse at the height of the SRA scandal that subsequently turned into "fake memories"...there were a whole lot of victims at that time. Her take, after hearing the stories, meeting the people and being involved in the therapy sessions, was that the victims were legit and telling the truth.
She wrote off the "fake memories" push as a measure to decrease expenses on the part of insurers...which is a constant in healthcare, however; we know that it was different fuckery afoot. In fact, funding for psychiatric care pretty much dried up after this, forcing her to go into home health care. EDIT: I will ask her again about the whole time period..it has been years since we talked about it...I would like to hear the details again. WIll report back with anything interesting.

False memory proponents where in bed with pedos orgs in the 80's-90's. Some of these shrinks were pedos themselves and Satanists Some were CIA. I will try to find linkies. I am a survivor of SRA and have studied this topic for 2 decades.

Thank you for posting, Stellarcorpse. Would love to read what you find.

Castlewood Treatment Center in Ballwin Mo. for Drug and Eating Disorders. The therapist there, Mark Schwartz is being sued for brainwashing his patients. Quite a few patients have come out and said that they are having Satanic Ritual Nightmares. They have no recollection of these things happenings and are horrified. I truthfully believe they were either MK Ultra or Project Monarch or other mind control and these things really did happen. We shall see what happens when the cases go to court. Highly suspicious. Actually this ties in with other things that are going on in St. Louis and St. Charles County Mo. with the Archdiocese and organ and sex trafficking. You can;t make this stuff up. It writes it;s own story. The SRA is horrid.

Maybe they are suing him because they can't accept the horrible reality of the abuse they survived, and they want to believe it was brainwashing ???

Sounds like MK-Ultra or similar for sure. And likely he is a Satanist himself. Probably doing rituals on his patients (with a Coven or Cult) then mind controlling them into forgetting. Or he is working with Gov in secret project like MK-Ultra. Or both. Some cult member higher ups are CIA or other Gov. like military, (think Michael Aquino of Temple of Set), this is why they are often so adept at brainwashing & mind control techniques.. CIA has infiltrated some Secret Societies for a while now. Will have to check out this case. Very interesting.

Posted this orginally in the wrong place:
All this talk of ritual abuse makes me think of the "therapeutical youth programs" that I am sure are still around today, but were very prominent in the 90's and early 2000's (up until around '07 when more light was shed).
Long story short, there were tons of youth programs (residential units) modeled off of the CEDU platform. CEDU (Charles E. Dederich University) was a therapeuitcal program started in Southern California. It is alleged to have been developed out of Synanon. For those of you that don't know about Synanon and Charles Dederich, a google search is all you need to learn about the behavior mod cult.
The program I was held in was located in Montana, and I know they were prevalent in Montana, Idaho, and Utah, maybe more. From personal experience I can tell you there was serious ritual abuse. The abuses were on a scale from "minor" things like food and sleep deprivation (I only say minor because of the extremity of other abuses) to extreme things such as sexual and physical abuse. Kids disappeared, never to be seen again. It was rumored they were killed for saving information and trying to get it out (all communication was monitored and mostly prevented), or abducted for far more sinister purposes.
Most staff had SERIOUS interest in the sexual experiences of students (with an emphasis on wanting to hear about stories of rape, etc.), and crossed boundaries of physical contact BLATANTLY IN THE OPEN. This stuff wasn't even hidden behind closed doors. They used psychology and behavior modification to make kids think it was normal and okay.
For me, this nightmare lasted two entire years until I turned 16. And the after effects continue to this day. Even as I write this I shake. I have dealt with constant PTSD (I had already experienced ritual abuse when I was forced into the program, but it got far worse), insomnia, and a seeming impossibility to trust anyone or anything. I have even been called a sociopath by a doctor who did not understand that when you experience something like this, you no longer experience things like emotions in the way a "normal" person does.
If anyone wants more information, I am happy to share. There were very well documented efforts by wealthy people (including the man who owned the program I was held at) who spent millions lobbying against the creation of a Montana state board to monitor youth programs. Some time around 2007 legislation finally passed, and it seems things have gotten better. I am not sure how this all relates, but just wanted to share.

Thank you for sharing, bkush. Please write your story & archive in some way. It would be great if we could gather & preserve as many survivor stories as possible.

My Mom was a psych nurse from late 80's-early 90's at an inpatient facility. Maybe I should do a recorded interview w/her? Any interest there?
lil_red_riding_hood ago
It'd be a good idea. Since abusees seem to be scared of coming forward.

Keep us posted.
