Podesta's middle finger bears a deep scar where it appears chunks have been dug out, healed and re-damaged. Abramovich refers to 'cutting deeply into the middle finger & eating the pain'. Sacrificing fingers to satan appears common in rituals:

... who cut off their own fingers and offer them to Satan to make him more potent. “It was considered an honor among satanists to have one or more fingers missing,” says one cult member.(20) Sometimes the phallus or the finger is actually eaten, an act very effective in restoring potency

Michelle Remembers is a book about a child's memories of ritual abuse. She talks about people having their middle fingers cut off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Remembers

Another account of fingers being butchered to offer to Satan: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/05/texas-couple-kellers-released-prison-satanic-abuse

I notice that every single article about Laurence Pazder's book Michelle Remembers refers to it being 'debunked', 'discredited' and a case of false memory syndrome. Pazder was later called upon to act as an expert in the McMartin Preschool trial. No wonder victims don't come forward--they're vilified by the judicial system and the press. They're told they're wrong, they're maligned and branded as 'attention-seeking' and 'crazy'. And their therapists don't come forward either:

“Good luck with your life,” said another child therapist, one of whose patients is among the children making such accusations. “My car was blown up ten days ago.”

Here is another article with firsthand accounts of child victims of satanic rituals. It talks about the therapists not speaking because of death threats and threats of violence towards family members. The children give personal accounts of rituals, being hung upside down, being forced to eat faeces and drink blood and urine.

..they take little children and tie them up; put them In cages and tunnels; beat and torture them; turn them upside down and hold them in water; cut, stab and rape them; force them to eat their feces and drink their urine and blood; and disembowel, dismember and kill them while ejaculating

Lastly, the following mentions politicians being expected to do things before being chosen to be elected; a city under Washington DC where satanic rituals are performed; Jay Z and Kanye and other artists being raped, sodomised before being allowed to become famous.
