I know. I can't believe it either. I was hoping we would take this approach with pizzagate because if you read the entire research written by this man, he gives a format on how to go about raising awareness and disseminating information regarding such issues in a way which upholds credibility.

In his preface, Kenneth Lanning states:

"I have devoted more than seven years part­time, and eleven years full-time, of my profes­sional life to researching, training, and consulting in the area of the sexual victimization of children. The issues of child sexual abuse and exploitation are a big part of my professional life's work. I have no reason to deny their existence or nature. In fact, I have done everything I can to make people more aware of the problem. Some have even blamed me for helping to create the hysteria that has led to these bizarre allegations. I can accept no outside income and am paid the same salary by the FBI whether or not children are abused and exploited-and whether the number is one or one million. As someone deeply con­cerned about and professionally committed to the issue, I did not lightly question the allegations of hundreds of victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation..."

"The reason I have taken the position I have is not because I support or believe in "satanism/' but because I sincerely believe that my approach is the proper and most effective investigative strategy. I believe that my approach is in the best interest of victims of child sexual abuse. It would have been easy to sit back, as many have, and say nothing publicly about this controversy. I have spoken out and published on this issue because I am concerned about the credibility of the child sexual abuse issue and outraged that, in some cases, individuals are getting away with molest­ing children because we cannot prove the allega­tions of some people that these individuals are satanic devil worshipers who engage in brain­washing, human sacrifice, and cannibalism as part of a large conspiracy."

"We need to be concerned about the distribu­tion and publication of unsubstantiated allega­tions of bizarre sexual abuse. Information needs to be disseminated to encourage communication and research about the phenomena. The risks, however, of intervenor and victim "contagion" and public hysteria are potential negative aspects of such dissemination. Because of the highly emotional and often religious nature of this topic, there is a greater possibility that the spreading of information will result in a kind of self-fulfilling prophesy. If such extreme allegations are going to be disseminated to the general public, they must be presented in the context of being assessed and evaluated, at least, from the professional perspec­tive of the disserninator and, at best, also from the professional perspective of relevant others. This is what I will attempt to do in this discussion."

What he is saying here is right on the money with our situation with pizzagate. What do you think?
