**False Memory Syndrome Foundation **

• Since I posted about the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) last week regarding research showing they are full of shit, I have been looking into the FMSF extensively for the first time in over 10 years. Although some here may know or believe this, I have found extremely strong ties between the C I A and the FMSF, which I will do a separate post on, if anyone is interested.

National Center for Reason and Justice

• During this research, I have found a couple of other organizations that bear striking similarities to the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. One is the National Center for Reason and Justice: NCRJ.org

• I searched Voat and found very few references to NCRJ here on the PG Forum. For starters, check out this editorial letter the National Center for Reason and Justice sent to the NY Times after NY Times published an article about the trauma of childhood abuse.

• http://ncrj.org/the-ncrj-responds-to-new-york-times-article-the-price-of-a-stolen-childhood/

• This is beyond suspicious. They are going out of their way to say that childhood sexual abuse does not really affect survivors negatively, and they talk about dissociation like it is a MYTH. They put the word in quotes! This is incorrect, ignorant, unscientific; I could go on and on.

• NCRJ has at least one connection, and I'm sure many more, to FMSF, and that is Elizabeth Loftus, the psychologist who is always used to deny repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse survivors based on her incredibly shoddy and old research study which claims false memories are real. There are extensive problems with Loftus and the views she purports. The NCRJ's website also link's to the FMSF's website as seen here: https://ncrj.org/links/

• I actually came across the NCRJ looking into a case similar to Larry Nassar's and Jerry Sandusky's that has received far less attention, which I can also focus on in a future post.

National Child Abuse Defense and Resource Center

• I also came across another organization called the National Child Abuse Defense and Resource Center. Innocent sounding name, huh? Their website: http://www.falseallegation.org/

• They focus on helping those who have supposedly been falsely accused of child abuse. There is MUCH more digging to be done on that site, including a list of judges and attorneys who work with the organization.

I want to point out that I don't think false allegations NEVER happen, but I think they are very rare. According to all the research I have seen, false allegations of both childhood sexual abuse and all allegations of rape are found to be false in about 1 to 4% of cases. 1 to 4 %. I think false allegations are horrible, but the truth is, the number of those happening pale in comparison to the actual numbers of children being sexually abused. Think about it. 1 to 4 % are found to be false, supposedly. That is THE ONES THAT ARE REPORTED! We also know that most if not nearly all childhood sexual abuse NEVER goes reported.

• We can see from the letter that the NCRJ sent to the NY Times that there is a sinister agenda going on here. To put it mildly, they are discrediting actual science and psychological research, stating that dissociation and repression are not real. THAT IS A LIE. Excuse the caps, I'm getting worked up here due to my anger at this injustice.

• Here is an article from the Recovered Memory Project that speaks out against the NCRJ's letter to the NY Times, called "NCRJ Reveals Itself": https://blogs.brown.edu/recoveredmemory/2013/02/09/ncrj-reveals-itself/

**The Leadership Council on Child Abuse and Interpersonal Violence **

• And now, an organization that seems to the doing the opposite of those above. I haven't looked into it extensively, but it appears that The Leadership Council on Child Abuse and Interpersonal Violence seems to be sending the opposite message of NCRJ and FMSF. In other words, it appears they are on OUR side. Link: http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/index.html

• The website links to research showing that false allegations of childhood sexual abuse are RARE. They also speak out against Elizabeth Loftus, a psychologist who lies about her own profession's knowledge and research, saying repressed memories and Dissociation are not real.

• They also have an article titled "Failing Child Sexual Abuse Victims & Protecting Their Predators: Family Courts are as Guilty as Michigan State, US Olympic Officials, and Penn State," which can be found here: http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/docs/PR2018.pdf

Ok, that was my best attempt to compile and summarize what I have been looking into the past few days. Interested in any comments/feedback anyone may have. KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT, fellow voaters.
