Preface:

This thread is likely to be very controversial for some, due to the nature of the underlying subject and the supporting material presented. The content of this post/thread is of an extremely unsettling nature in terms of the crimes outlined and the peripheral details which will be explored.

Keeping in mind that just about every(if not all) religions have been exploited/misused by corrupt persons who later scapegoat said religion(s) if ever found out, this thread will also be explaining how Satanism has been constantly misrepresented by 'elites' and confused/corrupted lay-people, feeding the pervasive "Satanic Panic" and "SRA" narratives, which in turn act as a diversionary/scapegoat tactic for leading people on goose chases/witch hunts and perpetuating cognitive dissonance/in-fighting.

Yes, some people who claim to be Satanists, have abused their knowledge and betrayed/abused the rights of others(making them, technically, pseudo-satanists), at which point, if found out, they point the finger at Satanism and/or all Satanists; it's called misdirection/mass-hysteria and it confuses everyone just long enough for deals to be made and for the perpetrator(s) to slip through the cracks.

Not all events/subjects discussed here have elements of "Satanic Panic", some degree of relevance is involved herein or in peripheral research, though.

The morbid events outlined herein, which are often falsely attributed as being the product of Satanism, have been used to manipulate legal systems, politics and the overall meta of Hollywood in order to simultaneously attack Satanists(and other religions), warp the minds of the masses(especially psychologically vulnerable individuals) and funnel funds 'up the line' to other nefarious parties; ie, blaming Satanism and labeling every instance of child abuse as "Satanic" is yet another diversionary tactic by those pulling the strings from across the globe & in the USA alike.

For the record: I do not at all, condone nor seek to vindicate the actions of RLMR, nor anyone who claims to be representing "Satan" or Satanism/Satanists when abusing the rights of others - indeed, they are betraying/misusing their knowledge, or, in some cases, are simply ignorant/corrupted individuals.

With the above in mind and remembering Voorhees | Corey Feldman | Stand By Me | Rob Reiner | Rainer Rd | West Memphis 3 from Root Of Corruption Part 10(i, ii, iii, iv, v), let's take a look at the McMartin preschool trial...

Starting with Ira Reiner

Ira Kenneth Reiner (born February 15, 1936) is an American lawyer.

Career

He was the Los Angeles City Controller from 1977 to 1981, and was the Los Angeles City Attorney from 1981 to 1984, both times being succeeded by James Hahn. He was the Los Angeles County District Attorney from 1984 to 1992.[1] As District Attorney he supervised the prosecution of several notorious cases, including the murder trial of Richard Ramírez, the widely publicized police arrest of Rodney King, and the McMartin preschool trial, the best known case of day care sex abuse hysteria.

In 1990 Reiner was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for California Attorney General, losing to Arlo Smith, who in turn was defeated by Republican Dan Lungren. In 1992 Reiner sought re-election as District Attorney, but trailed Gil Garcetti in the June non-partisan primary. Initially Reiner stayed in the race, but in September he dropped out.[2]

After retirement from office he entered private practice with the firm of Riley and Reiner.[3]

Richard Ramirez

Ricardo Leyva Muñoz Ramírez, known as Richard Ramirez (February 29, 1960 – June 7, 2013), was an American serial killer, rapist, and burglar. His highly publicized home invasion crime spree terrorized the residents of the greater Los Angeles area, and later the residents of the San Francisco area, from June 1984 until August 1985. Prior to his capture, Ramirez was dubbed the "Night Stalker" by the news media. He used a wide variety of weapons, including handguns, knives, a machete, a tire iron, and a hammer. Ramirez, who was an avowed Satanist, never expressed any remorse for his crimes. The judge who upheld his thirteen death sentences remarked that Ramirez's deeds exhibited "cruelty, callousness, and viciousness beyond any human understanding".[1] Ramirez died of complications from B-cell lymphoma while awaiting execution on California's death row.

What went wrong?

Theory:

Satanism is not the defining/root element of RLMR's crimes; I believe that his early life/upbringing and the combined effects of mainstream-media-fueled "Satanic Panic" hysteria/cognitive dissonance surrounding gruesome crimes of that time period + the Hollywood meta(running themes and deeper curiosities of popular/cult-following movies) + his looking into Satanism with the aforementioned as a backdrop, led to severe psychological issues culminating in a spree of murders.

Ultimately, I believe the media and courts and indeed, RLMR's own actions, led the masses to excessively attribute his crimes as being a product of Satanism alone.

Early life and education

Ramirez was born in El Paso, Texas, on February 29, 1960, the youngest of Julian and Mercedes Ramirez's five children.[2] His father, a Mexican national and former Juarez policeman who later became a laborer on the Santa Fe railroad,[3] was a hard-working man prone to fits of anger that often resulted in physical abuse.[4]

As a child, Ramirez sustained two serious head injuries. When he was two years old a dresser fell on top of him, causing a forehead laceration requiring 30 stitches to close.[5] When he was five years old he was knocked unconscious by a swing at a park,[6] after which he experienced frequent epileptic seizures that persisted into his early teens.[7]

As a 12-year-old he was strongly influenced by his older cousin, Miguel ("Mike"),[8] a decorated U.S. Army Green Beret combat veteran who often boasted of his gruesome exploits during the Vietnam War. He shared Polaroid photos of his victims, including Vietnamese women he had raped.[9] In some of the photos Mike posed with the severed head of a woman he had abused.[10]

Ramirez, who had smoked marijuana since the age of 10, bonded with Mike over many joints and gory war stories.[11] Mike taught his young cousin some of his military skills, such as killing with stealth and surety.[12] Around this time, Ramirez began to seek escape from his father's violent temper by sleeping in a local cemetery.[12]

"Richie", as he was known to his family, was present on May 4, 1973, when Mike fatally shot his wife Jessie in the face with a .38 caliber revolver, during a domestic argument.[13] After the shooting Richie became sullen and withdrawn from his family and peers. Later that year, he moved in with his older sister Ruth and her husband Roberto, an obsessive "peeping Tom" who took Richie along on his nocturnal exploits.[14] Ramirez also began using LSD and cultivated an interest in Satanism.[15]

Mike was found not guilty of Jessie's murder by reason of insanity (with his combat record as a mitigating factor) and was released in 1977, after four years of incarceration at the Texas State Mental Hospital. His influence over Richard continued.[16][17]

The adolescent Ramirez began to meld his burgeoning sexual fantasies with violence, including forced bondage and rape.[18] While still in school, he took a job at a local Holiday Inn, where he used his passkey to rob sleeping patrons.[19] His employment ended abruptly after a hotel guest returned to his room to find Ramirez attempting to rape his wife.[20] Though the husband beat Ramirez senseless at the scene, criminal charges were dropped when the couple, who lived out of state, declined to return to testify against him.[21]

Ramirez dropped out of Jefferson High School in the ninth grade.[22][23] At the age of 22 he moved to California, where he settled permanently.[24]

Interestingly enough, elements of RLMR's upbringing, partially mirror that of Ed Gein in some ways, albeit somewhat abstract.

Ed Gein:

Early life

Ed Gein was born in La Crosse County, Wisconsin, USA, on August 27, 1906,[2] the second of two boys of George Philip Gein (1873–1940[4]) and Augusta Wilhelmine (née Lehrke) Gein (1878–1945[5]). Gein had an older brother, Henry George Gein (1901–1944[6]). Augusta despised her husband, an alcoholic who was unable to keep a job; he had worked at various times as a carpenter, tanner, and insurance salesman. George owned a local grocery shop for a few years, but sold the business, and the family left the city to live in isolation on a 155-acre farm in the Town of Plainfield in Waushara County, Wisconsin,[7] which became the Gein family's permanent residence.[8]

Augusta took advantage of the farm's isolation by turning away outsiders who could have influenced her sons.[8] Edward left the farm only to attend school. Outside of school, he spent most of his time doing chores on the farm. Augusta was fervently religious, and nominally Lutheran. She preached to her boys about the innate immorality of the world, the evil of drinking, and her belief that all women were naturally prostitutes and instruments of the devil. She reserved time every afternoon to read to them from the Bible, usually selecting graphic verses from the Old Testament concerning death, murder, and divine retribution.[9]

Edward was shy, and classmates and teachers remembered him as having strange mannerisms, such as seemingly random laughter, as if he were laughing at his own personal jokes. To make matters worse, his mother punished him whenever he tried to make friends. Despite his poor social development, he did fairly well in school, particularly in reading.[8]

Deaths in immediate family

  • On April 1, 1940, Ed's father George died of heart failure caused by his alcoholism; he was 66 years old.
  • Henry began dating a divorced, single mother of two and planned on moving in with her; Henry worried about his brother's attachment to their mother and often spoke ill of her around Ed, who responded with shock and hurt.

On May 16, 1944, Henry and Ed were burning away marsh vegetation on the property;[10] the fire got out of control, drawing the attention of the local fire department. By the end of the day – the fire having been extinguished and the firefighters gone – Ed reported his brother missing. With lanterns and flashlights, a search party searched for Henry, whose dead body was found lying face down.[11] Apparently, he had been dead for some time, and it appeared that the cause of death was heart failure, since he had not been burned or injured otherwise.[11] It was later reported, in Harold Schechter's biography of Gein, Deviant, that Henry had bruises on his head.[12][13] The police dismissed the possibility of foul play and the county coroner later officially listed asphyxiation as the cause of death.[8][13] The authorities accepted the accident theory, but no official investigation was conducted and an autopsy was not performed.[14] Some suspected that Ed Gein killed his brother. Questioning Gein about the death of Bernice Worden in 1957, state investigator Joe Wilimovsky brought up questions about Henry's death.[10] Dr. George W. Arndt, who studied the case, wrote that, in retrospect, it was "possible and likely" that Henry's death was "the "Cain and Abel" aspect of this case".[15]

  • Augusta had a paralyzing stroke shortly after Henry's death, and Gein devoted himself to taking care of her.
  • Sometime in 1945, Gein later recounted, he and his mother visited a man named Smith, who lived nearby, to purchase straw. According to Gein, Augusta witnessed Smith beating a dog. A woman inside the Smith home came outside and yelled to stop. Smith beat the dog to death. Augusta was extremely upset by this scene. What bothered her did not appear to be the brutality toward the dog but the presence of the woman. Augusta told Ed that the woman was not married to Smith so had no business being there. "Smith's harlot", Augusta angrily called her. She had a second stroke soon after, and her health deteriorated rapidly.[16] She died on December 29, 1945, at the age of 67. Ed was devastated by her death; in the words of author Harold Schechter, he had "lost his only friend and one true love. And he was absolutely alone in the world."[13]

Back to Errol Morris:

Unfinished project on Ed Gein

Inspired by Hitchcock's Psycho, Morris visited Plainfield, Wisconsin in 1975. While in Wisconsin, he conducted multiple interviews with Ed Gein, the infamous serial killer who resided at Mendota State Hospital in Madison.

A Wilderness of Error

A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald is a book by Errol Morris, published in September 2012. It reexamines the case of Jeffrey MacDonald, the Green Beret physician accused of killing his wife and two daughters in their home on Fort Bragg on February 17, 1970, and convicted of the crime on August 29, 1979. MacDonald has been in federal prison since 1982.
