"Understanding and Assessing Child Sexual Maltreatment" Second Edition - Kathleen Coulbron Faller has excellent information on child abuse, including ritual abuse and sexual abuse in day care. "The vigor of the attack against ritual abuse, like the vigor of the attack against sexual abuse in general, reinforces the belief of some professionals, myself included, that there is substance to ritual abuse." (p. 31) "...some case descriptions are provided by individuals who appear very credible (Mayer, 1991; Ryder, 1992; Stone & Stone, 1992; Wong & McKeen, 1990), and cases continue to be identified." (p. 32) "Multiple-abuser centers are ones where there seems to be a plan by the offenders to sexually abuse children. Possible motivations include sexual attraction to children, profit, a desire to harm children, or an ideology that supports ritual abuse. It is these cases that raise questions about offenders opening centers in order to sexually abuse children. Most cases where allegations of picture taking and child prostitution are alleged are multiple perpetrator/multiple victim (Faller, 1988d; Kelley et al. 1993)."

George Knapp, I-Team Reporter School That Teaches Psychic Techniques Opens in Boulder City 2/20/03 "For twenty years, the CIA conducted secret studies of a psychic technique known as remote viewing; the Pentagon had its own study and used remote viewers to carry out all sorts of classified intelligence operations. The program is long gone, but remote viewing is still around, but no longer in the shadows. A school that teaches remote viewing has opened in Boulder City. Students claim they use it to see through space, even through time....In the darkest days of the cold war, American intelligence agencies were alarmed to learn that soviets were far ahead of us in psychic research, and that amazing, even deadly capabilities were being studied. Col. John Alexander, Army Intelligence (Ret.) says, "KGB defectors told us they were looking at it as a way of killing people." "It" is a technique known as remote viewing. It was developed for the CIA in a twenty-year secret study. The Pentagon had its own secret program based at Ft. Meade Maryland. Las Vegas' John Alexander was involved with the research: "Is it real? The answer is yes. Does it work 100% of the time, the answer is no." In total secrecy, government psychics used remote viewing to keep tabs on the Russians and their war machine, to track the likes of Moammar Khadafi, the Iranian hostages, Saddam Hussein's hidden scud missiles. There were spectacular successes but also failures, and when the story began leaking out about the program, the CIA washed its hands and officially got out of the psychic business. Remote Viewer Dr. Angela Thompson says when asked if the program is still going on, "I think so, I've heard of groups within the government and certain agencies from fairly credible witnesses that there are still programs going on. In Nevada? Definitely. Yes." http://www.klas-tv.com/global/story.asp?s=1142887&ClientType=Printable

U.S. Expands Clandestine Surveillance Operations
The number of secret searches approved by Ashcroft since the 9/11 attacks is triple those authorized in the previous 20 years. By Richard B. Schmitt, Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department has stepped up use of a secretive process that enables the attorney general to personally authorize electronic surveillance and physical searches of suspected terrorists, spies and other national-security threats without immediate court oversight. Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday he has authorized more than 170 such emergency searches since the Sept. 11 attacks -- more than triple the 47 emergency searches that have been authorized by other attorneys general in the last 20 years.

Bush would lose election: poll By OLIVER MOORE
— War worries and concern about the economy have left U.S. President George W. Bush vulnerable, with new polling data showing that he would lose an election if it were held today. The survey — done by the Polling Institute at Connecticut's Quinnipiac University — found that 48 per cent of U.S. voters would side with an unspecified "Democratic party candidate" if they had to vote right now. Only 44 per cent would vote for Mr. Bush. ...Mr. Bush's personal approval rating remains slimly positive, with 53 per cent of respondents happy with the way he is acting as President. But only 44 per cent are satisfied with the state of the nation, compared with 54 per cent who are unhappy and 1 per cent who aren't sure what to think....The poll also shows that Mr. Bush has succeeded in positioning Iraq as the key threat to U.S. security. In an open-ended question, almost one-third of respondents listed relations with Baghdad as the most important problem facing the United States, with 27 per cent choosing the economy and unemployment and only 14 per cent listing terrorism and security. But Mr. Bush faces an uphill battle in convincing the U.S. public of the wisdom of going to war without United Nations backing. The Quinnipiac poll shows that while 57 per cent support military action to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, 56 per cent also believe that war should wait for UN approval.
