Quote from : A Criminologist's Quest for Peace - Hal Pepinsky - Chapter 5 Transcending Literatyranny - "...But what affected me and in turn other seminar members most profoundly was to begin to meet people who told us about personal experience with ritual violence. My first personal introduction was secondhand--by Rick Doninger, who with his wife Pam had helped a number of children and adults who as children had been victimized in group rituals, in this case satanic rituals, often in families of high standing, or in the first instance out of a number of schools. He brings some thirty water color, ink and pencil drawings to class, taped to several large poster boards. He and Pam, like other seminar guests, had gone to Huntsville, Alabama, for training in non-leading interviewing techniques at the National Child Advocacy Center. Typically, he tells me, the pictures were drawn while he chatted with children at his kitchen table. He would simply invite children to use the materials and draw anything they wanted about what had happened to them while he talked with them. He tells me that it was almost as though the children were doodling as they talked about other stuff. Then they described what they had drawn to him. Copies of the pictures and summaries of the children's descriptions of them appear in Carrico et al. (1994: 64-108). In similarity of detail many corroborate one another from across the country. A pair of siblings independently draw consistent pictures of a ritual, remarkably parallel in detail albeit different in artistic technique. I have heard descriptions like Rick and Pam's of what children say, and seen video excerpts of children describing rituals they had been raped and tortured in, but my the firsthand experience seminar members and I share is of adult survivors. The second semester I taught the seminar Rick brought a survivor who by first name only was appearing in public for the first time. Shortly thereafter, Debbie and Mary put me in touch with Jeanette Westbrook..., a social worker in Louisville, who has visited the seminar every semester since, and who like Rick also now visits a large class I teach on "alternative social control systems." Jeanette had enough police and legal support that the Kentucky Attorney General charged her father with raping her several times. As they sought to have him extradited from his new home in Ohio, he returned from a trip where he met Eastern European heads of state and members of parliament on nuclear safety planning, and in his early sixties died suddenly in bed at home and was buried without an autopsy. A friend observed awhile back that I so brazenly believe that Jeanette's memories of ritual violence are true, and representative of widespread violence including serial murder and cannibalism, because I have met survivors like Jeanette (many by now) and heard them speak for themselves. Their voices are just beginning to be aired in media in ways that may become literature. http://www.critcrim.org/critpapers/pepinsky-book5.htm E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D. - Archaeological Investigations of the McMartin Preschool site, Manhattan Beach, California - Executive Summary ....The project unearthed not one but two tunnel complexes as well as previously unrecognized structural features which defied logical explanation. Both tunnel complexes conformed to locations and functional descriptions established by children's reports. One had been described as providing undetected access to an adjacent building on the east. The other provided outside access under the west wall of the building and contained within it an enlarged, cavernous artifact corresponding to children's descriptions of a "secret room"....The McMartin preschool in Manhattan Beach, California was the first of what has since been described as a national epidemic of multi-victim, multi-perpetrator accusations of sexual and sadistic abuse which erupted in the mid 1980's.....The results of the survey by Ground penetrating Radar proved consistent with discoveries of the subsequent excavations, all of which confirmed not only the basic descriptions of children but also specific details of location, interior features and putative function. http://www.tesserae.org/tess/prose/tunnels2.html More information on McMartin is available at http://members.aol.com/smartnews/Sample-Issue-37.htm or SMART Issue #37 http://www.commondreams.org/headlines02/0120-03.htm Published on Sunday, January 20, 2002 in The Sunday Herald (Scotland) How Arundhati Roy Took Back the Power in India She Won the Booker Prize for The God Of Small Things, Then She Helped Author Enron's Downfall by James Hamilton IT was the biggest piece of inward investment India had ever seen, a $2.9 billion bonanza, but for the Texas-based Enron it was also one of the reasons why the multinational corporation has just become one of the biggest ever corporate losses in the history of capitalism..... The story of Enron's involvement in India is one of double-dealing, corruption, violence and violation of human rights. It began in 1993 when the company signed a deal to provide much-needed electricity in a state that was desperate for power to fuel its new high-tech industries and to propel the country on its new free-market economy. Even though the World Bank said that the project was too expensive and that other forms of power would be cheaper, Enron bulldoze d ahead. There were no competitive tenders, politicians were bought off with bribes estimated to run to $20 million and local police and thugs were hired to terrorize the opposition into silence. By 1997 Enron had been listed by the New York-based Human Rights Watch organization as guilty of being 'complicit in human rights violations' in the state of Maharashtra.... On Friday, the White House defended US encouragement for the Enron project in India, and vice-president Dick Cheney's support for Enron's attempts to collect a $64m debt from the country.
