-Caveat Lector- From: curio To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Response to Aquino Lawsuit Date: Thu, 08 May 1997 09:34:15 PDT Having worked in many facets of the child abuse field for 10 years I've seen all manner of atrocities committed against children and witnessed all types of adult games played to avoid culpability. Having worked inside government systems I've seen the lack of resources allotted to adequately investigate, let alone alleviate child abuse at it's most simplistic level - physical, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect. Child abuse is rampant. It's one of the secrets in our society that nobody wants to hear about. After being involved in well over 600 unique situations I've become familiar with many aspects of child abuse cases. I've worked equally at exonerating those parents who were erroneously caught in the System as well as seeking justice for those children who needed protection. Ten years ago I was introduced to a newly recognized form of child abuse. The labels keep changing in the professional Community but for my purposes I'll call it ritual abuse. Having a 17 year personal background in the "occult" has educated me about types of individuals who walk this path - from the intentionally malevolent to the benevolent - and everything in-between. As I've heard childrens statements about their abuse in occult settings and seen the evidence, this form of maltreatment is probably the most heinous abuse imaginable. Unfortunately, not everyone in the System is trained to recognize this form of maltreatment. It became politically popular for professionals to address this type of crime, but presently, due to a backlash, it has become unpopular in some circles to discuss it. I've read countless books and research material on this subject -pro and con - as well as personally gathering documentation on several alleged ritual abuse cases. I've reviewed the reasons for prosecutorial failure and carefully reviewed claims of what appeared to be false accusation. Both of these scenarios can be tools for learning. After networking with many professionals around the country who worked in the trenches, I began to see a pattern. The pattern was one of systematic harassment and threats. Additionally the newspapers printed their own one-sided version of events despite efforts to correct this. Several people who became friends told me of threats they'd received and related their frustration and *serious* concern. Clearly more people need to speak out on this topic. Everyone I spoke with who handles these cases took exception to a report by FBI Ken Lanning which downplayed these crimes. In fact various cults have this report on their web-pages The Presidio Army Base case became known to me after meeting several parents and children who related their experiences. These people gave me newspaper articles, and internal documents supporting their claims that their children had been molested in the late 80's but there appeared to be no successful resolution for them other than a large out of court settlement with the Army. Some of these people are devastated to this day. (Journal of Orthopsychiatry article) This case evidenced a catch-22 rapidly growing familiar to me. Statements made about occult rituals not being used by the prosecution due to unfamiliarity and concern about bringing this matter into the courtroom. I spoke to an internal investigator who related that he believed at least 20 pre-schoolers had been molested. Even Ken Lanning makes public statements that many children were molested on the Presidio Army Base. I also began investigating the developing pattern of some of these cases particularly in Northern California. Mass child molest, terrorized kids, all making delayed statements that were difficult to explain. I read that Michael Aquino - Leader of a Satanic cult had been processed out of the Army in 1990 after a multi-jurisdictional investigation. I viewed internal CID tapes of interviews with children in various parts of Northern California and heard the full horror of what they related. These tapes will not be released to the public, but some parents were allowed copies which were then given to interested parties. Then I discovered the internet and found Michael Aquino posting on alt.satanism. Michael Aquino was a Lt. Colonel in the Army who specialized in psychological operations. I accessed some court documents about his case and sent away for others which filtered in this past year. I questioned him about these documents and he willingly participated in a "debate" with me. For my purposes I simply referred to him and his new pseudonym as the "Aquino spokesperson." Mr. Aquino explained that no children were molested at the Presidio; the reason children were stating that was due to parents wanting to sue the army for large sums of money; therapists were the "true source of child abuse" as there was no such event as ritual molestation of children anywhere. It was all a "witch hunt" and he was never processed out of the Army but had been re-assigned elsewhere along with a Top Secret clearance although his assignment was "part-time" due to "illegal" actions of the CID. He tried to court-martial many involved in the case. Since Aquino's version flew in the face of court documents, (See lawsuits) stating he sued the Army with an obvious damage claim for being discharged, I repeatedly challenged him to prove his assertions. I had a real interest in discovering what the Army did on paper and what actions they might have taken "behind the scenes" and therefore kept an open mind. He was kind enough to keep responding, never with documentation - but dismissing me as a "fundamentalist pedophile pervert" and later as the net "kook." I had accessed over 50 cases of ritual crime through legal research and so began posting court documents, and laws regarding ritual abuse/crime interspersed in-between our ongoing debates. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" wrote he'd be challenging me on other cases, not just his own, as there was "no such event as the ritual abuse of children." I discovered that the same people followed me from newsgroup to newsgroup most of whom were eventually unmasked as his associates - all debunking the material - and all engaging in the same mind games. When internal court documents to Mr. Aquino's lawsuit arrived, more details of the case was unveiled as well as specific documents submitted by Aquino's lawyer, stating he had been discharged from active reserve duty as part of his damage claim. (Aquino's damage claim) When faced with this documentation, Aquino stated they didn't mean what they said. When I insisted the documents left no room for doubt, he began stating that I was a Stalker and a Libeler. As I quoted from documents and told others where to access them and his on-going prevarications continued, I answered in kind in sometimes heated debate. There were a group of people always playing the same game with my posts; due to that I decided to send the internal documents all over the internet. At this point what Michael Aquino did or did not do in the past was not the issue as I've always stated that he was never criminally charged or convicted but "titled" under an investigatory report; the issue was why did Michael Aquino appear to be lying about court documents in the present and why were my posts *such a target.* He decided to pin various peoples identity on me and pronounced it as fact to the newsgroups several times. He even said he broached the security of the Finnish anon-remailer and they told him who I was and named an individual; he was "wrong." Several people came to my attention in sci.psychology.psychotherapy who were also stating there was no such event as ritual abuse of children. One such person was John M. Price, Ph.D. Due to some remarkable coincidences, I asked Michael Aquino whether he knew John Price. He said no. As one can see through the various e-mails, which I've recently read for the first time, John Price is a friend of Michael Aquino's and he appears quite eager to discover my identity. Mr. Price had a picture of the hypnotherapist whom Aquino was attempting to pass off as me in his FTP site under the name of "Curio." This was after Ms. Rothman asked people to leave her alone. The situation escalated as I confronted several Ph.D's on this newsgroup as well as asking them why the same people stating ritual abuse "did not exist" also claimed that sex with children was "not always harmful." You will find this debate under the thread heading "John M. Price-Satanic Troll? UC Davis Psychologist?" Mr. Price also wrote "Satanic troll" under his organizational heading. In summation, I believe this lawsuit is Michael Aquino's way of controlling information about him and to silence somebody who is posting valid documention - appellate documents - regarding ritual crime. Many people back down from this man because of his on-ongoing lawsuit threats. This approach of his is nothing new. I will not disclose my identity to this person because I believe he is dangerous and his cult members have harassed me on the internet repeatedly. When I first posted material to the Internet I explained I would be as forthcoming as possible about all issues except those pertaining to identity and location for reasons of security. I have a number of ISP's that I can forge posts from as well as forge to. This is done not to misuse the Internet but to protect my identity while posting documented information about ritual crime activity. Due to the problems with validating the source of forged posts, I did not think there could be any legal case against any particular ISP. This is still the United States and I believe it is wrong to try and censor speech just because you don't like the message. There has been no "libel." At this point it is clear to me that since this Satanic cult leader can't explain his way around court documents he will use every means at his disposal to silence me.
