-Caveat Lector- Body found amid fears of child abuse ring on Jersey - Police have more than 40 suspects as 140 claim they were victims By Sadie Gray 2/24/08 Police were searching the grounds of a former children's home in Jersey yesterday after a child's remains were found in the building. Detectives said they expected to discover more bodies at the former Haut de la Garenne home in St Martin. The three-month investigation into child abuse at several government institutions on the island took a harrowing turn with the discovery yesterday morning of the partial remains, believed to date from the 1980s. Police were unable to say how long the body had been there, how old the child was or whether the skeleton was male or female. The inquiry into allegations of abuse over a 40-year period on the Channel Island officially began in November after a year in which police covertly gathered statements. More than 100 people have contacted a helpline on the island with allegations of abuse since the inquiries began. So far, officers have spoken to 140 alleged victims and have 40 suspectsIn January, police charged Jersey resident Gordon Claude Wateridge, 76, in with the abuse of three girls aged under 16 between 1969 and 1979. He was also charged with the unlawful possession of a firearm. Police stressed they were not linking him with yesterday's discovery "at this moment in time". They added that further arrests are expected. The allegations span a period from the 1960s to the early 2000s. Police following up a series of convictions for sexual offences involving officers of Jersey Sea Cadets began noticing links between the victims in those cases and other institutions on the island, including Haut de la Garenne. Mr Harper has said previously that the allegations range from "pretty severe physical and mental abuse, right through to the most serious sexual crimes that you can imagine." In the course of the inquiry, police would examine whether there were "criminal implications" behind the fact that the allegations had never been brought before the courts, he said. Officers dealing with callers to Jersey police's historic abuse helpline have said that many were furious that their complaints had not been taken seriously at the time. ...Haut de la Garenne opened in 1867 as the Industrial School, for "young people of the lower classes of society and neglected children". It was used during the Nazi occupation as a signalling station, reverting to a children's home after the war. It closed as a children's home in 1987, when it catered for some 60 young people from Jersey with special needs. _http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/body-found-amid-fears-of-child-abuse-ring-on- jersey-786542.html_ (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/body-found-amid-fears-of-child-abuse-ring-on-jersey-786542.html) Body found amid fears of child abuse ring on Jersey - Police have more than 40 suspects as 140 claim they were victims By Sadie Gray 2/24/08 Police were searching the grounds of a former children's home in Jersey yesterday after a child's remains were found in the building.

-Caveat Lector- describes abuse - 'Abuse was anything from rape to torture. It happened every night' Victims call for house to be demolished as they reveal full scale of horror at Haut de la Garenne - By Jonathan Brown and Jerome Taylor in Jersey 2/27/2008 Former residents at a Jersey care home where police are searching for the remains of up to six children described yesterday how they were repeatedly drugged, raped and abused while supposedly under the protection of the institution's staff. Testimonies, including one from a leading local trade unionist, painted a horrifying picture of life inside Haut de la Garenne, where more than 1,000 children were housed in the decades before it was closed downSome 150 people have contacted police since the discovery of human bones at the care home on Saturday. It also emerged that the notorious paedophile Edward Paisnell, known as the Beast of Jersey, visited Haut de la Garenne during the 1960s. The political fallout on the island from the affair continued yesterday. The Chief Minister, Frank Walker, issued a statement conceding that "a cloud hangs over Jersey". However, he sought to calm fears of an island-wide cover up by insisting there was "no hiding place in Jersey for anyone who abused children or, who in any way may have colluded with that abuse and no stone will be left unturned to bring them to justice". But the former health minister who was sacked after blowing the whistle on the children's care home scandal claimed senior figures on the island had concealed evidence of an earlier sex abuse scandal at a school. Senator Stuart Syvret handed out copies of a confidential report from 2000 on the activities of Jervis Dykes, a teacher at the local Victoria College, who was jailed for abusing six pupils between 1979 and 1996. Mr Syvret also accused the island's newspaper, the Jersey Evening Post, of failing to publish the critical findings, which he had leaked to journalists. The newspaper said the document contained no new information and it had decided not to publish "in deference to the feelings of victims and their families". _http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/abuse-was-anything-from-rape-to-torture-it-happened-every-night-787918.html_ (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/abuse-was-anything-from-rape-to-torture-it-happ ened-every-night-787918.html) Jersey 'cover-up faces exposure' - An ex-minister on Jersey says he will expose a "cover-up culture" as searches continue at a former children's home on the island where remains were found. Police investigators at the Haut de la Garenne home in St Martin are focusing their attention on a bricked-up cellar. Former health minister Stuart Syvret told BBC News he will publish evidence to show the authorities failed to act on child abuse claims at another site. A statement from Jersey's chief minister is also expected. The BBC's Sanchia Berg said Mr Syvret's allegations will relate to a school and a secure unit on the island. It is understood the police inquiry into allegations of historic abuse in Jersey pre-date these claims. The senator's allegations that island authorities ignored evidence of abuse of children in its care have been vehemently denied by Jersey's Chief Minister, Senator Frank Walker, who is due to address the island's Assembly later. He has described Mr Syvet's allegations as "deplorable" and said the ex-minister, who was dismissed from his post last year over the way he is alleged to have treated staff and colleagues in his ministry, was seeking to "politicise" the situation. _http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/jersey/7264169.stm_ (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/jersey/7264169.stm) describes abuse Police excavate bricked-up 'Colditz' cellar at ex-children's home in Jersey amid fears it hides a mass grave 2/27/08 The bricked-up cellar of the Haut de la Garenne children's home was being excavated last night amid fears it could be a mass grave.

-Caveat Lector- Six more bodies feared buried in Jersey home 2/25/08 Six more bodies may be buried at a former children's home in Jersey where a youngster's remains were found by detectives investigating allegations of widespread child abuse on the island, police said yesterday. The remains were found under a thick concrete floor inside the Victorian mansion, beside scraps of fabric, a button and what appeared to be a hair clip. It is believed the child's skull was among the remains found. Yesterday Lenny Harper, the senior investigating officer, said a sniffer dog that found the first remains had identified six other potential burial sites in and around the home. Radar equipment had confirmed areas of interest and Harper said he could not rule out the possibility that "half a dozen" bodies might be foundSince then the police have taken statements from around 140 alleged victims who claim to have been abused while at Haut de la Garenne, as well as 40 suspects. Most of these suspects were "respected figures of the establishment" who worked at the home in "positions of responsibility", Harper said. When the NSPCC joined the investigation, the children's charity received four times more calls in the first week than it had ever had when working on other British operations of this type. Calls came from as far away as Thailand, Germany and Australia, as well as the UK, Guernsey and Jersey itself. Two Jersey police officers are currently in Australia interviewing alleged victims. The allegations date back to the 1940s and up to 1986, when the home was closed, but the bulk of complainants claim they were abused in the 1960s, said Harper. "Allegations range from physical assaults right through to rape. It is difficult to envisage more horrific crimes than some of those that are alleged to have been carried out here," he said. So far one man has been charged with three indecent assaults on girls under the age of 16, allegedly committed while he worked at Haut de la Garenne, which featured as a police station in the television detective series Bergerac. However the police yesterday stressed that the man was not suspected of any other crimes, and was not linked to the remains discovered at the weekend. Jersey senator Stuart Syvret, 42, told the Guardian he had spoken to two men, now in their 50s and 60s, who claim to have been savagely physically abused at the home. "They said it was standard practice for staff to punch children in their heads if they walked with their shoulders slumped, and children were routinely beaten with birch canes," he said. Syvret, a former health and social services minister on Jersey, claims there was a "culture of cover-up and concealment" within the island's government, the States of Jersey. He said: "There has been a long-running systematic failure of child protection on the island." He said since the police investigation began he had heard of abuse dating back to the end of the second world war and right up to the 1990s at Haut de la Garenne and other homes. _http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/feb/25/jersey.child.bodies_ (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/feb/25/jersey.child.bodies) **Ideas to please picky eaters.

[CTRL] child abuse costs, 'Atomic human guinea pigs'
-Caveat Lector- Women who suffered child abuse spend more on health care - Middle-aged women who suffered physical or sexual abuse as children spend up to one-third more than average in health-care costs, according to a long-term study of more than 3,000 women. Even decades after the abuse ended, these women used health services at significantly higher rates than did non-abused women, the research found. “What’s remarkable is that women with an average age in their late 40s still suffer consequences from abuse that occurred decades ago,” said Amy Bonomi, associate professor of human development and family science at Ohio State University, who led the study at Group Health in Seattle. “No other study has found that before.” Women who had no history of abuse spent an average of $2,413 a year (in 2004 dollars) on health care costs. Women who were sexually abused only paid an average of $382 a year more, those who were physically abused spent $502 more, and women who suffered both types of abuse spent $790 a year in additional health care costs. The study appears online in advance of the March issue of the Journal of General Internal MedicineThe study took into account factors such as age and education that also can affect health care use. “We are able to say pretty confidently that it was the abuse itself that is driving higher health care use and costs in these women,” she said. After accounting for women’s age and education, women who were sexually abused as children faced health care costs 16 percent higher than non-abused women, while physically abused women’s costs were 22 percent higher. For women who suffered both types of abuse, costs rose 36 percent above average. The research examined data from 3,333 women who belonged to Group Health, a health care system in the Pacific Northwest. While other studies had linked childhood abuse to higher adult health care costs, this research provides the most comprehensive and accurate evidence to date, Bonomi said. _http://www.physorg.com/printnews.php?newsid=122662483_ (http://www.physorg.com/printnews.php?newsid=122662483) 'Atomic human guinea pigs' file suit - Gov't deserted soldiers after their exposure to nuclear tests: lawyer Janet French, The StarPhoenix 2/20/08 Former soldiers the Canadian military once sent within a couple kilometres of nuclear explosions have launched a class action lawsuit against the Government of Canada.

[CTRL] Is Ritual Child Abuse Just a Hoax?
-Caveat Lector- has graphic descriptions of crimes Is Ritual Child Abuse Just a Hoax? By Victoria Hardy 2/15/08 In 1984, a woman accused employees of the McMartin Preschool of molesting her young son when he came home bleeding from his rectum, a doctor verified that the child had been sodomized and thus became the longest criminal trial in American historyDuring the investigation, 460 children reported being sexually abused and 80% showed physical symptoms including vaginal and rectal scarring, anal bleeding and sexually transmitted chlamydia infections. The childreńs stories were remarkably similar concerning the nature, location and perpetrators of the abuse. Although the media held our attention, the public was never informed that teenagers and twenty-year-olds, former students of McMartińs Preschool, had also come forward confirming the claims of the children, but were not allowed to testify due to the statute of limitations"Neither side is going to like what I have to say," Bynum told a reporter before he died. Bynum wanted to know how his citation books, the official police records kept from his time as a detective, had turned up in Ray Buckleýs desk when he was arrested for molestation. And he could corroborate a key point in the childreńs testimonies. The children had stated their attackers killed turtles and other small animals to scare them into silence and Bynum, while retained by the defense, found numerous turtle shells and other small animal bones buried in the yard of the preschool. According to the editor of the Los Angeles Times, Noel Greenwood, the widespread media coverage was "a mean-spirited campaign" organized to discredit the kids and their therapists. Besides the ridicule the media heaped on Judy Johnson before her death, they also belittled the childreńs claims... _http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/52590_ (http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/52590) **Ideas to please picky eaters.

The poll, presented at a National Council for the Child conference in Be'er Sheva on Monday, encompassed 500 polled parents. The poll shows that 5 percent o f the parents reported that their children had been sexually harassed, and a quarter of the parents never told their children to avoid contact with strangers. _http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/953249.html_ (http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/953249.html) Evidence against the iatrogenesis of multiple personality disorder.

[CTRL] false memory, Michelle Remembers, Parental Alienation "Syndrome"
-Caveat Lector- Planting False Childhood Memories in Children: The Role of Event Plausibility - Kathy Pezdek, Danelle Hodge Child Development, Vol. 70, No. 4 (Jul. - Aug., 1999), pp. 887-895 Abstract - This experiment tested and supported the hypothesis that events will be suggestively planted in children's memory to the degree that the suggested event is plausible and script-relevant knowledge exists in memory. Nineteen 5- to 7-year-old children and 20 9- to 12-year-old children were read descriptions of two true events and two false events, reported to have occurred when they were 4 years old. One false event described the child lost in a mall while shopping (the plausible false event); the other false event described the child receiving a rectal enema (the implausible false event). The majority of the 39 children (54%) did not remember either false event. However, whereas 14 children recalled the plausible but not the implausible false event, only one child recalled the implausible but not the plausible false event; this difference was statistically significant. Three additional children (all in the younger age group) recalled both false events. Although this pattern of results was consistent for both age groups, the differences were significant for the younger children only. A framework is outlined specifying the cognitive processes underlying suggestively planting false events in memory. _http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0009-3920%28199907%2F08%2970%3A4%3C887%3APFCMIC%3E2.0.CO%3B2-G&size=LARGE&origin=JSTOR-enlargePage_ (http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0009-3920(199907/08)70:4<887:PFCMIC>2.0.CO;2-G&size =LARGE&origin=JSTOR-enlargePage) “Michelle Remembers” by Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder, MD “A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER” pages xi - xiii” “Dr. Pazder’s credentials are impressive. He obtained his M.D. from the University of Alberta in 1961; his diploma in tropical medicine from the University Liverpool in 1962; and in 1968, his specialist certificate in psychiatry and his diploma in psychological medicine from McGill University. In 1971, he was made a fellow of Canada’s Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is a member of three Canadian professional associations and of the American Psychiatric Association as well. He practiced medicine in West Africa and has participated in medical task forces and health organizations. He has been chairman of the Mental Health Committee of the Health Planning Council for British Columbia. A member of the staff of two hospitals in Victoria, British Columbia–the Royal Jubilee and the Victoria General –he is in private practice with a group of five psychiatrists. His professional papers include a study of the long-term effects of stress upon concentration-camp victims. Two experienced interviewers journeyed to Victoria and talked to Dr. Pazder’s colleagues, to the priests and the bishop who became involved in the case, to doctors who treated Michelle Smith when she was a child, to relatives and friends. From local newspaper, clergy, and police sources they learned that reports of Satanism in Victoria are not infrequent and that Satanism has apparently existed there for many years. Satanism in Western Canada flourished in many areas with activities far more ominous than some of the innocuous groups now found in parts of the United States who claim some connection with Satanism. The source material was scrutinized. The many thousands of pages of transcript of the tape recordings that Dr. Pazder and Michelle Smith made of their psychiatric sessions were read and digested; they became the basis of this book. The tapes themselves were listened to in good measure, and the videotapes made of some of his sessions were viewed. Both the audio and video are powerfully convincing.

PAS Presupposes a High Rate of False Accusations in Custody Cases The theory of PAS is based in part on the notion that, within custody disputes, there is a high incidence of false abuse allegations. Dr. Gardner theorized that allegations arising within the context of a custody dispute have a “high likelihood of being false,”5 and went so far as to state that he believed “the vast majority of allegations in this category [divorce cases with custody disputes] are false.” To the contrary, the available research suggests that false allegation rates are not significantly high.

The problem exists even in the state's small towns, with tiny Pound in far southwest Virginia being home to 53 unique hard drives containing child porn. The ICAC team has identified one computer in Sandston near Richmond that has made at least 187 transactions, sharing pictures and videos of infants and young children being brutally raped and molested.A 2005 Department of Justice study suggested that 55 percent of those convicted of possessing child pornography admitted to illegal contact with children.

In his new book Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity, he writes with alarm about how the "cruelty line" in mass-market pornography is driving up. At the same time, the "normalization" line – "the measure of the acceptance of pornography in the mainstream of contemporary culture" – is also up, sharply. "If pornography is increasingly cruel and degrading, why is it increasingly commonplace instead of more marginalized?" he writes. "In a society that purports to be civilized, wouldn't we expect most people to reject sexual material that becomes evermore (sic) dismissive of the humanity of women? How do we explain the simultaneous appearance of more, and increasingly more intense, ways to humiliate women sexually and the rising popularity of the films that present those activities?" _http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/296391_ (http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/296391) **Start the year off right.

It's that the abuser is almost always a person known and trusted by the victim and the victim's family, as with the Bonneville County case of Scott Wolfley, now admitting to molesting a young relative. Of all 430 criminal cases filed in Idaho between July 2006 and June 2007 against adult and juvenile defendants, there were just three cases in which the defendant was a stranger to the victim.

During Jos van Diepen's testimony, he briefly mentioned that he remembered hearing his colleague Ken Seguin tell him members of the Cornwall police used to drop probationers off at his home sometime in the 1970s. Peter Manderville, a lawyer for the city police, asked van Diepen if he could recall anything more about this practice - like who the cops were that would drop probationers off at Seguin's home. The probation officer said it was a well-known fact in the Cornwall probation office, and that Seguin would have talked about it before his suicide in 1993. Seguin was never charged with any abuse, but was accused of sexually abusing probationers in his charge.

-Caveat Lector- Attorneys file to free priest charged with nun's murder describes crimes - Attorneys file to free priest charged with nun's murder - Petition hints deceased cleric had role in her killing 1/16/08 By David Yonke - Blade Staff Writer Attorneys for Gerald Robinson have filed a court petition seeking to overturn the Toledo priest's 2006 murder conviction and raising suspicions about another Catholic cleric, now deceased, who worked with Robinson as a chaplain at the hospital where the crime occurred in 1980. The petition, filed in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, quotes Sister Dorothy Mari e Balabuch, a Sylvania Franciscan nun, as saying she worked as a housekeeper for the Rev. Jerome Swiatecki and described the priest as an "immoral man" with "a very bad temper" and a fondness for knives and "hard-core pornography." The court document also quotes a security guard, hired two days after the murder at the former Mercy Hospital, saying that "in my youthful zeal and my desire to catch the perpetrator, I accused Father Swiatecki" of murdering Sister Margaret Ann Pahl.Father Swiatecki, a Toledo native whose hobby was wood carving, was ordained a priest in 1941 and died in 1996 at age 83Retired Deputy Chief Ray Vetter said he recalls Father Swiatecki as having had "an airtight alibi." Police reports from 1980 said Father Swiatecki was eating breakfast with several nuns in the hospital's dining room at the time of the murder. Robinson, now 69, was found guilty May 11, 2006, and is serving a 15-years-to-life sentence at Hocking Correctional Facility in southern Ohio. Sister Margaret Ann, 71, had been strangled to the verge of death, then stabbed 31 times in the sacristy of the Catholic hospital on Holy Saturday, 1980. _http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080116/NEWS02/8011603 93/-1/NEWS_ (http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080116/NEWS02/801160393/-1/NEWS) **Start the year off right.

[CTRL] Pitcairn - The Island Paradise With a Dark History
-Caveat Lector- The Island Paradise With a Dark History By Martin Croucher Epoch Times UK Staff 1/16/08 But hidden beneath the friendly smiles of the 47 inhabitants is a dark secret. In 2004, six men—a third of the island's adult male population, including Pitcairn mayor Steve Christian, a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian's—were been convicted under English law of 33 sexual offences, some dating back 40 years. The trials revealed that for generations the islanders have had a culture of rape, adultery and child-abuse involving children as young as five. As Pitcairn is one of the last remaining British colonies, detectives from Kent launched an 18-month investigation that would prove to be one of the most complex, and costly, in British legal history. Detectives Rob Vinson and Peter George were recently accorded in the Queen's New Year's honours list. The detectives found every woman, born and bred on Pitcairn had experienced some form of sexual abuse in their lives. Many said that it would be impossible to find a girl over the age of 12 on the island who had not been the victim of sexual abuse. But during the police investigation, eyewitnesses on the island said that locals did not believe what they were doing was wrong and claimed it was a part of their cultureHowever, more than 200 years on and with little contact with the outside world, the islanders had developed a degenerate sexual culture where rape, adultery and child abuse were pervasive. That culture began to unravel in 1996 when Dennis McGookin and Peter George, two detectives from Kent police, visited the island on the allegation that Shawn Christian, one of the children of Pitcairn governor Steve Christian, raped an 11-year-old. The case collapsed after Shawn claimed consensual sex and provided love letters to prove it. The detectives, who were the first British officers ever to set foot on the colony, raised concerns that the legal system there was at best rudimentary, and not fit to deal with serious crime. At the time Pitcairn barely saw itself as under British law, having never seen an attorney or judgeOne her second visit, in 1999, Ms Cox was confronted with allegations that Shawn and brother, Randy Christian, had raped an 11-year-old girl. The message went out to London and the detectives were back, although this time Rob Vinson accompanied Peter George. However the investigation was initially frustrated when the brothers denied the allegations and they were not able to find any leads. Just as they were about to leave they decided to interview a friend of the accused who was living in Auckland, New Zealand. She said she knew nothing about the case but as the detectives turned to leave she mentioned almost in passing that she had been raped when she was 10. She later became the main whistleblower of the case and provided the detectives with an almost endless ream of leads. It was then that the culture of abuse unravelled. DCI Vinson said: "She told us that you wouldn't find any girl on the island of the age of 12 who hadn't gone through that experience. Every Pitcairn girl that we spoke to who was born and bred on the island described some kind of abuse. "As we were questioning witnesses they were giving us more and more leads, and it got bigger and bigger. It just snowballed." Aided by a New Zealand policewoman, the Kent detectives hunted down every woman who had come of age on Pitcairn in the past 40 years and 24 agreed to make statements. The officials uncovered more than 100 allegations of sexual abuse against 31 men, four of who had since died. More than 30 of the complaints could be defined as rape under English law, all against girls who were under-age at the time. A British social worker who visited the island at the time in 2000 described a community deeply shaken by the inquiry. She dug deep into the culture on the island and revealed a way of life where sex permeated everything. She told of a society where childhood sex games and abuse were commonplace, as were teenage pregnancies and abortions. _http://en.epochtimes.com/news/8-1-16/64145.html_ (http://en.epochtimes.com/news/8-1-16/64145.html) **Start the year off right.

Some of them have not been identified.Last November, Europol and police agencies across Europe announced 100 people in 19 countries had been arrested in connection with the child-porn network, which centred around an Italian website that had 2,500 paying customers. _http://www.winnipegsun.com/News/Winnipeg/2008/01/15/4773915.html_ (http://www.winnipegsun.com/News/Winnipeg/2008/01/15/4773915.html) 9 Canadians arrested in international child porn probe Suspects include men from Victoria, Edmonton, the Greater Toronto Area and Montreal 1/15/08 Nine Canadians have been arrested as part of an ongoing international child abuse and internet child pornography investigation, the RCMP said on Tuesday, adding that they are looking at another 50 cases. The probe, code-named "Operation Koala," involved videos of children being abused that were filmed mainly in a Ukraine studio and purchased by customers around the world, including Canada, said RCMP Supt. Earla-Kim McColl, head of the National Child Exploitation Co-ordination Centre, at a news conference in Ottawa TuesdayMore than 92 people have been arrested in Europe as part of the investigationThe investigation began when a video depicting the rape of two young girls was found on July 12, 2006. That eventually led to the arrest of an Italian man, Sergio Marzola, who allegedly produced more than 150 child abuse and pornography videos — including some that could be custom-filmed for a price — that he sold via the internet. _http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2008/01/15/ot-koala-080115.html_ (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2008/01/15/ot-koala-080115.html) Memories of childhood abuse: dissociation, amnesia, and corroboration. Chu JA, Frey LM, Ganzel BL, Matthews JA Am J Psychiatry. 1999 May;156(5):749-55Dissociative Disorders and Trauma Program, McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA 02478, USAParticipants were 90 female patients admitted to a unit specializing in the treatment of trauma-related disorders. Participants completed instruments that measured dissociative symptoms and elicited details concerning childhood physical abuse, sexual abuse, and witnessing abuse. Participants also underwent a structured interview that asked about amnesia for traumatic experiences, the circumstances of recovered memory, the role of suggestion in recovered memories, and independent corroboration of the memories. RESULTS: Participants reporting any type of childhood abuse demonstrated elevated levels of dissociative symptoms that were significantly higher than those in subjects not reporting abuse. Higher dissociative symptoms were correlated with early age at onset of physical and sexual abuse and more frequent sexual abuse. A substantial proportion of participants with all types of abuse reported partial or complete amnesia for abuse memories. For physical and sexual abuse, early age at onset was correlated with greater levels of amnesia. Participants who reported recovering memories of abuse generally recalled these experiences while at home, alone, or with family or friends. Although some participants were in treatment at the time, very few were in therapy sessions during their first memory recovery. Suggestion was generally denied as a factor in memory recovery. A majority of participants were able to find strong corroboration of their recovered memories. CONCLUSIONS: Childhood abuse, particularly chronic abuse beginning at early ages, is related to the development of high levels of dissociative symptoms including amnesia for abuse memories. This study strongly suggests that psychotherapy usually is not associated with memory recovery and that independent corroboration of recovered memories of abuse is often present. _http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10327909?dopt=abstractplus_ (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10327909?dopt=abstractplus) Childhood trauma and perceived parental dysfunction in the etiology of dissociative symptoms in psychiatric inpatients.

-Caveat Lector- Subject of 'Friedman' Film Loses Appeal 1/13/08 Central Islip, N.Y. (AP) - A federal judge has rejected a man's bid for exoneration in a child-molestation case explored in a noted documentary film, saying he filed his appeal too late. Jesse Friedman's appeal stemmed from the Oscar-nominated 2003 film, "Capturing the Friedmans." His lawyers said the documentary revealed evidence that prosecutors had wrongfully withheld — that at least one of the children who accused Friedman did so under hypnosis arranged by police. A teenage Friedman and his father, Arnold, pleaded guilty in 1988 to molesting children during computer classes in the basement of their home in Great Neck, on Long Island. Jesse Friedman, now 38, was paroled in 2001; his father committed suicide in prison in 1995. The son has tried for years to reverse his guilty plea. U.S. District Court Judge Joanna Seybert agreed last year to consider whether his latest appeal was filed within legal time limits, as a first step toward a potential hearing on questions about the hypnosis. She ruled Jan. 4 that the June 2006 appeal was "untimely," saying Friedman's lawyers knew in 1988 that a therapist had worked with the children in eliciting details of the alleged sex abuse Under federal law, the appeal had to be filed within a year after its factual basis "could have been discovered through the exercise of due diligence."A prosecutor said Friedman's appeal was meritless, adding that the therapist has given sworn testimony denying having hypnotized any of Friedman's accusers. "Further review of this issue is simply not warranted," assistant Nassau County district attorney Judith Sternberg said Friday. Pressman said his disappointed client — who is still barred from parks and other places children frequent because he is classified as a violent sexual predator — would appeal further. _http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/01/13/national/a013246S03.DTL_ (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/01/13/national/a013246S03.DTL) links about the movie and case: _http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/ctf/bib.html_ (http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/ctf/bib.html) Capturing the Friedmans: annotated Bibliography from the Leadership Council on Child Abuse and Interpersonal Violence _http://www.theawarenesscenter.org/arnoldandjessefriedman.html_ (http://www.theawarenesscenter.org/arnoldandjessefriedman.html) Case of Arnold Friedman and Jessie Friedman _http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/ctf/geraldo.html_ (http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/ctf/geraldo.html) Geraldo Rivera's interview with Jesse Friedman _http://members.aol.com/FriedmansMovie/_ (http://members.aol.com/FriedmansMovie/) "CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS" Documentary or Whitewash?

Of 2019 men and women (aged 15 years and over) interviewed as part of a MORI Survey of a nationally representative sample of Great Britain, 10% reported that they had been sexually abused before the age of 16 (12% of females; 8% of males). There was no increased risk associated with specific social class categories or area of residence. For all types of sexual abuse, the mean age of victims when first abused was significantly lower for females. Subjective reports of the effects of sexual abuse indicated that the majority (51%) felt harmed by the experience, while only 4% reported that it had improved the quality of their life. We estimate that there are over 4.5 million adults in Great Britain who were sexually abused as children, and that a potential 1,117,000 children will be sexually abused before they are 15 years of age.

[CTRL] alleged Cornwall pedophile ring, Int.Society...Study of Dissociation journal
-Caveat Lector- Ex-cop who alleged Cornwall pedophile ring refuses to testify at inquiry 1/9/08 DUNCAN, B.C. - A former police officer credited with bringing to light explosive allegations of widespread child sexual abuse in eastern Ontario says he's convinced the dark stories that have divided the community are true - but he says he won't testify before a public inquiry because he says the justice system hasn't listened to him for 15 years. Perry Dunlop, a decorated former officer from Cornwall, Ont., has been scheduled to testify but he told The Canadian Press in an exclusive interview he won't be there because he's lost faith in the justice system. He said he's prepared to face the consequences if he's arrested. Dunlop, 46, was convicted of contempt of court last September for his earlier refusal to testify at the inquiry"I have a lot of reasons, but I'm not going to testify," he said. "I'm saying our judicial system is broken and they haven't listened to me for 15 years, and I have no faith. Absolutely no faith, none." The Ontario government inquiry was launched in F ebruary 2006 and is scheduled to conduct hearings until August 2008. The inquiry is looking into how authorities responded to dozens of accusations that men in eastern Ontario had sexually abused children over decadesDunlop has rarely spoken publicly since he first made the allegations in 1993. Prominent members of the Cornwall region's Roman Catholic clergy were among those accused of being part of a pedophile ring that some alleged had existed in Cornwall since the early 1960s. In August 2001, Ontario Provincial Police ended a four-year probe of the alleged ring, dubbed Project Truth, concluding the allegations were baseless. Project Truth ended after 672 people were interviewed and 69 complainants were identified. Some of the allegations stemmed back to the 1960s. As a result of the probe, 15 people were charged with a total of 115 offences ranging from gross indecency to indecent assault on a male and sexual assault on a male. Many individuals were later found guilty of paying underage boys for sex; two were found guilty of possessing child pornography. But when all was said and done, courts and the police could find no evidence the large group of accused men worked together as a group. Dunlop raised the child sexual abuse allegations in 1993 after discovering what he believed was a cover-up of an abuse case involving a young boy and a church official. He said he was told not to pursue the matter, but he couldn't let it go and it eventually cost him his job. Dunlop was once named officer of the year in Cornwall. "Absolutely there was a pedophile ring in Cornwall," he said in the interview this week. _http://www.eastottawa.ca/article-cp33579021-ExCornwall-cop-who-alleged-Cornwall-pedophile-ring-refuses-to-testify-at-inquiry.ht ml_ (http://www.eastottawa.ca/article-cp33579021-ExCornwall-cop-who-alleged-Cornwall-pedophile-ring-refuses-to-testify-at-inquiry.html) The official journal of the International Society for the Study of Dissociation (ISSD), published between 1988 and 1997. _https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/dspace/handle/1794/1129_ (https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/dspace/handle/1794/1129) **Start the year off right.

[CTRL] Rebuttal to Brain stains article, Jesuits agree to settlement
-Caveat Lector- Rebuttal to Brain stains article : November 30, 2007 - Scientific American, Inc. Attn: Editor and Chief 415 Madison Ave. New York, NY 10017 Dear Editor: Regrettably the authors of the article “Brain stains: Traumatic therapies can have longlasting effects on mental health,” Kelly Lambert and Scott O. Lilienfeld chose to provide a onesided, misleading and unscientific account of the dissociative disorders (DD), including dissociative identity disorder (DID). Although we will not comment on the specific case they present, we would like to correct some of their misleading statements and assumptions, and thereby give the reader a more accurate view of this field and of the overt and/or hidden family problems that most often contribute to the development of this kind of psychopathology. Readers may get the impression from the article that there is no research supporting the validity and reliability of DID when, in fact, various studies show that: - DID fulfills the same requirements for diagnostic validity as other psychiatric diagnoses (e.g., 1). - The validity of the DID diagnosis is further supported by cognitive (e.g., 2) and brainimaging research (e.g., 3-6). - Epidemiological studies have found DID in both Western and non-Western cultures, thus the suggestion that it is a Western “ culture bound” syndrome contradicts the evidence (e.g., 7-8). - Dozens of studies using various methodologies, retrospective and prospective, support the reality of people forgetting and later recovering traumatic memories (e.g., e.g. 9-10). - Various studies (e.g. 11) have shown independent corroboration (e. g., through longterm scars, medical archives, etc.) of many DID patient accounts of earlier trauma. - Epidemiological studies show that the dissociative disorders, including DID, are not uncommon in both clinical and community samples from various cultures (e.g., 12-13).- Many individuals with DID were diagnosed by therapists who did not use hypnosis or initially believe in the diagnosis (e.g., 14-15). - The authors repeatedly talk about a “recovered memory therapy,” yet provide no evidence that such a therapy modality exists. We are not aware of any colleagues who have ever been trained in such a therapy, nor can we find evidence for that label in any of the training programs of which we are aware. The authors appear to be engaging in a straw-man argument here. The preceding is by no means an exhaustive list of the myriad ways in which the article ignores relevant literature. Although it may be true that a clinician could shape or exacerbate an individual’s symptoms, iatrogenic effects can occur in the treatment of any kind of condition, medical or psychological. Such a proposition does not invalidate the existence of patients suffering from true DID. The finding that many more patients are diagnosed with DID now than were decades ago may be consistent with an iatrogenic hypothesis, but an alternative -- and perhaps more compelling -- hypothesis would be that valid and reliable measures of DID have only recently been developed, available, and employed in this and other cultures. The fact that one of the authors of this article is an Associate Editor of Scientific American Mind makes these scholarship-related infractions especially problematic. The readership deserves much better than partisan, biased tracts. - from the President and Executive Council, International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation _http://www.isst-d.org/education/sciamerican-ltr.pdf_ (http://www.isst-d.org/education/sciamerican-ltr.pdf) Jesuits agree to settlement in abuse case By Janet I. Tu Seattle Times religion reporter 1/4/08 The Jesuit order in the Northwest has agreed to pay $4.8 million to 16 Native Americans who were sexually and physically abused years ago when they were students at a boarding school near Omak. The Roman Catholic order - formally named the Society of Jesus - and attorneys for the 15 women and one man announced the settlement Thursday. It comes two months after the Jesuits agreed to a record $50 million settlement stemming from abuses in Alaska. The victims in Thursday's settlement had all boarded at the St. Mary's Mission and School on the Colville Indian Reservation. They say they were abused in the late 1960s and early 1970s by a Jesuit priest and a Jesuit brotherIn November, the province agreed to pay $50 million to 110 Alaska Natives - believed to be the largest settlement by a religious order in the Catholic Church abuse cases.

-Caveat Lector- Opinion - Take action against childhood sexual abuse - DL-Online - 1/2/08 Recent news stories about sexual abuse of children in Alexandria and elsewhere should do more than make us disgusted and angry. It should make us act. Consider something that happened in Duluth about a year ago: A 70-year-old man was arrested for sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl who was being cared for at a child care business run by the man and his wife. When an investigator asked the man, “Why a child?” The man replied, “Because it’s easy. Sadly, statistics indicate just how “easy” it is: More than 39,000 sexual assaults are estimated to be committed each year in Minnesota — the majority against children.

-Caveat Lector- EDITORIAL - Archiving Dissociation as a Precaution Against Dissociating Dissociation Judith Herman (1992) famously observed, “The knowledge of horrible events periodically intrudes into public awareness but is rarely retained for long. Denial, repression, and dissociation operate on a social as well as an individual level” (p. 2)Herman (1992) goes on to note: “Like traumatized people, we have been cut off from the knowledge of our past. Like traumatized people, we need to understand the past in order to reclaim the present and the future. Therefore, an understanding of psychological trauma begins with rediscovering history” (p. 2).

The area of memory, particularly memory for abuse, has recently seen new, highly publicized claims. These include the proposal of a new diagnostic category, the false memory syndrome; claims about the ease with which extensive autobiographical memories can be implanted; and estimates of the extent therapists use risky practices likely to cause false memory syndrome.

[CTRL] Hosanna Church ritual abuse case
-Caveat Lector- describes graphic crimes of abuse - Agents graphically describe abuse By Don Ellzey 11/30/07 In an interview with Bernard at the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office Substation on June 10, 2005, Edwards said he was told by Bernard that during the diaper changes he began touching his infant daughter. The touching became oral sex and eventually penetration. Edwards said Bernard claimed to have been molested as a child, which led him to molest children. Federal prosecutor Lisa Marie Freitas, now with the Child Exploitation Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, was a special agent assigned to the FBI's New Orleans office in 2005. Freitas testified that she, too, interviewed Bernard, who told her that he had done with his daughter everything a human could do to the body of another human. Much of the abuse occurred while his wife, Nicole Bernard, was working. She said Bernard told her that he was the first to penetrate his daughter and Louis Lamonica was the second. She said Bernard described the rituals at the church, although the rituals were not the point of the FBI investigation. Freitas said he volunteered the information. According to Bernard, the rituals took place in what was called “the room,” which was the church's youth room. He described how six adults would line up shoulder to shoulder and perform sex acts on his daughter or other children, who were passed down the line. The rule was that there would be no penetration or injury. The rituals had a Satanic theme, including a Pentagram, the use of animals and animal parts such as chicken feet and the use of animal blood. Freitas said that according to Bernard, Patricia Pierson and Robin Lamonica, two defendants in the case, put animal blood on his daughter during one of the rites. She said Bernard claimed Pierson and Lamonica also sexually abused his daughter. He said animal blood was also put on other children, Freitas said. _http://www.hammondstar.com/articles/2007/12/03/top_stories/9453.txt_ (http://www.hammondstar.com/articles/2007/12/03/top_stories/9453.txt) **See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop000304) www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Consider This, Skeptics of Recovered Memory - Ross E.

This claim has been made repeatedly by the Advisory Board members of a prominent advocacy group for parents accused of sexual abuse, the so-called False Memory Syndrome Foundation. The research project described in this article identifies and documents the growing number of cases that have been ignored or distorted by such skeptics. To date, this project has documented 35 cases in which recovered memories of traumatic childhood events were corroborated by clear and convincing evidence. This article concludes with some observations about the politics of the false memory movement, particularly the tendency to conceal or omit evidence of corroboration.

[CTRL] child pornography, wenatchee case
-Caveat Lector- Crackdown on Child Pornography - Federal Action, Focused on Internet, Sets Off a Debate By Jerry Markon - Washington Post Staff Writer 12/15/07 Page A01 But an increase of Internet-fueled child pornography has triggered a new federal crackdown. Cybercrime, the majority of which involves child pornography, is now the FBI's third-highest priority, behind counterterrorism and counterintelligence. In the past 11 months, federal prosecutors in Virginia and Maryland have helped convict or send to prison on child pornography charges the former head of the Virginia American Civil Liberties Union, an Ivy League professor, a sheriff's deputy, a Transportation Security Administration employee, an Army sergeant, a former Navy cryptologist, a contractor working at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, a National Institutes of Health researcher and a U.S. Capitol Police officer. "The problem is as bad as it appears," said Arnold E. Bell, unit chief of the FBI's Calverton-based Innocent Images National Initiative. "There are not enough badges out there to cover all the people to be had in terms of offenders."Many defendants obsessively collect huge numbers of images -- the FBI recently seized a computer with 1.5 million images suspected to be child pornography -- and many have molested children, officials say. People who download the images once or twice, possibly by accident, are unlikely to be prosecuted, officials saidMichael Seto, a Canadian researcher, said he thinks that an "invisible population of pedophiles" has lived in society all along but remained mostly hidden until the Internet offered relative anonymity and a community of like-minded peopleThe National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's CyberTipline received about 4,500 reports of children being victimized it its first year, 1998. This year the center, which works closely with law enforcement officials, has collected nearly 100,000 reports, more than 75 percent for online child pornography. But an increase in federal cases -- a 28 percent spike in fiscal 2007 compared with the year before -- could partly be due to a rise in the number of agents attacking the problemThe frequency at which people who view child pornography also molest children is a highly controversial issue and has been the subject of little research. The only federal agency that tries to track the correlation, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, says that about one-third of the 2,713 people it has arrested since 1997 on child exploitation charges, primarily for trafficking in child pornography, also committed "contact offenses" against children. A recent study of 155 federal inmates in North Carolina convicted on child pornography charges suggests that the number is higher. It found that 85 percent admitted molesting children. The study's co-author, Andres Hernandez, told Congress last year that "these Internet child pornographers are far more dangerous to society than we previously thought." But some people who treat sex offenders say the risk is often minimal. "There are a large group of individuals whose lives and families are absolutely being devastated because they looked at these images," said Fred Berlin, a psychiatrist who runs the National Institute for the Study, Prevention and Treatment of Sexual Trauma, affiliated with Johns Hopkins University. "They had absolutely no idea how severe the consequences would be and had no interest in doing anything other than viewing images." _http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/14/AR2007121402257.html_ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/14/AR2007121402257.html) Articles on the Wenatchee Case Doctor confirms abuse in sex-ring case - Associated Press - 12/5/96 One girl showed definite medical signs of sexual abuse and it could not be ruled for two others, a defense witness testified (Dr Deborah Harper)...in the child rape and molestation trial of a Pentacostal preacher and his wife ...

[CTRL] Prosecutors file brief against overturning conviction of priest
-Caveat Lector- describes crimes Prosecutors file brief against overturning conviction of priest By David Yonke Blade Religion Editor 12/15/07 The Lucas County Prosecutor's Office filed an 80-page brief yesterday detailing its reasons why Toledo priest Gerald Robinson's murder conviction should not be overturned. The document, filed with Ohio's 6th District Court of Appeals, makes point-by-point rebuttals to arguments Robinson's attorneys made in August claiming the 69-year-old Catholic cleric did not receive a fair trial. Robinson was convicted in May, 2006, for the 1980 murder of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, a 71-year-old Catholic nun who was strangled nearly to death, then stabbed 31 times. Her body was found in the sacristy, the room next to the chapel, in the former Mercy Hospital early on the morning of April 5, 1980 - Holy Saturday. Robinson was a chaplain at Mercy and lived in an apartment at the hospital at the time. He was arrested by cold-case detectives April 23, 2004, more than 24 years after the murder. After a three-week trial in Lucas County Common Pleas Court, the priest was convicted of murder May 11, 2006. He is serving a 15-years-to-life sentence at Hocking Correctional Facility in southern OhioThe prosecutor's office said Robinson's appeals attorneys made numerous errors that were either "factually untrue," "misleading," "totally unsupported by the record," "fantastical," or "fiction."The prosecutor said though some witnesses have died since the 1980 murder and were therefore unavailable to testify, Robinson "had every opportunity to take the witness stand and tell the jurors anything that he felt was relevant to, contradictory of, or explanatory of any false accusations," the prosecutor's office said. The priest did not testify. The state never closed its investigation of Sister Margaret Ann's death, the prosecutor's office said, but the case gained new interest in 2003 after a Toledo Catholic nun accused Robinson "of sadomasochistic sexual abuse." _http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071215/NEWS10/712150408/-1/NEWS_ (http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071215/NEWS10/712150408/-1/NEWS) **See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop000304) www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Citing procedural considerations, however, the APA has declined to investigate the women's ethics complaints. Jennifer Hoult (a concert harpist living in New York) and Lynn Crook (a Washington State consultant) each filed separate complaints with the APA, alleging that Loftus mischaracterized the facts of their legal cases in published articles. Both women brought successful civil suits because of the sexual abuse that the fathers (and the mother, in Crook's case) perpetrated against them during their childhoods. At their trials, they presented corroborative evidence that met the requirements for judicial proof of their allegations. _http://www.astraeasweb.net/politics/loftus.html_ (http://www.astraeasweb.net/politics/loftus.html) Mayor Resigns, Claims Abduction By Satan Worshippers 11/21/07 CENTERTON, Ark. -- The mayor of an Arkansas town resigned on Wednesday, claiming he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan worshippers nearly three decades ago.

Duffy The Legal Intelligencer November 7, 2007 Fourteen alleged victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests have lost their bid to revive a civil anti-racketeering suit against the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for its alleged cover-up of the scandal. In its 14-page opinion in Magnum v. Archdiocese of Philadelphia, a unanimous three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's dismissal of the suit on the grounds that the plaintiffs cannot show they suffered a RICO-style injury that was caused by the cover-up. The ruling affirms a November 2006 decision by U.S. District Judge Legrome D. Davis who found that the RICO claims suffered from numerous fatal flaws. Davis ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue because their alleged damages stemmed from personal injury claims, which are not cognizable under RICO. He also found the plaintiffs could not plead proximate cause and could not plead a RICO "enterprise" or "pattern of racketeering activity." Now the 3rd Circuit has rejected the plaintiffs' appeal, finding that the entire theory of the suit was flawed because it was premised solely on the plaintiffs' alleged loss of the opportunity to bring personal injury claims within the statute of limitations. _http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1194343446106_ (http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1194343446106) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Among the arrestees, three allegedly molested children during trips abroad, and another three were believed to have filmed children porno scenes abroad. Police also seized about 1.5 million illegal images from one suspect's computer. The European-wide raid, codenamed "Koala", followed traces discovered in an operation on suspected child molesters in Australia in 2006, during which police found some 3,000 suspicious e-mail addresses. The operation was supervised by Europe's police agency Europol and Eurojust, the EU agency in charge of coordinating judicial affairs. _http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-11/01/content_6988532.htm_ (http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-11/01/content_6988532.htm) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] childhood trauma information
-Caveat Lector- Monitor on Psychology - Volume 38, No. 3 March 2007 - A new diagnosis for childhood trauma? Some push for a new DSM category for children who undergo multiple, complex traumas. By Tori DeAngelis Print version: page 32 No one knows how many children are affected, but one gauge is the number of children reported annually to child protection services for abuse and neglect—3 million. About 1 million of those cases are substantiated, according to a 2003 report by the Administration on Children, Youth and Families. Yet no one diagnosis adequately captures the plight of these youngsters, and that’s why a new diagnosis is needed for them, asserts a working group of child psychiatrists and psychologists developing such a diagnosis for possible inclusion in the 2011 iteration of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the DSM-5, published by the American Psychiatric Association. As it stands now, these children are often misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, working group members argue. The team is an interest group of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, a consortium of 70 child mental health centers founded and funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration that brings together clinicians who work with children who have complex trauma histories. To fill the gap, the group is proposing a diagnosis called “developmental trauma disorder” or DTD, to capture what members see as central realities of life for these children: exposure to multiple, chronic traumas, usually of an interpersonal nature; a unique set of symptoms that differs from those of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a variety of other labels often applied to such children _http://www.apa.org/monitor/mar07/diagnosis.html_ (http://www.apa.org/monitor/mar07/diagnosis.html) The Trauma Center is a program of Justice Resource Institute (JR1), a large nonprofit organization dedicated to social justice by offering hope and promise of fulfillment to children, adults, and families who are at risk of not receiving effective services essential to their safety, progress, and/or survival.

Epidemiological studies have documented the impact of childhood maltreatment on health and emotional well-being. Methods - After a brief review of the neurobiology of childhood trauma, we use the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study as an epidemiological case example of the convergence between epidemiologic and neurobiological evidence of the effects of childhood trauma. The ACE Study included 17,337 adult HMO members and assessed 8 adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) including abuse,witnessing domestic violence, and serious household dysfunctionResults Based upon logistic regression analysis, the risk of every outcome in the affective, somatic, substance abuse,memory,sexual,and aggressionrelated domains increased in a graded fashion as the ACE score increased (P<0.001). The mean number of comorbid outcomes tripled across the range of the ACE score. Conclusions - The graded relationship of the ACE score to 18 different outcomes in multiple domains theoretically parallels the cumulative exposure of the developing brain to the stress response with resulting impairment in multiple brain structures and functions. _http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~jdbremn/papers/anda_abuse.pdf_ (http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~jdbremn/papers/anda_abuse.pdf) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Court Reinstates Lawsuit Involving Priests' Satanic Rituals
-Caveat Lector- Court Reinstates Lawsuit Involving Priests’ Satanic Rituals describes crimes Court Reinstates Lawsuit Involving Priests’ Satanic Rituals 10/27/07 LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO—In a decision which will have far reaching effects in clergy abuse cases and eerily issued just days before Halloween, the Sixth District Court of Appeals in Ohio has reinstated a 2005 lawsuit involving alleged satanic rituals against a Toledo priest who was convicted last year in the 1980 murder of a nun. Roman Catholic Gerald Robinson, now 69, was convicted in May, 2006, of the murder of a 71-year-old nun and was sentenced to 15 years to life. His request to remain free pending appeal was denied. Now his attorneys have filed a new motion, asking the appellate court for the convicted murderer to be released on a $250,000 property bond with electronic monitoring while his appeal is pending, saying that the appeal has languished for 19 months. A Toledo woman had brought the civil litigation against Robinson anonymously, suing as Survivor Doe with her husband, Spouse Doe, claiming that Robinson was part of a group that had repeatedly raped her and tortured her in satanic rituals when she was a child. The woman is now in her 40’s. In addition to Robinson, defendants are Gerald Mazuchowski, a former lay minister; the Toledo Catholic Diocese; St. Adalbert Parish where she alleges the abuse occurred and the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. She alleges that Robinson, Mazuchowski and other men dressed in nuns’ habits, used women’s names and engaged in bizarre rituals, victimizing her. A lower court had dismissed her claim, saying it was barred under the statute of limitations. The Appellate Court has reversed that decision and reinstated the woman’s claim, saying that her claim isn’t time barred because she couldn’t identify her alleged abusers due to repressed memory “until she saw their faces/names from the television and newspaper reports about them” in 2004 and 2005 at the time Robinson was arrested and charged with the nun’s murder. _http://www.co.lucas.oh.us/Appeals/DecisionsPDF/3400.pdf_ (http://www.co.lucas.oh.us/Appeals/DecisionsPDF/3400.pdf) In December 2003, a woman reported to police that she had been sexually abused by a group of priests who performed Satanic rituals and held sadomasochistic orgies. Following the woman’s allegations in 2003, a cold-case squad began reviewing the nun’s murder case again. Three other women also came forward and claimed they had been sexually abused in cult-like ceremonies involving altars and men dressed in robes between the late 1960s and 1986. There have been allegations that church officials have tried to cover-up a crime. One of the women who came forward reached a monetary settlement with the church. The civil case reinstated against Robinson is being brought by the woman who originally made the allegations against him. In a letter to the Toledo diocese in 2003, the alleged victim detailed her allegations, describing being subjected to Satanic ceremonies in which priests placed her in a coffin filled with cockroaches, forced her to eat what she thought was a human eyeball and penetrated her with a snake “to consecrate these orifices to Satan”.She also reportedly alleged in the letter to the diocese that the group of priests killed an infant and a 3-year-old child, performed an abortion on her and chopped up dogs during the rituals. The lawsuit alleges that Survivor Doe had been the victim of “ clerical ritual and sexual abuse” as a child beginning when she was a student at St. Adalbert School by persons she later discovered to be Robinson and Mazuchowski and that the Diocese and others involved aided and abetted or covered up the actions of these priests and protected the priests while dissuading all such victims and their families from seeking action against them. Survivor Doe specifically alleges that the crimes began to occur while she was attending St. Adalbert from 1968 through 1972. She alleges she was kidnapped against her will and “held either against her will or by beguilement in the basement of St. Adalbert’s.” While being held there, she was used in elaborate, ritualistic ceremonies. The people perpetrating the crimes were dressed in nun habits and referred to themselves with the first name of a woman and then their own name. Robinson allegedly called himself “Mary Jerry” and Mazuchowski called himself “Carrie Jerry.” She has recalled suppressed memories of another yet unknown man who was referred to as Sue. After the woman left St. Adalbert school, she alleges the abuse continued in a wooded area. Her mother, who also allegedly participated in the ceremonies, took her to them. The plaintiff says she was intimidated from disclosing the events of all of the satanic ceremonies at the time
[CTRL] ritual abuse evidence
-Caveat Lector- ritual abuse evidence describes crimes 13abc is learning disturbing details of a letter, which set the Father Robinson case into motion - Father Robinson trial WTVG--October 29, 2007 - While Father Robinson's attorney works on his appeal, for the first time we are learning disturbing details of a letter, which set the cold case into motion. Last year, a jury found Gerald Robinson guilty of murdering Sister Margaret Ann Pahl in 1980. It was a letter to the Toledo Diocesan review board from June 2003 that sparked investigators to re-open the case. It is a letter filled with bizarre accounts of ritualistic sexual abuse at the hands of members of the Catholic Church, including priests. Mark Davis is an attorney representing another unknown client who alleges similar abuse by other priests and is suing the Toledo Catholic Diocese. Mark Davis says, "The group purposely makes it so bizarre that a child is not believable and they can escape and get away with these activities." In one case, a woman says when she was five she was taken to the Calvary Cemetery and put into a coffin-like pine box with cockroaches. Another time, she describes being taken to an abandoned house on Raab Road to take part in satanic activities. The letter also claims much of the sexual abuse took part at St. Pius and the rituals were horrifying and sadistic. _http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=local&id=5732335_ (http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=local&id=5732335) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS LUCAS COUNTY, OHIO Survivor Doe ) Case No. a protected identity ) c/o Mark A.

[James Friesen, Uncovering the Mystery of MPD, 1991] At a 1991 Utah workshop, thirty-two mental health therapists reported treating 360 separate survivors of ritual abuse. By early 1992 the following statement had been signed by sixty-six Utah therapists: "We, the undersigned mental health professional, have each heard memories of ritual abuse recounted by some patients, as have therapists across the nation. We believe these patients’’ allegations to have basis in fact. We are dismayed by accusations that therapists brainwash their patients or collude to create a mental health problem where none existed. We urge our public officials to take appropriate actions to counter ritual crimes." The names on the signed petition, affirming the above statement, are given in the 1992 report of the Utah Governor’’s Task Force on Ritual Abuse. [A. Horton, B. Harrison & B.

[CTRL] Wanda Karriker's Amazon Review of "Switching Time."
-Caveat Lector- Wanda Karriker's Amazon Review of "Switching Time." THE WORLD WILL KNOW!! With the publication of this book, the WORLD WILL KNOW more about the aftereffects of extreme abuse and the resiliency of the human spirit. Dr. Baer stands brave and tall and articulate in a field of controversy surrounding the reality of satanic ritual abuse, the credibility of repressed memories, and claims that therapists plant false memories of abuse in their patients. Although some of his peers may disagree with his observation that Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder) is rare, or criticize his way of directing therapy, in the end it is his patient, Karen, (a survivor of extreme abuse including child pornography, child prostitution, and satanic ritual abuse suffered at the hands of her father and his buddies), who should judge the effectiveness of her therapy and she does when she writes: "'Switching Time' is an accurate description of what I suffered and experienced"(p.342). In the throws of an apparently organized effort by accused perpetrators and their supporters in academia and the media to destroy therapists who work with the Karens of the world, (which in turn demeans survivors and their truths) Dr. Baer presents exactly what the book's subtitle promises. Perhaps the publication of this book will trigger "Switching Time" in responsible journalists and motivate them to write stories and conduct interviews with persons who will expose the truth about what has come to be called "false memory syndrome."

[CTRL] ritual abuse, human research
-Caveat Lector- An Empirical Look at the Ritual Abuse Controversy - Randy Noblitt, PhD Adapted in 2007 from a paper presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, Fort Worth, Texas, March 18, 1998. “Some authors argue that there is no substantial legal evidence that the ritual abuse of children actually occurs, and that most cases of ritual abuse convictions are reversed on appeal. Michael Newton (cited in Noblitt, 1998a) accumulated data on criminal convictions in the U.S. where allegations of ritual abuse of children were made. He found cases of 145 defendants who were sentenced. Seventeen (11.7%) were reversed on appeal. Newton argues that these reversals do not necessarily indicate that the defendants were innocent of the accusations. In some instances the decisions were reversed based on legal technicalities rather than factual matters as to whether the abuse occurred or not.” _http://www.ra-info.org/library/programming/noblitt.shtml_ (http://www.ra-info.org/library/programming/noblitt.shtml) Profile of Ritualistic and Religion-Related Abuse Allegations Reported to Clinical Psychologists in the United States - Bette L.

Young people were the victims in at least 1,801 of the cases, and more than 80 percent of those were students.

Tobin, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence.That number is higher than the 56 priests that Tobin's predecessor, Bishop Robert E. Mulvee, reported in 2004 as having been accused of sexual abuse of a minor between 1950 and 2002. The diocese said yesterday that the discrepancy is because the number reported three years ago included only credible allegations, while the number in the more recent court filing included an unspecified number of allegations that were "vague, anonymous, withdrawn, or ultimately found to be false." The diocese also said the higher number, which it said was adjusted to 85 after a careful document review, also includes allegations made after 2002, when a large number of alleged victims came forward as the clergy sexual abuse crisis erupted nationally." _http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/10/20/new_ri_report_raises_questions_on_clergy_abuse/_ (http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/10/20/new_ri_report_raises_questions_on_clergy_abuse/) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] satanic ritual abuse
-Caveat Lector- Multiple Personality Disorder and Satanic Ritual Abuse: the Issue Of Credibility Susan C. Van Benschoten, R.N., M.Ed., M.A. “Day care ritual abuse accounts usually implicate multiple non-familial perpetrators and multiple victims. Female perpetrators are nearly always reported. Characteristically, very young children and children of both sexes are said to be involved. Extreme forms of coercion and intimidation are typically reported, including threats of death and demonstrations that perpetrators possess magical powers. Extended, severe, and bizarre types of sexual abuse are frequently described, including penetration with objects, and forced sex between children and between children and adults. Physical and emotional abuse are reported as well, for example threats with weapons and the use of various forms of bondage. Children ' s disclosures often cite pornography and drug use as components of the abuse. Many reports allege cruelly to animals, or the mutilation and sacrifice of animals or human beings. Practices linked to satanism are often reported. Children frequently describe chanting or singing, the presence of symbols, costumes, masks, candles, and the ceremonial use of blood, urine, and feces. Finkelhor- et al. (1988) found the ritualistic cases in their national study of substantiated day care sexual abuse to he the ones "whose allegations seemed to most strain public and professional credulity. . (and) in which the children appeared to have suffered the most serious and lasting kind of damage " (p. 32). This impression is supported by the work of Kelley (in press).” _http://www.empty-memories.nl/dis_90/vanbenschoten_sra.pdf_ (http://www.empty-memories.nl/dis_90/vanbenschoten_sra.pdf) Sociological Views on the Controversial Issue of Satanic Ritual Abuse: Three Faces of the Devil - Mary deYoung, Ph.D. “It is estimated that 185 people were criminally charged in cases alleging satanic ritual abuse between 1983 and 1995 in this country; 113 of them were convicted, and over fifty of those people remain in prison today (Nathan & Snedeker, 1995).

Depue, Tim Curran, Marie T. Banich Whether memories can be suppressed has been a controversial issue in psychology and cognitive neuroscience for decades. We found evidence that emotional memories are suppressed via two time-differentiated neural mechanisms: (i) an initial suppression by the right inferior frontal gyrus over regions supporting sensory components of the memory representation (visual cortex, thalamus), followed by (ii) right medial frontal gyrus control over regions supporting multimodal and emotional components of the memory representation (hippocampus, amygdala), both of which are influenced by fronto-polar regions. These results indicate that memory suppression does occur and, at least in nonpsychiatric populations, is under the control of prefrontal regions.E-mail: depue{at}colorado.edu _http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/317/5835/215_ (http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/317/5835/215) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

But soon after Alberto Gonzales's arrival as attorney general in February 2005, the Justice Department issued another opinion, this one in secret. It was a very different document, according to officials briefed on it, an expansive endorsement of the harshest interrogation techniques ever used by the Central Intelligence Agency. The new opinion, the officials said, for the first time provided explicit authorization to barrage terror suspects with a combination of painful physical and psychological tactics, including head-slapping, simulated drowning and frigid temperatures. ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

By Teri Hatcher - Newsweek Oct. 8, 2007 issue I tell you this story with trepidation. But my fear is far outweighed by what I know is my obligation to help other victims of sexual abuse to not feel alone. To inspire other victims to realize that their lives do not have to be paralyzed by guilt and shame; they do not have to be defined by victimhood. And to convey to each and every damaged girl or woman that it is not her fault. Unfortunately, many, many girls are victims of sexual abuse. So even as we fight evil abroad, the evil of this abuse lives on in our neighborhoods. _http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21047603/site/newsweek/_ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21047603/site/newsweek/) _ Sex predators proliferating in cyberspace, experts say By Shirley Ragsdale - Register Religion Editor 9/30/07By several measures, the prevalence of online predators is increasing, despite the risk of being caught. _http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070930/NEWS/709 300330/1001/RSS01_ (http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070930/NEWS/709300330/1001/RSS01) Court hears about Sirois' mental state TheRecord.com - Local - Court hears about Sirois' mental state Dianne Wood - Record Staff - Kitchener The Kitchener man who admitted killing an elderly woman and her longtime boarder in 2004 practised Satanic rituals and saw demons, a hearing into his mental state at the time of the crime heard yesterday.

George, Utah - The leader of a polygamous Mormon splinter group was convicted today of being an accomplice to rape for forcing a 14-year-old girl to marry her 19-year-old cousin. Warren Jeffs, 51, could get life in prison after a trial that threw a spotlight on a renegade community along the Arizona-Utah line where as many as 10,000 of Jeffs' followers practice plural marriage and revere him as a mighty prophet with dominion over their salvationThe mainstream Mormon Church, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, renounced polygamy more than a century ago, excommunicates members who engage in the practice, and disavows any connection to the FLDS church. Jeffs is also charged in Arizona with being an accomplice to both incest and sexual misconduct with a minor for arranging marriages between two underage girls and relatives of theirs. In addition, Jeffs is under federal indictment in Utah on charges of fleeing to avoid prosecution. _http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation/bal-jeffs0925,0,301115.story_ (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation/bal-jeffs0925,0,301115.story) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

He videotaped the scenes and posted them online in what, they said, became "one of the most widely downloaded child pornography videos" in recent history, seen by millionsBillion-Dollar Black Market IndustryChild porn has emerged as a multibillion dollar black market industry, though "average people don't believe it," said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "The reality is, with the advent of the Internet, the problem of child pornography has exploded," said Allen. "There are more victims, the victims are younger, there are millions of people who are consuming, who are watching these images." U.S. Marshals Director Clark noted that with technology's advances comes the downside that children like Kylie Freeman can be victimized repeatedly. "Individuals like Mr. Freeman post pictures globally that are downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. [This] means that this image of this innocent child gets replicated and viewed over and over and over again," he said"There's a myth here," he said, "and that is the myth of the stranger." Allen pointed to NCMEC's data, which show that most child sexual exploitation victims know the perpetrator of the crime -- at least 35 percent of them are the victim's own parents and 70 percent are other family members or someone close to the child. _http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3132195&page=1_ (http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3132195&page=1) _ and _http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/Story?id=3132195&page=2_ (http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/Story?id=3132195&page=2) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Abuse victims complain about grilling at Cornwall inquiry
-Caveat Lector- Cornwall couple lauded for battling child abuse 5/4/99 A police officer and his wife from Cornwall have been formally recognized for their courage in trying to bring pedophiles to justice in their southeastern Ontario community. Perry and Helen Dunlop were given medals of honour Monday by a human rights group in Victoria, B.C. The Dunlops long pushed for an investigation into abuse against children. Despite their efforts, and the positive attention, the case is far from over -- and the pressure on the Dunlops continues. Perry Dunlop has been ostracized by his colleagues, charged with offences under the Police Act (he was later cleared) and took stress leave from work -- all because he reported a suspected case of child sex abuse to child welfare authorities, even though the police had dropped the matter, even though he'd been told by senior officers to stay out of it. Helen Dunlop says for all the trauma she and her husband have suffered, the award shows people across the country are paying attention. Perry Dunlop's action has turned into a huge inve stigation. So far, 12 men have been charged and at least 50 people have come forward with claims of abuse. _http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/1999/05/04/pedofile990504.html#skip300x250_ (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/1999/05/04/pedofile990504.html#skip300x250) Abuse victims complain about grilling at Cornwall inquiry Accused need equal treatment, lawyer says 2/20/07 Sexual abuse victims have complained about harsh treatment by lawyers at the Cornwall public inquiry, prompting the commissioner to intervene. Commissioner Normand Glaude was to tell lawyers Tuesday how far they should go when questioning the victims at the inquiry, after least one victim stormed off the stand in the middle of his testimony and another made a written complaint about how lawyers treated himThe inquiry is examining how public and private institutions responded after dozens of people alleged they were sexually abused by prominent men in the eastern Ontario community over several decadesBut Lee, who represents the victims, countered that the victims' names aren't important because they have no connection to each other. Meanwhile, he said, it is important to name both alleged and convicted abusers because of rumours that they were connected through an organized pedophile ring. _http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2007/02/20/cornwall.html_ (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2007/02/20/cornwall.html) Key witness stonewalls again at Cornwall sex-abuse inquiry Ottawa (CBC) - A former Cornwall police officer whose whistle-blowing sparked a controversial sexual-abuse investigation in the eastern Ontario community has refused for the second time in as many days to testify at the inquiry into the scandal. Perry Dunlop was forced by a subpoena to come from his home in British Columbia to appear at the inquiry, but both Monday and Tuesday he refused to answer questions from the witness stand, even when he was offered independent legal advice. "I lost my first house through legal advice. I don't want legal advice," he responded. "I have nothing to say. The inquiry, which opened in February 2006, has been examining the response of authorities in the 1990s to complaints that prominent members of the Cornwall community sexually abused dozens of children over decades starting in the 1950sDunlop's wife, Helen Dunlop, who answered a number of questions at the hearing on Tuesday morning before her husband was called to the stand, agreed to testify that afternoon. She described her husband as a man who loved his job, his community and his friendships with colleagues, but lost it all after he began his key role in the sexual-abuse investigation in 1993. That September, Dunlop walked in on two police sergeants while they were discussing the Catholic Church's agreement to pay a former altar boy $32,000. In exchange, the victim was dropping an abuse complaint. Against orders, Dunlop handed the original complaint to the Children's Aid Society, which pursued the case. He was disciplined for speaking out, but his continued work eventually led to four police investigations and charges against 15 people. Helen Dunlop broke down several times when she described the stress on her husband, his problems in collecting disability payments and the friends who encouraged him to drop the case. _http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/18092007/3/canada-key-witness-stonewalls-cornwall-sex-abuse-inquiry.html _ (http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/18092007/3/canada-key-witness-stonewalls-cornwall-sex-abuse-inquiry.html) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Class-action suit being prepared against GCC
-Caveat Lector- article describes crimes - Bishop may convene rare ecclesiastical court Michael Valpy - From Saturday's Globe and Mail 9/15/07 The Anglican priest alleged to have abused students through cult practices at an Eastern Ontario elite private school may face a rare ecclesiastical court convened by the bishop who is investigating his behaviour. The judicial procedure – almost never used in the Anglican Church of Canada – would be triggered by Rev. Charles Farnsworth's refusal to accept either a finding by the bishop that the allegations are substantive or a sentence of punishment that the bishop might impose. It has been used perhaps half a dozen times over the past 170 years. Mr. Farnsworth, in a Globe and Mail interview, has denied any knowledge of students being abused sexually, psychologically or physically during the two decades ending in 1997 when he was headmaster of Grenville Christian College near Brockville, Ont. He also has denied the specific allegations against him. Bishop George Bruce, who heads the diocese in which the now-closed school is located, has interviewed or scheduled interviews so far with nearly 20 former students and will continue his investigation at least until the end of this month. He has told former students he is taking their allegations “very seriously” and that he will keep his investigation open until everyone who wants to be heard is heardFormer teachers have said all but one or two of the school's staff until at least 1997 were “oblates” of the Community of Jesus, an organization in Massachusetts that has been identified in the U.S. media as a cult. _http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070915.grenville15/BNStory/National/home_ (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070915.grenville15/BNStory/National/home) Class-action suit being prepared against GCC By Kim Lunman - A lawyer based in Burlington is drafting a class-action lawsuit for hundreds of former Grenville Christian College students alleging decades of psychological and physical abuse at the now-closed private school east of Brockville. Personal injury lawyer Christopher Haber - who has been soliciting former pupils of the boarding school on an Internet message board where the allegations have surfaced - said "over 1,000" potential plaintiffs across North America have contacted him over the past several days. "We're currently reviewing and investigating the entire matter with the view to filing a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the victims," he said in a telephone interview. "We've had probably over 1,000 inquiries," said Haber. "The magnitude of the response did take us aback. ...There's all kinds of allegations of cruel and unusual punishment at the school." _http://newsfeed.recorder.ca/cgi-bin/LiveIQue.acgi$rec=23685_ (http://newsfeed.recorder.ca/cgi-bin/LiveIQue.acgi$rec=23685) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Research on the Effect of Trauma on Memory
-Caveat Lector- Research on the Effect of Trauma on Memory - Research has shown that traumatized individuals respond by using a variety of psychological mechanisms. One of the most common means of dealing with the pain is to try and push it out of awareness. Some label the phenomenon of the process whereby the mind avoids conscious acknowledgment of traumatic experiences as dissociative amnesia . Others use terms such as repression , dissociative state , traumatic amnesia, psychogenic shock, or motivated forgetting . Semantics aside, there is near-universal scientific acceptance of the fact that the mind is capable of avoiding conscious recall of traumatic experiences. _http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/tm/tm.html_ (http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/tm/tm.html) Summary of Research Examining the Prevalence of Full or Partial Dissociative Amnesia for Traumatic Events - The most comprehensive review of the scientific literature on dissociative amnesia has been conducted by Brown, Scheflin and Hammond in their book, Memory, Trauma Treatment, and the Law . (New York: Norton, 1998). This book is viewed as setting the standard in the field after receiving the American Psychiatric Association's 1999 prestigious Manfred S. Guttmacher Award for best book in law and forensic psychiatry. Brown, Scheflin and Hammond reviewed 43 studies relevant to the subject of traumatic memory and found that every study that examined the question of dissociative amnesia in traumatized populations demonstrated that a substantial minority partially or completely forget the traumatic event experienced, and later recover memories of the event. Dissociative amnesia can occur after any type of traumatic event. _http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/tm/prev.html_ (http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/tm/prev.html) ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Hosannah Church, Aboriginal Canadians
-Caveat Lector- Defense: witnesses in church rape cases now deny abuse 8/15/07 - AP Amite - Lawyers for church members accused of raping children say one alleged abuse victim now says he was never abused and his brother, an alleged witness, backs him up, a Baton Rouge newspaper reported Wednesday. Statements by two boys and a girl were the center of allegations that the minister of Hosanna Church, his wife and five members of their now defunct congregation sexually abused children from 1999 to 2003. But the boys, now 21 and 17 years old, now say there was no abuse and they were coerced into statements against the adults in the spring of 2005, attorneys for the minister, Louis Lamonica, and for the only defendant whose trial has been scheduled told The Advocate Tuesday.The girl, now 7 years old, still maintains she was sexually abused, prosecutors and her mother told The Advocate outside court on Tuesday, when a pretrial hearing was held for Bernard. His trial is scheduled Nov. 26. Because of her age during the alleged abuse -- infancy until she was 3 years old -- she is not expected to testify, Assistant District Attorney Don Wall saidNine church members were arrested and seven indictedWall said Bernard admitted abusing children, and one of those statements was videotaped. His statements mirrored the children's, the prosecutor said." _http://www.wwltv.com/local/northshore/stories/wwl081507khchurchabuse.37ae5b4f.html_ (http://www.wwltv.com/local/northshore/stories/wwl081507khchurchabuse.37ae5b4f.html) In Depth: Aboriginal Canadians - A timeline of residential schools CBC News Online | Dec. 21, 2006 _h ttp://www.cbc.ca/news/background/aboriginals/timeline_residentialschools.html_ (http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/aboriginals/timeline_residentialschools.html) ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] ritual abuse conference on TV and survey
-Caveat Lector- Conference Gives Comfort to Victims of Abuse - August 13, 2007 12:00 pm - WINDSOR LOCKS, CONNECTICUT (WWLP) - A conference meant to give hope and inspiration to survivors of severe child abuse was underway at the Doubletree Hotel in Windsor Locks, Connecticut Sunday. Many of the conference organizers and speakers are survivors of child abuse and they hoped the event would educate the public. Advocating for stricter child welfare policies, therapist Jeanette Westbrook spoke to conference attendees about her personal story of coping with abuse. Motivational speaker Kim Kubal, came from Australia to give encouragement and comfort to those struggling with the memories of abuse. Organizers plan to raise awareness of issues facing children by initiating community projects and agencies to help adult and child victims of abuse. _http://www.wwlp.com/Global/story.asp?S=6923795_ (http://www.wwlp.com/Global/story.asp?S=6923795) For Immediate Release - EXTREME ABUSE SURVIVORS BREAK THE SILENCE - Mind Control and Ritual Abuse Exposed as “Hidden Holocaust” Almost 1500 extreme abuse survivors from more than 30 countries recently participated in an online survey (in English and German) designed to explore commonalities regarding the nature and extent of the horrible crimes committed against them. Results of this and other surveys in the series -- one for professionals who have worked with adult survivors and one (currently online) for caregivers of child victims -- show the interplay between ritual abuse, traumatic mind control, child pornography, clergy abuse, sex trafficking and other forms of torture. (_http://extreme-abuse-survey.net_ (http://extreme-abuse-survey.net) ) Presenting some of the preliminary results of the adult survey to a large group of her fellow survivors and their advocates at SMART's “Tenth Annual Ritual Abuse, Secretive Organizations and Mind Control Conference” in Windsor Locks, CT on August 11, 2007, Carol Rutz challenged the audience: “Imagine for a moment that you are among this group of respondents and endured only one of these things, let alone the gamut of them. (1) Incest; ( 2) Child pornography and prostitution; (3) Sexual abuse by multiple perpetrators: (4) Being caged; (5) Starvation; (6) Bestiality; (7) Buried alive; (8) Electroshock; (9) Sensory deprivation; (10) Sleep deprivation; (11) Forced cannibalism, (12) Secret government-sponsored mind control experiments performed on you as a child.” Rutz continued: “Now imagine that no one believes you! This is what it feels like to be an Extreme Abuse Survivor.” Survey questions reflect some of the most contentious issues to ever engage the mental health field and spill over into the public arena: the reality of ritual abuse and government-sponsored mind control experiments, the credibility of repressed memories, and claims that therapists implant false memories of incest and ritual abuse in their clients’ minds. Relative to these controversies, of those who responded to the related questions, 55% reported ritual abuse in a satanic cult. 26% reported that secret government mind control experiments had been performed on them as children. 64% reported having memories of incest before they sought therapy. 48% reported having memories of ritual abuse before they sought therapy. Of 257 who reported secret mind control experiments used on them as children, 67% also reported having been ritually abused in a satanic cult. Of 53 different healing methods, respondents overwhelmingly chose individual psychotherapy/counseling as the most effective method for helping them overcome the aftereffects of extreme abuse. “The results of this survey will challenge many to step out of their comfort zones and change their world views,” Rutz said in her closing remarks. “ Will we allow these heinous types of abuse to lie in the shadows or do we have the courage to bring them into the light and face them?” ### Interview Contact: Wanda Karriker, Ph.D. (">[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Interview Contact: Carol Rutz (">[EMAIL PROTECTED]) ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] New Book on Cult Leader, Delaware leads the way on sex abuse
-Caveat Lector- New Book on Cult Leader Details What Prosecutor Calls His 'Most Significant' Case - R. Robin McDonald - Fulton County Daily Report 7/30/07 “Dwight "Malachi" York was a false prophet...and a sexual predator who headquartered his religious cult in rural Georgia, then used his position as a religious leader to deflect scrutiny from his criminal activities, a newly published book asserts. York's brazen willingness to attack his skeptics as racist, while portraying himself as a victim of racial and religious persecution, enabled him to con politicians, law enforcement authorities, civil rights organizations, academics and journalists, according to Bill Osinski, the author of "Ungodly: A True Story of Unprecedented Evil."..."Ungodly" is the story of York's rise and fall and the sordid secret behind his professed dreams to build a black Utopia in Putnam County, Ga., and take global a new religion with him as its self-styled savior. Inside Tama-Re, the faux Egyptian compound he had built on a 440-acre farm in Putnam County, York turned his female followers into concubines and their children into sex slaves. Today, the man who set himself up as The Master Teacher of the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors and the Pharaoh of Tama-Re is in federal prison, serving a 135-year term for racketeering and transporting minors in interstate commerce for unlawful sexual activity. _http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1185527208760_ (http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1185527208760) Delaware leads the way on sex abuse 7/31/07 by Maureen Paul Turlish - On July 10, a history-making event took place in Delaware when Gov. Ruth Ann Minner signed into law what is believed to be the most comprehensive civil legislation concerning the sexual abuse of minors. Delaware residents, over a period of two years, worked very hard to make the Child Victims Act (Senate Bill 29) a law. It provides for a two-year moratorium on the statute of limitations on lawsuits for sexual abuse. Victims have until July 10, 2009, to seek damages regardless of when the assaults occurred. _http://www.philly.com/inquirer/opinion/pa/8821237.html_ (http://www.philly.com/inquirer/opinion/pa/8821237.html) ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

In a first-of-its-kind study, investigators checked out CSA memories of 128 individuals by interviewing others abused by the same perpetrator, or people who learned about the victim's abuse shortly after it occurred or when the abuser confessed. Over a six-month period, they found corroborating evidence for 37 percent of memories that had been recovered outside of therapy, nearly matching the 45 percent corroboration rate for continuous memories—William Lee Adams _http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19886684/site/newsweek/_ (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19886684/site/newsweek/) ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Little is now being done to educate and train school counselors on ritual abuse and its signs. This paper offers a literature review of ritual abuse and the results of a survey of school counselors conducted in order to assess whether they had encountered the signs and symptoms of ritual abuse among school-age children. A 45-item questionnaire was developed and sent to 200 randomly selected counselors--119 were returned. Since the study was conducted as a blind review, it focused on whether counselors had encountered the signs and symptoms of ritual abuse at least one time within the last two years, as opposed to the number of times counselors observed these signs and symptoms in their students during the counseling session. Results indicated that, although counselors may not be aware of the signs and symptoms of ritual abuse, they did encounter such abuses in the counseling process. ...Approximately half of the respondents stated that their students were either self-mutilating or accident prone and fearful or preoccupied with death.” _http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordDetails/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_ &ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=ED380736&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=eric_accno&ac cno=ED380736_ (http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordDetails/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=ED380736&ERICExtSe arch_SearchType_0=eric_accno&accno=ED380736) (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) ** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] CIA brainwashing, Bad memories can be suppressed
-Caveat Lector- fwd from L Moss Sharman - CIA brainwashing to medical breakthroughs: study to look at Cold War research 7/15/07 Dene Moore - Montreal (CP) Suddenly, the human psyche was the new frontier and, thanks to a now-notorious CIA-funded experiment, Montreal found itself an unlikely hub of activity. At McGill's Allen Memorial Institute, Dr. Ewen Cameron believed he could "depattern" patients - an idea that cost the federal government an undisclosed amount of money this month in an out-of-court settlement with one former patient. Her lawyer said lawsuits involving other people are in the works. While Cameron's work was the most notorious, he was hardly alone. Over the next few years, Andrea Tome, a medical historian at McGill University, will try to document Canada's dubious Cold War psychiatric history. "It was happening all over," Tome said in a recent interview. "It's a race; not an arms race but a race for science, for technological improvement." Montreal became a "medical mecca" of sorts, due in no small part to Cameron's work and the research training program he established at McGill. Cameron served at various times as president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association and the World Psychiatric Association. His patients were put into drug-induced comas, given LSD and exposed for days or weeks at a time to recorded messages. Cameron thought he could "program" the patients without flaw, an idea that intrigued the CIA enough to provide funding, along with the Canadian federal government. Patients like Janine Huard, who picked up her settlement cheque from the Canadian government a few weeks ago, suffered lifetime effects. "I was a guinea pig," Huard told The Canadian Press in an earlier interview. The CIA previously settled lawsuits with several of Cameron's former patients, including Huard. It was unusual, even in the context of the times but it's important to understand that it was the 1950s," said Dr. Frederick Lowy, who was a junior colleague of Cameron at the institute. There was a lot of research and not a lot of rules. "Doctors who thought they could help a patient by doing something different and new, just did it," said Lowy, who went on to become head of psychiatry and dean of medicine at the University of Toronto With the CIA financing, Cameron's work became part of a project code-named MK-Ultra, which oversaw 149 similar experiments. More details about the project surfaced last month in declassified CIA documents. Among the 700-plus pages was a memo to the CIA Management Committee acknowledging that the agency accepted experimental drugs that were rejected by commercial manufacturers because of "unfavourable side-effects." The drugs were tested on monkeys and mice and, eventually, armed forces volunteers. "CIA projects weren't just being carried out in Montreal," Tome said. “ Clearly there was something larger going on than just one lunatic fringe doctor at work." Indeed, the CIA and Cameron were not alone. In 1961, 23 inmates at the Kingston Prison for Women were given LSD, one of many studies across the country of the drug which was not yet outlawed. Not all the prisoners consented. Tome said prisons were, at the time, "the No. 1 source of clinical trial research." While Cameron was conducting his experiments, Dr. Heinz Lehmann was pioneering the use of anti-psychotic drugs at the Verdun Protestant Hospital in Montreal. Like Cameron, he was doing it without supervision and without informed patient consent. Unlike Cameron, his experiments worked. Lehmann had read about a sedative he thought would be effective for psychiatric patients. "He thought he would give it a try on some of his schizophrenic patients," Tome said. "Within weeks, he had these incredible remission rates." The drug was thorazine, the first anti-psychotic drug to offer any hope for psychiatric patients. While Cameron's experiments were partially funded by the CIA, Lowy said they were not performed at the behest of the U.S. spy agency. _http://www.cbc.ca/cp/health/070715/x071504A.html_ (http://www.cbc.ca/cp/health/070715/x071504A.html) Bad memories can be suppressed - People are able to make themselves forget disturbing images.

[CTRL] LA Church to Pay $600M for Clergy Abuse
-Caveat Lector- LA Church to Pay $600M for Clergy Abuse 7/14/07 - By Gillian Flaccus - Los Angeles (AP) - The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles will settle its clergy abuse cases for at least $600 million, by far the largest payout in the church's sexual abuse scandal, The Associated Press learned Saturday. Attorneys for the archdiocese and alleged victims are expected to announce the deal Monday, the day the first of more than 500 clergy abuse cases was scheduled for jury selection, according to two people with knowledge of the agreement. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the settlement had not been made public. The archdiocese and its insurers will pay between $600 million and $650 million to about 500 plaintiffs - an average of $1.2 million to $1.3 million per person. The settlement also calls for the release of confidential priest personnel files after review by a judge assigned to oversee the litigation, the sources said. _http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6779906,00.html_ (http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6779906,00.html) ** Get a sneak peak of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Research reveals anatomy of suppressed memories
-Caveat Lector- Research reveals anatomy of suppressed memories: study 7/12/07 US researchers have identified the parts of the brain that are involved with suppressing unpleasant memories, a finding that could have implications for treating depression or post traumatic stress disorder, according to a study released ThursdayThe concept of memory suppression has been a controversial one among psychologists for a century, but in this study neuroscientists used brain scans to show that volunteers who have been asked to banish disturbing memories show very specific patterns of brain activity. The scans showed that two specific regions of the prefrontal cortex -- what neuroscientists call the seat of cognitive control -- appear to work in tandem to modulate posterior brain regions like the visual cortex, the hippocampus and amygdala. These areas are involved in tasks such as visual recall, memory encoding and retrieval and emotional expression. "These results indicate memory suppression does occur, and, at least in nonpsychiatric populations, is under the control of the prefrontal cortex," the investigators reported in the journal Science. For the purpose of the experiment, the 16 volunteers were given 40 pairs of photographs to study. In each case, an image of a neutral human face was paired with an emotionally disturbing image such as a car crash, a wounded soldier, an electric chair or a violent crime scene. After memorizing each pair, the volunteers were placed in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner. Once inside the machine, they were shown only the neutral face images and instructed to either actively recall the associated image or to actively suppress it. The results of the scans or fMRIs (functional magnetic resonance imaging) indicated that the volunteers were able to "exert some control over their emotional memories," said Brendan Depue, a doctoral student in neuroscience at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and lead author of the study. "By essentially shutting down specific portions of the brain, they were able to stop the retrieval process of particular memories," Depue said. _http://www.physorg.com/news103471796.html_ (http://www.physorg.com/news103471796.html) Traumatic Stress Induces Brain Change in Children 3/5/07 Michael Smith Reviewed by Robert Jasmer, MD; Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco Stanford, Calif., March 5 -- Children with post-traumatic stress disorder, similar to adults, show physical changes in the brain, according to researchers here. In a pilot study of 15 children, higher PTSD scores and higher cortisol levels were significantly (P<0.05) correlated with relative decreases over time in the volume of the right hippocampus, reported Victor Carrion, M.D., of Stanford, and colleagues, reported in the March issue of Pediatrics. On the other hand, there was no correlation with changes in the left hippocampal volume, Dr. Carrion and colleagues found. In adults, PTSD is associated with lower hippocampal volumes compared with adults who do not have stress disorder, Dr. Carrion and colleagues noted, but such a relation hasn't been shown in children. _http://psychiatrictimes.com/psychiatryNews/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=197800148&cid=PT-news-toc-071207_ (http://psychiatrictimes.com/psychiatryNews/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=197800148&cid= PT-news-toc-071207) Science 13 July 2007: Vol. 317. no. 5835, pp. 215 - 219 DOI: 10.1126/science.1139560 Research Articles - Prefrontal Regions Orchestrate Suppression of Emotional Memories via a Two-Phase Process Brendan E. Depue,1,2* Tim Curran,1,2,3 Marie T. Banich1,2,3,4 Whether memories can be suppressed has been a controversial issue in psychology and cognitive neuroscience for decades. We found evidence that emotional memories are suppressed via two time-differentiated neural mechanisms: (i) an initial suppression by the right inferior frontal gyrus over regions supporting sensory components of the memory representation (visual cortex, thalamus), followed by (ii) right medial frontal gyrus control over regions supporting multimodal and emotional components of the memory representation (hippocampus, amygdala), both of which are influenced by fronto-polar regions. These results indicate that memory suppression does occur and, at least in nonpsychiatric populations, is under the control of prefrontal regions. _http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/317/5835/215_ (http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/317/5835/215) ** Get a sneak peak of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Ottawa settles brainwashing class action
-Caveat Lector- fwd from L Moss Sharman - - Allan Memorial Institute. CIA-funded treatments included electroshock, experimental medication Max Harrold - The GazettePublished: 7/5/07 Decades after she was unknowingly brainwashed in a program funded by the federal government and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Janine Huard has found some peace of mind in a cash settlement. Exactly how much, she can't say, because she agreed to keep the amount secret as part of her deal to drop her class-action lawsuit against the federal governmentOn and off for 15 years, Huard received massive electroshock therapy, experimental pills and was forced to listen to repetitive recorded messages for days on end. Huard's lawyer, Alan Stein, said the amount she received Tuesday does not exceed the $100,000 the federal government paid to each of 77 other victims of the brainwashing techniques in 1994. Huard also received some interest on the money, he said. She and about 200 other victims of the treatments were denied the 1994 offer because they were deemed to have suffered less than those who were paid. In 1989, Huard was one of nine plaintiffs awarded $67,000 U.S. from the CIA. Stein plans to seek permission to launch a new class-action lawsuit in Federal Court "within weeks" with another former brainwashing patient as the central plaintiff. He knows of about 10 former patients and 20 relatives of former patients who may be part of the new lawsuit, he said. They could have access to $100,000, plus as much as $50,000 in interest, he saidUntil 1964, the Allan's ex-director, Ewen Cameron, conducted experiments at the institute, often without the knowledge or permission of patients. Some patients were kept in drug-induced comas for months. The experiments were part of a larger CIA program called MK-ULTRA, which saw LSD administered to U.S. prison inmates and patrons of brothels without their knowledge, according to testimony before a 1977 U.S. Senate committee. Huard entered the Allan in 1957 after suffering postpartum depression after the birth of her second child. Her newborn had become ill and Huard was having trouble sleeping. Cameron used his experimental techniques on her, mistakenly believing they could treat depression. _http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/montreal/story.html?id=549f3d3d-65d4-4f75-b389-22b5964c2873_ (http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/montreal/story.html?id=549f3d3d-65d4-4f75-b389-22b5964c2873) ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

In unpublicized sessions, New Orleans therapist Valerie Wolf introduced two of her patients who had uncovered memories of being part of extensive CIA brainwashing programs as young children (in one case, starting at age seven). Their brainwashing included torture, rape, electroshock, powerful drugs, hypnosis and death threats. According to their testimony, the CIA then induced amnesia to prevent their recalling these terrifying sessions. Both Wolf and her patients stated that they recovered the memories of this CIA program without regression or hypnosis techniques. In other words, these patients spontaneously discovered this information about themselves and their pasts.” This article appeared in Perceptions Magazine September/October 1995 10734 Jefferson Blvd., Suite 502 Culver City, CA 90230 (310) 313-5185 - and - The Leading Edge Research Journal Issue No. 85, September 1995 Leading Edge Research Group POB 7530 Yelm, Washington 98597 _http://www.netti.fi/~makako/mind/child.txt_ (http://www.netti.fi/~makako/mind/child.txt) ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

The nature of the experiments, gathered from government documents and testimony in numerous lawsuits brought against the CIA, is shocking, from testing LSD on children to implanting electrodes in victims' brains to deliberately poisoning people with uranium. "The CIA bought my services from my grandfather in 1952 starting at the tender age of four," wrote Carol Rutz of her experiences. "Over the next 12 years, I was tested, trained, and used in various ways. "Electroshock, drugs, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, and other types of trauma were used to make me complain and split my personality (to create multiple personalities for specific tasks). "Each alter or personality was created to respond to a post-hypnotic trigger, then perform an act and (I would) not remember it later. "This Manchurian Candidate program was just one of the operational uses of the mind-control scenario by the CIA. "Your hard-earned tax dollars supported this." The US began these experiments after World War II when it made a grab for hundreds of Nazi scientists and doctors who had been researching mind control in concentration camps, fearing they would fall into Soviet hands. US military intelligence leaders were paranoid that they were falling behind the communist bloc in the brain-washing race. The programs, though carefully hidden, continued into the 1970s - when Helms ordered much of the documentation to be destroyed. _http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21978876-2,00.html_ (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21978876-2,00.html) ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

From ancient Societies to modern day apocalyptic cults, this Seminar will uncover the dangerous truth about the world of destructive cults...To register: Dr. Mary Jo Schneller 314-729-0481 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) this one forwarded from L Moss Sharman Witness says he ferried men to homes of alleged abusers; But at least one says the allegations are 'crazy' Terri Saunders 6/21/07 Local News - A number of prominent Cornwall men spent time at homes owned by a probation officer fingered as a child molester and a Crown attorney charged with sexual assault in the 1990s, a witness told the Cornwall Public Inquiry Wednesday. Gerald Renshaw said he personally observed priests, businessmen and police officers at the home of Ken Seguin in Summerstown and at Malcolm MacDonald's cottage on Stanley Island in the 1980s and 1990s. Seguin was a probation officer at the time who has been identified by a number of witnesses at the inquiry as a perpetrator of sexual abuse against young boys. MacDonald was charged with a number of sex-related offences in March 1999 by officers with Project Truth, an OPP investigation into child sexual abuse in the Cornwall area. MacDonald died in Florida in December 1999 before his matter could go to trial and Seguin committed suicide in 1994 before he was charged with any crime. On Wednesday, Renshaw testified he ferried people to and from Seguin's house and MacDonald's cottage and named several people he observed either at one or both locations, including current Crown attorney Murray MacDonald, Rev. Charles MacDonald, former Cornwall Police Chief Claude Shaver and city businessman Andre Pommier. "How often did you see Charles MacDonald there?" asked Peter Engelmann, lead commission counsel. "Once a week, twice a week," said Renshaw. "And Malcolm MacDonald?" asked Engelmann."At least that often," said Renshaw. "Charles MacDonald and Ken Seguin had known each other for quite a few years. They were very good friends." During cross-examination Wednesday, an attorney for the Alexandria-Cornwall Roman Catholic Diocese questioned Renshaw about the fact he had no proof any of the people he says he saw at either location were doing anything wrong. "You don't have any first-hand personal knowledge of any wrongdoing by anyone at Ken Seguin's house or Malcolm MacDonald's cottage other than Ken Seguin," said David Sherriff-Scott. "Correct," said Renshaw. _http://www.standard-freeholder.com/webapp/sitepages/printable.asp?paper=www.standard-freeholder.co m&contentid=579812&annewspapername=Cornwall+Standard+Freeholder_ (http://www.standard-freeholder.com/webapp/sitepages/printable.asp?paper=www.standard-freeh older.com&contentid=579812&annewspapername=Cornwall+Standard+Freeholder) describes crimes Satanic stabbing links to bank standoff?

[CTRL] The CIA's torture teachers, Documents offer unflattering view of CIA
-Caveat Lector- _http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/06/21/cia_sere/index_np.html_ (http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/06/21/cia_sere/index_np.html) The CIA's torture teachers Psychologists helped the CIA exploit a secret military program to develop brutal interrogation tactics -- likely with the approval of the Bush White House. By Mark Benjamin There is growing evidence of high-level coordination between the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. military in developing abusive interrogation techniques used on terrorist suspects. After the Sept. 11 attacks, both turned to a small cadre of psychologists linked to the military's secretive Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape program to "reverse-engineer" techniques originally designed to train U.S. soldiers to resist torture if captured, by exposing them to brutal treatment. The military's use of SERE training for interrogations in the war on terror was revealed in detail in a recently declassified report. But the CIA's use of such tactics -- working in close coordination with the military -- until now has remained largely unknown. According to congressional sources and mental healthcare professionals knowledgeable about the secret program who spoke with Salon, two CIA-employed psychologists, James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, were at the center of the program, which likely violated the Geneva Conventions on the treatment of prisoners. The two are currently under investigation: Salon has learned that Daniel Dell'Orto, the principal deputy general counsel at the Department of Defense, sent a "document preservation" order on May 15 to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other top Pentagon officials forbidding the destruction of any document mentioning Mitchell and Jessen or their psychological consulting firm, Mitchell, Jessen and Associates, based in Spokane, Wash. Dell'Orto's order was in response to a May 1 request from Sen. Carl Levin, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who is investigating the abuse of prisoners in U.S. custody. _http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070622/ap_on_go_ot/cia_secrets;_ylt=AvuR8a46ILcm hPIcRdoOM1fMWM0F_ (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070622/ap_on_go_ot/cia_secrets;_ylt=AvuR8a46ILcmhPIcRdoOM1fMWM0F) Documents offer unflattering view of CIA By JENNIFER C.

A six-page summary memo that was declassified in 2000 and released by The National Security Archive at George Washington University on Thursday outlines 18 activities by the CIA that "presented legal questions" and were discussed with President Ford in 1975. ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

-Caveat Lector- House passes landmark child abuse bill, 41-0 - Minor amendment sends S.B. 29 back to Senate; easy confirmation expected By Beth Miller, The News Journal Posted Wednesday, 6/20/07 Dover -- Delaware's House of Representatives passed what one law professor called "the strongest bill for child sexual abuse victims in the country" by a 41-0 vote Tuesday. Senate Bill 29 eliminates the two-year civil statute of limitations in cases of child sexual abuse. It also provides a two-year window during which claims previously barred by statute could be filed -- opening the courthouse door to victims unable to seek justice because the statute of limitations had expired. Institutions that allowed the abuse to occur through gross negligence also could be sued. _http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070620/NEWS/706200394/1006/NEWS_ (http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070620/NEWS/70620039 4/1006/NEWS) ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Police Smash Global Pedophile Ring, Ritual Abuse Website
-Caveat Lector- Police Smash Global Pedophile Ring By D'arcy Doran AP 6/18/07 London -- A team of international investigators infiltrated an Internet chat room used by pedophiles who streamed live videos of children being raped, rescuing 31 children and identifying more than 700 suspects worldwide. Undercover officers in Britain, the U.S., Canada and Australia busted up the pedophile ring using surveillance techniques more commonly associated with fighting terrorism and organized crime. Police shattered a global Internet pedophile ring, rescuing 31 children and rounding up more than 700 suspects worldwide, authorities said Monday. Some 200 suspects are based in the United Kingdom, said the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center, or CEOP. The ring was traced to an Internet chat room called "Kids the Light of Our Lives" that featured images of children being subjected to horrific sexual abuse including streaming live videos of the abuse. The chat room, which was called "Kids the Light of Our Lives," featured images, including live videos, of children _ some only months old _ being subjected to horrific sexual abuse, said Jim Gamble, chief executive of Britain's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center. _http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/18/AR2007061800358.html?hpid =moreheadlines_ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/18/AR2007061800358.html?hpid=moreheadlines) Strength To Heal.com!

[CTRL] $41 Million Award in Priest Abuse Suit - repressed memory
-Caveat Lector- $41 Million Award in Priest Abuse Suit By Randall Chase, AP Writer 3/30/07 A jury awarded $41 million Friday to a Navy officer who said a Roman Catholic priest sexually abused him hundreds of times as a teen. Jurors awarded Cmdr. Kenneth Whitwell $6 million in compensatory damages and $35 m illion in punitive damages. Whitwell, 39, claimed the Rev. Edward J. Smith raped and sodomized him more than 230 times over several years at Archmere Academy, and that church officials did nothing to stop it. The Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, Bishop Michael Saltarelli and the high school were dismissed from the lawsuit last yearWhitwell, an optometrist stationed at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va., said he repressed any memory of his sexual abuse until 2000, when it surfaced unexpectedly during a heated argument with his wife. _http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/03/30/national/a173051D72.DTL_ (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/03/30/national/a173051D72.DTL) ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] CIA Ran Secret Prisons for Detainees in Europe, Says Inquiry
-Caveat Lector- _http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/060807J.shtml_ (http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/060807J.shtml) CIA Ran Secret Prisons for Detainees in Europe, Says Inquiry By Stephen Grey The Guardian UK Friday 08 June 2007 The CIA operated secret prisons in Europe where terrorism suspects could be interrogated and were allegedly tortured, an official inquiry will conclude today. Despite denials by their governments, senior Polish and Romanian security officials have confirmed to the Council of Europe that their countries were used to hold some of America's most important prisoners captured after 9/11 in secret. None of the prisoners had access to the Red Cross and many were subject to what George Bush has called the CIA's "enhanced" interrogation, which critics have condemned as torture. Although suspicions about the secret CIA prisons have existed for more than a year, the council's report, seen by the Guardian, appears to offer the first concrete evidence. It also details the prisons' operations and the identities of some of the prisoners. The council has also established that within weeks of the 9/11 attacks, Nato signed an agreement with the US that allowed civilian jets used by the CIA during its so-called extraordinary rendition programme to move across member states' airspace. Its report states: "We have sufficient grounds to declare that the highest state authorities were aware of the CIA's illegal activities on their territories." The council's investigators believe that agreement may have been illegal. ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] ‘God’s banker’ murder su spects acquitted
-Caveat Lector- ‘God’s banker’ murder suspects acquitted By Tony Barber in Rome 6/6/07 All five defendants in one of modern Europe’s most mysterious murder cases were acquitted on Wednesday of killing Roberto Calvi, the Italian financier known as ”God’s banker” on account of his illicit work on behalf of the Vatican’s bank. The Rome court where the case had been heard since October 2005 acquitted four defendants on the grounds that there was ”insufficient proof” that they had murdered Calvi. The court fully acquitted the fifth. The verdict was delivered almost exactly 25 years after Calvi’s body was found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in London, his clothes stuffed with bricks, stones and large amounts of cash in international currenciesAlthough British police in 1982 treated Calvi’s death as a suicide, the authorities in Rome were convinced that it was linked to his connections with the Vatican’s bank, the secret Propaganda Due (P2) masonic lodge and Italian political parties. Calvi, who was chairman of Banco Ambrosiano, a private bank, laundered money through the Vatican’s bank, financed clandestine arms deals and channelled funds illegally to Italy’s political parties. Banco Ambrosiano collapsed soon after his death. Prosecutors alleged at the trial that Mr Calò and the three other male defendants killed Calvi because they wanted to punish him for embezzling mafia funds, protect the profits from Banco Ambrosiano’s illegal activities, and prevent Calvi from revealing everything he knew about the Vatican’s bank, P2 and other sensitive matters. _http://www.ft.com/cms/s/762db34c-1442-11dc-88cb-000b5df10621.html_ (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/762db34c-1442-11dc-88cb-000b5df10621.html) Calvi murder: The mystery of God's banker - It was a trial which promised to solve the 25-year old case of Roberto Calvi, who was found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge. But yesterday a judge acquitted all five defendants By Peter Popham and Philip Willan in Rome and Robert Verkaik 6/7/07 Twenty-five years after the event, the trial of the alleged killers of Roberto Calvi has ended with the sensational acquittal of all five defendants: a Sardinian property dealer and his mistress, a Mafia accountant already serving life for other offences, a Roman loan shark and the banker's one-time bodyguard, all are absolved. Yet it would be a mistake to say we are back at square one. In the snail-like progress of this case since that day in June 1982 when the Italian banker was found at the end of a rope under Blackfriars Bridge, there has been a major step forward. Evidence strong enough to convict the five was missing, decided Judge Mario Lucio d'Andria. But there is no longer much room for doubt that Roberto Calvi was murdered. _http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article2621811.ece_ (http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article2621811.ece) ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Chance discovery of abused child reveals bizarre Czech grail cult
-Caveat Lector- Chance discovery of abused child reveals bizarre Czech grail cult By Daniel McLaughlin in Budapest 6/2/07 When police searched the area on 10 May, sisters Klara and Katerina Mauerova allegedly refused to open a locked door in their home. When firemen broke it down, they found Klara's eight-year-old son Ondrej inside, bound with duct tape, badly dehydrated and watched over by a video camera. Investigators believed Ondrej had been maltreated for six months, and he was taken into care with his brother Jakub and a girl called Anna, whom a court had allowed Klara Mauerova to adopt in March. What was just a case of child abuse seized the nation's attention, however, when Anna disappeared from a children's home, sparking a search for her in nearby woods and villages. Then came the bizarre revelation that "Anna" was not a 13-year-old girl, but a 34-year-old woman in disguise. Police believe "Anna" was actually Barbara Skrlova, a friend of the Mauerova sisters who, like them, belongs to a breakaway faction of an organisation called the Grail Movement. The Grail Movement follows the teachings of Oskar Ernst Bernhardt, a German also known as Abd-ru-shin, who from 1923-38 wrote the Grail Message, which depicts man as a being whose spirit can return to its source in heaven by performing good deeds on Earth. It claims to have at least 10,000 followers worldwide, including several hundred in Britain. "We broke with the people involved in this 11 years ago, after they added to the Grail Message with their own imaginings and fantasies," said Artur Zaplukal, spokesman of the Grail Movement in the Czech Republic, where it has about 1,500 followers. "I sent them a letter telling them they were no longer part of the Grail Movement." _http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article2606405.ece_ (http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article2606405.ece) ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

[CTRL] mk-ultra, Mengele on Mount Royal, Bio-electromagnetic Weapons, RFID tags
-Caveat Lector- Ann Diamond’s MY COLD WAR is a journey into their nightmare, and beyond. It also takes readers into the wold of ”remote viewing”, a technique of psychic espionage which the military developed for use in warfare. If governments are still funding research aimed at unlocking the secrets of the mind in order to use them to enslave human beings, Diamond suggests ordinary people can defeat the frightening scenario. MY COLD WAR is a step toward remembering the darker side of the 1950’s, the Cold War decade which, even today, remains shrouded in secrecy. _http://lulu.com/diamondback_ (http://lulu.com/diamondback) Mengele on Mount Royal by Kristian Gravenor Diamond believes that Mengele was involved with the Allan experiments. Cameron and Mengele’s timelines dovetail: Both were in Bavaria in 1945 (Mengele was hiding, Cameron was at the Nuremberg Trials). Cameron was keen on some controversial ideas. For example, he supported an application in 1956 to explore links between schizophrenia and eye colour, Mengele’s pet obsession. Diamond has integrated her research into an unpublished 310-page manuscript called My Cold War. You can download it for a few bucks from _www.lulu.com_ (http://www.lulu.com/) , it’s in novel form, and since it’s not printed on paper, she can change it at any time. _http://www.montrealmirror.com/2005/112405/kristian.html_ (http://www.montrealmirror.com/2005/112405/kristian.html) Bio-electromagnetic Weapons: The ultimate weapon by Institute of Science in Society Global Research, May 29, 2007 ISIS Press Release A weapon system that operates at the speed of light, that can kill, torture, enslave and escape detection, Harlan Girard - The ultimate weapon - Electromagnetic weapons operate at the speed of light; they can kill, torture and enslave; but the public are largely unaware that they exist, because these weapons operate by stealth and leave no physical evidence. Electromagnetic weapons have been tested on human beings since 1976. By widely dispersing the involuntary human test-subjects, and vehemently attacking their credibility, it has been possible for the United States to proceed with these human experiments unhindered by discussions or criticisms, let alone opposition. _http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=5797_ (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=5797) The world's smallest and thinnest RFID tags were introduced yesterday by Hitachi.

[CTRL] Deployment raises abuse risk in military families
-Caveat Lector- Deployment raises abuse risk in military families 5/14/07 New York (Reuters Health) "Children in military families are at greater risk of maltreatment after a parent is deployed to conflict areas -- and after the parent returns, a new study suggests. The rate of child maltreatment doubled among Texas military families in the nine months after October 2002, when Congress gave President George Bush the go-ahead to send troops to Iraq, the researchers found. "Both departures to and returns from operational deployment impose stresses on military families and likely increase the rate of child maltreatment," Dr. E. Danielle Rentz of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and her colleagues write in the American Journal of Epidemiology. "Such increases in child maltreatment may also extend to families at risk of being deployed." _http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2007/05/14/eline/links/20070514elin002.html _ (http://www.reutershealth.com/archive/2007/05/14/eline/links/20070514elin002.html) ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

But Mario Landolfi, who heads Rai's parliamentary oversight committee, has asked Rai to prevent its transmission.
