Each new batch of released documents was suggestive of ever more extreme crimes by Jeffrey Epstein and his contacts. Over unsecured channels such as emails these people exchanged vague inquiries and words of gratitude which seem like preferences for toddlers and babies. Different points of data give the impression Epstein and some others may have been psychopathic in a clinical sense and capable of habitual homicide for fun or to make witnesses disappear. Influencers on social media pull out the biggest guns they have and talk about organized “satanism” or a specifically jewish world conspiracy satanism. For generations many amateurish and deceitful influencers have sabotaged investigations, misdirected audiences and even advertised one suspicious elite group over another. Falsified or unsupported material gets endlessly recycled and expanded. Self-declared experts, fake whistleblowers and fake escaped victims compete for our attention span. You can’t fail harder than damaging specific investigations, hurting the overall credibility of entire topics and then advertising for the psychopathic Russian elites.
The redacted document dumps we see are a classic tatic of overwhelming the audiences. Endless amounts of pages, lots of talk, no real consequences and then the topic dies down. Epstein’s former contacts may get silently punished and demoted by unseen masters for habitually violating baseline operational security procedures. The next generation of criminals will be more careful. The system goes on as it usually does.
Get the generalisations out of the way
Imagine people in big African cities who follow the news and online cmmentary about Epstein. They may exclaim that this case is about white people and whites are the devil. Statistically speaking, out of all the white people in the world, almost nobody is in the Epstein files. We know precisely what Africas had done to other Africans on a mass scale, the mutilations, massacres and abuses.
It’s also not about jewishness. Statistically almost no jews in the world are in the files. Jewish individuals can choose to commit these crimes and pick some rationalisation for them such as national security or imagined occult reasons.
History is full of Germans, nordic Vikings, Arabs, Chinese, slavs and other ethnic groups committing every possible atrocities and a grand scale. This was not limited to elites at all. It may be tempting to point at Epstein and his billionaires and politicians and exclaim: “Power to the people!” Yet it was normal people who took part in imperial conquests and killed, mutilated or abused men, women and children. Chinese peasants during the famines created by Mao and his communists sometimes even resorted to cannibalism.
Every time law enforcement takes down another platform on the dark web specializing in underage pictures and videos, they see memberships of hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world. We may see arrests of dumber criminals who store illegal material on google drive or chat up minors on the open web. Others are very crafty and organized.
Not even “satanism” or mystery cults are an exclusively elite phenomenon. There are dangerous folk groups on the countryside that you will never hear of. Those members have no power over the political system or the economy. Some satanists are active in cities and you can walk past them without noticing anything strange.
The imperial logic of organized abuse and occultism
It is atrocious how some historians and archaeologists normalize or glorify ancient empires. When we know how insane the Nazis and communists were or what the French, British and muslim empires were willing to do, how can we ever assume the Babylonians and Assyrians were pragmatic and “normal”?
Criminologists understand the structure of organized crime, multigenerational crime familes and inter-clan structures. Specific iron-clad fundamental rules, rule enforcement, work ethic and reward systems. A group cannot function for long if the members are increasingly lazy and addicted to drugs and “fun”. Neither can it function if it’s all just work and no fun activities. Deviant and downright psychopathic sexual preferences are most effective when you build an elite members club. Not because it makes sense to gather incriminating data and use that to bully and threaten the members. The idea that leadership actually follows through with a threat is absurd as this would publicly expose the game itself. Membership comes with protection and infrastructure. You don’t have to spend your time dealing with procuring victims and the logistics of it all and the operational security. You just schedule the “fun” time and choose the particulars.
Thousands of years ago this way of leadership became dominant. Every empire that came and went was just a variation or a copy. Religious elements only seemed to solidify and amplify the psychopathic ecosystem.
From a strict atheist perspective the ancient gods were invented or imagined as the top tier crime bosses and cult leaders: The most pronounced psychopathic and narcissistic traits, the highest authority. From a religious perspective the humans became the tools of entities. We see the classic paradox: It was expected that human leaders thrive on the narcissistic fantasy of being super-human while being subjected to the same limitations as the lowest peasant: They would get ill, tired, injured and could fail. Successes were counted as the culmination of occult practices and for failures you could blame vague cosmic mechanisms.
Cult elements were extented to the general populations to control their minds, their understanding of cause and effect, their fears and desires. Cultists make good informants too who would snitch on anybody. We don’t know what percentage of leaders believed how much in the mystery cult religion and how much they saw this as just a mechanism that worked in their interests and which was used by competing empires anyway.
Do we have real proof that an actual empire’s elite practiced psychopathic rituals on a regular basis? Yes we do.
The Aztecs
The Aztec empire in the early 16th century had 6 million inhabitants and it was a monarchy with an emperor at the top and levels of nobility underneath with a “divine right to rule” justification, just like any other empire anywhere else in the world. The religious system centered around “teotl”, a supposed sacred force. A significant spiritual debt had to be repaid to the gods via human sacrifice. Otherwise the gods were expected to get angry and problems like droughts would happen. In a story someone had stolen bones from the underworld and with them made the first humans so that sacrifices were a necessary apology to the gods.
The selected victims often had to do a publicity tour first before they ended up on top of the temple in view of an audience below. The priest would rip out the heart and it would then be placed in a bowl held by a statue of the honored god, and the body would then be thrown down the temple’s stairs. Other “chosen ones” were shot with arrows, skinned, burned or drowned. The rain god Tlaloc would only be pleased with child sacrifices.
This was the official state religion in plain sight. Not hidden in basement floors, not denied, not practiced by otherwise meaningless cranks. We technically can’t call it “satanism” because this was not about pleasing a European Christian idea of “the devil” and fallen angels. Nevertheless we can clearly see the key elements of an organized sadistic/psychopathic cult managed by elites.
We can assume the rulers did not publicize everything they did behind closed doors. We can tell for sure that they had the power to get any sort of “entertainment” they desired.
Assyrian secrets
Around 3000 years ago the Neo-Assyrian Empire became the largest empire that had ever existed up to that point with the biggest army of several hundreds of thousands of troops. We see the usual structure: The king was said to be commanded by Ashur, the national deity. The outer realm outside of Assyria was described as chaotic and uncivilized, a threat to the cosmic order. Obviously a brutal expansion was justified as divine mission. Newly conquered lands needed to be incorporated quickly with a strict and precise administration which has been sarcastically described as German or Prussian in style.
There was a full-blown tradition of skinning (flaying) human beings. Already from the times of Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883–859 BC), the practice is displayed and commemorated in both carvings and official royal edicts. Kings seemed to gloat over the terrible fate they imposed upon their captives, and that flaying seems, in particular, to be the fate meted out to rebel leaders. Neo-Assyrian inscriptions and artwork are unusually explicit in description and depiction of various atrocities.
What is missing is clear evidence for psychopathic rituals like the ones practiced by the Aztecs. Some historians pick a pessimistic view while others try to normalize the past and simply assume the Assyrian elites were pragmatic, rather than thoroughly pathological.
The Bible generally paints the empire as an imperialist aggressor. Still, jewish theology was influenced by it: The Book of Deuteronomy bears a strong resemblance to the loyalty oaths in Assyrian vassal treaties, though with the absolute loyalty to the Assyrian king replaced with absolute loyalty to the Abrahamic god. Some stories in the Bible appear to be at least partly plagiarized; the story of Jonah and the whale resembles earlier stories concerning Shammuramat, and the story of Joseph was likely at least partly inspired by Esarhaddon’s rise to power.
Ashur was fundamentally an imperialistic war god who supported the Assyrian armies. The cult adopted characteristics of southern Mesopotamian gods, identifying Ashur with the Sumerian god Enlil.
The Ešarra temple of Aššur in the city of Aššur was treated as the apex institution. Provinces could be obligated to provide goods/support for offerings and maintenance at Aššur’s temple. Assyrian kings didn’t just rule from wherever the capital was at a given time; sources describe the king traveling to Aššur regularly for rituals.
Elite religious life prominently includes calendar rites where the king is a principal actor—Zaia notes the king’s main duties included participation in public rituals like the akītu and also “regular private” royal rites such as the tākultu (“feeding/banqueting of the gods”). These special rituals aren’t “folk religion”; they’re court-led performances of cosmic order and imperial unity.
The elite cult of Aššur is also an administrative regime. Letters and cases show senior clergy (e.g., šangû, kalû) exercising power over property, personnel, and even quasi-judicial matters, sometimes coordinating with city officials and escalating conflicts to the king as ultimate authority (as both political leader and chief priest).
In other words: Elite worship includes managing the temple as a governing institution, not only praying.
Extended modern rationalisations for an operation like Epstein’s
We know that Epstein had some relationships with powerful American, Russian and Israeli circles. None of this necessarily implicates entire services like the FBI, the CIA, the Mossad or the Russian SVR. Individuals could make decisions to have some sort of cooperation with Epstein and shield all this as much as possible for as log as possible for a variety of reasons.
Epstein may have run an elite membership service for illegal psychopathic activities. He procured the victims, managed logistics and schedules. It seems like an ancient structure ported into modern times.
Members could pick dates and details. A primitive “blackmail” system is a popular idea with many fundamental flaws. Following through with a threat would publicly give the whole game away. There are much better, quieter ways to enforce compliance and punish people.
Professional services have strict guidelines for operational security and Epstein was simply too visible, too singular. The “Epstein files” are full of serious mistakes of people alluding to serious crimes in a childish code language in regular emails. Any professional agency would use covert signalling as invitations to use secure channels of communication. Messages would be split in parts, encrypted and sent over different channels.
Empires are willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish core objectives. Some Israelis may have calculated that Epstein could increase influence over Americans which could then protect Israel from lethal threats posed by the muslim world. A number of child victims would be deemed necessary to protect millions of men, women and children. Israel knows that the Western wold has betrayed jews multiple times, not stopping the Nazis early, not letting jews escape en masse to the middle East because Britain did not want to offend the Arab kingdoms. But this calculation is not just a cut and dry numbers game. Epstein was reckless, a single journalist brought him down and now untold numbers of people in the world is yet again indulging in stupid ideas about a ewish world conspiracy. Any involvement by Israel could have been figured out by thr Russian espionage and then Israel itself becomes compromised.
The Russians have limited themselves to some lame “told you so” comments about the Epstein scandal. They present themselves as the christian moral leadership of the world. What they don’t do is give the public better evidence than what we get with the file dumps. We know that Russia is steeped in human traficking. The regime has many Epsteins and far less public and legal scrutiny than the West.
Beware the fakes and the fake experts about ritualistic abuse and hard-core occultism.
Taxil fakes
The Frenchman Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès (aka Taxil) was raised by Jesuits as a child, but later left Catholicism and published a series of sensationalist fake revelations about the church. He tried unsuccessfully with the Freemasons, returned to the church in 1885 and began condemning Freemasonry in his writings at the end of the 1890s with all sorts of made-up horror stories about devil worship. The first tell-all book that Taxil published was a four-volume history of Freemasonry, which contained fictional eyewitness accounts of its involvement in Satanism. What is striking is that Taxil’s stories became more and more absurd, even though he unnecessarily sabotaged his credibility. Taxil’s better forgeries still seemed relatively plausible, as can be seen from the following example:
Before a man is admitted to the higher degrees, he is blindfolded and taken to a room where a live sheep lies on the floor. The animal’s mouth and feet are secured and it is cleanly shaven so that its skin feels like a human’s to the touch. A man is placed next to the animal, breathing heavily, struggling and fighting imaginary enemies. The candidate is made to understand that the sheep’s body is that of a disloyal Freemason who has betrayed the order’s secrets and must die according to an ancient law, with the candidate being made an executioner as a warning. He is then given a large knife, and after a ceremony he is persuaded to ‘kill’ the traitor, i.e. to repeatedly stab the knife into the sheep’s body, which he believes to be the body of an unknown [Masonic] brother. So every Freemason is a murderer at least in spirit, if not in fact, for sometimes treacherous Freemasons take the place of the beast.
This fake doesn’t involve any supernatural fuss and sounds exciting. The quote he attributed to Albert Pike, an important member of the Scottish Masonic Rite, is also a pretty good forgery:
To you, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this so that you can repeat it to the brothers of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees: The Masonic religion must be practiced by all of us who are initiates of the high degrees in the purity of the Luciferian teaching be preserved.
Taxil used several pseudonyms to better disguise his activities. Strangely, Taxil invented increasingly absurd stories of floating tables and people turning into crocodiles. The Vatican took the bait and awarded Taxil a high order. His fictional source for insider information was “Diana Vaughan”, a dropout from the (non-existent) “Cult of the Palladists” who was said to have been in contact with demons and to have had magical powers. The hoax was exposed in 1896 when the Kölnische Volkszeitung reported on him, and so he had no choice but to shock his audience a year later with the confession that his work was a deliberate hoax and that Diana Vaughan was just his Secretary, and he had only pretended to become a Catholic again. Taxil claimed that he told all the lies just for fun and money, and that the audience pushed him to tell more and more grandiose lies. There is suspicion that Taxil’s works were commissioned, possibly intended to expose the Vatican and critics of the Freemasons. Taxil’s countless lies had long since spread into all sorts of other conspiracy books, were spun with great imagination and often provided with completely different sources.
Modern fakes and liars
Mike Warnke successfully marketed himself in Christian circles as one of the leading experts on Satanism. In 1972, his book “The Satan Seller” was published, in which he recounted how he had once been a Satanic high priest and then found God. He earned millions and became increasingly popular until 1991, when “Cornerstone” magazine exposed him as a fraud.
John Todd claimed to have been a high-ranking Satanist in the Illuminati and a member of Raymond Buckland’s Druid Grand Council, a “confidant of Philippe Rothschild.” He also claimed that the sister of US President Jimmy Carter had taught him further magic.
At 18, he was supposedly already an elite fighter with the Green Berets, although his military records show that he only worked in an office for the Army for one year. A psychological evaluation revealed that he was emotionally unstable, a pathological liar, and a drug user. We also see the influence of classic conspiracy literature in his case. A whole host of other con artists used the same stock phrases for their stories. But the various self-proclaimed defectors from satanic circles contradicted themselves on numerous essential points. All it took was reading a few conspiracy books and watching bad movies to portray oneself as an expert and a defector. Even in the internet age, this tactic worked: The Italian Leo Zagami worked as a DJ, was briefly a member of a Freemason lodge, was expelled, then tried his luck with a few irregular lodges and was possibly also expelled from the O.T.O.
Afterward, he presented himself online as a nobleman and an Illuminati expert. He has no special secrets to offer, only information that can be found on Wikipedia about things like the scandal surrounding the Propaganda Due Freemason lodge. After his departure, he claims to have rejoined the Illuminati in 2008, but as a leading figure in a “good” faction called the “Illuminati Resistance.” In 2009, however, he ended up in a psychiatric hospital in Italy.
In the 1980s, Satanism received renewed attention due to Geraldo Rivera’s extremely successful television documentary “Devil Worship: Exposing Satan’s Underground” and the phenomenon of ritual abuse. In 1980, the book “Michelle Remembers” by Michelle Smith and her psychiatrist and later husband, Lawrence Pazder, was published. Under hypnosis, she claimed to have remembered satanic ritual abuse during her childhood. The book generated considerable controversy, even though the claims it contained could not be verified. Reporters searched extensively for evidence, potential witnesses, and files, but found only things that contradicted or cast doubt on Michelle Smith’s account. Nevertheless, Lawrence Pazder enjoyed considerable recognition as an expert on ritual abuse for a long time. Many very similar books were published, such as “Satan’s Underground” in 1988, whose descriptions…The Christian magazine Cornerstone exposed the claims as false. The true identity of the author, Laurel Rose Wilson, was revealed, along with her psychological problems and various fabrications.
Ritual Abuse
An astonishingly high number of people in the USA and elsewhere in the world have increasingly spoken of having been victims of ritual abuse in childhood. These individuals repeatedly involved people with dissociative identity disorder. Such a disorder arises from severe abuse in early childhood and can take extreme forms, such as splitting into multiple personalities. Medically, it can be stated that such people were most likely subjected to extreme abuse as children, but their “memories” of what happened can be heavily distorted by things they have seen in films or read in books. Hypnosis, in particular, can then evoke a wide variety of fantasies. Neither therapists, nor law enforcement nor criminologists had a coherent concept for how to deal with the statements of such individuals, nor what to make of the phenomenon of ritual abuse in general. European television also broadcast documentaries about possible ritual satanic abuse by cults. German television reporters interviewed women with dissociative identity disorder who claimed to have been trapped in a satanic cult and victims of abuse. The stories sounded like stereotypical images, involving black masses, blood sacrifices, and even the ritual killing of babies. The traumatic experiences, they claimed, had caused the victims to develop dissociative identity disorder, or that the satanists had even deliberately engineered the development of this disorder, effectively programming the victims. Police investigators could not confirm the allegations and also explained that criminological research on the topic is extremely poor because, in Germany, an occult-ritualistic background to a crime is not statistically recorded. A ritual rape would therefore be treated like any other rape, and for this reason, there isn’t even a comprehensive database on satanic crimes. Criminal investigators and prosecutors naturally have difficulty using witness statements from people suffering from dissociative disorders, who see themselves as a collection of different personalities and constantly switch between them. For dangerous criminals, it would theoretically be possible to drug children, take them to secret meeting places using clandestine methods, and confuse them with various tricks so that the victims are never able to give credible, usable statements. At the same time, individuals with dissociative disorders can, of course, fabricate wild claims based on what they have seen on television or picked up on the internet. The role of therapists is viewed critically in the TV reports, as they could, similar to what has been suggested in cases in the USA, unintentionally fuel their patients’ fantasies. In dissociative amnesia, affected individuals can unintentionally mix real memories with false ones and are no longer necessarily able to distinguish between what is true and what is not. Dissociation can be triggered by trauma, but also temporarily by certain chemicals.
Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is the most severe form of dissociation, and brain scans of affected adults can actually detect abnormalities in their brains. It is estimated that up to 3% of the population is affected to varying degrees by DID. In severe cases, changes in brain activity can actually be detected when the person switches back and forth between their individual fragmented personalities.
It is inconceivable that all or most people with severe DID were victims of highly organized satanic groups and then somehow managed to escape. Therefore, if a person with severe DID speaks of ritual Satanism and human sacrifice, this case must be investigated neutrally, objectively, and professionally. One shouldn’t rule out from the outset that the person might have actually experienced something like this, but one must simultaneously consider the possibility that the person has mixed their memories with things they’ve picked up on television or the internet. Today, there are a number of self-proclaimed experts who claim to be able to treat and “deprogram” victims of satanic abuse. Things can quickly go wrong in these situations. It is not uncommon for people with mental health issues to be told things they aren’t true. Some dissociative individuals crave to be heard, and the more outlandish their story, the more attention they receive and the more importance they are accorded. Conspiracy media have spun highly speculative ideas about satanic ritual abuse far beyond mere speculation, culminating in the theory that Satanist families and cults routinely torture and program their children, and that these children later torture and program their own children. Such a scenario is highly unrealistic, as those affected would simply be too unstable and would likely develop all sorts of other disorders as well. The study “Occult Crime: A Law Enforcement Primer” provides a good summary of the subject and fairly examines both sides of the debate, referencing numerous academic publications. It also includes a guide for investigators on what to pay particular attention to when there is strong suspicion of a ritualistic/occult aspect to a crime.
These scenarios are highly unrealistic, as the individuals involved would be far too unstable and would likely develop all sorts of other disorders as well. References:

ARD 2003 “Multiple Personalities – The Therapists’ Delusions?”
The Myth of MK MONARCH
In this context, classic conspiracy media repeatedly mention MK MONARCH, an alleged secret CIA project that supposedly induces dissociative identity disorder in children through severe abuse and programs them according to a specific, supposedly satanic pattern to later work as sex slaves or assassins. MK MONARCH is said to be a sub-project of CIA research on mind control.
The facts show that for decades, the intelligence agency, under various project names like BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, and MKULTRA, researched all sorts of dirty tricks, experimented with drugs, and even created “trained killers” through brainwashing. However, there is no reliable evidence of an MK-MONARCH program in which children are tortured to develop dissociative identity disorders and in which the various split personality fragments are programmed according to a specific pattern.
Virtually all information about MONARCH comes from highly dubious authors of classic conspiracy literature, who cite secret sources, alleged Illuminati defectors, and the statements of individuals with dissociative identity disorder.
On the one hand, conspiracy authors generally lack the qualifications to research organized crime, and on the other hand, they desperately try to stand out with apparent sensationalism and exclusive knowledge in order to gain more attention and make more money.
Author Fritz Springmeier was long considered an authority figure in the scene and significantly shaped the public’s perceptions of satanic brainwashing. In his book “Bloodlines of the Illuminati,” he wrote about 13 families who allegedly control the world and are involved in satanic activities. He provided no evidence for Satanism, but only spoke of anonymous insider sources. Springmeier is now considered discredited, and his popularity has reached an all-time low, but his books on the subject of MONARCH still indirectly influence the conspiracy theorist scene. His co-author was Cisco Wheeler, who claimed to be both a victim of brainwashing and a brainwasher herself, without providing any evidence. The two also referred to the accounts of Cathy O’Brien, who has never been able to present convincing physical proof for her extravagant stories. The highly influential TV actress and host Roseanne Barr gave the opening address at the 2009 “Out of the Darkness and into the Light” conference in Los Angeles, where Cathy O’Brien and other alleged victims of MONARCH and MKULTRA appeared.
The book “The Illuminati Formula to Create an Undetectable Total Mind Control Slave” by Springmeier and Wheeler is considered a standard work of conspiracy literature on the subject, and the ideas it contains have been endlessly copied and embellished by other authors. The authors begin by warning that reading the book is dangerous for people who have themselves been victims of brainwashing. Countless videos on the topic on the internet begin with a similarly dramatic-sounding warning such as “CAUTION! THIS VIDEO CAN TRIGGER VICTIMS OF MIND CONTROL!”
According to the Springmeier book, Josef Mengele, the deranged Nazi scientist, allegedly experimented successfully with programming and was deeply involved in kabb. He practiced alistic magic and was later elevated to the rank of “Grand Master of the Illuminati.” Evidence? Zero. According to Springmeier, the American military special forces unit Delta Force consists almost entirely of “Monarch slaves,” meaning victims of torture programming. In reality, the “1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (Airborne)” is simply a counterterrorism unit, one of many worldwide. Such military units require stable men, not dissociative wrecks. In the conspiracy theorist scene, such unproven tales have been diligently spun. Alleged Monarch victims claim to have been in some elite unit themselves and to have participated in important operations.
Springmeier and Wheeler use a series of complicated-sounding technical terms to feign expertise and then go on to claim that the victims of programming, in turn, have their children programmed, who then have their children programmed, and so on. Springmeier and Wheeler provide no evidence for their mountain of concrete claims. Instead, they repeatedly mention individual pieces of information about MK ULTRA that have long been publicly known.
Cisco Wheeler, whose real name isn’t even definitively established, tells the grandiose story that she served some of the most prominent politicians and members of the nobility as a sex slave. There are a number of similar women with almost identical claims, and typically, they say that they were only able to recall their horrific past through hypnosis and other techniques, as well as with the help of therapists. These therapists, or self-proclaimed experts in “deprogramming victims of mind control,” usually accompany the alleged female victims to public appearances and interviews, contribute to their books, and in some cases, even marry them. There is a danger that dubious men are planting such fantasies in vulnerable women in order to control them and make money off them.
Cisco Wheeler herself largely stayed out of the public eye. Her father’s uncle was supposedly General Earl Grant Wheeler, a descendant of Ulysses Grant, the former US president, which cannot be true. At the age of 40, she was allegedly diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, and it was only then, with Springmeier’s “help,” that she began to remember her past as a mind-control slave of the Illuminati.
It’s possible that people like Springmeier unintentionally fueled fantasies in vulnerable women with dissociative disorders. It’s also possible that people like Springmeier were simply after high book sales and publicity. In the worst-case scenario, some women were deliberately given fantasies by unscrupulous con artists. That would be the ultimate irony: Alleged therapists for brainwashing victims themselves engaging in brainwashing.
It is widely believed in conspiracy theorist circles today that pop stars and various politicians are brainwashed slaves who were programmed in their childhood by MONARCH or the Illuminati through satanic torture. These individuals can supposedly be activated and controlled like robots using secret code phrases. Videos are presented as “evidence,” showing, for example, a tired, seemingly absent-minded Bill Clinton, or a disoriented Britney Spears when she was experiencing mental health problems and taking various medications.
For decades, famous musicians have professed affinity for esoteric and occult ideas. The biggest rock bands have embraced the occultist Aleister Crowley and his teachings, as have today’s pop stars and rappers. The corresponding, and sometimes explicit, symbolism can be found on album covers and in music videos. The cover of the album “Their Satanic Majesties Request” features the Rolling Stones in ridiculous, colorful costumes. Mick Jagger wears a pointed witch’s hat and looks like a schoolboy at a costume ball. The original plan was to depict Jagger naked on a cross. Behind him is a painting of the four elements (earth, water, fire, and air), and inside is a photo collage of the planet Saturn and a labyrinth that is impossible to navigate. This was controversial enough at the time and fueled paranoia about satanic rock and roll. Some people played snippets of songs backward on record players and claimed to hear satanic messages. These days, things aren’t as harmless as on the Stones cover: In the music video for “Monster,” released a few years ago, for example, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, and Jay-Z are seen in a creepy, luxurious mansion, rapping disturbing lyrics while arranging the bodies of dead models on the bed and sofa. Vampires and zombies are shown, someone is holding the severed head of a model, we see a torture chamber, etc. The atmosphere is not harmless like in the video for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” but extremely tense, devoid of humor and irony. This is roughly how one might imagine psychopathic, wealthy Satanists. But a music video is not admissible evidence, and no judge would sign even a single lousy search warrant based on it.
Because the self-proclaimed Satanist Michael Aquino (Church of Satan, later Temple of Set) worked for US military intelligence in the field of psychological warfare, he has repeatedly been identified online as the programmer of the MK MONARCH program. What exactly he was involved in regarding psychological warfare is almost entirely secret, and it may have involved rather mundane tasks. He appeared in public with his wife, who wore clothing and makeup typical of the scene. He himself was accustomed to arranging his eyebrows in the style of devil horns, and this is even visible in his official photos in US military uniform.
He also appeared on well-known TV shows like the Oprah Winfrey Show, where he came across as somewhat sleazy, but businesslike. No criminal activity could ever be proven against him. According to allegations from children, he was involved in sexual abuse at the “Presidio Child Development Center.” During the 1980s and 1990s, there were several unrelated scandals in the US and Europe involving kindergartens and similar institutions where organized sexual abuse by satanic groups allegedly took place. These cases were subsequently dismissed as “satanic panic,” as completely overblown hysteria and witch hunts. More on that in a moment.
In several confirmed, serious abuse scandals in children’s homes in Great Britain, no traces of occultism were found. In the Casa Pia scandal in Portugal, even prominent perpetrators were convicted after years of legal proceedings, but there was apparently no connection to occultism. In the Franklin scandal in Omaha, Nebraska, influential people were accused of abusing children from a home and trafficking them to sex parties across the country. There were no convictions for abuse, only for financial crimes, but the facts are very similar to the Casa Pia case and quite compelling. Children described in their statements being flown to a bizarre event in the woods of Northern California. The reference was to the Bohemian Grove Club, whose influential members from politics, business, and the military attend a complex ritual every summer in which men in druidic robes symbolically sacrifice a doll by burning it on an altar before a stone idol in the shape of an owl.

The Belgium-Holland Connection
In the Dutroux case, the evidence, and especially witness statements, led to a multitude of suspects, locations, and descriptions of the crime, so that Marc Dutroux appeared to be just one of many men in a very large network. Under pressure, the authorities separated Dutroux from all other parts of the investigation and declared him a perpetrator acting on his own initiative and not belonging to any network. The numerous investigative findings and witness statements that went beyond the person of Dutroux were not without further ado. The documents were publicly available. Besides heavily censored summaries, there was the comprehensive book “The X-Dossiers,” which is now almost impossible to find, and leaks of the dossiers circulated, naming the influential defendants in full. An additional complication was that much of the material was in French and Dutch.
The Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics undertook the painstaking task of translating, organizing, and summarizing the most important parts in the study “Beyond the Dutroux Affair.” This study also includes a list of the defendants. Parts of the X-witness testimony deal with Satanism.
Dutroux earned a considerable income early on through the trade in stolen vehicles and young prostitutes in Poland and Slovakia. He owned no fewer than seven houses in Belgium, most of them empty or used only for the logistics of transporting young women and illegal pornographic videos. In such a tiny country, he should have been considered one of the top suspects immediately after the disappearances of children in the 1990s, especially since he had already been convicted of abusing five children. However, Justice Minister Wathelet had a soft spot for Belgian pedophiles, and so Dutroux was released after only three years of an original 13-year sentence. An informant encountered no interest from the police in 1993, even though Dutroux had offered him the equivalent of up to $5,000 for abducting young girls. In 1995, even his own mother contacted the authorities without success. The informant from 1993 reported two years later that Dutroux had built a secret basement room. Later, during a house search, the lead police officer ignored the cries for help from a girl behind a false wall. Dutroux’s second wife, Martin, and the businessman Michel Nihoul spoke of a sex party for extremely influential figures.
https://dutroux-x-dossiers.com/belgian-x-dossiers-of-the-dutroux-affair-censored
Nihoul was convicted, but the authorities showed strangely little interest in his contacts. A number of women contacted the authorities to give statements, and each woman was assigned a code name consisting of an X and a number. It later emerged that some of these women apparently knew each other from the past.
X1 was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, and other witnesses, such as X7, likely also had a dissociative disorder. This brings us back to the typical problem that, on the one hand, these individuals were likely subjected to severe abuse in their childhood, but on the other hand, their statements are not necessarily reliable. The way X1’s interview was conducted, for example, was very chaotic. The interviewer essentially spoke to one of her many fragmented identities. As we have seen in other cases, statements can be distorted by fantasy, suggestions from therapists, or things picked up from books and films. X1, X2, X3, X4, and other witnesses spoke of Satanism, murders, and abuse, some of which was allegedly recorded on video by the perpetrators. A BBC program (Belgium’s X-Files – An Olenka Frenkiel Investigation) showed that the witnesses were indeed credible and possessed knowledge about crime scenes that had never been made public. The authorities obstructed the investigation wherever they could, ignored evidence, hid behind obfuscation tactics, and feigned ignorance. Images included in the dossier show children having sex with animals, there are images that turned out to be stills from horror films, and there are references to fake “snuff films” that appear to depict murders. The question of whether there is any reliable evidence of a significant commercial trade in genuine snuff films is answered differently by various sources. Witnesses occasionally report seeing real snuff films, but are unable to obtain copies or help the authorities acquire a copy as evidence. Of course, some individuals exhibit severe psychopathy, sadism, and pedophilia, and such individuals would have an interest in filming their crimes. Award-winning journalist Nick Davies investigated organized pedophiles in England and the Netherlands and came across a man who claimed to have seen a genuine snuff video. Warwick Spinks told an undercover investigator posing as a pedophile client that he knew people in Amsterdam who produced snuff videos and sold them in strictly limited editions to American customers for $5,000 each. However, Spinks was unable to procure such material. Other investigations in search of snuff videos have also come to nothing. In May 1995, Interpol chief Björn Eriksson stated that approximately 30,000 organized, serious pedophiles were active in Europe.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/nov/27/childprotection.uk
In 2000, Italian police stopped a mail-order business selling extreme pedophilic videos from Russia. One of the product categories offered was snuff films, the authenticity of which is questionable. According to a newspaper report, customers complained that they only received fakes.
http://wwwc.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/0009/28/pedo.html
The child protection organization Werkgroep Morkhoven claimed to have obtained a copy of a genuine snuff film. One of the organization’s members died when her car collided with a bridge pillar. A genuine snuff film has not surfaced. Over 20 witnesses died during the Dutroux investigation, which surely can no longer be a coincidence. There is therefore a conspiracy, but the statements of the women from the X-Dossiers are difficult to assess and must be verified or refuted by investigators with tangible evidence. Unfortunately, the investigators must adhere to the directives of their superiors, who may be under pressure from higher up.
The descriptions from the X-Dossiers read like the sadistic acts of a serial killer like Ed Kemper, and there are also references to Satanism. In 1996, a police raid took place at the home of the satanic group “Abrasax” in Forchies-la-Marché, near the Belgian city of Charleroi. The suspicion was that there might be a connection to the Dutroux case, because when the bodies of two children were found on Dutroux’s property, the body of a man who may have had contact with Abrasax was also discovered. The authorities had obtained mostly insignificant material from Abrasax and simultaneously refused to conduct searches of individuals accused by witnesses in the X dossiers. The accused included members of European high society, business leaders, and high-ranking officials.
For example, Witness X4 spoke of satanic black masses, but these accounts alone do not constitute evidence.
For a perpetrator or group of perpetrators, child sexual abuse may be interpreted as sexual magic. Then, of course, there is organized child abuse, which in known criminal cases had no apparent occult background but was solely intended to satisfy the sadism and urges of the perpetrators.
Ted Gunderson
Ted Gunderson was a Special Agent with the FBI and at one time headed the FBI’s Los Angeles branch. He later published extensively on the subject of Satanism. After leaving the FBI, he worked as a private investigator and had clients such as the lawyers of military doctor Jeffrey R. MacDonald, who was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and two daughters. MacDonald claimed that he had been overpowered and knocked unconscious by several people who shouted something about the drug LSD. His family members had been brutally murdered, while he himself had sustained only minor injuries. As an experienced doctor, he would, of course, have known exactly how to inflict these injuries on himself. Investigators doubted his account because the evidence at the crime scene pointed more toward him. It was suspected that he had lost control during an argument and, after the first killing, also murdered the other family members to eliminate any living witnesses. A copy of Esquire magazine with an article about the Manson Family murders lay in the living room. This may have given him the idea to fabricate a similar story. His lawyer criticized the evidence collection by the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division and drew attention to Helena Stoeckley, the drug-addicted daughter of a lieutenant colonel, who was later said to have associated with Satanists. A jury ultimately found MacDonald guilty at the end of a trial. Author Joe McGinniss wrote a book about the case and described him as a narcissistic sociopath.
Ted Gunderson investigated for $100 an hour on behalf of MacDonald’s lawyers. After just one day, he was reportedly certain of MacDonald’s innocence.
He visited Helena Stoeckley and recorded a statement that was inadmissible in court. She claimed to have been a witch in a sect associated with military officers and that she and her followers had gone to MacDonald’s house to confront him because he was running drug treatment programs that were discriminatory against heroin addicts. The situation spiraled out of control, and the sect members committed the murders. Helena Stoeckley
She claimed to have been merely a witness and, in exchange for her testimony, requested immunity from prosecution. Gunderson had promised her a place in the witness protection program, including a house and a job, lucrative book deals, and offers for a film adaptation of her story. Her testimony was rejected. Gunderson insisted on her credibility. She claimed, for example, that she had accurately described details of the crime scene that were not publicly available, such as a rocking horse with a broken spring. However, crime scene photos showed that no spring was damaged. The men she had named as the murderers had no connection to the crime scene or the crime itself. She later died from causes likely related to her drug addiction, but theoretically, she could also have been deliberately poisoned. MacDonald, she claimed, was convicted because the army and authorities wanted to protect a satanic cult.
Subsequently, Gunderson became increasingly immersed in conspiracy theories and rose to prominence within the scene.
http://www.thejeffreymacdonaldcase.com/html/gunderson-ted-brief-sum.html
Later, Gunderson participated in the investigations of lawyer and former State Senator John DeCamp in the Franklin scandal in Omaha, Nebraska. Gunderson also played a role in the McMartin Kindergarten case.
There has also been recurring harsh criticism of Gunderson from the conspiracy media scene, including accusations that in all the well-known criminal cases he did not truly act in the interests of the victims, but merely played the role of a helpful investigator to sabotage the investigations.
When he was still with the FBI, he had nothing to do with conspiracy theories and defended the FBI’s corrupt programs like COINTELPRO, which were used to combat extremist groups as well as legitimate dissidents.
https://greyfaction.org/ted-gunderson
In 1977, he felt personally threatened by the Black Panthers and the Soviets. It wasn’t until after leaving the FBI that he came into contact with conspiracy literature and worked as a private investigator on various high-profile criminal cases, where he suspected satanic conspiracies. Ironically, the FBI investigated him for his fraudulent investment firm, Dekla International Inc., which he ran with two partners who had criminal records.
He claims his epiphany came from the book “Pawns in the Game” by former British officer William Guy Carr, who liberally drew on old myths and fake documents. Apparently, Gunderson also fell for right-wing revisionist literature, as he attended a conference full of Holocaust deniers and neo-Nazis in 2006.
McMartin Preschool
In California during the 1980s and 1990s, a media frenzy erupted around the court case concerning alleged organized child abuse and Satanism at McMartin Preschool. At the end of the six-year trial, which cost $15 million and involved 400 children testifying, all defendants were acquitted. Some observers and those involved still consider the acquitted individuals guilty, while the mainstream media, which at the time made a huge fuss about Satanism, have since referred to it as an unjustified witch hunt, the so-called “satanic panic.”
Judy Johnson, the mother of one of the preschool children, set the ball rolling with her statement to the police that her son had been abused by her estranged husband and McMartin teacher Ray Buckey. The police sent letters to a total of 200 parents at the preschool, requesting information on whether there were any other indications of abuse.
Judy Johnson appeared to be becoming increasingly mentally unstable, and doctors diagnosed her with paranoid schizophrenia. Theoretically, she could have been secretly drugged to discredit her, but it’s also possible that she was simply severely mentally ill. In 1986, she was found dead in her home, and it was said that she died from the effects of chronic alcoholism. This, too, could theoretically mean that someone secretly poisoned her. A former police officer named Paul Bynum, who had been hired as a private investigator by several parents, died shortly before his scheduled court testimony. He reportedly killed himself with a pistol.
Charles Buckey, the father of a defendant who testified as a witness, worked for Hughes Aircraft, a company allegedly linked to the CIA.
Several hundred children were interviewed at the Children’s Institute International clinic in Los Angeles, run by Kee MacFarlane. She later testified before the US Congress that there was a nationwide conspiracy of pedophiles and Satanists, but could not provide any evidence. The clinic relied on subsidies, creating a conflict of interest. She could have more
Whether consciously or unconsciously, the matter was blown out of proportion to obtain more funding. The interrogation methods used on the children were suggestive and aggressive. The children spoke of sexual abuse, drugs, and satanic rituals by kindergarten teachers and other unknown individuals. A significant portion of the statements were incoherent and unrealistic, but overall, the jury was convinced that sexual abuse had occurred. However, the jury could not definitively attribute specific instances of abuse to any particular perpetrator and therefore had to acquit the children. The search for alleged underground rooms and tunnels where ritual abuse was said to have taken place yielded nothing.
Paul and Shirley Eberle published the book “The Abuse of Innocence: The McMartin Preschool Trial,” which was subsequently used as a reference by the mass media. In 1986, they had already published “The Politics of Child Abuse,” about individuals wrongly accused of child abuse. In the 1970s, the two had published a pornographic magazine called “Finger,” which featured or at least discussed various, sometimes extreme, sexual practices such as BDSM, bestiality, and “golden showers.” Child protection organizations across the US later claimed that “Finger” contained explicit child pornography. The Los Angeles Police Department persistently tried to prosecute the Eberles and stop the publication of “Finger,” but without success. While the magazine did contain photos of people who appeared underage, nothing could be proven against the Eberles. The magazine also featured stories and fictional accounts from readers about incest and pedophilia.
Ultimately, the legal battle surrounding the events at the McMartin preschool was overshadowed, distorted, and influenced by a classic ideological-political conflict between left and right. For decades, the left has championed sexual liberation and fought against an outdated, restrictive sexual morality. While this has indeed led to societal progress, such as the abolition of laws against homosexuality, the social acceptance of transgender people, and a generally more liberal and relaxed attitude towards sexuality, it has unfortunately also attracted dangerous pedophiles who simply wanted to satisfy their sexual needs. Left-wing experiments in communes with free sex for everyone, including children, are long considered to have failed. Children under 14 are not allowed to make sexual decisions, hardly any parents would permit their children to have sex with unrelated adults, and sex with children remains illegal. Furthermore, various left-wing educational pamphlets have been confiscated, according to which children should be educated about the entire sexual spectrum at an extremely early age and even engage in regular sexual acts with other children. According to left-wing ideology, childhood sexuality should essentially prevent children from growing up to be right-wing conservatives or even fascists. Conservatives hold the opposite positions to the left and tend towards a more restrictive stance on sexuality. Conservatives are partly right about this, but they also go way too far, agitating against homosexuals and wishing to turn back the clock and reintroduce laws prohibiting them. According to right-wing conservative thinking, a strict stance on sexuality is meant to prevent children from becoming godless communists later in life.
It’s actually not particularly difficult to examine the topic of sexuality using sound science and common sense, but the ideological battles surrounding this issue constantly create chaos and distortion.
When it comes to pedophilia, studies have shown, on the one hand, that there are some harmless pedophiles who don’t seek sex with children, but on the other hand, there is indeed a huge problem with pedophiles who use manipulation, threats, and violence to make children their sexual partners.
In cases like the McMartin preschool, there appears to have been abuse, but not necessarily to the extent claimed by Kee MacFarlane of the Children’s Institute International, and certainly not with cinematic Satanism. The deaths of Judy Johnson and private investigator Paul Bynum are indeed suspicious, and they could be murders intended to manipulate the investigation. But even then, we have no evidence of a large-scale, nationwide satanic conspiracy.
On a superficial reading, one is naturally tempted to see Kee MacFarlane as a shining heroine solely concerned with the well-being of children.
…and the fight against child abusers. But because of her inadmissible and misleading interrogation methods, the children’s statements were hardly usable, and she had a conflict of interest in raking in millions of dollars in grant money for her clinic. An apparent satanic conspiracy can also garner a great deal of attention and additional money in Christian circles in America. Also worth mentioning is Kee MacFarlane’s lover, the reporter Wayne Satz, who was the first to sensationalize the McMartin case for television. Ten years earlier, he had been a suspect in the Hillside Strangler murders. Prostitutes testified that he favored sadistic and occult sex practices and showed an unusual interest in the bodies from the series of murders.
Presidio Case
In the Satanism/abuse scandal surrounding the Presidio Child Development Center at the US Army Base in San Francisco in the 1980s, among others, Lt. Colonel Michael Aquino, a self-proclaimed Satanist (Church of Satan and Temple of Set) who had worked in psychological warfare, was accused of sexual abuse. A number of children made statements alleging sexual abuse at the daycare center and in various other buildings to which they were taken. The statements became increasingly bizarre and included ritualistic elements. Occult symbols and graffiti were indeed found on the walls of a bunker at the Presidio, behind the building for military intelligence.
A three-year-old girl identified Gary Willard Hambright, as well as Lt. Colonel Michael Aquino and his wife, as perpetrators and recognized Aquino’s house.
http://www.whale.to/b/aq2.html
Aquino stated in a book and on Oprah Winfrey’s television program that this identification by the child was a figment of the imagination, based on a therapist’s suggestion and an unusable statement. However, the statement was sufficient grounds for a judge to issue a search warrant, and so FBI and San Francisco police officers searched Aquino’s home. No charges were filed.
A building next to the Child Center containing files burned down on the day of the “Autumnal Equinox,” considered a major holiday by Satanists. Three weeks later, a fire broke out at the daycare center. The BATF, which deals with, among other things, alcohol smuggling, weapons, and explosives, declared after an investigation that both fires were arson.
Medical examinations revealed physical signs of sexual abuse on several children. The Army and the relevant authorities acted very slowly. In more than 30 of the 300 such facilities operated by the Army, there had been allegations of sexual abuse since 1984.
https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/16/us/army-will-close-child-care-center.html
The FBI, the Army, and prosecutors allegedly wanted to prevent too many absurd statements from the children being dismissed, which would have caused the trial to fail. The parents, their lawyers, and some media outlets suspected a widespread cover-up. Several accused individuals were never charged; the charges against Gary Willard Hambright were dropped, then he was charged again, albeit on a significantly smaller scale. In many respects, the investigation was sluggish or strangely incompetent. Army Criminal Investigative Special Agent Marc Remson didn’t bother to videotape the main child witness’s testimony, and he had no prior experience with witnesses younger than eight years old. The very children with the most obvious physical evidence were not included in the charges against Hambright. Some of the children had tested positive for the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia, but the wrong samples (cultures) were taken at the Letterman Army Medical Center, rendering the evidence inadmissible. New samples were rejected. Several of the children’s statements were dismissed, leaving nothing to support the charges against Hambright. The authorities explained that they lacked experience with child abuse and that too few investigative standards were in place, especially when there were statements about ritualistic acts. This cannot be entirely dismissed, but the way the case unfolded reeked of a deliberate cover-up for many. What became particularly clear was that statements from young children carry almost no weight in court and that nearly any description of ritualistic aspects leads to statements being dismissed and charges being dropped. Consequently, one could conclude that pedophilic Satanists can, in principle, exploit loopholes in the bureaucratic system by selecting young victims and giving the abuse a ritualistic character. The use of small doses of alcohol, medication, or drugs could also be very dangerous.
Nevertheless, the question remains why organized pedophile Satanists specifically choose children in daycare centers as their victims, since abuse cannot remain undetected indefinitely, and even subsequent cover-ups by the authorities do not ensure that the perpetrators remain unknown. One would expect a highly professional, far-reaching, and all-powerful Satanic conspiracy to abduct children or at least seek victims who are orphans or whose parents have lost custody.
The probability is almost 100% that children from the Presidio daycare center were sexually abused. The open question is whether Satanists were involved and whether they were sophisticated Satanists or just common criminals who painted a few pentagrams and put on a robe because it made them feel more important.
Lt. Colonel Aquino consistently maintained his innocence, claiming he was the victim of vicious Christian fanatics and con artists. Nevertheless, the internet is rife with articles and theories about him, and the days when he could appear on television without a care in the world are long gone. He undoubtedly received numerous threatening letters and phone calls and could no longer move about in public as freely as before. We also find no evidence in the Presidio scandal that he was involved in brainwashing as part of a MONARCH program.
There were many other cases worldwide involving organized child abuse in daycare centers, preschools, and schools, all plagued by similar problems to the McMartin and Presidio cases. The media, authorities, and many “experts” dismissed the entire issue as “satanic panic.”
In the 2010s, there was an explosion of court cases in the UK concerning long-past, organized abuse cases. The most blatant of these cases involved television star Jimmy Savile, a friend of Prince Charles who had received a title of nobility. Other cases revolved around victims in schools and children’s homes. The late former Prime Minister Edward Heath also posthumously came under suspicion, and there were extensive investigations because several witnesses came forward with statements. In each case, there were clear indications that investigations had been repeatedly hampered and halted. At one of the institutions in question, buried bones were reportedly found, but after a change of lead investigator, it was stated that no significant discoveries had been made. There were isolated statements about ritualistic activities by Savile, but nothing that could be followed up on.
Cathy O’Brien
When an ordinary conspiracy ideologist speaks of “mind control,” he is often referring to an unproven, unconfirmed project called MONARCH, in which children are allegedly tortured and programmed according to a sophisticated satanic system. These ideas essentially go back to the con artist Fritz Springmeier and books like Cathy O’Brien’s. Hardly any book about “ritual abuse” is mentioned and quoted as often as “Tranceformation of America” by Cathy O’Brien and Mark Phillips. Even Hollywood actress Roseanne Barr does her best to promote O’Brien and considers herself well-informed. It’s hard to find a self-proclaimed expert on ritual abuse who doesn’t refer to O’Brien. For example, O’Brien claimed that she was raped as a “programmed sex slave” by Hillary Clinton. Every investigator, every prosecutor and every professional journalist would ask when and where this happened, what witnesses might be able to confirm it, whether there are any photos that could even remotely corroborate O’Brien’s statement, whether there are payment receipts or otherwise There are records that would show that O’Brien was with the Clintons at the specified times and locations. Without proper evidence, the statement is practically unusable. This is not a mockery of O’Brien, just the reality. For comparison: In the case of the pedo network in Omaha, Nebraska, there was enough usable witness statements and independent evidence to conduct professional investigations under John DeCamp. Because of these professional investigations, influential circles felt compelled to kill witnesses, use influential connections and carry out intimidation. In the Jeffrey Epstein case, there is a whole series of convincing, mutually confirming witness statements and a lot of independent evidence such as photos, passenger lists and airline ticket bookings, etc. That’s why investigations can be carried out here and that’s why we see established circles taking massive countermeasures . Because the Omaha case and the Epstein case are convincing, this does not mean that the O’Brien case is automatically convincing or that O’Brien’s accounts are usable.
Mark Phillips, the manipulator
Mark Phillips, Cathy O’Brien’s co-author (and likely whisperer), writes in the foreword to the book Tranceformation of America that he worked as a subcontractor for the US Department of Defense and came into contact with “mind control” – Research. Phillips can only prove that he saw the same publicly known and limited information about MKULTRA that everyone else interested in the subject has seen. He claims to have “freed” Cathy O’Brien and restored her to more or less health. He wants to be celebrated as a hero without providing any evidence. Phillips talks about a broken, depressing home: that he feared his alcoholic father, that he was a bad student with attention deficit, severe stuttering and a lack of friends. Only when he was angry, or alone in the forest talking or singing to the trees, could he speak clearly. His mother suffered severe head trauma in a riding accident. As a young adult, he worked and read various books at a small university, with no prospect of graduating or receiving an academic title. Somehow he managed to earn money working with researchers, NASA and psychiatric research hospitals. How A kind of James Bond, he jetted around the world to handle big deals, exchange ideas with agents and even make film-worthy contacts with the mafia in Las Vegas. His personal relationships were a disaster and he desperately wanted to become a “control freak”. Later he actually managed to control Cathy O’Brien. Phillips tells a grandiose story about how he discovered the big conspiracy with the help of (of course unspecified) high-ranking secret service officials. Evidence? Zero. Any conspiracy theorist can come up with a story like that. When he first met Cathy, he appeared to him as “young, pretty, very stupid and dressed like a prostitute”. He “played God” and packed Cathy and her eight-year-old daughter into an apartment to save them from evil conspirators. The two seemed as if they were “remote from reality”. Using his knowledge of “mind control,” including alleged research by Heinrich Himmler on “multigenerational Satanists,” he could have improvised and used specific, appropriate trigger terms to manipulate Cathy and her daughter. He suggested that she divorce her husband and work for him, Phillips, as an assistant. Phillips also divorced his own wife so he could live with the pretty Cathy. Because of this rescue operation, Phillips essentially went bankrupt. All the nice money that he supposedly had because of his various pompous contacts was gone because of the big conspiracy. He subsequently “deprogrammed” and saved Cathy. But before he achieved this great rescue, he was broke, extremely angry, had “unbearable emotional headaches,” and suffered from depression and sleep disorders. He was “slowly going crazy.” It sounds like a cheesy Hollywood hero story. Was it during this phase that he came up with the plan to take on the role of a “mind control” expert and act this role? Did he manipulate Cathy and her daughter so that they played the appropriate roles in this fantasy world?
The brainwashing
They initially lived on welfare in Alaska for months. He used this time to “de-program” Cathy, meaning to free her from the effects of CIA brainwashing. He held “sessions” with Cathy “day and night,” “seven days a week.” It sounds like a kind of exorcism, a casting out of devils. Did he really de-program her, or did he rather program her to play the role he intended for her? He describes how he and Cathy essentially subjected themselves to sleep deprivation. He talked to her over and over again in this state until she “remembered” the satanic abuse or told the stories Phillips wanted to hear. O’Brien is convinced that he has a severe dissociative disorder. It used to be called multiple personality disorder, but it’s less about different personalities that the sufferer can switch between and more about different roles. Severely dissociative individuals may have severely damaged memories, which can result in the mixing of real memories with fantasy or even completely false pseudo-memories. The person affected can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is not. Was Phillips just a minor conspiracy theorist who had read about MKULTRA and wanted to pursue a career as a writer himself? Did he really think he was helping Cathy while inadvertently brainwashing her? Supposedly because of his wealth of mind control experience, he would have had no major problems applying the correct “formula” to reassemble Cathy’s “fragmented” mind. This formula consisted largely of “hypnotherapy” although he had no formal qualifications. He considers himself an extremely talented, skilled expert in hypnosis. Hypnotherapy usually only consists of a few sessions that are as relaxed as possible. Phillips apparently worked on his wife for months, “day and night.” It cannot be said whether he also gave her any drugs. He could be trusted. Let’s remember how he admitted to wanting to become a “control freak.” He “learned how to control Cathy’s trance states.” A textbook for psychotherapists on hypnosis warns:
In addition, hypnotic regression can cause harm by implanting false memories in the person affected, which arise from the therapist’s ideas and whose acceptance by the client can have negative consequences for the client and those around them. A large number of experimental and clinical studies have shown that Hyp nose acquired actual memories cannot be reliably distinguished from pseudo-memories generated in the hypnotic process. (This phenomenon was already known to Hippolyte Bernheim as “retroactive hallucination”.)
– Hans-Christian Kossak: Hypnosis. – Textbook for psychotherapists and doctors.
It wasn’t the CIA, it was Phillips who brainwashed Cathy:
I remained constantly vigilant to protect Cathy’s physical and psychological safety from all external influences. […] Cathy was not allowed to express emotions during the procedure. […] Cathy was not allowed to read books, newspapers or magazines, watch television or talk to [her daughter] Kelly about any memories. […] All of Cathy’s behavioral patterns and social habits were put to the test through logical discussions between us. All previous behavioral patterns, including everyday routines, were placed on new schedules or stopped completely.
The CIA would have been proud of the stunt Phillips pulled on Cathy. It is reminiscent of an exorcism or the film “The Exorcist” where a possessed girl is processed by the heroic priests until the demon is driven out of her and the girl is freed. It is well known that set pieces from films with occult scripts ended up in the books of impostors and in the “memories” of alleged victims of ritual abuse. Phillips also apparently didn’t allow her to take her daughter to school alone, where she could have talked to other people without being disturbed. He talks about how he and Cathy regularly brought their daughter to school and picked them up. What means did he use to ensure that Cathy followed his instructions? Psychological pressure? Verbal violence? Threats of violence? Did she break these rules every now and then? Was he punishing them for these rule violations? It sounds like he gave the same “treatment” to his asthmatic daughter. During these brainwashing sessions, Phillips fell in love with Cathy. However, his health went downhill: dramatic weight loss, post-traumatic stress reactions, “incredible stomach pains,” vomiting and diarrhea. He took tons of Maalox tablets, which should explicitly not be taken long-term and especially not for chronic diarrhea or weight loss. It says about the medication:
If you have impaired kidney function, you may experience an increase in aluminum and magnesium in your blood. Long-term use in high doses can lead to impairment of brain function (encephalopathy) with speech difficulties, muscle twitching and memory problems, dementia or a certain form of anemia (microcytic anemia), or worsening of bone softening caused by dialysis.
Did he abuse other substances? Stimulants like ephedrine perhaps to keep you awake during the endless meetings and “discussions” day and night? Exactly such substances lead to severe weight loss, vomiting, stomach pain, stress reactions and even psychotic states or paranoid persecution mania. Did he give Cathy sedatives or drugs to achieve the desired trance states and make her compliant? Questions about questions. Cathy’s daughter was diagnosed by therapists as “suicidal” and dangerous to the community. Mark and Cathy were unemployed and tried with countless letters to authorities and politicians to get Cathy and her daughter officially recognized as CIA mind control victims entitled to compensation or special social benefits. Actual, officially recognized victims of MKULTRA, such as Frank Olson’s family, were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation.
Cathy’s implausible story
Only after Phillips extensively explains his descriptions in the first 80 pages of the book is Cathy allowed to have her say. Her daughter ended up in state care. What follows is a series of wild stories that have been endlessly quoted but not verified by various authors on the subject of ritual abuse to this day. Mind you, before Phillips treated her with endless “therapy sessions,” she had no “memories” whatsoever of any of these alleged past events. According to her, there were a striking number of criminal, dysfunctional people with crazy connections in her family environment. The story seems completely exaggerated and far-fetched:
- Her mother is said to have already been a victim of “multigenerational” abuse including incest
- Her father was a pedophile who rented her out to other government pedos. Of course de too r father a victim of multigenerational abuse and the result of an incestuous relationship.
- Cathy’s father’s mother was a prostitute
- Cathy’s father’s siblings were all, without exception, victims of occult sex abuse.
- Cathy’s mother’s family was also completely dysfunctional. Both of Cathy’s mother’s parents were also pedos and abused all of their children, who in turn abused Cathy.
- Cathy’s uncle Bob would have recruited Cathy’s father for the US government’s “MONARCH” program. The father would have completed a two-week course at Harvard University.
- Cathy has two sisters and four brothers, all of whom are of course “under mind control”.
Who is stupid enough to believe this nonsense? Is there even a single relative of Cathy’s who is halfway normal? A distant cousin perhaps who, for once, isn’t a multigenerational mind control pedo? The story would sound much more convincing if only Cathy’s father had been presented as a pedo conspirator with connections and not the entire clan. But then a problem would have arisen for the storyteller Phillips: only he can be the hero who saves Cathy. If several of Cathy’s relatives were normal, these relatives could theoretically have rescued her, taken her abroad and hidden her. These normal relatives could then have somehow cooperated with Phillips and publicly confirmed all the accounts. But no, it was obvious for Phillips to present the entire clan as conspirators in his story. Cathy was rented out for sex by her pimp father to God and the world: family members, friends, local mafiosi, Freemasons, Satanists, strangers and police officers. And finally to the political celebrities. It all sounds like a third-rate shock novel by an amateur author. The rest of the book consists of accounts of alleged abuse by celebrities, a who’s who of names of high interest in the conspiracy theorist scene: Dick Cheney, Senator Byrd, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and so on and so forth so on. The people mentioned are certainly very dangerous, but a book like O’Brien’s is not a threat to the establishment. On the contrary; they simply let O’Brien and similar authors do their thing. Some people believe everything in conspiracy books. However, the vast majority of citizens see how implausible and weird the conspiracy literature is and turn away. Page after page after page of O’ Brien’s book sounds exactly like the previous pages and that makes reading it a stupid and boring affair. Cathy basically thinks she is the greatest martyr in human history. No one can keep up with her; neither Nelson Mandela, nor Jesus, nor the most unlucky Gulag inmate. An increase is no longer possible. Her (alleged) martyrdom is complete. No one can ever write a book about ritual abuse with more high-profile atrocity stories in it. Even the most gullible conspiracy theorists would wave it off because their pain threshold for nonsense is exceeded. Phillips and Cathy claim to be the undisputed royal couple of all the “mind control” victims around the world. Cathy’s actual “handler”, Mark Phillips, sees himself as an American patriot who wants to resist the “New World Order” with armed force if necessary.
