...from FILE 18, an electronic newsletter by and for police officers.

WARNING:  It's pretty graphic in describing the symptoms and consequences of
ritual abuse.  It's also very heavily fundamentally Christian-oriented, so
take this into account when reviewing this material...

Here there be SPOILERS...

2.    THE ADULT SURVIVOR OF RITUAL ABUSE

[The  following  is "A Personal Perspective"  by a counselor  who  has  been
working  with  adult survivors who were ritually abused as  children.    The
Editor asked her to put more pertinent observations down in writing so  that
they could be shared with FILE 18  NEWSLETTER readers.  This is not intended
to  be  an  exhaustive  study  of ritualized  abuse  cases,   but  rather  a
continuation  of  training  material  to keep the 'worst  case  scenario  of
satanic crimes' before you.]
 
A  definition  of  the ADULT SURVIVOR is one who was a.)   born  into  satan
worship  or black witchcraft;   b.)  reared as a child (obtained by whatever
means)   by  a coven during the formative ages of 0-6   yrs.;   or,  c.)   a
voluntary member of a coven.
 
When screening persons as potential survivors,  consider the following lists
of  characteristics.    Two or more should be verifiable in  the  legitimate
adult survivor:   a.)  migraine headaches,  b.) abdominal pain,  c.)  eating
disorders,  d.) overweight,  e.) liver or adrenal malfunctions,  f.) vaginal
and/or rectal scarring,   g.)  collapsed rectal wall,   h.)  digestive tract
irregularity,    i.)  missing uterus or sterilized,   j.)   blood  chemistry
imbalance,   k.)  right-side epilepsy,  l.)  urinary tract invections,   m.)
nipples missing,   or, n.)  preference for soft drinks.   In addition to the
physical characteristics, there are also psychological characteristics:  a.)
fear,  b.) sexual or chemical dependency,   c.)  low self-esteem,  d.) guilt
and/or depression,   e.)  anger or hatred,   f.)  suicidal tendencies,   g.)
self-injury or mutilation,  h.) blackouts,  i.) childhood amnesia,  j.) high
intelligence level,   k.) an over-achiever,  l.)  black-and-white (bi-polar)
thinking,    m.)  god  phobic,    n.)   seeming  multiple  personalities  or
disassociative dysfunction disorder,  or, o.) fixation with or references to
satan or demons.
 
The  perpetrators  leave  tell-tale evidence on the body of  the  ritualized
abuse  victim.   These signs last for a lifetime and can be pertinent to the
knowledgeabe investigator.  They include:  a.)  Brands or Tattoos of satanic
or  coven  symbols (found inside the hairlines,   on the  neck/shoulder,  on
hands/palms/fingers, on back/buttocks, on breasts/chest, or, inside the lips
of  the vagina/on the genitals);   b.)  Scars (from rope burns on wrists  or
abdomen,  from cuts inside the thighs or on the sides of the neck,  and from
scourge  or  whip marks on back/buttocks and/or upper backside  of  thighs);
and,  c.)  Missing Digits (usually a little finger,  often on the left hand,
or,   a  left-hand ring finger at the center knuckle,  or missing toes,   or
missing  toes and fingers due to thin wire restraints used to immobilize the
person during rituals.)
 
Bizarre as this may sound,  those in mental health, counseling,  or pastoral
counseling  fields  must confront multiple personalities manifesting  in  an
individual  adult survivor.   There may be some confusion with the  Multiple
Personality Disorder and how it relates to the survivor.   In some cases you
have the following:  a.) multiple personalities,  b.)  demons manifesting as
multiple personalities  (Editor's Note:   Rebecca Brown,  M. D.,  in her new
book  PREPARE FOR WAR,  Chick Publications,  maintains that every  "multiple
personality" manifested in a ritualized abuse survivor is, in fact, a demon.
The  very  purpose for the bizarre rituals,  she says,  is to  implant  such
entities into the abuse victim.   She cautions therapists and counselors not
to  overlook this fact or fail to deal with it on an  appropriate  spiritual
basis.),  c.) personalities with one or more (not all) being possessed,  d.)
personalities with one or more being a practicing Christian (which is not to
be  confused  with  a  'religious spirit'),    or,   e.)   an  alter-ego  or
disassociative disorder.
 
Total control of the abused person is the ultimate desired objective of  the
perpetrators.    They utilize brainwashing and indoctrination methods  which
are  'state-of-the-art.'   Use of similar therapeutic techniques by a  well-
meaning clinician can add to the problems the survivor is experiencing.
 
A.   The E.E.G.   or similar electro-stimuli may be attached to the head  or
other  nerve  endings  for the purpose of breaking  the  will,   encouraging
obedience,  layering  personalities,   and insuring silence  through  threat
enforcement.

B.   Ingestion of animal or human urine, feces, blood,  orgasmic secretions,
or flesh--often mixed with wine or mind-altering drugs--  causes degradation
of the person, lessens his/her inhibitions, causes obedience, and supposedly
increases spiritual power if done in a ritual.

C.   Isolation in closets,  basements,   caskets (with or without a corpse),
cages,  isolation houses,  or any dark,  restraining area tends to break the
will, foster obedience, and reinforce a 'no-absolutes' condition (often they
are isolated even when they perform willingly.)

D.  Drugs such as belladonna, heroin, LSD, methamphetimines,  and others are
applied  to  lessen inhibitions,  cause obedience,  create confusion and  an
inability  to  correctly discern reality,  and foster a dependency upon  the
coven for regular drug supplies.

E.   Forced Participation in Sexual Revels,  both hetero-  and homosexual in
nature,   including all possible combinations of perversions with  children,
adults, and animals, creates humiliation, degradation, sexual gratification,
destroys  normal  bonding,   and supposedly increases spiritual  power,  and
appeases the coven's god(s).

F.    Starvation  and protein deprivation quickly foster  obedience,   cause
confusion,   and make the mind more susceptible to outside  suggestions  and
control.

G.    Forced  Participation in Ritual Sacrifices,  including  murder  and/or
mutilation of children/adults/animals, may occur in mock rituals or be real.
These  snare the victim in a web of guilt,  instill the fear that they might
be the next sacrificial victim, degrade, traumatize, and gain control.

H.  Grave Robbery from cemetaries, mausoleums, graves, etc., occur to obtain
specific  body  parts or bones for rituals,  to obtain valuables,  to  prove
commaraderie within the group,  to cast spells and gain spiritual power,  or
to  work "magick."    An initiate may be required to spend a 24  hr.  period
buried in a grave with a corpse or have sex with a corpse.   This  degrades,
produces guilt,  traumatizes,  is used to punish disobedience,  or can be  a
'test of strength or worthiness to be a coven member.'

I.   Bonding to a 'Friend' is used if the victim is resistant,  inhibited or
fearful.   The 'friend' is there to encourage or rescue, gaining trust,  and
exercising coercion to get compliance.   If that tactic fails,  the 'friend'
does the old 'pull the rug out from under them'  technique and turns on  the
victim,  thus causing distrust,  confusion,  futility,  self-reliance,   and
contributing to the atmosphere of 'no-absolutes.'

J.   Pins and Needles are inserted into the vagina, penis,  rectum or inside
the  foreskin  of  the penis.   Other targets for these fine  pins  are  the
eyelids, ears, eardrums, nose, or other nerve endings.  E.E.G., E.K.G.,  and
electro-oriental-style  acupuncture-type  needles  are  used,   as  well  as
hypodermic or transfusion-type needles.  Pain caused by insertion is used to
punish.   The needles have utilitarian uses,  too,  such as:   injections of
drugs or truth serum, transfusions, mock operations, or actual operations in
the drugged state,  including sterilizations, abortions, and abortion ritual
sacrifices.    Pins  and  needles seem to be used  to  layer  personalities,
program  future  dates and actions,  and deal with names (to  remember,   to
forget, to kill later.)

K.    Kidnappings  of babies-through-adults (especially of Christians)   are
accomplished  with forced participation of the abuse victims.   Kidnaps  are
done for sales, slavery, indoctrination, and human sacrifices (either by the
home  group  or  exported to other groups.)   The kidnaps are  for  whoever,
whenever  commanded,  and however they can be accomplished.   The  kidnapped
victim is held in a safe place or holding house until the coven or  procurer
picks  him/her  up.   Often the abuse survivor is forced to  'babysit'   the
kidnap  victim...this  causes  a lot of trauma and guilt because  the  abuse
survivor  knows  the  fate of the kidnapped person.   This  scenario  forces
obedience,  guilt,  and humiliation,  but brings coven praise and more power
within the coven.

L.    A  "Black  Hole Experience"   seems common to  most  ritualized  abuse
survivors  in one form or another.   It may be used to enforce discipline or
punish.  Generally, the "Black Hole Experience" consists of: being suspended
head first into a dark pit which contains human/animal parts,  blood,  rats,
snakes,  spiders,  etc.  This lasts for up to 24 hours or even longer.   The
more severe the need for punishment or control, the worse the experience is.
Sometimes  the  pit is filled with the mutilated body parts and blood  of  a
close friend of the survivor, perhaps someone who the survivor was forced to
help  kill.   Left in this putrefying "stuff"  for 24  hrs.  up to 2  weeks,
without food, in total darkness...the "Black Hole"  is often one of the most
difficult for the survivor to work through.

M.   The Re-Birth Ritual (not to be confused with the Black Hole Experience)
is usually performed during childhood, but can be done for adults.  A  large
animal  (cow)   or  human's abdominal cavity is opened.    The  initiate  is
inserted  inside the cavity and left until the end of the ritual,  at  which
time he/she is pulled out as a form of 'birthing from death.'   The initiate
is usually covered by the entrails and blood of the 'birth host' and wallows
around  until pulled out by the High Priest.   This is satan's equivalent of
the Christian 'born again' experience.

N.    Marriage  to the Beast/Satan Ceremonies are actual wedding  ceremonies
which include conjured demons and satan himself present.  Satan may manifest
himself through the High Priest, a black man, in some 'form', or as himself.
In whichever form, there is a sexual act which consumates the marriage.  The
sex  act  is  very  painful and usually this ceremony occurs  on  the  fifth
birthday of the female child victim.  This child is usually being groomed as
a High Priestess (Bride of Satan)  and will rule the coven at a future time.
A  Bride of Satan may not actively participate in coven worship  for  years,
but  at the time the High Priest is dying,  he must pass his powe on to  his
successor, or soul-mate.

O.    Brainwashing Techniques often include certain letters of the alphabet,
numbers  and seemingly nonsensical rhymes.   The most obvious letter is  "F"
because it is the sixth letter of the alphabet.   The numbers "6"  or "666",
the  Biblical number of the Beast,  are important.   Numbers  most  commonly
used  are multiples of "6";  or,  "7"  for perfection;  "9",  the number  of
Christ;   "13"  for luck;  or "18"  which is the sum of the  numbers  "666".
Birthdates and dates set in the future may "key"  the survivor to return  to
the coven or commit a predetermined act.  Sing-songs, backward writings, and
rhymes are memory programming "keys" to control future behavior.
 
The adult survivor may have anxiety attacks or experience panic when certain
familiar smells or activities are encountered.  These things trigger painful
and disturbing memories.   Such things as digging in the dirt,  sawing wood,
and using gardening utensils may be triggers.   Kitchen smells,  sights,  or
sounds often bring back the past.   Animals which were used in rituals or as
instruments of abuse include dogs (esp.  Dobermans, Rottweilers,  Pit Bulls,
and Shepherds),  wolves, cats, goats, pigs, owls, pigeons, sparrows,  hawks,
blackbirds,   and  doves.    Obviously,   Black  Widow  and  other  spiders,
cockroaches,  rats,  mice,  snakes and lizards may hold bad connotations for
the survivor.   Candles of various colors, mortuaries, mausoleums,  closets,
basements,  indoor theaters,  churches,  hospitals,  or any dark,  isolated,
restraining place may hold dark fears,  too.  Unfortunately,  satanists come
in all shapes and sizes;  doctors, nurses, policemen, clergymen, judges, and
other professionals may create panic.
 
It  is important to note that the First Amendment of the U.S.   Constitution
protects  the right to worship freely.   The statements in this  perspective
are  not  to offend or condemn anyone's beliefs or choice of worship.    The
only  intent is to expose the criminal activity involved in some,  not  all,
worship of satan or other dieties.
 
3.    RED HERRING IN NEBRASKA.

Det.  W.  E.  Callister,  McCook PD's Major Crimes Team,  came across a case
which  tested  his discernment and intuitive judgement.   In  September,   a
female runaway rolled into McCook on the bus and proceeded to tell a tale so
bizarre  that  it could have been believable!    After  thorough  background
checking,   Callister  and  his co-workers broke the story  of  Sandra  Dawn
Hilbert,  WFA 23,  4-28-64.   She had posed as Anastasia Illyanna Novischik,
15,   a   runaway from Denver due to her pending initiation into  a  satanic
ritual  group.    She called the National Runaway Hotline from McCook,   was
picked  up,   and initially handled as an abandoned child,  then  an  abused
child.   When the facts became known,   Sandra AKA Anastasia was booked  for
felony criminal mischief, false reporting, and criminal impersonation.
 
Det.   Callister  wanted  to warn other departments  about  this  convincing
prevaricator  who,  it seems,  is an aspiring author.   She had  handwritten
notes  among  her  belongings  which told a story  in  novel  form  about  a
character named Anastasia.   Perhaps she was 'living her story'  in order to
get  a first-hand perspective.   However,  the chilling and detailed account
she  told to investigators while pretending to be Anastasia  was  consistent
with many of the reports we have printed about actual satanic and witchcraft
rituals.   She described grisly sacrifices of babies, cannibalism,  sex with
children,  smearing and drinking blood,  and anointing with urine and  feces
during adult-child satanic rituals.  What investigator wouldn't prick up his
hears  when  hearing statements such as these?   But Callister  finally  saw
through the charade and exposed the lies.
 
If  you have been perplexed with similar cases,  Det.  Callister can  supply
more  details and photos.   Think of the 'crow'  he and his department would
have  had  to eat if they had made premature public  statements  about  this
case.   We do not know if this contrived story was Sandra's alone, or if she
was  a  cleverly-rehearsed  plant to destroy the credibility  of  the  local
authorities.  As in all cult/occult crime cases,  it is better to err on the
conservative side than to be too publicly liberal with information.  (Refer:
McCook PD Case #870651)
