A Consolidation of SRA and False Memory Data by James
Quan
"The purpose of this paper is to consolidate and present some of the major
data for those skeptical of the existence of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) and to
suggest more mutual affirmation in pursuit of the truth in this area. This
paper, nonetheless, attempts to critically examine both sides of the debate,
namely: critical thinking and belief, 'no official' evidence, the context of
evidence, actual corroborative evidence (including a map of the McMartin
Preschool tunnels), false memory, the sharp rise in MPD/DID diagnoses, and
alternate explanations for the profound similarities in child and adult
accounts. In light of the semantic difficulties inherent in 'memories' it
is important to avoid overgeneralizing on either side, and yet to fully accept
that for which both memory and corroboration exists."

Conviction List: Ritual Child Abuse
"A 1993 survey of the American Bar Association's Center on Children and
Family Law determined that 26 percent of prosecutors nationwide have handled
cases involving 'ritualistic or sexual abuse.' The ritualistic aspects of
the crimes often are not presented in court but are clearly indicated in the
victims' accounts."

"Gothic is a way of dressing, a taste in music, a style. But in

neo-Nazism and Satanism meet." Many North American survivors of
criminal occult ritual abuse have reported having been abused in Aryan, White
Supremacist, and/or Nazi rituals.

Police uncover global cannibal network
The Guardian, London, 1/7/04.
"New evidence in the trial of Meiwes, 42, accused of killing and eating a
man he met on the Internet, shed light on a global network that links maneaters
from Austria to America, the police told the court...'There are several hundred
people with cannibalistic tendencies in Germany alone, and many thousands around
the world,' said Rudolph Egg, a criminologist in the German central criminal
service." Many North American survivors of criminal occult ritual abuse have reported that they
witnessed and/or were forced to participate in ritualistic cannibalism of murder victims.

Sitting with the Shattered Soul by Kathy Steele, MN, CS
Article published in Pilgrimage: Journal of Psychotherapy and Personal
Exploration, 1989, Vol. 15, No. 6, 19-25; reprinted in Abuse Today:
International Newsjournal of Abuse, Survivorship and Therapy, 1991, Vol. 1,
No. 1.
"None of us has been particularly prepared for confronting such severe
abuse. Work with Holocaust survivors and with other victims of political
torture and war is the closest we've come, but those collective personal
tragedies emerge out of a socio-political context. That is the evil perpetrated
by impersonal strangers. What if the context is the family? What if
the perpetrators are fathers, mothers, uncles, brothers, the people who are
supposed to love and nurture us, protect us? What if the rock that is our
only sanctuary crushes us? As these new dimensions of evil and suffering,
of meaninglessness and aloneness and annihilation splatter themselves over our
comfortable offices, we struggle anew with old existential questions. And
our own unhealed woundedness, whatever it may be, is instantly and deeply
touched. We hear our deepest, icy fears played out in these stories, and
we see the devastation right before us. What price is survival worth, we
ask? When they ask us, from their place of deepest despair, "Why
should I live?", our answer must be ready, and must not be glib. We
must KNOW; this is an answer that must come not from the mind, but from the
soul." Ms. Steele practices at Metropolitan Psychotherapy Associates
in Atlanta, GA.

The Ultimate Evil: The
Truth about the Cult Murders: Son of Sam and Beyond by Maury Terry
Barnes & Noble, 2004. Hardback. ISBN
0760761191
Barnes & Noble Review:
"On August 10, 1977, the NYPD arrested David Berkowitz for the 'Son
of Sam' murders that had terrorized New York City for more than 13 months.
Berkowitz confessed to being a lone murderer — one who had carried out eight
senseless shooting with a .44 caliber Bulldog revolver. The case was officially
closed. Journalist Maury Terry was suspicious of Berkowitz's confession,
convinced as he gathered corroborating evidence throughout the years, that
Berkowitz did not act alone. In this investigative story, first published in
1987, Terry details the chilling events, proving that Berkowitz was an affiliate
of — and triggerman for — a Satanic cult known as the Process Church of the
Final Judgment, a far-reaching organization that is connected to other ritual
slayings across the country. Updated with Berkowitz's recent confirmations from
his prison cell, Terry untangles the web of information and shocking extent of
the Process Church's activities. Includes black-and-white photographs."
