“The buying and selling of women, young girls and boys for sex is the fastest growing business in organized crime”

As I documented in this in-depth piece, child sex trafficking — the buying and selling of women, young girls and boys for sex — has become big business in America. It is the fastest growing business in organized crime and the second most-lucrative commodity traded illegally after drugs and guns. Adults purchase children for sex at least 2.5 million times a year in the United States… Who buys a child for sex? … Ordinary men, yes. But then there are the extra-ordinary men, such as Jeffrey Epstein, who belong to a powerful, wealthy, elite segment of society that operates according to their own rules… These men skate free of accountability by taking advantage of a criminal justice system that panders to the powerful, the wealthy and the elite…. Here’s the thing: Epstein did not act alone.

John W. Whitehead, constitutional attorney

Professionals who have spoken out about ritual abuse are targeted and threatened.

Dr. Hammond took great personal risk in presenting this extensive research into ritual abuse being carried out by a system of cults around the world. Due to intense threats, Dr. Hammond stopped speaking about this topic shortly after this speech and has remained quiet since.

Trauma-Based Victimization: A Primer

  1. Terminology — Trauma-based victimization & mind control refer to intentionally-induced trauma for the purposes of manipulation & control. Learn related terminology here.

  2. Foundational Facts — Trauma does not kill a human body, but it can cause profound psychic injury that robs a person of their rightful human gifts. Healing is possible. It requires awareness, compassion, and dedication. Here are foundational facts you can use to help increase awareness.

  3. Prevalence — “The conspiracy of silence about child abuse had become a conspiracy of censorship, even within the profession charged with its treatment.” Thus, curation of research and testimony is critical. Research and reports on the prevalence of extreme abuse and trauma-based victimization includes more than 30 gov’t agencies, churches, and other organizations engaged in or covering up abuse.

  4. Torture & The Science of Mind Control — The targeted person — often a small child — is repeatedly subjected to horrific trauma which causes her to dissociate in order to survive. The dissociated states are then manipulated to control the victim.

  5. Survivor Testimony + Perpetrators (you’re here) — Survivor and therapist testimony, plus professionals who have been convicted, arrested, or identified in court or by officials as perpetrators in abduction and abuse cases.

  6. Healing & Support Resources — “Recovery and healing require examining the relationship with extreme evil, the concepts of free will and coercion, the structure of the mind, and the nature of connectedness.”

“Satanic Ritual Abuse in NZ: You are Strong Enough to Know the Truth”

Similar to the experiences of brave SRA survivor Fiona Barnett in Australia, I am a bloodline family member in New Zealand who was being groomed for the leadership position of a Satanic Ritual Abuse Cult in New Zealand that is supported by a powerful global Satanic network. With everything going on in the world today and revelations that our world leaders are beholden to this global Satanic ‘Family’ and their aspirations for massive depopulation and planetary enslavement, I felt that now was the time for me to add my voice to other brave survivors and guide the conversation towards the light and towards freedom for all human beings. I am now committed to being a visible beacon of support for all those who have suffered at the hands of this network and are in need of healing. In addition to this video, I have attached links below to a groundbreaking interview I did with Canadian journalist and life coach Richard Enos in 2019 which has never before been released to the public.

“Taylor describes being deliberately traumatized from birth to create dissociative identities”

This two-part interview features Brice Taylor (pseudonym), a self-described survivor of intergenerational satanic ritual abuse and high-level government/CIA mind-control programming… Taylor describes being deliberately traumatized from birth… to create dissociative identities (DID/MPD), which were then layered with sophisticated military, NASA, and medical programming. She alleges she was used to sexually service and deliver programmed messages to power brokers, carry classified “mind files” (photographic recall of documents), launder money, and participate in pornography/prostitution. She broke free in the early 1990s after years of intensive daily therapy, accidents that cracked amnestic barriers, and help from a renegade intelligence insider… Taylor emphasizes that public disbelief and media cover-ups are the biggest protectors of the perpetrators, and she calls for spiritual awakening, grassroots exposure, and a new presidential commission on mind-control experimentation.

Dr. D. Corydon Hammond, Ritual Abuse Therapist

Dr. D. Corydon Hammond is a credentialed and respected psychologist and author of 57 articles and eight books including a leading textbook, Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestions & Metaphors. His presentation, Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual Abuse delivered at a regional conference on June 25, 1992, has come to be called The Greenbaum Speech.

I have gone from someone not knowing what to think about it all to someone who clearly believes ritual abuse is real…For a long time I would give information to a select group of therapists that I knew and trusted, and say, “Spread it out. Don’t spread my name. But here’s some information. If you find it’s on target, share it with other therapists, and I’d appreciate your feedback.” People were hungry for information. Later, I and a few others that I’d shared it with were hedging out of concern because of personal threats and death threats. I finally decided to hell with them. If they’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me. It’s time to share more information with therapists.

More than 100 Testify that Australian Military Used Rape as Initiation

Australian commission: Military cadets raped as initiation
June 22, 2016, CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/21/asia/australia-military-abuse/index.html

Teenage recruits were raped by staff and forced to rape each other as part of initiation practices in the Australian military going back to 1960, a public inquiry heard on Tuesday. The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse is hearing evidence from men and women who say they were sexually abused when they were as young as 15… In total, 111 victims came forward to report abuse. More than a dozen of them will give evidence to the inquiry. “On multiple occasions, I was snatched from my bed in the middle of the night by older recruits and dragged to a sports oval,” said one male witness who wasn’t named. The witness said he was forced to rape other recruits, and was raped himself by older recruits and staff. “The environment made it useless to resist,” he said. “One could stand only so much abuse before realizing that saying ‘no’ was pointless.” Many survivors say that when they reported the abuse, they were ignored, punished, or told it was “a rite of passage” in their initiation period.

Svali, Ritual Abuse Survivor

I am a survivor of both ritual abuse and governmental mind control. My greatest hope in sharing on these pages is that the information will be helpful to others in breaking free of coercive cult control and help them realize that it is really possible to become free. My other goal is to help educate therapists and supporters of survivors so that they can better understand what survivors have gone through, and things that have helped others in their healing journey.

Svali Speaks website


Sue Blume, Social Worker

Blume became aware of ritual abuse from terrorized clients.

In the late 1980s, I knew nothing of ritual abuse… [It] was a complex and intimidating phenomenon for which we were totally unprepared, both professionally and personally. Therapists in the USA, Canada, the UK, and elsewhere around the world found themselves listening to horrifying, shocking, and sometimes unbelievable disclosures by terrorized clients… The treatment process would prove endlessly complicated, even dangerous… The normal rules just did not apply. On a desperate journey to meet our clients’ needs, we reached out for guidance from some pioneering professionals and brave survivors (the real experts). What they had to offer was invaluable, but we still could not figure out what the new rules needed to be. Some healed. Many did not… Treating ritual abuse felt frightening overwhelming, confusing and, frankly, sometimes impossible.

Sue Blume, LCSW, Diplomate in Clinical Social Work
