Murdered Crimewatch presenter Jill Dando tried to get BBC bosses to investigate an alleged paedophile ring in the corporation, it has today been claimed. A former friend and retired BBC worker has claimed that the television host was told that 'big name stars' and BBC staff were involved in abuse. But when she tried to get her superiors to investigate, and handed a file to senior management, no action was taken, the source claims. The former staff member, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Daily Star Sunday that she raised the claims with management in the mid 1990s.
The source said that the names were 'surprisingly big'. She said: 'I think she was quite shocked when told about images of children and that information on how to join this horrible paedophile ring was freely available.' They added that Ms Dando had also been told that female work colleagues told her they had been groped or assaulted, and that nothing had been done. 'She compiled a file of complaints but she was not really an investigative journalist, just a presenter. 'She passed the information to someone else and they gave it back. No one wanted to know.'
The BBC said it had not seen anything to substantiate the claims. Miss Dando, 37, was gunned down outside her home in Fulham, west London, on April 26, 1999, moments after stepping out of her car. Dando was killed with a single muffled bullet to the skull and neighbours found her in a pool of blood on her doorstep in a crime that shocked Britain. Part-time stuntman Barry George was jailed for the killing in 2001, but his conviction was overturned in August 2008 following the emergence of fresh evidence. Her killer has never been found.

Wealthy UK pedophile cult includes alleged assassins

Bracketed statements are added commentary.]
The leader of a Satanic sex cult is facing a lengthy jail sentence after being found guilty of multiple counts of rape and child abuse. Colin Batley, 48, exercised absolute control over his sect in a seaside cul-de-sac – abusing and exploiting helpless children as ‘sex toys’ for more than a decade. He was found guilty yesterday of 35 sex offences against children and young adults. Yet social services were alerted to Batley’s child abuse in 2002 – and took no action. As a consequence, the former Tesco security guard was allowed to continue ‘preying on the young and vulnerable’ for a further eight years – with the full support of wife Elaine. At their semi in Kidwelly, South Wales, he would dress in hooded robes, chant before an altar and then orchestrate or participate in group sex with his female followers, including Jacqueline Marling and Shelly Millar. One helpless girl was ‘initiated’ when she was just 11 and threatened with death by ‘cult assassins’ if she did not comply. At least two of his young victims gave birth as a result of the ‘systematic and prolonged abuse’. Yesterday at Swansea Crown Court, Marling, 42, and Elaine Batley, 47, were found guilty of five counts including sexual activity and indecency towards children.
Millar, 35, was found guilty of two similar charges. Another woman, Sandra Iveson, was found not guilty of gross indecency. Those found guilty will be sentenced tomorrow and face ‘substantial’ jail terms. Colin Batley’s home was a typical semi in a typical cul-de-sac. But to the stream of visitors who trooped through the front door – especially on Sunday nights – it was the Temple. In the lounge, a white cloth would be draped over a table to form an altar with candles and burning incense; nearby were tanks full of snakes and Satanic symbols. Those present would put on hooded robes and wear upside-down crucifixes. There would be chanting, which would always end in group sex. Children, boys and girls as young as 11, were also ‘initiated’ – repeatedly sexually abused in other words – during ‘Black Masses’ at Batley’s home. There were at least five victims that we know of, but police believe there could have been many more. Yet these vile activities did not disturb the neighbours. Why? Because they were involved too. They lived in houses next to or opposite each other on the outskirts of Kidwelly (population 3,000) near Carmarthen. For more than a decade Clos Yr Onnen, Welsh for Ash Tree Close, was possibly the most depraved street in Britain. The proof was there, in black and white, on the charge sheet at Swansea Crown Court where Batley, his bisexual wife Elaine and their accomplices stood trial for a sickening catalogue of crimes.
All of them perpetrated by culprits living in the same road; perhaps the single most shocking fact of all.
This disturbing story begins not in Wales, however, but more than 200 miles away in East London. Batley, from Shoreditch, had a string of jobs including work as a Tesco security guard and on a fruit-and-vegetable stall. He also bred rottweiler dogs and Siamese cats. His outwardly mundane existence, we now know, masked a sinister private life. He and his wife had been dabbling with the occult ever since they were married 30 years ago and were obsessed with Aleister Crowley, the most notorious Satanist of the 20th century, the self-styled ‘Great Beast’. One of Crowley’s publications, the Book of the Law, includes the passage: ‘Let all chaste women be despised. Sex with anyone is not just permissible but to be encouraged.’ And this: ‘Some of the most passionate and permanent attachments have begun with rape. Rome was founded thereon.’ Apart from anything else, the Book of the Law provided justification for the couple’s own ‘open marriage’. Batley had sent a photo of his wife to the Readers’ Wives section of a pornographic magazine and this had led to them meeting ‘others for group activities’, the jury was told.
They included former dental nurse Jacqueline Marling and prostitute Shelly Millar, who both joined Batley’s occult ‘circle’. They were given matching tattoos of the Eye of Horus, the Egyptian falcon god depicted pecking out the eyes of Christ in Crowley’s works, and addressed Batley as ‘My lord’ (police found him listed under this name on Millar’s mobile phone). Such was Batley’s control over his wretched ‘coven’ that they had to pay him 25 per cent of their income. Every time Millar entertained a client, she would send Batley a text message to tell him how much she had been paid. She had sex with more than 3,000 clients over a two-year period, making about £2,000 a month, a quarter of which went to him. It explained how Batley, officially unemployed, could afford a £45,000 caravan and frequent holidays abroad.
Batley would later claim that he moved to Wales for health reasons – to escape the smog. A claim rather undermined by the fact that his coven also relocated to the principality. Police believe there was another reason for the exodus; they suspect that other members of the cult – who have not been identified – were based in Wales. The first East Londoner to arrive in Kidwelly was twice-married mother of four Sandra Iveson in 1995. The following year, the Batleys moved in. Two years later, Marling became their next-door neighbour and Millar, 35, an unmarried mother of two who was brought up a Catholic, completed the set. Did other residents have any inkling of the kind of people that were now living among them? Well, with hindsight, there were a few small clues. John Wheatland and his wife Marion, both in their seventies, couldn’t help but notice how Colin Batley was ‘over at Shelly’s all the time’. On another occasion, the Wheatlands encountered Millar and another woman kissing and touching each other in the supermarket. Yet they could not have imagined the extent of what was really going on behind the closed curtains of the so-called Temple. During occult gatherings it became the set of a horror movie.
Batley, in a hooded robe, would read out extracts from the Book of the Law, which had been typed out and laminated by his wife. Hanging above him on the wall was a gold ceremonial dagger and sitting menacingly nearby were his two rottweilers, Tutankhamun and Sekhet. One young victim told how Batley introduced her to the cult by raping her when she was 11, telling her that having sex with him was a ‘test’ and if she did not pass she would go to ‘the Abyss’. The victim, now in her twenties, told the court: ‘I did not want him to do what he was doing, but I did not have a choice because what Colin said happened. What Colin said went.’
The abuse continued for years. As a teenager she became pregnant by Batley, who prevented her from having an abortion saying that babies belonged to the cult and not to their mothers. Another victim, now in her thirties, said she was forced to have sex with Batley when she was 15. She was also ordered to perform sex acts on his wife and other men and women. ‘I was told I’d be killed if I didn’t become part of the cult,’ she said. ‘Colin Batley had a gun and brought it to meetings. I was so scared I just did what I was told. I was in the living room at his home and he told me there would be an initiation. I was called upstairs. Elaine was there. He would just snap his fingers and say, “Strip”.’
She said that on one occasion when she was 16, she was made to have sex with a boy of 15 – as Marling filmed them.
The girl was told she would be murdered by ‘cult assassins’ if she did not give in to Batley’s demands. Through a video link, she sobbed as she told how she was taken to other addresses by Batley where she had sex with other men. ‘I did it because I was told to by Colin.’ Another woman victim said she was recruited into the cult and became pregnant after becoming a ‘sexual plaything’ for the group. Batley ordered her not to abort her ‘occult child’. A male victim said that, as a teenager, he was tricked into having sex with Batley’s wife. The witness recalled how Batley promised to set him up with a girl and directed him to a dark bedroom. Once inside, he got into bed and then realised that the other person lying beside him was Elaine Batley. One of the charges against Shelly Millar was that she seduced a boy of 15. Millar claimed he was 16, and that she was teaching him how to have sex as he had a new girlfriend ‘he wanted to impress’. She had sex with him twice in Batley’s caravan in Tenby. Batley, it emerged during the trial, had been reported to Carmarthenshire Social Services in 2002 by a concerned relative. She said Batley had been abused by his own father and that ‘history was about to repeat itself’.
The warning went unheeded, allowing Batley and his cult to prey on youngsters week after week, month after month for another eight years. The Batleys had four children, one of whom, Damian, died of strangulation three years ago when a bizarre sex game went wrong. He was found hanging from his bedroom door at the family home and had been filming himself. Finally, last year, one of Batley’s victims went to the police. It was one of the girls he had impregnated as a teenager. She said she feared he might target her own child. Batley was tipped off about the police inquiry and, by the time he was arrested, had destroyed potential evidence. But officers found home-made films of two of his victims on his camcorder. [The circumstances surrounding the death of the Batleys' son seem highly questionable given that the family has already been accused of producing what very well might be commercial pornography]. Interviewed 11 times by detectives, he steadfastly maintained his innocence. The jury did not believe him. They saw him for what he was – ‘an evil and manipulative sexual predator’ who had used the cult and ‘black magic’ as a cover for his own perverted ends. Back in Kidwelly, there was relief at the verdicts. ‘I’m just glad they’ve all finally gone,’ said John Wheatland. He spoke for everyone in Ash Tree Close.
Sex cult was inspired by 'the Great Beast'
The cult’s inspiration, Aleister ‘the Great Beast’ Crowley, believed himself to be a prophet of a new age of personal liberty, controlled by the ancient Egyptian god Horus.

10 Secrets The Catholic Church Hopes You’ve Forgotten
via Listverse:
10 The Lies Of Mother Teresa
Although Mother Teresa was beatified as a saint by the Catholic Church in 2003, in reality she was far from the saint the Church would lead you to believe. In fact, Mother Teresa isn’t even her real name; she was born Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Albania. The issues certainly don’t end with her pseudonym. Researchers today have called Mother Teresa an empty “PR ploy” by the Vatican to rehabilitate their tarnished image.
Mother Teresa’s claim to fame is helping poor around the world, but she did quite the opposite throughout her lifetime. Mother Teresa made niceties with right-wing Haitian Dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier and accepted money from him which had been stolen from Haiti’s poor. Duvalier was known for stealing millions from Haiti’s poor so that he could maintain his own lavish lifestyle. He spent $2 million of Haiti’s money to pay for his extravagant wedding. Duvalier also profited from drug trafficking and selling the body parts of deceased Haitians.
Mother Teresa rubbed elbows with another thief by the name of Charles Keating. If that name rings a bell for you, it should; Keating is the banker best known for defrauding American taxpayers out of over $3 billion during the savings and loan crisis of the ’80s and ’90s. Keating donated $1.25 million to Mother Teresa and lent her his private jet so that the missionary could jet set around the world. Keating would later be convicted in state and federal courts of a litany of crimes including racketeering, fraud, and conspiracy. After Keating was convicted, Mother Teresa refused to return the stolen money and asked one of the courts to overturn his sentence.
What she did with the money remains in question. The care she gave to the sick and poor in her hospices was observed to be wholly unsanitary, medical care was wholly insufficient, and crucial pain management for the dying was cruelly inadequate. Her hospices were found to not even distinguish between terminally ill patients and those who could be cured. Consequently, patients with curable illness died from the poor, unsanitary treatment they received from Mother Teresa’s facilities.
Her motivation for setting these hospices may have been less compassion and more fundamentalism. Mother Teresa callously encouraged those who worked in her hospices to baptize dying patients, regardless of the patient’s religious beliefs or consent. Mother Teresa’s fundamentalism stretched beyond the subject of baptism. She claimed that abortion was “the greatest enemy of peace in the world,” and opposed contraception even in the cases of rape and incest.
Mother Teresa also defended a pedophilic priest named Donald McGuire, trying to get him leniency after he was convicted of raping children. She wanted him to be reinstated as a priest despite his heinous crimes.
The greatest irony of it all is that by the end of her life, Mother Teresa didn’t even believe in the fundamentalism she spouted or the religion she spent her life serving. After her death, letters Mother Teresa had written to the Vatican surfaced and revealed that she had stopped believing in the religion she plugged. Mother Teresa wrote: “What do I labor for? If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true.”
9 Alliance With Radical Islamists
In 1994, 180 countries met to draft a proposal with the United Nations to address the coming crisis of overpopulation. The plan met an unexpected foe in the Catholic Church. In its opposition to the plan, the Catholic Church reached out to unlikely allies: radical Islamists.
The population plan drafted by representatives from 180 countries sought to tamper overpopulation by including measures to increase women’s rights and reproductive rights around the world. The Catholic Church felt the language went against their conservative views on abortion rights and sexual freedom. But the Catholic Church had a hard time finding allies around the world to join in their opposition to the measures, so they allied themselves with “radical and fundamentalist governments and groups in Islamic countries.”
The move received swift denunciation from Western countries around the world. Western diplomats worried that the Vatican was bolstering Islamic radicals with plans to overthrow governments around the Middle East and form their own radical Islamic state.
After Iran signed on with the Catholic Church, Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad Hashemi Rafsanjani hinted at a grander alliance between the Vatican and Iranian Islamist. Rafsanjani said that “Collaboration between religious governments in support of outlawing abortion is a fine beginning for the conception of collaboration in other fields.”
The Vatican also struck a similar alliance with Libya and other Islamic fundamentalist governments. As a result of the deal, the Vatican tried to help Libya quell its conflicts with Western nations. The Western nations sought to clamp down on the dictatorship after it sponsored the Lockerbie terrorist attack of 1988, which resulted in the deaths of 259 individuals.
8 Jozef Tiso
The Catholic Church is known to have allied itself with fascists in World War II, most notably with Mussolini by signing the Lateran Treaty. However, one lesser-known fascist dictator of the time was actually a practicing Catholic priest.
Before Jozef Tiso got into the dictator game, he cut his teeth in a prestigious seminary in Vienna and became an ordained Catholic priest. Father Tiso then worked as an assistant priest before becoming the Spiritual director of one of Slovakia’s largest seminaries. Soon, Tiso began to moonlight in politics. He joined Slovakia’s fascist party and served as an editor of a Slovakian newspaper in which he published a series of extremely anti-Semitic articles in the run-up to the Holocaust.
It wasn’t long before Tiso became one of the leaders of the fascist Slovak People’s Party. Father Tiso and his confidants shifted the party to the hard right in line with the nearby Nazi party, embracing the clerical nationalism and fascism inspired by Tiso’s own brand of right-wing Catholicism.
Father Tiso was elected into Slovakia’s parliament in 1925, but he would ascend to the role of dictator when Nazi Germany occupied Sudetenland in 1938. Tiso swiftly established a dictatorship and made an alliance with the Nazi party. Slovakia was turned into the Slovak Republic, a puppet state of Nazi Germany.
During this time, 16 of 63 members of Slovakia’s parliament were priests. Slovakia’s fascist parliament quickly began passing anti-Jewish legislation. Slovakia then became the first country to begin deporting its Jewish residents to concentration camps run by Nazi Germany, effectively setting the Holocaust into motion.
According to a December 1940 census, there were 88,951 Jews in Slovakia at the time. First, Tiso’s Slovakia sent 20,000 Jews to the Nazis to be used in work camps before they were killed. By June 1924, around 52,000 Jews were deported from Slovakia—almost 60 percent of Slovakia’s Jewish population. Most were sent to Auschwitz, where they were murdered by the Nazis.
Hitler witnessed one of Tiso’s speeches in 1942 in which Tiso touted his Jewish deportation scheme. After the speech, Hitler remarked, “It is interesting how this little Catholic priest Tiso is sending us the Jews!”
Tiso was removed from power in 1944 during the Slovak National Uprising. Just before being ousted, the Vatican radio told its listeners that Father Tiso retired in his role as a monsignor for the Vatican, “owing to his political activities.” After Slovakia was liberated from Nazi control by the Soviet Union the next year, Father Tiso was captured by American troops in June 1945. He was hanged for treason in 1947.
Throughout the entirety of his political career, he remained a practicing Catholic priest.
Tiso isn’t the only dictator to start off as an aspiring priest in seminary. USSR dictator Joseph Stalin also studied to become a priest at Russia’s leading Orthodox seminary, the Tiflis Spiritual Seminary.
7 Excommunication Policies
n 2009, the Catholic Church in Brazil came under fire for punishing an underaged girl who was raped and subsequently had an abortion. The Church couldn’t excommunicate the girl herself because minors cannot be excommunicated, but the Church did excommunicate her mother. The Church also excommunicated the doctors who performed the emergency abortion. However, they did not excommunicate the girl’s rapist.
In fact, the Catholic Church opposes abortion so vehemently that not only is it worthy of excommunication; the Church believes it’s worthy of death in some cases. The Catholic Church has previously established that it would rather have a woman die than get a life-saving abortion.
The scandal highlighted an even larger problem for the Catholic Church that stems from its core doctrine. First and foremost, it doesn’t consider rape a crime worthy of excommunication, even though having an abortion after a rape an act is worthy of excommunication. The Vatican’s bizarre standards on excommunication also broach its problem with pedophilic priests. The Catholic Church doesn’t consider pedophilia and child abuse crimes worthy of excommunication in and of themselves.
In fact, the Catholic Church didn’t even excommunicate the Nazis for the crimes against humanity they committed, despite the fact that many Nazi leaders were practicing Catholics. There is only one Nazi to be excommunicated by the Catholic Church, and that was Joseph Goebbels. The Vatican didn’t excommunicate him for starting World War II or the Holocaust; instead, the Church excommunicated Goebbels because he married a divorced Protestant.
Until recently, no pedophilic priest who had abused children had been excommunicated by the Catholic Church. Late last year, Pope Francis broke Church precedent and issued the first excommunication of a pedophilic priest who had sexually abused children. The priest had been convicted of the abuse and sentenced to 14 years in prison three years earlier.
But if you think Pope Francis has totally overhauled the Church’s excommunication practices, think again. Pope Francis also excommunicated a priest for advocating that women should be able to be priests and for believing that gay marriage is perfectly reasonable.
6 Money Laundering And Tax Evasion
shady money
The Vatican Bank is notoriously poor, if not corrupt in managing its finances. While congregations in Catholic churches around the world may think the money they pour into collection plates is going to charity or priests, the truth is that the money goes to far more lurid activities.
In 2013, Vatican Bank’s director, deputy director, and senior accountant were all charged with using their positions to engage in a massive money laundering scheme. The Vatican Bank had been under investigation for money laundering for years.
Italian police claimed the Vatican Bank had been operating as a “trust company” that harbored secret monies of the corrupt politicians and companies, along with the Mafia. The bank also used its finances to bribe political parties.
The Vatican bank is so intertwined with the Mafia, that after Pope Francis sought to tamper corruption in the bank months ago, Italian prosecutors believed he was in danger of being assassinated by the Mafia.
The Vatican’s ties with the Mafia are so strong that it accepted one billion lire to bury a notorious Italian crime boss in its basilica next to former popes.
5 Age Of Consent
twelve year olds
The Catholic Church has famously been plagued by cases of widespread child abuse carried out by its priests. Oddly enough, the child abuse wasn’t as illegal in Vatican City as it was in the rest of the world. That’s because the age of consent in the Vatican was only 12 years old. In fact, the age of consent in the Vatican was only 12 until July 2013, when Pope Francis raised the age of consent up to 18 in the wake of the Church’s pedophilia and prostitution scandals.
Until the shockingly recent change, the Vatican had the lowest age of consent in the world. The 12-year-old age of consent tied the Vatican with the Philippines, Mexico, Angola, and Zimbabwe, all of which have a 12-year-old age of consent to this day.
This frighteningly low age of consent may explain why the Catholic Church often doesn’t consider the child abuse carried out by its priests’ pedophilia. High-level church officials like the Vatican’s secretary of state have claimed that homosexuality is to blame for its priests’ child abuse, not pedophilia, calling homosexuality a “pathology.”
4 Fueling The Illegal Ivory Trade

The ivory trade is a horrific practice. The often illegal trade has caused numerous species to become endangered, decimating the elephant population in Africa. Elephants, one of the most intelligent species on the planet, are senselessly and inhumanely killed and their ivory tusks are ripped off. The rest of the elephant’s mauled body is discarded as waste. Perhaps the primary reason the illegal practice exists is because of organized religion.
In order to stop the violence, 180 countries got together and formed the CITES treaty, or the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. The treaty’s purpose is to keep endangered species from going extinct by stopping practices that have obliterated their populations, like the ivory trade or the shark fin trade. There was one notable exception among the signatories: the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church opposed the attempt to protect endangered species because the Catholic Church buys lots of ivory. It does so not out of necessity, but out of tradition. Many of the decorative crucifixes in Catholic Churches are made out of ivory, which can only be made by slaughtering an elephant.
3 Questionable Charity Policies
lgbt rights
The Catholic Church bolsters its image by labeling itself as a charitable organization. Its congregations are led to believe their donations to the Church fuel charitable causes around the world. However, the Catholic Church’s objective for this charity is often advertising rather than altruism.
Recently, the Catholic Church claimed it would stop all of its charity work in Washington, D.C. if the city passed a law legalizing same-sex marriage. Although they didn’t actually stop working in Washington, D.C. when gay marriage was legalized, the Washington Catholic Charities did cease to provide benefits to all spouses of both homosexual and heterosexual workers. To legally avoid providing benefits to people in gay marriages, they stopped providing benefits to everyone.
The Catholic Church attempted to use its influence to prevent charities around the United States from supporting rights for gay citizens. When the Catholic Church heard that the YMCA was patterning with an organization that supports LGBT rights, the Catholic Church told the YMCA to cut its ties with the group or lose $60,000 of its funding. The YMCA didn’t back down, so the Catholic Church yanked its funding from the YMCA, along with eight other charitable groups. When all was said and done, the Catholic Church yanked over $300,000 in funding for charities solely because they began to support equal rights for the LGBT community.
2 Forced Castration Of Abused Boys
Castrato was a classical style of singing; male singers would sing in a higher range, which can usually only be sung by women. In order to produce this high castrato voice in males, the singer needs to be literally castrated before he begins puberty, preventing his body from reaching sexual maturity and his voice from dropping.
You may be wondering, why not just get women to sing the high notes? Well, the Catholic Church never thought it would be an option to allow women to sing in their church choirs, citing a Bible verse: “let women keep silent in church.” In 2001, it was revealed that the Catholic Church had encouraged choir boys to be castrated in order to alter their singing range. Beginning in the 16th century, the Catholic Church castrated its prepubescent choir boys to deliberately prevent them from reaching sexual maturity.
Some of the castrato singers, like Alessandro Moreschi, were famous among Europe’s opera-goers of the time. Moreschi and those like him were prized for their ability to utilize the vocal strength of the male body with the high register of the female voice. However, the majority of the castrated boys were rendered unable to sing or live normal lives. They were therefore discarded by the Church, thought to be “useless even as circus freaks.”
In 1902, the Catholic Church issued a decree which banned the practice within the Sistine Chapel, but the Vatican continued to tolerate the practice. The last castrato singer thought to be affected by the castration practice retired in 1959.
But the Catholic Church’s use for castration sometimes had an even darker intention. In 2012, it was revealed that the Catholic Church in the Netherlands had been forcibly castrating its choir boys who threatened to tell the police that they had been sexuality abused by its priests. Dutch investigative journalist Joep Dohmmen discovered the story of a young boy in a Catholic boarding school who was sexually abused by a Dutch monk and reported the abuse to the Dutch police in 1956. After the Dutch Catholic Church found out that the boy reported the abuse to the authorities, they put him into a church-run psychiatric ward, declared him to be homosexual, and forcibly castrated him.
There have been at least 10 other similar cases among the boy’s classmates, who were also sexually abused by priests and then forcibly castrated by the Catholic Church when they tried to report it.
1 The Rwandan Genocide
rwandan genocide
The Rwandan genocide—the slaughter of the Tutsi minority and some Hutus by the Hutu majority—claimed an estimated 800,000 lives in only four months in 1994. As much as 20 percent of Rwanda’s population was senselessly killed, and about 70 percent of the Tutsi minority. After the bloodshed ended, the country—if not the world— frantically looked for the murderous perpetrators to bring them to justice. Many of the killers behind the genocide suddenly vanished, and the Catholic Church may be responsible for their escape.
At the time of the genocide, the Catholic Church was called “the most powerful social institution in Rwanda.” Around two-thirds of the population of Rwanda is Catholic. Human rights groups and survivors’ groups claim the Catholic Church was complicit in allowing the genocide to occur, while some Catholic clergymen participated in the massacre themselves. In addition, the Catholic Church and its clergy have helped some of the perpetrators of the genocide flee Rwanda to escape persecution or shielded them from extradition.
As other priests did with the Nazi ratlines after World War II, an organized network of Catholic priests helped and protected the genocidal priests. The network smuggled the criminals out of Rwanda to Europe, where they could be sheltered from prosecution and even continue preaching in Catholic churches. Many fled to Italy because of the Catholic Church’s strong presence in the country and ability to fight extradition.
One such priest was Father Athanase Seromba. During the Rwandan genocide, Father Seromba told around 2,000 Tutsis that they could take refuge from the violence inside the church he operated. On April 6, 1994, when 2,000 of the Tutsis gathered inside, Seromba ordered the Church to be bulldozed with the Tutsis inside. After the Church was flattened, Father Seromba and his henchmen shot the remaining survivors.
After the genocide was stopped, Father Seromba fled Rwanda with the aid of a network of sympathetic clergymen. He continued to practice as a priest for the Catholic Church under a false name in a church near Florence, Italy. He went unnoticed until 2002, when he was uncovered by investigators working with the International Tribunal for Rwanda. The Chief Prosecutor for the tribunal claimed the Vatican had fought Father Seromba’s extradition to face his trial. The Vatican told the prosecutor that Father Seromba was “doing good works in Italy.”
Human rights advocates around the world have long called for the Catholic Church to apologize for its role in the Rwandan genocide and its aftermath. Thus far, the Catholic Church has not issued any such statement.
10 The Lies Of Mother Teresa
Although Mother Teresa was beatified as a saint by the Catholic Church in 2003, in reality she was far from the saint the Church would lead you to believe. In fact, Mother Teresa isn’t even her real name; she was born Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Albania. The issues certainly don’t end with her pseudonym. Researchers today have called Mother Teresa an empty “PR ploy” by the Vatican to rehabilitate their tarnished image.
Mother Teresa’s claim to fame is helping poor around the world, but she did quite the opposite throughout her lifetime. Mother Teresa made niceties with right-wing Haitian Dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier and accepted money from him which had been stolen from Haiti’s poor. Duvalier was known for stealing millions from Haiti’s poor so that he could maintain his own lavish lifestyle. He spent $2 million of Haiti’s money to pay for his extravagant wedding. Duvalier also profited from drug trafficking and selling the body parts of deceased Haitians.
Mother Teresa rubbed elbows with another thief by the name of Charles Keating. If that name rings a bell for you, it should; Keating is the banker best known for defrauding American taxpayers out of over $3 billion during the savings and loan crisis of the ’80s and ’90s. Keating donated $1.25 million to Mother Teresa and lent her his private jet so that the missionary could jet set around the world. Keating would later be convicted in state and federal courts of a litany of crimes including racketeering, fraud, and conspiracy. After Keating was convicted, Mother Teresa refused to return the stolen money and asked one of the courts to overturn his sentence.
What she did with the money remains in question. The care she gave to the sick and poor in her hospices was observed to be wholly unsanitary, medical care was wholly insufficient, and crucial pain management for the dying was cruelly inadequate. Her hospices were found to not even distinguish between terminally ill patients and those who could be cured. Consequently, patients with curable illness died from the poor, unsanitary treatment they received from Mother Teresa’s facilities.
Her motivation for setting these hospices may have been less compassion and more fundamentalism. Mother Teresa callously encouraged those who worked in her hospices to baptize dying patients, regardless of the patient’s religious beliefs or consent. Mother Teresa’s fundamentalism stretched beyond the subject of baptism. She claimed that abortion was “the greatest enemy of peace in the world,” and opposed contraception even in the cases of rape and incest.
Mother Teresa also defended a pedophilic priest named Donald McGuire, trying to get him leniency after he was convicted of raping children. She wanted him to be reinstated as a priest despite his heinous crimes.
The greatest irony of it all is that by the end of her life, Mother Teresa didn’t even believe in the fundamentalism she spouted or the religion she spent her life serving. After her death, letters Mother Teresa had written to the Vatican surfaced and revealed that she had stopped believing in the religion she plugged. Mother Teresa wrote: “What do I labor for? If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true.”
9 Alliance With Radical Islamists
In 1994, 180 countries met to draft a proposal with the United Nations to address the coming crisis of overpopulation. The plan met an unexpected foe in the Catholic Church. In its opposition to the plan, the Catholic Church reached out to unlikely allies: radical Islamists.
The population plan drafted by representatives from 180 countries sought to tamper overpopulation by including measures to increase women’s rights and reproductive rights around the world. The Catholic Church felt the language went against their conservative views on abortion rights and sexual freedom. But the Catholic Church had a hard time finding allies around the world to join in their opposition to the measures, so they allied themselves with “radical and fundamentalist governments and groups in Islamic countries.”
The move received swift denunciation from Western countries around the world. Western diplomats worried that the Vatican was bolstering Islamic radicals with plans to overthrow governments around the Middle East and form their own radical Islamic state.
After Iran signed on with the Catholic Church, Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad Hashemi Rafsanjani hinted at a grander alliance between the Vatican and Iranian Islamist. Rafsanjani said that “Collaboration between religious governments in support of outlawing abortion is a fine beginning for the conception of collaboration in other fields.”
The Vatican also struck a similar alliance with Libya and other Islamic fundamentalist governments. As a result of the deal, the Vatican tried to help Libya quell its conflicts with Western nations. The Western nations sought to clamp down on the dictatorship after it sponsored the Lockerbie terrorist attack of 1988, which resulted in the deaths of 259 individuals.
8 Jozef Tiso
The Catholic Church is known to have allied itself with fascists in World War II, most notably with Mussolini by signing the Lateran Treaty. However, one lesser-known fascist dictator of the time was actually a practicing Catholic priest.
Before Jozef Tiso got into the dictator game, he cut his teeth in a prestigious seminary in Vienna and became an ordained Catholic priest. Father Tiso then worked as an assistant priest before becoming the Spiritual director of one of Slovakia’s largest seminaries. Soon, Tiso began to moonlight in politics. He joined Slovakia’s fascist party and served as an editor of a Slovakian newspaper in which he published a series of extremely anti-Semitic articles in the run-up to the Holocaust.
It wasn’t long before Tiso became one of the leaders of the fascist Slovak People’s Party. Father Tiso and his confidants shifted the party to the hard right in line with the nearby Nazi party, embracing the clerical nationalism and fascism inspired by Tiso’s own brand of right-wing Catholicism.
Father Tiso was elected into Slovakia’s parliament in 1925, but he would ascend to the role of dictator when Nazi Germany occupied Sudetenland in 1938. Tiso swiftly established a dictatorship and made an alliance with the Nazi party. Slovakia was turned into the Slovak Republic, a puppet state of Nazi Germany.
During this time, 16 of 63 members of Slovakia’s parliament were priests. Slovakia’s fascist parliament quickly began passing anti-Jewish legislation. Slovakia then became the first country to begin deporting its Jewish residents to concentration camps run by Nazi Germany, effectively setting the Holocaust into motion.
According to a December 1940 census, there were 88,951 Jews in Slovakia at the time. First, Tiso’s Slovakia sent 20,000 Jews to the Nazis to be used in work camps before they were killed. By June 1924, around 52,000 Jews were deported from Slovakia—almost 60 percent of Slovakia’s Jewish population. Most were sent to Auschwitz, where they were murdered by the Nazis.
Hitler witnessed one of Tiso’s speeches in 1942 in which Tiso touted his Jewish deportation scheme. After the speech, Hitler remarked, “It is interesting how this little Catholic priest Tiso is sending us the Jews!”
Tiso was removed from power in 1944 during the Slovak National Uprising. Just before being ousted, the Vatican radio told its listeners that Father Tiso retired in his role as a monsignor for the Vatican, “owing to his political activities.” After Slovakia was liberated from Nazi control by the Soviet Union the next year, Father Tiso was captured by American troops in June 1945. He was hanged for treason in 1947.
Throughout the entirety of his political career, he remained a practicing Catholic priest.
Tiso isn’t the only dictator to start off as an aspiring priest in seminary. USSR dictator Joseph Stalin also studied to become a priest at Russia’s leading Orthodox seminary, the Tiflis Spiritual Seminary.
7 Excommunication Policies
n 2009, the Catholic Church in Brazil came under fire for punishing an underaged girl who was raped and subsequently had an abortion. The Church couldn’t excommunicate the girl herself because minors cannot be excommunicated, but the Church did excommunicate her mother. The Church also excommunicated the doctors who performed the emergency abortion. However, they did not excommunicate the girl’s rapist.
In fact, the Catholic Church opposes abortion so vehemently that not only is it worthy of excommunication; the Church believes it’s worthy of death in some cases. The Catholic Church has previously established that it would rather have a woman die than get a life-saving abortion.
The scandal highlighted an even larger problem for the Catholic Church that stems from its core doctrine. First and foremost, it doesn’t consider rape a crime worthy of excommunication, even though having an abortion after a rape an act is worthy of excommunication. The Vatican’s bizarre standards on excommunication also broach its problem with pedophilic priests. The Catholic Church doesn’t consider pedophilia and child abuse crimes worthy of excommunication in and of themselves.
In fact, the Catholic Church didn’t even excommunicate the Nazis for the crimes against humanity they committed, despite the fact that many Nazi leaders were practicing Catholics. There is only one Nazi to be excommunicated by the Catholic Church, and that was Joseph Goebbels. The Vatican didn’t excommunicate him for starting World War II or the Holocaust; instead, the Church excommunicated Goebbels because he married a divorced Protestant.
Until recently, no pedophilic priest who had abused children had been excommunicated by the Catholic Church. Late last year, Pope Francis broke Church precedent and issued the first excommunication of a pedophilic priest who had sexually abused children. The priest had been convicted of the abuse and sentenced to 14 years in prison three years earlier.
But if you think Pope Francis has totally overhauled the Church’s excommunication practices, think again. Pope Francis also excommunicated a priest for advocating that women should be able to be priests and for believing that gay marriage is perfectly reasonable.
6 Money Laundering And Tax Evasion
shady money
The Vatican Bank is notoriously poor, if not corrupt in managing its finances. While congregations in Catholic churches around the world may think the money they pour into collection plates is going to charity or priests, the truth is that the money goes to far more lurid activities.
In 2013, Vatican Bank’s director, deputy director, and senior accountant were all charged with using their positions to engage in a massive money laundering scheme. The Vatican Bank had been under investigation for money laundering for years.
Italian police claimed the Vatican Bank had been operating as a “trust company” that harbored secret monies of the corrupt politicians and companies, along with the Mafia. The bank also used its finances to bribe political parties.
The Vatican bank is so intertwined with the Mafia, that after Pope Francis sought to tamper corruption in the bank months ago, Italian prosecutors believed he was in danger of being assassinated by the Mafia.
The Vatican’s ties with the Mafia are so strong that it accepted one billion lire to bury a notorious Italian crime boss in its basilica next to former popes.
5 Age Of Consent
twelve year olds
The Catholic Church has famously been plagued by cases of widespread child abuse carried out by its priests. Oddly enough, the child abuse wasn’t as illegal in Vatican City as it was in the rest of the world. That’s because the age of consent in the Vatican was only 12 years old. In fact, the age of consent in the Vatican was only 12 until July 2013, when Pope Francis raised the age of consent up to 18 in the wake of the Church’s pedophilia and prostitution scandals.
Until the shockingly recent change, the Vatican had the lowest age of consent in the world. The 12-year-old age of consent tied the Vatican with the Philippines, Mexico, Angola, and Zimbabwe, all of which have a 12-year-old age of consent to this day.
This frighteningly low age of consent may explain why the Catholic Church often doesn’t consider the child abuse carried out by its priests’ pedophilia. High-level church officials like the Vatican’s secretary of state have claimed that homosexuality is to blame for its priests’ child abuse, not pedophilia, calling homosexuality a “pathology.”
4 Fueling The Illegal Ivory Trade
ivory crucifix
The ivory trade is a horrific practice. The often illegal trade has caused numerous species to become endangered, decimating the elephant population in Africa. Elephants, one of the most intelligent species on the planet, are senselessly and inhumanely killed and their ivory tusks are ripped off. The rest of the elephant’s mauled body is discarded as waste. Perhaps the primary reason the illegal practice exists is because of organized religion.
In order to stop the violence, 180 countries got together and formed the CITES treaty, or the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. The treaty’s purpose is to keep endangered species from going extinct by stopping practices that have obliterated their populations, like the ivory trade or the shark fin trade. There was one notable exception among the signatories: the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church opposed the attempt to protect endangered species because the Catholic Church buys lots of ivory. It does so not out of necessity, but out of tradition. Many of the decorative crucifixes in Catholic Churches are made out of ivory, which can only be made by slaughtering an elephant.

In 1902, the Catholic Church issued a decree which banned the practice within the Sistine Chapel, but the Vatican continued to tolerate the practice. The last castrato singer thought to be affected by the castration practice retired in 1959.

God's Bankers: A History of Money and Power at the Vatican
via Amazon:
A deeply reported, fast-paced exposé of the money and the cardinals-turned-financiers at the heart of the Vatican—the world’s biggest, most powerful religious institution—from an acclaimed journalist with “exhaustive research techniques” (The New York Times).
An Amazon reviewer writes: This is as much a history of the Vatican as it is its money trail from the shadows of the renaissance all the way up the day it was published... scores of books have been commissioned by the Vatican to conceal its union with the Nazi Party in pre-war Germany. Read the newspapers of the time and you get an entirely different picture. `God's Bankers' gives you that picture.
The narrative is skillfully knotted with loads of scenes of the times, from little Jewish boys kidnapped by popes, into the shadows of the Vatican alliance with the Third Reich, to Jews loaded onto boxcars under clergy noses, to the politics of conclaves that elect popes, to a pope sitting up dead in bed reading papers held in his hands, to a Mafia type swinging under a bridge in the wake of the `Great Vatican Bank Scandal'.
It cleverly weaves the role of money into most of what it has to say and it sheds new light on those of us who think we know it all. For example, most of us know the German Concordant allied the Vatican with Nazi Germany. But, how many of us know, the Third Reich enacted automatic payroll deductions of German Catholics (8-10%); money which flowed to the Vatican treasury?
Most of us know the Sindona/Vatican Bank manipulation of Long Island's Franklin National Bank resulted in the biggest American bank failure of its time. Most of us know, it was made possible through the intervention of Richard Nixon. But, how many of us know, Sindona contributed $5.2 million ($20 million today's dollars) to Nixon's 1972 campaign?...the framework for manipulation remains. The Vatican Bank continues to operate as a central bank on the edge of Vatican City within Italy. Anyone can walk into the bank and have money transferred anywhere in the world without going through the Bank of Italy. Too, it continues to operate under a single man--the Pope. Change the ethnics of that man? God knows what will happen?
I developed an interest in the Vatican Bank via The Vatican Murders: The Life and Death of John Paul I. Written by a former acquaintance of the 33-day Pope - Lucien Gregoire - it does a compelling job of proving `The conspiracy that plotted the Great Vatican Bank Scandal (1979-81) was the same conspiracy that plotted the Murder of the youngest pope to die in four hundred years and eight left wing cardinals.'
From a master chronicler of legal and financial misconduct, a magnificent investigation nine years in the making, this book traces the political intrigue and inner workings of the Catholic Church. Decidedly not about faith, belief in God, or religious doctrine, this book is about the church’s accumulation of wealth and its byzantine entanglements with financial markets across the world. Told through 200 years of prelates, bishops, cardinals, and the Popes who oversee it all, Gerald Posner uncovers an eyebrow-raising account of money and power in perhaps the most influential organization in the history of the world.
God’s Bankers has it all: a rare exposé and an astounding saga marked by poisoned business titans, murdered prosecutors, mysterious deaths of private investigators, and questionable suicides; a carnival of characters from Popes and cardinals, financiers and mobsters, kings and prime ministers; and a set of moral and political circumstances that clarify not only the church’s aims and ambitions, but reflect the larger dilemmas of the world’s more recent history. And Posner even looks to the future to surmise if Pope Francis can succeed where all his predecessors failed: to overcome the resistance to change in the Vatican’s Machiavellian inner court and to rein in the excesses of its seemingly uncontrollable financial quagmire. Part thriller, part financial tell-all, this book shows with extraordinary precision how the Vatican has evolved from a foundation of faith to a corporation of extreme wealth and power.

Lord James of Blackheath: I Helped Smuggle Children Used For Slavery And Sexual Exploitation
via Researchingreform.net:
In a debate which took place in the House of Lords yesterday on the Modern Slavery Bill, Lord Blackheath makes a startling revelation. He tells his fellow peers that whilst working for the Australian Civil Service in London, he was tasked with herding, as he puts it, small children on to boats at Tilbury, for transportation to Australia. Blackheath says:
“They did not have names; they did not know who their parents were, or where they came from, and they were completely terrified.”
He recounts that at the time, he was “deeply suspicious” of this practice, and had a strong feeling that the children did not have the proper permissions to travel. Since then, he has been likened to Jimmy Savile, although to his credit, he does say his rap sheet is worse. Savile was responsible for abusing 300 children – Blackheath facilitated the abuse of 2,500 vulnerable minors, none of whom knew who their parents were or what was happening to them. Completely alone in the world. And yet Blackheath, with his strong suspicions, which included the belief that what he was he was being asked to do to those children was in fact illegal, chose to keep schtum.
You would think that after such an admission, Blackheath would be a little more introspective. Not a bit of it. No longer speaking in the first person he tells us: “It involved many tens of thousands of children over 15 years; we should be deeply ashamed of it.” The rest of Blackheath’s statement is equally interesting. He details how these children were shipped off to Australia (careful to mention this happens during a Labour government – Blackheath is a Tory boy); how the courts there refused to sanction any adoptions involving these children; and how subsequently, they all ended up on the streets. 2,500 children. On the streets. All on their own.
And then, he goes on to share his knowledge, common knowledge as it turns out, that many of these children over time were picked up by so called religious organisations who were in fact abusing children emotionally and physically. Two of these organisations appear to be infamous – The Sisters of Mercy, who were Catholic nuns, and the Christian Brothers, who were already known in government service as the “Christian buggers”. “Already known in government service”. How about that.
Blackheath also tells us:
“The rules of a Christian Brothers home were that if you were abused by one of the holy fathers, that was an act of god, and if you complained about the holy father, that was a sin against god and you would be flogged for it. By the way, the flogging was with a metal hacksaw replacement blade. It did not leave much of a kid… Any ship that was allowed to sail from that date on was allowed to sail in the knowledge that the inmates were going to be raped and abused.”
And yet Mr Blackheath did nothing. He did not utter a word.
A group of social workers at the time, though, did. And of course, they were ignored.

David Noel James, Baron James of Blackheath CBE (born 7 December 1937) is a British businessman and corporate troubleshooter and Conservative life peer.
James has had a varied career in the city of London. Between 1959 and 1964, he trained with Lloyds Bank, joining Ford Credit's launch team in 1964. He then became a director of many companies, often in trouble, to assist their recovery: in 1973 he joined Cork Gulley to rescue Cedar Holdings; in 1989 he was appointed chairman of Eagle Trust; other directorships have included British Shoe Corporation, LEP group, Dan-Air, North Sea Assets and Central & Sheerwood. During his time at Eagle Trust he triggered the Iraqi supergun affair. Whilst visiting Eagle-owned Walter Somers factory in Halesowen in 1990, he noticed the muzzle of what appeared to be a large gun. He informed MI6, giving them one of their first leads.[1]
[The Iraqi supergun affair, aka Project Babylon, was a project with unknown objectives commissioned by the then Iraqi president Saddam Hussein to build a series of "superguns". The design was based on research from the 1960s Project HARP led by the Canadian artillery expert Gerald Bull. There were most likely four different devices in the program
The project began in 1988; it was halted in 1990 after Gerald Bull was assassinated, and parts of these superguns were seized in transit around Europe...The second supergun, "Big Babylon"..would have been over 100 metres (300 feet) high at the tip. The complete device weighed about 2,100 tonnes (the barrel alone weighed 1,655 tons). It was a space gun intended to shoot projectiles into orbit, a theme of Bull's work since Project HARP. Neither of these devices could be elevated or trained, making them useless for direct military purposes...It is possible that Big Babylon was intended both to launch satellites and to serve as a weapon]
...In April 2006 it was announced that James had been nominated for a Life Peerage by the Conservative Party[3] The news had already been revealed in a list leaked to The Times[4] that eventually led to the Cash for Peerages scandal. James himself had given a relatively small amount to the Conservatives. He was created Baron James of Blackheath, of Wildbrooks in the County of West Sussex on 9 June 2006.[5]
In November 2010 Lord James claimed in the House of Lords that he had been approached by a secretive "megarich" organisation, which James referred to only as 'Foundation X', willing to lend billions of pounds, interest-free, to the UK government.[6]
He has worked as a Consultant for Cerberus Capital Management.[7]...James attracted some press and blog attention after a speech in the House of Lords on 1 November 2010, in which he claimed to have been approached by an unnamed organisation wishing to fund massive public works projects in the UK with vast currency reserves backed by gold bullion.[8][9] A Labour Party staff member and political blogger who wrote about the story[10] speculated that the organisation in question is the Office of International Treasury Control.[11] possibly an organisation though unknown or unacknowledged by any government to date. However, James has stated that he had not been approached by the Office of International Treasury Control, that there were no links between Foundation X and the Office of International Treasury Control,[12] that the Foundation X was a viable organisation, and that the offer was in good faith. Further, in the course of the recorded speech James uses a comparison to the "total value of the Vatican Bank Reserves" to denounce the validity of the "total amount of bullion ever taken from the earth's crust" as given by a "12-year-old issue of National Geographic" (the alleged single source for this figure), which had been used by Lord Strathclyde to dismiss the claim for the assets of Foundation X to be backed by bullion. In this speech Lord James of Blackheath neither identifies Foundation X with the Vatican or the Vatican Bank nor does he hint on any such connection.[13]
On Saturday 6 November 2010; the HM Treasury issued a statement which contradicted James' earlier claims; denying that any meeting took place between Lord James and Treasury commercial secretary Lord Sassoon and a representative of the group which had been referred to as 'Foundation-X'.[14]...James attracted some press[15][16] and blog[17] attention after another speech in the House of Lords on 16 February 2012, in which he claimed a massive $15 trillion money-laundering fraud from the United States Federal Reserve in the name of "Yohannes Riyadi" – a man who may or may not exist. James offered to provide evidence and asked for an official investigation (Hansard, transcription 16 February 2012, Column 1016, from 5.20 pm).[18]
In a debate which took place in the House of Lords yesterday on the Modern Slavery Bill, Lord Blackheath makes a startling revelation. He tells his fellow peers that whilst working for the Australian Civil Service in London, he was tasked with herding, as he puts it, small children on to boats at Tilbury, for transportation to Australia. Blackheath says:
“They did not have names; they did not know who their parents were, or where they came from, and they were completely terrified.”
He recounts that at the time, he was “deeply suspicious” of this practice, and had a strong feeling that the children did not have the proper permissions to travel. Since then, he has been likened to Jimmy Savile, although to his credit, he does say his rap sheet is worse.

MI5 accused of complicity in historical NI child sex abuse
via RT.com:
British intelligence agency MI5 faces allegations it covered up child sex abuse at a care home in east Belfast for decades to protect its intelligence operations, Northern Ireland’s high court will hear on Tuesday. Victims of child sex abuse which took place in Kincora Boys’ Home throughout the 1970s are pursuing a full independent inquiry into the matter. If successful, the victims’ legal challenge will result in a robust inquiry that compels key witnesses to testify. MI5 would also be forced to supply investigators with vital documents. The Belfast-based court case is the first to address the British state’s alleged links to the notorious care home in the 1970s. It begins on Tuesday, and is expected to continue throughout the week.
The Belfast-based court case is the first to address the British state’s alleged links to the notorious care home in the 1970s. It begins on Tuesday, and is expected to continue throughout the week. Former Kincora residents are calling for a full, independent inquiry into the British state’s collusion in the abuse, similar to the inquiry set up to investigate Westminster child abuse, chaired by judge Lowell Goddard. Goddard was recently appointed by Home Secretary Theresa May as the new head of Britain’s Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. May has conceded allegations of state involvement in the pedophile ring that infiltrated Kincora Boys' Home should be investigated.
She agreed in January that Britain’s Official Secrets Act should be waived to allow ex-military intelligence officers to come forward with evidence. Amnesty International describes the abuse at Kincora as “one of the biggest scandals of our age.” The rights group supports victims’ demands for an independent inquiry with full powers. Patrick Corrigan, Amnesty’s Northern Ireland Program Director, told RT:“The allegations could scarcely be more serious – that MI5 used a pedophile ring at the boys' home for its own intelligence-gathering purposes and then blocked police investigations which could have ended the abuse years before it was finally stopped. “If true, that means that the UK security services used vulnerable boys as nothing more than sexual bait in a blackmail trap. Some people talk about a 'dirty war' in Northern Ireland – but these allegations are stomach-churning and must be fully investigated with an inquiry with the full-powers to do so.
“If proven, those responsible must be held accountable before the law – whether perpetrators of abuse or those who perpetuated that abuse by allowing it continue for years. That would mean prosecutions and the prospect of prison to follow police investigations, and should also mean compensation for the victims.”
Lawyers representing the victims will argue that MI5 personnel had knowledge of the child abuse at Kincora, allowed it to continue, and were complicit in protecting those involved from investigation or prosecution, according to documents submitted to Belfast’s high court. One alleged victim, Gary Hoy, entered Kincora with his little brother in the 1970s. He claims the abuse he experienced there severely damaged him in later life.
In a sworn affidavit seen by the Guardian, he says, “I find it heart-wrenching that there were security men [who] could have been behind the abuse or involved in it … Because they were in positions of authority or supposed to be protecting the state they get away with it.”
Lawyers for Hoy will argue he suffered abuse at the care home, which is defined under article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as torture. Colin Wallace, a former military information officer based in Northern Ireland, said British MPs had been deceived about child abuse at Kincora Boys’ Home.
He told the Guardian there is undeniable evidence UK government agencies' cover-up of the abuse was concealed from Britain’s Parliament. However, victims’ demand for an inquiry with full powers was backed last week by Britain’s Home Affairs Select Committee. The committee recommended that Kincora be included in the ongoing child abuse inquiry ordered by Westminster.
Amnesty’s Northern Ireland Program Director, Patrick Corrigan, said the committee’s recommendation was bad news for those who want Kincora’s murky past to remain secret. “Nothing less than the inclusion of the Kincora home in this inquiry is liable to see the truth finally arrived at and justice finally delivered,” he told RT. A spokesperson for the Home Office, the government department responsible for MI5, said the government is collaborating fully with all “investigations into allegations" relating to the Kincora Boys’ Home. “It is not appropriate to comment further while these investigations are under way,” the spokesperson told the Guardian. Three senior staff at Kincora were imprisoned in 1981 for abusing 11 boys in their care. But it is feared the facility hosted many more abusers and victims between 1960 and 1980.
To this day, allegations prevail that a pedophile ring at the children's home was linked directly to the British intelligence services. Two ex-military intelligence officers insist MI5 blocked police inquiries into child abuse that occurred there in the 1970s. One officer says MI5 was complicit in the abuse that took place, while another claims he reported it to the security services, but no action was pursued.

Trauma-based mind control and ritual abuse of Austria's youngest children
The following article is an unusually well written account of a parent's struggle to hold Austrian authorities accountable for their complicity in covering up crimes against humanity. Bracketed statements in bold are my own commentary, where marked by ed.
via democratizeourknowledge.wordpress.com:
TRAUMA-BASED MIND CONTROL & RITUAL ABUSE OF AUSTRIA’S YOUNGEST CHILDREN
Over the years, Austria has become a perfect “Potemkin village,” having harbored the elite Nazi academy of physicians and psychiatrists during World War II in the city of Graz, Styria (SS-Ärztliche Akademie Graz), and currently harboring perpetrators behind the facade of a western democratic country, a country of trauma-based mind control slavery and organized abuse on children and toddlers. Within the last few years, Austria has been home to spectacular cases of child abuse/ritual abuse slavery. Criminal abuse cases such as “Natascha Kampusch’s” and “Elisabeth Fritzl’s” were never thoroughly examined (police superintendents ostensibly “killed themselves,” thereby protecting the pedophile network operating in the country); and it was all covered up by the same politically influenced top prosecution officer, Dr. Werner Pleischl, of the Socialist Party, that – with short interruptions – has ruled the country for decades.
I’ve disclosed to Austrian Authorities, in 300 pages, what my beloved son, then aged 2 ½ – 3, has shown me through endless tears and post-traumatic flashbacks, lying on the floor, crying, then partially fainting when the memories of the suffering and torment he had endured over the course of 18 or so visits with his father surfaced. His father is a man with a drug addiction, and a history in the Middle East’s secret service, where he obviously studied this type of torture, shortly before finishing his official education as a psychotherapist in Austria. With the help of Freemason-affiliated therapists and physicians, he subjected my son to ritual abuse/medical experiments in the tradition of MKUltra’s Dr. Mengele, resulting in trauma-based mind control.
Since 2011, it has been impossible to get my son examined by specialists. The more I found out, the more they would pressure me to back off – not only the perpetrators, but members of Austria’s highest courts. The torture my beloved son was suffering (and still is suffering) corresponded 1:1 with the scientific literature on trauma-based mind control and Satanic ritual abuse. When I originally submitted the 300 pages explaining the details of my son’s suffering, the flashbacks, etc., in hopes of getting him examined, and getting help for him, I hadn’t yet come across the term “trauma-based mind control and ritual abuse.” Their response was to claim I’d manipulated him into believing these things had happened to him. Then, ten months after I’d sent in the submission, I discovered the term, and hence the concept of this kind of criminal abuse, a hugely important epiphany for me. Now I understood what had happened to my son. When I again appealed to the courts, armed with these new insights, and included German scientific literature, they told me I was “delusional.”
The horrors my son endured included: ritual abuse, inflicted by people wearing masks; being forced to eat his own feces; being kept in a car trunk for ages; being anally raped and suffering other forms of sexual abuse; being drugged; being trained to be a baby prostitute (for both men and women) and bondage. He showed me that he’d been trained to literally beg on his knees, and that he knew about near-death experiences and dissociation. Medical torture included being castrated with a needle, and then told he would be a “girlie” (he knew about anesthesia masks used to induce narcosis). His ears were injured and his eyes blinded, he was told his brain would be ruined, and, last but not least, he had to suffer water-boarding and spinning.
After that the group of perpetrators celebrated his “birthday” in early summer (even though his actual birthday is in February), on lake Neusiedl, with many representatives of the Austrian establishment elite present. On this occasion, his core personality was completely polyfragmented, as was confirmed by English experts in 2013. Besides the physical torture, he had to bear the heavy burden of the guilt projected onto him by ritual abuse perpetrators, and had to swear oaths to the perpetrators while he was being tortured. He was also subjected to the usual “spiritual” programming, and many other types of programming, exactly as described in the scientific literature. Also, as frequently noted therein, they never left visible signs of injury.
I meticulously described all of this to Austrian courts in detailed reports, as well as describing our lives together before and after my son’s traumatization. First my beloved son became ill and did not recover for weeks, (all the Austrian doctors told me this was “normal” for his age – just starting kindergarten), and then later on his personality would change, suddenly, many times a day. Some of his personalities were even convinced that me, his mom, wanted all that to happen, and some parts were also convinced that it was me who’d done it to him. When I asked him where I would have done it, he answered, totally convinced, “at daddy’s house.” Before this, my little one was very advanced for his age (he knew his ABC’s at 1 ½ years old, and read his first word shortly thereafter), and, more importantly, he’d been thriving, in a home filled with love, confidence and happiness. After the trauma was uncovered, he was certain of one thing: Daddy would continue to perform experiments on him, and there would be no chance of escaping. Daddy would come with the police to get him – he was totally convinced that this would be the only “truth.”
Not knowing anything, at the time, about “trauma-based mind control” and the powerful establishment being allowed to commit such crimes, (with the complicity of powerful politicians) instead of leaving the country immediately with my beloved son, I pleaded with the Austrian authorities to have him examined, thereby effectively asking – without knowing it – the perpetrators and their network for help with my son.
The evidence I have for the trauma-based mind control process, and for my son’s suffering, is overwhelming – not just from the standpoint of a highly concerned mother, but also as an expert researcher. I’ve collected documented evidence (including demonstrably false Austrian court judgments), evidence that connects the beastly torture of Dr. Mengele during the Holocaust to present-day torture in Austria, and evidence of what my son and others have testified to on audiotape. I can show proof of connections between Freemasons of all political backgrounds and religious networks, and last but not least I am able to prove, through pictures and video recordings, that in the beginning my son was one of the happiest children on earth, and then, after being profoundly and repeatedly traumatized through beastly, sadistic torture, under the guise of medical experimentation, he was psychologically shattered. And in spite of all of this, the authorities tell me that my programmed child will receive no justice, that there will not even be a case filed with the courts. Early on, my son’s father, Farrokh Sadegh, took photos and made videotapes of my baby boy, showcasing him to the Austrian elite for their future amusement and gratification: literally fucking and torturing a toddler into an irreversible illness. In other words, into a multiple personality or dissociation disorder in order to then create a mental slave. Meanwhile, I’m not even sure this person is his real father; as is often noted in relevant scientific literature, the powers that be sometimes administer knockout drugs to mask true paternity. My appeals to the courts for a paternity test were totally ignored.
Actually, the strategy Austrian authorities used from the very first day on was to ignore the research and evidence I sent to the courts, which included audiotapes and photos as well as manuscripts, and to misrepresent me as a criminally insane woman in their official judgments. Their strategy also included depriving both me and my son of any legal or medical help. With demonstrably falsified judgments that were so blatant they were nearly embarrassing, they got themselves deeply involved, and risked serious consequences, as even high officials could easily be accused of slavery based on the evidence, an offense that is, at least in Austria, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. To avoid exposure and accountability, I was made out to be a liar, a bitch, a bungler, a perpetrator, a squealer and a lunatic:
This is reminiscent of the times of the Inquisition – the execution of William Wallace, or the defamation of Joan of Arc. Such dire indicators have been, in any era, a sign of political desperation and helplessness. Pedophiles, Satanists/psychopaths, physicians and lawyers, standing shoulder to shoulder in the tradition of the feudal jus primae noctis, ignoring even scientific literature I submitted to Austrian courts, the youth welfare department, and psychiatrists/psychotherapists who were directly involved. Again, the more I was able to prove, the more counter-pressure I was subjected to, in spite of the fact that my only aim was ever and still is to save my son’s life, to be there for him night and day as a mother, and to help him to find his way in life as a survivor of this beastly crime.
The whole case reads like a manual for trauma-based mind control/ritual abuse-torture. It actually began long before I even met my ex-husband, Farrokh Sadegh Eslami; it had been well planned for years. This is evidenced by the fact that all relevant facts were ignored by the prosecution office in Vienna from the first day on, and all the necessary connections were already in place, from individuals to all kinds of (international) institutions and agencies (Bilderberg, the CIA, Corps Diplomatique, etc., with their complicit cadre of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, etc.). And then you have me, a 43 year old feminist, with academic degrees in comparative literature, with a specialization in feminist literature and theory (master’s), and in statistics, with a specialization in market research, who is also a social worker/counselor, who has worked her whole life to be able to finance her studies. A woman who was forcibly separated from her beloved son when she found out too much, too much about certain criminals and their associated networks – mostly by chance, but then confirmed by a former friend, and my son who nearly fainted upon recognizing his perpetrators. Both also told me one thing they both witnessed: There were many more people present than those he recognized and had shown me in pictures.
In spite of my grievances and protests, the corrupt pedophile network was able to grow like a cancerous ulcer day by day, even with me flying to London from Vienna in July of 2013 to get help from experts on trauma-based mind control and ritual abuse (as this crime does not exist, I was told, in Austria). Even today, everything I do seems to only help the pedophile network connect internationally much better, and to help them hide one thing – their true agenda: Austria should be the new pedophile Mecca, Austria should become the new manufacturer of many more trauma-based mind control child slaves. Austria never stopped supporting the beastly research of Dr. Mengele, and Austria can count on its own population, as what they are willing to accept was proven during the Holocaust. Austrians still unabashedly regard child abuse as a trivial offense, for the simple reason expressed in the old adage, the inherent guarantee of impunity for trauma-based mind control slavery: “If there is no prosecutor, there will be no judge.”
Having learned so much about this type of systemic abuse, the insidious modus operandi of these networks, and the trauma-based mind control procedures (which have been officially documented) and having discovered the reams of scientific literature that exist internationally on this topic, I want to share my research results, especially within the German speaking countries (where this crime is nearly unknown), to help my son and other children. In every government there is a demand for slave-soldiers, willing to do anything, ideally without remembering anything afterwards, as has been documented in films like The Manchurian Candidate and Bourne Identity, and in books like The Trance Formation of America by Cathy O’Brien.
The end results of having been programmed to be a slave are interesting: even some Hollywood actors and pop stars are said to have received this “treatment,” as has been documented, for example, at http://vigilantcitizen.com/ [ed: In my experience, that particular website is a dubious source for any information excepting the presence of occult symbolism in pop media. Most allegations about Monarch programming on the site appear to be based on speculation instead of personal testimony, such as what is presented in this article.], ignoring the incredible sufferings these slaves had to go through since their early childhood, the precise methods of torture dependent on the type of programming they had, which kind of slave was desired, etc., which is described in detail on http://endritualabuse.org/ or on www.svalispeaks.com.
English speaking researchers have been writing about this topic for decades, like Fritz Springmeier/Cisco Wheeler, David Icke, Alex Jones and even US senators such as Nancy Schaeffer and John DeCamp. Only one question remains: How is it that the western world, a world that would give shelter to refugees from third world countries, could allow such crimes to be committed within the European community, behaving worse than in Nazi times? These atrocities committed against individual people are more monstrous than those committed against groups of people, as the crimes remain invisible, and isolate the victims, facilitating their utter annihilation.
According to Fritz Springmeier, a whistleblower who has served jail time on false charges:
There are many dangers to the human race, some real and some imagined. I believe that the trauma-based mind control…is the greatest danger to the human race. It gives evil men the power to carry out any evil deeds totally undetected. Over the years, I have spent thousands of hours studying the Illuminati, the Intelligence agencies of the world, and the occult world in general. The centerpiece of these organizations is the trauma-based mind control that they carry out. Without the ability to carry out this sophisticated type of mind-control using MPD (multiple personality disorder), drugs, hypnosis and electronics and other control methodologies, these organizations would fail to keep their dark evil deeds secret.

As I predicted four years ago, in writing, to the prosecution office in Vienna, when I still had my beloved, highly traumatized son with me and was pleading for examinations, the only option this clique had, as a defensive strategy, was to claim that I’m insane and that it was me who caused all my son’s injuries. In this way the Freemasonic perpetrators, with their intrinsic media, political and military power, could present themselves as the rescuers. I also predicted that the perpetrators would present themselves as “victims,” and “do-gooders,” as human beings compelled to change society for the better (after having profited enormously from their crimes – better jobs, salaries, status, etc.). English experts told me that it’s even possible they could be using my son to blackmail other people into becoming members, or committing crimes for them, by using proof that they were involved in sadistic rituals with him. The Austrian authorities never even allowed me and my son to be temporarily accommodated in supervised housing, to give authorities the chance to see how traumatized my son is, how highly adept I am at dealing with my tortured little one, how much love and nurturing he got from me as we began the process of healing. This would have been too threatening for the perpetrators. I even asked the courts many times to officially charge me, so that at least my beloved son could get therapeutic help and begin to heal but even this represented too big a threat to them. They were already aware of the fact that trauma-based mind control, the development of multiple personality disorder, is irreversible, without years and years of therapeutic work and that this kind of crime is almost never committed by a single person. So, authorities and their officials even falsified the reports of the supervised meetings we were allowed to have, which, again, I can prove with audiotapes, and even the youth welfare department demonstrably falsified their reports, even mocking, in writing, the injuries my son suffered instead of helping him. Reading their scornful words about my son’s suffering, especially after having separated us, was breaking my heart over and over. Their message to me was clear: As long as you keep talking, we will torture your beloved son, and we’ll make it look like it’s officially sanctioned.
Because I’ve mentioned the names of the perpetrators and am able to prove they’re connected to this international pedophile/ritual abuse/trauma-based mind control network, I now, naturally, face more and more retaliatory pressure. Already even my own family has threatened me, mocking and even laughing at my son’s post-traumatic flashbacks. I’ve been told: “If you dare to mention the names of the powerful people in the group, we will have you committed to a psychiatric asylum. You, for the first time in your life, have to shut up and crawl.” I also received death threats – that I would die either “instantaneously,” “by cancer,” “by a car accident,” through “psychiatric treatment” or by the use of “invisible weapons.” The same, I was told, could happen to my beloved son.
But to not reveal the names would be a betrayal to my son, as well as to all the other young children and their beloved parents getting “soul-murdered” by trauma-based mind control and ritual abuse, a betrayal to the principles of humanity. Not to stand up against this complete lack of empathy would make me a perpetrator as well; my silence would amount to complicity with the pedophile establishment – the alliance of Austrian Freemasons and their international “brotherhoods,” and would, in effect, condone their “scientific research” for military purposes and their Satanic/psychopathic rituals.
My son is still being tortured and programmed to protect the perpetrators and their establishment. I still have no access to any legal help at all, and have been told that everyone fears this powerful network too much to come to my aid. Without legal help, I have no way to regain custody of my beloved son, to protect him from the ongoing torture, to help him heal, to support and nurture him, to give him the love of his beloved mother. This is an unmitigated nightmare.
In Germany and Austria, people who talk about these things are generally imprisoned or sent to psychiatric asylums. Nevertheless, a few of them do write about the political context of such cases, as they do in America. In the UK, as I observed first-hand, they’re aggressively taking on some of these networks, as in the case of Jimmy Savile and his cohorts. But usually they only prosecute isolated individuals, and only posthumously or not until they’re very old, as in the case of “Rolf” and his friends. They’re willing to investigate and officially expose some of these crimes, but decades, 20-40 years, after the fact. Only then will they publicly acknowledge the political context of these crimes, the fact that their organizations are made up of people from all parties, religious groups and judiciary systems. Meanwhile, cases involving young children are still ignored. Take the case of the Italian woman who got a caesarean on the basis of a weak and vague report about alleged mental health problems, and then being told afterwards that her baby would be given up for adoption. The universal strategy seems to be silencing witnesses and victims (even most help centers seem to be operating under a gag order when it comes to trauma-based mind control, or even infiltrated), and using character assassination, in the tradition of manus manum lavat.
A large number of the Austrian perpetrators I came across were abused as toddlers/children themselves, which is not surprising – without truth there can be no healing. And as long as it’s too socially shaming (especially) for men, and as long it’s too dangerous (especially) for women to shout out the truth about what they had to suffer in their childhood, they can find neither peace nor healing. As has quite often been observed over the last few years, even in the mainstream media, you can’t tell who is or isn’t a Satanist or psychopath, they look just like us. They can only be identified by their deeds: character assassination within their private or official networks, scapegoating outsiders, or using blackmail, often enjoying powerful positions to make themselves more and more untouchable in terms of accountability. They are also extremely adept at presenting themselves as do-gooders, even victims.
As Heath Ledger, an alleged trauma-based mind control victim himself, said as his last line in the film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus as well as his last line as an actor: “Don’t shoot the messenger.”
If you know anything about the paedocriminal network in Austria or other German speaking countries, or foreign connections to this network – entities helping secret agencies to support and expand a trauma-based mind control organization (set up to produce slaves on an industrial scale) – please let me know. Also, if you have any information about how to take legal action against these crimes, especially in terms of children’s rights or anything at all that could help my boy or help us stay together, please let me know.
As the crime of trauma-based mind control /MK-ultra is nearly entirely unknown to the public in German speaking countries, any and every tip in regards to evidence of this is highly appreciated.
Also, if you need help with your own case, in terms of information or publishing your story, please feel free to contact me. If you want to help us with translations for http://www.traumabasedmindcontrol.com, etc., any help is greatly appreciated.

TRAUMA-BASED MIND CONTROL & RITUAL ABUSE OF AUSTRIA’S YOUNGEST CHILDREN
Over the years, Austria has become a perfect “Potemkin village,” having harbored the elite Nazi academy of physicians and psychiatrists during World War II in the city of Graz, Styria (SS-Ärztliche Akademie Graz), and currently harboring perpetrators behind the facade of a western democratic country, a country of trauma-based mind control slavery and organized abuse on children and toddlers. Within the last few years, Austria has been home to spectacular cases of child abuse/ritual abuse slavery. Criminal abuse cases such as “Natascha Kampusch’s” and “Elisabeth Fritzl’s” were never thoroughly examined (police superintendents ostensibly “killed themselves,” thereby protecting the pedophile network operating in the country); and it was all covered up by the same politically influenced top prosecution officer, Dr. Werner Pleischl, of the Socialist Party, that – with short interruptions – has ruled the country for decades.
I’ve disclosed to Austrian Authorities, in 300 pages, what my beloved son, then aged 2 ½ – 3, has shown me through endless tears and post-traumatic flashbacks, lying on the floor, crying, then partially fainting when the memories of the suffering and torment he had endured over the course of 18 or so visits with his father surfaced. His father is a man with a drug addiction, and a history in the Middle East’s secret service, where he obviously studied this type of torture, shortly before finishing his official education as a psychotherapist in Austria. With the help of Freemason-affiliated therapists and physicians, he subjected my son to ritual abuse/medical experiments in the tradition of MKUltra’s Dr. Mengele, resulting in trauma-based mind control.
Since 2011, it has been impossible to get my son examined by specialists. The more I found out, the more they would pressure me to back off – not only the perpetrators, but members of Austria’s highest courts. The torture my beloved son was suffering (and still is suffering) corresponded 1:1 with the scientific literature on trauma-based mind control and Satanic ritual abuse. When I originally submitted the 300 pages explaining the details of my son’s suffering, the flashbacks, etc., in hopes of getting him examined, and getting help for him, I hadn’t yet come across the term “trauma-based mind control and ritual abuse.” Their response was to claim I’d manipulated him into believing these things had happened to him. Then, ten months after I’d sent in the submission, I discovered the term, and hence the concept of this kind of criminal abuse, a hugely important epiphany for me. Now I understood what had happened to my son. When I again appealed to the courts, armed with these new insights, and included German scientific literature, they told me I was “delusional.”
The horrors my son endured included: ritual abuse, inflicted by people wearing masks; being forced to eat his own feces; being kept in a car trunk for ages; being anally raped and suffering other forms of sexual abuse; being drugged; being trained to be a baby prostitute (for both men and women) and bondage. He showed me that he’d been trained to literally beg on his knees, and that he knew about near-death experiences and dissociation. Medical torture included being castrated with a needle, and then told he would be a “girlie” (he knew about anesthesia masks used to induce narcosis). His ears were injured and his eyes blinded, he was told his brain would be ruined, and, last but not least, he had to suffer water-boarding and spinning.
After that the group of perpetrators celebrated his “birthday” in early summer (even though his actual birthday is in February), on lake Neusiedl, with many representatives of the Austrian establishment elite present. On this occasion, his core personality was completely polyfragmented, as was confirmed by English experts in 2013. Besides the physical torture, he had to bear the heavy burden of the guilt projected onto him by ritual abuse perpetrators, and had to swear oaths to the perpetrators while he was being tortured. He was also subjected to the usual “spiritual” programming, and many other types of programming, exactly as described in the scientific literature. Also, as frequently noted therein, they never left visible signs of injury.
I meticulously described all of this to Austrian courts in detailed reports, as well as describing our lives together before and after my son’s traumatization. First my beloved son became ill and did not recover for weeks, (all the Austrian doctors told me this was “normal” for his age – just starting kindergarten), and then later on his personality would change, suddenly, many times a day. Some of his personalities were even convinced that me, his mom, wanted all that to happen, and some parts were also convinced that it was me who’d done it to him. When I asked him where I would have done it, he answered, totally convinced, “at daddy’s house.” Before this, my little one was very advanced for his age (he knew his ABC’s at 1 ½ years old, and read his first word shortly thereafter), and, more importantly, he’d been thriving, in a home filled with love, confidence and happiness. After the trauma was uncovered, he was certain of one thing: Daddy would continue to perform experiments on him, and there would be no chance of escaping. Daddy would come with the police to get him – he was totally convinced that this would be the only “truth.”
Not knowing anything, at the time, about “trauma-based mind control” and the powerful establishment being allowed to commit such crimes, (with the complicity of powerful politicians) instead of leaving the country immediately with my beloved son, I pleaded with the Austrian authorities to have him examined, thereby effectively asking – without knowing it – the perpetrators and their network for help with my son.
The evidence I have for the trauma-based mind control process, and for my son’s suffering, is overwhelming – not just from the standpoint of a highly concerned mother, but also as an expert researcher. I’ve collected documented evidence (including demonstrably false Austrian court judgments), evidence that connects the beastly torture of Dr. Mengele during the Holocaust to present-day torture in Austria, and evidence of what my son and others have testified to on audiotape. I can show proof of connections between Freemasons of all political backgrounds and religious networks, and last but not least I am able to prove, through pictures and video recordings, that in the beginning my son was one of the happiest children on earth, and then, after being profoundly and repeatedly traumatized through beastly, sadistic torture, under the guise of medical experimentation, he was psychologically shattered. And in spite of all of this, the authorities tell me that my programmed child will receive no justice, that there will not even be a case filed with the courts. Early on, my son’s father, Farrokh Sadegh, took photos and made videotapes of my baby boy, showcasing him to the Austrian elite for their future amusement and gratification: literally fucking and torturing a toddler into an irreversible illness. In other words, into a multiple personality or dissociation disorder in order to then create a mental slave. Meanwhile, I’m not even sure this person is his real father; as is often noted in relevant scientific literature, the powers that be sometimes administer knockout drugs to mask true paternity. My appeals to the courts for a paternity test were totally ignored.
Actually, the strategy Austrian authorities used from the very first day on was to ignore the research and evidence I sent to the courts, which included audiotapes and photos as well as manuscripts, and to misrepresent me as a criminally insane woman in their official judgments. Their strategy also included depriving both me and my son of any legal or medical help. With demonstrably falsified judgments that were so blatant they were nearly embarrassing, they got themselves deeply involved, and risked serious consequences, as even high officials could easily be accused of slavery based on the evidence, an offense that is, at least in Austria, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. To avoid exposure and accountability, I was made out to be a liar, a bitch, a bungler, a perpetrator, a squealer and a lunatic:
This is reminiscent of the times of the Inquisition – the execution of William Wallace, or the defamation of Joan of Arc. Such dire indicators have been, in any era, a sign of political desperation and helplessness. Pedophiles, Satanists/psychopaths, physicians and lawyers, standing shoulder to shoulder in the tradition of the feudal jus primae noctis, ignoring even scientific literature I submitted to Austrian courts, the youth welfare department, and psychiatrists/psychotherapists who were directly involved. Again, the more I was able to prove, the more counter-pressure I was subjected to, in spite of the fact that my only aim was ever and still is to save my son’s life, to be there for him night and day as a mother, and to help him to find his way in life as a survivor of this beastly crime.
The whole case reads like a manual for trauma-based mind control/ritual abuse-torture. It actually began long before I even met my ex-husband, Farrokh Sadegh Eslami; it had been well planned for years. This is evidenced by the fact that all relevant facts were ignored by the prosecution office in Vienna from the first day on, and all the necessary connections were already in place, from individuals to all kinds of (international) institutions and agencies (Bilderberg, the CIA, Corps Diplomatique, etc., with their complicit cadre of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, etc.). And then you have me, a 43 year old feminist, with academic degrees in comparative literature, with a specialization in feminist literature and theory (master’s), and in statistics, with a specialization in market research, who is also a social worker/counselor, who has worked her whole life to be able to finance her studies. A woman who was forcibly separated from her beloved son when she found out too much, too much about certain criminals and their associated networks – mostly by chance, but then confirmed by a former friend, and my son who nearly fainted upon recognizing his perpetrators. Both also told me one thing they both witnessed: There were many more people present than those he recognized and had shown me in pictures.
In spite of my grievances and protests, the corrupt pedophile network was able to grow like a cancerous ulcer day by day, even with me flying to London from Vienna in July of 2013 to get help from experts on trauma-based mind control and ritual abuse (as this crime does not exist, I was told, in Austria). Even today, everything I do seems to only help the pedophile network connect internationally much better, and to help them hide one thing – their true agenda: Austria should be the new pedophile Mecca, Austria should become the new manufacturer of many more trauma-based mind control child slaves. Austria never stopped supporting the beastly research of Dr. Mengele, and Austria can count on its own population, as what they are willing to accept was proven during the Holocaust. Austrians still unabashedly regard child abuse as a trivial offense, for the simple reason expressed in the old adage, the inherent guarantee of impunity for trauma-based mind control slavery: “If there is no prosecutor, there will be no judge.”
Having learned so much about this type of systemic abuse, the insidious modus operandi of these networks, and the trauma-based mind control procedures (which have been officially documented) and having discovered the reams of scientific literature that exist internationally on this topic, I want to share my research results, especially within the German speaking countries (where this crime is nearly unknown), to help my son and other children. In every government there is a demand for slave-soldiers, willing to do anything, ideally without remembering anything afterwards, as has been documented in films like The Manchurian Candidate and Bourne Identity, and in books like The Trance Formation of America by Cathy O’Brien.
The end results of having been programmed to be a slave are interesting: even some Hollywood actors and pop stars are said to have received this “treatment,” as has been documented, for example, at http://vigilantcitizen.com/ [ed: In my experience, that particular website is a dubious source for any information excepting the presence of occult symbolism in pop media. Most allegations about Monarch programming on the site appear to be based on speculation instead of personal testimony, such as what is presented in this article.], ignoring the incredible sufferings these slaves had to go through since their early childhood, the precise methods of torture dependent on the type of programming they had, which kind of slave was desired, etc., which is described in detail on http://endritualabuse.org/ or on www.svalispeaks.com.
English speaking researchers have been writing about this topic for decades, like Fritz Springmeier/Cisco Wheeler, David Icke, Alex Jones and even US senators such as Nancy Schaeffer and John DeCamp. Only one question remains: How is it that the western world, a world that would give shelter to refugees from third world countries, could allow such crimes to be committed within the European community, behaving worse than in Nazi times? These atrocities committed against individual people are more monstrous than those committed against groups of people, as the crimes remain invisible, and isolate the victims, facilitating their utter annihilation.
According to Fritz Springmeier, a whistleblower who has served jail time on false charges:
There are many dangers to the human race, some real and some imagined. I believe that the trauma-based mind control…is the greatest danger to the human race. It gives evil men the power to carry out any evil deeds totally undetected. Over the years, I have spent thousands of hours studying the Illuminati, the Intelligence agencies of the world, and the occult world in general. The centerpiece of these organizations is the trauma-based mind control that they carry out. Without the ability to carry out this sophisticated type of mind-control using MPD (multiple personality disorder), drugs, hypnosis and electronics and other control methodologies, these organizations would fail to keep their dark evil deeds secret.

In this way the Freemasonic perpetrators, with their intrinsic media, political and military power, could present themselves as the rescuers. I also predicted that the perpetrators would present themselves as “victims,” and “do-gooders,” as human beings compelled to change society for the better (after having profited enormously from their crimes – better jobs, salaries, status, etc.). English experts told me that it’s even possible they could be using my son to blackmail other people into becoming members, or committing crimes for them, by using proof that they were involved in sadistic rituals with him. The Austrian authorities never even allowed me and my son to be temporarily accommodated in supervised housing, to give authorities the chance to see how traumatized my son is, how highly adept I am at dealing with my tortured little one, how much love and nurturing he got from me as we began the process of healing. This would have been too threatening for the perpetrators. I even asked the courts many times to officially charge me, so that at least my beloved son could get therapeutic help and begin to heal but even this represented too big a threat to them. They were already aware of the fact that trauma-based mind control, the development of multiple personality disorder, is irreversible, without years and years of therapeutic work and that this kind of crime is almost never committed by a single person. So, authorities and their officials even falsified the reports of the supervised meetings we were allowed to have, which, again, I can prove with audiotapes, and even the youth welfare department demonstrably falsified their reports, even mocking, in writing, the injuries my son suffered instead of helping him. Reading their scornful words about my son’s suffering, especially after having separated us, was breaking my heart over and over. Their message to me was clear: As long as you keep talking, we will torture your beloved son, and we’ll make it look like it’s officially sanctioned.
Because I’ve mentioned the names of the perpetrators and am able to prove they’re connected to this international pedophile/ritual abuse/trauma-based mind control network, I now, naturally, face more and more retaliatory pressure. Already even my own family has threatened me, mocking and even laughing at my son’s post-traumatic flashbacks. I’ve been told: “If you dare to mention the names of the powerful people in the group, we will have you committed to a psychiatric asylum. You, for the first time in your life, have to shut up and crawl.” I also received death threats – that I would die either “instantaneously,” “by cancer,” “by a car accident,” through “psychiatric treatment” or by the use of “invisible weapons.” The same, I was told, could happen to my beloved son.
But to not reveal the names would be a betrayal to my son, as well as to all the other young children and their beloved parents getting “soul-murdered” by trauma-based mind control and ritual abuse, a betrayal to the principles of humanity. Not to stand up against this complete lack of empathy would make me a perpetrator as well; my silence would amount to complicity with the pedophile establishment – the alliance of Austrian Freemasons and their international “brotherhoods,” and would, in effect, condone their “scientific research” for military purposes and their Satanic/psychopathic rituals.
My son is still being tortured and programmed to protect the perpetrators and their establishment. I still have no access to any legal help at all, and have been told that everyone fears this powerful network too much to come to my aid. Without legal help, I have no way to regain custody of my beloved son, to protect him from the ongoing torture, to help him heal, to support and nurture him, to give him the love of his beloved mother. This is an unmitigated nightmare.
