SHOCKING VIDEO SHOWS HOW CAPTURED PROFESSIONALS CONVINCE KIDS THEY ARE TRANS
social workers and psyche professionals have done it before
To fully understand the trans craze — let’s revisit an explosive story I reported during an earlier time when temporary insanity also took over psychotherapy. The travesties being perpetrated today by teachers, therapists and doctors on children, many of them emotionally vulnerable — is not unprecedented. We’ve been here before and I’m offering the videotape and the historical evidence to prove it. Stick with me. This is complicated but it will blow your mind.
In the 80s and early 90s, social work and psyche professionals came to believe without hard evidence or proof that a massive, global, child abusing, cannibalistic satanic cult had taken over daycares in North America and elsewhere. A corollary was that grown women with no memory of having been sexuallly abused by this cult, had developed so-called multiple personalities to cope. Women were said to be manifesting dozens of unique alters with foreign accents, different genders and even alter infants, animals and stuffed toys. Under leading questioning, children were reporting stories that on their face were not possible — defying the laws of physics and medicine.
And yet skepticism, like with the legislated affirmative approach to treating “trans” young people, was forbidden. Virtually all of this was based only the testimonies of the patients/children - gleaned in one way or another from interviews with true believing psychologists and social workers. Media, police and the courts for a time bought into the hysteria.
It was all started by a Canadian book — Michelle Remembers written by Michelle Smith’s psychiatrist and later husband, Lawrence Pazder. Media assumed his credentials conferred credibility on an impossible story that started a dangerous, and soon out of control trend. From the National Post:
Published in 1980 and written by Smith’s psychiatrist, Lawrence Pazder, it is the purported “true story” of Smith’s childhood as the prisoner of a Satanic cult in Victoria in the mid-1950s.
The entire book comes from 600 hours of Smith’s testimony in Pazder’s office, delivered in the voice of a child while she was in a trance-like state.
In halting half-sentences, Smith told Pazder of being driven into a Satanic cult by her mother at five years old.
“You’re not mine anymore, Michelle. You belong to the Devil,” her mother reportedly says.
Over months of imprisonment, she is forced to drink urine, eat cannibalized flesh, bathe in the blood of dismembered babies, participate in ritual murders and endure a cage filled with snakes and spiders.
In the climax, Smith encounters Satan himself in a “Feast of the Beast” organized by her oppressors, but is ultimately saved by the direct intervention of the Virgin Mary.
Through lawsuits and critical reporting like I did for The Fifth Estate in 1991, the panic and widespread diagnosing of MPD and satanic ritual abuse died off — but there was never a reckoning inside the professions that wreaked havoc on the lives of so many.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, hundreds if not thousands of innocent people would fall victim to this dangerous psychotherapeutic ideology.
British Prime Minister Edward Heath was falsely accused of being a member of an underground cult that murdered and ate 16 children.
A California daycare was shut down and its staff arrested after police received false reports that children had been forced to witness ritualistic killings of animals and babies.
In the small town of Martensville, Saskatchewan, more than a dozen people were formally charged as the members of a Satanic cult that locked children in cages and forced them to witness brutal murders.
There wasn’t a lick of proof to back up any of this: No photos, no guilt-ridden former Satanists stepping forward to confess their crimes, no forensic evidence of the thousands of purported human sacrifices murdered by these cults.
It was, quite simply, a case of temporary global insanity. And it all started with a single lurid Canadian book.
“You never see him all at once—he’s always distorted and he’s not quite substantial, more like a vapor … It turns to look at me and it’s all uhhh l-l-l-like all black …I’m scared! Scared. I’m scared!” goes the passage in Michelle Remembers describing Michelle Smith’s encounter with Satan.
Although the two films we did were eventually added to the curriculum at Harvard medical school, they have been essentially buried by the CBC or repurposed by a new generation of its reporters who use titillating clips but don’t fully understand what happened. And today this horror is often blamed by legacy media on conservative Christians, QAnon and far-right players but in fact if was left-leaning professionals and academic feminists who drove the panic.
Like with C-19 dissidents and satanic panic critics, doubters were cast out, no matter how august their credentials. As reporters investigating this phenomenon, we were accused of hating children and siding with the devil.
Psychologist and memory expert Elizabeth Loftus, whom I deeply admire had to attend professional conferences with her own physical security top-of-mind — so profoundly was she hated for speaking truth through her research in a time of collective hysteria. I believe we are living through another one of those times exploding around the gender/trans experiment.
Loftus is a legend in her field but to this day she is sometimes trashed because her research findings don’t line up with the virtuous insanity that produced the underpinning philosophy behind the MPD/SRA/Recovered memory movement: even if you don’t remember being abused — but just feel like you were, then it’s true. Children and women are never wrong when they make an allegation. If you doubted this tribal Catechism — you were excommunicated. Decades later this thinking was the gateway to the ethically dodgy Me Too and Times Up movements with slogans like Believe All Women.
All of this only exists in a world where evidence is less important than feelings. Where therapists and other experts see themselves as great rescuing heroes who must set the national agenda. Doubt is evil. I hope you are noticing the paradigm here.
They pushed impossible stories of mass infant sacrifices and murders plus the rape of toddlers without any physical or forensic evidence to support their claims. The children carried no bodily signs of the horror they were lead/coached to recount to zealous proponents interviewing them. No remains of ritually sacrificed babies were ever recovered but police and prosecutors were harassed by advocacy groups to proceed in cases that should never have been brought.
Thirty years later, with so-called trans children and youth — it is highly likely that there is a vehicle of contagion being driven by true-believers in those very same professions.
Ask yourself what is more likely — that all of a sudden children began reporting plus under hypnosis, grown women begin remembering torture at the hands of a worldwide satanic cult. And now, decades later, suddenly, children are discovering they are in the wrong body? Or that exposure to captured professionals and now the internet, has spread a contagion to vulnerable children and troubled adults? It’s obvious what makes the most sense and yet in both of these strange outbreaks — questioning was forbidden. In Canada and elsewhere — therapists are not allowed to probe trans patients to see if some other issue might be the cause of their beliefs. Affirmation is the only way.
Our Fifth Estate investigative team gained extraordinary access to people driving the MPD/satanic panic scare and uncovered how easily bad ideas can take hold in certain professions. Meet Louise Edwards — a child therapist and satanic ritual abuse expert from BC, paid by the Manitoba government in 1990 to teach other professionals how to spot ritual abuse in their young, suggestable patients.
Here is the Manitoba Health Minister at the height of the panic, announcing a conference on SRA - for training purposes. Governments in Canada, UK, USA and Australia and New Zealand all convened conferences with experts and of course outbreaks of satanic ritual abuse followed.
Listed as an expert is Louise Edwards — who was never able to produce the baby wax candle we requested for testing.
I understand that these days we don’t trust the FBI like we used to and we shouldn’t -as it seems to have become an arm of the Democratic Party. But in the 80s and 90s Agent Ken Lanning who appeared in our doc was an honourable investigator who spoke out at a time when it was dangerous to do so. I personally followed up with police on some cases reported by MPD patients being treated at the Royal Ottawa Hospital — and nothing ever panned-out, no matter how extreme the claims, including murder. As Agent Lanning said:
The evidence wasn’t there, but the allegations of satanic ritual abuse never really went away, said Ken Lanning, a former F.B.I. agent who worked on hundreds of abuse cases with the bureau’s behavioral science unit. When people get emotionally involved in an issue, common sense and reason go out the window. People believe what they want and need to believe.
The McMartin Preschool case was most famous satanic case ever prosecuted. Some of the claims were so bizarre one of the prosecutors actually quit.
In 1986, prosecutors charged seven employees with more than 100 counts of child molestation and conspiracy. A week later, they dropped the charges against five defendants, citing weak evidence. All the defendants maintained their innocence.
By then, the case was a national spectacle, and prosecutors pursued it despite growing doubts about the original accuser’s story and a variety of fantastical claims from interviews, including a “goatman,” bloody animal sacrifices, a school employee who could fly and acts of violence that left no physical trace. But the trial would not end for years, with no convictions, and prosecutors around the country started dozens of cases like it.
…
Nearly 200 people were charged with crimes over the course of the satanic panic, and dozens were convicted. Many defendants were eventually freed, sometimes after years. Three Arkansas teenagers who became known as the West Memphis Three were freed in 2011, almost 20 years after they were convicted of murders that prosecutors portrayed as a satanic sacrifice. In 2013, a Texas couple were released after 21 years in prison; they were later awarded $3.4 million from a state fund for wrongful convictions.
In 1992, Mr. Lanning, the F.B.I. agent, released an investigative guide that explained his skepticism of satanic abuse claims. Two years later, researchers with the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect found that investigators could not substantiate any of roughly 12,000 accusations of group cult sexual abuse based on satanic ritual.
The woman who interviewed hundreds of children in the McMartin Preschool prosecution used leading and suggestive methods that have since been discredited. The tapes of Kee MacFarlane’s questioning are sealed — perhaps forever and she hasn’t spoken about her role in the case in decades. But this shows how vulnerable to suggestion children can be. Put them in a classroom with indoctrinated teachers, sparkle-pony gender decor and rewards for claiming gender confusion and you’ve got a trans epidemic.
This week’s show with Mia Hughes was a pleasure to record. She is bright, curious and a real-live investigative journalist. 9/11 taught me that my former profession, one that I had so loved — was no more. C-19 drove the final nail deep into legacy media’s fetid coffin. But she gives me some hope.
Mia who wrote the WPATH Files — an investigative look at the global transgender healthcare authority - is an historic piece of journalism. Leaked documents and video show widespread medical malpractice on children and vulnerable adults. Please read the report, published on Michael Shellenberger’s Environmental Progress platform.
In the interview Mia and I discussed how much this craze in medicine and psychiatry resembles the multiple personality/satanic ritual abuse moral panic of the 80s and 90s. She didn’t include this in the WPATH investigation but I’m hoping she will pick up where we left off and make this her next project.
She and I had a great discussion about how these initially fringe phenomena were nurtured and even created by experts who lost their ability to think critically. There is even correspondence in the WPATH files showing that the gender movement’s health care authority is recycling MPD - now called Dissociative Identity Disorder — and believes doctors must get permission from all of a patient’s alters/personalities before proceeding. Here we go again. Madness. Cearly the people they are “treating” have serious mental health issues beyond thinking they need to transition.
Here is another example from my 1991 piece for The Fifth Estate exposing how the patients of one psychotherapist all came to believe they’d been sexually abused, despite having no memories of it. They all left their sessions with a diagnosis of multiple personality disorder. Their therapist in Orillia, Ontario seems to have created their problems through suggestion and hypnotherapy. Do pardon my 1990s ridiculous hair.
Watch this short clip all the way through. Think about this question — how are these women any different than the vulnerable ten year olds who believe they are in the wrong body after sessions with teachers, social workers and well-meaning but captured parents?
While working on this Substack piece I learned about something called plurality that is being included in the subset of serious mental illnesses that plague the trans patients as described by WPATH’s own documents. It seems this discredited diagnosis of separate personalities is making a comeback — in a speciality of medicine and therapy that has no guardrails at all. And an internet full of broken people are spreading nonsense to highly susceptible readers. DID is the new term for MPD which was removed from the DSM — the official diagnostic book for psychiatrists. The piece below is arguing for more inclusiveness in trans medicine of the DID/MPD paradigm.
Over the following year, however, it became evident that there was more to our identities than a “true” female self, and “false” male self created as a defence and due to (inappropriate) socialization.
Kids emerged. First a young girl about five years old that was hyper, weird, and curious. Then a more complex part, Micah, about 12 years old (agender/female) that has since worked to solidify their own individual existence. The male and female adult identities switched with some, but not many, of the switching symptoms often associated with DID. Switching to the kid parts, however, included almost all of them. There was no room in typical transgender narratives for such experiences.
The work we did back then for CBC was groundbreaking and The Fifth Estate should be turning its eye to the trans phenomenon which deserves the same scrutiny from a new generation of talented journalists. But that is unlikely, given that programming at my old employer is all in for the insanity this time.
CBC recently reported on a new documentary which claimed to be the first to expose the Canadian connection to the Satanic Panic — and one of its directors didn’t seem to have a clue that our work pre-dates them by about thirty-five years.
This book, and the story, that started in Canada was the origin story of the satanic panic, Horlor said. We sort of realized as we got deeper and deeper into the project that no one had ever told this before in a documentary.
The directors went on to frame what happened as a conspiracy theory — not a massive failure of all of our institutions to stop out of control professionals on an ideological mission. The CBC in reviewing the film even managed to blame Donald Trump.
Adams said that when the pair started work on the documentary, conspiracy theories such as Pizzagate (new window) and QAnon (new window) were in the public eye. Conspiracy theories, many initiated by former U.S. president Donald Trump, have also surrounded the 2020 presidential election which was won by Joe Biden.
Horlor said he thinks conspiracies will always be with us.
No mention of the similarities to the trans medicine tragedy at all. Or the connection to the captured professionals who failed us all during C-19.
So its left to Mia Hughes, a Canadian forced to publish on an American platform. And there are a few conservative outlets who’ve had the courage to take this on. It’s hard and sometimes lonely work. She will be attacked by a powerful lobby and a propagandized culture — but if we are to save our children, indeed our society, it must be done.
Stay critical.
Britain has outlawed puberty blockers as a nation. The wall is crumbling but we need to be persistent and grind it all to dusty so it never comes back.
Contrary to what the progressives believe, there is a human nature and, if I'm correct about that, everything old SHOULD BE new again. Indeed, that is exactly what we see in history. Humans show patterns reflective or their strengths and weaknesses that repeat. I thank you for reminding me of such an obvious example from our recent past of exactly the same thing, the ritualized satanic and "retrieved" memories of abuse, and the trans indoctrination. These "frenzies" are part of the same human frailty. The sane amongst us must remain forever vigilant.
