<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>MC, if you include it as a footnote/side section in RA work, is worth mentioning only to point to a deeper state involvement in RA (on top of no enforcement)<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br>I want to look specifically at the role of ritualistic activity in organised sexual exploitation - the issue of thought reform (etc) will be addressed to the extent that it comes through in the ritualistic activity, but the history of "mind control" won't be relevant to the project per se. <br><br>And frankly, the similarities between torture techniques can be explained a number of different ways - I don't buy the MKultra 'trickle down' effect. Paramilitary torturers use the same techniques as RAers - torture is torture is torture. RAers may be relatively sophisticated but it's their "business" to control/silence extremely traumatised children/adults - why wouldn't they have developed complex and effective ways of maintaining control through trauma/dissociation?<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>The blame can then be formulated only as - instead of working to eliminate RA rings, some state agencies are actually tapping into those rings for various goals (research, intel gathering, etc.).<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <br>But research isn't about "formulating blame". And <br>the American govt is not "to blame" for RA around the world if black ops got involved with cults and child torture at some point.<br><br>Organised crime can only exist by corrupting the institutions of the state (doesn't matter if it's drugs, kids, porn, whatever) but in RA, we keep seeing it the other way around - we blame the corruption for the crime. And the constant fascination with govt complicity totally obscures the way that RA plays out on the ground. <br><br>The case histories are fairly mundane: screwed up families screwing up their children networked with other screwed up families. That's where most of the prosecutions occur and you see it all the time. These families are dirt poor, long history of neglect and trauma, lashings of Satanism/occult/religious fanatacism, and *bang* you've got RA. <br><br>In some cases, they are involved in organised crime (drugs, porn, prostitution), there's a lot of money floating around the place. In some cases, the groups are large enough to start a blackmail operation, and, with a combination of blackmail and bribery, they can start pulling in and controlling people of influence. <br><br>We keep getting obsessed by the fact that some RA perps are police or govt - but it also involves priests, teachers, psychologists, doctors, etc. In fact, it <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>mostly</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> involves mundane perverted psychos.<br><br>I think conspiracy theories come about when people observe a social force (eg the widespread denial of RA) and they attribute it to conscious actors, rather then issues like culture, psychology, etc. RA is protected by similar types of corruption that protect all forms of organised crime, but speaking about "the govt" as being knowledgeable and complicit is too simplistic. <br><br>Our history of RA is totally dominated by an underground vision of American govt corruption - but that is not the whole story, not when prostituted women from Ghana and Zimbabwe and Nambia are reporting ritual abuse prior to their trafficking into Europe as sexual slaves. We can't "explain" RA by invoking nazis and shadowy govt conspiracies, and the more we cling to those explanations, the less likely we are to find help. <p></p><i></i>
