Sending out loads of gratitude for this thread - what is being discussed and how it is being discussed. These distinctions need to be made. Following with interest, and learning lots. Thanks all. <br><br>Here are some of my thoughts and questions based on about one year of slowly learning what is going on out there...<br><br>Perhaps both "Satanic" and "Christian" RA are misleading qualifiers used to muddy what is, in my view, a wider, politically-involved phenomena. The so-called christians and satanists and christians posing as satanists or vice-versa are, it seems to me, usually exposed (to the extent they can be) in the context of, or linked to, higher rings of earthly power which (paradoxically?) transcend religious identity. Earthly power and elite political goals trump the useful labels these stage-players must don for the seated audience (and sometimes for themselves, ie. cognitive dissonance.) Furthermore, ritual abuse transcends religious barriers, does it not? There is “Muslim” ritual abuse too, no? Surely a few atheists out there indulge. Most, if not all though, are tied to earthly power or are trying to get within that realm. <br><br>Anyway, what with all the political-connections, -agendas, -implications linked-in with ritual abuse and the credible reality of a "Pedophocracy" operating out there and wielding extraordinary political, legal, or other coercive power (as they always have) shouldn't the reality of “ritual abuse” be set apart with higher priority? Old Ed down the street, a real single pervert, getting caught making kiddie porn can’t possibly be the same as Ed’s mayor, good Christian that he is, running a cross-state ring of perps, victims and materials to maintain power, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>inter alia</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. Even more so if the mayor is part of a ritual-based exploitation ring. His sentencing might be equal to that of a convicted non-ra, non-mc based human trafficker, but the investigation and pursuit thereof should be greater for the ritual-based perps because they are probably linked-into something older, deeper, more widespread and dangerous.<br><br>There is something about the ritualistic dimension to this sexual exploitation which assumes, in my mind at least, a more troubling relation to Power itself. A mayor running child prostitutes like drugs is horrible enough, but when a ritual aspect is added, there is something older, deeper, more organized and sinister involved, something harder to tap into, crack, expose, and stop. It attacks, manipulates, and controls our psyche on more levels than regular porn. It goes beyond dirty business in the back room; it is exploiting the most human and fragile and important parts of us all: our minds. <br><br>I think, if I am correct, that Blanc and Biao are proposing to reframe sexual abuse to encompass a wider range of acts under "organised sexual exploitation." Biao: <!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I think the use of "ritual abuse" as an umbrella term prioritises the ritual violence over and above a set of other human rights abuses (prostitution, pornography, etc)<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> I agree, to an extent - abuse is abuse - but have a few thoughts and questions. <br><br>I think that because the ritual aspect of this abuse is regularly tied to the more powerful movers and shakers of society basking in positions of high responsibility over very large numbers of people, perhaps it <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>should</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> be given priority - at least in the sense of exposure, if not prosecution. I am not aware of any (sucessful) legal precedents if there are any. <br><br>These guys do not simply run their perversions in a pedestrian manner, they ritualize it. Ritualizers see themselves as elect, above, and thus entitled to use their own system to supercede our system. Ritual feeds that self-fulfilling prophesy of entitlement to domination. <br><br>There are also corporations (Enron) and politicians (Cunningham) who see themselves as elect, above, and thus feel entitled to abuse the system and run pornographic scams on our trust for their own enrichment - but they are also sanctifying a greater ritual that is corrupt to its core: corporate capitalism (but that for another thread). <br><br>What I am getting at: in the parapolitical school of investigation, should not the ritual aspect be given priority over other subsets of organized abuse if it almost invariably leads to the head of the stinking fish? Bush may have been into porn, coke, prostitution and all, but that only (only, huh!) denotes systemic HUMAN corruption. However, when Bush is likely tied to organized ritual abuse involving mind control victims and its sinister entourage of black budgets, secrecy, blackmail, trafficking and mafia hits leading to wars, war crimes, and a permanent trafficking institution, then we have systemic ELITE corruption of a far more organized and dangerous nature, which beyond getting a few perp's rocks off, advances an ordering of the world to their liking - one which further traumatizes and facilitates corruption of the entire human community, perpetuating all other forms of exploitation, ritualized or not. <br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Their</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> rituals (sexual or otherwise) affect more people and more processes on a global scale. I worry that elite ritual exploitation bleeds down and gets encoded consciously or not into the wider global psyche which is manifested in every type of sexual dysfunction, which is then channeled back up the pyramid for further sustainance. <br><br>All that, and how do we categorize ritual abuse when it is enhanced with the added dimension of mind control and Manchurian-like political/sex slaves? I know the difference between mc and ra has been discussed on other threads, but I am still a bit hazy on the working relationship between the two. <br><br>blanc: <!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>only self gratification, entirely divorced from sensibility can 'explain' such degrees of constantly elaborated violence.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> Yet are not some aspects of ritual abuse (and, related or not, the specific reality of mind control, designing alters and controlling agents) useful <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>not only</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> for indulging sick personal fantasies, but also to indulge wider political agendas? <br><br>I am interested in the aspect of rational political calculation involved in those groups/societies relying on generations of carefully-constructed and handed-down rituals. Perhaps most of these crimes are of the sloppier, undisciplined, senseless, purely self-gratifying variety - but are not the highest-level organized ritual abusers acting quite sensibly in using such means to achieve certain political/financial/power/control goals? As such, ritual acts may be highly-disciplined, well-structured, well-protected and not necessarily concerned primarily with personal gratification as an end-in-itself, but rather as a means to something else. Perhaps the highest-level crimes got so high and stay high because of their highly-controlled ritual aspect - which may even require, from time to time, highly disciplined abstenance from particular indulgences. Kinda like what it takes to make it into the inner realms of the intelligence complex. <br><br>Ok, it might be clarifying to drop the "christian" and/or "satanic" modifiers from "ritual abuse" and put it within the category "organised sexual exploitation." (Though I think this category may be <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>too</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> broad - heck, commercial advertising comes to mind and could be included under this rubric - though I suppose it could be argued that commercial advertising is just as dangerous and insidious as ritual abuse.) So I would suggest a special qualifier for Ritual Abuse, something like: <br><br>"There are many sets and subsets of organised sexual exploitation, the most dangerous and far-reaching being organized ritual abuse." <br><br>In an ideal world, sociologists, human rights professionals, legal professionals and journalists will have to come around to the reality of "ritual abuse", or "ritual acts" committed in a context of sexual abuse/exploitation if ritual abuse does in fact occur in reality. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=gouda@rigorousintuition>Gouda</A> at: 8/21/06 9:00 am<br></i>
