What do you guys think of the Satanic Panic of the late 80s-early 90s? Was there any validity to the claims? What about McMartin preschool and the alleged tunnels? Were they fabricated or was it covered up?
>>17876470
I think it was a combination of regular sexual abuse that was somehow misconstrued as being "Satanic", and copycats who falsely claimed to be victims of Satanic abuse for publicity and attention.
>>17876470
It's real. Read the Greenbaum speech (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_mindcon03.htm) or the thousand-plus mindbogglingly interconnected and wellresearched pages Fritz Springmeier has written on it in several books combined.
I don't see how it could be entirely due to "mass hysteria". People just randomly went crazy thinking something that wasn't happening was happening then randomly stopped, sure.
Very Valid
President Reagan and President Bush's White House was teeming with practicing Luciferians and pedophiles.
That spread demonically all over America...

Franklin Cover Up
Paul Bonacci states he saw children raped in front of a giant own statue.
DeCamp omits it from the book at the time because he feels it is to unbelievable.
Later Decamp is astonished when he learns about Bohemian Grove and realizes this is where the Owl Statue story originated from.
Also please Google Hunter Thompson Bohemian Grove...
There are so many bizarre aspects to the Franklin Credit Union scandal that I'm inclined to believe that there was more going on than was officially reported.

I dunno.. I read one study about satanic worship not so long ago and the "sings" were everything from depression to DnD. Basically anything a teen in the 90's did. The worst part is that it was a study someone published as her masters thesis and it passed.

It's a fine line between demonic oppression and mental issues...
According to testimony, it was a mere homicidal curiosity that motivated Sellers to “see what it feels like to kill somebody”. In September of 1985, he had acted upon this impulse when he shot and killed Bowers with a .357 magnum.
Sellers would oscillate between different reasons for this brutal act as his defense tactic would shift, and depending on which audience he was addressing. In one version, he would claim that it was an act of revenge — the victim had denied a sale of alcohol to an under-aged friend, and had been particularly rude in his refusal. In another telling, Sellers would explain that the murder was committed as a natural outgrowth of his commitment to Satanism at that time; This twisted religion demanded (and he was powerless to refuse) that he break all ten of the Ten Commandments, including, of course, “Thou shalt not kill.” In yet another version, Sellers was utterly unaware that he had committed murder at all — he was completely amnesiac for the whole sordid affair — and found himself shocked and confused that such savagery could have possibly overtaken his senses.
>>17880080
what the fuck m8
Six months after the convenience store slaying remained unsolved, Sellers shot and killed his mother and stepfather as they slept. His reasons for this were just as unclear. Claiming amnesia for this crime as well, Sellers would nonetheless also claim to know his motive: his mother disapproved of, and was attempting to keep him separated from, his new girlfriend. Alternately, of course, the rigorous demands of Satanic worship were again to blame. Sellers would expand upon the Satanism claim turning it into nothing short of a classic devil-made-me-do-it defense, alleging to be possessed of a demon when the murders took place. Through occult rituals, Sellers claimed to have had invited a demon, named Ezurate, into his body. These claims, while seemingly mutually exclusive, would also eventually blend into one confused narrative in which Sellers, overcome by Satanic influences, committed murder outside of his conscious awareness, recalling the deeds and mundane motives only after deep introspection and spiritual conversion to Christianity.
Unconvincingly, Sellers’s legal counsel argued that an “addiction” to the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D & D) had “dictated his actions and disconnected him from any consciousness of wrongdoing or responsibility.” [3] Dungeons & Dragons, according to this narrative, had led Sellers to Satanism. Satanism, if not Satan, drove Sellers to murder. Sellers had been lured into the depraved world of the occult, his young mind warped and confused by the twisted practices of some hidden fanatical society. Dungeons & Dragons had proved a gateway into a world of ritualized, anti-human, criminal activities. It was a poor attempt at a more secular version of Sellers’s own demonic possession claim.
Any interest or am I wasting my time here with you /x/ faggots?
Reflecting on his early incarceration and alleged amnesia, Sellers stated, “I thought I would be [set] free because I didn’t think I was guilty. But when I got the death penalty, I wanted to know why,” he said. “I kept meditating and thinking, going back in time and then forward again bit by bit. When I hit a blank spot, I forced myself to remember. I think now I was two people—Sean and Ezurate.” [2]
>>17880292
Wasting your time because this is all a bunch of bullshit. That crazy kid who killed his parents is just looking for something to blame. Grieving parents are just looking for something to blame. Blaming dnd is like people blaming video games for the atrocities that happen today.

>What about McMartin preschool and the alleged tunnels? Were they fabricated or was it covered up?
I don't believe there is a more comprehensive article about the entire case and trials, specifically the claims of/investigations into the tunnels, than this:
http://www.ipt-forensics.com/journal/volume7/j7_2_1.htm
>The Dark Truth About the "Dark Tunnels of McMartin"
>John Earl
ABSTRACT: Recent revisionist articles and book citations have challenged the view that the McMartin child sex abuse scandal, and other multi-victim/perpetrator/ritual abuse cases, were conceived and prosecuted without "a shred of evidence." The main basis for this claim is the 1990 "discovery" of a "tunnel" and "possible secret room" underneath the McMartin Preschool that once existed in Manhattan Beach, California. How the concept of secret tunnels became an obsession with various parents of McMartin students, the course of the development and parental acting out of this obsession, and the present — but by no means final — outcome of the obsessive parental behavior are the central issues under study in this account of the McMartin witch hunt.

So basically no. This thread is bullshit. No links , no examples, but you should go Google obvious nuts for evidence. One thing that the satanic panic did was ruin lives, that's why asserting something without good evidence shouldn't be taken seriously.

It's a example of how hysteria and moral panic can set off a witch hunt - in modern times. an innocent man was in jail for over five years, and many other lives disrupted and forever changed as well. Children are no longer interviewed for trial or in therapy the way they were about alleged abuse at the preschool. It was the most lengthy and costly trial in United States history.

>>17883478
Yes. Every movie that attempts to portray a hidden world had (usually a lead) character who is a surrogate for the audience. That character gets exposition thrown onto him or her about the rules of the world. That character asks questions we the audience would ask.
The matrix, Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby and on and on.

If you want to tell a story, perhaps television is a more practical option
Seriously, dude, movies are just one-off music videos
You really expect them to spend 40 minutes out of every 150 minute film to say that this guy doesn't agree with violence but is willing to hurt people if he needs to?
>>17883530
I agree w you about tv...it's obviously The Novel as opposed to movies Magazine Articles.
However that *is* what elevates a thing from movie to film. That time constraint and singular story that both speaks for itself and a larger idea beyond the scope of what is seen in ~150 mins.
Not sure about the guy being anti violent and then killing people thing. is that a specific reference? regardless, that paradox makes for an interesting character nonetheless.
And THAT may be my ultimate point. Where the fuck are the good characters at? it's all physical action and catch phrases. I like a hypocritical and conflicted human

or important business people playing at art, literature, music and drama. Which Nixon most likely found "faggy". Interesting that you infer from his quote that there was actual sex between men and "rituals", though.

"Important Artists" can also regress into depraved Satanic pedos at the Grove anon. That's why they go there.

I'm sure any order functions much like 4chan in it's lifetime.
>muh sekret club
within the order, there are a majority that on some level respect the magic. Keep it secret keep it safe. over time it becomes a parody of itself; those within function through irony.
My hunch is at one point they may have been sexual and sacrificial, when shit was real and things were new. Now I'm sure they substitute...for example Crowley considered contraception as a form of child sacrifice, a clever lawyering to keep the rituals legit but not be a total monster.
I have this fascination with satanic cults. I'd love to meet and document one, even though I know I'd probably end up murdered if half of the shit they say about them is true.

I hear you m9, I was possessed by the God Emperor of mankind after playing too much 40k. I adorned myself in masonic regalia, painted myself gold and attempted to genetically engineer my own primarchs through an alchemical process pioneered by russians that involved injecting semen into an egg. I was also (and continue to be) possessed by a burning desire to purge the xenos from my domain - namely the pakis.

This. In this period, Scandinavia was dealing with church burnings, cults of theistic Satanism, metal concerts with animal sacrifices and Varg Vikernes' murder of Euronymous.
Meanwhile, Dungeons & Dragons was a relatively new game, and others started associating it with teenagers taking too much interest in the "occult". Furthermore, genres like thrash metal and death metal were evolving in North America and the UK, meaning that bands like Slayer, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Cradle of Filth, Napalm Death, Dying Fetus, Venom, and so forth were at their high points.
Panicky religious parents and such were already associating all these with violence, degeneracy and devil-worshipping, and the fact that Sean Sellers partially attributed his killing of his family with his taste in music and games only added to the mass hysteria. I guess this is why metal music has such a bad reputation to this day.
For the rest of the points that other posters have made here, however, I'm not sure of the legitimacy of some of them. Was there something bigger and spookier contributing to the Satanic Panic beyond what I've listed? I'm tired.
