The 2021 Online Annual Ritual Abuse, Secretive Organizations and Mind Control Conference Aug 14 -15, 2021
All accusations are alleged.
Please note: None of the material on these pages or at the conference is meant as therapy, or to take the place of therapy. These presentations may be very heavy to read for survivors. Survivors may want to read this with a support person.
Biography
Neil Brick is a survivor of ritual abuse and mind control. His work continues to educate the public about child abuse, trauma and ritual abuse crimes.
His child abuse and ritual abuse newsletter S.M.A.R.T. https://ritualabuse.us has been published for over 26 years. http://neilbrick.com
Abstract
This presentation will explain how mind control and different suggestive techniques work in a variety of individual and public settings. These will include interpersonal relationships, abusive relationships, ritual abuse settings, social media, political manipulation and hypnosis. Ways to expose and prevent mind control will be discussed. Social views of mind control will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
1) Participants will learn how different suggestive techniques can control thought patterns.
2) Participants will be able to discern how mind control techniques can be used in different settings.
3) Participants will be able to describe how different hypnosis and post hypnotic suggestion can be used.
4) Participants will be able to list the different social views of mind control.
Definition of Mind Control
WHAT IS MIND CONTROL?
Mind control, like ritual abuse, has both a broad and narrow definition. In a sense, all advertising is an attempt at mind control, an attempt to make people buy certain brands or objects. Propaganda (my country is right and good and the other country is wrong and bad) is also an example of attempted mind control.
Mind Control Definitions
In the survivor community, however, the definition is much narrower and more sinister. It means that part of a person’s mind has been programmed (that is, trained) to obey another person without question, while other parts of the mind are unaware of this situation.
What is Programming?
Programming refers both to the process of teaching part of the mind unquestioned obedience and to the content of what is taught.
Who Practices Mind Control?
Many cults that practice ritual abuse use mind control, in that their members are not aware, most of the time, that they are participating in the cult or in abusive acts or ceremonies. Governments also have experimented extensively with mind control, primarily through federally funded intelligence agencies and military research projects.
Suggestive Techniques:
Interpersonal and Abusive Relationships
There is a big difference between psychological or emotional manipulation and simple influence. Healthy social influence appears naturally without anyone trying to force it. We may affect others’ choices, preferences and judgement without threatening their health and emotional or physical well-being.
In case of psychological manipulation, however, manipulator’s goal is to create an imbalance of power in order to exploit others’ weaknesses to serve their own interests. The roots of emotional manipulation are quite complex.
Reasons why an individual may choose manipulative behavior
Generally, the reasons why an individual may choose manipulative behavior include
personal gain,
desire for power and superiority,
desire to control,
self-esteem issues,
boredom
Interpersonal and Abusive Relationships
If you suspect you are being manipulated, you need to find a way to stand up for yourself in a safe way. Sometimes the manipulator will apologize and temporarily correct his behavior only to return to it later. Avoid isolation and nurture relationships with other people to keep a healthy perspective. Romantic relationship with a manipulator can be especially damaging and must be avoided. https://psychologia.co/emotional-manipulation/
“I believe the only solution to the damage done to people in destructive cults is to “immunize” the general population against mid control groups. The most effective way to do this is to expose people to information about how the group works.” Combatting Cult Mind Control, Hassan p. 5.
Abusive Relationships in Groups (and Cults)
Isolation
Physical isolation can be very powerful, but even when physical isolation is impossible or not practical, manipulators will typically attempt to isolate you mentally. This may be achieved in a number of ways from one week seminars in the country to criticizing your family and circle of friends. Limiting any other influence by controlling information flow is the ultimate goal.
https://psychologia.co/mind-control-techniques/
Mind Control Techniques To Be Aware Of
Criticism
Criticism may be used as an isolation tool. The manipulators will usually speak in “us against them” terms, criticize the outside world and claim their own superiority. According to them, you must feel lucky to be associated with them.
Social proof and peer pressure
Those who attempt to manipulate large groups of people will typically use social proof and peer pressure to brainwash newcomers. Social proof is a psychological phenomenon where (some) people assume that the actions and beliefs of others are appropriate and, because “everyone does that”, must be justified. This works especially well when an individual isn’t sure what to think, how to behave, or what to do. A lot of people in such situations will simply look at what others do and do the same.
Fear of alienation
Newcomers to manipulative groups will usually receive a warm welcome and will form a number of new friendships that seem to be much deeper and more meaningful than anything they have ever experienced. Later on, if any doubts arise, these relationships will become a powerful tool to hold them in the group. Even if they aren’t completely convinced, the life in the outside world may seem very lonely.
Repetition
Constant repetition is another powerful persuasion tool. Although it may seem too simplistic to be effective, but repeating same message over and over again makes it familiar and easier to remember. When repetition is combined with social proof, it delivers the message without fail.
Fatigue
Fatigue and sleep deprivation result in physical and mental tiredness. When you are physically tired and less alert, you are more susceptible to persuasion. A study mentioned in Journal of Experimental Psychology shows that individuals who had not slept for only 21 hours were more susceptible to suggestion.
Forming new identity
Ultimately, manipulators want to re-define your identity. They want you to stop being yourself and become a robot, someone who mindlessly follows their orders. Using all methods and mind manipulation techniques mentioned above, they will attempt to extract a confession from you — some form of acknowledgement that you believe that they are good people doing a good thing (slight variations are possible).
In the beginning it might be something seemingly insignificant like agreeing that the members of the group are fun and loving people or that some of their views are indeed valid. Once you accept that one little thing, you may be more ready to accept another one and then another one and another… Before you know it, out of desire to be consistent with what you do and say, you start identifying as one of the group. This is particularly powerful if you know that your confessions were recorded or filmed — just in case you forget, there is a physical proof of your new identity.
Ritual abuse has been defined as:
a brutal form of abuse of children, adolescents, and adults, consisting of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, and involving the use of rituals. Ritual does not necessarily mean satanic. However, most survivors state that they were ritually abused as part of satanic worship for the purpose of indoctrinating them into satanic beliefs and practices. Ritual abuse rarely consists of a single episode. It usually involves repeated abuse over an extended period of time. The physical abuse is severe, sometimes including torture and killing. The sexual abuse is usually painful, sadistic, and humiliating, intended as means of gaining dominance over the victim. The psychological abuse is devastating and involves the use of ritual/indoctrination, which includes mind control techniques and mind-altering drugs, and ritual/intimidation which conveys to the victim a profound terror of the cult members and of the evil spirits they believe cult members can command. Both during and after the abuse, most victims are in a state of terror, mind control, and dissociation in which disclosure is exceedingly difficult
WHAT IS RITUAL ABUSE?
WHAT IS RITUAL ABUSE? (BROAD DEFINITION) Ritual abuse is the abuse of a child, weaker adult, or animal in a ritual setting or manner. In a broad sense, many of our overtly or covertly socially sanctioned actions can be seen as ritual abuse, such as military basic training, hazing, racism, spanking children, and partner-battering. Some abuse is private…some public. Public ritual abuse may be either open or secret.
WHAT IS RITUAL ABUSE? (NARROW DEFINITION) The term ritual abuse is generally used to mean prolonged, extreme, sadistic abuse, especially of children, within a group setting. The group’s ideology is used to justify the abuse, and abuse is used to teach the group’s ideology. The activities are kept secret from society at large, as they violate norms and laws.
(From Survivorship – Frequently Asked Questions)
Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual Abuse
D. Corydon Hammond, Ph.D. (“Greenbaum Speech”)
….Then approximately two and a half years ago I had some material drop in my lap. My source was saying a lot of things that I knew were accurate about some of the brainwashing, but it was telling me new material I had no idea about. At this point I took note and decided to check it out in three ritual-abuse patients I was seeing at the time. Two of the three had what they were describing, in careful inquiry without leading or contaminating
“Here’s where it appears to have come from. At the end of World War II, before it even ended, Allen Dulles and people from our Intelligence Community were already in Switzerland making contact to get out Nazi scientists. As World War II ends, they not only get out rocket scientists, but they also get out some Nazi doctors who have been doing mind-control research in the camps.”
What they basically do is they will get a child and they will start this in basic forms, it appears, by about two and a half after the child’s already been made dissociative. They’ll make him dissociative not only through abuse, like sexual abuse, but also things like putting a mousetrap on their fingers and teaching the parents, “You do not go in until the child stops crying. Only then do you go in and remove it.” They start in rudimentary forms at about two and a half and kick into high gear, it appears, around six or six and a half, continue through adolescence with periodic reinforcements in adulthood.”
“Ellen Lacter…gives this definition:
Ritual Abuse consists of conditioning and torture, carried out in a ceremonial or calculator manner
for the purpose of effecting control over a victim’s mind and behavior. It is international in scope, with similarities and variations across cultures.”
Dr. Miller describes the techniques (p. 12) used to mind control victims, including torture, abuse and druggings.
The tactics of these groups, however, are quite different from, and more extreme than, those found in visible cults. They are much more violent, for one thing. Their methods are more sophisticated and the consequences of those tactics more complex.” p. 13
Battle for the Mind – William Sargant
William Sargant first looked at combat PTSD and compared it to Pavlov’s classical conditioning. He extended Pavlov’s model to explain how people could change their world view suddenly. This was caused by intense trauma, followed by a person’s personality breaking down, followed by the application of new ways of thinking.
Pavlov’s dogs during a flood either forgot or reversed their previous training. First, Pavlov’s “equivalent” phase of brain activity or breakdown occurred.
Second, Pavlov’s “paradoxical inhibition” occurred where weak stimuli would produce strong responses and strong stimuli would produce weak responses (inappropriate responses).
Third, in the “ultraparadoxical” stage, responses changed from positive to negative and vice-versa. Current models of PTSD suggest that PTSD can be understood as learned helplessness, a set of foci in the brain firing repeatedly and inappropriately.
Cognitively, a person’s world view is so changed as to become untenable. Pavlov’s observations on animals breaking down under extreme stress could be applied to humans and survivors.
Pavlov was able to build up and break down behavior patterns in dogs. Pavlov’s work seems to have influenced confession getting and brainwashing techniques.
Pavlov’s dogs had four basic temperaments, strong excitatory, lively, calm imperturbable type and melancholic. Each type reacted differently to stress.
Pavlov could cause a dog to break down by increasing the intensity of a signal (electricity), delaying the time between the signal and food, confusing them with positive and negative signals interchanged or tampering with its physical condition.
If a dog of stable temperament acquires a behavior after extreme stress, it is hard to break this behavior. The could be compared to a person of strong character becoming a one-track minded fanatic. Some survivors may also become fanatics.
Social media
Propaganda techniques are similar in many ways to programming techniques. One could say a person is being programmed when being propagandized. The combination of vision and sound on TV make a person more suggestible.
Most people get their news from TV. Once a person is overly emotional or numbed out, they become more suggestible and less likely to critically think about their choices. Subliminal learning is then enhanced.
Examples of propaganda in our media today are all too obvious. It is unfortunately too easy to direct people’s attention away from the fraudulent elections in our country and the outright thievery of the rich corporations against the populace, by creating enemies and fear.
Misinformation and Propaganda:
Nazism – The Third Reich 1920 – 1945:
In 1924, Adolf Hitler wrote that propaganda’s “task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.”
Nazi propaganda was distributed through a wide variety of media and social channels. Jewish people in particular were the targets of Nazi propaganda and negative social policies which led to the Holocaust and murder of millions of Jewish people as well as others.
Film portrayed a large role in the development of pro-Nazi and anti-Semitism in Germany. Film and propaganda were used to cover up the atrocities and murders in the concentration camps.
Like many countries, propaganda was used to encourage public support of war.

Modern American Right Wing Political Movement – 2016 – 2020
Modern American Right Wing Political Movement – 2016 – 2020:
Fox News has been considered the right wing’s “Ministry of Truth.”
https://www.newsweek.com/fox-news-donald-trumps-ministry-truth-cia-analyst-1378208
From Orwell’s 1984: “The government puts into manufacturing its own version of reality, from rewriting history to producing propaganda to trying to remove as many words as possible from the English language to reduce people’s ability to think.
Its main role is to help control the population through misinformation, outright lies and lack of information so that the state can maintain total power over the people.”
The Satanic Temple – Grey Faction and Doug Mesner/Lucien Greaves (both aliases) – 2000 – 2020
The Grey Faction uses a wide variety of propaganda techniques to misrepresent the pro-survivor movement.
“….Collective or cultural gaslighting, pushing society at large to question the sanity of its members who perceive politics counter-hegemonically and question the falsified historiographies of the ruling class. A linchpin of this societal gaslighting is formed by mechanisms which trigger the attribution of the “conspiracist ideation” label to certain discourses and by efforts to cause certain discourses to become dominated by or associated with faulty conspiracist ideational reasoning.”
“….the allegation that someone is a “conspiracy theorist” is almost always a figurative way to charge them with faulty reasoning or, at the very least, to imply skepticism of their claims.”
“we have seen that Misicko often ridicules his opponents as believers in conspiracy theories related to “MK Ultra,” comparing them to believers in “UFO’s” and “Past Life Regression”
Political manipulation
“Fascist politics includes many distinct strategies: the mythical past, propaganda, anti-intellectualism, unreality, hierarchy, victimhood, law and order, sexual anxiety, appeals to the heartland, and a dismantling of public welfare and unity….The danger of fascist politics come from the particular way in which it dehumanizes segments of the population. By excluding these groups, it limits the capacity for empathy among other citizens, leading to the justification of inhumane treatment, from freedom to repression, mass imprisonment, and explusion to, in extreme cases, mass extermination.” Stanley, How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them. p. XXVIII -XXIX
“In Mein Kampf…Hitler writes it is a gross misunderstanding to dismiss simple language as stupid. Throughout Mein Kampf, Hitler is clear that the aim of propaganda is to replace reasoned argument in the public sphere with irrational fears and passions…(Bannon) anger and fear is what gets people to the polls.” p. 55
“Fascist politics includes many distinct strategies: the mythical past, propaganda, anti-intellectualism, unreality, hierarchy, victimhood, law and order, sexual anxiety, appeals to the heartland, and a dismantling of public welfare and unity….

XXVIII -XXIX
Mythical past:
“In all fascist mythic pasts, an extreme version of the patriarchal family reigns supreme….further back in time, the mythic past was a time of glory of the nation” p. 3
“The function of the mythic past is to harness the emotion of nostalgia to the central tenets of fascist ideology – hierarchy, purity, and struggle.” p. 5
Hierarchy
‘Fascist politicians represent the myths that legitimize their hierarchies as immutable facts.” p.80
“Might Is Right or The Survival of the Fittest…rejects conventional ideas of human and natural rights and argues that only strength or physical might can establish moral right”
Stanley describes the denial of fascism in society even when it is occurring, similar to Trumpism from 2016 – 2020. He talks about how Jewish people in Germany in 1937 did not realize the danger they were in. The Nazis of course covered up many of their crimes. Mass media today made it more difficult for Trump to do this (immigrant camps). This is like the denial of child abuse crimes today by false memory proponents with their gross misrepresentations of fact.
Hypnosis
THE BATTLE FOR YOUR MIND, by Dick Sutphen
Persuasion & Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public Today
https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Secrets/TR/sutphen.html
The Three Brain Phases
The Christians may have been the first to successfully formulate brainwashing, but we have to look to Pavlov, the Russian scientist, for a technical explanation. In the early 1900s, his work with animals opened the door to further investigations with humans. After the revolution in Russia, Lenin was quick to see the potential of applying Pavlov’s research to his own ends.
With the progression through each phase, the degree of conversion becomes more effective and complete. The way to achieve conversion are many and varied, but the usual first step in religious or political brainwashing is to work on the emotions of an individual or group until they reach an abnormal level of anger, fear, excitement, or nervous tension.
Other often-used physiological weapons to modify normal brain functions are fasting, radical or high sugar diets, physical discomforts, regulation of breathing, mantra chanting in meditation, the disclosure of awesome mysteries, special lighting and sound effects, programmed response to incense, or intoxicating drugs.
The same results can be obtained in contemporary psychiatric treatment by electric shock treatments and even by purposely lowering a person’s blood sugar level with insulin injections.
….hypnosis and conversion tactics are two distinctly different things–and that conversion techniques are far more powerful. However, the two are often mixed . . . with powerful results.
Research on mind control cults
The Manipulation of Spiritual Experience: Unethical Hypnosis in Destructive Cults
Linda Dubrow-Marshall, Ph.D. and Steve K. Eichel, Ph.D., ABPP
Reports
The process of cult and mass therapy indoctrination may involve repeated inductions of trance-like states of consciousness similar to hypnosis.
Environmental (milieu) control, social manipulation, isolation and the use of prescribed consciousness-altering techniques (e.g. repetitive and/or continuous chanting, meditating, or praying) are some of the methods employed by cults to produce these altered states of awareness.
Recent studies suggest that memories, emotions and even spiritual experiences can be manipulated while in hypnosis. Lack of informed consent and questionable concern for individual needs and wishes makes the use of these hypnotic techniques unethical.
A large part of the cult debate is concerned with whether or not these techniques constitute an objectively verifiable process of mind control. Behavioral scientists Clark and Langone (1983) claim they do; they have stated that “social psychology research … demonstrates rather conclusively … that environmental variables can influence behavior in remarkable ways … that mind control sometimes occurs in cults (p 28)….
Trance States
Trance is characterized first and foremost by heightened suggestibility followed closely by diminished critical thinking or reality testing–what Shor (l969) refers to as receding of the “generalized reality orientation.” Repeated induction often result in still greater degrees of suggestibility and deeper hypnotic states (Arons, 1981). By prolonging trance states, and with the use of repeated inductions, the cultist may become more and more pliable, less critical, more dissociated from him/herself and more apt to accept spurious and even preposterous notions as “facts.”
Post hypnotic suggestions
Posthypnotic Suggestion: Attention, Awareness, and Automaticity
Amanda J. Barnier, Ph.D. (Sleep and Hypnosis 1999;1:57-63)
“Hypnosis is not only intrinsically interesting, but also research into hypnosis can shed light on issues across the psychological domain.
This article explores ways in which hypnotic phenomena, in particular posthypnotic suggestion, can provide approaches to and understanding of complex issues in cognitive psychology.
For instance, when subjects respond to a posthypnotic suggestion, they are presented with a stimulus that they appear to be attending to and which influences their behaviour, yet they lack phenomenal awareness of it.
This discontinuity between attention and consciousness suggests that the assumed mapping of attentive processing and awareness is problematic.
For all intents and purposes, everything is back to normal; yet, subjects still demonstrate a lack of awareness for their behaviour.
This aspect of posthypnotic responding has long been recognised as one of its defining features (28,29).
For instance, Bernheim (30) described a typical response to a posthypnotic suggestion in the following way:
The patient hears what I tell him in his sleep, but no memory of what I said remains. He no longer knows that I spoke to him. The idea suggested arises in his mind when he wakes, but he has forgotten its origin, and believes it is spontaneous.

Misinformation Campaigns Against Survivors – Neil Brick
Child and ritual abuse survivors and their advocates have been
attacked by misinformation campaigns the last several years. These
campaigns use various harassment and propaganda techniques to distort
the research and silence the efforts of those who are working to help
trauma survivors and rape victims. These techniques will be compared to
past and present public campaigns that have distorted information and
used unethical tactics to manipulate public opinion. Propaganda and
suggestion techniques used will be discussed and analyzed.
Neil Brick is a survivor of ritual abuse and mind
control. His work continues to educate the public about child abuse,
trauma and ritual abuse crimes. His child abuse and ritual abuse
newsletter S.M.A.R.T. https://ritualabuse.us has been published for over 25 years. http://neilbrick.com
Today we will be comparing three different negative social movements.
All three movements had different goals and different levels of popular
support in their times. Comparisons of their techniques will be made.
For the purposes of this lecture, the term social movement will be
defined as a group of people sharing common goals to effect social
change.
1) Nazism – The Third Reich 1920 – 1945
2) Modern American Right Wing Political Movement – 2016 – 2020
3) The Satanic Temple – Grey Faction and Doug Mesner/Lucien Greaves (both aliases) – 2000 – 2020
Origins:
1) Nazism – The Third Reich 1920 – 1945: Some
believe that the origins of Nazism include the historical belief in a
unified Germany. A unified Germany developed in the mid 19th century. It
was considered authoritarian and undemocratic. Nazism was also
influenced by ethnic nationalism. (Volkisch groups) Some German
nationalists were strong anti-semites.
https://alphahistory.com/nazigermany/the-origins-of-nazism/
2) Modern American Right Wing Political Movement:
The Republican party conservative and pro-business philosophies of the
20th century led to present day right wing political movement.
Republicans often opposed progressive economic social programs, like the
New Deal (Roosevelt), though at times moderates and conservative in the
party clashed and fought for power. Far right social positions and
anti-immigrant policies were endorsed by Donald Trump, who was elected
in 2016 as president.
3) Grey Faction and Doug Mesner/Lucien Greaves – considers themselves to be “a clean break from LaVeyan Satanism.” “From the beginning, The Satanic Temple offered a stark contrast to the Church of Satan’s anti-altruistic philosophy of self interest.” The Satanic Temple endorses several political and social causes. https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/what-is-the-difference-between-the-satanic-temple-and-the-church-of-satan

Germany and other previous fascist movements. The American Alt-Right at
times quotes Hitler and promotes racist and anti-Semitic philosophies. https://ritualabuse.us/mindcontrol/trump-and-fascism/

Cultural Gaslighting; or, “Falsified History Syndrome”
Propaganda and Mind Control:
Nazism – The Third Reich 1920 – 1945:
“The Nazi propaganda machine exploited ordinary Germans by encouraging them to be co-producers of a false reality….
Joseph Goebbels, the appointed minister of propaganda of Nazi
Germany, once said: “There are two ways to make a revolution. You can
blast your enemy with machine guns until he acknowledges the superiority
of those holding the machine guns. That is one way. Or you can
transform the nation through a revolution of the spirit ….”
Propaganda was the operational method of the Third Reich, the idea
that projected the ideology. Hitler’s chief architect, Albert Speer,
told the Nuremberg Tribunal “that what distinguished the Third Reich
from all previous dictatorships was its use of all the means of
communication to sustain itself and to deprive its objects of the power
of independent thought.”5 Hitler was a magician of illusion.”….
Repetition
The essence of the Nazi propaganda method was repetition. Goebbels
argued that the skill of British propagandists during the Great War
resided in the fact that they used just a few powerful slogans and kept
repeating them.”
Enemies
“Hitler understood, as few others had ever done, the need for the serial
creation of enemies. He was a political entrepreneur possessed of the
truly devastating insight that all recent enemies could eventually merge
into the one super-enemy, the Jews.”

“The organization S.M.A.R.T is run by this little shit named Neil Brick,
he’s actually when I first saw him, he’s this staggering little moron
with this greasy combover and thick glasses, and he’s very short and
very frail …” The Grey Faction repeatedly uses the term “quacks” to
describe trauma practitioners.

Exaggeration
“The crude sales booth at the far end of the conference room marketing a
more advanced species of tin-foil hat does nothing to allay the
suspicion that this is to be a congregation of raving delusional
paranoiacs.”
The use of one event or occurrence to purposefully mischaracterize the
work of an organization and movement. The Grey Faction does this
frequently, looking for licensing complaints against therapists and
taking quotes out of context to mischaracterize and malign trauma
professionals.

This video was taken and published without my permission at a Survivorship conference.
This video incredibly has scary music played in the background and
mislabels my statements asking people not to use cult hand signals
during the conference as “paranoid.”
This video purposefully mischaracterizes my work, including their attacks on my professional license, all of which failed.
False Analogy
“In the technique of false analogy, two things are compared that may or
may not really be similar are presented as being similar. In most false
analogies, there isn’t enough evidence available to support the
comparison.
Mesner compares ritual abuse survivors to alien abductees. In this false
comparison, he lists what he considers certain parallels between the
two. Yet, this does not prove that either are the same. One can take any
item or concept and then list hundreds of qualities and then take
another item and do the same thing. Then one could make a short list of
the similar qualities on these lists. This does not make either item
similar, nor does it prove that ritual abuse memories are not real.”

Trump’s Nicknames and the Psychology of Bullying By Ronald Pies, M.D.
“During and after the presidential campaign, Trump bestowed offensive
nicknames on several of his opponents. There was, famously, “Crooked
Hillary”, but there was also “Little Marco”, “Crazy Bernie” and “Lyin
Ted” for Marco Rubio, Bernie Sanders, and Ted Cruz, respectively. Trump
also repeatedly referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas,” a
jibe at her assertion of Native American heritage. More recently, Trump
has given Sen. Chuck Schumer a series of nicknames, including “Head
Clown,” “Fake Tears” and “Cryin’ Chuck.”

Hate Speech and Hate Groups (including antisemitism):
“A hate group is a social group that advocates and practices hatred,
hostility, or violence towards members of a race, ethnicity, nation,
religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other
designated sector of society. According to the United States Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a hate group’s “primary purpose is to
promote animosity, hostility, and malice against persons belonging to a
race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national
origin which differs from that of the members of the organization.”

Nazism – The Third Reich 1920 – 1945:
“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the most notorious and
widely distributed antisemitic publication of modern times. Its lies
about Jews, which have been repeatedly discredited, continue to
circulate today, especially on the Internet. The individuals and groups
who have used the Protocols are all linked by a common purpose: to
spread hatred of Jews.
The Protocols is entirely a work of fiction, intentionally written
to blame Jews for a variety of ills. Those who distribute it claim that
it documents a Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world. The conspiracy
and its alleged leaders, the so-called Elders of Zion, never existed.”
“Beginning in 1920, auto magnate Henry Ford’s newspaper, The
Dearborn Independent, published a series of articles based in part on
the Protocols. The International Jew, the book that included this
series, was translated into at least 16 languages. Both Adolf Hitler and
Joseph Goebbels, later head of the propaganda ministry, praised Ford
and The International Jew.”
“Nazi Party ideologue Alfred Rosenberg introduced Hitler to the
Protocols during the early 1920s, as Hitler was developing his
worldview. Hitler referred to the Protocols in some of his early
political speeches, and, throughout his career, he exploited the myth
that “Jewish-Bolshevists” were conspiring to control the world.
During the 1920s and 1930s, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
played an important part in the Nazis’ propaganda arsenal. The Nazi
party published at least 23 editions of the Protocols between 1919 and
1939. Following the Nazis’ seizure of power in 1933, some schools used
the Protocols to indoctrinate students.”

“We won. America belongs to white men.” – Richard Spencer
Another clip recorded by Winkler — and a live stream of the entire event

unique and truly wonderful.”

But now his tone changed as he began to tell the audience of more than
200 people, mostly young men, what they had been waiting to hear. He
railed against Jews and, with a smile, quoted Nazi propaganda in the
original German. America, he said, belonged to white people, whom he
called the “children of the sun,” a race of conquerors and creators who
had been marginalized but now, in the era of President-elect Donald J.
Trump, were “awakening to their own identity.”
Fascism spread in 1930s America. It could spread again today.
“At the time, Jews served the same role for U.S. fascists that
immigrants, Muslims and other minorities serve today: a vague but
malicious threat they believed to be undermining America’s greatness.
Surveys of U.S. public opinion from the 1930s are a startling reminder
of just how widespread these attitudes became. As late as July 1942, a
Gallup poll showed that 1 in 6 Americans thought Hitler was “doing the
right thing” to the Jews. A 1940 poll found that nearly a fifth of
Americans saw Jews as a national “menace” — more than any other group,
including Germans. Almost a third anticipated “a widespread campaign
against the Jews” — a campaign that 12 percent of Americans were willing
to support.”

Report from the S.M.A.R.T. Ritual Abuse/Mind-Control Conference 2009, Part 1
by doug — August 25, 2009
On the weekend of August 15-16, journalist Douglas Mesner (process.org)
attended a conference for alleged victims of Satanic Ritual Abuse and
Mind-Control in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. This is the first of his
2-part report:
“The crude sales booth at the far end of the conference room marketing a
more advanced species of tin-foil hat does nothing to allay the
suspicion that this is to be a congregation of raving delusional
paranoiacs.”
Doug Mesner’s connection to the book “Might is Right”
“First published in 1890, it heavily advocates egoist anarchism,
amorality, consequentialism and psychological hedonism. In Might Is
Right, Redbeard rejects conventional ideas of human and natural rights
and argues that only strength or physical might can establish moral
right….
There are also controversial parts of the book that deal with race and
male–female relations, claiming that the woman and the family as a whole
are the property of the man and proclaiming the innate superiority of
the Anglo-Saxon race. The book also contains many strong anti-Semitic
statements.”
“The author and Doug at a book signing for Might Is Right, 2004….
Lucien Greaves of the Satanic Temple first showed up at my door over a
decade ago. He wanted a copy of a book I had republished called Might Is
Right. It was a 100-year-old tome, long forgotten by most, with the
exception of Anton LaVey,… The release of this new version of Might Is
Right became a phenomenon within the underground, and that is what
brought the future leader of the Satanic Temple to my door. Only his
name wasn’t Lucien Greaves at the time, it was Doug Mesner. (This isn’t
the first time Doug has been connected with the Temple, though it is the
first time he has publicly admitted his involvement.) When he first
came to my home, Doug brought a stack of his drawings and writings with
him. It was amazing stuff, and much to my surprise he left it with me.
Not long after our first meeting, and after reviewing his sketchbooks at
length, I reprinted a limited edition version of Might Is Right and
asked Doug to illustrate the chapter headings for it. His work on the
book was truly excellent.”

Anti-Semitism connected to Doug Mesner:
“Like, I think it’s okay to hate Jews if you hate them because they’re
Jewish and they wear a stupid fuckin’ frisbie on their head [correct
term: yarmulke or kippah] and walk around [and] think their God’s chosen
people, but it’s not okay to hate somebody [‘born of Jewish blood’]
just because their parents were stupid fuckin’ Jews and wore stupid
frisbies on their head and thought the Jews were God’s chosen people […]
Not everybody of Jewish blood is okay with me, it depends on if they
follow the Jewish, uh… […] Satanic Jews are fine,” (Adam, “Doug Mesner

Harassment:
Nazism – The Third Reich 1920 – 1945:
“Through hundreds of legal measures, the Nazi-led German government
gradually excluded Jews from public life, the professions, and public
education. The goal of Nazi propaganda was to demonize Jews and to
create a climate of hostility and indifference toward their plight. On
Kristallnacht—the Night of Broken Glass—Jewish businesses and synagogues
were destroyed in the first act of state-sponsored violence against the
Jewish community. Many Jews who had the means tried to leave Germany
but encountered countless bureaucratic hurdles.”
“The goal of Nazi propaganda was to demonize Jews and encourage Germans
to see Jews as dangerous outsiders in their midst. After 1935, everyday
antisemitism was a regular part of carnival parades and floats. Public
displays of antisemitism reinforced a climate of hostility toward Jews
in Germany, or at the least, indifference to their treatment.”

Neo-Nazi website founder owes $14 million to woman he urged readers to harass, judge says

HELENA, Mont. — A judge on Thursday ordered the publisher of a neo-Nazi
website to pay a Jewish real estate agent $14 million for inciting his
readers to harass her family with hundreds of threatening and
anti-Semitic messages and calls.
U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen entered Tanya Gersh a default

Anglin refused to appear for a scheduled deposition in the case.
He ordered Anglin to pay Gersh over $4 million in compensatory damages,
$10 million in punitive damages and told him to permanently remove all
posts, comments and images about Gersh, her husband and son.

Grey Faction, Satanic Temple and Lucien Greaves Fact Sheet:
For over a decade Douglas Misicko using several aliases (including
Douglas Mesner and Lucien Greaves) has harassed groups helping child
abuse, rape and trauma survivors. He has also harassed groups providing
research in support of child abuse, rape and trauma survivors.
In 2013, he and others created a group called the Satanic Temple. One
part of this group is called the Grey Faction. The Grey Faction states
they “invade” conferences. These conferences are provided to help and
educate child abuse, rape and trauma survivors and their helpers.
Their representatives that invade these conferences misrepresent their
reasons for attending these conferences. They film people at these
conferences without permission and publish these films without the
permission of those filmed. The Grey Faction repeatedly misrepresents
the research and statements of the people at these conferences. It uses
repeated ad hominem attacks against child abuse and trauma researchers
without rebutting their research or stories.

The website muckrock.com has been used by the Grey Faction to
investigate and then attack clinicians working with cult survivors.
Pseudoscience:
Nazism – The Third Reich 1920 – 1945:
“From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany carried out a campaign to “cleanse”
German society of individuals viewed as biological threats to the
nation’s “health.” Enlisting the help of physicians and medically
trained geneticists, psychiatrists, and anthropologists, the Nazis
developed racial health policies that began with the mass sterilization
of “genetically diseased” persons and ended with the near annihilation
of European Jewry. With the patina of legitimacy provided by “racial”
science experts, the Nazi regime carried out a program of approximately
400,000 forced sterilizations and over 275,000 euthanasia deaths that
found its most radical manifestation in the death of millions of
“racial” enemies in the Holocaust.
This campaign was based in part on ideas about public health and
genetic “fitness” that had grown out of the inclination of many late
nineteenth century scientists and intellectuals to apply the Darwinian
concepts of evolution to the problems of human society. These ideas
became known as eugenics and found a receptive audience in countries as
varied as Brazil, France, Great Britain, and the United States. But in
Germany, in the traumatic aftermath of World War I and the subsequent
economic upheavals of the twenties, eugenic ideas found a more virulent
expression when combined with the Nazi worldview that espoused both
German racial superiority and militaristic ultranationalism.”

What does Trump actually believe on climate change?
US President Donald Trump’s position on climate change has been in the
spotlight again, after he criticised “prophets of doom” at the World
Economic Forum in Davos.
At the event, which had sustainability as its main theme, and
activist Greta Thunberg as its star guest, Mr Trump dismissed
“alarmists” who wanted to “control every aspect of our lives” – while
also expressing the US’s support for an initiative to plant one trillion
trees.
If you judge the president based on his words alone, his views on climate change appear contradictory – and confusing.
He has called climate change “mythical”, “nonexistent”, or “an
expensive hoax” – but also subsequently described it as a “serious
subject” that is “very important to me”.

The Satanic Temple – Grey Faction and Doug Mesner/Lucien Greaves (both aliases) – 2000 – 2020
Calling science psuedoscience:
1) Denial that memories can be repressed.“The notion that traumatic events can be repressed and later recovered is the most pernicious bit of folklore ever to infect psychology and psychiatry. It has provided the theoretical basis for ‘recovered memory therapy’ — the worst catastrophe to befall the mental health field since the lobotomy era.” Prof. Richard McNally” “ the scourge of repressed memory pseudoscience in mental health care” https://greyfaction.org/
https://www.theravive.com/therapedia/dissociative-amnesia-dsm–5-300.12-(f44.0)
“Dissociative amnesia (DA) is one of three dissociative disorders listed
under DSM-V. The disorder involves the temporary loss of recall memory
caused by disassociation, which may last for a period of seconds or
years. The interruption in memory may be voluntary or involuntary and is
most often a result of psychological trauma. DA involves episodic
autobiographical memory loss inconsistent with normal forgetfulness.
Episodic autobiographical information is associated with contextual
information, such as what happened in the minutes leading up to a
traumatic event. The individual may, however, remember semantic
autobiographical information such as the date, time and weather
conditions of the accident. Dissociative amnesia often arises from
traumatic childhood events.”
2) Denial that DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) is caused by trauma.
Pope Interview
You’ve treated some thousand-odd patients, many of whom experienced extreme trauma, from what I understand –
Yes.
And you didn’t see evidence of DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder,
otherwise known as Multiple Personality Disorder) in any of them?
I have seen a number of people who were diagnosed with DID, or where the
patients themselves felt that they had DID, so it depends on what you
mean by the question. In other words, there are certainly people that
I’ve seen that were quite convinced that they did have different
personalities that had amnesia for one another. But, even though it was
“real” in the sense that the patients believed that they had it, I’m not
convinced that it was real in the sense that it was a naturally
occurring phenomenon, as opposed to something that had occurred through
the power of suggestion.
https://greyfaction.org/resources/grey-faction-reports/pope-interview/
“Dissociative identity disorder. Formerly known as multiple
personality disorder, this disorder is characterized by alternating
between multiple identities. A person may feel like one or more voices
are trying to take control in their head. Often these identities may
have unique names, characteristics, mannerisms and voices. People with
DID will experience gaps in memory of every day events, personal
information and trauma…
Causes
Dissociative disorders usually develop as a way of dealing with trauma.
Dissociative disorders most often form in children exposed to long-term
physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Natural disasters and combat can
also cause dissociative disorders.”

Conclusions
It could be stated that each of the three negative social movements
above served a purpose (at least in part) to help the rich get richer.
Nazism was used to stop communism. The American Conservative
Movement has been used to shift wealth from the poor and middle classes
to the upper classes. The Grey Faction has been used to discredit those
fighting cult abuse. Cults at times are used for sex trafficking, drug
smuggling and other high profit activities.
All three negative social movements have used nefarious techniques
to manipulate and control opinion and stifle accurate social debate
through harassment and misrepresentation of facts. The Grey Faction has
attacked theories regarding different forms of social suggestion, such
as post hypnotic suggestion and the existence of certain cults and mind
control techniques controlling different aspects of society.
Knowledge is power. It appears these groups share techniques causing
harm to those around them. By exposing these techniques, we can develop
healthy social movements meant to help and not hurt others.
