Thirty Years of Publishing and Advocacy – Neil Brick
From the 2025 Online Annual Ritual Abuse and Mind Control Conference Presentation – Sunday August 17, 2025
Thirty Years of Publishing and Advocacy – Neil Brick
Neil Brick will discuss how and why he created the SMART
Newsletter. He will talk about how the newsletter and the field of
ritual abuse have changed over the years. He will discuss the importance
of advocacy and public education. Ideas for the future growth of the
field will be discussed.
Neil Brick is a survivor of ritualistic abuse. His work continues to
educate the public about child abuse, trauma and ritualistic abuse
crimes. His child abuse and ritualistic abuse newsletter S.M.A.R.T. https://ritualabuse.us has been published for over 30 years. http://neilbrick.com
Parts of this presentation may be triggering and may describe abuse or violence. All accusations are alleged.
In March 2025, SMART celebrated thirty years of printing newsletters. The newsletter has been published bi-monthly since March 1995. In July 2025, we published our 183rd
issue. Originally the newsletter was only mailed to subscribers. In
March 1996, we began publishing the newsletter online and we started our
email address smartnews@aol.com
. In August 1998, we had our first ritual abuse conference in
Connecticut. We have had yearly summer conferences since then. This is
our twenty eighth conference.
I originally started the newsletter because I believed no one was
fully covering the issue of secretive organizations and groups
involvement in the abuse of others. There were a few newsletters
covering the topic of ritual abuse in the United States and Australia
during the 1990’s. Most of those stopped publishing during that decade.
Survivorship started publishing their newsletter in 1989. Their
publications of their bi-monthly notes and twice a year journals are
still being published today.
Ritual abuse crimes began being fully uncovered in the 1980’s. One of the first books describing these crimes was Michelle Remembers by Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder, MD. Though
the book has been viciously attacked by child abuse skeptics, the
reality is that the facts in the book were vetted by the publisher:
Two experienced interviewers journeyed to Victoria and talked to Dr.
Pazder’s colleagues, to the priests and the bishop who became involved
in the case, to doctors who treated Michelle Smith when she was a child,
to relatives and friends. From local newspaper, clergy, and police
sources they learned that reports of Satanism in Victoria are not
infrequent and that Satanism has apparently existed there for many
years. Satanism in Western Canada flourished in many areas with
activities far more ominous than some of the innocuous groups now found
in parts of the United States who claim some connection with Satanism.
The source material was scrutinized. The many thousands of pages of
transcript of the tape recordings that Dr. Pazder and Michelle Smith
made of their psychiatric sessions were read and digested; they became
the basis of this book. The tapes themselves were listened to in good
measure, and the videotapes made of some of his sessions were viewed.
Both the audio and video are powerfully convincing. It is nearly
unthinkable that the protracted agony they record could have been
fabricated.@ (A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER@ pages xi B xiii).
Dr. Alison Miller also verified the existence of ritual abuse in that area of Canada.
“I can add more about Michelle Remembers. Larry Pazder
practised in the same city as me, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I
knew him slightly and once shared a case of a teenage boy with DID
caused by abuse by a babysitter. It was in Victoria that I encountered
my first four survivors of organized abuse, and they were all members of
the same coven of a Satanic cult, the Serpents. They shared past and
(then, early 90s) current memories of abuse by that cult. Some of their
parents were leaders in the cult. They remembered rituals at the same
locations that Michelle reported (in particular, Ross Bay cemetery.)…I
have no question that he and Michelle were talking about very real
events.” (correspondence with the SMART newsletter).
The McMartin Day Care Case was the one of the first
major day care cases to uncover ritual abuse crimes in detail. There
has been a great deal of misinformation produced about this case by
skeptics of ritual abuse crimes. This case began in 1983 and ended in
1991.
In February 1984 seven defendants were arrested and charged with 207
counts of child molestation and conspiracy. On April 2, 1984, the L. A.
Times reported that students at McMartin had been fondled, raped,
drugged, photographed nude, forced to witness animals being slaughtered
and threatened to keep silent. In May 23, 1984, the prosecution filed 93
new counts. The indictment count reaches 208, involving 40 alleged
child victims. On August 8, 1984, Prosecutor Lael Rubin announced that
the seven McMartin teachers committed 397 sexual crimes, in addition to
the 115 for which they already faced charges.
On January 7, 1985, Doctor Astrid Heger testified that she found
physical evidence of sexual assaults on 33 of the child witnesses. On
June 11, 1985, Judge Bobb ruled that child witnesses will not be allowed
to use the new statute allowing child victims of abuse to testify over
closed circuit TV. The prosecution immediately announced that it would
not call any of its remaining witnesses. Only 5 of those 28 were willing
to testify at all and then only by way of closed-circuit TV. Six other
witnesses dropped out because Rubin said they could not withstand even
the protective TV procedure. The remaining 16 witnesses had been
withdrawn by their parents after they saw the effects of lengthy
cross‑examination on the early witnesses. This reduces the number of
witnesses from 43 to 13 and, as a result, the reduces the number of
counts.
On January 17, 1986, before the case is assigned to a trial judge
and after losing 28 witnesses because of brutal defense tactics during
the pretrial weakened the case, District Attorney Ira Reiner decides to
drop charges against five of the seven defendants. Reiner tells parents
that Betty Raidor has enough remaining counts to face trial, but says he
thinks she would not fit in prosecuting mother and son, Peggy and Ray
Buckey. The two are prosecuted on 79 counts and 20 counts, respectively,
of child sexual abuse.
In August 1987 the first victim witness, a girl now age 12, takes
the stand as a witness for the prosecution. October 12, 1987, Judge
Pounders dismisses 27 of the 100 counts. Some parents again refuse to
let their children testify under adverse conditions.
December 10, 1987, a retired former police investigator Paul Bynum
is called to testify at the trial by prosecutor Lael Rubin. The morning
he was to appear, a juror’s home was burglarized and Bynum’s testimony
was rescheduled for the next morning. Bynum was found dead by his wife
at 5:45 that morning, shot in the head by a .38 caliber pistol. Bynum
had conducted the first search for evidence at the preschool site in
1984 at the request of Ray Buckey. ANone of the half dozen people
questioned who were close to Bynum could think of any reason why his
involvement in the case might have driven him to suicide, reported Kevin
Cody of the Easy Reader in Manhattan Beach. “Paul was kind of a
worrier,” said Stephen Kay, a deputy district attorney and friend of the
Bynum family, “but there was no hint of suicide. He was very upbeat
about his wife and new daughter, both of whom he adored.”
In January 18, 1990, the jury returns its verdict in the first
McMartin trial. Peggy and Ray Buckey are acquitted on 52 counts. The
jury deadlocks on 13 counts, all against Ray Buckey. The jurors are
polled and say they believe molestation took place at the preschool but
that the prosecution did not prove the case. They expressed
disappointment at not hearing more from the children.
In April and May 1990 Tunnels are found under the foundation of the
McMartin Preschool building by a team of Archaeologists headed by Dr.
Gary Stickel. Ground Penetrating Radar recently developed by the U.S.
Army is used to define the location of anomalies underground. Three
segments of tunnel, one over 45 feet in length with a 9 x 9 room area
are found exactly where the children said they were. District Attorney
does not use the evidence because of time and money constraints and the
fact that they would have to start a new investigation of their own at
the site as they did in 1985. The discoveries are widely reported in the
news. (Archaeological Investigations of the McMartin Preschool Site,
Manhattan Beach, California
In July 27, 1990, on their 15th day of deliberations, the jury tells
the judge they are hopelessly deadlocked on all 8 counts. The judge
declares a mistrial. Juror L. I., a 64 year old treasury department
employee said, “I don’t know how you could get 12 people to be unanimous
in this case. There are too many unanswered questions. Too much time
has passed.” Again because of money and time constraints, DA Ira Reiner
decides not to ask for a third trial of Ray Buckey. The first two
prosecutions have consumed over $15 million and seven years of court
time. He is under tremendous political pressure because he has failed in
prosecuting the case.
In the early 1990’s accounts of government mind control began to be discussed.
One of the most well-known of these was the “The Greenbaum Speech.”
This was a presentation at a conference called Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual
Abuse by D. C. Hammond Ph.D. in 1992. It was Adelivered at the Fourth
Annual Eastern Regional Conference on Abuse and Multiple Personality,
Thursday June 25, 1992, at the Radisson Plaza Hotel, Mark Center,
Alexandria, Virginia. Sponsored by the Center for Abuse Recovery &
Empowerment. D. C. Hammond was a well-trained psychologist. His
credentials are cited in the link below this section.
Hypnosis in MPD: Ritual Abuse
“Okay. I want to start off by talking a little about trance‑training
and the use of hypnotic phenomena with an MPD dissociative‑disorder
population, to talk some about unconscious exploration, methods of doing
that, the use of imagery and symbolic imagery techniques for managing
physical symptoms, input overload, things like that. Before the day’s
out, I want to spend some time talking about something I think has been
completely neglected in the field of dissociative disorders, and that’s
talking about methods of profound calming for automatic hyper‑arousal
that’s been conditioned in these patients.”
“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.” https://ritualabuse.us/smart‑conference/2023‑conference/the‑effects‑of‑social‑movements‑on‑survivor‑support‑systems‑and‑survivor‑recovery‑neil‑brick
In March 1995 therapist Valerie Wolf and her patient Claudia
Mullen testified at the Presidential Advisory Committee on Human
Radiation Experiments.
“My name is Valerie Wolf. In listening to the testimony today, it
all sounds really familiar. I am here to talk about a possible link
between radiation and mind control experimentation that began in the
late 1940’s. The main reason that mind control research is being
mentioned is because people are alleging that they were exposed as
children to mind control, radiation, and chemical experimentation which
were administered by the same doctors who were known to be involved in
conducting both radiation and mind control research. Written
documentation has been provided revealing the names of people, and the
names of research projects in statements from people across the country.
It is also important to understand mind control techniques and
follow‑ups into adulthood may have been used to intimidate particular
research subjects into not talking about their victimization in
government research. As a therapist for the past twenty‑two years, I
have specialized in treating victims and perpetrators of trauma, and
their families. When word got out that I was appearing at this hearing,
nearly forty therapists across the country (and I had about a week and a
half to prepare) contacted me to talk about clients who had reported
being subjected to radiation and mind control experiments. The
consistency of people’s stories about the purpose of the mind control
and pain induction techniques, such as electric shock, use of
hallucinogens, sensory deprivation, hypnosis, dislocation of limbs, and
sexual abuse is remarkable.” (CKLN‑FM Mind Control Series ‑‑ Part 3

A good articles about the research on DID and ritual abuse and the cover up by child abuse skeptics is Disinformation and DID: the Politics of Memory by Brian Moss, MA, MFT https://ritualabuse.us/research/did/disinformation‑and‑did‑the‑politics‑of‑memory
This article contains information about now closed The False Memory
Syndrome Foundation (FMSF). AIn March of 1992 the False Memory Syndrome
Foundation was formed claiming to have discovered a new syndrome.
“Syndrome” is a clinical term that requires certain agreed upon signs
and symptoms indicative of a disorder. The FMSF definition of “false
memory” does not meet these criteria: Despite the fact that “False
Memory Syndrome” remained undefined and had never been the subject of
any research, the FMSF focused its early activities on influencing the
media and legal system. The definition of “False Memory Syndrome” did
not evolve from clinical studies; rather the purported syndrome’s
description is based on the accounts of parents claiming to be falsely
accused of child sexual abuse, usually by their adult daughters.
(Disinformation and DID: the Politics of Memory)
The FMSF group started in the early 1990s. In the 1980s and the
early 1990s, there was mixed coverage of ritual abuse crimes, some
favorable coverage and some unfavorable. By the mid-1990s, most of the
media coverage about ritual abuse crimes was biased and unfavorable.
I started remembering ritual abuse memories in 1990
when I stopped using alcohol and I moved away from the area where I
grew up. I had already started a period of self exploration prior to
this, meditating and working on building meditative mind states. There
was very little information available at that time. A few years later I
found about Survivorship and other ritual abuse newsletters. In SMART
Issue 4 – September 1995 (https://ritualabuse.us/2008/10/issue‑4‑september‑1995/
) I republished a copy of an interview I did with S.O.A.R. (Survivors
of Abusive Rituals) in July 1993. I discussed my allegations of Masonic
Ritual Abuse and my healing process at that time. The first ten issues
of SMART in 1995 and 1996 covered allegations against the Masons and the
Mormons. In 1997, we started to cover the issues of Government Mind
Control (as discussed above in the Presidential Advisory Committee on
Human Radiation Experiments.) In our seventeenth issue we have an
article about Claudia Mullen. https://ritualabuse.us/2008/10/issue‑17‑november‑1997/
We also have a search engine bar at our website https://ritualabuse.us in the top right-hand corner.
This following may be very triggering for RA/MC survivors.
In our thirty-fourth issue in September 2000, I discussed how I
realized that I am an alleged survivor of mk‑ultra programming, and
Illuminati programming. I had known for many years that I was a survivor
of alleged Masonic ritual abuse. The last few years I had been having
more memories about being experimented on in lab settings and
electroshocked. While talking to friends, I had a very strong emotional
feeling, like I had been hit by an incredible wind in my midsection, and
I felt very disorientated. I realized that all sorts of walls had gone
down in my system and that I was very confused and disorientated, like
spin programming. I really knew at that moment I was Illuminati. This
fits with the Masonic piece I had talked about for years.
I didn’t fully realize this until this particular moment, but I had
always kept my mind open to whatever memories or feelings I had,
thinking about them to see if and how they fit.
After talking to my friends, I had an incredible deal of trouble
finding my way out of where I was via car and drove around lost for
about ten minutes or so until I could find the highway. I realized that
this was a disorientating program that I was supposed to have once I got
to this layer of programming. That whole night until I fell asleep, I
was terrified someone was going to come and get me or kill me because I
had remembered all this. I realized this was also programming. The next
day I felt a lot better, having worked through the feelings accompanying
these programs. I began to work on unraveling the memories and programs
that had been put in me.
I realized that I was trained by delta force programs, to kill. I
had memories of being put on planes with groups of other mk‑ultra delta
survivors to do certain jobs, usually to kill, but sometimes to get
information. My jobs varied on different missions. Sometimes I killed
but I was also supposed to clean up and/or be a lookout.
I have memories of sometimes being drugged or blindfolded or having a
rope tied around me so I wouldn’t know exactly where we were going or
what we were doing. It was usually dark and my vision had never been
very good anyway. Missions were on a “need to know” basis.
Now I realize I am a survivor of Illuminati programming, Masonic
section. The Illuminati symbols had always bothered me, they are
sometimes similar to the Masonic ones and historically, I believe the
groups are connected. I was also used in mk‑ultra type experiments to
see how someone would react and how much pain they could take before
passing out, at least on the East Coast. This fits with my extremely
high pain threshold.
After having all of these memories, I felt like a huge weight had
been lifted off of me. I had not had any major memories in a while. I
also felt much stronger and much more confident. I am now much more
aware of triggers and much more in tune with my gut feelings about what
and who is and isn’t safe. This increased confidence had helped me state
my needs clearer and stronger in my relationships with others. I am
also a lot less afraid and terrified of the world. I think that this is
due to the fact that I have worked through a lot of fear and confusion
or disorientation type programming. I have increased clarity and energy
because I no longer need to hold all of this inside me anymore behind
amnesic barriers. (https://ritualabuse.us/2008/10/issue‑34‑september‑2000/ )
In the early 2000’s. SMART Newsletter began to cover clergy abuse issues and other cult abuse and mind control cases. Though
these cases had been discussed since the 1990’s, they became well known
in 2002. SMART Newsletter March 2002 – Issue 43 discusses a wide
variety of clergy abuse cases including those in the Boston area. https://ritualabuse.us/2008/10/issue‑43‑march‑2002/ These cases showed how severe abuse crimes can be covered up for decades.
One major case was described in Geoghan found guilty of sex abuse –
Boy was assaulted at Waltham pool By Kathleen Burge, Globe Staff,
1/19/2002 AThe Archdiocese of Boston, which has settled 50 civil
lawsuits filed by victims of Geoghan at a cost of at least $10 million,
released a three‑paragraph statement saying it was grateful that a
verdict had been reached….Geoghan has been accused of molesting at least
130 children since the 1960s, but he has been criminally charged with
assaulting just three. Geoghan is also named in 84 civil lawsuits
alleging sexual abuse. https://web.archive.org/web/20020208002253/http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/019/metro/Geoghan_found_guilty_of_sex_abuse+.shtml
In 2008, we published information on the Extreme Abuse Survey. https://extreme‑abuse‑survey.org/ The
Extreme Abuse Survey final results are online with findings,
questionnaires and presentations for download as pdf‑files. More than
750 pages of documentation.

10 Extreme Abuse Survey Findings Helpful to Understanding Ritual Trauma
-
Ritual abuse/mind control (RA/MC) is a global phenomenon.
-
A diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder is common for persons
who report histories of RA/MC. (84% of EAS respondents who answered that
they have been diagnosed with DID [N=655] reported that they are
survivors of RA/MC).
-
Ritual abuse (RA) is not limited to SRA, i.e., satanic ritual abuse, sadistic abuse, satanist abuse.
-
RA is reported to involve mind control techniques.
-
Some extreme abuse survivors report that they were used in government‑sponsored mind control experimentation (GMC).
-
RA/MC is reported to be involved in organized Aknown@ crime.
-
RA/MC is reported to be involved in clergy abuse.
-
Most often reported memories of extreme abuse are similar across all surveys.
-
Most often reported possible aftereffects of extreme abuse are similar across all surveys.
-
In rating the effectiveness of healing methods, therapists tend to
favor stabilization techniques; survivors are more open to alternative
ways to cope with indoctrinated belief systems.

In 2007, Carol Rutz presented at our SMART conference – The World Will Know: Results of the 2007 International Survey For Adult Survivors of Extreme Abuse –
Transcript from Carol Rutz’s presentation at The Tenth Annual Ritual
Abuse, Secretive Organizations and Mind Control Conference, August,
2007. Carol Rutz is a survivor of SRA and Government Mind Control
Experiments. Her book is A Nation Betrayed: Secret Cold War Experiments Performed on our Children and Other Innocent People. https://ritualabuse.us/smart‑conference/conf07/the‑world‑will‑know‑results‑of‑the‑2007‑international‑survey‑for‑adult‑survivors‑of‑extreme‑abuse/
The SMART conference had unfortunately attracted media attacks. We
found that for the most part the media was not interested in being
objective or citing the actual research we had developed over the years.
In 2009, our conference was attended by a now well known child abuse skeptic, Douglas Misicko.
Douglas Misicko has used various aliases to attack survivors. His
best known aliases are Doug Mesner and Lucien Greaves (of the Satanic
Temple). He did not notify the conference that he was a journalist. He
and his group (The Satanic Temple and Grey Faction) has attacked many
other survivor and professional groups, including Survivorship.org and
the ISSTD. His groups have also harassed clinicians, filing licensing
complaints against them. He worked with the False Memory Syndrome
Foundation and has continued their work since they have closed down.
SMART and others groups have successfully rebutted his false claims
against DID sufferers and ritual abuse survivors.
Grey Faction, Satanic Temple and Lucien Greaves Fact Sheet:
For almost 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. https://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/grey‑faction‑satanic‑temple‑and‑lucien‑greaves‑fact‑sheet/
Satanic Temple – Grey Faction Pseudoscience
In March 2020, COVID became a global pandemic. This
changed the world interacted and presented data and research. SMART
moved to online conferences in 2020. This allowed survivors from all
around the world to attend our conference. We posted our conference
presentations online with their pdfs, so that all survivors could watch
the videos, even if they were unable to attend the conference. We
eventually moved our newsletters entirely to email and webpages, no
longer printing and mailing newsletters.
In the thirty years that SMART has been in existence, we
have developed one of the largest databases in the world for survivors
and their supporters.
Our newsletters contain data about child abuse, ritual abuse, cults,
mind control, DID/MPD, dissociation, sex trafficking and trauma. https://ritualabuse.us/newsletter/
All twenty seven of our past conferences are listed at https://ritualabuse.us/smart‑conference/ We have conference transcripts available from 1999 – 2024 and videos available from 2020 – 2024.
We have strong data that shows ritual abuse exists all over the
world. We cite reports, journal articles, web pages and the criminal
convictions of these horrific crimes against children and adults. https://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/
One of the major areas child abuse skeptics have attacked child abuse survivors is the area of ritual abuse day care cases. SMART has worked hard to present accurate information about these criminal cases. https://ritualabuse.us/ritualabuse/articles/day‑care‑and‑child‑abuse‑cases/
We presented information about the McMartin Child Abuse Case and Michelle Remembers above.
Our page also covers the Fells Acres – Amirault Case, the Wenatchee,
Washington Case, the Dale Akiki Case, the Glendale Montessori – Toward
case, the Little Rascals Day Care Center case, Fran’s Day Care case, the
Baran case, the Halsey case, the West Memphis 3 case, the Friedman’s
case, the Christchurch Civic Creche sex abuse – Peter Ellis case, the
Ramona case and the West Point Day Care Case.
We have published research on mk‑ultra, the CIA, mind control, Operation Paperclip and the Nazis, the 1995 congressional hearings, the
2010 veterans vs CIA court case, Artichoke, the CIA Supreme Court
cases, Ewen Cameron and the Sleep Room and the MK/Naomi project. This
includes information on the ACHES hearings discussed above. https://ritualabuse.us/mindcontrol/mc‑documents‑links/ We have had several conference presentations covering these issues.
Here is a small selection of important links. These may be triggering to RA/MC survivors.

SMART has also done extensive research on DID/MPD, dissociation, trauma and recovered memory accuracy. https://ritualabuse.us/research/
This research rebuts the pseudoscientific research of the child abuse skeptics.
Here is a small sampling of our research.
Recovered Memories and Dissociative Amnesia B Scientific Evidence and Accuracy Rates
Recovered memories have been defined as the phenomenon of partially
or fully losing parts of memories of traumatic events, and then later
recovering part or all of the memories into conscious awareness. They
have also been defined as the recollections of memories that are
believed to have been unavailable for a certain period of time. There is
very strong scientific evidence that recovered memories exist. This has
been shown in many scientific studies. The content of recovered
memories have fairly high corroboration rates.
A body of empirical evidence indicates that it is common for abused
children to reach adulthood without conscious awareness of the trauma.
There is scientific evidence in support of the phenomena of dissociation
and recovered memory in Holocaust survivors. https://ritualabuse.us/research/recovered‑memories‑and‑dissociative‑amnesia‑scientific‑evidence‑and‑accuracy‑rates/
Recovered Memory Data with information on recovered
memory corroboration, theories on recovered memory, legal information,
physiological evidence for memory suppression, replies to skeptics and
books and articles on memory. http://ritualabuse.us/research/memory‑fms/recovered‑memory‑data/
Basic Information on Dissociative Identity Disorder
with sections on Basic Information on DID from the DSM IV TR, The
History of DID/MPD, Diagnosing DID, Responses to those that state that
DID is iatrogenic or a social construct, MPD/DID connection to severe
abuse, Recent information and DID resources http://ritualabuse.us/research/did/basic‑information‑on‑didmpd/
Delineates the etiological antecedents of Dissociative
Identity Disorder (DID) and enumerates upon the scientific evidence
proving the existence of DID. This paper explains the
diagnostic criteria of DID, its incidence rates and cross‑cultural
characteristics, present arguments to counter the idea that
suggestibility may be a factor in its misdiagnosis and delineate the
data that shows a clear connection between traumatic wartime experiences
and dissociation and trauma and DID. It considers the historical
development of the debate surrounding DID, including its increased
diagnosis around the turn of the last century, reasons for its decline
in diagnosis in the mid part of the last century and reasons for its
increased diagnosis toward the end of the 20th century. It deliberates
upon the claims made by several researchers that DID can be created in
the laboratory as well as the critiques surrounding those claims. It
discusses the neurobiological evidence proving the connection between
DID and certain neurobiological indicators. Included is a discussion of
the modern theory of iatrogenic DID and a critique of this theory. A
debate about the creation of DID as a social construction and critiques
of this theory are presented as well. It concludes, by presenting the
argument that the research on DID shows it to be a valid psychiatric
diagnosis which robustly meets all the necessary validity requirements. http://ritualabuse.us/research/did/the‑etymological‑antecedents‑of‑and‑scientific‑evidence‑for‑the‑existence‑of‑dissociative‑identity‑disorder/
Stop Mind Control and Ritual Abuse Today
SMART is celebrating our 30th anniversary.
S.M.A.R.T. ritual abuse newsletter was founded in 1995 by Neil Brick. http://neilbrick.com
The purpose of S.M.A.R.T. is to help stop ritual abuse and child
abuse and to help those who have been ritually abused. We work toward
this goal by disseminating information on the connections between
secretive organizations, ritual abuse, and mind control and by providing
resources to survivors of child abuse, ritual abuse and mind control.
We publish scientific information about ritual abuse and trauma crimes.
We have this web site, a bimonthly newsletter, an e‑mail discussion
list, and annual conferences. If you have resources with information
about ritual abuse and mind control, especially information about
secretive organizations, please send them to smartnews@aol.com for
inclusion in the newsletter. Please note: S.M.A.R.T. has no paid
employees and all money paid to S.M.A.R.T. goes toward efforts to
educate survivors and the general public about survivor issues and
research.
Advocacy and public education are crucial to developing a
safer world for children, child and ritual abuse survivors and the
entire world. Trauma can cause severe damage to its victims, as shown by the ACE study https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/aces/about.html
We can prevent trauma, but we need to discuss it and acknowledge its existence. Over
the last thirty years, progress has been made to expose child abuse,
sexual abuse and RA/MC crimes. Many of the sources listed on the
Internet are now pro-survivor and accurate. A few biased ones, like
wikipedia, which has biased and inaccurate pages which attack the
reality of child abuse crimes still unfortunately exist.
ritualabuse.us blacklisted by wikipedia
SMART recommends that people do not use Wikipedia as a source of
information for child abuse or other topics, due to its potential for
having inaccurate and biased information.
The good news is that there are many accurate pages now on the
Internet. Over the last thirty years, the exposure of clergy abuse,
cult abuse, sex trafficking and serial pedophiles with legal
consequences, has helped the general public learn about the high numbers
of abuse and mind control victims.
We still have work to do. People are still strongly affected by
propaganda and mind control. We can fight this by telling the people we
know how to avoid being controlled by these techniques. We need to
publish more research, build more websites and use social networking to
let everyone know about the realities of ritual abuse and mind control.
We have come a long way to exposing RA/MC crimes. As the Extreme Abuse Survey says: The World Will Know
