TL;DR: These two cases of SRA are tied to one another, and in turn tied to the Salem Witches.
The Salem Witches are generational Satanists, and we expect that such people practice Satanic Ritual Abuse. Up to now, the evidence that the Salem Witches did so was tenuous, with only one single example presented. That is, I had found and documented the Parker family as being the most prominent of the Salem Witches, and quite some time later I connected it circumstantially to an interview I had heard with testimony from a man who had broken with his generational Satanist family:
The Higherside Chats: Jay Parker | Satanic Ritual Abuse, Entity Invocation, & The Power of Consciousness (12/9/2017)
(You’ll have to forgive me, but only first hour is free and the second is behind a paywall. I’m sure you can locate other interviews with Jay if you want. For me, I had really heard enough after two hours.)
I have never studied SRA because (1) I was grossed out, (2) I came to believe a lot of the first-person testimonies were horror porn fiction to misdirect, and (3) I never regarded study of it as valuable in helping me understand the world. Here, I’m finally moved to exhibit the exceptions to (3). I still don’t find the details instructive we won’t discuss them, given that there are plenty of other analyses.
Do you know what I consider the first thing to know about Satanic Ritual Abuse? It is that Wikipedia does not have a page on it. “They” are so shit-scared of the concept entering the public consciousness that they refuse to allow it even that minimal existence. Deep conspiracy theorist that I am, that alone says a lot about its legitimacy.
In fact, they define Reality(tm) by only allowing a page called “Satanic panic”. Understand clearly that is, in fact, nothing other than the cover story after the pot boiled over too publicly too many times. They continue to define Reality(tm) by allowing an incomplete page called “List of satanic ritual abuse allegations”. The fact that they left off The Finders indicates that I should personally add it to my page, “List of satanic ritual abuse confirmed cases”.
I’m going to do a solid for everyone that wants to disbelieve all this “Salem Witch” nonsense and/or “Satanic Ritual Abuse” bullshit: I will exhibit and analyze only three items of evidence. Not a lot to metaphorically wave away with your hands, is it?
I always like to describe how I get here to reiterate that there is no “grand plan”, but stumbling around can lead you many interesting places as long as you’re paying attention. I was listening to an old back catalog podcast about The Finders and heard something novel, leading me right to the middle:
Big Story. FBI accidentally leaks documents proving satanic rituals inside McMartin Pre-School. Truly horrifying. (r/DeFranco 10/27/2019)
In short, buried deep in a long FBI document concerning The Finders, there was an anomalous two-page “leak” substantiating the McMartin case. These are both old cases, but I had never heard there was this nexus between them. Whenever you hear about something you feel you should have heard about before, that’s a flashing light that it’s time to pay attention.
Since the show was about The Finders (movement), that’s where I looked first. BTW, if you think someone clever could just find a Salem Witch link in any wiki page, pick one out at random and give it a try. Good luck. Actually, if you find one, be sure to let me know. Anyway, the first item of evidence was that FBI document, so here is our second:
Robert Gardner Terrell, who owned one of the raided properties, claimed "We are rational people ... not devil worshipers or child molesters" and "anything we've done is based on the desire for the children to have the richest life they could have."
Obviously, Gardner is not a typical given name. In the style of the Elites, that would be his mother’s maiden name, used to reflect her bloodline. We say that they’re “generational” and They ain’t kidding around about that. Seriously, have you ever in your life known anyone who had his or her mother’s maiden name used that way? Me neither.
Here I refer you to Giles Corey (1611-1692). In one of the highlights of the Salem Witch kabuki, this 81-year-old man was accused of witchcraft, after which he refused to enter a guilty or not guilty plea. He was therefore subjected to “peine forte et dure”, which consisted of piling heavy rocks on him. After three days, he died of being crushed. Brave and stunning, right?
Before all that purported smushing, though, his acquaintance tried to talk him out of his fictional stand against narrative injustice. That man is apparently recorded in history only as “Captain Gardner of Nantucket”. We have no more specific information on him, but it is admitted he was a member of the Gardner family of whalers.
I’ve never written formally about the Gardners before, but wiki admits they intermarried with the Coffin (whaling family) whom I’ve mentioned many times. Their intermarriage with other Salem Witch lines out of Nantucket goes far beyond that. The Gardner that came from England to Salem and then on to Nantucket was Richard Gardner Sr. (abt. 1622 - 1688). See if you recognize the married names of his daughters. And just to give you a taste of who we’re dealing with Gardner-wise, we can pick a random Thomas Gardner (politician) (1724-1775):
On the date of his death, July 3, 1775, Gardner was the second-highest ranking American officer killed at Bunker Hill. His funeral services were attended by General George Washington.
Just outside the spotlight of history and right on brand, eh? Did he really die? Who knows, but that is all I have to add to the corpus of research on The Finders. Moving on to the other case….
The first thing I have to say about the McMartin preschool trial is not the third item of evidence, but something I thought worth mentioning somewhere. In the “See also” section of that wiki page, a small number of other such scandals are mentioned, only seven to be exact. One of them is the Martensville satanic sex scandal, which you will see is also known as the “Martensville Nightmare”.
Now, I get that it’s a common name and that neither one is an exact match, but you should be reminded that one of the alleged witches purportedly executed at Salem was Susannah Martin. Strange, isn’t it? There was also a very odd tie-in between her and actor John Cusack, so she was more than your run-of-the-mill fake witch.
As to the case itself, well, we’re not going to talk about what happened. You see, in practice, “what happened” is only what They can make you perceive at any time in the future. A form of retconning, if you will. Our third item of evidence is a prime example of that:
David Shaw of the Los Angeles Times wrote a series of articles, which later won the Pulitzer Prize, discussing the flawed and skewed coverage presented by his own paper on the trial. It was only after the case that coverage of the flaws in the evidence and events presented by witnesses and the prosecution were discussed.
Let me ask you: how often do newspapers go back to clear up their own flawed and skewed coverage? From experience, you may have concluded it was considered uncouth or even some sort of physical impossibility. We have it in this case, though, don’t we? It was even a prize winner! For reference, this is the same era that the LA Times went way out of their way to say that Gary Webb was full of shit.
Did you catch the name of the writer? David Shaw. Now, there’s no link to Salem in 1692 that I know of yet, but it turns out that about five years after the phony hubbub died down, a hauntingly similar set of witch trials erupted in Scotland involving the “Paisley witches”. They centered on the purported victim, the daughter of the Laird of Bargarran named Christian Shaw.
Is that mere coincidence? Maybe, but I would additionally submit for consideration that David looks a lot more like a plant than a real journalist. Wiki comes close to saying this themselves:
During his tenure at the Los Angeles Times, Shaw was given the opportunity to spend weeks to months working on an investigation of a single topic that drew his attention, in contrast to the typical day-by-day reporting of most covering the news media.
His career as an author of books seems like a joke. He began in 1973 with a biography of Wilt Chamberlain. His last book in 1996 was The Pleasure Police: How Bluenose Busybodies and Lily-Livered Alarmists Are Taking All the Fun Out of Life. A review in The New York Times describes that:
Under his pen, the details often acquire extravagantly refined proportions in discussions, say, of his beloved panatelas or the charms of his second wife.
Do you really think that this guy was a journalist so serious he simply could not stand that his own newspaper had fallen short of the most rigorous standards of reporting? And that when he called them out, they were themselves so scrupulous that they published it and got him a Pulitzer, instead of spiking it and firing his ass? Seriously? If so, then you can choke this down too:
A 1999 report, running to 37,000 words, documented an unpublicized deal between the paper and the Staples Center under which a special Sunday supplement covering the arena would be published, with the proceeds from advertising split between the two…. The report publicly criticized the parent company's CEO Mark H. Willes, publisher Kathryn M. Downing, and Shaw's boss, editor Michael Parks.
What kind of employee gets away with that kind of shit? I would suggest made men and Salem Witches. We find more Salem Witches in the….
Longest bonus ever: Did you note the LA Times CEO who put up with all of Shaw’s shit but also thought Gary Webb should STFU and just blow his own head off? It turns out that Mark H. Willes is quite a scumbag. He was president of the Minneapolis Fed for several years, but his claim to fame is when he was president, COO, and vice chair of General Mills: “For his cost-cutting and elimination of many jobs, he was widely dubbed ‘The Cereal Killer’”. Catchy!
His real claim to fame—to my way of thinking—is that he was yet another one of those Elite douches whose middle name reflects his mother’s bloodline. That “H.” stands for “Hinckley”. Surprise! Actually, I really was surprised at something: his maternal uncle is Gordon Bitner Hinckley (1910-2008), the "15th president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from March 1995 until his death in January 2008". Heavy hitter!
I suspect you were thinking of John Hickley Jr., weren’t you? That’s a solid guess. John seems like a nullity, but he’s at the center of a lot of material I’ve written up in the past, including posts on the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, Jodie Foster, and weird associations having to do with “Evergreen”. Apologies if you read through that material and find it doesn’t crisply cohere and coincide with later material. That’s because you’re reading it as and at the time I found it, and I constantly come across new evidence and connections.
To make up for that: another surprise! You weren’t wrong! It turns out that Gordon the Mormon and John the Patsy are indeed related. Buckle in for some history and genealogy. Start with John Warnock Hinckley, Jr. (1955-). Keep driving up through the “Son of” link and you’ll eventually arrive at Samuel Hinckley, I (1589-1662). He arrived on the Hercules in 1635—which is the year the main body of these Satanists came—and settled in Scituate, MA.
Now go to President Gordon Bitner Hinckley (1910-2008). Drive up through the “Son of” links to arrive at… Samuel I again. You also will have passed through one of Samuel’s sons, Thomas Hinckley, Governor of Plymouth Colony (1620-1706). Plymouth Colony was just south of the Massachusetts Bay Colony where Salem and Boston were located. Another heavy hitter, eh?
If you wish a closer connection to Salem, I can give you that. Look at the list of passengers on the Hercules who settled in Scituate along with Samuel I. You’ll find brothers William and Thomas Harris. They soon joined a guy named Roger Williams. In some famous dumb bullshit story, Roger got kicked out of Salem in 1635 but he went and founded Rhode Island instead. So I guess it worked out okay, like it always does for Salem Witches.
It turns out that Rev. Roger Williams, Founder of Rhode Island (1603-1683) had two sons, one of whom began having children in 1670 and the other in 1678. At the center of the trials was a certain Abigail Williams, Salem Witch Accuser (1680-1697) with “parentage unknown”. Just one of those mysteries who Abigail’s dad might have been.
Thanks for reading! Hope you found some surprises!
Thank you very much! Crazy people yell out into the void, but when you're sane it's not that much fun. I appreciate the support more than you know!
It's been a long, strange trip and it's going to get much longer. Great to have company.
