Judith Herman: “In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence her absolutely, he tries to make sure no one listens.” Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence – From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror

Ritual Abuse as Mind Control – Wendy Hoffman
Rituals are common practice in satanic culture. This presentation explores how every moment of a ritual is used for mind control. Its purpose is to capture the minds of its victims and enforce its programs. Traumatic emotions are also an important part of mind control, and they will be discussed.
Wendy Hoffman has published four memoirs, three books of poetry and a co-authored book of essays. She does consultations for therapists working in the field of dissociative disorders and presentations on mind control internationally.
Family-Based Human Trafficking, Ritual Abuse, and Coercive Mind Control: One Father’s Fight for His Daughter
Iain Bryson’s daughter was taken fifteen years ago by his first wife and her family after she told him that her family was a “cult” and that she would be taking their daughter back to them because of “mind control.” At the time, Iain had no understanding of ritual abuse or trauma-based mind control, and only after his daughter’s abduction did he begin to reconcile his wife’s warnings with signs he had previously been unable to see. After seeking help from local and international authorities and receiving little assistance despite his daughter being a U.S. citizen, Iain attempted to expose what had happened and ultimately became entangled in the Polish criminal justice system, where he was incarcerated for fifty months before his release in 2015.
In 2024, Iain Bryson published an evidence-based, documentary-style memoir about his daughter’s abduction and continues to advocate for his daughter and raise awareness about ritual abuse and survivors’ experiences. Iain Bryson holds a Master’s degree in Political Science from the University of Connecticut (2003).
A Survivor’s Spiritual Journey – Neil Brick
Neil will discuss how he has worked through his survivor experiences and has grown as a person. He will talk about how his advocacy and service have helped him learn more about himself and others. He will discuss the different spiritual paths he has worked with to lead a happier and more mindful life.
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
The conference is sponsored by S.M.A.R.T., a newsletter that examines the possible connections between ritual abuse and secretive organizations. SMARTNEWS@aol.com http://ritualabuse.us/
