Survivor Article

The following article is from Jeanne Adams. Contact information will follow this article. This article contains descriptions of rituals, which may be very triggering. All accusations are alleged.

Masonic Ritual Abuse: Another Survivor Account by Jeanne Adams, Mr. Light & Associates

Survivor accounts relate the existence of secret societies inside secret societies, where factions of fraternal organizations, church congregations, and government agencies are actively involved in covert destructive cult activities. My own ritual cult involvement is an example of this phenomenon.

My father was employed as an attorney for the state government in Sacramento, California. Although his professional career was distinguished, I believe he controlled his family through violence and his clandestine social activities included alleged involvement in a child sex ring. I believe we children were driven to affluent homes, taken upstairs, drugged and used for sexual purposes. By 1958, my father had been recruited into satanic cult activity. Beliefs were taught that suited my father well. Group ceremonies indulged him in his addiction to sexualized violence. Rituals provided an outlet for his rage. Abuse was used to achieve power.

The local group my father participated in was made up of approximately 30 people who had ties to the community. Like the bottom rung of a corporate ladder, the cult framework extended beyond that small group. Periodically trainers were brought in from outside the group to assist in our instruction. Less frequently, a high position cult leader would schedule a visit and attend one of our meetings. As a child, I knew the “Grand [Somebody]” was coming and my level of training would be severely monitored.

I have suspected the collusion of the Ku Klux Klan, particularly in the procuring of a black male victim, but I cannot be certain. The colors of hoods and robes varied at some of our meetings, so they could have been cult rather than klan. I believe that the Masons were clandestinely linked to our cult activity. I was taken to a Masonic Temple on at least two occasions. In one instance, I was presented to a group of men who sat among two rows of chairs along one wall. Towards the center of the room, there was a table resembling an altar. With five to eight other children, I was forced to walk naked in front of them.

On a night close to Halloween, I allege I was taken to a Masonic Temple in or near San Francisco. The temple had been set up on the inside as a haunted house. Sections of a larger room were partitioned to create smaller instructional areas. Some of the teachings contained anti-Christian themes. I allege the abuse included torture and sexual assault. In the following paragraphs, the incident has been recounted by a child alter.

Daddy says the group has put together a treat for selected children. It’s for Halloween. It’s like a haunted house, but it’s there to teach us. I’m suppose to learn from it and appreciate everything they did for me.

I am laying on the floorboard of the car. I’m scared to go inside. There is a man walking up to the car. He is my daddy’s friend. He’s been waiting for my daddy to come. He’s going to walk us inside. The building is big. It looks like white stone. Near the top it says, “Masonic Temple.” There are lights on the porch and steps going up.

The inside isn’t light like the outside. There is a long hallway with doors to other rooms. Daddy says, “Stand still. Don’t go into the other rooms. Demons are waiting there.”

There are other grown ups here too. They keep saying, “Come to the temple, little girl. Come into the ho-oo-oly temple.” They are trying to sound scary like ghosts. There is a man sitting at a table. He is wearing a black robe. He is holding a hatchet. It looks like an ax, but it’s littler. He says that I have to pay to get into the haunted house. He is going to cut off one of my hands for the payment. He grabs my hand and holds it down on the table. Before he cuts it off, he looks under the table. He says he has an extra one, so he doesn’t have to cut mine off.

We walk into the first room. Daddy is with me. They tell me to feel something with my hands. I don’t want to. I don’t think I remember anything else about the first room. The second room is a curtain with holes in it. They call it the second room, but it’s just part of a great big room that’s been divided up. The curtain means the second room. I have to stand in front of the curtain. Big black arms grab at me through the holes. It’s suppose’ ta be a spider grabbing its prey. I’m caught in its web and can’t get out. Like a spider, it’s going to suck my blood. He yells at me, “Stay away from curtains with holes in them!” He doesn’t think my blood will taste right, so he’s not going to use it. He tells me to go on.

This room is the Blood of the Lamb room. A grown up says, “Keep your head down. Blood drips from the ceiling. Don’t let it get on you, especially your face. It will burn holes through your skin. You will be hideous! Stay away from the blood of the lamb.” The next room has a little table. One man is standing behind the table. Two other men are standing to the side talking to each other. There are two items on the table. The man wants to show them to me. They look like pieces of rubber. One is soft and weak and limp. The other is strong and straight and hard. The powerful one is like his master, the Evil One. Which one would I like? The men are laughing. I don’t want either of them. I just want them to leave me alone. They say they have a special treat for me. [Crying] [Sexual Assault]

I am in a different room. It’s hot in here. There is one chair. A man says, “Sit down. The chair is cool.” I don’t believe him. I don’t want to sit down, but he makes me. Nothing happens, so it must be true. He asks me, “What did you learn in the rooms?” I learned to stay away from curtains with holes in them or my blood will get sucked out. I learned to stay away from the blood of the lamb. He wants to know what else I learned. I don’t remember. He says I must remember or they’ll have to repeat it all over again. I’ll lose my hands, fingers, feet and toes. I must remember or I can never get out. They will suck me dry. Use me up. To get out, I have to remember.

Somebody says, “Pain will help. Pain makes you strong. It will help you remember what you must remember and forget what you must forget.” They are going to hang me upside down from a pole. They are tying my feet and wrists. They keep repeating, “Hands, fingers, feet and toes, Blood goes to your head Then it bubbles out your nose” A man asks me, “Do you feel it in your head? Soon it will come out your nose.”

My father was never a member of the Masons, nor did he join any other lodges or service organizations that I am aware of. His only professional affiliations were the Sacramento County and California State Bar Associations. The man who met us at our car before going into the temple that night was a colleague of my father’s and a family friend. Both men had worked together in the Los Angeles area before moving to Sacramento. I believe this other individual was a member of the Masons.

Letters

The following letter was printed in the Hartford Advocate. It is a reply to the article “Losing Our Minds – Many Americans believe in government conspiracies — and why not?!” by Christina V. Tormey (3/2/00) at http://www.hartfordadvocate.com/articles/conspiracies.html

Hartford Advocate, 100 Constitution Plaza, Hartford, CT 06103 – www.hartfordadvocate.com – Vol. 27, No. 21, May 25, 2000 – Pg. 3 (Letters to the editor are not listed at the URL.)

Who’s Crazy?

I was very disappointed by the article, “Losing Our Minds” by Christina V. Tormey, (Hartford Advocate, 3/2/00). In my opinion, Ms. Tormey uses several propaganda techniques. She uses the words, “crazy” and “paranoid” to describe Ms. Taylor and her story. The usage of negative names, intentional or unintentional, is to discredit the person they are being used on, without discussing the facts of the debate or topic. Nowhere in the article is there an investigation of the facts of Ms. Taylor’s life.

Nowhere in the article does she mention reports similar to Ms. Taylor’s that would have corroborated much of what she said. She also only presents one side of the argument of the recovered memory debate.

I do appreciate the fact that she mentions the fact that MK-ULTRA existed, a fact well documented and corroborated by congressional testimony and court hearings. Unfortunately, she concludes that these experiments were ended in the 60’s, a supposition totally unproven and contradicted by the numerous survivor stories of the last ten years.

She also seems to ignore the huge amounts of data given to her that back up the existence of repressed memory and its recovery as well as the accuracy of a great deal of this data. She states, “Instead memories are easily distorted after an event, simply by a suggestive question.” Much of the data to back this up has been critiqued. Furthermore, this has not been found to apply to traumatic memory, since traumatic memory is believed to be stored differently in the brain.

For those that are interested in hearing the other side of the story about ritual abuse, mind control and recovered memory, one that has many peer reviewed studies, court cases and anecdotal data to back it up, visit:

<http://members.aol.com/smartnews/research.html>. Or to hear about several well documented legal cases pertaining to this issue, visit <http://members.aol.com/smartnews/fivecases.htm>.

It is unfortunate that for the most part, only one side of the argument was presented in this article. I believe this kind of article will only hurt those still going through and recovering from child abuse, ritual abuse and mind control.

Multiply Journeys to One offers eight courageous stories which explore the spiritual and psychological healing and integration of D.I.D. Although the writers focus their stories on the integration/fusion process of their many inside people rather than on the abuse, some of their backgrounds include incest, familial torture, Satanic Ritual Abuse and programming. By learning to acknowledge, accept, and love each aspect of themselves, the writers exemplify the possibility of healing our divided, compartmentalized world.

The book was edited by two women whose inner journeys have included completely integrating as multiples and working with the issues that created the fractionization. Judy Dragon C.H.T. is a healing practitioner and community educator. Terry Popp Ph.D. is a writer and teacher.

Our mission is to raise the level of understanding among the general population, as well as the healing and helping professions, so that friends, families, co-workers, and individuals might be better equipped to offer the support and encouragement survivors need for their healing and empowerment

Many people have told us that last year’s conference was the safest conference they have ever been to. But, this conference may not necessarily be safe for all survivors. S.M.A.R.T. recommends that you try to bring a support person that is familiar with mind control techniques and staying with that person or another safe person at all times. We also recommend reading the first presentation at our last conference at http://members.aol.com/smartnews/page5/NBpresentation99.htm about conference safety and trigger management.
