Home » Ritual Abuse » Mind Control

Perpetrators of organised ritual abuse often deliberately and skilfully manipulate their child victims’ attachment needs, natural development / learning patterns and their capacity for dissociation as a way of controlling the abused, ensure their silence and to sustain the abuse, in many cases into adulthood. Such manipulation amounts to deliberate mind control, but even when there hasn’t been deliberate sophisticated mind control – for instance within a less organised group of pseudo-believers – the extreme abusive practices indulged in by the perpetrators incidentally results in distortions in the child victim’s natural attachment, development and defence systems, possibly including how they use their capacity for dissociation.

ABSTRACT

Just as traditional organised crime like the Italian Mafia was able to hide its existence for many years, so have the organised criminal groups that abuse children in these ways. Through the security and alarm systems implanted in the hidden alter personalities of victims by their abusers, and through the highly planned stories placed in the media and the helping professions about what is going on when a survivor remembers and begins to disclose abuse. Mind controlling perpetrator groups, whether religious, political, or merely criminal, create highly organised, structured personality systems in their victims. Sophisticated abuser groups deliberately create these newly opened circuits, capture them with names and assigned signals, and make use of them. Regardless of the specific ideological content of the mythos of abusive groups, the practice of ritual abuse served to constitute the victimised child and/or woman as polluted and undeserving of love or care.

Becoming Yourself: Overcoming Mind Control and Ritual Abuse 1st Edition, Kindle Edition
by Alison Miller (Author) Format: Kindle Edition


In contrast to the author's previous book, Healing the Unimaginable: Treating Ritual Abuse and Mind Control, which was for therapists, this book is designed for survivors of these abuses. It takes the survivor systematically through understanding the abuses and how his or her symptoms may be consequences of these abuses, and gives practical advice regarding how a survivor can achieve stability and manage the life issues with which he or she may have difficulty. The book also teaches the survivor how to work with his or her complex personality system and with the traumatic memories, to heal the wounds created by the abuse. A unique feature of this book is that it addresses the reader as if he or she is dissociative, and directs some information and exercises towards the internal leaders of the personality system, teaching them how to build a cooperative and healing inner community within which information is shared, each part's needs are met, and traumatic memories can be worked through successfully.

Demystifying ritual abuse: the basics explained

Posted by Recovering Insomniac | 1 Nov 2014 | Explaining dissociation and DID


Most people have heard the term ‘ritual abuse’, in particular ‘satanic ritual abuse’ but the reality is that ritual abuse can exist with or without a belief system linked to religion. Many survivors report that any belief system was secondary to the group’s desire to severely abuse, control and frighten others (Oksana, 1994). Ritual abuse is often referred to as ‘organised abuse’. According to the ISSTD (International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, 2011) a substantial minority of those with complex dissociative disorders (dissociative identity disorder or DDNOS/Other Specified Dissociative Disorder) report having been subject to ritual abuse.

Evidence of ritual abuse that does not involve religious or spiritual beliefs is even more extensively documented. In the United States soon after World War II, the CIA funded military-based ritual abuse programmes known collectively as Project MK-Ultra. Psychiatrists induced amnesia, dissociative identities and new memories (Epstein et al, 2011), while also experimenting with LSD, sensory deprivation, electro-convulsive treatment, brain electrode implants and hypnosis (Ross, 2000). A United States Senate hearing in 1977 entitled Project MK-Ultra: the CIA’s Program of Research into Behavioral Modification investigated these abuses, which were carried out in several countries, and both the US and Canadian governments paid compensation to some survivors of the ‘brainwashing’ experiments. A Scottish psychiatrist, Dr Donald E. Cameron (1901-1967), was extensively documented as carrying out these abuses whilst working with psychiatric patients in Canada (Ross, 2000). Dr Colin Ross, a psychiatrist and researcher in the field of dissociative disorders, published extensive Freedom of Information requests and cited earlier academic research in his book Bluebird: Deliberate Creation of Multiple Personality by Psychiatrists (Ross, 2000). He found that many members of the largely discredited False Memory Syndrome Foundation in America were colleagues of or co-authors with scientists responsible for ritual abuse within MK-Ultra programmes.

COMMON RITUAL ABUSE MYTHS
Myth #1: All ritual abuse is ‘satanic’

Survivors of ritual abuse have reported religious or political motivations within diverse groups including neo-Nazis, Masons, Ku Klux Klan, Catholic Church, Protestant churches, Mormons, Judaism, witchcraft-practising groups (e.g. Wiccan, paganism and neopaganism), voodoo, Santeria, Druid and Celtic rites, crime gangs, the training of child soldiers in Africa, and government experiments (such as MK-Ultra) (Miller, 2012; Oksana, 1994; Miller, 2014). Referring to all ritual abuse as ‘Satanic Ritual Abuse’ (SRA) does a great injustice to survivors of other forms of ritual abuse and, as Salter (2013) states, any assumption that ‘a professed spiritual motivation for abusing children necessarily reflects the offenders’ actual motivation seems naïve at best, and at worst it risks colluding with the ways in which abusive groups obfuscate responsibility for their actions.’

Myth #2: All survivors of ritual abuse have dissociative identity disorder

Whilst many survivors of ritual abuse do have dissociative identity disorder, psychotherapist Dr Alison Miller, who is experienced in working with this client group, believes that the majority have a form of Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (formerly known as DDNOS Type 1), which is similar to DID but in which the separate dissociative parts of the personality do not take executive control of the person’s body (Miller, 2014; ISSTD, 2011). However, as with other forms of abuse, ritual abuse will only lead to a dissociative disorder if the person is subject to the trauma at a sufficiently young age. People who are traumatised later in life will not develop a dissociative disorder, which is partly developmental in nature, but are more likely to develop post traumatic stress disorder (ISSTD, 2011; Lacter, 2011).

Myths which can prevent survivors from healing include the belief that they themselves are evil and a danger to others, that abusers are everywhere, that abusers are extremely powerful or have infinite power (which, if true, would make redundant the need for them to hide their abuse), and that nobody outside the abuser group can be trusted (Matthew, 2001; Miller, 2012). These myths are lies and false beliefs, often intentionally created through the abuse in order to protect the abusive group and encourage a survivor’s lifelong obedience and loyalty (Miller, 2012). A significant number of survivors have however healed from their experiences of ritual abuse and some have written autobiographies of their experiences.

Laurie Matthew, founder of the charity Izzy’s Promise, which supports survivors of ritual abuse, states:

In Who Dares Wins, Laurie Matthew writes:

The process they [abusers in a ritual abuse group] use on survivors is designed to break the will and personality of the person until they become as nothing…with no will of their own…no identity…then they rebuild the person and shape their will

Ritual abuse means robbing a person of their own free will. The survivor becomes a tool of the perpetrator group. The blame and responsibility sits with the abuser(s) who chose to manipulate the child, who taught the child how to perpetrate before forcing or tricking the child into it, and lying to trick the child into taking the blame and believing that they are ‘evil’ (Miller, 2014).

I am not sure if you want opinions or replies to this or if this is just random ranting. However, let's assume that you are a victim of mind control. Does it change anything in your life? If powerful people are doing MKUltra like things to you, its really kind of outside of your ability to control. Maybe you should ignore it and live life the best you can without really letting issues of mind control bother you. I imagine there are parties that attempt mind control on people with MKUltra being documented but there is not a whole lot you can do about that stuff.

Just my two cents,

“Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature such as self preservation? (CIA Document, Project ARTICHOKE, MORI ID 144686, 1952)
As cited by Dr Ellen P. Lacter, p57”

“Some of America's highest profile assassins – including the likes of John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman and Robert Kennedy’s assassin Sirhan Sirhan – claimed they were CIA-programmed killers hypnotized by MK-Ultra. The media portrayed them as crazed lone gunmen, so naturally the public paid little attention to their claims. Kentbridge, however, knew it was possible some of these men were mind controlled soldiers, or Manchurian Candidates, carrying out assassination orders their conscious minds were not even aware of.”

“In 1953, Allen Dulles, then director of the USA Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), named Dr Sidney Gottlieb to direct the CIA's MKULTRA programme, which included experiments conducted by psychiatrists to create amnesia, new dissociated identities, new memories, and responses to hypnotic access codes. In 1972, then-CIA director Richard Helms and Gottlieb ordered the destruction of all MKULTRA records. A clerical error spared seven boxes, containing 1738 documents, over 17,000 pages. This archive was declassified through a Freedom of Information Act Request in 1977, though the names of most people, universities, and hospitals are redacted. The CIA assigned each document a number preceded by "MORI", for "Managament of Officially Released Information", the CIA's automated electronic system at the time of document release. These documents, to be referenced throughout this chapter, are accessible on the Internet (see: abuse-of-power (dot) org/modules/content/index.php?id=31). The United States Senate held a hearing exposing the abuses of MKULTRA, entitled "Project MKULTRA, the CIA's program of research into behavioral modification" (1977).”

“One of the most frightening aspects of this alleged technology is the possibility of mind control by “remote control,” that is, through such technology as microwaves and radio waves. There are many stories about this, coming primarily from survivors, although we do know from a variety of reliable websites and mainstream news that such technology is being developed, or at least the technological groundwork laid. Once again, however, we do not know whether this was in place when today's survivors were programmed. It is difficult at this point to determine how much of this is genuine, and how much comes from false beliefs deliberately induced to make survivors feel powerless, much like the “one huge and invincible cult” of whose existence survivors convinced therapists twenty years ago. I know that one of my mind control survivor clients was convinced of technological monitoring during a psychotic period several years ago, but as he healed he discarded such beliefs, along with many other bizarre ones in favor of recognizing that he had been abused by real human beings whose identity he knew.
If some of this remote control it is genuine, we may need to develop technological means to combat it.
However, we should not be intimidated. Even if “voices” are induced in the head by remote control rather than through alters doing jobs, survivors can learn to disobey such voices just as they do those of alters. Competent and compassionate therapy for the dissociation can help survivors to heal. Meanwhile, there are numerous survivors whose mind control is of the kind that can be treated through psychotherapy.

“The government researchers,aware of the information in the professional journals, decided to reverse the process (of healing from hysteric dissociation). They decided to use selective trauma on healthy children to create personalities capable of committing acts desired for national security and defense.” p. 53 – 54”

“Because the problem of ritual abuse and mind control has not gone away - the survivors are still there - many more therapists have learnt about it. Survivors have spoken out and written their stories, and therapists have learnt a great deal from those brave survivors who have discovered what was done to them. There is a large special interest group on Ritual Abuse and Mind Control within the International Society for the Study of Dissociation. Those therapists who have learnt in isolation or in small private online forums are once again sharing their knowledge widely, and books such as this one are beginning to be published again. The work is still very difficult and challenging, but we now know so much more than we did. We know that there is not one massive Satanic cult, but many different interrelated groups, including religious, military/political, and organized crime, using mind control on children and adult survivors. We know that there are effective treatments. We know that many of the paralyzing beliefs our clients lived by are the results of lies and tricks perpetrated by their abusers. And we know that, as therapists, we can combat this evil with wise and compassionate therapy.”
