The excellent reference site ISGP.EU (formerly pehi.eu) run by Joel Van Der Reijden has not disappeared. It is now housed at wikispooks.
It was an original and serious multi-researcher project attempting to compile lists of members of important secret societies influential in world politics and economics. ISGP stands for the Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics. I came to the site only in 2010 and I changed my mind about the extent and significance of child sex abuse after reading its account of the Dutreux scandal.
In “Mobs,” (2007) I included a section about it, as an example of moral panics, at the suggestion of my co-author, who had seen what was happening in France in the nineties, as I had seen the equivalent panic in the US. For my research, I relied mainly on the account of Alexander Cockburn, the co-editor of Counterpunch, who took the view that the child sex abuse scandals had been vastly exaggerated by sensational accounts. That was my view too, from reading about it, with the caveat that I came to believe the panic was manufactured in some way. Since then, my research leads me to believe that the moral panic was fanned in order to create a cover for real, intelligence-related sex rings, used to entrap and blackmail politicians and other prominent or influential people.
Yes. The “Lords of Bakersfield,” for example. The “conservative” Republican prosecutor suddenly began prosecuting working-class parents left and right for allegedly satanically abusing their children. He imprisoned innocent people and destroyed families. Years later, it was found that he himself was the subject of rumors of homosexuality and pedophilia. Also, by that time, several in his high-level circle of “conservative” friends had been either murdered by their young homosexual lovers or otherwise “outed” themselves.
Very disturbingly, I recently heard that an Internet friend of mine had her son taken away by CPS. She lives in Bakersfield.
Also, if Alex Jones is to be believed, DeCamp tipped him off to a Penn State pedo ring years ago, but Jones for one reason or another did not report it at the time (I forgot his reason; perhaps because it was only hearsay).
It really is depressing and by all the evidence, must be massive.
The idea was put forth in the popular media that this was all “Satanic Panic” imagined by crazy fundamentalist Christians in the Bible Belt. Of course, the England, France, Belgium are hardly hotbeds of fundamentalism.
