Poisoning the Well

[DISCLAIMER]

The Satanic panic

In a blogpost entitled The Dark One, I noted that in my childhood my late mom dabbled in black magic. It was around that time that I learned of Aleister Crowley and his alleged use of sex magic with children. This is a well-discussed topic among some magic practitioners.

Admittedly, I have the vaguest knowledge, wisdom, and understanding about this topic. Furthermore, I don’t care to learn more about the matter. Additionally, it’s worth noting that my mom’s conceptual framework coincided with the Satanic panic, about which one source states:

The Satanic panic is a moral panic consisting of over 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritual abuse (SRA), sometimes known as ritual abuse, starting in North America in the 1980s, spreading throughout many parts of the world by the late 1990s, and persisting today.

The panic originated in 1980 with the publication of Michelle Remembers, a book co-written by Canadian psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder and his patient (and future wife), Michelle Smith, which used the controversial and now discredited practice of recovered-memory therapy to make claims about Satanic ritual abuse involving Smith.

The allegations, which arose afterward throughout much of the United States, involved reports of physical and sexual abuse of people in the context of occult or Satanic rituals. Some allegations involve a conspiracy of a global Satanic cult that includes the wealthy and elite in which children are abducted or bred for human sacrifice, pornography, and prostitution.

Nearly every aspect of the ritual abuse is controversial, including its definition, the source of the allegations and proof thereof, testimonies of alleged victims, and court cases involving the allegations and criminal investigations. The panic affected lawyers, therapists, and social workers who handled allegations of child sexual abuse.

Allegations initially brought together widely dissimilar groups, including religious fundamentalists, police investigators, child advocates, therapists, and clients in psychotherapy. The term satanic abuse was more common early on; this later became satanic ritual abuse and further secularized into simply ritual abuse.

Over time, the accusations became more closely associated with dissociative identity disorder (then called multiple personality disorder) and anti-government conspiracy theories, such as QAnon. […] A 1994 article in the New York Times stated that: “Of the more than 12,000 documented accusations nationwide, investigating police were not able to substantiate any allegations of organized cult abuse”.

Elements of the Satanic panic were based on beliefs which were irrational (not in accordance with both logic and reason). Moreover, I argue that much of the SRA rhetoric was steeped in delusion, as the American Psychological Association thusly defines this term:

[A]n often highly personal idea or belief system, not endorsed by one’s culture or subculture, that is maintained with conviction in spite of irrationality or evidence to the contrary. Delusions may be transient and fragmentary, as in delirium, or highly systematized and elaborate, as in delusional disorders, though most of them fall between these two extremes.

Common types include delusional jealousy, delusions of being controlled, delusions of grandeur, delusions of persecution, delusions of reference, nihilistic delusions, and somatic delusions. Data suggest that delusions are not primarily logical errors but are derived from emotional material.

They have come to represent one of the most important factors in systems for diagnostic classification. Some researchers believe that delusions may be the most important symptom of schizophrenia.

Although I have no knowledge about my late mom’s mental, emotional, and behavioral health (collectively “mental health”) information, I suspect that she experienced clinically significant delusions. Thus, the Satanic panic was merely a means to an end for her wacky beliefs.

Season of da Siccness

Despite having been actively involved in the Churches of Christ during high school, I thoroughly enjoyed the album Season of da Siccness (1995) by lyricist Brotha Lynch Hung  (“Lynch”) when it was released during my senior year. Noteworthy, Lynch was a self-avowed atheist.

Photo credit, fair use

For context, atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods, while agnosticism is the view that the existence of a god or gods is unknown or unknowable. Currently, my views reflect the latter. Personally, Lynch’s perspective reflected that of the late Anton LaVey’s.

LaVey was a founder of the Church of Satan. Per one source, “LaVey’s Satanism was in fact atheistic: the opposition between God and Satan represented for him the struggle between hypocrisy and repression on the one hand and indulgence and liberation on the other.”

Ostensibly, LaVey and his acolytes were LARPing as the bugaboos people irrationally believed they were. Similarly, I suspect that Lynch’s horrorcore song “Siccmade” was delivered to antagonize the sensibilities of religious believers. For example, lyrics include:

I take my mouth up out that cock and trip, ‘cause eatin’ dead pussy clit’ll

Make ya sick, but it’s that season, so my reason is legit

I’m havin’ fits! I dream of eatin’ bloody pussy clit since I was six

I fiend for dead pussy on dick

I got the schiz’, meanin’ I don’t give a shit about your bitch

That nigga that’s from that blocc, killin’ up that cock, so, nigga, shit!

Baby barbecue ribs and guts, and, uh

Don’t let me get to deep-fryin’ baby nuts

Sluts get ate out, like a date, these crooked teeth hurt

I pull that Tampax string out, and straight put in work

On the track, Lynch advocated necrophilia (obsession with and usually erotic interest in or stimulation by corpses) and cannibalism (the usually ritualistic eating of human flesh by a human being). This egregious behavior included Satanic panic-esque references to children.

I don’t genuinely believe that the lyricist engaged in sex magic-adjacent or cannibalistic behavior. Like LaVey, I suspect that Lynch was attempting to influence people to upset themselves with irrational beliefs. In common parlance, this is known as trolling.

REBT

When providing psychoeducational lessons on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), I use a tool that addresses trolling and the delusional beliefs people use when self-upsetting. This tool requires personal responsibility and accountability (collectively “ownership”).

For context, REBT uses the ABC model to illustrate that when an undesirable Action occurs and you Believe an unhelpful narrative about the event, it’s your unfavorable assumption, not the occurrence itself, that causes an unpleasant Consequence. This is known as self-disturbance.

In particular, there are four predominate irrational beliefs which people often use to upset themselves: global evaluations, low frustration tolerance, awfulizing, and demandingness. When contemplating these unproductive beliefs, think of the acronym GLAD.

As an example, LaVey and Lynch trolled people (Action) and individuals Believed, “They’re demonic [G] and intolerable [L]! It’s downright terrible that people like LaVey and Lynch exist [A], because they shouldn’t [D]!” With this script, people then became disgusted (Consequence).

Addressing how people upset themselves with unhelpful attitudes, the ABC model incorporates Disputation of unproductive philosophies of life in order to explore Effective new beliefs. Whereas rigid beliefs cause self-disturbance, flexible beliefs result in an un-disturbed condition.

The Epstein files

Indeed, I haven’t devoted much attention to the saga of the late Jeffrey Epstein. This is because, much like my outlook on the existence of a god or gods, most of the information regarding Epstein is unknown or unknowable. This is the case even if people foolishly believe otherwise.

Moreover, I don’t view the decedent as having been a monster, as so many other people apparently do. Rather, through the lens of REBT, I recognize that Epstein was merely a fallible human being. That stated, I acknowledge that he appears to have exhibited disgusting behavior.

For clarity, I maintain that people are separate from their unproductive behavior. Furthermore, I see no point in ascribing evaluations or appraisals to individuals. Nevertheless, I don’t take issue with judging their unhealthy actions. I understand that regarding Epstein, my view isn’t popular.

In any event, I’m aware that the Epstein files have essentially breathed life into the Satanic panic 2.0. For the past several days, I’ve encountered online content ranging from rational perspectives to outright delusional viewpoints. As an example, consider that one source states:

An email correspondence containing the account of an Epstein victim states, “Thanks M, I didn’t realise Bush raped him too. Ok.” The document further mentions more details about the victim and reads, “While on this yacht, he witnessed African American males having sex with white blonde females, all of whom were bleeding during intercourse.”

“He was a victim of a type of ritualistic sacrifice in which his feet were cut with a scimitar, but left no scarring. On the yacht, he witnessed babies being dismembered, their intestines removed, and individuals eating the feces from these intestines,” the document added.

At present, it remains unclear as to whether the “Bush” allegedly implicated in the Epstein files is in reference to former presidents George H. W. Bush or George W. Bush. Yet, the sexual proclivities mentioned in the source aren’t the focal point herein, as they plausibly occurred.

Rather, much like Lynch rapped about “baby barbecue ribs and guts” and “deep-fryin’ baby nuts,” references in the source pertaining to “babies being dismembered, their intestines removed, and individuals eating the faeces from these intestines” seem implausible.

Personally, that sort of Satanic panic 2.0 information may be unfalsifiable (not capable of being proved false). While I imagine that many people may disagree with my angle, the outlandish claim seems a lot like what one source describes:

Psychological operations (PSYOP) are operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their motives and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and large foreign powers. […]

Covert PSYOP is not a function of the U.S. [United States] military but instead is used in special operations due to their political sensitivity and need for higher level compartmentalization.

Further, black PSYOP [a higher echelon or deeper level of operations], to be credible, may need to disclose sensitive material, with the damage caused by information disclosure considered to be outweighed by the impact of successful deception.

In order to achieve maximum results and to prevent the compromise of overt PSYOP, overt and covert operations need to be kept separate. Personnel involved in one must not be engaged in the other.

During my time in the military (1996-2007), specifically regarding service as a Marine Security Guard, I learned of how effective PSYOP was. Perhaps unsurprisingly to some, U.S. intelligence apparatuses adopt deception techniques from other nations. For example, one source states:

Russian military deception, sometimes known as maskirovka, is a military doctrine developed from the start of the 20th century. The doctrine covers a broad range of measures for military deception, from camouflage to denial and deception.

Deceptive measures include concealment, imitation with decoys and dummies, maneuvers intended to deceive, denial, and disinformation. The 1944 Soviet Military Encyclopedia refers to “means of securing combat operations and the daily activities of forces; a complexity of measures, directed to mislead the enemy regarding the presence and disposition of forces”.

Later versions of the doctrine also include strategic, political, and diplomatic means including manipulation of “the facts”, situation, and perceptions to affect the media and opinion around the world, so as to achieve or facilitate tactical, strategic, national and international goals.

I have no way of determining whether or not people involved with Epstein actually dismembered individuals and ate shit from their bodies. Yet, I doubt that occurred. As for sexual impropriety, I have little misgiving that such behavior was used by Epstein for various reasons (i.e., PSYOP).

Poisoning the Well

Regarding maskirovka which may or may not been adopted by U.S. national intelligence and federal law enforcement entities, as it took quite a while for the Epstein files to be released, I suspect that trolling elements were introduced to the cache for the purpose of poisoning the well.

Per one source, “Poisoning the well (or attempting to poison the well) is a type of informal fallacy where adverse information about a target is preemptively presented to an audience, with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing something that the target person is about to say.”

Although I’m making no definitive claims herein, I imagine that salacious data was added to the Epstein files for the purpose of disinformation (false information deliberately and often covertly spread, as by the planting of rumors, in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth).

Describing the logical form of poisoning the well, one source states, “Adverse information (be it true or false) about person 1 is presented. Therefore, the claim(s) of person 1 will be false.”

For example, it’s likely that Epstein wasn’t engaged in what I described in a blogpost entitled “A young woman is a child”? as pedophilia (sexual attraction to prepubescent children), though he ostensibly partook in hebephilia (ages 11-14), and ephebophilia (ages 15-18).

However, by adding sensational details about SRA-esque human sacrifice, cannibalism, or coprophagia (consumption of feces), the well of information has been poisoned such that all claims of impropriety will be considered false. Thus, the Epstein files appear to be tainted.

Conclusion

I recall the irrationality of the Satanic panic in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Unfavorably, my mom bought into the nonsense. Removed from her care and residing with a family that accepted me into their household from a children’s home, I was reminded of various forms of Satanism in high school.

Specifically, I remembered how LaVey trolled people who clung to religious dogma. My recollection was aided by Lynch’s track “Siccmade”. Comprehensibly, people self-disturbed with unhelpful beliefs about views espoused by both LaVey and Lynch, both atheists.

Herein, I’ve highlighted how a Belief-Consequence connection causes unpleasant outcomes. As well, I’ve addressed the Epstein files and how I suspect that poisoning the well may be serving as a form of PSYOP regarding public opinion. Possibly, not everyone will appreciate my view.

To be exceedingly clear, I’m not stating that scandalous behavior wasn’t committed by fallible humans who were involved in matters contained within the Epstein files. Nonetheless, I see no evidence for supernatural forces having played a role in anything related to Epstein.

Additionally, I logically and reasonably posit it’s at least plausible that U.S. national intelligence and federal law enforcement entities may’ve tainted the Epstein information in an attempt for people to idiomatically throw the baby out with the bathwater with a Satanic panic 2.0.

All the same, I don’t hold the position of an infallible outlook. Just as I maintain that people are separate from their unproductive behavior, I acknowledge that individuals remain distinct from their opinions. Thus, if my view of the Epstein matter is wrong, then I’m not wrong.

As such, I make no unhealthy evaluation or appraisal of myself if my perspective of the Epstein matter is incorrect. Ultimately, I suspect that the well has been poisoned to a degree such that the world may never fully know what did or didn’t occur regarding the Epstein files.

Given the way in which I’ve assessed information in this post, devoid of delusions or unproductive emotions, I invite you to use rational perspectives—especially concerning topics which are unknown or unknowable. Besides, you needn’t be trolled by PSYOP; or, must you?
