Thank you so much for those links. I have looked through them all. What amazed me was the NYT Review which is totally a turn around of their present views. What happened in those 4 years? Completely bought out. Also in his blog was this from The Witch Hunt Narrative: The articles and comments in this issue bear out the enduring impact of The Witch-Hunt Narrative. There is not sufficient space to acknowledge or respond to most of this feedback. This response corrects an error that was identified by one commenter and it responds to questions raised by another commenter about my analysis of the “Concerned Scientists” brief. This response also documents how Wood, Nathan, and Beck have misapplied the term ritual abuse, misstated the facts of many cases, and promoted “mythical numbers” that significantly exaggerate the number of false convictions. These critics are wrong about the only three cases they discuss in detail. The McMartin Preschool case began with credible evidence of child sexual abuse that continues to be distorted by critics. The Keller case began with even stronger medical evidence that is not diminished by the dubious and incomplete “retraction” of the Emergency Room doctor. The Fuster case involved overwhelming evidence of abuse, medical and testimonial, that continues to be distorted or overlooked by critics. Those who promote the witch-hunt narrative rely on selective use of evidence to reach an apparently predetermined result. That is politics and advocacy, not scholarship. This dismissive approach to children’s testimony has caused documented harm to children.

To Me The Standout Is: Those who promote the witch-hung narrative rely on selective use of evidence to reach an apparently predetermined result. That is politics and advocacy, not scholarship. This dismissive approach to children's testimony has caused documented harm to children. WE no longer protect our children. WE are protecting the Abusers.

Much appreciated. And thanks for the info

@think- @vindicator please see parent. maybe we could set up an informal interview with Dr. Cheit in the near future. i'm sure our community could come up with some excellent questions.

I thought we finally got rid of you?

LOL. I love how you ignored this:

‘[t]he only thing that can displace a story is a story’ (Monbiot, 2017, p 3). In short, information is not sufficient to challenge disinformation: we must also supply a meaningful framework in which that information makes sense.

It is headache-inducing gobbledygook like this that makes me despise academia.

so, how are you doing, are_we_sure?

Researchers are dependent on funding bodies, academic institutions and the cooperation of organisations from which participants are recruited, not to mention academic journals (and their peer reviewers) for publication and the media for wider dissemination. Given the "controversial" nature of this research and the ubiquity of pedophiles in positions of power there are many ways in which it could be stymied or blocked altogether

People in the field have been fighting against them the whole time, I am happy to say. good question

BYU. Mormons. Utah. All this FMS stuff got its start from there. Utah is a beautiful place, not so great for mental health though.

Because the pedo powers in our society have a strong hold in power positions like academia, government, law, etc. Its taken this long because the conspiracy is so large and so massive.

Exposing the FMSF for what it really is and getting the message out can be a great example to the masses just how evil the people in power are.

Because there are always Evil Forces fighting against Good. They have been fighting this for decades. But now we have won this fight. This is a Good Thing, even though I admit it took way too long. Rejoice :)

I already loved you, but now I love you more
!

much appreciated.

Do you have a link for this information please? Thanks

I have not been on in sometime~~~This is in regards to who helps financially the "False Memory Foundation"

Ross (2000) in Bluebird: Deliberate Creation of Multiple Personality by Psychiatrists, cites on p 154:

    On December 11, 1996, in a posting on the internet list [email protected], Dr. Peter Freyd, husband of the Executive Director of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, wrote:

    Since we all want to be open about any money we might have received from military-related sources, let me confess.
    I, too must go on record. Starting in 1988, I've been getting a lot of money from the U.S. Office of Naval Research.

FMS reminds me of the push to discredit eye witness testimony over last few years, such as witnesses claiming more than one shooter.
