The rise of Satan in the UK? Or the Satanic Panic comeback?
History repeats itself. Is it now?
This article appearing in RUSSIA TODAY and quoted throughout the world reminds me of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.. Headline: WITCHCRAFT AND EXORCISM ABUSE RISING IN THE UK..They attribute their findings to the police.
RT writes,
The UK is experiencing an alarming rise in children suffering from accusations of witchcraft and exorcism, which are being reported to the police. A watchdog says there has been “a significant increase” with 60 cases reported so far in 2015.One incident saw a young boy’s parents throwing him out of their home because they believed he was a “devil child,” while another child had his face bitten by his mother, who believed he was a “witch possessed by evil spirits.”
The claims were made by Project Violet, which is trying to stop faith-based abuse. The operation is being run by London’s Metropolitan Police. They say that 60 cases have already been recorded so far this year and is part of a worrying trend, which has seen a rapid rise in the number of cases that have been reported.
And this..
Another high-profile case of abuse linked to religious ritual involved the murder of Kristy Bamu, who was savagely beaten by his sister’s partner, Eric Bikubi, in 2010. Bamu, who was 15 at the time, was accused by Bikubi of being possessed by“evil spirits,” and subsequently hit with hammers, floor tiles and broken glass, before being drowned in a bathtub.
And finally,
The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) urged Britain to do more to stop this brutal form of people trafficking.
Let me say this, first: People who believe in the paranormal or strange will get a fair shake from the HORROR REPORT. We wonder and ponder the same subject matter as well.. we don’t judge because, as said many times over, the paranormal seems unlikely until it happens to you.
But we also like to deal with facts.
So do the facts back up the hype over exorcisms and satanic ritual abuse? Do the numbers tell the same story that media attention creates?
Here is a good story about the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
We need to be watchful that we aren’t falling victim to over-hyped numbers that add up to less than a drop in the bucket.
All the while recognize the moments and actual events that need attention. In the 80s, the hype was overdone. But the media ignored the Franklin Credit Union cover up.
Now? In the UK? are the numbers overdone to ignore the Royal Family sex abuse allegations?

Just when you thought it was Armageddon, someone comes around and ruins it for you
Just when you thought it was Armageddon, someone comes around and ruins it for you
Call them the anti Debbie Downers.. a group has released findings that they say conclusively shows natural disasters are at a 10-year-low. But South Carolina flooding? But California drought? But.. But … The executive summary from AON said that 2014 was a below average year for catastrophe.. That doesn’t mean awful stuff did not happen, but on a pure number, it was less than other years when…

Just when you thought it was Armageddon, someone comes around and ruins it for you
Call them the anti Debbie Downers.. a group has released findings that they say conclusively shows natural disasters are at a 10-year-low.
But South Carolina flooding?
But California drought?
But..But …
The executive summary from AON said that 2014 was a below average year for catastrophe..
That doesn’t mean awful stuff did not happen, but on a pure number, it was less than other years when compared..
When United States citizens armed with Bibles proclaim that the end times are near because of US disasters, it’s interesting to look at the most high profile and expensive 2014 events: The US only made two of the ten, with May storms and a yearlong drought being the costliest..
Another fact the report points out on page 10: The population of the world is soaring.. and with it, a migration of people to locations that see natural disasters on a more regular basis. Or at least bad weather..
Get this: 44% of the world’s citizens (that’s a lot, 3.2 billion) live within 95 miles of a coastline. That’s more than the entire population of the world in 1950.
I noticed something that happened when this report was issued. Numerous anti-global warming sites like Climate Depot and others began linking news about this report and focused squarely on the ten-year-low 2014 saw, disaster wise. But there’s more news they should have paid attention to–important facts that they chose to ignore because, as usual, people see headlines and neglect to read actual reports. Imagine! the information age! and we only read headlines..
Page 12 of the report details that 2014 was a continuation of the trend of much above normal global temperatures .. As a matter of fact, 2014 was the warmest year on record!
The rest of the report is a good read.
The old fashioned me actually printed it out and will study it through. IT was prepared a bit ago, but as said before, other anti-global warming sites alerted me to it by only writing up quick posts about it now.
The devil is always in the details.
So while Armageddon may look a bit off because of the lower than average disasters, it’s hard to imagine further problems aren’t in the future when you see warming like we are and the endless barrage of temperature increases–coupled with 3.2 billion people within 95 miles of a coastline that may vanish eventually..

Abandoned places.. strange images of cars never purchased
I have posted a number of things on the HORROR REPORT about Seph Lawless over the past few years–I love his work..
Tonight I came across another link, photos NOT taken by the famed abandoned places photographer, but they very well could have..
A warning, the site linked is your typical Facebook clickporn–links and ads will pop up, so click at your own risk. But it’s pictures of car dealerships frozen in time, with cars often still in them:
http://www.gleems.com/655611/amazing-pictures-of-abandoned-ghost-car-dealerships/
As said, you’ll have to maneuver through your normal “next” style setup with ads making Gleems some pennies on the dollar. But a quick glance through is worth it if you’re into things like this.
As I am.

A BEAUTIFUL OCTOBER WEEKEND IN TIME, 2015
May your day be filled with pumpkins and joy.
Sunshine and warmth..
It’s the season of the witch. Life can be a bitch.
So sit back and enjoy the show.
October is the best month of the year. Single handedly the best month of the year.
So get out.And enjoy the show.
My family and I enjoyed a few shows this weekend, a covered bridge festival at the greatest park in the world, Knoebels, and a fall foliage festival in one of the best towns in the world, Jim Thorpe..
Enjoyed it. My wife and son did as well.
It was a great moment in time, coupled with sunny skies and fire-colored leaves.I wish moments like these could last forever.. stay forever.. never go and never whither..
But whither they will. As will the leaves.
Cold winds will blow.Until they do, I am going to enjoy each and every moment I can.
