NY Times: It’s Time to Revisit the Satanic Panic

What an intriguing headline: “It’s Time to Revisit the Satanic Panic.” It is? And why is that? Evidently, although Q Anon is not mentioned in the piece, the Slimes is worried about the growing awareness of Satanists in high places — an awareness which, I suppose, (((they))) would mockingly dub, “The Second Satanic Panic.”

The original “Satanic Panic” was triggered in 1983 when a woman named Judy Johnson found blood in her two-and-a-half-year-old son’s diaper after the child had complained about painful bowel movements. After taking her son to a pediatrician, who told her that the injury was consistent with sodomy, she claimed that the child told her that Ray Buckey, one of his teachers at the McMartin Preschool in Manhattan Beach, California, had sodomized him.

Johnson contacted police and further alleged that Buckey had dressed her son in women’s clothes and played “doctor” with him; and that other children had also been abused.  Authorities then launched a massive investigation into the McMartin Preschool — which was founded in 1966 by Virginia McMartin, and later managed by her daughter, Peggy McMartin Buckey — Ray’s mother.

Police then sent a letter to the parents of McMartin Preschool students stating that Buckey had been arrested on suspicion of abusing their children. The allegations described oral sex, fondling of genitals, sodomy, Satanic rituals, animal sacrifices, orgies, a “goat-man,” secret tunnels, trips to the cemetery and the creation of child pornography. The sensational tale exploded across the community and America at large. Prosecutors eventually charged seven McMartin employees with more than 100 counts of child molestation.The claims — coming from such young children — were so fantastical that many simply could not believe them. The defense argued that the 360 pre-schoolers who would tell of the abusive practices had been manipulated and coerced by their interviewers. The defendants maintained their innocence and the charges were eventually dropped, except for those against Buckey. He was retried in 1990, which resulted in another hung jury. The judge set Buckey free after he had spent five years in jail.

Initially, the TV talking-heads actually seemed sympathetic toward the families and suspicious of the McMartin clique. But as the story of child-sex-abuse took a deeper dive into the Satanic stuff; the narrative started to change. Maybe the McMartins were innocent and the children were coaxed into telling tall tales after all? That became the new spin. In due time, and holding to this day, the McMartin Affair and the associated connections to Satanism came to represent a case of  “conspiracy theories”

™ and “vigilante parents” run wild.From this Slimes article:

“Early in the 1980s, baseless conspiracy theories about cults committing mass child abuse spread around the country. Talk shows and news programs fanned fears, and the authorities investigated hundreds of allegations. Even as cases slowly collapsed and skepticism prevailed, defendants went to prison, families were traumatized and millions of dollars were spent on prosecutions.”

Providing cover for Satanic child-torturers now, eh Sulzberger?
