The CIA helped create a satanic cult that preyed on children.
This is publicly-available knowledge, and no one was ever held accountable for it.
In 1987, Tallahassee police responded to a report of two men in suits with 6 young children who were dirty, malnourished and covered in bites.
Officers arrested Doug Ammerman and Michael Holwell on suspicion of kidnapping, trafficking and abuse of children.
A few days later, they discovered that Ammerman and Holwell were members of a satanic cult called the Finders, and that the children's mothers (who were also members) had voluntarily given their children over to these men.
These children, some as young as 2 years old, had been s*****ly abused, forced to live outside, kill and torture animals, and neglected and abused in other ways.
The Finders were under the leadership of Marion Pettie, whom they called "The Pathfinder". He taught them a complex and rigid "New Age way of living" on his commune, controlled every aspect of their lives, and ordered them to give over their children to him so that he could teach them to "play games".
Police released details of their investigation to the public, who was already in the midst of the "Satanic Panic" scare of the 80s.
A national investigation of the Finders began, with federal agents and law enforcement from multiple states involved.
And then suddenly, all charges were dropped, the men were released, and the investigation was closed.
Why?
Well, in 1993, US Customs Special Agent Ramon Martinez came forward to say he had participated in the Finders investigation, and had found evidence of not only what had been released, but of their intent to do even more horrific things in the near future.
Soon after, they were informed that the Finders were a "CIA internal matter", that any evidence needed to be made secret, and that all investigation was to finish.
Copies of a report confirmed what Martinez had said. The Finders were a "CIA internal matter", and the cult was a front to train agents.
Two Congressmen, Tom Lewis (R-FL) and Charlie Rose (D-NC) went public with this news.
Lewis stated "Could our own government have something to do with this Finders organization and [have] turned their backs on these children? That’s what the evidence points to... I can tell you that we’ve got a lot of people scrambling, and that wouldn’t be happening if there was nothing here."
The Department of Justice conducted an investigation, and found that not only had the CIA and other government agencies done nothing wrong, but the Finders hadn't as well.
Despite the evidence of criminality by both the Finders and the government, no charges were filed, and no one was held accountable.
Then in 2019, the FBI published hundreds of documents related to this event.
Even though they were heavily redacted, they still showed that police had raided Finders properties and found ample evidence of s****l abuse of children, including photos of n*** kids taking part in animal sacrifices, as well as cages that the children were believed to be kept in, and that the government refused to provide evidence to state investigators.
It also showed that the wife and son of Marion Pettie, the founder of the Finders, had worked for the CIA.
And this is where we find out why this all happened.
Marion Pettie was a former Master Sergeant with the US Air Force.
He began working with OSS (the spy agency that came before the CIA) during World War 2.
After the war in 1946, he served as a chauffeur for a General, while still being trained in counterintelligence.
He also bought hundreds of acres of land in Virginia, something he couldn't have possibly afforded on his salary. This land would later become the site of the Finders commune.
Starting in 1957, Pettie's wife Isabelle got a job at the CIA.
For decades, Pettie was trained in the US and Germany.
And then his handler, Col. Leonard Weigner, told him to resign from the military, surround himself with "kooks", and infiltrate the Beatnik, Human Potential and New Age movements.
He recruited a network of agents in the US and Europe to join his cult, where they were trained in counterintelligence, communication and computer programming.
And to maintain his front, he recruited vulnerable people to join his satanic cult, devote their lives to his made-up lifestyle, and even sacrifice their children to him.
He did this from the early 1970s until at least 1987.
Let me say this again: the US government helped create a satanic cult, which destroyed families and preyed on children for decades, so that they could also spy on beatniks and hippies.
This is yet another tragic example of what government means when they say they will "protect" you from "dangerous extremists".
God only knows what they're doing to "protect" you right now, or who they're doing it to.
Here are links to more details on this horrific story, including the FBI file drop.
Everyone go give her a follow.
