THE MORNING RANT: The Satanic Daycare Sex Abuse Panic and the Current Transgender Social Contagion

At American Greatness, John Conlin has written an excellent piece about the daycare sexual abuse hysteria three decades ago, and how the destruction of lives in that panic was similar to the abuses of the transgender social contagion that is going on now. It’s a “read every word of it” article.

The 1980s Satanic Panic and Transgenderism Today [American Greatness – 5/27/2023]

In the 1980s what now seems like collective insanity hit this country—false reports of satanic sexual abuse of children in daycare. Some called it the Satanic panic. It took almost 20 years for this insanity to be washed out of our collective system.

And it was insane. The following are just some of the claims made during this period: Children were said to have been forced to drink blood, blood-laced Kool-aid, and urine. They also reportedly ate feces and were forced to let animals eat pet food from their vaginas. There were claims they watched people being dismembered with chainsaws. Moreover, rumors of cannibalization and animal mutilation and sacrifice, with body parts used in offerings for Satan were prominent. And of course, there were plenty of stories of watching pornography and sexual abuse of these children.

Daycare abuse cases at that time boasted an 85 percent conviction rate, even as the tales of abuse grew increasingly wild. Any rational person must confess this was a society gone insane.

Those were modern-day witch trials, and those who dared to question the witch hunts were presumed to be guilty too. The media at all levels fanned the flames of “the crisis.”

The transgender mania that confronts us today is no different. One day society will look back at these times and wonder how such insanity could take root and explode across the country. Chemically mutilating children. Surgically mutilating children. Castrating young boys. Cutting the breasts off young girls. Stripping body parts of skin and muscle to “build” fake penises and vaginas. All because they “believe” they were born in the wrong body.

These individuals—the vast majority of whom have never had a single sexual experience—are being mutilated on an altar not that different from the one that dominated the Satanic Panic of years back.

If you didn’t “believe all children” during the Satanic Panic you were denying the scientific expertise of those highly credentialed people who knew best about child psychology.

On the other hand, children who did not readily offer up outlandish tales to counselors were considered terribly scarred. They were not to be believed – not until they were finally coaxed into identifying someone who abused them.

The similarities are abundant. There was a great deal of social pressure on children—and adults—to validate and confirm these tales, regardless of how outlandish they were. And once committed, there was even more social pressure to continue the charade. Turning around and saying “I made it all up” was not an easy thing to do. And thus, most didn’t. They continued the charade to the detriment of themselves and many of those around them.

Something I’ve often thought about during this current mania is that the “experts” now counseling minors on their gender identity are the political-cultural equivalents of the “experts” of 30 years ago who were so successful at getting little children to offer up incredible stories of abuse.

There quickly sprouted an entire industry of therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, entire government agencies, prosecutors, public schools, doctors and hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, parents, and crazed advocates who pushed this insanity. Most of these with a significant personal interest—both professional and financial—in seeing the insanity continue unabated.

Theirs was not an attempt to discover the truth and to identify and help whatever victims there may be but rather to encourage and spread the poison. Their goal was an ever-increasing pile of victims who would only reinforce their burgeoning industry.

There was good money in getting children to believe they were sexually abused by devil worshipers, just like there is good money to be made in convincing children that they are trapped in the wrong body.

The Satanic panic created the “Believe the Children” movement. No matter how insane and improbable the claims—and read that list from above, it was insane—their stories must be believed. This is fully mimicked in the supposed explosion of transgender children. Help them mutilate themselves—with abundant coaching from the industry—or they will commit suicide and the blood will be on your hands.

Even better for the ghouls profiting off the transgender fad, it’s like a subscription service that can never be stopped for their victims. Once those children are mutilated, they’ll need medical upkeep the rest of their lives to keep their bodies functioning.

On the transgender front, these kids are forever cash cows as they will be taking expensive drugs—and probably using mental health services—for the rest of their lives.

Repressed Memory Therapy exploded on the scene not long before the daycare panic, and those social contagions were closely correlated. Persuading impressionable people to create false memories of abuse is little different than persuading a receptive person that s/he has the wrong sexual anatomy.

The Repressed Memory Therapy Movement drove a lot of the Satanic panic. The therapists, in effect, would convince the children these insane things had been done to them—even though prior to the “therapy” they had had no memory of these activities.

The transgender movement is the same. Here the therapists convince temporarily confused kids—and what adolescent isn’t at least a little confused—that they were born in the wrong body but they can change that and become a totally new, wonderful, and special person just by taking massive amounts of hormones and going under the knife.

Back when the daycare panic was subsiding by the mid-90s, and prosecutors started to drop outrageous charges due to lack of any actual evidence, I noticed something odd. Many parents who should have been relieved that there was not satanic sexual abuse happening at their neighborhood daycare were instead outraged that their child wouldn’t be the star victim in a highly publicized trial. The behavior of those parents then is similar to the Munchausen Mommies pushing their children into transgenderism.

I will bet any amount of money that the vast majority of the young children who are discovered to be “transgender” have a mother who has mental health issues. And one who takes great pleasure in the tremendous social accolades that will be bestowed to her.

But society has a duty to protect these children from this life-altering insanity. Unlike the Satanic panic of the ’80s, let’s not wait 20 years before coming to our senses. The time to end this is now.

Pushback has started, and lives will be saved in states that are acting to protect children from the butchery. Texas and Florida are now among the 19 states that have banned child transitions.

Texas Becomes Largest State to Ban Gender-Affirming Care for Minors [The Hill – 6/03/2023]

There was no accountability for the innocent people who were jailed and had their reputations horribly sullied during the daycare panic. Their prosecutors persecutors, such as Janet Reno, suffered no personal or political consequence.

There must be accountability for the awful crimes being committed against children in the name of transgenderism.

Also, we can expect those who are currently defending “gender affirming care” for children to walk back or deny their support at some date in the future. We see how Anthony Fauci and Randi Weingarten are already trying to deny their widely documented pronouncements in favor of Covid lockdowns and school closures. Transgender enthusiasts will certainly deny their role once this destructive fad has run its course.

“Gender affirming care” for minors will one day be looked back at with the same horror we recall eugenics, lobotomies, and the Tuskegee syphilis study. Politicians and pundits who support it must be held accountable for their role in this diabolical social contagion.

Kurt Schlichter Interviewed by J.J. Sefton and CBD

By the way, if you have not yet listened to the latest Cut Jib Newsletter podcast, I strongly encourage you to do so.

J.J. Sefton and CBD play host to the great Kurt Schlichter, and every second of it is riveting.

It also reminded me that much of what I write has been inspired by Col. Schlichter. He’s the one who so eloquently brought to the conservative discussion that there is nothing about “our principles” that would ever require the surrender of our liberties.

He also hammers home the point that there are three options for living with our political adversaries.

1) We coexist in a civil society where we all abide by the same laws, and we respect each other’s rights and liberties.

2) Our guys are in charge and the left must obey us.

3) The left is in charge and we must obey them.

Brute power is the norm of human existence, and the fact that America had been able to exist under Option 1 for so many years is amazing, and more importantly, it’s the ideal.

But with the left imposing Option 3 on us, a unilateral commitment to Option 1 is a commitment to subjugation. Laws and regulations that only apply to the right can better be defined as weapons that are used against us.

If the left does not want to allow us to live in freedom under Option 1, then Option 2 becomes necessary.
