Earlier this month, Jamie Lee Curtis inadvertently outed herself on Instagram as the owner of some “questionable” art. Hanging in the background of her post (ostensibly about the new chairs in her office) was a print portraying a child, naked, scrunched up in a makeshift bathtub. Curtis swiftly deleted the post, later explaining that she didn’t want to “keep something up that upset anyone”.
Balenciaga took this approach too, removing their recent ad campaign featuring toddlers holding teddy bears garbed in bondage gear. The backlash was intense and the company apologized.
If only it was a matter of simply un-publishing the darkness of this world to make it go away.
As the saying goes, the only way to defeat the darkness is to bring it into the light. While the pedophilic aspects of the entertainment industry have long been an open secret, the roots of this darkness have in general been poorly understood.
Is there a specific reason that pedophilia runs so rampant in Hollywood? How did this start, why does it continue, and what can we do to stop the sexual abuse of children?
For well over a decade, former child stars have been coming forward with their stories of abuse. Todd Bridges, the actor best known for his role in the TV sitcom Diff’rent Strokes, detailed the physical and sexual abuse that led to a life of addiction in his 2010 autobiography Killing Willis. The aptly titled 2014 documentary An Open Secret follows the stories of five former child actors who were groomed and abused by multiple predators. Corey Feldman’s 2013 autobiography Coreyography relayed his own experiences of childhood abuse. With his 2020 documentary The Rape of 2 Coreys, Feldman fulfilled his promise to Corey Haim to tell his friend’s story in the event of Haim’s untimely death.
An Open Secret and The Rape of 2 Coreys each offer valuable insight into how the grooming process works. Both of these documentaries also come out strongly in favour of stricter legislation around pedophilia as the solution to protect children. Yet as the leaked emails from Hilary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the 2019 “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein clearly show, the problem with legislation around the sexual abuse of children is that legislators themselves often protect, or are themselves, abusers. The 1980’s Franklin child prostitution ring in Nebraska and The Finders scandal of Florida point to just how far up the pyramid of power sexual predators can climb.1 When a scandal breaks out, somebody might get thrown under the bus but the train of trafficked and abused children keeps moving on.
To make matters worse, the mainstream media routinely erects roadblocks to any light pointing towards the most powerful perpetrators. Feldman’s appearance on The View following the release of his book earned him a stern rebuke from Barbara Walters for “damaging an entire industry”. Hilary Clinton’s leaked emails from 2016 became an outlandish tale dubbed “Pizzagate” and declared thoroughly “debunked” by the “fact-checkers”, despite no one having ever explained the various code words used in the messages. How exactly does one get pizza “for an hour”? And as Whitney Webb has documented at length, Jeffrey Epstein himself was the tip of a much larger and well-established iceberg.2
To put pedophilia among the famous and powerful into perspective, it’s important to understand the historical connections of the entertainment industry to intelligence agencies, and the intelligence agencies’ connections to the dark occult.
In its 1943 document The Motion Picture As A Weapon Of Psychological Warfare,3 the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) outlined the various ways in which the technology of the motion picture could be exploited to shape public opinions. The OSS understood that moving picture technology could be a powerful tool for propaganda well beyond simple entertainment.
However, the early intelligence agency realized that it lacked a coordinated, systematic approach to compiling the information they needed to best exploit the opportunities of the new technology. In order to advance their goals, key figures and their connections would become indispensable.
Among the 13,000 agents employed by the OSS at its peak in 1944 were four future CIA directors, including Allen Dulles.4 Dulles directed the CIA from 1953 to 1961, and assisted Ian Fleming in writing the James Bond book series for the purposes of painting intelligence agencies in a favourable light. He was also an associate of top SS officer Heinrich Himmler, who ran the Nazi program Lebensborn. Having started out as a creepy breeding program to match barely pubescent German girls with SS soldiers, Lebensborn ended up outright stealing children from occupied countries, salvaging the Germanic-enough and disposing of the rest in facilities for medical experimentation, concentration camps, and mass death sites.5
Dulles was instrumental in shielding senior Nazi officials from war crimes prosecutions, which enabled many of them to be recruited by the DOD and brought to the US through South America.6 Passports in hand, they came through with help from the Vatican and the Red Cross after President Truman quietly authorized Project Paperclip in 1946.
Paperclip also brought in German aerospace engineer Wernher Von Braun, a member of the Nazi Party and Algemeine SS. Von Braun worked for NASA and advocated for a human mission to Mars. Between 1955 and 1957, he collaborated with Walt Disney on a series of films which popularized the idea of human space travel.7 Disney himself was aided by the CIA in the 1960’s to acquire land cheaply while avoiding taxation and environmental regulation in Florida, as well as immunity from the U.S. Constitution.8
For American intelligence, the biggest asset Paperclip brought was Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler’s Chief of Intelligence against Russia. Arriving in Washington DC in 1945, Gehlen met extensively with Dulles and President Truman9 and was recruited to reorganize the OSS into a more efficient covert organization.10 Their efforts culminated in the 1946 creation of the Central Intelligence Group, renamed in 1947 as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Once established, the CIA began work on projects aimed at understanding and implementing the control of human beings through psychology and physiology. Following projects BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE, Project MK ULTRA was approved by Dulles in 1953 and remained active for at least 20 years.
Ostensibly designed to counter the “brain warfare” of the Soviet Union, MK ULTRA was essentially a continuation of mind control programs that began in Japanese and Nazi concentration camps. MK ULTRA made extensive use of electroshock as did Mengele at Auschwitz, and also employed a variety of drugs (most notably LSD) echoing the brainwashing of inmates at Dachau by the use of mescaline.
Headed by chemist Sidney Gottlieb, MK ULTRA test subjects were often unwitting participants. These included students at a state school for mentally-impaired boys, American soldiers and prisoners, and patients at a state hospital.11 The Canadian government collaborated with the CIA in funding MK ULTRA experiments in Montreal at the Allen Memorial hospital under the supervision of Dr. Donald Ewan Cameron. All told, around 80 institutions (including universities) and 185 private researchers had contracts with the CIA to perform these experiments.
Gottlieb, Cameron and the likes were very successful at wiping the minds of their test subjects. However, the second phase of the experiments, to insert a “new mind” into the void that they had created, did not yield ideal results. According to investigative journalist Stephen Kinzer,
"Gottlieb wanted to create a way to seize control of people's minds, and he realized it was a two-part process…First, you had to blast away the existing mind. Second, you had to find a way to insert a new mind into that resulting void. We didn't get too far on number two, but he did a lot of work on number one."12
These experiments left many test subjects either dead or with permanent brain damage. However, one of the 149 known sub-projects under the umbrella of MK ULTRA succeeded in systematizing a means by which to achieve total mind control. The horrifying key to this torturous program’s success lay in its choice of test subjects: children.
Officially beginning in the early 1960’s (but probably operating much earlier), Project MONARCH remains classified as TOP SECRET to this day for “Reasons of National Security”. It has long been known by dark occultists that before the age of about six years, children tend to respond to physical and sexual trauma with a mental process known as dissociation. Essentially, the mind shatters and “splits off” into alternate personas (alters) in order to protect the core self. This used to be referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder, a misnomer because the condition does not involve a number of different personalities but rather just one that has been splintered into pieces. It is now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and is the basis for MONARCH programming.
As Ron Patton explains in his paper CIA and Project Monarch Full History, MONARCH is a “form of structured dissociation and occultic integration in order to compartmentalize the mind into multiple personalities within a systematic framework”. Alter personalities are created through trauma, repetition and reinforcement, while a specific access code or password is "installed" in the process. This ensures that only somebody with that code can activate (trigger) the alter, making the mind controlled subjects extremely useful for cover operations, prostitution and pornography. Involvement in the entertainment industry, Patton remarks, is notable.13
Because DID is better achieved the earlier the trauma is inflicted, the CIA would often recruit young children from multigenerational Satanic families (bloodlines) where the groundwork programming had already begun. Others, the non-bloodliners or “expendable ones” came from orphanages, foster care homes or incestuous families.
One MONARCH survivor, Cathy O’Brien, was born into a multigenerational incestual family in 1957, where her father had sexually abused her from infancy. When he was caught by corrupt law enforcement with child pornography in the early 1960’s, he traded his daughter to the CIA in exchange for immunity from prosecution.
While O’Brien’s father eventually became a multi-millionaire thanks to government contracts, Cathy endured almost unimaginable torture for more than 20 years before being rescued in 1988. With her mind systematically compartmentalized, she was used as a Presidential Model for sex and transmitting messages between high-ranking government officials. These included Governor of Michigan George Romney, West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd, Hilary Clinton, and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
O’Brien’s primary mind control programmer in MONARCH was Michael Aquino, a Lieutenant colonel in military intelligence specializing in psychological warfare. He was also a devout satanist. Aquino founded the Satanic Church of Set in 1975 and, with other “Setians” who shared his deep affinity for Nazi ideology, travelled to Wewelsburg Castle to perform dark occult rituals in Himmler’s “Hall of the Dead”.
Although a prime suspect throughout the 1980’s in a string of child sexual abuse cases, Aquino retained the highest-level security clearances.14
Another MONARCH survivor, Jay Parker, was born into a multigenerational satanic family. His parents, abused from infancy themselves, worked as school teachers in Arden, Delaware where Parker was raised.
Parker’s mother subjected him to electroshock treatments while still in the womb, and he was subjected to satanic ritual abuse by his father and other members of the cult for the first seven years of his life. His mother volunteered him to the CIA for MONARCH monitoring. Other of his childhood memories include being locked in small cages with a few other children for days at a time, tortured with cattle prongs, prostituted to friends of the family, and made to witness both animal and human sacrifice. According to Parker, 90% of the population of Arden were bloodline satanic families, and many other such towns exist across the United States.
As O’Brien and Parker’s experiences show, what we generally call pedophilia is, to satanists, a key expression of their religious ideology. By installing the programming in their very young children, practicing satanists foster the continuation of their religion through the cycle of abuse.
In a less ritualistic but just as pervasive manner, Hollywood managers, agents, and even other actors perpetuate this cycle of abuse with younger stars; violations which had in many cases been enacted on them as well. Trauma from the abuse, if left unhealed, leaves fissures in the psyche that become open doors for anyone so inclined to waltz in and take over.
In the modern era especially, control of not only the media’s messages but also of its messengers has become a feature of the industry. Just as with “news” outlets, celebrities are simply not allowed to have a large platform unless they are towing the lines du jour. As Mike Smith asserts in his 2020 documentary Out of Shadows, Hollywood stars are only able to rise in the business as long as they are able to be controlled.
While there are other methods of controlling people, with sexual abuse being so effective it’s hard to imagine that pedophilia would not be rampant in show biz.
The ideology of domination and control over others has been baked into the Hollywood apparatus since the days of the OSS. The MONARCH program, built on satanic Nazi principles and fleshed out in secret by the CIA, proved that recurring early childhood sexual trauma lays the basis for achieving mind control in individuals. Is it any wonder, in the ever-expanding paradigm of control that shapes our world, that a fashion campaign would showcase toddlers holding teddy bears in bondage gear, or that a picture of a naked child folded into a tub of water would hang on the wall of a celebrity’s office? At a minimum, images like these re-open the traumatic wounds of sexual abuse survivors. For the rest of the population, they cultivate a kind of desensitization.
That is, unless we do not allow ourselves to become desensitized. When a culture normalizes something it becomes invisible as a problem, but that doesn’t mean that the problem has gone away. The sexual abuse of children violates every law of nature, even if our “justice” system allows it to carry on.
So, when Jamie Lee tells us it’s “just a picture, nothing more nothing less”, it becomes our job to tell her she’s dead wrong.
