Discussion of occult practices allegedly reaching into the US military, the Church of Satan's inclusion in Army chaplain handbooks, and the Presidio child abuse case involving Colonel Michael Aquino and children with chlamydia.
- 41:09A Canadian parliamentarian's wife sued the CIA after being picked up without consent during a psychiatric treatment visit.
- 41:49Tim asks whether the shocking part of abuse systems is the pedophilia itself or the bureaucratic implementation by agency personnel.
- 42:23Some cult segments view the defilement of innocence as their highest sacrament, making them ideal for CIA programs requiring child abuse.
- 42:56The Church of Satan and Temple of Set were listed as valid religions in the Army chaplain's handbook.
- 43:30A major scandal at the Presidio military base in San Francisco involved abuse of very young children, some with venereal diseases.
- 44:05Colonel Michael Aquino, an admitted Satanist, was identified by a child victim whose house and bathroom matched descriptions in a police search warrant.
- 44:42Tim traces Satanism in American history back to the Enlightenment, when anti-Christian symbols represented freedom from church authority.
- 45:22Occultists Tim has interviewed vary between those drawn to aesthetics and those who acknowledge a very dark side where sinister practices occur.
- 45:54Fraternities and elite societies are commonly excused as theatrical hazing rather than actual occult practice, but some Franklin scandal victims reported genuine occult abuse.
