The Indigo Dawn website was typical modern New Ager nonsense that threw a little bit of everything together and liberally ripped off 70s hippy "starchild" blarny.I corrected a couple of righty websites like Gateway Pundit and got good reactions, but Jim from Gateway is a cool dude, but the Satanism angles too juicy during a political season for people not to beat it to death. Joy was a liberal Christian who got involved with anti-war human shield groups pre-Iraqi invasion and traveled to Iraq to meet with the Baathists. Perhaps that's where she got into caging and raping people, but what's interesting is that if you look at the pictures she came back with she visited with the yazidis who are widely considered by most to be...devil worshippers.The gods do have a sense of humor. Anyway Satanic panic or not I'm happy to let Satanist take the blame for these two, the last thing we need is to prove that to grifters who turn S&M experimentation into rape and torture are pagans. The C.O.S. has already disavowed them, I'm keeping quiet and letting this blow over. A lot of people still confuse hack occultism with Satanism.

Of course, now, we're off to the races, especially if WRAL news gets going.. You might know a little something about WRAL -- that's where a certain Mr. Jesse Helms got his start, as a commentator. - Beth Owl I live in Durham and some of the Raleigh newspaper reporters covering this have personally (ie, *not* on the record) speculated that in their initial report, the Durham police might have confused “sadism” with “satanism.” Of course, now, we’re off to the races, especially if WRAL news gets going..
