The following messages are taken from 2 law enforcement magazines. The first
one is from the May-Jun1988 issue of Police and Security News, Days
Communications, 1690 quarry rd. P O Box 330, Kulpsville, Pa. 19443." Satanism
and its relationship to Crime"
LEditors note: because of the high degree of interest that law enforcement
administrators and investigators have shown regarding Satanism and its
relationship to crime, Police and Security News will be offering more detailed
information on the subject in our next issue.
SOUTH ORANGE, NJ tHE KIDNAPPING AND SACRIFICIAL MURDER OF UNBAPTIZED INFANTS,
rape, sodomy, corpse theft, forced homosexuality, animal sacrifice, unlawful
burial, dismembing and more crimes too heinous to describe are the elements of
a new threat to modern law enforcement. These actions are the main ingredients
of Satanism, devil worship, witchcraft, the occult, and related pagan religios
lore. Although it has been common belief by most Americans that the practice of
the "black arts" was a problem occurrioin Calirnia, these ritualistic practices
have been revealed as widespread and occurring in many American cities and
states.
Participants ranging from every racial and ethnic group, and all ocupations
from teachers to carpenters, factory workers to top level executives, law
enforcement personnel to both enlisted and commissioned members of the armed
forces, and ministers and priests, regard their practices of Satanism aerious".
It must be noted that witchcraft exists as an alternative to the Christian fai,
much as do Buddhism and Hinduism. Satanism is a direct adversary to
Christianity and satanists continue to claim witchcraft as their own creation.
They actively seek to recruit followers for their respective rituals as
impressionable teens and adults whose religious beliefs have declined because
of tragedy or religious dissatisfaction. These rituals and ceremonies include
the consuming of flesh and human and animal blood, sometimes desecrated with
wine, urine, and other foreign substances.
The law enforcement community, when it refers to Satanism and crime, by the
more than 3,000 active groups within the United States and Canada, can directly
identify with the sexual assault of unwilling frmale altens, sodomy, and the
murders by human sacrifice as statutory crimes. The additional factors that
must be realized by all in law enforcement, are that these practices include
other crimes such as theft, arson, drug trafficking, robbery, and pornography.
These crimes account for the millions of dollars obtained and utilized to
further the efforts of Satanists in their illicit and sacriligious activities.
As in many crime-related activities, there are warning signs that are
identifiable and that may prevent such lurid actions.
These "Warning signs" include the dates of regularly scheduled events, called
sabbats( and solstices) , dutifully held on Feb. 2, March 21, April 30, June
22, Aug. 1, Sept. 21, and the most clelebrated festival on Oct. 31, commonly
referred to as All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween. Other warning signs include the
theft of blessed bread and holy water from Catholic churches. Most of these
thefts go unreported. It is important to note that Satanists believe that
Catholic priests have the "power" to change the communion bread into the body
of Christ. It is upon this fact that these articles are slen and used in
non-religious fashions, during the rituals and ceremonies, which include their
uses as sexual paraphernalia.embers of the American public and the law
enforcement community remain bewildered to the strong draw of Satanism and
occult worship on our modern society.
Its overpowering influences , through rock music, which has engulfed and
mesmerized wunwary populations, and the study of the literature of the
supernatural, sometimes taught during English instruction to enhance student
learning, is more evident of old and new activities of the historical problem
that continues to plague our society today.

Extensive reseaarch on the topic of Satanism, witchcraft, and the occult, has
revealed an upward surge in the reading of satanic oriented literature by
incarcerated inmates at penal and correctional facilities across the United
States. It is evident that, in the near future, if not already a problem, penal
authorities will be faced with the task of rendering vital decisions to inmates
seeking to make Satanism a recognised religion. Many may attempt to use it to
overcome court rulings. Extensive attempts to have Satanism and witchcraft
accepted as a "religious preferen now underway by both enlisted and
commissioned personnel of America's armed forces abroad" Through  proper
channels" In addition, efforts are being made to solicit the support of
actively related groups accross Europe.
Satanism and its relationship to crime are still often undetectable to modern
law enforcement, corrections, and corporate security, as witnessed by countless
hundreds of advisories. Education and enhand enforcement see|`{m to be the
only"weapons" issued to combat the problem.
The Constitution offers all Americans the freedom to practice their respective
religion, but nowhere does tate that crimes, such as those evident in the
practice of Satanism and related activities, shall be allowed to flourish as a
result.
Additional information of interest to law enforcement, related occupations and
significant others, regarding education and training, seeking to better "arm"
all American law enforcement in their battle against Satanism, witchcraft, and
the occult is available by writing to Dr. A. Herbert Peterson, C.E.O. United
states Citizens' Commission on Crime and Narcotice, P O Box 1092, South
Orange,NJ.

All of this proves my point that organized Satanism among criminals, convicts,
psychopaths (and the perverse rich & gangsters/drug gangs) is a problem.  You
can skoff at Satanism in prisons but it's the most natural place for it to
flourish & they're winning converts all the time.  Scum like this are drawn to
Satanism like vampires to a (flame?  cow? anyway).  The original Satanists were
more Nazi-worshipers, bikers, homosexual types. Present ones have all the same
character flaws but they don't have to be so far advanced for them to find a
Master.  They can find a Master next time they're in the Joint, no problem.

Quality of Satanist recruits has suffered as the sickness has spread to these
criminal dregs -- they got more committed people (though less-profess ional
criminals) when they were poaching among Scientologists, etc.  But dangerous?
You had better believe it.  The had no problem getting{someone "inside" to
slice David Berkowitz's throat.

Why close your eyes to this.  You don't have anything in common with these
lowlifes, do you?  [I believe you do not]

Satanic Groups Update by Herbert Peterson, from "Police Marksman Magazine,
May/June, 1988
" There is increasing evidence revealing that the United States and Canada are
facing a rise of criminal activity in an area that could be the most difficult
to detect. It is a dubject brought to nationwide attention by ite recent fatal
aftermaths, and it may be the most challenging activity that has ever plagued
law enforcement agencies in American history. There are over 5,000 occult
groups in the United States and Canada who have general interest in or acrively
practice pagan religious lore, witchcraft, and Satanism. Many more are being
formed on a regular basis throughour North America. further engaging and
widening the scope of Satanic worship and crime. Recently, a number of related
incidents have become evident, creating an awareness between law enforcement
agencies and the genreal public. These incidents have shown what purported
satanic influences can have on community health and safety.
In Texas, an undercover police officer working on a drug distribution case at a
high school was murdered by a number of students alleged to by involved in
Satanism. In Rhode Island, a killer stated that Satan had forced him to beat,
sexually assault, and kill two children. In Indiana, 15 corpses were  reported
stolen from area graves, and indications alleged that a number of area suicides
appeared to have been satanic-related.
In New Jersey, a young adolescent , who had been described as an outstanding
studt and athlete, killed his mother and attempted to kill other members of his
family by burning the family home. The act was attributed to his recent reading
of books addressing the occult and satanic worship. These are only a few of
many incidents that continue to plague our society in cities and across the
nation. Recently released information has disclod similar activities occurring
on military installations and involving military personnel of all ranks.
It is vital that law enforcement agencies, military investigation divisions,
educators, and accre members of the news media remain apprised of new
publications, programs, technology, and the benefits of acquired intellligence,
gathered to fight this new enemy of the American law enforcement effore, and
all Americans. Additional information regarding Satanism, witchcraft, the
occult, devil worship, ritualistic ceremonies, and the names and addresses of
the more that 3,,, highly active occultic and satanic groups , by geographic
area, in the United States and Canada, may be obtained by writing to Survival
Associates, P O Box 403, Short Hills, NJ, 07078.
Address for the Police Marksman mag. is P O Box 17690, Montgomery, Ala.
36117-0690. PLEASE write and do something about this vicious propaganda. This
isn't some fringe nut like Vile 18, this is MAIN  LINE cop publications here.
We've got someone who's ordered the listing. It runs $300 I'll bet you, every
group in the Circle guide is on that list. Nice thought Huh? BB Rowan

Last quote from Police Marksman magazine is over the top, even I will admit,
but what do you expect?  Best thing you could do is what you suggested --
enlighten publisher & these public-info groups about your true nature.  I don't
think you people have anything in{common with practicing Satanists IN FACT and
they'd probably scare you half to death if you met more than two of them on a
deserted street.

So why allow this averse {ublicity affect you when its these nuts who are
involved?  Make people understand you're different.  If you weren't so
secretive in the first place people wouldn't be so inclined to believe this
stuff.  I mean the Jews kept their stuff to themselves in the Middle Ages and
look what people said about THEM.  And did to them.

Just a suggestion.  There are probably no more than 2000 active Satanists &
acolytes/accomplices nationwide so TELL PEOPLE THIS.
