Satan Hunter Wilfred Wong found GUILTY of Child Kidnapping.
Refuses to swear on the bible in court so he can lie without damning his soul!
On 23 July 2021 the Sectarian
Liar Wilfred Wong, long exposed by the SAFF as a danger to society, was found guilty of kidnapping an eight year old child at knifepoint.
Fired by religious mania Wong has spent the last 29 years on a tirade of
sectarian malice using false-allegations of Satanic Ritual Child Abuse to fuel hatred amongst the
evangelistic Christians he networks with in a successful attempt to
graft the ancient Blood Libel Myth with the fundie Anti-Abortion
movement.
Wong has consciously and continuously encouraged a false belief in the
existence of Satanic Ritual Child Abuse and encouraged others to take action against it.
In 2016 he began his latest campaign with a Satan Seminar in
London alongside another Christian fundamentalist agitator by the name
of Andrew Boyd who had, 24 years earlier manipulated channel 4
television into broadcasting a sensational 'film of actual Satanic Abuse happening'. Within days the film was exposed by the SAFF as a performance art video and a complete fraud. Millions of British viewers had been conned by this clique of Bible thumpers.
It was a nationwide scandal from which it took Boyd two decades to
recover as the memory of his lies about SRA slipped from view, yet here
he and Wong were again campaigning to manipulate the minds of other
gullible Christians in 2016 with his campaign Christians Demand Action Against Satanist Ritual Abuse.
With the advent of social media networking this time Wong was able to
reach literally millions of gullible Christians and with the help of
other evangelical leaders who opened doors for him with streaming
channels like Youtube with Wong giving long Sermons about the 'millions
of kids killed in Satanism' it took him just five years to reach the
inevitable point where he took the law into his own hands and talked his
gang of fundie
followers into kidnapping Child X.
The seven people involved in Wong's gang of crusaders were all
fundamentalist Christians who believe in the existence of Satanic Ritual
Abuse and suffused with that bigotry had falsely accused Child X's father
of it.
Wilfred Wong and his gang clandestinely travelled from London to Wales
in a complicated kidnap plot to abduct Child X from his home in
Anglesey. That poor child was snatched from his foster
mother 'at knifepoint' 'kicking and screaming' .
When caught
Wong was found to be in possession of a tactical assault knife and a bag
of kidnap materials involving cable ties, and a mask..
Were it not for the quick actions of North Wales Police Child X would have been spirited away
into Europe and probably never seen again. The police undertook a fast
pursuit down the M1 and an armed police squad caught Wong and his gang 200 miles away near
Northampton in a dramatic three car blocking manoeuvre a video of which we post below.
Robert Frith suffocated in his cell - the fundies said Satanists had done it
Wong was the indisputable ring-leader of the gang but to add further tragedy to this
appallingly fanatical act of kidnap, one of the people Wong recruited
was, Robert Frith, a former psychiatric nurse, who was later found dead in his cell after (according to the
post-mortem) sticking his head in a plastic bag, whilst on remand.
So, one dead perpetrator and an 8 year old child traumatised for the rest of his life on Wong's sinful soul.
Typically the fundie SRA network, in trying to overcome their shock at
having Wong, their evangelical hero become an evil child
kidnapper, have insisted that Frith was killed by
'The Satanists'. Some have actually capitalised on the poor man's
death by trying to posit it
as proof of Satanic involvement in the case to justify Child-X's
kidnapping! The mentality of these people is thoroughly paranoic.
The extent to which Wong and his Gang planned the kidnapping of Child-X
is astonishing and we will outline it for you in detail below but first here's
the blow by blow account of how this disgusting crime was carried out
and how the police thwarted it.
WONG KIDNAP TIMELINE
The gang of thugs, lead by knife-man Wilfred Wong, hatched a harrowing
plan to spirit the victim abroad but they were caught and stopped by police
officers after a 200 mile chase. Wilfred Wong abducted Child-X from Gaerwen on Anglesey, North Wales on
the afternoon of November 4th 2020. Wong's plan was to take the kidnapped child across the channel to France.
At about 4.pm on the afternoon of November 4, the foster mother who was
caring for Child-X had picked him up from school and driven
back to their home when a silver Citroen Picasso car, carrying two
people, suddenly drew up and parked on the road, alongside.
The foster mum told the court that a woman got out and “lunged” towards her car.
She said: “She opened the car door and tried to remove Child-X from my car.”
The foster mother said the woman - later identified as Anke Hill - managed
to unclip a seatbelt "from around the waist and just pulled the
child into the silver car after quite bit of a struggle”. Anke
Hill then got into the back seat of the silver car, with Child-X.
Prosecutor Anna Pope asked: “How was Child-X when Hill was doing this?”
The foster mum said the child was “terrified” and started sobbing.
“Child-X kept calling my name and asking me to help. I tried to hold on
to him as much as I could.”
Then a man dressed in black wearing a mask (later identified as Wilfred
Wong) emerged from the silver Citroen Picasso, as the foster mum
was screaming and becoming hysterical.
The foster mum told the court: that Wong had come around the back of her .
“He held a knife to my face and told me to let Child-X go.”
She did so and Wong then went round the back of her car and stuck the
tactical military knife into her car's tyre so she could not follow his
Citroen getaway car.
“I saw him crouch down and heard a hissing noise. The tyre went flat”.
Wong then joined Anke Hill and Child-X in the silver Citroen and they drove off towards Bangor.
However, two landscape gardeners - working on a fence opposite - noted
the silver Citroen’s registration number. One of them, Lee
Pritchard Roberts told prosecutor Anna Pope that his workmate Dave
Roberts brought his attention to a silver Citroen Picasso which had
parked across the street.
He said: “The car was revving as if it was impatient or waiting for something.
“We heard shouting and screaming (coming from the hysterical foster mum) and
thought it was maybe a domestic. We put our heads down and thought ‘We
don’t want to get involved. But the commotion got louder and we thought;
‘This was probably something a bit more’.”
Mr Roberts added:
“I could see a male (Wong) attempting to pull a child
out of the rear passenger side of the black people carrier. He had short
dark hair, glasses and a facemask. “The child was struggling -
kicking its legs. There was screaming and shouting and the car seat fell
onto the pavement.” The child “was put in the back of the Citroen
Picasso, through the rear driver’s side”. “The male (Wong) went
round and punctured the rear, passenger side wheel of the foster mother's people carrier.”
The prosecutor Ms Pope asked Roberts what kind of object was used to puncture the tyre and he
said:
“It was effortless. Whatever he had was really
sharp.” Roberts said the foster mother was “shouting hysterically ‘My child has been
kidnapped!’
The court heard that the foster mum then dialled 999 to call the police.
Hill and Wong drove to Cyttir Lane, Bangor, stopped and transferred Child-X into a second getaway car a hired silver Ford Galaxy which was waiting for them. The Galaxy was driven by Edward "Ted" Stevenson, with his wife Janet Stevenson, 67, in the front passenger seat.
It sped off along the A55 bound for southern England and was driven 200
miles all the way to Northants before police caught up with the
car.
The joint operation involved
several police forces. They eventually thwarted the kidnappers by stopping
their car on the M1 motorway near Newport Pagnell (Junction 15), at
about 8pm, four hours after the kidnap bid started. Three
vehicles from Northamptonshire Armed Response Vehicle team cornered the
car, which allegedly displayed false number plates (See movie clip of
the fugitive's chase by clicking on the illustration on the right.
The Stevensons were sat in the front seats of the vehicle, while Child-X
was sat in the rear between Hill and Wong Clutching a toy monkey.
Child-X was taken to safety while all four adults from the Galaxy (
Wong, the Stevensons, and Hill) - were arrested on suspicion of
child abduction and hand cuffed at the side of the motorway.
In a search of the car officers found a 'kidnappers' kit' of items in a
rucksack and bag
belonging to Wilfred Wong which included cable ties, a balaclava and a
serrated lock knife. Detective Constable Lee Harshey Jones,
of
North Wales Police, later told the court Wong's rucksack contained a
knife; a black Jack Wolfskin, open face balaclava; cable ties (two
ready-looped and one open) and a bag of unused ties.
Forensic scientist Adam Wilson later said the serrated blade of a lock
knife
found in Wong’s rucksack was used to slash the foster mother's tyre.
Child-X was thankfully returned "safe and unharmed" just hours after the kidnapping.
A further two accomplices have since been detained in Wales; a
look-out called Jane Claire Going-Hill, 59, of Pump Street, Holyhead,
who was arrested in a Honda Jazz car at The Antelope pub in Bangor as
the investigation continued. Her companion in the car Robert
Frith, 65, of Tyn Parc, Holyhead, was also arrested but died in prison
last November while on remand for the same charge.
By February 16th 2021, a seventh member of the gang, one Kristine
Geraldine Ellis-Petley, 58, of Ffordd Tudur, Holyhead, was arrested and
admitted conspiring to kidnap a child.
The Trial and the SRA Circus surrounding it.
Although committed in early November 2020 this trial was very complex
and did not begin until June 28 during which time Wong was remanded to
HMP Berwen, North Wales. There were 7 people to prosecute with
varying pleas of guilty and not-guilty and the delays in the justice
system due to Covid-19 enabled Wong's fundie supporters to set up
impromptu campaigns to 'prove his innocence' almost all of which
involved blogs and videos on the internet which breached sub-judice
laws. The judge in charge of the case; Judge Nicola Jones did an
excellent job of coping with some very strange events.
One long-time Wong supporter and fundamentalist activist, Richard
Carvath revealed forbidden information on Wong's crime in great
detail in his blog simply by using the name Willy Wonka and not
referring to Wong at all. Carvath, along with other fundies, held
'vigils' outside Wong's prison. During the trial Carvath pretending to
be a journalist, gained access to court and interrupted proceedings by
calling from the public gallery. He was physically thrown
out.
Another madcap fundie agitator and Wong supporter Owen Lucas, from the 'SRA Common Law Assembly'
disregarded the court entirely on the basis of his novel idea of
'Common Law' which in his opinion meant that sub-judice didn't
apply. He was subsequently arrested, pleaded not guilty, and so
spent 7 weeks in prison on remand, then changed his plea to guilty and
was tried and convicted on 29 July 2021.
Another wong colleague and supporter, the madcap Jeanette Archer,
an SRA believer and fundie, organised an on-line campaign to 'free
Wilfred', arranged protests in Anglesey and several in London during
which letters from Wilfred Wong were (against sub-judice rules) read out
to the hundred or so people present. She published many
videos insisting that Wong had been right to kidnap Child-X and appealed
for money from donors to continue her work to 'expose SRA'.
On one of these anti-SRA protests Archer stood outside the gates of
Number 10 Downing Street and, using a megaphone, accused Boris Johnson
of being a Satanist who drank the blood of children. Not
only was the prime minister a Satanic child-killer, said Archer,
but so were all the members of his his Cabinet and all the permanent
secretaries in Whitehall. This illustrated the fact that
anyone who stands in the fundies' way is an enemy and their authority is
repudiated.
Private Eye covered this event (see illustration alongside - please note that although shown in miniature if you click on these graphics they will open up to full size for easy reading).
We mention these three maniacs as examples of the continuous stream of
fundie propaganda on the internet from madcap evangelical
Christians. Other fundies were also arrested and prosecuted or
cautioned. Of course the SAFF has warned the police and government
of this country for decades about this growing threat from
Fundamentalist Terrorism but they have, as usual, turned a blind eye to
it until the monster is now causing the justice system real trouble.
The important thing to keep in mind is that there is, literally, an Army
of hundreds of thousands of people who have been encouraged by Wong and
who see him as a Christian Martyr. The fact is that after three
decades of these hyper-sensitive people searching the world to find a
Satanic Abuser they have come up with nothing. Satanic Ritual
Abuse of children or adults simply does not exist. It is a figment of
religious fanaticism. This is exactly what the original definitive government report on the 1990 Satanic Panic said when it was published in 1994.
There have been NO instances of Satanic Abuse in the last 30 years. But
if you listen to Wong and Archer they claim that literally thousands of
children have been murdered. If an anti-Semitic group
published propaganda that Jews killed and ate Christian children by
slitting their throats and catching the blood in a chalice they would be
imprisoned for hate crime, but because these fundies hide behind
Christianity and blame unpopular Satanists, they are allowed to get away
with these blood libels each and every day. Well this is the
result - one man dead through shame, a child traumatised for life and
four silly evangelical Christians who've ruined their lives by believing
in a tent-crusader flogging a religious phantom.
The Trial
The Trial spanned three weeks and ended on 9th August 2021 with Wong and all but one of those on trial being found guilty.
The jury heard how Hill conspired with Wong and Janet Stevenson to
kidnap the child from foster care, with the help of the other
three. Hill believed the child had been the victim of
satanic abuse in the past, before being fostered, though police
had investigated those claims and found there was no evidence to support the
allegation.
The court heard the kidnap gang was recruited after Hill contacted
Wong through viewing his many interviews on Satanic Ritual Child Abuse
which are circulating on Youtube, Facebook and Bitchute, amongst the
fundamentalist Christian network. Evangelistic Christians consider
him the doyenne of truth about SRA even though he has had no success in
proving it in the three decades during which he has promoted the idea.
Hill
found Wong online, and phone records produced in court showed the pair
spent many hours in conversation.
Wong then put Hill in contact with Janet Stevenson, a Christian Counsellor who 'specialises in working with victims of satanic abuse'.
In fact Stevenson is a believer in SRA and has worked with Wilfred Wong
before to therapise vulnerable women who come to Wong through his on
line lectures and statements.
The
court was told that Wong had spread the rumour that all social services
are "infiltrated by Satanists". The jury were shown extracts from
outlandish claims which Wilfred Wong made on a YouTube video. In the
footage played to the court Wong said:
“The family
court system (has) been infiltrated by Satanists, as well as social
services. It enables them to turn upside down the system that is
supposed to protect children from abuse into something that “protects
the abuser and penalises the whistleblower, and gives the child back to
the abuser’s custody.”
Wong also claimed on his video, without a shred of evidence, that
Satanists use
social services to make money: “Fostering agencies, care agencies, local
authorities and so called experts say that the whistle blowing (person)
is not fit to care for the child. “They make tens of thousands of pounds...it’s a gravy train.”
Then in the video he says darkly;
“It has
become so clear that the only way to protect a child from (abuse) is to
take the child and flee the country, and hide until the child has grown
to adulthood. It’s the government’s fault for allowing the family courts to be corrupted to this extent.”
“It has become so clear that the only way to protect a child from
(abuse) is to take the child and flee the country, and hide until the
child has grown to adulthood. It’s the government’s fault for
allowing the family courts to be corrupted to this extent.”
That video ought now to be
taken down by Youtube in case it encourages other fundies to kidnap
other children. In another video, the jury watched
Wong make more sensational claims:
"I do
surveillance on Satanic covens. They like to meet on dates in the
Satanic calendar and on the birth dates of their members "
Unfortunately the prosecution
did not mention that Wong was part of a network of vigilante
Satan-hunters who in military style, secretly DO stake-out people,
groups and sites where Satanists are rumoured to practice their
rites. One of Wong's close colleagues is the granddaughter
of the late Geoffrey Dickens MP, the man who actually started the
Satanic Panic in Britain in the 1990s. Wong was involved in chasing
imagined Satanists at that time and worked closely with Geoffrey Dickens
and other MPs who formed a Christian 5th column within
Parliament. Indeed one of the few parliamentarians who, unwisely,
wrote to support Wong was Geoffrey Dickens was also a
Christian fundamentalist
who used Holy Writ to back up his moral position. Wong today
continues his witch-hunting work with Louise Dickens who since becoming a
born-again Christian has taken up the Satan Hunter mantle of her
Grandfather with gusto. In an interview on the Jimmy O Show just a
few weeks before Wong carried out his kidnapping plot, she told the
host;
Yes, I do
surveillance, I do a lot of surveillance and I will be out all night and
I will go everywhere and I drive around and will be climbing over walls
in the dark by myself, hiding in bushes and (snigger) I'm like bloody
Commando Jayne and I've been everywhere trying and so has Wilfred Wong
for 30 years...
In other words these Christian vigilantes encourage each other
to seek-out evidence of SRA. Though their literature and videos show
plainly that they cannot actually find any (because it doesn't exist)
these escapades become a kind of practice manouvers to firm-up their
para-military activities and in this case resulted in Wong stepping over
the line and committing the serious crime of kidnap. In short
there are many other fundamentalist agitators like Wong ready to abduct
other children and the government MUST now take this matter seriously to
avoid it becoming a Crime Fad.
Soon after Wong had introduced Hill to Janet Stevenson, Hill is said to have produced 'drawings of Satanic Abuse'. Based
on these drawings Stevenson pronounced her a victim of SRA and together
they worked with Wong and the others to organise an elaborate plan to
'rescue' Child-X from the imagined Satanic cult.
We point out that 'drawings of Satanic Abuse' have featured heavily in
almost every case of claimed SRA and are seized upon by believers as
'proof'. However even though used in dozens of claimed SRA cases
those cases all failed in the courts. Getting a child or even an
adult to draw what they think are satanists usually results in
stereotypical sketches of Witches in pointy hats which have no
evidential significance! We append two that featured in
major cases in the 1990s which show exactly that happening. A kid
or a young adult fantasises drawings of Halloween Witches and over-eager
fundamentalist counsellors and therapists immediately see what they've
been searching for.
In Prof. Jean La Fontaine's 1994 government report on the 1990 SRA
phenomenon she covered the projection of prejudice like this onto small
children and vulnerable adults by saying that none of the Satan
Hunters believed that silence from the people they were questioning
meant that there was nothing to say. They kept on questioning
until they found some small particle which could be twisted to have some
connection with the occult to confirm their own prejudices. That
is obviously what Janet Stevenson did and therefore takes equal guilt to
Wilfred Wong as without her rubber-stamping the existence of SRA the kidnap plot would not have gone ahead.
The SRA-hunters plan was not in any way amateurish, in fact it smacked
of a great deal of research. It involved code names and a
clandestine rendezvous at Bangor railway
station, where one gang member arrived by train and followed another
through the city at a distance. At one stage, the
conspirators
also considered modifying a horsebox with a secret compartment to
smuggle the child away. DC Hughes said he suspected a horsebox
could have been used in the final plan and asked Going-Hill to take him
to it. But when she did it was empty. Earlier Janet
Stevenson had that claimed Hill had paid £600 to a friend to build a
compartment
in a bulkhead of the cab of a horsebox, that was in September
2020, two months before the actual kidnap took place
During
the trial Wong behaved irrationally. He refused to swear on the
bible. This was a strange thing for a fundamentalist bible thumper to do
considering that all his videos are laced with biblical quots and holy
writ. You can see him quoting from the bible in the image on the
left. Refusing to swear on the bible and instead taking a civil
oath was a strategy probably designed to enable him to lie without incurring damage to his Soul.
Four of his gang admitted their guilt straight away but Wilfred Wong
their mentor betrayed those whom he had inculcated into the kidnap, by
trying to dodge his guilt. He claimed to have been on a 'walking
holiday' in
Wales instead. He said:
"I'd have been more of a liability than a help
with any abduction plan. I would have been too old and too slow for that
sort of thing."
But
the weight of evidence and testimony was overwhelming, the jury
didn't believe his wicked lies and convicted him and the Stevensons
after eight hours of deliberation, just over an hour for each person in the gang.
Janet Stevenson Pleads not guilty and then implicates herself.
Giving evidence, Janet Stevenson implicated herself by telling the
court how the plotters had concocted two plans
to snatch the child from foster care - including one involving a secret
compartment in a horsebox. She remained faithful to her
religious beliefs throughout the trial, her standpoint seemed to be that
she was so certain of the child being harmed by Satanists that she
didn't see the kidnap as a crime and her first responsibility was to God
and not man's laws. This is a common psychology amongst
fundamentalists.
Stevenson admitted asking friends in northern France to look after
documents which were to be given to Hill, if she made it over the
Channel with
Child-X. Stevenson believed she was on a “rescue
mission” to save the child from their “Satanist” father. Stevenson
said she believed Child-X was about to be
returned to his father to suffer more Satanic Abuse. She claimed
to have seen drawings which made her
think Child X's father was a Satanist. The police
looked carefully into these accusations and found them baseless.
Stevenson rationalised her evil act by saying;
“People
during the Second World War, who were trying to smuggle children out of
concentration camps in suitcases or bags, put themselves at risk that
they would be shot by the Gestapo. “I could not turn my head the
other way and say ‘It’s not my child. I don’t care’. “I did care. I
cared passionately that the child should be safe.”
Obviously there is no
comparison between Jewish children who were destined for extermination
in gas chambers under the NAZI regime, and a child who was safely under
the protection of Social Services in Britain, who living happily with a
recognised foster mother, and whose life was not at risk, but this
is the extreme way these evangelical believers in SRA pitch their
arguments.
The prosecutor asked Stevenson if she considered that taking Child-X had
been in her view a “rescue mission”. It was a leading question
which would incriminate her but Stevenson replied that it
was. “It was an offence but it was morally right because
they were saving children. She added;
“I would say safeguarding a child overrides that. I would not say it’s a criminal offence.”
But
is Janet Stevenson the caring Christian do-gooder she portrays herself
to be? No she is not. Although outwardly a
lover-of-light with a business called Train2grow consultancy,
and a long track record of helping disturbed folk there is another not
often seen aspect to Stevenson's character.
Her twitter account was suspended shortly after she was arrested
and observers trying to find it will just get a message saying the
account is suspended. However the SAFF were able to obtain a look
inside that twitter account and it made interesting reading.
We firstly discovered this tweet shown alongside in a thread between
Dame Alun Roberts (@ciabaudo) Janet Stevenson (@janetstevenson) and
Samantha Baldwin (@sammy_lianne) in which false accusations of
corruption are made against Judge Jeremy Lea who oversaw the
court ruling against Samantha Baldwin who has been viciously attacking
her ex-husband for years to get her kids back, but only relatively
recently began making claims of Satanic Abuse against him.
Baldwin runs a 'survivor group' called the 'Free Our Children Movement'
which encourages estranged mothers to take action to get their kids
back from the courts. Baldwin is in close touch with Janette
Archer, Wilfred Wong and many others in the Christian Vigilante
movement.
It should be noted that @ciabaudo is an old-hand at false
allegations of sexual abuse, having been one of the main players in
promoting on Twitter the false claims Carl 'Nick' Beech and his lies
about supposed child-abusers in Westminster. These included allegations
that Ted Heath, the former British prime minister, had murdered children
in Satanic ceremonies. A two million pound police inquiry
closed in 2019 finding no truth in any of those accusations and Carl
'Nick' Beech was subsequently found guilty of perverting the course of
justice and given 18 years in prison for fabricating lies which severly
damaged the lives of several people.
In his eagerness to establish the idea of VIP abuse, @ciabaudo began
viciously attacking anyone who repudiated the claims and formed a main
player in a gang of trolls who persecuted and victimised Barbara Hewson
out of her legal career by ganging up with others to try to 'cancel' her
with the Law Society. Hewson died of cancer in 2020 and
many people believe it was the nerve-wracking persecution heaped upon
her by @ciabaudo and his gang which caused it.
Yes
dear reader, these people who are so morally correct rushing to protect
children whom they say have been abused by imaginary Satanists become
vicious extremists at the drop of a hat when the facade of 'caring' soon
vanishes.
One of the major promoters of the idea of Satanic Ritual Abuse is
criminologist Mike Salter, a Canadian academic who regularly lectures on
SRA and who considers that all the 1990 claimed SRA cases, which failed
when they got to court, would today be found true! It is
people like this who manipulate the minds of rank-and-file fundies and
encourage extremism.
In one of Janet Stevenson's retweets we see a tweet (see right) from
Salter with the fake news that False Memory Syndrome is not a proper
syndrome and that it was invented by pro-paedophile lobby to block law
reform on sexual abuse. That is utterly untrue of course.
Academics at the British False Memory Society
have done sterling research work over three decades to show how
debatable therapeutic methods used by fundie counsellors and feminist
therapists actually create false memories in the minds of patients who
come to them. Just like Janet Stevenson did with Anke Hill. Note that the this retweet was another retweet of a retweet by Samantha Baldwin.
What you may not know is that the SAFF have tried to engage both
Michael Salter and Samantha Baldwin independently in a discussion
on their claims but in response both Baldwin and Salter have blocked the
SAFF to disable that discussion and keep their fundamentalist followers
in the dark. That is what we mean by fundie manipulation.
Again this tweet concerns the fundie 'received wisdom' that the courts
are run by Satanic Abusers. One can imagine that after soaking-up
thousands of bits of propaganda like this which are utterly false,
Stevenson could glibly challenge the court and say that Kidnap is not a
criminal offence.
The
SAFF have tried to engage both Salter and Samantha Baldwin
independently in a discussion of their claims and both Baldwin and
Salter have refused to discuss them and blocked the SAFF to disable
that discussion.
Others
have similarly tried to question and challenge Mike Salter's prejudiced
and criminally incorrect conclusions but he ducks and dives to avoid
any debate - you can see about Salter's background and activities here:
Janet
Stevenson's Twitter timeline has many Baldwin retweets and likes.
Stevenson is obviously firmly connected to the Christian Vigilante
circuit. She regularly tweeted against abortion and other
fundamentalist dictums. Note well that her Child-X kidnap took place on November 4 just after Halloween.
The SAFF have many times emphasised the lunacy that fundamentalist Christians attach to Halloween. ( Here is a massive analysis of the way that fundie extremists linked to Wong have over the years propagandised Halloween to make it appear that it is 'the prime festival of the Satanic Year' when it is nothing of the kind.)
Stevenson sucked-in these Halloween lies and obviously believes in them, having tweeted about Halloween as being a Satanic festival (which it isn't) In the lead up to the November 4 kidnap. See
pics alongside which show Stevenson expecting Satanic crimes against
children to occur at Halloween. Of course none did. They never
do. Good job the SAFF researches, records and analyses all this
stuff over the years so we can show how false the fundie claims actually
are! On the 1st of November 2020 three days before the kidnap, Stevenson tweeted blaming Amazon for selling Satanic Products!
Stevenson sucked in these lies and obviously believes in them, having tweeted about Halloween as being a Satanic festival seven days before the November 4 kidnapping attempt.
Look at this;
'Wilfred Wong is perhaps
the person who knows more about Satanic abuse than anyone else in the
world' - Jon Wedger being interviewed in a video streamed on-line.
The combination of Wong
acting as a 'world expert' on Satanic Ritual Child Abuse, and being
promoted as such by his friends in the fundamentalist cadre added to
Janet Stevenson's authority as an established counsellor of distraught
victims who pretended to be qualified to confirm Satanic Abuse in cases
which Wong brought to her, was the crux of the kidnapping of
Child-X. Stevenson is as responsible as Wong.
Mr and Mrs Brighton
However during the trial a new strand in the story opened up when it
was revealed that Wilfred Wong and Stevenson had attempted to kidnap the
child four weeks earlier than the date of their crime by inveigling two
other people into a different kidnap plot which was eventually dropped.
A Brighton man, was called to give witness at the four-week trial (He
could not be named because his wife suffered abuse as a child and was
under court protection). The jury heard that, like Anke Hill, the
Brighton couple had researched abuse on the internet and found YouTube
videos made by Wilfred Wong. The Brighton man said:
“The topic he spoke about was Satanic ritual abuse.”
The prosecutor Anna Pope asked him: “You and (your wife) watched them and they gave your wife some help?
“Yes, some understanding.”
The court heard the couple met Wong several times and they met again
at their home on 16 October 2020 to discuss a “secret” proposal by
Wong. Wong said:
“He said
he had been working with a woman in Wales for some time and very soon a
child in foster care was going to be given back to their father, who is a
Satanist, and he (Wong) wants to rescue the child.”
The Brighton man said Wong
wanted him to hire a van in Brighton, preferably a Luton van, which has a
large area above the cab, and drive to Surrey. There, the van would be
loaded up with furniture, and some void or space in the vehicle would be
formed to accommodate a woman and a child.
“After that,
they would leave Surrey and drive to a bridge in Wales - I assumed it
would be the Severn Bridge. And then the (woman) and child would come in
a car and be put in a van.
“I’d have to drive to
a port on the south coast, probably Newhaven. Then we would get a ferry
from Newhaven - which only goes to Dieppe - and drive to another
location.” “I said (to Wong) ‘What if I got stopped by police'?"
Wong told him:
“You just
tell them that you didn’t know, that you are just delivering furniture
and will be paid a few thousand pounds at the end - as part of my
story.”
The Brighton man said: “I was shocked. The whole scheme was racing through my mind.”
But when Wong had left he said to his wife: “This is crazy. It’s kidnapping. It’s abduction. I’m not doing it. It’s against the law.”
Two days later, Wong rang the Brighton man to press him for
his answer. Mr Brighton man said he knew for a fact officials
check hulls, vehicles, bicycles and motorbikes and may use dogs and heat
seeking equipment too.
“Wilfred tried to reassure me that everything would be alright. I said ‘I’m not doing it’.”
Several weeks later, the
Brighton man said he saw on the news that several people, including
Wong, had been arrested. He googled a North Wales website and
found Wong had been “arrested, charged and detained”. The Brighton man
said he recognised Wong and another kidnap conspirator, Janet Stevenson
because Wong had recommended Mrs Stevenson as a counsellor for the Brighton man's wife, he said.
Wong had recommended Mrs Stevenson as a counsellor for the Brighton man's wife, he said.
Clearly Wong here was the ring-leader in this serious
crime. He attempted to recruit gullible and vulnerable people whom
he had control over through them coming to him for his supposed
expertise on Satanic Ritual Abuse. They were drawn to him through his
dramatic and shocking video streams which other Christians had mirrored
and supported. Obviously the implication would be that
assistance from Janet Stevenson and Wong might be terminated if they
didn't do what Wong asked. That is a kind of blackmail but the
Brighton man stuck to his guns even though his wife had suffered such a
'transferrance' that she wrote to support Wilfred Wong and prayed for
him afterwards!
After The Brighton couple had declined, Wong organised the second
plot which included new conspirators who were all eventually caught by
the police.
Wong's Wicked Attacks on Stella Creasy MP
Wong is a rabid anti-abortion activist who runs the infamous CBR.
What did not come out at the trial, is that Wong is a leading member of
the fundie anti-abortion lobby. He helps run the CBR organisation (Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform) a
well-funded and well connected evangelical group which in 2019 viciously attacked
MP Stella Creasy for her support for women's abortion rights under the
hashtag '#StopStella' .
Their terror tactics on line were bad enough but
also involved putting up a disgustingly graphic abortion poster outside
her constituency office and protesting there. The CBR has taken other
strong-arm action typical of these fanatics in the past, which are
outlined in this ByLine Times article here:

You will note that ByLine Times makes it clear that the myth of Satanic
Ritual Abuse has been tagged onto the anti-abortion activists agenda
because, though utterly false, it carries the emotional charge and
shock-value which turns a direct debate about women's rights into a
crusade against Evil, easily inflaming law-abiding people to take
the law into their own hands. We remind readers of the
murder of Dr Gunn, an obstetrician, in the U.S, who was shot dead from behind outside
his clinic by an anti-abortion activist.

Fundamentalist Abduction Gangs
Now most onlookers will
think that the abduction of a child is a shocking and uncommon
crime but SAFF research shows that fundamentalist Christians have a long
track-record of 'escaping children' from custodial parents after the
other parent makes false allegations about abuse. The
following is perhaps the most recent case here:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14721038/qanon-kidnapping-own-children-paedophiles/
where three U.S. fundie Satan-Hunters who believe in very much the same
world-view as Wong and his gang, travelled to France to abduct
children whom they wrongly believed were to be victims of blood-drinking
Satanic Rituals.
Although Wong's child abduction gang is thought to be the first in the
UK, the incidences of child-abduction on behalf of parents making
false abuse allegations against custodial spouses in the U.S. have
achieved almost epidemic proportions.
This report below shows over 5,000 children were abducted by 'gangs of more than four people' working collectively.
Flying Squads of Christian fundamentalist do-gooders feel they have a right to
interfere to 'free' children from suspected Satanic Ritual Abuse groups
but in every single case these suspicions have turned out to be
invented by one parent to damage the custodial situation of the
other.
Fundamentalist agitators who have formed a campaign to support Wilfred
Wong's illegal actions were actually rallying their troops and
networking on social media to encourage the establishment of abduction
flying squads as a defiant response to the courts' treatment of their
hero Wong whilst he was awaiting trial . One of them, Janette Archer actually called for a Revolution to take down the government itself. Their actions show
clearly that they are willing to ignore laws and martyr themselves for this imagined
problem and don't care what the courts say.
Every sensible and informed person knows that these fundamentalists
have been trying to sell the public the lie of Satanic Ritual Child
Abuse since the Satanic Panic of the 1990s which, ironically, Wong
played a key part in, and have not been able to produce even one
case to prove it exists in three decades of
trying.
The Child-X case was similarly a false allegation. They
are ALL false allegations because despite fundies scouring the world
for cases for three decades there has not been one instance proven
through the courts. It is a figment of the minds of religious fanatics like Wong.
In other words these people put Holy Writ before the law of the
land and will not desist from interfering in the family courts and despite the Wong Kidnap are
almost guaranteed to undertake more abductions in the near future.
We sadly, expect there now to be a rash of similar abductions backed by
false SRA allegations as a new crime fad which will soon beset this
country. This is in fact the new initiative in the fundie war
against womens' abortion rights.
You have been warned.
Ends.

The Child Abductors who believed they were saving a boy from Satan
A shocking case in Wales shows that. 40 years after the first scare stories, 'satanic panic' never went away , says Rosie Waterhouse
It must have been the most bizarre trial judge Nicola Jones has ever
presided over. Last Thursday at Caernarfon Crown court in North Wales ,
she jailed six people for conspiracy to kidnap a child, at knife point
in broad daylight, who apparently believed they were "rescuing him from a
Satanic cult" on the Isle of Anglesey.
One of the kidnappers was a north London lawyer, another a Christian
charity counsellor. The kidnappers were arrested last November after
they abducted an eight-year-old boy from his foster mother who had just
collected him after school. The court heard that Anke Hill 51, grabbed
the child, while Wilfred Wong. 56, a non-practising barrister, held a
knife to the face of his foster mother until, "screaming and
hysterical”. she let the boy go. The kidnappers drove off with the
terrified youngster as two other women acted as lookouts on the bridges
linking Anglesey to the mainland.
The kidnappers were intercepted four and a half hours later by police in
armed response units on the M1 in Northamptonshire more than 150 miles
away.
The court heard that the gang believed that the boy was being subjected
to so-called Satanic Ritual Abuse by a cult that supposedly included the
child‘s father. Police established that no such cult exists.
The trial was held in secrecy and its details are protected, but what we
do know is that in late 2019, Wong was contacted by Hill. She lived on
Anglesey and claimed that a child in foster care was the victim of
Satanic Abuse. Police investigations found no evidence of this but Hill
continued to pursue the allegation; she and Wong spent hours on the
phone to each other, billing records showed. Wong put her in touch with
Janet Stevenson, 67, a counsellor who specialises in working with
victims of “satanic abuse”.
The three cooked up an elaborate plan with five other suspects (one was
found not guilty; another, Robert Frith, 65 was discovered dead in his
prison cell not long after his arrest). It involved code-names and a
clandestine rendezvous. They decided to kidnap the boy on his way
home from school. After the child was wrestled out of his car seat, Wong
slashed one of the car's tyres to stop his carer from following them.
The judge pulled no punches. Addressing Wong she said: “You purport to
be an expert on Satanic ritual abuse. You have interviewed vulnerable
victims yet have no training or qualifications in this
respect.” In her sentencing remarks she added: “Your actions
have caused unspeakable misery and harm to [name of child redacted],
his father and the foster family...[Name of child redacted] may never
psychologically recover from the harm caused”. The boy is
due to be reunited with his father.
The case is the latest example of the resurgence of a phenomenon that
has become known as “satanic panic” - a baseless belief that children
are being abused for satanic rituals. It first emerged in the 1980s and
led to allegations of abuse around the world. Now, in a climate of
heightened paranoia and conspiracy, it is back with a bang.
The first known reference was in the publication in Canada in 1980 of a
supposed true memoir entitled Michelle
Remembers. The Authors, Michelle Smith and
Lawrence Pazder (her therapist, whom she later married), relate how
after a miscarriage and 200 hours of therapy, she remembered appalling
child-hood abuse by a murderous, satanic cult. Published in the UK in
1981 the book became an international best-seller, but has since been
convincingly debunked.
Nevertheless, the idea of satanic ritual abuse spread, notably among
fundamentalist Christian campaigners, anti-occult police, social workers
and childcare professionals. It reached the UK in the late 1980s
and was spread mainly in evangelical Christian circles and among police
and social workers. A case of multi generational incest in Nottingham in
1989 [SAFF edit: full background to the Broxtowe case here:
http://saff.nfshost.com/broxtowe.htm ] leant credibility, as
social workers became convinced there was a satanic element to the
abuse. The police disagreed.
In
March 1990 the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children used a press conference for its annual report to proclaim the
existence of a new and terrifying form of child abuse: satanic ritual
abuse, or SRA as it became known. Reporters were briefed that
children were being subjected to unspeakable acts -forced to drink blood
and eat faeces, raped, tortured and murdered and that babies were being
bred for sacrifice by Devil-worshipping paedophiles.
I have been reporting on satanic panic for 30 years and have
investigated the origins and spread of these lurid claims, interviewing
detectives across the UK. They could find no convincing forensic
evidence of the existence of SRA – no bodies, no bones, no bloodstains.
But suddenly, after the NSPCC revelation, there emerged high-profile
claims of satanic abuse, notably in Rochdale and the Orkneys, and
accounts of children being snatched from their homes in dawn raids by
police and social workers. All ended with no evidence and no
convictions – just damning reports on the actions of over-zealous
social workers, convinced that they should be on the lookout for satanic
abuse. Only after a UK government-commissioned inquiry published
in 1994 concluded that, in the absence of any physical, forensic or
corroborating evidence, SRA was a myth, did the panic die down.
But it has never quite gone away. In 1995 two workers at a council-run
nursery in Shieldfield, Newcastle upon Tyne, were falsely accused of
sexually abusing children in their care during bizarre rituals. [SAFF Edit: full background to the Shieldfield scandal: http://saff.nfshost.com/shieldfl.htm ]
Another example on the island of Lewis in 2004 involved eight people,
including a 75 year old grandmother, who were accused of abusing
children as members of a secret satanic cult. The case was thrown
out on the lack of evidence.
More recently SRA was lurking in the wings of the investigation
into the so-called Westminter paedophile ring, which the
Metropolitan Police halted for lack of evidence. It was also there
in the allegations of sexual assault made against the late prime
minister Edward Heath. Among the claimants were three women who said
they had been abused by people in a satanic cult. [SAFF Edit: full background here: http://saff.nfshost.com/panoramavip.htm ]
Behind the scenes, a core group of committed believers have been fanning
the flames. These people, who often work in psychology and
psychotherapy, network through conferences, such as annual events held
by the international Society for the Study of Trauma and
Dissociation. Simultaneously , there has been a growth in
the 'adult survivor' movement: people who claim to have recovered
memories of historical childhood sexual abuse. [SAFF Edit: history of the Dissociation therapy network here: http://saff.nfshost.com/DIDpsychiatricvoodoo.htm ]
In the UK one of the most persistent proponents of a belief in the
existence of SRA is a group formed in 1989; RAINS (Ritual Abuse
Information Network and Support). Its influence has spread through
social media. One supporter was sentenced in Wales last week –
Wong. [SAFF Edit: See RAINS' fictitious 'Helen-G List' which caused the entire VIP false abuse allegations. http://saff.nfshost.com/colemanrains.htm ]
New moral outrages have arisen alongside satanic panic. QAnon – a
conspiracy theory that believes that a shadowy cabal kidnaps and
tortures children using their blood in satanic rituals – has eerie
similarities. Proponents of a belief in the existence of SRA have
built cult-like followings and against this backdrop, Wong's
profile has grown. He and his gang are presented as child-saving
heroes. In the UK and America, extremists are raising funds to set
up “safe houses” where children “rescued” from satanic cults can be
housed.
The commitment of this gang to the belief in the idea of satanic abuse
is so strong that the judge was forced to consider it in her sentencing.
She concluded that Hill and Wong were the ring-leaders. Hill was
sentenced to an extended sentence of 19 years and five months; Wong was
sentenced to a total of 22 years.
Stevenson, the counsellor, was jailed for 15 years. The judge told
her that she still had “entrenched views on the victims of satanic
ritual abuse” and like Hill and Wong, there was a danger she would re
offend because of this belief. Their conviction of a
conspiratorial world of satanic abuse appears to be more widely held
than anyone would care to imagine.
Ends.

Violent Christian Crusaders on the March
The rise of militant Christian Crusaders from the religious right is
now considered a growing threat by the UK
anti-terrorist police.
Up to now, the SRA conspiracyloons have occupied themselves with
campaigning to convince the public about the dangers of non-Christian
beliefs but their narrative is becoming increasingly strident as, time
after time, their serious accusations of child murder and sexual
perversion prove to be a cover for their sectarian
resistance to abortion, homosexual rights, censorship of media and
entertainment, and, quite frankly, racist approach to Islam.
Now however, there has developed an overlap where ex military
personnel who have 'got religion' are networking to produce vigilante
groups like The Grey Men, and Halo, who provide security teams for
radical Christian preachers and protests.
The SAFF saw this happening as far back as 2011 when we highlighted
the background of Anders Breivik the mass-killer of Utoya Island
here: http://saff.nfshost.com/norway.htm .
Breivik had been afffected by the West's 'abandonment' of the Bosnian
people during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War which involved mass cleansing of
Moslems which European forces stopped. Breivik hoped his killing
of 70 young left-wing politicians on Utoya Island in Norway would mark
the start of a holy Christian Crusade to rid the West of Moslems and
reimpose biblical authority.
Despite the SAFF pointing all this out in detail the security
forces have spent their time instead pursuing a handful of
'Satanic Terrorists' which are small beer compared with what is to come.
See http://saff.nfshost.com.danyalhussein.htm.
James Zikic, an ex Bosnian soldier with
the Christian crusader mentality which spawned Anders Breivik,
attended as Jeanette Archer's body-guard on several recent
Anti-Satanic
marches. During which Archer ranted on about starting a war
on Satanists and used a megaphone outside Number 10 Downing Street to
accuse Boris Johnson and his entire cabinet of being Satanists who drink
the blood of children. On one of these protest marches Zikic wore what
looked like a stab-vest under
his t-shirt. As this call to arms gains credence amongst the
fundamentalist extremists Archer has increased her rhetoric to include
demands for a Revolution which takes down the British government
(transcript below).
N.B. Double click the image to make it readable.
Here nr;peyou can see a video of Janet Archer,a close friend and aide of
Wilfred Wong and organiser of support for him whilst in prison,
talking tough about starting a war against 'satanists'; saying she will
sacrifice her life and stating that Covid inoculation of schoolchildren
is a Satanic Plan. Click on the image to view the 2 minute clip:
SAFF have been told that Zikic has been present as a bodyguard on Hatun
Tash's meetings at Speaker's Corner where on 26th July she was
attacked and stabbed with a knife.
The main news channels and authorities have
made light of this saying that the forehead and arm wounds were superficial and
non-life threatening, but had the knife been an inch lower it would
have gone through her eye into her brain and she might be dead.
The intent must have been to kill.
It is a serious escalation.
Tash is a born-again Turkish Moslem convert to Christianity and
directly challenges the 'counterfeit' nature of Islam in front of
Moslems. You can
see a full unexpurgated account on bitchute here:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/YOlaVIYArrnh/
Hatun Tash has a long
record of directly and publicly challenging Moslems. Tommy
Robinson attended to support her at one meeting at Speaker's corner last year and he
has links with the Christian Right in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, which is
historically a hot-bed of Christian vs Muslim friction. If Tash
had died then reprisals would have surely occurred.
The SAFF have for decades maintained that the Satanic Child Abuse myth
has always been part of a fundie campaign against abortion. The
fundies assert that Satanists impregnate pubescent children in perverted
ceremonies and use them as 'breeders' to produce babies which are then
aborted and sacrificed so their blood can be drunk to endow Satanists
with 'power'. A pseudo-scientific elaboration of this are
claims of Adrenochrome, a supposed content of sacrificed children's
blood. Jeanette Archer and many of her followers actually believe
that adrenochrome exists.
It
is all utter medieaval claptrap and no case of it has been found in the 32
years they have been pushing the idea. They are simply abominating all
forms of abortion and stigmatising doctors who perform abortions as evil
satanists so they can deplore them as inhuman demons and justify
killing them as they did with Dr Gunn.
The complex QAnon-Pizzagate-New-World-Order beliefs to which most of
this new generation of fundie activists belong is a development of the
anti-semitic Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG) meme of the 1980s which itself was a
development of the Jewish blood libel used to persecute Jews since the
15th century and revivified in the 1930s to power the Nazi Final
Solution.
The idea that Jews sacrificed Christian children
and drank their Blood in their rites was then commonplace. Swap Jew with Satanist and
you have the source of all the nonsense which has occupied sick minds
over the past three decades.
The SAFF have probed the history of
this terrible false accusation which has unnecessarily ended the lives
of millions over the years, in our expose of the New World Order myth
here: http://saff.nfshost.com/nwo.htm
Norman Cohen has established that at times of high social stress
those negative energies in a population create mechanisms to release it
and almost universally it is the 'witch-hunt' which is used.
The
European witch-hunts of the 12c and afterwards were created by the Black
Death which decimated 50% of the population of Europe and brought Europe's
economies to its knees. Naturally, the Church, being in total control of
the lives of people at that time, blamed it on Devils and Witches and
so the ignorant masses killed innocent old biddies in a futile attempt to assuage an
unstoppable disease.
It is therefore not ironic that the societal stress created by
Covid-19 has pushed people into irrational points of view and belief in
conspiracies which don't exist. This was a double-whammy
which collided with the ability of the masses to access hitherto unknown
information about the way they were being controlled by Elites through
old communication methods of print and broadcast media.
They saw that reality was being dolled out to them in what
was basically propaganda to keep the Elite's power-base going. As
reality dawned the Brexit phenomenon provided the nearest thing to a
revolution Britain has seen since Cromwell and conspiracy theories
(many of which had a basis in fact) changed the Concensus
landscape. In the cracks which occurred those religious
fanatics saw 'evidence of the Tribulations', the last-battle with Satan
which would herald the end of the world and whilst searching around to
find examples of it their minds fixed upon the idea of the Satanic Ritual Abuse Myth.
The Christian masses have been particularly badly hit during the pandemic and the unrest that the
imposition of Covid inoculations on all U.S. armed forces and
government staff has caused in the U.S. The vast majority of
forces personnel are right-wing Christians, precisely the ones making
up that section of the populace which refuse to be inoculated.
The fundie response to forced inoculation was to highlight the fact that all
current Covid vaccines have been developed using the cell line
HEK293 which was originally obtained from an aborted foetus and
therefore it would be a Cardinal Sin to accept it, for it would
damn one's soul.
To them this is more evidence of the Satanic conspiracy.
Strong Legal defences are being mounted based
on constitutional religious rights and a viral campaign has
crossed the net providing ready-made forms for Christian soldiers
and others
to fill in. This could be a fault-line not just across
America
but the rest of the world as well as modified forms/documents are presented
to employers who insist on jabs in the UK.
To the
average fundie mind-set this is just more proof of the Tribulations
arriving soon; the idea that the End of the World is near. A
belief guaranteed to push people into irrational violent acts and demands
- as Janette Archer's outbursts typify.
The link twixt
Covid and Abortion is now concrete in the minds of evangelistic
Christians. To them it is Satanic Ritual Abuse manifested and
proof of the immanence of the End Times. History is falling into
the hands of agitators like Hatun Tash and Wilfred Wong and the
loud-mouth outpourings from the likes of Wedger and Archer is
being superceded by a real threat of violent Christian Terrorism.
