5.0 out of 5 stars Book Review: Cover Up Of The Century, December 18, 2000

By

This review is from: Cover-Up of the Century: Satanic Ritual Crime and World Conspiracy (Paperback)

Every once in a great while, a book comes out that is a standout in its field. One that is well written, that teaches, educates, and leaves the reader thinking for days afterwards about its subject. One that challenges the reader to overcome biases and misconceptions. And recently, such a book was published.

The book? "Cover up of the Century: Satanic Ritual Crime and World Conspiracy" by Daniel Ryder. If you don't have a copy yet, I suggest you go to your local bookstore, or Amazon.com online, and get one. This is one of the better researched and documented books on the topic of ritual abuse that I have seen.

Ryder has a background in investigative journalism, and it shows. Piece by piece, he discusses the evidence available that shows the reality of ritual abuse, and builds his case throughout the book. In fact, I would challenge anyone with an objective mind to read this book, and be able to deny the overwhelming evidence presented that: a) ritual abuse is real b) recovered memories are real, and are documented to be reliable c) there has been a large amount of cover-up of the evidence available in high profile cases such as the Franklin case in Omaha, Nebraska. d) There is firm evidence of mind control techniques, organization and planning in occult groups

Mr. Ryder meticulously documents the evidence with research and in-depth interviews throughout his book. From government officials to police investigators, survivors of occult ceremonies to concerned parents, psychologists to lawyers, his extensive research and fact finding combine in this book to draw a compelling picture: ritual abuse is real, it is happening, and it is organized. He refutes statements by Lanning of the FBI that ritual abuse has no evidence with literal archives of cases of ritual abuse that have gone to court and been successfully prosecuted. I love the first chapter which asks "Where's the Proof?" then proceeds to answer the question. Studies are quoted, officials discussed and documented cases of ritual crime are given.

Ryder's background research on some of the leading members of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) is a thought-provoking chapter, as the "syndrome" is exposed as having no reality according to clinical experts in the field. Also, the less than savory background of some of the founding members and "experts" recruited by the FMSF are revealed.

I believe this book should be recommended reading for anyone who thoughtfully asks the question "If ritual abuse is real, where is the evidence?" The evidence is there, the experts are speaking out, and court cases prove that RA is a real phenomenon. I am grateful that Mr. Ryder took the time to interview and research this topic, and share what he found with the general public.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent research and documents on SRA, November 25, 2001

By 

Michaelangelo (Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cover-Up of the Century: Satanic Ritual Crime and World Conspiracy (Paperback)

You would expect than a bold factbook on Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) like this has dozens of reviews by satanic apologetics. SRA is a proven fact, and Daniel Ryder did an excellent and outstanding job researching and documenting the facts. Definitely a must read for all interested in the hidden agenda of mental programmers behind the scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, interesting, and great research., April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cover-Up of the Century: Satanic Ritual Crime and World Conspiracy (Paperback)

This book is quite incredible. The author is very couragious to write the facts and not give it with sugar. The contents were enlightning and valuable in information reguarding satanic ritual abuse and exposing the lies and cover-ups by the cults, government and some who are in financial power. Pretty amazing. He's so up front with the information, some of it was difficult to read. One needs to digest it slowly, yet it's impossible to put it down.
