This was at the >height of the "Satanic Ritual Abuse" craze that swept the nation, >generating >tons of daytime TV talk show guests, lots of book sales and speaking >tours, but according to the FBI's special SRA task force, not a single >allegation that didn't turn out to be a hoax by some attention seeking >people. > >Despite the dismal reality of the Satanic Ritual Abuse issue, a popular >cause is a popular cause and Janet used it well. > >Following the McMartin case in Los Angeles, a Miami daycare center >operated by Frank and Ileana Fuster came under suspicion. That there >was >no actual evidence of any wrongdoing did not prove a major impediment to >Janet Reno. Ileana, a young Honduren woman, was seperated from her >husband. > >What followed is probably best described as outright brainwashing. >Indeed, >the two psychiatrists hired by Janet Reno operated under the trade name, >"Behavior Changers", and eventually sat with her in the court, coaching >her statements in front of the judge, while Janet Reno held her hand! >Among the other claims that Ileana made under such prodding was that her >husband had put snakes inside her genitals while the children watched. > >Real snakes. > >Frank was convicted and sent to jail. Janet, riding high on the >publicity >of the trial won her re-election. Ileana returned to Honduras and from >there >issued a 61 page statement describing her year of solitary confinement >and >coercion by "Behavior Changers". > >In 1989, Ren again used psychological manipulations to extort a >confession >from a 14 year old boy. Bobby Fijnje was accused of sadistically >assaulting >other children by the same group of people who had accused Frank and >Ileana >Fuster. Bobby was a diabetic, and Reno had him held in jail without >food, which >put him into insulin shock. When Bobby finally confessed, he was fed. >When >he came out of the insulin shock, he recanted. He was then starved again >triggering another insulin shock episode. While this was going on, >Janet >Reno refused to allow Bobby's parents to see him, claiming that they >were >Satanist Pornographers, and likely to try to prevent the boy from >confessing >his crime. Bobby spent an entire year in prison, isolated from his >parents, >then was acquitted. > >It is a shocking indictment that in the haste to confirm the first woman >Attorney General, neither of these two events were ever brought up >during >her confirmation hearings. > >It is shocking because no sooner had Janet Reno taken over the control >of the Department of Justice than she resorted to her old behavior >patterns. > >Seizing on unfounded rumors that the children in the Waco compound were >being abused, Reno ordered in the tanks and the gassing of those same >children with CS gas, a gas that's illegal to use on enemy troops. The >autopsy on the remains of the bodies showed no sign of smoke inhalation >in their lungs, proof that the intense concentrations of gas had been >the >cause of death. > >During the hearings into the largest Federal armed entry ever conducted >against as American home, Janet Reno again fell back on her old tactics, >producing a single witness named Kiri Jewell who poured forth with >unsubstantiated claims of Koresch as sexual deviate. Less than two weeks >following the hearings, it became publicly known that Jewell had not >been at >the Waco compound during the time she claimed the molestations took >place, but >had been with her father in California, the result of a successful ploy >by the father to use allegations of sexual abuse to gain custofy of Kiri >from >her Branch Davidian mother. > >Despite the discrediting of Kiri's testimony, her statements became the >mandatory screenplay for several movies about Waco, all designed to >demonize >Koresch and his followers and to justify the gassing of the compound. > >As David Kopel of the Denver Independence Institute noted, "Not since >the >Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890 had so many Americans been killed as a >result of a conflict with the Federal Government. And the initial >government response >indicated almost equivilent lack of remorse." > >In yet another example, Janet Reno is still pursuing the "LA 8" case, >the forced deportiation of 7 Palistinian men and 1 Palistinian woman, >even though former FBI Director William Seesions told the Congress that >the eight had "not been found to engage themselves in terrorist >activity". > >But as the case of Bobby Fijnje showed, innocence is simply not a factor >in Ms. Reno's decisions. Ms. Reno still persists in trying to deport the >8 Palistinians, despite a stern rebuff from the 9th Circut Court. > >Janet Reno and Bill Clinton share a lot in common. Janet backed Bill >Clinton in the Comprehensive Anti-Terrorist Act and in refusing to >alter the penelty imbalance between crack cocaine and powder cocaine, >a disparity that tends to imprison blacks far longer than whites for the >same amount of the drug. > >Perhaps the most telling sign of Janet Reno's value system can be found >in the words on a plaque in her office at the Department Of Justice. > >"All furniture in this office was built by Federal Prison inmates." > <snip> ======================================================================== Paul Andrew Mitchell : Counselor at Law, federal witness B.A., Political Science, UCLA; M.S., Public Administration, U.C.
