Ah, Thorwald, I am not sure I was the intended audience of your comment but I will tell you my reaction.
BTW, of your suggested reasons for lack of response, I think what carries the day is that it's far, but FAR too obvious. Everybody who was there saw/knew/read/heard and/or did, and it only takes evidence to tip them away from the cult's appealing lie that it was not so bad, not so perverted, the victims exaggerate.
This is evidence of the reasons why I gave whatever sanity I may have had left when I ran away from the cult as a minor to expose this crime in the face of vicious maligning by so-called parents, by shameless non-parents who were my vicious abusers and even by (understandably frightened) siblings. Combine this with the gulag of the DTR/Victors regime, and that is what drove much of my beating a soon bloodied fist against deaf, dumb, blind brick walls.
Evidence is here now. Not a minute too soon. There have been many other telling pieces of evidence, and now there is this one.
Truth was not in time for some of the departed, some of whom also tried to tell. Truth was not in time to avoid the mangling of some of us who remain. Apparently our truth (e.g., the British court case) was easy enough to rationalize away.
But I have become very used to help coming too late to save me. I have been too long steeped in the radioactive pain and grief. All that is left for me is to observe while I am still around. I have also learned that I am angry, though that is an inadequate term.
I'll tell you what does not surprise me: the lack of reaction, and the reactions that chalk it up to glasses too rosy (may my glasses ever be tinted with tar that I never reach that perverted oblivion). Though the "rosy-glasses" alibi seems to reflect how this particular holocaust of children was perpetrated: by predatory devourers practised in the sickest gloss of benevolence. I had not remembered that they taught Fiona as well as they taught Seek & Secundus.
Thank you for the work you do, preserving history. Keep bearing witness. Those who do not remember their past are doomed to repeat it. Those who remember accurately may be doomed period, but that is another story...
