Special note for survivors with memories of childhood ritual abuse:

Many tens of thousands of North Americans have recovered memories of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) during therapy sessions or through self-hypnosis -- mainly during the 1980s and early 1990s. Subsequent investigations have shown that the vast majoirty of such memories were iatrogenic in nature. That is, they were created during therapy and unrelated to real events. But, we are trying to locate a person with SRA memories that have always been present since the abuse occurred. If you are one, please send us an Email. We will keep your information in strictest confidence. (We have had this message in place for over 25 years (since 1995-AUG, during the early years of the Internet) with only one response to date.)

About The Violence Project:

Their webmasters have prepared the "Most Comprehensive Mass Shooter Database" for the United States at: https://www.theviolenceproject.org/

It includes data on "69 mass shootings, 172 mass shooters, over 50 years of data, and nearly 200 variables." The vast majority of states have had one or more mass shootings. Exceptions are New Mexico, and two groups of contiguous or nearly contiguous states:

• Vermont and Maine in New England.
• Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, in the mid-West.
