From Satanic Panic to Pizzagate and QAnon

 


Investigative journalist Dr Rosie Waterhouse has been researching and writing about what has become known as the Satanic Panic for 34 years. Tonight she explains how believers in Satanic Ritual Abuse claim that depraved Satanist paedophiles breed, rape and sacrifice babies and children, and drink their blood for Adrenochrome, a mythical elixir of life. She describes the origins and spread of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 1990s from Canada and the USA to the UK and beyond. She explains how since 2016 it has morphed into Pizzagate and then QAnon, as a global conspiracy theory, amplified by social media, that the world is run by an international network of paedophile Satanists, and that Donald Trump is the saviour. Will this bizarre conspiracy theory have any influence in the US presidential election just a week after this talk?

Time-Slips

  Time-Slips 26 November 2024 In the early years of the 20th century, two ladies visited the gardens of Versailles. Whilst there, they apparently slipped back in time to the late 18th century. They published a book describing their experience, which in later years was debunked as misperception and hallucination. Case closed. Or is it? There are a plethora of similar contemporary reports of apparent slips through time, from brief glimpses to full interactive experiences. Most reports describe features from the past, but a few describe possible slips forward in time. Dr Ann Winspe r has been researching people apparently travelling through time for the last 20 years. She describes some of these fascinating cases and looks at possible explanations, as well as how not all can be explained through misperception and psychology.
