If you haven’t seen the new big thing on the Jewish blogs, the trials and tribulations of Vickipeeki, you ain’t seen funny yet.
Modeled after the life of a Baltimore ex-member of a baby eating cult, this comic strip is to the Jewish Recovered Memory gang what Joseph N. Welch was to Senator Joe McCarthy (“Have you no sense of decency sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”). If you’ve been following the saga of Vicki Polin and her devouring of unsuspecting rabbis, you’ll enjoy this strip, published fairly frequently by Salome Worch (wife of one of Vicki’s victims). If you were not in for the ride, the website provides a short history and the video of Vicki’s Oprah appearance (which earned her the nickname Dingo on this blog).
Enjoy the ride. Our favorite is the Satanic Seder.
I don't do Vicki Polin material any more, but I was sent this clip and had to share it with you. You decide whether or not to share it with the world. It's an obvious edit, which I'm not crazy about. The anonymous editor collected most of the snippets with Vicki in them, from a 1989 show that featured a long row of memory recovery types.
Missing from the clip is the psychologist, who appears in the transcript. I would have liked to see that. Also missing is the part where Oprah tells the folks at home that not all Jews eat their children, only the bad ones.
Here's the link. Enjoy. Below I've reprinted the transcript. The file is 7.5mb, and it's not being served up. It's slow, but not terribly so.
OPRAH: As a child, my next guest was used also in worshipping the devil, participated in human sacrifice rituals and cannibalism. She says her family has been involved in rituals for generations. She is currently in extensive therapy, suffers from multiple personality disorder, meaning she's blocked out many of the terrifying and painful memories of her childhood. Meet "Rachel," who is also in disguise to protect her identity. You come from generations of ritualistic abuse?
"RACHEL", Was Used In Satan Worship Rituals: Yes, my family has an extensive family tree, and they keep track of who's been involved and who hasn't been involved, and it’s gone back to like 1700.
OPRAH: And so you were ritually abused.
"RACHEL": Right. I was born into a family that believes in this.
OPRAH: Does everyone else think it's a nice Jewish family? From the outside, you appear to be a nice Jewish girl?
"RACHEL": Definitely.
OPRAH: And you all are worshipping the devil inside the home?
"RACHEL": Right. There's other Jewish families across the country. It's not just my own family.
OPRAH: Really? And so who knows about it? Lots of people now.
"RACHEL": Well, I talked to a police detective in the Chicago area, and several of my friends know, and I've spoke publicly before, and…
OPRAH: So when you were brought up in this kind of evilness, did you just think it was normal?
"RACHEL': I blocked out a lot of the memories I had because of my multiple personality disorder, but, yes. I mean, it's like if you grow up with something, you think it’s normal. I always thought something…
OPRAH: So what kinds of things? You don't have to give us the gory details, but what kinds of things went on in the family?
"RACHEL": Well, there would be rituals in which babies would be sacrificed, and you would have to, you know…
OPRAH: Whose babies?
"RACHEL": There were people who bred babies in our family. No one would know about it. A lot of people were overweight, so you couldn't tell if they were pregnant or not, or they would supposedly go away for awhile and then come back…
"RACHEL": The other thing I want to point out not all Jewish people sacrifice babies. I mean, it's not a very typical thing.
OPRAH: I think we kind of know that.
"RACHEL": I just want to point that out.
OPRAH: This is the first time I heard of any Jewish people sacrificing babies, but anyway--so you witnessed the sacrifice.
"RACHEL": Right. When I was very young, I was forced to participate in that-- in which I had to sacrifice an infant.
OPRAH: And the purpose of sacrifice is to what? Is to bring you what? What are you sacrificing for?
"RACHEL": For power...
OPRAH: Power. And so were you ever used? Were you ever used yourself?
"RACHEL": I was molested. I was raped several times.
OPRAH: What's your mother doing in all of this? What's her role in all of this?
"RACHEL": What is-- I'm not exactly- -what her role is-- I haven't, you know, recovered all of my memories, but her family was extremely involved. You know, she brought me to it. Both of my parents brought me to it.
OPRAH: And where is she now?
"RACHEL": She lives in the Chicago metropolitan area. She's on the human relations commission of the town that she lives in, and she's an upstanding citizen. Nobody would suspect her. Nobody would suspect anybody involved in it. There's police officers involved in it. There's, you know, doctors, lawyers, Indiana chiefs involved in it.
OPRAH: Are you kidding?
"RACHEL": I mean, it's not the person, you know, who looks scummy that's involved in it. It's someone who looks normal.…
OPRAH: Were you raised with a sense of right and wrong, “Rachel?”
“RACHEL: Yes. I mean, it’s like we, I had both. I mean, to the outside world, everything we did was proper and right, and then there were the nights that things changed, that things just got turned around. What was wrong was right, and what was right was wrong. That’s what helps to create some of theto develop MPD.
OPRAH: Multiple personality disorder.
“RACHEL”: Right, right.
OPRAH: I know a lot of people are shaking their heads here, and I'm sure that when you go back home, I mean, everyone's going to try to make you look like you're crazy.
"RACHEL": Oh, definitely.
OPRAH: Absolutely.
"RACHEL": They do that all the time.
OPRAH: It's very difficult to believe, so how is it that you come to believe these people, Tina?
Ms. GROSSMAN: Well, I've treated over 40 survivors of ritual abuse. Adult patients with multiple personality disorder, and from many states in this country as well as Canada. What we've seen and heard and gone through in the abreactions which is the remembered experiences of that- we are hearing the identical same things from these adults. Okay. These are not children that are three years old, and you can, as an adult, perhaps rationalize that this is fantasy material. These adults are saying things. They have never met each other before. They are describing identical rituals, just the same as, since I'm Jewish, you could go to New York or California and describe a seder in one state or another and, as a Jew, you would recognize it. This is the belief system in evil and the power that evil gives you, and so it has these certain rituals, so they are very similar with all of the survivors.
OPRAH: See, but I am very surprised because the Jewish faith is the Jewish faith. and worshipping the devil is not a part of the Jewish faith. I mean, Jewish people do not worship the devil.
Ms. GROSSMAN: But before there was Christ and before there was a system of one God, there was Paganism- and it still exists in the world, and in many cultures, you still find the belief that there is strength and power in the actual consumption of human flesh or animals' flesh.
OPRAH: Now in your family. did you all call it worshipping the devil, "Rachel?”
"RACHEL": No.
OPRAH: Or did you…
"RACHEL": I don't know.
OPRAH: It was just evil. these things you did.
"RACHEL": It was-- right.
OPRAH: Right.
"RACHEL": Well, I said it was evil, and they said it was good. There's a book that I had just come across called [Lilith's Cave: Jewish Tales of the Supernatural by Howard Schwartz, New York, Oxford University Press, 1988] which is a book of Jewish mysticism and supernatural, and there's a lot in that book that relates to what I endured when I was a child.
OPRAH: I want to stop right here, though. because you know how people build prejudices. I want to make it very clear this is one Jewish person, so don't go around now saying to people, you know, "Those Jewish people, they're worshipping--'. This is just one person. Okay.
"RACHEL": Most Jewish people do not do what my family did.
OPRAH: Okay. Thank you very much.
"RACHEL": I mean, I don't know very many other Jewish people who would do what I did.
OPRAH: But you know how people hear one thing, and then go off and they say, "I heard on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' today that…”
The article below was written following a conversation between myself and the author, in which I expressed impatience at the rate at which the Hezbollah’s rule was being reversed in Lebanon by the Israeli military. I think what pissed him off most was my question regarding the possible diminishing fighting ability of the IDF. So, if you feel insulted by the text below, relax, it’s all my fault… But, to be more properly sober, I think there’s a lot of truth in Tokatly’s assertion. YY
It seems that Western Civilisation has lost its will to live. Faced with mortal threats, many Europeans and Americans are voicing ideas that support the cause of their enemies. Why do they do that? Do they really fail to understand the danger that hovers over their heads?
So it seems.
It is hard to believe that so many opinion-makers - in academic circles, political institutions and the mass media - have become enemy agents, who intend to destroy the free societies that offer them the comforts and opportunities upon which their lives are based. It is even less plausible to assume that so many people have turned into suicidal individuals. It seems rather clear that these influential persons have developed some kind of psychology that offers them an illusion of safety and immunity. Somehow, the dangers don't look real to them. As Sir Winston Churchill said: "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."
I would like to suggest that this mentality is essentially infantile. It has developed among prosperous and successful circles because their way of life has become more and more detached from the basics of human survival. They live in comfortable homes, drive smooth cars, work in air-conditioned offices, libraries and lecture halls, eat healthy foods and wear neat clothes. In short, they are spoiled and just like spoiled children, these grownups develop unrealistic expectations from reality. Here are a few examples:
Many Westerners tend to criticise the anti-terror policies of certain governments, such as the UK, USA and Israel. They point at the difficulties that law-abiding countries face in their struggle against criminal groups. Since Western leaders refuse to adopt the same terror strategies of the enemy, the battles tend to be long and indecisive. At this point, the Western Infantile reaction is divided into two opposing stands. Many would-be Liberals say:
What's The Point In Fighting Terrorism?
They express impatience and even despair. Sometimes, they even express glee at their own countries' failures, which "prove," according to them, that "there is no military solution to terror." The key word is "solution.” Just like spoiled children, they want to get immediate satisfaction and if they can't get what they want right now, they throw a tantrum and scream insults at the adult who disappoints them. However, any adult should know that sometimes it is not possible to supply the child with an immediate "solution.” Some problems in life require a longer process, much patience and acceptance of incomplete results. For example, one could say that law enforcement is a complete failure because the police keeps chasing the criminals and thus far, has failed in "solving" the problem, since there are still thieves, robbers, rapists and murderers in our cities. So should we abolish the police force, the courts and the entire legal system that failed so shamefully?
The opposite reaction goes:
Butcher The Bastards!
Essentially, the call for a more aggressive strategy against terror is the other side of the very same coin. The spoiled Western citizen demands from his leadership an immediate "solution,” even at the cost of losing the value system that ensures the rule of law and civil liberties. The would-be patriots delude themselves that an unrestrained military action can scare the terrorists "once and for all.” They cannot accept a reality in which chronic, malignant problems require long processes of healing.
Both sides share the same impatience and lack of moral strength to endure a period of ongoing pain and loss.
The enemy shows more strength and resilience, simply because they are less spoiled and more realistic in identifying the weaknesses of their foes. This is bad news for the West. Terrorism is a strategy of mental warfare. Terrorists cannot conquer territory through armed struggle. They can only break the spirit of their enemies and bring them down to their knees. Both infantile, hysterical reactions described above play into the terrorists' hands. The internal rift between the West's so-called "left" and "right" is a primary achievement for the terror organisations.
The Western immaturity goes even further. The pseudo-Liberals get carried away with their oppositional mentality and start questioning their own country's value system. They say:
It's All Our Own Fault!
They blame the West for all its troubles and thus, they justify the crimes perpetrated by the "oppressed" terrorists. It stems from a deep need to be loved, just like a spoiled child that demands constant attention and praise. The opposite reaction is of course:
It's All The Fault Of Islam!
This line, held by many right-wing Westerners, is rooted in the same infantile mentality. Just like a disappointed, spoiled child, they react with senseless rage against "everyone,” or at least against anyone who doesn't like them.
Both sides produce elaborate articles to prove their points. An average Westerner has the choice of putting all the blame either on Capitalist Imperialism or on Barbaric Islam.
However, any slightly less immature individual would have to admit that life is not always so simple. There are certain situations where both conflicting sides have some legitimate claims, as well as many errors and faults. The real "solution" to such situations is never one-sided.
If the West wishes to survive, it must sort out its own mental confusion. It should fight terrorism without hesitations, simply based on the universal principle of self-defence. At the same time, Western leaders should look into their own arrogance and moral faults and improve their own conduct. At the moment, the West is doing the exact opposite: It rewards aggressors and continues to neglect its own morality and noble values.
Perhaps the time has come for all of us to pray for the eyes of the blind to be opened and the spoiled children to grow up!
If the governments of Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority are unwilling to disarm the Iranian controlled terror organization that operate in their territories, or if they are incapable of doing so, then they are not worthy of international recognition as legitimate regimes. UN Security Council resolutions and International treaties define crimes against humanity as the "participation in and knowledge of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population, and the multiple commission of [such] acts ... against any civilian population" These international binding instruments go on to impose uniform mandatory counter-terrorist obligations on all states to "bring to justice the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of terrorist attacks and stresses that those responsible foraiding, supporting or harboringthe perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these acts will be held accountable." The ongoing terrorist aggression carried out by the Islamist criminals of Hezbollahand Hamas against uninvolved civilians within Israel's internationally recognized boundaries constitute a policy of premeditated crimes against humanity and the rulers of Lebanonand the PA are guilty of harboring and supporting these offenders.
Therefore, the international community, including the UN, USA, EU, G8 and NATO, must send a task force to liberate the people of Lebanon and the Gaza Strip from the terrorist occupation and the puppet governments that harbor them. They should enforce law and order until both these societies prove in actions that they are ready to operate within the parameters ofInternational Law.
The entire world knows full well that Israelwill keep the peace and respect her neighbors, as soon as the terrorists stoptheir criminal attacks.
While looking around the web, minding my own business, I ran into this copy of a letter, supposedly sent by Vicki Polin a.k.a. Rachel, to the ADL, which was trying, at the time, to put out the fire she started on the Oprah show.
As we’re in the course of studying in depth this sociopath’s style and modus operandi, it’s fascinating to see the Vicki Polin personality we all know and dread emerging here. Also, note the typical VP misspellings, as well as erratic style-jumps from academic to fourth-grade sentence structure. For VP experts, this find is a delight. I bolded the misspellings and grammatical oopses for your reading pleasure.
I transcribed as hard as I could, check out the jpeg for the original.

To whom it may concern,
In my eyes and the eyes of other Jewish Survivors of Ritual Abuse, you attempted to discredit us the same way the Revisionism Movement trys to discredit the fact that the Holocaust ever occurred.
I feel you owe each and every Jewish Survivor of Ritual Abuse an apology. I believe the Jewish Community needs to take it’s head out of the sand and open it’s eyes!!! Incest, Child sexual, and Ritual Abuse happens in Jewish Families. Jews are not exempt from perpetrating these crimes.
I understand that you felt that Oprah Winfrey was being Anti-Semitic by bringing up the issue I was from “A Nice Jewish Family”. I believe she was as shocked as you were. Our society believes the myth that Jews can’t be pedophiles, or abuse their own children. This is a “MYTH”, they do abuse children. There are even those who practice cannibalism, and perform human sacrifices. Believe me I saw it with my own eyes. I’ve come to the point in my life were I feel I need to bare-witness. I have and will continue to until I’m sure what I had to endure as a child is believed by you and others like you. I will do what ever is possible so what happened to me doesn’t happen to anyone else!

NY Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. Can he do the Tomdelay?
The next watershed event in US politics will take place not in some backwater red state suckling on bluestate teats, but right here, in the Empire State, home to the now dead and gone specie once known as Liberal Republicans. According to John C. Fortier of the American Enterprise Institute, the most important political race in America will be the Democrats’ effort to take over the State Senate.
Only five, count them, 5 Senate seats separate the New York Democratic party from gaining the majority in both state houses, while Elliot Spitzer glides majestically into the big house in Albany.
What happens next is the stuff of GOP nightmares. There are 9 Republican seats in the NY Congressional delegation. By tradition and convention, as those districts have been drawn following the 2000 census, in 2002, they should expect to remain drawn that way until 2012.
But with complete control over everything, the NY Dems could borrow a page from the Tom Delay playbook, and run their markers up and down the Long Island and Upstate maps, making the Republican delegation all but extinct come 2008.
Do we want to see this coming? Well, being a frothing at the mouth Bush Hater, I’m insulted you even asked. If we can create 9 extra New York Democrats, we can retake America, boys and girls.
Last time I checked, New Yorkers were spending $1.25 for every $1. we receive from Washington. This means that those heaps of spiritual waste scheming to slowly bring us back to the 18th Century have been getting my extra quarter, to plan future assaults on the environment, scientific research and personal freedoms. Well, I want my quarter back, and I hope our NY Dems, who are far better warriors than the rest of the donkey party, will gerrymander the daylights out of the GOP.
REDRAW NEW YORK STATE, ADD 9 DEMOCRATS TO CONGRESS IN 2008
The only problem is that, while being a better class of Democrats, our representatives may consider themselves too refined and decent to engage in the Tom Delay Tango. That leaves it up to us to persuade the Dem leadership to both engage in actively seeking to take back the State Senate (we did have it once, for about 15 minutes), and that once we win those 4 local races for Democratic candidates, we push our decent and refined leadership to unsheathe the short knives and to go a-hacking.
Our country is already in the throes of a civil war, with the one difference being that our side hasn’t found out about it yet. We’re being impoverished and destroyed by the most backward elements of our society. It’s time to stop them. We have the power, we have the money, we have the skill. All we need now is the political will to decimate the NY State GOP. The rest of the victory thing will come surprisingly easily.
Get your Democratic representatives to join the effort to terminate the 35-27 Republican Senate majority in Albany. These races are the cheapest to win – get the party volunteers out there and convince several hundred local Democrats to turn out come election day, it doesn’t take much more than that. This is not presidential campaigning, people, this is the State Senate, for crying out loud.
Let’s add the act of Tomdelaying to the old tradition of Gerrymandering in New York State, and let’s TAKE BACK THE UNION!
We bring the article as is, no touch-ups, no corrections. You read it, you decide for yourself what lurks inside that big heart. If you can trace some of the language to later behavior on the part of the author, feel free to comment. Remember, we didn't say it was original, but we do think it's revealing. Read and learn.
Projection is one of the first defenses or protective mechanismslearned asa child. A child needs to feel a sense of importance. When this isthreatenedthere becomes a need to feel a sense of some sort of magical power over another person, to feel safe, guiltless, important. When there is aconflict that isintolerable internally, a child will externalize the feelings on tosomeoneor something. How many times have you heard stories bout a young childbreakingsomething and saying "I didn't do it, Marc did it" or It just fell byitself". The child is unable to own his/her own feelings of guilt orshame. The samething happens to us as adults.
But what do you do when you are the one who is being projected upon?What doyou do with the feelings and protect yourself from feeling hurt? How doyoudisengage from the negative energy that is flowing? How do you NOT dountoothers as they do unto you? The answers can be both simple and complex.The firststep is being able to recognized a projection. The second step islearning notto internalize the feelings, in other words "Don't take it personally".Simple to say, yet extremely difficult to do. That's where remembering"I amrubber, you are glue..." comes in handy.
Most people want to have a good relationship with their family,friends,co-workers, yet experience difficulties because, as one client said "Noone knowsbetter than my parents and other family members how to push mybuttons." "Iget crazy and do and/or say things I wish I wouldn't."
Sometimes I do things that are self-destructive just to make thefeelings goaway." Some common self-abusive behaviors include self-mutilation,suicideattempts, sexual acting out, alcohol/chemical abuse, binge eating,starving, etc.These symptoms can be a result of something someone said, or caused byintense feelings that one just doesn't know what to do with. Sometimesit feels likepeople I care about are trying to get me upset." "It feels like theywant meto hurt myself". These are also projections.
Remember "I am rubber, you are glue, whatever you say bounces off ofme andsticks to you" may help separate your feelings from someone else'sprojection.When you are feeling under attack and the child within is panicking, itmaybe helpful to remember this poem. Say it loudly to yourself when youfeel thatsomeone is saying negative things to you that do not seem to fit. Itmay helpto stay separate from the intense feelings someone is trying to give toyou.It can be a way to protect yourself instead of owning their feelings.Mostimportant is that it may also help you with some of the intensefeelings that maytrigger some of your own negative reactions.
