Throughout the 1980s the United States was shaken by an epidemic of "Satanic Ritual Abuse" witch-hunts targeting schools and day-care centers. Bewildered law-enforcement authorities found themselves besieged by "outraged" parents backed by abuse-pronouncing "play therapists" and tabloid media flame-fanners. That the outrage of the aggrieved parents quickly turned into multimillion-dollar claims and lawsuits merely inspired more copycat scams. In 1986 it was the turn of the Presidio of San Francisco, where a hapless day-care teacher became the scapegoat-of-choice for parents to file $74 million in claims - "validated" by the Army's own "play-therapist." Left out of this claims bonanza were Army Christian chaplain Larry Adams-Thomson and his wife Michele, so they invented new allegations against "Satanists" Michael and Lilith Aquino, then filed their own $3 million claim, using their own daughter as their pawn. The result was several years of horror and stress for the Aquinos, extending to a "black bag job" against them reaching to the highest levels of the Department of the Army. For years this story was untellable due to the numerous powerful and influential officials who committed crimes in the course of it. Now it can be exposed - and documented in 76 detailed appendices.
