The conspiracy theory is that the Phoenix-style "civilian assassination" program is all under the rubric of Santa Muerte nowadays.  At least as far as I know.  Thanks.

Colleagues,

I just thought I’d share a story that is unfolding in my neck of the wood here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  You’ll find the pertinent material on page 2 of the article.  Personally, I think this woman just has problems, but the publicity should be interesting.

Honestly, I gotta say that you can't make this stuff up--Miranda Barbour grew 

up in North Pole, Alaska and joined a Satanic cult there as a young teen. So  

she tells us. 

Sounds like aomething from the plot of a comic book or a made for TV horror 

movie or computer game. North Pole Satanic cult?!?!? 

Intellectually, academically, I find such a claim to a small town Satanic cult that 

promotes serial murder intransigent. Yes, it might have existed. Or not. It might 

have incorporated aspects of what we list members recognize as Satanism. Or 

not. It might have expressed elements of demon centered popular occulture. 

Or not. It might be a fantasy, an excuse, or a legal maneuver. Or not. 

Representatives of Satanic organizations insist that Barbour is not a member. 

(An odd sentence to write in so many ways!) 

Still, it goes accurately to a bull's eye of collective psychology. 

For now, I'm looking at the claims of a Satanic cult membership more or less 

like the Jolly Roger--a forceful symbol to inspire fear, confusion, and the like. 

But I cannot say that the colours are true or false. 

Musing Could I Be An Expert Witness On Satanic Cults In This Case? No!!! Rose, 

Pitch
