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.

"Recent discussions about granting direct commissions as field-grade officers (major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel) to people with highly-desirable civilian experience are often couched in terms of "that was done during World War II." Responses that such wartime commissions were temporary commissions in the Army of the United States (AUS), rather than in the Regular Army (RA), are usually met with blank looks. During World War II, almost all Army commissions--the authorization from the government that gives a military officer the right to command--were temporary AUS commissions. The AUS commission saw continued use in limited numbers after the war, but has been in hiatus since the early 1980s. The AUS commission was the last of several types of temporary commissions the United States government used to expand the Army officer corps during wartime. The use of temporary commissions to provide enough officers to lead the quickly growing ranks was the standard practice during most of the major wars fought by the United States until after the end of the Vietnam War, varying only in the type of commission and method for raising additional wartime forces. Only since 1980 has the US Army sought to wage war without issuing some sort of temporary commission to expand the officer corps"--
