Ritual abuse has been alleged to occur in a number of different locations nationally and internationally. Areas like Napa Valley in California have been specifically pointed out as hotspots for such abuse and are relatively well known for the issue.
One less well known location that can serve as a case study of ritual abuse is the surprisingly wealthy small town called Bartlesville, in Oklahoma.
Bartlesville is unique in Oklahoma because it is unusually wealthy. It was founded on oil money, and the Petroleum company Phillips 66 was headquartered there for decades.
In this location there have been multiple reports of ritual abuse over a long period, and the population of the area is so small, that these numerous allegations when viewed in totality appear to corroborate each other. Some of the research included here was shared with me by Sharpedge42.
The abuse ring in Bartlesville is ongoing. It's not only a pedophilia network, or a trafficking network, or where CIA experiments take place. It is specifically a site of ritualistic abuse which is ingrained in the town's power structure. It's not necessarily Satanic, but it is a location where cult related ritual abuse takes place. This is important because it's such a small ecosystem of a town, that it provides a good example of a location where ritual abuse occurs.
Larger cities can camouflage abuses more easily within the usual crime of a large metropolitan area. In Bartlesville and the surrounding area, the rampant ritual abuse is much more apparent. In 2015 Bartlesville had about 50,000 inhabitants.
Bartlesville has an unusual history for a small mid western town. It includes a number of buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff, and the Bartlesville Community Center was designed by William Wesley Peters, one of Wright's students.
Bruce Goff was charged with 'corrupting the morals of a minor' in the 1950's, and Frank Lloyd Wright's troubled private life was notorious if not downright abusive.
Wright's first Taliesin studio was also the scene of a brutal murder, during which the building was burnt to the ground. Interestingly, the second incarnation of Taliesin was also destroyed by fire.
According to the BBC:
"All hell broke loose at Taliesin when one of Wright's servants unleashed an attack that claimed eight lives (including the attacker's), left the world-famous architectural treasure in rubble, and devastated Wright, who was then 47 years old. The attacker was 30-year-old Julian Carlton, an estate worker originally from Barbados.
While Wright was away in Chicago, Carlton bolted the doors and windows of the dining room where Mamah Borthwick, her two children, and six other people were eating, poured buckets of petrol under the doors and torched the building. He then used an axe to attack those who jumped out of the windows to escape the flames.
Another source on the massacre notes that "bizarrely enough, Taliesin II would also burn to the ground, apparently the result of an electrical surge. Taliesin III stands to this day."
The New York Post describes Wright: "He was a narcissist and control freak, a spendthrift and adulterer who led a life marked by scandal, debt and even murder." Within a year of the firey massacre, Wright had proclaimed his love for another woman who had penned him a condolence letter.
It's possible that the massacre at Taliesin was one of the country's earliest and bloodiest 'false flags.' A motive for the murders was never determined. The massacre took place when Wright was conveniently visiting Chicago.
The Post also noted Wright's abusive personality, and wrote regarding conditions at a later incarnation of Taliesin:
"The Wrights dictated their workers’ sex lives, rotating the few women as needed. On the plus side, Friedland noted, many young gay men found the compound a safe space during homophobic times."
In my reading of this commune, it may have been a haven for early 20th century adherents to the ritualistic cults involved in serious abusive practices. I provide this context, because Wright and his acolytes formed the center of Bartlesville architecture and provide a potentially important tie into more recent claims of ritual abuse in that area.
Some extra links on Frank Lloyd Wright are included in this pastebin.
Taliesin West:
The spiral here is reminiscent of the oft-cited 'pedo spiral' noted by the FBI and greatly discussed in the last year.
The dragon showed here 'breathes fire' when a fire is lit beneath it. I speculate that this is somewhat similar to the statue of the giant owl seen at Bohemian Grove, where fire rituals take place every year.
My suspicions of ritual abuse occurring in the Taliesin communes is strengthened by this blog post's description of rituals taking place at Taliesin:
"A reverence for Nature, for ancient archaeological artifacts, and for American Indian and Eastern/Oriental culture not only contributed to Wright’s architectural designs but also to ritual alternative-education practices within his Taliesin Fellowship."
"Rituals at Taliesin also included extemporized ‘sermonettes’ by Wright and by some of his Apprentices on Sundays. Readings included Nietzsche, a variety of poets, and essays written by Taliesin Fellowship members and visitors. (Wright had been raised a Unitarian, but Olgivanna was inclined toward Theosophy and, prior to marrying Wright, had spent time in France with Gurdjieff and his disciples.) Chamber music was sometimes part of these Sunday exercises in spirituality at Taliesin. The symbolic function of music in these rituals was, I would say, ‘sacrament-like’: mysterious, or embodying a sacred mystery that the Fellowship regarded as essential; mediating ‘grace’ for the Fellowship members or in a ‘tikkun olam’ sense, for all of humankind; a means for communing with God or entering into and participating in transcendence. Chamber music as sacred mystery, a portal to the source of meaning and value. Chamber music co-opted as ‘tool’ for cult?"
The style of 'cult' present at Taliesin is probably in part connected with Wright's third Wife, Oglivanna Lloyd Wright, who was an ardent disciple of the Mystic George Gurdjieff.
Interestingly, one of Gudjieff's other fanatic disciples was none other than head of British Military Intelligence in the Middle East John G. Bennet. Bennet was also very active in the Subud movement.
Gurdjieff is rumored to have been a Russian spy, also said to have personally known Stalin. Gurdjieff's beliefs were stongly influenced by Blavatsky's Theosophy. He also claims to have had contact with the "Sarmoung Brotherhood," apparently related to Sufism and Asian shamanism, which Gurdjieff described:
"What struck us most was the word "Sarmoung", which we had come across several times in the book called "Merkhavat". This word is the name of a famous esoteric school which, according to tradition, was founded in Babylon as far back as 2500 BC, and which was known to have existed somewhere in Mesopotamia up to the sixth or seventh century AD; ...."
Gurdjieff's influences were described here:
A video on the subject is available here.
Gurdjieff also appears to have been in contact with the Yazidis at some point. There is some indication that whatever strain of mysticism Gurdjieff ascribed to, it may have been extremely ancient, and focused in particular on the ritualistic movement of the body, in the tradition of the Sufi whirling dervish.
Interestingly, a similar style of 'sacred dance' was seen in the darkest aspects of my research into Findhorn., which led to Gabriele Wosien, and finally, Svetlana Bakushina.
Other practitioners of Ritualistic dance (who have visited Findhorn) speak about the 'trance' state invoked by repetitive, simple movement.
One infamous performance artist Maria Abramovic, provides a key insight into Gurdjieff's practices. She stated in an interview that: "I looked at different people, like shamans, and I was very influenced by theosophy and Buddhism. So who can be my daddy? I’d like to think of Gurdjieff as my daddy. Gurdjieff mixed with volcano."
The Daily Mail wrote of Gurjieff:
"Gurdjieff’s long-winded teachings are hard, perhaps even impossible, to summarize, but revolve around the belief that the moon feeds off the energy of dead human beings, and controls all our actions. His beliefs are also described as "an amalgam of Theosophy, Neopythagoreanism, Rosicrucianism and alchemy. "
Frank Lloyd Wright & Oglivanna's daughter at Taliesin:
Again, Oglivanna is not only distantly related to Bartlesville through her husband's architectural work which included the Bartlesville Price Tower.
Her daughter married one of Wright's acolytes, William Wesley Peters. Peters built the Bartlesville community center. Peters was described as a Wright devotee by the New York Times. When he died, he was chairman of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, and he was Wright's first apprentice.
Peters was also later briefly married to Svetlana Alliluyeva, the youngest child and only daughter of Joseph Stalin, in a union arranged by his former mother-in-law, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright. So it appears that rumors of Gurdjieff's connection to Stalin may have had some basis in reality.
One source writes: "Many of the hundreds who came to study there were transformed by the Wrights into willing instruments of Olgivanna’s will, how she was able to exert total emotional and sexual control over many of Wright’s protégés. Frank Lloyd gave his wife the ultimate gift — her own live-action dollhouse. The stories of Olgivanna toying with that dollhouse are riveting, particularly those about Joseph Stalin’s daughter, Svetlana, who became a virtual slave of the Wrights and complained that her experience at Taliesin was emotionally scarring."
If Stalin's daughter found Taliesin emotionally scarring, then what exactly was going on in the compound?
Another source indicates that Wright was friends with American Nazis like Phillip Johnson. One document likewise claims that Gurdjieff actually taught Stalin and Hitler. If true, his connection to Frank Lloyd Wright, and indirectly, Bartlesville, would become even more ominous.
Importantly, some sources links Gurdjieff's practices to Tavistock and the Nazis - which may be substantiated by his disciple having been the head of British Military Intelligence in the Middle East. This may represent an early crux between military intelligence groups and esotericism which has also been described at places like Esalen.
Gurdjieff is also associated with he Human Potential Movement, which was born at Esalen. I've written a number of times about the connections between Esalen, military intelligence, and the use of the Human Potential Movement as a euphemism for MKULTRA experimentation.
Some documents claim that Gurdjieff taught Karl Haushofer and was directly involved in the esoteric arm of Nazi activity, for example, the Vril society.
I provide a pastebin of important links and extra information on Gurdjieff, here:
"Louis Pauwels, in his book Monsieur Gurdjieff, describes Haushofer as a former student of George Gurdjieff. Others, including Pauwels, said that Haushofer created a Vril society and that he was a secret member of the Thule Society.[1] ... Zweig credits him with the concept of Lebensraum, used in a psychological sense of a nation's relative energies."
"Both Gurdjeiff and Haushofer maintained that they had contacts with secret Tibetan Lodges that possessed the secret of the "Superman". The lodge included Hitler, Alfred Rosenberg, Himmler, Goring, and Hitler's subsequent personal physician Dr. Morell. It is also known that Aleister Crowley and Gurdjieff sought contact with Hitler. "
"Hitler's unusual powers of suggestion become more understandable if one keeps in mind that he had access to the "secret" psychological techniques of the esoteric lodges. Haushofer taught him the techniques of Gurdjieff which, in turn, were based on the teachings of the Sufis and the Tibetan Lamas- and familiarized him with the Zen teaching of the Japanese Society of the Green Dragon."
There may also be some connection between Gurdjieff's practices and those of the Donmeh.
He developed a method for doing so called “The Work” or “the Method.” Because his method for awakening one’s consciousness was different from that of the fakir, monk or yogi, his discipline is also called the “Fourth Way.” As Gurdjieff explained, “The way of the development of hidden possibilities is a way against nature and against God.”
Apparently, Gurdjieff’s deceptive and tyrannical ways led to his reputation as a “rascal guru.” He was widely referred to as a black magician, and Rasputin was so fearful of him that he was quoted to have said, “I had been especially careful not to look at Gurdjieff and not to allow him to look into my eyes...”
According to an extremely informative conspiracy blog, He was criticized by many of his former students as being slovenly, gluttonous and was notorious for seducing his female students and fathering several illegitimate children. "P. D. Ouspensky, his leading student, finally broke with him, claiming that he was “a very extraordinary man,” but that it was “dangerous to be near him.”
It seems bizarre and somewhat surreal that individuals with connections to Stalin and surreal theosophical cults would be so intimately tied to a town like Bartlesville in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma. However, this history provides an important backdrop to the ongoing allegations of ritual abuse that arise in the area.
It's also notable that infamous MKULTRA doctor and False Memory Syndrome Associate Dr. Joylon West, was stationed for years at Oklahoma City University in Norman. West was affiliated with the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, and it was during this time that he killed an elephant with LSD in Oklahoma.
This ties indirectly to Bartlesville in that Bruce Goff, who built many structures in the area, taught at the same campus as West.
It was while teaching at this campus in 1955 that Goff was accused of pedophilia. A report by Hypoallergenic about Goff states:
"Goff lived in Bartlesville after being forced to retire from the University of Oklahoma where he was department chair at the architecture school, which he had invigorated as a center for avant-garde thought on design. The exact reasons for his forced exile are still unclear, but are definitely linked to the fact that he was gay. He was accused of endangering the morals of a minor, "
His wikipedia entry also reads:
"In 1955, Goff, who was homosexual, was accused of "endangering the morals of a minor", as homosexuality was not socially acceptable in Oklahoma in 1955.[4] As a result of the unproven claims, he was forced to resign from his position at the University of Oklahoma.[3] Historians and writers have expressed their belief that Goff was politically forced from his position specifically for being homosexual.
A book describes the accusations against Goff regarding a 14 year old boy, to which he plead guilty:
Bruce Goff created a large number of homes in and around Bartlesville. One of the was known as Shin'en Khan, or 'Way of the Far Way heart.' (Or dislocated mind) The building burned down in the mid 90's, continuing the earlier pattern seen in Wright's Taliesin compounds.
Goff eventually relocated his office to Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower in Bartlesville.
Shin'en Khan burned down in the mid-90's. The event was referred to as an arson, and even resulted in a grand jury on the matter.
"The police in Bartlesville said the building was destroyed by intentionally set fires from multiple sources, but no one was ever prosecuted. "
A number of publicly available interior shots of Shin'en Khan follow:
Shin'en Khan included a pool which drained into a bath tub, in a floor below:
"Goose Feathers deadened the sound."
Closeup of this tub:
The pool from the floor above:
Shin'enKhan was not the only Goff building to be destroyed under mysterious circumstances: In fact, the destruction of his Bavinger house was reported by local news to have involved gunfire
"Yet the most lamentable loss may be the Bavinger House in Norman, Oklahoma, arguably Goff’s masterpiece, which was destroyed just this past year under very unusual circumstances."
Goff served in the Navy during World War II, and also designed a Lutheran Church in Bartlesville, called the "Church of the Redeemer." as well as a church in Edmond, Oklahoma (near Bartlesville)
Goff was far from the only prominent Bartlesville citizen to be accused of child abuse, and the accusations of ritual stemming from the area have continued for decades.
One of the numerous sex abuse scandals to come out of Bartlesville is the "Voice of the Martyrs" scandal, which was pointed out to me by Sharpedge42. Voice of the Martyrs is headquartered in Bartlesville OK.
It describes itself as a "nonprofit, interdenominational Christian missions organization dedicated to serving our persecuted family worldwide through practical and spiritual assistance and leading other members of the body of Christ into fellowship with them."
Sharpedge42 pointed out that the group is very well funded.
The President of the group killed himself after an investigation into alleged abuse of a young girl was initiated. After White's death, the investigation into child abuse was closed.
White's obituary may be read here.
The latest VOM headquarters featured high levels of security.: "President Jim Dau said the facility was built with high security because of the nature of the organization's work, but there have been no incidents." The founder's son had disowned the organization
The founder of Voice of the Martyrs is Richard Wurmbrand.. He is described by local press: "The Voice of the Martyrs was founded in 1967 by Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian who spent 14 years as a prisoner for his faith. His wife, Sabina, who died last month at 87, spent three years in prison."
Sharpedge42 also noted that Thomas R. Holland has served as the Bartlesville chief of Police, while also serving on the board of Directors of Voice of the Martyr.
This connection with a high-security 'cult' associated with child abuse may strengthen allegations that the power structure in Bartlesville is intimately involved with and protective of ritual abuse. These additional accounts of cult activity are discussed later in this post.
There is also some indication that Holland, the Chief of Police and Board Member of Voice of the Martyrs, may have been a CIA or FBI agent. Holland was also listed as one of the 'worst bosses in America,' as reported by local news. The reasons for this designation included sexual harrassment suits filed against the Bartlesville police department.
The allegations in the wordpress blog is also seriously indicative of the deep corruption that has existed in Bartlesville for decades. A petition to continue an investigation into Voice of the Martyrs was also created, where a commenter stated:
Bartlesville is very close to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where some psychologists list themselves as working with ritual abuse cases. Sharpedge42 also noted that "Only three cities have facilities which train Catholic priests in exorcism, and one of them is Tulsa." One article discusses the training of Catholic exorcists in Tulsa:
One such exorcist based in Tulsa specifically stated that Satanic cults should be taken seriously. The article states that one woman who alleges having been used in a ritualistic cult was located in Tulsa, which again is extremely close to Bartlesville:
The Catholic exorcist from Tulsa cited in the article relates Barkin's claims to have worked with victims of Satanic ritual abuse in Oklahoma. He says: "Oklahoma has pockets of Satanic cults whose rituals involve the sexual abuse of children and adults, and sometimes the blood of the victims."
"Brankin ... [has] himself has worked with victims of Satanic ritual abuse. He said Oklahoma has pockets of Satanic cults whose rituals involve the sexual abuse of children and adults, and sometimes the blood of the victims."
Kyle L Stewart, was a psychiatrist living in Bartlesville who retired after sexual abuse claims were made against him. He was found by the Board to have likely committed criminal acts, but he was never charged. His victim was warned by authorities to stop speaking out against him, or she would suffer and he would "walk" regardless. An article published by the Daily Mail in August of last year stated:
"An Oklahoma psychiatrist was allowed to quietly retire despite allegations by two patients that he used stories of witchcraft and demons in order to abuse them. Kyle L Stewart, 68, a married father from the small town of Bartlesville, north of Tulsa, retired in November last year after agreeing to surrender his medical licence following allegations of sexual misconduct."
As the title relates, Stewart was accused of child sexual abuse. It's also important to recognize that he practiced in Bartlesville, in addition to living there.
The article in the Daily Mail also states:
"The victim said Stewart convinced her that she was afflicted by evil spirits, and that fallen angels could be inside her.
She also claims that Stewart said her mother had given her over to witchcraft while she was still in the womb, and that at night she left her house to perform satanic rituals in the woods without knowing it. The victim said Stewart 'terrified' her by praying over her and saying an exorcism may need to be performed."
A FOX report states that Stewart attended the Grace Community Church in Bartlesville. He was not only a Deacon, but a Church Board Member.
Another source on this story writes that:
"A church elder with fatherly charm, Stewart was one of only a few psychiatrists in Bartlesville, a small town north of Tulsa where Phillips Petroleum was founded a century ago. The first victim who came forward told the AJC that after only a few sessions, Stewart told her she suffered from multiple personalities, which another psychiatrist has since debunked."
It is interesting that a psychiatrist would specifically use multiple personality disorder and descriptions of ritual abuse in order to sexually molest a client.
The similar statements of another victim imply that something deeper may be at play here. The additional victim did believe that her parents had dedicated her to witchcraft, and that she "involuntarily took part in satanic rituals after dark. She may have held those beliefs before she started sessions with Stewart, her former husband, Geoff Higbee, told the AJC." Higbee committed suicide in 2003.
The Bartlesville Examiner, the local paper in the area, wrote an article on the story.
An attorney for Stewart's victims stated:
Stewart wasn't the only doctor in Bartlesville who sexually abused his patients and was never criminally charged.
The documentary "In A Town This Size" discussed pedophilic abuse committed by Dr. William (Bill) Dougherty, unpunished for decades.
Dougherty is described in the documentary's supplemental information as having abused dozens of children in Bartlesville for decades. He was never charged with any crime, and is reported to still live in Bartlesville, only emerging from his home at night in disguise. In the documentary, many survivors of Dougherty's abuse refer to him as an absolutely stone cold psychopath.
Yet another doctor who treats ritual abuse in Bartlesville is James Musgrave. The large number of mental health groups and professionals working specifically on Ritual abuse cases may serve as an indication of the high demand for help in this vein, and appears to be a very high amount of demand for such services, given the relatively small size of the town.
One of the most shocking allegations of ritual abuse surfaced in Bartlesville relatively recently. In this case, the father of the victim spoke out about the abuse. He attempted to protect his child, and posted angry statements about the alleged ritualistic rape on social media.
As a result, this father attempting to protect his child from ritual abuse was the only one ultimately arrested. He was unironically charged with"child abuse."
This is especially damning when considering the infamously corrupt long time police chief of Bartlesville, Tom Holland, and the allegations of sexual abuse made against the Bartlesville Police Department. Its also important to not that this father speaking as an advocate for protecting his child was actually charged with child abuse - unlike the psychiatrist operating in Bartlesville who admitted to molesting his own patient and convinced her she was ritually abused - who was never charged.
I want to re-emphasize that the arrested man in this case is the person who was trying to raise the alarm about the ritual abuse suffered by his own child, and who accused the power structure in Bartlesville of being complicit in this abuse.
The Bartlesville-Examiner stated:
"According to a probable cause arrest affidavit filed in Washington County District Court, Hudnall and his minor child approached a Bartlesville police officer May 27 to report that in 2015, the child had been kidnapped, hit in the head and dragged to Bartlesville High School where he was subsequently raped by a cult of 18 individuals — including personnel from the Bartlesville Police Department, Washington County District Attorney’s office and St. John’s Catholic School."
"The affidavit states Hudnall told the police officer the incident had been reported in 2015, but “no one would do anything because everyone was involved and that it is a cult.”
