kath, I totally feel like you were being overly dismissive...
For one, to claim that "All research into SRA has proven it to be non existent" and supply that website, clearly shows you have very scant understanding of the issue.
A very large body of research suggests that this IS happening, many, many people claim to have had such experiences.
Many more since the dated research on that website, also (most of the data there being at least 15 years old)
I will be the first to admit that it is the most outlandish concept, and if you were seeking a fraudulant abuse lawsuit, I am sure there would be much better ways to do it than claiming to be a victim of such a large, secret network.
The strange and unbelievable nature of the topic, coupled with dismissal from most people (like yourself?) would be far more than enough pressure to keep actual victims very quiet, especially if the abuse no longer continues.
The famous "McMartin" case, which happened in the early nineties, is the centre of the arguement that it does not happen, as the accused were later acquitted. I think there is reason to believe that many aspects of that case were surpressed, including that tunnels were found by an archaeologist independently comissioned by a few parents, and the subsequent report would not be published by anyone.
This is the statement of the mother...

and the archeologist's report...

You also went into a very unneccesarily dismissive and ignorant comment about the Bilderberg group.
Here is a Canadian news article on it, as the last meeting was in Canada.

I only mentioned the Bilderberg group in conjunction to the researcher Daniel Estulin, whom I thought might be found to be considered a fact based researcher that is credible, he investigates the individuals that appear to be involved in hidden, over-arching power stuctures.
The people that attend these meetings are very real, and there has been much information gleaned concerning the content of these meetings which definately point to global policy being disseminated at these meetings, thanks to very serious and fulltime researchers such as Daniel Estulin and Alex Jones.
These researchers have stated that many of these high ranking "Bilderbergers" ARE in fact involved in satanic, occult ritual.
There is much data concerning the yearly attendees available, like a complete list from of attendees from the previous meeting, validated by the journalists like Alex, who stand outside and document the various people who arrive for the meeting, such as David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger, sometimes talking with them, also.

page two is interesting. a statement about the group, from the group.
The researcher Alan Watt also specializes in the Bilderberg Group, he has a collection of their minutes from the earlier meetings, like from the 50's, the content very interesting.
My point being that the "Global Satanic Network" may be real, according to the claims of the victims, according to the findings of researchers like the above mentioned. It should also be understood that this network is very privileged and very secret, thus not just some local ring of satanists.
It is a very complex and convoluted situation, and, of course, if it is real, especially in the context of this "hidden power structure", it has been tucked away very well for a very long time.
I can understand just dismissing it, that is fine, but in the context of someone who claims to be a victim of it, like your internet friend, would a serious discussion of the issue not be apropriate?
Your conclusions are not based on all available information, very far from it, I would suggest.
