The CIA's Child Trafficking Cult They Covered Up for 40 Years | Peter Levenda In 1987, police in Tallahassee, Florida made a disturbing discovery: two well-dressed men in a van with six malnourished, filthy children who couldn't identify their own parents. What started as a routine welfare check would unravel into one of the most chilling cover-ups in American history. Peter Levenda reveals the disturbing story of the Finders cult - a mysterious CIA-connected group operating in plain sight in Washington D.C. When police raided their warehouse, they found detailed instructions for obtaining children, photos of adults and children participating in blood rituals, and passports to North Korea and Russia. The evidence pointed to an international child trafficking operation with ties to the highest levels of government. Then the CIA stepped in. The investigation was abruptly shut down, classified as an "internal matter," and the case files were sealed. The children were returned to the cult. No charges were ever filed. Levenda, a renowned researcher of the occult and government conspiracies, breaks down what we know, what was hidden, and why this case still matters today.

THE FINDERS: Did the CIA Cover Up a Child Trafficking Ring? What happens when a local police department accidentally stumbles upon a CIA operation? In 1987, we found out. Imagine this: Police in Florida arrest a group of disheveled adults in a park with terrified, unkempt children. It looks like an open-and-shut case of a horrific child trafficking ring. But just as the detectives start digging into the "Game of Games" manual and the disturbing photos found in the van, the suits from Washington D.C. show up. And the message is clear: Stop the investigation. In this episode, we crack open the FBI Vault records to investigate The Finders, the most baffling and controversial cult in American history. Led by the enigmatic Marion Pettie, this Washington D.C. commune morphed from a quirky New Age experiment into the target of a massive international manhunt. We analyze the evidence that still keeps investigators up at night. Was this just a misunderstood commune caught up in the hysteria of the Satanic Panic? Or, as the declassified documents suggest, was The Finders a front for CIA intelligence training, protected by the highest levels of the US government? We separate the internet folklore from the forensic facts, exploring the tension between local law enforcement and federal secrets. In this episode, we uncover: - The Park Arrests: The 1987 incident that exposed the group. - The CIA Connection: Why the agency allegedly intervened to block the prosecution. - The "Game of Games": Decoding the group’s bizarre internal manifesto. - The Legacy: How this case fuels modern conspiracy theories today. 🎧 Press play to walk the line between conspiracy and reality.

The Finders: Harmless Cult or CIA-Linked Child Traffickers? A Discussion with Elizabeth Vos It’s a story that has captivated many for over three decades. In 1987, locals in Tallahassee, Florida alerted police to a strange incident in a local park. Six dirty, hungry and poorly clothed kids — almost resembling feral children — were in the custody of two extremely sharply dressed men. Both men were questioned but later released by police, although when it transpired that the men and the children were members of an obscure cult, situated in Washington, D.C. and called “The Finders,” the story went viral, causing nationwide hysteria. The incident occurred in the middle of the “Satanic Panic:” the fear that devil-worshipping gangs across the U.S. were kidnapping or even sacrificing children. The trail would ultimately lead to allegations of a cult involved in ritual abuse, an international child-trafficking ring, evidence of child abuse confirmed and later denied, and ties with the CIA, which was alleged to have interfered in the case. Investigative journalist Elizabeth Vos (https://twitter.com/ElizabethleaVos) has been following the story and recent updates to it closely. Based in Arkansas, Elizabeth was the editor-in-chief of Disobedient Media and also hosts the CNLive webcast on Consortium News. Today, she joined Mintcast host Mnar Muhawesh Adley to discuss her latest trilogy of articles about the case, which can be found here: part 1 (https://www.mintpressnews.com/the-finders-cia-ties-child-sex-cult-obscured-media-coverage/277543/) , part 2 (https://www.mintpressnews.com/losing-finders-buried-documents-link-infamous-cult-to-cia/277756/) , part 3 (https://www.mintpressnews.com/finders-cult-us-government-worked-keep-cia-connection-secret/277948/) . Elizabeth’s series focuses on the Finders’ close connections to the CIA, which suggest they may have been more than just an obscure group of people living an alternative, communal lifestyle: Isabelle Pettie, the wife of Finders’ head Marion Pettie, was employed at the agency between 1952 and 1961, while members of The Finders also trained CIA staff in computing. And, as Vos shows in the series, there is ample official evidence of an attempted CIA coverup, emanating from police and other federal agencies. In 2019, the FBI released hundreds of documents from their investigation of The Finders into the public domain. Although many are heavily redacted, they do appear to legitimize many of the claims regarding CIA involvement made by agents. The case and the subsequent alleged CIA coverup has led to all manner of wild speculations about who and what Th Support the show (https://www.mintpressnews.com/donations/) MintPress News is a fiercely independent.

The Finders CULT and Their DISTURBING CIA Connection In March of this year, I dove deep into the Satanic Panic, or so I thought. I left that week thinking the Satanic Panic was nothing more than a baseless moral panic, one that ended up ruining the lives of many innocent adults, and brainwashing children into having false memories, thinking they had suffered horrific abuse. But what if I told you that yes, while all of that is still true, there were others during that time hiding in the shadows, doing the very things people during the panic feared? And… what if I told you they may have had help from some of the most powerful people in the world? Today, we will be exploring one of the most unsettling mysteries of the 80s, and chilling ties to the Central Intelligence Agency. This is the story of The Finders.

The Deadly Cult That Worked For The CIA February 4, 1987. It’s a chilly Wednesday morning over in Tallahassee, Florida. Right in front of Myers Park, a blue van pulls up. And out of it disembark two gentlemen in their mid-twenties with six kids aged 2 to 11 in tow. The men look clean, neatly groomed, and well-dressed in their suits and ties. The kids, on the other hand, look dirty, unkempt, and seriously malnourished. The odd-looking group immediately draws attention and suspicion. So someone calls the police, who immediately arrive and begin to question the suspects. The men give their names as Douglas Ammerman and Michael Holwell. And they say that they are taking the children to Mexico to wean them from their mothers and start up a school for gifted children. The looks of the kids, however, tell a completely different story. Besides their scruffiness, the kids do not appear to be aware of basic living amenities and modern technology, including electricity, phones, hot water, or even toilets. More worryingly, none of the kids had underwear on, which raises suspicions of sexual abuse. Curiously, when police try to question the oldest kid about it, she gets fidgety and shuts down the interview. Two days later, police find out that the men and children belong to a satanist, child-trafficking cult known as the Finders. A raid of the group’s property in Washington DC, reveals damning evidence of child pornography, international child trafficking, and blood rituals involving children. As the public awaits a trial and conviction, they are shocked to find that the men are released barely one week after their arrest. Not only that, the children are also released right back to the Finders cult. Police explain that it’s all a big misunderstanding and that the Finders are just a bunch of hippies, not devil-worshiping child molesters. The truth, however, is much more sinister.
