Dissociation is used as a defense to protect a person from overwhelming pain and trauma. It is a natural ability of the brain.

Those who say recovered memories are all false are either shills or just ignorant. Blanket statements that try to end any attempted discussions of mind-abuse serve only the abuser, not the child.
Additionally, there are powerful social entities who masquerade under the banner of child-welfare that are trained to combat such attempts.

I don't believe in "Recovered Memories". You don't block traumatic events, if anything you can not forget them, ask any Vet, rape victim, Death Camp surviver, etc.

I don't know about that one, My sister in law was rape when she was 9 by the pastor of the church she attended with her family.

Perhaps the mind of a child is more susceptible/prone to disassociation and repressing memories than the adult mind, which would explain the targeting of children for a mind-control technique that has this as a prerequisite for success.
Stephen Marshall
A writer and award-winning director, Stephen is the internationally-known creator of Channel Zero, the world's first global VHS newsmagazine. Distributed in Tower, Virgin and HMV record stores around the world, Channel Zero became an underground hit and one of the first successes of the small-format video revolution. The Village Voice wrote, "Leave it to a Canadian to revolutionize television." The Toronto Star called Channel Zero, "A mind blowing trip, one neither CNN nor 60 Minutes would ever take." In 1997, Marshall produced the provocative series The Electronic Eye: Canada as a Surveillance Society for the CBC's The National and consulted CNN Chairman Tom Johnson on the creation of a youth-based global news network.
Since co-founding Guerrilla News Network in the summer of 2000, Stephen has directed over 15 short documentaries, many of which have been selected for film festivals around the world. In 2002, his Crack the CIA won its category at the Sundance Film Festival. Later that year, he was tapped by Interscope Records to direct animated videos for rappers Eminem and 50 Cent. His controversial music video, Closer, directed for UK's Soulsavers was selected for RESFest 2004.
In 2004, he wrapped production on two feature films: BattleGround: 21 Days on the Empire's Edge, a doc feature he shot, directed and edited about the American occupation of Iraq, and This Revolution, a political thriller starring Rosario Dawson, set at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York. BattleGround won the Silver Hugo for Best Doc at the 2004 Chicago International Film Festival and This Revolution went on to premiere at Sundance 05. His first book, True Lies, co-authored with GNN's Anthony Lappe was published by Penguin/Plume in October 2004.
Over the span of his career, Stephen has traveled and worked in over sixty countries.
