Painted Black: From Drug Killings to Heavy Metal : The Alarming True Story of How Satanism Is Terrorizing Our Communities

Rating:
Summary: A Book of False Information.
Review: I found that this book had information which is false to the religion of Satanism. Though not a Satanist myself, Ive studied the religion... What this book describes are more or less teenagers out to cause a bit of havoc, and just have fun in their own way. This book is very uninformative and biased, I cant recommend it.

Summary: The truth hurts
Review: I know quite a bit about Satanism. Carl has actually only touched the outer edges of this subject. I have actually met Carl since he wrote this book and his knowledge has expanded greatly. Unfortunately those who write to expose this subject matter are often harassed beyond the general populations ability to comprehend, because the practioners behind the scenes wish to remain anonymous. Yes, there are gangs that adopt practices after seeing a movie or reading a story or playing dungeons and dragons, etc. However, this problem is much more prevalent than most wish to acknowledge. If you want to know what is going on behind the "news" this is a good starter read. Other books such as "Bloodlines of the Illuminati", "Thanks for the Memories, the truth has set me Free", "A Nation Betrayed", books by David Icke, "Cheque Mate, the Game of Princes", "Michelle Remembers", "Deadly Deception" "MK", "The New World Order" by A. Ralph Epperson, "Why Johnny Can't Come Home", "The Franklin Cover-Up" are also excellent resources (I have read or spoken with the authors of these books).

Summary: Misinformation and Finger Pointing
Review: This book is a quickly thrown together, very poorly researched attack on a subculture that is not understood. The "Satanic" threat is just a bunch of idiotic, inbred, trashy teens from small towns that think that its cool to kill a dog to get power. There is a growing movement of people, me included, that with intelligence and carefull political manuevering, are trying to make the United States a better place for non-Christians. I am Buddhist, and when people find that out, they react in horror or don't understand it. But we have freedom of religion in this country. And this stupid, ignorant book, written probably for quick profit by a greaseball that knows a lot of "god-fearing" people will react to their xenophobia, is just not worth your reading time, unless you want to laugh, and believe me, I got quite a few belly laughs from this one!

Summary: worth reading
Review: Unfortunately it seems that Carl Raschke's book has fallen into the hands of the people that he has written about and now they are writing reviews. Painted black is insightful as well as informative look at the upswing in Satanism and the peculiarly unintelligent members of the cults (please see previous review). I have never met Carl Raschke, but it seems that he has a keen insight into the working of these cults and how they are infiltrating into our society. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the growing problem of satanic cults in this country. You will find the book informative and helpful.
