Human sacrifice	“While documentation of the widespread existence of Satanic human sacrifice cults is lacking, evidence of other forms of systematic human sacrifice is available. Two examples in modern history are the Catholic Inquisition, a human sacrifice cult of a religious-theological nature, and the Third Reich, a human sacrifice cult of a military-political nature. (In calling the Inquisition and the Third Reich cults, I am using the word in a broad, informal, and unscholarly sense, to mean an organized group driven by a well-elaborated theological doctrine, which for the Nazis was Aryan racial mysticism.) The fact that the Catholic Inquisition and the Third Reich were both run by middle-class, Caucasian, educated individuals from Judaeo-Christian cultures suggests that it is psychologically possible for ordinary middle-class citizens to be perpetrating such crimes in North America today, especially given the high level of violence in contemporary Western societies.”	Colin Ross	1995
Psychopathy/Psychopathy and gender	“For mothers, presenting the facade of ordinary, devoted maternal care provides an invaluable subterfuge for abuse.”	Anna Motz	2016
Psychopathy/Psychopathy and staged events	“It is only beneath the surface, well hidden from view, that darker tendencies lie.”	Robert Hare Paul Babiak
