| The Dreaming Time: Anatomy of a Cover-Up |
I only found it myself recently, but wanted to share because I feel this case needs to be more well known. If you type "John Van Meter case" into Google, you will be met with close to zero results relating to the case itself. There's about 4 websites / news outlets that reported on this case, which basically means none of the national mainstream media news outlets reported anything.
Anyway, enough about that. Here are the basic details of what apparently happened. John "Homer" Van Meter, a self employed logger from Wisconsin, was driving back from a conference in Sonoma County California (in fall 2004) and happened to notice a convoy of cars driving into the woods. He went to investigate and saw something very disturbing taking place.
Van Meter confronted a group of people in the wooded area that were performing some kind of sick satanic ritual on a kidnapped women. He successfully saved the women from her terrible ordeal but was shot several times in the process. Shooting back at his attackers, he apparently shot and killed a number of them, and wounded a few others. When he reported the incident to the Police it went nowhere, and ultimately ended with HIM being charged for filing a false Police report. How do they explain the gunshots Van Meter received? They said he shot himself.
Around 1 and a half years later, Van Meter claims some of the men he wounded in the 2004 incident found out his identity and came back for revenge. A shoot-out ensued, and while John managed to shoot some of his attackers, he himself was shot 5 times. Where this incident took place is a very rural area, so he was lucky to be saved by someone who just happened to be driving by. Again, John "Homer" Van Meter reported this incident to the Police, and yet again, they came to the same conclusion as they did with the first incident. That he had shot himself.
Video: Human Sacrifice Gone Wrong. The late Ted Gunderson (Former FBI agent - Death linked to possible arsenic poisoning) discusses details about the case. Please note: Before you press play. Some parts of this story are quite graphic and will be disturbing to some people to listen to. It's nothing too bad, but just though I'd give you a warning beforehand in case you're sensitive to such things.
Even though it was proven that he was shot with several different guns / bullets, and his car was turned into Swiss Cheese. John went to trial and the courts came to the conclusion that Van Meter made the whole story up and he was sentenced to a short jail term of 14 days. Add to that a two thousand five hundred dollar fine, and a years probation.
Too scared to give evidence in person, the women whom John saved in the first incident apparently wrote a letter for the court (which is read out by Ted Gunderson in the video above), that explained her ordeal, and John's involvement in saving her from her Satanic kidnappers. But the letter was never officially used in the trial. After doing some research, I think that John Van Meter either has one of the wildest imaginations ever, and loves shooting himself for attention, or he is telling the truth and the powers that shouldn't be did a great job in covering everything up and making him look like a crazy fantasist. He's crazy, nothing to see here folks. Where have we heard that one before..

In my opinion there's definitely some kind of cover up at play in this strange case. If you watch the video above, Ted Gunderson claims that Van Meter told him that one of the men who he shot in the first incident, where he rescued the women from almost certain death, told him that they have the Police and FBI "In our hip pocket here, if you kill me you'll live in a 10 x 10 cell for the rest of your life". Could satanic ritual abuse (devil worshippers) actually be a much bigger problem than most people are aware of? Are there individuals and organisations involved that have the power and influence to manipulate law enforcement, courts and get the media to print what best suits their agenda, such as to keep the truth in the dark. There very well could be.
This is a scary but very interesting case. John wrote a book about his ordeal called: Amazon US link - The Dreaming Time: Anatomy of a Cover-Up (pictured above) (UK link to the book) (Canada). The woman who John saved is now in hiding. If this is in fact all true, she was extremely lucky to survive. It makes you wonder how many didn't live to tell the tale. Do you know how many people, including children, go missing every year in just the USA alone. It's well over half a million a year. Makes you wonder what percentage of those "missing" people may have suffered the same fate as the woman in this story was no doubt destined to meet if she wasn't saved.
