Really interesting. His story is very distinct. This man went through the types of deprivation at a very early age in life. It made it much easier for him to aspire to find out what was beyond flesh. And he found it. What he and others are telling people, is that you don't have to find it; you just have to realize it. Consciousness. We don't have to find it. We have to realize it. There's a big difference between the two.
Well done Damien. You’ve become the truest of high teachers 🙏 I’m happy to be a long time supporter of the Southern Poverty Law Conference. I pray that horrors like what you went through may someday be abolished forever. Thanks to Eddie Vedder for championing truth and justice through the platform his art has created.
So great 2 see Eddie Vedder in this interview..supporting Damien..who is the most amazing man..esp. considering what all he's been through in his life. What a testimonial 4 the rest of us! 🙂🙂💕💕
Just because you speak a lot does not mean you don't listen. Just please focus how Eddie is looking at Danien and Eddie also waits to speak after Danien is finished speaking.
Damien's roundabout way of returning to ceremonial magic after exploring techniques of the far East reminds me of Jung's path too. Jung came to the conclusion that, ultimately, the Western mind is fitted for the Western path - which has it's roots in the Near and Middle East. My foray into Eastern techniques was useful inasmuch as it let me know what will not work for me.
@@DEadSpaCE211 Shame it has such a sado masochistic blood soaked reputation though. The Arkansas state attorneys and police also think its their book ......👍😇 In fact , most of Uncle Sam's one party state (also known as "God's Own Cuntry" ) and "Our fine Military" swears by it .
@@PAULLONDEN tell me what doesn’t have a blood soaked reputation? You do realize all of humanity’s history up until now was conquering, pillaging, and mass genocide over and over again. Humanity just now over thousands if not millions of years has became “civil”. But even now we are not “civil” just barbaric in another form. No exscuses for the Bible, but understand that was the way of life for humanity. Mass genocide will happen again but this time on a scale that is unimaginable because of technology.
@@jacelo That's a sensible evaluation. It was merely a description of the then present times. Which doesn't excuse it though. Especially when people still subscribe to it. Who wants a life guide with all this blood and gore ? Unless it serves a purpose for people to see their own misery in perspective. The same reason why lots of people like to read bad news.
@@DEadSpaCE211 the bible is not magical. It is the miraculous truth revealed to the world through the power of GOD, Yahweh, Yeshua Hamaschiach. People can try to use it unrighteously in rituals or w.e. but the lord will judge every one of us. Let Jesus come into your life fully and God will give you ETERNAL LIFE, Praise God
hes aware of the Bible, and knows about the significance of Jesus. Its actually a majority of Christians that have misinterpreted what Jesus was trying to teach us.
Absolutely wonderful interview. I think the guidance I've been seeking has just been discovered. Simply poetic. Thank you Eddie Vedder and Damien Echols. One love.
Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world, I can listen to Damien talk forever. Can't wait to get the book in the mail and keep hoping that he one day will visit Oslo, Norway again.
Har han vært i Norge? Og BTW, for en fjott denne «zz» personen som har kommentert til deg er 🤦🏼♀️ Virker som det er noen få folk med en agenda som kommenterer på en haug av disse videoene.
@ 18:07 cracks me up because I bought ‘High Magik’ as my first audio book. I have always been the a**h*%#* person to tell people that reading is more important than listening to an Audiobook. Then I listened to High Magik via audiobook and and audiobook changed my life. So funny to learn that Damian recorded it first from his voice. Information is information, does not matter where it comes from.
I watched all the docs; thought they were innocent. I heard the evidence omitted, heard Damiens 5150 records, heard about Misskelly's 5 separate confessions.....I think they did it.
Many people did more than “watch all the docs” and decide they were innocent. If you did not experience the Satanic Panic you will not understand that period in time. 5 of my friends, including my first love, were demonized as Satanists in 1991/high school and kicked out to “save other students”. Why? Because they listened to metal and punk and sometimes wore black concert t-shirts. If you were a different boy in any way you were a target. I’m around the same age as Damien. Teens in the 80s were targeted but it overall it was a bit more tame. By the time you got into the 90s some people wanted to squash and seriously punish.any sense of teen rebellion. I live in the south. I heard about their case as soon as it happened. I followed from the start and nothing about it sat right. The fact that kids are most often the victims of crimes at the hands of someone they know well was completely ignored in order to blame monsters/demons/satanists that were kids themselves. DNA evidence has repeatedly only been found on the step fathers of the boys. Many still want to ignore it, and they have allowed the actual murderer(s) to walk for decades. I have been studying the Satanic Panic almost my entire life, particularly the pseudoscientific repressed/recovered memory psychotherapy craze that started and drove it. (Note: Politically I have always been on the left and I have hyper focused on left wing involvement in the panic. There was a lot more than most think. The recovered memory movement was a significant left wing/new age event. I differ from Damien here because new age beliefs also resulted in incredible harm and I am just as leery but I note the difference in someone getting by and someone going over the edge.) RM pseudoscience, new age woo and SRA conspiracies that had both religious fundamentalism and a pseudo postmodernist “post truth” vein, resulted in countless training seminars. It came with radical feminist demands to “believe the victim” that actually involved believing the most absurd and humanly impossible accusation in the room. Case in point… The boys bodies were in water/in the woods/in the elements for hours before they were found. The fact that no one considered this shows how far gone investigators were due to these horrible and conspiratorial training seminars. They decided 3 teenage boys had a special satanic ritual tool made that left a specific set of scratches on the bodies, as opposed to thinking about marks left by wildlife in the area. Turtles left the marks. Not a satanic scratching tool. This was pervasive during the Satanic Panic. Physical evidence did not exist - never matched the claims in 99.9% of cases. Reality was not welcome. If you are continuing to deny it in spite of DNA evidence in this case; and repeatedly ignored requests to do more DNA testing, it’s your own idiotic fault.
My Dad was preacher in the Prisons, and I inherited one of his Bible's when he died. I keep Damien's book on top of it. Much Love and Respect from Seattle💙This evening was magical indeed.
June Smith Read 1 Corinthians 4:4 to understand that chant, it's satanic. Damien is an admirer and student of the magician and satanist Aleister Crowley.
When he got to around 30 minutes and mentioned the words holographic/Matrix I was amazed. I say that to myself always that I live in a holographic world and my thoughts are instructions to form my environment. Quantum Witch or just a person playing with the energy.
This is exactly the thing i am into also. I believe we live in a simulation ( the matrix theory i guess you would call it) . Ive never heard of the thought process giving you instructions for your environment. I totally get it and love how you put it. I 100% believe that now. Thank you for introducing me to another way of thinking ;-)
@WM3 Deception thank you, i appreciate the kind words. I have studied both sides of the story. Books for him, and books against him. So i could get the full effect of the story from both sides
This is far more informative than I expected, I'm just now getting familiar with his story even though I'm his age and remember the headlines, but I think he may practice exactly what the fuck he preaches, very, very interesting.
Wow... I'm so blown away by how much intelligence it takes to regurgitate Crowley... He's so smart and inspirational. I love pretentious children of Satan. Eternal damnation is really something to strive for. Tell me more..
This was nice, but I would have liked to hear Damien talk more about his department of expertise than prison or wm3 stuff. Eddie seems like such a kind and wonderful person.
That was actually a rather thoughtless comment, it is all relevant to the event and the person he was with here. I will correct myself to keep record of my faulty thought process, rather than just delete the comment.
@@morgankelly9725 hahaha, it is really funny how ignorant people are. All 3 did nothing. People just don't just get out of prison for nothing. (yes, i know they did an Alford Plea. the court made them in order to get out. there is no real reason why. thats just how it works in Ak) There was evidence that they were not the killers; there WAS evidence against Terry Hobbs. Even the FAMILIES of the murdered children don't think that the 3 did it now. Damien is the nicest and most caring person who went through hell for absolutely nothing. Ive done research; Ive read his book, Ive read books that are against him. So i know what I'm talking about. All of you religious nut jobs and ignorant nut jobs are just that. NUT JOBS. Do actual research.
This is for you Wesley Estes, just so you don't wind up being one of the uneducated ones who is now increaslingly in the miniority: ruclips.net/video/-1h_EOV5xZ8/видео.html .
5/7/92. E. Arkansas Mental Health Center: Client admits to having been suspended seven times this past semester for initiating fights at school and starting fires. States in one fight he almost gouged out the victim’s eyes. (29). 6/1/92 - 6/25/92. Committed to Charter Hospital of Little Rock: Admits to a history of violence and attempting to scratch out the eyes of a classmate. There were major concerns that Damien was exhibiting disturbed thinking. He has a history of extreme physical aggression toward others. It was felt that he needed to be temporarily removed from his environment to provide protection for him and protection for others. ( 92, 188). Damien states, “I burn myself with lighters. I have huffed gas and paint, used speed, marijuana, glue, and alcohol.” (232). Psychosocial Assessment: Patient appeared to be sniffing the air around him as if he were responding to an external stimulus. He also cut his eyes in one direction or the other; may have been experiencing auditory hallucinations. (237). Verbalized concern that there are surveillance cameras behind his mirror and under his desk. Quite paranoid, drawing symbols. Damien definitely bears watching. ( 281, 297). Damien states, “If he (girlfriend’s father) had hit her, I would have blown him away. Next time I will eliminate that person.” (295). Damien also threatened to kill police officers. (366). Mother concerned that son “not learning to deal with anger and rages.” Mother said Damien might be responding to outside stimulation, voiced fear that “son may be crazy.” (301). Psychological Report: The behavior of this youngster is characterized by impulsive hostility...the desire to gain power and demean others springs from animosity and a wish to vindicate past grievances. This teenager believes that past degradations may be undone by provoking fear and intimidation in others. Cool and distant, this youth demonstrates little or no compassion for others.

Patient denies suicidal or homicidal ideation. However, in talking with family members, they state that he made it quite clear that he had thoughts of harming other people, i.e. was going to cut his mother’s throat and made verbal threats to his father in the emergency room. (104). Because of Damien’s threats, both parents do not want him to return to their home. They are frightened of him and what he can do, not only to them but to the two other children who reside in the home. Damien is to return to Arkansas by bus. (150). 9/14/92 - 9/28/92. Readmitted to Charter Hospital. While in Oregon, Damien made a plan to “slash my parents’ throats and eat them alive.” Damien believes that he is a vampire and does worship the devil. Has made several statements indicating that he has a desire to harm others. He admitted to sucking the blood out of a peer’s neck. (87, 374, 375). Stated he had attempted suicide before and “wasn’t worried about trying again, because I know I can come back.” (377) Discharged 9/28/92. Aftercare to be arranged by T. Deaton, Dr. Gallien/M. Wilson.

People will remember me.” (50). 1/25/93: Speaks of rituals, drinking blood, more involved in demonology. Damien explained that he obtains his power by drinking blood of others. He typically drinks the blood of a sexual partner or of a ruling partner. This is achieved by biting or cutting. He states, “It makes me feel like a god.” He wants very much to be all powerful. He wants very much to be in total control. (52) Damien relates that a spirit is now living with him. This is reportedly a spirit of a woman who was killed by her husband.

(61 and callahan.8k.com/wm3/ebtrial/jmoneypenny.html) 5/5/93 P.M.: Christopher Byers, Stevie Branch, and Michael Moore are murdered.
I have a curiosity towards what results would occur, if the prisoners in solitary in one US prison were given instruction in Goetic ritual. What they would experience & what changes would they effect?
Vedder's reverential coveting of Echols prison souvenirs is creepy stan behaviour. I wonder if he, like other "oddball" celebs, also has a Gacy painting in his collection. Interesting also is Echols admission that occult practices were his main focus while in jail...that contradicts what the defence framed as a passing fad from a typical teen.
@@brianmaiden1185 According to this article he's quite an accomplished manipulator as well. All that acting experience from his youth and his ability to create and control a narrative would definitely help frame Echols image. Never been a PJ fan so all this was news to me. He sounds like a pretentious arsehole according to the statements and observations of the sources. Funny that because Echols presents the same persona.
The Hermetic Bothehood of Luxor, The Rosicrucians, The Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mizraim, The Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn, The Ordo Templi Orientis, The Fraternity of Saturn, CIA... these are some of my favorite things...
Damien, your mind is stronger than steel, I have never seen anything like this in my life, you are an example of how we should never be nervous about small things. Considering what you went through.
What I wrote is not a consolation just for myself, I meant it honestly. I thought the judicial system in Serbia is so corrupt and unjust, but in America it is not far behind unfortunately . Sorry for my English. Wish you all the best, Team Damien.
He's a sociopath so it doesn't take much to make him a good liar. I work in a prison, by the way. And if he'd lie about his "medical condition" which he DEFINITELY did, then he's perfectly capable of lying about other things. There was a brief period of time after the INCOMPLETE Hollywood documentaries came out (that didn't contain a lot of the information the JURIES had been privy to..........why did the documentaries intentionially leave things out ?), where people thought there was a miscarriage of justice. But now, MOST people that look at the FACTS in the case know that he's guilty. Alot of cases in the States are settled because it's not worth the time and money to try them or REtry them and/or the perpetrators have already done a lot of prison time. In this particular case, the WM3 thought it would be in THEIR best interest to take the Alford plea. The Alfrod plea means they took a guilty plea.
Many of the parents of the victims had problems; two were drug addicts, one had an arrest for being drunk and disorderly I believe (if you understand the demographics of the area these people were from, it makes sense, :)). But one of the victims had normal parents, who were still married/in a stable relationship, and didn't seem to be so dysfunctional in And these people; Michael Moore's parents, believe the three are guilty. This is what that Michael Moore's father had to say: Father of WM3 murder victim certain who killed 3 boys BY TODD MOORE Guest Columnist I am the father of West Memphis triple murder victim Michael Moore. I am writing this in response to your editorial in the June 6 edition of The Sun titled “Justice Unserved.” It has always been my opinion that justice was served when Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were convicted in 1994 for the brutal murder of my son and his friends. The three men who slaughtered my son were convicted by two juries that found them guilty in 1994. Despite this, the Arkansas Supreme Court generously granted the murderers the opportunity for a new evidentiary hearing to be held Dec, 5, 2011, to show evidence they claimed proved their innocence. They could have been granted a new trial to prove these claims of innocence. Instead of presenting their “new evidence” in open court last December, they opted to plead guilty to the murders in August 2011 in exchange for time served. Second District Prosecuting Attorney Scott Ellington agreed to accept the defense’s plea offer for vague reasons we still don’t understand. Family members learned of the deal only at the last minute. The district attorney was new to the case. But whatever the rational, this continued to make the convicts guilty as a matter of law. The defense team avoided sharing the results of the tests of everything with us by preemptively entering a guilty plea for their clients. Thanks to the plea deal, we may never know exactly what the defense found when the evidence was retested. Absence of DNA evidence does not prove the West Memphis Three (WM3) are innocent. The killers washed most of the evidence away in the water- filled ditch where they drowned my son. There was plenty of other evidence to convict them in 1994 without positive DNA. Most murderers are convicted without DNA evidence. The defense attorneys for the WM3 had nearly 20 years to find “the real killer” and failed to do so. After nearly two decades and untold millions in donated funds spent, the best they could do was find a hair that may or may not have belonged to Terry Hobbs, step- father of victim Stevie Branch. It was allegedly found on a shoelace used to tie my son. It has never been proven to actually belong to Terry Hobbs. Even if it was Terry Hobbs’ hair, that fact would prove nothing. Our sons were best friends, and my child spent considerable time in Terry Hobbs’s home and could have picked up the hair on his shoe. This would be “secondary transfer” and makes the hair of no probative value. The defense has even admitted as much. Terry Hobbs did not murder my son. No credible law enforcement official believes so. Neither did Mark Byers, Mr. Bojangles nor any of the other defense red herrings. Contrary to your editorial, it is not up to police or the prosecutor to continue to look for “the real killer.” The real killers were arrested and charged back in 1993, were found guilty in 1994 and then admitted their guilt in 2011 after getting a lucky break. To his credit, Prosecutor Ellington has stated many times that his door is open to any new leads and evidence presented to him by the WM3 defense teams. So far, nothing compelling enough to reopen the case has been presented to him. District Attorney Ellington stated as much the day your editorial appeared. This means despite the defense’s grandiose claims prior to the pleas, not one iota of credible evidence has been presented to show their clients’ innocence or even to view the convicted as anything less than what they are as a matter of law and as a matter-of fact: guilty. The WM3 defense team has been well-funded by numerous celebrities who were misinformed by the biased “Paradise Lost” documentaries. These one-sided films left out nearly all of the evidence that demonstrated the guilt of the WM3. They caused thousands of people to support the release of the convicted child killers with a very limited unndcrstanding of the actual facts of the case. Mr. Wessel, it appears that you, like so many others, got most of your misinformation about this case from these inaccurate documentaries. If you would take the time to dig a little deeper and actually read the case file documents, you would know that there was ample evidence to convict these three men for murdering my son. These documents are readily available on websites such as www.callahan.8k.com. Here are just a few examples of what was omitted from the documentaries: • Jessie Misskelley confessed to the crime at least five times to police, prosecutors, even his own attorneys with his hand on a Bible. Misskelley confessed the first time after less than four hours of police questioning. That questioning was done with permission from his father. He continued to repeatedly confess in the year that followed. • Damien Echols amassed a mental health record 500 pages long in the years immediately prior to the murders. In his own handwriting, he classified himself as a “homicidal, suicidal, schizophrenic, sociopath” just a months before he brutally murdered my son. • Read Damien Echols’ current Twitter account to discover his deep-seated interest in skulls and the occult. There he also recently described artwork depicting a man sawing off his own arm as “breathtaking.” In addition, Echols is obscenely profiting off the death of my son by selling his narcissistic books, promoting his self-serving movie, and tattooing murder groupies with his “mark.” For two hundred dollars, you can have this sociopath tattoo an “X” on your arm. These Twitter posts and money-making schemes are a slap in the face to me, my family and my dead son. • The movies omit the fact that these three men had no alibis. Damien Echols’ and Jessie Misskelley’s alibis completely fell apart on the stand in the 1994 trials. Jason Baldwin’s attorneys didn’t even bother to present an alibi. • Fibers consistent with a robe in Jason Baldwin’s home and a shirt in Damien Echols’ home were found on the victims. Blue candle wax found on Chris Byers’ shirt was consistent with candle wax found in Damien Echols bedroom. • The crime lab found that three different knots were used to hogtie the three victims with their own shoelaces. This points toward multiple killers rather than one killer. Witnesses say that Mr. Bojangles, the disoriented man near the crime scene that night, had a cast on one arm. No one person could have subdued and hogtied three energetic young boys-not Terry Hobbs and certainly not the one-armed Mr. Bojangles. • A knife that could have been used in the murders was found in a lake behind Baldwin’s home. It was a unique knife with a place hold a compass on the end that witnesses described as similar to one owned by Echols. • A car full of eyewitnesses placed Echols near the crime scene, covered with dirt, on the night of the murders. • Numerous friends, acquaintances and cell-mates came forward with tales of confessions from all three defendants. Throw out one or even several of those facts, and there would still be enough to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. I sat through those trials. The basic facts need to be put out there. Otherwise, it makes a mockery of my son’s short life. Todd Moore is the father of murder victim Michael Moore.

Indiana has some of the most lax gun laws in the country. Anyone in Chicago who wants one can just cross state lines. Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot have worked hard to stop gun violence.
Exactly, Chicago is terrible with gun violence and he just pointed out they have some of the stickiest gun laws 😂😂😂 why the hell is that a step in the right direction, it’s obviously the problem
Devils Adversary so let’s get rid of any gun laws and all problems will be solved. Maybe we can give guns to every k-6 student. I’m sure Fox News would approve. Would that be the answer?
@@frauddetector6129 lol....what happened to love your neighbors and treat them the way you'd like to be treated ? They say other people you judge are like mirrors you know....
@@annikatheresia7770 hard to love evil....keep enjoying your spiritual insight and lack of intelligence. I've awakes been perplexed by women who fall in love with murderers...
It was buddhism that helped bands like the Beatles be entrancing. Damien is saying that he would describe what he did was "like reiki" because utilizing energy doesn't make people jump to human sacrifice like saying "magic" does. Since when does magic automatically make people think of human sacrifice?
Unfortunately, ignorance and religious propaganda is to blame. Yes, the Druids of old did practice human/animal sacrifice, but you can find teachings in the Old Testament that instructed the Israelites to sacrifice animals. Abraham was going to offer his own son as a sacrifice, but chose to sacrifice an animal instead. Jews don't practice animal sacrifice, as their religion and culture has changed considerably since that period. Christians believe that Christ willingly offered himself as a sacrifice to pay the price of our sins. Sacrifice doesn't have to involve blood and death. Christians still practice sacrifice in the form of Lent, and many religions fast from food and alcohol for short periods as a sacrifice. Even in our materialistic world we hear of the sacrifices people make for their companies and the like.
@@dangerranger2233 it’s bright on stage when the stage lights are brighter. I’ve toured with bands. It’s not quite as dark as these two souls on stage. Pure evil. Keep worshipping false idols, fools.
Lemme know how that gun legislation works. Because so far it really hasn't done anything but take guns from non violent individuals that wish to protect themselves against the bad guys that get guns no matter the laws.
Sigh. You realize this "issue" isn't even interesting anymore. It's so tiresome. But you're sharing, so I will too. Everyone's so charged up, so riled up about being "right" even if it causes everyone to be dead. You know what? Go buy up your guns, join your NRA (what's left of it) and form your militias. You're going to anyway. Even if you have all the evidence to prove you wrong, even if it costs you your life, it's what you want. Maybe you're well practiced and trained. The truth is the vast majority of people, with or without training, are not competent to use one for self defense. Guns really aren't useful for all that much. There are far deadlier things for both criminal and honest citizen to use. Meanwhile, more people go insane with frustration. More shootings. More lives pointlessly lost. Gun or no, it could be you one day. And you have to be oh so fast and oh so alert for a gun to be any help anyway. A lot of it is in timing and circumstance. Do you really think that being armed increases your chances of survival that much more? What if, Goodness forbid, whatever attack you're trying to contend with is explosive, chemical, or pathogenic in nature? Because those kinds of attacks are the far bigger threat and carrying a weapon won't help with that. And even considering that, are you sure you're quick and accurate enough to win a shootout with a sniper? So few are. Vanishingly few. Maybe you are. Are you at your best at every moment? Because you would have to be for it to matter. This whole thing is just pointless. Your passion for this issue is a waste of neurons and energy. Multiply you by the population of the United States. This whole insane country, preferring to die rather than read and learn from history, look at current statistics and let the data determine truth, or even think. I mourn your stillborn intellect, conscience, and common sense. But that all has been dead for a long time, clearly. So whatever you do with your empty shell is of no consequence. I'm not saying banning anything is a complete solution. It might not even matter. Truth be told, I don't even want to talk about that part. Your programmed response to something said about a crisis is the far more disturbing thing here. There is so much more wrong with the world than just a few policies or laws. And you illustrate it. You're a machine, responding as you are programmed. You have no soul. You aren't helping anything or making yourself look principled or intelligent. You act like you are indoctrinated because you are. And there is nothing more to you at all. So you wasted my and everyone else's time and your own by your comment. Now I did too by actually commenting honestly on it. So hooray for free speech. After all of this, you are still hollow, still molded by minds more focused than your own, and still irrelevant. And you always will be.
Ok this looks like something worth that audible trial, I'm in that boat of I hate wasting 5 hours of RUclips and thinking I gotta look at the news every 2 minutesm I have the free time now to take back more control. Plan to buy it in Kindle if I actually make this a priority I'm just not gonna assume I'm going to do this that's a trap I know now.
He said that his friend had a low IQ when confessed the murder. Is that mean that a person who is not that bright will confess a murder that was never committed? That’s just nonsense. On the contrary people who are not very intelligent always tell the truth anyway, they tell things how they are.
JusticeForTheSilenced so every unintelligent person out there will confess a murder then? And if he was so thick why the police and judges would take his confession serious then? Sure they would have laughed at him.
@@ALEXMGFASHION Stop acting though your opinion (an uneducated one at that) is fact, again, do some research, there are hundreds of documented cases and studies that show that people with a low IQ are more susceptible to give a false confession. Clearly you have never been investigated or interrogated.
@WM 3 Guilty Again, I have a degree in this subject. I said absolutely nothing about Misskelley or any of his "confessions" I said there are hundreds of cases of people with low IQs confessing to crimes they haven't committed. Learn to read before you call someone else a nitwit. And find a new obsession.
@WM 3 Guilty for the record 85 is still low and if you did some research on the subject you would see that people who make false confessions have been known to do it several times. Several cases I worked when I did the Innocence Clinic in law school have had that happen. And let me get this straight, this doctor who had his license revoked was only credible when he said Jessie had a normal IQ?

An Alford plea isn’t the same as a guilty plea-it is a guilty plea. Better stated, it’s a kind of guilty plea, one that shares similarities with the “no contest” plea. To be more precise, an Alford plea is a guilty plea by a defendant who claims to be innocent. A no-contest (or “nolo contendere”) plea is a plea by a defendant who accepts punishment but doesn’t admit guilt. Both kinds of plea result in conviction. Despite claiming innocence, a typical Alford defendant considers the evidence too strong to go to trial. To that kind of defendant, the chance of a jury conviction and a tougher sentence is enough to plead guilty. Courts treat Alford pleas differently than standard guilty pleas. An Alford plea is similar to a no-contest plea, but there can be important distinctions between those two.
@@junesmith4159 I got into a big long debate with a guy who claimed to work in a prison and that he was lying about forgetting how to eat with a fork. We know that he spent 18 years on Death Row, but for some reason people think that because THEY think he's a devil worshiping sociopath, every word he says is a lie for sympathy- and even if he was, human beings are creatures of habit, they don't give maximum security prisoners eating utensils (for reasons that should be obvious to even the dumbest morons) and Death Row is as maximum as maximum security gets........ so why it would be hard to believe that someone who spent 18 years eating w/o utensils, and without having access to direct sunlight would adapt to that situation just baffles me. You want to debate the evidence that's fine, but so far all I have seen from them are vitriol and deflections.
I have hereditary vision problems and have to wear dark glasses to cut glare which is blinding and causes migraines. It is absolutely necessary for some.
Why did he start glorifying strict gunlaws in Chicago??? If your trying to say strict gunlaws work then I think Chicago is the LAST example you wanna give 🤦♂️ this video has nothing to do with that, shut up
I just finished watching the Oxygen documentary, and these guys need to be exonerated once and for all, without question. This is such a miscarriage of justice - not only for Damien, Jason and Jessie, but for those three little boys. Nobody's ever bothered to find out who really killed them. It's horrific on all sides.
I cant help but think that it was either some fundamentalists christian people with sick and twisted repressed fantasies that killed those kids, or maybe even someone who was directly involved in the investigation. Its interesting that the only suspects that investigators looked into, were a group of troubled teens who were allegedly involved in occult practices and some mysterious black man that was supposedly seen around the time that the boys were murdered. It seems that prejudice ruled the case from start to finish, but i almost get the impression that someone was taking advantage of that pre existing prejudice in the community in order to draw attention away from the real culprit. In those circumstances the culprit would likely be someone who was close to one of the investigators, and was able to influence the thinking internally, or otherwise it could have been someone who was literally working within the confines of the law.
Yeah they had their chance to be exonerated also to be paid a vast sum of money up to $9mil for a false convictions.It would have also allowed an investigation to continue..However they instead pleaded for the alford.. as there was enough evidence to convict them again..I hope one day they have enough balls to actually come out and say thank you..I fking fooled all of you sheep..That would be awesome.
@@nettya151 Nah they never proved their innocence.No alibi,confession 6 times,even after the conviction of the only one who had a shred of remorse.The guilty charge still stands..The satanist are out and about and people are defending them who clearly have not investigated it themselves,just watched a tv drama that was funded by other proclaimed satanist.
Damien is very open and down to earth and still retains a lot of his small town personality he doesn't strike me as overly cerebral or particularly intelligent but what does make it through is his honesty which seems to make up for whatever he may be lacking in his education. I enjoyed his talk and I wish him the best.
You know Damien comes from very humble beginnings right? He dropped out of HS and was trying to get disability benefits. That was the “norm” for Damien bc of his upbringing. I highly doubt if anyone in his family is a college graduate. I’m not being ugly but it’s doubtful his parents even graduated high school. Have you seen any of the documentaries about this case? The WM3 were in Damien’s words “bottom of the barrel poor white trash”. He must be incredibly intelligent. I doubt family annihilator Chris Watts could effectively use words like “eloquent” or “concise” if his life depended on it. I would bet money Watts doesn’t know what the phrase “tongue in cheek” means. Damien’s experienced almost a decade in solitary confinement. He taught HIMSELF how to speak proper English. He’s 100% self educated. I wrote this comment before Damien addressed that nobody in his family of origin is educated. My point is, whether you like him personally or not, he’s an extremely smart man. His vocabulary is far better than the average person.
Resurrect his career? Wow you are a fucking retard of the highest order😂😂😂😂 Eddie vedder is the greatest rock star of all time. The way he projects his barratone voice with an organic release of emotion is unparalleled. The doors asked him to induct them into the hall of fame and perform with them on that night. John densmore said they would not perform without him. he has earned the respect , love and graced the stage with The who, bruce springsteen, stevie nicks, glen hansard, tom petty, neil young, coldplay, chris cornell, the rolling stones, R.E.M to name just a few and there are many more and in these moments he delivers earth shattering performances. He covered u2s elevation and One at their kennedy center honors ceremony and left the band speachless. he was asked to induct the Ramones, R.E.M. , neil young and the doors as mentioned earlier into the hall of fame. He has done all of this while climbing and jumping off scaffolds singing porch and gave the greatest unplugged perfomance to boot. If you doubt any of this you are just hating on reality. look it all up on yoitube its right here✌ wow you are a fucking idiot beyond compare you fucking 2 bit tool
the knife was a key piece of evidence that people overlook, which i think is the key to the case(besides damien being proven to be psychotic by a psychiatric profile). the one boy literally had a wound that fit the compass image on the bottom of the knife to the injury on his forehead perfectly thewm3revelations.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/the-lake-knife/ edit: as you may have guessed i just watched all three paradise lost docs and i flipped flopped between guilt and innocence, but this cemented my opinion of guilt.
Interesting how Damien mentions that he made Eddie Vedder listen to the hair metal band White Lion and they have this song... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Children_Cry Subtle hint?
I drove along Interstate 40 in West Memphis recently and the crime scene was totally altered--all the trees chopped down. The truck washing building is gone. I don't know if Echols is guilty or not but he's obviously full of anger for Christianity and walks on the dark side.
Chicago the city with more "gun-control" and yet the city with more crime ...... that make sense ! I guess more gun control for NOT to defend your self , and the criminals know it!!! good luck with that. DAMIEN , CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR FREEDOM, IT REALLY was unfair your experience, I am glad you are with a kind soul and people who help you , god bless them and you too.
Here's how I'd explain it. I'm from near Chicago. Chicago locks their town down. People caught with illegal weapons are punished severely. People don't get their illegal weapons IN Chicago. Because in Indiana, they have lax gun laws. Just 30 minutes away is Gary, Indiana. I have friends who folks would ID as THUGS who won't get gas at night in Gary. Gary is a weapons depot for the tri-state. That's how you get guns in Chicago. No across the board laws for the free sale of firearms to anonymous parties.
Jews created the Bible. They don't care about Jesus. They don't think Satan is bad. So why are so arrogant about your religion? It was created just 2000 thousand years ago. Jesus was condemned right? Just like Damien.
@@Kxz716 The Old Testament was written by The Jews, but the New was written by followers of Christ.. Satan not bad? Not sure what you've been reading, but tthat is fallacious..
TheDarkApex he was proven GUILTY in a court of law. Then, they got out on a technicality because of DNA evidence which was INCONCLUSIVE. It was years after, the bodies were in water, etc. I mean it was a total misrepresentation of justice to even try to look at it after so much time had passed and how badly the evidence was corrupted. . Everyone knew nothing would come of it.
@@dewiwilliams4821 not a silly sod just facing a sad reality.. Like honestly I think EV is just deceived but johnny depp? I think he knows.... absolutely..
There is no "knowing", thus you have proved yourself a silly sod. Honestly its sad either way, if WM3 are guilty then 3 murderers were set free, if innocent then 3 innocent men had 20 years of their life taken away, and of course in both scenarios those 3 poor little boys were murdered. No getting away from it, either way it is a sad reality, but the bottom line is nobody except the killer(s) knows the truth for sure. I personally find it terrifying how many sick people I am seeing who dare to call WM3 sick one sentence and then call for the blood of the WM3 the next, if they were guilty beyond reasonable doubt I could understand, but there is far too much doubt for that. That being said Echols could be guilty and have duped them all, I think it is very doubtful but possible. Btw, how can you make a claim like that about depp with zero evidence and conclude it is absolute? When is the last time you questioned your own sanity?
He isn’t that good but he got good enough to do it. I told him I knew his trick and he blocked me lol I do know his tricks. I have done transcendental meditation for years. I know how he did it. But took him long as hell and it ate him up.
I'd like the coward to at least apologize to the families for blowing them kisses and licking at them. No cops framed him on that shit. No type of man allows that to stand, regardless of wrongful (or not) conviction.
Healthy Fatima you mean when you couldn’t see that there was a big ass crowd full of people yelling at him when he was an 18 old kid (idhaf what anyone says...an 18 is not grown!) and on trial to be put to death for a brutal crime he didn’t commit? Yeah....he TOTALLY deserved prison for two decades and then to be ridiculed for the rest of his life for that 🙄
Ok well . Eddie what about these little boys 3 of em? You gonna find out who did it? After one of em confesses?Not only confessed but Confessed to castratIon as well as canabalism? But you get them out? Damien got himself out through high magik. Your nothing but a puppet
It would be nice if other wrongfully convicted could get this much celebrity endorsement....depp, rollins, vedder the list goes on. I wonder how he aligns his will and purpose after taking that Alfred plea...most would, dont get me wrong. But it was a definite soul sucking deal
The thing about a Polygraph is that it's up to the person who administers the polygraph to ask the correct questions. Otherwise the polygraph isn't an accurate way to determine if someone is being deceptive or not. The person who administered Damien's poly graph had apparently majorly fucked up with his question asking and just didn't tell anyone. This is why Polygraphs aren't really a viable way to determine someone's guilt.
Actually they are admissible in court and when administered properly are a very valuable tool for investigation. Keywords in that statement- when administered PROPERLY. The same people who said he failed ALSO said Vicki Hutchison passed........and we know she was lying.
@@junesmith4159 I actually studied law in college (I didn't go to law school but planned to, before having children) and while getting my Criminology degree I learned of this case, peer reviewing a classmate's thesis. Just a little on my background, I am only saying this so I don't come across pretentious..... Over the years Polygraphs have been in and out of court...are they reliable? Do their results influence juries? But ultimately the courts decided that each jurisdiction would ultimately decide whether or not to admit them.....and for the most part the only court system that does allow the results admitted into evidence are usually military tribunals of which the records are not public, unless of course they are made public.
He's not. Jessie Misskelley confessed several times, and not just to the police. He told his friend the day after the murders that he hurt some kids, and he was really upset about it. His dad's girlfriend heard him crying in his room and praying, he was later diagnosed with PTSD for a traumatic event. He confessed to the police in an interview that only lasted 2.5 hours. He confessed to his lawyers. He confessed to the prosecutor against his lawyers advise. He confessed to his cellmate while awaiting trial. He confessed to a lady who was trying to advocate for the wm3. I read the confession to the prosecutor and it was chilling.
@@marisad9856 That "confession" did not occur in an interview that only lasted 2.5 hours, he was there around 2.5 hours before he "confessed", the interview itself lasted hours and only a small fraction of it is recorded. Anyone who has any knowledge of Criminal investigation doesn't believe it because his "confessions" don't match the evidence and seem to change every time he "confesses"... it's been awhile since I studied the case so I don't remember all the details around the circumstances of those "confessions" but its obvious you did the same most people who think they are guilty did- believe that the police and prosecutors are honest and fair. People confessing to crimes they haven't committed is not a new phenomenon. There are literally thousands of cases where it has happened over and over......look.at how many people have confessed to killing the Black Dahlia or Jon Benet Ramsey.
Really interesting. His story is very distinct. This man went through the types of deprivation at a very early age in life. It made it much easier for him to aspire to find out what was beyond flesh. And he found it. What he and others are telling people, is that you don't have to find it; you just have to realize it. Consciousness. We don't have to find it. We have to realize it. There's a big difference between the two.
I'm not so sure about the 'easy' part.
This plato all over
Well done Damien. You’ve become the truest of high teachers 🙏 I’m happy to be a long time supporter of the Southern Poverty Law Conference. I pray that horrors like what you went through may someday be abolished forever. Thanks to Eddie Vedder for championing truth and justice through the platform his art has created.
Anyone here from TMG episode 3?

So great 2 see Eddie Vedder in this interview..supporting Damien..who is the most amazing man..esp. considering what all he's been through in his life. What a testimonial 4 the rest of us! 🙂🙂💕💕
I see a sad brainwashed pawn . Damion has Him straight up under a spell
You’re pathetic to call this guy an amazing man.
No satanic pedo is amazing.
Eddie is an excellent listener. Thank you Damien for your wisdom as well!
Really? He spoke as much as the interviewed person.
Just because you speak a lot does not mean you don't listen. Just please focus how Eddie is looking at Danien and Eddie also waits to speak after Danien is finished speaking.
Damien's roundabout way of returning to ceremonial magic after exploring techniques of the far East reminds me of Jung's path too. Jung came to the conclusion that, ultimately, the Western mind is fitted for the Western path - which has it's roots in the Near and Middle East. My foray into Eastern techniques was useful inasmuch as it let me know what will not work for me.
Allen Bennet left The Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn in order to fulfill his calling to lead a Buddhist Ashram.

@@DEadSpaCE211 Shame it has such a sado masochistic blood soaked reputation though.
The Arkansas state attorneys and police also think its their book ......👍😇
In fact , most of Uncle Sam's one party state (also known as "God's Own Cuntry" ) and "Our fine Military" swears by it .
@@PAULLONDEN tell me what doesn’t have a blood soaked reputation? You do realize all of humanity’s history up until now was conquering, pillaging, and mass genocide over and over again. Humanity just now over thousands if not millions of years has became “civil”. But even now we are not “civil” just barbaric in another form. No exscuses for the Bible, but understand that was the way of life for humanity. Mass genocide will happen again but this time on a scale that is unimaginable because of technology.
@@jacelo That's a sensible evaluation. It was merely a description of the then present times. Which doesn't excuse it though. Especially when people still subscribe to it. Who wants a life guide with all this blood and gore ? Unless it serves a purpose for people to see their own misery in perspective.
The same reason why lots of people like to read bad news.
@@DEadSpaCE211 the bible is not magical. It is the miraculous truth revealed to the world through the power of GOD, Yahweh, Yeshua Hamaschiach.

Then I listened to High Magik via audiobook and and audiobook changed my life. So funny to learn that Damian recorded it first from his voice. Information is information, does not matter where it comes from.

"A rising tide lifts all ships"
I watched all the docs; thought they were innocent. I heard the evidence omitted, heard Damiens 5150 records, heard about Misskelly's 5 separate confessions.....I think they did it.
It’s insane that he very possibly killed those children and he’s sitting there as a celebrity now being celebrated by other celebrities. Fkn sick
It's exhibit 500. Not 5150 dummy.
@@reubensane5539That means he's a badass
@@plutoneptune no that means you’re a Sociopath.
Many people did more than “watch all the docs” and decide they were innocent.
If you did not experience the Satanic Panic you will not understand that period in time.
5 of my friends, including my first love, were demonized as Satanists in 1991/high school and kicked out to “save other students”.
Why?
Because they listened to metal and punk and sometimes wore black concert t-shirts.
If you were a different boy in any way you were a target.
I’m around the same age as Damien. Teens in the 80s were targeted but it overall it was a bit more tame. By the time you got into the 90s some people wanted to squash and seriously punish.any sense of teen rebellion.
I live in the south. I heard about their case as soon as it happened. I followed from the start and nothing about it sat right.
The fact that kids are most often the victims of crimes at the hands of someone they know well was completely ignored in order to blame monsters/demons/satanists that were kids themselves.
DNA evidence has repeatedly only been found on the step fathers of the boys. Many still want to ignore it, and they have allowed the actual murderer(s) to walk for decades.
I have been studying the Satanic Panic almost my entire life, particularly the pseudoscientific repressed/recovered memory psychotherapy craze that started and drove it.
(Note: Politically I have always been on the left and I have hyper focused on left wing involvement in the panic. There was a lot more than most think. The recovered memory movement was a significant left wing/new age event. I differ from Damien here because new age beliefs also resulted in incredible harm and I am just as leery but I note the difference in someone getting by and someone going over the edge.)
RM pseudoscience, new age woo and SRA conspiracies that had both religious fundamentalism and a pseudo postmodernist “post truth” vein, resulted in countless training seminars. It came with radical feminist demands to “believe the victim” that actually involved believing the most absurd and humanly impossible accusation in the room.
Case in point…
The boys bodies were in water/in the woods/in the elements for hours before they were found. The fact that no one considered this shows how far gone investigators were due to these horrible and conspiratorial training seminars.
They decided 3 teenage boys had a special satanic ritual tool made that left a specific set of scratches on the bodies, as opposed to thinking about marks left by wildlife in the area. Turtles left the marks. Not a satanic scratching tool.
This was pervasive during the Satanic Panic. Physical evidence did not exist - never matched the claims in 99.9% of cases.
Reality was not welcome. If you are continuing to deny it in spite of DNA evidence in this case; and repeatedly ignored requests to do more DNA testing, it’s your own idiotic fault.
My Dad was preacher in the Prisons, and I inherited one of his Bible's when he died.
I keep Damien's book on top of it. Much Love and Respect from Seattle💙This evening was magical indeed.
Angel Mary Light gross
June Smith Read 1 Corinthians 4:4 to understand that chant, it's satanic. Damien is an admirer and student of the magician and satanist Aleister Crowley.
When he got to around 30 minutes and mentioned the words holographic/Matrix I was amazed. I say that to myself always that I live in a holographic world and my thoughts are instructions to form my environment. Quantum Witch or just a person playing with the energy.
This is exactly the thing i am into also. I believe we live in a simulation ( the matrix theory i guess you would call it) . Ive never heard of the thought process giving you instructions for your environment. I totally get it and love how you put it. I 100% believe that now. Thank you for introducing me to another way of thinking ;-)
@WM3 Deception thank you, i appreciate the kind words. I have studied both sides of the story. Books for him, and books against him. So i could get the full effect of the story from both sides

This is far more informative than I expected, I'm just now getting familiar with his story even though I'm his age and remember the headlines, but I think he may practice exactly what the fuck he preaches, very, very interesting.
Terrific interview.
Wow... I'm so blown away by how much intelligence it takes to regurgitate Crowley... He's so smart and inspirational. I love pretentious children of Satan. Eternal damnation is really something to strive for. Tell me more..
Rotten Jesus in hell
Celibacy is compulsory to avoid damnation. Married ppl can't avoid it.
Yeah.....I couldn't have said it Vedder.
Acid Tab Lloyd
That actually made me lol
This was nice, but I would have liked to hear Damien talk more about his department of expertise than prison or wm3 stuff. Eddie seems like such a kind and wonderful person.
That was actually a rather thoughtless comment, it is all relevant to the event and the person he was with here. I will correct myself to keep record of my faulty thought process, rather than just delete the comment.
aren't these lynchers in this section crazy???? They obviously didn't do it
@@morgankelly9725 hahaha, it is really funny how ignorant people are. All 3 did nothing. People just don't just get out of prison for nothing. (yes, i know they did an Alford Plea. the court made them in order to get out. there is no real reason why. thats just how it works in Ak) There was evidence that they were not the killers; there WAS evidence against Terry Hobbs. Even the FAMILIES of the murdered children don't think that the 3 did it now. Damien is the nicest and most caring person who went through hell for absolutely nothing. Ive done research; Ive read his book, Ive read books that are against him. So i know what I'm talking about. All of you religious nut jobs and ignorant nut jobs are just that. NUT JOBS.

@@sp1200M3D WELL SAID !!!
I have a curiosity towards what results would occur, if the prisoners in solitary in one US prison were given instruction in Goetic ritual. What they would experience & what changes would they effect?
Vedder's reverential coveting of Echols prison souvenirs is creepy stan behaviour. I wonder if he, like other "oddball" celebs, also has a Gacy painting in his collection. Interesting also is Echols admission that occult practices were his main focus while in jail...that contradicts what the defence framed as a passing fad from a typical teen.
Vedder's a total fake:

@@brianmaiden1185 According to this article he's quite an accomplished manipulator as well. All that acting experience from his youth and his ability to create and control a narrative would definitely help frame Echols image. Never been a PJ fan so all this was news to me. He sounds like a pretentious arsehole according to the statements and observations of the sources. Funny that because Echols presents the same persona.
Damien is very intelligent, the 17 years stripped from him will always be a scar to him. The government has a lot of making up to do.
High Magick is a remarkable book. Well done.

well said. Team Damien!
What I wrote is not a consolation just for myself,

@@Marko..895 youre awesome😁😊💙
He's a sociopath so it doesn't take much to make him a good liar. I work in a prison, by the way. And if he'd lie about his "medical condition" which he DEFINITELY did, then he's perfectly capable of lying about other things.
There was a brief period of time after the INCOMPLETE Hollywood documentaries came out (that didn't contain a lot of the information the JURIES had been privy to..........why did the documentaries intentionially leave things out ?), where people thought there was a miscarriage of justice. But now, MOST people that look at the FACTS in the case know that he's guilty.
Alot of cases in the States are settled because it's not worth the time and money to try them or REtry them and/or the perpetrators have already done a lot of prison time. In this particular case, the WM3 thought it would be in THEIR best interest to take the Alford plea. The Alfrod plea means they took a guilty plea.
Many of the parents of the victims had problems; two were drug addicts, one had an arrest for being drunk and disorderly I believe (if you understand the demographics of the area these people were from, it makes sense, :)).
But one of the victims had normal parents, who were still married/in a stable relationship, and didn't seem to be so dysfunctional in And these people; Michael Moore's parents, believe the three are guilty. This is what that Michael Moore's father had to say:
Father of WM3 murder victim certain who killed 3 boys
BY TODD MOORE
Guest Columnist
I am the father of West Memphis triple murder victim Michael Moore. I am writing this in response to your editorial in the June 6 edition of The Sun titled “Justice Unserved.” It has always been my opinion that justice was served when Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were convicted in 1994 for the brutal murder of my son and his friends.
The three men who slaughtered my son were convicted by two juries that found them guilty in 1994. Despite this, the Arkansas Supreme Court generously granted the murderers the opportunity for a new evidentiary hearing to be held Dec, 5, 2011, to show evidence they claimed proved their innocence. They could have been granted a new trial to prove these claims of innocence. Instead of presenting their “new evidence” in open court last December, they opted to plead guilty to the murders in August 2011 in exchange for time served.
Second District Prosecuting Attorney Scott Ellington agreed to accept the defense’s plea offer for vague reasons we still don’t understand. Family members learned of the deal only at the last minute. The district attorney was new to the case. But whatever the rational, this continued to make the convicts guilty as a matter of law.
The defense team avoided sharing the results of the tests of everything with us by preemptively entering a guilty plea for their clients. Thanks to the plea deal, we may never know exactly what the defense found when the evidence was retested. Absence of DNA evidence does not prove the West Memphis Three (WM3) are innocent. The killers washed most of the evidence away in the water- filled ditch where they drowned my son. There was plenty of other evidence to convict them in 1994 without positive DNA. Most murderers are convicted without DNA evidence.
The defense attorneys for the WM3 had nearly 20 years to find “the real killer” and failed to do so. After nearly two decades and untold millions in donated funds spent, the best they could do was find a hair that may or may not have belonged to Terry Hobbs, step- father of victim Stevie Branch. It was allegedly found on a shoelace used to tie my son. It has never been proven to actually belong to Terry Hobbs.
Even if it was Terry Hobbs’ hair, that fact would prove nothing. Our sons were best friends, and my child spent considerable time in Terry Hobbs’s home and could have picked up the hair on his shoe. This would be “secondary transfer” and makes the hair of no probative value. The defense has even admitted as much. Terry Hobbs did not murder my son. No credible law enforcement official believes so. Neither did Mark Byers, Mr. Bojangles nor any of the other defense red herrings.
Contrary to your editorial, it is not up to police or the prosecutor to continue to look for “the real killer.” The real killers were arrested and charged back in 1993, were found guilty in 1994 and then admitted their guilt in 2011 after getting a lucky break. To his credit, Prosecutor Ellington has stated many times that his door is open to any new leads and evidence presented to him by the WM3 defense teams.
So far, nothing compelling enough to reopen the case has been presented to him. District Attorney Ellington stated as much the day your editorial appeared. This means despite the defense’s grandiose claims prior to the pleas, not one iota of credible evidence has been presented to show their clients’ innocence or even to view the convicted as anything less than what they are as a matter of law and as a matter-of fact: guilty.
The WM3 defense team has been well-funded by numerous celebrities who were misinformed by the biased “Paradise Lost” documentaries. These one-sided films left out nearly all of the evidence that demonstrated the guilt of the WM3. They caused thousands of people to support the release of the convicted child killers with a very limited unndcrstanding of the actual facts of the case.
Mr. Wessel, it appears that you, like so many others, got most of your misinformation about this case from these inaccurate documentaries. If you would take the time to dig a little deeper and actually read the case file documents, you would know that there was ample evidence to convict these three men for murdering my son. These documents are readily available on websites such as www.callahan.8k.com.
Here are just a few examples of what was omitted from the documentaries:
• Jessie Misskelley confessed to the crime at least five times to police, prosecutors, even his own attorneys with his hand on a Bible. Misskelley confessed the first time after less than four hours of police questioning. That questioning was done with permission from his father. He continued to repeatedly confess in the year that followed.
• Damien Echols amassed a mental health record 500 pages long in the years immediately prior to the murders. In his own handwriting, he classified himself as a “homicidal, suicidal, schizophrenic, sociopath” just a months before he brutally murdered my son.
• Read Damien Echols’ current Twitter account to discover his deep-seated interest in skulls and the occult. There he also recently described artwork depicting a man sawing off his own arm as “breathtaking.” In addition, Echols is obscenely profiting off the death of my son by selling his narcissistic books, promoting his self-serving movie, and tattooing murder groupies with his “mark.” For two hundred dollars, you can have this sociopath tattoo an “X” on your arm. These Twitter posts and money-making schemes are a slap in the face to me, my family and my dead son.
• The movies omit the fact that these three men had no alibis. Damien Echols’ and Jessie Misskelley’s alibis completely fell apart on the stand in the 1994 trials. Jason Baldwin’s attorneys didn’t even bother to present an alibi.
• Fibers consistent with a robe in Jason Baldwin’s home and a shirt in Damien Echols’ home were found on the victims. Blue candle wax found on Chris Byers’ shirt was consistent with candle wax found in Damien Echols bedroom.
• The crime lab found that three different knots were used to hogtie the three victims with their own shoelaces. This points toward multiple killers rather than one killer. Witnesses say that Mr. Bojangles, the disoriented man near the crime scene that night, had a cast on one arm. No one person could have subdued and hogtied three energetic young boys-not Terry Hobbs and certainly not the one-armed Mr. Bojangles.
• A knife that could have been used in the murders was found in a lake behind Baldwin’s home. It was a unique knife with a place hold a compass on the end that witnesses described as similar to one owned by Echols.
• A car full of eyewitnesses placed Echols near the crime scene, covered with dirt, on the night of the murders.
• Numerous friends, acquaintances and cell-mates came forward with tales of confessions from all three defendants.
Throw out one or even several of those facts, and there would still be enough to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
I sat through those trials. The basic facts need to be put out there. Otherwise, it makes a mockery of my son’s short life.

Yikes, can't avoid politics at all. I like Eddie, but those gun "safety" laws that Chicago did not help the number of shootings in recent weeks.
Indiana has some of the most lax gun laws in the country. Anyone in Chicago who wants one can just cross state lines. Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot have worked hard to stop gun violence.

He is practicing demonic mantras. If you plan on having the rest of eternity in hell go for it.
It was buddhism that helped bands like the Beatles be entrancing. Damien is saying that he would describe what he did was "like reiki" because utilizing energy doesn't make people jump to human sacrifice like saying "magic" does. Since when does magic automatically make people think of human sacrifice?
Unfortunately, ignorance and religious propaganda is to blame. Yes, the Druids of old did practice human/animal sacrifice, but you can find teachings in the Old Testament that instructed the Israelites to sacrifice animals. Abraham was going to offer his own son as a sacrifice, but chose to sacrifice an animal instead. Jews don't practice animal sacrifice, as their religion and culture has changed considerably since that period. Christians believe that Christ willingly offered himself as a sacrifice to pay the price of our sins. Sacrifice doesn't have to involve blood and death. Christians still practice sacrifice in the form of Lent, and many religions fast from food and alcohol for short periods as a sacrifice. Even in our materialistic world we hear of the sacrifices people make for their companies and the like.
Since they did it and are guilty.
Literally every so called Christian on here casting judgement... Lol
Since the beginning of Christianity!

'Gun safety laws' When the criminals are armed and the citizens aren't.
Sigh. You realize this "issue" isn't even interesting anymore. It's so tiresome.
But you're sharing, so I will too.
Everyone's so charged up, so riled up about being "right" even if it causes everyone to be dead.
You know what? Go buy up your guns, join your NRA (what's left of it) and form your militias. You're going to anyway. Even if you have all the evidence to prove you wrong, even if it costs you your life, it's what you want.
Maybe you're well practiced and trained. The truth is the vast majority of people, with or without training, are not competent to use one for self defense. Guns really aren't useful for all that much. There are far deadlier things for both criminal and honest citizen to use.
Meanwhile, more people go insane with frustration. More shootings. More lives pointlessly lost.
Gun or no, it could be you one day. And you have to be oh so fast and oh so alert for a gun to be any help anyway. A lot of it is in timing and circumstance. Do you really think that being armed increases your chances of survival that much more? What if, Goodness forbid, whatever attack you're trying to contend with is explosive, chemical, or pathogenic in nature? Because those kinds of attacks are the far bigger threat and carrying a weapon won't help with that.
And even considering that, are you sure you're quick and accurate enough to win a shootout with a sniper? So few are. Vanishingly few. Maybe you are. Are you at your best at every moment? Because you would have to be for it to matter.
This whole thing is just pointless. Your passion for this issue is a waste of neurons and energy. Multiply you by the population of the United States. This whole insane country, preferring to die rather than read and learn from history, look at current statistics and let the data determine truth, or even think.
I mourn your stillborn intellect, conscience, and common sense. But that all has been dead for a long time, clearly. So whatever you do with your empty shell is of no consequence.
I'm not saying banning anything is a complete solution. It might not even matter. Truth be told, I don't even want to talk about that part. Your programmed response to something said about a crisis is the far more disturbing thing here. There is so much more wrong with the world than just a few policies or laws. And you illustrate it. You're a machine, responding as you are programmed. You have no soul.
You aren't helping anything or making yourself look principled or intelligent. You act like you are indoctrinated because you are. And there is nothing more to you at all.
So you wasted my and everyone else's time and your own by your comment. Now I did too by actually commenting honestly on it. So hooray for free speech. After all of this, you are still hollow, still molded by minds more focused than your own, and still irrelevant.

That's absolutely not true. Look it up, there are literally hundreds of documented cases.

Nicole April....you can not be a Christian, and worship a child murderer!
Completely agree with you Nicole 💕
This is what you peoplle think is hot:

An Alford plea isn’t the same as a guilty plea-it is a guilty plea. Better stated, it’s a kind of guilty plea, one that shares similarities with the “no contest” plea.
To be more precise, an Alford plea is a guilty plea by a defendant who claims to be innocent. A no-contest (or “nolo contendere”) plea is a plea by a defendant who accepts punishment but doesn’t admit guilt. Both kinds of plea result in conviction.
Despite claiming innocence, a typical Alford defendant considers the evidence too strong to go to trial. To that kind of defendant, the chance of a jury conviction and a tougher sentence is enough to plead guilty.
Courts treat Alford pleas differently than standard guilty pleas. An Alford plea is similar to a no-contest plea, but there can be important distinctions between those two.
Funny how sadly many people have faced being locked up for a long time but they have seemed to be able to sit indoors without sunglasses.
But not locked up on Death Row. Prisoners on Death Row are treated much different. It's as maximum as maximum security gets.
@@junesmith4159 I got into a big long debate with a guy who claimed to work in a prison and that he was lying about forgetting how to eat with a fork. We know that he spent 18 years on Death Row, but for some reason people think that because THEY think he's a devil worshiping sociopath, every word he says is a lie for sympathy- and even if he was, human beings are creatures of habit, they don't give maximum security prisoners eating utensils (for reasons that should be obvious to even the dumbest morons) and Death Row is as maximum as maximum security gets........ so why it would be hard to believe that someone who spent 18 years eating w/o utensils, and without having access to direct sunlight would adapt to that situation just baffles me.
You want to debate the evidence that's fine, but so far all I have seen from them are vitriol and deflections.
I have hereditary vision problems and have to wear dark glasses to cut glare which is blinding and causes migraines. It is absolutely necessary for some.
@@Iceis_Phoenix Who'd he kill?
That Girl NO ONE!
Why did he start glorifying strict gunlaws in Chicago??? If your trying to say strict gunlaws work then I think Chicago is the LAST example you wanna give 🤦♂️ this video has nothing to do with that, shut up
Thank you. That got under my skin from the very start. He didn't have to mention his moronic politics.
I just finished watching the Oxygen documentary, and these guys need to be exonerated once and for all, without question. This is such a miscarriage of justice - not only for Damien, Jason and Jessie, but for those three little boys. Nobody's ever bothered to find out who really killed them. It's horrific on all sides.
I cant help but think that it was either some fundamentalists christian people with sick and twisted repressed fantasies that killed those kids, or maybe even someone who was directly involved in the investigation. Its interesting that the only suspects that investigators looked into, were a group of troubled teens who were allegedly involved in occult practices and some mysterious black man that was supposedly seen around the time that the boys were murdered. It seems that prejudice ruled the case from start to finish, but i almost get the impression that someone was taking advantage of that pre existing prejudice in the community in order to draw attention away from the real culprit. In those circumstances the culprit would likely be someone who was close to one of the investigators, and was able to influence the thinking internally, or otherwise it could have been someone who was literally working within the confines of the law.
@@connorfisher1651 that's frequently the case There's some sickos in law enforcement😣
Yeah they had their chance to be exonerated also to be paid a vast sum of money up to $9mil for a false convictions.It would have also allowed an investigation to continue..However they instead pleaded for the alford.. as there was enough evidence to convict them again..I hope one day they have enough balls to actually come out and say thank you..I fking fooled all of you sheep..That would be awesome.
@@nettya151 Thats BS..The defence lawyers asked for the alford plea.Do your research and come back and apologize.
@@nettya151 Nah they never proved their innocence.No alibi,confession 6 times,even after the conviction of the only one who had a shred of remorse.The guilty charge still stands..The satanist are out and about and people are defending them who clearly have not investigated it themselves,just watched a tv drama that was funded by other proclaimed satanist.
Thank you Damien for spreading the message of unity, diversity and individual and collective empowerment!
Regarding themselves as spiritual and want to infringe individul rights?
What a joke
Rather than confirm his innocence on a spotify choice Ed, try looking at the evidence. Exhibit 500 might be a place to start.
What does exhibit 500 say?
Nothing about whether or not he killed anybody ive read it
@@KurlyQ1221 not much lol. But some nons take is as the bible of true crime
defamation much?
Wearing your sunglasses echols cause your evil eyes give u away
Damien is very open and down to earth and still retains a lot of his small town personality he doesn't strike me as overly cerebral or particularly intelligent but what does make it through is his honesty which seems to make up for whatever he may be lacking in his education. I enjoyed his talk and I wish him the best.
@@junesmith4159 Yeah I've listened to his podcast and he sounds like a guy who really enjoys the occult.
You know Damien comes from very humble beginnings right?
He dropped out of HS and was trying to get disability benefits. That was the “norm” for Damien bc of his upbringing.
I highly doubt if anyone in his family is a college graduate. I’m not being ugly but it’s doubtful his parents even graduated high school.
Have you seen any of the documentaries about this case?
The WM3 were in Damien’s words “bottom of the barrel poor white trash”.
He must be incredibly intelligent.
I doubt family annihilator Chris Watts could effectively use words like “eloquent” or “concise” if his life depended on it.
I would bet money Watts doesn’t know what the phrase “tongue in cheek” means.
Damien’s experienced almost a decade in solitary confinement.
He taught HIMSELF how to speak proper English. He’s 100% self educated.
I wrote this comment before Damien addressed that nobody in his family of origin is educated.
My point is, whether you like him personally or not, he’s an extremely smart man. His vocabulary is far better than the average person.
@@amandanegrete1306 Yeah if you're a fan of his that's fine he just doesn't do it for me that's all.
45:15 - 48:30 Like, I am not just me... I am part of this entire existence. 💥
He’s spends 7 hrs a day summoning Eddie Vedder. I spend 8 hrs a day summoning a paycheck😒
At lease you have more room to move than he did, or I hope you have more room than a small cell.
Cool stuff. Maybe if Vedder begs the dark lord he can resurrect his career from the cemetery of 1994.
Right on Bro lol
He doesn't want or need the music industry
Resurrect his career? Wow you are a fucking retard of the highest order😂😂😂😂 Eddie vedder is the greatest rock star of all time. The way he projects his barratone voice with an organic release of emotion is unparalleled. The doors asked him to induct them into the hall of fame and perform with them on that night. John densmore said they would not perform without him. he has earned the respect , love and graced the stage with The who, bruce springsteen, stevie nicks, glen hansard, tom petty, neil young, coldplay, chris cornell, the rolling stones, R.E.M to name just a few and there are many more and in these moments he delivers earth shattering performances. He covered u2s elevation and One at their kennedy center honors ceremony and left the band speachless. he was asked to induct the Ramones, R.E.M. , neil young and the doors as mentioned earlier into the hall of fame. He has done all of this while climbing and jumping off scaffolds singing porch and gave the greatest unplugged perfomance to boot. If you doubt any of this you are just hating on reality. look it all up on yoitube its right here✌ wow you are a fucking idiot beyond compare you fucking 2 bit tool
Anyone else find this interestingly creepy? Like why is he so obsessed? Because this guy is the high priest . That’s why
what d you mean?
The important thing to remember from today is always quote the word 'solid' (i guess an important aspect of reality when you get locked into a cell):
eddie vedder look like ryder from gta
Its to walk on the streets without being noticed
Looks like a gay porn star.
the knife was a key piece of evidence that people overlook, which i think is the key to the case(besides damien being proven to be psychotic by a psychiatric profile). the one boy literally had a wound that fit the compass image on the bottom of the knife to the injury on his forehead perfectly

edit: as you may have guessed i just watched all three paradise lost docs and i flipped flopped between guilt and innocence, but this cemented my opinion of guilt.

Subtle hint?
Do you know what the definition of defamation is?
I drove along Interstate 40 in West Memphis recently and the crime scene was totally altered--all the trees chopped down. The truck washing building is gone. I don't know if Echols is guilty or not but he's obviously full of anger for Christianity and walks on the dark side.

Echols did it and he knows he did it. Un fucking real.
DAMIEN DID NOT KILL THOSE BOYS.
Chicago the city with more "gun-control" and yet the city with more crime ...... that make sense ! I guess more gun control for NOT to defend your self , and the criminals know it!!! good luck with that. DAMIEN , CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR FREEDOM, IT REALLY was unfair your experience, I am glad you are with a kind soul and people who help you , god bless them and you too.
Here's how I'd explain it.
I'm from near Chicago.
Chicago locks their town down. People caught with illegal weapons are punished severely.
People don't get their illegal weapons IN Chicago.
Because in Indiana, they have lax gun laws. Just 30 minutes away is Gary, Indiana.
I have friends who folks would ID as THUGS who won't get gas at night in Gary. Gary is a weapons depot for the tri-state.
That's how you get guns in Chicago. No across the board laws for the free sale of firearms to anonymous parties.
He did it
STFU!!! DAMIEN ECHOLS IS INNOCENT!!!

He must have not read the end of the Bible, cuz it doesn't end well for people like this who like Satan, make themselves their own god....
Jews created the Bible. They don't care about Jesus. They don't think Satan is bad. So why are so arrogant about your religion? It was created just 2000 thousand years ago. Jesus was condemned right? Just like Damien.
@@Kxz716 The Old Testament was written by The Jews, but the New was written by followers of Christ.. Satan not bad? Not sure what you've been reading, but tthat is fallacious..

@@abandonedmuse even tho he was proven innocent?
TheDarkApex he was proven GUILTY in a court of law. Then, they got out on a technicality because of DNA evidence which was INCONCLUSIVE. It was years after, the bodies were in water, etc. I mean it was a total misrepresentation of justice to even try to look at it after so much time had passed and how badly the evidence was corrupted. . Everyone knew nothing would come of it.
Use to love EV....I’m no longer that sleepy.
haha same huge fan.. but is he just being duped or does he have full knowledge?
@masked wolf does he genuinely believe that echols is innocent or does he know..
Tickle you are a silly sod if you believe EV would support Echols if he thought he was guilty, FFS.
@@dewiwilliams4821 not a silly sod just facing a sad reality.. Like honestly I think EV is just deceived but johnny depp? I think he knows.... absolutely..
There is no "knowing", thus you have proved yourself a silly sod. Honestly its sad either way, if WM3 are guilty then 3 murderers were set free, if innocent then 3 innocent men had 20 years of their life taken away, and of course in both scenarios those 3 poor little boys were murdered. No getting away from it, either way it is a sad reality, but the bottom line is nobody except the killer(s) knows the truth for sure. I personally find it terrifying how many sick people I am seeing who dare to call WM3 sick one sentence and then call for the blood of the WM3 the next, if they were guilty beyond reasonable doubt I could understand, but there is far too much doubt for that. That being said Echols could be guilty and have duped them all, I think it is very doubtful but possible. Btw, how can you make a claim like that about depp with zero evidence and conclude it is absolute? When is the last time you questioned your own sanity?
I wonder how often he tried to magick himself out of prison. Maybe it worked eventually!
Ha ha. It took 18 years though, lol.
He isn’t that good but he got good enough to do it. I told him I knew his trick and he blocked me lol I do know his tricks. I have done transcendental meditation for years. I know how he did it. But took him long as hell and it ate him up.

Nor does Echols.
Not even in his writings.

Healthy Fatima you mean when you couldn’t see that there was a big ass crowd full of people yelling at him when he was an 18 old kid (idhaf what anyone says...an 18 is not grown!) and on trial to be put to death for a brutal crime he didn’t commit? Yeah....he TOTALLY deserved prison for two decades and then to be ridiculed for the rest of his life for that 🙄

Must be why he is constantly touching his beard and jigging his food real signs of being comfortable 😂
Eddie is one of his closest friends. He used to go personally, many times to visit Damien, bring food and jokes to keep him live and sane.
I have mixed feelings about this guy now
Ok well . Eddie what about these little boys 3 of em? You gonna find out who did it? After one of em confesses?Not only confessed but Confessed to castratIon as well as canabalism? But you get them out? Damien got himself out through high magik. Your nothing but a puppet

It would be nice if other wrongfully convicted could get this much celebrity endorsement....depp, rollins, vedder the list goes on. I wonder how he aligns his will and purpose after taking that Alfred plea...most would, dont get me wrong. But it was a definite soul sucking deal

If he’s innocent WHY DID HE FAIL THE POLYGRAPH TEST WHEN SSKED IF HE KILLED THOSE INNOCENT BOYS?
The thing about a Polygraph is that it's up to the person who administers the polygraph to ask the correct questions. Otherwise the polygraph isn't an accurate way to determine if someone is being deceptive or not. The person who administered Damien's poly graph had apparently majorly fucked up with his question asking and just didn't tell anyone.
This is why Polygraphs aren't really a viable way to determine someone's guilt.
Actually they are admissible in court and when administered properly are a very valuable tool for investigation.
Keywords in that statement- when administered PROPERLY.
The same people who said he failed ALSO said Vicki Hutchison passed........and we know she was lying.
@@junesmith4159 I actually studied law in college (I didn't go to law school but planned to, before having children) and while getting my Criminology degree I learned of this case, peer reviewing a classmate's thesis. Just a little on my background, I am only saying this so I don't come across pretentious.....
Over the years Polygraphs have been in and out of court...are they reliable? Do their results influence juries? But ultimately the courts decided that each jurisdiction would ultimately decide whether or not to admit them.....and for the most part the only court system that does allow the results admitted into evidence are usually military tribunals of which the records are not public, unless of course they are made public.
He's not. Jessie Misskelley confessed several times, and not just to the police. He told his friend the day after the murders that he hurt some kids, and he was really upset about it. His dad's girlfriend heard him crying in his room and praying, he was later diagnosed with PTSD for a traumatic event. He confessed to the police in an interview that only lasted 2.5 hours. He confessed to his lawyers. He confessed to the prosecutor against his lawyers advise. He confessed to his cellmate while awaiting trial. He confessed to a lady who was trying to advocate for the wm3. I read the confession to the prosecutor and it was chilling.
@@marisad9856 That "confession" did not occur in an interview that only lasted 2.5 hours, he was there around 2.5 hours before he "confessed", the interview itself lasted hours and only a small fraction of it is recorded. Anyone who has any knowledge of Criminal investigation doesn't believe it because his "confessions" don't match the evidence and seem to change every time he "confesses"... it's been awhile since I studied the case so I don't remember all the details around the circumstances of those "confessions" but its obvious you did the same most people who think they are guilty did- believe that the police and prosecutors are honest and fair.
People confessing to crimes they haven't committed is not a new phenomenon. There are literally thousands of cases where it has happened over and over......look.at how many people have confessed to killing the Black Dahlia or Jon Benet Ramsey.
When the 2 become 1...i love the way he described enlightenment
I need some loving like I never been loved before, gonna make love to ya baby.._
