40 Years of Healing: Trafficking Survivor Anneke Lucas on God, Hope & the Great Awakening

And so are you seeing that as well, that there is a big shift that's happening as more people are becoming aware of this? And do you also think that, you mentioned the kind of nails on the chalkboard are kind of holding on. Do you think that these elite are at a place where they're losing control? Do you think that's happening? Well, I have seen improvement from the 70s, you know. I was out by 1974 at 11 years old. A decade before I was even born. Yep, there you go. And at that time, in the 70s, it was a weird age, it was a weird time, it was just completely unimaginable to speak to anyone. Like it would be so beyond, beyond, beyond. It was also a time where there was a push to normalize pedophilia, which was quite effective, you know. No way would it have ever, you know, there was just not a hair on my head that would have thought to actually say anything to anyone. Like I'm talking one person. And that's also what the network at the time, what they were figuring when they were programming me to never speak, you know, or else that was very much based on the idea that I dare to speak to one person, let alone, you know, publicly. So I've only seen improvement since then. You know, in the 1980s, when I went to therapy, the therapists were not able to handle it. I was getting flashbacks, but I couldn't bring them to my therapist. That took 10 years for me to actively seek a therapist that could handle that. That was someone then in 97, someone who didn't know about this, but was open minded. You see, it's a slow, it was very difficult. It was very unknown, even though, you know, they call, they talk about the satanic panic and everything, but I didn't really, I wasn't aware of anything. I was with my therapists trying to, you know, talk about these flashbacks that made no sense. This is before the internet also, you have to understand, it was not, you know, I wasn't watching, I never watched the news or anything. So when I finally felt ready to go public, because I was pressured in the YouTube case in 96, and then in 98 to 2000, I was kind of pressured from the Belgian side to go public, but I didn't feel ready. Then I waited 15 more years before I did feel ready. And I just expected that I would be attacked across the board because that's what I had to be ready for. Don't expect that anybody would ever want to know this. And I understand that, you know, you would want to believe that this isn't true, obviously, because it's so hard. And because it puts people's worldview at risk, I think it is particularly difficult. It asks for courage to even consider that this is true. So I understand the projections and I understand that people are going to attack me. So, no, it's been amazing. People were very open from the beginning. And of course, I have been heavily attacked as well, but much more so from people that I suspect are either part of the network or, you know, the attacks more come from that side. And then I just see that increasingly, increasingly, you know, where I get blocked now is more from the platforms. You know, I got one very big interview, one very big podcast, and then afterwards, complete radio silence. No invites after that. And that's what I'm noticing. Somebody just told me that, but I don't have that many followers anyway, but I know that they're messing with the numbers or that they're removing people that are following my channel and they're removing them. Things like that a lot are happening, but people are totally fine. Yeah, it's I've experienced it as well. YouTube, I find that YouTube especially is YouTube, Facebook. I think I'm now to my sixth TikTok account that just keeps getting taken down. Oh, yeah. X. Yeah. I put a video out recently about Epstein. I made a little almost like a music video type thing, and it was so heavily censored. It still got, you know, maybe 300,000 views, but it was being shared by accounts with five million followers, people saying, watch this video and it would get 30,000 views. I mean, it was so obvious that it was being censored, but there's still, you know, rumble I've found has been fantastic. My recent interview with Kathy O'Brien just from this past less than a week ago, it's up to almost 800,000 views, which is which is so that this information is getting out there. And even Facebook, interestingly enough, I had I penned a couple of articles, actually did some long form content on Facebook. I thought there's no way, you know, like a, you know, a 20 minute read article is going to go anywhere on Facebook. But I wrote a couple of articles about the Epstein and about, you know, the satanic stuff. And I think between two different articles, they got six or seven million impressions on Facebook. And yes, but I'm lucky if I get five thousand impressions or on X, I usually get about between three and five hundred. And I really try to work it by the rules, so to speak, to have more exposure. Yeah. It's it's very strong, the grip on information. And so I guess in kind of especially I'm sorry, but I think especially also on survivors and especially on the survivor, that's completely independent. Exactly. And that's the thing, is that what you also notice is that there's these very large accounts, these, you know, whether they're these large Twitter accounts or YouTube accounts, and they won't touch this. They'll kind of touch on it a little bit and we'll talk about it just enough to make people feel like they're a real truth teller. But they won't. They won't. They would never interview an S.R.A. victim. They would never. I know it. Yeah, I'm sure you do. I'm sure. Very frustrating. Yeah. Well, hopefully I there's a lot of people that I know that I that I've come to trust that I think are independent. So hopefully I can help if I could, you know, if introducing you to people that can have you on their shows, because I think this information is very important to get out. I guess in kind of in concluding here, when you're looking at the bigger picture of just our overall society and the fate of humankind, do you see hope? Do you see that that whatever darkness has been ruling us that we're there's a path for us ahead? I think that absolutely. I think that, for example, for first of all, I think I embody hope because I really shouldn't be alive or I really shouldn't be doing well. And I should not make sense if I speak, you know, because of everything that I lived through. And yes, 40 years is a long time to focus on healing. And I've had a very, very difficult life, but so worth it. But ultimately, everybody has to find spirit again. This is the I think the shift is that the the religions kind of failed in that the organized religion has failed. And I think that that has caused a lot of this darkness now where, you know, obviously atheism is also a belief, but to go back and experience God firsthand, I think that's the really big shift that we're in. And of course, that could take a while. But yes, I only see hope, really, and I only see improvement. But that's not to say that these people who hog the power and the resources, that they have it all. They do have a lot of it. And so it really is for each person to find that empowerment from within. And then again, when you're empowered from within, that's to say you're connected to spirit and that's your strength. And that's all the strength. And then you can do anything. What's also good, because I think that if someone like you or Kathy O'Brien or J.R. Sweet or a number of these people who have walked a similar path, if you can find hope and if you can still if you can wake up and smile and and find a reason to keep pushing through, then there's no reason why everyone on earth can't find hope. Because if you've been through the darkness, if you've walked through the valley of the shadow of death that you've walked through and you can still come out on the other side and be driven to do good and to help others and to inspire hope, then I think that that in and of itself, I think should give all of us hope. Right. I think so. Yes. And again, with the personal healing, which really is a way to expand your consciousness and everything gets better. You know, if you would have known me 30 years ago, I had a very and not such a great life and I wasn't very nice person either. Very most of the time. But everything improves when you go in and when you have that courage to to to go and look at your own shadows, because that's what that's what it is. Go look at your own shadows and clear those out. Because every time that you try to go at a shadow, it's because you feel shame or something that's been put on you when you're a child. You put that little child that you were in the light of consciousness and you see obviously that child is innocent. And that's how the integration happens. That's that's healing. So it means that your shadow, which is your shame and your your, you know, the negative feelings that are hidden and suppressed when you bring them out and you connect them to their psychological source. It's like, yes, of course. And then everything gets better. Yeah, it's it's so it's it's so true. Well, Anika, I want to put your website one more time. I'll make sure the link is in the show description. It's just Anika Lucas, just like you see spelled on the screen there dot com. You have a book here, Quest for Love, which I encourage people to purchase. They can purchase it through your website. If I'm on Amazon, I also want to highlight on your website. You have a podcast tab and you've got a podcast. So you're on Rumble, you're on YouTube that shoot a lot of major platforms. And this is, I think, one of the greatest ways that if anyone's watching this, if you're looking for ways of supporting support with the podcast, watch it, download it, share it, help get it to more people, because that's also the one thing I've seen that the algorithms can't stop is they can't stop just the human action of sharing something. They'll try to write. They can stop you from going viral and finding new people, but they can't stop the one to one sharing. They can't stop the grassroots spreading of information. And so I really encourage people to check out your podcast, subscribe to it, whether it's on YouTube or Apple podcast, et cetera. Check out your book. And those are great ways of supporting. And so, Anika, as we're wrapping up, do you have any final thoughts or any words you want to tell us? No, I think it was very nice to end with the hope. I try to. So, yes, I think that's a beautiful ending. Thank you. Well, thank you for everything you're doing. Thank you for still being here with us and just fighting through all of this. And you radiate hope and encouragement. And so I'm glad that we did that. You know, I try to structure things that way. I don't want to shy away from the dark and the scary and the disturbing things, but I don't want to, I never want to end on that. I always want to kind of walk through it and then come out on the other side in a way that you can still feel like, okay, that was really, really bad and really scary, but I'm still going to keep fighting. And now I've somehow I feel even more hope, even though I just learned this really bad stuff. And so I think that we've accomplished that, which is good. I think that's also the story arc of your life, right? Is going through the darkness and coming out on the other side with hope that is stronger than the evil and the suffering that you've been through. Thank you. Yes. And then the love of God ultimately is so great that if we can tap into that, then, you know, we'd all be extremely happy. I couldn't agree more. Well, Anika, thank you so much. I really appreciate you giving us your time today. All right. Thank you.
