Cette semaine, vos animatrices vous proposent la version éditée du épisode spécial Canada 2.0 enregistré lors d'un Facebook live. On s'excuse si Audrey qui pogne les nerfs après la technologie était votre bout préféré. Dans un premier temps, Audrey nous amène dans la Colombie Britannique du début du XXe siècle pour nous parler de Brother XII et de la Aquarian Foundation. Grâce à ses enseignements inspirés par les écrits de Elena Blavatsky, Brother XII est parvenu à convaincre ses richissimes adeptes de s'établir avec lui sur une île isolée en bordure de Nanaimo, lieu qui devait être leur refuge suite à la collision fatale de la Terre avec un astéroïde. Surprise surprise, ça a pas été long avant que l'argent, le sexe et la soif de pouvoir gâche le fun de tout le monde. Ensuite, Catherine nous transporte à Ottawa pour nous parler d'une nuit mouvementée dans la maison du premier ministre Jean Chrétien. Le 5 novembre 1995, André Dallaire, un homme originaire de Longueuil, entre par effraction au 24 promenade Sussex car selon lui, des voix le lui avaient ordonné. On vous en révèle pas trop mais une chance qu'Aline était là. Et puis, en plus des 2 minutes de Babine, on vous offre un Q&A où vous pourrez apprendre à encore mieux nous connaître. Remarque, après 60 épisodes, on a l'impression que vous commencez à nous connaître pas pire. Café recommandé en ondes: Alejandro Martinez par Cantook Montage: Rodrigo Badillo. Chanson thème: Guillaume Purenne. Deux minutes de Babine: zapslat.com.

In this week’s episode, Charlie and Shelby explore the overtly interesting and wild life of Edward Arthur Wilson, known as Brother XII. An English native, Brother XII would move to British Columbia where he started the Aquarian Foundation. Through the foundation, Brother XII aimed to bring his vision to the world. But, there is a fiercely dark side rife with intolerance, control, abuse, anti-semitism, and theft lurking in the background. Opening music licensed from Peder B.

Episode 081 - in the late 1920 and early 1930's a group called the Aquarian Foundation, led by a self-professed spiritual guru who called himself Brother XII set up just south  of Nanaimo B.C. Brother XII drew wealthy followers to his cult with his promises of salvation through a coming apocalypse. As we've seen many times since the lust for power, sex and money corrupted the group, who, after scandals and cruel treatment turned on Brother XII. He and a female follower, he claimed to be his wife, absconded with some of the treasure that the group had amassed. However, many believe there are still millions of dollars worth of Brother XII's gold hidden somewhere in the area.

Fact and myth mingle in the stories told about Brother Twelve, the mystic who ran the Aquarian Foundation in Cedar by the Sea in the late 1920s. Edward Arthur Wilson channeled/merged with Bother Twelve after a spiritual awakening in Southern France. He wrote Theosophy teachings that were the basis for the Foundation. The City of Refuge, just south of Nanaimo, was intended to protect members of the Foundation from the coming apocalypse in 1928. In return, they converted their money to gold and handed it over to the Brother. It started as an idyllic community, but by the end, the fabric of the cult had frayed – as had the mind of the leader. Court cases, psychic warfare and physical abuse cast a long shadow on the original teachings and intent for the colony. Brother Twelve’s legend lives on. He has become a fascinating figure that continues to spark the imagination and curiosity of those who hear the tale. His contradictory personality, multiple identities and his ability to use esoteric spirituality to part people from their money are just a few things that bring up questions about who he was and why he did what he did.
