Whoops we covered another cult. Coming for ya, Jo Thornely.Chantelle McDougall, her six-year-old daughter Leela, her partner Simon Kadwill, and their housemate Tony Popic went missing in July of 2007. Simon was the leader of an internet-based doomsday cult, who believed that through death, a chosen few would ascend to a new plane of reality and usher in the new Aquarian age of existence. So you know, normal stuff. They told friends and family they were moving to Brazil, but their was no activity on their passports. Their disappearance left police stumped. Had they committed group suicide, or had they gone even further into isolation and completely segregated themselves from society?Our main sources this week were the coronial inquest completed in 2017. You know we love an inquest document! https://www.coronerscourt.wa.gov.au/_files/Felton,%20G;%20McDougall,%20C%20J%20and%20L;%20Popic,%20A%20K%20%20finding.pdfNews articles about the case can be found here https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-06/cult-leader-simon-kadwell-inquest-begins-into-missing-family/9205656 and here https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/cult-leader-simon-kadwell-inquest-hears-police-failed-to-investigate-report-of-dead-flesh-smell/news-story/b828be6ad139699e509c94ce62bc5292The website for Simon’s “work” can be accessed via the Wayback Machine here https://web.archive.org/web/20071103141354/http://www.thenewcall.org/book_sdp.htm Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/murder-in-the-land-of-oz.

Show Notes 0:00:00 Introduction Richard Saunders 0:04:16 Zealot with Jo Thornley Why would anyone join a cult? Maybe they're unhappy with their current religion, or they want to change the world, or they're disappointed with their lives and want to find something bigger or holier that makes sense of this confusing, chaotic and dangerous world. Or maybe they just want to give themselves the best possible chance of having sex with aliens.   https://www.amazon.com.au/Zealot-about-cults-Jo-Thornely-ebook/dp/B07G58PSY6/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/zealot/id1245635983 0:23:36 The Raw Skeptic Report...

Jo Thornely talks to Jeremy Davidson about a murderous cult leader whose only assets were fake nuns and sartorial style : DeVernon LeGrand.

Jo Thornely talks to Natalie Norman live at the Toronto True Crime Film Festival about a guy who balances on the twin pillars of okayness and staring: John De Ruiter.

Sonya Pemberton is an Emmy-winning science documentary maker.She’s recently made JABBED - love, fear and vaccines; URANIUM - Twisting the Dragon's Tail, and now, #VITAMANIA all about how many if any vitamins we need daily. We got in touch when a few months ago I put a photo of myself getting some vaccination shots up on instagram.We have a baby on the way. I don’t want that baby to die of a disease that belongs in a Dickens novel. Vaccines are proven effective by the scientific process, so therefore I use vaccines. It’s a pretty simple thing to say. But some people lost their fuckin’ minds at me. There’s a lot of very convincing, very flawed information out in the world about vaccines. To the point that people were accusing me of wanting to kill my child, and accusing me of being on the take from pharmaceutical companies. I explored a bit more as to why people might believe such things. Things that clearly aren’t true. And I started to discover that if I took the attitude of “I’m right and you’re stupid” that wouldn’t change anything. If I acknowledged the fear and the incredible wanting to cause no harm to their child - and that being the root of the desire to explore if vaccines were safe - well that’s a different story. If you google something for long enough eventually you’ll get an answer that confirms your opinion. That’s how algorithms work. You get more of what you click on. Then you eventually vanish down into a filter-bubble of confirmation bias. Where you never see anything other than the kind of things you click on. If you spend long enough on FB and You Tube, you’ll quickly come across a conspiracy theory - no matter what it is you’re looking for. Things start to get scary. Eventually, wanting to feel less alone, or looking for others in a time of fear people reach out to others who are also concerned - primarily in Facebook groups. There they find a welcome ear, and support and more confirmation that they’re making the right decision. That’s when it gets kind of cult-like for me. There’s an appeal to purity that kicks in, and threat of exclusion if you ever leave the group or say anything against that group. I see it in the vegan community all the time. So people start to identify as a part of that group or movement, even if it’s a movement based on collective delusion that’s been disproven time and again. Once that identity is set in - any challenge to the base belief of that identity is seen as heresy and ends up pushing people deeper into that delusion. And that’s where the incredible reactionary positions and violent language happens. It’s really confronting. It would be super scary to be in it because you’d have a belief that the world is out to get you and me and your kids. I could tell you it doesn’t, but they told you I’d say that didn’t they?As we learned from Jo Thornely, that’s straight up cult-talk 101. So. In the middle of all of this noise and anger when I was just trying to talk about something that’s real, I was contacted by our mutual friend Caroline Pegram who looks after Dr Karl. She told me I should have Sonya on the podcast - because of the extraordinary film she made - Jabbed, a film all about vaccines and how they work and the history of vaccines which goes back hundreds and hundreds of years. We managed to make that conversation happen. It was over Skype, so thanks for understanding the audio... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jo Thornely talks to Simone Holtznagel about (probably) the only cult that started with health food and ended with hang gliding: The Source Family.

My guest today is Jo Thornely - on twitter @JoThornely. Jo is an author, podcaster and music aficionado from Sydney Australia. A rabid live-tweeter of The Bachelor in all its forms, Jo is also utterly fascinated by Cults. Her Book and podcast of the same name “Zealot” is an incredibly interesting exploration into what makes people believe things that really, really aren’t real - and believe them so much that they will do, and have done, many many really awful things. It’s absolutely fascinating and I can’t wait for you to hear it. It’s particularly interesting when looked at through the lens of what makes people believe in things that really aren’t real - like Climate Change deniers and the anti-vac movement - the parallels are strong and I’d encourage you to consider how she describes the way people get trapped in that kind of thinking. Jo’s book Zealot is out wherever you get books. It’s grim, it is real, and it is darkly, darkly funny. Enjoy this conversation with Jo Thornely.

Jo Thornely talks to Chris Deal about a guy accused of both running a sex cult and dropping killer jams: R Kelly.

Happy April Fool's Day! Our Castologists jokingly thought it would be funny to do a Religion theme on this prankiest of days because it seemed like a good idea at the time. And because none of them are remotely religious they've uncovered some podcasts with some sort of spiritual component... Also it's nearly Easter so just go with it OK? Liz found enlightenment in the words of J.K. Rowling with Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, Zane gets down to worshipping false gods with Zealot, and Patrick gets controversial with The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast. Liz Recommends - Harry Potter and the Sacred Text"On this podcast, we ask: What if we read the books we love as if they were sacred texts?"This podcast is all about looking at the Harry Potter book series as if it were a sacred text and finding out what we can learn from each chapter. The hosts pick a central theme through which to explore the characters and context, always grounding themselves in the text. Through this, they unearth some wonderful lessons we humans can take from the famous plight of the Boy Who Lived. The hosts recommend reading along with them to get the most out of the works but it is not mandatory. For both: Whatever book you remember/chapter/theme takes your fancy.Pat Recommends - The Jordan B Peterson PodcastJordan B Peterson is a clinical psychologist at the University of Toronto. He has quickly become one of the most controversial and polarising figures in popular academia. His podcast usually consists of interviews with guests, Q&A's, and recordings of lectures and conferences. Since this is a very special religious episode I have recommended his psychological significance of the bible series For Zane & Liz: The psychological significance of the bible lectures.https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/the-jordan-b-peterson-podcast/id1184022695?mt=2Zane Recommends - ZealotInfringing a little bit on Liz's territory Zealot is a true crime-ish podcast about cults.
