Gary discusses the newest media darling, Steven Hasan, and his BITE model of determining "cult" behavior. Far from being useful, Hasan's model could be used to define nearly any group as a "cult." Businesses, clubs, schools, churches, and even families could be defined as "cults" according to Hasan's methodology, and now even the FBI has jumped on board.

In this mind-bending episode of Nephilim Death Squad, we sit down with Austin Picard to dissect the Waco siege, the psychological operations behind it, and its deep ties to modern mind control programs. From David Koresh's murky connections to MKUltra to the eerie parallels between Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Jonestown, we pull back the veil on how the state manipulates reality through trauma, media narratives, and covert operations. We also dig into elite culture creation, Tavistock methods, the death of legacy media, and the rise of a new wave of authentic truth-seekers. If you've ever wondered how psyops are scaled from isolated cults to global society—or questioned who's really pulling the strings—this one is for you.☠️ NEPHILIM DEATH SQUAD   Skip the ads.

We've had a lot of episodes underground, and none of them have been underwhelming. In fact, if you're not fans of claustrophobia, choking, burning, or being trampled, today's episode may be a little overwhelming.On today's episode: we will discuss how some of the richest men in America created a boiling, black mountain of crap as powerful as a small nuclear blast; we will – for only the second time in the show's history, describe a disaster made worse by a liberal and unexpected application of barbed wire; and we'll find out why sometimes, mass graves are just better.And if you were listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you'd get to enjoy an additional 8 minutes where: you would learn how people who forget to patent their inventions die; we discuss the three most popular maiming injuries among child labour in the 1800s – number three will really surprise you; and we learn how people in the gentle age of this episode used water, electricity, cream and beef broth to unscramble your nervous system. This episode came by overwhelming request, and because I wanted to spend some time in every town destroyed during today's events, this became our longest episode ever. It's not all bad though. We'll get to watch the creation of the American Red Cross before our eyes. It is mostly bad though. Today's disaster sits easily in the top five worst things we've ever seen, and the bodycount would remain intact for the next 112 years – until the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in NYC.

We get into the beginning of chapter 7 but it doesn't take long for us to realize that our eschatological ears are going to start perking up.

Rick Welch speaks at Eric and Karen Ogea's home fellowship in Azle, Texas last Palm Sunday. He brings a view to the Sermon on the Mount, typically seen as a lesson on moral ethics, and breaks down what is actually going on. It is a covenant indictment on Old Covenant Israel, and the injection of the New Covenant explaining what it looks like. All of this was done on what Rick states is "the edge of an eschatological knife". This is a fresh look at The Sermon on the Mount through the lens of eschatology.

In November 1978, Congressman Leo Ryan (Rep. CA) travelled to The People's Temple in Jonestown, Guyana. He did not return alive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On his mom's side, Woody LaBounty's San Francisco roots go back to 1850. In Part 1, get to know Woody, who, today, is the president and CEO of SF Heritage. But he's so, so much more than that. He begins by tracing his lineage back to the early days of the Gold Rush. His maternal great-great-great-grandfather arrived here mid-Nineteenth Century. Woody even knows what ship he was on and the exact day that it arrived in the recently christened city of San Francisco. On Woody's dad's side, the roots are about 100 years younger than that. His father grew up in Fort Worth, Texas (like I did). His dad's mom was single and fell on hard times in Texas. She came to San Francisco, where she had a step-brother. Woody's parents met at the Donut Bowl at 10th Avenue and Geary Boulevard (where Boudin Bakery is today). Donut Bowl was a combination donut shop/hot dog joint. At the time the two met, his dad worked as a cook there and his mom was in high school. His mom and her friends went to nearby Washington High and would hang out at the donut shop after school. The next year or so, his parents had their first kid—Woody. They came from different sides of the track, as it were. Woody's mom's family wasn't crazy about her dating his working-class dad, who didn't finish high school. But once his mom became pregnant with Woody, everything changed. The couple had two more sons after Woody. One of his brothers played for the 49ers in the Nineties and lives in Oregon today. His other brother works with underserved high school kids in New Jersey, helping them get into college. Woody shares some impressions of his first 10 years or so of life by describing The City in the mid-Seventies. Yes, kids played in the streets and rode Muni to Candlestick Park and The Tenderloin to go bowling. It was also the era of Patty Hearst and the SLA, Jonestown, and the Moscone/Milk murders. But for 10-year-old Woody, it was home. It felt safe, like a village. Because I'm a dork, I ask Woody to share his memories of when Star Wars came out. Obliging me, he goes on a sidebar about how the cinematic phenomenon came into his world in San Francisco. He did, in fact, see Star Wars in its first run at the Coronet. He attended Sacred Heart on Cathedral Hill when it was an all-boys high school. He grew up Catholic, although you didn't have to be to go to one of SF's three Catholic boys' high schools. Woody describes, in broad terms, the types of families that sent their boys to the three schools. Sacred Heart was generally for kids of working-class folks. After school, if they didn't take Muni back home to the Richmond District, Woody and his friends might head over to Fisherman's Wharf to play early era video games. Or, most likely, they'd head over to any number of high schools to talk to girls. Because parental supervision was lacking, let's say, Woody and his buddies also frequently went to several 18+ and 21+ spots. The I-Beam in the Haight, The Triangle in the Marina, The Pierce Street Annex, Enrico's in North Beach, Mabuhay Gardens. There, he saw bands like The Tubes and The Dead Kennedy's, although punk wasn't really his thing. Woody was more into jazz, RnB, and late-disco. We chat a little about café culture in San Francisco, something that didn't really exist until the Eighties. To this day, Woody still spends his Friday mornings at Simple Pleasures Cafe. And we end Part 1 with Woody's brief time at UC Berkeley (one year) and the real reason he even bothered to try college. Check back next week for Part 2 with Woody LaBounty. And this Thursday, look for a bonus episode all about We Players and their upcoming production of Macbeth at Fort Point. We recorded this episode in Mountain Lake Park in March 2025.

In the '70s, a charismatic minister named Jim Jones convinced thousands of followers of his Peoples Temple that he was for them, moving them from the U.S. where he was being investigated for running a cult (lol, nothing to see here) to an agricultural commune in Guyana under the auspice that he was "creating a paradise free from the oppression of the U.S. government." Oh, and also, they had to call him dad, maybe sleep with him and never, ever leave unless they wanted to be shot.  But that's neither here nor there. He was FOR them, you guys. Of course, if you know anything about Jonestown, you know this didn't end well for 909 of them.  You'll never believe this, but the markers of Jim Jones—a guy who loved Hitler, schmoozing with politicians and exerting power over others—have a lot of overlap with our current RPOTUS (that would be rapist president of the United States).  In this episode, we welcome back—Dr. Janja Lalich, CEO of the Lalich Center on Cults and Coercion and foremost international expert on cults to answer our is-half-the-country-in-a-cult? questions.  She also recommended a book that we're going to recommend to you: The Brainwashing of My Dad: How the Rise of the Right-Wing Media Changed a Father and Divided Our Nation—And How We Can Fight Back, by Jen Senko.

Ross Douthat has a new book, arguing that America needs a new religious revival. Sir, there is a theocracy establishing itself in Idaho, we have Tradcaths in the government trying to force us all back into patriarchal marriages, is now really the time?? America has always been weird about god, we can't seem to contemplate him for more than ten seconds at a time without praying he destroys the whole world in fiery apocalypse. Jessa and Nico discuss our new gods and whether Jim Jones would have made a better VP than JD Vance. Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

Uncertainty leads to poor choices. People seek certainty at the cost of their well-being. We have been "certain" about such horrors as eugenics and such trivialities as not swimming for an hour after eating. We've had brutal endings to cults, in Waco, in Jonestown, because conmen had convinced followers that they had certainty. We have polarization today because opposing politics or values cause adherent to be "certain" about their position and hold those who disagree as inferior. There are people taking invalid behavioral tests to dismiss others as having weak or defective profiles, and they are certain that they are superior to them. I remember when so many people had their feet burned trodding over hot coals that more EMTs had to be called. I guess their motivation wasn't sufficient—they were uncertain. BOTH science and religion try to create certainty around the mysteries of the universe, as if we could understand the unfathomable. (What do we mean there was "nothing" and then there was "something" which then "exploded"...??) In this age we need to live with and thrive on uncertainty. Solid companies such as GE suddenly crumble. Upsets in sports abound. We have gone from "global warming" to "climate change" to try to correct prior uncertainties. Can you be "certain" that your kids aren't using drugs or that your elected officials aren't stealing? I'm not calling for continual cynicism, but I am suggesting we have to live with uncertainty and be resilient and agile enough to deal with the failure of the "certain." These two astronauts who went to the space station for a week and nearly stayed for a lifetime are good examples of dealing with uncertainty. Of course, they have "the right stuff."

Dive into the shadowy depths of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) in the third installment of our gripping series on "No Way, Jose!" In episode "NWJ 463- Pt 3 of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation w/Jacob J," host Jose Galison unravels the unsettling connections between the FMSF Board and a web of suspicious doctors tied to government projects, including the infamous MK-ULTRA program.

With fresh insights and meticulous research, we peel back the layers of this controversial organization and its lingering influence.Joining Jose is special guest Jacob, host of the "Rise to Liberty" podcast, who brings his sharp perspective and passion for uncovering hidden truths to the conversation. Together, they explore how the FMSF's narrative intersects with Jonestown's tragic legacy and Dr. Singer's complex legacy as a psychologist with ties to CIA-funded research. Expect a riveting discussion that challenges official accounts and digs into the murky intersections of psychology, power, and conspiracy.

In this gripping episode of Crime Time, Inc., we delve into the harrowing events of the Jonestown Massacre, where over 900 people, including more than 300 children, perished under the influence of cult leader Jim Jones. The episode begins by exploring Jones's early life marked by a disturbing fascination with death and his rise to religious leadership, characterized by charisma and a message of social justice. We then trace the evolution of his teachings from traditional Christianity to apostolic socialism, appealing to marginalized followers seeking a sense of belonging and purpose.As Jones's power grew, so did his manipulation tactics, leading to the establishment of Jonestown in Guyana, a so-called utopia that quickly turned into a nightmare of hard labor, communal living, and psychological abuse. The episode provides chilling details of life inside Jonestown, including suicide drills known as 'white nights' and the isolation imposed on followers.The situation came to a head with the visit of Congressman Leo Ryan in November 1978, which led to a violent ambush at a nearby airstrip and Ryan's subsequent death. This marked the beginning of the end, culminating in the mass suicide orchestrated by Jones, immortalized in the infamous 'death tape.' The episode examines the psychological manipulation that led to such a tragic end and discusses various conspiracy theories surrounding the event.We also hear the harrowing stories of survivors like Leslie Wilson and Vernon Gosney, who provide crucial insights into the psychological hold Jones had over his followers. The episode concludes with a reflection on the Jonestown Massacre's impact on society's understanding of cults, the importance of critical thinking, and the need to safeguard individual autonomy. Tune in for a deep dive into one of the darkest chapters of human history.00:00 Introduction to the Jonestown Massacre00:29 Jim Jones: Early Life and Troubled Childhood01:14 Rise to Power: From Ministry to Manipulation01:52 Apostolic Socialism and the Move to Guyana03:11 Life in Jonestown: Control and Fear04:16 Congressman Ryan's Visit and the Airstrip Attack05:32 The Mass Suicide: Revolutionary Suicide and Its Aftermath12:10 Conspiracy Theories and Alternative Explanations14:57 Survivors' Stories and the Impact on Society16:18 Lessons Learned: Critical Thinking and Vigilance19:14 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 02/22/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS Gus T. Renegade is still receiving Jonestown material from California institutions related to his end of year counter-racist sojourn to the "Golden State." Low and behold, the so-called Zizian death cult members were arrested this week on suspicion of being involved in at least 6 different murders across the US. They're even suspected of killing a White border agent. Many news reports emphasize that these were highly intelligent White vegans with keen interests in artificial intelligence and "transgenderism." While President Trump is suspected of moving to eliminate the Department of Education, he paused to snack on collard greens with "black" golfer Tiger Woods in recognition of "Black History Month." Gus could swear Woods told Oprah that he was "Cablinasian." Even here, as always, White (Caucasian) is first. We also discuss why large numbers of people are experience "brain rot" related to a massive decline in book-reading. #10Stops #MinimizeConflict #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Gary talks about the trend among young people where Bible sales are increasing and they are obviously looking for some sort of purpose. There is a sense where every generation rejects the views of the parents, but it also runs deeper. People say they are looking for their "true self" but how will they know when they've actually found it?

After offering asylum to Jim Jones' brainwashed, religious hostages; Leo Ryan and his party of reporters and government employees are ambushed at the airstrip which they flew in on and Leo Ryan is murdered. What happens next is horrific and everyone knows about the Jonestown Kool-Aid cocktail.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jim Jones & The Peoples Temple Part TwoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jim Jones was an American cult leader and mass murderer who founded and led the Peoples Temple between 1955 and 1978. In what Jones termed "revolutionary suicide", Jones and the members of his inner circle planned and orchestrated a mass murder-suicide in his remote jungle commune at Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978.As a child Jim Jones was entranced with two things - Pentecostal preachers and Communism. Reflecting back on his participation in the Communist Party, Jones said that he asked himself, "How can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."AND SO HE DID.He began his religious career in 1952, Jones was hired as student pastor to the children at the Sommerset Southside Methodist Church, where he launched a project to create a playground that would be open to children of all races. Jones continued to visit and speak at Pentecostal churches while serving as Methodist student pastor. He felt called to the pomp and circumstance of the Pentecostal movement. There was something about the attention that he just could not get enough of... that would lead him to start his own Church, The Peoples Temple.

What is Jonestown like today? Were there any survivors of Jonestown and if so who were they? Did anyone stand up to Jim Jones? Today we are covering part two of the the Jonestown Massacre in Guyana.

During his campaign, Donald Trump promised several times that he would dismantle the US Department of Education. So today we wanted to explore what such a dismantling would look like, as well as what the DoED does in the first place. Turns out, while the Department does an awful lot of things, there is much for which it is criticized that it does not do. Taking us through its creation, its history, and its powers is Adam Laats, professor of Education at Binghamton University. Link to our episodes on School Lunch here and here.And here are some good resources for anyone who wants to know a little more about Jonestown.

The Context of White Supremacy makes time on the federally recognized holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to study the work of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing. During Gus's Counter-Racist California Sojourn, he located a number of audio recordings of Dr. Welsing debating Dr. William Shockley as well as her giving lectures to groups of black people. One such recording is of a 1982 presentation the Grandcestor gave in Compton, California. She spoke at Compton Community College in April of '82, which is just over three years removed from the Jonestown massacre - which involved a large number of black Californians. Dr. Welsing makes time to mention the Peoples Temple in fact. She also discusses the sacrifices made and lessons that must be learned from the life and murder of Dr. King. Importantly, Dr. Welsing emphasizes that non-white people are not serious about Replacing White Supremacy With Justice - which is mostly still true in 2025. #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation #StraightOuttaCompton #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Last week we told you how over 1,000 people ended up in the Guyanese jungle following the orders of a meth-head with a god complex. Short answer: Nobody knowingly joins a cult.This week we're here to tell you how the arrival of US Congressman Leo Ryan inadvertently set off a chain of events that led to the chaotic end of Jonestown and the tragic loss of nearly 1,000 lives.This is part two of their storyExclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramXVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
