What is a High Control group aka cult?
High control groups are organizations (religious, political, therapeutic, or otherwise) that tightly regulate members' behavior, thoughts, emotions, and access to information. They often demand strict obedience to leadership and discourage questioning or dissent.
The BITE model explains how high control groups manipulate people using four types of control:
- Behavior Control – Regulates where you live, what you wear, who you date, eat, or associate with.
- Information Control – Restricts access to outside info, distorts truth, and uses deception or censorship.
- Thought Control – Encourages black-and-white thinking, loyalty to group ideology, and suppresses doubt or critical thinking.
- Emotional Control – Uses guilt, fear, shame, or threats (like hell or rejection) to maintain obedience and loyalty.

Active Cults
Zizians
The Zizians are a group led by Jack Lasota (aka "Ziz"), a former rationalist blogger whose philosophy involved the idea that the hemispheres of the brain have their own personalities and are trying to kill each other. Linked to at least six murders across the U.S., including a landlord's stabbing, a double homicide, and a deadly border patrol shootout, the group has attracted law enforcement scrutiny. Members often lived nomadically, clashed with landlords, and justified lawbreaking with warped rationalist logic. Lasota was falsely declared dead in 2022, but reappeared and was recently arrested with two others in Maryland after a nationwide manhunt.
Poop Cult
Jillian Epperly leads a Facebook-based group of over 30,000 people that has been dubbed the “Poop Cult,” centered around her homemade “Jilly Juice” — a fermented cabbage and saltwater concoction she claims cures everything from autism to aging by flushing out so-called "weaponized parasites." Members report severe side effects (seizures, vomiting, bloody stools), yet are told these are “healing symptoms.” Jillian, who openly engages in coprophilic behavior on livestream and brags about defecating in public, enforces strict control over discussion and mocks dissenters. She promotes pseudoscience tied to conspiracy theories like chemtrails and has encouraged giving the juice to children and infants, with at least two deaths allegedly linked to her protocol.

Leaders Jeff and Shaleia
Twin Flames Universe, led by Jeff and Shaleia Divine, is a coercive spiritual group centered around the belief that every person has a predestined soulmate or “twin flame”—the other half of their soul. While their teachings appear rooted in love and healing, former members and investigators describe the group as an emotionally manipulative cult. Vulnerable individuals, especially women struggling with mental health or loneliness, were lured in with promises of romantic fulfillment and divine union. The group’s signature “mirror exercise” encouraged followers to blame themselves for any discomfort or rejection, fostering deep self-doubt and dependency on the leaders’ guidance.
As natural romantic matches failed to form, Jeff claimed to “channel” God’s will to assign partners within the group—often forcibly. Several members were pressured to enter or stay in relationships they didn’t want, and in some cases, women were told to transition to male identities to fulfill Jeff’s claims about divine masculinity. Testimonies from ex-members like Angie Moggy and Victoria Bonilla reveal extreme psychological manipulation, identity coercion, and spiritual abuse. The group gained wider public attention through documentaries like Escaping Twin Flames (Netflix) and Desperately Seeking Soulmate (Amazon Prime), which detail the cult’s inner workings and the harm it caused.

Teal Swan is a controversial spiritual influencer and self-proclaimed healer who has amassed a large following through YouTube videos, books, workshops, and online communities. She presents herself as a trauma survivor with extrasensory abilities and promotes a method called The Completion Process, which involves confronting and immersing oneself in painful emotions and memories to achieve personal transformation.
Swan claims that as a child she was subjected to MK-Ultra style satanic abuse.
The 2022 Freeform docuseries The Deep End scrutinized Swan’s methods and internal group dynamics, revealing a community structured around intense emotional vulnerability, total devotion to Swan, and a cult-like atmosphere. The series showed Swan urging suicidal followers to visualize their own deaths and asking deeply vulnerable questions during workshops. One of these sessions involved using frog poison to induce hallucinations. Swan, in turn, accused the filmmakers of deceptive editing and continues to deny allegations of coercion or cult leadership.
Several deaths by suicide have been linked to her followers, raising further alarm. While some family members have directly blamed Swan’s teachings, others—like the husband of one follower—have continued to support her. Swan defends her approach by claiming she meets people where they are emotionally, rather than dismissing their pain, and that her work is misunderstood and unfairly demonized.

In 2020, she and her group decided to send a member packing by drugging him, stripping him and leaving him for dead in the desert. (link)
She referred to her followers as her children, whom she only allowed 2-4 hours of sleep.
She passed away in 2021 from a mix of long term alcohol abuse, anorexia and chronic colloidal silver ingestion. When she died her followers covered her in glitter, wrapped her in a sleeping bag decorated with Christmas lights, and took the corpse camping with them expecting it to be picked up by the "Galactics".
When this didn't happen she was taken back to a member's home who later went to the police, who'd go on to find her glitter covered mummified corpse.

Leader Jaime Gomez
Master Michel, born Jaime Gomez in Venezuela, rebranded himself as the spiritual leader of Buddhafield after an unsuccessful stint in Hollywood and gay pornography. As a self-styled guru and hypnotherapist, he manipulated his followers—mainly young men—into sexual encounters during private sessions, while demanding total devotion, obedience, and physical perfection. He enforced strict lifestyle controls, banning books and media, yet paradoxically pressured devotees into cosmetic surgery and rigorous physical routines like ballet. His cult, marked by psychological control and exploitation, was exposed in the 2016 documentary Holy Hell. Despite the revelations, Gomez—now calling himself Andreas—relocated the group to Hawaii, where it remains active, and he has never faced criminal charges.
Mormons
Part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), they are a religious group founded in the early 19th century in the United States by Joseph Smith, a pedophile who had sex with 15 year olds. According to Mormon belief, Smith received divine revelations and unearthed a sacred text—the Book of Mormon—which he said was translated from golden plates given to him by an angel named Moroni.
Early Mormonism was controversial for practices like polygamy, which the mainstream LDS Church officially abandoned in 1890. However, some fundamentalist breakaway groups (FLDS) still practice it.
They refrain from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea, drugs and premarital sex (see soaking). Younger members are encouraged to volunteer around the world to spread the word.
Mormons are the gift that keeps on giving, from shows like TLC's My Husband Isn't Gay, to criminals like Lori Vallow and Ruby Franke.
Ruby Franke
Ruby Franke, family vlogger mom behind 8 Passengers who exploited and abused her children, keeping detailed journals of the abuse. Had a lesbian relationship with accomplice and fellow child torturer, former counselor Jodi Hildebrandt, whose license was first put on probation for disclosing confidential information and now permanently revoked.
Her husband claims their house became haunted after Jodi moved in and he was subsequently kicked out. Jodi and Ruby were convinced the children were possessed by "evil spirits" and the punishment was necessary to drive out these spirits.
They were both arrested after one of Ruby's kids, a severely emaciated 12 year old boy, escaped and asked the neighbor for help.
The police searched her house, finding more of her starved kids, locked in closets and restrained.
They were both charged with aggravated child abuse and are currently in jail.

Lori Vallow Daybell, aka Doomsday Mom
Sentenced to life without parole with her husband Chad after the deaths of her children and her husband's first wife.
Before marrying her, Chad, also married, was known as a doomsday book writer. It was through these books that Lori became acquainted with him.
They would talk about "zombies" - people whose souls were replaced by "dark spirits". Around this time, Lori began to refer to her then husband Charles as a "demon".
They were arrested when 2 of her children disappeared and were later found buried in her backyard.

Ching Hai's vegan cult
Ching Hai, self-styled as “Supreme Master,” leads a global doomsday vegan cult that mixes Buddhism, pop spirituality, Trump worship, and conspiracy theories. She claims to be a divine prophet warning that a solar flare will kill non-vegans by June 1, 2025. Her empire includes a tax-exempt religious group, a 24/7 propaganda TV network, vegan restaurant chain Loving Hut (staffed mostly by followers), and luxury merchandise branded with her image. Despite a history of environmental violations, financial scandals, and authoritarian group control, Ching Hai has also been praised for humanitarian efforts. Critics call her a dangerous narcissist and cult leader exploiting her followers under the guise of spiritual enlightenment and vegan salvation.
Twelve Tribes
The Twelve Tribes is a controversial religious group founded by Gene Spriggs in 1972 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, originally part of the Jesus Movement.
Members live communally, run businesses like the Yellow Deli restaurants, and follow a strict interpretation of Christian and Jewish laws.
The Twelve Tribes believe that all other religious denominations have fallen and consider themselves the only true believers. They refer to Jesus as “Yahshua,” assign Hebrew names to members, and aim to restore the Twelve Tribes of Israel to prepare for the Messiah’s return. Their theology includes corporal punishment of children, gender roles, and end-times eschatology. Their organizational structure includes an Apostolic Council, and they operate under a 501(d) tax designation, enabling them to live communally and operate tax-exempt businesses.
The group has long been surrounded by controversy, including allegations of child abuse, corporal punishment, child labor, antisemitic and racist teachings, and authoritarian control. They’ve faced multiple raids, most notably the 1984 Vermont raid, during which 112 children were taken into custody but later returned after the warrant was deemed unconstitutional. Investigations in Germany, France, Australia, and the U.S. have highlighted issues such as homeschooling violations, severe corporal punishment, and alleged deaths and abuse within the group.
Despite repeated accusations, media scrutiny, and government probes, the Twelve Tribes continue to operate, largely insulated within their own communities. While some former members have spoken out—describing traumatic experiences and cult-like control—others remain committed, defending their lifestyle as biblically mandated and spiritually pure.
Amish
Inbred animal abusers
The Amish are a traditionalist Christian Anabaptist group that emerged from a 1693 schism within Swiss Mennonites led by Jakob Ammann. They emphasize plain living, humility, pacifism, and separation from modern society. Their daily life is governed by the Ordnung, a code outlining acceptable behaviors, including restrictions on technology and dress. Worship services are held in homes or barns, and children are educated in Amish-run schools, typically only through the eighth grade. Community, manual labor, and submission to God's will are central values.
The Amish have faced controversies related to dog breeding ("puppy mills"), refusal to use genetic testing, and educational limitations. The Amish are well known for abusing and neglecting their horses, with many news articles written on the subject. They also resist genetic screening for hereditary disorders—despite high prevalence due to a closed gene pool. Their refusal to educate children past eighth grade led to a major Supreme Court case (Wisconsin v. Yoder), affirming religious exemption.
7M Tiktok Cult
The 7M cult, led by Robert Shinn, operates as both a talent management agency (7M Films) and a religious group (Shekinah Church). Shinn, a self-proclaimed pastor and former doctor, recruited vulnerable young TikTok dancers and influencers by offering career support and housing, only to slowly indoctrinate them into a closed religious environment. Members were taught to sever emotional ties with family, submit fully to Shinn’s authority, and equate social media performance with spiritual duty. Behind the scenes, Shinn reportedly exercised extreme control over their lives, finances, and beliefs, positioning himself as a prophetic figure.
Former members have accused Shinn of psychological manipulation, financial exploitation, and even sexual abuse. He is said to have fostered dependency by controlling where members lived, how they earned income, and who they could interact with—framing any dissent as demonic rebellion. Several lawsuits have been filed against him for fraud, forced labor, and human trafficking, while public awareness grew after the release of the Netflix documentary Dancing for the Devil. Despite widespread allegations, 7M continues to operate, with some members still active online, denying abuse and praising Shinn’s leadership.

Shen Yun is a performing arts company founded by Falun Gong practitioners in 2006, aiming to revive traditional Chinese culture through elaborate dance and music performances. While celebrated for its classical Chinese artistry, Shen Yun embeds strong anti-communist and religious themes aligned with Falun Gong doctrine, including spiritual allegories, critiques of atheism, and depictions of persecution in China. This political content—rarely disclosed in marketing—has drawn both praise and criticism, and the Chinese Communist Party has actively tried to suppress Shen Yun abroad.
In recent years, serious abuse allegations have surfaced. Two former Shen Yun dancers filed a federal lawsuit in New York accusing the group of forced child labor and psychological coercion, describing brutal training conditions, injury, and fear-driven silence. Shen Yun denies the claims, calling them CCP propaganda, while its affiliated media arm, The Epoch Times, promotes pro-Trump and far-right conspiracy content worldwide. Closely tied to Falun Gong, The Epoch Times and Shen Yun reflect a broader ideological agenda under the guise of cultural revival and religious persecution.
Synanon (aka Tender Loving Care), WWASPS and offshoots
Synanon was a religious movement that started out as a mix of new religious movement, expression of the human potential movement, alternative psychotherapy and drug rehab. It's been described as "one of the most dangerous and violent cults America has ever seen". It disbanded in 1991 after several members were convicted of offenses including financial misdeeds, evidence tampering, terrorism and attempted murder.
Documentary on Synanon
Other groups started, such as The Seed and Drug Free America Foundation, mainly focused on drug rehabilitation and using methods that have been described by a senate report as on par with North Korean brainwashing techniques.
Other known associations are Kids helping Kids, known for holding a woman from age 13 to 26 for a fabricated addiction, and Provo Canyon School, for holding Paris Hilton.
Later on the WWASPS (World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools) was formed. It was an umbrella of over 20 something programs, collecting monthly fees per child.
Known for killing many students via neglect, direct abuse, or suicide and getting away with it. This association was deeply connected to Mormons, who still own the majority of this industry.
WWASPS ran a program called "High Impact", which consisted on a torture camp in the Mexican desert. It was closed by federales and the kids were sent back to the USA to WWASPS programs.
Predictably predators thrived in these environments. Commonly they'd give affection and love bomb someone who was particularly broken and isolated, shun them, then demand sexual favors for predatory care and affection.
Although WWASPS no longer exists, these programs still exist and are very much active all over the USA. The same people who owned WWASPS in the past have reopened using new names with new umbrella LLCs. Several of these are owned by Narvin Lichfield, younger brother of Robert "Bob" Lichfield (from Provo Canyon School), known for grooming and abusing thousands of children and young women to this day.
Children of God aka The Family International
The Children of God, later rebranded as The Family International (TFI), was founded in 1968 by David Berg, who declared himself a prophetic figure named “Moses David.” Originally emerging from the Jesus Movement, the group quickly devolved into an authoritarian cult marked by extreme control, sexual abuse, and theological manipulation. Berg’s teachings combined doomsday prophecies, distorted Christianity, and “free love,” urging members to abandon their families, possessions, and critical thinking. One infamous practice, “Flirty Fishing,” had women use sex to recruit men or gain donations, while institutional child abuse was rampant, often justified as divine will. Survivors like Rose McGowan and Joaquin Phoenix have since spoken publicly about the trauma they endured. This group is infamous for producing and disseminating child pornography.
As the cult evolved, TFI adopted increasingly surreal beliefs. Members were cast as spiritual warriors using supernatural "weapons" such as prayer and “Keys of the Kingdom,” with teachings often delivered in comics and songs for children. Followers were told to summon “Spirit Helpers,” including dead celebrities like Elvis and Nixon, and to cultivate a sexual relationship with Jesus through graphic visualizations and poetry. Men were even instructed to imagine themselves as women during these fantasies to avoid homosexual thoughts. Despite widespread condemnation, The Family International still exists today, with former members like the Knitting Cult Lady sharing their stories online to expose the group's enduring legacy of abuse and manipulation.
They were notorious for producing pop songs and music videos, such as Cathy Don't Go, featuring a woman who goes to the supermarket where customers have barcodes on their hands and foreheads, and who almost gets implanted with a "666 (number)".

Universal Medicine
Esoteric breast massages and ovary readings
"I orgasm like a woman every time I orgasm as much as I do as a man, and often more as a woman" - Serge Benhayon
Universal Medicine (UM) is a cult founded in 1999 by Serge Benhayon, a former tennis coach with no medical training. Based in Australia with international branches, UM promotes "esoteric healing" practices such as esoteric breast massage, chakra-puncture, and ovarian readings—performed by Serge himself. Benhayon claims to be the reincarnation of historical figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Pythagoras and teaches that autism and disability are caused by bad karma from past lives. He leads a doctrine called "The Way of the Livingness," which blends New Age spirituality with theosophy and heavily controls followers’ diets, beliefs, relationships, and even music preferences.
The organization has been widely condemned as a cult by journalists, former members, medical professionals, and the courts. In a 2018 Australian defamation case, a jury found it substantially true that UM is a socially harmful cult and that Benhayon had made fraudulent healing claims, manipulated followers, preyed on cancer patients, and has a "special interest" in 10 year old girls. Critics have reported that UM divides families, exerts undue influence over vulnerable individuals, and pressures followers to make large donations or leave assets in their wills. Attempts to expose UM have been met with legal threats, online harassment, and aggressive public relations tactics.
UM has also come under fire for its infiltration of health and educational institutions, with some registered doctors promoting or referring patients to UM's unregulated therapies. Public funds were previously directed toward UM-related programs before government departments severed ties following media scrutiny. In the UK, family courts have ruled that UM's influence poses a danger to children, stripping custody from a mother who refused to break ties with the group. Despite official denials, the courts, regulatory bodies, and investigative journalists have consistently identified Universal Medicine as a manipulative, harmful organization masquerading as a spiritual healing movement.
Order of 9 Angles, 764/Harm Nation and offshoots
The Order of Nine Angles (ONA or O9A) is a fringe, occult-inspired neo-Nazi group that blends Satanism with Neo-Nazi ideology. Founded in the UK, O9A promotes ritualistic evil, human sacrifice (dubbed "culling"), and the idea that true spiritual growth comes from transgression. Though often dismissed as LARPers, O9A’s ideology has seeped into various online subcultures, especially among disaffected youth who crave control, chaos, and identity through “sinister” aesthetics. While most extortionists in this saga weren’t actual believers, O9A’s ideas—especially as filtered through groups like Atomwaffen (thread)—provided symbolic and stylistic fuel for what came next: digital cults built on power, gore, and domination.
Enter 764 (thread), a Discord-born extortion ring founded by Bradley Cadenhead (Brad764) and inspired by earlier groups like CVLT, which was known for extortion, pedophilia and kidnapping. Victims—often minors—were groomed into making “fansigns” (writing usernames in blood), harming pets, or committing acts of self-harm and degradation. 764, and offshoots like Harm Nation, KasKar, and Brick Squad, attracted sadists and unstable youth who found in them a mix of community, hierarchy, and twisted validation. Members often claimed to be “Satanists” or anarchists, but most just used the aesthetic as a costume to justify their violence and manipulate others into worshipping them.
These groups committed and livestreamed real crimes. One member, Nino Luciano, murdered a 74-year-old woman on Discord in a terrorist initiation. Another, Kyle Spitze, groomed thousands, filmed his dead mother, and became a viral sensation after getting shot by a family member. Others like Yuki orchestrated extortion-for-hire schemes and caused IRL tragedies, including suicides and a baby's death. Their “community” was a patchwork of Telegram channels, Discord servers, and imageboards like 4chan and Soyjak.party, where they shared content, recruited new victims, and competed for clout.
Ironically, anti-extortion groups (AEs) meant to fight back often mirrored the chaos. Groups like Cre.ep started as vigilantes but were quickly exposed as compromised, with members like Knight admitting to being extorters themselves. These AE groups were plagued by infighting, catfishing, doxxing wars, and hypocrisy—sometimes more obsessed with clout than justice. While Telegram crackdowns pushed some groups underground, the culture they created still exists.
Korps and HexKorps
The Korps is an internet-based cult operating primarily through Discord, known for blending furry culture, trans identity fetishism, and mind control roleplay into a bizarre, sexually charged subculture. Led by two MtF individuals—Dave Anthony (aka Karen King) and Dave Ferris (aka Hope Elizabeth Ferris)—the Korps presents itself as an exclusive, invite-only community. Recruitment tactics include love-bombing strangers with gifts, encouragement to transition, and participation in elaborate LARPing scenarios involving brainwashing, transformation, and "world domination" fantasies. Members often wear glowing pink visor glasses that supposedly aid in "brainwashing" new recruits.
Beyond its cult aesthetic, the Korps is infamous for disturbing fetish content, including oviposition, gore, and decapitation fantasy art. The leaders, especially Ferris, are accused of grooming members—particularly targeting vulnerable individuals—into adopting drone-like personas and exploring extreme transformation kinks under the guise of community support. Despite denial from its founders, the group is widely reviled within the broader furry and transgender online spaces, viewed as predatory and toxic. Events like "Korpscon" (so far only online) further reinforce their insular and increasingly extreme group behavior.
HexCorp is a separate but thematically similar cult-like fetish community centered around "dronification," a kink that merges hypnosis, latex, transformation, and identity erasure. Popularized by a nonbinary figure who goes by the title "Mxtress," HexCorp promotes a techno-hive aesthetic where members renounce individuality and speak in assigned ID codes, referring to themselves as "it." Like Korps, HexCorp involves live roleplay and fetish programming, but its structure is less about emotional manipulation and more about depersonalized submission to the "Hive." The leader even developed a browser extension that replaces images with spirals to subliminally recruit others, exemplifying the fetish’s techno-dystopian flavor.
Nation of Islam
Black Scientology
Yakub
Yakub
The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a religious and political movement founded in 1930 by Wallace Fard Muhammad in Detroit, with the goal of uplifting African Americans through black nationalism, self-sufficiency, and a radical reinterpretation of Islam. It teaches that God is a succession of mortal black men, the latest being Fard Muhammad himself. Central to its theology is the myth that a scientist named Yakub created the white race through selective breeding, making them inherently violent and devoid of divinity. The NOI espouses a millenarian vision, believing a spaceship called the “Mother Plane” will bring about the end of white rule and usher in a black utopia. While its language borrows from Islamic and Christian sources, its theology and practices are seen as heretical by mainstream Islam.
Over time, the NOI has gone through major transformations. After Fard Muhammad’s disappearance, Elijah Muhammad assumed leadership, expanding the movement and declaring Fard to be God incarnate. Influential figures like Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali joined during this era. Following Elijah’s death in 1975, his son Warith Deen Muhammad steered the organization toward Sunni Islam, renaming it and dismantling many of its core doctrines. Louis Farrakhan later revived the original teachings and structure in 1977, reestablishing the NOI as a black nationalist movement with a continued emphasis on separatism, economic independence, and moral discipline. Farrakhan also controversially integrated elements of Scientology into the group’s practices.
the NOI has maintained influence, particularly in African American communities, by promoting self-reliance, combating drug use and gang violence, and providing social services in underserved areas. Its mythology, symbolism, and strong identity have attracted followers—especially in prisons—and inspired figures in black music and culture.
Yakub was a black scientist born 6,600 years ago near Mecca, nicknamed "Big Head" due to his enormous cranium, which contained two brains, and his arrogance. By age six, he had discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets. This discovery inspired him to manipulate the genetic “germs” in human beings—specifically separating the dominant “black germ” from the recessive “brown germ”—with the ultimate goal of creating an entirely new race: white people. This process, called “grafting,” took place on the island of Patmos (renamed "Pelan" in NOI lore), where Yakub and his 59,999 followers set up a eugenics regime that lasted centuries. Babies born too dark were incinerated or fed to wild animals. After 600 years of selective breeding, the white race was complete, engineered with a violent, deceitful nature intended to rule the world through “tricknology” until the year 1914.
The white race, born from lies, murder, and manipulation, was destined to dominate the original Black Asiatic people and erase their true history. Once their destructive rule began, the newly created white people were exiled to the caves of Europe, where they regressed into near-animal behavior, including bestiality, losing everything except their language. Some of the new white race tried to become black but failed, turning into gorillas and other monkeys instead.
Prophets were sent to civilize the white race. Moses taught them to cook and wear clothes but eventually resorted to blowing up 300 of them with dynamite out of frustration. Jesus, too, was sent to uplift them, but the damage was done: Yakub’s children had mastered the art of deceit and began their 6,000-year dominion, which culminated in the transatlantic slave trade. According to the NOI, their time ended in 1914, at which point power would return to the original black people.
Current leader Louis Farrakhan maintains Yakub was a real scientist, whose work has supposedly been vindicated by modern genetics.
The Nuwaubian Nation’s retelling of the myth places Yakub’s origin not in ancient Mecca but 17 million years ago on a planet called Rizk in the “Original Tri-Solar System.” Here, the ancestors of black people—godlike Riziquians—used a spaceship/throne named Nibiru to travel to Earth and mine gold to repair their ozone layer, which had been damaged by Shaitan (the leader of the fallen angels) detonating an atomic bomb. These extraterrestrial gods didn’t want to do manual labor, so they genetically engineered humans from Homo erectus.
In the Nuwaubian retelling, humans originally had psychic powers, but after a series of spiritual betrayals, the Riziquians surgically removed the gland responsible for those abilities. Yakub, born with two brains (hence the infamous “big head”), was uniquely suited to further gene manipulation. His greatest and final act was the creation of the white race—an experiment so intense that one of his brains exploded, killing him.

His greatest and final act was the creation of the white race—an experiment so intense that one of his brains exploded, killing him.
Nuwaubian Nation
Black Supremacy and Ancient Aliens, offshoot of Nation of Islam

The Nuwaubian Nation is a bizarre and dangerous religious movement founded by Dwight York, a self-styled prophet who reinvented himself repeatedly—first as a Black Muslim leader, then as an Egyptian mystic, a Native American Moor, and finally as a UFO messiah. York’s theology was a chaotic mix of Islam, Ancient Egypt, UFO lore, black supremacy, pseudo-linguistics, and conspiracy theories, all packaged in pseudo-scholarly "scrolls" he wrote under various aliases. By the 1990s, he’d moved his group to rural Georgia and built an Egyptian-themed compound called Tama-Re, claiming it was the seat of a lost African civilization and that his followers were the original Native Americans.
Despite its outlandish beliefs—like white people being genetically engineered killers and Jesus being a fusion of Jah and Zeus—the movement gained a significant following, with thousands attending its “Savior’s Day” events. York positioned himself as a divine teacher and celestial being, but in 2002, his empire collapsed when he was arrested and later convicted on 197 counts of child molestation, racketeering, and financial crimes. He was sentenced to 135 years in prison, and Tama-Re was demolished. York’s crimes were so prolific, his case became one of the largest single-person child molestation prosecutions in U.S. history.
The Nuwaubians tried to influence local politics, infiltrate the Republican party, claim indigenous identity, and threaten officials when faced with zoning violations. After York's arrest, some followers turned militant, smuggling propaganda into jails and calling him a political prisoner framed by the white power structure. A few factions still survive today, especially under names like United Sabaeans Worldwide, continuing to worship York and spread his “teachings” online.
Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI)
The Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) are a loosely affiliated religious movement that believes African Americans are the true descendants of the ancient Israelites. Originating in the late 19th century, BHI groups combine elements of Christianity, Judaism, and Black nationalism. The movement is not homogenous—some sects follow Jewish traditions closely, while others embrace messianic or even apocalyptic teachings. Most are not recognized as Jewish by mainstream Jewish communities, nor do they align with mainstream Christianity. Despite their diverse theology, BHI groups generally share a belief in a historical and spiritual connection between Black people and the biblical Hebrews.
While many BHI sects are peaceful and focus on community and religious identity, some extremist offshoots have been labeled hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League due to antisemitic, racist, and separatist rhetoric. Fringe members have been involved in violent incidents, including the 2019 Jersey City shooting and the 1974 murder of Alberta King (MLK's mother).
Scientology
Scientology, founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard in the 1950s, originated from his pseudoscientific self-help system Dianetics before evolving into a religion—likely to obtain tax and legal protection. The Church of Scientology promotes doctrines centered on “engrams” (mental traumas) and promises spiritual advancement through “auditing,” a process in which members pay to reach the state of “Clear” and beyond. Advanced stages, known as “Operating Thetan” levels, involve secretive and bizarre teachings, including a science fiction narrative in which an alien overlord named Xenu caused a mass genocide that still affects humanity.
The Church has long been accused of operating more like a cult or abusive corporation than a religion. Former members and critics allege coercive control, harassment, financial exploitation, and forced disconnection from family members. Reports have included child labor, psychological manipulation, and even forced abortions. The organization was behind one of the largest known infiltrations of the U.S. government, Operation Snow White, and continues to use intimidation tactics, such as the “Fair Game” policy, against critics. While Scientology enjoys tax-exempt religious status in the U.S., many other countries view it as a dangerous cult. High-profile celebrities like Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Nancy Cartwright remain loyal public faces of the organization.
The Xenu myth begins 75 million years ago in a galactic empire known as the "Galactic Confederacy," ruled by the despotic alien Xenu. According to L. Ron Hubbard, Xenu faced overpopulation across 76 planets, each teeming with billions of citizens. His solution, devised with the help of galactic psychiatrists, was mass extermination: citizens were summoned under false pretenses, sedated, frozen in alcohol and glycol, and loaded into spacecraft resembling 1950s DC-8 airplanes. They were flown to Earth—then called Teegeeack—where they were dumped into volcanoes and annihilated by hydrogen bombs. The disembodied souls of the dead, called thetans, were then brainwashed with a 36-day-long “3D super colossal motion picture” that implanted every major world religion into their minds—including Christianity, which Hubbard claimed was a product of this trauma.
These corrupted souls, now disoriented and identity-less, began clumping together into what are known as body thetans, which still cling to modern humans, causing spiritual and psychological distress. Only high-level Scientologists, through expensive and lengthy “auditing” procedures, can remove these parasitic entities and achieve spiritual freedom. Hubbard warned that confronting this knowledge unprepared could result in death by pneumonia, a claim he used to justify the secrecy and cost of the OT III level. He also insisted that he alone had survived the deadly “Wall of Fire” that guarded these secrets, emerging with broken bones and divine insight. Xenu, meanwhile, was eventually overthrown by a rebel faction called the “Loyal Officers” and imprisoned in a high-tech mountain trap, where he remains to this day.

Jehovah’s Witnesses are best known for their door-to-door evangelism and distribution of literature such as The Watchtower, though these practices function more as internal bonding rituals than effective outreach. The group holds distinct beliefs including the rejection of blood transfusions and the conviction that the current world system will soon be destroyed at Armageddon. Members are prohibited from celebrating holidays, serving in the military, engaging in politics, or pursuing higher education. Strict codes govern behavior, particularly sexual conduct, and those who violate these rules risk being disfellowshipped—formally shunned by their community.
The denomination has drawn widespread criticism for failed doomsday prophecies, mishandling of child sexual abuse cases, and a rigid internal culture that punishes dissent. Former members often describe deep emotional trauma caused by the shunning policy, which cuts them off from family and friends. Jehovah’s Witnesses have also faced government opposition, including bans and legal challenges in countries like Russia and China. However, in the U.S., their many court battles have significantly shaped religious liberty jurisprudence. Despite controversies and high turnover rates, the organization remains globally active, maintaining its growth through disciplined evangelism and centralized doctrinal control.
Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP)
Shiny Happy People
The Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), founded by Bill Gothard in 1961, is a fundamentalist Christian organization that gained influence through its rigid teachings on obedience, purity, and patriarchal authority. Its homeschool curriculum, the Advanced Training Institute (ATI), and its national seminars promoted an authoritarian interpretation of Christianity, where Gothard was treated as a quasi-prophet. Families were taught that male leadership was divinely ordained, women were to remain submissive homemakers, and children—especially girls—were expected to sacrifice autonomy for household roles. Disobedience was equated with sin, and corporal punishment was normalized as a means of “breaking the will” of children.
Gothard's teachings fostered insular, fear-based communities where secular life was demonized, higher education discouraged, and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse were often concealed under religious rhetoric. The Duggars of 19 Kids and Counting were the most visible adherents of IBLP, promoting its values on national television. However, Gothard’s empire began to collapse after numerous women accused him of sexual misconduct, leading to his resignation in 2014. Former members have since spoken out about the trauma of growing up in IBLP, describing lives marked by repression, forced labor, and psychological manipulation. Notably, the Duggars’ handling of Josh Duggar’s sexual abuse scandal—managing it internally and shielding him from legal consequences—was deeply shaped by IBLP’s teachings that prioritize male authority and institutional control over accountability. Worth noting that he had over 200 images of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on his work computer, including content involving children as young as 18 months old, including materials produced by infamous pedophile Peter Skuly. A Homeland Security agent described the material as among "the worst of the worst" he had encountered in his career.
Sokka Gakai
Soka Gakkai is a Japanese new religious movement rooted in Nichiren Buddhism, with a focus on chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to tap into a universal life force and unlock one’s inherent "Buddha nature." Its members believe that personal transformation—dubbed “human revolution”—can lead to global peace, culture, and happiness. The practice revolves around chanting to a calligraphic mandala (Gohonzon) enshrined in the home, and seeing one’s inner self reflected back. The group emphasizes absolute faith in the teachings of its founder figures, especially the charismatic Daisaku Ikeda, whose writings are treated almost like scripture. Komeito is the political arm of Soka Gakkai—a “Clean Government” party that began as a religious front and ended up as Japan’s most successful theocratic party.
Soka Gakkai has been accused of everything from destroying household altars of new recruits to bomb threats, arson, wiretapping political enemies, and conducting Beethoven’s Ode to Joy concerts that somehow offended their former Buddhist sect. Their secrecy around finances is legendary, with estimates of billions in assets and tightly controlled media empires. Add to that a rape allegation against Ikeda (dismissed, but still publicly damaging), and a recent lawsuit over spiritual noise pollution in the Everglades.
The Unification Church
"Moonies"
The Unification Church, officially known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, is a religious movement founded in 1954 by Sun Myung Moon in South Korea. Followers, often called Unificationists or "Moonies," believe Moon to be the Second Coming of Christ tasked with completing Jesus' mission by establishing an ideal, sinless family lineage. The church is widely known for its mass wedding "Blessing" ceremonies and teaches doctrines outlined in its sacred text, The Divine Principle. Over time, the church has built a vast network of religious, educational, media, and political organizations around the world.
The Unification Church has faced decades of criticism and scandal. Allegations include cult-like control over members, financial exploitation, political manipulation, and secret ties to intelligence agencies such as South Korea's KCIA. The church's business empire, lavish spending—like millions lost gambling in Las Vegas—and political lobbying, including alleged links to Shinzo Abe's assassination, have provoked outrage. Its theological claims, particularly Moon's self-declared messiahship and the idea of "sinless" bloodlines, have been condemned by mainstream Christian groups. In Japan, the church has been heavily sanctioned, culminating in a court-ordered dissolution in 2025 due to unethical fundraising practices and public backlash.
Aleph aka Aum Shinrikyo
Japanese nerve gas cult
Founded by Shoko Asahara in Japan in the 1980s, the group combined apocalyptic Buddhism, Hindu elements, and science fiction beliefs. It predicted global Armageddon and believed Asahara was a divine figure who could transfer karma and lead followers to salvation.
In 1995, Aum Shinrikyo carried out the deadly Tokyo subway sarin gas attack, killing 13 people and injuring over 1,000. The cult had experimented with chemical and biological weapons and maintained a secretive compound with its own labs and weapons development. Asahara and several top members were later arrested and executed for the attacks.
After Asahara's arrest and execution in 2018, the cult split into Aleph and Hikari no Wa. In 2019, a man named Kazuhiro Kusakabe drove his car into a crowd of pedestrians on New Year’s Day, as an act of revenge for Shoko Ashara’s, and other cultists, executions.
