#24 Nxivm…Path to Enlightenment Or Cult?

The headlines of NXIVM read like something out of a Dan Brown novel, 'Alleged sex cult under investigation by the FBI', or 'secret sorority branded initials, in weird slave/master ceremony.

Or things like 'Former Smallville actress arrested for sex trafficking' and 'Dynasty actress Cathrine Oxenburg pleads for help to rescue daughter from "sex cult".

But these are front page headlines in July of 2018, when the leader of a ‘self-described multi-level marketing company’ was arrested and charged with sex trafficing.

#23 Garrett Dorsten, Deprogramming & The Unification Church

...the young man reveals to the bar owner that he and his siblings have been living in seclusion on a farm nearby for the last nine years. It was like they were part of some cult, cut off from the rest of the world, not allowed to leave, and often physically abused by their captor for having “evil spirits” in them.

The most shocking part is who they were being held by...their own father.

Also we talk about the church in which Garrett last left, The Unification Church, and Ted Patrick. So we got our bases covered for a good ole "cult debate"! (If there's such a thing)

#21 The Death Of A Star

Ryan Singleton was a boy from Atlanta GA that dreamed of growing up and becoming a star. He dreamed of moving to Hollywood and making it big in his passions of acting, writing and filmmaking. He also had a passion for fashion and broke onto the scene as a model. Around 21 years old Ryan moved to Los Angeles California and almost instantly hit the jackpot.

Ryan started getting modeling gigs left and right, he was being invited to exclusive events, hanging out with stars, and living out everything he ever dreamed. Then all of a sudden things took an unexpected turn and within the next year Ryan would meet a sudden and horrific death. Alone, in the middle of the desert, and with most of his internal organs missing.

Strange circumstances and weird behavior preceded Ryan's death and now makes many question if there were more nefarious actions that lead to Ryan's demise.

#20 The Silence Is Deafening

On Dec. 16, 2009 Essence magazine published an article highlighting the details of 8 missing black women whose cases have received little to no media coverage.

It was titled ‘Have You Seen Her: When Black Women Go Missing The Silence Can Be Defaning’

The purpose was to show how little media cares to cover missing black women cases, it draws attention to a major flaw in the system.

#18 “Amerithrax” The Anthrax Attacks of 2001

In September of 2001 America experienced a series of calculated attacks meant to devastate and scare the American people. Nineteen Islamic extremists, associated with a group known as Al Qaeda, hijacked 4 planes and carried out suicide attacks, killing nearly 3000 people that day. A week later a second wave of attacks had started but this time the murder weapon was a deadly infectious disease...inhalation anthrax, we were facing a new threat, one that had been biologically engineered.

In just a few short months 5 people would be dead and 17 others would have their lives changed forever.

What was even scarier is, that as the investigation continued, all signs pointed to this attack being executed by one of our own.
