I want to give you a taste of how tangled this web is and who you may (not) think is participating.
Let's take the Best Friends Animal Society - https://bestfriends.org/
Seems like a good cause, right? Keep reading...
Looking at Wikipedia, we can see that they were formerly called - Best Friends Animal Sanctuary; Foundation Faith of the Millennium; and Process Church of the Final Judgement.
Let's examine the Process Church as described in the book:
"In the early 1960s, two ranking members of the Church of Scientology—Robert Moore and Mary Anne MacLean, better known as the DeGrimstons—split off from London’s Hubbard Institute to form the Process Church of the Final Judgment *** —a group whose official logo is a modified swastika and whose literature included glowing tributes to Nazism, Satan, gore and necrophilia"
*** "A February 2004 report from Denver’s Rocky Mountain News revealed that the Process Church is alive and well today after a series of name changes (Lou Kilzer “Friends Find Their Calling,” February 28, 2004)."
STILL ALIVE AND WELL!?
"From its inception, the Process made no effort to hide its infatuation with death, destruction and cultural terrorism. .... Another essay that appeared in the official Process publication urged readers to experience the pleasures of grave robbing and necrophilia."
"The group, which still includes many original members, is now known to rub shoulders with various Hollywood celebrities."
"Author Michael Newton has written: “If law-enforcement spokesmen are correct, the cult is also deeply involved in white slavery, child pornography, and the international narcotics trade.”"
Absolutely insane, and I'm not saying this book should be taken as the gospel, but when you start to do your own fact-checking, and take into consideration some of the absurd sentencing some criminals receive now-a-days, it becomes more and more plausible that this world is a lot more fucked than you might imagine.
