  The tactics that are used for psychological manipulation
• 0:09
  by the cult are, you should be aware of them
• 0:14
  simply because if there's somebody in your life
• 0:20
  who starts to exhibit some of these behaviors,
• 0:23
  they may be in a cult.
• 0:25
  And you may be tempted to think that like a cult
• 0:29
  looks a certain way, you know, maybe, maybe not.
• 0:33
  Here are some of the telltale signs, right?
• 0:39
  Number one is isolation.
• 0:40
  One of the first things they do is isolate you,
• 0:43
  get you away from your friends and family
• 0:46
  because your friends and family will rightly tell you,
• 0:48
  hey man, this sounds like a cult.
• 0:50
  So get away from that.
• 0:54
  There's a plenty of hypnosis that goes on
• 1:00
  in these cults.
• 1:04
  I think that should probably go without saying,
• 1:09
  but I say it as a reminder that these people aren't stupid.
• 1:16
  The people who get caught up in cults,
• 1:19
  when they get interviewed in the aftermath,
• 1:21
  you go, they're not dumb.
• 1:24
  Like it's not a guy who's just constantly
• 1:26
  buying lottery scratch off tickets,
• 1:27
  because he's like, I can get that guy in a cult.
• 1:29
  He's clearly bad at statistical analysis.
• 1:32
  Like I could probably convince him to do just about anything.
• 1:35
  Yeah, but the people who get caught up in the cult,
• 1:39
  it almost works better on smart people
• 1:43
  because they don't, their guard is down.
• 1:45
  It certainly works better on nice people
• 1:48
  because you don't have the preconceived idea
• 1:51
  that somebody might be trying to pull one over on you.
• 1:55
  If you're just like a nice, maybe nice is the wrong word, naive,
• 2:00
  you don't have the abilities to read people properly.
• 2:05
  Maybe you came from a small town
• 2:07
  and everybody in your small town is relatively the same way.
• 2:10
  Move to a big city, get off the bus,
• 2:14
  at the bus stop and there's scammers with clipboards.
• 2:17
  Everybody's looking to take advantage of you.
• 2:19
  If you don't know what you don't know, you're in trouble.
• 2:22
  So these cults will take, and you see them lure you in.
• 2:28
  And cults are, again, it's not all satanic cults.
• 2:32
  Scientology is a cult.
• 2:35
  Dianetics, the book, the major book for Scientology,
• 2:38
  the way they get you into Scientology
• 2:40
  is to get you to read this book.
• 2:42
  They're not clubbing you over the head
• 2:45
  and putting you in a black bag
• 2:46
  and dragging you off in a white van or something like that.
• 2:48
  They don't need to.
• 2:49
  In fact, it works way better
• 2:51
  when you ring the doorbell and show up on your own.
• 2:54
  So if they can convince you to believe absurdities,
• 3:00
  they've got you, right?
• 3:01
  So there's peer pressure that gets applied.
• 3:05
  There's guilt that is used.
• 3:08
  There's love bombing.
• 3:10
  There's love removal.
• 3:13
  There's the removal of privacy.
• 3:15
  That does crazy things to people.
• 3:17
  Sleep deprivation, fear.
• 3:20
  So used methodically and strategically,
• 3:26
  you can condition people into joining your cult.
• 3:30
  You give them confusing doctrine.
• 3:33
  They're not allowed to question.
• 3:35
  Convince them to reject their old values, right?
• 3:39
  Get them into things like chanting and singing
• 3:43
  and change the way they dress just a little bit
• 3:47
  and change their diet a little bit,
• 3:49
  the things that they're eating.
• 3:52
  And then you can, once you do that,
• 3:57
  you can start the process
• 3:58
  of replacing the relationships that they have, right?
• 4:00
  You cut the relationships they had outside of the cult,
• 4:05
  form new relationships inside.
• 4:08
  A lot of times it's their sexual control that's happening,
• 4:11
  especially if you've got some swing and dick cult leader guy
• 4:17
  who's out there saying the way to find eternal happiness
• 4:22
  is to get on your knees.
• 4:24
  And there's been a lot of guys
• 4:26
  that have been pulling that act for a while.
• 4:30
  And it takes two to tango, right?
• 4:32
  You shouldn't be pulling that.
• 4:34
  But on the other hand, it's like,
• 4:35
  if you're dumb enough to believe that this cult...
• 4:37
  By the way, I mentioned Jared Leto bought Lookout Mountain.
• 4:40
  Have you seen him?
• 4:41
  I'm pretty sure he's running a cult
• 4:43
  in the white flowing shirt
• 4:45
  and the linen pants and everything.
• 4:47
  He is one step away.
• 4:50
  And there's a bunch of ladies
• 4:52
  that would love to join that cult.
• 4:55
  Talented, he's super talented,
• 4:57
  great actor, great singer.
• 4:58
  Seems like a fun guy, good looking guy.
• 5:02
  But you'd be in a cult.
• 5:04
  Next thing you know,
• 5:04
  you would be signing away
• 5:05
  all of your worldly possessions to this guy.
• 5:09
  But they do that.
• 5:11
  I mean, there's a financial commitment.
• 5:13
  These cults ain't free.
• 5:15
  You gotta work, baby.
• 5:18
  And then they also start the process of torturing you.
• 5:23
  Mentally torturing you, physically torturing you,
• 5:25
  sexually torturing you.
• 5:27
  Nexium cult was a thing for a reason.
• 5:30
  They brand you, in that case, they're branding people.
• 5:35
  This is all a manipulation tactic.
• 5:40
  It's not accidental.
• 5:41
  It's not that these people
• 5:42
  are necessarily just mean.
• 5:44
  They know the process
• 5:46
  that you can shatter somebody's psyche.
• 5:49
  You can destroy their brain.
• 5:52
  You can force them to compartmentalize
• 5:57
  their entire existence into multiple personalities.
• 6:01
  That's how they do it.
• 6:04
  And if you know how to fragment somebody's mind,
• 6:07
  you are in a position of power over them, right?
• 6:10
  It's unfair advantage.
• 6:12
  So these are dark operators
• 6:15
  that are looking to control people
• 6:17
  for a variety of reasons.
• 6:19
  It's important to know how it happens,
• 6:21
  the tactics that they use.
• 6:22
  It's also important to not allow,
• 6:25
  if this were to happen to you
• 6:26
  or somebody in your, like,
• 6:30
  I'm goofing on it a little bit
• 6:32
  and I'm kind of wagging my finger,
• 6:34
  sort of, at people who get caught up in this
• 6:37
  and I'm kind of saying, you know,
• 6:38
  like, hey, don't be dumb.
• 6:40
  But if you did go through this
• 6:42
  and you did get caught up in it,
• 6:45
  you need to understand that you were,
• 6:47
  you were up against powers
• 6:48
  you were never going to beat.
• 6:50
  You know, they had you
• 6:51
  figured out from the beginning
• 6:53
  before you even saw them,
• 6:55
  they saw you.
• 6:57
  And they knew how to work on your head
• 6:58
  and they knew how to push your buttons
• 7:00
  and get you to feel the way that you feel.
• 7:03
  And it's almost not your fault.
• 7:05
  I mean, it, you know,
• 7:07
  you got to take some responsibility for this, right?
• 7:11
  Of course.
• 7:12
  But I don't want people to,
• 7:15
  I don't want people to feel
• 7:17
  that they'd rather stay in the cult
• 7:20
  than leave the cult
• 7:22
  and face humiliation for being,
• 7:26
  you know, hey, you were in a cult,
• 7:28
  look at you, you're so stupid, right?
• 7:29
  No, get over that.
• 7:31
  Get yourself out of that cult
• 7:33
  as fast as you can.
• 7:35
  Don't worry about what people say.
• 7:37
  This is life or death.
• 7:38
  This is a dangerous game
• 7:40
  that these people are playing.
• 7:41
