He's dedicated decades to studying destructive groups, helping former members recover, and understanding how these organizations trap and manipulate people.In this conversation, we'll explore the fascinating connections between 20th-century cults, the New Age movement, and figures like Madame Blavatsky. We'll examine the psychological underpinnings of authoritarian systems and why certain leaders seem to change their doctrines at whim while maintaining control over their followers.Jon’s LinksIf Scientology Ruled the World: https://www.amazon.com/If-Scientology-Ruled-World-Occultists-ebook/dp/B0FP5PMNJTJon’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jonatackfamilyfriends6176Jon’s Website: https://jonatack.co.uk/Connect with us on social media:⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/indoctrination⁠⁠Watch full video episodes of IndoctriNation here:⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNAi0T2hzH9dM029dkTfj635PzuXl67jS⁠⁠Support IndoctriNation on Patreon for exclusive bonus episodes and more: https://www.patreon.com/indoctrination⁠Prefer to support the IndoctriNation show with a one-time donation?
