time for another totally

non-controversial totally safe for

youtube iceberg

hello everybody and welcome back to

windigoon today we are covering the

religion and

cult iceberg now i need to get a few

things out of the way before we get

started this iceberg does

contain definitive cults however that

doesn't mean everything on this iceberg

is a cult per se

the first ones that we're going to be

looking at are just sort of fringe

religious groups that don't really have

that much of a following

and whenever i talk about them i in no

way want to get across the point

that they are a cult just because

they're on this list

as a matter of fact even as we go

further down on this list some of the

ones that we're going to run

into are kind of structured weird so

like you'll have sort of

safe ideologies next to very not safe

ideologies

and i'm not really sure how that works

so just because something's on here

and even if it's on the same tier as a

very dangerous or bad thing

that doesn't mean that it itself is bad

it just means if anything that it's just

not as well known

also and i want to make this very clear

i am not a theologist by any means

uh some of these i've never heard of and

educated myself in the past couple days

over

religions are very intensive and

long spanning with their history and the

reason

practitioners do the things they do and

what their belief is

so in no way take me as like the final

authority on these things

as i'm getting my information through

text whereas in the real life

these ideologies made me much more one

way in emotions or the other

or their practices could be much more

spiritual or physical than i make them

out to be

or yadda yadda what i'm saying is if

you're interested in any of these

i encourage you to do your own research

as i am in no way

the final authority on what these

religions mean like i said before this

video is for educational purposes and

for entertainment

so i'm not saying anything on here to be

offensive to anyone

or to tell you or educate you on what

your own religion or what someone else's

might be

this is entirely a sort of gloss over

basic concepts of these ideologies

and i hold full respect to all involved

at least until we get to the bottom

tiers where

i don't hold any respect for them but

we'll get to that speaking of bottom

tiers

this is your viewer discretion i will be

more specific as we get closer

but right now saying there are going to

be very intense themes in the bottom

tiers as

we go from sort of like rare religions

down

to specific events in which people were

hurt in very extreme ways in some cases

so this is your warning now there will

be a warning then but fewer discretion

advised if you're not okay with

heavy topics you may want to set this

one out or at least set it out whenever

we get to the bottom

there will be time stamps for each tier

in the description so there's your

disclaimers we've got a lot to cover so

let's get into it

but as always thank you for watching

so i'm going to do something that i've

never done and i'm going to skip the

first two tiers of this iceberg

the reason for it is they're just

religions that are rather well known

like tier one had things like

catholicism and buddhism

and tier two had like mormonism and

certainism and those are common

religions that we're all familiar with

the purpose of this is to kind of look

at things that you may not be familiar

with or at least i wasn't familiar with

before

so like i said we're gonna skip the

first two and move

into the first niche ideologies with

tier three so starting with tier 3

is scientology scientology is something

that you're definitely familiar with if

you've been on the internet for a while

and is a religion that was founded by l

ron hubbard the basic faith belief

system of scientology
is that we as humans are actually

thetans that was created by

an alien known as xenu who put us on

earth several million years ago

and will one day come back to take us

away from it she knew themselves exist

as a member of the galactic confederacy

and the actual canon for scientology is

known as the space opera what most

people are interested in is the church's

interactions with the world around them

like for example the number of

celebrities that are a member of the

church as well as super secret shady

undergoings that happen within the

church

leading several people to believe that

it's all a front for some greater

new world order illuminati conspiracy

thing stack on top of that stories of

abuse have happened in the church

as well as cover-ups that have happened

with people who have passed away by

odd circumstances one of the most famous

interactions

is tom cruise who publicly shamed people

for using medicine

and psychiatrists saying that the church

is teaching should be all you need and

yeah stuff like that it just gets kind

of weird

nation of islam was founded by wallace

mohammed in chicago i also want to say

this now because it applies to this one

if at any point i say that something has

say core

christian values or core church of

latter-day saint values

it in no way means that this group is

representative

of the whole of that ideology to give

you an example that you may be more

familiar with

the kkk for example had beliefs that

came

off of the hebrew christian judaic

prophecy but they are in no way

representative of

christianity across the world as a whole

the same

applies to this so at any point i say

that this has

ideas of islam or judaism or whatever

it's just saying that they share some of

the values with those people

not that they are what all of those

people are making sure

the reason i specify that now is because

nation of islam is a very fringe group

that believes in full black supremacy

they believe that african americans are

the true chosen people of god

and that white people specifically were

created thousands of years ago

as an experiment by an evil scientist no

i'm not kidding

so by that logic why people are fake and

have no souls

and according to their belief one day

god will come back

and take exclusively the african

americans in heaven and leave

all of the soulless people to

die i guess they're also super

conservative in their belief system

saying that people should dress

appropriately and wear very straight

edged attire and

have since opened up the nation to

different races as long as you're not

white christian science was founded off

of the book science and health

by mary eddie the basic concept is that

sickness isn't real and is instead an

illusion

and through prayer alone you can get rid

of all sickness

this belief system has kind of died down

in recent years
with modern proponents saying that well

i guess medicine helps but

only if you also pray about it and has

worked its way into other natural

sciences as well levain satanism was

founded by

anton lebaye the core principles of the

religion come from frederick

nietzsche and anne rand basically ideas

that

nothing really matters and humans should

live communally the thing about levant

satanism that not a lot of people get is

while it does share the name it is not a

direct worship of satan himself

instead it's more so of a worship of

humanity

itself the religion is very materialist

and they don't have any beliefs in

worshiping a higher god or power

instead just existing and if it feels

good do it as well as pertaining some

aspects of

magic beliefs they are very similar to

the beliefs of the antichrist

even if inadvertently so see a lot of

people have the idea that the antichrist

in biblical prophecy is just an evil

figure that acts like the devil

but in actuality it is a forerunner for

the devil that

instead turns people to look at

themselves instead of god so in that

fashion

levain satanism kind of falls in line

with that

as a way of getting people to focus on

the inward man

rather than the outward body or outward

spirit i don't know that's just an

interesting parallel

that i found while researching this that

while not directly worshiping satan

it is technically through cause and

effect getting across the point of satan

so potato tomato amish old order is what

a lot of people

think of whenever they think of amish in

general however if you thought regular

amish were strict in only wearing

certain materials

old order amish aren't allowed to wear

things like buttons zippers or bright

colors

not only that but men are not allowed to

cut their beards as women are not

allowed to cut their hair

and they maintain more traditional ideas

such as
a very hardcore belief in christian

pacifism as in fighting is a last-life's

last resort and they don't maintain

church bodies instead choosing to

worship at members houses from time to

time

as in the whole idea that god is not a

place instead of body of people

fulangong is a buddhist

taoist mix that popped up in china

despite being a very peaceful religion

of meditation

and independence as well as examining

the inner self

the chinese government did not take

kindly to a fast-growing religion that

they did not have control of

so therefore in 1999 they locked down

the religion and made it illegal with no

exaggeration

china literally killed thousands of

fulangong members

in jail with rumors even persisting that

their bodies were used for the

underground chinese organ trade it's an

example of extreme religious prejudice

within a country's government hoodoo is

the root of the very popular or at least

famous
voodoo the roots of hudu are very

interesting as they came from african

countries into the american south

and mixed with the indigenous culture at

the time and created this sort of blend

between

two different kinds of native beliefs

even some of the beliefs

in gods and spirits can be seen as a

sort of combination between african

islam

and american christianity while there is

a core belief

system what hudu is most known for is

its practicality and magic

and how performances of rituals and

spells can lead to physically

obtainable things in the real world

messianic jews

are essentially jewish traditions that

believe in the messiah or jesus

or in other words it is the religion of

judaism

but they also incorporate the new

testament it's an interesting example

of sort of a middle ground that's met

between two

supposedly entirely different religions

is khan stands for the international

society of krishna consciousness

iskan holds several traditional indian

beliefs such as

vishnu and krishna however they are much

more physical with their interpretation

of it partaking of their worship

primarily through versions of singing

and dance

because of this festivals are a very

important part of the iskcon tradition

however despite this they're very

reserved in other ideas such as they do

not partake of any premarital

kiffing gambling or intoxicants also in

the disturbing movie iceberg everyone

was

confused by kiss for some reason it's

the word kiss

pronounced like mike tyson so kiss

and i use it to not get demonetized

whenever i'm talking

about naughty stuff and like it or not

if i'm doing this full time

i i want to be monetized you'll be

familiar with gnosticism if you watch

the conspiracy theory iceberg

however for those that don't gnosticism

is essentially christianity

with a polytheistic idea of lesser gods

what that means is yes christ and the

godhead exist

however there are the smaller gods that

are in charge of doing certain things on

earth

and the reason that bad things happen on

earth is because earth was made by an

evil god

besides that a lot of it's sort of more

like magic

spiritual sense than standard

christianity like for example instead of

sin

and redemption they more so follow the

ideas of illusion and enlightenment

saying that things are not necessarily

wrong they're just not understood

opus dei from all of my research just

seems to be a sort of laid-back version

of catholicism

like for example they don't partake in

big church gatherings or mass

and while they believe in the teachings

of catholicism they more so believe that

every person themselves

is a layman or worker for god and the

organization itself is much smaller

with the entire thing having about 2 000

priests kabbalah

is often described as jewish mysticism

put shortly it's about understanding

the barrier between god and man in other

words there is this sort of fabric that

exists around us

that separates us from the higher realm

of being so a lot of this

ideology is a way of sort of meditating

or introspection

in order to rise to the next plane of

thought neo-shamanism is

a new iteration of native american

beliefs it's sort of an amalgamation of

several different native tribes

now in the modern sense through being

able to be connected

have sort of established an overall

pantheistic canon of their religion

in other words using the knowledge

gained by other tribes neo-shamans kind

of put together this

entire idea of how the world works how

the spirit works how healing works and

things like that sratu hinduism

is hinduism however there is a very

heavy reliance in rituals

over beliefs or basically doing specific

acts is more important

than simply believing or saying

something as you can imagine

rituals are a big deal within the

religion as well as oral traditions

which are passed down

instead of written or transcribed as a

standard with most religions

that is it with tier three we are now on

to tier four

starting with hardline the letter that

youtube won't let me say because it's

dumb for some reason

annan blank annan rose to popularity in

recent years after the american 2016

election the basic belief

is that all of the world's elites are

conspiring in a sort of secret society

in order to maintain control of the

world from behind the veil

this cabal of the elite is responsible

according to annan's theories of

everything from human abductions to

the results of world elections it's very

reliant on the ideas of secret societies

being proliferated across the world

five percent nation was started by a man

named clarence smith

who left the nation of islam clarence

smith felt very led

by malcolm x who was an at the time big

member in the nation

of islam to go and start his own group

which he called five percent nation

or nations of gods and earths five

percent nation was basically nation of

islam

only even more so clarence renamed

himself allah the father

and the word five percent nation comes

from the idea that 85

of the world is ignorant 10 of it is

evil and only 5 percent know the truth

and are good enough to change it

speaking of being nation of islam only

more so

rather than just thinking that white

people were created as an experiment

according to five percent nation white

people are literally demons that have

rosen up from hell

as a means of destroying god's people

and it's basically a fringe

offshoot of an already fringe offshoot

muslim brotherhood's on here

i know it originates in egypt however

i am not qualified to talk about this

nor was i able to find information that

made me feel like i was qualified to

talk about this

so rather than sounding dumb i'm just

gonna skip it sorry peyote religion is

the name often attributed to the native

american church what's interesting is

the native american church

kind of came as a result of christian

missionaries coming to the native tribes

so instead of believing in several

spirits they believe in the great spirit

which according to members is synonymous

with jesus christ the reason they're

called the peyote religion

is because they believe that peyote can

be used as a gateway to

speak to the great spirit or to at least

escape this realm of existence for a

limited time because of this in the

majority of their practices and worship

services

peyote is used cargo cults was really

interesting

and i'd never heard of before

researching this post world war ii there

were specific groups of people

specifically in melanesia

who were gifted gifts by more

technologically advanced societies such

as the united states and great britain

upon coming back to deliver these people

more gifts it was found that they were

imitating the acts of the soldiers that

were there whenever they were brought

the first round of goods

so in other words whenever the ships

would show back up they would be holding

sticks like rifles and walking around in

troop formation

thinking that by mimicking the people

that brought them gifts they could bring

them back

it's a very interesting sort of like

glass bubble of how a society would

react if not given any information

about how things like that carry out or

how

technology advances it's a really cool

rabbit hole to go down if you're

interested

church of subgenius kind of exists as a

parody of religion

their prophet j.r bob dobbs was a

door-to-door salesman

get it goes religion he's a salesman and

according to them

all other religions of the world are a

part of a greater conspiracy

in order to keep smart thinking people

down but at the same time they believe

in a lot of popular gods

their main god is known as jehovah one

but they also believe in like

odin and other

deities i guess what's interesting is

while this kind of feels like a church

of the flying spaghetti monster thing

it seems as if some people actually

believe in the religion nowadays

that or i just took the bait either way

good on you chaos magic

is a modern name given to result based

magic or in other words

rather than getting sort of ideas or

self enlightenment or something like

that out of magic you get a very

physical

obtainable goal this is what a lot of

people think in their head whenever they

think of magic

itself while there are beliefs they're

kind of secondary to the point

and chaos magic users will actually

manipulate their belief system

in order to get whatever result they

want society for ethical culture

is the godless religion they believe

that morality exists apart from faith

and therefore people do not need to be

faithful or believe in a god in order to

be

good people they have churches and

services but rather than talking about a

specific god or
worship they instead talk about how to

better yourself and how to be a better

person they're big on concepts such as

motivation and philanthropy

and believe that the individual should

always strive to be the best they can

regardless of whatever higher order

tells them to or not

mandatism is hard to put a pin on but

the chief idea is that sort of like a

gnostic

abrahamic faith sort of in the quran it

mentions people way way back

who could have been a sort of mandais

although it's not confirmed and their

main distinction from

abrahamic ideas such as christianity and

islam is that they are very spiritual

with their ideas

such as they believe that after death

you go to the worlds of light

which is what we see whenever we look at

stars as well as believing in energy

of areas such as old world which is

where they make the majority of their

stay

however it's hard to kind of figure out

a ton about them

as they're very secretive and there's

not a lot of members so

make of that what you will remova can

best be described as

lithuanians before christianity or in

other words it was lithuanians

with a much more polytheist sort of

pagan idea of what god

is a lot of their beliefs come from

baltic folklore and there is a big

emphasis on nature and ancestry so

rather than so much worshiping a one god

deity

it is more so ideas of worshipping what

is around you

and the people who came before you

chinese underground church is

essentially western christianity

in communist china see religions that do

not directly answer to the chinese

government are illegal and while they

may allow it to exist to some capacity

if a church gets to any degree to

actually call itself a church

they'll immediately shut it down because

of this underground churches or house

churches as they're called meet in the

houses

of certain members this is as a way to

avoid persecution

and as far as french religions go they

have to be

if they want to stay operating we are

now on to tier 5 which is getting into a

bit more of the

sort of out there ideas you'll see what

i mean the first of tier five the igbo

jews

which is essentially judaism

incorporated into the igbo people of

nigeria

follow to every degree traditional

judaism however the difference is

they believe that they themselves are

the chosen people of god

or in other words they think themselves

to be the true israelites said the

people of israel which is the reason

they practice judaism

so intently and then on the other side

of the spectrum we have christian

identity

which is the idea that only whites such

as anglo-saxons and germanics

are the descendants of abraham and

therefore god's chosen people

however this isn't really a religion as

much as it is an idea that exists

in some religious groups and some of the

other ideas they get into are also weird

like

serpent seed doctrine which i talked

about that in the iceberg you can look

that one up for yourself

and as with most of the things on here

it is generally shunned by the majority

of people who practice their religion as

well

raelism is the idea that humans are not

existent as the product of some deity

but were instead invented by an alien

known as elohim because of that oddly

enough it's an atheistic religion

believing that there is no god and we

are simply the results of a sort of

science experiment according to them

elohim sent down 40 prophets in order to

foretell whenever he would come back to

take his experiments with him

and among these 40 prophets were buddha

and jesus

general consensus is that they are

strong proponents of science and also

believe in the ancient aliens theory

or the idea that aliens came down and

started humanity as we know it

and they hoped to find immortality

through the use of cloning

so that's cool wahhabism is

from all the information i combined

conservative islam however much like the

brotherhood one i mentioned earlier

there was not enough information for me

to find anything substantial to say

about it

and rather than looking like an idiot

i'm just going to move on aum shinrico

also known as aleph is a controversial

group to say the least

they incorporate elements from shiva to

general christianity

to yoga and even nostradamus with one of

their main proponents being that of a

doomsday prophecy

or more specifically that the us is the

beast mentioned in the book of

revelations

that will bring it into the known world

because of this certain extremists of

the group were responsible for the tokyo

sarin attacks of 1995 that killed

several innocent people

however even though that happened and

we're going to see examples later on in

the list of groups that it can't really

be argued that the whole group wasn't

in agreeance of the bad thing that

happened i will say for this one that it

seems the majority of people of the

group disagreed with the attacks

and i don't want to condemn an entire

ideology off of the actions of a few

so just making that clear santa muerta

is

pretty much a female personification of

death quite literally a skeleton that is

dressed up in females clothes and

believed to be a sort of harbinger of

death

that is to be worshiped it's another

example of mexican and spanish culture

having a very rooted belief in ideas of

death all the way from the day of the

dead celebrations

to things that the spanish inquisition

saw whenever they first came over

it's a modern concept of worshiping

death

in a very upbeat and charismatic mood as

what one might expect

lighter rain is a movement that has

happened in some pentecostal churches

after world war ii it essentially

reincorporated the idea

that in the modern sense the spirit can

interact directly with humanity

as a means of performing physical

actions or in other words one can become

holy spirit filled

and do things such as healing or speak

in tongues it was a response to the

evangelical revival which had just

occurred and was one of the first parts

of something known as the charismatic

movement

or as historians call it the age

in which religion became popular with

the idea

of words and catches in order to get new

converts in

shugendo is an interesting combination

of folk religion and buddhism

a lot of their belief resides in the

supernatural and even the idea that if

one

gets close enough to ideas of buddhism

that they can obtain these sort of

supernatural powers

what's really cool about the religion is

they exist in the majority at least

in mountain ranges across japan so their

temples are hidden

in the backs of these giant mountain

ranges so you can just be going over a

completely green area

and then there's a giant temple in front

of you it's a pretty neat idea dalit

buddhism
is an indian reinterpretation of

buddhism it goes directly against the

idea of the indian caste system

and promotes the ideas of equality

amongst people it also exists as more of

a physical religion than most

or in other words ideas aren't so much

about spiritualism and praying

as much as actions and action in public

said a vacant tivos probably how you

pronounce it is an offshoot of

catholicism

who believes that the holy seed position

or in other words the pope

has been left empty for several years

different groups have different ideas of

how long it's been gone some dating back

to the 20s others recently as the 80s

but the general consensus

is that the catholic church as it is now

is not saying what the catholic church

should

and therefore the leader is a sort of

false prophet

and they don't believe in the pope we'll

see more specific examples of this

later on in the list new avianism was

started by dwight york in 1991 and exist

as a kind of ufo religion dwight york

managed to grow the religion to such a

degree that in putnam county georgia

he built a complex known as tamare which

was inspired off the egyptian pyramids

most of their ideas revolved around the

idea that aliens have been interacting

with human society for a long time

and that we need to prepare for their

return however we'll never know how that

went

because the group was disbanded in 2004

when ever dwight was sentenced to 135

years in kisen

for finance fraud and touching

kids so yeah the cult of angels or

yazdanism as it's called

is essentially a form of pre-islamic

kurds

or in other words how the kurdish people

existed before islam

came into the region they believe in

zoroastrianism and the annunaki which

are a specific version of the ancient

aliens concept and their belief system

is interesting

as they have a sort of pantheon in which

they

accept several different ideas of the

abrahamic faith and in practice they

incorporate both the bible and the quran

we are now on to tier vi and here we go

the moore's science temple is an

offshoot of islam

that believes that african americans are

the direct descendants of the moabites

yep the organization was started by

noble ali who said he met with an

egyptian priest who said that he was

blessed and an incarnation of a prophet

that was made in order to lead his

people the group itself is very mystic

with

ali himself saying that he has found

a version of the koran that has been

lost to everyone else and they won't

really let anyone else read it and it's

the book for their religion so

yeah was interested in researching this

there was one article i was reading i

forget from where

where it was talking about this group

and it's like

noble ali made this in order to give the

african-americans of the community

something to do

i'm like are you sure about that

i don't think so i think he wanted to be

gone

fundal enemies pull it fundamentalist

polygamous desert
fundamentalist polygamous desert

compound mormons

are the extreme conservative branch of

mormonism that is shunned by the

entirety of mormonism mormonism itself

was founded by joseph smith

however from the original teachings the

religion has come a long way

that is not however the case with the

specific group of mormons that we're

talking about

these specific very conservative groups

of mormons believe in things such as

polygamy

continuous revelations or in other words

at any point someone can have a word

from god and therefore add on to the

canon of scripture

and united order commune which is just a

way of saying people

should exist within a commune there are

very few of these no more than a total

of 10 000

and all of these people have been

excommunicated from the actual church of

latter-day saints

for the practice of polygamy so yeah

ringing cedars anastasianism

was started in russia in 1997. it comes

from a book called the ringing cedars of

russia

in which the author said he met a person

in the woods known as anastasia

who was a deity who then told him how

the world truly operates the religion

itself believes in a very holistic

belief in what god in the world is

and that they all exist as sort of an

intertwined being

and the actual word itself ringing

cedars comes from the idea that there

are

subtle vibrations that exist everywhere

and that is the interconnected layer

that holds all of the world together

also this religion normally lives

together in the sort of commune

settlements

primarily around the taiga area of the

siberian wilderness

appalachian snake churches came off the

holiness movement

at the turn of the century the majority

of practitioners come from the pentecost

faith

and the whole thing exists itself as

another part of the charismatic movement

i talked about earlier

the guy who started it george hensley

drove from place to place encouraging

more and more people to do

snake handling the core belief of it

comes from the disciples in the new

testament

whenever jesus tells them that they

don't have to fear snakes they can pick

them up and they won't be hurt

and the story of whenever several people

are bit by dangerous snakes on the

island of i believe

malta with paul and paul says that

they'll all be healed so george took

that idea

and applied it to the modern day and he

doubled down and said that if anyone is

bitten and killed by a venomous snake

then they just weren't faithful enough

to which in 1955 george was bitten and

killed by a venomous snake snake

handling is very dangerous

a lot of people die doing it so much so

to the point there's been legislation in

many states and in kentucky where they

specifically said

snakes cannot be used for religious

purposes mooney's also known as the

unification movement

comes from its founder sun moon they're

most known as being the group of people

that has

the mass weddings but they also have

some other interesting traditions

such as they're one of the only new

religions to have a completely original

text

as well as specific flag that is draped

over members of the church's casket

at funerals according to their core

belief jesus could not complete his

mission on earth because he was killed

before he could have children

because of this sun moon the religion's

founder is the reincarnation of jesus

and the new messiah and they basically

just operate as a normal religion

outside of that with just the belief

that they have a current living messiah

ravita's path also known as

vedesia is a sort of

spiritualistic belief that originated in

india they hold a lot of respect for the

religious gurus

and hold a belief that the human soul is

a part of god itself the religion was

closely identified with sikhism

until in 2009 a group of six killed a

guru of ravi diaz

ravi ready i can't pronounce it and now

they're not so closely related with six

anymore

as you could imagine michael teachings

is a sort of belief system that

originated

from a ouija board game played in the

1970s in san francisco a group of

friends were playing with the ouija

board

in which someone who identified

themselves as michael began talking to

them on subsequent sessions

michael continued to talk to them to

which they began to write down his

teachings

and then published all of them into a

book that started its own belief system

and if you're curious what the teachings

are basically

uh be agape love everybody and

psychology is important

and that's what i got out of it

anti-israel zionist

i'll be honest i didn't understand i

thought that it was saying that

zion as in the land of israel is

important and the people that

are living there aren't but then i saw

something else that said it wasn't

important

and to be honest again i'm just not sure

about this one

so i will leave this to you all right

here we are tier 7 and we are getting

into the good stuff

greek orthodox old calendar is one of

the pettiest departures i've ever seen

and i normally wouldn't say that about

an entire religion

but from everything i've read like come

on guys so from everything i read

greek orthodox old calendar is the exact

same as greek orchestra

dogs only they disagree on the calendar

so you could be asking yourself how much

does that old calendar matter

they did not in the 1500s want to make

the transition

from the julian calendar to the revised

julian

calendar what's the difference well

according to the revised julian calendar

if a year is divisible by 100 it is not

a leap year

unless of course when divided by 900

it comes out to two or six hundred what

difference does that make

well from now until the year 2800

it will be one day the reason the

calendar was revised like that was

because

it would basically line people up with

the gregorian calendar

however greek orthodox calendar said no

and they kept their old calendar

and it is an entirely separate religion

to this day because

they didn't want to change the leap

years

cool the ghost dance is a concept that

was incorporated into several western

native american traditions

ghost dance is believed to sort of been

an offshoot of round dancing

only done in a more sacred spiritual

manner as a way of contacting either the

dead or the spirits

this would be done by the native

americans to receive everything from

guidance

to battle preparedness to even the halt

of westward expansion

this was started by a native named jack

wilson who

worked as a sort of prophet going from

tribe to tribe teaching people the ghost

dance the ghost dance itself was very

malleable
with some groups taking certain parts of

it and adapting it to their culture

and others taking just the ideas and it

kind of worked its way

to be a part of several different

cultures that was until it made its way

to the lakota tribe

see jack taught the lakota tribe shortly

before the battle of wounded knee

in which the natives were massacred by

the white settlers

because of this several tribes that jack

traveled to afterwards did not want to

incorporate it thinking that it may be

some sort of bad omen

for example the navajo never took part

in it and because of this the dance just

kind of faded out and it's not really

practiced to any real regards now

however the traces of it can be taken

back

to the roots of several different native

ideologies branch davidians were began

by a man named david koresh in waco

texas

david koresh believed himself to be the

forerunner of christ

and that he was set up as a way to

foretell of the coming doomsday

in order to be ready for it david koresh

assembled his people into one commune

that existed in waco texas

with the basic idea of giving up worldly

pleasures and

hope for spiritual enlightenment of

course that didn't stop him from playing

music

and drinking and being the only one in

the commune who was allowed to have

children but again that's neither here

nor there

to those around the commune they said

that koresh and the branch davidians

were very

american and just seemed like your

average old group of people

however the people were propelled to a

state of infamy

when in 1993 the atf attempted to raid

the compound

in hope of finding illegal weapons

however during the raid

the atf killed 76 people the majority of

them being women and children

and needless to say that was the end of

the branch davidians

because remember kids there's no law so

trivial that the government won't kill

you for it
the problem that happens with the branch

davidians is a lot of people

sort of justified because don't get me

wrong david koresh was a horrible person

it is a known fact that he was abusing

at least two children within the

compound

however if you're trying to keep

children from being abused

maybe the solution isn't to kill all of

them

just a thought moving on mhfm stands for

the most holy family monastery

this is an example of the set of vacant

fake and tests the things that don't

believe in the pope

that i mentioned earlier in fillmore new

york what's interesting is the ways they

sort of circumnavigate the catholic

church

like for example all of their communion

and their priests

has to be brought down from the catholic

church in order to officially be

catholic

but since they don't believe in the pope

they don't want to do it through the

vatican

so they get a sort of byzantine

moderator to technically
like sanctify it and in 2020 they got so

fed up with the catholic church

that they said it is heresy to attend a

pope ordained catholic service

also in research for some reason i kept

finding information that they denied the

holocaust

so okay go off i guess

one law hebrew roots is essentially

evangelical christianity

with the torah from judaism what that

means is they really push home a lot of

the old testament ideas that were

prevalent in judaism

such as the sabbath and the ten

commandments and they even believe off

of the ideas before that this is the

natural conclusion before the return of

christ

they believe that the first step of the

modern western american church

was that of holiness and then faith

healing

and then charismaticness and now judaism

meaning that if they continue to act

this way

it will speed up the return of christ

independent scientology also known as

the free zone

has all of the beliefs of scientology

with none of the organizational part

they go off of the saying the work was

free keep it so

implying that the church of scientology

is so caught up with money and politics

that's not existing as a religion

anymore so this is a group of people

that kind of do away with the concept

that the entire idea of scientology was

made up just to be made up

because they don't want anything to do

with the organization they just believe

in the ideas

of xenu and the space opera

in research for this uh the church of

scientology called them squirrels

to their face which is so wild and funny

like it was an interview asking them

about what they think

of like the free zone scientologist and

the church leaders like oh

you mean the squirrels raj nish

also known as osho began a new religion

commune

in oregon the core beliefs of the

religion were kind of

weird like it's sort of the idea that

everyone can get there in their own kind

of way
and some ideas of christianity some of

islam yadda yadda

however it seemed to me like the core

reason of this religion existing

was so that rajonesh could have power

and this is kind of supported by the

salmonella attacks that occurred in the

nearby town of antelope oregon

in which rajonesh's followers poisoned

hundreds of people with salmonella

as a means of somehow winning the

election

in rajneesh's favor which didn't work

and rajneesh got deported and a bunch of

people got arrested other core ideas of

the religion were

like families bad because the idea is

that you

focus on your spiritual self rather than

children so parents who

join this religion would leave their

kids behind in order to follow rajonesh

around

and also free love and stuff like that

was encouraged just don't get married

the freedomites are essentially a group

of true communal anarchists

existing in saskatchewan canada they're

against everything from land ownership

to public schools and using animals for

work and are most famously known for

protesting nude

in the belief that the human body is a

perfect creation and clothes are

imperfect so therefore

being naked is the perfect existence and

other than that they just exist on

communes and try their best to live

autonomously

the source family started by father yad

is often equated as being one of the

first examples of the organic hippie

idea

the family as it's called were very into

an idea known as the age of aquarius

which is basically this overarching idea

in astrology

what's way more interesting than that is

the weird ideas that father god came up

with

for example the band he started yahuwah

13

was recorded and played in a restaurant

he owned

and was used as a means of spreading his

message he started this organization

that eventually grew to 150 members out

of a

three-bedroom house in l.a also more

weird details about him

uh he possibly murdered jean ingram's

husband so that he could sleep with her

and speaking of sleeping with or should

i say kissing with

he had 14 wives to which he had children

by nearly all of them

and he died in a hang gliding accident

because

having never hang glided before he

assumed he could do it

in which he could not he may have been

like a really bad dude in real life i

don't know

these stories were just too funny to not

laugh at reactive satanism is

probably what you think of whenever you

think of the word satanism also

referred to as adolescent satanism it is

the idea of taking

true accounts of the satanism from

christianity and simply inverting the

values for example believing that satan

is lucifer the king of evil and the

prince of darkness

and that he should be praised for it the

core beliefs of the people is that evil

is good and we should perpetuate as much

horribleness in the world as we can

as a means of circumventing the sort of

status quo while a lot of this can be

seen as sort of edgy behavior

it doesn't change the fact that they are

perpetuating bad things to happen to

people or at the very least bad advice

and is the definitive and literal saint

worship we are now on to tier viii and

we are officially at the point that i do

not feel bad calling these people out

anymore

starting with the burgholes barbers this

is in reference to a specific sect of

the amish tradition

that was started by sam mullet in

burkholtz ohio

if you thought old order amish were

strict sam mullet started a new society

because he did not think they were

strict enough

while i couldn't find specific details

on actions or

practices that he did throughout his

teachings it was to the point that

whenever he set himself up as the chief

bishop of a new commune

only one would show up when you're

supposed to have three in traditional

amish belief

which led future bishops to think that

maybe he's not actually

supposed to be a bishop whatever the

case mullen excommunicated a deacon

to which nine members of the commune

then decided to leave

to which he then excommuted each one of

them keep in mind a couple things for

one there was only like 40 people in the

entire commune at the time

and excommunication is a big deal

because in the amish belief

if you're excommunicated by one group

you cannot rejoin to any group

so that wasn't just mullet saying you

can't come back here

that's him saying you can't be amish

anywhere which

is a big deal this was such a point of

contention that after several failed

investigations

eventually 300 bishops from different

amish communities came together

and made the ruling that the mullet

excommunications were nolan void because

he was

too hard on them for the excommunication

mullet did not like this one bit and

shortly after the beard attacks began

as mentioned earlier beards are a big

deal in the amish tradition

so people from mullet's group ran around

breaking into people's houses and

violently cutting their beards off which

is how they got the name

of the burkholz barbers eventually they

were arrested along with malt himself

and charged with hate crimes and each

served jail sentences

some of the traditions were weird too

like it was

very apparent that they did not identify

as christian

even though they supposedly held the

christian beliefs of jesus and what not

they made sure sunday was not a big deal

there was no sabbath

for some reason they stuck to the old

testament which again makes the sabbath

thing more confusing

and then oddly enough kissing

was totally fine not totally fine it's

not like it was encouraged

but whereas in other groups it was a

shameful thing they just didn't care

which why be so strict about the other

stuff but

whatever children of god which is now

rebranded as the family international

was a sort of apocalyptic cult they had

ideas of salvation through self

and through each other with an

overarching idea that the world around

them or the system was always coming to

get them

children of god is rather well known for

the controversies they ran into

and rightfully so as one of the group's

main ideologies was that

of yeah like

free love at all times with whoever you

want

at any point feel free there's a

documentary of them on netflix in which

in the documentary you can see

at random times all over the place

this didn't just extend to people within

the community this extended to their

idea of god

so much so that one of their tree

strategies in order to get new converts

was something called flirty fishing in

which the women were

encouraged to go out and be street

hookers

and then after doing the stuff use the

opportunity to tell them about god

i hate it here to give you an idea of

how awful they were their bible tracks

that they would hand out

would get held up as custom agencies

because it was pornography

the group was eventually shut down and

several arrested

or at least the original group was over

pedophilia charges

as this whole idea of free love didn't

exactly care about age of consent laws

and the founder david berg eventually

died although the now rebranded family

international

is in this weird hypocritical stage

where they both support his teachings

and then deny he did anything wrong

while also

accepting that pedophilia is wrong and

then denying that he did it which he did

and it's it's so dumb it's weird

a lot of the stuff that i'm not

mentioning here is really gross as i

mentioned earlier there's a documentary

on netflix which if you're interested is

worth your time

called the children of god but uh yeah

really gross people moving on the

people's temple also known as the

people's temple of the disciples of

christ

is the infamous jim jones cult the core

beliefs of the idea was this combination

of christianity and communism

however that really didn't matter

because the real core belief was

whatever jim jones said

jim jones was charismatic and he sort of

had this real end tactic in which he

would get people interested

in his society and then eventually

entrap them there while the group was

located in san francisco they had

several instances of people trying to

get away by whatever means

or else knowing they would be hunted

down by members of the society

eventually facing public scrutiny jim

jones along with several of his

followers moved

to guana in south america and started

their hometown which was named very

humbly

jonestown by 1978 there were over 900

people

in the commune that was until

representative leo ryan

investigated with a journalist team on

accounts of child abuse occurring there

while investigating a few members of the

commune came
up to the representative and said they

wanted to leave with him to which the

representative allowed them

while trying to leave from a nearby

airstrip members of jonestown came over

with guns and killed the representative

three journalists and one of the

jonestown members later that evening

realizing that he wasn't going to get to

play god anymore except for this one

last time

he had the entire commune drink cyanide

lace

kool-aid killing a total of 918 people

jim jones himself being one of them it's

a very frustrating case because

it's always just felt to me like because

he realized he lost he wanted everyone

else to lose too

and it's also an example of what one

person with the right words and enough

manipulation can get away with

nike and heresies was kind of hard to

find something on

i believe this is in reference to the

nicean creed it's basically an idea that

comes from the roots of orthodox

christianity and puts away ideas such as

aryanism which

is the idea that christ exists in

between that of being a god and man

a pulanarianism which is the idea that

christ had no soul

neostarianism which is the idea that

christ had two souls one from human and

one from god

and euthanism which is the idea that

christ

was god and therefore couldn't be a

sacrifice for man and it's basically

just

four rules saying that we do not believe

these things

therefore christ can be what it says he

is in the bible so

i'm guessing that this would be

believing in those four things or one of

those four things which would

essentially be

with like christianity without christ

i don't know make your own inference

siberian old believers are eastern

orthodox christians maintaining the

beliefs of the russian church

or in other words they still hold fast

to the ideas of

ancient greek translations and old world

customs rather than new ideas

of what christianity's supposed to be

also

every example i could find of them

exists in the middle of nowhere

like traveling hundreds of miles through

the siberian wilderness you would find a

small church

and you could probably bet yourself that

it's a siberian old believer

which is why they have the name siberian

old believers nix vm was a company that

was used as a front for a

kif cult on the surface it was a

multi-level marketing scheme

however beneath the service there's a

group known as the dominus

obsequious sororium

i'm not pronouncing that it went by dos

dos essentially the leader of the

company had been taking in women

and keeping them as slaves all the way

to the point of branding his name on

them

in which other higher up levels of the

company also had slaves

and yeah gross this entire thing was

outed in 2018 and was one of the first

mainstream

examples of trafficking existing

in higher level elitist circles the

soldiers of heaven are as an islamic

doomsday cult

existing in iran they hold the belief

that their god will return

if enough damage is caused on earth

therefore they want to cause a lot of

damage on earth there are very very few

of them less than 1 000

and the majority of them exist as

farmers without really the means to do

so

however it's a belief of several iranian

officials that this group or ideology

could be dangerous if given the means to

carry out their ideas

lucian pulver marker was one of those

set of ventius

the the the ones who don't like the pope

who in 1998 was declared by other

set of vacants to be

pope pius viii essentially they all

agreed

that this guy knows what he's talking

about and they don't like the real pope

so this guy's pope now

when she then made all them bishops and

then they made each other bishops

and it's the equivalent of a bunch of

bros like all shaking hands

and giving high fives to each other and

i really like it especially all these

pictures of him just like standing in

his backyard

as the pope i love it it's cute easter

lightning is an eastern asian belief

that is pretty much the same as

christianity except they believe that

jesus

currently exists on earth in the form of

a chinese woman

this comes from in the book of

revelations when it says as lightning

goes across the eastern sky

so will the return of our lord which is

why the group is called eastern

lightning

it began in 1995 when a woman who has

never been officially identified

but it is pretty well understood goes by

the name of

yang zee bing i'm i'm sorry i'm

butchering these who said that she

experienced voices from god telling her

she was meant from great things

when a year later a man who was an at

the time leader of the church

named zhao waishan said that she was not

only receiving messages

from jesus but that she was jesus and

they just kind of

operate besides that with knowing jesus

is the woman in the congregation the

group has got a lot of bad publicity

and i can't really verify if it's the

group intentions

to do these things or if it's just

radicals for example in 2002 there were

kidnappings

of people of other nearby religions that

supposedly members of eastern lightning

did

furthermore before the 2012 december

21st end of the world event

there were several riots that started up

in china that was once again blamed on

the church

and in 2014 a man walked into a cafe and

after people didn't want to hear his

gospel message he killed a woman behind

the counter

and he later identified as a member of

eastern lightning

so are these a bunch of zealots who feel

extra pumped to do crazy things because

they think they're god's on earth with

them

or is it just a bad rap i don't know but

i know that

uh western christians in the area or

more specifically underground church

members

say that the what eastern lightning is a

terrorist organization

so make of that what you will we are now

on to tier 9 the final tier

which is very specific instances of

crazy cult activities oh

boy the first of which being zhu haman

al atayabi i promise i'm trying with

these who in 1979

sees the grand mosque in saudi arabia

see he believed

that the saudi government was weak his

father and grandfather fought in wars

for them

and he didn't like the idea that saudi

was now making deals with western

society

so him and 500 of his followers stormed

the mosque and for two weeks held off

any entry into it the standoff was

eventually ended

after french gigan commandos came in in

order to direct the saudis of how to

attack

to which atiabi and several of his men

were captured and then beheaded for

their crimes

but it's still a pretty big deal

historically because he got enough

people together in order to take the

grand mosque

things i can't talk about like why was

there a temple why

why was there a pyramid why did he drive

to this person's

island right before why

all right so i'm going to get like

odyssey it's this

off but i'll talk about whenever i do it

but i'm going to make videos on there

that i can't talk about on youtube

because i really want to talk about this

but this gets a video zapped immediately

i've seen it happen

and we'll get there the manson family is

a reference to the cult that was started

by charles manson

the group was on the surface your

standard hippie level stuff they like

taking parts in drugs and living on

communes

however it's whenever you got into the

beliefs of the cult that you started to

see the cracks

for example members of the commune

thought that the leader charles manson

was a reincarnation of jesus himself

manson himself preached on a coming

apocalyptic race war that was going to

begin

and how they needed to begin a race war

in order to confirm that they'll be safe

this was an event

that manson referred to as helter

skelter in reference to the beatles song

this led to in 1969 the sharon tate

murders as they're called

in which he had several of his followers

go out

and kill nine people over the course of

several weeks the most famous

of which being whenever they broke into

sharon tate's house killed her

along with three friends and staged it

in order to

look like african americans did it in

such a way to start a race war

to which they said that they would

eventually win and come out on top

and all the research i've done about

manson over the years

it seems to me that he's a jim jones

type he was a type of person who liked

to be in control he liked to have others

do his bidding

and he wasn't afraid to hurt other

people to get it done the lebaron family

probably exist

on the farthest possible extreme of

mormonism that you could reach

for one they were kicked out of the

church for polygamy but the son of the

leader alma lebaron

said that he had dreams where he talked

to the prophets and that he himself

was meant to be the replacement for

joseph smith

eventually they started a compound of a

few hundred members in chihuahua mexico

they have had several odd altercations

with the locals such as one in which one

of the sons was kidnapped and held for

ransom

the family didn't pay ransom in order to

not encourage ransoming kidnappings

so they let the sun go the sun then went

on this whole political thing

as to say that ransoming is bad to which

the cartel

then got two more members of the commune

and then killed them because the sun was

talking about about kidnappings

there was also an odd altercation that

took place regarding a well on their

property in which they apparently shot

at the neighbors for

getting too close to their well and then

on the sonora highway

which you may remember from a couple

years ago in 2019

three women and six children from the

compound were killed by the cartel

although it is believed in that case

that the cartel mistake them

for a rival gang all right so this one's

weird remember nation of islam that i

talked about at the beginning

and how essentially like white people

bad

and then the church of scientology which

even though they don't have any race

rules are primarily white

well apparently there is an ally between

the nation of islam and the church of

scientology according to the nation of

islam

because they've been asked i thought

white people were awful why go with the

primarily white religion

they have said it's because they have

recognized the greater world around us

in other words the

idea of space and the space opera and

the aliens that created us and whatever

and they have gone so much so with this

that 700 members of the nation of islam

have been inducted as part of the church

of scientology

this is all to return them to a mother

wheel which is essentially a giant ufo

which will come down and take them away

whenever

it decides to come take them away also

the belief of the nation of islam has

always been why people will be left

behind whenever that happens

although in recent years they've changed

their tune after citing

or at least sort of siding with the

church of scientology and said

maybe a few left to is a very

niche group of judaism that only has

about 200 members

most of their beliefs are very

conservative compared to normal judaism

such as

very long prayers arranged marriages

at teenage years and the females are to

be covered from head to tone from the

ages of three on

they're also anti-zionist which means

they don't really believe in the

sanctity of israel itself and exists

sort of nomadically such as their

compound beginned in canada and exists

currently in mexico

in canada however they were ran out of

the country after several investigations

of child abuse

because that whole teenage marriage

thing is an always teenager teenager

sometimes teenager to not teenager as

well as kidnapping children

which maybe i know they then moved the

compound to mexico in which the leader

of the church

shalomo hell bronze drowned while

conducting one of his

rituals that he was under water for i

don't know it was weird

and the religion's pretty much broken up

now as they've all been arrested by the

combined might of the fbi and interpol

so

yeah that's that workers institute of

marxism leninism mao zedong

thought is basically just a communist

thing i don't know what else to call it

it had eight members including the

leader

the leader was a guy named eravidian

balakrishnan

who was kicked out of the lininess

marxist group

in london and after his group which had

14 people in it at the time

was searched for trafficking drugs he

decided to move the group

underground with seven people that were

still in it those seven people

being all women who he took as his wives

and then made do chores and essentially

treated them

like slaves so i guess real convenient

for him oh look i'm the only guy in a

commune of eight and i need

uh seven kids he eventually got arrested

for abuse and trafficking and

other things so it's just really lame to

think about

just one guy he's like

he has a cult and there's seven people

in it

like imagine you imagine you start a

religion

and you can't even make a football team

out of it

so and hill kids kind of got me down a

rabbit hole

reading it um and i've got to say from

all the research i've done

this has got to be one of the most

disturbing

cult reads i have ever gone on and there

is a ton of information and there's so

much to get into

that i just decided i'm going to do a

separate video on it

probably shortly after this one goes up

to not totally leave you hanging

on what it is essentially a man by the

name of rox herrault

started a commune in ontario canada in

which he slowly brought in people over

the years but he slowly became more and

more abusive

to the point by the end of it there was

murders there was

crazy goings-on with what he was doing

to some of the members

which eventually led to one of the

members escaping

telling the police to which he was in

arrested tried

put in jail for life and then his

cellmate killed him because of how bad

he was

so yeah i'm gonna do a whole video about

it because the specifics are really

gruesome

and there's too much to get into on a

video that's already too long

so stay tuned for that if you're

interested the reason i hesitate

to call him the most evil cult leader

i've ever heard of

is because of the next one on this list

marcus wesson

marcus wesson has got to be one of the

most frustratingly evil people i've ever

read about

i want to emphasize with this one this

one is probably the most graphic well

i'm not going to show any images

or say anything to overt uh it is a

rather intense theme so

again viewer discretion advice okay put

it bluntly after return from vietnam he

began living with a woman which he had

a son with however the woman had a

daughter by another man

to which whenever that daughter turned

eight he began

abusing the child and then he married

that child

who he then had ten children with and

then out of

all of the girl children he also began

abusing them when they turned

eight yeah no jokes this one's just

depressing he had all the girls

homeschooled and he was the only one

allowed to interact with the daughters

the mother was not allowed to have

contact with her own girls

and he read them a bible that he wrote

himself in which he said jesus was a

vampire and that he himself was god

he also told them about armageddon and

told

his daughters that they were meant to be

his future wives

the girls were also ordered that they

were not allowed to talk to their

brothers or their mother

as aforementioned the abuse kept up to a

point until which extended family

figured out what was going on and got

the local police involved the police

then showed up to marcus's house

in which his standoff began he walked

inside with his gun

the police did not hear gunshots however

after getting inside

marcus had killed all nine people that

were in the house

a few of the kids got away but marcus

managed to kill his wife

and all of the children that were in the

house at the time

if it makes you feel even a little bit

better he's currently awaiting the death

penalty
even though it's been 11 years and while

it's easy to look at these situations

and blame other people around i want to

emphasize that the mother at the time

who was also killed by marcus was 16

and considering the amount of abuse that

she went through i don't think it's

necessarily fair to say that

she was responsible or at least in any

magnitude that you could shame her over

i think predominantly and alone

marcus is one of the most evil people i

have ever read about and all the blame

squarely falls on him

what i mean by there's such a

frustratingly evilness to it is similar

to jim jones

it's like whenever they can't play god

anymore they just

ruin ever literally end everyone else's

lives around them

only with marcus it seems to be much

more malicious and just

depraved i'll try to perk everyone back

up at the end but that's enough of that

let's move on

heaven's gate refers to the cult that

was started in 1974

by the couple marshall applewhite and

bonnie nessel

the two believe themselves to be the

witnesses of revelation or in other

words in the book of revelations in the

christian bible

when it says there will be two witnesses

who foretell the coming of christ

they managed to catch a staggering

following with this ideology

and got to the point that they sort of

existed as vagabonds until they made

their way out to california

the entire time sort of living this

nomadic lifestyle as they went across

the country

that is until 1996. in 1996 whenever the

comet haley bop went by

the two believed that behind it was a

spaceship that was supposed to take them

into the afterlife and the only way to

catch it

was if they were dead they managed to

convince 38 other members of the heavens

gate cult to commit suicide with them

they did this by eating a concoction of

phenobarbidol and applesauce

to which they all went and laid on their

beds and waited for

the end this actually took place over

the course of three days

in which one group would do the deed to

which the next group would then clean up

make preparations for them to do it and

so on and so forth they all wore

matching track shoots

with matching nike shoes one of the

reasons for it being one of the group's

mottos was just stuart and the nike

logo you get it they also all wore

armbands that said heaven's gate away

team

and each had and 75 cents in their

pocket this is a reference to in the

book huckleberry finn whenever a

character says all it takes

is five bucks and three quarters to get

a ride to heaven on the nearest common

what's really weird is even after the

heavens gate cult several of the members

who were not a

part of it later committed suicide

themselves

some attribute this to a sense of

survivor's guilt while others

see it as a lack of purpose but it's

interesting the effect that this one

couple had on so many people in such a

personal way

unknown bunkers is in reference to the

fact that there are a ton

of unknown bunkers that exist across the

world especially the us

not only have random bunkers been found

in the bases of

abandoned buildings that have satanic or

latin tech scribbled on them

but also think about this way there's a

lot of companies that sell bunker

supplies

or entirely made bunkers for groups to

stay in

but how many bunkers do you actually

know about which means they've got to be

around here somewhere

and assuming all of them aren't just

going to doomsday preppers then what are

some of them for

which could possibly lead into the final

theory of the entire iceberg

actual illuminati so a lot of people

throw around the name illuminati a lot

as a joke right but what are they really

well it's believed the original

foundations of the illuminati come from

the original foundations of the

freemasons the freemasons trace their

origin

all the way back to the original temple

built in israel under king solomon with

the idea that they will always exist as

a sort of unseen hand behind the scenes

of world powers

well the illuminati was officially made

in 1776

however due to several sort of

traditional christian beliefs at the

time

they were made illegal almost everywhere

especially in france which is where they

originated

their belief was very anti-god with the

idea that we ourselves should be

the own deciders of our fate and

shouldn't look to a higher power

something we don't truly understand and

instead people need people to rule over

them

so even if they don't know we're doing

it we'll do that for them

the plan among members was that after

they were outlawed they would slip into

hiding in a sort of secret society

and simply continue to act from behind

the scenes with several believing that

they are directly responsible for the

french revolution

here's what's so interesting about them

we have no way of knowing the capacity

to which they exist

if it's true and they are interconnected

with the freemasons that means

everyone who's a high ranking freemason

could possibly be implicit with it

or if they died out and they didn't

successfully join together then there's

nothing to worry about

however the problem is if they don't

exist or they exist

at full capacity there's no way for any

of us to be able to tell the difference

the disappearance of them from the earth

could mean they're really really bad

or really really good at what they're

doing the real illuminati

and the reason that it's proliferated so

much in conspiracy theories

is because it's the very literal

equivalent of watching a shark fin

dive under the water did it go away or

is it still swimming where it's always

been

and that is it for the religion and cult

iceberg

i want to emphasize especially with some

of the bottom stuff and how

some of these were very kind of

anti-human

or anti-righteous in their presentation

this is a video to specifically discuss

the worst of the worst as it's publicly

known

if you want to see what humanity has

done with beliefs and ideas and

inspiration

just look around you there are an

infinite number

of positive outcomes that have come from

ideas

of love and charity and giving that

completely outweigh everything i just

talked about

it's exactly like i talked about in the

disturbing iceberg fig

yeah it's fun to look in the rabbit hole

and see how deep it goes

but you gotta remember to take your head

out because in the grand scheme of

things

the rabbit hole ain't that big and as

i've said before

yeah the world can be a pretty bad place

sometimes but it can be a pretty cool

place too

and part of that coolness is you all

sticking around and watching this video
