One Man Lost

Another update about Keith Raniere and Nxivm. It has been a while since I have visited my buddy Keith. A lot has happened and a big has dropped last week! It's a short episode. Enjoy.

This is the conclusion to the fake Guru and cult leader Franklin Albert Jones. Part 2 I talk about more that happened during the sex parties, more name changes, more of Bubba and the cult's craziness, and what the heck happened with the lawsuit filed by Beverly O'Mahoney and Mark Miller. Also I share a bit of an update as to where I have been and what has been going on with me lately. Enjoy Michael

Franklin Albert Jones, or is it Bubba Free John? His cult, the Johannine Daist Communion, or is the Laghing Man Institue, whatever, they have many more names. The news about this cult rocked San Francisco in 1985. Little was known of their antics until a lawsuit came out. Sex, drugs, and alcohol were just a small part of this Eastern mixed Lutheran religious vegetarian cult. Yup, none of it makes sense. Enjoy Michael

Porn filmed in a Mormon Temple, it has never been done. Until news broke last week by adult film actress Christie Stevens that she, along with other porn stars and a film crew was being given exclusive access into a temple to film themselves having sex in a Mormon Temple. I spoke with the man who was able to get them inside to get his perspective. This episode, I talk about the possibility of the video being made, pornography addiction, Mormon influence on addiction, and Utah lawmakers trying to battle the health crisis that they cry out porn is to be. The claims of its supposed evil and the falsehoods. Enjoy Michael

This episode I talk about Black Paste, Black Salve, and Mohs Surgery. How they are connected and why black paste is important to medicine today. Also I give an update as to what has happened in my Lost world lately. Enjoy Michael

Christmas With Kaylin. I sit down with my 3 year old niece Princess Kaylin and we talk about Christmas, Santa, his first 6 elves, and we learn a little history about how he used to be viewed in the Americas. Also, Kaylin tells us about a surprise we all never knew about when baby Jesus was born. Enjoy Michael

Magnificat Meal Movement - Part 2. Concluding this series on Debra Berslum and MMM. No longer running around in blue habits and robes, sadly the cult continues to dwindle, the cathedral has yet to be built. News of more shocking scandals and lies are revealed, then Debra disappears. Is she running from the law, upset followers, or herself... who knows? Enjoy Michael

Cult of Politics. Can the BITE Model be applied to analyzing politics. Behavior control, Information control, Thought control, Emotional control. It is a stretch. I take a look at how people are so controlled by politics in their life and wonder if they might just be in a cult. The world is divided by negative emotions and the leaders of political parties are using that to control the people. Enjoy Michael

Magnificat Meal Movement - Part 1, started by Debra Berslum. An Australian cult that Debra would center around the Eucharist Adoration, visions of the Virgin Mary, and dreams of a wealthy empire built upon the backs of her followers and the Debra's twisted teachings of numerology, astrology, and snake oil. Enjoy Michael

Piecemakers - Part 2. Concluding this series on Marie Kolasinski, the cult leader known for her colorful quilting shop and her colorful language. This episode we get into the many legal battles the Piecemakers wind up in and the ambush of the country store by the health inspectors. It would wind up with several gentle, kind, humble Piecemakers; these servants of God being arrested. Enjoy Michael

Piecemakers - part 1. When the world of quilt making meets the world of cults. There can be but one grand leader, Marie Kolasinki. From her humble beginnings growing up on a farm, to starting a quilt supply store out of her garage. She would manage a quilting empire and a cult called the Body of Christ Fellowship. Marie kept rather quiet in public, until she would rage against the machine, threatening the government and the news outlets would come storming in to hear what this feisty grandma had to say! Enjoy Michael

Canoodling the Boston Harbor. It's a Friday Short for you! Canoes on the Boston Harbor, the youth are paddling, or is it petting, and getting into trouble. What could they be doing? Kissing? Hugging? Sex? How dare they! The fun police must go into action! A little history on canoes and the menace to society they once were. Enjoy Michael

173rd Airborne Brigade, part 3. Finishing up this series on the Sky Soldiers in honor of my Dad. This is the final years of the Brigades combat in Vietnam, Operation Washington-Green goes into effect. Also I talk about what is happening outside of the 173rd that is a black eye on the US Army. The Sky Soldiers would be inactive for a long time, until Operation Iraqi Freedom and they will be flying again!

The 173rd Airborne Brigade, part 2. Dedicated to my Dad and all those who served in the armed forces this Veterans Day. This episodes follows the Sky Soldiers as they move into the deep jungle of Vietnam and into the bloodiest battles they will fight. Their training will be put to the test as they encounter the North Vietnamese Army, tactics that they used against the Viet Cong will not be as effective against the PAVN. They will come to learn what the Hill Fights are all about and it will become very personal to all those in the Army that fought in the Hills of Vietnam. Enjoy Michael

The 173rd Airborne Brigade, part 1. This is a two part series dedicated to my Adopted Dad who recently passed away. He is one of these amazing Sky Soldiers. This is the beginning of their 100 year history in the United States Army. Starting off as Infantry in 1917, they would be recreated into one of the greatest forces of paratroopers in the world. I am honored to be to learn of their history and share it with you. Enjoy Michael

Nicole wrote the book The Leader's Daughter, she is here to talk about her life growing up int a very abusive cult, life within a polygamist society, the pressure placed on young women just hitting puberty to be married to men who have a goal of marrying wives so they can produced as many children as possible. The extreme sexual, physical, mental, and spiritual abuse she and many women and children suffer all in the name of God, well, so her father the cult leader claims is necessary to get into heaven. Enjoy Michael
