So we have had a number of cult tragedies, and they have happened over and over again, some of them worse than others. And I think that it, you know, of course, these are the most extreme groups where people die, But there are many groups where people's lives are horribly damaged, where they lose their job, they drop out of school, they become estranged and isolated from family and old friends.

They lose all their money because of some group. They're not dead, but they've been badly hurt. And so this is the reason that people pay attention to these groups, not because of their beliefs, but because of their behavior and how they negatively impact people's lives. Wow.

I wouldn't, you know, there's no religion that has not been used as a facade, a mask by cult leaders. There have been groups that have used Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam. In my opinion, ISIS and Al-Qaeda, both cults. One following al-Baghdadi as their savior, the other following, you know, Now I'm spacing out. Bin Laden. Bin Laden, excuse me. There have been cults using any religion.

Islam, you know, Osama bin Laden led Al-Qaeda and al-Baghdadi led ISIS. Both of them basically as saviors, as messiahs, leading their followers to death. So, Every religion has been used. Now, in the United States and in Europe, of course it's Christianity, because Christianity has currency. Christianity has credibility.

And so if you're a cult leader, you want to use something as a facade, as a mask, to invoke your authority, to invoke your power. So what you're saying to your followers is, I'm not telling you to give up your life for me, I'm telling you to give up your life for God. And you're going to do it because I'm calling upon your deeply held beliefs as a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu,

And because of that, you will see me as an authority representing that higher power. And you will then obey me. You will give me what I want. You will do what I say because you think that by following me, you're following that higher power. And so that's why they use that authority.

I am very concerned about Israelites United in Christ. That is an African American identity group, a hate group, that has a YouTube channel. I think YouTube should do something about that. I think that they're negligent by not looking at that closer. I hope they will. So I would encourage YouTube in particular to police YouTube more and look for these cult leaders that are on YouTube.
