Suddenly he needed 7 virgins and a compound in the middle of nowhere New Mexico....

‘Eastern Lightning’ almost sounds to me like a 1980’s metal band…but that’s far from the reality of the organization also known as Church of the Almighty God (among numerous other alias’s). We’re not talking big hair, power ballads and heavy guitar rifts … we’re talking accusations of kidnappings; coercion; alleged assaults; murder; brainwashing and targeting women. All under the nose of China’s Communist Party begging the question as to whether the crazy allegations surrounding the organization are, in fact, true or whether they’re completely fabricated by the CCP.

The final episode on Dwight York, the maniac messiah, egotistical “Egyptian”, he’s not Egyptian at all I’m sure or he is and it shows up on a 23 & me test somewhere but he’s not in the way he says he is... 

Dwight York convinces everyone he is Egyptian royalty including a Sudanese family related to the 19th century Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmad and thousands of other New Yorkers in search of a savior.

He was the typical charismatic cult leader who brainwashed his loyal followers into not even questioning something as bizarre as the transition from following a muslim ideology to watching their Potentate release a disco record and transform their faith into believing their leader was a celestial alien being....and then an Egyptian Pharos...This is the story of Dwight York

I was going back and forth on if this could make a good case for 7DS but I decided it is the perfect case. While I don’t believe that Jack Kevorkian was a sinner or a saint, I believe he was a compassionate pioneer who was grappling with his own generational trauma in the face of the difficulty of being a doctor who has to watch people wither away and suffer - The crossroads of the death he knew as a child intersected with his profession and the unimaginable pain he had to walk his patients through on a daily basis until one day one of them just said Jack…. I’m done… I can’t do this anymore ….and Jack in his own weird way felt too much empathy not to oblige. 

The worst psychic of all time.
