Ever since I had John P Capitalist on a few months ago to discuss the “sovereign citizens” movement and some of the legal chicanery they get up to, I’ve had questions about how they misunderstand the law and why. This week I have Ciprian Ivanof on to answer questions about how the legal system works and most importantly, what we all should know about it to better understand how not to be taken advantage of and to know your rights. Enjoy!

This week I am joined by Dr. Natalie Feinblatt, trauma and cult recovery specialist who has been treating patients for over 15 years, many of whom were involved with a destructive cult in some way. We discuss the nature of trauma, some points of cult recovery and a lot more. Enjoy!

This week I am joined by former Evangelical pastor Clint Heacock to discuss the new documentary “The Family” about covert fundamentalist political influence in Washington DC and around the world. We discuss the cultish overtones of this activity and why it’s a threat to our democracy.

This week I am joined by my wife Melissa for some real talk about further levels of recovery from Scientology indoctrination. This podcast is not a factual breakdown of the phenomena, it’s my very personal take on what has been happening to me recently. It’s all moving in a positive direction but the road has been rocky.

This week I am joined by Dave Warnock, a man with a terminal illness who is now speaking up and speaking out about his past, present and future with Evangelicalism (he was a preacher), his uncommon description of shunning and how he is now spending his time. I hope you’ll take a listen. This one is pretty special.

This week I am joined by Michael Creger, a man fighting not only a bitter contest with his ex-wife over custodial rights to their daughter, but has now found himself in that same battle against the Church of Scientology itself, including all the fair game harassment tactics they use against Church critics. His story is moving and impactful and I hope you’ll take a listen.

This week I am joined by former Scientologist and very high level Sea Org member Karen de la Carriere to discuss the current legal situation the Church of Scientology finds itself in, how its Office of Special Affairs normally goes about its business and why this time, this current round of lawsuits might just be something worse than Scientology has ever had to deal with before. Enjoy!
