"As a cult survivor it's so great to see other people making the connection between toxic, abusive workplaces and cult dynamics/coercive control techniques. There are so many similarities, especially the culture of fear and silence around speaking out about the abuses of workplaces and abusive managers/colleagues etc.

leverage/paradigm

“Leverage” or “the ecosystem” were catch-all terms for a non-profit organization led by Geoff Anders which ran from 2011–2019. It grew to include many organizations, including the for-profit Paradigm Academy and the cryptocurrency startup Reserve. Leverage and Paradigm in particular, while legally separate entities, operated as an enmeshed social/cultural unit.

We were kept extremely busy. I feel this is relevant because in further readings I’ve done about cult dynamics, totalism, and the eight criteria of thought reform, overwork and busy-ness is cited as an essential ingredient in making recruits mentally less resilient, less capable of critical thinking, and more susceptible to influence....

I was regularly left with the feeling that I was low status, uncommitted, and kind of useless for wanting to socialize on the weekends or in the evenings. Geoff was known to sleep only about 5–6 hours. Multiple people in leadership had themselves booked from 7am until past midnight every single day of the week.

An arrest on gun possession charges in Queens, New York, in November 2021 has led the Federal Bureau of Investigation to a pedophilic, Satanist extortion cult that has victimized dozens if not hundreds of minors, according to law enforcement documents, court records and sources with knowledge of the investigation.

Law enforcement discovered the organization, known as 764 and a range of aliases, while investigating alarming social media posts made by Angel Almeida, a 23-year-old resident of Astoria, Queens.

[...]

While searching Almeida’s apartment in New York, investigators recovered a 9mm handgun, bandoliers of rifle ammunition, books pertaining to the Order of Nine Angles, and a flag bearing the insignia of an American O9A offshoot, the Tempel ov Blood, according to a November 2021 detention memorandum filed by federal prosecutors.

The most telling item was an O9A “blood covenant” featuring a blood-smeared drawing of a hooded figure with glowing red eyes surrounded with sigils for four O9A deities and the caption Vindex, Nythra, Satan and Abatu. At the bottom of the page is an oath: “A covenant signed in blood. May the DEVIL walk with you always – SATANAE MANIBUS” (“by Satan’s Hand” in Latin). Similar indicia have been found in possession of O9A-influenced killers in Britain and Canada.

I saw the picture in another article and the 'hooded figure' they're referring to's The Zodiac. You'd have thought a journalist would recognise that.

Is the USA about to have another "satanic panic"?

The defence for the suspect in the upcoming Delphi Murders trial released a 136 page memorandum alleging that he isn't guilty and that the two teenage girls were murdered by a White Nationalist pagan cult called "The Odinists" in a "ritual sacrifice", and that he is being tortured in jail by correctional officers who are members of the cult ( identified by the "In Odin We Trust" patches on their prison guard uniforms )

'Odinism', ritual sacrifice raised in defense of Delphi, Indiana double-murder suspect​

This is what I mean. Obviously it's not like we could do anything anyway, but it's just accepted that Tom Cruise is a Scientologist and people don't bat an eye.

As for others, there are but most of them aren't as high profile as him. Giovanni Ribisi's one; Ethan Suplee's one; Michael Peña's one; Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are rumoured to be, so Will would be up there with Cruise.

Beck,, John Travolta, Juliette Lewis (though Google says no more). I think there are really quite a lot. There was a programme a few years back where everyone involved was a member and the whole thing was based around the "teachings" - My Name Is Earl or something?

Maoist cult leader was found dead in bed in prison cell, inquest hears

Aravindan Balakrishnan, jailed in 2016 for string of sexual assaults, died of natural causes, coroner rules
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Balakrishnan set up the Workers’ Institute of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought in Brixton, south London, in 1974. He turned it into a secretive cult in which he led a group of about 10 women in what he believed was preparation for China to take over the world and create “an international dictatorship of the proletariat”.

To keep his devotees in check, Balakrishnan invented an invisible war machine called Jackie, which he said could kill or trigger earthquakes if anyone went against his will.
