My childhood background: My mother got recruited into a counterfeit (false) 'Christian" high-control-group 'culty' international religious sect, when I was 3 yrs old. I was in it as a "true believer" for over 40 years (pretty much my whole life, for all intents and purposes). (I finally got out of it in my late 40s). So I TRULY, from first hand lifelong experience, KNOW CULTS and Cult-group dynamics. David, the observations you've made are SPOT ON, and recognizable traits / characteristics / modus operandi, aross the board, in any and all high-control / totalitarian-structured CULT / SECT groups, no matter what type of group. Well done regarding your observations. Appreciate so much your astuteness and sharp instincts and detective, truth-seeking mind / soul. KUDOS. One of the QUICKEST criteria red flag to ask oneself, in evaluating "cult-dynamics" / totalitarian modus-operandi at work, is: Is it verboten, stigmatized, penalty-'d to QUESTION / COUNTER-Point any of the policies, doctrine, leader-issued missives (directives, interpretations of info)? Is dissention of any manner or kind, along with "alternative research info" STRONGLY DISCOURAGED, DEMONIZED and BOOGEY-MAN'd and Warned-against to a point of fear-mongering? If the answer's yes, it's a CULT dynamic / Totalitarian operation.

'Climate change' aka 'global warming' was also deliberately set up as a cult and is still being pushed by some as such. The 'New Age' characteristics were also introduced deliberately as a cult, mainly to divert the Left from properly analysing and exposing the decarbonisation (now called 'Net Zero') policy pushed primarily by United Nations' institutions and the Sustainable Development Goals and actually being implemented by some national governments via 'climate' legislation', supported by the Greens, foolhardy Leftists and ordinary members of the cult.

Little childhood wake up calls helped me as a child. Like when a neighbour's dog caught and killed my pet guinea-pig, said neighbour presented me at four years old with it wrapped in newspaper; I could see blood seeping out and I knew he was wrong to do this.

My previously well respected Headmistress lost all credibility when I was in her office because of my Detention for being seen not wearing a school hat on my journey to school. She referred to a crucifix I was wearing and told me I had no right to wear it because of my misdemeanour. This is why I have much respect for children, they may not be able to articulate their thoughts but they know things! Seems many adults have lost connectedness to their intuitions and instincts.

You have to admire the brilliance of the cult programming that was used against us all. Once you realise there is a clear set of principles and practices behind any scale of cultish programming, its so much easier to accept that this was entirely researched and planned. Yet at the time it all seemed emergent. The concept of a majority cult is one of your genius interpretive ideas. Also the concept of Omniwar. Simple, and captures it all.

Haha, thanks Bronte, but in truth this chapter was inspired by CJ Hopkins' writings (in real time) on the majority cult. All I have done is flesh it out with some serious research.

You make a great point - things seemed emergent and in some sense organic at the time.

The reality, however, is that everything was coldly premeditated and planned with a high degree of precision.

Unfortunately I cannot see your post because of the UK Online Safety Act.

This is precisely why I am leaving Substack and have set up my own website, davidahughes.net

I don't think it did. A number of other lines of evidence also indicate the same - pre and post wwii published numbers of Jews, forensic examination of the death camps, the outbreak of typhus (introduced by the allies). Given the control of the media by Jewish parties during and post WWII it falls into the 'cult' category.

A general question for you David.

What is your position on the Holocaust. I have watched a number of narratives and videos which present some pretty convincing forensic information which illustrates that it was overstated or false (not least Dr. Irving).

David A. Hughes's avatar

What do you understand by the term "Holocaust"?

Mike Hardwicke's avatar

The supposed attempted eradication of German Jews. It seems clearly documented that the numbers are vastly exaggerated and I think that their were no death-camps and rather they were work-camps.

David A. Hughes's avatar

And in your mind, where did this "supposed eradication" occur?

Very consistent analysis. Would you accept invitation to present your views and discuss possible further developments on our podcast. https://zsz.si/

How could I turn down my first opportunity to address a Slovenian audience? If you send me a DM we can get something in the calendar.
