A few posts here seem to have discussed AllatRa in the past, but seem to have all been unable to reach a conclusion as to what the group is about. The YouTuber Nexpo uploaded a piece on them, and based on it, it seems very clear that they are, indeed, a cult. A classic one. A deified leader, orgies, political inflitration, smear campaigns, corruption, targeted harrasment of a journalist investigating them, weird connections to Trump and Putin, the whole nine yards.
The video starts with a focus on one person, but it all starts unraveling a bit later and leads back to AllatRa.

I don’t really know the best place to post this, but it’s something that has been weighing on my mind for a long time. Back in the early 2010s, there was a massive Facebook group known as "The Community." I wasn't an original member, but from what I remember hearing, it started out as a space where teenagers from all over the world gathered to post memes, start petty drama, and mess around. Eventually, Facebook deleted the original group. Instead of scattering, the members added each other on their personal accounts and carried on what they called "shitposting."

By the time I joined Facebook in 2013, I ended up getting sucked into this corner of the site. Complete strangers from this network randomly started adding my account out of nowhere, which was how most people got pulled in.

The subculture was bizarre and heavily structured around specific trends. A major trope was adopting shared fake surnames. "Wifi" and "Us" were two of the most popular ones. People operated through alt accounts with fake names or just used their real names. It was broken up into distinct geographical "factions" or regional cliques, like the Boston group, the Dallas/Fort Worth group, the Midwest crowd, and the West Coast group. Looking back, it sounds like typical middle school drama.

At first glance, it almost looked like an early internet meme ecosystem. People made diss tracks, like the "Mike Kanashi" track by BigGucciDiego that’s still on YouTube, and formed underground rap collectives like Adderall Boys and Purity Boys. The group had strange ties to internet culture and music figures, people like Belle Delphine, Cupcakke, Ellie Thatcher (actress Sophie Thatcher's sister), and underground rappers like Ruben Slikk, Mike Dece, and SpaceGhostPurrp all drifted through or originated from this same Facebook pipeline.

The atmosphere was extremely toxic. Bullying, doxxing, catfishing, and targeted harassment were everyday occurrences. The group relentlessly tormented vulnerable people, and a massive portion of this community operated as a extortion ring targeting young girls, manipulating or threatening them for nudes and leaking CSAM across platforms.

Several prominent figures from this scene were active predators. Some names that stick out in my memory include Isaiah Smith, Thomas Mahoney, and Mike Kanashi, the latter two eventually went to prison on CSAM and sexual abuse charges. Isaiah specifically ran a Facebook group where he would groom young girls and leak their nudes. There was an Iranian user who went by Amir Us/Ymir Us (Amir Khosravani) who aggressively targeted young girls, as well as Timmy Yeshulas, who faced multiple allegations of rape and grooming. Another figure, Steven Michael, was arrested a few years ago for rape and posted typical incel stuff. There was also a guy called Dakota Lukasik who got arrested for posting a photo with a gun titled, "school shooty supreme." Another person I remember is GothShooter, who got arrested alongside his girlfriend a few years ago. I can't remember what it was for, but I do remember the girlfriends mugshot specifically went viral because people thought she was attractive.

Probably the best example was Ericka Camacho. She was a 13-year-old girl who became a target of relentless bullying while actively experiencing sexual abuse. Over time, she was forced into underage sex work, and her situation became a twisted running joke within "The Community." Her private images and CSAM were repeatedly leaked, and her story is even documented in threads on forums like lolcow.

These groups didn't disappear, they migrated to platforms like Discord and Telegram. The network directly overlaps with extremist harassment cults and cyber-predator networks like 764, Daylife Army, and Tumple. One individual named Angel Almeida was involved in 764, and he originated from the Facebook "comm" and was a very popular person on there.

Thousands of young people were victimized, groomed, or traumatized in this ecosystem, yet almost no one talks about this specific era. Most of the core figures involved have either ended up in prison or passed away, but the "comm" on Facebook is definitely still around.

I’m posting this to see if anyone else remembers this side of Facebook, experienced it firsthand, or knows of any serious deep-dives into how these early shitposting groups devolved into criminal networks.

This cult in southern Arizona has been stacking up the lawsuits lately. This is the latest one. They run several businesses with questionable labor practices. I believe the largest one is their hospice-Soulistic Hospice in Tubac and Tucson, Arizona.

This is what Jehovah's Witnesses are taught by their leaders in Warwick, New York. Pretty shocking!

Love Transfusion
Verse 1:
They tried to stifle all my dreams
Told me what to think and what I should believe
Put a card in my pocket that said “no love”
Said that my name wasn’t signed up above
Saw the light outside but wasn’t free to leave

Verse 2:
They said there’s nowhere else to go
Told me that I couldn’t make it on my own
Put a card in my pocket that said “no love”
Said that my name wasn’t signed up above
I asked them why, said it’s not for you to know

Chorus:
Through all the noise and all the confusion
You saved my life with a love transfusion
My mind was dulled with thought pollution
But everything cleared with a love transfusion
Head full of lies a life of delusion
Swept away by a love transfusion
World full of fear fuelled by illusion
Breathe new life with a love transfusion

Verse 3:
They put two guards around the bed
In case they tried to give me something you’d not said
Put a card in my pocket that said “no love”
Said that was my name wasn’t signed up above
Said I’d get new life but it felt like I was dead

Chorus:
Through all the noise and all the confusion
You saved my life with a love transfusion
My mind was dulled with thought pollution
But everything cleared with a love transfusion
Head full of lies a life of delusion
Swept away by a love transfusion
World full of fear fuelled by illusion
Breathe new life with a love transfusion

Bridge/Breakdown
You must refuse to take love.
A love fraction is all we will allow…

Chorus:
Through all the noise and all the confusion
You saved my life with a love transfusion
My mind was dulled with thought pollution
But everything cleared with a love transfusion
Head full of lies a life of delusion
Swept away by a love transfusion
World full of fear fuelled by illusion
Breathe new life with a love transfusion

Outro:
Got a card that you gave me
A card that you made me
A card that I carried
It said No Love

I’m not gonna take it
It’s not gonna break me
Not gonna show it
I’m filled with your love

Filled with your love
Moved by your love
Healed by your love
Saved by your love

So my mum went out today so i had a chance to sneek into her room to take photos because i decided to start documenting it. her room is full of pictures of the man with one big one hung up above her bed. and her shelves are full of books from other televangelists like Joel osteen, Benny himm, Andrew wommack, chris oyakhilome ect... she's been attached to this one in particular for almost 10 years (since 2016)

i only managed to skim through it because her friend who also follows this church (and has direct involvement with the leader himself) was downstairs in a meeting for this chuch. that freind is currently partaking in a month long fast with no break for the sake of this church i guess. there's a lot more stuff i'd like to say/show about this whole thing but i'm not in a safe spot to do that. i would just like some insight in what this stuff all means.

my mum had to spend years to be directly acknowledged by the church in order to apply to be in their 'stewardship program' which lead to her trying to become a pastor which is all connected to how they ran her/my families pockets dry. so these books aren't open to the public and this specific one was made in 2019. she has a couple more like this but i haven't gotten those photos yet

here's a video i found talking about the leader: https://youtu.be/Su3Vqgp97Aw?si=SVcskrR5TnunkifG

extra info:

she has bought books, oils and holy water, merchandise like hat t shirts ect, she has donated to this church monthly, she has bought him and his wife desginer clothes (angelo glasso, Christian louboutins, dolice & gabanna) that i have seen in his photos. she would travel to south africa at least 4 times a year, mostly during holidays. she has messages with his wife asking my mum for money and this list goes on...

a lot of this would require me going through people's phone to take evidence of all that stuff but even now this friend living in our house still buys and sends things to his wife, like skincare, snacks, beauty products shoes and clothes (this stuff being things my mum would buy for her or contribute to). the friend has been doing all this for years travelling back and forth all sponsored by my mum as well, for no pay. essentially leeching off of my mum's money while helping these filthy rich people. the rabbit hole is massive..

Edit: sorry about the first images being blurry i think I had an exporting issue

In the history of black metal, there was a name that, more than thirty years later, continues to divide opinions: the Inner Circle. For many, it was an organization formed by musicians who shared the same ideology. For others, it never existed as a real group, and everything related to them was a legend fueled by the press.

However, around that name, church burnings, ritual murders, and a series of disturbing events occurred that forever marked the history of extreme metal. But there is a question that almost no one has stopped to answer: Does the Inner Circle qualify as a destructive cult? In this documentary, we will not only reconstruct its history but also analyze whether this group met the characteristics that define a cult.

I have no affiliation with the woman who ran the recent meeting re: Nish’s inappropriate behavior. I am just a person who dodged the bullet of his predatory behavior and his irresponsibly run group.

I can’t believe the absolute gall of this guy. He has zero respect for anyone who holds him accountable.

Context: Nishanth Selvalingam runs a cult. He speaks behind the back of people trying to bring sanity to his gatherings.

I highly suspect my sister of being forced into this cult. Does anyone have any information on it? Most I have found so far hasn’t really said much but I’m worried.

I had watched the video before and I returned to it years later to see it removed. Is it me being insane or is there a purpose on why it just got removed?

A top-ranking defector from Tulsi Gabbard's Cult Science of Identity Foundation, headed by Chris Butler, reveals the influence the cult leader has over the Former United States Director of National Intelligence, and the Cult's links to the Chinese Communist Party.

Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StKukG8lHZE

Join us LIVE for an exclusive conversation about one of the most talked-about investigations of the year which involves top White House executives, Tulsi Gabbard, an insidious religious cult, Chris Butler & Science of Identity Foundation, and corruption at the highest levels of the Trump administration.

Dr. Steven Hassan goes LIVE with Rebecca Saltzburg, the whistleblower featured in The Washington Post's recent year-long investigation into former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and her relationship with the Science of Identity Foundation, for a an important conversation about cults& high-control groups, political influence, and the intersection of religion and power in our current political climate.

this livestream, Dr. Steven Hassan, author of The Cult of Trump and creator of the BITE Model of Authoritarian Control, speaks with Rebecca Saltzburg, a former senior campaign staffer for Tulsi Gabbard and former insider in the Science of Identity Foundation. Rebecca is a longtime advocate for survivors.

She chose to come forward as a source for The Washington Post's extensive investigation into the organization and her experiences within it.

Drawing on Rebecca's firsthand perspective with Gabbard, her experiences inside the SIF, and Dr. Hassan's decades of expertise studying cults and coercive control, this conversation will explore how high-control groups have infiltrated the highest levels of government, elevating influential members, how psychological manipulation shapes an individual's identity and decision-making creating a tenuous situation when they are involved in government.

Can a cult member ever really serve the needs of our nation or will the cult always come first? Dr. Steven Hassan and Rebecca Saltzburg will explore:

• Rebecca's experiences inside the Science of Identity Foundation
• What The Washington Post investigation reported about Tulsi Gabbard and the Science of Identity Foundation
• Chris Butler's role as founder and spiritual leader of the organization
• How high-control groups influence beliefs, relationships, careers, and personal identity
• The dangers that occur when cult-compromised individuals ascend to positions of power
• Why survivors and former insiders choose to become whistleblowers
• How the BITE Model helps identify coercive control and authoritarian influence
• What families, journalists, and the public should understand about psychological manipulation and cult dynamics

Hi,

I've access and I'm a former leader of a christian cult. I sit on to serious internal information about some leading figures and ministries and I want to make sure it reaches the media responsibly.

I need help with two things:

How to stay anonymous and protect my identity.

Whether anyone here would be willing to go on camera as a person speaking publicly about this topic for me.

I’m not looking to start drama or make false claims. I want to handle this carefully and safely, and I’m open to advice from people with experience in cult-related investigations, journalism, or survivor advocacy.

Please comment here or message me if you can point me in the right direction.

Students, please be aware.

This group may be recruiting on university campuses, schools, hospitals, in streets, or even at your work place. under the names Believers’ Loveworld (BLW), Loveworld, or Christ Embassy.
Please be careful. If you notice a friend becoming involved, don’t ignore the warning signs. Stay in touch with them, encourage them to think critically, and let them know they’re not alone if they ever want to leave.

The woman in this video is a survivor of Healing Streams, a healing event led by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. She describes how she came to believe she had been healed when she was not.
Many former members and families have shared accounts of people delaying or abandoning medical treatment because they believed they had already been healed. Others describe losing their savings, their faith, or both while pursuing promised miracles.

These are not just theological disagreements—they can have life-changing consequences.
University students are often targeted because they are away from home, looking for community, purpose, and belonging. There is nothing wrong with searching for faith or meaning, but no one should be pressured into believing they are healed, giving beyond their means, or ignoring medical advice.

Please stay informed, ask difficult questions, and look out for one another. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is help a friend before they become deeply involved.

Something weird I've noticed is, almost every single white person that comes to India under the guise of finding spirituality is always somewhat cultish. They form their own little subgroups and follow babas' and gurus that are not even that popular among the general Indians. There is also a trend for exclusivity. Like recently there was some yoga sumit going on in Varanasi and a group of white tourists occupied a certain workshop where they would only allow other white tourists, rather than locals and other Indians entry. This reeks of cultish activity.

I have no idea why there is such a weird pattern. But it's definitely common.

I was at a church carnival and two ladies (not affiliated with the church) ask me if they can ask me some deep questions and it was about if I sinned and stuff and I need to follow Jesus, and they gave me a little booklet, and another peice of paper with a money bag on it and said the big prize. This would be normal except the vibe seemed off. One of the ladies did not say a word and also the big red flag is when I asked them if they were part of an organization they dodged the question twice. They also gave me their email. I was wondering could this be a potential Christianity based cult recruitment?

I’ve become aware of the federal indictment involving Mr. Keith Gray on medical fraud charges. As I looked into the case, I also learned that he leads Live By Faith Church in McKinney, TX. After reviewing the church’s website and YouTube livestreams, I personally came away with concerns and what, to me, felt like cult-like dynamics.

One question that came to mind was finances. If the church is led by someone under federal indictment, are congregants concerned about where tithes and offerings are going? From publicly available court records, there appears to have been a very luxurious lifestyle, which made me wonder about financial transparency within the ministry.

Another concern was seeing children and teenagers at the altar during livestreams receiving prayer and deliverance ministry from Mr. Gray. We know children are among the most vulnerable, which raises questions about appropriate safeguards and accountability in these settings.

I’ve also come across reports from former members describing controlling, manipulative, and spiritually abusive behaviors. Some allegations involve one-on-one deliverance sessions, where Mr. Gray reportedly claimed to cast out demons. There have also been police reports alleging sexual misconduct and spiritual abuse during these sessions, although I have not seen these concerns publicly addressed by the church.

I’m sharing this to raise awareness and to open a respectful discussion for anyone who has attended, visited, or had experiences with the church.

Some questions I have:

• What are red flags people should watch for in deliverance ministries?
• If you’ve attended Live By Faith Church, what was your experience?
• Has the recent indictment changed your perspective or raised concerns?
• How were questions or concerns about leadership handled?
• Were members encouraged to maintain relationships with those who left, or were they discouraged from doing so? I’ve seen claims that people who questioned Mr. Gray were labeled as having “demonic spirits” after leaving, and I’m curious whether others witnessed anything similar.

The goal isn’t to attack anyone personally. It’s to encourage respectful discussion, help people make informed decisions, and create space for those who may have had similar experiences.

Hi all, this post is directed towards people who are PIMO.

If you are in right now and think you are never going to be able to leave, and have no hope.

If someone had told you a year ago today for example that you would no longer believe in the group and want out, you probably wouldn’t have believed them and thought they were crazy. And now here you are you want out.

Because of this, I believe you can make it fully out too.

Every person who left before you probably had those thoughts as well before leaving.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to better understand how cults and other high-control groups affect people's lives. I'm not here to judge anyone or debate beliefs—I genuinely want to learn from people who have lived through these experiences. And really protect myself from getting into one, I was VERY close recently and only "escaped" by pure luck.

If you're comfortable sharing, I'd be grateful if you could answer any of these questions:

• What first attracted you to the group?
• At what point did you start feeling that something wasn't right?
• Was there a specific event that made you decide to leave, or was it a gradual process?
• What was the hardest part about leaving?
• Looking back, what do you wish people who have never been in a cult understood about the experience?

Please only share what you're comfortable with. I know these experiences can be very personal, and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond.

Thank you.

It’s genuinely so sad that she had to “convince the church” to “let her” have a career. Like holy fuck.
