Join me as I sit down with Allie Mezei, a Chicago-based lawyer and the de facto legal expert for the Q Anon Anonymous podcast which covers extremism, disinformation, and sometimes -- like when Allie is on — cults.
Allie and I chat about the prayer that former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was noted as reciting several months ago at a public function and it’s distinct connection to the Church Universal and Triumphant, an offshoot of the I AM Activity cult that was founded in Chicago in the late 1800s. You may remember the I AM Activity name from the Montana bunker situation that made headlines in the 80s.
Allie takes us through the history of the two cults and her experience researching the Church Universal and Triumphant… one that took her to Brookfield, Illinois for an in-person church meeting and much more.
Grab a drink and join us!
TW: QAnon, Save The Children, cult victim stories... lots of unseemly things. Caution!
