A Little Bit Culty \\u2013

Jon Atack wants to help you protect yourself from the human predators who roam among us, and believes that every bad relationship, every destructive group, and every dangerous government has a human predator at its heart. This conversation was recorded several months ago, but it feels a bit prescient now that Putin is raining hellfire on Kyiv. The author, academic, and former Operating Thetan Section V chats with Sarah and Nippy about why it seems like psychopaths are running the world, and why he still has hope that humanity can turn things around in spite of itself.

\\ufeffAbout Jon Atack:

Our guest today is one of the only court-appointed expert witnesses on Scientology, and his book: Let\\u2019s Sell These People a Piece of Blue Sky, about the early history of the church, is cited by academics all over the world. Jon was a \\u2018public\\u2019 Scientologist for nine years, trained as a counselor, and even did the secret \\u2018OT\\u2019 levels, but ditched it when he discovered appalling, aggressive behavior towards members. In addition to his work podcasting as a Scientology mythbuster\\xa0 and using his Instagram account to help educate people on overcoming things like manipulation, destructive cults, and abusive relationships, he\\u2019s written several novels, including Voodoo Child (Slight Return), inspired by the life and downfall of Jimi Hendrix. By the look of all the fair gaming sites out there, he\\u2019s also a Marvel-esque villain who deeply hurts Scientology\\u2019s feelie weelies. This dastardly fellow lives in a charming village near Nottingham, England where, as Voltaire advised, he cultivates his garden. Exactly what a Marvel villain would do.
