She publishes countless videos online, creating a complex word salad of new age and quasi-religious claims, amassing followers and funds by selling counseling sessions and accepting online donations. But former followers and family members of those lost to the group claim that its leader - the so-called Commander of the Galactic Federation of Light - is actually manipulating traumatized people into emptying their wallets and giving up their lives to dedicate to the group, its leader, and their $1 million ranch in East Texas. Will law enforcement step in before more vulnerable people are lured into the group? This week’s episode is Profundity Yours - Part 2 Click here for this week's show notes.

A group of newcomers descended on a tiny east Texas town with their strange beliefs as their leader posted increasingly odd videos online claiming to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and also an extraterrestrial star commander of a galactic spaceship. They caught the eye of a journalist on TikTok reporting on cults, but once the group went viral, unsavory details about its leaders' past emerged. The group tried hiding its online activity, but some residents say the so-called doomsday cult has not stopped its pursuit of the small town. This week's episode is Profundity Yours - Part 1.

Our guest today is Professor Greg Jackson, best known as the creator, host, and head writer of the US history podcast, History That Doesn't Suck. Each episode, the professor brings you the basics of what an American should, but possibly doesn't, know (or has forgotten) about history. Full disclosure, he told us we could call him Greg, but we kept calling him Professor. There's also nothing more embarrassing than making a gaffe in front of a legit academic, so please listen as I try to lean into my mistake...

Dozens of school children were at play, enjoying the sunshine one September day in 1994. They saw a silver craft and were met by strange looking men who sent messages in their head. When the children told their teachers and adults what happened, they were met with both skepticism and genuine belief. Once a major news organization, an expert in UFOlogy, and an Ivy League researcher got involved, the story expanded well past the school yard.
