#290 - A God called JACKIE (Aravindan Balakrishnan, Brixton, UK)

On Friday 25th of October 2013 at 11:15am, charity workers aided by the police coordinated the escape of several followers from a flat in Brixton. Some of the women had been held for 30+ years, one for her entire life, but they didn't see themselves as hostages, as having began living life in the commune under a political belief, they didn't realise it had become a cult, under the control of their leader 'Comrade Bala' and a God-machine called JACKIE.
