Blood Atonement: The Fatal Occult Ritual of Early Mormonism
Deep in the archives of Mormon (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) history, you will find the dark stain of blood atonement. Rather than the sacrifice of Jesus being enough, some sins were too great and would have to be paid for by your own m*rder to gain salvation in the afterlife. Led by a history academic, Julia with @analyzingmormonism on instagram, we go through the ways in which early LDS leaders taught and practiced blood atonement. Also covered, are the ways current fundamentalist leaders still implement the horrific practice. Click here to watch on YouTube Follow Julia!

I Was Sold by My Mother to an Elite Pedophile Network at 6
Anneke Lucas was born in Belgium where, at the age of 6, she was sold by her mother to a s*x traff*cking p*dophile network for European elites. Her family’s cleaning lady ab*sed and gro*med her before colluding with a relative to pimp her out to the exclusive club for dr*g-fueled orgies. She would continue to be ab*sed and tortur*d as a s*x slave for years. She had never gone to police with her claims because she was scared into silence after watching kids getting k*lled by members as a "warning" to others. Anneke Lucas survived some of the worst atrocities known to humankind before the age of 12. After living in London, Paris and New York as a young adult, she moved to Los Angeles where she began therapy, yoga and meditation. Today, she is the founder and Executive Director of Liberation Prison Yoga, a non-profit organization based in New York. Now an advocate for other survivors, Anneke openly speaks about her experience. A story that truly emphasizes the power of hope, we dive into Anneke’s story, and healing journey.

Satanic Panic Accusations: Chinese Mormon Convert Loses Children for 25 Years (daughter explains)
As a follow up to her incredible interview, we are joined today again by Lydia Knight, who grew up in a pioneer stock Mormon (LDS) family, but layered on top of that was a twisted, fabricated reality that her father was actually the leader of a Satanic cult who had violently abused her as a baby. Lydia’s mother said she had received revelations of these horr*fic things and Lydia’s grandmother capitalized on this by gaining love and adoration from the LDS church members by appearing as a savior to the ab*sed children. Kidnapped from Lydia’s father by her mother at 2 years old, she was told he was always searching for her so he could continue his Satanic practices. Not only was Lydia dealing with these imposed traumas, she was told if she ever broke the rules of Mormonism or told someone about her past, her whole family would be tracked down by the Satanists and killed. Fear and terror ruled her life until she finally decided to look for the evidence. What she found crumbled her entire reality and she began the search to reconnect with her father. Today we dive deeper into her father's perspective. Click here to watch on YouTube Watch her initial interview here Find and support Lydia!
