A Little Bit Culty: Keely Griffin on Twin Flames & Other Dumpster Fires (SEASON 3 EPISODE 5)
Speaking of soul-crushing scams that exploit the basic human need for love and belonging, we've got a doozy of a Valentine's Day episode for you. We're not labeling the organization at the heart of this episode a cult, but we are asking our guest Keely Griffin if loving and leaving Twin Flames Universe was the bad trip that reports published by Vanity Fair,  Vice, and Daily Mail make it sound like. Once a devotee of TFU, Keely shares what made the YouTubey, Facebooky spiritual community sound promising at first, just how quickly it went to the Upside Down, and how she's coming back from the whole shitshow now that she's out of its grips.

Oh and just FYI, the list of what TFU officially disputes about its bad press practically writes our show notes for us: They dispute that they promote harassment and stalking. They dispute that they engage in exploitative and cult-like practices. They dispute that they coerce members into changing their gender. A Little Bit Culty, on the other hand, does not dispute that the whole TFU vibe makes us want to throw up in our mouths a little bit. Happy Freakin' Valentine's Day. 

PBS Frontline: A Class Divided
"The day after Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed, Jane Elliott, a teacher in a small, all-white Iowa town, divided her third-grade class into blue-eyed and brown-eyed groups and gave them a daring lesson in discrimination. This is the story of that lesson, its lasting impact on the children, and its enduring power 30 years later."
"People take part in a demonstration against COVID-19 vaccines in front of the Health Ministry in Asuncion, on January 11, 2022. 
  • A colony in Paraguay has seen an influx of arrivals due to COVID-19 skepticism
  • The community claims it is free from "5G, chemtrails, fluoridated water, mandatory vaccinations, and healthcare mandates."
  • They have said that the pandemic which has killed 5.6 million people is "non-existent."
Immigrants have settled in Paraguay's poorest region of Caazapá, creating a colony designed as a refuge from "socialist trends of current economic and political situations worldwide" – as well as "5G, chemtrails, fluoridated water, mandatory vaccinations, and healthcare mandates," according to its website.

The colony, named El Paraíso Verde, or Green Paradise, was founded in 2016 by  Sylvia and Erwin Annau, a composer and tax advisor born in Vienna, Austria, in 1954.

El Paraiso Verde was started in 2016 with the dream of a better life and future outside of the "matrix"  and is a refuge for "'conservative free thinkers,'" states its website.

It is mainly populated by German, Austrian and Swiss natives, many of whom are escaping COVID-19 restrictions, The Guardian reported. On the El Paraíso Verde website, Annau says he is eager to attract more settlers from the US."
"After wandering through a number of East European countries and being deported from many of them, members of the Lev Tahor cult have now moved to North Macedonia, where they are currently being treated as a curiosity by locals.

A group of members of the cult continues to migrate between European countries. After being deported from Bosnia about two weeks ago in light of complaints from residents expressing concern, members of the sect turned to Montenegro, but even there they did not hold out and continued to nearby Albania, from where they continued to North Macedonia and are currently camped in the city of Kumanovo."
