A Little Bit Culty: Mindf*ck 101: The Science of Brainwashing with Rebecca Lemov (Part 1)
"Diving deep into the mind games with Harvard professor and author #RebeccaLemov, because if you've ever wondered whether brainwashing is real, the answer is a very unsettling yes.
In Part 1 of our convo, we're cracking open the origins of brainwashing—from communist re-education camps to the electric shock labs of the Milgram experiment—and asking why we still can't seem to prove it in court. Rebecca's new book, The Instability of Truth, peels back the layers of mind control and thought reform, including what went down with Patty Hearst, why Stockholm Syndrome isn't what you think it is, and how emotional trauma becomes the secret sauce in cult programming."
"Drawing from rare archival materials, interviews, and the overlooked trauma history of Cold War POWs, The Instability of Truth traces how psychological coercion has evolved — from interrogation cells to algorithmic feeds. This book reveals how the idea of mind control has spread across the globe and penetrated courtrooms, secret labs, military schools, and today's digital sites."
ABC News: Amber Alert issued for missing Idaho teens linked to FLDS group
The Idaho State Police issued an Amber Alert for the two teens.
"Two teenagers went missing from eastern Idaho, according to local authorities, and their mother says she believes they left with members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS).
Rachelle Fischer, 15, and Allen Fisher, 13, were last seen on the evening of Sunday, June 22, 2025, in Monteview, Idaho, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Elizabeth Roundy, the children's mother and former FLDS member, told Salt Lake City ABC affiliate ABC4 she believes her children left with their older sister to fulfill religious obligations.
The FLDS is a polygamist breakaway offshoot of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and its leader is serving a life sentence in prison.
"They [were] willing to go because they think that it's their salvation," Roundy said."
