Saturday Night CULTstack

Two years ago, MOVE headquarters went up in flames - the cult said nothing, and the press looked away.

Keeping a lid on AUM is common sense.

Any group with a history of violence, death & destruction should not be given the benefit of the doubt or a historical rewrite.

And that of course brings me to the cult of which I am the expert - MOVE.

MOVE has always been a destructive cult created by a sociopathic narcissist named Vincent Leaphart. Destroying lives was his goal and he achieved it.

MOVE calls him John Africa.
I call him a criminal mastermind that used coercion and violence to control his disciples to commit crimes for him.

Read or listen to story about AUM cult and let me know your thoughts in comments.

The Public Security Examination Commission extended the restrictions on Aleph, a successor group of the now-defunct doomsday cult, until March 20, 2026.

Is everything bigger in Texas, including MOVE lies?

Read my Substack for today.

Michael Davis would like you to know him as Mike Africa Jr. — a name invented by the MOVE cult to hide members from accountability, confuse law enforcement and child protective services, and erase personal identity.

47 years ago today, Vincent Leaphart ruined dozens of lives and murdered James Ramp. He did bot pull the trigger, but he pulled the strings and got away scot-free.

I wrote three substacks focusing on the victims of this day.

Providing visuals is what I was missing with just the podcast.

Hope you will check it out.
