There's no place to escape to this is the last time on the left
That's when the cannibalism started
Kruger storm in the house Kruger's door! Let's wrap this werewolf up baby!
Dude, so much shit!
We're turning this werewolf into a GD mummy!
Hell yeah baby!
Oh my god, can you imagine a werewolf mummy?
Oh my god, how about a werewolf daddy?
Actually, you son of a bitch!
Welcome to the last podcast on the left!
Guess what, ladies and gentlemen?
Unfortunately, brat season Ladies and gentlemen.
Unfortunately, brat season is officially over.
Ah, man!
My name is Marcus Parks.
I'm here with Henry Zabrowski.
What do you think about werewolf mummies?
Or a mummy dracula or a werewolf mummy blue lagoon monster?
I am actually thinking about bigger, more important things, Marcus.
Bigger, more telling things about the very center of our country. Like who am I and where am I right now?
I hate to continually call you wrong, but it's the black lagoon. Thank you.
That's true. That's true. My mind is too addled by the monster match to think correctly. And
I'm here with Ed Larson. I haven't gotten over the Monster Match.
I'm a werewolf. Well if you are a werewolf then you should probably go to jail for many crimes
because werewolves intrinsically commit murder. It's during the day no one knows it's me. You're just a big fat man. You're just a hairy fat man. So here we are Cougars Darp, part four, the conclusion to this series.
Now you're going to see why we took this long to get through this much cult material.
Will I?
No, you won't.
But we're hoping that our audience does because obviously we woke up today in a new fun world
and we are just rolling with it because we have to.
I'm just so upset that Quincy
Jones isn't gonna know the end of the Kruger's George drama nobody tell Jimmy
Carter what happened so when we last left the members of electus per deus they had
just killed their fifth and sixth victims but these murders had very little
to do with the motivations behind their first four killings which were committed
ostensibly as a righteous act to battle the forces of Satan. The murders of Joan and Peter
Meyer, however, their latest victims were simply the result of a robbery gone wrong.
A robbery did wrong. That's what I would put it that way.
Did wrong and gone wrong.
Anyway, also you're robbing people without money.
Those the first ones, the Myers, they were wealthy. they were wealthy, but they didn't have cash on hand
Yeah, they of course not no wealthy person has cash on hand
They went through the pain of an entire pitch meeting in order to get nothing
They listened to this man talk about a South African water park for 45 minutes
You know the he will have is the crocodile area
45 minutes. And over here, what we'll have is the crocodile area.
And over here, we'll have the area where you can get to this point.
Again, it's a zoo.
It's all a zoo.
And over here, we'll have the area where you can get to the monkeys.
And over here, we'll have the areas with lots of zebras.
And we're gonna have a lazy river so lazy that it's a lake.
It's more of a sitting pool of water.
It's so lazy, it's just sand.
It's much sand and dirt. It's a sand. It's very hard packed dirt.
Tired water.
See, the leader of Electus Perdea, Cecilia Stane, had commanded her cult to somehow find
money for the fictitious American orphans that had become the focal point of the group.
But this was only after the group had been quiet for two years.
Maybe they were quiet.
Maybe.
Also, remember, just to set the context again,
the fictitious American orphans were the orphans,
the babies of witches that were supposed to use
those babies in rituals where they were supposed to
carve up those babies and turn them into potpourri
for Satan.
And then, but instead, these wise witches
that are so indebted to the power of Satan,
but they don't want to give up their child for some reason,
they still then will put this child
in a very special orphanage-like system
that is still being attacked by the powers of Satan
from outside of it, because those kids
were lined up to be sacrifices,
and instead, what they did was take a bunch of Virginia hams,
put bonnets on them, and put them in the grinding machine.
Well the reason why the cult reactivated was because their breadwinner, Zach Valentine,
had quit his lucrative insurance agent job to start his own business as a stockbroker
and he had failed miserably.
I had a listener point out something that I can't help but feel.
I've been dragged into this just because of who I am.
In the year, I believe this happened in the year 2012, right?
2013.
This was more 15.
Yeah, so this came out right after Wolf of Wall Street.
And if you look at Zach Valentine, and I watched a bunch of court footage of him,
you could tell he's a man that might have much.
And I love being in Wolf and I love being a part of the legacy of Wolf.
Great movie.
But it did inspire some less than fun guys
to do stuff that they shouldn't have been doing.
And then Zach Valentine probably saw Wolf of Wall Street and in his mindset was like,
that's amazing!
You know what I mean?
Like, that's exactly what I want to be because they only watch the first two hours.
That's how it always is.
They watch the first two hours and they're like, that's incredible!
And then they get bored when everything gets all the, when the repercussions show up.
Maybe it was the werewolf of Wall Street.
You ever think about that? They get bored when everything gets all the with the repercussions show up. Yeah, maybe it was the werewolf of Wall Street
Don't you make fun of the only good thing I've ever been in besides pretty face
Because I could failed so miserably
They had to keep Cecilia Stain lifestyle going some somebody's got to keep that man She's a she ain't paying for extra large sweaters and hair gel by herself
Yeah, man. Someone's got to pay the bill at limelight. Oh, yeah
But the problem with that robbery the one which they killed Joan and Peter Meyer was that the crew had come away with just a hair
over
$40 for the whole operation it involved costumes backstories financial plans
Now after the robbery double murder was ultimately a net negative to the cult, they decided to
enter the world of insurance fraud.
Man, I gotta say this again guys, remember, insurance fraud is hard.
It's hard to get done.
Think about it.
It's hard to get an insurance payout even when something real happens.
Just know that.
That's how they get you.
It's better than committing murders
like sketch comedians though.
Yeah.
Nothing, absolutely.
Nothing makes it more unforgivable
than the fact that they brought props and costumes.
I did it for so many years,
and I was so embarrassed each time
to think that you did that to bring it to fight Satan.
You thought that that's what you're gonna need? Is props?
Well, the thing is that they really didn't have
the imagination nor the desire to plan a scheme
that didn't somehow involve killing someone.
Now, after Zach Valentine's wife, Michaela,
was murdered by the cult after she tried to leave,
Zach changed the main beneficiary
on his life insurance policy to Cecilia Stain,
meaning she would be the
recipient of over $200,000 upon Zack's death.
Ooh yeah, and she was S in that D, and she was scrubbing that P, and she was rubbing
that B up and down his M.
Was she?
Yep.
Wow.
But the plan wasn't to kill Zack.
Instead, Electus Perdeus were going to fake his death and use another body in his place.
For the body, Electus Perdeus chose a 41-year-old black man named Jerrod Jackson who lived at
a nearby shelter with his pregnant wife.
The cult had recently befriended him, and because of his station in life and because
of his race, they figured correctly that his disappearance wouldn't be investigated.
So was Zach black? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no He would look so black that you'd assume. They're all white, right?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Just wanted to double check.
Oh yes.
His name's Zach Valentine.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry.
And so the manipulation began in the typically Byzantine, electus per deus fashion.
Every plan they have is so fucking complicated.
It's because they just do meth and sit in an apartment all day.
Yeah.
Well, in early December 2015, Cecilia Stain hired Gerard to clean a storage room in her apartment complex,
then told Gerard and his wife that they could then live in that storage room rent free.
Okay.
The only catch, besides the fact that it was just a fucking room without a bathroom or a kitchen.
It's a storage unit.
You keep saying storage room.
It's a unit. Very different. No, it's at the apartment complex, so it is a room. But it or a kitchen. It's a storage unit. You keep saying storage room. It's a unit. Very different.
No, it's at the apartment complex.
So it is a room.
But it's a unit still.
You know what I mean?
It's like a window.
No, or a bathroom or a table or it's not a room.
Yeah.
Well, it's a room.
It is a room.
It's four walls.
Yeah.
No, a unit is a part of a larger complex.
It was a part of a larger complex.
But of other units, It has to be solely units
for it to be a unit. I think that if it comes down to choosing a room or not, Rob, you lived
in a studio for a while. You know the true difference between a unit and a room. Oh yeah.
One love can live in and one can't. Yeah. Yeah. You go crazy in one. You know what you
do? You get that fake window, you know, You just buy blinds and staple them to the wall.
Nothing is more...
Nothing makes me more comforted
than a plastic sheet looking like sun and trees.
Well, the catch was that Gerard and his wife
needed to be locked inside at night
so the other residents of the complex
wouldn't stumble upon them.
Poor and desperate, Gerard and his wife agreed.
And you'd think that this had something to do with the plan.
Nope.
But it had nothing to do with the plan at all. She loves improvising
Yeah after four nights of sleeping in the box
Cecilia lied and told Jared and his wife that they'd been caught and they had to leave wouldn't they know there's no place for them to go
Yeah, I mean they would know if they got caught. Yeah, our friend Mike one door would open
Yeah, our friend Mike Lawrence definitely knew he was caught by my landlord when he was fucking sleeping in our first studio, which was also the cellar in my apartment building.
He got caught.
He knew he was caught and he was gone while I was at the, I went to the grocery store
and he was gone when I got back.
I can't believe that he was found in that dungeon.
Like people actually went down there.
He was the Elizabeth Fritzel of the early New York comedy scene.
The fact that he was kept down there and it really changed the entire composure and it
changed his, cause I just remember him sitting in his whitey tighties playing with his action
figures and then God, how surprised your Hasidic landlord must've been to see that large man
in there. Sleeping on the couch while we did round table, dirt floor.
Is it over?
Well, what Cecilia told them was that she had found a cheap room to rent for Gerard
and his wife just a block away.
But at the same time, in preparation for the eventual murder, after which he'd have to
hide, Zach paid for a week stay at the nearby Herberg Hotel under the
name James Vermock.
This is kind of arrogant because James Vermock was the guy who'd recorded confessions of
the so-called Satanic Murders and had gone into witness protection after nothing happened.
Why don't they just make up a name?
I know!
That's what I don't get.
I think it's, well, with these types of people, they like to do the that's evil They are how evil is it that I'm using James of a marks name, but it's funny because it's evil in the name of Christ
So it's this almost perverted sense of what a Christian's duty supposed to be that we're still
way. They're dealing with that.
It seems to be a microcosm of the issue that we're currently having.
Christian duty.
See?
The main issue.
The main issue.
The main issue.
You know, they say it was like 45% of people didn't read a book last year.
I read one.
Now I know.
That was about the whale.
You did.
And that's why we're the good.
We're the chain.
Yes, that's why we're the good. We're the chain. Yes, that's it.
And so after Gerard's pregnant wife was presumably rehoused to the cheap room, Zach asked Gerard
to go for a drive.
Cecilia meanwhile had prepared three bottles of juice, two orange and one mango.
But she filled the mango bottle with 20 sleeping pills.
The plan was to knock out Jared, then kill him so his body
could take the place of Zack's.
But can it only work if Zack then does blackface from here then out?
No.
Which I do think that could have been very edgy. Could have really played to a lot of
different audiences.
Alexis Pribdeus very much did enjoy being edgy.
Oh, they did.
Yeah. Now when it came time to take the drive, Gerard found that this had turned
into a group outing. Zach picked LaRue for his murder buddy and the two of them loaded up Zach's
BMW with kerosene and gasoline before picking up Gerard. But there was also another car which was
driven by Miranda Stain and the cult's newest member, John Barnard. They would assist once the
scheme was played to its conclusion.
And so with everything planned out in advance,
the best their idiot minds could handle,
Zack and LaRue picked up Gerard
and the two-car caravan headed towards a town
called Petrus Stain.
And stain, I found out, it's a very common word.
It's like Stein or Smith, kinda, right?
Stein, yeah, it's the Afrikaans version
of Stein. Now once they were all on the road, LaRue, sitting in the back seat, handed Gerard
the bottle of drugged mango juice, saving the orange for himself and Zack. Why is mine different?
Shut your shut, go to sleep. Shut up.
Giraud soon passed out.
And once he closed his eyes, LaRue brought out a blue nylon rope and strangled Giraud to death while Zack continued driving.
After pulling over, Zack and LaRue were joined by Marinda and John.
And the four of them put Zack's BMW into neutral and gingerly pushed it off the road with Gerard's body still in
the passenger seat.
After dragging the body over to the driver's side, they slipped Zach's silver Adidas ring
on Gerard's finger to thought too! It's weird. In Europe, things get weird with the sports brands.
Yeah. Then, to make sure the Benz was correctly identified, they removed the license plate and
tossed it away from the car, thinking that no one would find it odd that the license
plate had unscrewed itself and wandered a few yards away all on its own.
It was the power of cross. He's trying to make it so we can know, did he?
Because that's a cross, does cross,OSS! He tells people what to do now.
You should have signed the back of it.
Zack, found, tack.
But now we get to the part where we see why it didn't matter if Durab was black or not.
The cult doused the car in kerosene and gasoline and lit it aflame, desperately hoping that whoever found the
car would just assume that the body behind the wheel was Zach Valentine's and wouldn't
ask questions about a car that had seemingly pulled off the road and spontaneously combusted.
They must have done a perquatly amount of sins there because of their hatin' and gore
wouldn't have chosen their car to blow up because it happens randomly all the time.
I mean one time I was thinking about cheatin cheating on my wife and he made my cigarettes all melt
I'll remember that knows is like oh, he's got something to do Christ a bit about me. I can't do that cross watching
Keep me cross watching me shit. You finally get the accent out. It's the last episode
Hey, I just know I just want our country to get to it. I get good at it when it's too late.
But that was their plan, is that the body would be so charred and unidentifiable that
they wouldn't say, like, oh, this is a black guy.
It would just be a crispy corpse.
It just doesn't really work out like that.
And they wouldn't be able to tell that he was strangled?
No, they would tell everything.
No, they wouldn't be able to tell.
Well, unless they, unless he broke the hyoid bone, but that's also assuming that they looked for
such a thing.
Yes.
And so, Zach was driven back to the Harburg Hotel with the plan to hide out until the
life insurance policy paid.
I am, however, a little fuzzy on the details as to what Zach was supposed to do after that.
They thought that he would just come back to the house and no one would know the wiser.
Yeah, I mean Kruger's Dorp is a relatively small city. It's roughly the population of New Orleans.
But from what I know in New Orleans, everybody's fucked everybody and everybody knows everybody.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Now before the car even burned out, police had arrived on the scene,
and because the license plate was thrown from the blaze,
the car was immediately identified as belonging to Zach
Valentine. But what police also immediately noticed was that the car was not on fire as a result of
an accident, but had rather been cautiously pushed off the road because there were no indications of
a crash like skid marks or broken glass and cars usually catch on fire because they flipped over.
Yeah, some like catastrophic thing that would happen to the fuel line that would then go
into fire next to the fuel line.
You push it off a cliff or something.
Do anything.
Yeah, it's like that scene of the Simpsons where Hans Moleman's car goes off the road
and it taps a tree and then blows up.
I will say they have a pretty good strong record of understanding that the South African
police don't really do a heck of a lot.
So I think that they pushed it off pretty lazily and didn't even think about it
because, you know, I guess the police just show up and say like,
well, priests do stuff like this all the time.
Could have found out whether the man had some form of like wearing mixed linens or something.
Or maybe when you drink the wrong kind of wine or something.
So they carefully push it off.
Yeah, a priest skate.
They push the car off a little bit onto the soft shoulder and they sit it on fire.
They just sit it right to hell right on earth.
Should have just blown up the gas tank.
No.
Why do you need kerosene if you got gasoline?
Because you got the kerosene there and what it does is you can directly affect the sinner, right?
It goes right on the sinner and you can't go, cause you know who didn't do nothing, leather exterior.
Cows are innocent.
He's the sinner.ner sin got burned. You go there. You gotta go take me you top flammable chemicals put right around there. Thank you, Jesus
Thank you, Bruce
Regardless of all the obvious signs of criminal wrongdoing the South African police once again gave the situation an old-fashioned
What are you gonna do?
Yeah, and it's hot out. They check the fire
out. It's hot out, things take to fire. It's dry. And they just moved on with their day. As far as Gerard's wife went, Cecilia told her
that before Gerard even got in the car with Zach that day, he'd crossed the road to where
two Nigerians were sitting in a white car. Oh God, not in Africa.
She was told that after a brief conversation, her husband got in with the Nigerians and
drove off.
But when Gerard's wife called his mother with this news, Gerard's mother pretty much said,
oh yeah, totally sounds like something Gerard would do.
I wouldn't worry about it.
Man, nobody's got any faith in anybody in Cougar's door.
Everyone's been like, yeah, that's to be expected.
So Gerard's wife, completely powerless, just had to accept the story for at least the time
being, although she had strong suspicions that something terrible had happened to her
husband.
She was living in a storage unit.
Things were going poorly.
And I think that this just adds to the pile.
Meanwhile, a medical examiner had looked over Gerard Jackson's charred corpse and immediately
decided that there was no foul play involved, solely
because there weren't any bullet wounds or obvious injuries.
But one thing that the doctor was interested in was determining the race of the body, because
even though it was charred, it still looked a lot like it belonged to a black guy.
And Zack Valentine was lily white.
Let's check its butt. black guy, and Zac Valentine was Lily White.
To head off this discovery, Marinda claimed that Zac was her brother, and demanded that
the body be immediately released to her care so she could cremate it as soon as possible.
So by either being a huge pain in the ass, or most likely by making a couple of well-placed
bribes, Merinda was able to get the body released and transferred to a funeral home with the
oddly informal name of Martin's Funerals.
Hey, I'm gonna get my mom and dad wrapped up at Sal's Fast Time Funerals, and I don't
want to hear any problems with discount funerals.
It's a lot of fun.
It's just a slide into a pit of lie
I would take my body to Martin's cuz he's so crazy
It would be a lot better if it was crazy Martin
Will get you a funeral for I have the It would be a lot better if it was crazy Martin's funeral. Crazy Martin's funeral.
We'll get you a funeral for half the price of any other funeral.
Are you Dan?
Are you looking for a discount?
Come on down to crazy Marty's funeral.
Once the body was there, Miranda brazenly demanded that the cremation be done as soon
as possible so she could finalize paperwork on an insurance claim.
She totally, she told him straight up. this is what I'm trying to do.
The funeral director, however, was a man of protocol and soon saw through Cecilia's lie
about being Zach's brother.
Think about this.
The only person that pumped any sort of break was the funeral home.
That's hilarious.
The whole police stop, everybody's looking over their their fellow neighbors the family members of the victims are like
What are you gonna do? Meanwhile like finally the land of the dead
Morbid person in town is like I think that there's something fishy with this corpse. I can't just burn it much to my displeasure
Well, that's also the life insurance is usually how funeral homes get paid
Of course, and that's how and that's always where as soon as the money's involved that's where they
really give a shit.
Even if he wasn't a man of principle I'd imagine that the cult spent all their bribe
money on the medical examiner.
So Cecilia called Zach's parents and told them that their son was dead and she needed
them to approve the cremation.
All in one conversation.
Hey you know hey how you doing Big ups with the sucker match.
Zach said, we want to turn them into a powder. Can we do it now?
Can I do it today?
Amazingly, they agreed.
Yep. Oh, yeah. I expected to get this call. Yeah, absolutely. Can we be there?
I'm going to bring some pills.
And they said they'd come to Martin's funerals the next day to pay for the cremation themselves
As far as I got cuz we don't take cash come on down to Marty's funeral because we take cash and I take blowjobs
I'm just advertising
Advertising tell me to come down there have sex with old Marty and you get yourself a free casket for your beloved mother
Well as far as everyone else in Zach's life, when electus per day has quickly spread the
word that Zach had died in a horrible fiery car accident.
In reality though, Zach was hiding out at the Herberg hotel where the cult brought him insulin,
food and smokes.
Yum.
At night, however, he would sneak out to Cecilia's apartment, albeit heavily disguised. Blackface. My true form. Later during the trial for Gerard
Jackson's murder, Zach would try to flip the whole thing back to Cecilia saying that he
only went along with the life insurance scheme because he was still too distraught over Michaela's
death and he believed that he was doing what he needed to do to protect the rest of his
family. Zach can go fuck himself. Zach, during a whole court case, he completely denied everything.
He didn't flip at all.
He's a fucking piece of shit.
Yep.
The police, however, were finally doing something, although they were doing it slowly.
And when I mean slowly, I mean very, very slowly.
See, before Gerard's body could be cremated, an investigator managed to halt the process
so they could take a DNA sample.
The body was transferred back to police custody where a sample was taken, and by June of 2016,
they said, they could properly identify the corpse.
Problem was, June was six months away.
Jesus Christ.
And Electus Perdeus would murder three more people in
quick succession before those results came back. Now as far as the insurance claim went,
that was hitting roadblocks as well because while Electis Perdeus had proved themselves
to be effective killers, they were terrible criminals. As most killers are. Yeah. Killers
on the whole are extremely bad at it. At crime. At crime. And there's, cause I do believe
that now I'm starting
to kind of see that the same gap in understanding
that allows you to do these types of impulsive crimes
also keep, it obviously is the same thing
as problem solving or like there's something in there
that the lack of impulse control keeps them
from also being good at it.
I think that's why they call it organized crime.
I just realized it.
I actually...
That's exactly why they call it organized crime.
Because they need a hierarchy.
They're ready to work.
Fly from your grave.
Well, a competent insurance adjuster noticed a lot of red flags surrounding Cecilia's claim.
They noted that Zach's policy had been taken out pretty soon before Zach had died, which is, you know, pretty strange for a young
guy like Zach Valentine, and the person who was so anxious to get the payout
was quite close to the person who was so anxious to cremate the body. That same
person had lied about being Zach's relative. Additionally, Cecilia had made
a payment on the policy two days before Zach's supposed death because the policy was already passed due
I mean it was the extreme is extremely suspicious the whole thing the account had went completely fallow
It was God
I think was like no payments for two years and then one day she paid a payment of like
$12,000 to get it all back up to date and then he died two days later like a fucking moron
Yeah
And so since the payout was held up and since Zach was now actively
Costing the cult money because it can't work if he's in a hotel there fucking they're paying for the hotel
They're paying for smokes paying for food. They're paying for insulin
He's having the best week of his life being dead
Listening to reggae fucking eating his insulin smoking his food
Because all this Cecilia once again got nervous. And when Cecilia got nervous, people usually
died. Now, once the cash reserves ran low, Cecilia returned to her old tricks by once
again making herself the focal point of the cult's mission, forgetting about the orphans
completely. Oh yeah. The orphans are gone. Yeah. Cecilia created a satanic witch named Jane, who was in mortal danger because she had stolen
money from the satanic church to give to Cecilia.
My most, most toxic trait as a witch is that my boobies are always wet.
I'm a big, mean satanic witch, but I don't want to be anymore.
I want to be in love with Jesus Christ.
I just hope Jesus will take my lithe satanic body and my wide, wet pussy ready for his fillings.
This is why we need an HR department.
Very uncomfortable.
Fill me! Very uncomfortable. Filmy! Well, if that money that Jane took and gave to Cecilia, if that wasn't returned, I suppose
before the church's satanic accountant noticed it was missing.
You have no idea what Satan's comptroller is like.
And what he does when you're overdue, he might take it out on my behind.
I do math for a Lucifer
Wait a second, what if I just fucking press my top balls into your bottom balls
Will that give us a little leniency?
Mr. Satan's well, I would see if as long as I put a period here and I carry the cock
What you're seeing is that Satan's accountant is Protestant.
Presbyterian.
Presbyterian.
Well, if that money wasn't returned, Cecilia said that both she and Jane would be hunted down and killed by agents of the devil.
Asians of the devil are some of the most sneaky versions of it.
Oh, agents.
Oh, agents.
Oh, agents of the devil, yes.
Asians of the devil would be a great Japanese metal band.
So the only way to keep Cecilia safe was to commit more robbery and murder.
Now it had never been the plan to
kill Joan and Peter Meyer but Cecilia convinced the cult that it was actually
safer to murder the people they robbed because then you got no witnesses and
since this was all supposedly for the greater good, greater good being save
Cecilia, then there was really no crime here in the first place. Yeah we're saving
Cecilia. Mm-hmm. Cecilia's got to be saved. Look at her.
Africa's never going to get their water park. No, no, this was really the nail in the guff.
Actually, I did get mailed. There are water parks in Africa.
Are there? But in South Africa?
Yeah, but it's mostly you go and you get it to drink it.
Yeah, it's not like the slides don't have water as much as just covered in WD-40.
And so the cult went back to their newest member, John Barnard, the only real criminal
amongst them so he could choose the next victim.
He settled on a tax consultant named Glenn McGregor because Barnard had heard that Glenn
was the type of guy who kept all his money in his house because he didn't trust banks.
How is he a tax consultant if he doesn't trust banks?
This is another problem.
He doesn't trust the banks.
How is he the guy consulting about with who?
Who is he talking to?
The first thing you want to do is take all your money, change it into silver and put
it under your mattress.
That's number one.
Number two, give me that silver and the mattress.
Number three, I'm going to fucking punch you in the face because you're a moron.
And so Cecilia told Marinda to make an appointment with Glenn McGregor under the veil of solving
Marinda's tax problem.
And I'm just now fucking realizing how stupid it is that the tax guy keeps all of his money
at home.
How does he pay his taxes?
It doesn't make any sense.
Did he send them a big fucking like package of cash?
What does he do?
Here's an IRU.
You're going to want to keep that one.
Like, is it that?
Well, advantageously for the cult, McGregor just happened to live on a small isolated
farm outside of town.
And so on January 27th, 2016, the cult sent out a larger crew than normal, which included
John Barnard, Marinda, Marcel, and LaRue.
Their ex-force.
Yes.
Yes.
Well, armed with a.22 revolver, tape, rope,
and rubber gloves, Electus Perdeus headed out
to Glenn McGregor's farm with the explicit purpose
of committing their eighth murder.
We're going out to murder.
We're going out to murder.
We're going out to murder tonight.
Oh, ba-da-bo-do-do-do-do.
Oh, we're going out to murder. Now Oh, but oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, up! Well, perhaps not knowing what else to do, because I guess they did put him in ease.
Glenn started laughing.
You crazy people. Because a bunch of children. Because you have LaRue is super young, Marcel
is super young. You've got John Barnard who just arrived here.
Well, he's an older man.
He is. But then Marinda, I actually now even watching a lot of the court footage of Marinda you can cut like
She had a she had an interesting presence. She definitely was an English teacher all the way through yeah
She was teaching English this whole time time killing people
All this shit whole time wild yeah, yeah, there's no school teachers on meth out there. No. I've never met one
I've never done drugs with teachers before.
Well, once Glenn realized that this was serious, he tried lunging for a Larue,
but as soon as Glenn moved, Marinda shot him three times. Damn! Twice in the stomach and once on the
side. Glenn then fell to the ground where he was tied up by Marcel. Marinda doesn't give a fuck.
where he was tied up by Marcel. Marinda doesn't give a fuck.
She is just a fucking cold-hearted, low-running fucking doldger dude.
That's what grading papers does to you.
It just makes you so crazy. She's been like,
I'm sick of syntax! I want to see blood!
Oh, I hate adverbs! I want intestines!
Did y'all watch the Last of Us TV show?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You remember that one?
I remember the gay kissing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was beautiful.
But remember the episode where they get to this town and the woman in charge of everything is a fucking demon?
Yeah.
And then you find out that before all this she was just a regular fucking person?
Yeah.
That's who Miranda is.
Yes.
Yeah.
But really that does make sense because Cecilia has created an environment in which Miranda does believe that every
Everyone's trying to kill her. Everything is dangerous every there's Satanist everywhere
I also she creates these conditions for people to turn and I felt bad for her
Maybe for a little bit for a while in terms of being brainwashed until I watched the court footage
Yeah, and then what they did we'll talk a little bit more
I don't feel sorry for her in any way whatsoever for being brainwashed because it
means she's fucking moron.
No, well, Marinda is literally the exact person we're currently dealing with.
You know what I mean?
Like it's the exact, that is the exact person that we're dealing with in America currently
is this style of person who's just looking for permission to be an animal.
Yep.
Well, immediately the crew ransacked the house
looking for money and valuables,
but again found nothing.
Turns out he was a tax consultant
and he did actually keep his money in a bank.
I thought he was bad at it.
Well, eventually they did find-
Yeah, I imagine him being like, where's the money?
He's like, invest it. It's earmarks for taxes. That's what I'm trying to tell you. That's all I
wanted to tell you guys. You came to me for advice. Eventually they did find a locked
cabinet, paid dirt at last, but were disappointed to find. Oh, it's just child pornography.
Well, it wasn't child pornography. It was just pornography. It was Glenn's pornography collection.
It's all just tax porn.
Accountants lay it right and like oh someone's it's time to peg the IRS. Sex by numbers.
The most boring board. It's all just itemized lists that equal out, and you're
just jerking off like, oh, 69 times 69 equals cum.
Fuck yeah.
No tits, only papers.
Well after that, Miranda asked Glenn again where his money was, but after being told
ain't no money in the house,
Miranda told Glenn that she'd call someone to help with his wounds if he gave her his PIN number.
He complied and Miranda, through a banking app, transferred $345 to her personal account,
writing the phrase, excellent fuck in the transaction comment, to make it look like he'd
paid her for an excellent fuck. $50 and your timely corpse will have to see my bush house
But as soon as that was done
Marinda gave a signal to the rule was this one
Yeah
Thumbs up comes up and the rule it apparently inherited a taste for murder from his mother
What gives me this feeling is that after the murder of Gerard Jackson remember?
He strangled him from the back seat of the car. The roux actually gave a name to his strangling rope. He called it his choky choky. He used the same rope
every time. Yeah. Get a new rope. It's everywhere. It's just choky choky. It's just choky choky.
Yeah. I mean, that's it. He did. Like, that's the thing. He gained like a sort of attachment
to his murder weapon. You don't have like a thing right in your home like we have like a shit stick
Yeah, that we use to get like so sometimes when the dogs go
Yeah, right. I got a specific tool that I use each time. There's no reason for it
It's an old scraper and I use it to get old dried wet shit out of the ashtray turf plates right I have to go and I've got to scrape it out
And I sound like I get some new stick each time. It's my stick
It's my shit pokey stick and everybody's got something like that where is my shit knife for years
But it just becomes a default thing that you're just using from then on out. Yeah
We're using the choky choky Leroux strangled Glen to death the only thing I have like that is my I have one can opener
Or one bottle opener my popener
It's a pope the John Paul II. I got it from my friend Joe garden our friend Joe garden. Yeah, that's the popener
I still have it to this day and I refuse to use anything else to open a bottle of my home
Why would you because that's it and it does its function?
Yeah, all right. The key though is that the thing does its function, but almost poorly, but you continue to use it
That's the key to be one of those objects.
But that's the thing is that the Chokey Chokey
actually did a very good job because it never failed
to chokey chokey someone to death.
It seems that a chokey chokey is one of the most reliable
things that anybody can have in their home.
It's just like, why is the cute name?
I guess they use cute names for everything out there.
Oh yeah, when you went to Auschwitz,
don't they call it like, oh the smelly house?
Didn't they call it something like that?
Oh, yeah, they'd be like, go take a smell!
Oh yeah, the burny burny.
We're using the Chokey Chokey, LaRue strangled Glenn to death, then helped his sister drag
Glenn's body to the bathtub.
Again, they believe that by putting the body in water, it would make the time of death Rue strangled Glenn to death, then helped his sister drag Glenn's body to the bathtub.
Again, they believed that by putting the body in water, it would make the time of death
harder to pinpoint, while also washing away their fingerprints.
WRONG!
The cult then left Glenn's body to be found the next day.
Freeze!
The key is to freeze!
That is how you figure out whether or not, that's how you muddy up when the actual day
is.
Oh really? Yes, freeze the body
I don't know that yeah
Well a lot of times the way that they tell the time of death is by looking at the insect eggs that are laid within
the body
after that the body expires because you can tell by the life cycle of a larva how long the body has been dead cool
Well, that's one of many ways to check someone's time of death.
You just lick it.
Or sometimes you do the thing too.
Now you do them at medium rare and meat when you do it with your photo meat.
It's the same.
Someone get me an entomologist.
We need to find out when this lady died.
Don't worry, the medical examiners know all.
Since the take was again quite small, Zach, the cult's new financial burden, was
moved to a small farm that cost much less than the hotel.
This guy's living the dream.
Well there he again used the name James Vermaugh to take another run at the stock market.
Again he failed.
He's very bad at it.
You gotta read the trades?
You know what I mean?
You gotta look at the cycles.
It's very difficult.
Yeah. And the thing is, I don? You gotta look at the cycles. It's very difficult. Penstocks. Yep.
The thing is, I don't think Zach's living the life
because all he's eating is instant ramen
because that's the most the cult could afford
because they still had to satisfy Cecilia's
every financial demand.
Well, just determined not doing anything all day.
Yeah.
And just hanging out.
He was more living life in the apartment,
in the hotel, where he was getting all the insulin.
But now I feel like, yeah, this might now,
he'd be like, well, I kind of want to be murdering again.
Yeah, I mean, after a while, the farm got to be too lonely.
So Zach returned to the Herberg Hotel in Kruger's Dorp.
Now, as it turned out, Zach's sacrifice
had been all for naught because on February 9th, 2016,
the suspicious claims adjuster not only denied the payout,
but also opened an investigation.
The adjuster, however, a bulldog named Shane Chatzkelewicz,
did not call the police and instead took on the burden of investigation himself.
The true knights of justice. The insurance adjusters. It's true.
During an interview at Cecilia's apartment, in which he grilled both Cecilia and LaRue, Shane noticed
that Cecilia dressed in an oversized tracksuit and a hat pulled low over her eyes.
He noticed that she giggled and cracked jokes with whoever happened to be in the room.
Have you seen the footage?
So the guy wore a cam.
They videotaped this whole insurance like investigation when they went in and go talk
to her and she dresses like gypsy Rose.
Like, cause at the time what she's doing
Is you would forget one of the games she's playing so we have she's doing so many different games to other people
I think we also have to remember so she's doing the I am a former Satanist that is beleaguered, right?
And if there are people coming to kill me there do she is doing the I'm a werewolf. I'm a werewolf
She's doing that she's all ties into the Satanist thing. She's also doing that
I have multiple personality disorder or DID which is also a part of it
But the other thing too is the pretend she has cancer
That is another thing that she was a line of thought during this time period that she's also telling people that she has terminal cancer
and she only has a period of time so what she's also doing is
shaving her head
and losing weight purposefully.
And she's wearing oversized clothes.
Like if you see this thing, she's like,
I just don't know what happened.
I don't know.
Like she does the whole gypsy rose, I'm dying voice thing.
And then what the,
but then you have like the shady ass motherfucker.
Like they're all like squirreling around
like a bunch of meth head
spiders behind her and it's just like you wonder why the insurance broker meeting didn't go well.
Well Shane of course came to the immediate conclusion that anything that came out of
Cecilia's mouth was a lie. To test this Shane asked Cecilia questions that he already knew
the answers to just to see what sort of bizarre story Cecilia would tell. When asked about Michaela Valentine's death, Cecilia said that it was two Zimbabweans who
killed her.
Some kind of Zimbabweans who did it.
Some kind of Zimbabweans.
Literally point at every other country, like the Nigerians.
Anybody else.
Yeah.
Anybody.
But she said that they'd been deported instead of being charged with murder.
Everyone knew that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not true.
When asked about the supposed death of Zach Valentine, Cecilia said that his wedding ring
and medical paperwork had been in the car with him, which they weren't.
And she'd claimed that the car had flipped during the accident, which is why it had caught
on fire, which it hadn't.
I thought the ring was in there.
Adidas ring.
It's some Adidas ring, not his wedding't. I thought the ring was in there. A Deedus ring, not wedding ring.
Oh my God.
Yeah, well I think that Cecilia was so used
to having her lies immediately accepted
by the members of her cult,
that she thought that she could say anything to anyone
and they would believe her because she was just that good,
or she may have also completely lost her grip on reality.
I think that that's a, I think that it's two.
I think that is a two-folded thing.
Porque no los dos.
Because for a while, she really did have a foot outside.
Like we talk about this a lot with cults,
which is how long does the leader have a foot
outside of the cult so they can understand
that what they're doing is a scam
and that they don't necessarily start getting high
on their own supply.
Cause that's what normally like they have to do in order to stay in control.
They have to also have a bird's eye view of the situation so they know how to make moves.
If they are too lost in the sauce, they can't make the big like timeline moves to hold the
cult together. So now I think that she has she's way overconfident. Mm-hmm to a
manic
Mental health version of overconfident whatever he's got away with nine murders delusions of grandeur that yes
She can do but it's only just because she's operating in a very she's operating in the perfect environment for him
Yeah, and I think
Cecilia like one of the things I realized over the last couple of days,
thinking about this, is that Cecilia's cycle at this point in time is that it kind of mirrors
what you see with serial killers. Is that she is, even though she is not committing any murders
herself, she's still getting a charge every time someone is killed, every time she convinces these
people to go kill someone for her. And what we see with serial killers again and again is that the less that charge gives them the more
they want to kill and the more often they kill. The higher the stakes they make for
themselves. And the sloppier they get. Yes they do have to make the stakes very high.
That's how it is with me and marijuana. I don't get high like I used to but so I
smoke way more and then you know I go to sleep and there's another day. But the difference
between us, truly, the difference between us,
truly, the difference between us and people who do sexually motivated crimes, Eddie, is the fact that I could just stop smoke a weed for three days and it just goes back. Yeah. You know what I mean?
These guys, they stop killing, they stop raping for like six months and they feel it just as bad
as before. It's like with, it's honestly closer to nicotine, it's closer to what Marcus is dealing
with still being on the patch. Yeah, 10 years on on I quit smoking over ten years ago now step one of the patch still right here on the left arm
He's eating them my boy patches
Forced to see patches patches I'm depending on your son to pull the family through.
I don't know this one either.
Is that the sequel to Christmas Shoes?
Nope.
It sounds exactly like Christmas Shoes.
Patches are part of an extensive list of story-based songs that have been known throughout of all
the 1970s, much like the night Chicago died.
Chevy fan.
Yes, those types of songs.
Patches, the song about a boy that's left behind to run the farm after his diddy-dies Gordon Lightfoot. Hey, I don't remember who sings patches
Clarence Carter Clarence Carter the same guy who did stroking
Backdoor Santa. Yeah stroking. Yeah
Yeah, wow
He contains multitudes. I love that song, Patches.
Yeah.
And I love that song, Stroken.
I'm a backdoor Santa man.
It'll be Stroken.
Now for Cecilia, the cult's financial problems were not a result of her spending too much
money on dumb shit.
Instead, she told the cult that it was all their fault because they weren't bringing
in enough money.
She's not wrong. Yeah. No, there's plenty of them. If they all got jobs,
they all just got legit jobs. They might be able to do this.
Well, the thing is they do like they do all have legit jobs, except they just don't pay very much.
And you know, in Cecilia is at this point, she's created this story where she has all
these financial burdens, like
these medical burdens, like I'm dying of cancer.
She also said, my kidneys are failing.
I have to pay for medicine and dialysis and I have to pay for psychiatry appointments
for my DID.
So she's created so many bills and she can't say at this point, like, oh, my kidneys are
fine now or oh, I don't have DID anymore.
She has to keep that story going you know and at the
same time she's just filling up her bank account and fucking having you know fucking the most
expensive top shelf margaritas that the Limelight Pub and Girl can offer.
Because you know those silver dollar margaritas at the Limelight have to be a man oh man they
fucking catch up.
Well if the cult didn't hop to it and turn on the cash spigot, Cecilia told them that
she was going to be killed by Satanists.
As far as the orphans went, that pretense was dropped altogether.
Or at least it faded into the background.
They aged out.
Yeah, they grew up.
They're a couple.
And so there's things in adult orphan.
Yeah, well, I mean, she could say anything because, you know, at this point, it's all
magic.
You know, she's just a you also when you get it down to people just this is how I operate on a day-to-day
Basis, and this is what I now consider my life, and I'm doing this
I'm just used to this this is the temperature to which I have grown accustomed
Yeah, and I am just gonna keep going and they doesn't really did you already made your choice?
Yep, either way though the only thing on the cult's mind was getting money for
Cecilia.
Now, their first plan was to kill Zach Valentine to lesser their financial
burden.
Great idea.
Because that's the thing.
I mean, they're looking at it.
They're basically looking at a budget and they're like, well, we could get rid
of Zach, you know, that'll save 40 bucks a week.
Yeah.
But after they voted that down, they decided.
Oh, wow.
See, it didn't pass Congress.
Just banish him!
No! They gotta kill him! They already said they can't leave witnesses!
Mm-hmm. After they voted that down, they decided robbery and murder really was their only option to make a quick buck.
Tell me about it!
So, Cecilia had LaRue draw up a list of potential victims.
Aw man, my list of victims is getting... Rrrrrrr next. That's a 2026 budget for LPN.
They figured that financial advisors would be good targets because they often held appointments
outside of their own office.
You want to make money killing a South African, Dave Matthews.
Or a police officer.
But having appointments outside the office, that would be key in luring targets into a
situation from which they couldn't escape.
So Miranda suggested her own financial advisor, Anthony Schoenfield.
These poor fucking business managers and accountants are all just like, why do you think I have
money on hand?
I've got all I do is tell people to not have money on hand
The difference between meth heads in South Africa and America is in Africa. They have financial advice
Well the roux called Schoenfield under the name Ruan Schuman. My name is Ruan Schuman.
And I am the man of shoes. Please. I have to talk about you. It is certain laces investment
that I am. You know, he was just like looking down while he was making up the name. He's like, I'm a shoe man. You call me Mr. Laptop
cup man. He's very Dutch.
I'm very Dutch.
LaRue set up an appointment for the next day, May 10th at the Key West shopping center,
ostensibly for advice about life insurance and investment. Yeah, absolutely on my way. But a couple hours
before the meeting, the Rue called Anthony Schoenfield and told them that he couldn't
actually meet at the shopping center. So maybe you can come meet me at my apartment instead.
So the Anthony, the accountant is going to bring with him to your apartment all his money?
That's what he's gonna do.
Well, the reasoning behind this runaround was that the cult believed that financial advisors kept paperwork about where they went for their meetings.
So if they changed the location at the last minute,
then the paper trail would lead police to think that Anthony had simply disappeared somewhere between his office and the shopping center.
I thought the point was to get money.
Yeah.
So the idea of all this, like they do all these planning being like, we're going to
get money this way.
And then it's just murder.
Well, it's murder with money.
We'll talk about the money here in a second.
It is interesting that they keep choosing financial advisors.
It's like, you know, you'd be, you would think that more murderers would have done this.
Yeah, it's like, yeah, you don't think that accountants
wouldn't always be strapped
and like followed everywhere with security.
If they were the number one money holders
and people walking around like, I just,
it's truly stupid.
Yeah.
Now when Anthony showed up to the cult's apartment complex,
he ran into Marinda,
not knowing that Marinda was LaRue's
mother. So Marinda, LaRue, and Anthony walked into Marinda's apartment, apartment number
17, where John Barnard and Marcel were waiting. After LaRue turned on some loud music, Marinda
pulled out her pistol and told Anthony, this is a stick-up, see?
Yeah, see?
And LaRue, embarrassed by his mother's old timey vernacular. Hey, you are the most ignorant bitch. This is not a stick
up. It is a hold up. Yes. He said, mom, it's a hold up. It's a hold up. Not a stick up.
Mama. Okay. And soon it will be. I just can't believe this is a detail
that was in the court.
Dude, this all comes out of the court case.
All of this is in the testimony.
And so LaRue tied Anthony's hands and feet with tape
and was strong enough to pin Anthony to the floor
when the 60 year old man tried wiggling away.
Again, they asked for his pin number.
And once Anthony's bank cards were in their possession,
Marcel and John ran out to the ATM to take out money.
As soon as they were gone, LaRue pulled out his Chokey Chokey and strangled his third
victim to death.
I tell you what, unfortunately, you will not be okey okey once you meet my Chokey Chokey.
That basically solidified LaRue as the new chief executioner of Electus Perdeus.
We.
I love to murder.
And Pogs.
I love Pogs.
Everything gets there ten years later.
The brand new thing is little discs.
Have you tried them?
With the slam air.
Little discs, the ultimate thing. Combat. Engagement. With your fellow man.
As far as the body went, the cult wrapped it in plastic bags and put it in the trunk of Anthony's Honda.
They then drove it to an elementary school and parked it in the lot with the keys and the ignition,
hoping that someone would steal it and take care of the body for them.
But Anthony's wife immediately noticed he was missing when he didn't show up at home
that night, and after she called the police, Anthony's car and his body were found immediately.
But finally, after all those years, a piece of hard evidence was created that linked Electus
Perdaeus to a murder.
When the Rue took almost $1,000 out of Anthony's account at a local gas station ATM, a CCTV
caught him on camera.
That however brought the police no closer to actually finding Electus Perdeus because
the CCTV footage wasn't clear enough for a full identification.
And so, celebrating a win after three goose eggs, Electus Perdeus immediately began searching
for another target.
But the win was just a thousand dollars.
Yeah, no, it's not good.
I mean, compared to forty bucks and change.
Yeah.
It's not bad.
It's still nothing.
It's still not worth a human life.
That's at least 25k.
I was going to say 12k, so...
But you know, you pay me.
Life from your grave.
Well, after finding an insurance agent named Kevin McAlpine, LaRue, using the stupid alias of Ruan Schuman, again, made an appointment at the same shopping center, then again changed
the location at the last minute to his mother's apartment.
Kevin McAlpine's murder went down pretty much the same as Anthony Scholenfield's, but
this time, after bringing the body down to the victim's car, they drove it to a BAD
part of town to hopefully guarantee a theft.
But after Miranda made two ATM withdrawals for
$75 each because these withdrawal amounts from the ATMs in South Africa
are fucking into oh you know what it is it's the exchange rate so they're taking
out like 4,000 Rand yes yeah it's a dumbest fucking name for a currency I've
ever heard what are you talking about? Amongst you, our best, most powerful
fighter for liberty in our country or? Rand. Paul.
Everyone's favorite. Miss him, huh? You know, I almost forgot about him. Yeah, is that funny? But after Marinda made two ATM withdrawals for 75 bucks each, Kevin's wife shut off the car because
she too immediately knew that something was wrong. The slightly revised plan of parking the car in a bad neighborhood didn't work either,
because shortly after Kevin McAlpine's wife called the police, they found his car and
his dead body.
It seems like the pace of murder for Electus Perdeus didn't really change depending on
how successful a score was.
If the score was good, they were excited to try it again.
If it was bad, then they needed to do it again as quickly as possible to make up for the loss. But either way, Cecilia
made sure to pressure her people as much as she could to commit more murder. Possibly
because she was, as I said earlier, ramping up like many serial killers do before they
get arrested. Or, this is also an option, because she didn't want her people to have
time to think about what they were actually fucking doing
Yes, I think that they had a lot to do with that
I think it had a lot like also watch now because remember where all this started this started with a bunch of people
believing the
literal physical power of Jesus Christ that could change other people's lives and then what and it went from this truly lofty war against
satanic forces. And now we are actually just killing people for money now.
Now we went from any form of messianic version of crime to full on just murder
for cash. And it is amazing how quickly that's that slope goes and how fast you
can go.
And all of a sudden now you're just murdering for hundreds of dollars at a time, which is
far less than we pay our wonderful private contractors at BlackRock.
Which is just, they could be doing so much better.
Well, and that's the thing is that it's not just murdering people for hundreds of dollars
at a time, it's murdering people and thinking that there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
That what you're doing is justified.
It just shows that it's a really good example of that.
I feel like the allegory of the frog in the water is so overused, but it's just the fucking truth.
It's overused because it happens all the time.
You just get so used to a way of thinking that it doesn't really matter.
Also the meth gets you a little willy-nilly.
But then I had some readjustment.
We were saying that the meth was way overboard.
Then I saw some people saying that for a group of that big,
$400 a week is kind of more normal.
I mean, well, it's for people.
I don't think Marcel was doing meth.
No, not as much.
You know, I don't think they were doing as much meth.
I don't know how much meth LaRue was doing.
I think it was Zach and Cecilia and possibly Miranda that were doing the majority of the
meth.
Yes, it does seem like that.
And now I'm sure you'll get to this, but where the fuck is Ria?
Oh, she's gone.
Oh, she, yeah.
Ria Ria has disappeared.
Ria moved to a new town, changed her name and she'll she's around though.
Okay. But just four days after the murder
of Kevin McAlpine, Electis Perdeus, who were basically a murderous criminal gang at this point,
they made an appointment with a real estate agent this time. Woman named Hanley Latigan,
after seeing her in a Remax ad. For some reason, Miranda assumed that real estate agents had cash
on hand, more at least than financial
advisors.
That's so, that's the dumbest shit possible.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
Like, did they think that people were paying real estate agents cash for homes?
Yes.
It's cause, what it also shows, if you're going to run a disastrous cult, I mean this,
and this is to all of us now that are now in the midst of it, is that you should do
some reading about how to operate your cult a little bit. I mean like you gotta figure it out
You got to do some kind of due diligence. Yeah, you want cash to go to like blackjack dealers got cash
Dealers yeah, but the blackjack dealer only got cash when he's at work. Well, they go home with tips
Also, I feel like what they were doing to be honest
It is these are the higher
echelon people that I think they also thought that they could get pretty easily.
Yeah, that's true.
Because real estate agents work on their own and you can call them and single them out
very easily.
No, yeah, that was the whole point.
Yes.
Yeah, I mean, because at the end of the day, if they're just killing people, they'd get
more money from a fucking waiter.
Yes.
No.
Waiters make good cash.
Waiters make great cash.
That's what I mean. Like a waiter might go
home with like... Sex workers, drug dealers, people that work in the black market, people
that are outside of the system. That's why serial killers, that's why really good serial
killers do that. They murder people that aren't connected to the system because then they
take their money. This is a person that was really high up on themselves. Yeah. Well,
because Marinda assumed that real estate agents have more cash than
financial advisors, she made an appointment where Hanley was set to pick
her up across the street from Cosano Apartments. Meanwhile, Marcel was
actually doing her best to try to escape the cult. While preparations for the
murder of Hanley Latigan were being made, Marcel was informed that she'd been admitted to study medicine at the University of Pretoria.
Oh god, and she's still doing college admissions!
Yeah!
She's murdering people and still filling out essays and doing all of this shit.
I'll push back on that. Marcel never murdered anyone.
Because she was just around. She was just watched. She just got traumatized.
Yes, over and over again. But instead of being happy for her daughter. Marinda was incensed by the news
She told Marcel that she should just kill her like she'd killed Michaela for even thinking about abandoning electus per deus and more importantly
Abandoning Cecilia man. I'm so afraid of my mom. I can't imagine having value had to watch my mother you mentioned Linda
Systematically killing just people just being like oh, you mentioned Linda, systematically killing just people,
just being like, oh, you don't think I won't kill you?
I could just see her being like, oh, the quilt murders.
Oh my God, I could see her wiping out her quilt group.
How dare you want us to move us in a modern direction?
The country can't live forever.
So Marcel-
Oh, my choky chok, I just made it as a mate.
I got it from Vera Bradley.
So Marcel resigned herself to tacitly participating in yet another murder.
This time, however, their quarry got clever before she got killed.
After she was lured into apartment 17 and told to transfer money to Marinda at gunpoint,
Hanley instead transferred a large sum of money to her husband.
This triggered an alert on her husband's phone, and after he called her in a panic
and got no answer, he cancelled her bank cards.
This time, however, CCTV managed to capture a second member of Electis Perdeus.
Marcel was able to withdraw $172 from Hanley's account and an ATM before all her cards were
cancelled.
But after that, police had two suspects in what were now being called the appointment
murders.
But with Hanley, the crew tried a different plan in disposing of the body.
After stuffing the corpse into a trash can for transport, because I suppose they were
worried about neighbors seeing them carry a third body-shaped bag out of apartment 17.
No one has seemed to give a fucking shit in this entire apartment complex.
This is happening in an apartment complex!
They chose Miranda's car for disposal.
See, Hanley's car was covered in remax stickers, which would make it even easier to find in
the rest.
So, Hanley's body was wrapped in a red blanket and propped up in Marinda's seat to make it look like she was sleeping
They then drove out of town past the sewage treatment facility which South Africans disgustingly call those sewage farms
This is why I think there might be a misunderstanding about what a water park is
But after finding a remote spot the cult dragged Hanley's body behind some bushes
and just left it there.
Then they drove back to Kruger's Dorp, throwing Hanley's possessions out the car window on
the way back.
The one thing the cult didn't think about was that if they didn't use Hanley's car
for disposal, then her very identifiable car would instead sit across the street from the
very location where she'd been murdered.
But when police came out to investigate, Cecilia arrogantly went out to chat with them about
Hanley's disappearance under the auspices of being a concerned citizen.
Again, like a serial killer, Cecilia enjoyed talking with the police about her crimes.
Hanley's body, meanwhile, was found the next morning by a bunch of kids on their way to
school.
But still, no one was looking at Cecilia staying for any of these murders
She was nowhere near connected to it technically and she soon decided to start work on another insurance scheme
This time the victim would be LaRue and Marcel's estranged father who had just begun to reconnect with his children
He was taking he was taking him out on like fishing trips and shit
Yeah
Doing the divorced dad stuff
No, you go to like the roller skating rink and you go to you do all the things he never did before and all of
Sudden now your dad's be nice and fun. He never was before so how's the church going?
Quite well, oh daddy. I've not seen you in so long
But before that murder came to pass, Electus Perdeus would finally begin to unravel after 11 murders, all because LaRue Stane was not particularly good at crime.
LaRue had used the same name to make appointments with murder victims Anthony Scholarfield and
Kevin McAlpine, in addition to using the same meeting location, which was the first clue that
connected the appointment murders together. Additionally, LaRue had called
to change the location of one of these appointments too early. Anthony
Sholefield had written down the new address of the appointment, Cosano
Apartments, which was the same place that Hanley Latigan's car had been found.
Once police canvassed the complex, they noticed that LaRue and Marcel looked similar to the
people caught on CCTV footage using the ATM cards of appointment murder victims.
The two of them were therefore arrested for murder, kidnapping, and robbery.
And as soon as they were in custody, Cecilia Stain's fabricated world began to quickly fall
apart. While in custody, LaRue cracked almost immediately and confess to all three appointment murders. I think he was ready to talk
Well cuz he also knew that if he didn't if he they all like I do think there's a cynical edge
Oh, yeah, it's weird like we call him the dumb one, but he seems to be the smartest now
Well, you just need to be out
You understand that if I don't say everything that I know right the fuck now
I am gonna be on hook for everything this is how this is why criminal organizations fall apart but that's the thing is that
at this point LaRue is still saying I did everything yes at this point LaRue
is like me and Marcel did it all you got us on camera we did it all yes but
Marcel stayed silent and wouldn't say anything until well into their trial
this would prove to be a huge mistake. Meanwhile,
the DNA test results for Gerard Jackson had finally come back confirming that it was not
Zach Valentine who'd burnt to a crisp in his BMW six months before going off a tip from
Gerard's wife who popped back up.
Police found Zach at the headquarters of a group that organized Bible camps where he
was surviving mostly
on chicken livers. I hope they were fried. Yeah, that sounds good. Yeah. Yeah. But nothing
but chicken livers. It would get, it would sour a meal of chicken livers I enjoy, but
only twice a year. Like Thanksgiving, Christmas, the day after Christmas day. But if chicken
livers are your own, your entire meal, when found, Zach was quickly identified by
his numerous horrendous back tattoos.
In addition to his electus per deus tramp stamp, Zach had a lion's head, a dog paw print, the face of just some guy.
No, that's Ernest.
That's Ernest.
Pee-woah.
Look at him.
He's scared stupid.
Scared stupid.
Well, now he's going to jail.
After he's gone to Africa.
After he's saved the camp.
He also had a demon.
Oh yeah.
And a lot of random words and names in both English and Hebrew.
And he was a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, he's gone to Africa. He also had a demon and a lot of random words and names in both English
and Hebrew under the heading Blessings. Well, I think it was a reminder that I deal with
demons as fight demons. This is a demon menu of demons I've consumed. LaRue, meanwhile, was identified partly by his large back tattoo of a puppet
that was very much in the style of Johan Vasquez, the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac guy.
That is a very of its time tattoo.
Yeah, in true emo style, the word puppet was tattooed above the image
because LaRue said that his strings were being pulled by Cecilia and his mother.
And I did not want anybody to think that the lines were
either smears of saliva or some former 3D thing.
So it's important for you to see it is a puppet.
Without the little joints.
How would you know?
Now once the connection was made between Gerard Jackson and Zach Valentine, a further connection was made between Zach
and the appointment murders and police rightly saw this as weird as fuck. So
police started looking into all the other unsolved murders in Krugerstorp
that had a bit of a twist. In the meantime, the leader of Alexis Perdeus and her number one woman were finally arrested
in connection to insurance fraud related to Zach's supposed death.
And so, on July 29th, 2016, Marinda Stain, 50 years old, and Cecilia Stain, 35.
Yeah, she's 35 and all that.
She looks horrible.
Yeah.
I know.
I know.
God, she looks like a hard 48.
She does.
Yeah.
But they were finally put behind bars.
Once they were in jail, police got an anonymous tip to search the high school where a Miranda
taught English and were quite surprised to find to find 3000 rounds of ammunition and shotgun shells hidden in the home X storage room.
I don't know what to say about that. I know why a part of me think this awesome. You found
out your English teacher was like that. You just be like, damn, holy fucking shit. I guess I should have, we really
should have thought about how close we all were to getting shot in the head. She used
to give the bullets out for extra credit. Very good job.
But before Miranda was arrested, she'd gone to the principal of her school and asked him
to notarize a change in her will after her yeah I
mean your principal ever anyone can be a notary my mom's a notary absolutely but
it means nothing you just stamp something yeah but you got a you know I
don't know how she became a notary but she's definitely a notary. You just pay for it
online you can just fill out the paperwork. I think technically I can be a
notary. Anyone can become a notary. Because I have a pastor's license. Yeah but
you don't need to be a pastor to be a notary. I refuse to be separate. I must be a pastor and notary. You are separate.
Yeah, but you're also only a pastor in New York State because that's where you married
me in Carolina. No, I belong to the Universal Life Church. And that's state, that's countrywide?
Yeah. Yeah, I can marry anybody. I'm in the Universal Life Church. But you have to, every
different state, you have to go apply. You have to go apply. Except for California. Anyone
can get married in California by anybody.
Cool.
Well, after Marinda's kids were charged with murder,
Marinda had modified the document to cut him out
and leave everything to Cecilia.
Cause at this point they're like, all right,
LaRue and Marcel are taking the rap
for the appointment murders, we're cool, we're fine.
We're safe.
But after LaRue was shown the document cutting him out of his mother's will,
he was finally done with Electus Perdeus, saying something along the lines of
Fuck her in regards to his mother. Instead of taking the full rap for himself along with his sister,
he told police about Cecilia and Marinda's involvement in the appointment murders.
about Cecilia and Marinda's involvement in the appointment murders. It's important to remember that if the cult you belong to believes that certain people are expendable,
that means everyone is.
Yep.
So the closer you're in to the inner circle of the little cult that you belong to,
the more likely you are to be on a chopping block at some point.
Yep.
And they are unforgiving about it.
And they're going to grind you up like a bunch of sausage meat.
They really are. Yeah, you've got to be the guy grind you up like a bunch of sausage meat. They really are.
Yeah, you've got to be the guy who just comes to a meeting once a week.
That's the cue.
That's the thing. If you're in the cult, getting ground up and getting thrown to the wolves is not only possible, it is inevitable.
It's coming. It's coming in a big way.
Yes. Well, the last member of the cult to be arrested was John Barnard, who had stupidly taken his own phone with him to every crime scene,
so his location, at all times, was easily determined.
Barnard also very quickly confessed to his part in the appointment murders, but added the murder of Joan and Peter Meyer.
And just to put all this into perspective, the period of time between the murder of the Myers and the murder of Hanley Lattigan?
Six months. Yeah, you know it was over years and then like in a berserker mode like with any other heavy hitter
They just exploded with activity because and again they weren't making enough money
There was still however the matter of what had come to be known as the Satanic murders
That was the first cluster committed by electus per deus and those murders by the way those four murders
That was three months three months back in 2012. Well, it seems the only one who
truly cared about the Satanic murders was a man named Captain Buison who'd
made the connection between Zach Valentine and the rest of Alexis Perdeus.
He had an inkling that the appointment murders and the Satanic murders were all
committed by this same group of idiots.
But when he went to review the documents concerning the murders of Natasha Berger, Joy Boonsayer,
Pastor Regbin Dixon, and Michaela Valentine, he found that all of the police reports had
mysteriously disappeared.
It's speculated by author Jan Marks that three officers, known only as X, Y, and Z
in her book, presumably because she was afraid of naming them, they were a part of a cover-up
for the cult.
As we've said many times before, this all probably stems from the fact that Cecilia
Stain's husband was a cop.
Yeah, I mean, and what we've seen so far, it's just so hard to say that true corruption was not involved
if they don't want people to know that these were not being done by a satanic cult,
but in fact were being done from within.
I think it was down to pure corruption.
But officers X, Y, and Z tried covering their asses by claiming that they'd infiltrated the cult
after the confession tapes made by James or Mock had been rendered unusable somehow. But no paperwork concerning authorization for
undercover work, nor any reports on what they supposedly discovered were ever found.
Yeah, what in the living fuck were the embedded cops doing? Just murdering and being there? Just
hanging out watching fucking the Hulk and watching the Ed Norton Hulk and trying to think who else?
All the other horse shit they just sat and watched in their stinky old apartment in townhouse
all day?
Well, the point is that they were never there.
No.
They had never infiltrated the cult.
They didn't even try.
They literally didn't even try.
No.
They covered it all up and tried to forget about it.
But also the fact that having a, and I actually feel like in many ways it was beneficial for
them to have a satanic cult still running around murdering because then that gave them job security.
That I will say.
I will agree with that.
A South African police official claimed that the offending officers did face disciplinary
action and criminal charges for fraud and obstruction of justice.
There's no evidence of that either.
And even if they did face charges, those charges certainly aren't equal to the crime of covering
up four incredibly
brutal murders. But even so, there was enough evidence to link the satanic murders to the
appointment murders. And Electus Perdeus went on trial for all 11. Now that fucking, in the court
case, in the trial was a fucking circus. Yeah. A huge pain in the ass. I watched a bunch of
coverage of it. It was, it really was, it because you have the problem is that the center of it is Cecilia stain
Who is a fucking attention whore and need to loves it wants it and they're all like this
They're all a bunch of weird little busybody shitheads
Yeah, that really works I need to for have people having people hear them talk because she take the stance
Yeah, yeah, she lied the whole time. Yeah. Oh, yeah fuck you
I'm not changing at all. I find it refreshing because I hate it when Alex Jones busted character
I was like what a fucking weak pussy right? That's a pussy
Yeah, I didn't you fucking gave up the ghost to keep your kids
Like you don't care about your fucking kids like you really don't care like the fact that you busted it
That's why I kind of I almost admire Cecilia staying in her way. She stayed a fucking dumbass bitch the whole time
Now as the state was building its case against electus per deus
They found that most of the people who could have been witnesses were too terrified of Cecilia staying to testify and some refused to even
Speak about her or electus per deus
I mean they killed 11 people. Yeah, they were definitely they believe that they were killing in the to fight Satan
But you know but in the end
Amber du Pree's and James were mock came out of witness protection to help put their former cult away and finally
Rhea Grunewald took the stand to repair some of the damage she'd done by contributing
more than anyone to Cecilia's rise to power.
She could still suck my fucking dick.
Yeah, I mean she was the reason why all this happened.
Miranda meanwhile testified as well, but only to confess.
She recalled all of the murders in great detail, including the satanic murders, and attempted
to take all the blame because Because even after all this,
she was still trying to protect Cecilia.
Marinda and Cecilia spent months
coordinating their testimony
with each other off to the side
to try to put, because then Marinda wanted it.
Like, that's what, in the end,
like, of all of it, like,
Cecilia aggravates me and so...
Marinda scared the fuck out of me.
Yeah.
On the stand.
Well, she's a true killer.
That's a fucking psychopath, that woman.
And the fact that she was, when she's all that, like, taking it all, just being like,
I did everything.
It was all me.
It's a full psychopath who posed as an English teacher for...
She was, when she joined Electus Perdeus, she was like 45.
Yeah. Like, 40, like, I I mean she joined in her fucking 40s
Can you imagine that like three years from now joining a fucking cult?
No, not especially not at this kind like this is fucking insane. Yes
I mean just shows you what normal people are fucking capable of
Because even the some of the Manson girls were kind of hot.
Yeah, of course.
I remember in college when that chick tried to get you in a cult, she was hot.
Shelby was really very attractive.
No.
She almost got me, man.
That was a welcoming area.
She had a whole seat put out for me.
She was so hot and showed there.
I was just so I was so hungover that I was late for church.
That's the only reason why they didn't get me.
It's like, why is this church at a La Quinta?
Yeah, it was very... But then I also wonder how comforting would it have been? I would
have received my wife, I would have received my... Because years later, it took years for
the CIA to give us all the stuff. I could have chose God earlier.
Now, that actually happened to me once in
college as well. This cute girl like invited me to a meeting. That's what happened. And I,
but that's the thing is that I kind of knew my name when I arrived. I had a feeling that it was
going to be like bad. So I had my buddy Nick like call me. It was like call me 30 minutes after I
get there and as a way out. And if I say like, Oh no, the station's gone off air.
Like his radio station used to always go off the air. Then, um,
it was ready for me to come to run. Or if I would say like, Oh, okay.
Everything's cool by, and uh, yeah, I immediately like, Oh fuck man. And he,
I've never heard someone cackle so hard on the other end of the phone because he
was the one who came up with the plan. He was like, he's like, dude,
I'm telling you, man, you're're gonna get caught in a fucking Christian trap
You don't understand that that's what's happening. You're just thinking about boobies
Yeah, yeah, and I completely ignored the conversation
I had with the girl a couple of days earlier about how God had to exist because the human eye is too complex
We'll say anything
That's a penis listening. Back in Tallahassee, I went to the Church of Hooters.
Yes, so you did. I remember that church. It was wonderful. Those priests were great.
But Cecilia, when she took the stand, all she would say is, I don't know anything. I
wasn't there. And I don't there and I don't remember.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
She said your favorite song.
It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
Yeah, like, oh, she did.
She just said it, but very seriously.
Yeah.
Now, Zach Valentine likewise denied that he was involved and Marcel said nothing until
the week before closing arguments.
But near the end of the trial, Marcel admitted that she was present for many of the murders
and had technically helped with body disposal, but had done so only because she was rightfully
terrified that her mother would actually murder her if she didn't.
The judge, however, offered no leniency.
While most of the rest of Electis Perdeus got what they
deserved, the judge ruled that Marcel voluntarily associated herself with the group even though she
was only 14 years old when the murders began. As a result, she received seven life sentences
plus 144 years. Should trade harder to get out. I don't think think I mean she was 14. Yeah. No. Yeah run. He's got to run for the hills. She stabs stab one of them, right?
Yeah, she had one. She had to well she tried to and but the knife didn't ever actually go in
Yeah, and then her mom had to do it for anyway. Yeah
It's like me when I have whenever I had a science fair. I don't blame mom's gonna come a scientist this weekend
I don't blame mom. Oh, mom's going to become a scientist this weekend.
I don't blame Marcel at all.
Oh, don't blame her.
I don't blame her.
It's not a blame.
It's just, you know.
Yeah, getting out, I don't think was really, I don't know if that was really an option
for her.
No, probably not.
Yeah.
And I think that they were kind of embarrassed by how long it took them to figure this out.
Oh, they better.
And they just threw the book at everybody.
As they should have.
Well, they threw the book at everybody except LaRue.
Because he actively participated with the state.
He's the only one that had enough cigarettes to be in prison.
I mean, everyone else got pretty much the same as Marcel, Cecilia, Miranda, John.
They all got multiple life sentences.
But LaRue, because he turned state's witness, only got 25 years.
And that's after he voluntarily and enthusiastically murdered four people with his choky choky.
He got about six years per murder.
Do you think that he can sleep now in jail without his choky choky or do you think he
made like a little one that he can sleep with?
It's hard to get rope in prison.
It is.
The only ropes are made by us.
And our penis says, when we jug off in each other, it makes we love.
Oh, you're talking about shooting ropes.
Yeah, me can't.
He took about me can't.
But even though everyone in Electus Perdeus, except LaRue, will be in prison until the
day they die, Captain Bullyson believes that there are more murders connected to the cult.
I absolutely more than believe that there are more murders connected to the cult.
At least two unsolved murders can credibly be connected to Electus Perdeus, and that's
not even counting the story of Morin Harmsa. See, in September of 2008,
six years before Electus Perdeus
began murdering their fellow Christians,
18-year-old Morin Harmsa murdered a friend
and injured four others with a samurai sword
at his high school in Krugerstorp.
He did all of this wearing a mask
that resembled the one worn by Corey Taylor,
lead singer of Slipknot.
You know, the most evil of the... they are just pure evil.
They're definitely not a band.
I hate that I hear the lead singer's name now.
I love Corey Taylor.
He's very talented.
I love Slipknot.
Yeah, me too.
I fucking adore Slipknot.
And that's the thing is that like Slipknot, they were easy to blame.
The song on iWeb, the heretic anthem, you know, fucking, if you're 555 them 666.
Yeah, it's cool.
Love that song, it's great.
It's awesome.
Yeah.
But as far as how wrong these people got it,
I mean, I'll stand by heretic anthem as a positive outlet for adolescent rage.
You would tell kids like me way back when that feeling isolated and different
was a totally normal feeling to have.
It's new metal at its best.
Absolutely.
I thought I looked like one of the members of Slipknot
because of my problems, my self-esteem problems. Did you look like the big fat clown? Yeah.
That was the one. You can tell by his tears. They're so thick. My tears are so big. How
do I make my sorrow thinner? But I mean that's why I I love slipknot.
They were the fuck you to corns fuck me.
I love slipknot.
It paired nicely with System of a Down's more learned fuck the system.
System of a Down's good.
And Limp Bizkit's ultimately unhelpful message of fuck everything.
But yeah, System of a Down and slipknot, two best new metal bands out there, Korn, close
third.
I love Korn.
Yeah.
Jesus.
Have you ever seen the original, have you ever listened to the original Korn?
When I was younger, I loved Korn and I had the Marilyn Manson CDs.
I did not fall into the Slipknot era.
But System, I'm always down with System.
They're great.
But the boy with the sword, Morin Hormsa, he did claim that slipknot made him do it.
He said that when he listened to their music, he lost control of his body and his mind,
and therefore he had to take a samurai sword and stab five people.
Well, yeah, that's why I robbed that bank that one time as Michael Buble.
He did it to me.
That's why I got that public masturbation charge, because I listened to Stroken by Clarence Carter.
Yeah, that one's so hard, and I'm just, I'll be stroken.
To the east and to the west.
Now, likewise, when police searched his room, they found the standard Ouija boards and so-called
Satanic spellbooks, which of course made this a Satanic murder.
Slap it.
That was their big thing.
This is a Satanic murder.
But what police didn't know at the time was that just before Moran Harmsa went on his stabbing spree,
he was receiving so-called spiritual counseling from Cecilia Stann.
Presumably by way of the overcomers through Christ.
Cecilia's about two years into the overcomers at this point.
And if you listen to the Devil's Dwarf documentary, I found it a little bit hard to follow, but the ending also very hard to follow. The ending really illustrates
that there were several other crimes that you could definitely tie to this crew. Like there is
absolutely, there was another person that went missing that was a part of overcomers through
Christ. There was another child that went missing. They've done, there's stuff that they did that did not come out.
Yeah.
And so, while we don't know for sure that Cecilia Stain talked Mourn into his attempted
killing spree, I don't think it's a coincidence that wherever Cecilia went, murder followed.
But it's important to note that murder only became an option after Cecilia's insane narrative was accepted and
amplified by a group of fundamentalist Christians who so desperately wanted the myth of murderous
satanic cults to be real that they accidentally created one themselves. Be careful what you
pretend to be because we are what we pretend to be. Good Vonnegut. It's very true and we are what we pretend to be could found again
It's very true and we are it's important now to even think about how in South Africa the occult crimes unit
There were the that is still around really goes in and out of activity one time. It was there was definitely during the
Judgment so there's no jury system in South Africa
So it's all done by judge and And the judge, who was interesting, was a black man, and he was trying to say that Satanism
is now no longer illegal in South Africa.
But in his judgment, he labeled Electus Perdius a satanic cult because of their activities.
So what they did, instead of owning up to this and the South African public saying, what
if there isn't a giant cabal of satanic cults that are ruining everything and maybe we're
just looking for them and applying that thought to everything.
Instead of that lesson getting learned, they were just called a satanic cult.
So then it just became solidified.
And then that line of thought continued on for a long time.
And one of the things, I mean, it's still-
It's continued on for a long time.
This is eight years ago.
It's keep going.
It just continues to go.
But one of the main things that's hard
is that the occult crimes unit is basically back
as a way of working against these things
called the Muti, Mutilations and Muti Murders,
where it's a rural, very rare, I guess,
witchcraft activity, which involves the torture
of young kids for various ritual purposes,
which some shamans around the area say is relatively rare,
but enough has happened that it has kicked up
that occult crimes unit again.
So they're still working on this thing
in terms of occult related crimes.
And it's gone so far that it looks like old
Donker Yonker might have sold the television show
It is a new South African version of true detective where they're gonna go back and talk about all this
So now they're making money on it saying that it's real and it's just important for us to see what happens
when the government of a country decides
when the government of a country decides that this stuff is real and how it does trickle down. Like the way this trickled down was that straight up 11 people got murdered that should not have gotten murdered.
Because they were so up their own ass looking for shit that was not there.
Or just not caring because they've already decided that this is some...
This is like, God knows, some kind of fact of life.
That satanic cults rule the world and we have to fight them.
I would say they're more of a meth cult.
They are! They were...
But again, remember, they weren't satanic. They were Christian.
And they were doing it for a Christian purpose.
They were fundamentalist Christians. All of them except for Cecilia.
And all of the satanic based crimes
seem to only happen as a result of
having an occult crimes division.
And because it's the state
viewed God as real.
Which is extremely bad for people.
Because God's not real
in that way.
But God can exist as a way
to help you. But that's really as far as it should go.
Yeah, you know, shouldn't be used as a way to justify murder or fucking with anybody
else's life.
Yeah, but God's been so many people have been killed in the name of God.
Oh, very much so.
I know.
That's what I mean.
It shouldn't have happened.
It shouldn't be.
Hey, because it seems like the main guy that they all like used to be a hippie.
But what do I know?
I nailed him a fucking stick? Yeah?
Murdered him murdered him so Cougars are part for
Over and done with we did it we are moving into a lot of a lot of shit, dude
We're doing the last thing we're doing is slowing down. Yeah, you for fuck's certain

I'm gonna say this like I've always said this in every single time of strife
Which is you're gonna have to pull microphone for my cold dead hands. We have done this through a fucking plague
We've done these the worst parts of our lives
We're gonna continue to do the show at our utmost ability for as long as possible any hints on next week. It's gonna get weird
