URGENT UPDATE: READ THIS AND ACT NOW

The following information relates to not only America, but all other countries including Australia.

On October 14, Lord Christopher Monckton gave a presentation in St. Paul, MN on the subject of global warming.  In this 4-minute excerpt from his speech, he issues a dire warning to all Americans regarding the United Nations Climate Change Treaty that is scheduled to be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009. 

A draft of the treaty can be read here:

Chuck Norris has an article in WorldNetDaily with a good analysis of the treaty:

Listen to an interview with Alan Jones on Australian radio.

There has been considerable debate raised about Monckton's conclusion that the Copenhagen Treaty would cede US sovereignty.  His comments appear to be based upon his interpretation of the The Supremacy Clause in the US Constitution (Article VI, paragraph 2).  This clause establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and U.S. TREATIES as the supreme law of the land.  Concerns have been raised in the past that a particularly ambitious treaty may supersede the US Constitution.  In the 1950s, a constitutional amendment, known as the Bricker Amendment, was proposed in response to such fears, but it failed to pass.  You can read more about the Bricker Amendment in a 1953 Time Magazine article:

Lord Monckton served as a policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher.  He has repeatedly challenged Al Gore to a debate to which Gore has refused.  Monckton sued to stop Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" from being shown in British schools due to its inaccuracies.  The judge found in-favor of Monckton, ordering 9 serious errors in the film to be corrected.  Lord Monckton travels internationally in an attempt to educate the public about the myth of global warming.

Read This First (Disclaimer)

Both Cults & Isms are listed here.  Not every group mentioned on this site is considered a destructive cult.  Some are 'benign isms' — different but not emotionally or socially destructive.

Even cults vary in their degree of destructiveness.  The information about benign groups is provided because we have received more than five inquiries about those groups.

There is bound to be information you will not agree with, however it is our conviction that the public should have access to alternative information before deciding whether to participate in any particular group.  If they want to know what your group teaches they can ask you directly.

Why provide information about cults?

A goldfish living in a bowl that is painted black on the outside will never know it lives in a bowl unless someone takes it out and shows it the rest of the world.  Mindsets can be like that — locked into a `thinking box', unable to see outside because the web of beliefs is so all-encompassing

How can this happen to people like you and me?

Have you ever bought an outfit that didn't fit properly because the sales person convinced you it looked nice?  Ever have someone talk you into having another drink when you didn't want one?  Ever run into a clever con-artist who had a good line?  Ever sign a contract you didn't really want to sign?  Getting involved with a cultic group can be as easy as that.  (If you still think it can't happen to you take our test in the General Information section. [grin] )

In the USA alone there are an estimated 5,000 cults actively recruiting people of all ages, from all walks of life, at the rate of tens of thousands of new recruits every year.  Australia is not far behind.  Like most other countries, we tend to import them as soon as they develop.

We hope this site will help you to learn how to establish criteria for defining a cult, how to recognize cultic and spiritually abusive behaviors, and how to guard against unwanted psychological persuasion — the techniques used by cults and spiritually abusive groups to recruit and retain their members (as well as unethical salespeople).
