Elizabeth Smart and cults...

Whether you believed that the Seed was a cult or not, the unfolding Elizabeth Smart story is a good refresher course on the dynamics between cult leader/wacko and follower, how it is so easy for young vulnerable teenagers to become brainwashed, and why they begin to fear and shun those on the outside.  

I highly recommend you follow this story so that you can see the parallels and understand how Art Barker manipulated his "followers."

And dig this! The daughter of the woman who was with them, Emanual's common law wife I guess she was, said in an interview that her mother and he had met in a drug rehab. Hmmmmmm! Presumably one near SLC.... HHHMMMMMMmmmmmmm!!
He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion.
James Burgh 1774
