Franklin Albert Jones, or is it Bubba Free John? His cult, the Johannine Daist Communion, or is the Laghing Man Institue, whatever, they have many more names. The news about this cult rocked San Francisco in 1985. Little was known of their antics until a lawsuit came out. Sex, drugs, and alcohol were just a small part of this Eastern mixed Lutheran religious vegetarian cult. Yup, none of it makes sense. Enjoy Michael

Cult of Politics. Can the BITE Model be applied to analyzing politics. Behavior control, Information control, Thought control, Emotional control. It is a stretch. I take a look at how people are so controlled by politics in their life and wonder if they might just be in a cult. The world is divided by negative emotions and the leaders of political parties are using that to control the people. Enjoy Michael

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
