Three stunning court cases have turned the tide in the cult’s long saga of vexatious litigation and SLAPP tactics against their critics. Following the example of Scientology, the exclusive brethren cult’s leaders have pursued a massively expensive undercover operation to harass outspoken former members with spurious and unreasonable court cases. Every congregation globally has been pressured into contributing to a huge legal slush fund, ostensibly to “protect the testimony”. To give the so-called church “credible deniability” these legal cases are always taken by PBCC members personally, or by their businesses – these act as surrogates for the cult to maintain the fiction that the PBCC, as required by law, treats former members in a fair and compassionate manner. In this intensive documentary style podcast we hear eyewitness accounts of the courtroom dramas, and we show you numerous documents and reports that have never been published before. Dennis Wragge describes his dramatic intervention in a Toronto courtroom, where he was unexpectedly given the podium and invited to speak about the cult’s abuse of process. Guy Wilson takes us inside the UK courthouse in Leeds and recounts his interactions with Jed Christie and the infamous Charlotte Harris. We read the brethren’s own lawyers account of the David Wallace kidnapping saga, and the mysterious appearance of a prominent member of the Hales family in a Canadian courtroom in the dead of winter. These recent cases in the UK and Canada have seen the PBCC’s veneer of deniability publicly shredded, as a judge stated in public court that it was the CULT that was directing the “attack-dog” lawyers, and that the actual claimants were just puppets. This bold precedent will make future malicious attacks against PBCC critics all but impossible. A few short years ago, the Hales Money Machine seemed almost invulnerable, using its financial clout to bribe and bully their way to whatever goal they set their greedy eyes upon. What a change we see now! The PBCC is in full retreat on every front - their public credibility destroyed by in-depth media investigations, their reputation now too toxic for politicians to dare to be associated with them, and their once feared lawyers exposed for the grossly overpaid immoral parasites that they really are. The Bruce Hales regime has been on an alcohol and arrogance fueled slippery slope for a while now. Join us on this gripping podcast as we give them all a hefty shove down the hill.
