Get A Life Ep.139 The Truth about Rapid Relief Team (RRT)

What if a secretive cult used a disaster relief charity to dodge taxes and launder its image? This investigation exposes how the PBCC created the RRT to secure tax breaks, win government grants, and hide abuse—backed by leaks, records, and insider evidence, this is the story the RRT doesn’t want you to hear.Chapter 1 00:00:47:04The RRT claimed to donate 16,000 food boxes after the La Soufrière eruption—but over 90% were paid for by the governments of Saint Vincent and Canada, exposing the PBCC’s pattern of exaggeration and deception.Chapter 2 00:08:23:01To avoid losing tax-exempt status, the PBCC copied Scientology’s playbook—rebranding, lobbying, and launching a flashy disaster relief charity to fake public benefit and keep government subsidies.Chapter 3 00:26:07:11When questioned by the UK Parliament in 2012, Garth Christie and Bruce Hazell failed to provide any genuine examples of public charity, instead offering a handful of staged events and misleading anecdotes stretching back to the 19th century.Chapter 4 00:45:22:13The Exclusive Brethren rejects charity not out of neglect, but by doctrine. Since J. N. Darby, its leaders have taught that the outside world is evil and unworthy of compassion—banning philanthropy as a matter of principle, not oversight.Chapter 5 00:59:27:22The PBCC directs nearly all its charitable donations back into its own internal network of trusts and businesses, leveraging just under 2% for public-facing projects to qualify for government tax rebates. Chapter 6 01:19:53:11From photobombing public health ceremonies to branding burger buns, the RRT prioritizes publicity over substance, sometimes taking full credit for donations made by governments or third parties..Chapter 7 01:38:13:12The RRT is the PBCC’s “pretty girlfriend” in a bait-and-switch—partnering with trusted charities to hide the cult’s abusive history. By hijacking goodwill, they rebrand charity events to whitewash decades of harm and control.Chapter 8 01:44:03:00The PBCC uses the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) to launder its cult reputation—hiding abuse and control behind staged charity. But as more groups learn the truth, they’re cutting ties—showing that speaking out works.Chapter 9 02:02:36:17The RRT claimed a $1.9M donation after Cyclone Gabrielle—but records show most funding came from taxpayers and another charity. Much of it was spent at PBCC-owned businesses, turning disaster relief into profit.Chapter 10 02:17:56:01The Rapid Relief Team (RRT) looks charitable—but it's a front for the Plymouth Brethren cult’s billion-dollar tax-free empire. Behind the red tents and PR stunts is a scheme draining public funds while offering just enough photo-op charity to stay exempt.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9xby4sx108r4z4uwd0chn/34897-139.mp4?rlkey=eux11qb1uwxvagwuix1r7cu5p&st=0h29fdn9&dl=0Link to articles-RNZ on PBCC National Assistance Fund tax breaks- https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/471553/ex-plymouth-brethren-christian-church-members-call-for-its-charitable-status-to-be-stripped?utm_source=chatgpt.comhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6080541/Charity-promising-100-cent-donations-farmers-caught-spending-half-donations.htmlHow much money the ecosystem makes- https://archive.ph/mMYlvParliament – Hazell and Christie transcript.
