The problom with Ben. is the same problem's with chomo hunting channels. The way he goes about these things does nothing to remove them. It often harms the chances of any legal action being taken against these cults. Hes a senario: What if the police WHERE watching the cult. WHERE stakeing the place out WHERE building a case? These youtube clowns may have just walked up and ruined a months long sting operation. Now either the leaders the police where gunning for. Are scared becouse of this infiltration, and will now work in the shadows more. Or the entire operation just skips town. This has happened before, when it comes to internet Vigilantism. Years long police cases have been interfered with by these unknowing clowns who think they know better than cops.

He messed up any chanch of any evidence gathered being legally submittable to a cort. When he rolled up internet vigilate style and likely commited accidental crimes along the way. point 2. If there was a real police sting trying to build a soild case? Ben and his gen Z clowns walked all up in there and ruined it. The leaders the cops may have been watching. They are going to leave and go into hideing. The people he was antagonizing? Low teir members. Nobody's with no real power. Actual meat shields to take the fall for the leaders. By staging this youtube infiltration he gurenteed the leaders involved walked away, and will never be caught. Vigilantism never works. Not to mention he got a bunch of people involved in a potential life threating situation if the leaders wish to retaliate on the freinds he got involved. Congrats.

This cult opened a yellow deli in my city. There was a write up in the paper about their history to try and warn everyone.

They have a restaurant in my town, Chilliwack, BC. when I went to rehab one of my counselors had spent years with them and definitely still had some programming left in her where she couldn't really say much bad about them but she opened up about how she was first brought in, they definitely do beat their kids.

Went to the Yellow Deli here in cali one time, said something about no tomatoes bc I was allergic, and the lady who brought it fixed looked like she was about to cry. I tipped her against her wishes and told her to get out. Read the culty vibes right away and never went back.

Yellow deli restaurants must be like: "Hi, welcome to the yellow deli, would you like your meal with or without the brainwashing?"

They are in Australia too. They have land and a Yellow Deli restaurant. They got I trouble when the cops found baby skeletons on their land. True story. There are news articles on it.

There's one in Winnipeg too! Its been there for years and is pretty well-known in the service industry.

I have known two separate people that have been part of the twelve tribes, independent of each other. One was my family's church's pastors daughter, and another was a freight train rider/vagrant I met in New Orleans. My daughters father also was picked up once (allegedly) in Vermont and went to their compound for dinner. They will often go to live shows and stuff and hang out in parking lots, looking for unsuspecting or vulnerable people to pick up and recruit. Pretty dark stuff.

I lived in Manitou Springs CO for a few years and they reside and run a cafe there. Very weird and uncomfy vibes. Currently there is a father who is fighting to have custody of his daughter back after his ex wife took his daughter away into the cult. It’s really scary. He’s black too which makes his daughter half black and I worry about her safety in that group. They treat kids badly there. I imagine they provide a lot of the economy in that town so I get the feeling they have some power. This cult needs to be taken down.

unless they have video proof of the restaurant owners agreeing to let them all work and video of them working then its just one groups word against another and it will go nowhere, and i highly doubt a cult which exploits its members so they people in charge can get rich would have such silly rules in their LLC, you need a lawyer to create an LLC and no sane lawyer would let it be possible for employees to fire owners and takeover ownership, i bet money there are some legal clauses which make it impossible for them to do what they are trying to do.

you had talked about the yellow deli and it reminded me of a different youtube video. It was about the appalachian trail and i guess the twelve tribes/yellow deli lets people work and stay there for free when they are hiking. Most likely done to recruit people and not just to help out travelers.

I dunno how I feel about this, it doesn’t feel like it’s really helping anyone who has been taken in by the cult, or the children inside it. I also don’t really get why they give their “employees” joint ownership instead of just having them as volunteers, which I’m guessing they will from now on. Nothing illegal about having volunteers.

Not only to tie them down to the establishment but also probably to avoid suspicion? When you recruit someone and say they'll be part owner vs. Recruit someone as just a volunteer there's an air of freedom to the latter than the former and if the volunteer leaves and uses them as a reference of work the workplaces calling may get suspicious as to why a restaurant would have volunteers since places with volunteers are typically understaffed, religious, or charity affiliated. And clearly there's only 1 of the 3 options it could be

Report the police department for choosing personal relationships over keeping the peace.

It’s really disturbing the way these people practically prayed on the hippie culture. They had a bus that they take and follow the Dead on tour, as well as other bands and musicians, and they’d convince people I the parking lots to join them on the bus, where they’d then convince you to give them everything you own, as well yourself. These people are from from being hippies.
