- Bonus 4 minutes: Watch Yoel Levy Expose the Lev Tahor Mastermind: • Cult Mastermind of Lev...
You may have met Mendy Levy. Watch his brother, Yoel Levy, recount his dramatic escape after 3 suspicious deaths surprised the Lev Tahor cult.
Over the course of one year, in a community of three hundred, three people died. Each death was easily avoidable and markedly suspicious, all were related to Yoel.
A new 35 minute documentary shares the story of a 20 year old survivor of the Lev Tahor cult’s suspenseful escape from their Guatemalan compound.
The film, produced by several members of the Hasidic community who are trying to expose the abuse and help people trapped inside Lev Tahor,
follows Yoel Levy as he meets fellow cult survivor Rabbi Yaniv Assis for the first time in 10 years.
Rabbi Assis is a respected educator and Torah scholar who spent time with the cult when they were based in a small town in Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains. Yoel Levy was born and raised in Ste Agathe, Quebec to parents who were members of Lev Tahor, a semi-secluded Jewish cult with members of its leadership sitting in prison for kidnapping, child abuse, and child sexual exploitation. They both allowed a film crew to document their reunion, where they tried to piece together the twisted Lev Tahor puzzle.
Using newly leaked documents, photos, and videos, the documentary details the cult’s dramatic midnight flight from Quebec as authorities were closing in to rescue 14 children, and their travels to several locations, each more contained and enclosed than the previous, tightening the noose around members’ families with stricter rules and regiments.
Once inside their own remote Guatemalan compound, kept inside with barb wire and armed guards, three easily avoidable deaths took place, including the tragic passing of Yoel’s father.
Facing constant abuse, punishment, and hunger, Yoel made a dramatic exit following an engagement to a girl he had never met. He was the first escapee from the compound. His brother Mendy followed, and numerous others have since managed to leave, some (like Yoel) dropping their Jewish observance, while others (like Yaniv) opting to grow in their religious beliefs.
Following the incarceration of four members of Lev Tahor’s administration, including their current leader Nachman Helbrans, more members have left the cult. Providing them with food, travel expenses, and lodging in safe homes with religious families is a group of people who call themselves “Lev Tahor survivors.” They operate a website, www.levtahorsu... and a phone line those committed to escaping the cult can call (the number is +1-725-226-3636).
“The goal of this documentary is to create awareness about the destruction of lives taking place inside Lev Tahor,” said Meyer*, a member of Lev Tahor Survivors. “We need your help in spreading the video and the information contained inside it to anyone who may be supporting the cult. We are working on several more short documentaries and are preparing to release incriminating documents from a hard drive smuggled out of the compound. We will not stop until the abuse ends and members are in control of their own lives.”
More information, how you can help, and further films exposing the cult can be found at www.levtahorsu...

בסרט תיעודי חדש משתף, יואל לוי, בן ה-20, ניצול כת 'לב טהור', את רגעי הבריחה מהכת בגואטמלה. הסרט, שהופק על ידי אנשים טובים שמנסים לחשוף את ההתעללות ולסייע לאלה שנלכדו בתוך לב טהור להיחלץ מציפורניה. יואל לוי פוגש את חברו לשעבר מהכת, הרב יניב עסיס לראשונה מזה 10 שנים. שניהם אפשרו לצוותי צילום לתעד את המפגש המחודש שלהם, שם ניסו להבין את המוח המעוות של לב טהור.
הרב עסיס הינו מחנך, איש תורני מוערך ששהה זמן רב עם הכת, כאשר זו חנתה בקוויבק בקנדה, אז תחת ניהולו של המנהיג והמייסד שלמה ארז הלברנץ ז"ל. יואל לוי, נולד בקוויבק להורים שהיו חברים ב'לב טהור', אביו כבר איננו בין החיים וטמון ביער שבו שוכנת הכת בגואטמלה. בגיל 16.5, אחרי שנות סבל וכאב, הוא אזר אומץ ותושיה והיה הנמלט הראשון מהמתחם. אחיו הצעיר מנדי הלך בעקבותיו, ורבים אחרים הצליחו מאז לערוק ולהתחיל חיים חדשים במקומות אחרים.
I remember seeing Mendy’s story a few months ago and it broke my heart. I’m so happy you guys have each other because no one else will ever truly understand what happened in your house other than your siblings. As long as you hold each other close you will never be alone. Praying that your family is reunited in happiness 💛
@est95 Good point. I hope the rest of the siblings can reunite with them, or hopefully they have already been reunited.
As a Muslim I would love to see the same thing but for terrorist camps I can’t imagine every child sees what their parents are doing as acceptable
If they know nothing else, they accept the thing before, regardless of what it is. All kids begin to rebel in some way during adolescence. Perhaps only then they will no longer merely “accept” those things, and begin deciding for themselves. True?
@@polferiferus1938 yeah it’s unfortunate because I think those kids either fall for it and become weapons or they don’t and then are still stuck there because of their parents choices and their countries unwillingness to take the risk . I feel so bad for all of those kids .
They completely forget the different between extremist and orthodox
Same thing happens in Christian cults too
@@vevohitz8339 sure does
When he said,my little brother called me dad that put a lump in my throat! Brave young man,I wish him all the best in life.
yes same here! I am crying in my heart.. but crying doesnt help.. I want to help. I am disgusted how they killed his dad
I knew they are bad but what you described is crimes on a whole different level. You are a a hero, and may Hashem bless with lots of bracha and hatzlach and you should be reunited with the rest of your family soon.
Ik but how do u have so many subs with no vids?
@@MaddyxElla UA-cam removes videos which breach owner rights e.i. illeagally uploading videos which someone else filmed and edited.
I feel for all those still stuck inside the Lev Tahor. I wish Yoel and Levi a happy and good life!
Yoel and Mendy.
Amin !
Are people still in the cult?
@@BayouTheModel of course
@@BayouTheModel yup.
I'm so Impressed with this Young Man's Will.... I mean he knows 4+ languages, has traveled the Globe, escaped a Cult, and was strong enough To Talk About and Expose these Creeps~! Gosh, if only we had More people Like You~!
1million percent agreee
I am a Muslim and I can say that you are a brave and I hope you meet your young brother and the whole family.
Islam is certainly a more vile and destructive religion, thanks for sharing!
no need to mention you're muslim
Why is the fact you are obsessed with Muhammad relevant?

@@S1llyx-shxrkiz How many Yazidi sex slaves do you have?
I was your neighbour when the cult was in Quebec, I lived on Ch. Lendman ( the man of the group used to pray at the beginning of the street that I was on the dead-end street there (was a lake), I remember seeing the women there in COLOURED clothing. I believe that the caretaker of properties name was Maurice). I knew you guys were Jewish, (but that's all I knew at the time). I'm really glad to see that some of the survivors are actually coming out with their stories. I know it's hard to break away, but you're doing it, keep at it you're doing an amazing job.

אני מתנצל, אני מתרגם את זה מאנגלית. הייתי השכנה כשהכת הייתה בקוויבק, גרתי בצ'. לנדמן (הגברים של הקבוצה נהגו להתפלל בתחילת הרחוב שבו הייתי, ברחוב ללא מוצא היה אגם), אני זוכר שראיתי את הנשים שם בלבוש צבעוני פשוט צפות על האגם. אני מאמין ששם המטפל בנכסים (היה מוריס). ידעתי שאתם יהודים, (אבל זה כל מה שידעתי בזמנו). בהיותי נער בעצמי, לא היה לי הרבה מה לעשות.
@private priv Religion should be outlawed as child abuse
@private priv And I say unto you, keep your hocus pocus gibberish bs to yourself.
@private priv cool story
@@VerkingKerng I did a massive snort when I read your comment. 🤣
I find it relentlessly off-putting (as well as utterly bizarre) when people just quote reams of bible passages on youtube, with seemingly zero understanding of what it is to be an actual human being...
I find the people doing the _real_ work of God/the Universe/Goodness/Whatever are always those at the forefront, helping, actively making a difference, not just spouting stuff like an absolute rando.
@private priv no
Yoel is a truly remarkable young man! He grew up only speaking Yiddish, picked up Spanish from a few converts around them & taught himself Hebrew & English. That's amazing! I hope he's continued to have a happy & successful life. If anyone has an update on him, please let me know.
That’s what I thought too. Very gifted boy.
This dude taught himself English like 6 months ago and he speaks better than my mom who has lived in the US for 40 years!
Wow, this guy is an absolutely strong person. I am a survivor of extreme abuse, where it was happening to me in plain sight, where no-one did a thing about it, I was completely isolated in it, and had no-one to help or give me protection also. I KNOW what it means to be this isolated, and how extremely rough it is to escape it. You're reputation and life is completely destroyed and damaged before you even have a chance to form a reputation or life for yourself. When I see fellow survivors like this person, it makes me realize how strong of a person I am too. I couldn't imagine the language buriers, and how these people ensured to isolate their victims so extremely, that they even made sure that they couldn't even speak the same language of the society they were surrounded by to seek help to escape. This guy has a great head on his shoulders. He deserves ONLY the best for the rest of his life.
Me too I feel like I grew up in a cult

I am so sorry you suffered abuse.
Truly sorry......
@@sparksoflife101 I completely understand. It’s the same with me. And when society doesn’t recognize this fact, it’s even harder to escape and get away from it. What I went through to get away from it, is the same thing people go through when they escape that cult Scientology. It’s extremely frightening when there’s zero help and you’re on your own. I don’t think people realize how strong we are as people.
Wow. Absolutely heart breaking. I can't imagine not knowing the words ' I love you '. I wish them well and hopefully he's reunited with his little brother very soon.
I just can't stop crying. For you, your mom, your siblings, and everyone else still trapped.
and fore everyone brainwashed into believing in this satanic garbage called religion
what about those people whom zionist are trapping in open air prisons
Fascinating and extremely sad Documentary.. These child abusers need to be brought to justice ASAP . What a stain this puts yet again on the Decent Jewish Faithful. Israel and Government you need to stop this set of MAD men and women ‘leaders’ immediately and free the Jewish people who they hold hostage and imprisoned and sadly abused ...Absolute DISGRACE IN THE MODERN WORLD 🌍
😢😢😢
Shiezoli has the best content on Lev Tahor. Honestly, there is so little information on Lev Tahor online, Shiezoli is by far the most authoritative source on Lav Tahor, their videos are extremely well made (without the subtitles you wouldn't be able to follow or understand half of what they're saying in their broken english), and it gives you an inside view of the darkest things happening within their walls. They have an amazing collection of footage, letters, and things you just cannot find anywhere else. I rewinded and paused the video a few times so I can read the letters of Helbrans suicide note, etc. I just never saw this info anywhere else (they should honestly open a library just on Lev Tahor). It's just amazing work. Guys, keep it up! And continue raising awareness and spreading this message all over.
This is extremely well made - well done for the film quality never mind the content. He was so brave to escape. He is an amazing young man speaking yiddish, Spanish, English and Hebrew and thank you so much for doing this in English (my language). So strong and wise and sensible. I hope those of the rest of his family who want to leave can leave. They need more publicity otherwise people will keep donating to them. It was the same with the FDLS cult in the US - they used the media with the polygamous wives in old fashioned dresses and lots of cute children to make you think the group was religious and good but in both cases under the surface because of the isolation and strict rules people abuse the power and hurt children. I have no problems with anyone choosing a life to lead with their family however differently from mine in the UK but you must follow both the law of the land (no under age marriage etc) and no physical abuse of children. The other issue I believe some have said Lev Tahor has used is some drugs used against people. The FLDS group (never mind groups like Scientology) also took children from one family and into another (never mind marriage of underage girls and child abuse of boys and girls) - this is pretty awful always because children form bonds with siblings and parents and being removed breaks that attachment and destroys your sense of stability and love.
So glad you are both safe. You are both so very strong. I left home at 16 due to abuse. Work hard and love others, show them the acceptance and watm heart you were denied by your old community leaders.
This is so important to publicize. All to know what’s really going on. So painful to watch.
This was heartbreaking. Yoel and Mendy should be extremely proud of themselves for making it out of that group, I hope Yoel gets custody of Mayer very soon, and better yet, that all their siblings and many more make it out.
I'm so glad this young man and his brother followed their instincts and decided to leave circumstances they were born into. That is truly courageous; leaving the known for the unknown. As someone once said, "leap and the net will appear" (quote attributed to John Burroughs).
I’m not religious at all, but I don’t knock anyone for being religious, only knock people who insist on controlling what someone else believes. And sadly the ones it works best on are young unmolded minds.
What I really came to comment on is, what Burroughs is referring to sounds like faith, or “a leap of faith”. I tend to look to see if the metaphorical “net” is already there before I “leap”, just as I look both ways before crossing a street. However, there are many times in life where we must jump into the unknown if we are to grow. Thanks for the thought provocation with that quotation, I appreciate it!
Full respect for having the courage to leave hell on earth ! You are a real inspiration and I can only imagine how much Hashem loves you for being so strong !!!
You and your brother are so brave! As a Jew I am sickened by this cult, Lev Tahor! Jewish people are a community of kind, caring and respectful people who put family first - always. They are a community that love and protect one another while helping each other and others thrive. I’m so sorry for your pain and I hope your future is bright! Someone needs to stop Lev Tahor now!!🥹
No one can be part of a community of kind and respectful people while condoning or committing abuse of others. As long as Israel is trying to commit ethnic cleansing, any Jewish people who don't actively oppose it will be complicit and cannot call themselves a kind person.
@@weareallbornmad410 Israel is for the Jews, the Palestinians have always been jealous of the Jews.
@@weareallbornmad410 okay🤪
No one can call themselves "kind, caring and respectful", may they be Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Atheist or a follower of any other belief, until they see the suffering of Palestine. The suffering of millions of mothers and children who are now homeless, orphans and starve every single day, just because of the madness and ethnic cleansing by Israel. Lev Tahor's people and Palestinians are all going through abuse and pain.
Let's stop Judaism at the same time, and while we're at it, Islam Christianism and every religion that encourage believing in lies told by men that pretend to be connected to the word of a God they invented
Broke my heart knowing that my father was also there and managed to escape
so sorry to hear that.
does your father escape?
Wow motty what a surprise to see you here
@@momolevy hey
Wow this is crazy. אשריך יואל, the fact that you are still wearing a kippah is amazing after what you've been through. Hashem should keep you well
I was thinking the same thing
This is a crazy cult though, Lev T aren’t indicative of Orthodox or Reform Judaism at all, we all know that they are crazy. They were practically banished from Israel and every country they’ve been in!
Lev Tahor in no way represents true Judaism.
He may have wanted to wear it more because of LT not inspite of.
Su
I am heartbroken at the ongoing abuse of these children! And it makes me sick to know those leaders are hiding behind the guise of religion, corrupting any faith for power is disgusting. Thankful to hear this strong young man’s story and hope so much for he and his brother to be happily reunited with the young siblings they were forced to leave behind to escape.
I will never understand why adult people give away to an other human being all their power and freedom. It's a mystery
Saves them the time and trouble of THINKING!
It happens all the time with governments.
US GOVERNMENT DUHHH!
Keep strong. You are amazing that you are still keeping strong although beeing through so much at such a young age.
Totally speechless.
I can’t even imagine people converting to this kind of life 😵😵 I converted to Judaism but not to that kind of life no way ….I believe it is important to share this as much as possible so no one will fall into this anymore ……..
He is such a smart guy! The fact he taught himself English and Hebrew and learned Spanish despite being punished is just so courageous, and amazing.
You are very brave and have been through very terrifying times. Look how bright you are; you speak Hebrew, Yiddish, Spanish and English, most learned by yourself. I pray for those who are still in Lev Tahor and for you, Ha-Shem will look after you and guide you. Maybe this was his mission for you. Try not to lose your faith in Him. You were lied to by the leaders in Lev Tahor but now let Ha-Shem heal your wounds and guide you. He will be with you. You are a Mensch and my Jewish brother. Sei Gesunt!
I don't understand how adults can be so willing to blindly trust narcissists enough to sacrifice their own children.
I to am a survivour. Im 68 live in NZ. I was told to shut up and various other things. My mothrr found out when i was13. I was told again to shut up because my grandfather would kill my father and it would be my fault. I had a misscarriage at 14 and still told to shut up. This boy is strong snd amazing. GOD bless him
I am so sorry...really
I recently met one of their members. He was on my flight from Istanbul to London, he denied most of the things happening there. He told me not to believe in the bias against them. I feel sorry for you Mr yoel, God bless you 🙏
If i were in your shoes i wouldve been arrested!! Because i wouldve put my foot in his..... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@yhwhechad it's not the right thing to do. You must face a person knowing that he's got emotions too, no matter his opinions or intentions. I've faced Muslim extremists too. You took to them you only become smarter 😊
I grew up in a similar world, I can’t stop crying. I’m so happy you had someone waiting for you with open arms on the outside. I’m so sorry you didn’t know what love was but I hope you receive more of it in your life than you know what to do with
It’s always the children that suffer. 😢😢😢
you bet!
When I finished watching this video I had tears in my eyes 😥 and tried to imagine how difficult your life was im so sorry hearing that so many kids are going through such a rough time every minute of your life.
and for you Yoely I must tell you you are a hero keep it up and let’s hope to God that it’s should be many more survivors soon!
Devastating how far human evilness can go 😢
So emotional keep up the great work
I appreciate your insights on such a complex life situation.
May your life be wholesome and peaceful young man.
Yoel, you are amazing. Hashem should protect you and your loved ones, and may you be one day reunited in safety.
I have heard a little about this on the news. I’m so glad he and his brother are out and that he shared this. People need to know about abuse. I pray for him to have peace.
חילול ה'!!!! I'm watching this and physically feel sickened!!!! Amazing soul Yoel!!!
Always know God never lied to you. Humans did. May God heal you. Your love of your brother is beautiful. May God help you to free him of this evil cult.Your strength inspires me.
May God bless and protect the man that's doing an interview he is a great man
How disgusting. Thanks for taking the time to expose these animals.
Omg you guys, dudes...you guys are amazing. Its seriously bananas growing up in a cult and you guys are amazing for getting out. Big hugs from a cult kid in Canada. 😭💖🙌🌿
What makes you a "cult kid"?
As a Christian, l was completely horrified about the conditions and un-Godly rules of the Lev Tahoe cult, also the child abuse and separation from their mother's! Am proud of you and your brother getting out and discovering God is a loving God. My prayer is all your family and friends get out and find God's love too. This cult needs more truthful exposure and be shut down!! All the best for you and your brother. 🦘😊
And the same goes on in Christendom
How sad that he didn't know to say "I love you" to his mother. That's awful.
I couldn't imagine what he has been through in his childhood. Especially when he left his little brother. No kid should experience this!
I watched him talk about this cult before he did another documentary about it a while back that's so sad I'll keep you in my prayers
Wow so emotional
Someone needs to stop them!!!!
They are in North Macedonia now
If you're praying for someone to die then you are in the wrong place my friend. You don't need God's help to live this small mortal life but you'll need his mercy hereafter.
Praying for these brave ones who escaped & speak out, and for all those still trapped
Thank you for being so brave and a warrior and a soldier of truth
So glad you guys were able to escape, I pray for all the children who suffered at the hands of those demons
“They never told us that they love us” :( My heart breaks. Hashem will take care of them.
Thank you both for speaking on this topic
The father raised two brave young men in Yoel and Mendy. I really hope for their mother and young brother to follow them out of the evil cult.
And I pray for them to continue their courageous journey and know they got out from a smaller cult to a bigger and more evil one
We need to pray for all those children to be freed from such monsters
UNBELIEVABLE Why is the USA-CANADA government not shutting down this place
Unfortunately they fled Canada right before the government was closing in on them.
Bless you Yoel Levy. You are so brave and so young. Best wishes for the future.
השם ירחם!
I can't tolerate this. This is unbelievable. I'm giving full credit for this boy and I wish that he should get his mother and the rest of his family out from there ASAP.
So proud of you and your brother. May Hashem bless you many many times over.
Everyone needs to see this!
So proud of you for coming out so strong 🥺🥺🥺
What a strong personality this young man has … after all this trauma.
"They never told us that they love us." Such heartbreaking words...
my heart goes out to all of the victims. ure so amazing for staying strong in ure yiddishkeit despite of what these evil ppl did to u. hashem should bless you with success in everything you do.
Thank the Lord you got out. May all children in Lev Tahor be saved
Wow!! So brave of you to come on and speak up for all those others still trapped! I can't imagine the pain you went through... I wish all those others will have a chance to heal and taste the real sweetness of Judaism, just like you and escape that place!! May you have a beautiful, happy life and reunite with your family in Isreal bekorov!!!
Yup, and thank God that most orthodox jews are not so totally insane!
I am so sorry for all of the trauma you experienced but glad you followed your instinct. Shalom.
There’s so much new info in this that I, as someone who thought I followed this cults story pretty well, never knew. For example hearing Shlomo helbrans mention another son nosson who left the cult
There are definitely many layers and details that constantly emerge... But the one thing that's simple is we need to rescue these kids
You are a very inspirational person. I'm so glad you are free.
@12:50 he says "kol hame'sameach chasan" clearly omitting "kallah". I used to think they're just fanatic to an extreme, but I guess they're not even Jews anymore, that's a new religion entirely.
Thank you for being so brave to talk about this so hopefully they can find and put a stop to this cult. I’m happy to know you and yr brother got out and is learning & living life. I hope you find true happiness.
not to just this cult all cults
@@Hjdgkhddfvyes thank you
Yoel, you are so brave and I admire your courage and commitment to your family. I will pray for your safety, for your family to be reunited, and for those still left in the cult.
U did the right thing. God uses ppl like u with the courage, wisdom & strength 2 make changes & most importantly value TRUTH above all else.
The word Chasidic means kindness something that is devoid in Lev Tahor.
This is not Judaism. So messed up.
@@lilafeldman8630 absolutely 100% correct my friend.
I lived in Brazil when I was a little girl. I remember seeing Shay Femas face. It's interesting when I saw his picture from the newspaper clippings as an adult I recognized him from my past
I have much empathy for this young man. Thank God he escaped the cult of abuse of children and adults. May he help many others to escape. My prayers and blessings go put to you. 🙏❤
I'm giving him full credit that that he came out with full explanation everything was going on there. It's heartbreaking it's so upsetting that's something like thisomething like this is going on and and we cannot stop it. Something definitely has to be done.
This is sick and it’s not religious grounds for them to act like that. They’re literally demons on earth.
You are the best and strongest person I know. I am proud of you and you are a hero. you will get your brother out!! I am sure of it!
corrupt officials that aided in their escape should also be held responsible to the tune of 10X the bribes they accepted. only in this manner will these crimes be judiciously corrected.
This is a shocking story. I'm so glad you escaped. You're a bright young man.
I am so glad you and your brother got out!
All the kids look malnourished, at the first glance. How can anyone go in and just by that not immediately know something is wrong?
I'm glad you had the courage to leave. I hope you doing well!!!
I will pray for their deliverance 🙏 no one deserves to live like that!!!
Hashem loves him. God Bless.
I'm reading through the comments and I just want to cry, so many people have been through so many forms of abuse and neglect. I pray your lives are filled with PURE JOY and you never have to endure such things again in life.
Wow, this kid is so brave and so, so smart. I hope his story, and those of others, help save the people still trapped inside this cult. Especially his little brother -- Yoel would make a great guardian.
I grew up on a remote Native American reservation in the USA. I have been curious and looking into several different types of cultures in my free time. The Jewish people, in particular, remind me of my culture. Not religion, we had no "religion" in the proper term, but the culture of a close community. It appears that Jews may fight eachother a bit, but all in all the infrastructure of your people to survive, not assimilate and not be absorbed into the world around you is commendable. It reminds me of my people as well.
The ability to call bullshit in your own faith, to defend your people even against the extremists of the faith is commendable. It is honestly rarely seen in most other religions, and in my case...rarely seen in my culture.
I ask for prayers for my people if it does not offend your people. My people are decaying, we will not survive, this I know. It's complicated for us to get justice even if our perpetrators are our fellow tribesmen.
@Maiyn ahh!! Your people are my next knowledge inquiry! 😄 Do you mind if I ask a few questions?
@Maiyn yay! So are the aboriginals only one tribe or more? If so, do they speak a traditional tongue or did colonialism wipe it out? 🤔
Were any of you guys sea people?
I heard that the aboriginals are one of the oldest tribal cultures, is that true still? I know that many undocumented tribes in the Amazon have been seen and have asked for help in some ways. Just curious.
What are your origin stories? And did any of the tribes had "religion" or was it misunderstood by colonialism?
@Maiyn so interesting. Is "stolen generation" the same act of "breed them out"? In America, the Spaniards were far worse about that. Steal women for baby farms. Then after the trail of tears, we were forced to.give up our children at 5 years old for forced boarding schools. That wiped out entire tribes, about 150 tribes died in those schools.
The Dawes Act after that, faced a problem with plains natives. Particularly the Pawnee and Comanche. But more so...they needed men to settle there and map the lands. So an Act was passed that if you are "native", you can buy the land for $5. Which would have been nice, but over 98% of that land was sold under the table with fake paperwork. White and black people that we call "$5 indians". After that we were given free healthcare but our women were forcibly sterilized every single time it could happen. That happened up into the 1980s. It's been a long history BS after the revolution. Over 430 of the 500(ish)treaties were broken. Majority were offenses on "our wombs", meaning they tried to destroy our women. Our women are held in high stature in comparison to the rest of the world at the time. American government knows this, and use it to this day.
@Maiyn oh! Do you guys have totems? Or animal totems?
the jews have achieved their self determination after 2000 years of persecution, hopefully your tribes will also make it through.
Please save these people...they are being tortured and abused .

What amazing strength and bravery. And his actions likely caused his brother to also be brave and escape. May they prosper and may their message help save other children.
Dude, you're a hero.
Amazing story, glad you’re safe and happy.
All cults follow a similar pattern.... no matter what their religious bases are.
Yoel I made a comment on your brothers documentation of this as well. What I said there is also for you. While I cannot speak for others I can speak for myself. I stand with you. I will always stand with you and all those like you, like your brother, like myself, those that suffered so greatly at the hands of those that were supposed to show us the true meaning of unconditional love. Peace be with you little brother. Shalom, Namaste, and Blessed be.
In every religion there are those POS that make it look bad. All these survivors are amazing. Bless their strong will.
Religion should be outlawed as child abuse
