Inside a Secret Alien Society | Fringes

- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Damanhur is a microsociety and Italian ecovillage in the hills of Northern Italy, founded in 1977, boasting its own language, religion, and currency, with over 600 citizens. They believe their leader, Oberto Airaudi Falco, traveled in time to the lost city of Atlantis and learned ancient healing practices, which they still practice today. Each year, they host their annual birthday celebration, where Damanhurians from all over the world return to Damanhur, decked in white robes, and perform ceremonial rituals.
VICE's Alessia Camoirano Bruges attends the annual celebration, to learn more about a group who have turned their back on society, intending to create their own utopian paradise.

Advanced alien technology uses a lot more hot glue than I would've expected.
They’re crafty
Yes - but since they still haven't had the time to become more advanced than the three millenia old civilization of Atlantis...I guess that's only to be expected. They are still in the process of 'rediscovering' the lost knowledge of Atlantis after all...
Hehehe...I guess we'll have to wait another couple of hundred years or so - before they really start to 'take off' and eclipse this lost knowledge and tech. ;-)
LOL
well i prefer to call them junk but you have the freedom to call it anything you want since there is liberty of expression. Sometimes the worth of an item is different for different people
@@pedromigueldinis That's very true - although an item can have pretty much the same commercial price, literally everywhere. We're stilled attracted to, intrigued by and drawn to different types of items, and are thus more or less willing to pay a certain price for something.
With that said though - those ridiculously high prices that they asked for these, what look like 'spontaneously' hand-crafted necklaces, armbands & ankle-'chains'...but ridiculously overprized by 80-90% for their professed 'medical benefits' (Which, conveniently, no-one but a 'Damanhurian' him-, her-self can really even "possibly ever hope to understand it"....since not many 'even amongst their own' truly 'understands it'!
So...to be hones, IF I had and got 10 times more money than I need - maybe I'ld buy one of those, if I found it nice and artistic. (And not for any unknown and impossible to prove claims).
But unfortunately, I do not...so, neither a trip to see this commune/village - and definitively no 'jewelry' from them!
Just my thoughts.
This journalist deserves an award for containing her laughter
I don't think I would've trusted that craftsmanship to keep that copper monstrosity from falling on me frankly.
@@feelin_finelooks like a sleep paralysis demon
“Having found no cure for my own mental health issues, I’m willing to try anything.” These are the exact people cults like to prey upon.
She's literally channelling demons adding more demons to her life than she has now ONLY The Most High can save us all ONLY He can save our soul 🙏❤️🏴
@@taglaterritruthtella9818 What does Scotland have to do with your imaginary friend in the sky?
Edit: According to your previous comments you think Jews worship Satan. I guess there’s not much logic to be found.
A saude da sua mente depende de ti. Nos nascemos para irradiar luz para toda a vida no universo
@@taglaterritruthtella9818 oh he can? Then why hasn’t he?
Tell me about it. In my teenage hipster years I joined an Eastern religious group with my friend. We left after a few months because the amount of mentally fucked up people there was way too high, plus it had a this cult of personality of the leader. It was the Karma Kagyu group. Good experince tho, definitely part of why I'm an atheist now.
“We promised we wouldn’t call them a cult.”
Video title: *_INSIDE A SECRET ALIEN SOCIETY_*
“Don’t call us a cult”
-every cult ever.
And religion for that part.
except for the cult I'm in (look into UNICULT)
But satanic rituals by the elites who made you watch this video is ok 🙃
The earth itself is deeply occultic
@@mariammimi3563 occult =/= cult… well unless you were making a play on words.
I love how the time machine was "down for repairs". 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's ALWAYS down for repairs... 😁
mcdonalds ice cream machine is selfica technology
We not serving miracle cures right now. The machine is down for, uhhh, "maintenance".
They should have went to Costco.
I was living close to their centre for a while. They have two sides like all cults. They are all very nice and kind and we used their shop a lot because it was having all the organic things that couldn't be found anywhere else in the area. BUT they are also politically controlling at least 10 to 12 towns around their centre. They take a ton of money from their members. They also have members stop contacting their families if they are not agreeing with them.
We even had to help one nice, older Lady to leave. She was from England and really wanted to leave but she was afraid for her life. She didn't trust anyone, not even the most members of our group. Only two of us where helping her and we were acting as her bodyguards being on her side while she was packing up her stuff. Within a few days we drove her to the airport in her own car that she just left with us. She was so desperate to get away from them.
People around there say that it was all founded by occultists in Torino. Looking at the past of Torino this can actually make sense. Long time ago the rulers of Torino tried to lower the popes influence on the region by inviting every cult to live there without having to fear persecution. You can look this up easily.
They claim to be able to heal anything with their copper spirals but their leader Falcao died of cancer. We always thought that's kind of funny. Obviously not that he died of cancer but that they couldn't even heal the leader. Rumours are he really liked the girls in his cult and he also really liked to go for leisure flights with his shiny helicopter.
Don't get me wrong, I like their way of living in little groups and eating all organic and such. But they are also dangerous. When I left there was a lot of fighting in the cult because of the power gap Falcaos death left, not sure how it is today. They probably figured it out
@VICE please investigate this further. There's a lot more going on if this is true!^
Classic cult elements . . . disconnection from former friends and family, intense pressure to remain blindly devoted to the cause or charismatic leader, syrupy thick external positivity masking "group think" dogma requirements, personality assessments from the cult "authorities", "reeducation" camp type tactics to enforce appropriate beliefs and behaviors, and so on.
@@SynthoidSounds Yep. Exactly.
Reminds me of the movie “The Beach” with leo..
Yep
Sounds like a cult. 😣
Thank you for helping that poor lady escape!!!
You did a great service that day. ❤️
it amazes me how people can become so brainwashed..
Isn't it amazing? I look around me and I think, "This just can't be so."
Biden is president. The masses are easily brainwashed
@@websurfer5772 same
How do you know you aren't brainwashed right now? It's easy to speak on the outside looking in with some of these cults, albeit yes they're incredibly gullible, but what "feels" real to you can be fake to the next.
Edit - typed this before watching the video, now after watching these ppl CRAZY!!!! LOL
Information and truth is more a consensus than a true learning through testing. You just need to be open to accept the love and consensus of your peers.
"I am mesmorized by the amount of copper and superglue hovering above me" !!! 😂
They don’t call is “super” for no reason!
🤣🤣🤣
Hot glue probably
The host is trying to keep a straight face, kudos to her. That's professionalism.
I think this is the first time I've seen a VICE Doc (granted, I haven't seen them all) where they start breaking a little. The look on her face with the rock at @20:19 or the look when everyone is singing the anthem at @15:18 is priceless and as professional as she tried to stay, you can see what she thought of it all. Lol
It's called doing a job well enough.
I remember once reading (not the best source citing, I know) that contrary to common belief, cults often recruit highly intelligent and respected members of the community. Doctors, lawyers, the works. It’s this egotistical “I’m to smart for a cult so this is surely not a cult” that cults do in fact use quite ingeniously. It’s similar to the notion of business managers being surprisingly vulnerable to scams. They’re to smart, to successful, wise to ever fall for such a thing; so obviously the offer is the real deal.
All it takes is one trauma, one severe illness to cloud our judgement and leave us vulnerable. The first step to being immune to propaganda is knowing you are not immune to propaganda.
Yes and some of those cults hold power over entire nations. Some even built their own governments! And people give them money every sunday and still think that money is for the poor and the greater good of the community. Unbelievable right? And they have billions of followers!
Amen! Past the rigorous professions and lifestyles of decorum they are still human!
Like this 🌏
The healing scenes remind me of something we would do as 5 year olds while playing pretend scientist 😭
“A little *tippy tap* there.. *beep boop* … pull the lever… sprinkle on some space dust… spin you around 3 times… okay perfect your cancer is gone now 🙏 ”
Cute 😉
I'm dead😩😭🤣🤣🤣
LMFAOOOO 😂
😂😂😭😩 dawg.
I believe that's the point of it. They're investing full belief in what to anyone else would be a placebo in hopes that the placebo will actually do something.
Why is no one talking about how all of their technology looks like it was made by an elementary school student from the 80s.
Because you're the first person to bring it up. Congratulations.
I’m afraid that is way closer to the truth than what they say
I died reading this
I like VICE's journey into my country, Italy.
First the agricultural mafia, then the loonies. Basically 3/4 of our GDP

Too harsh
I would love to see 10 alien believers and 10 Scientologists try each other’s “technology.”
Throw 10 illegal aliens & 10 intergalactic space aliens into the mix and I'll watch it.
you would get a new cult for sure.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@WashingtonPrime lol facts
"alien belivers" lmao. these people are more than alien belivers. i believe in aliens, the universe is fucking huge, it's genuinely insane. we can't be alone in the universe.
these people think they can transcend reality and communicate with aliens with their mind. they think they can time travel. most alien belivers aren't like this bruh.
i hope you're not one of those crazies who think science is a hoax. because it is a scientific fact that the universe is much much larger than we probably expect. there's no way we're alone here.
Man they couldn’t have picked a better person to go check them out because the way she keeps a straight face, I could NEVER
I’m pretty open minded but I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face if they showed me those heaps of copper and glue, you’re telling me these people don’t know ANY decent wire wrapping artists? I find that hard to believe
They must have some pretty decent ones! When they visited where we lived, they brought some copper wrapped jewelry with crystals etc. Very expensive though
The time travel portal was "out of service!" LOL.
Just needs a bit of McDonald's ice cream
I wonder if they tried unplugging it and plugging it back in.
I love watching these episodes about different cults because it's offers a glimpse Into they're world , plus it helps me choose which cult I wanna join 😆😆
Our beliefs all matter let them be peaceful
They are no cult people are lieing about these people Manny things of crystal to heal they do it and are madeto look like a cult for a healthy place to live eat a kind community it doesn't have to be y
Please run from all cults!
I was raised in one.
They are powerfully destructive to human minds, hearts, & Spirits, in my experience.
And, very hard to get out of. 💔
@@tonygunns8439 it's your choice if you wanna be in a cult and if it's working for you, than so be it and I would hope it's working for the others who are there. Cults are not me. But they do interest me to study them thru psychologists point of view.
@@redwoodrebelgirl3010 So sorry for my crude humor in my comment. But I can't imagine myself in a cult. But wow that's awesome you escaped one, but it took a lot of guts to leave that cult, huh? What was the name of the group if you don't mind me asking? And what weird things did they do and make you do in the cult?
I am always shocked and confused how intelligent, socially integrated people go into these cults. I have know two women who joined the Moonies and Children of God. they were very active in university activities, had friends and family who loved them and appreciated them. Yet both disappeared into these cults. Our only knowledge of what happened to them is they worked very hard through letters ( this was 50 years ago) to try to convert the rest of us.
It is interesting . . . a certain percentage of the population has some sort of internal mental switch that gets activated, and they get pulled into the fanatical group think mentality syndrome with the [fill in the blank] cult. Various personality profiles have been theoretically examined to explain this, but in many cases, it's still mostly a mystery.
People want to believe that they personally are capable of understanding the deepest mysteries of the universe . . . without understanding physics or math.
I think some people have a desire to seek an alternative purpose or "reality", and there's nothing more divine than space wizards. It's not that unusual as humanity has been experimenting with religious cults for thousands of years. You can make an argument that we evolved with religion.
Shocked by abuse/torture for a purpose?
ATTENTION!!!!! HELL IS REAL !!! Where will you go when you die? Heaven or Hell? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for our sins. We must repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ if we want to be set free and saved from Hell. MARK 1:15 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Unfortunate that the time machine was "out of operation", because then she could've just stepped through and interviewed Falco himself🤣🤦♂️
This is giving me Midsomar vibe 😆

George Carlin once said that when you are born into this world you get a seat to the Freakshow, but if you are born in America you get a front-row seat, and some of us even have little notepads taking notes.
This is a prime example of that.
LOL
Not much logic in these people.. But I envy them for being this happy and being part of this small but very close society.
Society is lonelier, culture wars, more suicidal, more self obsessed etc etc. These people aren't the 'crazies' anymore, they're perfectly normal now.

My son took his life eight years ago. He was 34 a person who was loved by everyone he came in contact with. He never showed any signs of not being well in the slightest. He loves looking into space and one day he told me he had pictures of mars but he had to sign a contract that he wouldn’t put then on the internet or publicly disclose. He showed me some , and he would say you can do better than that and maybe a couple of days later he would get a few new. Out of no where he thought the tv was talking to him and he thought helicopters were spying on him and just a bunch of stuff that made no sense. He said he said he was told that he killed someone and bury him in his backyard and said mom I would never do something like that.. When I learned a problem, I was out of town and they would take me a day to get home so I told his wife to watch my son until I got there to take my son to talk to someone and he killed his self before I can get there. I don’t understand what the hell happened. All started with his fascination with mars in these photos. I had to accept it happened but it took five years.
I am so deeply sorry for you loss. Sending you so much love and many hugs. ✨ A similar thing happened to me. It turned out i had pernicious anemia, an autoimmune disorder, which meant that I could not absorb vitamin B12 which is essential to life and good mental health. So, essentially my brain was dieing. In the years since I have cured myself and I have done s lot of research which point's to many, if not all poor mental health issues being caused by nutritional deficiencies/ low levels. And that most can be improved or cured by high dose full spectrum nutritional supplements. We are organic beings who need nutrients to thrive and flourish. I am now on my path to try to become s nutritional psychiatrist as I don't want others to suffer like your son an I. I also tried to take my life and fortunately I survived. But I was very close to death. There is a really interesting book called "The Better Brain" by Dr Julia Rucklidge PhD and Dr Bonnie Kaplan PhD which explores this and research on the information mentioned above. ✨💖✨

It sounds like he may have possibly suffered a schizophrenic episode..schizophrenia doesn’t show up on a brain scan and is only diagnosed through behavior making it hard to treat. A lot of people suffer from it and we don’t even know until it’s too late. I’ve worked with schizophrenic patients when they’re not medicated and you’d never believe the places their mind takes them.
This makes you think if other old temples we uncovered was possibly filled with cult like people as well
All religions are cults. They just have more followers.
Interesting thought...!
I live near them so I know this community very well but you must show the dark side of the Damanhur also. The founder Airaudi has robbed thousands of families by promising them a little stress-free paradise, but to do so the adepts have to give EVERYTHING they have to the boss...
A "charlatan" group
You cant fix stupid
Sounds like every other cult to me.
basically an insane mafia
@@tomondiek2839 they appear to use the same exploitative modus operandi...bar using violence to get what they require from members. No doubt, we ll see how long it will be before we begin to hear these accusations if other past cults are anything to go by. That and the marriages/ sexual exploitation of attendees. I think this may be where their age holds them in good stead as this has usually involved younger people in past.
All sounds like a Costco signature brand version of scientology
"Damanhur shunned the media, but by promising not to call this cult a cult, I've managed to get an invitation..."
There is a city here in Egypt called Damanhur! It's an ancient egyptian name. I wonder why they have chosen that particular name!!
Coincidence?
its not coincidence. this was chosen on purpose by the founder.
Damanhur is named after the Egyptian city of Damanhur which was the site of a temple dedicated to Horus.
I feel like a lot of these fringe groups just see something Egyptian and choose it because of some perceived mysticism that's unique to the country.
Many people want so badly to escape reality and live in fantasy, especially when they're alone and looking for a community to belong.
What would you have these ppl do? Try to fit into a society, a world they feel alien to? Let them live.
@@anelisa4 they need to face and accept reality, as painful as it might be. Sweeping the problem under the rug doesn't make it go away.
@@_all_around_us why should they? It's their life not yours.
@@anelisa4 you're crazy
“Fantasy is not an escape from reality but a way of understanding it”
I envy them to believe in something that much. I wish I was that gullible and loony sometimes. It seems fun and they seem happy.
They’re abuse and probably torture victims.
I don’t believe this because there is no way an Italian engineer made something that time travelled AND got back again without breaking down and getting stuck in 1992.
😆😆😆
YES
Well, at least an Italian time machine would have nice aesthetics, you know, like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Not like those silly British time machines. A telephone box? Really? At least the Americans had the good sense to put their flux capacitor in a DeLorean.
😂😂😂😂
It seems as much art community as cult to me. I could very easily see many non-believers living out their days happily in this place, singing the songs, and going to the community events while playing make believe with your friends. It seems the aesthetic of spirituality yields beautiful artwork, and always has. The frescoes on the walls, stone masonry art, architecture, stained glass installations, jewelry, lighting arrangement, etc... It's all very beautiful in my opinion.
Artists aren't really known for being wealthy individuals, with the obvious exceptions of a select few. Giving up all of your possessions to live in a beautiful place like this and have your needs met is going to be a different kind of proposition to different kinds of people. I don't think you would have to truly believe in time travel and alien visitors and such to enjoy living here.
spoken like our new leader!💸 where we headed?!
Right?! Looks pretty bomb to me to be honest 😆 Sick jewellery or "healing devices" and everything lol
Some people like being under the provision of others like a child.
@@BlueZebraism Some people like being under the provision of others like a child.
I'm starting a new art cult. The aesthetic is to die for... Please just don't call it a cult. Also will you die for my cult? Your new name Is Lentil and you are invited to dinner.
It's like if Italian Burners set up a permanent monastery but without the drugs.
more like: stuck in a neverending dmt trip
Well, one actual and positive fact of all this is that this curly lady who sings in the temple can actually sing and sings really good. I liked her song. Whatever song that was.
If aliens are actually among us, they’re most likely looking for…..intelligent life. 😉
Lol 👽
I used to live in Mt. Shasta, California, which is also a mecca for goofballs like this who will also spend a literal fortune on a pile of resin and copper wire or a necklace of crystals. This is what happens when people lose touch with their traditional indigenous knowledge, which most westernized people around the world have, at this point.
wait, what? "traditional indigenous knowledge" is the solution? that's just more hokum
Yes they should be blowing corn pollen towards the rising sun and smoking sage in a sauna lol.
These people aren’t even American what are you talking about
@@3g0st It’s not an “association” it’s an actual “indigenous ritual”? Have you ever even met a Native of America or been on a Reservation?

It's been going for at least 40 years, and nobody has died. Looks pretty safe to me.
@@WahkeenaSitka you sound like one of them
Anyone who wants to understand wtf they're on about without having to give your entire life away should check out Hemi-Sync. It was developed in the 80's, still a bit woo woo, but essentially they worked out most spiritual experiences are sound based, making use of bi-neural beats. My theory is that it makes you much more aware of your entire nervous system, hence all the talk of tingles and warmth etc and releases natural stores of various neuro transmitters, such as a psychedelic like DMT giving you that experience of meeting with elves, energy beings, aliens, gods, what have you. Attach all that to some symbols, some lore and some psychological manipulation and presto: Cult.
Ha, The Gateway Experience. I’ve actually tried those meditations for a while before sleep, and it was incredibly calming and felt like a really nice way to connect with my body right before bed. I still have the files on my laptop so I might try it again sometime :)
Here’s a link for anyone curious: ua-cam.com/video/uqlaRHyZJqU/v-deo.html
I've done hemi sync! Also with some glasses on that flashed different lights. It was an extremely relaxing and slightly visionary experience
Hemi sync is just rebranded binaural beats but the effect is real. Causes change in brain synchronization. CIA studied it but no recent research.
Used for Remote Viewing.

This coverage is very helpful. These groups always have secret motivates the further indoctrinated you get. It’s baby steps.
They’re probably abuse/torture victims.
the moment they ask you to give away all your income to the community, you shouldn't have any more doubts that this is a scam.
'this neclace is made of the same things as a computer so we can program it to do different things'
Someone was smart enough to build that stargate prop so someone is obviously taking advantage of the disadvantaged...

We observed the covid mass formation psychosis and found out most people are weak minded and will follow. I was amazed at how resilient i was and others also.
Any lsd at this place?
Its interesting how they idealize technology while making low-effort artwork by gluing marbles and copper wire to cardboard. Shouldn't they run a university and teach math and physics?
Mathmatics and physics require logic
when u find out the price of "healing"... all of a sudden you are cured.
Its amazing what an isolated mind will turn to in search for comunity
Wanting to belong and loneliness is a killer. These poor desperate people give everything to belong when everything is already within. A sad cosmic joke I am afraid. Of course, greedy blood sucking leaches are also present ...
I am an isolated mind. After covid withdrew fron society, however i am an observer of behaviours and patterns also so, no cult for me. However i have made myself extremely mentally stronger than i was. I think joining a cult may disempower you from working on yourself.
Love Italy. Love the art. REALLY love the food.
Not so much love for the cult.
Edit: better than Scientology, though.......they make art, and it's in Italy.
Not a cult!
As an Italian I think the temple is really impressive and beautiful, but they cult, "anche no", as we say.
Never underestimate the extent of human stupidity.
I study cults and have for a long time. Very few ever exist for a long time without a history of crime. It's very sad.
Do you know any cults that offer money instead of taking it ?
@@moxictasculinity people need positive groups that have the draw of cults and multi-level marketing.. it seems like culture has stopped a lot of the coagulating forces that draw people together.
When the falcon flew above I lost it 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember stumbling upon this cult when I was going down a "plants can feel pain and learn/teach musical scales" rabbit hole. I wrote them a letter inquiring about blueprints for the midi device they built to translate electrical impulses from the plants to midi notes and they refused to share their research with me since I wasn't in the cult. I never knew how utterly cracked out they were at the maximum. That "freqency healing bed thingy" or whatever is super cracked the F out and ghetto as hell.... code? different issue different program .. um what the..?? that thing wasnt doing a thing... spaced
plants definatly react to music...ive seen it
When I did mushrooms I realized plants were as alive as us and have spirits, it was pretty scary tbh like that movie The Ruins
It's probably just a Makey Makey hooked up to a soft-synth that generates pitches based on a given scale. There are a few logical jumps from emitting electrical impulses to music-making; I would say we're projecting our own understandings of sound onto inanimate objects like plants. Potato batteries have been around for a long time!
“Ghetto “?
Nah man don’t say ghetto but yeah it’s strange for real
Thanks for the laughs, VICE
I couldn't keep a straight face. Congrats to the journalist for keeping a straight face through this.
I dated one women from this cult a few years back, I kinda felt myself being seduced by all this crap - there was a lot of public and group nudity and even public sex involved at times. It was pretty fun and far out, but I noticed she was an extremely negative individual when talking about anything but 'being fully spiritual' - I had go leave her, but I admit was fun while it lasted
P.s - she was Italian and really into Osho - a lot of sexual fulfillment involved - the 1st meeting I meditated naked with her and she gave me the most wonderful orgasm ! Really was fun while it lasted (3 months) bloody crazy lady though 😜
I'm curious how they treat prospects who have nothing. Temples look amazing though
Definitely your body would be the “offering” to them at that point
clean the stables
Volunteer work.
Imagine breaking a leg and they make you listen to frequencies and tell you it will heal in 10-14 days
Some italian dude saw what L. Ron was up to and thought he could do better
I just amazed when the local fortune teller just said,"Time travel is very complex thing".
They were trying to convince the audience that animal names should be fish themed. If you gave me until the end of time I still would have never guest that's what that dance meant
The way I feel watching this is the exact same way I feel when folks talk about their faith without being asked.
Don't ask questions, just believe
"Cults 101" and "How to avoid getting sucked into a cult" should be mandatory subjects in every school on Earth.
Purely on the artistic and creative side, they have some wonderful taste in regards to the murals, architecture etc. Thats about it tho
I was wondering if the same people that service your time machine portal also service McDonald's Ice cream machines?!
😁
You can’t say these people aren’t happy.
behine the curtian there is fucking and fighting.
Can and do
@@earlgrey4976 >> Not really. It’s the with Mormons…sure they’re in a narrative (the Matrix if you will) but, they’re happy. Even if you or I think “the porch lights on but there’s nobody home.”
Ignorance is bliss
ok
i find it astonishing how this reporter manages to not laugh in the face of such craziness...
Interesting to see such backstepping clarification at the end of the video. I'd be curious to know if the content of those corrections were already public knowledge?

I’m tryna be on the VICE team 😭
I hope you make it.
Good luck 👍
Looks better than Scientology 😵💫
This is nothing more of a classic example of salesman tactics. Use people's downfalls and prey upon them. I mean devices that do Nothing and then saying something like, "It may not work for YOU".. Is utter BS. To fall for it, implifies pure desperation.
When you open your mind so much... that your brain falls off...
I like how the time machine was out of service that day, like the Mcdonald's ice cream machine. LMAO!!!!
Let's all drink the punch now. We will ascend to the heavens. I don't like grape. Do you have maybe a strawberry??
Drinking flavors is so earth thinking.....abandon flavor constraints and absorb the kosmik kool aide with you aura and being
@@user-dc1dr9kr8x lol, yea but I'm sure where they want to go they can taste color. 🤣 🤣
A dash of cyanide and you’re on the wayyyyyyyyyy
Who wrote this voice over? It must have been Alessia, she's so clever!! Can't wait to see more of her work!
Said nobody never! 😂
@@stefanjohansson2373 well, someone DID just say it, so..
I love her reporting, thinking the same thing.
She is straight up ignorant. Nothing to do in a news outlet thats supposed to be neutral and critical. I guess no one believes that anymore about vice though so maybe its ok
Love her, well done Alessia!!
“So what’s your animal name.. you can name yourself after absolutely anything.. maybe the fierce and feared Lioness? How about the majestic and haunting Raven? Or the
elegant and proud Gazelle?”
“Ant. Call me Ant”
I thought this was a substantial story until she said "there's hundreds" of members lolol... the girl doing the interview looks like she was holding back laughter the whole time
Just a bunch of homies trying to reach a different plane of existence
🙌🙌🙌
Yeah
*They should have a sequel to this episode where these people go inside of an inpatient psychiatric facility.*
Most of them aren't dangerous to themselves or others. Altough deprived of the privacy and probably the technolgy of modern day society, this place looks quite quaint for an old person to spend his/her last days of life
Developers seeing copper with super glue being called an advanced time shifting technology be like: 👁👄👁
Whenever being presented with more or less outlandish religious, spiritual or quasi-spiritual cults such as this one, I always find myself thanking God the placebo-effect!
We would simply not have enough of them to go around without it. Thank you, Lord of Mercy! Thank you very much indeed.
The only thing I find myself question is why I wasn't blessed with a mind with way less critical thinking, and the 'Will to believe' so strong that it would outmatch every other quality of my mind...?
It's simply unfair...I'm pretty sure I would've been much happier, and also would've been able to live my life with a much more care-free attitude towards 'the big questions' in life. But then again - who've ever said that life is a 'fair affair'? Not 'even' most religions and cults...
So - I guess I'll just have to suck it up...and hold my breath for a 'better' next incarnation..? ;-)
all I wanna know is who controls the money
Nice of you to gather all the english speaking italians for this video. It's a small secret society of its own lol
Do what... lol bruh the way this started was epic, Ole girl was channeling hahahahah
It’s so sad that you are dealing with depression. Try and remember how beautiful you and life is . 🙏
Great reporting.
The paintings and temples are lovely.
If "Aliens" are able to watch UA-cam, this is just one of the many videos why they would stay the hell away
