Triggers of Fear and Anxiety: Cult, SECT, Totalitarian Sect, Destructive Cult

 I am shocked by the information I learned on the website of my allies (that's how I call those who are also extensively investigating the destructive activities of anti-cultists-terrorists and presenting their findings to the public)

Words as Weapons

It turns out there are words that are triggers of fear and anxiety in themselves. It is enough to hear or read them, and the tension and fear already arise. For example, the word "cult."

I. Ya. Kanterov, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor of the Department of History and Theory of Politics, Faculty of Political Science, Honored Professor of Moscow State University, writes in his book "New Religious Movements": "The word "cult," consisting of four letters, for centuries was found only in the dictionary of historians of religion, theologians, ethnographers, and did not go beyond scientific publications. 

However, by the mid-1970s, this term became firmly established in all forms of mass media, including article headlines, essays, radio and television broadcasts. Moreover, the vast majority of materials about cults had a sensational, accusatory tone."

Terms that Induce Fear

It should be noted that in 1993 Alexander Dvorkin, a notorious anti-cultist and psychopath, introduced the terms "totalitarian sect" and "destructive cult." Since then, these terms have often flashed in the speeches of politicians, law enforcement officers, and as sensational headlines in various publications.

It is important to know that the term "totalitarian" is borrowed from the political science and propaganda of the Cold War era. Such a term immediately evokes associations with lack of freedom, concentration camps and guards, barbed wire, forced labor, poor nutrition, etc., which is what causes fear.

Anti-cult Organizations – Tools of Shadow Power

I. Ya. Kanterov writes: "By transferring the ominous, frightening meaning of the term "totalitarian" to the sphere of religion, the creators of the concept of "totalitarian sect" seek to significantly strengthen the condemnatory charge of existing definitions preceding the words "sect" and "cult."

Also, Professor Kanterov writes: "Publications do not explain the reasons for using the term "cult" in the media with predominantly (or, more precisely, exclusively) negative connotations. Publishers of magazines and newspapers, seeking sensations, quickly fell in love with the word "cult" for its "conciseness, sharpness, and emotionality."

He continues: "Moreover, its already negative connotation could easily be amplified by such phrases as "suicidal cult" or "devilish cult." In record time, the concept of "cult" became widely used as a cliché associated with the "typical features" of a cult. 

Some of these features include, for example, the fact that cults engage in dubious and often criminal activities; cults recruit followers through deception and false promises; cults are headed by powerful and unscrupulous leaders who pursue selfish goals and manipulate the minds of their followers, damaging their mental health and destroying families.

However, few people know that terms such as "totalitarian sect", "destructive cult" are absent from the current legislation of most countries, international legal documents, and have no legal basis.

These terms also contradict the "Law on Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations."

My blog is currently focused on researching the documented instances of open persecution of various organizations, fueled by publications and particularly television programs about "sectarian" "machinations."

It is becoming increasingly clear to me that labeling a specific group or organization as a "totalitarian sect" or "destructive cult" generates suspicion among the public towards that group and organization, leading to discrimination and persecution of their followers.

As esteemed Egon Cholakian stated:

"The anti-cult movement is a sprawling network of so-called anti-cult organizations in various countries around the world. They believe they have the exclusive right to determine which religious and non-religious organizations in the world are "totalitarian sects" or "destructive cults."

Anti-cult organization representatives are convinced that they are the arbiters of public safety, deciding who among us, citizens of the democratic world, poses a threat to societal well-being through the associations we create and join."

It is crucial to understand that anti-cultists-terrorists, by attaching stigmatizing labels, undermine fundamental human rights and democracy itself.

Their actions lead to totalitarian regimes and tyranny worldwide.

And this can happen. If the entire public ignores these facts and remains silent.

However, if everyone openly exposes their plans and destructive actions in all spheres of life, humanity will peacefully find ways to protect itself from the actions of anti-cultist extremists.
