Looking through the boards it is amazing how many hits this thread has, even in comparison to so many well known and long established cults. It just goes to show how interested people are in the UM cult. A google search of UM brings up page after page of their own websites (why do they need so many, does the leader have a sideline in hosting servers?!) which would appear to be paid to sit so high in the rankings. But what does come up that is certainly NOT paid for is many newspaper articles on the group. Each and every one finds fault with them. And this is from media groups around the world who are unconnected. UM's current battle cry of "click bait" or "copy and paste" journalism fall flat against this broad spectrum of journalistic examination. A consensus has been reached and it is far from flattering for UM.
Those that have spoken out on UM are viciously attacked online - witness the recent pillorying of Josh Robertson, a journalist from ABC News. UM characterises him as a tabloid journalist and has tried to tarnish him on Twitter. And yet having worked previously for The Guardian, one of the most respected newspapers in the world, and have a back catalogue of articles any writer would be proud of, UM's words are as hollow and empty as the reincarnation claims of its leader. The members will of course go along with it - those that are instructed to steer clear of Wikipedia, avoid any negative press on UM, and read only the websites sanctioned by the leaders. Nothing can get through to them anymore and that in itself is one of the biggest indicators that they are lost in a cult. When one's sense of critical enquiry goes and "feelings" are the only thing trusted (feelings that remarkably always seem to be line with those of the cult leaders...hmmm) then it's very clear to all what's going on.
