You know what I mean? He'll say something that is supposed to represent your name. Don't be words. And you'll get it. We'll put it that way. So that said, let's get to it. Let's dive right back in here because we are in the middle of Robert Rozier and in the middle of him being in this cult, the Yahweh cult, with this crazy Mitchell lunatic. Yeah.

That is a lunatic. He really is. And one of the things here, and this is, this. is you kind of have to have this in a cult. You can't have free thinking in a cult. No, because someone will question something and then, you know. Yeah, questions are no good for a cult. No.

Other people will go, hey, yeah, I never thought of that. And then things fall apart. So the leader needs to keep everybody the fuck shut up, essentially. And on their path and there's punishments for, if you are a, quote, betrayer, as they call them. It's weed it out. Yeah. Yep. No matter how crazy the teachings got.

No one would dare to speak up because if you did, you're fucked. Because according to the temple of love, which is where we are here, he's the son of God, Mitchell. So, Yahweh, if you're Yahweh, Ben Yahweh, you're the son of God. You can't be questioned, obviously. So if you did defy him, basically they would publicly in front of the whole group do shit to you. In one case, a man, a grown man, was made to bend over over a chair as all the women took turns paddling him. All right. I mean, he could have came if he was into that.

You know what I mean? I've heard of worse things for sure. Yeah, I don't know how badly the paddling was. Another case, a teenage girl, this is not good, was forced to strip her shirt and bra off, which right away, I don't like that. Don't like it. And Mitchell whipped her back. Jesus. That's not a paddling.

That's not a whipping. That's crazy. And if you disagreed with him generally, you were called a blasphemer or an Uncle Tom as well. Oh, because those correlate. Yeah, that's, well, in this one, yeah, to him. Wow. He had a circle of 10. Yeah.

Which I believe is the security force here. And they keep a 12 disciples? No, no, circle of 10 for this one, different thing. Yeah, we're not. I mean, you know, Jesus had his thing, but I have my thing. You know, that's what he's saying. It's different. Kept a close watch on people.

And this is a, they're the security team. They look for dissension in the ranks and they tell. They're now carrying around machetes and clubs around also. Ooh, and we're armed. Which seems excessive. And practicing marching drills in front of the temple to freak out the locals, basically. So there are a small group of dissenters, though. as in any cult, there's a small group that find each other and hope that no one tells, basically.

We just gossip about what we don't like about this. Yeah, because there's not a lot we can do. They would apparently meet at the house of a Yahweh member who lived outside the warehouse, which I didn't even know you were allowed to live. I guess if you give them enough money, you can probably do whatever you want. Probably, yeah. You could probably say, I mean, it's like Scientology, for Christ's sake. the people that give them all the money,

they can do anything they want those people. They don't care. It also... It also earns trust. If you're giving a bunch of money, then you're clearly invested, you can go do whatever you want. Well, yeah, and I think it's,

hey, look, I have a job where I work and I can make a lot of money that I can give you, but I ain't going to be able to do it from inside the fucking warehouse. So I'll be over here unless you don't want my money. And then it's like, yeah, yeah, no, you live in your house and we'll make that a satellite office. As long as that check clears.

So they would basically all get together at this person's house and compare notes and figure out, well, I saw this weird shit. Well, I saw this weird shit. Bring a nice barata and let's talk about what we saw. Yeah, you know what? Why not? You know, I want to like a nice darjeeling. We'll sit and, you know, sip tea.

Vigrette drizzle. That's going to be great. So Mitchell, of course, ends up hearing about this and excommunicated all of them. Oh, shit. Excommunicated. took their names out of the book of life and printed up a flyer about them to pass around all the members

and it said Yahweh's hypocrites are warned shit oh yeah it's he it said quote knowest thou not this of old this is an old English you know whatever since man was placed upon earth that the triumphing of the wicked

is short and that the joy of the hypocrite, but for a moment, though his excellency mount up to the heavens and his head reach unto the clouds, yet he shall perish forever, like his own dung. Like his own dung. Like his own dung. That's on the flyer. So, you know, it makes sense there. He continued here.

He was very angry with these people that basically in his mind deserted the church. And he keeps talking about them. he would yell and he would do from the sermon he said whoever does not want me to rule over them those are my enemies right whoever doesn't want me to rule over them is an enemy that's a straight up enemy enemy he said and if you are my enemy you must die yeah you if you do not want me to rule over you you're my enemy and that means you must perish so anyone who doesn't want this dipshit to rule them You have to die. You have to die, obviously.

He said, you must be killed. I want to see it. I want to see your head come off personally. And beheaded. I want to see the blood seep from your vein. You know that jugular vein. I think they got the idea. In case you were wondering which vein I'm talking about here.

He said, I want to see it. And then he made a gurgling noise and said, you won't be able to see it seep, but you'll feel that sword when it bites your neck. I can't wait to see that. What a pleasure. All my enemies killed with a sword. God, dang. He sounds familiar.

Yeah. I mean, we're two minutes away from that. Yeah. Honestly. Right? On a plane, too? How fucking long until we see those? Yeah.

The circle of 10, they are their, that's their guy. And those are, that's a security force. Those are your hardcore believers with machetes and shit. November 13th, 1981. Okay. There's a construction worker. It's a Friday, by the way, Friday the 13th. A construction worker drove his truck down a narrow road to a rock pit located on the edge of the Everglades for an equipment check over there.

Okay. Parked his vehicle. He noticed a large red blanket spread over the weeds a few feet from the road, which he said, that's weird. because this isn't a place where, like, you know, people like go picnic because there's gigantic alligators and panthers around here. They have Panthers in the Florida Everglades? Yeah, that's why they have the Florida Panthers. It's a team, yeah. They have fucking Panthers.

You know what Panther is, James? Do you know that's not even a real cat? No, it's not. It's just a genetic mutation of a Jaguar. Yeah, a Jaguar. They're just one big spot. Yeah, that's it. One big spot, January.

Isn't that wild? And they're fucking cool look. I guess that's why they get the Jacksonville Jaguar. So there's Jaguars down there too. There's, yeah, there you go. Because that's what a Panther is. Wow. All sorts of nasty shit down there.

So this isn't normal, obviously. People don't hang out here. So he got out of his truck and walked toward it. There's a mistake for you. Oh, boy. This is not, let me see my job description. Drive this truck, check equipment. Oh, look for possible dead people.

Nope. That's not, I don't see that on there. In Panther Woods. I think I'm going to keep on driving. So he gets out of the truck. and it's quiet here. It's about 70 degrees, which it's usually very hot. So this is, it's November, so it's starting to cool off finally here.

He bent over the blanket and pulled up the blanket. Why? I can't imagine. And then again, it's 81 too. They didn't quite know, maybe. Underneath was a man in jeans wearing a Florida Atlantic University t-shirt. I'll keep sleeping, doggy. And he didn't just say, oh, hey, how you doing, man?

You know, my bad. The reason why he didn't wake up and go, oh, shit, my bad is because he has no head at all. Oh my God. He's just missing a head. He's just a sand's head. The guy basically stood there for a second, staring at it, like trying to figure it out. Absorb it? Yeah.

This happened with a turkey in my yard the other day, and I had the same reaction. I was just staring at a headless, giant, wild turkey in my fucking yard. Like, what is this? That's a message. I thought it was Don't think that didn't cross my mind Especially the turkeys It's the small town murder people

So I was like Are these people Someone trying to threaten me? What the fuck is going on? And then we read that the greyhorned owls That live in our woods That's what they do They take turkey's heads off

And bring them to the nest For their I guess there's a lot of nutrition They just feed them the head Just the head and neck dude It's a At first we thought it was a fox Because we have foxes

But the fox would have taken The rest of the turkey It's a giant, massive fucking terrifying bird. Imagine how that thing has to take the head. Oh, it's not pretty.

How does it do that? Does it just bite it clean off? Or does it use its fucking talons? This thing didn't even have a neck or anything. It just was like clean off. It's like Gregorne, I'll have a fucking switch plate. Dude, they're nasty.

The talons and the beaks too. They're nasty. So anyway, this guy's got no fucking head. Yeah. They're still blood. seeped from the severed neck. So it's reasonably fresh here. Plus, it's real humid and warm.

So it's not like anything's really drying up here. So the guy was like, holy shit, this is a fresh body. So he runs. He notices that a tree next to the body just has tons of fucking blood all over it. There's blood covering this tree. So this guy sprinting through the Everglades back to his truck to get to the radio, basically. Turns out that the corpse is a 25-year-old man, a Jamaican-born man named Aston Green. And Green had been a member of the Temple of Love.

He lived in the warehouse, and he was one of the defectors. Oh. So this is not great. So he's beheaded, basically. So it's, I mean, he's telling people this is what I want to do, but I don't think, I think they thought it was like biblical. Like it's like, you know, it's an allegory or something. Like he wants them, you know, rhetorically beheaded or something. But no, he wants heads.

He wants them brought to him. Actual heads. So Green, Aston Green was a former Sunday school teacher. had a Jamaican accent and he joined the cult and took the name Elijah Israel

when he joined the cult but then left the cult reverted back to Aston Green. Sure. And I guess apparently after his defection he had been told

never come back here again don't talk to anybody in the cult. Basically you're out. Yeah. But he still had friends at the warehouse and he kept coming back

to visit them. Really? which is insane. I mean, yeah, I guess if you've lived there and all that, that's your social life. Those are all your friends. So when he showed up again on that Friday the 13th of November, that's when the enforcers decided,

these guys got to go. He's got to go. They brought him to a remote corner of the warehouse and basically just beat him silly. He beat him hit him with clubs, kicked him, stomped his chest, and everything like that. It was a horror show.

It was so severe that they had to paint the floor red to hide all the blood because it wouldn't scrub away. Oh, wow. So they just painted the floor red over it. So they dumped him in a car, in the trunk of a car, and drove him to the rock quarry where he was still alive and was begging for mercy, but they dragged him onto a piece of coral rock and stretched his head over it and chopped his head off with a sword. Wow. That's crazy. over coral? Over a coral thing, yeah.

So it's, yeah, like a big rock, basically. God, damn. As they're chopping off his head, apparently the blade is very dull. It's not even quick and easy. One of the assassins here said, damn, this blade is dull. It took 20 hacks or so to get his head off.

20. So they just had to keep hacking at this guy. Oh, dear God. now Mitchell old Yahweh ben Yahweh he was thrilled when they told him what they did to this guy really yes

yeah he said quote this is Yahweh well when we take the next head we're going to put the head in a basket on a post so the whole city can see it and fear Yahweh fear me

Lord of the flies shit yeah that's what he's this is he thinks does he not realize though that like 10 guys with a sword Yeah Is not like the police force has like machine guns and tanks and shotguns and Yeah, national guard like you're not no one's afraid of you no no gang is afraid of you they have no You're in Liberty City motherfucker. They'd be like come take my head with your sword

I'll get it fill you full of holes by and his murder rate at this point was insane by the way This is the cocaine cowboys days yeah when there was you know giant machine machine gun shootouts at malls because they weren't trying to kill one Colombian dealers or they shot thousands of rounds off at them. Like this is the time when Miami's out of fucking control.

No one's scared of 10 guys with a sword. Everyone's got Uzi's back then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this is bonkers. Oh, you got Haitian gangs down there that will take over your neighborhood. You got every kind of gang down there. It's Miami.

And it was when all the Coke was coming in. So anybody you wanted to, to make money, they were down there. You got scary people. The mafia was down there. Sure. Cuban gangs, Haitian gangs, Dominican gangs, and drug the, and these people, they had money from selling Coke.

These people were no fucking joke. So, and this is the whole point of why they killed this Aston Green. News quickly spreads through all of the circles of Yahweh here. And he wanted this to scare all the other people and scare the different. and scared the dissidents, too, the people who left. Now they won't come back. But instead, they decided we should let the police know what's going on now. What do you mean?

The dissidents who had left, rather than being scared by it, they said they were scared, but they weren't scared like, oh, I'll never go there again. They were scared like, we should go to the police so they can protect us from these lunatics. Oh. The wrong message is sent. You know what I mean? So that's what's going on. But the problem is the people who wanted to do that didn't realize that some of the people in the group of dissidents were actually not dissidents. They were actually plants to bring the information back to Mitchell so he could find out what they were up to.

Oh, my God. He's – Diabolical. He's got to know that he's doing a bad thing now, right? Oh. If he has to have plants into the – I guess you can – call it a dissident, but it's the people that are just against you. This is about, this is about control, right, right or wrong or any of that shit, went out the

window a long time ago. He just wants to control everything and he can't control everything if there's people talking. Yeah. And he got, I guess if you're so powerful in this weird little group, absolute powers will fuck you up. Yeah, yeah. We'll corrupt absolutely, as they say. It's, it's going to happen.

So, and it all turns to this weirdness. Now it's, I don't, nobody because of say anything about me. And, you know, I want to control people's thoughts and movements. Jesus. So they took everything back to old Yahweh. Mm-hmm. So Mitchell's enforcers are waiting for a specific guy, Carlton Carey, who went by Yaquim Israel when he was here.

I guess he went for a police interview. And his wife, Mildred Banks, was with him when four. More men wearing ski masks attacked them as soon as they walk through the front door of their house. Oh, shit. They shot Carlton Carey to death, but somehow Mildred Banks survived despite being shot in the chest and having her throat slit. Wow. That's incredible. That's a tough, tough woman.

There's this story in the David Simon homicide book that's insane. There's this. Geraldine Parrish is her name. If you look her up, you will see. She is one of the worst serial killers of ever. But she killed people she knew for insurance money. So I don't even know if you can call a serial killer, but she killed so many people. Like at least a dozen, at least.

I mean, she was a monster. But there was this one particular niece of hers. She would get people to sign insurance stuff for her. Like, I'm your beneficiary. Then she'd kill them. Oh, my. Babies. She poisoned a bunch of babies.

She would marry old men and just kill them after she got them with that. And it kept happening. So there's this one girl, her niece, who was like 18, 20 years old. She tried to kill her like four fucking times and she wouldn't die. She got shot in the head while sitting on a stoop and she lived. They cut her throat and she lived. She got shot again and they lived. And she lived.

And then like the fourth time, it was like this girl, like, because the first, and it's so fucked up. It was in Baltimore in the 80s. So the first like three times, they thought it might have been coincidence. That's how fucked up the neighborhood was. Like three murder attempts in two years is not out of the question for just a normal person. We're just walking down the street. So that's wild. But yeah, she had the same type of thing.

And they were like this fucking this is crazy. So the gunman left her for dead. They thought she was dead. Yeah. So she dragged herself to a neighbor's house who called the cops. Dang. So she ended up recovering and changing her name and relocating, but she's got a big jagged, neck on her, scar on her neck and all that kind of thing.

Now, Mitchell, thinking that he killed both of them, had a pep rally to celebrate their death the next day. It's just not even hiding it. A lot of the people that showed up were horrified to hear about this because they're like, oh, shit, this is getting real now. Horrified to find out that he did. Did it? Yeah, that he's excited about it. And they're supposed to be celebrating it.

So apparently the temple guards were watching closely for looking for any sign of somebody not looking thrilled about this. Really? So everybody had no choice but to clap and, you know, act like they loved it. Oh, boy. So now they're terrified for their lives now. It's not even about anything else. So after this, all of a sudden, plainclothes cops started showing up at the warehouse. Uh-oh.

walking around, that kind of shit. Just looking around. Looking around. Unmarked squad cars would patrol the neighborhood and keep an eye on the dudes carrying machetes wearing turbans marching back and forth in front of something. So they had no proof to put the attacks on this cult. So there's nothing really they could do.

They couldn't raid it without any evidence. You can't just raid it. A bunch of people are allowed to live in a warehouse together. if they want to. There's nothing. As long as it's zoned for it, nobody can say anything. You know what I mean? So that's wild.

But yeah, so they didn't know what to do. I guess 14 people went into hiding. 14 people escaped the cult and went into hiding and literally had to go into hiding because they were like, we're going to, you know, get killed. Then the cops noticed a green carpet hanging from the temple wall. when they're walking around. The thing they noticed is that carpet looks a lot like the carpet found with... In the Everglades.

In the Everglades. Yeah. With Ashton Green. So the sergeant, who's the head of the homicide department, decided to pay a visit to Mr. Mitchell here. To Yahweh Ben Yahweh himself. So Mitchell had him in his office sitting at his desk. He had two guards next to him and all that. wouldn't really answer questions about the cult

was instead lecturing the detective about the oppression of blacks by whites. Which, if it's 1981 in Florida and you're sitting there, you could go, absolutely. But the problem is, yeah, that's true. I get that. But this is nothing to do with that. At one point, he held up a copy

of a historical photograph showing black men being lynched by a white mob. Again, terrible. You can't chop people's heads off because they don't like you because they don't want to be in your club. That's regardless. Yeah, but that doesn't have anything to do with a black man laying in another black man.

Yeah. You killed another black guy. What the fuck's that about? Hey, everybody. Just going to take a quick break from the show and tell you a better way to bank with Chime. Chime.com. Absolutely.

He said this is what people have done us for the last 400 years. So now we're doing it too. To ourselves. So the detectives left just confused.

They got no useful information out of them. They're just like, that was the weirdest interview we've ever done. Too much. Now, somehow, I don't understand how this is an attractive proposition for people, this cult. Yeah. I just don't get it. I don't get any cult being attractive. No, no, no, no.

but this, really, there's really not a lot to dig your teeth into here. You know what I mean? Like, it's weird. Like, you could, Jones Town, like, if you look at like Jim Jones and that whole thing, like, it evolved into that. Yeah. And the people, the people that were there from the beginning, it evolved so slowly that it wasn't like any major changes.

It was, it was, you know, erosion of the Grand Canyon. It was every little bit of silt, every rainstorm, so you don't notice it. Because that started out as a good thing. He started out just trying to say, hey, black people and white people should be able to go to church together. Right. That's a reasonable thing. You know, we should love each other. That's all fine.

Started as a single book book club. Yep. That's it. But then once you're, you know, trying to fucking, uh, trying to solicit. Well, once you're trying to solicit blow jobs in the, in the, uh, gay movie theater and then have people cover it up because you're such a great upstanding man of God. Then it's... There's a problem.

There's a problem. And then you move to an island and then it gets even worse. Yeah, and that's where all bets are off. In an island, but South America. You usually go to a place where nobody can see because we've seen. And they don't like it. You've been run out of places. But this cult keeps expanding.

Wow. Somehow it's growing. And he would send people to travel to black communities across the country dressed in the robes and sandals and all that shit. I mean, the whole biblical outfit, giving away copies of a pamphlet or a book titled, You are not a N-word. You are not. You are not that.

And that's how they were to recruit new members. That's the, it came across as just like a kind of a black empowerment type of thing of feel better and do all that kind of shit, but they don't understand that this is a huge thing. It's kind of what did he did too. It's kind of what everybody in cults and religion and Epstein and everybody. Anybody tries to recruit a club. They've got to find something that's say, this is what you are and that's good. So you should come with the other people that have that too. The hard part is finding that one thing that's like niche but not too niche.

You know what I mean? And being black, that's fucking getting everybody. And that's too wide of a net, I think. A little bit, yeah, for this. you're going to get people who aren't going to be into it, I think. You're going to get normal people. Yeah, normal non-crazy people who just think it's good to not think of themselves as an N-word. Right.

You know, that's a nice message. Yeah, that's terrible. So the Yahwehs here, this cult, claimed satellite churches in 45 cities at their heyday. My God. They're fucking expanding. They had tens of thousands of members. This was not just 100 people in a warehouse anymore. This is crazy.

500 people live at the warehouse. And Mitchell bought old buses from Dade County to house single men who lived three or four in a bus. Or old retired, you know, street buses too. Yes. Well, they're Dade County. County's prison buses, right? Or school. Or school.

Counties do administer schools, whatever. The same bus is just painted different. Let's be realistic here. Whether it's gray or young. It doesn't matter. Just paint it different. I don't have black letters. Yeah.

And they put seatbelts in for the prisoners, but not the kids. That was the thing I always found funny. Prisoner seatbelts. Kids, you're fine. Fuck them. So they would live three to four in a bus to accommodate members of the satellite churches who made pilgrimage to Liberty City for various feasts and celebrations. This was like going to Mecca, basically.

You had to go make your pilgrimage. Yeah. One was, one of the guys here is a 22-year-old black bell. karate expert from New Orleans. Okay. Okay, who attended the Feast of the Tabernacles in fall of 1983. It was a letter. I don't know what the fuck it means.

Tabernacles? Yeah, I don't know what that means. Vaguely religious. I have no idea. Yeah, it's exactly what it is. Yeah. Vaguely religious and but also indicating holiness of some kind. holiness but also like achievement to be here yeah yeah yeah this is in the fall of 83 now this guy

the karate expert is leonard dupree and his parents were very much against him joining this weird fucking cult yeah yeah didn't like it um but he was into it he wanted to do it he has a strong will obviously to be a black belt and karate you have some kind of will and discipline um so his father finally relented and loaned him money to get a a bus to the headquarters there. Yeah. So they sent him on down. Now, he apparently, Dupree, drew some attention, not in a good way, from the temple guards

who are watching everybody's, not just what they're doing, their facial expressions have to be right, or else they're going to talk into. I mean, everything has to be exactly right. So apparently Dupree was spacing out in class and just kind of wandering around by himself, not really engaging with the whole thing and really lock it in. Yeah. So rumors started making the rounds when he said he was a, people found out he was like a karate expert in a black belt and shit. What do you think the rumors were? The rumors that he's gay.

No, no, no, no. The rumors were that he's an assassin sent to kill the Messiah. Oh, because he knows Kung Fu. Yeah, he's going to come in and Kung Fu him to death. That's how all the, didn't you know that? By the way, that's how all messias die. Through Kung Fu? Yeah. That's kung fu. Even in the Bible, it's in the back and very small print, but they say, then the Romans kung fu'd him.

And it's very interesting. I didn't know that. Well, if he'll just be patient, he'll find out the guys that do kung fu, they just are trying to figure out better angles to do some choke, choke jerkin. Yeah. How do I do this? That's fucking great. So he became paranoid, Mitchell does, after the defections and all. all this type of shit.

And he started censoring mail to and from the temple as well. Yeah. Okay. Now, one afternoon, a little few days after Dupree gets there, he gets into a fight with another member of the cult. Dupree did. Dupree does. About 70 people are watching.

And Mitchell was called to the scene. And he asked, Dupree, do you want to hurt me? Is that why you're here? Are you here to harm me? And Dupree said, no, I just want to kiss your feet. Okay. Mitchell accused Dupree still of coming to start mayhem. And as the crowd starts to get angry and swell and, you know, kind of going toward Dupree, someone yelled, kill him.

Which seems like a big step to take here we've got from talking to killing. And Mitchell basically stepped aside as a man we. wielding an iron tire iron fucking beat Dupri over the skull and crack the skull. And then they continued to beat him after he fell to the floor, ripping his pants off and kicking his private areas. All he wants to do is kiss your feet. Trying to kiss your feet. Someone poked out his eye with a broomstick. What is going on?

They were full Gaddafi with this guy. Only Gaddafi enslaved and tortured his own people for decades before they finally did it. This guy just showed up and said, against your feet. Where do they get the rage? My God. To do this. He's clearly been gossiping about him about how he's an assassin, right?

Apparently. And these people believe it. That's right. So they, everybody, they locked all the doors so nobody could leave. Yeah. And basically, as Dupre was dying, he made everyone that was inside the warehouse, man, woman, and child all hit Dupree as he was dying. We're all in it. That way they're all involved in it.

So nobody can say shit because you got involved too. So this was a long, slow, painful death of torture, essentially. Then a group of men rolled Dupre's body in a carpet and threw him near a canal. And by the way, police never able to recover Dupre's body because no one could remember where they put him. Or Panthers and Gators got it. And it was near a canal. So God knows what took him. That could have been fucking giant lizards.

Dude, it's Florida. There could be gorillas living in there. We have no fucking idea. We don't know what's in there, man. Mosquitoes are so big they could have eaten them. You never know. So Mitchell here, by the way, has an economics degree that I think we talked about in the first episode. He's not a dumb guy at all.

Right. That's the thing here. So he opens a food distribution. firm, a housing business and a bottling company that makes, you know what they make, Jimmy? Sundrop. Yahweh beer. Stop it. They are a microbrewero.

They're a duchy microbrew. What is going on? They make Yahweh beer, Yahweh wine. They're small winery as well, and Yahweh sodas as well. Even though the Yahwehs are forbidden from tasting the. The soda, the wine, or the beer. No, they're not allowed to drink any of them. No, sugar, no booze.

No, but this is to sell. So, wow. One member, who was a former hairdresser, created a line of hair shit, hair products for black people that ended up being a national success. Wow. And others had merchandise.

They'd go out on the city streets selling cassettes of Mitchell's sermons. It doesn't seem like a real easy sell. It'd be hard to give that away. I would slap that from someone's hand. Yeah. Yeah. And also Yahweh key chains, pencils and t-shirts as well.

Yeah. How many? There's probably been several products that were nefarious like that, right? That were religious products to benefit. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Tons of shit happens like that.

It's, I mean, I think that was it wasn't Amway part of some weird religious shit? I think so. How that started? Yeah. I think that said something vaguely connected to a church thing. There's got to be

several like big products though. Like, I'll bet you there is one that we don't even know is that like fucking Nestle or some shit. That they came up with. Okay. Yeah. Because these church,

this is where all the multi-level marketing people pray is in churches. Yeah. They pray, especially the Mormons are the easiest ones. Fuck, do they love selling shit to each other? Their whole religion is based on success. and all this shit, and then they tell each other they're going to be a success. And it's just too rich people robbing the rest of them like everything else in this fucking world.

So, yeah, multi-level marketing thrives inside churches. It wouldn't exist if church wasn't around. It really wouldn't. That's the only place it thrives. It's certainly, yeah. Those people are an easy. PTAs and dance moms, they can't compete with a church. No.

No, because in a church, and think about it, those people are already up for ridiculous ideas, number one. Yeah, they're taking anything and run. And number two, they think that you are all, we're all somehow better than everyone else because we're all in this room in this building together. So that means that we're good people and those are bad people. And so it's weird. It's kind of like the influencer bit where you could get a whole bunch of people to agree on something and all of a sudden it's now a thing. That's it. So there we go.

Now, some of the people that they approach had heard about that this cult's weird and they've heard about them. so they were not interested at all. But the street peddlers would work 18-hour days out there on the street. God, damn. Wow. If one of them, if they failed to meet a sales quota, they were sent to the prayer room, which everybody actually calls the pain room, where they were forced to kneel for hours at a time as the temple guards watched

and hit them with a switch if they got up without permission. Okay. So there are still people in the cult that hold jobs outside the cult. And they are required to deposit their entire paycheck into the Yahweh bank account. Just sign the back over and deposit it. Tie the 100%? 100%. That's balsy to ask.

Right? Mitchell also cut back on food. He served one meal a day, usually consisting of beans. and a lot of the kids became emaciated. Some of the kids, remember the old commercials of like the starving Ethiopian kids that Sally Struthers would be on?

And they have like the pot belly from dissension from being all fucking undernourished. And there's like flies on their forehead that they don't have the energy to swat away. Like that's what these kids started, turn it into. Which is crazy.

So he would save money by starving and overworking people. And then he would, invest that money in real estate. Jesus Christ. He bought and renovated apartments in shitty neighborhoods. That's what he would do. Which is fine.

It's fine if you're going to build them up to try to give people nicer housing because you care about your people, but that's not what it is. He just turns into a slum lord. That's all he's doing. And he's telling, and also these people that live there, now he can try to recruit them as well. As he grew bigger and bigger, he was able to get loans and buy money. more buildings and have a big old real estate empire. He had motels, apartment complexes, grocery

stores, fucking bottling company, all this type of shit. Yeah, he had a lot of money, millions of dollars at one point. He became Miami's, one of Miami's largest black-owned corporations at one point. How about that? Which is pretty crazy. He had Temple of Love, Inc. And a lot of people, too, they don't know what's going on inside the warehouse. They don't know about the murder. They just see this. And he's being hailed by a lot of people as a role model. This is a black role model. And they also said, everybody said wherever his businesses go, all the drug trade around there is gone. He eliminates all the drug trade around there.

What does that mean? It means he has 50 guys and turbines to fucking clear the streets of everybody. Yeah. Which I don't even know how you could do that. There's gangs out there like, all right, motherfucker. Well, how many guns you got? Because we got plenty. I mean, they wouldn't let a gang run them off

on their street corner. Why the fuck would they let this guy run them off? Only time I put down my piece is when I'm eating pancakes in my kitchen with my kids. I don't even think fucking, I think, I don't even think Avon Barksdale would have let this shit go. Like he would have been like, fuck that. I want my corners.

That's what he was said. Yeah. Sometimes I use my piece to eat the pancakes. Well, you can just stab them. Donuts, real easy. I get three, four of them. That's an ideal. Fucking Homer Simpson, basically.

I do that, which he did when he had a gun, which was funny. Did it? Yeah, the gun episode where he used it to like turn off the TV. He would shoot at it and shoot lights off and shit. Anyway, so he gets a lot of respect in the community. Okay. The mayor at the time, Xavier Suarez, on October 7th, 1990, declared Yahweh Ben-Yawai day. Got his own day.

Got his own fucking. day. Wow. Who was this? The governor or the mayor of Miami? Holy shit. Oh, shit. Wow.

They, they, uh, an author here, Michael T. Miller described, uh, Yahweh Ben Yahweh's thoughts here as consisting of an imminent apocalyptic expectation, a dualistic cosmology, which placed blacks in the center of the battle. between good and evil, wherein whites were evil and a firm separation based on black pride and economic empowerment. So basically, he was Charles Manson, as what you were saying. As a race war, I'd like to set it off, and then we'll all live underground for whatever. Also, quote, anti-Semitism, often strict dietary guidelines going above and beyond what is in

scripture, commonly advocating vegetarianism for its health benefits, the perception of Christianity as a slave religion designed to subjugate blacks, a relocation of heaven and hell as this worldly realities, and a rejection of the dualist metaphysics of matter and spirit. That's what he was about. So you can figure all what that means all out. I mean, it's pretty simple. Just trying to rewrite what religion is for his own. Yeah.

Whatever suits his purpose. That's all. he concludes that a theology of vengeance upon white America is also something he wanted, although noting a change that began in 1985 when Mitchell wished to create a more positive image. He was coming across as scaring the shit out of all the white people. Yeah. Which, you know, that's fine. I'm sure he was okay with that.

But still, he said that they said, quote, Mitchell is probably the only African-American religious leader to have been equally immersed in black Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Oh. He did become increasingly paranoid about what was being said about him inside the warehouse. Yeah, that's getting to be a problem. What are these fucking people saying? He formed a secret group called the brotherhood, which was tall, muscular men available for his discrete missions. The brothers.

The brothers. Now, who do you know that's a tall muscular man that we've talked about on this show? I know an athlete that's real good at that. Played for the Raiders for two minutes here. Yes. Now, to become a member of the brotherhood, applicants had to kill a, quote, white devil and bring Mitchell a body part. That's the ear, nose or finger. The job interview.

The job interview, yeah. It's like some great, like the worst gang ever. Wow. You've got to bring a nose or an ear or a finger. proof. Bring me a pinky toe. Now, Robert Rozier is his

chief enforcer. Because think about it. He's a big fucking guy and he's athletic. He has control of his body. I mean, if you were on it a guy that's your specimen.

I mean, shit, yeah. You know, according to court papers here, basically between April and October 86 here,

he sent these guys out in Miami to frequently to just, kill random white people. Wow. Just random ones. Now,

Rozier, we talked about in the first episode as he is wanted in several areas. He's bad checks. He's been turned into a scam artist. He wanted in California on a bunch of warrants.

Canada had like 32 warrants for him for all these financial crimes. He's got no money. He's out of the league. He has nothing, is nothing going for him, basically. So he, He initially, basically, was involved in non-cult-related crimes like robberies, and she'd be doing

robberies, this guy. But when he got drawn into the group here, you know, he started getting into it. Upon recruitment, he underwent the whole indoctrination and, you know, you got to have an absolute obedience to Yahweh. He's the son of God. And, you know, we need, there's a necessity of violent proofs to show that you're loyal to him basically. Right.

He adopted the name of Naraya Israel. That's the name he chose. That's the name he got. I don't know if he chose it, but he was giving it. That's what he had. He was initiated as a death angel, because that's what he calls his little circle of enforcers, the death angels. Wow.

Which is crazy here. Now, the status was reserved for, this was an important, like you were a big shot in the cult if you were one of the death angels. Like you were the closest to Mitchell and, you know, he trusted you the most. And, I mean, these are the guys that he would send out to kill people. So they got, you know, they were really important to him and shit. So, and you had to be really, like, devoted to him for him to trust you enough to be in here. But Roseer's physical prowess alone makes him perfect for this shit here.

He's huge. They said basically, when he found Yawai. In the way in 82, he was basically this close to being homeless, Robert Rozier. He had nothing. He was surviving on robberies and crime and forgeries and everything like that. He ended up, he was in prison for six months, Rosier was. After that, that's when he found the Temple of Love and changed his name and did all that shit. He worked really hard in the Yahweh bottling company first.

That's how he got in. Yeah. And people were taking notice of his efforts, and that's how he ended up. Yeah. In April of 86, it's a Saturday night, Rozier decided to try out for the Brotherhood, the Death Angels. He's going to try out. So he put on street clothes. He had a 12-inch knife inside of his jacket, and he left the warehouse to go a hunting for white devils.

Jesus. He ended up in Coconut Grove, which is a gay gentleman. neighborhood. Yeah. Also white. A lot of white people and gay people. And he would follow groups of people around looking for someone who straggled off, looking for the weak antelope, basically.

Is there a woman who's going to be behind a couple of steps? And he found a white man stumbling down in the street drunk. And that caught his attention. He said, oh, look at this fucking guy. So he followed this man to his apartment all the way to the door. and as the man opened the door, Rozier forced his way inside and stabbed him in the heart.

Jesus Christ, that's cold-blooded. This guy was playing in the NFL like two years ago. This is, wow. Apparently, what he didn't know was there was someone else in the apartment. Someone else is living there who was home. So that's a problem. And so Mitchell stabbed that guy to death as well.

Oh, my God. I mean, Rosier stabbed him to death as well. Now, he briefly considered, should I chop their heads off and bring them to Mitchell? He'd probably like that. But then he was like, how the fuck am I going to get these heads through Miami without people noticing? Right. That's going to be hard. Gee, I can't just walk with one under each arm like their coconuts.

That's not going to work. So he just left. He showed Mitchell his knife the next day and told him what he did. And Mitchell said, good work, good work. He said, but next time, remember to bring a body part back. What's wrong with you? Something. Slap a finger in your pocket.

What's the big deal? Show and tell, babe. That's what we do. Now, on another occasion, Robert Rozier and the other death angels, Bobby Rozier and the Death Angels sounds like an aborted Motown project from the 60s.

Like, we're going to go on with the Supremes instead. We're going to put our marketing dollars behind that. They're walking the streets of Miami, looking for white devils. And they come across a man, passed out in a car in a bar parking lot. so two of the men stab him in the chest repeatedly, then slice his ear off.

Is he asleep? He was asleep in the car, drunk, you know, sleeping one off. So they stabbed him in the chest and sliced his ear off, but then they dropped it in the dark. Oh. Now they're searching around. And there's no cell phone flashlight, so they're just searching around in the dark for an ear

that they can't find. So then they had to go back. They dropped it like not at the car. They dropped it on the way home sometimes. So when they got home, they didn't have the ear. Could we get anywhere? So they went back to cut off his other ear. Oh, my God.

Back to the crime scene. Oh, man. Mitchell was so impressed with them and their dedication to go all the way back and get that ear that the following day, he gave them the day off. And they all went to see the movie aliens. I don't know why that? I don't know how those two things cross, but... It's a big blockbuster movie, James. We got to see it at some way.

They got to see the sequel. They saw the first one. Sigourney's going to be all in her underwear and shit that everybody wants to go. Her nipples are so hard. She looks great. So, people, basically there's tons of white guys, usually homeless or alcoholic people or, you know, people that were in the margins, stumbling around at three in the morning, shit face, stuff like that, started basically just showing up dead all over the street.

and police thought that the police had a theory that whoever was killing all these people, number one, they thought it was one person. Right. And number two, they thought it was some kind of deranged Vietnam vet. That's what they thought it was. Somebody like, for some reason that some clues that they were put on to made them think it was a vet because the ears were getting cut off. What are they doing in Vietnam? Yeah. A lot of times those fuckers would cut off ears and save them and shit.

So they thought it was some Vietnam vet continuing his work, basically. They didn't realize that it's actually like, you know, a guy who's going to get like a key to the city and shit. He got his own day? Yeah, not yet, but later, yeah. So in 1986, the cult takes over the mortgage on an apartment in Opelaca, which is outside of Miami. They tried to evict the residence. Oh. And some of them didn't want to fucking leave.

No. Nope. So Yahweh's enforcers were sent to forcibly remove the people. Oh, it's his place. It's his place. He bought it, so it's his now. Two of the residents were shot to death with this. Wow.

You could have just done the eviction process, and then the sheriffs would have gone and got them out. You don't have to kill anybody. Like, this is crazy. There is a process for this. It might take you a minute, and you've got to go to the court and everything. Got a constable, yeah.

In the end, you don't have to kill anybody. Right. It's usually how it works. Interesting. So a witness told police that Rozier was the gunman. Oh. And then he was arrested on Halloween, 1986, and charged with murder. He refused to cooperate at first here, obviously.

They asked him his age. How old? Robert Rozier, how old are you? By the way, he's 33 at this point. Yeah. His answer was 404 years old. Ah. Hi, Nariah Israel.

404 years old. Nice to meet you. 404. And any question they asked him other than his age, he answered with the exact same answer, which was praise Yahweh. Really? All he would say. Wouldn't say shit other than praise Yahweh. So here is a, what is this, Palm Beach Post article, Yahweh sect member held in murder.

Mm-hmm. They say two men who opposed the takeover of their drug-ridden apartment complex by a militant black religious sect were shot to death Thursday. prompting the city to evacuate the buildings. A Yahweh sect member, Nariah Israel, 33, also known as Robert Rozier, now it's with an S instead of a Z. Oh, no more Zs. He changed that. Was charged Thursday with first-degree murder in one of the slayings.

The Metro-Dade police spokes with Lucy Fitz said that. Israel lives at the Yahweh Temple in Miami. Hummified investigators refused to release more information about the case, only saying that she did not know which of the two slayings Israel was charged with. The Opelaca City Commission voted unanimously Thursday in an emergency meeting to condemn the five building complex and order all residents evicted and relocated within 48 hours. That's great. I mean, yeah, I guess.

To start. He got what he wanted, but now it's condemned. So not really, because now it's condemned. Now what the fuck do you do with it? You have to knock it down. It's unbelievable. Yeah. The commission refused an offer by the former owners two weeks ago to allow the city to take

over the complex, which has received publicity as a haven for drug dealers. Okay. Instead, it was sold to the Yahwehs or Hebrew Israelites, a militant group that contends American blacks are the descendants from the biblical Israelites and now live in the land of the white devil. Early Thursday, a confrontation between two outspoken residents and two carloads of men outside the complex, two outspoken residents. Drug dealers are just to get the fuck out of my turf is what it was.

It's allowed people Not enough to hide, I guess? No, because they don't give a fuck. We own this motherfucker. So that's very funny to put it between, literally between two drug dealers who run an apartment complex and a group of cult members.

That's a fun argument. And they describe it as a confrontation between two outspoken residents and two carloads of men outspoken. Ended, this confrontation ended when the two men were shot, according to the mayor of this community near Miami. The angry, an angry crowd gathered in front of the buildings after the shootings, but was eventually dispersed by police.

Holy shit. They identified the two men as Anthony Brown, 28, and Rudolph Broussard, 37, saying they had resisted evictions ordered by the Yahwehs after the sect bought the property. Wednesday, Brown was shown, that's the 28-year-old, on television saying, I'm going to stay here until I get. get an eviction notice. I don't care what they say. They ain't going in. It's as simple as that. It's my place. Which, yeah, that's the legal way. They should have just did that. Broussard had told his family and friends that the Yahwehs had entered his apartment without permission and took out furnishings. He can't do that. His sister said they broke into his apartment and took a freezer out. Then my brother tried to get the freezer back. The Yahwehs were just

throwing people out. So they said they refused to release details of the shootings, but just said two car loads of men spotted Brown and Broussard sitting on the steps in front of the building. The two cars stopped. The men exchanged words, and the shooting began. Broussard was shot four times in the head and died on the spot. Brown was shot but ran and fell down two blocks away. He was then shot once in the back and twice in the head as he tried to get up.

So they followed him and then executed him. A man who gave his last name as Israel, the name taken by all Yahweh sect members, was arrested for loitering in the vicinity after the shooting. The cops said she did not know if he was the same man charged in the slaying. Wow. They said the Miami-based Yahwehs also are suspected in the pre-dawn firebombings of six Delray Beach Homes on May 20th. Fire bombings? This is terrorism now. Fire bombings?

That's absurd. Yeah, that's too far. Jesus, the homes in the first block of the Southwest 14th Avenue were firebombed after neighborhood residents clashed with the Yahwehs who'd been recruiting new members in the neighborhood. There have been no arrests in that case. After the shootings here, Yahweh members got on a bus and left the scene. A woman who answered the phone at the group's Miami Temple told the Associated Press that the sect has, quote, no comment about the events. No comment about our people being charged with murder. So November 5th, the Tampa Tribune, headline is police recordings missing of shootings at Yahweh complex.

Okay. Let's find out what's going on here. Residents of the Opalapa apartment complex where two men were killed after a dispute with the Yahweh sect last week said they called police for help, but nobody came. Wow. Police said because of a technical error, they don't have the tape recordings of the calls. Oh, we happened to law. We lost those. Sorry.

Wow. Witnesses said there were no police at the complex when the two tenants were killed. Well, I would guess not. I doubt they would have done it with cops there. The Yahwehs had taken over the complex and trying to move people out. They said all the calls came into our office from midnight to midnight, meaning October 28th to October 29th. We have no record of. Basically, the entire day of October 28th, they have no record of.

That is interesting. They said, I'm not sure somebody else. actually destroyed it. She said, I don't think we would have wanted to destroy those phone calls. Oh, I'm sure. You wouldn't want to destroy calls that you ignored because it's a shit neighborhood and then people got killed. So I think they're full of shit.

Barbara Malone, a legal services attorney representing the tenants scoffed and said, my inclination is to say, if you believe that, then you believe in the tooth fairy. Yeah. And this is the time of insanely corrupt police forces too. Sure. Yeah. Miami Herald asked the department to produce tape recordings of the 38-hour period during which the slings took place. The police chief said that the department had no reason to think violence would break out in the case, but on Monday promised to investigate.

He said, quote, I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. Wow. Investigating it all on his own? Oh, I'm going to get to the bottom. The director of the Dade County Housing and Urban Development Department said he had warned of trouble at the complex, which had been a haven. for drug traffickers and abusers for years before the Yahwehs bought it. But he said he had the letter hand delivered to the city manager hours after the slayings. Oh, my goodness.

Okay. Interesting. By the way, in other completely unrelated news from Florida at this exact time in this newspaper, listen to this headline, nine-year-old to be tried for murder as an adult. Hell yeah. A nine-year-old. Yeah, he's had enough fucking condling, this little bastard. And it's enough juice boxes and putting pops for you, you little pussy.

Nine-year-old. As an adult. As an adult. What did he do? He's a murder. It doesn't matter what he did. He's nine. Obviously, murder.

I think that's the only thing they try him for as an adult. They don't go, this kid Joy rode his mom's car and got a speeding ticket. We're trying him as an adult. But they said the defense attorney decided to have him tried as an adult. Really? Hoping an adult jury would show more sympathy than a judge who had done. would try him as a juvenile. Oh.

He's a third grader. He's in third grade. What the fuck? He appeared in court in handcuffs and leg shackles. He's nine. He's nine. Handcuffs and leg shackles. That's ridiculous.

Did they have tiny leg shackles? He pushed three-year-old Ricardo Brown into a motel swimming pool and watched him drown. Okay, well, that's sick. He's a dangerous little boy, but. Put him in therapy. He's nine. Oh, my. Can he, does this little guy swim?

I don't know. We don't know. That's a question, too. What if he doesn't swim? What if he, like, pushed him in and then was like, oh, no. And they can't swim. Who knows? Yeah.

I mean, did he try to get help? Wow. So they asked a bunch of judges, and none of the judges they contacted could recall a jury trial for such a young defendant in a murder case. Like, I don't understand this. The one, the Florida Supreme. Court Clerk said nine years old, not that age, but I have no way to check that either. He said, wow, that is crazy.

The state's attorney's office said, we're not interested in winning so much as we're interested in getting treatment for the child. Yeah, he is, yeah, works for the state there. Wow. And then the boy said, I'm embarrassed with my shackles on. Yeah, that doesn't feel good. Yeah. And they also, this is the lawyer.

He's a nine-year-old, and most just don't understand the consequences of their actions or the system. I have adult clients who have trouble understanding the system. Yeah. Can you imagine, I don't, can you barely remember when you were nine? Like, I don't think I remember it at all. Imagine if you did something that still affected your life today. I don't even remember doing that. I don't know, it was fucking nine.

I don't even remember. My brain wasn't developed yet. You'd be like, fuck, man. That's crazy. I wonder who he killed. I'm a three-year-old. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, the three-year-olds pushed him in the pool and just watched him drown.

He's watched him drown, which is horrifying. And that's where we're going to try that kid as an adult. That's not like he cut the kid's head off or something. Yeah. He might have thought the kid could swim. He's nine. He might not understand that three-year-olds can't swim. Yeah, and he may not understand that he can't swim to save it.

All sorts of shit. Yeah. I don't know if a nine-year-old could even pull a three-year-old. No. It would be strong enough to do that. No way. So November 21, 1986. The headline here is Yahweh sect denies preaching self-destruction.

This article says, in a lesson book to followers, the Yahweh sect broaches the topic of suicide. It says, quote, we have to come, we have come to the point where we must find justice for ourselves or commit suicide. The message of self-destruction, chillingly reminiscent of Jonestown, is contained in a 92-page, book of the teachings of Yahweh's leader, Hulon Mitchell Jr., obviously Yahweh but Yahweh. The soft cover book, Undated, discusses suicide three times. It declares, quote, it is better for us to just go and commit suicide than to allow the enemy to come into our homes and drag us down, drag our mothers and daughters out, beat and linch and rape them while we stand by looking.

Suicide's the answer. Suicide is the answer. That's right. which I believe that's, I think the Nazis had the same theory. Likely. I think they all just killed themselves at the end there. That and what's a Hostetler from Deadwood? Oh.

Not going to let people treat me like that and just went and blew his brains out. Remember you're like, Jesus Christ, Hostel. Take it easy. Calm down. They said someone mailed a copy of the book to the Dade County State Attorney's Office last week. Prosecutors are reviewing it as part of an investigation into the allegations of cult-related. crimes. Mitchell, 51, a charismatic eccentric. That's one way to put it. Charismatic eccentric. That's extremist, more. Cult leader who murders people, who can stir his disciples into chanting at a

frenzied state, was unavailable for Carmen. A woman answering the telephone at the sex temple of love said no one could speak for the group. She said, quote, our public information office is closed right now. Wow. Authorities investigating alleged members, alleged involvement by Yahweh members in a number of crimes over the past five years, including execution-style murders in Dade County, as well as incidents of child abuse in New York and South Florida, arson and Del Rey Beach, and assault. They deny all the wrongdoings.

In a most recent episode, they took over the apartment complex and murdered two people, obviously. So they say that they've, basically, the Yahwehs, spoke of suicide, but nothing specific. They say the specter of suicide arises in the, quote, you are not an N-word, our true history, the world's best kept secret. That's the book they're selling for $5 at the Temple of Love. Five bucks. Five bucks.

Seems like something you should give out if you want people to pay attention to it. It's a good way to do it, yeah. Give it for free. Remember we looked on the thing. If you really want a Bible, someone will give you one. Yeah. You don't need to pay for it. They'll read it to you for free.

Oh, fuck, yeah. We had a whole think about that on the, I think it was a bonus episode. Yeah. If we continue to accept injustice, we are nothing but cowards, the book says. If we be cowards, then we ought to go home, kill our wives, then commit suicide. Isn't that not cowardly? That seems pretty cowardly. Wow.

The author, presumably Mitchell himself, declares on another page, what good is your life and my life if we have no protection? If I were a black woman and my men were such cowards that they would not try to defend. me and our children, I would kill myself. Okay. They say people who study cults remember the discussions of suicide by Jim Jones, the madman of Jonestown. His people called him father. Slowly over a five-year span, he let them in on a secret plan for coping with the downfall of the cult.

In death, they could all achieve new life. And they talk about all that. The Yahwehs deny that they preach suicide. A Yahweh pamphlet actually says, comparing Mitchell to Jones is a wicked suggestion. They have to address it in their own pamphlet. It's a bad sign. Bad sign.

November 27, 1986, all this pressure, they keep, I mean, the papers, every newspaper in America's fucking calling them all the time. So they open doors to reporters on November 27th, 86. Come on in and look around. Show that it's, isn't it fine? It's not good. They had three weeks to clean it all. all up and make it nice.

And they say the secret of Yahweh religious sect linked to murders and accused of brainwashings and beatings opened its temple of love to reporters and allowed them to meet the group's leader who claims to be the son of God. Okay. He says, Yahweh ben Yahweh, quote, I thank my father Yahweh for the chance to meet all of you and to dispel some of the rumors about the nation of Yahweh. And he did a two-hour tour featured visits to the ice cream parlor, the grocery store, the sewing shop where members white robes and pants are made, and to the laundry room where modern washers and dryers were going. They had on sale, Yahweh comic books, t-shirts, booklets, pamphlets, posters, records.

They said the workplaces that people had, there were small signs saying, life is better with Yahweh. Come on up to Yahweh. You know, all this shit made it real nice. In a brief statement, Mitchell made here. He told them that he's trying to establish his name in America and that his message will bring peace to the entire world. Oh. He said, my message is of morality for all people.

Wow. What about that other part? Murdering people. Yeah. Yeah. He said, I must come to my people first of all, the so-called black people. And that's what he said. He even denies that the group is even racist. Okay. By even racist. A spokeswoman, Judith Israel, read a litany of denials, charges made by authorities and ex-members against the Yahwehs, including murder, child abuse, premature pregnancy among its youth and beatings.

She denied that the members were suicidal or in any other way. similar to the Jim Jones cult here. A young among the Yahweh's difficulties are, of course, Robert Rozier accused of two slayings. And also, Yahwehs were linked by Miami police to two 19881 slayings, including the beheading of an ex-member in Miami, although no charges have been filed. None. They just know there's a connection, but they don't know who did it, essentially. Opelaka residents recently filed a lawsuit describing the sect as a racketeering organization. Oh.

Yahwehs were also blamed my residence for arson and Delray Beach after a recruiting and funrising drive in a black neighborhood this year. They also will not say how many members they have in Miami, but the Temple's auditorium, they say has hundreds of chairs, seven television monitors, and several loudspeakers. Great. So it's a big setup here. December 8th, Yahwehs give up complex. Oh, they can't be there anymore? No, they said, fuck it. And Yahweh himself, there Mitchell, is claiming that the two men that were there, we didn't kill them.

You know who killed them? No. God killed them. Oh, God did it. Struck him down. That's what happens. God took his head, took his ear. God did it.

God packs a 38. That's what God does. He's not playing. He doesn't play around. You better watch out. He packs some punch there. So they say the Yahweh sect agreed Sunday to withdraw its claim to five Opelop up. Apalaka apartment buildings where police say two men were assassinated by a sect member.

Opelaka Commissioner George Lipkins met with sect leader Yahweh Ben Yahweh for 45 minutes Sunday afternoon. Lipkin said he's going to allow us to seek another buyer. The main thing he's concerned about is his $14,000. He bought an apartment complex for $14,000. $14,000. Wow. That is a shitty. Oh, it's a down payment.

Okay. Okay. And then he had a mortgage and he couldn't pay it or whatever. He just wants his down payment back. It'll sell it. Roger Martin, one of the three landlords who turned over five buildings on Northwest 131st Street to the Yahwehs for $14,000 in down payment, confirmed the sale was off. After an hour and a half sermon Sunday, Yahweh Ben Yahweh, I guess his sister, he didn't give any comment because his assistant said he needed time to be alone. Yeah. Martin received a down payment on October 27th. The next morning is when six busloads of Yahwehs occupied the complex and told residents to get out.

Then the killing took place shortly after midnight that night. So, yeah, there's that. December 14, 1986, the leader says, listen, all the Yahwehs adhere to laws. So we too. Stop looking into us. He says, he teaches, saying he teaches his disciples to, to follow the laws of the land, he claimed that his notoriously famous sect has often been victimized by violence. We're the actual victims. We are suffering. Yes. Yeah.

When we're the aggressors, we say everyone else is the aggressor. When we attack, we say we're victims. It's all, this is all standard fair cultured here. So they say, we are living in another ruler's country and we are subject to the laws of America under the rulership of another people. We are a, what is this, a nashier? Oh, I guess it's a misspelling here. We are a nation, but we are a subject nation. Sure.

In fact, I teach that if we were in a 30 mile an hour zone, drive 29, I teach us, better to obey the law, do a little better, set an example. It makes us the very best citizens America has. Okay. Yeah. There wouldn't be very much police work if everybody was like us, no drug busts. us, we don't smoke, we don't drink alcohol. We just murder and rape. Yeah, I mean, who cares if you don't drink that?

Yeah, we just get kids locked up here. So, anyway, they talk about Robert Rozier, too, that he's still in deep shit. So he's sitting there, like, basically they're just saying, like, oh, well, he must have, A, they're saying he's innocent, but if he's not innocent, it's not our fault, we didn't send him to do that, is at all, yeah, he didn't listen to me. He says, Yahweh goes on to say, We are a people who practice peace.

We've been the victim of violence on several occasions, but that has never been reported. They said, well, what are they? We'll report him. So he cited several examples. Once, he said, a Riviera Beach woman sent attack dogs after Yahweh followers who kicked her dogs.

And you kick my dogs, you'll be lucky if they're the only ones attacking you, because I will murder you for kicking my dog. I'll fuck somebody up for kicking my dog. You kick my dog. Well, you kick one of my dogs. You're probably in deeper shit with them. They don't need any help.

You don't know. But I will, I'm going to be kicking your corpse after they're ripping you apart. Yeah. Yeah. My dray won't bite anybody. But if you kick him, I'll bite you. Exactly.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Oscar would be like, why'd you do that? Yeah. He'd look at you like, what the fuck, dude? Look how nice I am. I'm wag on my tail.

It would be beside himself. He would be so confused. That's what it would be confusion. You're like, what the fuck? Sometimes I look at Oscar like that and I go, no one has ever been mean to you for one second. You've never. Like every human being you've ever come in contact with is wonderful to you.

Like that's... It loves you. Wow, what a life. You fucking jerk. You fucking jerk. So sent attack dogs. Her son became a... abusive and was knocked down by a Yahweh who was then arrested.

So that's them getting attacked. You go to their property to try to recruit them for some horseshit cult. You kick their dogs and then they come after you going, hey, what the fuck? And the son wants to fight you. And then he gets beat up by these guys and then they get arrested. That seems like you guys are assholes and you should stay out of people's fucking business. Yeah. Stay out of my yard.

There's another time, apparently. I guess Miami prosecutors, or authorities, wouldn't prosecute a woman who slashed a Yahweh follower with a machete. Oh. In Del Rey Beach, he said a group of drug addicts beat our women and children, broken jaws, brain concussions, terrible lacerations. Brain concussions? Yeah, but no arrests were made.

Right. He also said the homes that were subsequently firebombed were the homes of the people who helped us, who came to our aid. Not the people. We didn't bomb them. Those are really transgressions against us, even though we clearly did it. More victimization. Wow.

He said his followers are learning self-sufficiency. So good for you. December 31st, by the way, here, 1986. The Yahwehs are going to buy more apartments. Uh-huh. Here. Yahweh says, quote, We are currently in the process of buying up apartment buildings and making room for people.

who don't have room. Making room for those who don't have it. Those who don't have room. January 11, 1987, Yahweh Seck announces plans for stores. Oh. The Yahweh store. Yeah. They got it at Yawai.

They got it at Yawai. So I guess he said that he's going to open a chain of Yawai grocery stores in low-income neighborhoods. He said 20 stores will open during the next year and will offer quality groceries, a competitive Prices. Now he's a businessman. Competitive prices. He said, in the ghetto and depressed areas. But he did not say where the stores would be located or when they would be open or any of that shit here.

But, you know, there you go. He also said that he would offer a bridge between black, Hispanic, and Anglo residents of Miami. Oh. You know, by killing all of the other ones who aren't him. January 12, 87, Yahwehs gather in Miami. We're having a party, everybody. buddy. It's a fucking barbecue. Yeah.

Yep. The self-proclaimed son of God who leads the Yahweh religious sect denied preaching hate and explained some of his beliefs after an attorney representing a sect member accused of murder suggested an openness campaign. Robert Rose Leeser's attorney said, hey, everyone thinks you're a weird cult. Yahweh spoke Saturday at a meeting attended by about 40 representatives of the sect from cities across the country. These are like the leaders. Yeah. Did a little leader, a little leadership meeting here. Wow, some team building.

He told reporters and followers that fears raised by his writings are unfair since he's only been reporting history. And then they did that thing where they stand on something and they fall down and everyone catches them, you know, because it's trustful. Trustfall. He also discussed the beliefs of the sect, which he said have been secret until now. Among those beliefs he stated, Yahweh ben Yahweh and all his followers are immortal, obviously. I mean, that's number one. We never die. Never die.

The sect teaches clarity and benevolence, assist the feeble and support the government of Yahweh. Okay. Now it's a government. Wow. Interesting. January 27, 87, Miami Herald, the headline is,

legal brief on Yahwehs, is unfinished. I guess Opa Laca Commissioners ordered a city attorney's report outlining the possible lawsuits against the Yahweh sect. And the report hasn't happened even though it's been two and a half months. Wow.

They said when a report request has not been responded to after two and a half months, whose interest is being served, the mayor asked. Clearly, it's not the people's interest. I'm disturbed and I'm astounded. The commissioner, Brian Hootin,

said the attorney's office should have delivered the report within a month or so. Before the attorney's office can file a report, it needs more financial information from the city. One of the people trying to put the report together said, we're still gathering the materials.

We ain't done shit. Somebody's going to have to go back and get a shitload of dimes, is what they just said. Can't do it. It's not a simple case where we can file a suit and recover, said a second attorney. Apparently, they want to hold the Uyahu's liable for more than $35,000 the city spent to relocate the residence of this place.

Okay. Some tenants complain, scavengers and thieves stole their belongings after the city removed its special police detail following the evacuation. So they left it to get, you know, just looted, basically. So they said the complete failure of the Opelaca Police Department to protect tenants when the Yahwehs arrived. Okay. Now, a member, this is from February 5th, a member of the controversial Yahweh religious sect had already jailed on one murder count, has been charged with fatally stabbing two men whose bodies were both found with an ear slashed off.

Uh-huh. Two more? Robert Rozier is now, uh, he's face his trial next week for the Anthony Brown murder. Now they're indicting him on two more murders. Oh, shit. Raymond Kelly, 61 and Cecil Branch, 45. Kelly's body was discovered in a car, in his car, parked outside a Dade bar, September 6th. Branch's body was found in his Miami home, September 21st.

both men were missing an ear. Oh, shit. It's nice to leave your calling card, by the way. They're like the wet bandits or something here. They're going to know that they did all the houses and Daniel Stern's going to jail. Okay, the Miami Herald. This is fucking amazing. There's a report that came out here.

I guess they're about the whole sect. And they say the report, the study says, quote, Yahweh's deal in racism. No shit. They said sect poisons race relations, anti-defamation league claims. Members of the Miami-based Yahweh sect are a source of widespread concern because of their anti-Semitism and anti-white racism,

the Anti-Defamation League said in a report. The Yahwehs have established a multi-million dollar organization, blah, blah, blah. the Justin Finger, who is the Civil Rights Division, in the Civil Rights Division of the Defense Anti-Defamation League, said it tends to appeal to people who are frustrated and angry and dissatisfied with their lot in life. In the report, the ADL chairman Burton Levinson said the Yahwehs insist that blacks are the chosen people and that Jews are impostors who represent the synagogue of Satan. See what I mean? All this is so silly. all this, everybody can just get along.

This is ridiculous. Everybody's got to stop. At least, at the least, Levinson said, the Yahweh's activities tend to poison the bloodstream as far as intergroup relations are concerned. Calling whites or Jews devils is obviously not helpful to society. The report said Yahweh literature

includes scriptural references used to support the sex position against the whites, white Jews, and blacks who refuse to follow their doctrines. Oh, damn it. Levinson said, neither the Yahwehs nor the Hebrew-Israelite nation of Jerusalem, another sect that claims to trace its lineage to Abraham, is connected with black Jews in Israel. Thousands of black Jews of Ethiopian origin have been resettled in Israel and fully accepted as Jews, the report said. The Yahwehs were found in Miami in the late 1970s.

They talk about, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now, they talk about all the different shit they did. So February 16, 1987, just various shits here about this. Dade County judge barred the Yahwehs from reassuming control of the apartment complex, saying that the actions by a group of individuals who take the law into their own hands cannot and will not be tolerated by a civilized society. A former group of tenants, many of whom had taken refuge at the Red Cross shelter, after the shooting, sued the Temple of Love, claiming that the Yahwehs had spread a continuum of terror.

Yeah. Wow. They said that Dariah Israel, Robert Rozier, might have been the one who pulled the trigger that night, says Barbara Malone, one of the attorneys representing the tenants. But the other 50 were there, especially for the purpose of intimidation and driving people away from their homes. Wow. Every day, it seemed there were new and startling revelations about the black people in white robes. former Yahweh members complained to lawyers, police, and reporters of attempted brainwashing of being held against their will. Someone sent prosecutors a Yahweh book discussing suicide in terms reminiscent of Jonestown.

A former sect member who signed his court affidavit John Doe number one because he feared reprisals. Wow. Described a meeting at which Yahweh Ben Yahweh instructed a new member of the temple to, quote, bring back a white head in a paper bag. A whole head. Whole head. If it's a big paper, like a grocery bag, you'd need for that. You better double bag in a, you can't do that in a liquor store bag.

No, got to rip right through that. It'll hold a 40, but not a head. I'd say you'd need like a double bagger on that, too, for the seepage, you know. Probably. They said the public rebukes continued last week when the Anti-Defamation League, talked a bunch of shit about him. Interesting. The report quoted Yahweh Ben-Yahu's father answering his son's claim to divinity.

So this is Hugh Lon Mitchell. senior. Senior, yeah. I was there when he was born, holding his mama's hand. You can't get closer to that, and he is not the son of God. He said, he came from my balls and shot out his mama's crotch, is what he just said. I watched.

Jesus had nothing to do with it. I was screaming it, but it had nothing do with it. I remember not pulling out. I was too lazy that night. A little drunk, and my timing was off. And his mama, you know, his mama shot him right out. Yeah, all she did was say, oh my God,

That's all. That's it. So that means he's a son of God. How many sons of God be walking around out there? That was the truth. So in page after page of newspaper accounts and court documents, the Opelaka killings are always mentioned alongside the Yahwehs. But when Nariah Israel goes on trial, he will go alone. Because it is.

It's just him now. So he was recently indicted by the grand jury for the murder of two other men, obviously. and his jury trial's about to start. His lawyer, Ellis Rubin, his lawyer, Ellis Rubin. Now, his, think about this. His murder trial starts Tuesday. Okay. His lawyer, Ellis Rubin, is in jail on an unrelated charge of contempt of court.

Nice. Hey, could we delay this? My lawyer's in jail. My lawyer does not listen to judges, by the way. He talks back a lot. Wow. Got himself locked up about it. For sure.

Rubin, who is one of the more flamboyant publicity-seeking lawyers in Miami, is also the lawyer for the Yahweh organization. So they bought him a lawyer. So therefore, he will not say I was sent there to do this and I was under threat for my life. He's going to say, I don't know what you're talking about. His son, Mark, is also a lawyer, contends there's no conflict in representing both the Yahwehs who take no responsibility for the Apalaka shootings and a sect member who's charged with the shootings. He said, quote, Rozier was wearing white robes long before we came along. Oh.

Okay. What does that matter? Beets me. So they talk about all this shit. They say that Yahweh here says he's a, I guess this is about Rozier. He's a product of the American society for 30 years. And if you were to impute, impute.

I think impugn. It's got to be. I-M-P-U-T-E is not a word that I'm. I know. It might be a word, but I don't fucking know. I know impugn. I don't know that one. Impute? Oh, it's a word. What does it mean? I've never heard. I'm pretty good with vocabulary. And impute is one that went past me. Assigned to something by interference from the value of the products or processes to which it contributes. He used it right. If you were to impute the teachings of a people to the actions of this community,

then the institutions of America stand condemned. Huh. Okay. Still, there has been changes at the Temple of Love since the shootings. Yahweh says he now screens new members. And now he's even more scared that the wrong people are going to come in and be police informants. He also said he's toned down the racial rhetoric, and he also grants more interviews. Oh. There is a videotaped interview going on, and they say a Yahweh woman takes notes. There are others in the room. They laugh at Yahweh Ben Yahweh's jokes and listen admiringly as he expounds on the existence of UFOs or the intellectual brilliance of Yahweh children. At the Yahweh Education Center, people have witnessed the children reciting in unison the names of all the countries of the world and all the chemical elements.

I'm impressed with those two things. That's impressive, yeah. To remember that. We've been able to, I mean, who knows, I don't think they have normal school days and all that. I mean, if you keep kids in a warehouse and you can make them really do anything at that point. And that's just the last pages of the encyclopedia and a periodic table on the wall. Yeah, they just memorize shit. I mean, they said, we've been able to accomplish something with our children that America is having problems with, and that's juvenile delinquency.

We have none, says the leader of the cult. Adult delinquency. Yeah. America has a problem with teen pregnancy. We have none. Well, that's not what a lot of people say. America has demonstrated a problem with children disrespecting all adults, including parents. We have none.

Well, yeah, if you threaten to lop their heads off with a samurai sword, kids tend to fall in line, but I don't know if that's the healthiest way to go about it. Yahweh Ben-Ni-Ni-Wi is told of a question over the color of his eyes. They are blue, but he is asked for confirmation. He said, quote, they're like the flames of fire, as the scriptures denote. My eyes fulfill Revelations Chapter 1 verses 13 through 15 So does my hair

So do my very fine brass feet Brass! What the fuck are you talking about? And it doesn't so Doesn't matter the color? They're of fire? Of fire. Like the flames of fire

As the scriptures denote. Yahweh Ben Yahweh has asked Where he intends to take the temple of love His answer goes far beyond the sect said, I intend to take the world to morality. Okay. All right then. February 18, 87.

Okay. Jailed lawyer Ellis Rubin was ordered back into court this morning. Not in connection with his own 30-day contempt sentence. 30-day. What the fuck did he do in there? He'd take his dick out. You got to shit on the... Yeah, you got to tell the judge to fuck himself.

On the defense table? Did he punch a witness? What the fuck do you have to do to get 30 days? Wow. Dade County Judge Arthur Snyder ordered Rubin brought to his courtroom from the Dade County Stockade for a status conference

on the case of the Yahweh sect member Robert Rozier, whose case was scheduled for trial this week. Snyder ordered Rubin to begin taking depositions at the stockade for his defense of Rozier, his fucking lawyer. It's hard enough to do a defense

when the client's in jail. Like every lawyer says when a client is in on no bail, it's so fucking hard to do it, to make a case while they're in there. Imagine the lawyers in jail too. What the fuck, man? Wow. That's insane.

Rozier's charged with first degree murder and that. Now, Ruben's son, Mark, yesterday filed with the U.S. Supreme Court a petition asking if they consider his father's contempt case. The U.S. Supreme Court is going to consider a 30-day contempt case. And in the meantime, delay the rest of the jail term. Wow, Rubin is in jail because circuit court judge Sidney Shapiro found him in contempt for refusing to defend a first-degree murder defendant. Rubin said he objected because his client planned to commit perjury on the witness stand. Oh. Okay.

That's a very gray area there, too. Is that not? You can't suborn perjury as a lawyer that goes against your, you're an officer of the court. You're an officer of the court, so you're not supposed to suborn suborn perjury. But the whole dance is... Yeah, I mean, the whole point is you're creating their narrative. So whether or not it's what you believe, it's what they're saying. It's what they're claiming.

You have to represent that, right? And a lot of murder clients, the lawyer will say, tell me what the fuck happened. And they'll tell them what happened. I killed the guy. I did this and this and the lawyer goes, okay, now we know all of that. How do we get in between all of that? Because my job is to get you out of this. Right.

How do I put that story in between the lines of legality? That's your job. Yeah, that's your job. Well, maybe it was just impossible to do, and this guy's going to lie. And he's like, well, that's not what. Or maybe he was court appointed and didn't want to do the case because he didn't feel like being court appointed. And so he made that excuse and the judge didn't buy it and called him in content because that also happens. You're not allowed to get off a case unless the judge allows you to.

Otherwise, you are tied to that person. Period. You got to make the case for him. You can't just abandon a client that's not allowed in murder cases. Yeah, you have to give them their due process and you have to defend their rights. That's just what your job is. Yep. A couple days later, February 20th, 87.

This went from very few things here and there to every day. There's Yahweh talk in the papers. Like this must have been the talk of Miami at this time. Had to be. Yeah. So this is from the Miami Herald. Yahweh rift, Yahweh's call Rift a mistake. Apparently they've been fighting with some neighbors here.

Cooking and Allie Ryle's neighbors. A Yahweh leader, a code enforcement official, and a neighborhood activist, each called Thursday for a peaceful coexistence between the sect and its Carver Ranch's neighbors and agreed to hold a neighborhood meeting to settle any differences. Some people who live near the Yahweh Temple in the 5,000 block of Pembroke Road have complained that the Yahwehs have blocked an alley in the rear of their compound and continuously have barbecue fires that pollute the air. Constant fires. Perfect. A Broward County Code Enforcement Officer complained that Yahweh members threatened him when he came near. Wow. To tell him to put their fucking tire fire out?

To tell them you're not allowed to do that. This is against code. And they said, fuck off. But a Yahweh leader said Thursday, the group wishes to cooperate with code inspectors and to be a good neighbor to residence. Anyone who felt threatened was mistaken, he said. mistaken. This is Gideon, Israel, steward of the Pembroke Road congregation. He said, there was no confrontation. The inspector who came out misunderstood the entire incident. It's a misunderstanding. He just misunderstood. He came up and people told him to fuck off or we'll

cut your head off, and he took that as a negative, and it was weird. You know, we were trying to be friendly. We meant the head of the serpent. It's in the, it's in the board. It's all in the Bible, but he didn't get it. You know how it is. They said, since May, county inspectors have a Broward County Sheriff's deputy to accompany them when they've had to go near the Yahweh compound where members work, dine, and worship. Inspector Dan Herring filed an incident report that month, alleging that members of the controversial religious group confronted him and told him to hand over his camera after he took snapshots of the code violations near the Yahweh property, which that is county property, that camera. So you're doing a lot right there. counties near the Yahweh property county zoning director said,

the inspector retreated to his car and radioed police. When the police arrived, the inspector drove away without incident. They said he felt intimidated and threatened. That's the spokesman there. When the Carver Ranch's Homeowners Association recently asked the county to clear the alley that runs parallel to and between Pembroke Road and Southwest 18th Street, county officials told residents they would need police protection to do the job. Oh.

We don't care what the fuck you need. Just do it. I pay taxes. Fuck you. Well, we need this. Okay, well, go get it, motherfucker. But needing protection from the sect is crazy. That's what I mean.

Go in there, knock that shit down and kick those people the fuck out of there. Or get protection and do your fucking job. Right on the tree. Taxes, me. Pay to you. Yeah, for public safety. Fix it, yeah. Wow.

But now, Tornees said he believes the deputies won't be needed. Different. On Thursday, Tornees met with Gideon Israel, who agreed to cooperate with any code enforcement. Mesaulton, president of the Carver Ranch's Homeowners Association, noted that many of businesses, not just the Yahwehs, have blocked the alley behind Pembroke Road. He said residents of the unincorporated community are concerned. concerned about the code enforcement throughout their neighborhood, which is bounded by Pembroke Road. They said it isn't so much the Yahwehs. It's just a general complaint in the community. Now, March 3, 87, Yahweh sect pickets over moms jailing.

Oh, because we've got a mom in jail. We don't want that. They apparently picketed the Superior Court at the Cape May County Airport on Monday. why is the court at the airport? I don't know. What the fuck is that? Is it an imported or is it an immigrant person who is there a court? What's that? If they find him guilty, they put him on a plane and send him right back from the courtroom.

Yeah, I do. Are there courts? The bailiff takes him right to gate 27 and puts him on a fucking flight back wherever. What the hell is that about? Are there courts at every airport? The superior court? I don't know. That's crazy.

I mean, not that I know of. There's a court in like stadiums in Philadelphia, if you like stamp somebody in an Eagles game, but not, I never knew of an airport court. I don't know. I don't know. According to Nick Cage, there is no airport jail, so. He did say it. According to what he said. Representatives of the restored Israel of Yahweh, based on Pine Avenue and McKee City,

peacefully picketed at the entrance to the airport throughout the day, carrying signs charging insensitive judge and court threatens to put 10 and 12-year-olds in a detention home. Their protest stems from a matter before the Superior Court, who on Friday ordered the jailing of Nancy Bergham, the mother of four children, because she had not complied with a July order allowing her estranged husband visitation rights. Yeah, that's called kidnapping, yeah, at that point or whatever it is. She also told the court that she would not come.

comply with the order. Well, yeah, if a judge gives you an order and you say, no, you're going to end up in jail probably. More than likely. That's what happens. Ask that fucking lawyer who, you know what I mean? He's sitting in jail trying to put together a murder case for Christen. They told him to do a job and he said no. What do you think he's going to do when he tells you to follow orders? Yeah, court judge fucking orders. Bergen was jailed, quote, until such time that she can present evidence that is sufficient to convince the court that there will be compliance with the previous court order. In other words, all she has to do is comply with the order in the letter out. Just let them see the kids.

Members of the sect alleged that children did not want to visit their father, Raymond Bergen. The court also found that Nancy Bergen had not complied with an order that she arranged mental health counseling for her children. Yeah. The judge stressed that the idea is not to give the children to one parent and turn them against the other. The intent is to see there is cooperation between the parents to keep the kids out of the parents' disputes. We just watched a documentary last night. That's what it was all about. Yeah.

And it was infuriating because nothing happened in this documentary. It was a weirdest thing. We don't know why we watched it. It was two parts, two hours of what's they called? Why the fuck did I watch that? Something about upstairs. These two kids barricade themselves in their room for 55 days. Uh-huh.

Because they don't want to be sent with their father because they said their father molested them. Okay. It's like, it's way too much to get into right now. but it's crazy. It's a fucking crazy story at the end of like, what happened? Nobody knows what happened.

Why did you make this movie? The picketers, who numbered about a dozen, contend that the judge's decision to jail this woman is based on religious persecution. No. No.

Not at all. Happens all the time. Look at family court records. Yeah. He gets to see him. It doesn't matter what you believe. If he kept him from her, I would hope they'd keep put him in jail.

That's what it would have. happens here. Nancy and Raymond Bergen both live in Ocean City but at separate addresses, according to the picketers. There was no answer Monday evening at the telephone number listed to that name in Ocean City. The judge ordered the children placed in their father's custody when he jailed her mother. He remanded the oldest child to the custody of a social service agency when the 16-year-old declined to reside temporarily with his father. That's why they were putting there, not 10 and 12-year-olds, a 16-year-old who doesn't want to go to his dad's house. Wow. March 24th, 1987 newspaper, USA Today.

Here we go. Every hotel in the country is getting this. Black sect Mark's own Passover. They picked their own Passover. Really? Yeah. Passover starts at sundown, April 13th for most USA Jews, but not for Yahweh Ben-Yahu's followers. Today is Passover.

Oh, today. March 24th. We just pulled it out of our ass. hundreds of followers from 16 countries and 1,200 U.S. cities will flock to the Temple of Love in Miami. Is that right? This is bonkers. That's a huge amount of people. Wow.

Now, among this, they go through all the killings and shit that they're tied to. And then Yahweh says, I teach that I am the almighty God. Well, that's convenient. Convenient for you to be the almighty God. huh? So the trial for Robert is going to start here. It's scheduled to start Monday. We're on a Thursday, April 2nd, 1987. They had a hearing where they initially scheduled the trial and all that kind of thing. His trial was supposed to go on, but his lawyer being in jail fucked the whole thing up. April 2nd, 1987, same day, this is from a cop, quote,

I was told to lie about the Yahweh case. What was he told to lie about? An Opelaca cop says he was ordered to falsify records to cover up rotten police work and what's being come to known as the Yahweh situation in the city. What did they fuck up? He said, I just wish I wasn't there when the Yahweh shooting went down. Ever since then, the trouble started, says Officer C.K. Jones. quote a ruddy-faced motorcycle cop

with a reputation for being good on the street and late to work. Jones gulps mylanta from the bottle these days. They just made an 87 cop movie. That's a character in a script. That's literally the introduction paragraph of the action in a screenplay introducing this cop character

who's got like an ex-wife who's breaking his balls. I think that's just diehard. pretty much. He's looking for a ass for him. But close enough. Yeah, yeah, close enough. They mixed a few of the, you know, tropes together. Jones is under investigation for an alleged string of sexual offenses.

What? That's not good. The Opelopaka Police Department says he initiated the investigation to shut him up. Oh, he says that, that they initiated the investigation to shut him up. That's why they're saying he's sexual assaults. They just want to shut him up. According to Jones, according to him, superiors kept him from protecting residents

of the Opelaca tenements occupied by the Yahwehs, and after two men were killed there last October, he says he was ordered to rewrite a police report as a cover-up. Okay. The sergeant, Winston Lampkin, denies any cover-up. He calls Jones a, quote, future prisoner and a desperate man trying to cut a deal. Jones failed to make an arrest in return for sexual favors in the front seat of a squad car, Lampkin says.

In the front seat? That's amazing. Why don't you climb up here so I don't get locked in. I mean, you know, you don't have to go to jail tonight. Wow. He says, this is Jones, I'm innocent. I swear on my father's grave and he's been dead for years. So it's not even a fake grave.

He says he was placed on the midnight shift answering phones on Valentine's Day. He said, all these people know I can burn them. That's why they're scared. He says, what he knows about the Yahweh situation can cost Opelaka millions of dollars and a few police shields. Two lawsuits are pending. One is civil rights case in federal court, the other a $5 million wrongful death case in the state court. Both launch lawsuits hinge on a noon time episode. where there was the shooting.

This was 12 hours before the double murder. It was the day after the Yahweh's first attempt to take over the complex. After making a small down payment, white-robed sect members carrying six-foot staffs began to move to kick the 129 tenements out. Tenants out of the tenements, sorry. Yahweh kicked in the door of apartment number 19, Denise Broussard, 34, says they, says they carted off her furniture

and ransacked her apartment. She said, we called and called and called and called the police, the police, and we couldn't get no response. So Anthony Brown, 28, got a gun and went out to the back alley. Anthony was off by himself and shot the gun in the back

just to get the police's attention. He went out and lit a shot off just so they shot's fired. They got to come for that, right? And he succeeded. Jones was the first cop on the scene. Lampkin, who was his sergeant, a decorated sniper who served in Vietnam, arrived minutes later. Two official versions of what followed exist.

Both were written by Jones. Both were signed and approved by Lampkin. Both reports list identical case numbers the same time, the same place. So he did rewrite the report for sure. They tell dramatically different stories. So do Jones and Lampkin. Jones says everyone inside those apartments was scared to death. You could see it in their eyes.

Jones says the woman tenant pointed out one of the men who kicked in her door. He wanted to arrest him, he says, but Lampkin ordered him not to. Tenant Broussard said the two police officers argued. So the tenant backs up Jones here. That officer Lampkin, this is from the tenant, that officer Lampkin hollered at Jones and told him everything was under control. and then Jones told Lampkin, this is not under control.

Can't you see what's going on? Jones is the only one who tried to help us and Lampkin told him not to. Oof, that's not good. John Riley, the mayor, then the mayor, was on the scene too. The mayor showed up. Why? Opelaca?

I don't know. He says Lampkin referred the tenants referred to the tenants as drugies and dope addicts claiming that the Yahwehs would rid the apartments of drug dealers. The sergeant said, good, fuck them. Let him, fuck them. I'm tired of coming here.

Get the Yawways in there. Yep, I'm tired of coming here and deal with these people. That's what he said. I'm completely abdicating my responsibilities as a police officer. Fuck him. Wow, that's disgusting. Jones wanted to make some arrests and Lampkin didn't want him to. That's the mayor saying that, who was there, by the way.

The Sergeant Lampkin, even though a cop, the mayor, and several tenants all have the exact same story, he has a different story. He said, that's sheer garbage. Shear garbage. He said, he denies arguing with Jones. He said, I don't argue with subordinates. Well, if they say they're not doing what you told them to, then you would argue with them, wouldn't you? Lampkin also denies making derogatory remarks about the tenants.

He knew some of them well. In the early 80s, in fact, he managed the very same apartments. Broussard said that's why he got. all those bad feelings toward us, the tenant said. He knows us and hates us. Jones says Lampkin ordered him at the scene not to file a report. When he returned to the station, he wrote one anyway. It didn't say much.

In 49 words, Jones wrote that the Yahwehs had proper eviction papers, information given by supervisor, he wrote. So that's just, he said, basically, this isn't my words. This is what I was told to put by my supervisor. Hours later, just after midnight, a man knocked on the door of one of the apartment. and said he'd been in a car accident. Anthony Brown and Rudolph Bursard came out to see what was going on, and that's when they were shot. That's how they shot him.

They called him out for something like that. Pussies. The assassin caught him and killed him as he begged for mercy when he ran. That night, Metro... Just let it happen. They let it happen. That night, Metro Police found Robert Rozier hiding in the bushes and charged him with the killings.

They had no idea if he did it or not. They don't know who did it in the bushes. No. Rosier, Jones, says, was one of the men he wanted to arrest for kicking in the door the day before. Sometime after the slings, the time is uncertain. Jones wrote a second report about the initial confrontation. He says Lampkin and Commander Otis Davis ordered him to write it.

He dated it exactly as he had the first report, 1131 a.m. October 29th. In 255 words, it depicts the woman tenant as a victim who couldn't identify the men who kicked in the door. It makes no mention of any proper eviction papers. it says that as many as 70 Yahwehs confronted the tenants. And unlike the first report, it says that the Yahwehs were ordered to leave. Neither report mentions anything about the Yahwehs putting furniture in a van. All this, Jones says, is an attempt to get the police department off the hook to avoid responsibility for what happened. It was written, says former Mayor Riley, quote, to cover the police's ass.

Ha! Period. He said, just because the sergeant signs it, that doesn't mean it's carved in stone. Right. Lampkin says Jones's first report was rejected and it was proper for him to order Jones to rewrite it. Jones says that's nonsense and he said, did commander Otis Davis reject the report and Davis won't say. Chief Floyd Reeves won't say either and he won't let Davis be interviewed, the commander. Since the shooting, Jones has found himself in a heap of trouble.

Someone, it appears, complained that he took advantage of female suspects. Opelaca police investigated. They passed on information to Ray Havens, chief investigator for the Dade State Attorney. No charges have been filed. We just want to be as thorough as we can be, said Havens. We're just fucking with this guy. Lampkin said Jones is looking at hard time.

He says things would have turned out better if the Yahwehs had taken over the apartment. So he's saying what the guy said is true. He's fucking, this guy's an asshole. He said that would take care of the drug problems here. And besides, he says, the two murdered men were, quote, drug dealing, dope dealing low lives who asked for it. They were looking for trouble. Fire him now. Yeah.

After that goes in the paper, if he doesn't get fired the next fucking day, there was nothing. That's insane. You can't say a murder victim, he deserved it. He was asking for it. How the fuck are you supposed to, that's poisoning the jury pool, too. It's also saying that somebody doesn't have the same rights as another person, regardless. Yeah. That's wild.

That's fucking wild. May 17, 87, this will be, we'll finish up here. Terror before dawn, firebombing a nightmarish memory. Here we go. The Palm Beach Post here. Yahweh's suspected but can't be found. This is the Delray Beach bombings here. Police Sergeant Robert Brand says he thinks he knows who threw two dozen.

Molotov cocktails a year ago in a fiery assault that left two children severely burned and four homes burned. 24 Molotov cocktails. Holy shit. A case. When Randy Wagstaff was telling on people, they only threw one into his

apartment. And it made a fucking mess. 24. Brand can show who bought the one court clear glass bottles used in the May 20th, 86 attack. He has two witnesses who say they saw the attackers, even as a report that shows that less than two hours before the attack at Southwest 14th Avenue, a policeman questioned people who are now the prime suspects. Okay.

His problem is that he can't prove it. That's the problem. Or he can't find it. I'm sorry. Evidence implicates members of the close-knit Hebrew Israelites and can't find them. Brand says he believes members of the group firebomb the predominantly black neighborhood and retaliation. for an attack on Yahwehs visiting on a nearby street, he said. Brand is looking only for a handful of group members.

He said he has no evidence that the sect or its leadership ordered the fire bombings. Well, I'm pretty sure. Seems like up there alley, yeah? Seems like a pretty good odds on that one. Through an attorney and spokesman, the organization repeatedly has denied anything to do with the attack. Nevertheless, some residents in the neighborhood say they believe the Yahwehs are to blame for the 230 AM bombing. That's nice. kids are sleeping and stuff.

2.30 in the morning. Wow. Two children were severely burned and spent two weeks in the hospital. Jesus. That's brutal. Three other residents were treated for injuries. Four families were left temporarily homeless. Firefighters arrived and found four homes and flames.

Arsonists through 24 one-court bottles filled with a mixture of gasoline and kerosene. Only half of them exploded. Oh, Jesus. Wow, it could have been way worse. Yeah. The front apartment of a duplex at 39 Southwest 14th Avenue was hardest hit. Two fire bombs exploded in a front bedroom where a nine-month-old Marva Hendrix and her 12-year-old sister Chanel slept. The infant suffered second and third-degree burns over 25% of her body.

That poor kid, after a bomb exploded above her crib spreading a blanket of flames over the child and the floor. Oh, this poor child, Jesus Christ. Wow. What the fuck? That's fucking horrific. Chanel's right side was burned. She and her sister remained in the hospital two weeks. A third child, Gretchenel, 15, was sleeping in another room of the apartment.

She was treated for smoke inhalation. Her parents, Catherine and Marvin Hendricks, were awakened by the attack and rushed the children from the house. The next day, the 10-member Bonneby family fled as flames spread throughout their single family home. Oh, boy. Four other houses along the quiet dead end street were hit. Two of them were damaged and two were unscathed. The arsonist bypassed a house that was vacant, fire department officials said. So it was very targeted.

The unexploded bottles, rags, still stuffed in the necks, were scattered throughout the block of modest homes just east of I-95. Now, the bottles that brand discovered were made by Owens Corning Glass Company and sold to a Miami distributor. Identification numbers on the bottles, the distributor's record show, matched those empty bottles sold to the Temple of Love. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. They marked them specifically.

You get a bottle and it has an identifier on it? Yeah. Well, they can do that with garbage bags. Yeah. They can find the batch it's from and shit. They should have serial numbers, garbage bags. As much as people use those. No shit.

But apparently. these are the bottles that they sell products in, including a grape soda. That's what they sell it in. For five years, Yahwehs had made weekend visits to Del Rey's predominantly black neighborhoods to solicit donations, sell homemade products, and ask residents to join them as they try to, quote, be free from white America, according to the group's leaflets. Residents had accepted the white robe Yahwehs who traveled in white buses with Yahweh, painted in large black letters on the side. but on Sunday, May 18th now, this is after this here, shortly before 8.30 p.m.,

a woman member of the group and a 13-year-old girl who lived in the neighborhood argued in the 100 block of Southwest 14th Avenue. I love this 13-year-old already for arguing. Fuck away for me with this bullshit. This is one block south of the homes that were bombed. The woman accused the girl of stealing a bottle of body oil. The woman hit the...

the girl in the head with a stick, according to police records. Christ. Jesus. Other residents came to the girl's defense. A street brawl broke out. Yeah, if you hit a 13-year-old in the neighborhood, probably going to be a street brawl. And a 17-year-old Yahweh member was knocked unconscious after he was hit in the face with a board.

This is sticks, boards. This is fun. Two days later, a van in a car drove onto the street, one block north of where the fight occurred. Police believed the men were there to avenge the youth's beating. but they turned north instead of south and attacked the wrong block, police said. Okay.

Two men who were driving south on southwest 14th Avenue shortly before the attack told investigators they saw what they thought were police with flashlights getting out of the van and walking behind a house. The two men thought the van's occupants were police tactical team members who patrol nearby neighborhoods and often use a van when raiding drug houses.

The descriptions given by the... The two men were the first solid leads in the case, Brand said. Less than two hours before the fire bombing, Del Rey Police had checked a light-colored van matching the witness's description, parked 10 blocks from the scene of the attack. An officer briefly questioned the van occupants who told them the vehicle had broken down, according to police records. The officer took down a license plate number of the van and the names of the occupants.

The van was registered to a man who belonged to the Yahweh sect. Uh-oh. others in the van also may have been Yahweh members. Well, pretty good odds on that. Probably. After the fire bombing, police stepped up surveillance of the Yahwehs who came to the city less regularly than stopped coming a few months later. Brand went to the Yahweh Temple of Love on 73rd Street in Miami a few days after the fire bombing to ask for help in identifying the man who hit temple member Michael Israel with a board. So that's how they're going to get him in.

Yeah. Once, yeah. Michael Israel was in a wheelchair at the time of the interview and said he couldn't identify the man who hit him. About a week later, we identified a suspect and prepared a photo lineup for Michael Israel to look at. But Michael Israel, who uses the same name as everybody else, never showed up at the Delray police station. Judith Israel told police that Michael Israel couldn't get a ride to the station. So during the interview in Miami, Brand asked Yahweh officials. if he could speak to two men he believed were in the van the night of the fire bombing.

Yahweh members told police that they did not know where the men were or had to contact them. No fucking clue. Now, they're talking about Rozier's trial. They're saying he's not being cooperative at all and refuses to comment Robert Rozier on anything. He said, if he's convicted, this is the brand guy. If he's convicted, there's a good chance he might want to be a little more cooperative. without someone coming forward, it's going to be difficult to make an arrest. But I'm confident that sooner or later something's going to happen.

This is an open case and far from being a dead case. So if they convict him, though, are they hoping to make a deal with him upon conviction? Well, he has two other things. And also in sentencing, you can make a deal as far as, well, if you tell a shit, we'll send you to this place instead of that place. And you'll get, you know, a little better treatment in jail. There's a lot of shit they could promise when it comes to that kind of shit. So sect attorney Rubin said the organization's not responsible for the fire bombings or the Opelaca slings. That's nice.

He's out of jail and given statements. Yeah. This guy. If Naraya Israel is found guilty of murder, he will be excommunicated, the attorney, attorney said. Oh. I don't think that would be a good idea to excommunicate a guy who's got a shitload information about who told him to kill people. Right. Who's convicted of murder for you is not good.

You're going to keep that cat close. That's why when mob guys go to. jail, other mob guys take care of their families. So they won't fucking say anything. There's a reason for that. Hey, we'll take care of your family on the outside. But the Yahwehs shouldn't be admonished if one member did wrong on his own, Rubin said. You don't indict the Catholic Church with the Pope if a member of the public has strayed.

True, but also the Pope doesn't have all of the Catholics living under one roof and telling them exactly how to eat shit and breathe. So a little bit different. All right, we will leave it there. Hey. Yeah, with the defense attorney Ellis Rubin asking to be let off the case. He wants out of this too. He wants out. He's like, I'm done with this shit.

This is crazy. I don't like this at all. So he's asking to be out of this case. He's risking going back to jail for another 30-day bid. Oh, he's going to do his whole time in 30-day increments here. So there you go. There is Robert Rozier, Part 2. kind of a set-up episode

for a whole lot of shit that's gonna go on after this because there's a lot more murders and a whole lot more shit going on with Robert Roseer and this is more to give you like the here is the foundation of everything

where everybody was what everybody's doing, who's in charge, what the cops are up to how the city is not exactly looking to get rid of this Yahweh shit even though they should it's weird as fuck
