It's the first new show that we've done in a while and guess what? The new show? Hell of a lot like the old show Yeah, welcome to last update on the left We are going in this new series based entirely on this magical rectangle in your hand Only on the app bitches that good. Yeah I can't say serving content anymore. No you oh, did you did you already use it all up on our makeover mandate? Oh my Lord, did I. Yes, we really expanded that.

Hi, I'm Henry Zabrowski. I'm Ed Larson. I'm super excited for the new show. This is gonna help me out. I feel like I'm fucking decade behind you all. And so I need this personally. But for the new show, we were tasked with our lords and masters at our advertising companies To say hey like what if you do something fun and different?

We're like what if it's sort of and what we'll do is this thing will update old episodes yeah old topics that we have not like like that have been years since we've topics that we have not like like that have been years since we've now like we can relook at it and kind of a concise fun way that I hope that you like well some as you say Ed you know you're you feel like you're a decade behind in some cases these we're talking about stuff that we spoke of 12 years ago long time ago yeah today's episode in fact the one that we're starting off with was something that we first talked about in I'm pretty sure 2012. Pretty certain.

Yeah, 2011, 2012. Lord Rael. Mr. Lord Rael. Now, Eddie, you don't know who Lord Rael is. I know a little bit. I remember y'all had some weird beef when we were back at the creek. Yeah. I remember you guys always yelling at him.

And I remember seeing a couple videos at the old live shows and stuff. Oh yes, now just first of all, Primer, Raymond Lear is his real name. Raymond Lear is actually not his real name. Is it Raymond Elwood Lear? It is Raymond Howard. Raymond Howard!

Whatever, but Elwood? That's one of the updates that we found out. We found out his real name is Raymond Howard. That's incredible. Lord Rael, cult leader. I'm going to say of a boutique cult. Oh yeah. That started, you know, in United States of America, moved to Mexico.

But where we get involved is somewhere around 2012. We were, we found Lord Rael. I was listening to Coast to Coast Am and I coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to coast to over Israel and we started talking about him. And then this is back when Facebook was something that normal people use. It was fun, it was fun. It was almost fun. And we had a group, like, you know, our Facebook group,

we were like involved in all the time. Well, it was a very small, it was like less, I think it was like 500 people at that point. We knew a lot of the, like we ended up meeting a lot of these people. We ended up becoming friends with some of them that we're still friends with to this day. Like, it was a very cool little group.

And this group infiltrated the Lord Rael Facebook group. So Lord Rael's, because it started with them trying to sneak into our Facebook groups. And then the mods, like, would catch them. And then they would create, because Lord Rael on his Facebook group, they would do these really long, ecumenical-style names that were really funny, like Archduke, blah, blah, blah, which you're going to hear a couple today. And so our people would make fake ones and get all the dirt on them and then just send

us all of the stuff from the inside of his cult. Yeah. And because it's one of those like very, it's one of those harmless cults, like completely and totally harmless. Well, so far. So far. And mostly it's, well, it is harmful to a lot of their credit scores. And I think it's also extremely harmful to any sort of regular employment.

Yeah. Now, is it a sexy, sexy cult? No. Well, we definitely had some questions about that when they moved to Baja, California, because it seemed like when they moved to Baja California, because it seemed like when they moved to Baja California, it was very small here in America. It's because they're really into Baja Blast. Yeah. I mean, he looks like...

Dude, this is before Baja Blast. Lord Rael looks like he trains for a marathon using Baja Blast. And so they moved from America. And it's very simple. We're like, this guy, Lord Rael. Rael is a truncation of the name Raymond Elwood, which is that's his. Elwood is his middle name. I think he changed his name to Raymond Lear, but he was born Raymond Howard. But Rael is a truncation of it.

About 10 people started following him, and he started putting out these videos. He started putting out like after a massively destructive weather event, he would put out a video saying, I was the cause behind that because nobody is believing that I am the new Messiah. I am the Messiah! Yeah. But what he did... Like the Jackson, Mississippi, remember the Jackson tornadoes? Joplin.

Joplin. The Joplin. Joplin. The Joplin, Missouri tornadoes. He took full credit for that. And the reason why he decided to destroy the city of Joplin, Missouri was because people were calling him fat on YouTube. This is the main issue with Lord Rael, which is why it was so fun to engage with Lord Rael, because he is a petty god.

And he loves his body. And he doesn't want you to roast him at all. So there's no way he's going to get remotely upset about the fact that he looks like if Cherry Garcia was a person. Lord Rollo. Yes. And we're going to get to the update. For the longest time, the only footage,

the only video footage of Lord Rael was a five second clip of him riding on a horse yes in his full because he has a costume and every is very long gray hair a big beard and he wears he's grown into the Messiah look well he's all gray well he's all great he's used to die the beard and the hair yeah but he's afford it anymore. But he's also real fat now. Like he is so fat. That must have been a strong horse. And I will say, there's nothing wrong with it.

Because I actually think, weirdly, he looks good. I think he looks better with some meat on his bones. When he was skinny, he looked like a criminal. Because hey, guess what? He was a criminal. Yeah. He was arrested. This is just incredible stuff. Him and his mother went and kidnapped his ex-girlfriend

and kept her hostage using furry handcuffs. And then finally, either she got away or they let her go, one of the two. And so Ray and his mother Like fled to a local gym. I don't know why they went to the gym. That's the only time he ever went Yeah, the why the why yeah, and so they went there and they called the police to try to get ahead of the story They called the police and they're like no no, no, no, this woman kidnapped us. She was assaulting us.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I knew then, I was the victim. And they think you without. But this is- Used handcuffs from Spencer's. Yes, Lord Spencer, my main saint. The one that protects me from my own mother. This was before he was Lord Rael.

This was a couple of years before. And the funny thing about it is that no one really knows how the Lord Rael thing started, like where he started from, how he got followers. He just appeared on YouTube one day. He appeared on YouTube with this like message to the world Saying that I am the Lord God and then people start calling him fat making fun of him My favorite is his second video is it starts with him going

Do we play any of it yeah, so we can get into he's talking here we go Yeah, this is it. Yeah, this is what I said This is his this is his new video so you can kind of hear what he taught what we're fucking dealing with Sanctuary sanctuary, that's cuz he looks like quasi, but brothers and sisters And that is what you are my brothers and sisters, oh he dropped the British yeah, he dropped the British! Yeah, he dropped them. I have... ...a love... ...for the people at this temple...

...in this room... ...that I cannot... ...properly express. It looks like your mom's boyfriend that you don't want to have anything to do with. And I have a thankfulness... He's filming this on a blackberry This has been an amazing year in so many ways we have We have come so close to Our goal I've gone from double D to double E

I've gone from double D to double E. We can see more than just the light at the end of the tunnel. We can see home. Shut up! Shut up! Just shut the fuck up! He's gotten so fat that his beard doesn't fit. Yeah. He's got George Lucas neck. Wait, this is Lord Rael like, today. Yes.

Or at least this is Lord Rael four years ago Jesus Christ, all right Yeah, I don't know it's it is total nonsense, but that's that's vamping That's one of the things that we found fascinating about this guy is like where did he come from? How because it was early days and when the internet was becoming ubiquitous, when it was becoming like a part of everyday life all the time. Imagine a imaginary world where they gave you money to make web series. But that's what, because Henry was the one that brought it to us, is that it was an internet

cult. It was just an internet cult. If I remember correctly, I think that they were decentralized for a while. Everybody was just sort of all over America. He was in Chicago doing his thing. I think he had like one guy. And then when they finally got together,

that was in Baja, Mexico. And that, I think, is where some of the sexy stuff started, because they started getting defectors because that's what happens when the sexy stuff starts, people get their feelings hurt. Oh yes. Yeah, people get their feelings hurt real bad. And we did have one guy, like one of our Facebook group

members did end up talking to one of the defectors. Yes. And then he eventually returned to the cult and stopped talking. So when we last left the cult, so you could go find her old episode The Lord Rayell actually don't even know where the fuck is somewhere in the ether. Yeah, it's episode something something It's in the first hundred episodes so yeah

We don't even fucking listen to that stuff because I was like a lot many many lifetimes ago Yeah, but remember for you. It's today for us. It's 1312 13 years ago. Yeah, imagine who you think about who you were 12, 13 years ago. Some of you were like nine years old. Oh, it's strange. It's really very strange. But now what we've learned is that so now we left him in 2012. Yeah. When he was sort of like we were, he was actively engaging. Oh yeah. Wow. Episode 78. Yeah. Damn. But we, he had some had some, obviously we kind of covered it lightly. And like even now we're still kind of only picking up the bits and pieces we could find about him.

But you know, so let's take us from there. We know when really when we were talking about Lord Rael, it was when he had just moved to Baja. He had brought a small group of people from America to Baja, Mexico, where they were living in like a shanty town Well part of the reason why they went to Baja Mexico is because he was he had a warrant up for his arrest Cabo's incredible Go to a place for a cult Cabo is okay. I mean, it's not too bad Yeah, it's not too bad at all. So we're gonna pick back up in 2012

Okay, after right after we had our episode in 2012 and we're just kind of kind of go through a timeline here All right of what has happened with Lord Rael and his followers up until a couple years ago Can I ask a quick question? Of course, how many followers did he have like seven? Oh? Party Localized he had probably I'd say it is biggest he might have had a hundred people Probably there was a there was a big chunk of people that were just on the Facebook group kind of I think that there was a LARPing section yeah where people were kind having fun, engaging with all of it on the internet, the drama that would come out of it. I think people liked to deal with it.

But then once it became physicalized and he brought people to Baja, it shrunk because obviously it wasn't great. They went down there, it was poor conditions where they were. They weren't getting a lot of food. I imagine that you had to go and you have to deal with, you are meeting Lord Rael on Facebook. But then when you go to Baja Mexico, you meet Raymond. Yeah.

And then you have to deal. And Raymond can't afford the bottled water. No, no, no, no. Raymond is not. He is not ready. Yeah. Oh, and this is one other thing that I forgot that we definitely must put into play before we start on the current timeline. He claims to be protected by the Knights Templar

Yeah, yeah again coming back from the the Anders Breivik series that recently dead Yeah, but the funny thing is that you can only become a Knights Templar. You must await an email. And then once you have the email, then you may become a protector of Ryan. Do you think that it's one of those where they found they saw the male demon and that's why they thought the Knights Templar was satanic? Well, the other thing too, is that in when he was in Chicago, you remember the Guardian Angels in New York? Yes.

Oh yeah. Yeah, the Guardian Angels were a group of people who got together in the 70s. They had the hats. Yeah, they were a vigilante group that wore berets and all that shit. They had uniforms. But there were also chapters in other cities. And there was a Chicago chapter. Because like, I mean, he seriously is is he's Raymond Elwood from Chicago.

Yeah, he's from Chicago. Yeah, and he was in the Guardian Angels and there's a someone who was doing some investigation on Lord Rael got a hold of one of the Guardian Angels that Raymond Lear worked with. Henry, I want you to read this Chicago man's estimation. His name is Raymond Elwood. He was my boss in the Guardian Angels. I started in 81. The Knights came to him after that UFO did what it did to Jerusalem.

He had no clue what's happened to him. They did this to fool us. It's the Knights Templar. I was a member of them when I met Raymond again. He is a host. No shit. He has a colostomy bag. He got it years ago when he was abusing drugs.

He has a big history. He has a big history. So that's, so Raymond Elwood. Imagine someone with a colostomy bag trying to stop you from doing a crime. Yeah. Ah. Hold on, hold on. Raymond L would imagine someone with a colostomy bag trying to stop you from doing a crime And Lastly before we get into the current timeline He claimed to be like a high-ranking Freemason at one point before he was Lord Rael

Oh sure, but the same guy who investigated him looked up like I mean He was able to get a hold of like some Masonic records. Yes, like when Raymond Elwood was supposedly a part of the Freemasons and Raymond Elwood was suspended for non payment of dues Because you can't make God pay dues I was blackballed from the Freemasons for trying to tell the truth Society coming out just to be like this guy's not part of us supposed to really disclose our membership that fat fuck has got nothing to do with us we actually are looking for

honestly That fat fuck has got nothing to do with us. We actually are looking for honestly And the reason why we keep doing that voice and why it's so different from the one you just heard He used to speak in this accent used to roll is all like I am Lord I'm trying to find the og videos or because because you remember his YouTube channel here it is. Here it is, I'm sending this to you right now, Rob. This is the fifth Seal video when he did, because remember his YouTube channel is Christ Has Returned. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Christ Has Returned. The other thing about him is that they don't really

release shit all that often except for Obsessive videos about the Torah codes. They love the Torah codes. There's a lot of people. I'm kind of fascinated about the Torah codes It's interesting. I was talking about it with that because Jake Young was staying at my house We're talking Jake Young from Wizard in the Bruiser. Yes, and we were talking about the tunnels underneath the synagogue in New York. Yeah, and you're kind of talking about that tunnels underneath the synagogue in New York. And you're kind of talking about that whole concept of it was very, very interesting because he was talking about the concept of like the schism that was happening in that specific group and how one of it was kind of this offshoot of an extreme group that believed a former rabbi. Like he was such a good dude and they liked him so

much. Eventually they began to think that he was a messiah. And then there was, because he told all of them, he was the only one who knew the secret name of God. And he could, this was from back in the day. And so the secret name of God gave him all these powers, because that's in the Torah. So they have this idea that there's like this super, super, super secret name.

Jehovah. That's not it. No, that ain't it. Ain't it? JZ doesn't even know the name. It's not Yahweh either even know that yeah, yeah Yeah, you know like it is literally a it's a very secret name And so they but that's why I also find Torah codes to be fascinating well Torah codes is a if I'm understand this correctly

I might be wrong on this, but it is assigning numerical values to letters. Yes, and the Torah its numerology Yeah, it's numerology and by assigning assigning these numerical values, you can figure out secret messages. You ever see Pi? Yes. Remember how they talk about how they're trying to find the secret name for God in Pi? Yeah, Pi is a very Jewish movie. Yeah, that's the Torah code. And these people are obsessed with the Torah codes.

Okay. My children. You are growing weary of the weight. You tire of the struggle against the unworthy, the wanton and the wicked. You wish me to enact my final judgment upon them and be done with it I do not blame you for this it still only has eight like eight point eight thousand views very soon nine years but not until more of them have tasted the suffering that they have wrought upon those who have loyally served me. I'm out into the martyrs have completed their tasks. Excuse me while I microwave my dinner. Just a bit longer my children.

For what must be done, must be done. For what must be done, must be done. Must be done. Okay, that's good. Yeah, that's my favorite. For what must be done, must be done. Someone bring me my sweatpants. I hear the ding of the microwave, but wait for I must wait an additional three minutes for it to cool down. Pierce! What must Pierce do? The bed of the mac and cheese! To let out all of the steam inside before it burns your precious tongue

Let's get to the timeline what the fuck this guy has been up to since we covered him in 2012 he appointed Cardinal Richard rough as prime cleric of the International Congregation of Lord Rael Guy who died standing next to John Holmes Rick Dick rough yeah Guy who died standing next to John Holmes Yep dick rough has been his right-hand man forever Like that's been the guy that he's the true believer the guy that's never faltered and following Lord Rael Hi, my name is penis soft Dick ruffs, my brother. And so from 2012 to like 2015, not a lot happened. Yeah, he was taking a break. I think he was taking an easy... Down in Baja. He was down in Baja. He might have been contemplating

giving it all up. Maybe for three years. But he just kind of, I feel like it coasted. It's weird because the Baja contingent is still around Oh, yeah, very much. So they're still all there. Oh, we're gonna talk about weirdly successful in that way We're gonna talk about the travels of these people because they don't stay in Baja. No in 2015 Richard Ruff was revealed through the Torah code and this was something that he wrote himself Revealed to be the reincarnation of Moses. Yeah. Yeah.

He creates Torah codes using the keys to the Bible. It's software that he created himself, sells it for $99. Oh, that's it? To find out the secrets of the Torah? $99. That's all. That's it? But it's been verified to be fake by independent rabbis.

But he will also create codes to defame anyone who challenges his authority. Anyone who says that he's full of shit, he can make up codes to say that the Torah says they're wrong. Hey, that's a fucking, that's the power. That's his actual skill. Yeah. That is less than $10 a commandment. But in 2016, they moved from Baja to Jerusalem. Yeah, this is wild. This is a whole sidestep.

Maybe he might have been looking around to see where they were going to go next, because obviously they're not welcome anywhere they go. No, like wherever the crew would be like, they're not super welcome, because they're very difficult. Yeah, it's like when you pretend to be a god, it's like a bad thing or something. It's just hard to keep up. Yeah, people don't like it. And so once they moved to Jerusalem, they of course started seeing signs everywhere

because they're looking for signs everywhere. And it's Jerusalem. Yeah, it's Jerusalem. If you're gonna look for religious iconography, yeah, it's their tourism district. Yeah. I put the whale in whaling wall. Whoa!

Whoa! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! So in 2016, there was a big sunspot, and this sunspot, This is ripe for them. This is so, the sunspot took the shape of a heart which fulfilled a secret Catholic prophecy of the Sacred Heart of Christ.

And they took that as a sign because it occurred about two weeks after they arrived in Jerusalem, which tells them, hey, we're on the right track here. Because that was one of the things that we really debated in our episode, if I remember correctly, if Ray and Richard Ruff are in on it together. See, this is a, it's so hard with cult leaders because he's been in character for a long time. And we always kind of, I remember one of the first times

we really had that significant debate was during the Jonestown episodes. We were talking about like, how far outside is a cult leader? Like how far afoot do you have to keep out to know that you're what plot line you're keeping the crew on? And I do think they are in it together now. Now, upon relooking at it, I think that because he's obviously found a way to make a living.

Yeah. Being Lord Rael. And so he must have some base. And he's obviously I'm just going to put it out there, not the detail guy. No. So I think he needs IT. He needs support. It is a lot for him. I don't know if he's doing it all on his own. He needs a wrangler. He needs a wrangler. Cause that's what every cult leader needs is you need a wrangler. We've got the enforcer. You got to have the hand of the king. Like Jim Jones had like four wranglers. Yeah.

Did they kill like a senator or something? Yeah, four wranglers. Yeah. These? Yeah. At least. Did they kill, like, a senator or something? Yeah, they killed a senator. Yeah. But that was just his... That was the rank and file that killed the senator.

Yes. Oh. As far as the people in Guyana itself, like, he had a few women that were just these die-hard... Ride or die. Like, they're fucking... They did anything that he said. And, of course, there's debate as to how far Jim Jones kept them away from his ultimate plan,

but there's also some theories, or at least, because that's the thing with Jim Jones, you can really only theorize what was going through his head. Oh, of course. And it's very possible that he got so far away from anybody that he lost the thread completely. Yeah, I think- And he just, this paranoia, like all the drugs,

all the paranoia, Yeah, I think. And he just, this paranoia, like all the drugs, all the paranoia, everything, and just, and having so much power over so many people in such an isolated place that he just lost it. He, you know, they killed the senator. They knew, like, he knew that the game was up for him. And so he, since he was so, he had this group of people that was so behind him, they were able to force,

because that's the thing about Jonestown, is that most of those people were forced to drink the Flavorade slash Kool-Aid. It was both, by the way. They had a gun to the back of their heads. I listened to the whole thing once, just out of sheer curiosity, and it was depressing. No, I've listened to it multiple times.

I have it on vinyl. Oh, there you go. He loves it. It was actually their wedding song. I'm trying to see. It was a long ceremony. It very much was. And so on May 24, 2016, this is about two months

after they arrive in Jerusalem, an unscheduled, egg-shaped blood moon appears above Jerusalem, fulfilling- Like a clot in his eyeballs. That fulfilled a secret Catholic prophecy called the Red Egg. And according to the return of Christ, which by the way, the return of Christ is the book that Lord Rael wrote, which we didn't have time to read, unfortunately. I just didn't want to buy it. I just didn't want to give him any money. This plus the sunspot further confirmed and validated the Sacred Heart of Christ prophecy,

which again proves, hey, we're doing the right thing. I'm looking at this now. You can't even really get the book. No, I imagine that they're all gone. Yeah, I think that he just, oh no, because you know why? It's by Angeles Domino. Angeles Domino. That's another one of his terms.

Yeah, he wrote, he has many different aliases. One of them is Angeles Domino. Here we go. This is the this is the official blurb of the return of Christ This book provides an all-encompassing truth with undeniable evidence Christ has returned and it's walking the earth today from reports of Christ descending over the Temple Mountain And it's walking the earth today. From reports of Christ descending over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the UFO over Jerusalem, to a plethora of prophecies being fulfilled within the Abrahamic faiths including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and many other ancient beliefs. The red egg, the heart, so on and so forth. With the intriguing Torah notes verified by mathematical statistics, the Bible's secrets are now being revealed

as computers decode the ancient scriptures, revealing the identity of the Messiah. Multiple corrections are provided to errors that have crept up into modern Bibles, including simple translation errors, alterations of scriptures, and outright deceptions. So he doesn't believe in the Bible. No, he said, well, his version of it. Yeah. This was written by Cardinal Richard Ruff. Yeah.

Cause it's like Taylor, you know, it's just like, you know, the Bible wasn't going well for Rael. So he's, he's got a, he got Rael's version. Of course. But well, because he has, it's the same thing that so many cult leaders say over the years, like I talked to God, the pope doesn't talk to God. The pope is a false prophet. The pope is a fraud.

I'm the one- I mean, I agree with him there. Well, of course. But I'm the one, he says, I'm the one that talks to God and I'm the one that says what the Bible should really say because the Bible has gone through so many translations over the years that it's, so much of its meaning has changed from the original text. And so he can say whatever the fuck he wants to say. He can say that when it was translated from this version to the King James version, this

was lost in translation. And what it really means is what I say it means. And of course, what he says it means always feeds back into what is best for him. Oh, of course. And this I love this is the the forward of I'm looking at this now. This would lead to the guy who wrote the forward is a guy named John Griffin, the second who's the director and founder of Weenie Research. And he looks like a penis. Weenie Research. It might be Weenie Research. It might be.

But he said that he was like the co-author of this book, Richard Ruff, who also chose to delve into controversial subjects that most would avoid he risked his social and professional Reputation by publicly posting his research for the public and other experts to review as any true transparent and honest researchers often do Wow, it's just I think that's just cuz it's in the book. I think oh, yeah, it's coming hard for a lot of Jewish concepts Yeah, that's what that's usually how it happens. That goes over well in Jerusalem. They just like, they're speaking.

Speaking of which, on June 16th, 2016, three months after they arrived, members of the clergy were arrested in Jerusalem. Yeah. They were reported to have stayed there illegally, threatened the state of Israel, stalked rabbis and generally causing a nuisance. Yeah, they love that over there. Whoa, dude, this is fucking hilarious. The whole preface by Captain Richard Ruff of this whole thing is very, very funny is

that he was taken, he said that he himself, when he was working on Bible codes in his own way, he plugged in the name Raymond Lear into his own Bible code computer program. And the first thing that came up is the words, he is the Messiah. Wow. Yeah, buddy. Well, after they got arrested in Jerusalem, like it almost went from harmless to mass suicide because authorities were contacted by family members of the cult who got word from members of the cult that they were planning a mass suicide because Lord Rael did not show

up for Purim where he was allegedly going to be announced as Messiah as foretold by Cardinal Kelly Patrick via what else but the Torah codes. I find it interesting that it was Purim was the holiday he chose. He chose Purim again and again. Is it Purim or Purim? Purim. Purim. Yeah he chose Purim again and again and again as his special day. Well it says that it's a very he loves this day I know that it's like it's like a celebratory day. It's a celebration. People wear costumes a lot but would you it's a major holiday he loves this day. I know that it's like a celebratory day. It's a celebratory day. People wear costumes a lot, but it's a major holiday, right?

Yeah, I mean, they all are. Yeah, well, some would go, like, they have like a, there's a get-levels. It's a happy one, it's not too serious, you don't have to fast or anything. Yeah, it's like a fun one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the day that all of his people were arrested,

Lord Rael tweeted, "'Den denial was bad enough now you persecute my saints my torrent my torrents torrents torrents has been exceeded dude you guys got to read the return of Christ I'm looking at this right now I can't believe we didn't have all Raymond Elwood Lear this is he wrote he writes in the third person Raymond Elward Lear. This is he wrote, he writes in the third person. Raymond Elward Lear was conceived during the blood moon tetrad that occurred in alignment with the Hebrew feast calendar. He was conceived in the blood moon eclipse that fell on the Hebrew holiday of Sukkot. And then thus was being brought

into this world just after the reunification of Jerusalem. His father, his biological father, was William Collins, a Rosicrucian of the famous Collins dynasty, which is directly descended from King David. There is much speculation on the internet about the Jewish Collins bloodline being the topical Illuminati family. We maintain that what it actually makes it special is its directivitic lineage. And it says here he was born to the humans, Ruth Alice Smith, but he said mostly he was born in the streets of Chicago where he found himself fighting far more than just well-armed street gangs.

Mm-hmm. He was born by, he didn't mean the blood moon eclipse, he meant the blood moon eclair. And also in Chicago, before he was Lord Rael, he had like four failed runs for office. Oh, this is what it says. He was a libertarian. He was working for the Guardian Angels and the public saw him as the only incorruptible man in Chicago. Wow.

Wow. What years was that? 90s, like early to mid 90s. Yeah. Yeah. As you can see, he's getting a little older. Yes. But he's got to be in his 60s.

Yeah, somewhere around there, yeah. But by the way, speaking, you know, I mentioned the pope earlier. On July 20, 2017, he did lay claim to Vatican City. It is his. It's going to ram. Yeah, so don't get in his way. He's coming for it.

You know what? Give it to him. Yeah. Do you remember? See what he does. New him. Do you remember? See what he does. New management. Dude, I actually forgot about this, that he was like somewhat involved with the murder

or something with his stepfather because they said that he came for his stepfather, killed his mother and he said they, because that's why he left America. He said he jailed both him and his elderly mother on false charges, all to keep him out of office. And he said that his false persecution and imprisonment were prophesied in Matthew, blah, blah, blah. But that's why, according to him, Raymond was then, quote, unquote,

secretly removed from the US. And during January of 2011, he was kept in, quote, the international zone between the US and Mexico. That doesn't exist. There is no neutral area. Even like on top of the wall. It does not exist. You are one of the others depending on the butt cheek.

Well in 2017 we all know what was becoming real big that year. Cryptocurrency. Oh yeah. Oh shit. So on August 2016, 2017, Rael publicly declared possession of Earth's gold and silver and introduced a new monetary instrument called Godcoin. Yeah, Godcoin! Godcoin is in favor of a universal gold and silver backed currency system that provides

abundance for all who are found worthy, along with providing a social safety net that will prevent falling into poverty. According to Lord Rael's website, Godcoin, it is the only authorized currency of the new kingdom. That's Godcoin.gold. .gold. This is another scam. All these guys, all these Christians are starting to find the Bitcoin now.

It's like a new scam and he's doing it. He actually kind of got way early on it I'll say this for Lord Rael. He understood the power of the internet early he did and then he could build a Sustainable niche like boutique cult that can make him have a living. Mm-hmm. That's all you need on the internet Yeah, that's what they say is that being say. Being early though is worse than being late. Always. Yeah. If you're too early, you might as well have not done anything at all.

Well, people talk about us, because they say that you always find the corpses of pioneers at the footsteps of others on their back. Yes. But on his website, when he talks about Godcoin and how big it's going to be he says, Dominion is not subtle. God coin would be the only authorized canoe currency of the new kingdom. Very soon buying and selling will not occur without accepting the new coin of the realm. He fully admits that it is the mark of the beast but in a good way. In a good way.

The mark of the beast is for a very good way. The mark of the beast is that for a very long time, Christians have been preaching that the mark of the beast was something evil and something to be avoided at all costs. They did not know what they were speaking of. The second beast of Revelation 13 is Lord Rael. And any true theologian knows that the Bible uses the word beast to describe leaders, not disparage them. So the Lord is called the Lamb. The Lamb is a beast, therefore the Mark of the Beast is a good thing. And he says it is the Lord who creates a monetary system that eliminates crime by tracking and tracing all financial transactions, thus removing the ability to commit money-based crimes, and without the ability to commit crimes motivated by money, no more crime.

There you go. Yes! Get rid of it. Yes, that's easy to do. Also, lambs aren't beasts. No, they're animals. Goats are, you know, maybe. Goats are beasts, yeah.

What rough beast. Even like a sheep isn't a beast. No, a sheep is not a beast, no. Yeah, yeah. Do I buy this paperback of the return of Christ? Paperback? Yeah, buddy, you can get it in print. Do I buy this paperback of the return of Christ paperback yeah buddy you can get it in print do I buy this do I have this in my home no do I give this out for gifts at Christmas that oh my god do I give you money yeah bro this definitely great white elephant all of

the purchasers are his followers of course they're all like reviews and they put their little like because they all have little badges that they put on it Wow, I mean he's gonna get a notification that you bought it. Yeah, he's gonna know but he's we get it sent to the PO box Yeah, he's gonna get an email and he's just gonna go Another We could have lunch today Taco for me one two fish taco for me, one two fish tacos for me. And by the way, if you want Godcoin, the only way you can earn Godcoin is by working for the crown or crown licensed private company.

Oh, so he's very much looking at this as a theological dictatorship. The currency will be valid for all legal purchases, including purchasing leaves from the Tree of Life to remain alive and healthy while in service to the Crown." So he's just going to be like shit from Michael's? I think because basically what he's doing is he's creating like Disney bucks where you have to buy Disney bucks when you get into Disney so you can buy stuff at Disney. Yes. Yeah.

But they're more expensive, but then it's actually worth. Yes, exactly. So Raymond Elwood, um... Oh, this book is all Torah codes. Oh, yeah, you don't want that. This Torah code's shit stupid. What is it, just not ones and zeros? It's just all saying, it's all him proving all of his various, it's what he's doing,

it's like some information, but most of this is straight up just his proof that the things that he say are gonna happen, happen. Is it written left to right? No. He can't do that. But this came out fucking right before COVID hit. Yeah, it did. But by the way, Kelly Patrick, that I mentioned earlier, he has a LinkedIn

where he lists the entire corporate structure of the Lord Rael Empire Richard Ruff is CEO Kelly Patrick is COO and the CTO chief tactical officer is Bishop Samuel Grenier who was the Scottish judo champion in 1980 Yes, that's right. I thought they had a judo champion. They also had an NFL player for a hot second There was a very actually oh man man. I don't know. He was an American like NFL player Who came out like Lord rail was Adam Waymo for like just a little bit? He was like on ESPN. Yes, Adam Waymo was this guy. This is back in the day 2014

Yeah, cuz added this guy came out and said like hey Lord. Rael is the Messiah I follow Lord Rael now and he got fucking cut Then he headbutted the wall. Yeah This is according to Adam Waymo I have joined with the unstoppable force who remains victorious Christ Jesus Yeshua Lord Rael God Jehovah I am he has everything you want him to be because he loves you all so much. It's all in caps I can't even explain his love you can only experience it So much, it's all in caps. I can't even explain his love. You can only experience it. You guys wonder how I do it? I take no criticism, I stand and say, it smiles from Christ. Jesus who stretches me, all glory to him.

Cut. What was he put the Vikings? Seahawks. Seahawks. Yeah, a very minor player, but yeah, I think it was- I never heard of him. I think it was his rookie year too. So it's just like he is. Yeah. Cause he left the, he left the, uh, scouting combine. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. Which he said he could leave the scouting combine. And then when he left, his defiance would be met. It's Lord Royale said that they will then definitely put you on the Seahawks. And then it was hard as that if you're not at the combine though, you can't be seen by the Seahawks. I mean, what's wrong with Raelle? This was Bunny.

Yeah. That said he left there. It's cause he's still, it's just weird. He's bad at it. Yeah. He's not good at it. Yeah, that is the thing is that he had a really good idea and really bad execution.

Like that was his biggest problem. He just doesn't know how to execute. By the way, what is the Jubilee birthday? Is that 75 I believe the Jubilee birthday is 50 I believe it's a I'm excited. Yes 50. Yeah 50. So, okay. He's actually not that old I mean, I think he might be lying. He might be like he said he turned 50 in 2018. No way Yeah, I do that fucking guy. It's like shit. I don't think he's taking care of himself He might be out. He said he turned 50 in 2018. No way. He might be.

Did you see that fucking guy? He looks like shit. I don't think he's taking care of himself. No. And in 2018, the Gary, Indiana, Parole District Facebook page posted a wanted poster of Raymond Elwood for absconding parole. Oh yes. And on January 10th, 2019, Lord Rael issued his Pentecost address to the world and announced announced the end begins now.

2018? Twenty eight, 2019. Twenty nine. Yeah, that was the last time. And then he was really ramping up again. He was kind of right on that one. Well, he was, well, he was ramping up. This was hard.

Is that like, if you just keep saying it, eventually something bad is going to happen. Did he claim that COVID was him? Yes. We'll get to that here in a second. Okay. Oh, and this is a funny one. February 27th, 2019, they said this guy, Michael Hoare, he self-realized that he was the cult's returned prophet Elijah.

Wow. Self-realized that on his 32nd birthday. He's been a part of the cult since 2016. Previously, the cult's Elijah, Oprah. Whoa! The Gora had been the Elijah before. She's so hard to book. Yeah.

Popra. Popra, yes! She's got to do! And on Purim 2019, Raymond Lear was anointed King of Kings in Rosarito, Mexico at the Hotel Calafia. Did you actually, did you see that on pay-per-view or no? I didn't check it out. I was too busy getting my dick sucked by this old man in a cavern.

Oh, and I didn't, I forgot this. Kelly Patrick is a woman. She was revealed as the bride of Christ through a Torah code. Whoa! The Torah code is, indeed she is the bride, Kelly P. So they actually, so he says that the fucking Torah code, like, knows people's specific names. It knows, the Torah code knows everything. So you can go and it'll be like, Henry, get the poster of the day. Like if I want to find out what I'm going to eat that day, I just go to the Torah and I just like flip through a bunch of numbers.

I think you can do anything with it. At least they do anything with it. Kelly Patrick was a bishop, correct? Yes. That's more progressive than the Catholic Church. I know. I know. I know. Again, broken clock.

Well, the big thing about these guys is if we can go to 2020, on January 10th, when the CDC announced that the coronavirus pandemic had begun, it was exactly one year. And this is actually true. It's actually one year after Lord Rael said that the end begins now But then it's funny because it's if it was 368 days it would not have worked. Yeah, it was three. It was like the the year mark. He you know, he's just like

That's it! That's the way in! Yes! Yes! I was kind of hoping we'd see a weird star or Biden would fall down. Last minute fucking... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been a year. It has been a year. Yeah, it was a fucking buzzer beater, man. Do you think he knew it from his iPhone photo memories? Oh my god, it has been a year. Oh wow. And from there on, like they just kept saying, yeah, COVID was us, COVID was us. This is, well, they're saying like COVID was the sign.

COVID is the, you know, that is the sign that the end has begun. And he, you know, and the more people that died, the happier he was. Like he got fucking psyched when 400 people died in indium one day. Well it's cause then he's just like, now we reap the benefits. And it's like, it still hasn't paid out. Kiss the holy pangolin. Have you ever eaten bat? Yeah, so come closer this bat's coughing. And you may not be surprised to hear that he is anti-vax.

No, why? Why? But he's, the funny thing is they're also anti-testing. Yeah, they refuse to even test for COVID-19. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's really not into it. But he would go and like, he got baptized, he got rebaptized. He got rebaptized.

In the Catholic Church? No, in the ocean. It is the funniest baptism I've ever seen. It is Lord Rael, who is, when I say he's fat, I mean he has one of those incredible massive Santa Claus bellies. Yeah, it's just like, it's the bad fat. It's what I have.

It's just this huge, gigantic belly. These four guys take him out into the ocean It's at sunset and one of them is holding like a flashlight to make sure that the iPhone they're filming it on captures the whole thing God and Lord Rael, of course as we heard he has dropped the British accent completely I think he's just this is like this is just not I can't do this Yeah, and then he lies down in the ocean the fucking waves come over him and you can tell he's struggling to get up He's like a turtle on his back. Yes, especially once he's wet It's great and it takes three guys to get him back up again, you know, like when they have to move a dolphin Yeah, that's how it felt first. They started to roll them back into the ocean and they're

like, no, no, it's right. He's a guy. Also the what's funny. This is a little note. Okay. If you're going to do a big cult ceremony and you're going to film it and you want to appear mysterious and inscrutable, this is a little tip I'm going to give you. Steam your linen. I don't take you, unfortunately, I'm sorry. All right. And I understand this phenomenon because every single time we get an email, but us mispronouncing something and then we get like an email where you've like, you've stopped everything. You've stopped the whole episode that we've done like 25, 30 hours of work on just because there we misonounce a thing and then you don't like listen to the rest of it, right? Like I understand that now

because I'm watching the Colt video and all of the sheets are obviously fresh from packaging. And it's like, you gotta steam out these creases. Gotta steam out the creases. I see the Kmart. You know what I mean? I don't see, there is no, I'm not getting Mormon tabernacle vibes from this.

No. Oh, and I also, I forgot to mention that his mother was said to be a direct descendant of Joseph Smith, who was also the Mormon prophet. And today, Richard Ruff and Michael Haar, who remember he's the Elijah, they run social media and most of the operations. They have a few Facebook groups active. They have Ray Elite Teachings, the International Congregation of Lord Rael, and the Torah Codes group. They also have YouTube channels, but the YouTube channels haven't posted anything in two years.

Yeah, everything's kind of... Ever since COVID, it seems like the post-COVID thing really kind of crushed them. I feel like they saw an opportunity to make it big during 2020. And then it just didn't take. Do you think there's a chance he's dead? No. No, not yet. He's still alive.

No, they're gonna be. I mean, how would we know? It's not like it's gonna be in the news. I guess not. I actually, I don't know. I actually feel like we know if you, I feel like- Somebody would call you. Somebody in this, have I looked it up? Because he has fucked people over. Uh-huh. Yeah. Like we know if you I feel like somebody would call you

Because he's he has fucked people over uh-huh. Yeah, you know so there's no way there's not somebody Is he still have a warrant probably yeah? Yeah? Yeah? He's involved with he's involved It sounds like he's kind of semi involved with the murder. Where do you think he is now Mexico? He's definitely he's gonna be amazing a diet Mexico. Okay, definitely He's never coming back to the United States because it's a thing. He does have enough He still has online followers to who give him money. Like he has a lot of them are Relatively a lot of them. But what are we talking like 20 100 100 I'd say, you know, they probably come in and out I have to survive in Mexico. Yeah, and their place is actually pretty nice Yeah

Like the at least it was the first Baja place that they got was pretty nice. Like, nicer than you would think they would have. There is a care to some petition site that is trying to getting Raymond Lord Rael Lear to show up or shut up, basically saying, if the world's not going to end, I want my money back. Wow! That's incredible. I want my money back So hey guys that is our first update episode yeah, yeah, we got it in there We're gonna have a bunch of other ones. Yeah now we're gonna be doing a fuckton this whole year

Yeah, we're gonna have 40 of these episodes this year. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm very excited Yeah, it's gonna be great for me by the way. Yeah, dude I actually do like appreciate this because I need all the references. Yeah, no, no, you're going to get all of them. No, he's honestly, hopefully, let's see what happens here. He tried to abduct several women. He had a phony CIA badge. He poses as a US Senator to a woman. He tried to hire somebody else and help him kidnap another woman. And then he also, he was arrested for attacking his ex-wife, which is what he said that the cops drugged her and put these implanted memories into her head.

Who the hell is going to believe that he's a senator? Dummies, unfortunately. Or that's unfair. It's the people that are really, really broken. I mean, well, I mean, if you saw a picture of him back when he was Raymond Lear, he looked like I mean, yeah, he did look like a criminal, but I also only saw pictures of him in mug shots. Yeah, but he could maybe pass himself off as somebody, you know, some sort of congressman.

But you remember he was delivered here by the UFO over Israel. Have you ever seen that? Yeah. If you look UFO over Jerusalem? No, I haven't. Go take a look at it. I will. A lot of people have obviously debunked it. Yeah. But it's very interesting. Yeah, it's been, it has been thoroughly debunked. But it's good. I like it. Yeah, the Iron Dome would have been blown out. All right. Well, thank you all very much for listening and we'll see y'all next time. See you next time. Bye, S18! See you soon, Lord Rael!
