    S7E2 | Kate Talley - LDS Ritual Abuse Survivor Exposes Predator David Hamblin’s "Healing Circles"

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Today I’m honored to introduce you all to: Ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor and overcomer, David Hamblin and LDS church abuse whistleblower, devoted and loving wife to her soulmate Troy, loving mother, nature, animal and natural world lover, fresh air breather, music and art consumer and creator, foodie, thoughtful conversation haver, and one of my personal heroes and inspirations: Kate Talley A little bit about Kate and what you can expect to hear about in today’s conversation: Kate did not ask to become a witness to the darkest corners of human cruelty. She was born into it. Raised in an active LDS family in Utah, she carried the kind of Mormon heritage that others would call royalty. On the surface she was the little girl doing everything a child in Utah County was supposed to do. Beneath that surface, beginning with her earliest memories, she was taken by her grandfather and his circle of respected men—pharmacists, business owners, doctors, dentists, civic leaders—into rituals that mocked the very church they publicly served. They inverted baptisms, blessings, sacrament, and sealings, calling on Lucifer instead of Christ. It happened in neighborhoods that looked like any other affluent Utah town, tt happened in LDS buildings after hours, and it happened around holidays and whenever her grandfather could isolate her. When she was eleven, after a particularly brutal assault on her birthday, she looked at the man - her grandfather - who had just violated her and said she hated him and hoped he would die. Two weeks later he dropped dead of a heart attack while changing a light bulb. Shortly afterward an aunt spoke out about incest. Kate spoke out too. Others in the family and neighborhood followed. What should have been the beginning of justice became the beginning of a different kind of wound: victim-shaming from a BYU-affiliated counselor, bishops, church leaders, and, later, a high-ranking official’s son who appeared at her door after she mentioned ritual abuse to a bishop - uninvited, persistent, walking into her home as if to deliver a message that they knew she was talking. In 2008 or 2009, desperate for anyone who would not flinch at ritual abuse, she and her then-husband were introduced to David Hamblin’s “healing circles.” Hamlin presented himself as a former psychologist who no longer needed a license or insurance because he was too spiritually advanced, too generous. At first the circles felt like relief: a place where the unspeakable could be spoken without immediate shock. Then the grooming began. He drove wedges between couples. He elevated Kate’s husband as spiritually superior and used that pedestal to pressure her into repeating her childhood traumas as “therapy.” After Hamlin’s 2012 arrest the circle fractured, but he doubled down on those whose names matched his own daughters’. Kate has spoken out not only for herself but for her cousin Sherry, who is no longer here, and for the many others in her old neighborhood lost to suicide, addiction, and early death. She has spoken because she watched Katie Hamblin stand alone in court for two years, tall and unflinching, when Kate herself could not yet stand. Now she stands so that others can. Kate is not merely a survivor. She is a whistleblower who has refused the lifelong command to be quiet. She has taken the very programming designed to fracture her and turned it into testimony. She has walked out of Plato’s cave, seen the ritualistic underbelly that so many in Utah still insist cannot exist, and come back to tell the people still chained to the wall what she saw. She does it knowing the cost: lawsuits, shadowbans, disbelief, and the raw emotional labor of repeating the worst days of her life so that families might finally learn to believe children, call the authorities, and stop handling these crimes in private. That is the measure of Kate: a woman who was taken into the dark as a child, who was failed by counselors, bishops, and a man who posed as a healer, and who nevertheless chose to become light. She speaks so the next little girl or boy in Utah, the LDS Church or anywhere else, might never have to carry the same silence. She speaks so the voiceless can still be heard, and she speaks so the living can finally be free. 🔗HAMBLIN WHISTLEBLOWER EMAIL: whistleblowyourabuser@proton.me 🔗CONNECT WITH KATE: IG: https://www.instagram.com/knitterkate?psln=YnB6anltZnd5bWI4 🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com SUBSTACK: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination VENMO: @emmapreneur CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 ALL LINKS: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast Support the show

    S7E1 | Anna Starfire - Operation Paperclip: The Secret History of 4,000 Nazis That Came to America

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Today I’m so honored to have back on the show for our SEASON 7 OPENER(!!): MK ULTRA, MONARCH, human experimentation, dark lab, secret space program and human hybrid chimera survivor, overcomer, and whistleblower, published writer and author, and an incredible woman stepping forward to provide the reasons and the bigger picture; the War for Cosmic control: Anna Starfire  A little bit about Anna if you’re new here,  missed her last two incredible episodes or need a little recap:  In the vast, hidden architecture of the twentieth century - where classified programs, wartime scientists, and cosmic ambition collided - one woman’s testimony burns with a rare intensity. Anna, known to CIA handlers as MONARCH 47 or MK-47, recounts a life that began not in ordinary infancy but in the experimental machinery of mind control, genetic modification, and secret space research. Born around 1956 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (her official certificate lists a later date), she describes herself as a human hybrid chimera, a product of programs that fused human tissue with reverse-engineered technologies, satellite-linked implants, and the lingering expertise of Nazi physicians brought to America under Operation Paperclip. Her mother, a displaced Eastern European translator working on Paperclip documents near the base and once a titled princess in her homeland, and her father, a German aerospace engineer already supporting another family, could not raise her. Donated or placed into the system as an orphan, she entered the shadowy corridors of military labs as a newborn. Surgical modification began within months: brain implants, a blue aluminum halo tracking device visible in early Polaroids, metallic fixtures for measuring electrical resistance during electroshock, and later transponders that linked her nervous system to orbiting satellites. Scientists and others from former SS medical teams, along with Sidney Gottlieb collecting growth data, performed operations intended to prepare children for long-duration space travel. She was assigned to a live-aboard “space blimp” program in low Earth orbit, where researchers studied delayed growth, hibernation protocols, and development in reduced gravity. Her extended time off-Earth, she says, slowed her physical maturation so that, biologically older, she still appeared toddler-like when returned to Earth’s gravity. After President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, the space-blimp program was dismantled amid panic over hidden projects. CIA Director John McCone assigned her a new name and birth date. She was chemically mind-erased and reprogrammed. Placed with sponsor families and later adopted, she entered government-sponsored medical research placements.  What distinguishes Anna is not the catalog of procedures inflicted upon her, but the sovereign act of turning the machinery of captivity into instruments of revelation. She learned to use the very implants meant to control her. That defiance, she says, was a declaration that no protocol could extinguish the spark of human will. Since 2013 she has published the evidence in three books that form a living archive: The Hybrid Project, Starfire Disclosure, and MK Ultra Dark Labs Today she stands as an advocate whose courage has become a usable map. She tells other survivors that the place they occupy today is not the place they will occupy next year, that small daily acts of kindness toward oneself are strategy rather than luxury, and that silence has never been the price of survival.  Anna is the walking record the elite could not fully erase. In her refusal to disappear she offers something rarer than outrage: a demonstration that even a child redesigned for someone else’s war can still choose to tell the truth, to document, to heal, and to light the way for others. Her voice is an anthem of triumph - a hybrid of endurance and hope capable of bridging worlds and reclaiming the stars. She is a cosmic warrior of truth, a guardian of the human spirit, and an eternal flame guiding survivors toward freedom and the infinite possibilities beyond the laboratories that once claimed her. In her story we do not find despair. We find an invitation to rise, to question, and to honor the extraordinary resilience that dwells within us all. 🔗ANNA'S PLAYLIST ON 'THE IMAGINATION': https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQx1vdsmBYcA&si=ULPav1z2Z5WVkS7o 🔗PURCHASE ANNA'S 3-PART MEMOIR ON AMAZON: -"MK ULTRA Dark Labs" - https://a.co/d/005a3l2w -"The Hybrid Project" - https://a.co/d/0eB60nem -"Starfire Disclosure" - https://a.co/d/0jl76mJq 🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com SUBSTACK: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination VENMO: @emmapreneur CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 ALL LINKS: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast Support the show

    TIP 'Movie Night' | Max Spiers - The Power Elite: Seen and Unseen (Bases 37 - Miles Johnston, 2014)

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Spiers talks about his difficult early life and triggers, describing a birth split between a “high vibrational” mother and a “low vibrational” father. He identifies as a fallen male fire dragon from Draco and links coats of arms to warring ET kingdoms, DNA spirals, polarity, and what he calls a 3D soul loop. The conversation also covers Broadstairs and Canterbury symbolism, bloodline claims (including the Black Prince, Percy, Stewart, and Diana lines), and his view that human male and female are being collapsed into an androgynous drone. 🔗WATCH MAX'S PLAYLIST ON 'THE IMAGINATION:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDkaTkGgliV0 🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com SUBSTACK: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination VENMO: @emmapreneur CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 ALL LINKS: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast Support the show

    S6E100 | Adam Hamer - Neural Rights: The Intersection of Ritual Abuse, GATE, & Psychological Warfare

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Today I’m honored to have back on the show once again: MONARCH, GATE, and organized child abuse survivor, overcomer and now whistleblower, artist, creative, dog and animal lover, consciousness explorer, investigative researcher, freelance filmmaker, cinematographer, claymation effects and 3D art maker, and a courageous young man standing up for liberty and justice for all survivors, Adam Hamer A little bit about Adam in case you’re new here, missed Adam’s last episode where we debuted his testimony and federal court case, or just need a recap!  Adam was born in 1988 in Tucson, Arizona, and raised by a single mother who believed she was giving her son a gift. In the public schools of the 1990s, that gift had a name: GATE - Gifted and Talented Education. Officials described it as enhanced curriculum. But what Adam would later described was something else: a childhood whose middle years dissolved into what he has called “inky black pools of nothingness,” broken only by fragments whose meaning would not arrive for nearly three decades.That is the beginning of his story. The rest is what he refused to let the beginning become. He was screened in kindergarten with things like aptitude tests, headphones, darkened rooms, cards, isolation from the other children. He transferred schools trying to outrun something he did not yet have language for and that his mother sensed was wrong. By seven he could no longer answer yes or no. A psychiatrist’s office entered the record. Medical notes from childhood would later sit beside drawings that, in the light of recovered memory, no longer looked like play. For years he built a life on the other side of silence. Then a single video connecting trauma-based mind control to the GATE program unlocked what had been locked. The connections formed. Justice stopped being a hope and became a mission. Adam remembered. He did not wait for permission to treat his memories as real. He filed extensive first-party Privacy Act requests across agencies, asking for records of programs he believed had used him as a child. What came back - delays, “unusual circumstances,” national-security language, rephrased questions, files that never arrived - did not silence him. It hardened his resolve. That is the synopsis. The rest is the man he became. He has said he is not fighting for vengeance. He is fighting so that no child is funneled into a program under false pretenses, so that consent is sacred, so that the body is not treated as federal property and the mind is not treated as a battlespace. That stance is what makes him more than a witness. He is a survivor advocate who treats other people’s silence as a problem he is willing to spend his life solving. He tells other survivors that one voice, armed with persistence, can force entrenched systems to answer. He tells the public that cognitive liberty is not a fringe concern - that neural data, biometric data, and the interior life of a person must be protected by law before they are monetized, mapped, or weaponized. In him there is something stubbornly American, not as a slogan but as a demand: that the government exists to answer to people, not to experiment on them in the dark and classify the receipts. He has called for the kind of oversight last seen in the Church Committee era - sunlight, not blank checks. He has made a private catastrophe into a public principle.That principle is simple and revolutionary: this body is mine. This mind is mine. You do not get to write the rest of the story without my consent. Adam is not asking the world to pity him. He is asking it to decide. He stands as a voice for the voiceless, a warrior of light who turned personal trauma into a universal shield, a humanitarian who believes prevention is the only victory that matters. He reminds us that one person, refusing erasure, can plant a flag of absolute ownership in contested territory - and that the next generation should never have to invent that sentence for themselves. And in doing so, he hands others the thing that was taken from him first: the right to own their own story, and the courage to demand that the future be different from the past. 🔗CONNECT WITH ADAM: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCddPrjSVYNTuefayuPkvvyQ Adam's Playlist on YT: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRZUDpRo5nrU Email: KULULLU@proton.me 🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: -YouTube: @imaginationpodcastofficial  - https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial -Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast -EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com -Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ -BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination -VENMO: @emmapreneur -CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 -All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast Support the show

    S6E99 | Caleb Fernandez - "I Escaped Calvary Chapel Cult": Breaking the Silence & Chains of Controle

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Today I’m so honored to have back on the show once again: Cult and cult abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, Vice President of the non-profit Tucson Pops Orchestra, freelance social media photographer, future cosmetology school graduate, Penn State University alum, former Digital Content Creator for KGUN 9, artist, creative, and an incredible hero who has stepped up to break the silence on cult abuse and to educate on how victims can take steps to get out: Caleb Fernandez   A little bit about Caleb if you’re new here, if you missed his first two episodes, or if you just need a little refresher: Caleb was born into a world already woven with invisible chains. Raised in Southern California amid the sprawling influence of Calvary Chapel, he entered life entangled in what he describes as multi-generational cult dynamics. Church leaders were not distant figures but active presences in his earliest years. As a small child he endured ritualized and psychosexual cult abuse, the machinery of mind control, and experiences he later recognized as labor trafficking disguised as mission trips and service. He speaks of unclean spirits operating within Calvary Chapel and carries the unshakable conviction that the organization functions as a cult whose patterns of control, isolation, financial pressure, gossip framed as prayer chains, and suppression of questions must be named so that others can break free. Even then, something inside Caleb refused to go dark. From his earliest school years, Caleb poured himself into musical theater. On stage he discovered a language louder than fear - performance, music, and collective creation that let him breathe when his environment felt suffocating. That same creative current carried him through high school questions that made adults uncomfortable, through college at Penn State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in advertising and public relations while secretly studying Jewish history and ancient civilizations to understand the faith he had been handed, and onward to New York City. There he mastered production assistance, photography, and art direction. He worked as a digital content creator for KGUN9, modeled, and honed skills in still and moving images, retouching, scripting, editing, event planning, and brand representation. He also lived with epilepsy and later learned he is autistic - realities that had been met in childhood with prayer instead of professional care. The journey toward freedom began in his early twenties and reached its culmination in 2025 when, at 33, he finally escaped the cult. Every step has been an act of radical courage. He is now vice president of the nonprofit Tucson Pops Orchestra, where music becomes medicine and community becomes sanctuary. He continues as a freelance social media photographer and strategic digital creative. Cosmetology school waits on the horizon, another chapter in a life that keeps expanding. Caleb is more than a survivor. He is a living symphony of resilience - a man who gathered the shattered notes of his past and composed a future of purpose, artistry, and fierce advocacy. As a first-time whistleblower he has given voice to the silenced, offering practical, life-saving guidance for anyone still trapped. He reminds every person who has ever felt controlled, gaslit, or broken that the light inside them is stronger than any organization, any abuse, any chain. From unimaginable darkness he has risen not to merely to endure but to sing, to create, to lead, and to show others the way out. Yet the true wonder of Caleb’s story is only beginning. The same hands once bound by control now conduct healing. The same spirit once told to stay silent now speaks with a clarity that plants seeds of awakening in hearts still living in fear. Every word of testimony he offers becomes a lantern held high for those still searching for the exit. In him we see the promise that no chain is unbreakable, no darkness final, no voice truly lost. What was once meant to erase him has instead become the very bridge others now walk across toward their own healing. Caleb stands as living testimony that even the longest night can end in a sunrise no one expected - and that one courageous soul is enough to light the way for thousands more. 🔗CALEB'S PLAYLIST: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF3jAlPtNQyU&si=MoaJaeOGP8z9d2TA 🔗CONNECT WITH CALEB: -LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/calebface -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCUYD1gVN6bZllqxrF3u3q0g -TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCUYD1gVN6bZllqxrF3u3q0g  🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: -YouTube: @imaginationpodcastofficial  - https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial -Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast -EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com -Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ -BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination -VENMO: @emmapreneur -CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 -All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast Support the show

    TIP 'Movie Night' | Max Spiers - 'The Attack on the Heart' (Bases 59 Part 1)

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Max Spiers returns to the Bases Project with this first installment recorded at the MJM studio in Wiltshire. On this occasion, he meets with Miles Johnston, founder of the Bases Project, to discuss the topic entitled “The Attack on the Human Heart”.  This content now becomes part of the scope of British Post Disclosure, especially after the official recognition by the British authorities of the existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), as well as the influence of non-human entities — or those originating from outside our world — on systems of power. According to Spiers, one of the main aspects of this control involves the suppression of human creativity and the deliberate destabilization of traditionally respected innovations. In this context, even the British monarchy is portrayed as a possible scapegoat, becoming, like many other structures, protected from hidden interests. As John Urwin has observed, such figures should be considered to belong to the “Second Degree” of relevance within this position of control. 🔗WATCH MAX'S PLAYLIST ON 'THE IMAGINATION:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDkaTkGgliV0 🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com SUBSTACK: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination VENMO: @emmapreneur CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 ALL LINKS: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast Support the show

    S6E98 | Armaan (DeprogramSRA69) - Born in a Lab, Cloned, & Surgically Altered: A Story of Healing

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Today I’m so honored to introduce you all to: Ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, published writer and author, TikTok content creator, dancer, artist, and creative, civil engineer with a passion for natural building, haircut wizard, and declutter and deprogramming warrior: Armaan Keval Malde A little bit about Armaan and what you can expect to hear about on today’s episode: Armaan comes from the Visa Ohshwal community, a lineage he traces from India through Kenya back toward Persia. Both of his parents share that background as well. He believes multi-generational programming ran through the family and the wider group, and that schools, hospitals, and businesses built by relatives may have doubled as covers. He says the official story of his birth was a lie: he was told July 4, 1996, but his memories place his origin around January 1, 1993, in an Iranian lab, with years shuttled between there and a facility in Switzerland, where a twin or clone was also created. He was then moved through Africa into Kenya and on to the United States; while his twin was sent separately to New York. From ages three to six he lived underground: programmed, surgically altered, gender-inverted, and prepared to live as a female. At age six he was placed with his adoptive family looking so malnourished he looked three years old. From then on he and the twin were rotated - one living the visible life, the other taken below. Every school, he says, sat above hidden rooms and tunnels. Pregnancies began in childhood. His body later swelled in ways that did not match starvation; and he attributes this to implanted filler. The implanted uterus began rejecting him long before he had language for any of it. In 2017 something in him chose life before he even understood the full map. The dissociated memories of childhood did not return until 2022–2023, after homelessness ended and he finally had a door he could lock. Safety itself became holy. In 2019, before he even had the words “ritual abuse,” visualization brought him to what he calls Stage 1 DID integration. That alone is astonishing: he began putting a shattered mind back together while still standing inside the lie. He now lives in Stage 2 integration—one functioning person, with remaining parts mostly holding memory. He believes Stage 3 is near: residual memory cleared, a life that cannot be dismantled again, pain met without leaving the body. For most of his years he wanted the story to end. What kept him here was not mere endurance. It was vocation. If he could survive this, and then share the methods with other survivors, then they would not have to invent survival from nothing. He is certain that is why he is alive. He believes complete healing is possible - not as a slogan, but as a promise he has already begun to keep in his own nervous system. That promise now shapes everything he builds. On TikTok as DeprogramSRA69 he does not perform pain for spectacle. He teaches. He shares protocols for DID, programming, extreme grief, and deliverance, along with the workbook Deprogram Yourself. He has already proven that a person with almost no support can still become a source of support. But as you witness him, do not mistake his gentleness for smallness. This is a man who crawled out of rooms designed to erase him and then asked, Who else is still down there? His life is the answer he gives to the dark: you do not get the last word. To other survivors his message is a vow, not a platitude. You can do more of the healing yourself than you were ever allowed to believe. You are more capable than the people who broke you wanted you to know. The laboratories tried to write his ending before he could speak. Armaan answered with a life so stubbornly luminous that it became an invitation. Come back. You are not too shattered. You are not too late. The dark was real. The return is realer. If one person can walk out carrying both the wound and the medicine, then none of us have to stay buried. He is still writing. And the ending he is writing now is not only his. It is ours - if we are brave enough to believe that healing, fully and finally, is possible. 🔗CONNECT WITH ARMAAN: TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@deprogramandheal?lang=en LINKTREE (PURCHASE WORKBOOKS HERE): https://linktr.ee/deprogramsra696969 RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/user/DeprogramSRA69 VENMO: @Armaan-Malde CASHAPP: $ArmaanMalde PAYPAL: @ArmaanMalde 🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com SUBSTACK: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination VENMO: @emmapreneur CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 ALL LINKS: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast Support the show

    S6E97 | Latter Day Chad - Gordon Bowen, David Leavitt, David Hamblin & the LDS Church of Satan

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com Today I’m so honored to introduce you all to: Outspoken whistleblower and public witness raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, online personality and content creator, podcast host and podcaster, independent researcher and reporter, theological topic and historical Mormon doctrine debater, and a fierce force to be reckoned with in exposing systemic and institutional ritual abuse: Latter-Day Chad A little bit about our guest and the themes you can expect to hear about on today’s show: Raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Chad found Sunday meetings uninteresting as a teenager and stopped attending at 14 once he could choose. That changed around age 22. Synchronicities he could not explain, dreams that came true—including one of a classmate who died exactly as foreseen less than two weeks later—and a growing fascination with early Mormon teachings pulled him back. He began studying Joseph Smith’s words, the Book of Mormon’s warnings about secret combinations, and the occult beliefs of elites. What started as Instagram memes under the name Latter-Day Chad evolved into a fearless public witness. He describes himself as a believing Mormon who is also “very controversial.” He loves the Book of Mormon’s cosmology yet refuses to stay silent when its own prophecies about infiltration and corruption appear to be unfolding. He points to the “LDS Church of Satan,” a group described in victim statements as using Mormon theology while serving Lucifer, pretending to be ordinary members while seeking power in Utah government and the Church. Central figures in the story he has documented include advertising executive Gordon Bowen - called by some the “Mormon Epstein” - former therapist David Hamblin, and former Utah prosecutor David Levitt. Hamblin’s daughters alleged ritual abuse, trafficking to powerful people, and a role for Bowen as “the Punisher.” An on-tape conversation captured Hamblin discussing personality-splitting methods consistent with trauma-based mind control. Court documents from Bowen’s divorce include journal entries describing voices, ritual themes, and writings he acknowledged but claimed not to remember. The investigation known as Operation See No Evil was shut down despite recorded admissions and agents who believed the case had high likelihood of guilt. Utah media stayed quiet. Church-connected lawyers and officials closed ranks. Chad did not treat this as abstract history. He went to the Church Office Building with questions about Bowen’s role in the Salt Lake Temple open house and his friendships with apostles. Security trespassed him and the video recording went viral. Influencers who once welcomed his apologetic content turned on him, spreading rumors and pressuring platforms. His temple recommend was revoked after he spoke about ritual abuse. He was informed a membership council was coming and that excommunication was likely because he would not recant. He has said he is willing to “fall on that sword” because he believes the Lord asked him to expose what the scriptures call secret combinations. The personal cost has been high. Yet Chad frames his work as advocacy for survivors whose stories were buried by institutional self-protection. He has independently verified details through people who know victims and the accused. He ends many messages the same way: expose the hidden works of darkness, scatter the watchmen who fell asleep, and pray with the conviction that what is asked in faith will happen. Latter-Day Chad is not a polished institution man. He is a young believer who grew tired of fairy-tale religion and decided the scriptures meant what they said. He has been trespassed, tracked, slandered, and threatened with expulsion from the very community whose founding texts he is trying to honor. In doing so he has given a voice to survivors whose cases never reached a courtroom and has forced a conversation many would rather bury. Whether one accepts every connection he draws or not, his willingness to stand in the open when others chose silence is rare. He has asked people across faith lines to set theology aside long enough to look at the evidence and demand accountability. In an age of institutional insulation, that kind of stubborn, scripture-rooted courage is itself a form of light. He continues the work because, in his words, the day of vengeance begins at the Lord’s house - and someone has to be willing to say so out loud. 🔗CONNECT WITH CHAD: IG: https://www.instagram.com/latterdaychad/ X: https://x.com/LatterDayChadX 🔗CONNECT WITH EMMA: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcast EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.com SUBSTACK: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/ BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimagination VENMO: @emmapreneur CASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204 ALL LINKS: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcast Support the show
