I woke up to a FB message from someone telling me that this had been shared here, so I tracked it; I'm the OP for the FB post. I'm sorry I'm so long-winded, but I just kept typing; it was actually just supposed to be a reach-out to some friends who are getting into ItWorks! and Lipsense, to caution them not to get too deep. I don't do a lot of social media, so I'm not good at viral posting or anything like that, but I wanted to come and provide more information from my notes for those interested. I got to sit in front of two subject matter experts for three hours, and everything I wrote was a credit to their life's work to undo the damage of high-demand groups.
I'm a Navy vet and psychology doctoral candidate from WV, and I work in mental health. I attended a training earlier this month from two guys from Wellspring WV, which is a really great facility that focuses primarily on helping people recover from re-education, high-demand groups, and what we could traditionally call "cult" activity and "brainwashing" (These awesome gentlemen are named Jeff Bryson and Greg Sammons; they also reference Dr. Alexandra Stein, who was a reformed cult member and is now a prominent SME in the field). It was about three hours of talking about the general tactics that are applied by the leaders of these groups to expand control. The focal point of the training was actually Scientology, but I was immediately fascinated by the claims that coercive control extended to MLM groups. Specifically, they mentioned someone from ASU (for the life of me, I can't remember who, because things were moving fast, there were a lot of slides, and I forgot to write down his name) who actually teaches a seminar on how to apply these coercion tactics in a MLM; so, ASU's School of Business has a MLM-factory,maybe from this Michael Sheffield dude somewhere in its midst (but he covers his ass by stressing that people only use the information "ethically". Yeah. Right.) So for the past few weeks, I've been poring through whatever literature I can find. Here are some of the things that have been in my general reading list, not focused on MLM:
I'll make a response thread here with my lengthier notes.
>“Why aren’t you with us?”
Because he's not as much of a fucking racist as you.
>One person even said, at one point, "How are we going to clean up the minds of those who have hateful thoughts?"
The essence of "Thought Reform".

A recommendation of True Believer. I was deciding whether to get that but a bought [Thought Reform by Robert Lifton] (https://www.amazon.com/Thought-Reform-Psychology-Totalism-brainwashing/dp/0807842532).
WWASPS We know exist, the (US (social liberal?, that wouldn't make much sense) (economic liberal, I am guessing??) liberals?) liberal version ... has existed in other countries in much more severe forms... I am at a loss though the movie you link to just seems to be a literal drama/action movie and well... not much an info-action-documentary. Do you have any names of the liberalWWASPS or there organizations etc. that would be helpful to research, a movie... not so much.
