S5E28 | Justin Riggs - Death of a Church: Greed, Gluttony, and Grift in LDS, Inc.

Today I’m honored to introduce you all to, LDS abuse whistleblower, investigative researcher, journalist and reporter with a Masters degree in Adult Education and Training, creator of LDS Abuse, excommunicated lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, loving father, nature lover, and a man on a mission to help members of the spiritual body known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints know what to expect from their church if they become victims of abuse: Justin Riggs

In case you are new here or missed Justin’s first episode, here is a little bit about him and what we discussed last time to catch you up:

A life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Justin was recently ex-communicated from the church earlier this year for his work - which ironically aims to help cultivate a safer environment in the church for abuse victims, children, and survivors. As many of you know from listening to this podcast or similar podcasts, religious institutions have - over time - become cesspools for abuse to happen and for abusers to hide - and the LDS church is no exception. This is not to say that all members of the church are corrupt or bad - this is to say that Justin has revealed some hidden connections that have been in plain sight all along connecting the LDS church to a long-standing relationship with the CIA as well as exposing the systemic problem of ritual abuse that has since manifested into countless testimonies from survivors who were preyed on by perpetraitors hiding behind the goodwill and secrecy embedded into the church’s very foundations.

In Justin’s words: “When people get abused in the Church and seek help, they think they're going to get treated as a child of God, but instead they learn very quickly that their experience is dangerous to the brand of LDS, Inc., and they get treated like a Human Resource problem.”

The first time Justin was on, we had a mind-blowing discussion around The Pace Memo - which was a leaked document that disclosed ongoing internal investigations of ritual abuse, pedophilia, and satanism in the LDS church being conducted by church leadership who documented and covered up dozens and dozens of ritual abuse victims and survivor testimonies. This documentation has received very little attention for how serious this issue was and it’s only because researchers like Justin that we even know it exists. We also discussed the LDS church and their long-standing relationship with the CIA and how the abuse these victims were alleging is eerily similar to the testimonies of the many LDS church ritual abuse and MK ULTRA survivors and whistleblowers we’ve had on this podcast. If you missed that episode - I highly, HIGHLY encourage you to go watch it and will have it linked in the show notes!

On today’s episode, Justin is going to go even deeper into this rabbit hole by presenting additional shocking documentation that shows - and proves - how there was actually a plan to take over the state of Utah by overthrowing Mormonism and taking possession of the mineral rich land. That plan involved corrupting the youth of the Church by recruiting them into occult secret societies, then feeding them into positions of power, influence, and gain in government, business, religion, intelligence agencies and the military industrial complex… And this is just the tip of the iceberg! Our goal with this series is not to degrade or put down religion, church, or anyone’s specific beliefs - it is to bring awareness to corruption happening in places like the church so that we can collectively demand change in order to make these spaces safe again for children, survivors and victims. So, grab a pen and paper and get ready to take copious notes about one of the biggest and most important scandals that the world has had no idea exists… until now.
