lancesamals I'm not going to argue with you because I know you're not going to change your mind so I suggest you live in West Papua for 10 years and then I'll ask your opinion about West Papua again.
VICE Didn’t any of them realize that if you gave everyone in the world $6 million, the value of the dollar will drop and $6 million will essentially be worthless because, “everyone has it”. How much would you have to pay someone to cut your grass if everyone had $6 million. There has to be a separation of classes in society, some people live in comfort, some people do the dirty work. This SKew in lifestyle is a natural balance. The accumulation of great wealth is merely a side effect of any Currency based monetary system. Of course, I’m a capitalist/libertarian, and I know most vice readers are democratic Anarchists/socialists. But competition and wit go along way in society, even in societies that try to prevent it.
The woman obviously a hired white actress. IRS don’t call you if you have taxes to pay. You are either notified through sent mail or someone knocking on your door. Phone calls are most obvious scam
david sandlin Don't worry, he's the long lost brother of a deposed Nigerian prince with an extensive cache of gold he needs to get into the country, for the low, low price of $400!
I dont think people follow some random dude for fun. It is probably like that movie where some guy his wife gets raped and the man is approached by a stranger who will ask if he wants justice. One condition, if the man says yes than there will be a chance in the future he needs to forfill something for them to get even..
Such downward preposterous quote! Obviously those blind people would've asked first for the proof of such functionality of the eye from that one-eyed person prior making him their superior (namely, their king). But how could they acquire such knowledge for they themselves are blind. Such paradoxical utterance is a blatant display of sheer imbecility.
That "minister of love" woman is bat shit crazy. I feel bad for people that get caught up in scams like this. If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is.
Rupert Murdoch funds this channel, professional liar, no one has been asked for money utter Murdoch lies by vice propaganda. The low budget film is fake journalists hired by murdochs dirty money haha many fools believing this media. God bless humanity you deserve freedom from slave trade.
She send them her birth certificate. M1 forged a death certificate for her in America. Her tax debts got erased! Outstanding modern problems require outstanding moves.
I’ve lost my faith in humanity; liberal or conservative, it doesn’t matter, ignorance outweighs us all. We are at the age of information but misinformation still wins. How can those of us with a clear vision stay sane anymore?
Like TABLOIDS. Nobody even pays for them. Who would? And why. They remain on every shelf. They should be outlawed. From stores And the web. Sounds like false advertisment but might not make the criteria. Some loophole established.
Ofc you shouldn't pay back why should you the fed creates fiat currency out of thin air sells it to the us gov. At a high intrest rate and so on... Why should you pay for something thats infinite 😂 as long as they can print.... No problem
"First off, humans must be freed from debt" , to a certain degree its agreeable but also very dangerous and abusable. People can go out and max out all their credit cards and never have it be paid
This reminded me of a story over here in Germany: some guy created "Kingdom Germany" few years ago and even held a ceremory to let himself crown as it's King. He owned some land and gathered followeres around him with promises of jobs, houses and indendency. Lots joined his cult, many of those had debts in Germany and claimed Germany as county doesn't exist, therefor they don't have to pay their debts LOL ! Long story short, he even created his own driver licencense, passports and money. But when he created his own bank and took money from people in exchange for his fantasy money, it didn't took long to take him to prison. These cults are based on fantasy and false promises, never last long. Fascinating how creative people can get to scam others
This is the guy who has been emailing you about his inheritance that he wishes to share with you. He has moved from Nigeria to Indonesia. He is totally trustworthy.
Gooood evening Madame! There is a pigeon trapped inside your bank account, so I just need your bank details and sort code, so we can open the bank account, let out the pigeorn, take out the monies, CLEAN and DRY the monies, press the money notes flat and crispy and put all the monies back in your bank account. So, I jos need your bank account details and your sort code... It is totally innocent, Madaam, but we just need your détails so we can let out the pigeorn and clean up the mess it has made, clean up your monies and put it back in again.... Hello? Madame ?...
VICE reporters are heroes. This kind of reporting requires some serious balls, and they manage to get into a sketchy, dangerous group, speak with its members, stay neutral and get out safely. These guys seem like a narcissist/sociopath, who is obviously just scamming people to be loved by them. He talks about starting a war, and these people just stand behind him like it's all fine.
Indonesia is debitor heaven who want to avoid debt collector, just pick 1 of 17.000+ island & blend in with nature and local community, you wil completely disappear. Debt problem is solved
I would like to add an experience here regarding this Swissindo which happened to an Ecuadorian. There was one person from Babahoyo, Ecuador, he was tied by debt around 2000 USD (Ecuador use USD as national currency) and then one of his friend suggested him to access Swissindo website to find a solution for his debt. So he opened the website, then that website told him to pay 1500 USD. He unconsciously desperately find that money then pay to the bank account which the website told him so. Then boom... he got fraud and report to Indonesia embassy for solution.
So let me get this straight? He was in debt for $2000 USD, somehow managed to find $1500 USD, and gave the money to Swissindo instead of negotiating the debt?
I wish this was a more in depth documentary. I also wish you guys had contacted the irs and found that that woman's debt is probably still outstanding and had blown her mind when she found out she still owed the irs money. cults are a hell of a drug.
This is not the only proud Indo that has a story about a bloodline going back to a king or sultan. Typically, cause I hear this a lot in the Dutch Indonesian communit.
Tips for anyone with chronic debt problem: 1. Go to Indonesia with short notice 2. Just pick 1 of 17,000+ island for stay 3. Blend in with nature & local community Walla, you completely disappear & debt problem is solve (complete nightmare for debt collector)
Eddie Alvarez mormons did it better. They recruited educated machinists and company owners for their group. Then combined assets to get loans to make lumber cutting and lumber mills companies as well as construction and transport. They were leveraging their members credit to build a corporation that was actually turning profit.
The logo, promotional materials and vibe remind me of Scientology. The spillover effect of members bullying debt collectors on their own and possibly renegotiating their debts is the most interesting thing to me, even if this is a textbook pyramid scheme. Just getting people to rethink their relationship with their debts is a big deal.
The biggest problem with the world right now is the rise in debt dependency. In the US alone credit rating is important for a lot of things like house mortgage. This is forcing people who don't want debt or too dumb to manage money to buy stuff with credit. One stumble and they will live with big debt in their life and possibly falling for this kind of cult.
4:20 If every man woman and child would have a minimum of 6 million dollars that would mean that 6 million dollars would be worth next to nothing. If you want to see what it would look like search for information on post WW 1 Germany, the Zimbabwe Dollar or any other currency suffering from hyper inflation. These were countries full of starving millionaires, who would rather wipe their asses with the money than buy toilet paper since toilet paper was more valuable.
While the cult is obviously crazy, I am able to emphasize with the overall sentiment. The process by which people become indebted is often a very predatory system and leads to systems which function frighteningly similarly to slavery... These fringe groups are just a warning sign for what's to come if income inequality gets any worse.
What he said at the beginning is essentially true, but his appeal to stop injustice, slavery, alienation due to money, isn't really about dept, but usury and interest slavery. They don't seem to know about Marx, or economics, or that the human cost of money is an old problem which spans human history. This documentary is focusing on the wrong stuff, choosing to explore the obviously fraudulent proof they present, which isn't worth investigating. Those claims are irrelevant a priori, even if we accept some points, most of which either don't follow, or fail to make sense within the logic of their own system. If we take this "paper trail" so seriously, something that could easily be mistaken for parody, we are actually directing attention away from the tragic reality these people inhabit, and what's really going on. This kind of just fans the flames--not so much an exposé. The approach just seems off, and has a serious tone which grants a kind of respect to the cult.
I actually run a branch of this fellowship here in the U.S. to become a full fledged member you send us $100USD and we mail you literature and a letter for the bank to cover your debts
It is so sad to see the people in the video thought about the journalist was a nice girl and harmless but actually she was filming them in order to criticize them and their country.
my husband is an employee of a bank in Indonesia ... and now being sued by this cult, because one of the failed debtor has transferred his debt to this cult.. Really out of my logic..
I wish I could remember the name of this guy in Washington who had a similar racket. He was a caucasian but well studied in Eastern "New Age" spiritualism who ran a cult for a while which taught people how to clear all IRS debt and never have to pay taxes. He had an Indian name and had an old show that still ran on public access occasionally until they got rid of that channel. I know he did a stint in prison for tax evasion. Can anyone remember his name?-- it would be interesting to see the parallels
If americans can believe in Donald Trump and vote as the president of United States of America....then why shouldn't I believe he is cure for cancer and can pay all debts of world 😂😂😂
akshay yadav your stupid if your comparing Donald trump to this guy..... Donald trump isn’t no worse than the majority of the worlds leaders and probably smarter than most of them..., and I’m not a trump supporter
Not Nuclear Weapons, man!!! Nooo! Don't even think about them! Why did you have to say that ? It was a foolish and dangerous thing to say. All your good words and intentions stand for NOTHING now. You've ruined it.
"Whatever the truth one thing is certain, as long as people are getting screwed by global capitalism...." hardly sounds like overwhelming support. But for an accurate documentary they would of had to go to the bank and present both sides.
@vice please use spoken word translation. I cannot read the screen. Like many people I have poor vision. Just have someone read the captions please. I'm a fan.
Repo Man: Let’s go get sushi and not pay. Maybe this M1 guy should serve in the White House. BTW the line “screwed by global capitalism” is what a fifth grader would say.
we are glad to hear your message.sir could please a application form on our website www.notthefakepeople.com and sir we will need all of your bank account and numbers etc. and we would like you to donate around $1000 to some african kids..thank you hope to see your reply . your not fake cult leader
PLEAS!! read this story and help raise awareness for the people of West Papua. My name is Benny Wenda and I am a West Papuan independence leader. When I was a child my village was bombed by the Indonesian military and many of my family were killed. Later, I began to campaign peacefully to free my country from Indonesian occupation. For this ‘crime’ I was arrested, tortured and threatened with death. I managed to escape to the UK, where I now live in exile. My people are still suffering. Hundreds of thousands have been killed, raped and tortured. All we want is to live without fear and for West Papua to become a free and independent country. Please hear my peoples’ cry for help. Please support the Free West Papua Campaign.
The group is led by Soegihartonotonegoro, a charismatic leader who calls himself M1, and presents himself as a godlike figure who can erase the world’s debt due to a seemingly limitless ancient inheritance.

FathomLordkara hahaha this.
The woman obviously a hired white actress. IRS don’t call you if you have taxes to pay. You are either notified through sent mail or someone knocking on your door. Phone calls are most obvious scam
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was that dude who called her while impersonating the IRS lolol
It’s Indonesian money. 10 million Rupiah is 600 USD
So basically I send him 400$ and he wipes all my debt away with his secret ancient fortune. Seems legit.
david sandlin Don't worry, he's the long lost brother of a deposed Nigerian prince with an extensive cache of gold he needs to get into the country, for the low, low price of $400!
Turpentine Daydreams yeah. I already paypaled him the money to pay customs. I should be loaded within 7-10 business days.
You lose a debt but get a new one for 400 dollars!
Good bargain even if the new debt is only $400
I dont think people follow some random dude for fun. It is probably like that movie where some guy his wife gets raped and the man is approached by a stranger who will ask if he wants justice. One condition, if the man says yes than there will be a chance in the future he needs to forfill something for them to get even..
This quote never is more relevant than this vid: “In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king”

But how could they acquire such knowledge for they themselves are blind. Such paradoxical utterance is a blatant display of sheer imbecility.

Jeff Tolton yeah
Jeff Tolton i don't feel sorry for her at all.
The women is living a lie. They use her to make their group look goog. she’s going to find out one day that she is helping to ruin lives,
Maybe they'll cut her head off if she tells the truth and is a prisoner.
She's with the CIA
So he 'removes' their financial debt, only for them to be in debt to him. Ironic
I dont know the scheme, i dont know why the video sayd "piramid scheme". Probably is more like you say.
"$6,000,000 for every man woman and child" talk about some hyperinflation

Holy shit its work .
IRS never contacted me since i move to indonesia .
and didn't tell them where I am
fuck I just moved a couple hrs up north and started shooting everyone who come into my section of the woods.... no one has talked to me since!

Lol that would be a perfect south park episode
Exactly!
Yeah lol same here
ANDDD ITS GONE
soon he faint in exhaustion for paying many debts like kyle lol
"The IRS was bullying me! I felt like a criminal!"
Yes. Because you are. You essentially stole thousands of Dollars by not paying back your debts.
Ofc you shouldn't pay back why should you the fed creates fiat currency out of thin air sells it to the us gov. At a high intrest rate and so on... Why should you pay for something thats infinite 😂 as long as they can print.... No problem
John Kapwn show me the law that says you have to pay taxes on wages.
because the money is a way to get people's time and work so you basically stole other peoples time you dumass.
Young Gun but money is printed out of thin air it has no value at all 😂
Don`t talk about the President that way..he`s SMART, not a tax avoiding thief...golly gee...
OMG, I've actually heard about this cult from my ex's father many years ago. It's weird to watch them here on Vice, and in English.

Rocky Do . Yup, Jim was worse but they both have that holier than thou attitude with crazed eyes.
Yes! I know it was my first gut wrenching impression!

Can he paid for the Trump wall?

I'd fund a soundproof wall to be put around trump. Okay its a padded cell.

Faizal F Well my country Mexico is a third world country and he is asking to us to pay for the wall.

Yes Shouganai. I'm curious too. Can you please mention it one by one?
Why would i need to mention it when u can just search it, its common sense here bud.

seems legit...
I wish I could remember the name of this guy in Washington who had a similar racket. He was a caucasian but well studied in Eastern "New Age" spiritualism who ran a cult for a while which taught people how to clear all IRS debt and never have to pay taxes. He had an Indian name and had an old show that still ran on public access occasionally until they got rid of that channel. I know he did a stint in prison for tax evasion. Can anyone remember his name?-- it would be interesting to see the parallels
Dr. Aidun aka Judge Naidu?

IRS stopped calling her, stopped pursuing her. She just throw her old number, change her name, and stay in that compound in Indonesia
Here's the thing, the IRS will never call you so she likely spoke to a scammer

BITCONEEEEEECT!!!!!
That's the question
I still don't understand why someone unrelated to the video is at the start of it .... And it has been years of doing that
If americans can believe in Donald Trump and vote as the president of United States of America....then why shouldn't I believe he is cure for cancer and can pay all debts of world 😂😂😂
akshay yadav Since you are a bigger idiot than an average American.
akshay yadav your stupid if your comparing Donald trump to this guy..... Donald trump isn’t no worse than the majority of the worlds leaders and probably smarter than most of them..., and I’m not a trump supporter
Just for your info, Trump just proposed to arm teachers at schools so they can fight back during school shooting.
Not Nuclear Weapons, man!!! Nooo! Don't even think about them! Why did you have to say that ? It was a foolish and dangerous thing to say.
All your good words and intentions stand for NOTHING now. You've ruined it.
vice defending a bank who would a thought.
"Whatever the truth one thing is certain, as long as people are getting screwed by global capitalism...." hardly sounds like overwhelming support. But for an accurate documentary they would of had to go to the bank and present both sides.
Boy, the cult literally tried to extort the bank. And there's no way Canadian Vice has ties to a local bank in Indonesia. Bless your hearts.

BRI is the only bank who run by government, so any political action is prohibited
Nathaniel Jonathan BNI Mandiri is also own by government.....
@vice please use spoken word translation. I cannot read the screen. Like many people I have poor vision. Just have someone read the captions please. I'm a fan.
Repo Man: Let’s go get sushi and not pay.
Maybe this M1 guy should serve in the White House.
BTW the line “screwed by global capitalism” is what a fifth grader would say.
Stay ignorant because it leads to happiness
What a genius 5th grader
Maybe most 5th graders have common sense and can see things that are obvious.
Yes, she just some liberal socialist

PLEAS!! read this story and help raise awareness for the people of West Papua.
My name is Benny Wenda and I am a West Papuan independence leader.
When I was a child my village was bombed by the Indonesian military and many of my family were killed. Later, I began to campaign peacefully to free my country from Indonesian occupation. For this ‘crime’ I was arrested, tortured and threatened with death.
I managed to escape to the UK, where I now live in exile. My people are still suffering. Hundreds of thousands have been killed, raped and tortured. All we want is to live without fear and for West Papua to become a free and independent country.
Please hear my peoples’ cry for help. Please support the Free West Papua Campaign.
