29. Yes. This family is involved in TWO cults. And LeBarons have massacred EACH OTHER before.

Nov 2019

The LeBarons in the past have been an astonishingly violent fundamentalist sect, and there are many instances of them murdering each other because of power struggles within the cult.

The right wing press jumped on this as a story of innocent Americans being slaughtered by lawless Mexicans and we need the wall and bla bla bla. The main stream media picked up that same story like lemmings.

There are other likely possibilities of what happened to those poor women and children.

And before anyone responds with, "they didn't deserve to die that way," OF COURSE they didn't. This is not saying they did. It is only to say there is a lot more here than is being reported.
