sans reference to the internet..

When asked by acquaintances and friends the question: Why do these people believe what he says?

The short cut explanation boils right down to the Cult Factor.

I'll leave the clinical psycho-analysis to the professionals who do and will use this as grist for the mill factories.

But I really don't think it's all that complicated, like Speier says... similar to the Merchant of Deceit: the Jim Jones Cult.
