Shaeida: the little girl who was disappeared in MOVE. May 11, 2023

*cw: profanity and death of children
It's hard to believe that an organization like MOVE, which preaches about natural foods and healthy living, could be responsible for the neglect and abuse suffered by its children. In this episode we share exclusive investigative information about Shaeida "She She" Hollaway, who disappeared from the group's care in 1978 at the age of five. Through in-depth research, we learn about MOVE's secretive practices that made it challenging for authorities to locate and safeguard the children's welfare. This eye-opening episode details the group's obsession with isolation and privacy in order to conceal it's true nature, leading to catastrophic consequences for its members, most particularly the dozens of children who died, went missing or suffered decades of abuse. .

What happened to her in MOVE?
Will MOVE answer questions about SHAEIDA? If not, what could they be hiding?

THE MOVE FAMILY May 10, 2023

*explicit language and threats of violence
Whenever MOVE speaks it is always in "the plural" as "The MOVE Family" but what happens in the family stays in the family, like the movie FIGHT CLUB but even more insidious and culty. So outsiders think MOVE is what they say they are - a loving committed family. Over the two seasons you have heard exclusive interviews with former MOVE members sharing the dark secrets in the group. The podcast has obtained a lot of internal MOVE materials and in this episode we share a letter that exposes the true family dynamics in MOVE.
Here is the letter for you to read after you hear the episode:

All About Ria, the other White "Africa" May 03, 2023

*explicit: child abuse, animal abuse and racial slurs
MOVE wants the public to see them as a black liberation group and so Ria Africa has been conveniently erased from their current narrative which is why we made this entire episode all about the white rich girl named Suzy who became Sue Africa and then Ria Africa. For decades Ria has used the power given to her by MOVE founder Vincent Leaphart and then 2nd leader Alberta Wicker to abuse black children while saying she herself was not white and then Alberta saying she was white and not black. And then there is the whole thing about the white cult within the MOVE cult and the Hollywood director who fan girls over MOVE's cult fashion icon RIA.

Mumia Abu Jamal and the MOVE Minister of Confrontation, Pam Africa Dec 29, 2022

Mumia Abu Jamal is mostly known to the world as a former black panther, former radio journalist and for the last 41 years as a convicted murderer who had been sentenced to death but now is serving life in prison without parole. What is less known about Mumia Abu Jamal is his long history with MOVE before he shoots Officer Daniel Faulkner on December 9, 1981 and that Mumia's lead publicist "handler" Pam Africa is also the Minister of Confrontation for MOVE. Utilizing an audio cassette exclusivey obtained by the podcast this episode examines the undeniable 40+ year connections between MOVE, Mumia Abu Jamal and murdered ex-MOVE member John Gilbride. Mumia and MOVE are one in the same thing, there is no halfsies or casual relationships that span 45 years like Mumia Abu Jamal aka Wesley Cook. This episode will leave you with questions that the podcast could not get answered after repeatedly reaching out to Mumia and his lawyers/publicists.

50 Years A Cult - Media, Money, Mumia & Monsters featuring former MOVE member Rain Africa Dec 28, 2022

The Coordinator Dec 10, 2022

This episode examines the real man behind THE COORDINATOR of MOVE, Vincent Leaphart, the leader and creator of the group who gave himself the name of JOHN AFRICA and the title of THE COORDINATOR. Vincent Leaphart, like most cult leaders, put his followers on the front line of his "revolution" and they certainly paid the price with their freedom and in some cases their lives.

The Meaning of Life Africa: how MOVE exploited the deaths of their own children Dec 05, 2022

*CW: discussion of infant deaths, child neglect, child abuse, and police brutality.
MOVE says their religion is Life. "JOHN AFRICA taught us that Life is the priority. Nothing is more important or as important as Life, the force that keeps us alive. All life comes from one source, from God, Mom Nature, Mama. Each individual life is dependent on every other life, and all life has a purpose, so all living beings, things that move, are equally important whether they are human beings, dogs, birds, fish, trees, ants, weeds, rivers, wind or rain." - 25 Year On The Move
This episode examines Life Africa, a baby boy born into the organization in March 1976 that MOVE says was murdered by police. This tragic event has been shared by MOVE as a justification for taking up arms against the system in 1977. In examining this infant death the podcast team uncovers other alleged infant deaths.

Kwashiorkor: the deliberate malnourishment of MOVE children Nov 28, 2022

*CW: child neglect and abuse.
MOVE has always bragged about the health/strength of the children raised in MOVE were even more exceptional because they were raised as the "pure generation" under MOVE Law - the teachings of John Africa but the reality was the children were sick with diseases like Kwashiorkor which is only seen in developing countries experiencing famine.
What are the signs and symptoms of kwashiorkor?

Edema (swelling with fluid, especially in the ankles and feet).
Bloated stomach with ascites (a build-up of fluid in the abdominal cavity).
Dry, brittle hair, hair loss and loss of pigment in hair.
Dermatitis — dry, peeling skin, scaly patches or red patches.
Enlarged liver, a symptom of fatty liver disease.
Depleted muscle mass but retained subcutaneous fat (under the skin).
Dehydration.
Loss of appetite (anorexia).
Irritability and fatigue.
Stunted growth in children.

Guidelines, Guns and Going Against John Africa Nov 14, 2022

MOVE claims that their "organization" was created by one man, a black man named Vincent Leaphart. Vincent did not create the MOVE cult by himself, he had a lot of help from a white graduate student named Donald Glassey who then escaped and became a government informant in order to stop Vincent's bomb plot.

Knock, knock, it's Beth. Apr 25, 2022

MOVE likes to say that John Gilbride is still alive and living under an assumed name working for the US Government who is, of course, hell bent on destroying MOVE. John Gilbride is dead and we have obtained the Medical Examiner's Report stating exactly how he died on September 26, 2002.

This whole podcast got started when Bob shared the story of MOVE and May 13th 1985 with Beth and got her hooked on learning as much as she could but then one interview spins her around and sends the whole focus and podcast down an unsolved murder rabbit hole that leads deep into the MOVE organization that even ties back to Hollywood film royalty - Steven Spielberg.

Follow The Money Oct 18, 2021

Every murder investigation looks at motive - why does someone want someone else dead? Common motives are jealousy and money. One of the core secrets about MOVE is the source of their money and that would be a something that John Gilbride would have been privy to and so maybe MOVE vs. John Gilbride is about more than child custody. .

MOVE "Meetings" Aug 19, 2021

*CONTENT WARNING - domestic abuse/violence and homophobic slurs.
John Gilbride was a victim of cultic abuse and control inside of MOVE and according to Mario Hardy (formerly Mario Africa) John was also a battered husband who finally escaped MOVE only to resurface and take Alberta to court which was seen as an act of war against MOVE. This is the first time former MOVE member MARIO AFRICA has ever told this story because he himself has feared MOVE retaliation and disconnection from his two children born into MOVE.

Into the MOVE Web Jul 29, 2021

No one joins a cult. 17 year old John Gilbride gets lured into MOVE in the summer of 1985 after the deadly confrontation with police that resulted in a fire that destroyed 61 homes and took the lives of 6 adult MOVE members and 5 children who were inside MOVE headquarters on May 13, 1985. It would be years later when John's parents even discover that he has become a MOVE member which prompts them to seek out cult interventionists in the hopes of getting John to leave MOVE before it is too late.
