Show Notes
The Love Has Won Cult was led by Amy Carlson, who died from alcohol abuse, anorexia, and colloidal silver dosing at the age of only 45 on April 16th, 2021. She'd badly needed medical treatment for two years, but didn't trust "3D hospitals" because she thought she was Mother God, a 5D being. And one of her galactic spiritual advisors, Robin Williams, forbid her from receiving treatment. Oh yeah, this is an especially weird one...
