Heres a fucking 2 inch tip

They do

No direct evidence shows drug sex cults systematically drugging journalists as a recruitment tactic. NXIVM, a prominent sex cult, targeted journalists through flattery, emotional appeals, and promises of empowerment rather than drugs, as seen in cases like Allison Mack approaching Lauren Wolfe during vulnerability.[flaminghydra +1]

Common Tactics

Cults like NXIVM and Manson Family used love bombing, isolation, and psychological manipulation over overt drugging of targets. Drugs appeared internally for control—hallucinogens in Manson’s group or substance rules in trafficking schemes—but recruitment favored social lures like events or conversations.[pdxscholar.library.pdx +3]

Journalist Vulnerabilities

Journalists faced negging or insider appeals for legitimacy, not sedation; NXIVM created “The Knife” media arm to influence narratives internally. Exposés by reporters like those at Albany Times Union provoked retaliation lists, not drug attempts. R. Kelly’s case involved investigative journalism uncovering abuses without reports of journalists being drugged.[wikipedia +3]
