There's a different cult with a center in WDC with ties to HRC.... called The Family... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family:_The_Secret_Fundamentalism_at_the_Heart_of_American_Power

You're right, there are two cults called The Family. From my knowledge, the one that had ties to the White House was NOT the one River was part of (i.e. Children of God/ The Family/ The Family International.) I'm pretty sure The Family with ties to the WH was the one where all the kids had that weird haircut and dyed blonde hair.... Thanks for sharing the link

Actually, that makes THREE totally different cults that we know of calling themselves The Family. The blonde kids are Australian, and brought forth Assange: https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/d757dy/a-look-inside-australias-most-notorious-cult-the-family The one in WDC I mentioned above also calls itself The Fellowship, and it's really more about think-tank, espionage, spook-type government influence stuff. But it only makes sense that such a seminal concept as "family" would be repurposed by more than one dishonest con artist. Similar to the situation with "satanic" cults... NOT a hierarchical organization all connected to one dogma. The idea of The Opposite of God is free for interpretation by all. And is very attractive to con persons seeking to present a structure that can be used to sanction their deviant behavior and attract victims and co-conspirators.

And let's not forget our other very famous Family. We don't think of "organized crime" as a "cult" but they do share certain important characteristics, especially when it comes to using the concept of "family" to make its members forgo their own real natural families in favor of an enforced alliance with this criminal gang that dominates and exploits its own members. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famiglia_(Mafia)
