In the early 1970s, a fear raced through America like wildfire: vague and shadowy “cults” were enthralling the country’s youth. In response, many families looked to Ted “Black Lightning” Patrick, the father of a technique called deprogramming – a way to “reverse brainwash” the corrupted generation. Using methods that were frighteningly harsh – such as locking his targets in motel rooms for days at a time, while consistently breaking down their will to resist – Patrick epitomized the willingness of an entire nation to resort to desperate measures.
