A 1930s California cult that prefigured QAnon and posited a world-shattering battle between the "Secret Rulers" and "The Sponsors". Its leader, Arthur Bell, enlisted people in the "Universal Service Corporation" and made them participate in a multi-level-marketing scheme to sell books. Bell's vision also included "a race of little men with metallic heads who lived at the center of the earth" among many other oddities. The cult eventually morphed into a church after some unwanted attention by the FBI. Ryan Serisu of the Rumor Flies podcast has done in-depth research on the subject and guest wrote the episode.

Remember "Superman vs the Mole Men"

As an archivist, I laughed when Ryan was talking about wanting the librarians to know that he was disgusted by the racist materials. We understand that research isn’t always pretty, I promise!

The money idea is not without basis. It is called "Demurrage" or "Schwundgeld" and the idea is that money, just as any other resources, should depreciate with time, not increase in value.

I was once an curator of Radical Islamic and White Nationalist materials - it definitely isn't a walk in the park haha.

The society structure sounds more like the Great Houses of Dune than 40K.

Any relation to the Coast to Coast Art Bell?

"Explain the lore of Warhammer 40k" Okay, so, first you take a Mattel executive, and you give him a bunch of action figures based on Rob Liefeld art. That guy then gets a bunch of people who really dislike Rob Liefeld, and tells them they have to write stories aimed at Rob Liefeld fans. He then fills the room with marijuana or some other drug that makes them loopy and giggly and puts them in a good mood. Then once a week he runs in and tells them to come up with an explanation for why this new action figure he wants to sell is really cool. This leads to things like "What if these super genetically engineered warriors were also half-werewolf?" or "What if this entire species had the power of Haruhi Suzumiya, but were also really really stupid?" Or "What if the movie Hellraiser?" He then goes and takes those stories to ANOTHER set of writers, and tells them to write MORE stories that explain why the first group of stories makes any sense at all. And explain why some of the bad guys who look exactly like the good guys are evil instead of good. Then some people are randomly selected and told to write fanfiction about the stuff those guys made up, BUT, that this fanfiction has to try to stay in continuity with all the stuff that has come before it, and all the stuff that is currently being created that they don't know about as well. Repeat for 35 years.
