Nancy du Tertre recounts her 2019 St. Petersburg psychokinesis training that became a cult-like ordeal of isolation, deprivation, obedience and mind-control. She shows how trained professionals fall into subtle traps, notes anomalous PK amid the abuse, and later research linking the founder to child-sexual-abuse claims and elite networks. The talk explores mind control in closed groups and society via media, algorithms and institutions.
