When ‘Experts’ Become the Scammers!

What if the person you trust in an industry to guide you…is actually part of the scam?

We assume so-called experts are objective, impartial, trustworthy. That their training, knowledge and credentials protect them from any form of manipulation. Time and time again, marketing slogans tell us to “trust the science”. But what happens when the mask fades and we realise these people in positions of authority are just as susceptible to being scammed and therefore passing on a scam to us? In this article you will read about a social experiment exposing so-called experts, and then relating that to a far more damning and devastating example of when self-entitled ‘cult expert’ Alexandra Stein was caught by Lighthouse Global for severe wrongdoing and damage as part of the BBC hit piece on us.

“Luxury” Tap Water

In the video below, we see a prankster showcase a recent hoax experiment he conducted which exposed something deeply uncomfortable. He created a fake luxury Italian bottled water brand — Acqua Di Rubenetto (which literally translates as “tap water!”). He used elegant wine-style bottles and sophisticated labels. The contents? Ordinary tap water from a sink!!

See for yourself how so-called experts responded to the tap water when they thought it was a luxury brand…

How The ‘Experts’ Were Scammed

They weren’t tasting water.

They were tasting self and mutual manipulation. These weren’t random shoppers in a supermarket aisle. They were individuals positioned as knowledgeable participants, specifically performing discernment for others. They wanted to present a social image of themselves, rather than being conscious of their flaws and taking responsibility for them. Just as we can all be guilty of.

But now scale this up, because when so-called experts endorse alleged crimes, supposed scientific discoveries and mainstream media news items, what are the larger scale effects for us all? Are they really evaluating substance, or are they responding to presentation, exclusivity, and the desire to appear sophisticated? And how many more are scammed through them as a result?

Experts Like Alexandra Stein Can Cause Severe Damage

Not only can people in positions of authority be easily scammed, but they can then go on to cause immense harm because of the scale of their influence. We experienced this first-hand at Lighthouse with self-entitled ‘cult expert’ Alexandra Stein PhD. Here’s the parallel with the water tasting scam; Stein believed the false, malicious claims of former clients, as well as the claims of deeply hateful parents and family members who had actually abused their own children/family members, hated the reality that their children were beginning to thrive and becoming free from their abuse. Stein was scammed and deluded herself, to believing the false allegations about Lighthouse, but she never sought to fact-check anything herself. Stein, along with other critics and haters, was even offered the opportunity to objectively investigate Lighthouse first-hand, by CEO Paul Waugh himself. She declined multiple offers that included covering her expenses, in order to do so without constraint!

Having refused to conduct genuine research with Lighthouse, she then proceeded to use her credentials as the BBC’s supposed ‘expert’, by endorsing the falsehoods and lies being spread about Lighthouse in A Very British Cult. This caused major, almost irreversible damage to Lighthouse, its reputation and safety, with those in the organisation receiving multiple death threats as a result. Some of our brothers and sisters here were pushed to the point of trying to end their own lives, such was the devastation being wrought upon us. Ms Stein, like many other ‘experts’ caught in their wrongdoing, has never apologised or sought to take responsibility.

We have publicly held Ms Stein, the BBC and said families accountable to all of their wrongdoings. Including creating dedicated websites for Ms Stein and others. Not once have the BBC, Ms Stein, or any other individual sought to take legal action against Lighthouse for these claims. Why? Ms Stein has the backing of the University of Birkbeck, London, the University of Westminster, the University of Minnesota, and was until recently an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Sussex. Her peers have indeed been copied in on this article for their own review. The BBC have millions at their disposal (thanks to the forced licence fee payments they receive) and would be able to sue for defamation easily if they chose to. One can logically conclude that the charges Lighthouse has publicly laid out about these individuals and organisations are therefore true. That legal action against Lighthouse would not only be financially costly, but a legal and reputational suicide mission.

How Everyday Citizens Become Scammed

The Establishment knows that the majority of citizens rely on trusted authorities; doctors, teachers, business experts, etc., to guide them in making the best choices. In an ideal world, this would work perfectly, but in the world we live in – Scamtopia – we are promised utopia and scammed through the very sources, individuals and institutions we put our trust in. Not all of them. But this is how the Establishment can easily get the population of a country to comply against our own best interests. We have seen this, for example, with thousands of parents endorsing their own child’s “change of gender” because a doctor placed the threat of that child committing suicide on the table if they didn’t.

Instead of being educated to think critically for ourselves, we are groomed to become “learned helpless” and through this we intellectually surrender to rely on the opinions of others who are in positions of expertise. Not only are we scammed about the actual products we buy and use, but we are fundamentally scammed out of a true education in the first place, where we ought to have learnt essential life-skills to discern these things for ourselves.

What Can We Do To Stop Being Scammed?

So the lessons here are crucial for us all…

We need to be extremely careful with whom we appoint to have authority in important areas of life and business, and whom we trust with that level of influence. To the degree such people are not willing to be accountable for their opinions and are unable to legitimately back those up, as was the case with Ms Stein, they cannot be trusted.

But we cannot reject expertise entirely; that would be foolish and reckless. We need to recognise how readily and willingly we can surrender our intellect to those labelled as ‘experts’ and that credentials do not eliminate bias and our ability to be scammed by them. Titles and academic letters after a name do not automatically equal intelligence and legitimacy, and an air of confidence does not mean they are telling the truth. You can learn directly from our experiences with so-called ‘cult expert’ Alexandra Stein, and how we are holding her accountable for her destructive, damaging and careless abuse of her position.

Next time an expert praises a premium product, ask: are they truly analysing the substance or trying to falsely influence you, even if they don’t realise it? Are they part of the scam? Because when authority is swayed by branding, we can’t trust the result.
