Today I’m honored to introduce you all to: MONARCH, ritual abuse and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and now whistleblower, singer. song and poetry writer, guitar player and music lover, martial artist, future author of his own memoirs and book series, and a courageous warrior stepping up to share his testimony for the very first time today: Luke

A little bit about Luke and what you can expect to hear about in today’s episode:

Luke stands as a living embodiment of the human spirit’s fierce refusal to be extinguished. At 33 years old - a number he wryly claims as his own “33rd degree” - he carries the bloodline of a Mormon prophet several generations back, a lineage that may have marked him for targeting by forces that thrive on secrecy and power. Yet what was meant to destroy him has instead forged something unbreakable.

From childhood he was subjected to methodical, ritualized torture at the hands of a witch coven whose members moved seamlessly between Freemasonry, the Mormon church, and the production of snuff films and child pornography. They subjected Luke to atrocities beyond naming. The goal was not merely pain; it was total possession of body, mind, and soul. He was not only victimized—he was drawn into participation, made to touch the raw malevolence that exists, latent, in every human being. The programming did not merely coerce; it awakened and tried to weaponize his own shadow. Luke eventually refused to join them. For that refusal he was hit with what he identifies as “ultimate mental chaos programming” - a deliberate assault designed to fracture the mind, drive a person into homelessness, addiction, schizophrenia, suicide, or homicide. He survived. Not by chance alone, but through a combination of raw, berserker toughness, moments of divine grace, and an astonishing refusal to let the darkness have the final word.

Long before the memories returned, two lifelines held him steady. Music - triggered vivid, cinematic visions complete with storylines. He later understood these were not random; they were incomplete survival procedures his nervous system was finally ready to process and finish. Singing, songwriting, poetry, martial arts, dreaming up novels, and playing guitar became daily acts of resistance. Most powerfully, The Lord of the Rings struck him like lightning. The image of Frodo walking toward Mordor, carrying the One Ring alone while no one else could comprehend the weight, spoke directly to the isolation and burden Luke already carried. That story kept his heart from surrendering or turning evil when surrender and evil were terrifyingly close.

For years he lived the outward life of a successful plumber, earning good money while drinking and working himself to exhaustion to silence the nameless wrongness inside. Insight alone could not heal what memory had buried. At thirty the memories surfaced. Five suicide attempts followed, one so close that only a sudden, miniature vision pulled him back from the edge. Following the counsel of fellow survivor Cathy O’Brien, he began writing the memories down. The act itself became medicine. For the first time he could sleep. The suicidal drive that had shadowed him since he was thirteen began to lift. Healing reached the level of his nervous system and his energetic being. More memories remain, yet the trajectory is clear: the desire to end his life has left him.

Today Luke moves through a world that still tries to harass and isolate him in every workplace. He knows trust does not come easily - how could it, after such betrayal? - yet that very distrust has sharpened his vision. He sees that trust is the only true currency between people, and that the same forces that once tried to destroy him are working now to erode it everywhere.
