In the turmoil of 1930s America, Mankind United emerged, promising salvation from global injustice and hardship. Founded by Arthur Bell, this enigmatic movement painted a world gripped by the covert powers of ’Hidden Rulers’ and ’Money Changers, ’ whom Bell blamed for war, poverty, and suffering.
Mankind United promoted a revolutionary counterforce: the ’Sponsors, ’ who would soon unveil a new order based on equality, minimal work hours, universal employment, and a unique financial system. Driven by the mission of the ’Pacific Coast Division of North America, International Registration Bureau, ’ Bell’s followers believed that achieving their utopian vision depended on garnering mass support.
Set within the unique context of a burgeoning religious fervor in 20th-century California, this book captures the ideals, promises, and eventual demise of one of history’s most peculiar cults-a profound exploration of society’s yearning for transformation.
