Santo Domingo.- The shootout with a religious sect linked to the group of Germans which attacked a police patrol during a raid of their property, with one sect member killed and three agents hurt, could’ve unleashed a massacre such was that in Waco, Texas in 1993, said Police chief Jose Polanco.
The sect had built a fortified compound to survive an alleged cataclysm they expected in December 2012, based on the Mayan prediction, and prepared it militarily to defend it in the ensuing chaos.
The group’s mix of beliefs included Buddhism, Maya culture, Sahi Baba, Christianity and extraterrestrials, information they believe is shrouded by the major world powers and the media.
The cult members lived shut off from the world in a compound of some 20 luxury homes in Sosúa, Puerto Plata. They didn’t allow people outside the organization to enter and had several run-ins with police and other authorities.
The sect called "The Academy For Future Health” (AFFH) is led by the German Peter Brunk, whose control over his followers and mind control was such that it’s now being compared with that exerted by David Koresh over his followers in 1993, when a raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas left dozens dead and catapulted him to world notoriety.
One of the German detainees revealed that the group also has a property in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Family Conflict
Five years ago one of Brunck’s sons left the sect on personal problems in Germany and revealed everything about the group, prompting an investigation there and German journalists visiting the Dominican Republic.
The reporters, unable to enter the compound, managed to fly over the area in an Air Force helicopter, but were attacked by some of the people within the complex of villas.
In December, 2006 two masked gunmen on a motorcycle shot Brunck, but survived because he was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time.

That is some heavy armament in the photo caption, including assault and sniper rifles, crossbows (for silent killing), shotguns and sub-machineguns.
Question is how they got those weapons in the country, and what will happen to all those homes that where paid for...maybe legally?.
Hope that judicial and police officials are not moving in soon.

i am SHOCKED that a group like this would be allowed to exist in D.R. The fact that they lived in a compound of twenty luxury is a strong hint that they were allowed to do as they pleased because they are wealthy.
But being allowed to operate as an OBVIOUS doomsday cult, in D.R., with the authorities suspecting that they had a cache of weapons is shocking.
I wonder if the OBVIOUS fact that they were WHITE had anything to do with the police looking the other way? I wouldn't be surprised at all if THAT were the REAL reason. You can be white and get away with anything down there. Just don't be mulatto and think you can pull the same shit.
I bet also that is the reason no video nor pictures of these people exist either.

brucito,
Your comments are soooooooooo stupid. Look at the huge number of organised militant anti-Govt groups that live in the "boonies" with hundreds of banned weapons, in the US. The authorities in the US have known for years that they are there, and what action do they taken? NADA.
You are so ignorant of what really happens in this country. Do you have any idea of just how many ex pat wanted criminals that have been found by the cops here and repatriated to their country? NO you dont! & for your information there are lots of photos and videos of those scumbags and that compound. The cops here dont blah blah about what they do to the press, like the American cops, who love the attention and who of course are all "HEROS", yeah right
From: Dominican Republic
There is a lot more about that group and a lot more Germans involved that I bet are already "running" But I have no intention of posting that info on here
& by the way, the largest number of wanted criminals that were repatriated were,,,,,,,,Americans!

Its easy for them to get weapons in. There are regular containers arriving from Germany and any Germans here can order what they like. The German importer is based in Santo Domingo, they used to have an office in Sosua, but it closed down.
Police dogs and the Military are now on site in the compound, to thoroughly continue the search. The photos of what they had in there are shocking, there is a lot more that has not been reported in the media

SAS,
All you did was re-write the comments that Gen and Bruce made but, in a different tone....
And, why is it that everyone that wants to defend, says" It happens in the U.S and elsewhere!!".... SO FRAKING WHAT!!!! The Dominican republic is in a better position in all aspects and we have incompetents running this rig, Split tongue devils looking out for themselves and create unrest among the population. .
Bottom line is that we have a broken system in DR, so broken that it's torn apart.

Why would some local make this comparison to Koresh? Were the members essentially brainwashed captives waiting to commit suicide? Did the 1 cult leader have 12 year old girls that he raped, claiming that it was God's will? There have been plenty of doomsday Colts all over the world in the last 30 or 40 years. Was this comparison just for melodrama or just out of ignorance? These people certainly sound more like survivalists anyway.

what is stupid about the guy's remarks? i will join with him, so you can call me stupid, too. do you really believe that the DR public authorities would have allowed a group of black guys from Camden , NJ to set up this kind of operation in the DR? these guys have been here for over 6 years, and have been allowed to operate, unmolested. as to the militants who live in the woods in places like Oregon...know the difference? they are operating in their own country, that is the difference. these guys are foreigners, who have set up their own kingdom in Sosua. how did they get away with it?

Haiti: Mother Arrested, Hougan on the Run after Death of 4 Children
MARBIAL, Haiti Police in the Sud-Est have arrested 29 year old mother Andre-Marc Chery and are searching for a hougan named Wilber Louverture after four of Chery's children, aged 15 months to 7 years old, were found dead Friday morning.
Police say single mother of four, Andre-Marc Chery, brought the hougan (Vodou priest) to their home to produce medicine for her children who had fallen ill.
The children, three girls and a boy named, Mirlande, 7, Tony, 4, Sophiana, 3, Florana, 1, took the medicine of the hougan the night before and had gone to sleep according to the testimony given to the police. But the police say two of the children had both their eyes gouged and all had contusions on their body and signs of trauma on their faces.
From: Haiti
The spokesman for the police department of nearby Jacmel says investigators are not able to rule out the possibility of other participants in the crime, which has not yet been declared man slaughter or murder.
Petit says the mother, who sleeps in the same room as the children, has complicated the investigation by not being able to declare if the hougan is responsible. The mother has gone so far as to suggest the possibility of unknown individuals entering the home, after all were asleep, and committing the acts.
The mother has not given police any further information and is said to not be cooperating, the police spokesman Jacques Petit denounced. Justice officials gave warrant for the police to arrest and hold the mother of the slain children as the investigation continues.
Police searched the home of Hougan Wilber Louverture where he was not found and whereabouts are unknown. Justice officials have granted a warrant of arrest for Louverture.

Unlike you HatianPrinces, I have mother jokes that CAN be posted publicly, which is far different from what I left in you in box. Let me start with one I did back in P.S 104 in 80's. I think I was 11 or 12 and it went like this:
Your mother is so dumb, ( this is were my buddy chimes in)(How dumb is she) Your mother is so dumb, she got hit by a parked car.
lol...That was different, right, my dark grey residue?

There has been a global agenda to push this 2012 doomsday prochesy into fruition , they have publish a million books, movies and tv shows have come out saying on dec 21 2012 the end of the world . which is simply not true but what will happen is ,The equator of the Milky Way galaxy (Galactic Equator) and the path of the Sun (the Ecliptic) will cross each other at exactly 11:11 am GMT on December 21, 2012. What does this mean exactly? Or, even better, what is the probability of this occurring?
Every year on the winter solstice, our Sun has a Declination of -23.5 degrees, and a Right Ascension of 18 hours. But what makes the alignment of 2012 special is how this alignment occurs relative to very distant stars. On December 21, 2012, the alignment will be right along the plane of the entire galaxy. This precession of the equinoxes goes in a complete circle and happens only once every 26,000 years. In other words, the winter solstice moves 360 degrees every 26,000 years, or 0.01 degrees
