Скачать или смотреть Hawthorne Brothers (Salem, Massachusetts, 1834): the Divine Healing Sanctuary That Killed for Profit

In 1834, three brothers—Dr. Cornelius, Reverend Obadiah, and apothecary Ezekiel Hawthorne—opened a “Divine Healing Sanctuary” on the outskirts of Salem. Behind the chapel altar, hidden beneath floorboards, they built a chemical laboratory designed not to cure disease—but to create it.

Patients were dosed with compounds that induced paralysis, blindness, and tumors—then “miraculously healed” for enormous fees.

Those who were genuinely ill posed a threat to their 100% success rate. They were quietly eliminated.

When authorities finally uncovered the sanctuary, they found 847 detailed journals documenting artificial illnesses, staged cures, and systematic experimentation.
The execution of Cornelius and Obadiah on March 15, 1841 ended the visible operation—but Ezekiel’s later confession revealed something darker: the brothers had been studying how faith itself could be weaponized to control entire communities.
This wasn’t just medical fraud. It was engineered belief—monetized, documented, and scaled.
