Yeah, I... Did "vet" this a bit, but unfortunately I probably chose/relied on the wrong people to vet it...
It's also extraordinarily obscure (because it's a private training organization, not a University), so remarkably difficult to find bad/external reviews...
If I can change any one thing out of this, it will be that. They need someone to speak up about this.
And if they sue me for libel, or try to? Fuck 'em. Once I'm outside Sweden, I'm more than willing to take that on.
I'm already beginning to see things unravel, here (i.e. even their own community/the wider village and town has started to reject them for being "too radical"), so I'm more than willing to be the straw that broke the camel's back...
This thing, whatever it is, is being sold as an "educational program". I sincerely hope that I'm one of the last people/in one of the last cohorts to be duped by that.
We're also mostly being "taught"/brainwashed by alumni from previous years, so yeah, it is that successful at roping people in. Many are intermarried, and a fair number still live in the village/nearby town...
Time for the whole house of cards to come down, I think. Or at least start to.
It won't help me, but if I can try to prevent others from falling into this trap, in future, then at least something positive comes of it...
I've already convinced two young women (who were considering it) not to come here, so in that, I guess perhaps I have done some good.
But yeah, it's... Frighteningly fucked up. But at least I can see that now.
I'm trying. It's more legally, financially and logistically difficult than you might imagine (as I tried to detail, at least in part)...
But yes, that is the plan, ASAP. Once I am (hopefully) in a position where doing that won't have as much long-lasting consequence in my life as doing so right now would, then yeah, I'm outta here.
I've already spoken to the Aus Embassy, in person, and they were like, "Best of luck, but not our problem", so...

Not to criticize you, because I'm pretty sure you already realize this, but the more effect something has on your life, the more thorough your vetting should be.
Re: exposing them. Just record as much damaging information as you can.

TRAITOR. You're helping the ENEMY avoid destroying their lives??? [/imp]

Or you could just hightail it out of there?

I'm working on it, to say the least.
