Unified Tribe has tried to destroy many lives and ironically, the people who have managed to leave are successful, and productive people.

MICHAEL MENDEZ - aka "Magic" is an over-the-hill, talentless and pudgy wannabe musician who has a perverted view of relationships, sex and family BESIDES BEING DELUSIONAL. After years of trying to do something in the music world he has managed to simply fail, surround himself with women, now old, who do not want to work and settle for mediocrity, all of whom are narcissistic.

SHARI SWEAT MENDEZ - aka "Starr" does not even have the respect of Magic even though he is her husband. While he makes advances on anyone of the female persuasion, she has no alternative but to join the others trying to procure new, young girls for his sexual appetite along with:

MERRILY GARRETT - aka "Merrily"
AMELIA BLACKWELL - aka "Harmony"
LINDA (HOFFMAN) DUFFY - aka "Linda"

And here's the sad part. In addition to what others have stated on this report, these women will never be able to do anything else but be slaves. They are too old to get worthwhile jobs, have spent their lives stealing, taking advantage, recording music and faking performances, playing at multiple relationships, using people and threatening their members; NEVER accomplishing anything worthwhile. A CULT?? Yes! WORTHWHILE? No!
GET AWAY FROM THIS SLEEZY BUNCH OF EXCUSES FOR HUMANS! They are TOXIC!

Magic and Jessi,

You need to return Kara's sax. I know that this is just an instrument but the fact that you didn't give her back what she bought and is rightfully hers just proves even deeper the hipocracy in this group.

Magic you have taken soooo much from everyone you have ever been in contact with one way or another. You are like a parasite. Kara deserves to have her instrument back and not have you trying to rub your crap in her face by allowing Jessi to just take over her instrument, that is horrible. Start doing the right thing people and start taking responsibility for all of your wrong doing.

It is typical that when someone leaves they are lucky to get the clothes on their back let alone their special belongings. You have stolen instruments, inheritances, more money than we can even imagine and many peoples belongings that you just felt you didn't want to give back. That is absolutely terrible. You owe us so much more than you can ever imagine from everything you have taken from us, however you should start with giving Kara back what is hers.

Please grow up and do the right thing.

Jessi,

You seem like a sweet and nice person. I've also heard that you have a gorgeous singing voice.
I did notice in the u tube video that you're using my beautiful Yamaha tenor saxophone. I bought that saxophone with the money that my grandfather left for me when he pasted. That saxophone means a lot to me, I'd love to have that back.
May we make arrangements to have it returned to the correct owner?

Sincerely,
Kara

Jessi,

I think that you will go far in the industry. You have wonderful stage presence and a beautiful voice. I agree that even though you are still learning the sax, I know you will probably become a great player. My point was even as a novice I just hope that Magic will start to let you really express yourselves as you deserve to and let you all play without all of the machines and backup. Every person in the Tribe is talented and deserves to express themselves as they wish.

My main point was that I just don't want to see anyone's true potential to be lost within the group because many people have been through losing their dream in the Tribe. You don't need to fluff your feathers at any of us because it is clear you have some talent and I am sure you will grow leaps and bounds ego and all. My biggest message is just make sure that you are doing exactly what your truth is telling you to do and if it is to stay in the Tribe then so it is. Life is tooooo short to be not living our own truth. Also no one knows or can tell you what your true path is better than you, just never forget that.

Take care

Hello to all who have posted,

I have never met any of you and yet some claim to know me so well. If there is someone posting that is a "friend" of the tribe's with a hidden agenda, then you know very well I am not one to be "controlled" or" brainwashed". However there is some pain you must have that is unresolved that is very obviouse to me. I am not speaking to discount your feelings of anger,concern, worry, those are all your experiences to sort out. I am posting to acknowledge your desperation and to ask that you please respect my choices of expression and experience. I have a video of my grandmother and myself posted on the internet so my family who don't live near can see my latest form of expression!! Yes i am novice....absolutely ! One must began somewhere before they can arrive. And that i will. I find it interesting that we would try to discourage such things to relieve some type of pain within ourselves. It was an honor for me to be able to play sax with my grandmother. but if that video offended anyone in any way I do apologize,if not then please know your words only fuel the drive I have achieved all my dreams with. My ego serves me in that way!

I am proud of every choice I have made because I understand there is a cause and effect ALWAYS!! Common sence taught me that. I have also learned through life experience that the truth will always be revealed and so I will end by saying I love all of the people who make up Unified Tribe...they are my family,my friends and my choice. I love them , I support them and stand by them!

Respectfully
Jessi

I am realizing now that Jessi is probably not allowed to read these posts anymore. Magic has probably come up not some crazy esoteric reason why it is not healthy for her or anyone to read them. Saying things like "WE are above all of this slander and we will not let it take away our power." and blah blah blah. He is probably terrified that something might click in jessi's intelligent brain and get her to start questioning him and possibly leave him. I know that Jessi has become Magic little pet project and will do anything to keep her brainwashed.

Magic you may know now that you have screwed with the wrong people. Because you always wanted to attract intelligent, well rounded and educated people that is what you got and that is what is bringing you down. You then proceeded to screw us all over and now you have a bunch of brilliant minds working on exposing you. I think you got so lost in your ego and narsism that you truly thought you were unstoppable. Well you are no different from any other human being, you don't have Magical powers, or some divine connection or some preplanned spiritual mission, it is all a con. I will benifit you the doubt, maybe back in your youth you really wanted to do good things but once you realized how to manipulate people to get what you want you just found ways to qualify that every sick twisted thing you were doing was for the best. Now you have perfected to get the things you want most, Power, Sex and Money, lots of food to I imagine. I am actually sad for you because you could have done great things Magic but now you have just lived up to your origional name (Black Magic). You always told us girls that if you started to show signs of losing your integrity and getting dark that we needed to tell you and get out. Well Magic that is what is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a long look in the mirror, you are as dark as it gets except you are one of the worst. Walking up to people showing an illusion and a smile while sucking their lives away for your gain, WOW. That is going to be some major Karma to pay off.

I imagine that you will probably just start talking about suicide again because you are so much of a coward that you would rather kill yourself than take responsibility and have to pay for your consequences. I don't care if you take yourself out but please tell the others the truth and let them go, they don't deserve to have to pay your consequences by taking their life for you. Dont' fall as so many cult leaders do and follow through with the suicide pact. Be a real man Magic and start living up to who you pretend to be.

Take care

I posted an email address and would really appreciate if we could get in contact. I'm fairly certain you can help me understand all of this or at least some of it and how to move past it.

First I want to say BRAVO to the individual that is still involved with the Tribe and is waking up. It takes alot of strength to not only admit to yourself what the Tribe really is but it takes alot more strength to then speak out against them. I am here for you if you need anything.

Addressing Juliete, sorry if I misspelled your name. I totally understand your defensiveness and why you are feeling what you are feeling. I would have been the same way before I figured out what I was involved in, especially since integrity and loyalty is one of the biggest talked about themes in the Tribe. I remember always feeling so badly for Magic because he always had so many sob stories that it made all of us want to just help and protect him. Magic knows how to manipulate people with integrity and people with good hearts. Magic surrounds himself with these people to make himself look better. Along with this he has become a master with words and the human pshyche. I know from my own experience that Magic and Starr were really really good at manipulating my good nature and my emotions. You have really no idea how brilliant these people are, they are masters at their game. Some of the hurt you are seeing from them now is probably very real, because they know that this campaign is stepping them closer and closer to losing this cushy life they have had by controlling people for over 25 years.

We are not criticizing peoples musical talent to hurt the individual. Yes Jessi can play the saxophone however not very well, you have exposed how much of a novice you are. She does have a beautiful voice though. Everyone in the group can play their instruments but that doesn't change the fact that Magic runs tracks even in rehearsal. This is just an example of his illusion and that is what I am trying to point out.

Honestly Magic and Starr have maybe only worked one real job in their entire lives and I am pretty sure Magic doesn't even have a high school diploma. They rely very much on taking advantage of people and getting people to take care of them. They know that if everyone wakes up and sees what they really are they will have to move back to New York. I know they have probably have a stock pile of money but it probably wont give them the cushy life they are used too for the rest of their lives. So I know they are panicking and pulling up everything they can to stop this from exposing them.

I don't think you really know what a cult is, here, let me show you some material.
Info from http://www.dannyhaszard.com/captivehearts.htm

IF YOU CAN SAY THAT YOU HAVE EVEN SEEN 2 OF THESE BEHAVIORS LISTED FROM MAGIC OR STARR THAN YOU ARE FOLLOWING A CULT. MOST OF THIS INFORMATION FITS MAGIC VERY WELL. PLEASE INFORM YOURSELVES.

This is characteristics of a cult and characteristics of you psychopathic leader

12. Irresponsibility/Unreliability

Not concerned about the consequences of their behavior, psychopaths leave behind them the wreckage of others' lives and dreams. They may be totally oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they inflict on others, something which they regard as neither their problem nor their responsibility.

Psychopaths rarely accept blame for their failures or mistakes. Scape goating is common, blaming followers, those outside the group, a member's family, the government, Satan--anyone and everyone but the leader. The blaming may follow a ritualized procedure such as a trial, "hot seat" denunciation, or public confession (either one-on-one or in front of the group). Blame is a powerful reinforcer of passivity and obedience, producing guilt, shame, terror, and conformity in the followers.

13. Promiscuous Sexual behavior/infidelity

Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, polygamy, rape, and sexual acting out of all sorts are frequently practiced by cult leaders. Conversely, there is often stringent sexual control of the followers through such tactics as enforced celibacy, arranged marriages, forced breakups and divorces, removal of children from their parents, forced abortions or mandated births. For psychopaths, sex is primarily a control and power issue.

Marital fidelity is rare in the psychopath's life. There are usually countless reports of extramarital affairs and sexual predation upon adult and child members of both sexes. The sexual behavior of the leader may be kept hidden from all but the inner circle or may be part of accepted group sexual practices. In any case, due to the power imbalance between leader and followers, sexual contact is never truly consensual and is likely to have damaging consequences for the follower.

14. Lack of realistic life plan/parasitic lifestyle

The psychopath tends to move around a lot, making countless efforts at "starting over while seeking out Fertile new ground to exploit. One day he may appear as a rock musician, the next a messiah; one day a used car salesman, the next the founder of a mass self-transformation program; one day a college professor, the next the new "Lenin" bringing revolution to America.

The flip side of this erratic life planning is the all-encompassing promise for the future that the cult leader makes to his followers. Many groups claim as their goal world domination or salvation at the Apocalypse. The leader is the first to proclaim the utopian nature of the group, which is usually simply another justification for irrational behavior and stringent controls.

The leader's sense of entitlement is often demonstrated by the contrast between his luxurious lifestyle and the impoverishment of his followers. Most cult leaders arc supported by gifts and donations from their followers, who may be pressured to turn over much of their income and worldly possessions to the group. Slavery, enforced prostitution, and a variety of illegal acts for the benefit of the leader are common in a cult milieu. This type of exploitation aptly demonstrates Lifton's third point of idealization from below and exploitation from above.

Psychopaths also tend to be preoccupied with their own health while remaining totally indifferent to the suffering of others. They may complain of being "burned out" due to the burden of "caring for" their followers, sometimes stating they do not have long to live, instilling fear and guilt in their devotees and encouraging further servitude. they are highly sensitive to their own pain and tend to be hypochondriacs, which often conflicts with their public image of superhuman self-control and healing abilities.

According to them, the illnesses they don't get are due to their powers, while the ones they do get are caused by their "compassion" in taking on their disciples' karma or solving the group's problems. This of course is another guru trick.

15. Criminal or entrepreneurial versatility

Cult leaders change their image and that of the group as needed to avoid prosecution and litigation, to increase income, and to recruit a range of members. Cult leaders have an innate ability to attract followers who have the skills and connections that the leaders lack. The longevity of the group is dependent on the willingness of leadership to adapt as needed and preserve the group. Frequently, when illegal or immoral activities are exposed to the public, the cult leader will relocate, sometimes taking followers with him. He will keep a low profile, only to resurface later with a new name, a new front group, and perhaps a new twist on the scam.

I know they have probably have a stock pile of money but it probably wont give them the cushy life they are used too for the rest of their lives. So I know they are panicking and pulling up everything they can to stop this from exposing them.

I don't think you really know what a cult is, here, let me show you some material.

IF YOU CAN SAY THAT YOU HAVE EVEN SEEN 2 OF THESE BEHAVIORS LISTED FROM MAGIC OR STARR THAN YOU ARE FOLLOWING A CULT. MOST OF THIS INFORMATION FITS MAGIC VERY WELL. PLEASE INFORM YOURSELVES.

This is characteristics of a cult and characteristics of you psychopathic leader

12. Irresponsibility/Unreliability

Not concerned about the consequences of their behavior, psychopaths leave behind them the wreckage of others' lives and dreams. They may be totally oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they inflict on others, something which they regard as neither their problem nor their responsibility.

Psychopaths rarely accept blame for their failures or mistakes. Scape goating is common, blaming followers, those outside the group, a member's family, the government, Satan--anyone and everyone but the leader. The blaming may follow a ritualized procedure such as a trial, "hot seat" denunciation, or public confession (either one-on-one or in front of the group). Blame is a powerful reinforcer of passivity and obedience, producing guilt, shame, terror, and conformity in the followers.

13. Promiscuous Sexual behavior/infidelity

Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, polygamy, rape, and sexual acting out of all sorts are frequently practiced by cult leaders. Conversely, there is often stringent sexual control of the followers through such tactics as enforced celibacy, arranged marriages, forced breakups and divorces, removal of children from their parents, forced abortions or mandated births. For psychopaths, sex is primarily a control and power issue.

Marital fidelity is rare in the psychopath's life. There are usually countless reports of extramarital affairs and sexual predation upon adult and child members of both sexes. The sexual behavior of the leader may be kept hidden from all but the inner circle or may be part of accepted group sexual practices. In any case, due to the power imbalance between leader and followers, sexual contact is never truly consensual and is likely to have damaging consequences for the follower.

14. Lack of realistic life plan/parasitic lifestyle

The psychopath tends to move around a lot, making countless efforts at "starting over while seeking out Fertile new ground to exploit. One day he may appear as a rock musician, the next a messiah; one day a used car salesman, the next the founder of a mass self-transformation program; one day a college professor, the next the new "Lenin" bringing revolution to America.

The flip side of this erratic life planning is the all-encompassing promise for the future that the cult leader makes to his followers. Many groups claim as their goal world domination or salvation at the Apocalypse. The leader is the first to proclaim the utopian nature of the group, which is usually simply another justification for irrational behavior and stringent controls.

The leader's sense of entitlement is often demonstrated by the contrast between his luxurious lifestyle and the impoverishment of his followers. Most cult leaders arc supported by gifts and donations from their followers, who may be pressured to turn over much of their income and worldly possessions to the group. Slavery, enforced prostitution, and a variety of illegal acts for the benefit of the leader are common in a cult milieu. This type of exploitation aptly demonstrates Lifton's third point of idealization from below and exploitation from above.

Psychopaths also tend to be preoccupied with their own health while remaining totally indifferent to the suffering of others. They may complain of being "burned out" due to the burden of "caring for" their followers, sometimes stating they do not have long to live, instilling fear and guilt in their devotees and encouraging further servitude. they are highly sensitive to their own pain and tend to be hypochondriacs, which often conflicts with their public image of superhuman self-control and healing abilities.

According to them, the illnesses they don't get are due to their powers, while the ones they do get are caused by their "compassion" in taking on their disciples' karma or solving the group's problems. This of course is another guru trick.

15. Criminal or entrepreneurial versatility

Cult leaders change their image and that of the group as needed to avoid prosecution and litigation, to increase income, and to recruit a range of members. Cult leaders have an innate ability to attract followers who have the skills and connections that the leaders lack. The longevity of the group is dependent on the willingness of leadership to adapt as needed and preserve the group. Frequently, when illegal or immoral activities are exposed to the public, the cult leader will relocate, sometimes taking followers with him. He will keep a low profile, only to resurface later with a new name, a new front group, and perhaps a new twist on the scam.

First I want to say BRAVO to the individual that is still involved with the Tribe and is waking up. It takes alot of strength to not only admit to yourself what the Tribe really is but it takes alot more strength to then speak out against them. I am here for you if you need anything.

Addressing Juliete, sorry if I misspelled your name. I totally understand your defensiveness and why you are feeling what you are feeling. I would have been the same way before I figured out what I was involved in, especially since integrity and loyalty is one of the biggest talked about themes in the Tribe. I remember always feeling so badly for Magic because he always had so many sob stories that it made all of us want to just help and protect him. Magic knows how to manipulate people with integrity and people with good hearts. Magic surrounds himself with these people to make himself look better. Along with this he has become a master with words and the human pshyche. I know from my own experience that Magic and Starr were really really good at manipulating my good nature and my emotions. You have really no idea how brilliant these people are, they are masters at their game. Some of the hurt you are seeing from them now is probably very real, because they know that this campaign is stepping them closer and closer to losing this cushy life they have had by controlling people for over 25 years.

We are not criticizing peoples musical talent to hurt the individual. Yes Jessi can play the saxophone however not very well, you have exposed how much of a novice you are. She does have a beautiful voice though. Everyone in the group can play their instruments but that doesn't change the fact that Magic runs tracks even in rehearsal. This is just an example of his illusion and that is what I am trying to point out.

Honestly Magic and Starr have maybe only worked one real job in their entire lives and I am pretty sure Magic doesn't even have a high school diploma. They rely very much on taking advantage of people and getting people to take care of them. They know that if everyone wakes up and sees what they really are they will have to move back to New York.

You seem to think I care what you or anyone else thinks of me, I don't. I'm not threatening you, I actually wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire. I am angry and I'm angry at you and the consequences of the tribes actions that are affecting my life. So you can just cram it with all the hippie comments about positive energy and the flippin' universe. The universe is a place. You might as well send your energy and rainbow wishes to Idaho for all the good it does you, or didn't you notice that yet? The tribe sustains itself on the belief of a cause-and-effect relationship between energy, the universe and the mental attitude held, if this was all true, if everything you guys have come to believe was true then why have you all been walking away from failure after failure all of these years. It's time to start questioning things. Oh yeah, Magic won't allow independant thinking. Maybe you should start with that.

OOPS WRONG AGAIN

#25Consumer Comment

You seem to think you have all the answers but you are dead wrong about this being Jessica.

I also saw the video of Jessica playing the sax that you claim is fake. Why are you attacking the credibility of an individuals talent who had nothing to do with your so called brainwashing experience with the Tribe, by stating that the video is fake?

Most people are going to think you are a cowardly person and lack integrity because you just admitted that you are pretending to be a friend and loyal to the Tribe while posting lies about them. Wow!!

I am well aware of the definition of "cult". Magic Mendez and the Tribe are far from being a cult.

You claim to be trying to help others from being hurt by this family but the sad truth is you are hurting the lives of those very people yourself. Have you considered those people?

Your statement of "You don't know who I am or how I can hurt you.", sounds like a threat. Not smart. And your "can of worms", well we all know how harmless worms are.

I am sure that you have goodness within your heart and invite you to use that in a positive manner instead of your anger being used negatively.

Or maybe therapy will help.

Again I will tell you this. My life has changed for the better since I met Magic and the Tribe. They've done quite the opposite for me of what you claim they did to you. None of them have ever bad mouthed past tribe members. You are incorrect in that assumption. Oh, thanks for the grammer correction.

Sincerely,
Juliette

First I'd like to address that completely idiotic posting by the person in the group for the past 14 months, Hey Jess! It's obviously you. Does anyone else remember hearing warnings about men who control your time being potentially abusive? If you have spent EVERY day with him for 14 months, you are definitely crazy now. Also, that video? Please! We can tell you are faking, you're not even that good of a liar (by the way, L-I-A-R is how you spell liar)

I'm bummed that in that post where there was a link to the on-going legal stuff to bring this corrupted, disgusting piece of crap down was deleted by rip-off report. I would like to help, this crazy sh** can't keep going on. Please contact me, I can help. unifiedtribesucks@gmail.com

BTW, Any unified tribe members are also free to email me, you have nothing to say that I care about in the slightest and you definitely do not want to hear what I have to say, so be careful and think about if you really want to open that can of worms. You don't know who I am or how I can hurt you. I can tell you that you would never guess who I am. I am someone you trust and whom you think is very close and loyal to you and you would never see this coming, especially Magic. He especially thinks I am on his side and loyal to him. You all have no idea many people are against you that you don't know about and I hope that scares the crap out of you because it should.

Look if you got screwed over to the extent that many of us did from this group you would be seeking justice as well. In fact I imagine that you are actually a tribe member or one of the people who is fooled for now. This is not darkness or hate this is TRUTH!!

We honestly all had years and years of being severly brainwashed, manipulated and abused. You have nooooooo idea what you are talking about. Magic changes his strategy with every new circumstance and I know he has a new tact right now. Go and look up what a cult leader is and what a cult is all about, you will find it is all spot on, the tribe is a full on cult. Why do you think they have lost way more people than have stayed. Why do you think we all feel the same exact way about our experience. IT IS BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUTH. This is not slander, it can't be slander if it is the truth.

Wanna talk real slander. I know for a fact that Magic told many lies about people especially the people that leave. Unfortunately instead of handling someone leaving like a man he would be to worried about his image to admit that someone felt there was a better life outside of his prison. Every person that has left he has told small to very large lies about to make him look good and to scare others from leaving. One of the xmembers got slandered so badly that if it would have gotten out to her job she could have been fired. Magic told friends outside the group that she was stealing and forging documents at her job. This was a bold faced lie and he knows it. Not only was this an awful thing to do to someone that he proffesed his undying love for but also did this to someone who supported him for almost a decade. Then the next week rub her face in mudd of lies. I know that Magic is probably reading this and he knows what the truth is and he is the one that has to try to sleep every night with this webb of deceit he has created. Fortunately everything was fine and she is doing very well but that is just one big example of the constant webb of lies Magic tells to protect his own image and develop his illusion. BTW your sad attempts at putting us down and saying we are awful and hateful will not effect us. We know who we are and know that we are truly walking the path of truth now. We are just trying to stop them from hurting more people and their families because they always do one way or another.

If you were in a situation where you were mentally, sexually abused and severly brainwashed you would be hoping for justice as well. Magic is an amazingly brilliant con artist and it sounds like he has you in his webb. Please at least google "What is a cult" and you will find that the Tribe is textbook.

This is a free country and we are allowed our opinions.

Thank you

Let me address you as "Cowardly"

With the exception of about 10 days I have spent every day with Magic Mendez and the Unified Tribe family for the last 14 months and honestly, I have never been witness to or subject to any of the terrible lies you've posted about them.

I will tell you what I know to be fact in my experience and relationship with Magic, Harmony, Merrily, Jessi, Starr, Linda, Kal-el & Falcon.
Magic Mendez is a musical genius with a voice like an angel and has played the piano, guitar and bass for myself, my family and friends and blew us away!!! Wannabe??? The man was honored with an award for his talent! Hello!!!!

I have also had the privelage of hearing the musical talents of Harmony, Merrily, Jessi, Starr, the Twins and Kal-el with their instruments and vocally. Falcon doesnt play an instrument but he is a very good singer and the beautiful sounds that come from the mouths of this family/group are so amazing it's obvious you dont have a clue about what real talent is.

As far as your comments on the kind of people they are... you must be kicking yourself in the a_ _ for not being the kind of person who takes the higher road or the kind of person who acts out of love opposed to hate. You see, those are the kinds of people Unified Tribe attract. AND if someone comes into their lives who is filled with anger and darkness they help them to find the beauty within. They offer love and support anytime day or night!!! Unfortunately there are some who have chosen to live in the darkness and hate and with that comes pain and with that comes slanderous false stories about good people.

I have facts to back every comment in this rebuttal. Do you? Of course you dont!! If you did I wouldnt have had to title my response "Cowardly".

Who ever you are... I can guarantee you that if you take your lies and the people who support those lies and I take my truths and the people who support those truths. You would look like not only a sick lier but also a pretty foolish pathetic excuse of a human being.

You are only hurting yourself by slandering good people.


Have a nice day.

#25Author of original report

Now that people are learning what the tribe is REALLY all about,
THE HEAT IS ON......they have tried to manipulate and wreck so many lives that the carnage is spread from one end of the country to another but those former members are free and healthy, mentally, physically and emotionally!
It's really about time that the truth comes out. There are several books on these people that have been put together, law enforcement officers have been notified of their scams, abuse, and false robbery reports as well as Magic's sexual perversity and the other "member's" porn tapes and sexual activities. Their backgrounds are well documented, their pictures and activities recorded and some of what has been talked about is in hand but not YET released...the time is coming.....
