Cult Leader's Reign of Terror: The Rise and Fall of Comrade Bala

Well, folks, it looks like another twisted chapter in the annals of left-wing extremism has come to a close. Today, we’re diving into the sordid tale of “Comrade Bala,” a Maoist cult leader whose reign of terror finally ended not with a bang, but with a whimper in a prison cell. Buckle up, patriots, because this story is a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked radical ideologies and the importance of vigilance in protecting our values and loved ones.

The Rise and Fall of Comrade Bala

Aravindan Balakrishnan, known to his followers as “Comrade Bala,” was an 81-year-old Maoist cult leader who died in his prison cell at HMP Dartmoor in April 2022. Balakrishnan had been serving a 23-year sentence since 2016 for a litany of crimes that would make even the most hardened criminal blush, including sexual assaults, child cruelty, and keeping his own daughter captive for three decades.

The inquest into Balakrishnan’s death revealed that he succumbed to natural causes, with the primary cause being a lower respiratory tract infection. Secondary causes included vascular dementia, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease. Coroner Philip Spinney concluded, “On 8 April 2022 Aravindan Balakrishnan was discovered deceased in his cell at HMP Dartmoor where he was serving a sentence of imprisonment. He died of natural causes and my overall conclusion will be natural causes.”

The Cult of Comrade Bala

Balakrishnan’s descent into madness began in 1974 when he established the Workers’ Institute of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought in Brixton, South London. What started as a fringe political group quickly devolved into a secretive cult, with Balakrishnan at its center. He idolized notorious figures like Chairman Mao, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, and Saddam Hussein, using their brutal tactics to maintain control over his followers.

To keep his followers in line, Balakrishnan invented an invisible war machine named Jackie, using fear and manipulation to maintain his grip on power. This tactic, along with physical and psychological abuse, ensured that his victims remained under his control for decades.

The Aftermath and Legacy

At the time of his death, Balakrishnan was described as “pretty frail” and housed in a wing for prisoners with poor health or vulnerable status. No external injuries were found on his body, and a Covid-19 test came back negative. Perhaps most tellingly, no family members attended the inquest, a stark testament to the lasting damage Balakrishnan inflicted on those closest to him.

As we reflect on the life and death of Comrade Bala, let us remember the victims who suffered under his reign of terror. Their stories serve as a powerful reminder of the dangers of extremism and the importance of protecting our freedoms from those who would seek to destroy them in the name of misguided ideologies.
