Question: Ask The Nuwaupians, Did Malachi York Rape and Father a Child with One of the 1960's Girl Groups The Ronettes?
Answer: The level of lies and sickness we've found in this book will absolutly amaze you.
((( UPDATE )))
The purpose of this article is to fully establish for you the facts as they are regarding this attempt at Gaslighting. It is a REBUKING and DEBUNKING of an insidiously ridiculous lie that's being spread by way of the poorly informed Latter-Day Nuwaupian cult members. The issue here is whether Malachi York (Dwight at the time) fathered a child with a member of the world renown: Ronettes singing trio.
I feel it's important to offer context in an effort to aid in debunking this lie. Keep the following definition regarding gaslighting in mind; being conscious of it will marginalize their trickery.
Side Note:
It should be of no surprise that the book has "lightning" in the title, that's because the first word tells you what its true agenda is: Gaslighting, so the book has a hidden meaning, and should be appropriately called "Gaslighting From the East".
Gaslighting:
Gaslighting is colloquialism for a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is successful in having the target (person or group of people) question their own reality, memory or perceptions... The term is derived from the title of the British play Gas Light where a vulnerable protagonist is manipulated to believe a harmful and false reality that benefits the self-serving antagonist.
-The American Psychological Association - Dictionary of Psychology: Gaslight
Gaslightning From The East
According to Cornell University Law School online Legal Information Institute:
Libel
Libel is a method of defamation expressed by print, writing, picture, signs, effigies, or any communication embodied in physical form that is injurious to a person's reputation, exposes a person to public hatred, contempt or ridicule, or injures a person in his/her business or profession.
It's ironic that the Nuwaupians and the promoters of the Gaslighting book refers to yours truly as a "slanderer", yet their book is spreading sick and Libelous claims directed at both Estelle Bennett and Elaine Mayes in which a Libel lawsuit should filed against the writers of the book, and Amazon for continuing to host it on their website after numerous complaints.
Slander is defined as:
a false statement, usually made orally, which defames another person. Unlike libel, damages from slander are not presumed and must be proven by the party suing.
The following information taken from the book Gaslighting From The East featuring two of the family members from the Ronettes, makes proving a Libel lawsuit very easy. It demonstrates the sort of damage ignorant people can do once they've gained access to publishing books. In the 2020 poorly written, and researched book by a colony of ill-informed cult members of the "Nuwaupians", are attempting to create a fictional narrative regarding the 1964 statutory rape and arrest of Dwight "Malachi" York involving a 16 year-old minor. The trick now is, they're claiming that the minor (16) was actually an adult, and that Malachi York was the minor (15) who for some unexplained and fact-less reason, got charged with statutory rape of a woman named, "Gwendolyn (Elaine) Mayes" who the misinformed has claimed was the forth member of The Ronettes, (image below) from page 36.
I'd like you to focus on the lie that's being perpetuated here. The pointed arrow and caption would have you to believe that the woman (left) is "Gwendolyn (Elaine) Mays". This is an overt and intentional lie, with no sense of accountability on the part of the writer(s). These sorts of lies are throughout this book. Now any general search of the members of the Ronetts will prove without a doubt the identity of the woman who these Nuwaupians are claiming was "Gwendolyn (Elaine) Mayes", more on that shortly.
The book writer(s) have created a bogus storyline about denials surrounding the sexual encounter with York and the alleged accuser Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes. In the above picture from that book, they've inserted a page from this website https://www.nuwaupianism.com/ which I posted containing the Pre-Sentencing Investigation Report (PSIR) on Dwight "Malachi" York and his juvenile criminal history.
What's important to note is, NOWHERE in the Pre-sentencing Investigation Report does it mention the name of the "accuser", nor any details. It's a fabrication created in an effort to flip the narrative to York being sexually molested by a member of the Ronettes. In addition; what's equally sick minded is, they used the image of the late Estelle Bennett, which defames her character. You can be assured that I, and those concerned, will contact the family of Estelle Bennett so they can be made aware of this, and take proper legal action against the people responsible for this blatant case of character assassination of this late elder.
NO SOURCES cited, NO EVIDENCE offered, NO MEDICAL RECORDS!
All they have are the words of delusional cult members who are obviously unfamiliar with who the legendary Ronettes were.
The Ronettes:

The trio's first single, 'I Want A Boy b/w 'Sweet Sixteen', was credited to Ronnie and the Relatives, however, when 'Silhouettes' b/w 'You Bet I Would' followed in 1962, the Ronettes had changed their name, with the group members comprising: Veronica Bennett-Spector, Estelle Bennett and Nedra Talley-Ross. (http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Ronettes.html)
Ronnie and the Relatives first signed with Colpix Records in 1961, they moved to Phil Spector's Philles Records in March of 1963. The same year, the group had a huge hit with the song 'Be My Baby' reaching number 2 on the music charts. The group were also involved in the legendary Christmas album, released by Spector, additionally, in 1963.
If you've noticed in the time-line, the Ronettes were selling records and performing on tour with groups like the Rolling Stones after signing with Spector's' record label since 1961. York was arrested for statutory rape in 1964. It's a ridiculous proposition to believe that the woman on the page with the arrow pointed at her (Estelle Bennett) who was in a successful musical group, having a successful musical career, touring the world with some of the biggest names in music at the time; was curiously caught (no evidence) having sex in her mother's basement. With the success and financial means, anyone in the Ronettes could have afforded a hotel, or even used their own vehicles for privacy, rather than jeopardizing a career to sexually molest an impoverished juvenile delinquent living in a ghetto, it simply does not reason out!
Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes or Estelle Bennett?
As stated earlier regarding the woman claimed to be Gwendolyn (Elaine) Mayes; was NOT her, the picture was that of Estelle Bennett (RIP).
On page 36-37 of their book, the cult member writing stated the following:
Then claimed:
Here the Nuwaupians are attempting to filp the statutory rape case, from the perpetrator being York, to that of Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes (erroneously depicted) as Estelle Bennett in their book. They claim that Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes was older than York; he being the minor (15) yet some how he gets charged with statutory rape of a minor. Even if York was younger and having sex with Mayes, if she was older than him, SHE would get charged, NOT York! This is how dumb these people think you are to even entertain such a claim.
Now read what they say happened (NO proof /NO evidence)
Do you see how ridiculous and inconsistent this lie is?
-York at age 15 is sexually involved with an 18 year old "forth member" of the group the Ronettes that he "somehow befriended"
- Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes (18) and York (15) are caught having sex by her mother; and Mayes accuses York of rape
- Police are "immediately called" and York (15) is arrested then charged with statutory rape of an (18) year old adult
- York (15) is arrested three years later for statutory rape of a then (18) year old who three years later would have been age (21)
You would have to be a complete idiot to believe a word of this lame cockamamie story. How is it even possible for a 15 year old to be charged with the statutory rape of an (18) year old adult? Even with legal counsel present? Again there's absolutely no truth to this story at all, not even from York himself. These are the facts; York was arrested, and charged on June 24, 1964 with statutory rape (age 18) involving a (16) year old minor, York confirmed the events as did his sister in the pre-sentencing investigation report.
There is ZERO evidence of York having contact with any of the girls in the group. Who ever was responsible for the research in that book, either was completely stupid, or an habitual liar, when they intentionally posted an image of Estelle Bennett and claiming that she was Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes. York did NOT father any child with either Bennett nor Mayes. Again, they offered NO evidence, NO citations from any medical reports, paternal documentation, nor any family court documentation. What kind of sick mind would accuse an elderly woman of sexually abuse and supply no proof! How would you feel if some nobody put your grandmother in a book, and label her a child sexual predator? It's all lies and I'll continue to prove it.
According to York's family members; particularly one of his daughters who specializes in the York family history including the DNA chart at Ancestry.com. Leah York, has stated in an interview that;
"...the oldest child was born in 1964, as a matter of fact, two were born that year, one in April, and the other in June. Then in 1989, he fathered thirteen children. His youngest child was born in 2001. "
With all that's been stated and shown, the elephant in the room has consistently been ignored; their book has no pictures of Elaine Mayes. Have you noticed that although the Nuwaupians have a picture of Estelle Bennett (which is incorrect) but nowhere in their entire book do you find an image of Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes! And that is very telling. Remember in August 1966, the Ronetts before a crowd of 16,000 fans, was the opening act for the Beatles. The Ronetts' line-up was; Nedra Tally (lead vocals) Estelle Bennett, and Elaine Mayes.
Photo: a fan taken snapshot of the Ronettes (including Estelle) before the Beatles 1966 concert in Cleveland, with Nedra singing lead for Ronnie. She is currently living in California, yet she was never interviewed for the book nor were there any images of her, why not, well keep reading and you'll find out why.
Above is the late elder Estelle Bennett singing lead, and their cousin Elaine Mayes filling in for Ronnie Bennett

Ronnie Spector wrote a memoir detaining her life with the Ronettes, family life, and the lives of her sister and cousin, NOWHERE in the entire book is there any references to York or Elaine Mayes being caught having sex with a minor, the reason being, there's is NO truth to this new lie that these people are shamelessly spreading.
"Pop legend Ronnie Spector reveals the story of her dreamlike rise from the streets of Harlem to the pinnacle of rock stardom as lead singer of the Ronettes, and her nightmare descent into madness as the wife of Phil Spector, the pop hitmaker who kept her a virtual prisoner behind the locked doors of his darkened Beverly Hills mansion...the top 25 Rock Memoirs of All Time by Rolling Stone."
In 2007 the trio were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and on February 11, 2009. Elder Estelle Bennett passed away in Englewood, New Jersey at the age of 67. Instead of allowing this great elder to rest in peace; she now has her image being plastered in a nonsensical book attributing her image as the face of a child molester! I personally will see to it that the surviving members of Miss Bennett's family and Ronnie Bennett are made aware of this character assassination that these cult members are benefiting from financially.
It's well known that York fathered over one hundred, and out of all those sons and daughters, there is NO mention of a child by Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes, the Ronettes. There is nothing in York's entire bio, making any references to Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes, or her son, because there is no connections to the Ronettes, it is a lie, simply put.
York DID NOT have any children in 1961, the people spreading that mess offered ZERO evidence, nothing from York's family members supporting that nonsense. I consulted the York family, particularly Leah Mabry A/K/A Leah York head of the genealogy and birth research for the York family at Ancestry.com, and if anyone would know, it's Leah. she, in a conversation with me on (07/11/2021) made the following points clear after informing her of the claims taken from that book.
"There were two born in the same year to different mothers when he was 18, one passed away. Denise is still living, born on April 1, 1964. The other was Lisa born 1964 passed away 1996, her Muslim name was Aisha. He had Ishmael when he was 19 almost a year later."
-Leah York
Out of respect I am honoring the privacy of the family, and won't show their faces. So there you have it folks, York at age 18 fathered two daughters from two different mothers. His first son was D. Totten A/K/A Ishmael was born in 1965.
So exactly where is this lie coming from? Well, it's coming (ironically) from the actual son of Elaine Mayes, an individual named Mark J. Brady (no relations to Malachi York) He also goes by the alias "Atun-Re".
This person (Mark J. Brady) may have some deep mental issues that has apparently not been addressed by any mental health professionals. I mentioned that because Brady has stated in his own video that he was (in a past life) Jesus of the bible. He says this regarding the crucifixion:
This is the guy that those people writing the book, got their information from. The writer(s) which mentions Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes as molesting York, but shows the face of Estelle Bennett, received their information from Brady. But in case you haven't noticed, Mark Brady gave them that misinformation about his mother: YET never gave them any pictures of his mother Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes. Why not? Possibly because his mother wouldn't like her face and name being associated with pedophilia and child molestation. Mark J. Brady is spreading the lie that his own mother sexually abused a "15 year old", gave birth to him (Brady) in 1961 by way of a sex crime, YET he never supplied the fools responsible for writing that book a single photo of his mother.
According to Brady's ex-girlfriend in a recorded phone interview, she says Brady's father was an Italian. And these Nuwaupians trust a guy who believes that he was Jesus Christ in a past life, and goes buy the Egyptian name "Atum-Re" the self-professed first born son of Malachi York NO proof, NO birth records, NO verifiable statements from his mother confirming his claims, YET, you the reader of that book are to believe it to be truthful and trustworthy.
York has stated this many times, and I find it appropriate to quote:
"...if you're not ALL RIGHT, then you're NOT RIGHT AT ALL..."
In Closing:
The book Lightening From the East (henceforth shall be named appropriately Gaslighting From the East) is poorly written, poorly researched book loaded with false assertions, fantasy-filled opinions, rumors, unsubstantiated statements, wild conspiracy theories, and serious episodes of cognitive dissonance on the part of its writer(s) and promoters. They were so hot to get a book out hoping to cash in on the York perpetual controversy, that they failed to verify most of their "research" .
Example:
In the book they have a lists of "disagreeable beings" "slanderers", with two pictures of Wudjau Iry-Maat as if he were two different people, not realizing that Wudjau went by the name Anpu as a Nuwaubian back in the 1990's. These ill-informed York-ies simply didn't take the time to fact-check their sourced material.
Simple sloppy mistakes like that are throughout this gaslighting book. Another example is the noticable disrespect of elderly and deceased women.
This shows that they have no sense of honor nor integrity when they implement these grimy tactics for profit.
On page 4 Malachi York's own daughter pointed out that they made another error claiming that the Elder: Phyllis Foose was York's great great grandmother, and that is absolutely FALSE! The late Elder: Phyllis Foose is NOT related to York at all, in fact York's daughter had to explain to these people that not only were they incorrect, but that they were also for stealing the image of her family elder without consulting the family as seen below.
Likewise with the nonsense given to them by Mark J. Brady, being Malachi York's first born son in 1961 (a complete lie). And I'll state for the record; any Nuwaupian that opposes that lie, I support them 100%. Just this section alone gives you an indication of its true intentions; not to bring forth the facts as they are, but an attempt at Gaslighting its readers who may be unfamiliar with the case and trial of York, his history, childhood, the history of the organization, and his critiques. Those who have spoken out about Malachi York, were individuals well familiar with him; who knew York, spent time with him, were his sex partners, and some were even his children. You people (Nuwaupians) have got to do better.
((( UPDATE )))
As a result of this article being circulated among the Nuwuapian cult online areas, in less than 24 hours after I informed Leah York of the lie these Latter-Day Nuwaupian cult members were passing around about her family, the leading troll pushing the Gaslighting book; on behalf of the idiots that put the book together (Jake "Khonsu" Paul) has issued an "apology" to Leah York for posting the wrong picture because they were either too lazy or too dumb to put in real research.
I sent Leah a screenshot of The FAKE!!!! Nuwaupian Jake "Khonsu" Paul's apology on behalf of the fools, and this was her reply.
Now that they've been EXPOSED as research failures, LIARS and a Nuwaupian fringe-group of weirdos, due to us posting their misinformation, they had no choice but to issue an apology because they've been consistently PROVEN WRONG.
Since they've been proven wrong on just these few examples, what else are they wrong about, and are they willing to admit to the other mistakes and intentional fallacious narratives contained in the Gaslighting book? They've apologized only AFTER reading this article, however they have NOT issued an apology to the family of the Late Estelle Bennett, nor to Elder Elain Mayes for labeling them child sexual predators lying on them, claiming that Elaine Mayes had sex with York when he was "15" and she "18" without a single line of verifiable evidence.
Using Estelle Bennett's image in place of elder Mayes, are they going to apology for those sick assertion!?! I'm sure the attorneys for these families will get them to take responsibility for their childish trolling actions for profit; assassinating the character of the elderly and deceased, these people are sick!
((( UPDATE )))
The writers of the Gaslighting From The East book has been forced to correct yet another page in their book. This is as a direct result of this website's exposing their stupidity. In "correcting" the misinformation they've told, they've made themselves look even dumber. This would include The FAKE!!! Nuwaupian: (Jake "Khonsu" Paul) and any Nuwaupian pushing the lies of that book. Below is from page 36 of the original edition of the book, it states that York was "15 years old" and Gwendolyn Elain Mayes "18 years old" when she "accused him of rape" and he (York) received a statutory rape charge.
Next is the "correction" which is nothing more than the writers sinking deeper into a pit of lies.
Do you see how dumb these statements are? "...York, who was the same age as Her, age of 18-years old..." It's as if a fourth grader wrote this.
They've changed the previous lies and added new ones take a look:
- they were ALLEGED to have started dating
- Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes is ALLEGED to have accused York of RAPE
- York is now the SAME AGE as Gwendolyn Elaine Mayes (18)
- at age "18" York was charged with "statutory rape"
- according to Mark Brady (Elaine Mayes' son) he was the results of York and Mayes' sexual encounter
NO documents provided, NO evidence cited, NO police reports, NO verifiable documentation, just a series of outrageous claims. And according to the man they say they follow Malachi York, he said this about making claims without proof.
"They make statements about events and time, but they don't produce the evidence, or the document to support what they say, which leaves the reader in the same state they are in religion, to believe, but not have facts"
-Malachi York: Let's Set the Records Straight pg. 239
1. Now they claim that it's ALLEGED that York and Mayes were dating. If it's alleged, then it's gossip, and according to the man they say they follow Malachi York says this about gossip;
" Gossip- (1) Trifling, often groundless rumor, usually of a personal, sensational or intimate nature; idle talk (2) A person who habitually engages in such talk..."
-Malachi York: The Significance of a Lie pg. 21-32
2. Now they're the same age "18", if that's the new reality, how in the world could Malachi York be charged and found guilty of statutory rape if both are age 18?
It's pure stupidity, and a lack of education. They now have to make up new lies after being exposed; so rather than admitting to the previous lies, they sink deeper by spreading more lies.
3. Where's the court or police records stating that the victim was "18"?
The Nuwaupians will never produce any evidence, simply because it's all made up, it's all LIES on top of lies just to make a quick buck and clout-chase. Below is a court document, the Presentencing Investigation Report (PSIR) presented to the judge regarding the statutory rape case.
By the way, in their book they claim also that York was "non custodial", however, as you can see, NOWHERE in the above document is there mention of "non custodial", just more lies and a lack of accountability.
To demonstrate that these misguided and misinformed cult members are just copying and pasting with the intent to distort the REAL RESEARCH found on this website Nuwaupianism.com, they have taken the image of Elaine Mayes (which was NOT previously found in their book) nor supplied by Mark Brady the son of Elain Mayes.
Now look at how in their so-called "correction" on page 36 they add even more lies. Look at both images from page 36 in the side by side comparison, and you'll see that they have maintained that York and Mayes were sexually involved when there's no evidence of such an encounter. Remember, they previously claimed that instead of York being "15" now in the "correction" he was the same age as her "18", begging the question, if that were the case, there would be NO statutory rape case.
As mention moments ago, they are copying and pasting true research from the work put in at this website only to distort. Obviously they are waiting for addition evidence from me as I expose the fallacies in their book, demonstrating how they lack evidence to support their assertions. Just from the few examples I've shown in this article and two others, proves without a doubt that the book is truly a case of Gaslighting the public and should be tossed in the garbage and a demand for a refund. This article will be updated if there are any further developments to this proven character assassination and lie on Elaine Mayes and her family by these mentally-ill religious cult members.
