Biographical Profile of Daniel Zuckerbrot

Name: Daniel Seth Zuckerbrot

Date and place of birth: United States of America, 1954.

Nicknames: Danny

Prototype: A charismatic blend of Eugene Levy, Bela Lugosi, and Noam Chomsky.

Quote: "I am a member of the biggest fucking cult in the world!" --Kitchener, Ontario, January 1990

Background: Son of a Holocaust survivor. Was a hippie and flower child. Graduated from the Integrated Studies/Independent Studies program at the
University of Waterloo in 1978. (Gravitated towards History and Philosophy of Science.)

Family: Married the former Miss Donna Galinsky on April 12, 1981. Children Joshua (1983) and Rachel (1987).

Occupation: Filmography consists of naive, left-wing films. Long-time researcher, producer and director for "The Nature of Things" on the Canadian Broadcasting Network. Currently runs his own film company in Toronto, Reel Time Images.

Bad qualities:

  • Self-loathing and anti-Jewish. A disgrace to Judaism and other Jews.
  • Teaches his followers lack of respect for Jews and Holocaust survivors.
  • As a smoker, meat-eater and polluter, Daniel is a hypocrite for not practising what he preaches.
  • Likes the snob appeal of rubbing elbows with Silo and other Movement luminaries.
  • Looks down on anybody who does not devote their life to Silo's cause.
  • Does sleight-of-hand and card tricks to enhance his image as a deceiver, a confidence trickster.

Bad trips: Sudden recovery from alleged lymphoma cancer in 1990-91 transformed Daniel into a Messiah within the Movement. How could someone as intelligent and charming as Daniel Zuckerbrot waste his life by associating with such a bunch of losers as those in Silo's Movement?

Sexual partners/victims: His wife Donna is also a group delegate in his team; Daniel puts Donna to work in many subordinate capacities. Otherwise, Daniel tends to look down on the degraded antics and sex lives of his low-brow acolytes.

Movement experience: Over thirty years as Silo's number one man in Canada. General Delegate of Council Xi, until its demise in 1990s.

Recruited: By Victor Nebrida in Canada, circa 1975.
