Episode notes

I was sent down to DC to fast for Nixon during Watergate because God wants Nixon to be president. This is what the Moonies told you. And did we not hear this with Trump and all the new apostolic Reformation people who think that they're doing God's bidding? He went to jail for 13 months for conspiracy defraud the US government. Two of his sons are here in the US, one has a AR 15 cult called the rod of iron ministry and he wears a crown of golden bullets and he calls himself king. They have two compounds that I am aware of one in Tennessee, one in Texas to train people for civil war in the streets.

In this conversation, based on a leading cult expert Steven Hassan’s books (Combatting Cult Mind Control, Freedom of Mind, and The Cult of Trump) you will acquire the tools you need to develop, use, and trust your critical thinking skills; your intuition; your bodily and emotional awareness; your ability to ask the right questions; and your skill at doing quick, useful research. You will also learn to create a healthy balance of openness and skepticism.

Shermer and Hassan discuss: types of cults, their characteristics • cult leader profiles • the influence continuum • mind control • brainwashing • Project MK-ULTRA • Scientology • NXIVM • strip search hoax • social media mind control • neuroscience of mind control • authoritarian mindset • Trump’s mind-control techniques • breaking free of cults.
