*As featured in the streaming documentary #UNTRUTH—now with a new foreword by George Conway and an afterword by the author*A masterful and eye-opening examination of Trump and the coercive control tactics he uses to build a fanatical devotion in his supporters written by “an authority on breaking away from cults…an argument that…bears consideration as the next election cycle heats up” (Kirkus Reviews). Since the 2016 election, Donald Trump's behavior has become both more disturbing and yet increasingly familiar. He relies on phrases like, “fake news,” “build the wall,” and continues to spread the divisive mentality of us-vs.-them. He lies constantly, has no conscience, never admits when he is wrong, and projects all of his shortcomings on to others. He has become more authoritarian, more outrageous, and yet many of his followers remain blindly devoted. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert and a major Trump supporter, calls him one of the most persuasive people living. His need to squash alternate information and his insistence of constant ego stroking are all characteristics of other famous leaders—cult leaders.In The Cult of Trump, mind control and licensed mental health expert Steven Hassan draws parallels between our current president and people like Jim Jones, David Koresh, Ron Hubbard, and Sun Myung Moon, arguing that this presidency is in many ways like a destructive cult. He specifically details the ways in which people are influenced through an array of social psychology methods and how they become fiercely loyal and obedient. Hassan was a former “Moonie” himself, and he presents a “thoughtful and well-researched analysis of some of the most puzzling aspects of the current presidency, including the remarkable passivity of fellow Republicans [and] the gross pandering of many members of the press” (Thomas G. Gutheil, MD and professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School). The Cult of Trump is an accessible and in-depth analysis of the president, showing that under the right circumstances, even sane, rational, well-adjusted people can be persuaded to believe the most outrageous ideas. “This book is a must for anyone who wants to understand the current political climate” (Judith Stevens-Long, PhD and author of Living Well, Dying Well).https://amzn.to/4kQXbhkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
One of America's leading experts in cults and mind-control provides an eye-opening analysis of Trump and the indoctrination tactics he uses to build a fanatical devotion in his supporters.Over the past two years, Trump's behaviour has become both more disturbing and yet increasingly familiar. He relies on phrases like, “fake news,” “build the wall,” and continues to spread the divisive mentality of us-vs.-them. He lies constantly, has no conscience, never admits when he is wrong, and projects all of his shortcomings on to others.

He specifically details the ways in which people are influenced through an array of social psychology methods and how they become fiercely loyal and obedient. Hassan was a former “Moonie” himself, and he draws on his forty years of personal and professional experience studying hypnosis and destructive cults, working as a deprogrammer, and a strategic communications interventionist. He emphasizes why it's crucial that we recognize ways to identify and protect ourselves and our loved ones.The Cult of Trump is an accessible and in-depth analysis of the president, showing that under the right circumstances, even sane, rational, well-adjusted people can be persuaded to believe the most outrageous ideas. Hassan's book is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the Trump phenomenon and looking for a way forward.https://amzn.to/4lGjEicBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Please Establish A New Order Of Love Through The Grace Of The Blessing
Please allow us to be able to fight for the Will, offering our minds and our entire devotion, and please allow us to be able to understand that the creator who created all things is You, and the one who has worked endlessly for us is also You.
We will have to be able to change the order of our consciousness to God's consciousness by transcending the people, transcending the nation and transcending the world.
Please Take Dominion Through Your Touch Of Re-Creation
Please Let Us Be Reborn Into A Life That Is One With The Will
Please let us become the kinds of sons You have been hoping and longing for, the kinds of sons You have been looking for.
Please bless us to be able to become Your sons and to be able to become Your daughters.
Please allow us to be proud of this of our own accord, and to become those who say that this is the duty of our lives; and please allow us to understand its value.
Please Establish A New Order Of Love Through The Grace Of The Blessing
We must become leading figures who inherit the sorrow and suffering of heaven.
Please come, and through Your heart of compassion, please raise us up; and we earnestly hope and desire that You will liberate us from this history of sorrow.
Please allow us to recognize the desire that our original nature is earnestly crying out for, and please allow us to come to know that our original nature really desires to form a relationship with You, Father.
Please let us realize clearly that the relationship between You and us is an original relationship which cannot be broken.
Please allow us to leave the satanic realm and become one with You, Father.
We were refugees who had lost their nation. Since we have come to understand that Your will to find and establish a new hometown, a land of the original homeland, is the truth, we will have to find the land of the original homeland and the original family which we have lost, and take revenge against Satan.
Please let us bow our heads before your course of sorrow.
Please allow us to be able to open our minds now and to find out on our own what Your heart is and what Your love is.
We want to become true sons and daughters who comfort our Father's heart.
Please let us have hearts that represent Your heart just as Jesus did, and which our ancestors were not able to do.
Please let us realize that You are the whole of ideology, the whole of life, and the whole of love.
Please raise up strong minds, and please add powerful grace to them. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that You will help us to possess the ability to be able to have our minds subjugate our bodies.
Please Look At Us With Compassion And Carry Out Your Work Of Recreation
Please allow us to possess the justification of children and the glory of children.
We cannot help but feel that those of us who have bowed down before You have found the path of life after having wandered around here and there.
Please allow us to become sons and daughters who can feel that before us is the world of hope and to the right and left are our friends and people and brethren.
We have hearts that want to call out, 'Father!,' and hearts that want to meet You, and hearts that want to attend You.

NEW EPISODES OF PARALLAX VIEWS WILL RESUME NEXT WEEK WITH THE FIRST POST-HOLIDAY/NEW YEAR'S SHOWS! IN THE MEAN TIME ENJOY THIS RECENT EPISODE! You're Listening to Parallax Views https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/ Support the Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews Recording Date: 11-25-24 On this edition of Parallax Views, author and investigative journalist Nina Burleigh returns to discuss a potpourri of topics related to upcoming 2nd Trump Presidency after the 2024 election defeat of Kamala Harris. Nina is currently a contributing editor and writer at The New Republic and has authored such books as Virus: Vaccinations, the CDC, and the Hijacking of America's Response to the Pandemic, Golden Handcuffs: The Secret History of Trump's Women, and, most recently, her first novel, Zero Visibility Possible. The conversation initially came about due to Nina's New Republic piece, "Trump 2.0: Here Comes the Night". We'll discuss what she expects out of Trump's second Presidency as well as some recent pieces from her Substack blog American Freakshow, which chronicles the carnival-esque grotesquerie and excess of the 21st century GOP. Additionally, Nina will preview her new novel, the aforementioned Zero Visibility Possible, which deals with the madness of America in an age of fake news, mass violence, disinformation, and the breakdown of consensus reality. In terms of Nina's American Freakshow blog we'll discuss her articles "Predators' Ball", about the creeps who Trump have surrounded himself around (with a particular focus in this conversation on Trump's Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegseth), and "God and Guns in Pennsylvania", in which Nina goes over her experiences attending a Pennsylvania MAGA rally. Interestingly, said rally has ties to Rev. Sun Myung Moon and the Moonies and one of its key speakers was Sebastian Gorka, who is set to play a role in the Trump administration as counter-terrorism chief. In this regard we'll delve into the Moonie off-shot group AR-15 and look at Sebastian Gorka penchant for wearing symbols related to Hungarian fascism. All that and more on this edition of Parallax Views!
Today we conclude yesterday's wild exploration of the cult Sun Myung Moon founded in Seoul, South Korea, in 1954. Moon's corruption and insanity finally begin to catch up with him before his death sends the empire he built into chaos. Also - Black Heung Jin may be the most entertaining character I've ever come across in any of these episodes. I wish we knew SO much more about his crazy ass. Hail Nimrod!

In Seoul, South Korea, in 1954, Sun Myung Moon founded the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity, a new religious institution that would quickly become known as the Unification Church, and one of the biggest cults in modern history. Adherents would come to be known as "Moonies," following the controlling teachings a man who considered himself a new Jesus. Sexual rituals, physical and psychological abuse, financial corruption, and so much more follow in this real life soap opera of a story.
