Though he is so often misquoted by insincere politicians, Martin Luther King Jr. really FULLY embodied the approach I teach.

King DIDN'T turn his head to injustice. He confronted it HEAD ON, but he did so with love and compassion.

Just look at his Six Principles of Nonviolence:

I am so frustrated and disappointed in mainstream media. I wish they would educate themselves and their people about social psychology and teach people things that are true and that will actually minimize violence instead amplifying it. Are they really ignorant about fundamentals
Of how our minds work? When you tell someone, Don’t think of a white horse,” what happens next? When you amplify extremists threatening violence, without a frame that explains and contains it, you are making the problem worse. The only way to combat 4th and 5th generation warfare
Is through emphasizing values and by offering a more motivating empowering story. My sense is the public is hungry for answers. Not more simplistic, us vs. them, good vs. evil narratives! How about offering fact based news with a frame of what can be done to solve things. I

Believe in “The Law of Attraction?” Well, I don’t. It is magical thinking and can prove to be very dangerous. If it worked, one would win the lottery every time. Or one would have the perfect job. Relationship. Of course, having achievable goals are essential. I believe in the

Chinese online netcitizens are applying my BITE Model of Authoritarian Control to the Chinese Communist Party!
Matthew Bywater sent this to me. He lived in China and presented with me at IALMH.org Congress in Lyon, France this past summer. He is working on having “Freedom of Mind” a human right!
FYI: a Mainland Chinese publisher bought the rights to my second book (2000) Releasing the Bonds, contracted to publish unabridged so they could counter Falun Gong (Shen Yun performances) but a former client told me they cut out section on the Communist Party, sadly.

'We are not a cult!' GOP senator insists that Donald Trump is not the 'leader' of the Republican Party - Alternet.org alternet.org/2022/11/we-are…
Any politician that not only is a 2020 election denier but has espoused the crazy ideology of QAnon that equates Dems as Satanic and hasn’t renounced these, said Trump lost and is a liar, or actually was involved in #Jan6th violent coup attempt IS in The Cult of Trump!
In my work I know many, many people who left the moon cult but still believe Sun Myung Moon is the Messiah as well as people who left Scientology but still believe Hubbard and his tech are great, IMPO are still indoctrinated cult members. Remember that my Influence Continuum/BITE

I have been encouraged to share stories of malignant narcissist cult leaders who refused to stop when confronted by law, authorities etc. Moon was convicted and went to comfortable jail for 13 months. The Organization spun his conviction of conspiracy to being persecuted as an
Asian religious leader. Moonies spent over $30 million on PR campaign that included telling all media that referring to group as “Moonies” was like the n word for black people. I could go on and on with cult leaders who think they are Jesus, or an Apostle or Prophet who believe
they are above the law and don’t care if they lie, cheat, steal as long as their frail ego still has narcissistic supply. David Koresh is prime example too. Jim Jones, Lyndon LaRouche (a pal of Roger Stone and Russia). What continues to amaze me is corporate media officials
