When I submitted my manuscript to my editor at Simon & Schuster, she advised me to take Putin out of the #1 puppetmaster slot in chapter 7 after Bill Barr (yes former AG of Trump) stated the Mueller report said there was no Russian meddling. I refused. And btw, same Barr who
Testified he told Trump there was no stolen election- that no evidence existed. Same one who didn’t want to be involved in violent coup attempt on Jan 6th. Same Barr who had been on Opus Dei Board of Directors in DC mission. Also I did 2-part blog and interview with Craig Unger
and former KGB official Yuri Shvets on the excellent book American Kompromat that says Russians recruited Trump decades ago as asset. Corporate media has censored vital information for all. So sad. I have been an activist for 46 years after my deprogramming from Moon cult. I have
been trying to tell the world brainwashing/ mind control is real and can affect bright educated people. Is anyone listening? I was an extremist who believed God had chosen Nixon. Who believed democracy was Satanic. That genocide for “God”was good idea. And I was raised in Jewish
home and educated about the Holocaust. I was programmed to believe the Holocaust was justified because the Jews killed Jesus (they didn’t). I am telling you we need to educate everyone and help them exit the Cult of Trump. And we need everyone who has exited a cult or controlling
Cult or group to message #igotout so we can destigmatize being an ex and to create a big exit ramp for the millions still indoctrinated! It is doable! It would cost far less than than this election but would require massive effort of talent, resources and complex systems strategy

When Heavens Gate members followed instructions to their death, former 15 year member appeared in the media saying it wasn’t a cult and that “who can tell they didn’t go to Heaven.” He was ready to follow them and take his life. Fortunately he agreed to let me help counsel
Him. He told me he had left 5 years earlier. I asked him why he left? Dick told me he had made a promise to himself that when he joined that if they started talking about killing themselves like Peoples Temple did (Nov. 18th 1978) he would leave. Which he did but until
We met he received no counseling. The 3-day intervention was filmed with 2 Hi-8 cameras. The only intervention I recorded. Dick Joslyn had been a model (and navy officer) and was very comfortable in front of cameras. He realized it WAS a mind cult. He then embarked on an effort

Autocracy Inc. Is a criminal network. I agreed with everything but the huge missing piece is my area of expertise: authoritarian cults that use brainwashing and mind control through the media, especially social media. Educating everyone about the Influence Continuum / BITE Model
Is essential. Applying and expanding anti-trafficking law to codify brainwashing into legal systems around the world is important step. Leigh misses how cult leaders use religion and spirituality to program people with anti-democratic ideologies- using fear and hate to motivate
And control. Teaching people how to effectively interact with their radicalized family and friends is the solution. Not trying to lecture them with facts to “win” them over. That almost always propels them deeper into the rabbit hole. Listening to former cult members share their

I was honored to be in this essential documentary featuring former big supporters of Trump who wish to express their disillusionment with Trump. IMPO, we should do more to amplifying voices of morality and sanity! #igotout of the Moon cult. Let’s please create a
Wide off-ramp to the millions still under mind control. Destigmatize being human and making an error to trust an untrustworthy leader and group! Believe me. When the bubble burst, it was like warm sunlight coming into a dark room. I cried and cried and then I realized that
There was life of my own to be lived! I was scared to leave. I was ashamed and embarrassed. But those who have experienced being unduly influenced not only were there to support me, they helped me. @RobertJayLifton when I met him encouraged me to learn psychology and help explain

I watched an advanced copy of @yarivmozer ‘s excellent, well researched and executed documentary on the architect of mass murder of Jews-Eichmann. Audiotapes of him boasting about how many he had killed stands in stark contrast to the public person who was correctly found guilty
Anyone American who aligns with Hitler and Nazis and attempts Holocaust denial will have trouble denying the truth. Eichmann was a racist and a cold blooded ideologically committed Nazi. So why did he completely wimp out on “the cause” by claiming he was “just following orders?”
I learned a lot about the historical forces operating at that time that suppressed the recordings as they would have embarrassed the West German govt because they had at least one well known Hungarian Nazi collaborator in their ranks! At this time

When I was deceptively recruited into the Moon cult in 1974, I was indoctrinated to believe democracy was Satanic and that God wanted a theocracy run by Sun Myung Moon. Moon told us to fast for 3 days on the Capitol steps for Nixon during Watergate. Fortunately,
I snapped out of it. You see, before my brainwashing I disliked Nixon intensely. But I was programmed to obey blindly, lest I be possessed by demons because “Satan was the God of this world.” I was a Jew from Queens (grew up 1.3 miles from Trump, in fact) and did not believe in
Satan and demons- until the cult brought us to watch “The Exorcist” movie and Moon told us, “God made the Exorcist movie! This movie is a prophecy of what would happen to us if we left the Unification Church!” The good news? I was deprogrammed in 1976, became a whistleblower,

The Cult of Cult Apologists: Massimo Introvigne Part 1 scientologymoneyproject.com/2022/08/13/the…
Ever heard of The Scientology Money Project? It was created by journalist ex- Scientologist Jeffrey Augustine in an effort to “follow the money” and educate the public about the criminal activity and improper granting of tax exemption to that authoritarian cult. This is a very
Important and interesting piece. As a whistleblower former insider of the Moon cult, I have had to contend with Eileen Barker’s decades of claims that there is no brainwashing/ mind control/ thought reform in my former cult- essentially calling me a liar. I appreciate Augustine
