The most dangerous people in cults aren’t the ones you’d suspect. In this clip, I’m talking with journalist Don Lattin about why people are drawn to high-control groups in the first place, and why the real danger often isn’t the leader, but the inner circle that protects them. Most people eventually leave. But the ones who stay? That’s where things get serious. Comment “podcast” to the full conversation and understand how cult dynamics really work, and why recognizing them early matters. | Dr. S

The Bondi Beach attack is a tragic reminder that radicalization can spread anywhere, even in places with strict gun control laws. And it’s happening faster now because bad actors can target vulnerabilities online. Most people still don’t realize that psychological warfare is pushing polarization and violence.

Nearly 800 of America’s top military leaders were summoned from around the globe. Top officials sat silently as they were told: if you don’t like what you are hearing, resign. Trump said the military was needed to fight “the war on the enemy within!” This signaled that Trump wanted the military to be used against US citizens who protest his authoritarianism. The Military is sworn to uphold the Constitution. We’re looking at a prelude to martial law and total dictatorship. The military is suppose

Are Chatbots creating a “cult of two” right under our noses? In this clip, I’m joined by investigative journalist Ellen Huet, who’s been reporting on people falling into delusional spirals after marathon chatbot sessions, sometimes 8 to 10 hours a day. What startled me most: the cult dynamics are familiar… “special knowledge,” intense wonder, and growing isolation from real-world relationships and information.

People don’t realize how easy it is to be hypnotized online and not realize it. I’ve studied hypnosis and NLP since the early eighties, and I’ve been warning for years that bad actors, including Donald Trump, use these methods to influence people. After seeing how NLP shifted from helping clinicians to being used by salesmen and CEOs, I walked away and went on to learn ethical clinical hypnotherapy instead. But today the internet is flooded with hypnotic techniques: ASMR, sexually explicit tranc

ICE has detained over 170 U.S. citizens, including veterans, in recent raids. There’s video of federal agents tackling people and even telling a group of Latinos, including a U.S. citizen, that they have no rights. We’re almost a month into a government shutdown. SNAP benefits are about to expire. Trump already took money away from food banks. And yet, ICE is still being funded. This is Social Darwinism. It’s cult tactics: all-or-nothing thinking, good vs evil, us vs them. And it’s desensitizing

Trump claiming he “stopped eight wars” and deserved a Nobel Peace Prize tells you everything about his psychology. What we’re watching is the classic profile of a malignant narcissist, the same stereotypical traits I’ve outlined in The Cult of Trump and in my updated Combating Cult Mind Control. Trump is grandiose, transactional, entitled, and completely lacking empathy. Everything revolves around him, and he surrounds himself with yes-people who offer no reality testing. We’re seeing that disco

Trump supporters were told he was going to expose the “Epstein trafficking deep state” conspiracy and bring justice. But did you know that one of his most senior Department of Justice lawyers spent hours meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell? This is the same Ghislaine Maxwell who was convicted of grooming young girls for Jeffrey Epstein - trafficking them, abusing them. She abused them too! There are countless victim statements detailing what happened. If you’re someone who believed in QAnon or that T

If she were a Republican, she would’ve already been sworn in. But she’s not! And they’re afraid of her being the 218th signer. Why? Because that would force the discharge of the Epstein files. Files we were promised for years, exposing a huge trafficking ring, adrenochrome conspiracies, and more. The government shutdown? That’s on Trump. He owns the White House, Congress, and the Senate! Yet the spin machine is trying to blame the Democrats. Meanwhile, Americans are watching prices rise, the sto

I haven’t had a chance to see it yet, but I was flown out to Salt Lake City to film for it, and after signing an NDA, I can finally say I’m in it. The series looks closely at Mary Cosby and the environment she was raised in, and from everything I’m hearing, it offers an important lens on undue influence.

Have you ever felt that uneasy gut feeling about someone or a group? We all have an inner voice that warns us when something feels off—but too often, we ignore it. As Bethany Joy Lenz shared, it’s so important to pay attention to those feelings and take steps to reality-test the situation. Ask questions, research independently, and trust yourself. Whether it’s a group, relationship, or organization, recognizing the signs of undue influence is key to protecting yourself and your loved ones. My fr

Many good people genuinely believed Trump was a strong, moral leader. They thought he stood for values, American strength, and working families. But now? He’s praising dictators, enriching himself through cryptocurrency schemes, and accepting luxury gifts from authoritarian regimes.

Not every group or relationship is unhealthy—but how do you know where yours stands? Some groups encourage growth, freedom, and individuality. Others demand obedience, suppress questions, and control every aspect of your life. The difference between healthy and unhealthy influence can shape your experiences, beliefs, and identity. That’s why I created the BITE Model App—a free and anonymous tool to help you evaluate whether your group, community, or relationship promotes independence or crosses

Remember QAnon? It was a conspiracy theory, that morphed into a movement. In my professional assessment, a psyop. Michael Flynn was deeply involved from the very beginning. This is from a scientific evaluation of Twitter posts. But have you noticed how, with the government shutdown and other urgent stories, we’re not discussing the need to release the Epstein files? Additionally, Mike Johnson has the authority to “swear in” the recently elected Democratic congresswoman! He refuses to do so, appa

This is a tragedy, and no matter where you stand politically, the loss of life in this way is heartbreaking. Political violence is never the answer. But the news of Charlie Kirk’s killing raises urgent concerns about Trump and concerns about Kirk’s demands for Epstein files!

What ICE is doing is illegal and it’s traumatizing families. They’re dehumanizing people. They’re arresting citizens. They’re persecuting people. And they’re targeting the Hispanic community, many of whom were misled and voted for Trump. That’s why I’ve translated The Influence Continuum, BITE Model and updated Combating Cult Mind Control into Spanish, so people can understand mind control and how many cults are involved with the cult of Trump.
