Dr. Steven Hassan and Anthony Davis: Navigating Journalistic Integrity in an Age of Misinformation Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2024-03-04 | Anthony Davis is a British broadcaster, journalist, and voiceover artist. He was born in London and has been based in Los Angeles since 2017, where he works remotely from his home studio with networks worldwide. Upon relocating to the United States, Anthony Davis discerned a void in the market for the fact-based journalistic approach prevalent in the UK.

Dr. Steven Hassan on the death of Alexei Nevalny Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2024-02-20 | I am so upset by the news that Putin essentially assassinated his primary rival, Alexei Navalny. If you haven’t yet watched the documentary on Navalny, I strongly urge you to do so. When MAGA people say they want a dictator, they are being good members of the Cult of Putin. If you have been following my work, I have been sharing details that document Trump is an asset of Putin. Other members of our government who deny the violent #Jan6th coup attempt and are currently withholding the vote (#MoscowMikeJohnson in Malcolm Nance’s word) not voting for funds for Ukraine are doing Putin’s bidding.

Dr. Steven Hassan with André Gagné & Frederick Clarkson - Theocracy & The New Apostolic Reformation Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2024-02-12 | In this era of political polarization, the landscape in the United States is marked by the rise of Donald Trump as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election. This despite Trump facing numerous legal challenges–including over his involvement in the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol. However, Trump and his supporters are but the most visible element. Part of the reason for his rise is a profound tale of our time. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is increasingly taking over the religious right movement and, in turn, influencing the Republican Party, which holds implications for Christianity and the future of democracy. #drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #freedomofmind #authoritarianism #democracy #cultoftrump #trump #theocracy #religiouscult .*******************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Through their conversation, they explore the inner workings and controversial practices of Scientology, including a deep dive into the Sea Org, the organization's most devout sector, where members commit their lives under billion-year contracts.Dr. Hassan, drawing from his own experiences and extensive research, highlights how sleep deprivation is strategically used to weaken individuals' critical thinking abilities, making them more susceptible to manipulation and control. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of such mind control tactics beyond Scientology, questioning the ethics and psychological impact on individuals.This video offers a rare insight into the mechanics of mind control within cult-like organizations and the psychological resilience needed to counteract these influences. It's a candid conversation that sheds light on the darker aspects of human psychology and the lengths to which some organizations will go to maintain control over their members.#JoeRogan #DrStevenHassan #Scientology #MindControl #SeaOrg #CriticalThinking #Psychology #cults #sleepdeprivation @JoeRogan @joerogan @MozRawPoliceFootage ********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Steven Hassan talks w/Neşe Devenot, Ph.D. - Psychedelic Experimentation: Preventing Undue Influence Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2024-02-05 | Psychedelic research and experimentation are increasing around the nation under serious academic scrutiny. Findings indicate that in some instances, psychedelics may be helpful in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), particularly among veterans, where symptoms are common in areas such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, anger, and post-concussive syndrome. In a group where suicidality shows an alarming increase, adding another therapeutic tool using appropriate caution and influence appears hopeful. However, as research picks up in these areas of psychology, rarely do we discuss the potential dangers of cults, mind control, undue influence, or authoritarian control surrounding the topic of psychedelics. Silicon Valley billionaires reportedly are increasingly using psychedelics in non-therapeutic ways to produce business breakthroughs. In this community, there is a societal push for others to use them in a hugely irresponsible and potentially manipulative way.#drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #psychedelic #mindcontrol #mentalhealth #selfhelpcult********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Dr. Steven Hassan w/Dr. Melanie Trowbridge - AI, Technology & Mind Control in Natural Wellnes Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2024-01-29 | Natural medicine might seem distant from the far-right fringes of society until you dig a little deeper and find the wealth of ‘wellness products’ being sold alongside political conspiracies. There is a constant quest for increasing well-being and less ‘toxic’ lifestyles. Meanwhile, conspiracy theories drain resources and instill fears, including political plots, controls, and cabals. It happens in the extremes on all sides, the quest for health alongside an implanted mission searching for “the truth.” Time magazine printed a November 2023 article called Wellness Conspiracy Theories are Spreading and highlighted the topic known colloquially as “conspirituality.” This leaves people simply seeking to feel better with the additional question of how to recognize scams from reality in holistic and natural health communities. #drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #wellness #ai #conspirituality #conspiracy #naturalmedicine #freedomofmind #mentalhealth #selfhelpcult********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Joining the campaign when then-candidate Trump was polling last in the GOP field, Alva is one of the very few former campaign staffers who worked under Corey Lewandowski, Paul Manafort, Dave Bossie, and Steve Bannon. Alva quit Trump the day the Access Hollywood tape was released, as she experienced remarkably similar behavior towards her from him as described in his Access Hollywood hot mic. Freed from the legal ramifications of an NDA, Alva wishes to help “reverse engineer” how the Trump campaign reached and recruited millions of Americans- with the help of Russian agents, data targeting, and money. #drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #cultoftrump #democracy #freedomofmind #politicalcult********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books
Steven Hassan w/ Psychologist Nigel Denning - Utilizing Integrative Psychology & Psychedelic Therapy Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2024-01-02 | What is Integrative Psychology? What is “organization of mind?” If a person is interested in embodied mind practices, which include concentration meditation training, it takes very specialized training and practice to navigate this terrain effectively. I wanted to ask my colleague Nigel Denning to share his decades of experience. We know each other because we both have received training from the famous forensic psychologist and Tibetan Buddhist teacher Daniel P. Brown. Sadly, Dr. Brown passed away last year, but his work lives on. Nigel and I are planning for me to travel to Melbourne in early 2025 to offer training together, which we plan to record and put together as an online course. Hopefully, we hope to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to optimize their minds, create a nurturing environment for growth and healing, and develop awareness of and resilience against the numerous forms of undue influence that permeate our culture. #drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #mentalhealth #integrativepsychiatry #healing #therapycult********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Dr. Steven Hassan w Ruth Ben-Ghiat - STRONGMEN: The Rising Tide of Online Authoritarian Influence Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2023-12-12 | Navigating a deeply divided, polarized world filled with vulnerable souls to the siren calls of conspiracy theories, I find it essential to shine a light on the shadows where undue influence thrives. In this discussion with historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, we discuss the subtle and often sinister ways authoritarianism intertwines with the psychological mechanisms of control. We connect the dots from my experiences with cults and coercive persuasion. Ruth Ben-Ghiat is an NYU professor and expert on fascism and authoritarianism, a celebrated author, MSNBC columnist, and consultant, including for del Toro’s Oscar-winning ‘Pinocchio.’ Her book Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present explores the tactics of illiberal rulers and the history of resistance against them. With a focus on unraveling the complex tapestry of undue influence in modern politics, my discussion with historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat sheds light on the intricate relationship between authoritarianism and its psychological underpinnings.#drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #freedomofmind #authoritarianism #dictator #undueinfluence #dictator #politicalcult********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Dr. Steven Hassan w Rebecca Bender - Breaking the Chains: Mind Control in Human Trafficking Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2023-11-30 | Human trafficking is defined in international law as the use of fraud, force, or coercion to enslave people. It is a scourge that operates not just through physical coercion but through the devastating use of mind control, a method of psychological enslavement. Rebecca Bender is a courageous survivor and advocate who works tirelessly to empower survivors, train law enforcement, do expert witness work, and assist policymakers. She created the Rebecca Bender Initiative and the online Elevate Academy, which empowers trafficking survivors over the age of eighteen to move forward with their lives. She found encouragement and mentorship from Carissa Phelps and Rachel Thomas, who, with me, developed “Ending the Game”, a ten-session program for trafficking survivors under the age of eighteen. Understanding the tactics traffickers use is critical for prevention, as well as escape and recovery. My discussions with experts and survivors are not just academic; they are practical resources that shine a light on the manipulative strategies used in trafficking. Knowledge of these tactics can be lifesaving for anyone at risk or currently trapped. In this exploration, we delve deep into the intricate web of human trafficking, examining the various manipulative tactics employed by traffickers and the significant role that education and empowerment play in the recovery process. #drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #freedomofmind #mindcontrol #humantraffickingawareness #trafficking #survivors ******************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Dr. Steven Hassan with Peter Grinspoon, M.D. - The Case for Debunking Medical Cannabis Myths Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2023-11-16 | In his latest book, Seeing Through the Smoke: A Cannabis Specialist Untangles the Truth About Marijuana, Peter Grinspoon, M.D. has written an excellent, comprehensive, and authoritative book. Grinspoon is a primary care doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital and an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He has been a medical cannabis specialist for over twenty-five years. Dr. Grinspoon, a popular speaker, is frequently featured in the national media on issues such as cannabis, addiction, and physician health.

Peter’s brother Danny suffered from leukemia and cannabis was the only thing to help him eat and prolong his life. Carl Sagan was a close family friend and was Dr. X in this book. This new book is truly a valuable book that approaches cannabis in a thoughtful, responsible manner so needed at this time. Peter does consultations, talks, and trainings and is truly an authority on this topic. #drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #cannabisheals #health ********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Dr. Steven Hassan talks about the Troubled Teen Industry Abuse w Former Victim Melanie Friedman LCSW Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2023-11-02 | Do you worry about your teenager's safety and fear they could fall into the deceptive webs of manipulative, cult-like groups? Are you a desperate parent seeking intervention services for your struggling teen? If so, you can't afford to miss this interview with Melanie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a survivor of the infamous Troubled Teen Industry —a largely unregulated web of residential behavior modification programs notorious for subjecting struggling teens to various forms of abuse. Our riveting dialogue focuses on these unregulated behavior modification programs' stark realities and untold abuses. Melanie's mission is to raise awareness and educate mental health professionals on coercive control settings like these. Why is this essential? Because desperate parents might unknowingly send their vulnerable teens into a dangerous commercial cult. Of course, there are legitimate therapeutic groups and settings but one needs to vet them extremely carefully and understand from former victims and experts what red flags to watch out for!#drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #therapycult #troubledyouth #teenagers ********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Dr. Steven Hassan and Paul Jensen - The Assemblies of God; Secrets of a High-Demand Church Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2023-10-26 | Growing up in the Assemblies of God, the second-largest Pentecostal denomination in the United States with approximately three million members, Paul Jensen witnessed firsthand the controversial culture and beliefs that define this religious movement. Founded in 1914 and initially considered a fringe group by mainstream Protestant denominations, the Assemblies of God gradually gained acceptance. However, as Paul discovered, this movement’s high-demand and questionable history are often concealed from public scrutiny. He shared his journey of discovery after growing up in the Assemblies of God, the world’s largest denomination of the Pentecostal and Charismatic “Spirit Led” movement. He reveals the little-known authoritarian cult roots of the Assemblies of God and how the church has created an official narrative that conceals its true history. Unfortunately, the protections of law that prohibit religious groups from engaging in supporting political campaigns has been sidestepped in the USA, so understanding the fraud used to control members and their beliefs that they “hear from God” has caused intense polarization with all who do not subscribe to their “certainty” of commitment.#drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #freedomofmind #authoritarianism #cultsurvivor #assembliesofgod #religiouscult ********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Dr. Steven Hassan talks with Rich Logis -From MAGA Activist to National Healer Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2023-10-18 | In a world marked by political extremes, high-control groups, and the Influence Continuum, the story of Rich Logis stands out as both compelling and enlightening. Formerly a true believer pundit for the MAGA movement, Rich’s transformation offers a deep dive into the mechanics of belief, mind control, the allure of belonging, and the power of self-reflection and transformation. Rich Logis was a podcaster and deeply committed MAGA activist. His journey resonates with what I’ve observed repeatedly: deceptive recruitment, emotional manipulation, and information control that exploits the deep-seated human need to belong and make a difference. Yet, the moment of awakening and subsequent transformation makes his narrative genuinely captivating. Now, as he says, he’s working to bring good news to the afflicted and to help others leave MAGA and exit the closed system of demonizing all opponents.#drstevenhassan #stevenhassan #cults #mindcontrol #brainwashing #politicalcult********************************************Learn more at: freedomofmind.com Subscribe to The Influence Continuum podcast: freedomofmind.com/podcast-3 Enroll in our courses - courses.freedomofmind.com/collectionsDownload a .pdf of the BITE model here!freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-modelSubscribe to the Freedom of Mind newsletter: freedomofmind.com/subscribeRead or listen to Dr. Hassan's books: freedomofmind.com/books

Dr. Steven Hassan w/John Hunter, PhD: Large Group Awareness Trainings (LGATs) Weaponize Dopamine Dr. Steven Hassan - Cult Expert 2023-10-12 | Large Group Awareness Trainings (LGATs) bill themselves as transformational multi-day workshops. You often feel pressured to attend, perhaps by your corporation or a family member or friend, and you are deliberately not told what will happen there. These workshops often utilize eight to twelve-hour marathon sessions to wear down a person's identity. According to research by South African Dr. John Hunter, they artificially create bipolar states in participants. Hunter offers a fresh and unique analytical framework to explain the highs people experience at the end of a "training." He is a researcher and lecturer based in Johannesburg. His interest in large group awareness trainings – and their impact on mood and psychosis – is grounded in his personal experience of bipolar disorder and his participation in an LGAT in 2010. Dr. Hunter put forward the Dopaminergic-Defense Hypothesis, which offers insights into both (i) the "transformational" experiences associated with LGAT participation and (ii) the common claims of psychological harm and problematic behavior associated with LGAT participation. In 2022, he published an article summarizing the mechanism behind the dopaminergic defense in the Journal for the Cognitive Science of Religion (Hunter, 2022). Hunter and I believe the stress and hyperarousal methods occur in many different environments including authoritarian cults and religious groups.
