Dark Star Rising

[Deep State Witch]

I just started reading the book "Dark Star Rising" by Gary Lachman. It details the "New Thought" and Chaos Magic behind Trump's rise. I strongly recommend this book.

Within the concentric circles of Trump's regime lies an unseen culture of occultists, power-seekers, and mind-magicians whose influence is on the rise. In this unparalleled account, historian Gary Lachman examines the influence of occult and esoteric philosophy on the unexpected rise of the alt-right.

Did positive thinking and mental science help put Donald Trump in the White House? And are there any other hidden powers of the mind and thought at work in today's world politics? In Dark Star Rising: Magick and Power in the Age of Trump, historian and cultural critic Gary Lachman takes a close look at the various magical and esoteric ideas that are impacting political events across the globe. From New Thought and Chaos Magick to the far-right esotericism of Julius Evola and the Traditionalists, Lachman follows a trail of mystic clues that involve, among others, Norman Vincent Peale, domineering gurus and demagogues, Ayn Rand, Pepe the Frog, Rene Schwaller de Lubicz, synarchy, the Alt-Right, meme magic, and Vladimir Putin and his postmodern Rasputin. Come take a drop down the rabbit hole of occult politics in the twenty-first century and find out the post-truths and alternative facts surrounding the 45th President of the United States with one of the leading writers on esotericism and its influence on modern culture.

1. Interesting, but not surprising to me.

Nazis were very much into the occult. These are just modern day nazis, taking their cues from their shared evil history. I do think, however, that as much or more than the occult, modern psychology plays a large role in their methods. So much has been written on chaos theory in the modern world and the impact it has on our brains... and then add in the still-in-use subliminal messaging and stochastic terrorism... and the weak brained are simply willing dupes.

I do abhor how symbols of protection and power are being usurped for evil, but I guess it is to be expected. The "father of lies" as they call him, is well known for twisting truth into lies, thus ensnaring the weak minded. T has this concept down to rights... a small hint of a truth and then twisted into something totally false. Yet, the weak minded can't separate the kernal of truth from the lie, so they fall for the whole thing.

Hmmm... postmodern Rasputin? I nominate Bannon...!
