    About this audiobook

    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.

      A good book to browse is "Prime Chaos" by Phil Hine. Having read the book many years ago I was able to immediately recognize the techniques being used by alt-right meme pushers and the communication techniques of Donald Trump's disinformation campaign. These techniques are also utilized in commercial advertising and political propaganda.

      Very interesting. However, the Holy Bible even states a flat earth which is referred to as The Firmament! Conspiracy theories would be a topic of discussion if they did not exit. You only looked down the rabbit hole!!!

      The author assumes...his world view is the “accurate” one as well a disregards quantum physics role in creation. It’s no different than corporate marketing. “Magick” ...or mass manipulation is used by all politicians and corporate entities. Sadly ...people live very small lives. DJT ...does not.
