What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

It turns out what I learned, because I was a whistleblower for a congressional subcommittee investigation in 1976, they were looking into Korean CIA activities in the United States, and the Moonies were a major part of the Korean CIA.

Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

And what I later came to understand, we're getting into politics, is this okay?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

What I understood was that because North Korea brainwashes, this is the height of the Cold War.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

North Korea and South Korea separated.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

There were two unsuccessful coups in South Korea.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

The CIA thought we have to stabilize the regime.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

So we're going to help them set up a Korean CIA and we're going to pick a proxy group to brainwash political dissonance.

And they selected the Moonies.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

So the Moonies were used as a tool to brainwash South Koreans.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

And they used the Moonies to make arms to give to dictatorships around the world by passing congressional approval.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

This is insane.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

I'm not making this up.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

I've written books on this.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Well, but remember MKUltra?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Okay, so the CIA was experimenting with LSD, hypnosis, electroshock.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

And after Jonestown, there was a special, I think ABC did a special, and the former head psychologist of the CIA said, yeah, we researched brainwashing, but we didn't find anything that worked, and we burned our records.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Dr. Steven Hassan: Are You In a Cult?

Total lies.
