Pressed by current events, Dimitri and Khalid finally dust off one of their longest-planned SJ episodes: a deep dive into the underexamined spiritual life of Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, former Hawaii Reprsentative/current Army PSYOP officer Tulsi Gabbard.
Topics include:
Tulsi downplaying her life-long relationship with the Science of Identity Foundation cult in Hawaii led by the charismatic white boomer Chris Butler, her journey from heckin' Berniebro to anti-woke Trump ally, SIF’s adjacency to the Hare Krishnas, Hare Krishna founder A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Tulsi’s political connections with Narendra Modi and the neo-fascist RSS in India, Pierre Omidyar’s quiet support for Modi and the BJP, Soviet allegations in 1983 that the Hare Krishnas were a CIA mind control cult, Butler’s obsessive hatred of gay people and Muslims, rebelling against his Communist-sympathizing doctor father in the 60s, assembling a political front in the 1970s to ban homosexuality in Hawaii, key Butlerites serving as Tulsi’s staffers and advisors, her curious “anti-interventionist” political stances, Indian perceptions of the Hare Krishnas as CIA agents during the Cold War, and more. Part one of two.
