| Wotld of Cults: Modi and Trump |
At the end times, people of the nature of Modi, Trump, and several of the same ilk will be in power.
What are characteristics of such leaders?
They have some or all of these characteristics:
Egotism:
Narcissism:
Misogynistic:
Religious perversions:
Lack of education:
Above all, many are habitual purveyors of untruth.
They usually start with one small lie and, thereafter, their entire life becomes a continuous stream of lies!
Rachel Maddow is one of the top television presenters in the US.
Her recent video about the world of fraud of Donald Trump is worth watching!
Misogynist Modi
Narendra and Jashodaben Modi were married in 1968 when she was about 17 and Modi was 18. A short time into the marriage, her husband, Narendra Modi, abandoned her. He did not acknowledge the marriage publicly until he was legally required to do so prior to the 2014 Indian general elections to the Lok Sabha.
The tragic life of Jashodaben Modi is outlined in a Wikipedia entry.
Misogynist Trump
Donald Trump has been married three times and he has been convicted of sexual assault.
He has talked disparagingly of women which he later described as “locker room talk”!
I have been in many locker rooms and have never heard such filthy talk!
Modi - Truth or Untruth?
I am a 1963 graduate of Delhi University and then have various professional qualifications and achievements from various other Institutes (Plastics, Rubber, Materials Technologies).
The certificates I hold from all these institutions are my proud possessions. I display them to all and sundry.
Even the small cups I received in my 2nd standard in school are still on display in my home! :-)
Why would I hide my talents under a bushel?
Modi claims that he graduated with a Master of Arts Degree from Gujarat University with a degree in “Entire Political Science”!
Not a single classmate of Modi has come forward to substantiate this claim.
A search of the Gujarat University archives does not find any mention of such a course nor is there any record of a single faculty member in this “department”.
As was summarised in an AI search
“ there is no specific information available regarding a course or program titled "Entire Political Science" at Gujarat University in 1983 or in any other year. The term "Entire Political Science" does not appear to be a standard or widely recognized academic designation.”
“If there was a course or program called "Entire Political Science" at Gujarat University in 1983, details about its curriculum, duration leading to a master's degree, and specific differences from a traditional MA in Political Science are not readily available or documented in public sources.”
“It is highly unusual for a degree program to exist without any faculty members associated with it. Typically, a degree program requires a team of qualified faculty members to teach courses, supervise research, and provide academic guidance to students. The absence of any information on the faculty members of the "Entire Political Science" program at Gujarat University raises questions about the legitimacy of such a degree and the credibility of the institution.”
Rather, it raises doubts the credibility about the degree certificate produced on behalf of Narendra Modi!
No such course obviously existed in the university at any time. The existence could not be substantiated by anyone. It short - it is a false claim!
Trump’s lies are cheaper by the dozen as is seen from the testimony in 91 civil and criminal cases that he faces today.
If one is capable of one small lie, then a thousand lies will automatically follow!
Modi and Trump are “cult” leaders. They downplay Truth in favour of Error,
A cult promotes a single person as its supreme leader. eg., Modi, Trump.
A cult substitutes human technology for the word of God. eg., New Indian Parliament, Ram Mandir, US Border Wall.
A cult manipulates minds. eg., Modi’s Mann ki Bath, WhatsApp Rs. 2 University.
A cult claims to work miracles! This is usually by reinterpreting natural phenomena as a miracle!
A cult denies indivuality. eg., Hindutava, RSS movements.
A cult promotes Man over God!
Cults gather around the leader those of similar nature and rule by the will of their uneducated, exploiting the bigotry to stay in power.
This extract was from the New York Times of a few weeks ago:
Do you see any similarity of what is happening in India of today?
In recent interview Narendra Modi said:
"God has sent me to the earth with a purpose”, says Narendra Modi on his connection with his almighty.
In an exclusive interview with News18 Group Editor-in-Chief Rahul Joshi, News18 Kannada Editor Hariprasad, and News18 Lokmat Anchor Vilas Bade, Modi spoke in detail about his connection with God and how the almighty has chosen his path for him.

What are the major features that define a cult?
Based on an article from Verywell Mind, here are ten features that warn of a cult:
According to the Cult Education Institute, there are specific warning signs to look out for when considering whether a group might be a cult. Cults are characterized by:
- Absolute authoritarianism without accountability. eg., Manipur massacre, Gujarat bridge collapse, Zero tolerance for criticism or questions. (eg., Modi has not held a single open press conference in 10 years, but people are lauded through his monologue "Mann ki Baat")
- Lack of meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget. (eg., Unconstitutional Electoral Bonds and unaccounted PM Cares Fund., Trump’s election contributions.)
- Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve evil conspiracies and persecutions. (eg., All world indicies unfavourable to India are conspiracies of others, CAA, Trump's assertions about immigrants diluting the blood of "pure" Americans.)
- A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason for anyone else to leave.
- Abuse of members.
- Records, books, articles, or programs documenting the abuses of the leader or group are banned. (Personal attacks on anyone who exposes the despicable acts of the leader. eg., Attack on BBC in India after release of documentary on Gujarat 2002 massacre, arrest of media personel and political leaders who oppose the leader.)
- Followers feeling they are never able to be “good enough”.
- A belief that the leader is right at all times.
- A belief that the leader is the exclusive means of knowing “truth” or giving validation.
These characteristics help in recognising a cult and understanding the dynamics within such organisations.
Why people become cult leaders is also not well understood.
Some experts suggest that most cult leaders tend to be psychopaths.
They are often charismatic and use psychological tactics to gain power, social control and allegiance from their followers!
Cult leaders often believe in the ideologies and beliefs they propagate to their followers. They are typically convinced of the righteousness and validity of their teachings, which fuels their charisma and ability to influence others. The sincerity of their beliefs can vary, with some leaders genuinely convinced of their message, while others may manipulate followers for personal gain.
It is essential to consider the complexity of each cult leader and their motivations when examining their beliefs and actions.
Fundamentalist fascist forces are going about their agenda relentlessly.
The Babri Masjid Mosque demolition, which we covered in detail in our blog entry about the Ram Mandir , has utilised the religious sentiment of people to fuel a political agenda using a committed judiciary!
The Hindutva agenda, carefully guided by the long-established fascist right wing Indians in the USA, has understood very well the success of Hitler, so well enunciated of the Nazi movement in Mein Kampf, and they have painstakingly led the RSS, while its "intelligentsia" has motivated the “illiterate Indian masses” into making every issue facing India into a religious conflict!
A man with 91 ccriminal and civil cases against him is able to come out on top of the nomination of the US Republican party as he has a cult following motivated by his completely false agenda which promises his followers to think that they are on the right side of God.
Look similarly at the Zionist agenda in Israel where a brain-washing of the children over 7 decades has made killing of Palestinians "a joy".
So also the killing of minorities in India as Muslims, Sikhs, Christians is completely normalised in the "unaccounted" belief that the minority is seriously threatening the majority population!
India entered the election cycle this April 2024 where misinformation is the norm. It is impossible to get correct information on social media.
The bulk of Indian media is totally corrupted.
The anti-Indian Government forces are being incarcerated on charges just as the election cycle commemced!
If Trump was in power in the US today, rather than Presidernt Jo Biden, he would probably have followed the same agenda being followed by the current Indian Government or the Israeli Government.
In Israel any Jew who stands for the Palestinians is humiliated!
Where then is democracy?
But let us dig a little deeper!'
Are there just a few such cult leaders?
Not so, as recorded in the present literature there are over 5000 cults of all types in the world today. Here are a few examples of the recent past which have been well documented.
Jim Jones opened his first church in the mid-1950s in Indianapolis. At the time he was not affiliated with any particular church denomination and had no theological training. His congregation was known for being racially integrated, which was particularly progressive at the time (Jones himself was white).
In 1960 Jones’s congregation, by then called the Peoples Temple, affiliated with the Disciples of Christ, and four years later Jones was ordained in that church. In the mid-1960s he and his wife incorporated the Peoples Temple in California and settled outside the town of Ukiah with some 100 followers, believing that the move would protect them in the event of nuclear holocaust. In 1970 Jones began holding services in San Francisco, and by 1972 he had opened another temple in Los Angeles. He began to make friends among politicians and the press in California and became a respected churchman. Thousands of followers, a large percentage of them African American, flocked to him; central to Jones’s appeal were his displays of mind reading and faith healing.
While the Peoples Temple was active in humanitarian causes in its communities, Jones’s treatment of his followers was often less than humane. Temple members were regularly humiliated, beaten, and blackmailed, and many were coerced or brainwashed into signing over their possessions— including their homes — to the church. Black members and members of other minority groups were convinced that if they left the Peoples Temple they would be rounded up into government-run concentration camps. Family members were kept apart and encouraged to inform on one another.
In 1977, after members of the press began to ask questions about Jones’s operation, he moved with several hundred of his followers to Jonestown, a compound that he had been building in Guyana for some three to four years.
Jim Jones released radio orders for Temple members outside the compound to commit suicide. Shortly thereafter Jones enacted his “revolutionary suicide” plan at the compound, which members had “practiced” in the past, in which a fruit drink was laced with cyanide, tranquilizers, and sedatives. It was first squirted into the mouths of babies and children via syringe and then imbibed by adult members. Jones himself died of a gunshot wound.
Fewer than 100 of the Temple members in Guyana survived the massacre; the majority of survivors either had defected that day or were in Georgetown. Officials later discovered a cache of firearms, hundreds of passports stacked together, and $500,000 in U.S. currency. Millions more had reportedly been deposited in bank accounts overseas.The Peoples Temple effectively disbanded after the incident and declared bankruptcy at the end of 1978.
David Koresh (born Vernon Wayne Howell; August 17, 1959 – April 19, 1993) was another American cult leader who played a central role in the Waco siege of 1993. As the head of the Branch Davidians, a religious sect, Koresh claimed to be its final prophet.
“The most amazing photo in science ever taken and the one so hard to believe, is this one:
This is a photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2012 of a tiny tiny section of night sky. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, it took 11 days of exposure to capture the light from these small dots.
What is so mind-blowing about it is the fact that with the exception of four small objects, no dot of light in this photo is a star. They are all entire galaxies of stars, over 10,000 separate vast islands of stars spanning quadrillions of miles in size each.
The dimmest dots actually represent galaxies that are over 12 billion light years from Earth. Because light travels at finite speed, it took over 12 BILLION YEARS for the light from those galaxies to arrive at Earth.
Stare at the photo for a bit and realize the incredible vastness it represents! Look deep into the image to find those dim dots.
The Hubble team did something really cool. Using hard data of how far each galaxy in the above image was from Earth, they created an actual video simulation of what it would look like to fly INTO the galaxies in the Ultra Deep Field image above. Every dot in the video is an entire galaxy of stars passing you by.
To really appreciate the Hubble Ultra Deep Field photo, click the video below to fly into that scene: (Note: At the speed of the video, it would take you trillions of years to fly at that speed through these galaxies in real time).
Scientists also looked deep into the blackness beyond the above galaxies and asked if there were even more galaxies to see, if the Hubble took an even longer exposure.
A few years later, with upgraded camera software, Hubble took an even longer and closer view of the same above spot. Sure enough, called the “Extreme Ultra Deep Field”, it contained a slew of even fainter galaxies. Here is the result:
In all likelihood, there are even more fainter, more distant galaxies hiding in the above darkness, beyond Hubble’s ability to see.
OK, so the sky has lots of galaxies. Surely that is crazy to grasp but perhaps not so hard to believe. To understand better what is so mind-blowing about the above photos, consider this image below:
Just how much of the sky did the Hubble telescope photograph to capture those 10,000 galaxies in one shot?
It is the answer that is impossible to believe.
Look at the image above. See that tiny faint yellow square in the upper left center?
THAT is the area of space the Hubble photographed. All of those 10,000 galaxies in the first image, stretching back in time almost to the beginning of the universe, came from inside that tiny yellow box.
In fact, the space occupied by that image would fit into an area smaller than a grain of rice, held up to the night sky at arm’s length. Move it a millimeter to the right, left, up or down, and it will block 10,000 more galaxies, then another 10,000, then another and another and …. Imagine how many galaxies you can cover if you contemplate the entire night sky?
Well, was this some kind of fluke? Perhaps Astronomers pointed the Hubble at a section of sky known to have lots of galaxies. In response, the Hubble took a dozen additional long-exposure photos of different parts of the sky over the years, also spanning no more distance than that tiny box above.
Here was the result of another such exposure:
This one, taken in 2018, is a time-exposure of another tiny part of the sky and found a whopping 15,000 galaxies in a single image.
Called the Hubble Legacy Field, it used the upgraded cameras on Hubble. It reveals galaxies stretching almost to infinity. Again, look deep into it to understand its magnificence.
Here was another exposure from yet a third tiny part of the night sky, named simply the “Hubble Deep Field” (it was in fact, the first photo taken of them all):
As you can see, it is filled with over 3,000 galaxies (the black area at top right is a camera artifact).
For a final view, this one is a closeup of a cluster of galaxies, one of hundreds known to exist. Most of the objects in it are massive galaxies, clustered together by their mutual gravity. It is called MACS JO717 (objects with long cross-hatch lines are stars in our Milky Way).
In short, everywhere Hubble looked in its dozen+ photos, it saw galaxies of stars … thousands upon thousands of them.
No one knew the night sky had that many islands of stars. Every Astronomer on Earth was blown away by the realization that when you look out at the night sky tonight, the darkness you see is not dark. It is FILLED with thousands upon millions upon billions of galaxies of stars, each containing hundreds of billions of suns and possibly trillions of planets of their own.
In fact, latest surveys estimate that our visible universe contains over 2 TRILLION galaxies, stretching to distances that no one can even comprehend. That is an almost impossible number to contemplate and is so humbling to realize.
Modern computers can draw simulations of what 2 trillion galaxies might look like, if we could see just a tiny fraction of them from a distance. Here is one such simulation (called the Large Scale Structure of the Universe)
Each dot above would be a galaxy of billions of stars positioned by the computer in its correct spot in the night sky.
To best understand this, choose just one tiny dot in the above image … anywhere.
Stare at it a bit. Then imagine that dot is our entire Milky Way galaxy. With our current technology, it would take humans 2 BILLION YEARS to cross just from one side of that tiny dot you picked out to the other side of that same dot.
Now, look around it in space. Imagine how vast is the universe when you contemplate traveling between these galaxies, between those tiny dots. We are just a tiny blob of protoplasm on a tiny planet orbiting one star out of septillions, in just one galaxy among trillions, in an impossibly immense space. That is why the Hubble photos of these galaxies have been voted by many scientists as the most amazing photos ever taken in science. “
In the context of the above why would we waste our time folllowing earthly egoists as Modi or Trump?
Doyou really think God would CHOOSE Modi for ANYTHING?
We have better things to do than partake of their self aggrandisation!
We follow our Guiding Principles and feel satisfied with the power it gives us!

Let these cult leaders win their respective elections and roll around in their selfie-dominated world!
It is also relevant to recognise characteristics of political cult leaders.
At the time of the Roman Empire, it drove its citizens to a fenzy over sports,, as the Gladiators where the spectators behaved like maniacs calling for killings of the losers.
Have you watched the audience’s of the Indian Premier Cricket League (IPL) and seen how they behave.
Grown men and women behaving in such a manner is not normal!
And these people normalise such craziness in their children.
Also there is the behaviour to build huge stadiums and call them after the cult leaders as, for example, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, the Rajiv Gandhi International
Stadium in Hyderabad, or the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
Amother feature of Cults to to build idols as the gigantic Sardar Patel Statue in Gujarat!
Gigantic in terms of our Universe?
Idol worship is one of the very strong signs of the end times.
The Trump edifices are another example of this Idol Worship!
