Does Turning Point USA Trace Back To Satanic Psychological Warfare Doctrine

Why the Question Persists

For organizations that emphasize moral clarity, faith, and values, origins matter. Silence about origins can be as consequential as endorsement. When techniques designed by a Satanist to manipulate belief systems appear indistinguishable from contemporary political messaging strategies, the burden shifts to transparency. The public is entitled to know whether such doctrines are being consciously employed, consciously rejected, or simply inherited without scrutiny.

That is the connection this report documents: not a secret cabal, but a traceable line from Satanic psychological theory to modern political influence, passing through a co-authored military doctrine that still shapes how power speaks to the mind.
