Hello, I'm Dr. Steve Hassan with another episode of cults, culture, and coercion.

And I've been very excited to meet Kelvin Pierce, my guest for this episode for a really long time.

My dear friend and colleague John Atec said, Steve, you have to interview Kelvin. And

Kelvin, I understand you've done three episodes on John Atec's YouTube. That's a plug for his work.

So I'm just going to start by reading a little something about you, Kelvin.

First of all, you're a fellow author, and your book is entitled Sins of My Father, Growing Up

with America's Most Dangerous White Supremicist.

So, like so many of my other guests, you were raised in an authoritarian household.

Just turns out that your father was this incredibly important figure in the neo-Nazi white supremacy cult that spawned other cults.

But after you exited at age 18, after incredible amounts of emotional abuse,

physical abuse, and we'll get into that, we're now talking many years later,

and you founded a 501C3 charitable foundation called the

Divine Childs Foundation that administers to often children in the country of Georgia.

Kudos to you.

So I'll just finish with the intro that Kelvin was raised to be a hardcore racist. His father was Dr.

William Pierce, a world-renowned founder and leader of the National Alliance, one of the

most well-known hate groups in the world. Kelvin's father was labeled as the most dangerous and influential neo-Nazi or white nationalists

in North America by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League for over 30

years.

And I already mentioned you suffered years of physical and emotional abuse from your father during

while you were growing up and left home. And you were, you know, shared your story of rampant abuse,

mental illness, and eventual recovery through the power of spiritual self-reflection and choice.
