BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard EXPOSED As Secret Cult Member While In Office
The Documents Are Shocking...
Tulsi Gabbard spent years telling voters she was her own person. She told a Washington Post reporter in 2019 that her spiritual guru, Chris Butler, had never mentored her politically. “No, no, not at all,” she said.
Hundreds of encrypted memos tell a different story.
Who Chris Butler Is
Butler is the 78-year-old leader of a breakaway Hare Krishna group called the Science of Identity Foundation. Gabbard grew up in it. Her parents held senior positions. Former members have described it as a cult whose followers were isolated from the outside world and required to give Butler total obedience. Butler reportedly demanded secrecy around his directives and avoided written communications, using intermediaries to deliver instructions and leaving his name off documents in case they became public.
He had been trying to infiltrate politics for decades. In 1975, he wrote that “inept politicians should be removed from their seats” and replaced by what he called “saintly persons.” The following year, a political party called Independents for Godly Government appeared in Hawaii with 14 candidates. An investigation by a Honolulu newspaper found they were all Butler followers, running while hiding their connection to him.
One former member who knew Butler’s operation said he was obsessed with politics and wanted, simply, “to rule the world.”
The Memos
A former SIF member named Rebecca Saltzburg, who worked on Gabbard’s congressional campaigns and previously served as Butler’s secretary, shared more than 25,000 pages of documents with the Washington Post. Among them were hundreds of memos sent through an encrypted email domain called NineIsles.com, a domain used exclusively by Butler’s office, containing detailed political and policy directives for Gabbard during her time in Congress.
The memos told Gabbard what legislation to introduce, what to say on television, how to conduct herself in interviews, and what tweets to post, down to the exact wording and timing. The speaker behind the directives was never named in the documents, a deliberate measure to conceal Butler’s identity if they were ever discovered.
In a 2014 memo, an unnamed speaker pushed Gabbard to propose legislation penalizing countries whose citizens had fought for the Islamic State. “Get it started in the morning,” the speaker said. “You need to be the leader in this regard. Don’t dick around.” Gabbard released a statement the following day. A week later, she introduced the bill.
A memo labeled “CNN Wolf Blitzer Talking points (Final)” contained this line about being disinvited from a presidential debate: “It’s not a ‘boohoo, I don’t get to go to the party’ situation, Wolf.” Gabbard said on CNN that same day, almost verbatim: “The issue here is not about me saying boo-hoo, I’m going to miss the party.”
Reporters compared Gabbard’s remarks across 32 television interviews between 2014 and 2016 against the corresponding talking-point memos. On 24 occasions, she used language from the memos almost verbatim. In the remaining eight, she promoted the same ideas using different words.
Fake Accounts and a Troll Farm
The memos were only part of what Saltzburg shared. Hundreds of additional documents revealed a coordinated campaign to manufacture public support for Gabbard online using fake social media accounts with fabricated names, photos, education histories, and biographies.
“James Cade,” described as a father, guitar player, woodworker, and tree planter, was a woman named Becky. “Sandy Thomas” and “Jeremy K” were both controlled by someone named Anna. A Twitter account emailed pre-written posts daily with notes like “IMPORTANT TO DO: must tweet around 9am. Every word of the tweet language is approved.”
Gabbard herself participated in group chats where the operation was coordinated. In one message from her personal Skype account, she flagged an article that had gone uncontested and asked: “Why didn’t we get our talkers to comment?” In another, she advised a commenter that there was “no need to call him a brutal dictator” when defending her stance on Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Saltzburg said she led parts of the operation for years. “I did genuinely believe we were fighting for the environment, against regime change war,” she said. “Everyone was lied to. The people of Hawaii were lied to.”
America’s Top Intelligence Official
The memos were written between 2011 and 2017. But their echoes ran straight into Gabbard’s time as Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, the official who coordinated the CIA, the NSA, and more than a dozen other intelligence agencies.
One 2016 memo documented guidance that the CIA had started the Syrian civil war and could not be trusted. Gabbard made that claim publicly three years later. The memos were filled with deep suspicion of U.S. intelligence agencies, a view Butler had held for decades and repeatedly expressed in his lectures, including claims that the CIA had bugged his childhood home and that spy agencies were filled with “power-hungry madmen” seeking psychic control over people.
A stylometric analysis performed by an AI tool examining the memos against Butler’s 7,000-page lecture archive concluded the speaker in the memos was far more likely Butler than anyone else proposed as an alternative author. Distinctive non-words used in both the memos and Butler’s lectures, including “duplistic” and “judgmentalism,” pointed consistently to the same source.
Gabbard left the DNI position this month, citing her husband’s cancer diagnosis. Her office’s final statement called the reporting “a blatant example of anti-Hindu bigotry” and dismissed it as tied to a “failed extortion attempt.”
The memos remain. The recordings remain. The fake accounts, some of which were still posting coordinated messages in praise of Gabbard as recently as last year, remain.
The woman who coordinated American intelligence told voters for over a decade that her guru had no influence on her politics. Hundreds of encrypted documents, a decade of voting records, and 32 television transcripts suggest the opposite was true from the very beginning.
