The guy behind Trump last night, and seen before, goes by three different names. His website links to all sorts of bizarre conspiracy theories.
Most alarming, he was once part of the Yaweh ben Yaweh group. This was an extreme black religious cult out of Miami in the 70s and 80s. I mean WAY out there. Murders, crime syndicates, the whole thing.
I remember growing up in South Florida then, and on the public access channel in the afternoons on Sunday, this outfit ran a show that the leader did from prison. Big time black supremacy, chosen people kind of stuff. The criminal enterprise was extreme, to say the least.
In a sense, though, he fits right in with the whack-a-doodle Trump conspiracy nut fringe elements. This is part of Trump's base. The mentally ill and deranged. the violent. The sovereign citizen types with singular causes bordering on aliens kidnapped me level bizarreness.

Before he started calling himself Michael the Black Man, the man identified as Maurice Woodside. Around 1980, he joined a cult led by Hulon Mitchell Jr., who went by Yahweh Ben Yahweh and eventually turned violent, reported the New Times. The two men met when Woodside was 21.
Woodside followed Yahwehs fiery teachings for years, even after the leader allegedly denied his dying, cancer-stricken mother medical treatment and instead prescribed her vegetables, nuts and herbs, prosecutors once said in court, according to the New Times.
In the early 1990s, the New Times reported, Woodside, Yahweh and 14 other members of the cult were arrested by federal agents and charged with racketeering and conspiracy in 14 murders and a firebombing, reported the New Times.

Ricardo Woodside, Maurices brother, had once been in the cult but left after his mothers death. Woodside testified in court that his brother had helped beat a man named Aston Green, who argued with Yahweh and was taken to the Florida Everglades and beheaded with a dull machete, reported the New Times.
He also testified that Maurice Woodside was the cult member who stabbed a Louisiana man named Leonard Dupree in the eye with a sharpened stick.
Yahweh was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Maurice Woodside, who denies the cult was violent or murderous, was acquitted along with six others.
You know why I wasnt scared? Woodside told the New Times in 2011, speaking of those charges. Because Yahweh wasnt scared!
In later years, Woodside changed his name to Maurice Symonette. Eventually, he became Michael the Black Man, an anti-Democrat or as he calls them, Demon-crat who preaches the Bible and abhors homosexuality. He started a private radio station, BOSS 104.1 FM, to broadcast his radical beliefs, and began causing a ruckus in public.

His website, Gods2.com, proclaims on the landing page: LATIN, BLACK AND WHITE MUST UNITE!
Links on that site lead to another one, honestfact.com, which claims that the Real KKK Slave Masters are CHEROKEE Indians (Hidden Babylonians).
The proclamations only get more unhinged from there: ISIS AND HILLARY RACE WAR PLOT TO KILL ALL BLACK & WHITE WOMAN OF AMERICA WITH MS-13.
And: YAHWEH BEN YAHWEH Taught Us To Vote Republican & is Now VINDICATED.
And: BLACKS FOR TRUMP SUPPORTS SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS
The site also displays a photo of a Confederate flag with the caption: Cherokee Democratic Flag.
