''Clouds Blur the Rainbow: The Other Side of New Alliance Party'' is a non-fiction report by Chip Berlet, published in 1987 by Political Research Associates (PRA). Berlet presents his view that Lenora Fulani and her campaign manager and tactician Fred Newman "use totalitarian deception to manipulate social and political activists,〔(How Fred Newman & Lenora Fulani Use Totalitarian Deception to Manipulate Social and Political Activists ), ''PublicEye'', Chip Berlet, retrieved February 21, 2007.〕 and describe Newman and Fulani's therapeutic approach, Social Therapy, as "totalitarian cultism".〔Chip Berlet, (Institutes for Social Therapy and Totalitarian Cultism ), ''Public Eye'', retrieved February 21, 2007.〕 Berlet concludes that the relationship between the New Alliance Party and the Social Therapy practice of Newman and Fulani was "manipulative and unethical", and that "the NAP must be judged in the context of being a political movement that lacks clarity concerning basic moral issues involving personal and political exploitation." Portions of the report appeared in an issue of the Marxist journal ''Radical America'' published in November 1988 under the title "Fiction and the New Alliance Party."〔''Radical America'', September–October 1987; Vol. 21, No. 5, (available online ). Although dated 1987, the magazine was not mailed until November 1988 (see note on inside front cover)〕 The introduction by the journal's editors article noted that Fulani's New Alliance Party has attracted people "seeking something radical", but that the NAP had failed the journal's test for a "legitimate left organization", that NAP and its affiliates "were not just other legitimate groups with whom we must co-exist", and that the readers of the report who find anyone who is attracted to Fulani's NAP should "actively try to dissuade them from pursuing this course". == Cited in secondary works == Berlet and Lyons cite the report in their 2000 work, ''Right-Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort''.〔Chip Berlet and Matthew N.
