Clouds Blur the Rainbow: The Other Side of New Alliance Party is a non-fiction book by Chip Berlet, published in 1987 by Political Research Associates (PRA). The book describes the activities of Fred Newman and Lenora Fulani within the New Alliance Party. The author presents his viewpoint that Newman and Fulani "Use Totalitarian Deception to Manipulate Social and Political Activists", as well as describing what Berlet refers to as "Totalitarian Cultism".
Stanley Kurtz of the conservative magazine National Review described researchers from the dominionism field as "conspiracy mongers".
In citing Clouds Blur the Rainbow in a 2004 article, The Nation referred to Chip Berlet as "Political Research Associates' excellent senior analyst". The book is cited in Mandery's 2001 book on the history of political campaigns, Eyes on City Hall. Dennis King cites the book in an online bibliographical list. Berlet and Lyons also cite the book in their 2000 work, Right-Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort.
Response from Fulani and Newman
Lenora Fulani referred to the book in a public address in 2006, saying: "It was all a pack of lies – making false allegations of anti-Semitism and cultism against me and Dr. Newman. It was fairly vicious.". In an article on BlackElectorate.com, Fulani characterized the book as a "diatribe" written by "white leftists."
The book was also referenced in a 1993 lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Fulani and Newman against the FBI and Janet Reno.
