A SYNTHESIS OF THE COMMUNIST
TEXTBOOK ON PSYCHOPOLITICS
Introduction by Eric D. Butler
PSYCHOPOLITICS - "the art and science of
asserting and maintaining dominion over the thoughts and loyalties
of individuals, officers, bureaus, and masses, and the effecting
of the conquest of enemy nations through 'mental healing'."
"The Capitalist does not know the definition of war. He thinks of war
as attack with force performed by soldiers and machines. He does not
know that a more effective if somewhat longer war can be fought with
bread or, in our case, with drugs and the wisdom of our art. The Capitalist
has never won a war in truth. The psycho politician is having little
trouble winning this one." IntroductionIn publishing for the first
time in Australia a synthesis of the Communist textbook on psycho politics
- or, as it is generally termed, brain-washing - it is necessary to
stress the fact that failure to understand that the Communist conspiracy
is primarily concerned with a struggle for the minds and souls of men,
means that the individual is left defenceless against his enemies.
Upon reading the Communist's own material on brain-washing, many will
he horrified at the implications and ask is it possible for such organised
evil to be operating successfully in non-Communist countries. Unfortunately
organised evil has taken a very heavy toll without more than a few
realising fully what has been happening. The material on psycho politics
was first published in America last year by a Charles Stickley, who
said that he could not reveal the sources of his material without endangering
individuals who had assisted him. Early this year Kenneth Goff, former
American Communist, also issued the material in booklet form. His material
is exactly the same as Stickley's with the minor exception of a change
of several words in Beria's address. We are using Stickley's text.
A former American military intelligence officer has stated in a letter
to the League of Rights that although he has been unable to find a
copy of the original Communist textbook on brain-washing, there was "no
question that he (Goff) has read literature which he would not now
be able to get hold of. Furthermore, the internal evidence of the book
is most convincing to anyone thoroughly familiar with the Communist
machine, its techniques and objectives." There is no argument that
the techniques for brain-washing outlined in this material are being
applied in various forms throughout the whole world. That evil genius,
Lenin, made it very clear that he was most interested in the attack
upon the mind. Dr. Boris Sokoloff, M.D., who played an important role
in events leading up to the Bolshevik Revolution, reveals in his recently
published book, The White Nights, intimate conversations between
Lenin and Dr. Ivan Pavlov which laid the groundwork for the Soviet
experiment in trying to standardise human thought and behaviour. The
text-book on psycho politics mentions the importance of Pavlov's work.
In the Canadian Royal Commission's Report on Communism, the section
on The Development of Ideological Motivation deals brilliantly
with one aspect of brain-washing. The Report states that "The evidence
before us shows that in the great majority of cases the motivation
was inextricably linked with courses of psychological development."Former
American Senator Jack Tenney, a militant Christian patriot who directed
the official investigation of the Communist conspiracy in California,
with particular reference to Hollywood, and who is generally recognised
as one of the leading American authorities on all aspects of the Communist
conspiracy, stated at the end of his report on MindWashing in America: "Under
ordinary circumstances the efforts of a small, almost infinitesimal
fraction of society to brainwash the overwhelming majority of its citizens
or build insane asylums for them would be incredible and fantastically
funny. But these are not ordinary circumstances nor ordinary times.
We are in the age of Great Delusions - when black appears white, and
white appears black - when the sane are made to appear insane and the
insane act as the world's psychiatrists . . . " It is only necessary
to study the material on psycho politics closely, and to compare it
with developments in all Western societies today, in order to realise
that it deals with dreadful realities. For example, in recent years
there has been growing publicity, concerning "mental health" campaigns.
Former Communist Kenneth Goff in his statement on the authenticity
of the material on psycho politics makes reference to the Alaskan Mental
Health Bill. This American legislation produced such a storm of opposition
from Christian and patriotic groups, that a special Senate Sub-Committee
was established to investigate the matter. The legislation was subsequently
modified. During the hearings, it was pointed out that any citizen
could initiate action against another citizen or citizens and that "a
health or welfare worker may enter a home which heretofore the American
citizen has considered his castle, seize an individual on mere hearsay
evidence . . ."
(Statement by Major Robert Williams, former American Intelligence Officer)
. Evidence was also given showing how an individual might be sane when
taken into custody, but could be made mentally ill by the use of drugs
and then certified by medical doctors. A large number of experts agree
with the claim made in the Communists' textbook on psycho politics,
that insanity can be produced by the use of drugs. During the hearings
on the Alaskan Mental Health Bill the following report from The
Los Angeles Examiner of January 9, 1956, was read into the evidence: "Dr.
Nicholas A. Bercel, Beverly Hills psychiatrist, listed as a great advancement
the new method of inducing mental illness in a normal person by the
injection of lysergic acid diethylamide for the purpose of studying
the results." Such frightening developments indicate the urgent
necessity of strengthening the constitutional safeguards of the individual,
and of resisting all attempts, however subtle, to reduce them. Just
how far the Communists have developed the use of drugs and other techniques
of mind-control in Communist-dominated countries is hard to say. But
the famous trial of Cardinal Mindtzenty, for example, proves that they
can so effectively apply their methods of possessive control that they
can present their victims to the public without any fear of' revolt.
There is no doubt that the Communists have studied exhaustively every
possible method of attacking the mind. In an address on the B.B.C.
on November 11, 1953, Dr. Sargent indicated that the attack upon the
mind is the most serious problem threatening Western Civilization today.
Dr. Sargent's talk dealt with the subject of indoctrination, and he
outlined the developments of Pavlov's theories in the modern political
world. Pavlov is, of course, one of the founders of psycho politics.
In the course of his address Dr. Sargent said: "Now we in British
medicine are trying to learn all we can about these terrible and most
effective methods of changing men's thoughts and beliefs on a large
scale, because I believe ultimately the fate of the world will depend
on the conversion of the masses to one idea of life or another." And
this is what the Communists are primarily concerned about, "CHANGING
MEN'S THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS ON A LARGE SCALE." Unfortunately, a large
number of well-meaning people are being used to further the attack
upon the mind without realising the significance of what they are doing.
The undermining of Christian moral principles, the weakening of local
and national loyalties, and the persistent campaigning in favour of
world centralisation of power under the guise of creating some World
Utopia, are all part of the campaign so clearly outlined in this booklet.
In this Introduction it is impossible, of course, to do more than indicate
some of the sources of the general attack. But we must direct attention
to the use of UNO and some of its agencies to indicate the seriousness
of our present danger. While many idealists see in UNO the hope of
world peace, the Communists regard it as their most important platform
from which to direct propaganda against the peoples of the non-Communist
world. But it is in agencies like the World Health Organisation and
The United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organisation that
we find alarming evidence of the insidious attack upon the mind by
men who make it clear that they are determined to destroy Christian
Civilization. The writers of the textbook on psycho politics must warmly
applaud the following statement by Dr. Brock Chisholm, Director of
the World Health Organisation: "We have swallowed all manner of poisonous
certainties fed us by our parents, our Sunday and day school teachers And
how does Dr. Chisholm propose to rectify this: "Reinterpretation
and eventually eradication of the concept of right and wrong . . .
Most psychiatrists and psychologists have escaped from these moral
chains." Tens of millions of pounds of the taxpayers of the
non-Communist countries are being used by men like Dr. Chisholm to
work through various international organisations doing exactly what
the textbook on psycho politics advocates. Documented evidence is available
to prove this statement. But we repeat; the average individual is not
even aware of the war directed against his mind and his beliefs. The
daily press tells him little or nothing of such conferences as the
International Congress on Mental Health held in 1948. Dr. Chisholm
presided, and speaker after speaker spoke of the necessity of "mental
healing" to break down the ties of family, nation, and religion. Material
from Dr. Chisholm and his fellows, who have thrown off
"the concept of right and wrong", is finding its way into all those
institutions in which our young people's ideas are influenced. It is
openly stated that genuine patriots must be regarded as showing signs
of mental instability and in need of psychiatric treatment - again
just as the authors of this booklet advocate. The following comment
by that great British patriot and writer, Mr. A. K. Chesterton, in
his journal, Candour, of October 26, 1956, provides a further
sample of the menace of "mental healing": "The western half of the
projected World Police State seems to be preparing the way for silencing
its political opponents. Its method will be somewhat more subtle than
that employed by the murderers and enslavers of the Kremlin. I quote
from the letter of one of my most reliable Canadian correspondents: "The
Health Department is still at it, trying to make everybody mental-health
conscious, so that they will think nothing of being sent to a psychiatrist,
thence to an asylum. On television they keep showing pictures taken
through one-way glass, spying on patients without their knowing it.
In the end "patients", probably actors, tell how they benefited from
a course of treatment after describing their previous dreadful symptoms.
Also on TV a man called Katz of Maclean's magazine was interviewed
by some frightful man. He said that large quantities of some chemical
to be used in the "N" Test (to prove that patients are mentally ill)
have been sent to many countries. Toronto's share will be here soon."What
will this mean to the man in the street?" asked his interviewer. "It
means that the test will soon be routine and given to every patient
entering a hospital. Doctors in their private offices will also be
giving it." Then he added: "They are not going to wait until a man
stands on his head before giving the test. It is going to be given
to people who speak intelligently, and if they react positively a course
of treatment will be started at once."My correspondent's comment
cannot be improved upon. 'Well, that is one of the most terrible things
that I have ever heard, she declares and adds: The next thing was a
notice that our children ought to be treated as they may have schizophrenic
leanings. We do not wish it to be construed, as of course, unfortunately,
it will, that we believe that all psychiatrists and psychologists are
charlatans or secret Communists. But for years a small number of Christian
psychiatrists and psychologists have drawn attention, generally without
realising it, to the dangerous ideas being advanced by the majority
of their fellows. Some have even gone so far as to speak about "rackets".
For example, the famous brain surgeon of the University of Illinois,
Dr. Percival Barley, has openly stated that he is appalled at the after-effects
of lobotomy. It is significant that the textbook on psycho politics
stresses the "value" of brain operations and electric shock treatment.
Dr. Barley states that the great neuro-surgical revolution has proved
abortive. And he lists some of the frightful results - horrifying to
any Christian but satisfactory to those planning deliberately to produce
chaos. Dr. Barley also states that schizophrenia can be cured, not
by psychiatry, but by the bio-chemist. His view that most mental breakdowns
are basically a nutritional problem has been endorsed by no less an
authority than Dr. J. F. Cade, Psychiatrist Superintendent at the Royal
Park Receiving Home, Victoria, for many years. Anyone sufficiently
interested may read Dr. Cade's article on this subject in the Medical
Journal of Australia, July 28, 1956. Dr. Cade bluntly states that "psychological
and sociological explanations seem to have no factual basis" in relationship
to mental break. down. He points out how the lowest incidence of mental
instability is in certain areas where certain foods, mainly stone-fruits,
are consumed. The psycho politicians must, of course, reject this view
in order to further their campaign of "mental healing". Before leaving
this subject we submit one further piece of information which should
be considered in relationship to the material in this booklet. The
following extract from a joint statement of John Maurice, M.D:, and
Gerald E. Wilcox, Civil Engineer, before the American Senate Sub-Committee
on the Alaska Health Bill (previously mentioned in this Introduction),
speaks for itself: "Dr. Joseph Wortis is one of the most prominent
and influential of these propagandists. Dr. Wortis studied under Sigmund
Freud and introduced into the United States the dangerous and questionable
shock treatment. He practised psychiatry at Bellevue Hospital and with
the Veterans Administration."
"Dr. Wortis helped train a large number of young psychiatrists, has
lectured widely, and is widely read by members of the psychiatric profession.
Ten thousand copies of his book, Soviet Psychiatry, were circulated
in universities and among the medical profession. Evidence submitted
to the Senate Judiciary Committee indicates that the book contains
more Soviet propaganda than psychiatry.""Dr. Morris Mishchenko
testified that this book 'represents a collection of Soviet official
material permeated with the spirit of Communist militant philosophy...' "
When questioned by the committee about Communist Party affiliations,
Dr. Wortis hid behind the fifth amendment."Another fifth amendment
psychiatrist was one of the most influential men in the Pentagon during
World War II. Dr. Julius Schriber, the 1955 Chairman of the District
of Columbia Mental Health Association, was in 1944-45 chief of the
program section of the Army orientation program." The overwhelming
majority of psychiatrists in the U.S.A. are non-Christians. In their
attack upon the mind, the Communists have also attempted to destroy
the value of words as one of the media between the mind and reality.
Pavlov stressed the importance of words as a medium with reality. In
1896 the great French philosopher, Gustave Le Bon, produced his small
but most important book, The Crowd, in which he pointed out
how most revolutions are created by changing the meaning of words.
The Communists have made a science of the 'changing' of the weaning
of words with the result that they have created a confusion of ideas.
A large number of people repeat thoughtlessly carefully-thought-out
slogans without realising their true implications. One of the basic
features of the free enterprise economic system is the profit motive.
But the Communists have by persistent unscrupulous propaganda created
the general feeling, even amongst anti-Communists, that there is something
not quite right about the profit motive. What might be termed a large-scale
guilt complex has been successfully created. This booklet does not
deal specifically with the perversion of language, but everyone who
would play an effective role in resisting the attack upon the mind
should make himself familiar with this aspect of the attack. The evil
we are warning about has, of course, been dealt with by many others
who have studied the subject. We would specially recommend a study
of Charles Morgan's great book, Liberties of the Mind particularly
the first section. He quotes a psychiatrist friend who agrees that
it's now possible to take complete control of the mind: "
we
are all being conditioned to accept a limitation of freedom . . . I
fear that, unconsciously, even if we are ready to accept this new infection
which could not have harmed us before 1937. There is no such immunity
in the great mass of our people and no consciousness of danger . .
. One can think of many ways in which the population as a whole is
being conditioned or prepared for this mental change, this loss of
individuality and identity." Not only are the mind conditioners
using the techniques outlined in this booklet; they can now use what
has been termed the "threshold"
attack upon the human mind. For years experimental psychologists have
known that both sounds and sights not consciously heard or seen can
register on the subconscious part of the mind. It has already been
demonstrated that people can be watching a film screen without realising
that a certain slogan being regularly flashed on the screen at a speed
too fast for the conscious idea to perceive, is having an impact on
the subconscious mind. The slogan can only be seen if the film is shown
in slow motion. One firm in England recently increased its sales of
ice creams substantially in this manner. The same technique can be
used with sound. The frightening possibilities of the "threshold"
attack is therefore clear.
With modern centralised propaganda, it is now possible for the whole
community to be attacked without realising what is happening. There
is not the slightest doubt that every effort is being made to use this
technique extensively in the war for men's minds and souls. It is not
surprising, therefore, that the psycho politicians express the opinion
that the Communists can win their war without a major military conflict.
The attack on the mind must be met, and it is certain that the Christian
Churches must take a lead in meeting the attack if it is to be resisted
successfully. It is certain that the Secular his State cannot meet
the challenge. As was proved in the case of the Western prisoners of
war taken in Korea and brain-washed by their captors, it was only those
who had a strong faith in fundamental truths who came through their
terrible ordeal comparatively unscathed. Every Christian should study
carefully the implications of the material in this booklet and then
join actively with fellow Christian patriots in fighting the war for
men's minds.
Western Civilization must win this, war or go down to defeat.
ERIC D. BUTLER, Director, Victorian League of Rights, 1956. A FORMER
COMMUNIST WRITES ON PSYCHO POLITICS Mr. Kenneth Goff, former Communist
and now a well-known American anti-Communist crusader, has made the
following statement: "From May 2, 1936, to October, 1939, I was
a dues-paying member. of the Communist Party, operating under my own
name, Kenneth Goff, and also the alias, John Keats . . . During the
period I was a member of the Communist Party, I attended their school,
which was located at 113 E. Wells Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and
operated under the name, Eugene Debs Labor School. Here we were trained
in all phases of warfare, both psychological and physical, for the
destruction of the Capitalistic society and Christian civilization.
In one portion of our studies we went thoroughly into the matter of
psycho politics. "This was the art of capturing the minds of a nation
through brainwashing and fake mental health - the subjecting of whole
nations of people to the rule of the Kremlin by the capturing of their
minds. We were taught that the degradation of the populace is less
inhuman than their destruction by bombs . . . if a people can be conquered
in the absence of war the end of war will have been achieved without
the destruction of war."During the past few years I have noted
with horror the increase of psychological warfare upon the American
public. First in the brainwashing of our boys in Korea, and then in
the well-financed drive of mental health propaganda by left-wing pressure
groups, wherein many of our States have passed Bills which can well
be used by the enemies of America to subject to torture and imprisonment
those who preach the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and
who oppose the menace of Communism . . . This book was used in underground
schools . . . the text in general is from the Communist Manual of
Instruction of Psycho logical Warfare and was used in America for
the training of Communist cadre." Mr. Goff also states that the last
chapter of the material on psycho politics is supplementary to the
main course and was obviously added in recent years after the first
demonstration of atomic power as an instrument of military warfare. INTRODUCTORY
ADDRESS ON PSYCHOPOLITICS BY BERA American students at the Lenin
University, I welcome your attendance at these classes on Psycho politics.
Psycho politics is an important if less known division of Geo-politics.
It is less known because it must necessarily deal with highly educated
personnel, the very top strata of "mental healing", by psycho politics
our chief goals are effectively carried forward. To produce a maximum
of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step.
Our fruits are grown in chaos, distrust, economic depression and scientific
turmoil. At least a weary populace can seek peace only in our offered
Communist state, at last only Communism can resolve the problems of
the masses. A psycho politician must work hard to produce the maximum
chaos in the fields of "mental healing". He must recruit and use all
the agencies and facilities of "mental healing". He must labor to increase
the personnel and facilities of
"mental healing" until at last the entire field of mental science is
entirely dominated by Communist principles and desires. To achieve
these goals the psycho politician must crush every "home grown" variety
of mental healing in America. Actual teachings of Freud, James, Eddy
and others amongst your misguided peoples must be swept away. They
must be discredited, defamed, arrested, stamped upon even by their
own government until there is no credit in them and only Communist-oriented "healing" remains.
You must work until every teacher of psychology unknowingly or knowingly
teaches only Communist doctrine under the guise of "psychology". You
must labor until every doctor and psychiatrist is either a psycho politician
or an unwitting assistant to our aims. You must labor until we have
dominion over the minds and bodies of every important person in your
nation. You must achieve such disrepute for the state of insanity and
such authority over its pronouncement that not one statesman so labeled
could again be given credence by his people.
You must" work until suicide arising from mental imbalance is common
and calls forth no general investigation remark. WITH THE INSTITUTIONS
FOR THE INSANE YOU HAVE IN YOUR COUNTRY PRISONS WHICH can hold a million
persons and can hold them without civil rights or any hope of freedom.
And upon these people can be practised shock and surgery so that never
again will they draw a sane breath. You must make these treatments
COMMON AND ACCEPTED. And you must sweep aside any treatment or any
group of persons seeking to treat by effective means. You must dominate,as
respected men, the fields of psychiatry and psychology. You must dominate
the hospitals and universities. You must carry forward THE MYTH that
only a EUROPEAN DOCTOR IS COMPETENT in the field of insanity and thus
excuse amongst you the HIGH INCIDENCE OF FOREIGN BIRTH AND TRAINING
and when we seize Vienna, you shall have then a common ground of meeting
and can come and take your instructions as worshippers of Freud along
with other psychiatrists.Psycho politics is a solemn charge. With it
you can erase our enemies as insects. You can cripple the efficiency
of leaders by striking insanity into their families through the USE
OF DRUGS. You can wipe them away with testimony as to their insanity.
By our technologies you can even bring about insanity itself when they
seem too resistive. You can change their loyalties by psycho politics.
Given a short time with a psycho politician you can alter FOREVER the
loyalty of a soldier in our hands OR A STATESMAN or a leader in his
own country, or you can DESTROY HIS MIND. However, you labor under
certain dangers. It may happen that remedies for our "treatments" may
be discovered. It may occur that a public hue and cry may arise against "mental
healing". It may thus occur that all mental healing might be placed
in the hands of ministers and be taken out of the hands of our psychologists
and psychiatrists. But the Capitalistic thirst for control, Capitalistic
inhumanity and a general public terror of insanity can be brought to
guard against these things. But should they occur, should independent
researchers actually discover means to undo psycho political procedures,
you must not rest, you must not EAT OR. SLEEP, you must not stint ONE
TINIEST BIT OF AVAILABLE MONEY to campaign against it, discredit it,
strike it down and render it void. For by an effective means all our
actions and researches could be undone. In a Capitalistic state
you are aided on all sides by the corruption of the philosophy of man
and the times. You will discover that everything will aid you in your
campaign to seize, control and use all "mental healing" to spread our
doctrine and rid us of our enemies within their own borders. Use
the COURTS, USE THE JUDGES, USE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COUNTRY, USE
ITS MEDICAL SOCIETIES and its laws to further our ends. Do not stint
in your labor in this direction. And when you have succeeded you will
discover that you can now effect your OWN LEGISLATION AT WILL and you
can, by careful organization of healing societies, by constant campaign
about the terrors of society, by pretence as to your effectiveness
make your Capitalist himself, BY HIS OWN APPROPRIATIONS, FINANCE A
LARGE PORTION OF THE QUIET CONQUEST OF THE NATION. By psycho politics
create chaos, leave a nation LEADERLESS, kill our enemies and bring
to earth, through communism, the greatest peace man has ever known.
Thank you. CHAPTER I THE HISTORY AND DEFINITION
OF PSYCHOPOLITICS Although punishment for its own sake may not
be entirely without recompense, it is, nevertheless, true that the
end and goal of all punishment is the indoctrination of person being
punished with an idea, whether that idea be one of restraint or obedience.
In that any ruler has, from time beyond memory, needed the obedience
of his subjects in order to accomplish his ends, he has thus resorted
to punishment. This is true of every tribe and state in the history
of Man. Today, Russian culture has evolved more certain and definite
methods of aligning and securing the loyalties of persons and populaces,
and of enforcing obedience upon them. This modern outgrowth of the
old practice is called Psycho politics. The stupidity and narrowness
of nations not blessed with Russian reasoning has caused them to rely
upon practices which are, today, too ancient and outmoded for the rapid
and heroic pace of our time. And in view of the tremendous advance
of Russian culture in the field of mental technologies, begun with
the glorious work of Pavlov, and carried forward so ably by later Russians,
it would be strange that an art and science would not evolve totally
devoted to the aligning of loyalties and extracting the obedience of
individuals and multitudes. Thus we see that psycho political procedures
are a natural outgrowth of practices as old as Man, practices which
are current in every group of men throughout the world. Thus, in psycho
political procedures there is no ethical problem, since it is obvious
and evident that Man is always coerced against his will to the greater
good of the State, whether by his economic gains or indoctrination
into the wishes and desires of the State. Basically, Man is an animal.
He is an animal which has been given a civilized veneer. Man is a collective
animal, grouped together for his own protection before the threat of
the environment. Those who so group and control him must then have
in their possession specialized techniques to direct the vagaries and
energies of the animal Man toward greater efficiency in the accomplishment
of the goals of the State. Psycho politics, in one form or another,
have long been used in Russia, but the subject is all but unknown outside
the borders of our nation, save only where we have carefully transplanted
our information and where it is used for the greater good of the nation. The
definition of Psycho politics follows.
Psycho politics is the art and science of asserting and maintaining
dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals, officers,
bureaus, and masses, and the effecting of the conquest of enemy nations
through "mental healing". The subject of psycho politics breaks down
into several categories, each a natural and logical proceeding from
the last.
Its first subject is the constitution and anatomy of Man himself, as
a political organism.
The next is an examination of Man as an economic organism, as this
might be controlled by his desires.
The next is classification of State goals for the individual and masses.
The next is an examination of loyalties.
The next is the general subject of obedience.
The next is the anatomy of the stimulus-response mechanisms of Man.
The next is the subjects of shock and endurance.
The next is the organization and use of counter-Psycho politics.
The next is the use of Psycho politics in the conquest of foreign nations.
The next is psycho political organizations outside Russia, their composition
and activity.
The next is the creation of slave philosophy in a hostile nation.
The next is countering anti-psycho political rule in a scientific age.
To this might be added many subcategories, such as the nullification
of modern weapons by psycho political activity. The strength and power
of Psycho politics cannot be over-estimated, particularly when used
in a nation decayed by pseudo-intellectualism, where exploitation of
the masses combines readily with psycho political actions, and particularly
where the greed of Capitalistic or Monarchial regimes has already brought
about an overwhelming incidence of neurosis which can be employed as
the groundwork for psycho political action and a psycho political corps.
It is part of your mission, student, to prevent psycho political activity
to the detriment of the Russian State, just as it is your mission to
carry forward in our nation and outside it, if you are so assigned,
the missions and goals of Psycho politics. No agent of Russia could
be even remotely effective without a thorough grounding in Psycho politics.
and so you carry forward with you a Russian trust to use well what
you are learning his here. CHAPTER
II THE CONSTITUTION OF MAN AS A POLITICAL ORGANISM Man is already
a colonial aggregation of cells, and to consider him an individual
would be an error. Colonies of cells have gathered together as one
organ or another of the body, and then these organs have, themselves,
gathered together to form the whole. Thus we see that man, himself,
is already a political organism, even if we do not consider a mass
of men. Sickness could be considered to be a disloyalty to the remaining
organisms on the part of one organism. This disloyalty, becoming apparent,
brings about a revolt of some part of the anatomy against the remaining
whole, and thus we have, in effect, an internal revolution. The heart,
becoming disaffected, falls away from close membership and service
to the remainder of the organism, and we discover the entire body in
all of its activities is disrupted because of the revolutionary activity
of the heart. The heart is in revolt because it cannot or will not
co-operate with the remainder of the body. If we permit the heart thus
to revolt, the kidneys, taking the example of the heart, may in their
turn rebel and cease to work for the good of the organism. This rebellion,
multiplying to other organs and the glandular system, brings about
the death of the "individual".
We can see with ease that the revolt is death, that the revolt of
any part of the organism results in death. Thus we see that there
can be no compromise with rebellion.Like the "individual" man, the
State is a collection of aggregations. The political entities within
the State must, all of them, co-operate for the greater good of the
State lest the State itself fall asunder and die, for with the disaffection
of any single distrust we discover, at length, the entire State falling.
This is the danger of revolution. Look at Earth. We see here one
entire organism. The organism of Earth is an individual organism.
Earth has as its organs the various races and nations of men. Where
one of these is permitted to remain disaffected, Earth itself is
threatened with death. The threatened rebellion of one country, no
matter how small, against the total organism of Earth, would find
Earth sick, and the cultural state of man to suffer in consequence.
Thus, the putrescent illness of Capitalist States, spreading their
pus and bacteria into the healthy countries of the world would not
do otherwise than bring about the death of Earth, unless these ill
organisms are brought into loyalty and obedience and made to function
for the greater good of the world-Wide State. The constitution of
Man is so composed that the individual cannot function efficiently
without the alignment of each and every part and organ of his anatomy.
As the average individual is incapable, in an unformed and uncultured
state, as witness the barbarians of the jungle, so must he be trained
into a co-ordination of his organic functions by exercise, education,
and work. He must be made to realize this, for only then can he be
made to function efficiently in the role assigned to him. The tenets
of rugged individualism, personal determinism, self-will, imagination,
and personal creativeness are alike in the masses antipathetic to
the good of the Greater State. These willful and unaligned forces
are no more than illnesses which will bring about disaffection, disunity,
and at length the collapse of the group to which the individual is
attached. The constitution of Man lends itself easily and thoroughly
to certain and positive regulation from without of all of its functions,
including those of thinkingness, obedience, and loyalty, and these
things must be controlled if a greater State is to ensue. While it
may seem desirable to the surgeon to amputate one or another limb
or organ in order to save the remainder, it must be pointed out that
this expediency is not entirely possible of accomplishment where
one considers entire nations. A body deprived of organs can be observed
to be lessened in its effectiveness. The world deprived of the workers
now enslaved by the insane and nonsensical idiocies of the Capitalists
and Monarchs of Earth, would if removed, create a certain disability
in the world-wide State. Just as we see the victor forced to rehabilitate
the population of a conquered country at the end of a war, thus any
effort to DEPOPULATE a disaffected portion of the world might have
some consequence.
However, let us consider the inroad of virus and bacteria hostile
to the organism, and we see that unless we can conquer the germ,
the organ or organism which it is attacking will, itself, suffer.
In any State we have certain individuals who operate in the role
of the virus and germ, and these, attacking the population or any
group within the population, produce, by their self-willed greed,
a sickness in the organ, which then generally spreads to the whole.
The constitution of Man as an individual body, or the constitution
of a State or a portion of the State as a political organism are
analogous. It is the mission of Psycho politics first to align the
obedience and goals of the group, and then maintain their alignment
by the eradication of the effectiveness of the persons and personalities
which might swerve the group toward disaffection. In our nation,
where things are better managed and where reason reigns above all
else, it is not difficult to eradicate the self-willed bacteria which
might attack one of our political entities. But in the field of conquest,
in nations less enlightened, where the Russian State does not yet
have power, it is not as feasible to remove the entire self-willed
individual. Psycho politics makes it possible to remove that part
of his personality which, in itself, is making havoc with the person's
own constitution as well as the group with which the person is connected.
If the animal man were permitted to continue undisturbed by counter-revolutionary
propaganda, if he were left to work under the well-planned management
of the State, we would discover little sickness amongst Man, and
we would discover no sickness in the State. But where the individual
is troubled by conflicting propaganda, where he is made the effect
of revolutionary activities, where he is permitted to think thoughts
critical of the State itself, where he is permitted to question of
those in whose natural charge he falls, we would discover his constitution
to suffer. We would discover, from this disaffection, the additional
disaffection of his heart and of other portions of his anatomy. So
certain is this principle that when one finds a sick individual,
could one search deeply enough, he would discover a misaligned loyalty
and an interrupted obedience to that person's group unit. There are
those who foolishly have embarked upon some spiritual Alice-in-Wonderland
voyage into what they call the "subconscious" or the "unconscious"
mind, and who, under the guise of "psychotherapy" would seek to make
well the disaffection of body organs, but it is to be noted that
their results are singularly lacking in success. There is no strength
in such an approach. When hypnotism was first invented in Russia
it was observed that all that was necessary was to command the unresisting
individual to be well in order, many times, to accomplish that fact.
The limitation of hypnotism has had to be improved upon in order
to increase the suggestibility of individuals who would not otherwise
be reached. Thus, any nation has had the experience of growing well
again, as a whole organism, when placing sufficient force in play
against a disaffected group. Just as in hypnotism any organ can be
commanded into greater loyalty and obedience, so can any political
group be commanded into greater loyalty and obedience should sufficient
force be employed. However, force often brings about destruction
and it is occasionally not feasible to use broad mass force to accomplish
the ends in view. Thus, it is necessary to align the individual against
his desire not to conform.Just as it is a recognized truth that Man
must conform to his environment, so it is a recognized truth, and
will become more so as the years proceed, that even the body of Man
can be commanded into health. The constitution of Man renders itself
peculiarly adapted to re-alignment of loyalties. Where these loyalties
to the 'petit bourgeoisie', the Capitalist, to anti-Russian ideas,
we find the individual body peculiarly susceptible to sickness, and
thus we can clearly understand the epidemics, illnesses, mass-neuroses,
tumults, and confusions of the United States and other Capitalist
countries. Here we find the worker improperly and-incorrectly loyal,
and thus we find the worker ill. To save him and establish him correctly
and properly upon his goal toward a greater State, it is an overpowering
necessity to make it possible for him to grant his loyalties in a
correct direction. In that his loyalties are swerved and his obedience
cravenly demanded by persons anti-pathetic to his general good, and
in that these persons are few, even in a Capitalist nation, the goal
and direction of Psycho politics is clearly understood. To benefit
the worker in such a plight, it is necessary to eradicate, by general
propaganda, by other means, and by his own co-operation, the self-willedness
of perverted leaders. It is necessary, as well, to indoctrinate the
educated strata into the tenets and principles of co-operation with
the environment, and thus to insure to the worker less-warped leadership,
less craven doctrine, and more co-operation with the ideas and ideals
of the Communist State.
The technologies of Psycho politics are directed to this end. CHAPTER
III MAN AS AN ECONOMIC ORGANISM Man is subject to certain desires
and needs which are as natural to his beingness as they are to that
of any other animal. Man, however, has the peculiarity of exaggerating
some of these beyond the bounds of reason. This is obvious through
the growth of leisure classes, pseudo-intellectual groups, the 'petit
bourgeoisie', Capitalism, and other ills. It has been said, with
truth, that one tenth of a man's life is concerned with politics
and nine-tenths with economics. Without food, the individual dies.
Without clothing, he freezes. Without houses and weapons, he is prey
to the starving wolves. The acquisition of sufficient items to answer
those necessities of food, clothing, and shelter, in reason, is the
natural right of a member of an enlightened State. An excess of such
items brings about unrest and disquiet. The presence of luxury items
and materials and the artificial creation and whetting of appetites,
as in Capitalist advertising, are certain to accentuate the less-desirable
characteristics of Man. The individual is an economic organism, in
that he requires a certain amount of food, a certain amount of water,
and must hold within himself a certain amount of heat in order to
live. When he has more food than he can eat, more clothing than he
needs to protect himself, he then enters upon a certain idleness
which dulls his wits and awareness, and makes him prey to difficulties
which, in a less toxic state, he would have foreseen and avoided.
Thus, we have a glut being a menace to the individual. It is no less
different in a group. Where the group acquires, too much, its awareness
of its own fellows and of the environment is accordingly reduced,
and the effectiveness of the group in general is lost. The maintaining
of a balance between gluttony and need is the province Economics
proper, and is the fit subject and concern of the Communist State.
Desire and want are a state of mind. Individuals can be educated
into desiring and wanting more than they can ever possibly obtain,
and such individuals are unhappy. Most of the self-willed characteristics
of the Capitalists come entirely from greed. He exploits the worker
far beyond any necessity on his own part, as a Capitalist, to need.
In a nation where economic balances are not controlled, the appetite
of the individual is unduly whetted by enchanting and fanciful persuasions
to desire, and a type of insanity ensues, where each individual is
persuaded to possess more than he can use, and to possess it even
at the expense of his fellows. The great and too long privation can
bring about unhealthy desires, which, in themselves accumulate if
left alone, more than the individual can use. Poverty, itself, as
carefully cultivated in Capitalist States, can bring about an imbalance
of acquisition. Just as a vacuum will pull into it masses, in a country
where enforced privation upon the masses is permitted, and where
desire is artificially whetted, need turns to greed, and one easily
discovers in such states exploitation of the many for the benefit
of the few. If one, by the technologies of Psycho politics, were
to dull this excessive greed in the few who possess it, the worker
would be freed to seek a more natural balance. Here we have two extremes.
Either one of them is an insanity. If we wish to create an insanity
we need only glut or deprive an individual at long length beyond
the ability to withstand and we have a mental imbalance. A simple
example of this is the alternation of too low with too high pressures
in a chamber, an excellent psycho political procedure. The rapidly
varied pressure brings about a chaos wherein the individual will
cannot act and where other wills then, perforce, assume control.
Essentially, in an entire country, one must remove the greedy by
whatever means and must then create and continue a semi-privation
in the masses in order to command and utterly control the nation.
A continuous hope for prosperity must be indoctrinated into the masses
with many dreams and visions of glut of commodity and this hope must
be counter played against the actuality of privation and the continuous
threat of loss of all economic factors in case of disloyalty to the
State in order to suppress the individual wills of the masses. In
a nation under conquest such as America, our slow and stealthy approach
need take advantage only of the cycles of booms and depressions inherent
in Capitalistic nations in order to assert of more and more strong
control over individual wills. A boom is as advantageous as a depression
for our ends for during prosperity our propaganda lines must only
continue to point up the wealth the period is delivering to the selected
few to divorce their control of the state. During a depression one
must only point out that it ensued as a result of the avarice of
a few and the general political incompetence of the national leaders. The
handling of economic propaganda is not properly the sphere of psycho
politics but the psycho politician must understand economic measures
and Communist goals connected with them. The masses must at last
come to believe that only excessive taxation of the rich can relieve
them of the "burdensome leisure class" and can thus be brought to
accept such a thing as INCOME TAX, a Marxist principle smoothly slid
into Capitalistic framework in 1909 in the United States.
This even though the basic law of the United States forbade it and
even though Communism at that time had been active only a few years
in America. Such success as the Income Tax law, had it been followed
thoroughly, could have brought the United States not Russia into
the world scene as the first Communist nation. But the virility and
good sense of the Russian peoples won. It may not be that the United
States will become entirely Communist until past the middle of the
century, but when it does it will be because of our superior understanding
of economics and of psycho politics. The Communist agent skilled
in economics has as his task the suborning of tax agencies and their
personnel to create the maximum disturbance and chaos and the passing
of laws adapted to our purposes and to him we must leave this task.
The psycho political operator plays a distinctly different role in
this drama. The rich, the skilled in finance, the well informed in
government, are particular and individual targets for the psycho
politician. His is the role of taking off the board those individuals
who would halt or corrupt Communist economic programs. Thus every
rich man, every statesman, every person well informed and capable
in government must have brought to his side as a trusted confidant
a psycho political operator.The families of these persons are often
deranged from idleness and glut and this fact must be played upon,
even created. The normal health and wildness of a rich man's son
must be twisted and perverted and explained into neurosis and then,
assisted by a timely administration of drugs or violence, turned
into criminality or insanity. This brings at once someone in "mental
healing" into confidential contact with the family and from this
point on the very most must be made of that contact. Communism could
best succeed if at the side of every rich or influential man there
could be placed a psycho political operator, an undoubted authority
in the field of "mental healing" who could then by his advice or
through the medium of a wife or daughter by his guided opinions direct
the optimum policy to embroil or upset the economic policies of the
country and, when the time comes to do away forever with the rich
or influential man, to administer the proper drug or treatment to
bring about his complete demise in an institution as a patient or
dead as a suicide.
Planted beside a country's powerful persons the psycho political
operator can also guide other policies to the betterment of our battle.
The Capitalist does not know the definition of war. He thinks of
war as attack with force performed by soldiers and machines. He does
not know that a more effective if somewhat longer war can be fought
with BREAD or, in our case, WITH DRUGS and the wisdom of our art.
The Capitalist has never won a war in truth.
The psycho politician is having little trouble winning this one. CHAPTER
IV STATE GOALS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL AND MASSES Just as we would
discover an individual to be ill, whose organs, each one, had a different
goal from the rest, so we discover the individuals and the State
to be ill where goals are not rigorously codified and enforced. There
are those who, in less enlightened times, gave Man to believe that
goals should be personally sought and held, and that, indeed, Man's
entire impulse toward higher things stemmed from Freedom. We must
remember that the same peoples who embraced this philosophy also
continued in Man the myth of spiritual existence. All goals proceed
from duress. Life is a continuous escape. Without force and threat
there can be no striving. Without pain there can be no desire to
escape from pain. Without the threat of punishment there can be no
gain. Without rigorous and forthright control, there can be no accomplished
goals for the State. Goals of the State should be formulated by the
State for the obedience and concurrence of the individuals within
that State. A State without goals so formulated is a sick State.
A State without the power and forthright wish to enforce its goals
is a sick State. When an order is issued by the Communist State,
and is not obeyed, a sickness will be discovered to ensue. Where
obedience fails, the masses suffer. State goals depend upon loyalty
and obedience for their accomplishment. When one discovers a State
goal to be interpreted, one discovers inevitably that there has been
an interposition of self-willedness, of greed, of idleness, or of
rugged individualism and self-centred initiative. The interruption
of a State goal will be discovered as having been interrupted by
a person whose disloyalty and disobedience is the direct result of
his own mis-alignment with life. It is not always necessary to remove
the individual. It is possible to remove his self-willed tendencies
to the improvement of the goals and gains of the whole. The technologies
of Psycho politics are graduated upon the scale which starts somewhat
above the removal of the individual himself, upward toward the removal
only of those tendencies which bring about his lack of co-operation.
It is not enough for the State to have goals. These goals, once put
forward, depend for their completion upon the loyalty and obedience
of the workers. These engaged for the most part in hard labours,
have little time for idle speculation, which is good. But, above
them, unfortunately, there must be foremen of one or another position,
any one of whom might have sufficient idleness and lack of physical
occupation to cause some disaffecting independency in his conduct
and behaviour. Psycho politics remedies this tendency toward disaffection
when it exceeds the common persuasions of the immediate superiors
of the person in question. CHAPTER V AN EXAMINATION
OF LOYALTIES If loyalty is so important in the economic and social
structure, it is necessary to examine it further as itself. In the
field of psycho politics, loyalty means simply alignment. It means,
more fully, alignment with the goals of the Communist State. Disloyalty
means entirely mis-alignment, and more broadly, mis-alignment with
the goals of the Communist State. When we consider that the goals
of the Communist State are to the best possible benefit of the masses,
we can see that disloyalty, as a term, can embrace Democratic alignment.
Loyalty to persons not communistically indoctrinated would be quite
plainly a mis-alignment. The cure of disloyalty is entirely contained
in the principles of alignment. All that it is necessary to do, where
disloyalty is encountered, is to align the purposes of the individual
toward the goals of Communism, and it will be discovered that a great
many circumstances hitherto distasteful in existence will cease to
exist. A heart, or a kidney in rebellion against the remainder of
the organism is being disloyal to the remainder of the organism.
To cure that heart or kidney it is actually only necessary to bring
its activities into alignment with the remainder of the body. The
technologies of Psycho politics adequately demonstrate the workability
of this. Mild shock of the electric variety can, and does, produce
the re-co-operation of a rebellious body organ. It is the shock and
punishment of surgery which, in the main, accomplishes the re-alignment
of a disaffected portion of the body, rather than the surgery itself.
It is the bombardment of X-rays, rather than the therapeutic value
of X-rays which causes some disaffected organ to once again turn
its attention to the support of the general organism. While it is
not borne out that electric shock has any therapeutic value, so far
as making the individual more sane, it is adequately brought out
that its PUNISHMENT VALUE will create in the patient a greater co-operative
attitude.
Brain surgery has no statistical data to recommend it beyond its
removal of the individual personality from amongst the paths of organs,
which were not permitted to co-operate. These two Russian developments
have never pretended to alter the state of sanity. They are only
effective and workable in introducing an adequate punishment mechanism
to the personality to make it cease and desist from its courses and
egotistical direction of the anatomy itself. It is useful in subduing
the recalcitrant personality, which is all that stands in the road
of the masses or the State. It is occasionally to be discovered that
the removal of the preventing personality by shock and surgery then
permits the regrowth and re-establishment of organs which have been
rebelled against by that personality. In that a well-regulated state
is composed of organisms, not personalities, the use of electric
shock and brain surgery in psycho politics is clearly demonstrated.
The changing of loyalty consists, in its primary step, of the eradication
of existing loyalties. This can be done in one of two ways. First,
by demonstrating that previously existing loyalties have brought
about perilous physical circumstances, such as imprisonment, lack
of recognition, duress, of privation, and second, by eradicating
the personality itself. The first is accomplished by a steady and
continuous indoctrination of the individual in the belief that previous
loyalties have been granted to an unworthy source. One of the primary
instances in this is creating circumstances, which apparently derive
from the target of loyalties, so as to rebuff the individual. As
part of this there is the creation of a state of mind in the individual,
by actually placing him under duress, and then furnishing him with
false evidence to demonstrate that the target of his previous loyalties
is, itself, the cause of the duress. Another portion of this same
method consists of defaming or degrading the individual whose loyalties
are to be changed to the target of his loyalties, i.e., superiors
or government, to such a degree that this target, at length, actually
does hold the individual in disrepute, and so does rebuff him and
serve to convince him that his loyalties have been misplaced. These
are the milder methods, but have proven extremely effective. The
greatest drawback in their practice is that they require time and
concentration, the manufacture of false evidence, and a psycho political
operator's time. In moments of expediency, of which there are many,
the personality itself can be re-arranged by shock, surgery, duress,
privation, and in particular, that best of psycho political techniques,
implantation, with the technologies of neo-hypnotism. Such duress
must have in its first part a defamation of the loyalties, and in
its second, the implantation of new loyalties. A good and experienced
psycho political operator, working under the most favourable circumstances,
can, by the use of psycho political technologies, alter the loyalties
of an individual so deftly that his OWN COMPANIONS will not suspect
that they have changed. This, however, requires considerably more
finesse than is usually necessary to the situation. MASS NEO-HYPNOTISM
can accomplish more or less the same results when guided by an experienced
psycho political operator. An end goal in such a procedure would
be the alteration of the loyalties of an ENTIRE NATION in a short
period of time by mass neo-hypnotism, a thing which has been effectively
ACCOMPLISHED among the LESS-USABLE states of Russia. It is adequately
demonstrated that loyalty is entirely lacking in that mythical commodity
known as "spiritual quality". Loyalty is entirely a thing of dependence,
economic or mental, and can be changed by the crudest implantations.
Observation of workers in their factories or fields demonstrates
that they easily grant loyalty to a foreman or a woman, and then
as easily abandon it and substitute another individual, revulsing,
at the same time, toward the person to whom loyalty was primarily
granted. The queasy insecurity of the masses in Capitalistic nations
finds this more common than in an enlightened State such as Russia.
In Capitalistic states, dependencies are so craven, wants and privations
are so exaggerated, that loyalty is entirely without ethical foundation
and exists only in the realm of dependency, duress, or demand. It
is fortunate that Communism so truly approaches an ideal state of
mind, for this brings a certain easiness into any changing of loyalties,
since all other philosophies extant and practised on Earth today
are degrading and debased, compared to Communism. It is then with
a certain security that a psycho political operator functions, for
he knows that he can change the loyalty of an individual to a more
ideal level by reason alone, and only expediency makes it necessary
to employ the various shifts of psycho political technology. Any
man who cannot be persuaded into Communist rationale is, of course,
to be regarded as somewhat less than sane and it is, therefore, completely
justified to use the techniques of insanity upon the non-Communist.
In order to change loyalty it is necessary to establish first the
existing loyalties of the individual. The task is made very simple
in view of the fact that Capitalistic and Fascistic nations have
no great security in the loyalty of their subjects. And it may be
found that the loyalties of the subjects, as we call any person against
whom psycho political technology is to be exerted, are already too
faint to require eradication. It is generally only necessary to persuade
with the rationale and overwhelming reasonability of Communism to
have the person grant his loyalty to the Russian State. However,
regulated only by the importance of the subject, no great amount
of time should be expended upon the individual, but emotional duress,
or electric shock, or brain surgery should be resorted to, should
Communist propaganda persuasion fail. In a case of a very important
person, it may be necessary to utilize the more delicate technologies
of Psycho politics so as to place the person himself, and his associates,
in ignorance of the operation. In this case a simple implantation
is used, with a maximum duress and command value. Only the most skilled
psycho political operator should be employed on such a project, as
in the case of the very important person, for a bungling might disclose
the tampering with his mental processes. It is much more highly recommended,
if there is any doubt whatever about the success of an operation
against an important person, to select out as a psycho political
target persons in his vicinity in whom he is emotionally involved.
His wife or children normally furnish the best targets, and these
can be operated against without restraint. In securing the loyalty
of a very important person one must place at his side a constant
pleader who enters a sexual or familial chord into the situation
on the side of Communism. It may not be necessary to make a Communist
out of the wife, or the children, or one of the children, but it
might prove efficacious to do so. In most instances, however, this
is not possible. By the use of various drugs, it is, in this modern
age, and well within the realm of psycho political reality, entirely
too easy to bring about a state of severe neurosis or insanity in
the wife or children, and thus pass them, with full consent of the
important person, and the government in which he exists, or the bureau
in which he is operating, into the hands of a psycho political operator,
who then in his own laboratory, without restraint or fear of investigation
or censor, can, WITH ELECTRIC SHOCK, surgery, SEXUAL ATTACK, drugs,
or other useful means, degrade or entirely alter the personality
of a family member, and create in that person a psycho political
slave subject, who, then, on command or signal, will perform OUTRAGEOUS
ACTIONS, thus discrediting the important person, or will demand,
on a more delicate level, that certain measures be taken by the important
person, which measures are, of course, dictated by the psycho political
operator. Usually when the party has no real interest in the activities
or decisions of the important person, but merely wishes to remove
him from effective action, the attention of the psycho political
operator need not be so intense, and the person need only be passed
into the hands of some unwitting mental practitioner, who taught
as he is by psycho political operators, will bring about sufficient
embarrassment. When the loyalty of an individual cannot be swerved,
and where the opinion, weight, or effectiveness of the individual
stands firmly in the road of Communist goals, it is usually best
to occasion a mild neurosis in the person by any available means,
and then, having carefully given him a history of mental imbalance,
to see to it that he disposes of himself by suicide.
Psycho political operators have handled such situations skillfully
tens of thousands of times and without Russia. It is a firm principle
of Psycho politics that the person to be destroyed must be involved
at first or second hand in the stigma of insanity, and must have
been placed in contact with psycho political operators or persons
trained by them, with a maximum amount of tumult and publicity. The
stigma of insanity is properly placed at the door of such persons
reputations and is held there firmly by bringing about irrational
acts, either on his own part or in his vicinity. Such an activity
can be classified as a partial destruction of alignment, and if this
destruction is carried forward to its furtherest extent the mis-alignment
on new loyalties can be embarked upon safely. By bringing about insanity
or suicide on the part of the wife of an important political personage,
a sufficient mis-alignment has been instigated to change his attitude.
And this, carried forward firmly, or assisted by psycho political
implantation can begin the rebuilding of his loyalties, but now slanted
in a more proper and fitting direction. Another reason for the alignment
of psycho political activities with the mis-alignment of insanity
is that insanity, itself, is a despised and disgraced state, and
anything connected with it is lightly viewed. Thus, a psycho political
operator, working in the vicinity of an insane person, can refute
and disprove any accusations made against him by demonstrating that
the family itself is tainted with mental imbalance. This is surprisingly
effective in Capitalistic countries where insanity is so thoroughly
feared that no one would dream of investigating any circumstances
in its vicinity. Psycho political propaganda works constantly and
must work constantly to increase and build up this aura of mystery
surrounding insanity, and must emphasize the horribleness and hopelessness
of insanity in order to excuse non-therapeutic actions taken against
the insane. Particularly in Capitalistic countries, an insane person
has no rights under law. No person who is insane may hold property.
No person who is insane may testify. Thus, we have an excellent road
along which we can travel toward our certain goal and destiny. Entirely
by bringing about public conviction that the sanity of a person is
in question, it is possible to discount and eradicate all of the
goals and activities of that person. By demonstrating the insanity
of a group, or even a government, it is possible, then, to cause
its people to disavow it. By magnifying the general human reaction
to insanity, through keeping the subject of insanity, itself, forever
before the public eye, and then, by utilizing this reaction by causing
a revulsion on the part of a populace against its leader or leaders,
it is possible to stop any government or movement. It is important
to know that the entire subject of loyalty is thus as easily handled
as it is. One of the first and foremost missions of the psycho politician
is to make an attack upon Communism and insanity synonymous. It should
become the definition of insanity, of the paranoid variety, that "a
paranoid believes he is being attacked by Communists". Thus, at once,
the support of the individual so attacking Communism will fall away
and wither. Instead of executing national leaders, suicide for them
should be arranged under circumstances which question their demise.
In this way we can select out all opposition to the Communist extension
into the social orders of the world, and render populaces who would
oppose us leaderless, and bring about a state of chaos or misalignment
into which we can thrust, with great simplicity, the clear and forceful
doctrines of Communism. The cleverness of our attack in this field
of Psycho politics is adequate to avoid the understanding of the
layman and the usual stupid official, and by operating entirely under
the banner of authority, with the oft-repeated statement that the
principles of psychotherapy are too devious for common understanding,
an entire revolution can he effected without the suspicion of a populace
until it is an accomplished fact. An insanity is the maximum mis-alignment,
it can be grasped to be the maximum weapon in severance of loyalties
to leaders and old social orders. Thus, it is of the utmost importance
that psycho political operatives infiltrate the healing arts of a
nation marked for conquest, and bring from that quarter continuous
pressure against the population and the government until at last
the conquest is affected. This is the subject and goal of Psycho
politics, itself. In re-arranging loyalties we must have a command
of their values. In the animal the first loyalty is to himself. This
is destroyed by demonstrating errors to him, showing him that he
does not remember, cannot act or does not trust himself. The second
loyalty is to his family unit, his parents and brothers and sisters.
This is destroyed by making a family unit economically non-dependent,
by lessening the VALUE OF MARRIAGE, by making an easiness of divorce
and by raising the children wherever possible by the State. The next
loyalty is to his friends and local environment. This is destroyed
by lowering his trust and bringing about reportings upon him allegedly
by his fellows or the town or village authorities. The next is to
the State and this, for the purposes of Communism, is the ONLY LOYALTY
which should exist once the state is founded as a Communist State.
To destroy loyalty to the State all manner of forbiddings FOR YOUTH
must he put into effect so as to disenfranchise them as members of
the Capitalistic State and, by promises of a better lot under Communism,
to gain their loyalty to a Communist movement. Denying a Capitalist
country EASY ACCESS TO COURTS, bringing about and supporting propaganda
to destroy the home, creating continuous juvenile delinquency, forcing
upon the State all manner of practices to divorce the child from
it will in the end create the chaos necessary to Communism. Under
the saccharine guise of assistance to them, rigorous child labour
laws are the best means to deny the child any right in the society.
By refusing to let him earn, by forcing him into unwanted dependence
upon a grudging parent, by making certain in other channels that
the parent is never in other than economic stress, the child can
be driven in his teens into revolt. Delinquency will ensue. By making
readily available drugs of various kinds, by giving the teenager
alcohol, by praising his wildness, by stimulating him with sex literature
and advertising to him or her practices as taught at the Sexpol,
the psycho political operator can create the necessary attitude of
chaos, idleness and worthlessness into which can then be cast the
solution which will give the teenager complete freedom everywhere
- Communism. Should it be possible to continue conscription beyond
any reasonable time by promoting unpopular wars and other means the
draft can always stand as a further barrier to the progress of youth
in life, destroying any immediate hope to participate in his nation's
civil life. By these means the patriotism of youth for their Capitalistic
flag can be dulled to a point where they are no longer dangerous
as soldiers. While this might require many decades to effect, Capitalism's
short term view will never envision the lengths across which we can
plan. If we could effectively kill the national pride and patriotism
of just one generation we will have won that country. Therefore there
must be continual propaganda abroad to undermine the loyalty of the
citizens in general and the teenager in particular. The role of the
psycho political operator in this is very strong. He can, from his
position as an authority on the mind, advise all manner of destructive
measures. He can teach the lack of control of this child at home.
He can instruct, in an optimum situation, the entire nation in how
to handle children - and instruct them so that the children, given
no control, given no real home, can run wildly about with no responsibility
for their nation or themselves.
The mis-alignment of the loyalty of youth to a Capitalistic nation
sets the proper stage for a re-alignment of their loyalties with
Communism. Creating a greed for drugs, sexual misbehavior and uncontrolled
freedom and presenting this to them as a benefit of Communism will
with ease bring about our alignment. In the case of strong leaders
amongst youthful groups, a psycho political operator can work in
many ways to use or discard that leadership. If it is to be used,
the character of the girl or boy must be altered carefully into criminal
channels and a control by blackmail or other means must be maintained.
But where the leadership is not susceptible, where it resists all
persuasions and might become dangerous to our cause, no pains must
be spared to direct the attention of the authorities to that person
and to harass him in one way or another until he can come into the
hands of juvenile authorities. When this has been effected it can
be hoped that a psycho political operator, by reason of child adviser
status, can, in the security of the gaol and cloaked by processes
of law, destroy the sanity of that person.
Particularly brilliant scholars, athletes and youth group leaders
must be handled in either one of these two ways. In the matter of
guiding the activities of juvenile courts, the psycho political operator
entertains here one of his easier tasks. A Capitalistic nation is
so filled with injustice in general that a little more passes without
comment. In juvenile courts there are always persons with strange
appetites whether these be judges or police men or women. If such
do not exist they CAN BE CREATED. By making available to them young
girls and boys in the "security" of the gaol or the detention home
and by appearing with flash cameras or witnesses one becomes equipped
with a whip adequate to direct all the future decisions of that person
when these are needed. The handling of youth cases by courts should
be led further and further into "mental problems" until the entire
nation thinks of "mental problems"
instead of criminals. This places vacancies everywhere in the courts,
in the offices of district attorneys, on police staffs, which could
then be filled with psycho political operators and these become then
the judges of the land by their influence and into their hands comes
the total control of the criminal, without whose help a revolution
cannot ever be accomplished. By stressing this authority over the
problems of youth and adults in courts one day the demand for psycho
political operators could become such that even the ARMED SERVICES
will use "authorities on the mind" to work their various justices
and when this occurs the armed forces of the nation then enter into
our hands as solidly as if we commanded them ourselves. With the
slight bonus of having thus a skilled interrogator near every technician
or handler of secret war apparatus, the country, in event of revolution,
as did Germany in 1918 and 1919, will find itself immobilized by
its own Army and Navy fully and entirely in Communist hands. Thus
the subject of loyalties and their re-alignment is in fact the subject
of non-armed conquest of an enemy. CHAPTER VI
THE GENERAL SUBJECT OF OBEDIENCE Obedience is the result of force.
Everywhere we look in the history of Earth we discover that obedience
to new rulers has come about entirely through the demonstration on
the part of those rulers of greater force than was to be discovered
in the old ruler. A population over-ridden and conquered by war,
is obedient to its conqueror. It is obedient to its conqueror because
its conqueror has exhibited more force. Concurrent with force is
brutality for there are human considerations involved which also
represent force. The most barbaric, unrestrained, brutal use of force,
if carried far enough, invokes obedience. Savage force, sufficiently
long displayed toward any individual, will bring about his concurrence
with any principle or order. Force is the antithesis of humanizing
actions. It is so synonymous in the human mind with savageness, lawlessness,
brutality, and barbarism that it is only necessary to display an
inhuman attitude toward people, to be granted by those people the
possession of force. Any organization which has the spirit and courage
to display inhumanity, savageness, brutality, and an uncompromising
lack of humanity, will be obeyed. Such a use of force is, itself,
the essential ingredient of greatness. We have at hand no less an
example than our great Communist Leaders who, in moments of duress
and trial when faced by Czarist rule, continued over the heads of
an enslaved populace, yet displayed sufficient courage never to stay
their hands in the execution of the conversion of the Russian State
to Communist rule. If you would have obedience you must have no compromise
with humanity. If you would have obedience you must make it clearly
understood that you have no mercy. Man is an animal. He understands,
in the final analysis, only those things which a brute understands.
As an example of this, we find an individual refusing to obey and
being struck. His refusal to obey is now less vociferous. He is struck
again, and his resistance is lessened once more. He is hammered and
pounded again and again, until, at length, his only thought is direct
and implicit obedience to that person from whom the force has emanated.
This is a proven principle. It is proven because it is the main principle
Man, the animal, has used since his earliest beginnings. It is the
only principle which has been effective, the only principle which
has brought about a wide and continued belief. For it is to our benefit
that an individual who is struck again, and again, and again from
a certain source, will, at length, hypnotically believe anything
he is told by the source of the blows. The stupidity of Western civilizations
is best demonstrated by the fact that they believe hypnotism is a
thing of the mind, of attention, and a desire for unconsciousness.
THIS IS NOT TRUE. Only when a person has been beaten, punished, and
mercilessly hammered, can hypnotism upon him be guaranteed in its
effectiveness. It is stated by Western authorities on hypnosis that
only some twenty per cent. of the people are susceptible to hypnotism.
This statement is VERY UNTRUE. Given enough punishment, all of the
people in any time and place are susceptible to hypnotism. In other
words, by adding force, hypnotism is made uniformly effective. Where
unconsciousness could not be induced by simple concentration upon
the hypnotist, unconsciousness can be induced by drugs, by electric
shock, and by other means. And where unconsciousness cannot be induced
so as to make an implementation or an hypnotic command effective,
it is only necessary to amputate the functioning portions of the
animal man's brain to render him null and void and no longer a menace.
Thus, we find that hypnotism is entirely effective. The mechanisms
of hypnotism demonstrate clearly that people can be made to believe
in certain conditions, and even in their environment or in politics,
by the administration of force. Thus, it is necessary for a psycho
politician to be an expert in the administration of forces. Thus,
he can bring about implicit obedience, not only on the part of individual
members of the populace, but on the entire population. Thus, we find
that hypnotism is entirely effective. The subject of hypnotism is
a subject of belief. What can people be made to believe? They can
be made to believe anything which is administered to them with sufficient
brutality and force. The obedience of a populace is as good as they
will believe. Despicable religions, such as Christianity, knew this.
They knew that if enough faith could be brought into being a populace
could be enslaved by the Christian mockeries of humanity and mercy,
and thus could be disarmed. But one need not count upon this act
of faith to bring about a broad belief. One must only exhibit enough
force, enough inhumanity, enough brutality and savageness to create
implicit belief and therefore and thereby obedience.
As Communism is a matter of belief, its study is a study of force.The
earliest Russian psychiatrists, pioneering this science of psychiatry,
understood thoroughly that hypnosis is induced by acute fear. They
discovered it could also be induced by shock of an emotional nature,
and also by extreme privation, as well as by blows and drugs. In
order to induce a high state of hypnology in an individual, a group,
or a population, an element of terror must always be present on the
part of those who would govern. The psychiatrist is aptly suited
to this role, for his brutalities are committed in the name of science
and are inexplicably complex, and entirely out of. view of the human
understanding. A sufficient popular terror of the psychiatrist will,
in itself, bring about insanity on the part of many individuals.
A psycho political operative, then, can, entirely cloaked with authority,
commence and continue a campaign of propaganda, describing various "treatments"
which are administered to the insane. A psycho political operative
should at all times insist that those treatments are therapeutic
and necessary. He can, in all of his literature and his books, list
large numbers of pretended cures by those means. But those "cures" need
not actually produce any recovery from a state of disturbance. As
long as the psycho political operative or his dupes are the only
authorities as to the difference between sanity and insanity, their
word as to the therapeutic value of such treatment will be the final
word. No layman would dare adventure to place judgment upon the state
of sanity of an individual whom the psychiatrist has already declared
insane. The individual, himself, is unable to complain, and his family,
as will be covered later, is already discredited by the occurrence
of insanity in their midst. There must be no other adjudicators of
insanity, otherwise it could be disclosed that the brutalities practised
in the name of treatment are not therapeutic. A psycho political
operative has no interest in "therapeutic means" or "cures". The
greater number of insane in the country where he is operating, the
larger number of the populace will come under his view, and the greater
will become his facilities. Because the problem is apparently mounting
into uncontrollable heights he can more and more operate in an atmosphere
of emergency, which again excuses his use of such treatments as electric
shock, the prefrontal lobotomy, trans-orbital leucotomy, and other
operations long since practised in Russia on political prisoners.
It is to the interest of the psycho political operative that the
possibility of curing the insane be outlawed and ruled out at all
times. For the sake of obedience on the part of the population and
their general reaction, a level of brutality must, at all costs,
be maintained. Only in this way can the absolute judgment of the
psycho political operative as to the sanity or insanity of public
figures be maintained in complete belief. Using sufficient brutality
upon their patients, the public at large will come to believe utterly
anything they say about their patients. Furthermore, and much more
important, the field of the mind must be sufficiently dominated by
the psycho political operative, so that wherever tenets of the mind
are taught they will be hypnotically believed. The psycho political
operative, having under his control all psychology classes in an
area, can thus bring about a complete reformation of the future leaders
of a country in their educational processes, and so prepare them
for Communism. To be obeyed, one must be believed. If one is sufficiently
believed, once believed, one will unquestionably be obeyed. When
he is fortunate enough to obtain into his hands anyone near to a
political or important figure, this factor of obedience becomes very
important. A certain amount of fear or terror must be engendered
in the person under treatment so that this person will then take
immediate orders, completely and unquestionably, from the psycho
political operative, and so be able to influence the actions of that
person who is to be reached. Bringing about this state of mind on
the part of a populace and its leaders - that a psycho political
operative must, at all times, be believed - could eventually be attended
by very good fortune. It is not too much to hope that psycho political
operatives would then, in a country such as the United States, become
the most intimate advisers to political figures, even to the point
of advising the entirety of a political party as to its actions in
an election. The long view is the important view. Belief is engendered
by a certain amount of fear and terror from an authoritative level,
and this will be followed by obedience. The general propaganda which
would best serve Psycho politics would be a continual insistence
that certain authoritative levels of healing, deemed this or that
the correct treatment of insanity. These treatments must always include
a certain amount of brutality.
Propaganda should continue and stress the rising incidence of insanity
in a country. The entire field of human behaviour, for the benefit
of the country, can, at length, be broadened into abnormal behaviour.
Thus, anyone indulging in any eccentricity, particularly the eccentricity
of combating psycho politics, could be silenced by the authoritative
opinion on the part of a psycho political operative that he was acting
in an abnormal fashion. This, with some good fortune, could bring
the person into the hands of the psycho political operative so as
to forever more disable him, or to swerve his loyalties by pain-drug
hypnotism. On the subject of obedience itself, the most optimum obedience
is unthinking obedience. The command given must be obeyed without
any rationalizing on the part of the subject. The command must, therefore,
be implanted below the thinking processes of the subject to be influenced,
and must react upon him in such a way as to bring no mental alertness
on his part. It is in the interest of Psycho polities that a population
be told that an hypnotized person will not do anything against his
will, will not commit immoral acts, and will not act so as to endanger
himself. While this may be true of light, parlour hypnotism, it certainly
is not true of commands implanted with the use of electric shock,
drugs, or heavy punishment. It is counted upon completely that this
will be discredited to the general public by psycho political operatives,
for if it were to be generally known that individuals would obey
commands harmful to themselves, and would commit immoral acts while
under the influence of deep hypnotic commands, the actions of many
people working unknowingly in favour of Communism would be too well
understood.People acting under deep hypnotic commands should be acting
apparently of their own volition and out of their own convictions.
The entire subject of psycho political hypnosis, Psycho politics
in general, depends for its defence upon continuous protest from
authoritative sources that such things are not possible. And, should
anyone unmask a psycho political operative, he should at once declare
the whole thing a physical impossibility, and use his authoritative
position to discount any accusation. Should any writings of Psycho
politics come to view, it is only necessary to brand them a hoax
and laugh them out of countenance. Thus, psycho political activities
are easy to defend. When psycho political activities have reached
a certain peak, from there on it is almost impossible to undo them,
for the population is already under the duress of obedience to the
psycho political operatives and their dupes. The ingredient of obedience
is important, for the complete belief in the psycho political operative
renders his statement cancelling any challenge about psycho political
operations irrefutable. The optimum circumstances would be to occupy
every position which would be consulted by officials on any question
or suspicion arising on the subject of Psycho politics. Thus, a psychiatric
adviser should be placed near to hand in EVERY GOVERNMENT OPERATION.
As all suspicions would then be referred to him, no action would
ever be taken, and the goal of Communism could be realized in that
nation. Psycho politics depends, from the viewpoint of the layman,
upon its fantastic aspects. These are its best defence, but above
all these defences is implicit obedience on the part of officials
and the general public, because of the character of the psycho political
operative in the field of healing. CHAPTER
VII ANATOMY OF STIMULUS - RESPONSE MECHANISMS OF MAN Man is a
stimulus-response animal. His entire reasoning capabilities, even
his ethics and morals, depend upon stimulus-response machinery. This
has long been demonstrated by such Russians as Pavlov, and the principles
have long been used in handling the recalcitrant, in training children,
and in bringing about a state of optimum behaviour on the part of
a population. Having no independent will of his own, Man is easily
handled by stimulus-response mechanisms. It is only necessary to
install a stimulus into the mental anatomy of Man to have that stimulus
reactivate and respond any time an exterior command source calls
it into being. The mechanisms of stimulus-response are easily understood.
The body takes pictures of every action in the environment around
an individual. When the environment includes brutality, terror, shock,
and other such activities, the mental image picture gained contains
in itself all the ingredients of the environment. If the individual,
himself, was injured during that moment, the injury, itself, will
re-manifest when called upon to respond by an exterior command source.
As an example of this, if an individual is beaten, and is told during
the entirety of the beating that he must obey certain officials,
he will, in the future, feel the beginnings of the pain the moment
he begins to disobey. The installed pain, itself, reacts as a policeman,
for the experience of the individual demonstrates to him that he
cannot combat and will receive pain from certain officials. The mind
can become very complex in its stimulus responses. As easily demonstrated
in hypnotism an entire chain of commands, having to do with a great
many complex actions, can be beaten, shocked, or terrorized into
a mind, and will there lie dormant until called into view by some
similarity in the circumstances of the environment to the incident
of punishment. The stimulus we call the "incident of punishment" where
the response mechanism need only contain some small part of the stimulus
to call into view the mental image picture, and cause it to exert
against the body, the pain sequence. So long as the individual obeys
the picture, or follows the commands of the stimulus implantation
he is free from pain. The behaviour of children is regulated in this
fashion in every civilized country. The father, finding himself unable
to bring about immediate obedience and training on the part of his
child, resorts to physical violence, and after administering punishment
of a physical nature to the child on several occasions, is gratified
to experience complete obedience on the part of the child each time
the father speaks. In that parents are wont to be lenient with their
children, they seldom administer sufficient punishment to bring about
entirely optimum obedience. The ability of the organism to withstand
punishment is very great. Complete and implicit response can be gained
only by stimuli sufficiently brutal to actually injure the organism.
The Kossack method of breaking wild horses is a useful example. The
horse will not restrain itself or take any of its rider's commands.
The rider, wishing to break it, mounts, and takes a flask of strong
vodka, and smashes it between the horse's ears. The horse, struck
to its knees, its eyes filled with alcohol, mistaking the dampness
for blood, instantly and thereafter gives its attention to the rider
and never needs further breaking. Difficulty in breaking horses is
only occasioned when light punishments are administered. There is
some mawkish sentimentality about "breaking the spirit", but what
is desired here is an obedient horse, and sufficient brutality brings
about an obedient horse. The stimulus-response mechanisms of the
body are such that the pain and the command subdivide so as to counter
each other. The mental image picture of the punishment will not become
effective upon the individual unless the command content is disobeyed.
It is pointed out in many early Russian writings that this is a survival
mechanism. It has already been well and thoroughly used in the survival
of Communism. It is only necessary to deliver into the organism a
sufficient stimulus to gain an adequate response. So long as the
organism obeys the stimulus whenever it is restimulated in the future,
it does not suffer from the pain of the stimulus. But should it disobey
the command content of the stimulus, the stimulus reacts to punish
the individual. Thus, we have an optimum circumstance, and one of
the basic principles of Psycho politics. A sufficiently installed
stimulus will thereafter remain as a police mechanism within the
individual to cause him to follow the commands and directions given
to him. Should he fail to follow these commands and directions, the
stimulus mechanism will go into action. As the commands are there
with the moment of duress, the commands themselves need never be
repeated, and if the individual were to depart thousands of miles
away from the psycho political operative, he will still obey the
psycho political operative, or, himself, become extremely ill and
in agony. These principles, built from the earliest days of Pavlov,
by constant and continuous Russian development, have, at last, become
of enormous use to us in our conquest. For less modern and well-informed
countries of Earth, lacking this mechanism, failing to understand
it, and coaxed into somnolence by our own psycho political operatives,
who discount and disclaim it, cannot avoid succumbing to it. The
body is less able to resist a stimulus if it has insufficient food
and is weary. Therefore it is necessary to administer all such stimuli
to individuals when their ability to resist has been reduced by privation
and exhaustion. Refusal to let them sleep over many days, denying
them adequate food, then brings about an optimum state for the receipt
of a stimulus. If the person is then given an electrical shock, and
is told while the shock is in action that he must obey and do certain
things, he has no choice but to do them, or to re-experience, because
of his mental image picture of it, the electric shock. This highly
scientific and intensely workable mechanism cannot be over-estimated
in the practice of psycho politics. Drugging the individual produces
an artificial exhaustion, and if he is drugged, or shocked and beaten,
and given a string of commands, his loyalties themselves, can be
definitely re-arranged. This is P. D. H., or Pain-Drug Hypnosis.
The psycho political operative in training should be thoroughly studied
in the subject of hypnotism and post-hypnotic suggestion. He should
pay particular attention to the "forgotten mechanism"
aspect of hypnotism, which is to say, implantation in the unconscious
mind. He should note particularly that a person given a command
in an hypnotic state, and then told when still in that condition
to forget it, will execute it on a stimulus-response signal in
the environment after he has "awakened" from his hypnotic trance.
Having mastered these details fully, he should, by practising upon
criminals and prisoners, or inmates available to him, produce the
hypnotic trance by drugs, and drive home post-hypnotic suggestions
by pain administered to the drugged person. He should then study
the reactions of the person when "awakened" and should give him
the stimulus-response signal which would throw into action the
threshold dosages of various drugs, and the amount of duress in
terms of electric shock or additional drug shock necessary to produce
the optimum obedience to the commands. He should also satisfy himself
that there is no possible method known to Man . . . there must
be no possible method known to Man . . . of bringing the patient
into awareness of what has happened to him, keeping him in a state
of obedience and response while ignorant of its cause. Using criminals
and prisoners, the psycho political operative in training should
then experiment with duress in the absence of privations, administering
electric shocks, beatings, and terror-inducing tactics, accompanied
by the same mechanisms as those employed in hypnotism, and watch
the conduct of the person when no longer under duress. The operative
in training should carefully remark those who show a tendency to
protest, so that he may recognise possible recovery of memory of
the commands implanted. Purely for his own education, he should
then satisfy himself as to the efficacy of brain surgery in disabling
the non-responsive prisoner. The boldness of the psycho political
operative can be increased markedly by permitting persons who have
been given pain-drug hypnosis who have demonstrated symptoms of
rebelling or recalling into the society to observe how the label
of "insanity" discredits and discounts the statements of the person.
Exercises in bringing about insanity seizures at will, simply by
demonstrating a signal to persons upon whom pain-drug hypnosis
has been used, and exercises in making the seizures come about
through talking to certain persons in certain places and times
should also be used. Brain surgery, as developed in Russia, should
also be practised by the psycho political operative in training,
to give him full confidence in (1) the crudeness with which it
can be done, (2) the certainty of erasure of the stimulus-response
mechanism itself, (3) the production of imbecility, idiocy, and
dis-co-ordination on the part of the patient, and (4) the small
amount of comment which casualties in brain surgery occasion. Exercises
in sexual attack on patients should be practised by the psycho
political operative to demonstrate the inability of the patient
under pain drug hypnosis to recall the attack, while indoctrinating
a lust for further sexual activity on the part of the patient.
Sex, in all animals, is a powerful motivator, and is no less so
in the animal Man, and the occasioning of sexual liaison between
females of a target family and indicated males, under the control
of the complete security for the psycho political operative, thus
giving into his hands an excellent weapon for the breaking down
of familial relations and consequent public disgraces for the psycho
political target. Just as a dog can be trained, so can a man be
trained. Just as a horse can be trained, so can a man be trained.
Sexual lust, masochism, and any other desirable perversion can
be induced by pain-drug hypnosis and the benefit of Psycho politics.
The changes of loyalties, allegiances, and sources of command can
be occasioned easily by psycho political technologies, and these
should be practised and understood by the psycho political operative
before he begins to tamper with psycho political targets of magnitude.
The actual simplicity of the subject of pain-drug hypnosis, the
use of electric shock, drugs, insanity-producing injections, and
other materials should be masked entirely by technical nomenclature,
the protest of benefit to the patient, by an authoritarian pose
and position, and by carefully cultivating governmental positions
in the country being conquered. Although the psycho political operative
working in universities where he can direct the curricula of psychology
classes is often tempted to teach some of the principles of Psycho
politics to the susceptible students in the psychology classes,
he must be thoroughly enjoined to the limit his information in
psychology classes to the transmittal of the tenets of Communism
under the guise of psychology, and must limit his activities in
bringing about a state of mind on the part of the students where
they will accept Communist tenets as those of their own action
and as modern scientific principles. The psychological operative
must not, at any time, educate students fully in stimulus-response
mechanisms, and must not impart to them, save those who will, become
his fellow-workers, the exact principles of Psycho politics. It
is not necessary to do so, and it is dangerous. CHAPTER
VIII DEGRADATION, SHOCK AND ENDURANCE Degradation and conquest
are companions. In order to be conquered, a nation must be degraded,
either by acts of war, by being overrun, by being forced into humiliating
treaties of peace, or by the treatment of her populace under the
armies of the conqueror. However degradation can be accomplished
much more insidiously and much more effectively by consistent and
continual defamation. Defamation is the best and foremost weapon
of Psycho politics on the broad field. Continual and constant degradation
of national leaders, national institutions, national practices,
and national heroes must be systematically carried out, but this
is the chief function of Communist Party Members, in general, not
the psycho politician. The realm of defamation and degradation
of the psycho politician is Man himself. By attacking the character
and morals of Man himself, and by bringing about, through contamination
of youth, a general degraded feeling, command of the populace is
facilitated to a very marked degree. There is a curve of degradation
which leads downward to a point where the endurance of an individual
is almost at an end, and any sudden action toward him will place
him in a state of shock. Similarly, a soldier held prisoner can
be abused, denied, defamed, and degraded until the slightest motion
on the part of his captors will cause him to flinch. Similarly,
the slightest word on the part of his captors will cause him to
obey, or vary his loyalties and beliefs. Given sufficient degradation,
a prisoner can be caused to murder his fellow countrymen in the
same stockade. Experiments on German prisoners have largely demonstrated
that only after seventy days of filthy food, little sleep, and
nearly untenable quarters, that the least motion toward the prisoner
would bring about a state of shock beyond his endurance threshold,
and would cause him to hypnotically receive anything said to him.
Thus, it is possible, in an entire stockade of prisoners, to the
number of thousands, to bring about a state of complete servile
obedience, and without the labour of personally addressing each
one, to pervert their loyalties and implant in them adequate commands
to insure their future conduct, even when released to their own
people. By lowering the endurance of a person, a group, or a nation,
and by constant degradation and defamation, it is possible to induce,
thus, a state of shock which will receive adequately any command
given. The first thing to be degraded in any nation is the state
of Man, himself. Nations which have high ethical tone are difficult
to conquer. Their loyalties are hard to shake, their allegiance
to their leaders is fanatical, and what they usually call their
spiritual integrity cannot be violated by duress. It is not efficient
to attack a nation in such a frame of mind. It is the basic purpose
of Psycho politics to reduce that state of mind to a point where
it can be ordered and enslaved. Thus, the first target is Man,
himself. He must be degraded from a spiritual being to an animalistic
reaction. He must no longer think of himself, or of his fellows,
as capable of "spiritual endurance", or nobility. The best approach
toward degradation in its first stages is the propaganda of "scientific
approach" to Man. Man must be consistently demonstrated to be a
mechanism without individuality, and it must be educated into a
populace under attack that Man's individualistic reactions are
the product of mental derangement. The populace must be brought
into the belief that every individual within it who rebels in any
way, shape, or form against efforts and activities to enslave the
whole, must be considered to be a deranged person whose eccentricities
are neurotic or insane, and who must have at once the treatment
of a psycho politician. An optimum condition in such a program
of degradation would address itself to the military forces of the
nation, and bring them rapidly away from any other belief than
that the disobedient one must be subjected to "mental treatment".
An enslavement of a population can fail only if these rebellious
individuals are left to exert their individual influences upon
their fellow citizens, sparking them into rebellion, calling into
account their nobilities and freedoms. Unless these restless individuals
are stamped out and given into the hands of psycho political operatives
early in the conquest, there will be nothing but trouble as the
conquest continues. The officials of the government, students,
readers, partakers of entertainment, must all be indoctrinated,
by whatever means, into the complete belief that the restless,
the ambitious, the natural leaders, are suffering from environmental
maladjustments, which can only be healed by recourse to psycho
political operatives in the guise of mental healers. By thus degrading
the general belief in the status of Man it is relatively simple
with co-operation from the economic salients being driven into
the country to drive citizens apart, one from another, to bring
about a question of the wisdom of their own government, and to
cause them to actively beg for enslavement. The educational programmes
of Psycho politics must, at every hand, seek out the levels of
youth who will become the leaders in the country's Future, and
educate them into the belief of the animalistic nature of Man.
This must be made fashionable. They must be taught to frown upon
ideas, upon individual endeavour. They must be taught, above all
things, that the salvation of Man is to be found only by his adjusting
thoroughly to this environment. This educational program in the
field of Psycho politics can best be allowed by bringing about
a compulsory training in some subject such as psychology or other
mental practice, and ascertaining that each broad program of psycho
political training be supervised by a psychiatrist who is a trained
psycho political operative. As it seems in foreign nations that
the church is the most ennobling influence, each and every branch
and activity of each and every church must, one way or another,
be discredited. Religion must become unfashionable by demonstrating
broadly, through psycho political indoctrination, that the soul
is non-existent, and that Man is an animal.The lying mechanisms
of Christianity lead men to foolishly brave deeds. By teaching
them that there is a life hereafter, the liability of courageous
acts, while living, is thus lessened. The liability of any act
must be markedly increased if a populace is to be obedient. Thus,
there must be no standing belief in the church, and the power of
the church must be denied at every hand. The psycho political operative,
in his program of degradation, should at all times bring into question
any family which is deeply religious, and, should any neurosis
or insanity be occasioned in that family, to blame and hold responsible
their religious connections for the neurotic or psychotic condition.
Religion must be made synonymous with neurosis and psychosis. People
who are deeply religious would be less and less held responsible
for their own sanity, and should more and more be relegated to
the ministrations of psycho political operatives.By perverting
the institutions of a nation and bringing about a general degradation,
by interfering with the economics of a nation to the degree that
privation and depression come about, only minor shocks will be
necessary to produce, on the populace as a whole, an obedient reaction
or an hysteria. Thus, the mere threat of war, the mere threat of
aviation bombings, could cause the population to sue instantly
for peace. It is a long and arduous road for the psycho political
operative to achieve this state of mind on the part of a whole
nation, but no more than twenty or thirty years should be necessary
in the entire program, having at hand, as we do, weapons with which
to accomplish the goal. CHAPTER IX THE ORGANISATION
OF MENTAL HEALTH CAMPAIGNS Psycho political operatives should
at all times be alert to the opportunity to organise, "for the
betterment of the community" mental health clubs or groups. By
thus inviting the co-operation of the population as a whole in
mental health programmes, the terrors of mental aberration can
be disseminated throughout the populace. Furthermore, each one
of these mental health groups, properly guided, can bring, at last,
legislative pressure against the government to secure adequately
the position of the psycho political operative, and to obtain for
him government grants and facilities, thus bringing a government
to finance its own downfall. Mental health organisations must carefully
delete from their ranks anyone actually proficient in the handling
or treatment of mental health. Thus must be excluded priests, ministers,
actually trained psycho-analysts, good hypnotists, or trained dianeticists.
These, with some cognizance on the subject of mental aberration
and its treatment, and with some experience in observing the mentally
deranged, if allowed frequency within institutions, and if permitted
to receive literature, would, sooner or later become suspicious
of the activities engaged upon by the psycho political operative.
These must be defamed and excluded as "untrained", "unskillful", "quacks",
or "perpetrators of hoaxes .] No mental health movement with actual
goals of mental therapy should be continued in existence in any
nation. For instance, the use of Chinese acupuncture in the treatment
of mental and physical derangement must, in China, be stamped out
and discredited thoroughly, as it has some efficacy, and, more
importantly, its practitioners understand, through long conversation
with it, many of the principles of actual mental health and aberration.
In the field of mental health, the psycho politician must occupy,
and continue to occupy, through various arguments, the authoritative
position on the subject. There is always the danger that problems
of mental health may be resolved by some individual or group which
might then derange the program of the psycho political operative
in his mental health clubs. City officials, socialites, and other
unknowing individuals, on the subject of mental health, should
be invited to full co-operation in the activity of mental health
groups. But the entirety of this activity should be to finance
better facilities for the psycho political practitioner. To these
groups it must be continually stressed that the entire subject
of mental illness is so complex that none of them, certainly, could
understand any part of it. Thus the club should be kept on a social
and financial level. Where groups interested in the health of the
community have already been formed, they should be infiltrated
and taken over, and if this is not possible, they should be discredited
and debarred, and the officialdom of the area should be invited
to stamp them out as dangerous. When a hostile group dedicated
to mental health is discovered, the psycho politician should have
recourse to the mechanism of pey-te, mescaline, and later drugs
which cause temporary insanity. He should send persons, preferably
who are well under his control, into the mental health group, and
invite the group, whether Christian Science or Dianetics or other
practice, to demonstrate its abilities upon this new person. These,
in demonstrating their abilities, will usually act with enthusiasm.
Midway in the course of their treatment, a quiet injection of psyote,
mescaline, or other drug, or an electric shock, will produce the
symptoms of insanity in the patient which has been sent to the
target group. The patient thus demonstrating momentary insanity
should immediately be reported to the police and taken away to
some area of incarceration managed by psycho-political operatives,
and so placed out of sight. Officialdom will thus come into a belief
that this group drives individuals insane by their practices, and
the practices of the group will then be despised and prohibited
by law. The values of a widespread mental health organisation are
manifest when one realises that any government can be forced to
provide facilities for psycho political operatives in the form
of psychiatric wards in all hospitals, in national institutions
totally in the hands of psycho political operatives, and in the
establishment of clinics where youth can be contacted and arranged
more seemingly to the purposes of Psycho politics. Such groups
form a political force which can then legalize any law or authority
desired for the psycho political operative. The securing of authority
over such mental health organisations is done mainly by appeal
to education. A psycho political operative should make sure that
those psychiatrists he controls, those psychologists whom he has
under his orders, have been trained for an excessively long period
of time. The longer the training period which can be required,
the safer the psycho political program, since no new group of practitioners
can arise to disclose and dismay psycho political programs.
Furthermore, the groups themselves cannot hope to obtain any full
knowledge of the subject, not having behind them many, many years
of intensive training. Vienna has been carefully maintained as
the home of Psycho politics, since it was the home of Psycho-analysis.
Although our activities have long since dispersed any of the gains
made by Freudian groups, and have taken over these groups, the
proximity of Vienna to Russia, when Psycho-politics is operating
abroad, and the necessity "for further study" by psycho political
operatives in the birthplace of Psycho-analysis, makes periodic
contacts with headquarters possible. Thus, the word
"psycho- analysis" must be stressed at all times, and must be pretended
to be a thorough part of the psychiatrist's training. Psycho-analysis
has the very valuable possession of a vocabulary, and a workability
which is sufficiently poor to avoid recovery of psycho political
implantations. It can be made fashionable throughout mental health
organisations, and by learning its patter, and by believing they
see some of its phenomena, the members of mental health groups
can believe themselves conversant with mental health. Because its
stress is sex, it is itself, an adequate defamation of character,
and serves the purposes of degradation well. Thus, in organising
mental health groups, the literature furnished such groups should
be psycho-analytical in nature. If a group of persons interested
in suppressing juvenile delinquency, in caring for the insane,
and the promotion of psycho political operatives and their actions
can be formed in every major city of a country under conquest,
the success of a psycho political program is assured, since these
groups seem to represent a large segment of the population. By
releasing continued propaganda on the subject of dope addiction,
homosexuality, and depraved conduct on the part of the young, even
the judges of a country can become suborned into reacting violently
against the youth of the country, thus misaligning and aligning
the support of youth. The communication lines of psycho politics,
if such mental health organisations can be well established, can
thus run from its most prominent citizens to its government. It
is not too much to hope that the influence of such groups could
bring about a psychiatric ward in every hospital in the land, and
psychiatrists in every company and regiment of the nation's army,
and whole government institutes manned entirely by psycho political
operatives, into which ailing government officials could be placed,
to the advantage of the psycho politician. If a psychiatric ward
could be established in every city in a nation, it is certain that,
at one time or another, every prominent citizen of that nation
could come under the ministrations of psycho political operatives
or their dupes. The validation of psychiatric positions in the
armed forces and security-minded institutions of the nation under
conquest could bring about a flow and fund of information unlike
any other program which could be conceived. If every pilot who
flies a new plane could come under the questioning of a psycho
political operative, if the compiler of every plan of military
action could thus come under the review of psycho political operatives,
the simplicity with which information can be extracted by the use
of certain drugs, without the after-knowledge of the soldier, would
entirely cripple any overt action toward Communism. If the nation
could be educated into turning over psycho-political operatives
every recalcitrant or rebellious soldier, it would lose its best
fighters. Thus, the advantage of mental health organisations can
be seen, for these, by exerting an apparent public pressure against
the government, can achieve these ends and goals. The financing
of a psycho political operation is difficult unless it is done
by the citizens and government. Although vast sums of money can
be obtained from private patients, and from relatives who wish
persons put away, it is nevertheless, difficult to obtain millions
unless the government itself is co-operating. The co-operation
of the government to obtain these vast sums of money is best obtained
by the organisation of mental health groups composed of leading
citizens, and who bring their lobbying abilities to bear against
the nation's government. Thus can be financed many programs, which
might otherwise have to be laid aside by the psycho politician.
The psycho political operative should bend consistent and continual
effort toward forming and continuing in action innumerable mental
health groups. The psycho political operative should also spare
no expense in smashing out of existence, by whatever means, any
actual healing group, such as that of acupuncture, in China; such
as Christian Science and Dianetics, in the United States; such
as Catholicism in Italy and Spain; and the practical psychology
groups of England. CHAPTER X CONDUCT UNDER
FIRE The psycho politician may well find himself under attack
as an individual or a member of a group. He may be attacked as
a Communist, through some leak in the organisation. He may be attacked
for malpractice. He may be attacked by the families of people whom
he has injured. In all cases his conduct of the situation should
be calm and aloof. He should have behind him the authority of many
years of practice, and he should have participated fully in the
building of defences in the field of insanity which give him the
only statement as to the conditions of the mind. If he has not
done his work well, hostile groups may expose an individual psycho
politician. These may call into question the efficacy of psychiatric
treatment such as shock, drugs, and brain surgery. Therefore, the
psycho political operative must have at hand innumerable documents
which assert enormously encouraging figures on the subject of recovery
by reason of shock, brain surgery, drugs, and general treatment.
Not one of these cases cited need be real, but they should be well
documented and printed in such a fashion as to form excellent court
evidence. When his allegiance is attacked, the psycho political
operative should explain his connection with Vienna on the grounds
that Vienna is the place of study for all important matters of
the mind. More importantly, he should rule into scorn, by reason
of his authority, the sanity of the person attacking him, and if
the psycho political archives of the country are adequate, many
defamatory data can be unearthed and presented as a rebuttal. Should
anyone attempt to expose psychotherapy as a psycho political activity,
the best defence is calling into question the sanity of the attacker.
The next best defence is authority. The next best defence is a
validation of psychiatric practices in terms of long and impressive
figures. The next best defence is the actual removal of the attacker
by giving him, or them, treatment sufficient to bring about a period
of insanity for the duration of the trial. This, more than anything
else, would discredit them, but it is dangerous to practise this,
in the extreme. Psycho politics should avoid murder and violence,
unless it is done in the safety of the institution, on persons
who have been proven to be insane. Where institution deaths appear
to be unnecessary, or to rise an "unreasonable number", political
capital might be made of this by city officials or legislature.
If the psycho political operative has, himself, or if his group
has done a thorough job, defamatory data concerning the person,
or connections, of the would be attacker should be on file, should
be documented, and should be used in such a way as to discourage
the inquiry. After a period of indoctrination, a country will expect
insanity to be met by psycho political violence. Psycho political
activities should become the only recognised treatment for insanity.
Indeed, this can be extended to such a length that it could be
made illegal for electric shock and brain surgery to be omitted
in the treatment of a patient. In order to defend psycho political
activities, a great complexity should be made of psychiatric, psycho-analytical,
and psychological technology. Any hearing should be burdened by
terminology too difficult to be transcribed easily. A great deal
should be made out of such terms as schizophrenia, paranoia, and
other relatively undefinable states. Psycho political tests need
not necessarily be in agreement, one to another, where they are
available to the public. Various types of insanity should be characterised
by difficult terms. The actual state should be made obscure, but
by this verbiage it can be built into the court or investigating
mind that a scientific approach exists and that it is too complex
for him to understand. It is not to be imagined that a judge or
a committee of investigation should inquire too deeply into the
subject of insanity, since they themselves, part of the indoctrinated
masses, are already intimidated if the psycho political activity
has caused itself to be well documented in terms of horror in magazines.
In case of a hearing or trial, the terribleness of insanity itself,
its threat to the society, should be exaggerated until the court
or committee believes that the psycho political operative is vitally
necessary in his post, and should not be harrassed for the activities
of persons who are irrational. An immediate attack upon the sanity
of the attacker before any possible hearing can take place is the
very best defence. It should become well known that "only the insane
attack psychiatrists". The by-word should be built into the society
that paranoia is a condition "in which the individual believes
he is being attacked by Communists".
It will be found that this defence is effective. Part of the effective
defences should include the entire lack in the society of any real
psychotherapy. This must be systematically stamped out, since a
real psychotherapy might possibly uncover the results of psycho
political activities. Jurisprudence, in a Capitalistic nation is
of such clumsiness that cases are invariably tried in their newspapers.
We have handled these things much better in Russia, and have uniformly
brought people to trial with full confessions already arrived at
(being implanted) before the trial took place. Should any whisper,
or pamphlets, against psycho political activities be published,
it should be laughed into scorn, branded an immediate hoax, and
its perpetrator or publisher should be, at the first opportunity,
branded as insane, and by the use of drugs the insanity should
be confirmed. CHAPTER XI THE USE OF PSYCHO
POLITICS IN SPREADING COMMUNISM Reactionary nations are of
such a composition that they attack a word without understanding
it. As the conquest of a nation by communism depends upon imbuing
its population with communistic tenets, it is not necessary that
the term "Communism" be applied at first to the educative measures
employed. As an example, in the United States we have been able
to alter the works of William James, and others, into a more acceptable
pattern, and to place the tenets of Karl Marx, Pavlov, Lemarack
and the data of Dialectic Materialism into the text-books of psychology,
to such a degree that anyone thoroughly studying psychology becomes
at once a candidate to accept the reasonableness of Communism.
As every chair of psychology in the United States is occupied by
persons in our connection, the consistent employment of such texts
is guaranteed. They are given the authoritative ring, and they
are carefully taught. Constant pressure in the legislatures of
the United States can bring about legislation to the effect that
every student attending a high school or university must have classes
in psychology, educating broadly the educated strata of the populace
into the tenets of Communism thus rendered relatively easy, and
when the choice is given them whether to continue as a Capitalistic
or a Communistic condition, they will see, suddenly, in Communism,
much more reasonability than in Capitalism, which will not be of
our own definition. CHAPTER XII VIOLENT REMEDIES As
populaces in general understand that a witness is necessary in
the handling, of the insane, violent remedies seem to be reasonable.
Starting from a relatively low level of violence, such as strait-jackets
and other restraints, it is relatively easy to encroach upon the
public diffidence for violence by adding more and more cruelty
into the treatment of the insane. By increasing the brutality of "treatment" the
public expectance of such treatment will be assisted, and the protest
of the individual to whom the treatment is given is impossible,
since immediately after the treatment he is incapable. The family
of the individual under treatment is suspect for having had in
its midst, already an insane person. The family's protest should
be discredited. The more violent the treatment, the more command
value the psycho political operative will accumulate. Brain operations
should become a standard and commonplace treatment. While the figures
of actual deaths should be repressed wherever possible, nevertheless
it is of no great concern to the psycho political operative that
many deaths do occur. Gradually the public should be educated into
electric shock, first by believing that it is very therapeutic,
then by believing that it is quieting, then by being informed that
electric shock usually injures the spine and teeth, and finally,
that it very often kills or at least breaks the spine and removes,
violently, the teeth of the patient. It is very doubtful if anyone
from the lay levels of the public could tolerate the observation
of a single electric shock treatment. Certainly they could not
tolerate witnessing a prefrontal lobotomy or a trans-orbital leucotomy.
However, they should be brought up to a level where this is possible,
where it is the expected treatment, and where the details of the
treatment itself can be made known, thus to the increase of psycho
political prestige. The more violent the treatment, the more hopeless
insanity will seem to be. The society should be worked up to the
level where every recalcitrant young man can be brought into court
and assigned to a psycho political operative, be given electric
shocks, and reduced into unimaginative docility for the remainder
of his days. By continuous and increasing advertising of the violence
of treatment, the public will at last come to tolerate the creation
of zombie conditions to such a degree that they will probably employ
zombies, if given to them. Thus a large strata of the society,
particularly that which was rebellious, can be reduced to the service
of the psycho politician. By various means a public must be convinced,
at least, that insanity can only be met by shock, torture, deprivation,
defamation, discreditation, violence, maiming, death, punishment,
in all its forms. The society, at the same time, must be educated
into the belief of increasing insanity within its ranks. This creates
an emergency, and places the psycho politician in a saviour role,
and places him, at length, in charge of the society. CHAPTER
XIII THE RECRUITING OF PSYCHOPOLITICAL DUPES The psycho political
dupe is a well-trained individual who serves in complete obedience
the psycho political operative. In that nearly all persons in training
are expected to undergo a certain amount of treatment in any field
of the mind, it is not too difficult to persuade persons in the
field of mental healing to subject themselves to mild or minor
drugs or shock. If this can be done, a psychological dupe on the
basis of pain-drug hypnosis can immediately result. Recruitment
into the ranks of "mental healing" can best be done by carefully
bringing to it only those healing students who are, to some slight
degree, already depraved, or who have been "treated" by psycho
political operatives. Recruitment is effected by making the field
of mental healing very attractive, financially, and SEXUALLY. The
amount of promiscuity which can be induced in mental patients can
work definitely to the advantage of the psycho political recruiting
agent. The dupe can thus be induced into many lurid sexual contacts,
and these, properly witnessed, can thereafter be used as blackmail
material to assist any failure of pain-drug hypnosis in causing
him to execute orders. The promise of unlimited sexual opportunities,
the promise of complete dominion over the bodies and minds of helpless
patients, the promise of complete lawlessness without detection,
can thus attract to "mental healing" many desirable recruits who
will willingly fall in line with psycho political activities. In
that the psycho politician has under his control the insane of
the nation, most of them have criminal tendencies, and as he can,
as his movement goes forward, recruit for his ranks the criminals
themselves, he has unlimited numbers of human beings to employ
on whatever project he may see fit. In that the insane will execute
destructive projects without question, if given the proper amount
of punishment and implantation, the degradation of the country's
youth, the defamation of its leaders, the suborning of its courts
becomes childishly easy. The psycho politician has the advantage
of naming as a delusory symptom any attempt on the part of a patient
to expose commands. The psycho politician should carefully adhere
to institutions and should eschew private practice whenever possible,
since this gives him the greatest number of human beings to control
to the use of Communism. When he does act in private practice,
it should be only in contact with the families of the wealthy and
the officials of the country. CHAPTER XIV THE
SMASHING OF RELIGIOUS GROUPS You must know that until recent
times the complete subject of mental derangement, whether so light
as simple worry or so heavy as insanity, was the sphere of activity
of the church and only the church. Traditionally in civilized nations
and barbaric ones the priesthood alone had in complete charge the
mental condition of the citizen. As a matter of great concern to
the psycho politician this tendency still exists in every public
in the Western world and scientific inroads into this sphere has
occurred only in official and never in public quarters. The magnificent
tool welded for us by Wundt would be as nothing if it were not
for official insistence in civilized countries that "scientific
practices" be applied to the problem of the mind. Without this
official insistence of even if it relapsed for a moment, the masses
would grasp stupidity for the priest, the minister, the clergy
when mental condition came in question.
Today in Europe and America "scientific practices" in the
field of the mind would not last moments if not enforced entirely
by officialdom. It must be carefully hidden that the incidence
of insanity has increased only since these "scientific practices" were
applied. Great remarks must be made of "the pace of modern living" and
other myths as the cause of the increased neurosis in the world.
It is nothing to us what causes it if anything does. It is everything
to us that no evidence of any kind shall be tolerated afoot to
permit the public tendency toward the church its way. If given
their heads, if left to themselves to decide, independent of officialdom,
where they would place their deranged loved ones, the public would
choose religious sanitariums and would avoid as if plagued places
where "scientific practices"
prevail.Given any slightest encouragement, public support would
swing on an instant all mental healing into the hands of the churches.
And there are Churches waiting to receive it, clever churches.
That terrible monster the Roman Catholic Church still dominates
mental healing heavily throughout the Christian world and their
well-schooled priests are always at work to turn the public their
way. Among Fundamentalist and Pentecostal groups healing campaigns
are conducted, which, because of their results, win many to the
cult of Christianity. In the field of pure healing the Church of
Christ Science of Boston, Massachusetts, excells in commanding
the public favour and operates many sanitariums. All these must
be swept aside. They must be ridiculed and defamed and every cure
they advertise must be asserted as a hoax. A full fifth of a psycho
politician's time should be devoted to smashing these threats.
Just as in Russia we had to destroy, after many, many years of
the most arduous work, the Church, so we must destroy all faiths
in nations marked for conquest. Insanity must be made to hound
the footsteps of every priest and practitioner. His best results
must be turned to jibbering insanities no matter what means we
have to use. You need not care what effect you have upon the public.
The effect you care about is the one upon officials. You must recruit
every agency of the nation marked for slaughter into a foaming
hatred of religious healing. You must suborn district attorneys
and judges into an intense belief as fervent as an ancient faith
in God that Christian Science or any other religious practice which
might devote itself to mental healing is vicious, bad, insanity-causing,
publicly hated and intolerable. You must suborn and recruit any
medical healing organisation into collusion in this campaign. You
must appeal to their avarice and even their humanity to invite
their co-operation in smashing all religious healing and thus,
to our end, care of the insane. You must see that such societies
have only qualified Communist-indoctrinees as their advisers in
this matter. For you can use such societies. They are stupid and
stampede easily. Their cloak and degrees can be used quite well
to mask any operation we care to have masked. We must make them
partners in our endeavour so that they will never be able to crawl
from beneath our thumb and discredit us. We have battled in America
since the century's turn to bring to nothing any and all Christian
influences and we are succeeding. While we today seem to be kind
to the Christian, remember we have yet to influence the "Christian
world" to our ends. When that is done we shall have an end of them
everywhere. You may see them here in Russia as trained apes. They
do not know their tether is long only until the apes in other lands
have become unwary. You must work until "religion" is synonymous
with "insanity". You must work until the officials of city, county
and state governments will not think twice before they pounce upon
religious groups as public enemies. Remember, all lands are governed
by the few and only pretend to consult with the many. It is no
different in America. The petty official, the maker of laws alike,
can be made to believe the worst. It is not necessary to convince
the masses. It is only necessary to work incessantly upon the official,
using personal defamations, wild lies, false evidences and constant
propaganda to make him fight for you against the church or against
any practitioner. Like the official, the bona fide medical healer
also believes the worst if it can be shown to him as dangerous
competition. And like the Christian, should he see to take from
us any right we have gained, we shall finish him as well. We must
be like the vine upon the tree. We use the tree to climb and then,
strangling it, grow into power on the nourishment of its flesh.
We must strike from our path any opposition. We must use for our
tools any authority that comes to hand. And then at last, the decades
sped we can dispense with all authority save our own and triumph
in the greater glory of the PARTY. CHAPTER
XV PROPOSALS WHICH MUST BE AVOIDED There are certain damaging
movements which could interrupt a psycho political conquest. These,
coming from some quarters of the country, might gain headway and
should be spotted before they do, and stamped out. Proposals may
be made by large and powerful groups in the country to return the
insane to the care of those who have handled mental healing for
tribes and populaces for centuries - the priests. Any movement
to place clergymen in charge of institutions should be fought on
the grounds of incompetence and the insanity brought by religion.
The most destructive thing which could happen to a psycho political
program would be the investment of the ministry with the care of
the nation's insane. If mental hospitals operated by religious
groups are in existence, they must be discredited and closed, no
matter what the cost, for it might occur that the actual figures
of recovery in such institutions would become known, and that the
lack of recovery in general institutions might be compared to them,
and this might lead to a movement to place the clergy in charge
of the insane. Every argument must be advanced early, to overcome
any possibility of this ever occurring. A country's law must carefully
be made to avoid any rights of person to the insane. Any suggested
laws of Constitutional Amendments which make the harming of the
insane unlawful, should be fought to the extreme, on the grounds
that only violent measures can succeed. If the law were to protect
the insane, as it normally does not, the entire psycho political
program would very possibly collapse. Any movement to increase
or place under surveillance the orders required to hospitalize
the mentally ill should be discouraged. This should be left entirely
in the hands of persons well under the control of psycho political
operatives. It should be done with minimum formality, and no recovery
of the insane from an institution should be possible by any process
of law. Thus, any movement to add to the legal steps of the processes
of commitment and release should be discouraged on the grounds
of emergency. To obviate this, the best action is to place a psychiatric
and detention ward for the mentally ill in every hospital in a
land. Any writings of a psycho political nature, accidentally disclosing
themselves should be prevented. All actual literature on the subject
of insanity and its treatment should be suppressed, first by actual
security, and second by complex verbiage which renders it incomprehensible.
The actual figures of recovery or death should never be announced
in any papers. Any investigation attempting to discover whether
or not psychiatry or psychology has ever cured anyone should immediately
be discouraged and laughed to scorn, and should mobilize at that
point all psycho political operatives. At first, it should be ignored,
but if this is not possible, the entire weight of all psycho politicians
in the nation should be pressed into service. Any tactic possible
should be employed to prevent this from occurring. To rebut it,
technical appearing papers should exist as to the tremendous number
of cures affected by psychiatry and psychology, and whenever possible,
percentages of cures, no matter how fictitious, should be worked
into legislative papers, thus forming a background of "evidence" which
would immediately rebut any effort to actually discover anyone
who had ever been helped by psychiatry or psychology. If the Communist
connections of a psycho politician should become disclosed, it
should be attributed to his own carelessness, and he should, himself,
be immediately branded as eccentric within his own profession.
Authors of literature which seek to demonstrate the picture of
a society under complete mental control and duress should be helped
toward infamy or suicide to discredit their works. Any legislation
liberalizing any healing practice should be immediately fought
and defeated. All healing practices should gravitate entirely to
authoritative levels, and no other opinions should be admitted,
as these might lead to exposure. Movements to improve youth should
be invaded and corrupted, as this might interrupt campaigns to
produce in youth delinquency, addiction, drunkenness, and sexual
promiscuity. Communist workers in the field of newspapers and radio
should be protected wherever possible by striking out of action,
through Psycho politics, any persons consistently attacking them.
These, in their turn, should be persuaded to give every possible
publicity to the benefits of psycho political activities under
the heading of "science". No healing group devoted to the mind
must be allowed to exist within the borders of Russia and its satellites.
Only well-vouched-for psycho political operatives can be continued
in their practice, and this only for the benefit of the government
or against enemy prisoners. Any effort to exclude psychiatrists
or psychologists from the ARMED SERVICES MUST BE FOUGHT. Any inquest
into the "suicide" or sudden mental derangement of any political
leader in a nation must be conducted only by psycho political operatives
or their dupes, whether Psycho politics is responsible or not.
Death and violence against persons attacking Communism in a nation
should be eschewed as forbidden. Violent activity against such
persons might bring about their martyrdom. Defamation, and the
accusation of insanity alone should be employed, and they should
be brought at last under the administration of psycho political
operatives, such as psychiatrists and controlled psychologists.CHAPTER
XVI IN SUMMARY In this time of unlimited weapons, and in national
antagonisms where atomic war with Capitalistic powers is possible,
Psycho politics must act efficiently as never before. Any and all
programs of Psycho politics must be increased to aid and abet the
activities of other Communist agents throughout the nation in question.
The failure of Psycho politics might well bring about the atomic
bombing of the Motherland. If Psycho politics succeeds in its mission
throughout the Capitalistic nations of the world, there will never
be an atomic war, for Russia will have subjected ail of her enemies.
Communism has already spread across one-sixth of the inhabited
world. Marxist Doctrines have already penetrated the remainder.
An extension of the Communist social order is everywhere victorious.
The spread of Communism has never been by force of battle, but
by conquest of the mind.
In Psycho politics we have refined this conquest to its last degree.
The psycho political operative must succeed, for his success means
a world of Peace. His failure might well mean the destruction of
the civilized portions of Earth by atomic power in the hands of
Capitalistic madmen. The end thoroughly justifies the means. The
degradation of populaces is less inhuman than their destruction
by atomic fission, for, to an animal who lives only once, any life
is sweeter than death.
The end of war is the control of a conquered
people. If a people can be conquered in the absence of war, the end
of war will have been achieved without the destruction of war. A
worthy goal. The psycho politician has his reward in the nearly unlimited
control of populaces, in the uninhabited exercise of passion, and
the glory of Communist conquest over the stupidity of the enemies
of the People. |
