Introduction

An Address by

A

Lavrent Pavlovich Beria

merican students at the Lenin University, I welcome your attendance at these

classes on Psychopolitics. Psychopolitics is an important if less known division of

Geopolitics. It is less known because it must necessarily deal with highly educat-

ed personnel, the very top strata of "mental healing."

By psychopolitics our chief goals are effectively carried forward. To produce a maxi-

mum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are

grown in chaos, distrust, economc depression, and scientific turmoil. At last a weary

populace can seek peace only in our offered Communist State, at last only communism

can resolve the problems of the masses.

A psychopolitician must work hard to produce the maximum chaos in the fields of

"mental healing." He must labor to increase the personnel and facilities of "mental heal-

ing" until at last the entire field of mental science is entirely dominated by Communist

principles and desires.

To achieve these goals the psychopolitician must crush every "homegrown" variety of

mental healing in America. Actual teachings of James, Eddy, and Pentecostal Bible faith

healers amongst your misguided people must be swept aside. 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 or remark. With the institutions for the

insane you have in your country prisons that can hold a million persons and can hold

them without civil rights or any hope of freedom. And upon these people can be prac-

ticed shock and surgery so that never again will they draw a sane breath. You must make

4

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 in 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. If and when we seize Vienna you shall then

have a common ground of meeting and can come and take your instructions as wor-

shipers of Freud along with other psychiatrists.

Psychopolitics 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 technolo-

gies you can even bring about insanity itself when the people seem too resistive.You can

change their loyalties by psychopolitics. Given a short time with a psychopolitician you

can alter forever the loyalty of a soldier fallen into 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 "treat-

ments" 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 psychopolitical procedures,

you must not rest, you must not eat or sleep, you must not stint one tiniest bit of avail-

able money or campaign against it, discredit it, strike it down and render it void. For by

an effective means 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 ene-

mies 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 campaigns about the terrors of society, by pretense as to your effec-

tiveness make your Capitalist himself, by his own appropriations, finance a large portion

of the quiet Communist conquest of the nation.

By psychopolitics 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 1

The History and

A

Definition of Psychopolitical

lthough 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 the 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 an old practice is

called Psychopolitics.

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 psychopolitical procedures are a natural outgrowth of practices as old

as Man, practices that are current in every group of men throughout the world. Thus, in

psychopolitical 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 eco-

nomic gains or indoctrination into the wishes and desires of the State.

Basically, man is an animal. He is an animal that 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 posses-

sion specialized techniques to direct the vagaries and energies of the animal man toward

greater efficiency in the accomplishment of the goals of the State.

Psychopolitics, in one form or another, has long been used in Russia, but the subject is

all but unknown outside the borders of our nation, save only where it is used for the

greater good of the nation.

6

The definition of Psychopolitics follows.

Psychopolitics 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 Psychopolitics breaks down into several categories, each a natural and

logical progression 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 organ-

ism, 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 gen-

eral subject of obedience. The next is the anatomy of the stimulus-response mechanisms

of man. The next is the subject of shock and endurance. The next is categories of experi-

ence. The next is the catalyzing and aligning of experience. The next is the use of drugs.

The next is the use of implantation. The next is the general application of Psychopolitics

within Russia. The next is the organization and use of counter-Psychopolitics. The next

is the use of Psychopolitics in the conquest of foreign nations. The next is psychopoliti-

cal organizations outside Russia, their composition and activity. The next is the creation

of slave philosophy in a hostile nation. The next is countering anti-psychopolitical activ-

ities abroad, and the final one, the destiny of psychopolitical rule in a scientific age. To

this might be added many subcategories, such as the nullification of modern weapons by

psychopolitical activity.

The strength and power of Psychopolitics cannot be overestimated, particularly when

used in a nation decayed by pseudo-intellectualism, where exploitation of the masses

combines readily with psychopolitical actions, and particularly where the greed of

Capitalistic or Monarchial regimes has already brought about an overwhelming inci-

dence of neurosis which can be employed as the groundwork for psychopolitical action

and a psychopolitical corps.

It is part of your mission, student, to prevent psychopolitical 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 Psychopolitics. No agent of Russia

could be even remotely effective without a thorough grounding in Psychopolitics, and so

you carry forward with you a Russian trust to use well what you are learning here.

Chapter 2

The Constitution of

M

Man as a Political Organism

an 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

on 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 rev-

olution. 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 cooperate 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, spreading 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 enti-

ties within the State must, all of them, cooperate for the greater good of the State lest the

State itself fall asunder and die, for with the disaffection of any single entity through dis-

trust 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 individ-

ual 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 would suffer in consequence.

Thus, the putrescent illness of Capitalist States, spreading their pus and bacteria into the

healthy countries of the world could 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 worldwide State.

8

The constitution of Man is such that the individual cannot function efficiently without

the alignment of each and every part and organ of his anatomy. As the average individ-

ual is incapable, in an uninformed and uncultured state, as witness the barbarians of the

jungle, so must he be trained into a coordination of his organic functions by exercise, edu-

cation, and work toward specific goals. We particularly and specifically note that the

individual must be directed from without to accomplish his exercise, education, and

work. He must be made to realize the need for this, for only then can he be made to func-

tion efficiently in the role assigned to him.

The tenets of rugged individualism, personal determinism, self-will, imagination, and

personal creativeness held by the masses are equally 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 reg-

ulation from without of all of its functions, including those of thinking, 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 when 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 worldwide State.

Just as we see the victor forced to rehabilitate the population of a conquered country at

the end of a war, 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 por-

tion of the State as a political organism are analogous. It is the mission of Psychopolitics

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 that might swerve the

group toward disaffection. In our own nation, where things are better managed and

where reason reigns above all else, it is not difficult to eradicate the self-willed bacteria

that 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. Psychopolitics makes it possible to remove that

9

part of his personality which, in itself, is playing havoc with the personâ€™s own constitu-

tion 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 no sickness in the State. But where the individual is troubled by conflict-

ing propaganda, where he is made the effect of revolutionary activities, where he is per-

mitted to think thoughts critical of the State itself, where he is permitted to question those

under whose natural charge he falls, we discover his constitution to suffer. We would

also discover, from this disaffection, the disaffection of his heart and of other portions of

his anatomy. So consistent 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 personâ€™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 was that

many subjects were not susceptible to its uses, and thus hypnotism has had to be

improved upon in order to increase the suggestibility of individuals who would not oth-

erwise be reached. Thus, any nation can experience growing well again, as a whole

organism, only by 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 rec-

ognized 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 are indigestible to the constitution of the individual itself, such as

loyalties to the â€˜petit bourgeoisieâ€™, the Capitalist, to anti-Russia ideas, we find the individ-

ual body peculiarly susceptible to sickness, and thus we can clearly understand the epi-

demics, 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

10

grant his loyalties in a correct direction. In that his loyalties are swerved and his obedi-

ence cravenly demanded by persons antipathetic to his general good, and in that those

persons are few, even in a Capitalist nation, the goal and direction of Psychopolitics 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 cooperation with the environment, and thus to insure to the

worker less warped leadership, less craven doctrine, and more cooperation with the ideas

and ideals of the Communist State.

The technologies of Psychopolitics are directed to this end.

11

Chapter 3

Man as an

M

Economic Organism

an is subject to certain desires and needs that are as natural to his beingness as

they are to that of any other animal. Man, however, has a propensity to exag-

gerate some of these beyond the bounds of reason. This is obvious through the

growth of leisure classes, pseudo-intellectual groups, the â€˜petit bourgeoisieâ€™, Capitalism,

and other ills.

It has been said, with truth, that one-tenth of a manâ€™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 these 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 he 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 him, 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, a glut that is 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 of 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. They

exploit the worker far beyond their own need as Capitalists.

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 insan-

12

ity ensues, whereby each individual is persuaded to possess more than he can use, and

to possess it even at the expense of his fellows.

There is, in economic balances, the other side. Too great and too long endured priva-

tion can bring about unhealthy desires, which, if allowed to be gratified, lead to the accu-

mulation of 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 is the lot of the masses, 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 by the technologies of Psychopolitics one were to dull this excessive greed in the few

workers who possess it, they 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 beyond his ability to tolerate the

extremes 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 psychopolitical 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 sustain 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 only

take advantage of the cycles of booms and depressions inherent in Capitalistic nations in

order to assert increasingly strong control over individual wills. A boom is as advanta-

geous 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 in order to

weaken their control of the state. During a depression one must only point out that it

came about 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 psychopolitics but

the psychopolitician must understand economic measures and the Communist goals con-

nected with them.

The masses must at last come to believe that only excessive taxation of the rich can

13

relieve them of the "burdensome leisure class" and can thus be brought to accept such a

thing as an income tax, a Marxist principle smoothly slid into the 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.

So successful was the income tax law, that had it been followed thoroughly, it could have

brought the United States and not Russia into the world scene as the first Communist

nation. But the virility and good sense of the Russian peoples won. It may be that the

United States will not 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

psychopolitics.

The Communist agent skilled in economics has as his task the suborning of tax agen-

cies 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 psychopolitical

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 psychopolitician. 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 psychopolitical 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 manâ€™s son

must be twisted and perverted and explained as 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" who could then by his advice or though the medium

of wife or daughter, guided by his 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 countryâ€™s powerful persons the psychopolitical 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 wis-

dom of our art. In truth, the Capitalist has never won a war. The psychopolitician is hav-

ing little trouble winning this one.

14

Chapter 4

State Goals for the

J

Individual and the Masses

ust as we would consider an individual to be ill, whose organs, each one, had a dif-

ferent goal from the rest, so we consider 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, Manâ€™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 from pain. Without the

threat of punishment there can be no gain. Without duress and command there can be

no alignment of bodily functions. Without rigorous and forthright control, the State can

achieve no goals.

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 it is not obeyed, a sickness will

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 interrupted, one discovers inevitably that there has been an

interposition of self-willedness, of greed, of idleness, or of rugged individualism and self-

centered initiative. The interruption of a State goal will be discovered to have been the

work of 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 in order to effect an improvement in the goals and gains of the whole.

The technologies of Psychopolitics are graduated upon a scale that starts somewhat

above the removal of the individual himself, concerning itself first with the removal of

those tendencies that bring about his lack of cooperation.

15

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 labors, have little time for idle speculation, which is good. But, above

them, unfortunately, there must be foremen in one or another position, any one of whom

might be sufficiently idle and lacking in physical occupation to cause some disaffecting

independence in his conduct and behavior.

Psychopolitics remedies this tendency toward disaffection when it supplants and over-

rides the common persuasions of the immediate superiors of the person in question.

16

Chapter 5

I

An Examination of Loyalties

f loyalty is so important in the economic and social structure, it is necessary to exam-

ine it further in and of itself.In the field of Psychopolitics, loyalty means simply "align-

ment". It means, more fully, alignment with the goals of the Communist State.

Disloyalty means misalignment, and more broadly, misalignment with the goals of the

Communist State.

When we consider that the goals of the Communist State are to the best possible bene-

fit of the masses, we can see that disloyalty, as a term, can include Democratic alignment.

Loyalty to persons not communistically indoctrinated would be quite plainly a misalign-

ment.

The cure for disloyalty is contained within the principles of alignment. All that is nec-

essary 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 circum-

stances hitherto distasteful in his existence will cease to exist.

A heart or a kidney in rebellion against the remainder of the organism could be seen as

being disloyal to the remainder of the organism. To cure that heart or kidney it is actual-

ly only necessary to bring its activities into alignment with the remainder of the body.

The technology of Psychopolitics adequately demonstrates the workability of this.

Mild shock of the electric variety can, and does, produce the recooperation of a rebellious

body organ. It is the shock and punishment of surgery which, in the main, accomplish

the realignment of a disaffection portion of the body, rather than the surgery itself. It is

the bombardment of x rays, rather than the therapeutic value of x rays that causes some

disaffected organs to once again turn their attention to the support of the general organ-

ism.

While it is not proven that electric shock has any therapeutic value, so far as making

the individual more sane, it is adequately proven that its punishment value will create in

the patient a more cooperative attitude. Brain surgery has no statistical data to recom-

mend it beyond its removal of the individual personality from amongst the paths of

organs that were not permitted to cooperate. These two Russian developments have

never pretended to alter the state of sanity. They are effective and workable only in intro-

ducing an adequate punishment mechanism to the personality to make it cease and desist

17

from its course and its egotistical control of the anatomy itself. It is the violence of the

electric shock and the surgery that is useful in subduing the recalcitrant personality,

which is all that stands in the road of the masses of the State. It is occasionally to be dis-

covered that the removal of the negative personality by shock and surgery then permits

the regrowth and reestablishment of organs that have been misdirected by that personal-

ity. In that a well-regulated state is composed of organism, not personalities, the need for

electric shock and brain surgery in Psychopolitics is clearly demonstrated.

The changing of loyalty consists, in its primary step, of the eradication of existing loy-

alties. This can be done in one of two ways. First, by demonstrating that previously exist-

ing loyalties have brought about perilous physical circumstances, such as imprisonment,

lack of recognition, duress, or 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 his previous loyalties have been wasted on an unworthy source. One of

the primary instances of this is creating circumstances that apparently derive from the

target of his loyalties, so as to rebuff the individual. Part of this 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., his 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 study and

concentration, the manufacture of false evidence, and a psychopolitical operatorâ€™s time.

In moments of expediency, of which there are many, the personality itself can be

rearranged by shock, surgery, duress, privation, and in particular, that best of psychopo-

litical techniques, implantation, using the technologies of neo-hypnotism. Such duress

must have in its first phase a defamation of the loyalties, and in its second, the implanta-

tion of new loyalties. A good and experienced psychopolitical operator, working under

the most favorable circumstances, can, by the use of psychopolitical 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

required by the situation. Mass neo-hypnotism can accomplish more or less the same

results when guided by an experienced psychopolitical 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 that has been effectively accomplished among the

less usable states of Russia.

It is obvious that loyalty is entirely lacking in that mythical commodity known as "spir-

itual quality." Loyalty is entirely a thing of dependence, economic or mental, and can be

18

changed by the crudest implementations. 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, shunning the person to whom loyal-

ty was first granted. The queasy insecurity of the masses in Capitalistic nations accounts

for this condition being more common in those states than it is 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 practiced on Earth today are degraded and debased, compared to communism. It is

then with a certain security that a psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical technolo-

gy. Any man who cannot be persuaded into Communist rationale is, of course, to be

regarded as somewhat less than sane, and we are, therefore completely justified in our

use of the techniques of insanity upon the non-Communist.

In order to change loyalties it is first necessary to identify the existing loyalties of the

individual. The task is made very simple in view of the fact that the 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 persons against whom psychopo-

litical technology is to be exerted, are already too faint to require eradication. It is gener-

ally only necessary to persuade with the rationale and overwhelming reasonability of

communism to have the person grant his loyalty to the Russian State. However, guided

only by the importance of the subject, no excessive amount of time should be expended

upon the individual before resorting to emotional duress, electric shock, or brain surgery,

should Communist propaganda persuasion fail. In the case of a very important person,

it may be necessary to utilize the more delicate technologies of Psychopolitics so as to

keep the person himself, and his associates, ignorant of the operation. In this case a sim-

ple implantation is used, with a maximum duress and command value.

Only the most skilled psychopolitical operator should be employed on the case of a

very important person, for any bungling might reveal the tampering with his mental

processes. It is highly recommended, if there is any doubt whatever about the success of

an operation against an important person, to select as a psychopolitical target persons in

his vicinity with 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 loy-

alty of a very important person one must place at his side a constant pleader who intro-

duces 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.

19

By the use of various drugs, it is, in this modern age, and well within the realm of psy-

chopolitical reality, entirely too easy to bring about a state of severe neurosis or insanity

in the wife or children, and thus pass them, with the 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 psychopolitical operator, who then in his own laboratory, without restraint or

fear of investigation or censure, can, with electric shock, surgery, sexual attack, drugs, or

other useful means, degrade or entirely alter the personality of a family member, and cre-

ate in that person a psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical operator.

Usually when the Party has no real interest in the activities or decisions of the impor-

tant person, but merely wishes to remove him from effective action, the attention of the

psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical

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 way of Communist goals, it is usu-

ally best to occasion a mild neurosis in the person by any available means, and then hav-

ing carefully given him a history of mental imbalance, to see to it that he disposes of him-

self by suicide, or to bring about his demise in such a way as to resemble suicide.

Psychopolitical operators have handled such situations skillfully tens of thousands of

times within and without Russia.

It is a firm principle of Psychopolitics that the person to be destroyed must be involved

at first or secondhand in the stigma of insanity, and must have been placed in contact

with psychopolitical 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 per-

sons' reputations and is held there firmly by bringing about irrational acts, either his own

or those of persons in his vicinity. Such an activity can be classified as a partial destruc-

tion of alignment, and if this destruction is carried forward to its furthest extent the mis-

alignment within the subject of all loyalties can be considered to be complete, and align-

ment of new loyalties can be embarked upon safely. By bringing about insanity or sui-

cide on the part of the wife of an important political personage, a sufficient misalignment

has been instigated to change his attitude. And this, carefully reinforced and assisted by

psychopolitical implantation, can begin the rebuilding of his loyalties, but now they will

be slanted in a more proper and fitting direction.

Another reason for the alignment of psychopolitical activities with the misalignment of

insanity is that insanity, itself, is a despised and disgraced state, and anything connected

with it is lightly viewed. Thus, a psychopolitical operator, working in the vicinity of an

insane person, can refute and disprove any accusations made against him by demonstrat-

20

ing that the family itself is tainted with mental imbalance. This strategy is surprisingly

effective in capitalistic countries where insanity is so thoroughly feared that no one

would dream of investigating any circumstances in its vicinity.

Psychopolitical propaganda works constantly and must work constantly to increase

and build up this aura of mystery surrounding insanity, and must emphasize the horror

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.

Just 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 common human reaction to insanity, through

keeping the subject of insanity, itself, forever before the public eye, and then, by utilizing

this reaction to cause 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 psychopolitician is to make an attack

upon communism and insanity synonymous. It should become the definition of insani-

ty, of the paranoid variety, that "A paranoid believes he is being attacked by

Communists." Thus, the support of the individual so attacking communism will fall

away and wither.

Instead of executing national leaders, we should arrange suicide for them under cir-

cumstances that bring their demise into question. In this way we can select out all oppo-

sition to the Communist extension into the social orders of the world, and render popu-

laces who would oppose us leaderless, thus bringing about a state of chaos or misalign-

ment into which we can easily thrust the clear and forceful doctrines of communism.

The cleverness of our attack in this field of Psychopolitics is sufficient to escape 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 psy-

chotherapy are too devious for common understanding, an entire revolution can be

effected without the suspicion of a populace until it is an accomplished fact.

As insanity is the maximum misalignment, it constitutes the most effective weapon in

the severance of loyalties to leaders and old social orders. Thus, it is of the utmost impor-

tance that psychopolitical operatives infiltrate the healing arts of a nation marked for con-

quest, and bring from that quarter continuous pressure against the population and the

government until at last the conquest is effected. This is the object and goal of

Psychopolitics itself.

21

In rearranging loyalties we must have 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 children wherev-

er possible by the State. The next loyalty is to his friends and local environment. This is

destroyed by lowering his trust through bringing about rumors concerning him, alleged-

ly perpetrated 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 that

should exist once the state is founded as a Communist State. To destroy loyalty to the

State all manner of restrictions on youth must be put into effect so as to disenfranchise

them as members of the capitalist state and, by promises of a better lot under commu-

nism, 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 and fostering juvenile delinquency, thus forc-

ing upon the state all manner of practices to divorce the child from the family, will in the

end create the chaos so necessary to communism.

Under the saccharine guise of assistance to them, rigorous child labor laws are the best

means to deny the child any rights in a 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 economically secure, the child can be driven to revolt in

his teens, and delinquency will ensue.

By making drugs of various kinds readily available, by giving the teenager alcohol, by

praising his wildness, by stimulating him with sex literature and advertising to him or

her practices taught at the Sexpol, the psychopolitical operator can create the necessary

attitude of chaos, idleness, and worthlessness that will be the matrix to give the teenager

complete freedom everywhereâ€”communism.

Should it be possible to continue conscription beyond any reasonable time by promot-

ing unpopular wars and other means, the draft can always stand as a further barrier to

the progress of youth in life by destroying any immediate hope of participating in his

nationâ€™s civil life.

By these means the reverence 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 achieve, Capitalismâ€™s short-termed view will never envision the length of the time

frame across which we can plan.

22

If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation we will

have won that country. Therefore, we must keep up a continual barrage of propaganda

abroad to undermine the loyalty of the citizens in general and the teenager in particular.

The role of the psychopolitical operator is very strong. He can, from his position as the

authority on the mind, advise all manner of destructive measures. He can teach overper-

missiveness as the means of dealing with the child at home. He can instruct, in an opti-

mum situation, the entire nation in how to handle childrenâ€”instructing them so that the

children, given no control or given no real home, can run wildly about without responsi-

bility for their nation or themselves.

The misalignment of the loyalty of youth to a capitalistic nation sets the proper stage

for a realignment of their loyalties with communism. Creating a greed for drugs, sexual

misbehavior, and uncontrolled freedom, while presenting this to them as a benefit of

communism, will easily bring about our chosen alignment.

In the case of strong leaders amongst youthful groups, a psychopolitical operator can

work in many ways to use, undermine, or discard that leadership. If it is to be used, the

character of the girl or boy must be carefully redirected into criminal channels and con-

trol 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 while harassing him in one way or another until he lands in the

hands of juvenile authorities. There, it can be hoped that a psychopolitical operator, by

reason of his child advisor status, can, in the security of the jail and protected by process-

es 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.

Guiding the activities of juvenile courts provides the psychopolitical operator with one

of his easiest tasks. A capitalistic nation is so filled with injustice in general that a little

more of the same 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 or boys in the "secu-

rity" of the jail or the detention home, and by appearing at crucial moment with flash

cameras or witnesses, one develops a whip adequate to direct all the future decisions of

that person when these are needed.

The assessment of youth cases by courts should be led further and further away from

law and closer and closer into "mental problems" until the entire nation thinks of "men-

tal problems" instead of criminals. This places vacancies everywhere in the courts, in the

offices of district attorneys, on police staffs, which can then be filled with psychopolitical

operators who then become the judges of the land by their influence and into whose

23

hands comes the total control of the criminal, without whose help a revolution can never

be accomplished.

By stressing this authority over the problems of youth and adults in courts, one day the

demand for psychopolitical 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 thus having a skilled interrogator near every techni-

cian or handler of secret war apparatus, the country, in event of revolution, [witness

Germany in 1918 and 1919] will find itself immobilized by its own Army and Navyâ€”

fully and entirely in Communist hands.

Thus the subject of loyalties and their realignment is in fact the subject of non-armed

conquest of an enemy.

Chapter 6

The General

O

Subject of Obedience

bedience is the result of force. Everywhere we look in the history of Earth we dis-

cover that obedience to new rulers has come about entirely through the exercise

of greater force on the part of those rulers than was exercised by the old ruler. A

population overridden, conquered by war, is obedient to its conqueror. It is obedient to

its conqueror because its conqueror has exerted more force.

Force comes in many forms. One of them is brutality. The most barbaric, unrestrained,

brutal use of force, if carried far enough, invokes obedience. Savage force, sufficiently

long deployed against any individual, will bring about his concurrence with any princi-

ple or order.

Force is the antithesis of humanizing action. It is so synonymous in the human mind

with savagery, 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 that has the spirit and courage to display inhumanity, savagery, bru-

tality, and an uncompromising lack of humanity, will be obeyed. Such a use of force is,

itself, the essential ingredient of greatness. We cite no less an example than our great

Communist Leaders, who, in moments of duress and trial, when faced by Czarist rule,

maintained over an enslaved populace, yet displayed sufficient courage never to stay

their hands in 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 that 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 come.

This is a proven principle. It is proven because it is the main principle that Man, the ani-

25

mal, has used since his earliest beginnings. It is the only principle that has been effective,

the only principle that 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 wielder of the blows.

The stupidity of Western civilization 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 to be effective. It is stated by Western authorities on

hypnosis that only twenty percent of the people are susceptible to hypnotism. This state-

ment is untrue. Given enough punishment, all people in any time and place are suscep-

tible to hypnotism. In other words, the addition of force makes hypnotism uniformly

effective. Where unconsciousness could not be induced by simple concentration upon

the hypnotist, unconsciousness can be induced by drugs, by blows, by electric shock, and

by other means. And where unconsciousness cannot be induced so as to make an

implantation or an hypnotic command effective, it is only necessary to amputate the

functioning portions of the animal manâ€™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 psychopolitician to be an expert in the administration

of force. Thus, he can bring about implicit obedience, not only on the part of individual

members of the populace, but on the entire populace itself and its government. He need

only take unto himself a sufficiently savage role, a sufficiently uncompromising inhuman

attitude, and he will be obeyed and believed.

The subject of hypnotism is a subject of belief. What can people be made to believe?

They can be made to believe anything that is administered to them with sufficient brutal-

ity and force. The obedience of a populace is as good as their belief in their leaders.

Despicable religions, such as Christianity, know this. They know that if enough faith

can be brought into being, a populace can be enslaved by the Christian mockeries of

humanity and mercy, and thus can 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 inhu-

manity, enough brutality and savageness to create implicit belief and therefore and there-

by implicit 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 shock of an emotional nature, and also by

extreme privation, as well as by blows and drugs.

In order to induce a deep state of hypnosis 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 sci-

26

ence 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 psychopolitical operative should at all times insist that these

treatments are therapeutic and necessary. He can, in all of his literature and his books,

list large numbers of pretended cures by these means.

But these "cures" need not actually produce any recovery from a state of disturbance.

As long as the psychopolitical operative or his dupes are the only authorities as to the dif-

ference between sanity and insanity, their word as to the therapeutic value of such treat-

ment will be the final word.

No layman would dare venture to pronounce 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 insani-

ty; otherwise it could be disclosed that the brutalities practiced in the name of treatment

are not therapeutic.

A psychopolitical operative has no interest in "therapeutic means" or "cures". The

greater the number of insane in the country where he is operating, the larger the number

of the populace coming under his view, the greater will become his facilities. Because the

problem is apparently mounting to uncontrollable heights, he can operate increasingly in

an atmosphere of emergency, which again excuses his use of such treatments as electric

shock, the prefrontal lobotomy, transorbital leucotomy, and other operations long since

practiced in Russia on political prisoners.

It is in the interest of the psychopolitical 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 main-

tained. Only in this way can the absolute judgment of the psychopolitical operative as to

the sanity or insanity of public figures be maintained without fear of contradiction. 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 psychopolitical operative, so that wherever tenets of the mind are

taught they will be hypnotically believed. The psychopolitical 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 through their educational processes, and so prepare

them for communism.

To be obeyed, one must be believed. If one is sufficiently believed, one will unques-

tioningly be obeyed.

27

When he is fortunate enough to get his hands on anyone close to a political or impor-

tant 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 orders immediately, completely, and unquestioningly, from the psychopolitical oper-

ative, and so be able to influence the actions of the person who is to be reached.

Bringing about this state of mind on the part of a populace and its leadersâ€”that a psy-

chopolitical operative must, at all times be believedâ€”could eventually be attended by

very good fortune. It is not too much to hope that psychopolitical operatives would then,

in a country such as the United States, become the most intimate advisors to political fig-

ures, 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 that would best serve Psychopolitics would be a continual

instance that certain authoritative levels of healing deemed this or that discipline to be

the only correct treatment of insanity. These treatments must always include a certain

amount of brutality. Propaganda should continue to stress the rising incidence of insan-

ity in a country. The entire field of human behavior, for the benefit of the country, can, at

length, be broadened into abnormal behavior. Thus, anyone indulging in any eccentrici-

ty, particularly the eccentricity of combating psychopolitics, could be silenced by the

authoritative opinion on the part of a psychopolitical operative that he was acting in an

abnormal fashion. This, with some good fortune, could bring the person into the hands

of the psychopolitical operative so as to forevermore disable him, or swerve his loyalties

by pain-drug hypnotism.

On the subject of obedience itself, the 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 produce no mental alert-

ness on his part.

It is in the interest of Psychopolitics that a population be told that an hypnotized per-

son will not do anything against his actual 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. The operative counts heavily on the general publicâ€™s faith in the more

benign perception of hypnotic power, for if it were to be generally known that individu-

als 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 favor of communism, would be too well understood. People

28

acting under deep hypnotic commands should be acting apparently of their own volition

and out of their own convictions.

The entire subject of psychopolitical hypnosis, Psychopolitics in general, depends for

its defense upon the continuous insistence on the part of authoritative sources that such

things are not possible. And, should anyone unmask a psychopolitical operative, the

operative should at once declare the whole thing to be a physical impossibility and use

his authoritative position to discount any accusation.

Should any writings of Psychopolitics come to view, it is only necessary to brand them

a hoax and laugh them out of existence. Thus, psychopolitical activities are easy to

defend.

When psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical operatives and their dupes. The ingredient of obedience is important,

for the complete belief in the psychopolitical operative renders his statement canceling

any challenge to psychopolitical operations irrefutable.

The optimum circumstance would be to occupy every position that would be consult-

ed by officials whenever the subject of Psychopolitics came under question. Thus, a psy-

chiatric advisor should be placed near to hand in every government operation. As all sus-

picions would then be referred to him, no action would ever be taken, and the goal of

communism could be realized in that nation.

Psychopolitics depends, from the viewpoint of the layman, upon its fantastic aspects.

These are its best defense, but above all else is implicit obedience on the part of officials

and the general public because of the role of the psychopolitical operative in the field of

healing.

29

Chapter 7

Anatomy of Stimulus-

M

Response Mechanisms of Man

an 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 behavior 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 remanifest 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 response. 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 action by some similarity in the circumstances of the environment to the inci-

dent of punishment.

The response mechanism need only be reminded of some small part of the stimulus to

call into view the mental image picture and cause the body to remember the pain con-

nected with the "incident of punishment". But so long as the individual obeys the picture,

30

or follows the commands of the stimulus implantation he is free from pain.

The behavior 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 obe-

dience 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

optimum obedience.

The ability of the organism to withstand punishment is great. Complete and implicit

response can be gained only by stimuli sufficiently brutal to injure the organism. The

Kossack method of breaking wild horses is a good example. The horse will not restrain

itself or take any of its riderâ€™s commands. The rider, wishing to break it, mounts and

smashes a flask of strong Vodka between the horseâ€™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 occasioned only when light punishments are administered. You often hear some

mawkish sentimentality about "breaking the spirit", but what you want here is an obedi-

ent horse, and sufficient brutality brings about an obedient horse.

The stimulus-response mechanisms of the body are such that the pain and the com-

mand 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 ade-

quate 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 con-

tent of the stimulus, the stimulus reacts to punish the individual. Thus, we have an opti-

mum circumstance, and one of the basic principles of Psychopolitics. 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 psychopolitical operative, he will still obey the psychopolitical oper-

ative, or, himself, become extremely ill and in agony. These principles, refined from the

earliest days of Pavlov, by constant and continuous Russian development, have, at last,

31

become of enormous use to us in our conquest.

Less modern and well-informed countries of Earth, lacking this mechanism, fail to

understand it, and coaxed into somnolence by our own psychopolitical 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, or denying them adequate food, produces 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 reexperience, because of his mental image picture of it, the electric shock. This highly

scientific and intensely workable mechanism cannot be overestimated in the practice of

psychopolitics.

Drugging the individual produces an artificial exhaustion, and if he is drugged, or

shocked and beaten, and given a string of commands, his loyalties can be definitely

rearranged. This is P.D.H., or Pain-Drug Hypnosis.

The psychopolitical operative in training should be thoroughly versed in the subject of

hypnotism and post-hypnotic suggestion. He should pay particular attention to the "for-

getter 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 practicing upon criminals and pris-

oners, 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 commands given while the subject

was in a drugged state of duress.

By much practice he can then learn the threshold dosages of various drugs, and the

amount of duress in terms of electric shock or addition drug shock necessary to produce

the optimum obedience to the commands. He should also satisfy himself that there is no

possible method known to Manâ€”there must be no possible method known to Manâ€”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 psychopolitical operative in training should then

experiment with duress in the absence of privation, administering electric shocks, beat-

ings, and terror-inducing tactics, accompanied by the same mechanisms as those

32

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 recognize possible recovery of memory of the commands implant-

ed. Purely for his own education, he should then satisfy himself as to the efficacy of brain

surgery in disabling the nonresponsive prisoner.

The boldness of the psychopolitical operative can be increased markedly by permitting

back into society persons who have been given pain-drug hypnosis and who have

demonstrated symptoms of rebelling or reinstating themselves in the society, if only to

observe how the label of "insanity" continues to discredit and discount the statements of

such persons.

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 practiced by the psychopolitical

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 produc-

tion of imbecility, idiocy, and discoordination on the part of the patient, and 4) the com-

parative lack of comment or public indignation occasioned by casualties in brain surgery.

Exercises in sexual attack on patients should be practiced by the psychopolitical oper-

ative to demonstrate the inability of the patient under pain-drug hypnosis to recall the

attack that has indoctrinated him with a lust for further sexual activity. Sex, in all ani-

mals, is a powerful motivator, and is no less so in the animal Man.

The occasioning of sexual liaison between females of a target family and well-chosen

males, under the control of the psychopolitical operative, must be demonstrated to be

possible with complete security for the psychopolitical operative, thus putting into his

hands an excellent weapon for the breaking down of familial relations and consequent

public disgrace for the psychopolitical 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 techniques of Psychopolitics.

The changes of loyalties, allegiances, and sources of command can be occasioned easi-

ly by psychopolitical technologies, and these should be practiced and understood by the

psychopolitical operative before he begins to tamper with psychopolitical targets of any

33

magnitude or importance.

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, by the insistence on future benefit to the patient, by an authori-

tarian pose and position, and by a careful cultivation and acquisition of governmental

positions in the country to be conquered.

Although the psychopolitical operative working in universities where he can direct

curricula of psychology classes is often tempted to teach some of the principles of

Psychopolitics to the susceptible students in the psychology classes, he is enjoined not to

do so.

He must limit his variations on the teaching of psychology to transmitting the tenets of

communism under the guise of psychology and do so in a way that will cause the stu-

dents to accept Communist tenets as their own idea or as modern scientific thinking. The

psychological operative must not at any time educate students thoroughly in stimulus-

response mechanisms, and must not impart to them, save those who are to become his

fellow workers, the exact principles of Psychopolitics. It is not necessary to do so, and it

is dangerous.

Chapter 8

Degradation,

D

Shock, and Endurance

egradation 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 insidi-

ously and much more effectively by consistent and continual defamation.

Defamation is the best and foremost weapon of Psychopolitics 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

functions of Communist Party Members, in general, not the psychopolitician.

The psychopoliticianâ€™s realm of defamation and degradation is Man himself. By attack-

ing the character and morals of Man himself, and by bringing about, through contamina-

tion of youth, a general degraded feeling, command of the populace is facilitated to a

marked degree.

There is a curve of degradation that 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 lately demonstrated that after seventy days of

filthy food, little sleep, and nearly untenable quarters, the least motion toward the pris-

oner will bring about a state of shock beyond his endurance threshold and will cause him

to receive hypnotically anything said to him. Thus, it is possible, in an entire stockade of

prisoners numbering into the thousands, to bring about a state of complete servile obedi-

ence, and without having to personally address each one, to pervert their loyalties and

implant in them adequate commands to ensure their future conduct, even after their

release to their own people.

35

By lowering the endurance of a person, a group, or a nation, and by constant degrada-

tion and defamation, a state of shock can be induced that will cause an adequate response

to any command.

The first thing to be degraded in any nation is the state of Man himself. Nations that

have high ethical tone are difficult to conquer. Their loyalties are hard to shake, their alle-

giance to their leaders is fanatical, and what they usually call their spiritual integrity can-

not be violated by duress. It is not efficient to attack a nation in such a frame of mind. It

is the basic purpose of Psychopolitics 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 pattern. He must think of himself as an

animal, capable only of animalistic reactions. 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 "scientif-

ic approach" to Man. Man must be consistently demonstrated to be a mechanism with-

out individuality, and the idea must be programmed into a populace under attack that

Manâ€™s individualistic reactions are the products of mental derangement. The populace

must be made to believe 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 be referred at

once to the treatment of a psychopolitician (licensed as a mental healer).

An optimum maneuver in such a program of degradation is to address itself to the mil-

itary forces of the nation, and disabuse them rapidly from any belief other than that the

disobedient one must be subjected to "mental treatment". The enslavement of a popula-

tion can fail only if these rebellious individuals are left to exert their individual influence

upon their fellow citizens, sparking them into rebellion, calling into account their past

nobility and ideals of freedom. Unless these restless individuals are stamped out and

given into the hands of psychopolitical operatives early in the game, there will be noth-

ing but trouble as the conquest continues.

The officials of the government, students, readers, partakers and providers of entertain-

ment, must all be indoctrinated, by whatever means, into the complete belief that the rest-

less, the ambitious, the natural leaders, are suffering from environmental maladjust-

ments, which can be healed only by recourse to psychopolitical operatives in the guise of

mental healers.

By thus degrading the general belief in the status of Man it is relatively simple, with

cooperation from the economic salients being driven into the country, to drive citizens

apart, one from another, to bring into question the wisdom of their own government, and

to cause them to beg actively for a takeover.

The educational programs of Psychopolitics must, at every hand, seek out the levels of

36

youth who will become the leaders in the countryâ€™s future, and educate them into a belief

in the animalistic nature of Man. This must be made fashionable. They must be taught

to frown upon ideas, upon individual endeavor. They must be taught, above all things,

that the salvation of Man is to be found only through his perfect adjustment to this envi-

ronment.

This educational program in the field of Psychopolitics can best be followed by bring-

ing about a compulsory training in some subject such as psychology or other mental prac-

tice, and seeing to it that each broad program of psychopolitical training is supervised by

a psychiatrist who is a trained psychopolitical operative.

As it seems that the church is the most ennobling influence in foreign nations, each and

every branch and activity of each and every church, must, one way or another, be discred-

ited. Religion must be made unfashionable by our demonstrating broadly, through psy-

chopolitical indoctrination, that the soul is nonexistent, and that Man is an animal. The

lying mechanisms of Christianity lead man to foolishly brave deeds. By teaching them

that there is a life hereafter, the church minimizes the liability of courageous acts during

this lifetime. And 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 opportunity.

The psychopolitical operative, in his program of degradation, should at all times bring

into question any family that is deeply religious, and, should any neurosis or insanity be

occasioned in that family, he should blame and hold responsible their religious connec-

tions 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 like-

ly to be responsible for their own sanity, and should more and more be relegated to the

ministrations of psychopolitical 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

become commonplace, 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 bombings, could cause the population to sue instantly for peace. It is a long and

arduous road for the psychopolitical 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 to run the

entire program. Having to hand, as we do, weapons with which to accomplish the goal.

37

Chapter 9

The Organization of

P

Mental Health Campaigns

sychopolitical operatives should at all times be alert to the opportunity to organize

mental health clubs or groups "for the betterment of the community." By thus invit-

ing the cooperation of the population as a whole in mental health programs, prop-

erly guided, can bring enough legislative pressure on the government to secure the posi-

tion of the psychopolitical operative, and to obtain for him government grants and facil-

ities, thus bringing a government to finance its own downfall.

Mental health organizations must carefully delete from their ranks anyone actually

proficient in the handling or treatment of mental health. Thus priests, ministers, actual-

ly trained psychoanalysts, good hypnotists, or trained Dianeticists must be excluded.

These, with some cognizance of the subject of mental aberration and its treatment, and

with some experience in observing the mentally deranged, if allowed in large numbers

within institutions, and if permitted to receive literature, would, sooner or later, become

suspicious of the activities carried on by the psychopolitical 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 allowed to

continue 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 dis-

credited thoroughly, as it has some efficacy, and, more importantly, its practitioners

understand, through long acquaintance with it, many of the principles of actual mental

health and aberration.

In the field of mental health, the psychopolitician must occupy, and continue to occu-

py, through various means, 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 discredit the program of the psychopolitical operative in his mental

health clubs.

City officials, socialites, and other outstanding individuals uninformed on the subject

of mental health, should be invited to full participation in the activity of mental health

groups. But the sole aim of this activity should be to finance better facilities for the psy-

chopolitical practitioner. To these groups it must be continually stressed that the entire

38

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 dis-

credited, and the officialdom of the area should be invited to stamp them out as danger-

ous.

When a hostile group dedicated to mental health is discovered, the psychopolitician

should have recourse to peyote, mescaline, and other drugs that cause temporary insan-

ity. He should send persons, preferably those well under his control, into the mental

health group, whether founded on Christian Science, Dianetics, or faith preaching, to

demonstrate their abilities upon this new person. These, in demonstrating their abilities,

will usually act with enthusiasm. Midway in the course of their treatment, a quiet injec-

tion of peyote, mescaline, or other drug, or an electric shock, administered by a psy-

chopolitician, will produce the symptoms of insanity in the patient that has been sent to

the target group. The patient thus demonstrating momentary insanity should immedi-

ately be reported to the police and taken away to some area of incarceration managed by

psychopolitical operatives, and so placed out of sight. Officialdom will thus come to

believe 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 organization are manifest when one realizes

that any government can be forced to provide facilities for psychopolitical operatives in

the form of psychiatric wards in all hospitals, in national institutions totally in the hands

of psychopolitical operatives, and in the establishment of clinics where youth can be con-

tacted and forced into better alignment with the purposes of Psychopolitics.

Such groups form a political force, which can then legalize any law or authority desired

by the psychopolitical operative.

The securing of authority over such mental health organizations is managed mainly by

appeal to education. A psychopolitical operative should make sure that those psychia-

trists 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 that can be

required, the safer the psychopolitical program, since no new group of practitioners can

arise to uncover and embarrass psychopolitical 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 psychopolitics, since it was the

home of Psychoanalysis. 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, where Psychopolitics is operating abroad, and the necessity "for further

39

study" by psychopolitical operatives in the birthplace of Psychoanalysis, makes periodic

contacts with headquarters possible. Thus, the word "psychoanalysis" must be stressed

at all times, and must be pretended to be a thorough part of the psychiatristâ€™s training.

Psychoanalysis profits greatly from its possession of a vocabulary, and a workability

that is sufficiently poor to avoid recovery of psychopolitical implantations. It can be

made fashionable throughout mental health organizations, 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

organizing mental health groups, the literature furnished such groups should be psycho-

analytical in nature.

If a group of persons interested in suppressing juvenile delinquency and in caring for

the insane (and indirectly the promotion of psychopolitical operatives and their actions)

can be formed in every major city of a country under conquest, the success of a psychopo-

litical program is assured, since these groups seem to represent a large segment of the

population. By continual exposure to the airing of 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 misarranging the youth and gaining their support for our goals at the same

time.

The communication lines of psychopolitics, if such mental health organizations can be

well established in a country, can thus run from its most prominent citizens to its govern-

ment. 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 nationâ€™s army, and whole government institutes manned entirely by psy-

chopolitical operatives, into which ailing government officials could be placed, to the

advantage of the psychopolitician.

If a psychiatric ward could be established in every hospital in every city in a nation, it

is certain that, at one time or another, every prominent citizen of the nation could come

under the ministrations of psychopolitical operatives or their dupes.

The validation of a need for psychiatric evaluations in the armed forced and security-

minded institutions of the nation under conquest could bring about a flow and fund of

information unlike any other program imaginable. If every pilot who flies a new plane

could come under the questioning of a psychopolitical operative, if the compiler of every

plan of military action could thus come under the review of psychopolitical operatives,

the simplicity with which information can be extracted by the use of certain drugs, with-

out the after-knowledge of the soldier, would entirely cripple any overt action toward

communism. If the nation could be educated into turning over to psychopolitical opera-

tives every recalcitrant or rebellious soldier, it would lose its best fighters. Thus, the

40

advantage of mental health organizations could be seen, for these, by exerting an appar-

ent pressure against the government (in the public interest, of course), can achieve these

ends and goals.

The financing of a psychopolitical 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 mil-

lions, unless the government itself is cooperating. The cooperation of the government

needed to obtain these vast sums of money is best obtained by the organization of men-

tal health groups composed of leading citizens who bring their lobbying abilities to bear

against the nationâ€™s government. Thus can many programs be financed that might oth-

erwise have had to be set aside by the psychopolitician.

The psychopolitical operative should exert consistent and continual effort toward

forming and continuing in action innumerable mental health groups.

The psychopolitical operative should also spare no expense in smashing out of exis-

tence, by whatever means, any actual healing group, such as that of acupuncture, in

China; such as Christian Science, Dianetics, and faith healing, in the United States; such

as Catholicism in Italy and Spain; and the practical psychological groups of England.

41

Chapter 10

T

Conduct Under Fire

he psychopolitician may well find himself under attack as an individual or a mem-

ber of a group. He may be attacked as a Communist through some leak in the

organization, or he may be attacked for malpractice. He may be attacked by the

families of people whom he has injured. In all cases his conduct in the situation should

be calm and aloof. He should have behind him the authority of many years of training,

and he should have participated fully in the building of defenses in the field of insanity

which give him the sole claim to expertise on conditions of the mind.

If he has not done his work well, an individual psychopolitician may be exposed by

hostile groups. These may call into question the efficacy of psychiatric treatment such as

shock, drugs, and general treatment. Not one of the cases cited need be real, but they

should be documented and printed in such a fashion as to form excellent court evidence.

When his allegiance is attacked, the psychopolitical operative should explain his con-

nection with Vienna on the grounds that Vienna is the place of study for all important

matters of the mind.

More importantly, he should laugh into scorn, by reason of his authority, the sanity of

the person attacking him, and if the psychopolitical archives of the country are adequate

many defamatory data can be unearthed and presented as a rebuttal, if needed.

Should anyone attempt to expose psychotherapy as a psychopolitical activity, the best

defense is calling into question the sanity of the attacker. The next best defense is author-

ity. The next best defense is a validation of psychiatric practices in terms of long and

impressive figures. The next best defense is the actual removal of the attacker by giving

him, or them, treatment sufficient to being about a period of insanity for the duration of

the trial. This, more than anything else, would discredit them, but it is extremely danger-

ous to manage.

Psychopolitics 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 in "unreasonable numbers", political capital might be

made of this by city officials or legislature. If the psychopolitical operative, himself, or if

his group has done a thorough job, defamatory data concerning the person, or connec-

tions, 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.

42

After a period of indoctrination, a country will expect insanity to be met by psychopo-

litical violence. Psychopolitical activities should become the only recognized treatment

for insanity. Indeed, this notion can be carried to such lengths that it could be made ille-

gal for electric shock and brain surgery to be omitted in the treatment of a patient.

In order to defend psychopolitical activities, a great complexity should be made of psy-

chiatric, psychoanalytical, and psychological technology. Any hearing should be bur-

dened 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.

Psychopolitical tests need not necessarily be in agreement, one to another, where they

are available to the public. Various types of insanity should be characterized by difficult

terms. The actual state should be made obscure, but this verbiage can insinuate 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 psychopolitical activity has managed

to become well-documented in magazine horror stories.

In case of a hearing or trial, the awfulness of insanity itself, its threat to society, should

be exaggerated until the court or committee believes that the psychopolitical operative is

vitally necessary in his post and should not be harassed by 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 defense. It should become well known that "only

the insane attack psychiatrists." The byword should be built into the society that para-

noia is a condition "in which the individual believes he is being attacked by

Communists." This defense will be found to be effective. Part of an effective defense

should include the societyâ€™s entire lack of any real psychotherapy. Any real therapy must

be systematically stamped out, since a real psychotherapy might possibly uncover the

results of psychopolitical activities.

Jurisprudence, in a capitalistic nation, is so clumsy that cases are invariably tried in

their newspapers. We have handled these things much better in Russia, and have uni-

formly brought people to trial with full confessions already arrived at (having been

implanted) before the trail takes place.

Should any whisper or pamphlet against psychopolitical activities be published, it

should be laughed into scorn, branded immediately as a hoax, and its perpetrator or pub-

lisher should be, at the first opportunity, branded insane, and by the use of drugs the

insanity should be confirmed.

43

Chapter 11

The Use of Psychopolitics

R

in Spreading Communism

eactionary 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, Lamarck, and the data of Dialectic Materialism into the textbooks of psychology,

to such a degree that anyone making a thorough study of 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 connected

with us, or who can be influenced by persons connected with us, the constant employ-

ment of such texts is guaranteed. They are given an authoritative ring, and they are care-

fully taught.

Constant pressure on 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 is

thus rendered relatively easy, and when the choice is given them whether to continue in

a capitalistic or a Communistic condition, they will see, suddenly, in communism, much

more reasonableness than in capitalism, which will now be seen by our own definition.

44

Chapter 12

A

Violent Remedies

s populaces, in general, understand that violence is necessary in the handling of

the insane, violent remedies seem to be reasonable. Starting from a relatively low

level of violence, such as straitjackets and other restraints, it is relatively easy to

encroach upon the public diffidence where violence is concerned by adding more and

more cruelty to the treatment of the insane.

By increasing the brutality of "treatment", the public expectation of such treatment will

be assisted, and the protest of the individual to whom the treatment is given is impossi-

ble, since immediately after the treatment he is incapable. The family of the individual

under treatment is already suspect for having had in its midst an insane person. The fam-

ilyâ€™s protest should be discredited.

The more violent the treatment, the more command value the psychopolitical operative

will accumulate. Brain operations should become standard and commonplace. While the

figures of actual deaths should be repressed wherever possible, it is nevertheless of no

great concern to the psychopolitical operative that many deaths do occur.

Gradually, the public should be educated in electric shock, first by being led to believe

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 sin-

gle electric shock treatment. Certainly they could not tolerate witnessing a prefrontal

lobotomy or transorbital 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 adding the psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical operative, 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

45

probably employ zombies, if given to them. Thus a large stratum of the society, particu-

larly that which was rebellious, can be reduced to the service of the psychopolitician.

By various means, a public must at least be convinced that insanity can only be met by

shock, torture, deprivation, defamation, discreditation, violence, maiming, death, pun-

ishment in all its forms. The society, at the same time, must be educated into the belief

that insanity is increasing within its ranks. This creates an emergency and places the psy-

chopolitician in a savior role that will eventually put him in charge of the society.

Chapter 13

The Recruiting

T

of Psycopolitical Dupes

he psychopolitical dupe is a well-trained individual who serves in complete obedi-

ence to the psychopolitical 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 can immediate-

ly result from the use of pain-drug hypnosis.

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 psychopolitical operatives.

Recruitment is effected by making the field of mental healing very attractive, financial-

ly and sexually.

The amount of promiscuity that can be induced in mental patients can work definitely

to the advantage of the psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical activities.

In that the psychopolitician has under his control the insane of the nation, most of them

with 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 with-

out question, if given the proper amount of punishment and implantation, the degrada-

tion of the countryâ€™s youth, the defamation of its leaders, the suborning of its courts

becomes childishly easy.

47

The psychopolitician has the advantage of naming as a delusory symptom any attempt

on the part of a patient to expose commands.

The psychopolitician 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, his practice

should be limited to contact with the families of the wealthy and the officials of the coun-

try.

The Smashing

Y

of Religious Groups

ou must know that until recent times the entire subject of mental derangement,

whether so light as simple worry or so heavy as insanity, was the sphere of activi-

ty of the church and only the church.

Traditionally, both in civilized and barbaric nations, the priesthood alone had complete

charge of the mental condition of the citizen. As a matter of great concern to the psy-

chopolitician this tendency still exists in every public in the Western World and scientif-

ic inroads into this sphere have 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 prob-

lem of the mind. Without this official insistence or even if it were to be relaxed for a

moment, the masses would grasp stupidly for the priest, the minister, the clergy, when-

ever mental conditions came into question. Today in Europe and America "scientific

practices" in the field of the mind would not last moments if not routinely enforced by

officialdom.

Care must be taken to hide the fact that the incidence of insanity has increased only

since these "scientific practices" started to be applied. Much mention must be made of

"the pace of modern living" and other myths as the cause of the increased neurosis in the

world. We care nothing about what causes it if anything does. But we must tolerate no

evidence of any kind to get out and drive the public back to the church. 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 the places where "scientific practices" prevail.

Given any slight encouragement, public support would instantly sweep all mental

healing back 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 men-

tal healing throughout the Christian world and well schooled priests are always at work

to draw the public back to the fold. Among Fundamentalist and Pentecostal groups heal-

ing campaigns are conducted, which, because of their results, win many to the cult of

Christianity.

49

In the field of pure healing, the Church of Christ Science of Boston, Massachusetts

excels in commanding the public favor and operates many sanitariums. All these must

be swept aside. They must be ridiculed and defamed and every cure they advertise must

be labeled a hoax. A full fifth of a psychopoliticianâ€™s time should be devoted to smash-

ing these threats. Just as in Russia we had to destroy the Church after many, many years

of the most arduous work, so we must destroy all faiths in nations marked for conquest.

Insanity must hound the footsteps of every priest and practitioner. The best testimoni-

als to his skill must be turned into gibbering madmen 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 that might devote itself to mental healing is vicious, bad, insani-

ty-causing, publicly hated and intolerable.

You must suborn and recruit any medical healing organization into collusion in this

campaign. You must appeal to their avarice and even their humanity to invite their coop-

eration 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 advi-

sors 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 endeavor so that they will never be able to

crawl out from under our thumb and discredit us.

We have battled in America since the turn of the century to bring to nothing any and

all Christian influences and we are succeeding. While today we seem to be kind to the

Christian remember that 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 will stay 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 who 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 defamation, wild lies, false evidence,

and constant propaganda to make him fight for you against the church or against any

practitioner.

50

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 seek 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 its flesh.

We must strike from our path any opposition. We must use for our tools any authori-

ty that comes to hand. And then at last, the decades having sped by, we can dispense

with all authority save our own and triumph in the greater glory of the Party.

51

Chapter 15

Proposals

T

That Must be Avoided

here are certain damaging movements that could interrupt a psychopolitical con-

quest. These, coming from some quarters of the country, might gain headway.

They 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

centuriesâ€”the priests. Any movement to place clergymen in charge of institutions

should be fought on the grounds of incompetence and the insanity brought about by reli-

gion. The most destructive thing that could happen to a psychopolitical program would

be to entrust the ministry with the care of the nationâ€™s insane.

If mental hospitals operated by religious groups are in existence, they must be discred-

ited and closed, no matter what the cost, for the actual figures of recovery in such insti-

tutions might be compared to them. This might lead to a movement to place the clergy

in charge of the insane. Every argument must be advanced early, to overcome any pos-

sibility of this ever occurring.

A countryâ€™s law must be made carefully to avoid granting any personal rights to the

insane. Any suggested laws or Constitutional Amendments that would make the harm-

ing of the insane unlawful, should be fought to the extreme, on the grounds that only vio-

lent measures can succeed in their treatment. If the law were to protect the insane, as it

normally does not, the entire psychopolitical program would quite possibly collapse.

Any movement to increase or place under surveillance the orders required to hospital-

ize the mentally ill should be discouraged. This should be left entirely in the hands of

persons well under the control of psychopolitical operatives. It should be done with min-

imum 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 required in the process-

es of commitment and release should be discouraged on the grounds of emergency. To

get around this, the best policy is to place a psychiatrist and a detention ward for the

mentally ill in every hospital in a land.

Any writings of a psychopolitical nature, accidentally revealing themselves, should be

52

prevented. All factual literature on the subject of insanity and its treatment should be

suppressed, first by actual security, and second by complex verbiage that renders in

incomprehensible. The actual figures on 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 psychopolitical operatives. At first, it should

be ignored, but if this is not possible, the entire weight of all psychopoliticians 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 effected 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 evi-

dence that would immediately rebut any effort to actually locate anyone who had ever

been helped by psychiatry or psychology.

If the Communistic connections of a psychopolitician should become known, it should

be attributed to his own carelessness, and he should, himself, be immediately branded as

eccentric within his own profession.

Authors of literature that seeks 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 infiltrated and corrupted. Left alone, they

might interrupt our campaigns to produce in youth delinquency, addiction, drunkenness,

and sexual promiscuity.

Communist workers in the field of newspapers and radio should be protected wherev-

er possible by completely disabling, through Psychopolitics, any persons consistently

attacking them. These, in their turn, should be persuaded to give all possible publicity to

the benefits of psychopolitical activities under the heading of "science".

No healing group devoted to the mind must be allowed to exist within the borders of

Russia or its satellites. Only well-vouched-for psychopolitical operatives can be allowed

to continue in their practice, and this only for the benefit of the government or to work

against enemy prisoners.

Any effort to exclude psychiatrists or psychologists from the armed services must be

53

fought.

Any inquest into the "suicide" or sudden mental derangement of any political leader in

a nation must be conducted only by psychopolitical operatives or their dupes, whether

Psychopolitics 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 ministrations of psychopolitical operatives, such

as psychiatrists and controlled psychologists.

54

Chapter 16

I

In Summary

n this time of unlimited weapons, and in national antagonisms where atomic war with

capitalistic powers is possible, Psychopolitics must act efficiently as never before.

Any and all programs of Psychopolitics must be increased to aid and abet the activities

of other Communist agents throughout the nation in question.

The failure of Psychopolitics might well bring about the atomic bombing of the

Motherland.

If Psychopolitics succeeds in its mission throughout the capitalistic nations of the

world, there will never be an atomic war, for Russia will have subjugated all of her ene-

mies.

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 Psychopolitics we have refined this conquest to

the nth degree. The psychopolitical 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 psychopolitician has his reward in the nearly unlimited control of populaces, in the

uninhibited exercise of passion, and the glory of Communist conquest over the stupidity

of the enemies of the People.

An Address by

A
                                       Lavrent Pavlovich Beria
       merican students at the Lenin University, I welcome your attendance at these
       classes on Psychopolitics. Psychopolitics is an important if less known division of
       Geopolitics. It is less known because it must necessarily deal with highly educat-
ed personnel, the very top strata of &quot;mental healing.&quot;

By psychopolitics our chief goals are effectively carried forward. To produce a maxi-
mum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are
grown in chaos, distrust, economc depression, and scientific turmoil. At last a weary
populace can seek peace only in our offered Communist State, at last only communism
can resolve the problems of the masses.

A psychopolitician must work hard to produce the maximum chaos in the fields of
&quot;mental healing.&quot; He must labor to increase the personnel and facilities of &quot;mental heal-
ing&quot; until at last the entire field of mental science is entirely dominated by Communist
principles and desires.

To achieve these goals the psychopolitician must crush every &quot;homegrown&quot; variety of
mental healing in America. Actual teachings of James, Eddy, and Pentecostal Bible faith
healers amongst your misguided people must be swept aside. They must be discredited,
defamed, arrested, stamped upon even by their own government until there is no credit
in them and only Communist-oriented &quot;healing&quot; remains. You must work until every
teacher of psychology unknowingly or knowingly teaches only Communist doctrine
under the guise of &quot;psychology.&quot; 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 or remark. With the institutions for the
insane you have in your country prisons that can hold a million persons and can hold
them without civil rights or any hope of freedom. And upon these people can be prac-
ticed shock and surgery so that never again will they draw a sane breath. You must make

4
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 in 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. If and when we seize Vienna you shall then
have a common ground of meeting and can come and take your instructions as wor-
shipers of Freud along with other psychiatrists.

Psychopolitics 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 technolo-
gies you can even bring about insanity itself when the people seem too resistive.You can
change their loyalties by psychopolitics. Given a short time with a psychopolitician you
can alter forever the loyalty of a soldier fallen into 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 &quot;treat-
ments&quot; may be discovered. It may occur that a public hue and cry may arise against
&quot;mental healing.&quot; 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 psychopolitical procedures,
you must not rest, you must not eat or sleep, you must not stint one tiniest bit of avail-
able money or campaign against it, discredit it, strike it down and render it void. For by
an effective means 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 &quot;mental healing&quot; to spread our doctrine and rid us of our ene-
mies 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 campaigns about the terrors of society, by pretense as to your effec-
tiveness make your Capitalist himself, by his own appropriations, finance a large portion
of the quiet Communist conquest of the nation.

By psychopolitics create chaos. Leave a nation leaderless. Kill our enemies. And bring
to Earth, through communism, the greatest peace Man has ever known.

Thank-you.

The History and

A
                             Definition of Psychopolitical
       lthough 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 the 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 an old practice is
called Psychopolitics.

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 psychopolitical procedures are a natural outgrowth of practices as old
as Man, practices that are current in every group of men throughout the world. Thus, in
psychopolitical 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 eco-
nomic gains or indoctrination into the wishes and desires of the State.

Basically, man is an animal. He is an animal that 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 posses-
sion specialized techniques to direct the vagaries and energies of the animal man toward
greater efficiency in the accomplishment of the goals of the State.
   Psychopolitics, in one form or another, has long been used in Russia, but the subject is
all but unknown outside the borders of our nation, save only where it is used for the
greater good of the nation.

6
The definition of Psychopolitics follows.
  Psychopolitics 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 &quot;mental healing.&quot;

The subject of Psychopolitics breaks down into several categories, each a natural and
logical progression 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 organ-
ism, 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 gen-
eral subject of obedience. The next is the anatomy of the stimulus-response mechanisms
of man. The next is the subject of shock and endurance. The next is categories of experi-
ence. The next is the catalyzing and aligning of experience. The next is the use of drugs.
The next is the use of implantation. The next is the general application of Psychopolitics
within Russia. The next is the organization and use of counter-Psychopolitics. The next
is the use of Psychopolitics in the conquest of foreign nations. The next is psychopoliti-
cal organizations outside Russia, their composition and activity. The next is the creation
of slave philosophy in a hostile nation. The next is countering anti-psychopolitical activ-
ities abroad, and the final one, the destiny of psychopolitical rule in a scientific age. To
this might be added many subcategories, such as the nullification of modern weapons by
psychopolitical activity.

The strength and power of Psychopolitics cannot be overestimated, particularly when
used in a nation decayed by pseudo-intellectualism, where exploitation of the masses
combines readily with psychopolitical actions, and particularly where the greed of
Capitalistic or Monarchial regimes has already brought about an overwhelming inci-
dence of neurosis which can be employed as the groundwork for psychopolitical action
and a psychopolitical corps.

It is part of your mission, student, to prevent psychopolitical 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 Psychopolitics. No agent of Russia
could be even remotely effective without a thorough grounding in Psychopolitics, and so
you carry forward with you a Russian trust to use well what you are learning here.

                                                                             Chapter 2

The Constitution of

M
                               Man as a Political Organism
         an 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
on 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 rev-
olution. 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 cooperate 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, spreading to other organs and the
glandular system, brings about the death of the &quot;individual&quot;. 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 &quot;individual&quot; man, the State is a collection of aggregations. The political enti-
ties within the State must, all of them, cooperate for the greater good of the State lest the
State itself fall asunder and die, for with the disaffection of any single entity through dis-
trust 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 individ-
ual 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 would suffer in consequence.
Thus, the putrescent illness of Capitalist States, spreading their pus and bacteria into the
healthy countries of the world could 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 worldwide State.

8
   The constitution of Man is such that the individual cannot function efficiently without
the alignment of each and every part and organ of his anatomy. As the average individ-
ual is incapable, in an uninformed and uncultured state, as witness the barbarians of the
jungle, so must he be trained into a coordination of his organic functions by exercise, edu-
cation, and work toward specific goals. We particularly and specifically note that the
individual must be directed from without to accomplish his exercise, education, and
work. He must be made to realize the need for this, for only then can he be made to func-
tion efficiently in the role assigned to him.

The tenets of rugged individualism, personal determinism, self-will, imagination, and
personal creativeness held by the masses are equally 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 reg-
ulation from without of all of its functions, including those of thinking, 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 when 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 worldwide State.
Just as we see the victor forced to rehabilitate the population of a conquered country at
the end of a war, 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 por-
tion of the State as a political organism are analogous. It is the mission of Psychopolitics
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 that might swerve the
group toward disaffection. In our own nation, where things are better managed and
where reason reigns above all else, it is not difficult to eradicate the self-willed bacteria
that 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. Psychopolitics makes it possible to remove that

9
part of his personality which, in itself, is playing havoc with the personâ€™s own constitu-
tion 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 no sickness in the State. But where the individual is troubled by conflict-
ing propaganda, where he is made the effect of revolutionary activities, where he is per-
mitted to think thoughts critical of the State itself, where he is permitted to question those
under whose natural charge he falls, we discover his constitution to suffer. We would
also discover, from this disaffection, the disaffection of his heart and of other portions of
his anatomy. So consistent 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 personâ€™s group unit.

There are those who foolishly have embarked upon some spiritual Alice-in-
Wonderland voyage into what they call the &quot;subconscious&quot; or the &quot;unconscious&quot; mind,
and who under the guise of &quot;psychotherapy&quot; 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 was that
many subjects were not susceptible to its uses, and thus hypnotism has had to be
improved upon in order to increase the suggestibility of individuals who would not oth-
erwise be reached. Thus, any nation can experience growing well again, as a whole
organism, only by 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 rec-
ognized 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 are indigestible to the constitution of the individual itself, such as
loyalties to the â€˜petit bourgeoisieâ€™, the Capitalist, to anti-Russia ideas, we find the individ-
ual body peculiarly susceptible to sickness, and thus we can clearly understand the epi-
demics, 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

10
grant his loyalties in a correct direction. In that his loyalties are swerved and his obedi-
ence cravenly demanded by persons antipathetic to his general good, and in that those
persons are few, even in a Capitalist nation, the goal and direction of Psychopolitics 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 cooperation with the environment, and thus to insure to the
worker less warped leadership, less craven doctrine, and more cooperation with the ideas
and ideals of the Communist State.

The technologies of Psychopolitics are directed to this end.

Man as an

M
                                                Economic Organism
         an is subject to certain desires and needs that are as natural to his beingness as
         they are to that of any other animal. Man, however, has a propensity to exag-
         gerate some of these beyond the bounds of reason. This is obvious through the
growth of leisure classes, pseudo-intellectual groups, the â€˜petit bourgeoisieâ€™, Capitalism,
and other ills.

It has been said, with truth, that one-tenth of a manâ€™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 these 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 he 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 him, 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, a glut that is 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 of 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. They
exploit the worker far beyond their own need as Capitalists.
   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 insan-

12
ity ensues, whereby each individual is persuaded to possess more than he can use, and
to possess it even at the expense of his fellows.

There is, in economic balances, the other side. Too great and too long endured priva-
tion can bring about unhealthy desires, which, if allowed to be gratified, lead to the accu-
mulation of 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 is the lot of the masses, 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 by the technologies of Psychopolitics one were to dull this excessive greed in the few
workers who possess it, they 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 beyond his ability to tolerate the
extremes 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 psychopolitical 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 sustain 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 only
take advantage of the cycles of booms and depressions inherent in Capitalistic nations in
order to assert increasingly strong control over individual wills. A boom is as advanta-
geous 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 in order to
weaken their control of the state. During a depression one must only point out that it
came about 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 psychopolitics but
the psychopolitician must understand economic measures and the Communist goals con-
nected with them.
  The masses must at last come to believe that only excessive taxation of the rich can

13
relieve them of the &quot;burdensome leisure class&quot; and can thus be brought to accept such a
thing as an income tax, a Marxist principle smoothly slid into the 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.
So successful was the income tax law, that had it been followed thoroughly, it could have
brought the United States and not Russia into the world scene as the first Communist
nation. But the virility and good sense of the Russian peoples won. It may be that the
United States will not 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
psychopolitics.

The Communist agent skilled in economics has as his task the suborning of tax agen-
cies 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 psychopolitical
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 psychopolitician. 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 psychopolitical 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 manâ€™s son
must be twisted and perverted and explained as neurosis and then, assisted by a timely
administration of drugs or violence, turned into criminality or insanity. This brings at
once someone in &quot;mental healing&quot; who could then by his advice or though the medium
of wife or daughter, guided by his 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 countryâ€™s powerful persons the psychopolitical 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 wis-
dom of our art. In truth, the Capitalist has never won a war. The psychopolitician is hav-
ing little trouble winning this one.

State Goals for the

J
                                   Individual and the Masses
   ust as we would consider an individual to be ill, whose organs, each one, had a dif-
   ferent goal from the rest, so we consider 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, Manâ€™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 from pain. Without the
threat of punishment there can be no gain. Without duress and command there can be
no alignment of bodily functions. Without rigorous and forthright control, the State can
achieve no goals.

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 it is not obeyed, a sickness will
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 interrupted, one discovers inevitably that there has been an
interposition of self-willedness, of greed, of idleness, or of rugged individualism and self-
centered initiative. The interruption of a State goal will be discovered to have been the
work of 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 in order to effect an improvement in the goals and gains of the whole.
The technologies of Psychopolitics are graduated upon a scale that starts somewhat
above the removal of the individual himself, concerning itself first with the removal of
those tendencies that bring about his lack of cooperation.

15
  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 labors, have little time for idle speculation, which is good. But, above
them, unfortunately, there must be foremen in one or another position, any one of whom
might be sufficiently idle and lacking in physical occupation to cause some disaffecting
independence in his conduct and behavior.

Psychopolitics remedies this tendency toward disaffection when it supplants and over-
rides the common persuasions of the immediate superiors of the person in question.

16
                                                                              Chapter 5

I
                              An Examination of Loyalties
   f loyalty is so important in the economic and social structure, it is necessary to exam-
   ine it further in and of itself.In the field of Psychopolitics, loyalty means simply &quot;align-
   ment&quot;. It means, more fully, alignment with the goals of the Communist State.
Disloyalty means misalignment, and more broadly, misalignment with the goals of the
Communist State.

When we consider that the goals of the Communist State are to the best possible bene-
fit of the masses, we can see that disloyalty, as a term, can include Democratic alignment.
Loyalty to persons not communistically indoctrinated would be quite plainly a misalign-
ment.

The cure for disloyalty is contained within the principles of alignment. All that is nec-
essary 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 circum-
stances hitherto distasteful in his existence will cease to exist.

A heart or a kidney in rebellion against the remainder of the organism could be seen as
being disloyal to the remainder of the organism. To cure that heart or kidney it is actual-
ly only necessary to bring its activities into alignment with the remainder of the body.

The technology of Psychopolitics adequately demonstrates the workability of this.
Mild shock of the electric variety can, and does, produce the recooperation of a rebellious
body organ. It is the shock and punishment of surgery which, in the main, accomplish
the realignment of a disaffection portion of the body, rather than the surgery itself. It is
the bombardment of x rays, rather than the therapeutic value of x rays that causes some
disaffected organs to once again turn their attention to the support of the general organ-
ism.

While it is not proven that electric shock has any therapeutic value, so far as making
the individual more sane, it is adequately proven that its punishment value will create in
the patient a more cooperative attitude. Brain surgery has no statistical data to recom-
mend it beyond its removal of the individual personality from amongst the paths of
organs that were not permitted to cooperate. These two Russian developments have
never pretended to alter the state of sanity. They are effective and workable only in intro-
ducing an adequate punishment mechanism to the personality to make it cease and desist

17
from its course and its egotistical control of the anatomy itself. It is the violence of the
electric shock and the surgery that is useful in subduing the recalcitrant personality,
which is all that stands in the road of the masses of the State. It is occasionally to be dis-
covered that the removal of the negative personality by shock and surgery then permits
the regrowth and reestablishment of organs that have been misdirected by that personal-
ity. In that a well-regulated state is composed of organism, not personalities, the need for
electric shock and brain surgery in Psychopolitics is clearly demonstrated.

The changing of loyalty consists, in its primary step, of the eradication of existing loy-
alties. This can be done in one of two ways. First, by demonstrating that previously exist-
ing loyalties have brought about perilous physical circumstances, such as imprisonment,
lack of recognition, duress, or 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 his previous loyalties have been wasted on an unworthy source. One of
the primary instances of this is creating circumstances that apparently derive from the
target of his loyalties, so as to rebuff the individual. Part of this 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., his 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 study and
concentration, the manufacture of false evidence, and a psychopolitical operatorâ€™s time.

In moments of expediency, of which there are many, the personality itself can be
rearranged by shock, surgery, duress, privation, and in particular, that best of psychopo-
litical techniques, implantation, using the technologies of neo-hypnotism. Such duress
must have in its first phase a defamation of the loyalties, and in its second, the implanta-
tion of new loyalties. A good and experienced psychopolitical operator, working under
the most favorable circumstances, can, by the use of psychopolitical 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
required by the situation. Mass neo-hypnotism can accomplish more or less the same
results when guided by an experienced psychopolitical 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 that has been effectively accomplished among the
less usable states of Russia.

It is obvious that loyalty is entirely lacking in that mythical commodity known as &quot;spir-
itual quality.&quot; Loyalty is entirely a thing of dependence, economic or mental, and can be

18
changed by the crudest implementations. 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, shunning the person to whom loyal-
ty was first granted. The queasy insecurity of the masses in Capitalistic nations accounts
for this condition being more common in those states than it is 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 practiced on Earth today are degraded and debased, compared to communism. It is
then with a certain security that a psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical technolo-
gy. Any man who cannot be persuaded into Communist rationale is, of course, to be
regarded as somewhat less than sane, and we are, therefore completely justified in our
use of the techniques of insanity upon the non-Communist.

In order to change loyalties it is first necessary to identify the existing loyalties of the
individual. The task is made very simple in view of the fact that the 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 persons against whom psychopo-
litical technology is to be exerted, are already too faint to require eradication. It is gener-
ally only necessary to persuade with the rationale and overwhelming reasonability of
communism to have the person grant his loyalty to the Russian State. However, guided
only by the importance of the subject, no excessive amount of time should be expended
upon the individual before resorting to emotional duress, electric shock, or brain surgery,
should Communist propaganda persuasion fail. In the case of a very important person,
it may be necessary to utilize the more delicate technologies of Psychopolitics so as to
keep the person himself, and his associates, ignorant of the operation. In this case a sim-
ple implantation is used, with a maximum duress and command value.

Only the most skilled psychopolitical operator should be employed on the case of a
very important person, for any bungling might reveal the tampering with his mental
processes. It is highly recommended, if there is any doubt whatever about the success of
an operation against an important person, to select as a psychopolitical target persons in
his vicinity with 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 loy-
alty of a very important person one must place at his side a constant pleader who intro-
duces 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.

19
By the use of various drugs, it is, in this modern age, and well within the realm of psy-
chopolitical reality, entirely too easy to bring about a state of severe neurosis or insanity
in the wife or children, and thus pass them, with the 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 psychopolitical operator, who then in his own laboratory, without restraint or
fear of investigation or censure, can, with electric shock, surgery, sexual attack, drugs, or
other useful means, degrade or entirely alter the personality of a family member, and cre-
ate in that person a psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical operator.

Usually when the Party has no real interest in the activities or decisions of the impor-
tant person, but merely wishes to remove him from effective action, the attention of the
psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical
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 way of Communist goals, it is usu-
ally best to occasion a mild neurosis in the person by any available means, and then hav-
ing carefully given him a history of mental imbalance, to see to it that he disposes of him-
self by suicide, or to bring about his demise in such a way as to resemble suicide.
Psychopolitical operators have handled such situations skillfully tens of thousands of
times within and without Russia.

It is a firm principle of Psychopolitics that the person to be destroyed must be involved
at first or secondhand in the stigma of insanity, and must have been placed in contact
with psychopolitical 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 per-
sons' reputations and is held there firmly by bringing about irrational acts, either his own
or those of persons in his vicinity. Such an activity can be classified as a partial destruc-
tion of alignment, and if this destruction is carried forward to its furthest extent the mis-
alignment within the subject of all loyalties can be considered to be complete, and align-
ment of new loyalties can be embarked upon safely. By bringing about insanity or sui-
cide on the part of the wife of an important political personage, a sufficient misalignment
has been instigated to change his attitude. And this, carefully reinforced and assisted by
psychopolitical implantation, can begin the rebuilding of his loyalties, but now they will
be slanted in a more proper and fitting direction.

Another reason for the alignment of psychopolitical activities with the misalignment of
insanity is that insanity, itself, is a despised and disgraced state, and anything connected
with it is lightly viewed. Thus, a psychopolitical operator, working in the vicinity of an
insane person, can refute and disprove any accusations made against him by demonstrat-

20
ing that the family itself is tainted with mental imbalance. This strategy is surprisingly
effective in capitalistic countries where insanity is so thoroughly feared that no one
would dream of investigating any circumstances in its vicinity.

Psychopolitical propaganda works constantly and must work constantly to increase
and build up this aura of mystery surrounding insanity, and must emphasize the horror
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.

Just 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 common human reaction to insanity, through
keeping the subject of insanity, itself, forever before the public eye, and then, by utilizing
this reaction to cause 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 psychopolitician is to make an attack
upon communism and insanity synonymous. It should become the definition of insani-
ty, of the paranoid variety, that &quot;A paranoid believes he is being attacked by
Communists.&quot; Thus, the support of the individual so attacking communism will fall
away and wither.

Instead of executing national leaders, we should arrange suicide for them under cir-
cumstances that bring their demise into question. In this way we can select out all oppo-
sition to the Communist extension into the social orders of the world, and render popu-
laces who would oppose us leaderless, thus bringing about a state of chaos or misalign-
ment into which we can easily thrust the clear and forceful doctrines of communism.

The cleverness of our attack in this field of Psychopolitics is sufficient to escape 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 psy-
chotherapy are too devious for common understanding, an entire revolution can be
effected without the suspicion of a populace until it is an accomplished fact.

As insanity is the maximum misalignment, it constitutes the most effective weapon in
the severance of loyalties to leaders and old social orders. Thus, it is of the utmost impor-
tance that psychopolitical operatives infiltrate the healing arts of a nation marked for con-
quest, and bring from that quarter continuous pressure against the population and the
government until at last the conquest is effected. This is the object and goal of
Psychopolitics itself.

21
  In rearranging loyalties we must have 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 children wherev-
er possible by the State. The next loyalty is to his friends and local environment. This is
destroyed by lowering his trust through bringing about rumors concerning him, alleged-
ly perpetrated 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 that
should exist once the state is founded as a Communist State. To destroy loyalty to the
State all manner of restrictions on youth must be put into effect so as to disenfranchise
them as members of the capitalist state and, by promises of a better lot under commu-
nism, 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 and fostering juvenile delinquency, thus forc-
ing upon the state all manner of practices to divorce the child from the family, will in the
end create the chaos so necessary to communism.

Under the saccharine guise of assistance to them, rigorous child labor laws are the best
means to deny the child any rights in a 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 economically secure, the child can be driven to revolt in
his teens, and delinquency will ensue.

By making drugs of various kinds readily available, by giving the teenager alcohol, by
praising his wildness, by stimulating him with sex literature and advertising to him or
her practices taught at the Sexpol, the psychopolitical operator can create the necessary
attitude of chaos, idleness, and worthlessness that will be the matrix to give the teenager
complete freedom everywhereâ€”communism.

Should it be possible to continue conscription beyond any reasonable time by promot-
ing unpopular wars and other means, the draft can always stand as a further barrier to
the progress of youth in life by destroying any immediate hope of participating in his
nationâ€™s civil life.

By these means the reverence 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 achieve, Capitalismâ€™s short-termed view will never envision the length of the time
frame across which we can plan.

  If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation we will
have won that country. Therefore, we must keep up a continual barrage of propaganda
abroad to undermine the loyalty of the citizens in general and the teenager in particular.

The role of the psychopolitical operator is very strong. He can, from his position as the
authority on the mind, advise all manner of destructive measures. He can teach overper-
missiveness as the means of dealing with the child at home. He can instruct, in an opti-
mum situation, the entire nation in how to handle childrenâ€”instructing them so that the
children, given no control or given no real home, can run wildly about without responsi-
bility for their nation or themselves.

The misalignment of the loyalty of youth to a capitalistic nation sets the proper stage
for a realignment of their loyalties with communism. Creating a greed for drugs, sexual
misbehavior, and uncontrolled freedom, while presenting this to them as a benefit of
communism, will easily bring about our chosen alignment.

In the case of strong leaders amongst youthful groups, a psychopolitical operator can
work in many ways to use, undermine, or discard that leadership. If it is to be used, the
character of the girl or boy must be carefully redirected into criminal channels and con-
trol 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 while harassing him in one way or another until he lands in the
hands of juvenile authorities. There, it can be hoped that a psychopolitical operator, by
reason of his child advisor status, can, in the security of the jail and protected by process-
es 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.

Guiding the activities of juvenile courts provides the psychopolitical operator with one
of his easiest tasks. A capitalistic nation is so filled with injustice in general that a little
more of the same 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 or boys in the &quot;secu-
rity&quot; of the jail or the detention home, and by appearing at crucial moment with flash
cameras or witnesses, one develops a whip adequate to direct all the future decisions of
that person when these are needed.

The assessment of youth cases by courts should be led further and further away from
law and closer and closer into &quot;mental problems&quot; until the entire nation thinks of &quot;men-
tal problems&quot; instead of criminals. This places vacancies everywhere in the courts, in the
offices of district attorneys, on police staffs, which can then be filled with psychopolitical
operators who then become the judges of the land by their influence and into whose

23
hands comes the total control of the criminal, without whose help a revolution can never
be accomplished.

By stressing this authority over the problems of youth and adults in courts, one day the
demand for psychopolitical operators could become such that even the armed services
will use &quot;authorities on the mind&quot; 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 thus having a skilled interrogator near every techni-
cian or handler of secret war apparatus, the country, in event of revolution, [witness
Germany in 1918 and 1919] will find itself immobilized by its own Army and Navyâ€”
fully and entirely in Communist hands.

Thus the subject of loyalties and their realignment is in fact the subject of non-armed
conquest of an enemy.

The General

O
                                             Subject of Obedience
        bedience is the result of force. Everywhere we look in the history of Earth we dis-
        cover that obedience to new rulers has come about entirely through the exercise
        of greater force on the part of those rulers than was exercised by the old ruler. A
population overridden, conquered by war, is obedient to its conqueror. It is obedient to
its conqueror because its conqueror has exerted more force.

Force comes in many forms. One of them is brutality. The most barbaric, unrestrained,
brutal use of force, if carried far enough, invokes obedience. Savage force, sufficiently
long deployed against any individual, will bring about his concurrence with any princi-
ple or order.

Force is the antithesis of humanizing action. It is so synonymous in the human mind
with savagery, 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 that has the spirit and courage to display inhumanity, savagery, bru-
tality, and an uncompromising lack of humanity, will be obeyed. Such a use of force is,
itself, the essential ingredient of greatness. We cite no less an example than our great
Communist Leaders, who, in moments of duress and trial, when faced by Czarist rule,
maintained over an enslaved populace, yet displayed sufficient courage never to stay
their hands in 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 that 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 come.
This is a proven principle. It is proven because it is the main principle that Man, the ani-

25
mal, has used since his earliest beginnings. It is the only principle that has been effective,
the only principle that 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 wielder of the blows.

The stupidity of Western civilization 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 to be effective. It is stated by Western authorities on
hypnosis that only twenty percent of the people are susceptible to hypnotism. This state-
ment is untrue. Given enough punishment, all people in any time and place are suscep-
tible to hypnotism. In other words, the addition of force makes hypnotism uniformly
effective. Where unconsciousness could not be induced by simple concentration upon
the hypnotist, unconsciousness can be induced by drugs, by blows, by electric shock, and
by other means. And where unconsciousness cannot be induced so as to make an
implantation or an hypnotic command effective, it is only necessary to amputate the
functioning portions of the animal manâ€™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 psychopolitician to be an expert in the administration
of force. Thus, he can bring about implicit obedience, not only on the part of individual
members of the populace, but on the entire populace itself and its government. He need
only take unto himself a sufficiently savage role, a sufficiently uncompromising inhuman
attitude, and he will be obeyed and believed.

The subject of hypnotism is a subject of belief. What can people be made to believe?
They can be made to believe anything that is administered to them with sufficient brutal-
ity and force. The obedience of a populace is as good as their belief in their leaders.

Despicable religions, such as Christianity, know this. They know that if enough faith
can be brought into being, a populace can be enslaved by the Christian mockeries of
humanity and mercy, and thus can 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 inhu-
manity, enough brutality and savageness to create implicit belief and therefore and there-
by implicit 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 shock of an emotional nature, and also by
extreme privation, as well as by blows and drugs.

In order to induce a deep state of hypnosis 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 sci-

26
ence 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 psychopolitical operative should at all times insist that these
treatments are therapeutic and necessary. He can, in all of his literature and his books,
list large numbers of pretended cures by these means.

But these &quot;cures&quot; need not actually produce any recovery from a state of disturbance.
As long as the psychopolitical operative or his dupes are the only authorities as to the dif-
ference between sanity and insanity, their word as to the therapeutic value of such treat-
ment will be the final word.

No layman would dare venture to pronounce 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 insani-
ty; otherwise it could be disclosed that the brutalities practiced in the name of treatment
are not therapeutic.

A psychopolitical operative has no interest in &quot;therapeutic means&quot; or &quot;cures&quot;. The
greater the number of insane in the country where he is operating, the larger the number
of the populace coming under his view, the greater will become his facilities. Because the
problem is apparently mounting to uncontrollable heights, he can operate increasingly in
an atmosphere of emergency, which again excuses his use of such treatments as electric
shock, the prefrontal lobotomy, transorbital leucotomy, and other operations long since
practiced in Russia on political prisoners.

It is in the interest of the psychopolitical 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 main-
tained. Only in this way can the absolute judgment of the psychopolitical operative as to
the sanity or insanity of public figures be maintained without fear of contradiction. 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 psychopolitical operative, so that wherever tenets of the mind are
taught they will be hypnotically believed. The psychopolitical 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 through their educational processes, and so prepare
them for communism.

To be obeyed, one must be believed. If one is sufficiently believed, one will unques-
tioningly be obeyed.

27
  When he is fortunate enough to get his hands on anyone close to a political or impor-
tant 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 orders immediately, completely, and unquestioningly, from the psychopolitical oper-
ative, and so be able to influence the actions of the person who is to be reached.

Bringing about this state of mind on the part of a populace and its leadersâ€”that a psy-
chopolitical operative must, at all times be believedâ€”could eventually be attended by
very good fortune. It is not too much to hope that psychopolitical operatives would then,
in a country such as the United States, become the most intimate advisors to political fig-
ures, 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 that would best serve Psychopolitics would be a continual
instance that certain authoritative levels of healing deemed this or that discipline to be
the only correct treatment of insanity. These treatments must always include a certain
amount of brutality. Propaganda should continue to stress the rising incidence of insan-
ity in a country. The entire field of human behavior, for the benefit of the country, can, at
length, be broadened into abnormal behavior. Thus, anyone indulging in any eccentrici-
ty, particularly the eccentricity of combating psychopolitics, could be silenced by the
authoritative opinion on the part of a psychopolitical operative that he was acting in an
abnormal fashion. This, with some good fortune, could bring the person into the hands
of the psychopolitical operative so as to forevermore disable him, or swerve his loyalties
by pain-drug hypnotism.

On the subject of obedience itself, the 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 produce no mental alert-
ness on his part.

It is in the interest of Psychopolitics that a population be told that an hypnotized per-
son will not do anything against his actual 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. The operative counts heavily on the general publicâ€™s faith in the more
benign perception of hypnotic power, for if it were to be generally known that individu-
als 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 favor of communism, would be too well understood. People

28
acting under deep hypnotic commands should be acting apparently of their own volition
and out of their own convictions.

The entire subject of psychopolitical hypnosis, Psychopolitics in general, depends for
its defense upon the continuous insistence on the part of authoritative sources that such
things are not possible. And, should anyone unmask a psychopolitical operative, the
operative should at once declare the whole thing to be a physical impossibility and use
his authoritative position to discount any accusation.

Should any writings of Psychopolitics come to view, it is only necessary to brand them
a hoax and laugh them out of existence. Thus, psychopolitical activities are easy to
defend.

When psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical operatives and their dupes. The ingredient of obedience is important,
for the complete belief in the psychopolitical operative renders his statement canceling
any challenge to psychopolitical operations irrefutable.

The optimum circumstance would be to occupy every position that would be consult-
ed by officials whenever the subject of Psychopolitics came under question. Thus, a psy-
chiatric advisor should be placed near to hand in every government operation. As all sus-
picions would then be referred to him, no action would ever be taken, and the goal of
communism could be realized in that nation.

Psychopolitics depends, from the viewpoint of the layman, upon its fantastic aspects.
These are its best defense, but above all else is implicit obedience on the part of officials
and the general public because of the role of the psychopolitical operative in the field of
healing.

Anatomy of Stimulus-

M
                          Response Mechanisms of Man
         an 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 behavior 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 remanifest 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 response. 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 action by some similarity in the circumstances of the environment to the inci-
dent of punishment.

The response mechanism need only be reminded of some small part of the stimulus to
call into view the mental image picture and cause the body to remember the pain con-
nected with the &quot;incident of punishment&quot;. But so long as the individual obeys the picture,

30
or follows the commands of the stimulus implantation he is free from pain.

The behavior 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 obe-
dience 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
optimum obedience.

The ability of the organism to withstand punishment is great. Complete and implicit
response can be gained only by stimuli sufficiently brutal to injure the organism. The
Kossack method of breaking wild horses is a good example. The horse will not restrain
itself or take any of its riderâ€™s commands. The rider, wishing to break it, mounts and
smashes a flask of strong Vodka between the horseâ€™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 occasioned only when light punishments are administered. You often hear some
mawkish sentimentality about &quot;breaking the spirit&quot;, but what you want here is an obedi-
ent horse, and sufficient brutality brings about an obedient horse.

The stimulus-response mechanisms of the body are such that the pain and the com-
mand 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 ade-
quate 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 con-
tent of the stimulus, the stimulus reacts to punish the individual. Thus, we have an opti-
mum circumstance, and one of the basic principles of Psychopolitics. 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 psychopolitical operative, he will still obey the psychopolitical oper-
ative, or, himself, become extremely ill and in agony. These principles, refined from the
earliest days of Pavlov, by constant and continuous Russian development, have, at last,

31
become of enormous use to us in our conquest.

Less modern and well-informed countries of Earth, lacking this mechanism, fail to
understand it, and coaxed into somnolence by our own psychopolitical 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, or denying them adequate food, produces 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 reexperience, because of his mental image picture of it, the electric shock. This highly
scientific and intensely workable mechanism cannot be overestimated in the practice of
psychopolitics.

Drugging the individual produces an artificial exhaustion, and if he is drugged, or
shocked and beaten, and given a string of commands, his loyalties can be definitely
rearranged. This is P.D.H., or Pain-Drug Hypnosis.

The psychopolitical operative in training should be thoroughly versed in the subject of
hypnotism and post-hypnotic suggestion. He should pay particular attention to the &quot;for-
getter mechanism&quot; 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 &quot;awakened&quot; from his hypnotic trance.

Having mastered these details fully, he should, by practicing upon criminals and pris-
oners, 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 &quot;awakened&quot;, and should give him the stimulus-
response signal which would throw into action the commands given while the subject
was in a drugged state of duress.

By much practice he can then learn the threshold dosages of various drugs, and the
amount of duress in terms of electric shock or addition drug shock necessary to produce
the optimum obedience to the commands. He should also satisfy himself that there is no
possible method known to Manâ€”there must be no possible method known to Manâ€”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 psychopolitical operative in training should then
experiment with duress in the absence of privation, administering electric shocks, beat-
ings, and terror-inducing tactics, accompanied by the same mechanisms as those

32
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 recognize possible recovery of memory of the commands implant-
ed. Purely for his own education, he should then satisfy himself as to the efficacy of brain
surgery in disabling the nonresponsive prisoner.

The boldness of the psychopolitical operative can be increased markedly by permitting
back into society persons who have been given pain-drug hypnosis and who have
demonstrated symptoms of rebelling or reinstating themselves in the society, if only to
observe how the label of &quot;insanity&quot; continues to discredit and discount the statements of
such persons.

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 practiced by the psychopolitical
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 produc-
tion of imbecility, idiocy, and discoordination on the part of the patient, and 4) the com-
parative lack of comment or public indignation occasioned by casualties in brain surgery.

Exercises in sexual attack on patients should be practiced by the psychopolitical oper-
ative to demonstrate the inability of the patient under pain-drug hypnosis to recall the
attack that has indoctrinated him with a lust for further sexual activity. Sex, in all ani-
mals, is a powerful motivator, and is no less so in the animal Man.

The occasioning of sexual liaison between females of a target family and well-chosen
males, under the control of the psychopolitical operative, must be demonstrated to be
possible with complete security for the psychopolitical operative, thus putting into his
hands an excellent weapon for the breaking down of familial relations and consequent
public disgrace for the psychopolitical 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 techniques of Psychopolitics.

The changes of loyalties, allegiances, and sources of command can be occasioned easi-
ly by psychopolitical technologies, and these should be practiced and understood by the
psychopolitical operative before he begins to tamper with psychopolitical targets of any

33
magnitude or importance.
  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, by the insistence on future benefit to the patient, by an authori-
tarian pose and position, and by a careful cultivation and acquisition of governmental
positions in the country to be conquered.

Although the psychopolitical operative working in universities where he can direct
curricula of psychology classes is often tempted to teach some of the principles of
Psychopolitics to the susceptible students in the psychology classes, he is enjoined not to
do so.

He must limit his variations on the teaching of psychology to transmitting the tenets of
communism under the guise of psychology and do so in a way that will cause the stu-
dents to accept Communist tenets as their own idea or as modern scientific thinking. The
psychological operative must not at any time educate students thoroughly in stimulus-
response mechanisms, and must not impart to them, save those who are to become his
fellow workers, the exact principles of Psychopolitics. It is not necessary to do so, and it
is dangerous.

Degradation,

D
                                           Shock, and Endurance
       egradation 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 insidi-
ously and much more effectively by consistent and continual defamation.

Defamation is the best and foremost weapon of Psychopolitics 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
functions of Communist Party Members, in general, not the psychopolitician.

The psychopoliticianâ€™s realm of defamation and degradation is Man himself. By attack-
ing the character and morals of Man himself, and by bringing about, through contamina-
tion of youth, a general degraded feeling, command of the populace is facilitated to a
marked degree.

There is a curve of degradation that 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 lately demonstrated that after seventy days of
filthy food, little sleep, and nearly untenable quarters, the least motion toward the pris-
oner will bring about a state of shock beyond his endurance threshold and will cause him
to receive hypnotically anything said to him. Thus, it is possible, in an entire stockade of
prisoners numbering into the thousands, to bring about a state of complete servile obedi-
ence, and without having to personally address each one, to pervert their loyalties and
implant in them adequate commands to ensure their future conduct, even after their
release to their own people.

35
   By lowering the endurance of a person, a group, or a nation, and by constant degrada-
tion and defamation, a state of shock can be induced that will cause an adequate response
to any command.

The first thing to be degraded in any nation is the state of Man himself. Nations that
have high ethical tone are difficult to conquer. Their loyalties are hard to shake, their alle-
giance to their leaders is fanatical, and what they usually call their spiritual integrity can-
not be violated by duress. It is not efficient to attack a nation in such a frame of mind. It
is the basic purpose of Psychopolitics 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 pattern. He must think of himself as an
animal, capable only of animalistic reactions. He must no longer think of himself, or of
his fellows, as capable of &quot;spiritual endurance&quot;, or nobility.

The best approach toward degradation in its first stages is the propaganda of &quot;scientif-
ic approach&quot; to Man. Man must be consistently demonstrated to be a mechanism with-
out individuality, and the idea must be programmed into a populace under attack that
Manâ€™s individualistic reactions are the products of mental derangement. The populace
must be made to believe 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 be referred at
once to the treatment of a psychopolitician (licensed as a mental healer).

An optimum maneuver in such a program of degradation is to address itself to the mil-
itary forces of the nation, and disabuse them rapidly from any belief other than that the
disobedient one must be subjected to &quot;mental treatment&quot;. The enslavement of a popula-
tion can fail only if these rebellious individuals are left to exert their individual influence
upon their fellow citizens, sparking them into rebellion, calling into account their past
nobility and ideals of freedom. Unless these restless individuals are stamped out and
given into the hands of psychopolitical operatives early in the game, there will be noth-
ing but trouble as the conquest continues.

The officials of the government, students, readers, partakers and providers of entertain-
ment, must all be indoctrinated, by whatever means, into the complete belief that the rest-
less, the ambitious, the natural leaders, are suffering from environmental maladjust-
ments, which can be healed only by recourse to psychopolitical operatives in the guise of
mental healers.

By thus degrading the general belief in the status of Man it is relatively simple, with
cooperation from the economic salients being driven into the country, to drive citizens
apart, one from another, to bring into question the wisdom of their own government, and
to cause them to beg actively for a takeover.

The educational programs of Psychopolitics must, at every hand, seek out the levels of

36
youth who will become the leaders in the countryâ€™s future, and educate them into a belief
in the animalistic nature of Man. This must be made fashionable. They must be taught
to frown upon ideas, upon individual endeavor. They must be taught, above all things,
that the salvation of Man is to be found only through his perfect adjustment to this envi-
ronment.

This educational program in the field of Psychopolitics can best be followed by bring-
ing about a compulsory training in some subject such as psychology or other mental prac-
tice, and seeing to it that each broad program of psychopolitical training is supervised by
a psychiatrist who is a trained psychopolitical operative.

As it seems that the church is the most ennobling influence in foreign nations, each and
every branch and activity of each and every church, must, one way or another, be discred-
ited. Religion must be made unfashionable by our demonstrating broadly, through psy-
chopolitical indoctrination, that the soul is nonexistent, and that Man is an animal. The
lying mechanisms of Christianity lead man to foolishly brave deeds. By teaching them
that there is a life hereafter, the church minimizes the liability of courageous acts during
this lifetime. And 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 opportunity.

The psychopolitical operative, in his program of degradation, should at all times bring
into question any family that is deeply religious, and, should any neurosis or insanity be
occasioned in that family, he should blame and hold responsible their religious connec-
tions 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 like-
ly to be responsible for their own sanity, and should more and more be relegated to the
ministrations of psychopolitical 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
become commonplace, 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 bombings, could cause the population to sue instantly for peace. It is a long and
arduous road for the psychopolitical 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 to run the
entire program. Having to hand, as we do, weapons with which to accomplish the goal.

The Organization of

P
                                   Mental Health Campaigns
        sychopolitical operatives should at all times be alert to the opportunity to organize
        mental health clubs or groups &quot;for the betterment of the community.&quot; By thus invit-
        ing the cooperation of the population as a whole in mental health programs, prop-
erly guided, can bring enough legislative pressure on the government to secure the posi-
tion of the psychopolitical operative, and to obtain for him government grants and facil-
ities, thus bringing a government to finance its own downfall.

Mental health organizations must carefully delete from their ranks anyone actually
proficient in the handling or treatment of mental health. Thus priests, ministers, actual-
ly trained psychoanalysts, good hypnotists, or trained Dianeticists must be excluded.
These, with some cognizance of the subject of mental aberration and its treatment, and
with some experience in observing the mentally deranged, if allowed in large numbers
within institutions, and if permitted to receive literature, would, sooner or later, become
suspicious of the activities carried on by the psychopolitical operative. These must be
defamed and excluded as &quot;untrained&quot;, &quot;unskillful&quot;, &quot;quacks&quot;, or &quot;perpetrators of hoaxes&quot;.

No mental health movement with actual goals of mental therapy should be allowed to
continue 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 dis-
credited thoroughly, as it has some efficacy, and, more importantly, its practitioners
understand, through long acquaintance with it, many of the principles of actual mental
health and aberration.

In the field of mental health, the psychopolitician must occupy, and continue to occu-
py, through various means, 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 discredit the program of the psychopolitical operative in his mental
health clubs.

City officials, socialites, and other outstanding individuals uninformed on the subject
of mental health, should be invited to full participation in the activity of mental health
groups. But the sole aim of this activity should be to finance better facilities for the psy-
chopolitical practitioner. To these groups it must be continually stressed that the entire

38
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 dis-
credited, and the officialdom of the area should be invited to stamp them out as danger-
ous.

When a hostile group dedicated to mental health is discovered, the psychopolitician
should have recourse to peyote, mescaline, and other drugs that cause temporary insan-
ity. He should send persons, preferably those well under his control, into the mental
health group, whether founded on Christian Science, Dianetics, or faith preaching, to
demonstrate their abilities upon this new person. These, in demonstrating their abilities,
will usually act with enthusiasm. Midway in the course of their treatment, a quiet injec-
tion of peyote, mescaline, or other drug, or an electric shock, administered by a psy-
chopolitician, will produce the symptoms of insanity in the patient that has been sent to
the target group. The patient thus demonstrating momentary insanity should immedi-
ately be reported to the police and taken away to some area of incarceration managed by
psychopolitical operatives, and so placed out of sight. Officialdom will thus come to
believe 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 organization are manifest when one realizes
that any government can be forced to provide facilities for psychopolitical operatives in
the form of psychiatric wards in all hospitals, in national institutions totally in the hands
of psychopolitical operatives, and in the establishment of clinics where youth can be con-
tacted and forced into better alignment with the purposes of Psychopolitics.

Such groups form a political force, which can then legalize any law or authority desired
by the psychopolitical operative.

The securing of authority over such mental health organizations is managed mainly by
appeal to education. A psychopolitical operative should make sure that those psychia-
trists 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 that can be
required, the safer the psychopolitical program, since no new group of practitioners can
arise to uncover and embarrass psychopolitical 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 psychopolitics, since it was the
home of Psychoanalysis. 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, where Psychopolitics is operating abroad, and the necessity &quot;for further

39
study&quot; by psychopolitical operatives in the birthplace of Psychoanalysis, makes periodic
contacts with headquarters possible. Thus, the word &quot;psychoanalysis&quot; must be stressed
at all times, and must be pretended to be a thorough part of the psychiatristâ€™s training.

Psychoanalysis profits greatly from its possession of a vocabulary, and a workability
that is sufficiently poor to avoid recovery of psychopolitical implantations. It can be
made fashionable throughout mental health organizations, 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
organizing mental health groups, the literature furnished such groups should be psycho-
analytical in nature.

If a group of persons interested in suppressing juvenile delinquency and in caring for
the insane (and indirectly the promotion of psychopolitical operatives and their actions)
can be formed in every major city of a country under conquest, the success of a psychopo-
litical program is assured, since these groups seem to represent a large segment of the
population. By continual exposure to the airing of 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 misarranging the youth and gaining their support for our goals at the same
time.

The communication lines of psychopolitics, if such mental health organizations can be
well established in a country, can thus run from its most prominent citizens to its govern-
ment. 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 nationâ€™s army, and whole government institutes manned entirely by psy-
chopolitical operatives, into which ailing government officials could be placed, to the
advantage of the psychopolitician.

If a psychiatric ward could be established in every hospital in every city in a nation, it
is certain that, at one time or another, every prominent citizen of the nation could come
under the ministrations of psychopolitical operatives or their dupes.

The validation of a need for psychiatric evaluations in the armed forced and security-
minded institutions of the nation under conquest could bring about a flow and fund of
information unlike any other program imaginable. If every pilot who flies a new plane
could come under the questioning of a psychopolitical operative, if the compiler of every
plan of military action could thus come under the review of psychopolitical operatives,
the simplicity with which information can be extracted by the use of certain drugs, with-
out the after-knowledge of the soldier, would entirely cripple any overt action toward
communism. If the nation could be educated into turning over to psychopolitical opera-
tives every recalcitrant or rebellious soldier, it would lose its best fighters. Thus, the

40
advantage of mental health organizations could be seen, for these, by exerting an appar-
ent pressure against the government (in the public interest, of course), can achieve these
ends and goals.

The financing of a psychopolitical 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 mil-
lions, unless the government itself is cooperating. The cooperation of the government
needed to obtain these vast sums of money is best obtained by the organization of men-
tal health groups composed of leading citizens who bring their lobbying abilities to bear
against the nationâ€™s government. Thus can many programs be financed that might oth-
erwise have had to be set aside by the psychopolitician.

The psychopolitical operative should exert consistent and continual effort toward
forming and continuing in action innumerable mental health groups.

The psychopolitical operative should also spare no expense in smashing out of exis-
tence, by whatever means, any actual healing group, such as that of acupuncture, in
China; such as Christian Science, Dianetics, and faith healing, in the United States; such
as Catholicism in Italy and Spain; and the practical psychological groups of England.

T
                                                  Conduct Under Fire
      he psychopolitician may well find himself under attack as an individual or a mem-
      ber of a group. He may be attacked as a Communist through some leak in the
      organization, or he may be attacked for malpractice. He may be attacked by the
families of people whom he has injured. In all cases his conduct in the situation should
be calm and aloof. He should have behind him the authority of many years of training,
and he should have participated fully in the building of defenses in the field of insanity
which give him the sole claim to expertise on conditions of the mind.

If he has not done his work well, an individual psychopolitician may be exposed by
hostile groups. These may call into question the efficacy of psychiatric treatment such as
shock, drugs, and general treatment. Not one of the cases cited need be real, but they
should be documented and printed in such a fashion as to form excellent court evidence.
  When his allegiance is attacked, the psychopolitical operative should explain his con-
nection with Vienna on the grounds that Vienna is the place of study for all important
matters of the mind.

More importantly, he should laugh into scorn, by reason of his authority, the sanity of
the person attacking him, and if the psychopolitical archives of the country are adequate
many defamatory data can be unearthed and presented as a rebuttal, if needed.

Should anyone attempt to expose psychotherapy as a psychopolitical activity, the best
defense is calling into question the sanity of the attacker. The next best defense is author-
ity. The next best defense is a validation of psychiatric practices in terms of long and
impressive figures. The next best defense is the actual removal of the attacker by giving
him, or them, treatment sufficient to being about a period of insanity for the duration of
the trial. This, more than anything else, would discredit them, but it is extremely danger-
ous to manage.

Psychopolitics 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 in &quot;unreasonable numbers&quot;, political capital might be
made of this by city officials or legislature. If the psychopolitical operative, himself, or if
his group has done a thorough job, defamatory data concerning the person, or connec-
tions, 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.

42
   After a period of indoctrination, a country will expect insanity to be met by psychopo-
litical violence. Psychopolitical activities should become the only recognized treatment
for insanity. Indeed, this notion can be carried to such lengths that it could be made ille-
gal for electric shock and brain surgery to be omitted in the treatment of a patient.

In order to defend psychopolitical activities, a great complexity should be made of psy-
chiatric, psychoanalytical, and psychological technology. Any hearing should be bur-
dened 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.

Psychopolitical tests need not necessarily be in agreement, one to another, where they
are available to the public. Various types of insanity should be characterized by difficult
terms. The actual state should be made obscure, but this verbiage can insinuate 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 psychopolitical activity has managed
to become well-documented in magazine horror stories.

In case of a hearing or trial, the awfulness of insanity itself, its threat to society, should
be exaggerated until the court or committee believes that the psychopolitical operative is
vitally necessary in his post and should not be harassed by 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 defense. It should become well known that &quot;only
the insane attack psychiatrists.&quot; The byword should be built into the society that para-
noia is a condition &quot;in which the individual believes he is being attacked by
Communists.&quot; This defense will be found to be effective. Part of an effective defense
should include the societyâ€™s entire lack of any real psychotherapy. Any real therapy must
be systematically stamped out, since a real psychotherapy might possibly uncover the
results of psychopolitical activities.

Jurisprudence, in a capitalistic nation, is so clumsy that cases are invariably tried in
their newspapers. We have handled these things much better in Russia, and have uni-
formly brought people to trial with full confessions already arrived at (having been
implanted) before the trail takes place.

Should any whisper or pamphlet against psychopolitical activities be published, it
should be laughed into scorn, branded immediately as a hoax, and its perpetrator or pub-
lisher should be, at the first opportunity, branded insane, and by the use of drugs the
insanity should be confirmed.

The Use of Psychopolitics

R
                                  in Spreading Communism
     eactionary 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
&quot;communism&quot; 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, Lamarck, and the data of Dialectic Materialism into the textbooks of psychology,
to such a degree that anyone making a thorough study of 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 connected
with us, or who can be influenced by persons connected with us, the constant employ-
ment of such texts is guaranteed. They are given an authoritative ring, and they are care-
fully taught.

Constant pressure on 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 is
thus rendered relatively easy, and when the choice is given them whether to continue in
a capitalistic or a Communistic condition, they will see, suddenly, in communism, much
more reasonableness than in capitalism, which will now be seen by our own definition.

44
                                                                            Chapter 12

A
                                                      Violent Remedies
       s populaces, in general, understand that violence is necessary in the handling of
       the insane, violent remedies seem to be reasonable. Starting from a relatively low
       level of violence, such as straitjackets and other restraints, it is relatively easy to
encroach upon the public diffidence where violence is concerned by adding more and
more cruelty to the treatment of the insane.

By increasing the brutality of &quot;treatment&quot;, the public expectation of such treatment will
be assisted, and the protest of the individual to whom the treatment is given is impossi-
ble, since immediately after the treatment he is incapable. The family of the individual
under treatment is already suspect for having had in its midst an insane person. The fam-
ilyâ€™s protest should be discredited.

The more violent the treatment, the more command value the psychopolitical operative
will accumulate. Brain operations should become standard and commonplace. While the
figures of actual deaths should be repressed wherever possible, it is nevertheless of no
great concern to the psychopolitical operative that many deaths do occur.

Gradually, the public should be educated in electric shock, first by being led to believe
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 sin-
gle electric shock treatment. Certainly they could not tolerate witnessing a prefrontal
lobotomy or transorbital 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 adding the psychopolitical 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 psychopolitical operative, 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

45
probably employ zombies, if given to them. Thus a large stratum of the society, particu-
larly that which was rebellious, can be reduced to the service of the psychopolitician.

By various means, a public must at least be convinced that insanity can only be met by
shock, torture, deprivation, defamation, discreditation, violence, maiming, death, pun-
ishment in all its forms. The society, at the same time, must be educated into the belief
that insanity is increasing within its ranks. This creates an emergency and places the psy-
chopolitician in a savior role that will eventually put him in charge of the society.

                                                                          Chapter 13

The Recruiting

T
                                        of Psycopolitical Dupes
      he psychopolitical dupe is a well-trained individual who serves in complete obedi-
      ence to the psychopolitical 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 can immediate-
ly result from the use of pain-drug hypnosis.

Recruitment into the ranks of &quot;mental healing&quot; 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 &quot;treated&quot; by psychopolitical operatives.

Recruitment is effected by making the field of mental healing very attractive, financial-
ly and sexually.

The amount of promiscuity that can be induced in mental patients can work definitely
to the advantage of the psychopolitical 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 &quot;mental healing&quot; many desirable recruits who will willingly
fall in line with psychopolitical activities.

In that the psychopolitician has under his control the insane of the nation, most of them
with 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 with-
out question, if given the proper amount of punishment and implantation, the degrada-
tion of the countryâ€™s youth, the defamation of its leaders, the suborning of its courts
becomes childishly easy.

47
  The psychopolitician has the advantage of naming as a delusory symptom any attempt
on the part of a patient to expose commands.

The psychopolitician 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, his practice
should be limited to contact with the families of the wealthy and the officials of the coun-
try.

The Smashing

Y
                                                 of Religious Groups
       ou must know that until recent times the entire subject of mental derangement,
       whether so light as simple worry or so heavy as insanity, was the sphere of activi-
       ty of the church and only the church.

Traditionally, both in civilized and barbaric nations, the priesthood alone had complete
charge of the mental condition of the citizen. As a matter of great concern to the psy-
chopolitician this tendency still exists in every public in the Western World and scientif-
ic inroads into this sphere have 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 &quot;scientific practices&quot; be applied to the prob-
lem of the mind. Without this official insistence or even if it were to be relaxed for a
moment, the masses would grasp stupidly for the priest, the minister, the clergy, when-
ever mental conditions came into question. Today in Europe and America &quot;scientific
practices&quot; in the field of the mind would not last moments if not routinely enforced by
officialdom.

Care must be taken to hide the fact that the incidence of insanity has increased only
since these &quot;scientific practices&quot; started to be applied. Much mention must be made of
&quot;the pace of modern living&quot; and other myths as the cause of the increased neurosis in the
world. We care nothing about what causes it if anything does. But we must tolerate no
evidence of any kind to get out and drive the public back to the church. 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 the places where &quot;scientific practices&quot; prevail.

Given any slight encouragement, public support would instantly sweep all mental
healing back 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 men-
tal healing throughout the Christian world and well schooled priests are always at work
to draw the public back to the fold. Among Fundamentalist and Pentecostal groups heal-
ing campaigns are conducted, which, because of their results, win many to the cult of
Christianity.

49
  In the field of pure healing, the Church of Christ Science of Boston, Massachusetts
excels in commanding the public favor and operates many sanitariums. All these must
be swept aside. They must be ridiculed and defamed and every cure they advertise must
be labeled a hoax. A full fifth of a psychopoliticianâ€™s time should be devoted to smash-
ing these threats. Just as in Russia we had to destroy the Church after many, many years
of the most arduous work, so we must destroy all faiths in nations marked for conquest.
  Insanity must hound the footsteps of every priest and practitioner. The best testimoni-
als to his skill must be turned into gibbering madmen 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 that might devote itself to mental healing is vicious, bad, insani-
ty-causing, publicly hated and intolerable.

You must suborn and recruit any medical healing organization into collusion in this
campaign. You must appeal to their avarice and even their humanity to invite their coop-
eration 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 advi-
sors 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 endeavor so that they will never be able to
crawl out from under our thumb and discredit us.

We have battled in America since the turn of the century to bring to nothing any and
all Christian influences and we are succeeding. While today we seem to be kind to the
Christian remember that we have yet to influence the &quot;Christian world&quot; 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 will stay long only until the apes
in other lands have become unwary.

You must work until &quot;religion&quot; is synonymous with &quot;insanity&quot;. 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 who 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 defamation, wild lies, false evidence,
and constant propaganda to make him fight for you against the church or against any
practitioner.

50
  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 seek 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 its flesh.

We must strike from our path any opposition. We must use for our tools any authori-
ty that comes to hand. And then at last, the decades having sped by, we can dispense
with all authority save our own and triumph in the greater glory of the Party.

Proposals

T
                                           That Must be Avoided
      here are certain damaging movements that could interrupt a psychopolitical con-
      quest. These, coming from some quarters of the country, might gain headway.
      They 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
centuriesâ€”the priests. Any movement to place clergymen in charge of institutions
should be fought on the grounds of incompetence and the insanity brought about by reli-
gion. The most destructive thing that could happen to a psychopolitical program would
be to entrust the ministry with the care of the nationâ€™s insane.

If mental hospitals operated by religious groups are in existence, they must be discred-
ited and closed, no matter what the cost, for the actual figures of recovery in such insti-
tutions might be compared to them. This might lead to a movement to place the clergy
in charge of the insane. Every argument must be advanced early, to overcome any pos-
sibility of this ever occurring.

A countryâ€™s law must be made carefully to avoid granting any personal rights to the
insane. Any suggested laws or Constitutional Amendments that would make the harm-
ing of the insane unlawful, should be fought to the extreme, on the grounds that only vio-
lent measures can succeed in their treatment. If the law were to protect the insane, as it
normally does not, the entire psychopolitical program would quite possibly collapse.

Any movement to increase or place under surveillance the orders required to hospital-
ize the mentally ill should be discouraged. This should be left entirely in the hands of
persons well under the control of psychopolitical operatives. It should be done with min-
imum 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 required in the process-
es of commitment and release should be discouraged on the grounds of emergency. To
get around this, the best policy is to place a psychiatrist and a detention ward for the
mentally ill in every hospital in a land.

Any writings of a psychopolitical nature, accidentally revealing themselves, should be

52
prevented. All factual literature on the subject of insanity and its treatment should be
suppressed, first by actual security, and second by complex verbiage that renders in
incomprehensible. The actual figures on 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 psychopolitical operatives. At first, it should
be ignored, but if this is not possible, the entire weight of all psychopoliticians 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 effected 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 evi-
dence that would immediately rebut any effort to actually locate anyone who had ever
been helped by psychiatry or psychology.

If the Communistic connections of a psychopolitician should become known, it should
be attributed to his own carelessness, and he should, himself, be immediately branded as
eccentric within his own profession.

Authors of literature that seeks 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 infiltrated and corrupted. Left alone, they
might interrupt our campaigns to produce in youth delinquency, addiction, drunkenness,
and sexual promiscuity.

Communist workers in the field of newspapers and radio should be protected wherev-
er possible by completely disabling, through Psychopolitics, any persons consistently
attacking them. These, in their turn, should be persuaded to give all possible publicity to
the benefits of psychopolitical activities under the heading of &quot;science&quot;.

No healing group devoted to the mind must be allowed to exist within the borders of
Russia or its satellites. Only well-vouched-for psychopolitical operatives can be allowed
to continue in their practice, and this only for the benefit of the government or to work
against enemy prisoners.

Any effort to exclude psychiatrists or psychologists from the armed services must be

53
fought.

Any inquest into the &quot;suicide&quot; or sudden mental derangement of any political leader in
a nation must be conducted only by psychopolitical operatives or their dupes, whether
Psychopolitics 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 ministrations of psychopolitical operatives, such
as psychiatrists and controlled psychologists.

I
                                                                In Summary
   n this time of unlimited weapons, and in national antagonisms where atomic war with
   capitalistic powers is possible, Psychopolitics must act efficiently as never before.

Any and all programs of Psychopolitics must be increased to aid and abet the activities
of other Communist agents throughout the nation in question.
  The failure of Psychopolitics might well bring about the atomic bombing of the
Motherland.

If Psychopolitics succeeds in its mission throughout the capitalistic nations of the
world, there will never be an atomic war, for Russia will have subjugated all of her ene-
mies.

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 Psychopolitics we have refined this conquest to
the nth degree. The psychopolitical 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 psychopolitician has his reward in the nearly unlimited control of populaces, in the
uninhibited exercise of passion, and the glory of Communist conquest over the stupidity
of the enemies of the People.
