Military Industrial Mind Control

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” Charles Baudelaire

It has been remarked that the most difficult thing for humans to face is evil. Rather than confront it for what it is, people reflexively attempt to rationalize it. That weakness allows the truly sociopathic to survive and even to run roughshod over society. 

When you take off the blinders and view what is behind the rhetoric, the propaganda, and the establishment narratives implanted in our minds you sometimes find that what you thought was benevolent and helpful is in fact rotten and pernicious.  

Let’s take a break from the Scientology angle for a moment and review what we’ve learned in articles on this blog since Feb 28, 2025.

The deans of American psychiatry and psychology are found to be involved with and supportive of “doctors” who systematically tortured human guinea pigs (ala Nazi concentration camps under the direction of Josef Mengele). This was done in pursuit of creating deployable agents to conduct political assassinations, and to forget they committed the crimes and who directed them to commit them. As we will see, the research was also utilized to run psychological operations (psy ops) on the American public to make it more compliant with plutocratic wishes.

How could the very people who influenced and advised the leaders who brought this society to where it is today have possibly been involved in such crimes against humanity?  When you first answer the following question, it becomes more understandable: Where exactly is this country mentally, morally and spiritually? The areas that fall under the effective guidance and control of the mental health industry, funded by taxpayer trillions since 1950 to steer society into peaceful, prosperous productivity. I need not say more about the results of those efforts. Unless you are severely mentally impaired, you are aware that precisely the opposite of the 3 p’s came to be. Lawless criminality, rampant mental derangement, continuous mass shootings, organized political violence, all while the future economic prospects for our youth are worse than at any time in American history. For the first time ever, generations coming to maturity will NOT have a shot at being better off than their parents. 

But, then you might say “well, there’s lots of reasons other than the mental health monopoly. Like, how about the military-industrial complex, how about deterioration of our schools, how about perversions of the law and medicine? How about the economic engines fueling one undeniably corrosive factor, ‘Globalism’?”    

The answer may lie with a troika that formed during World War II whose stated intent was to infiltrate and control every one of the institutions responsible for each of the societal ills listed above. Its aim was literally to control the way the leadership of those institutions thought.

The mind controlling troika consisted of brigadier generals from the US, Canada and England. Military generals who were also the leading international lights of psychiatry – Brock Chisholm of Canada, John Rawlings Rees of England, and the U.S.’ very own William Menninger.

The three psych-generals collaborated with one another from the early 1940s until the end of their lives. Together they formed the World Health Organization (WHO) and installed one of their own, brigadier general Chisholm, as its first President where he reigned during all of the lynchpin, post war years 1948-1953. Realize, this was not simply “mental health”; the head shrinks took over ALL of health on a global scale.

The troika then formed the World Federation of Mental Health, installing brigadier general Rees as President in 1948. That year they also installed brigadier general Menninger as head of the American Psychiatric Association. An effective military junta seized control of matters of health and mental health across the western world. Based on these facts alone, is it any wonder that the Military Industrial Complex has utterly conquered American hearts and minds from coast to coast?

Paradoxically, these three founding generals shared and instilled leftist objectives with all of the elite psychiatrists of the day. Rees first outlined them in his landmark manifesto “Strategic Planning for Mental Health” (published on 4 Oct 1940 in Mental Health, vol 1 No. 4. All italicized/bolded quotations below are taken from that publication)

First Rees called for infiltrating all levels of education:

We must aim to make it [psychiatric world views] permeate every educational activity in our national life: primary, secondary, university and technical education are all concerned with varying stages in the development of the child and the adolescent.  Those who provide the education, the principles upon which they work, and the people upon whom they work, must all be objects of our interest. For education that ignores the commonsense principles that have been more clearly evolved of recent years is likely to be of indifferent quality.

Then he widens the net to “infiltrate…public life, politics and industry”:

Public life, politics and industry should all of them be within our sphere of influence.

Especially since the last world war we have done much to infiltrate the various social organizations throughout the country, and in their work and in their point of view one can see clearly how the principles for which this society and others stood in the past have become accepted as part of the ordinary working plan of these various bodies.  That is as it should be, and while we can take heart from this we must be healthily discontented and realize that there is still more work to be done along this line.  

Rees claimed they had already laid “useful attack” upon, among others, “the teaching profession and the Church” and called for deeper infiltration of “law and medicine”:

 Similarly, we have made a useful attack upon a number of professions.  The two easiest of them naturally are the teaching profession and the Church: the two most difficult are law and medicine. Anyone whose memory goes back for even a dozen years can realize how big a change has been effected in the outlook of professional people, while certainly anyone with vision can see how much still remains to be done.

Rees urged psychiatrists use totalitarian communist methods of infiltrating society and advises fraud to cover up its eugenicist aims (covering up its ‘Mental Hygiene’ origins with the more palatable Mmental Health’ label):

If we are to infiltrate the professional and social activities of other people I think we must imitate the Totalitarians and organize some kind of fifth column activity!  If better ideas on mental health are to progress and spread we, as the salesmen, must lose our identity.  By that I mean that we cannot help so effectively if speaking for a National Council or any other body as we can when we make a more subtle approach adapted to the particular circumstances of the moment. It really wouldn’t matter if no one ever heard of this Council again provided that the work was done. Let us all, therefore, very secretly be “fifth columnists”.

I doubt the wisdom of a direct attack upon the existing state of affairs; even though there is a war on, that would still raise opposition, whereas the more insidious approach of suggesting that something better is needed—’why shouldn’t we try so and so’—is more likely to succeed.  The evolutionary process is essentially British, and I think that we should make it a fundamental in our propaganda plan.

Here again we had probably better be secretive and not mention the Council or any other body, but simply write or speak as individuals.  Don’t let us mention Mental Hygiene (with capital letters), though we can safely write in terms of mental health and common sense. When we do write it is important to remember that the understatement of a case is much more likely to be effective than its overstatement.

Too bizarre to be true?  Here is the citation. Read it yourself:  Strategic Planning for Mental Health

That this military/psychiatric cabal talk was not simply a one-off, aberrant product of an LSD trip is evidenced by the founding President of the World Health Organization (WHO), fellow brigadier general Brock Chisholm’s follow up address.

The Eradication of the Concept of Right and Wrong

Given at U.S. Department of Interior 23 October 1945, Chisholm titled his speech “The Re-establishment of Peacetime Society.”  The address was sponsored and attended by two prominent, high-level American leaders of Reis’ targeted classes for infiltration (politics and law). They were Vice President of the United States of America Henry A. Wallace, and Interior Secretary (and future Supreme Court Justice) Abe Fortas. Chisolm did not simply outline the future of mental health, but the future of all of society shaped by the controlling hand of psychiatry. Keep in mind, World War II had ended less than two months prior to this address. 

All quotations are bold and italicized and are taken from the contemporaneous publication of the entire address in PSYCHIATRY: Journal Of The Biology And the Pathology Of Interpersonal Relations, February 1946:           

First, the primary and ultimate goal of the “eradication of the concept of right and wrong” is spelled out emphatically:

The re-interpretation and eventually eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for the faith in the certainties of the old people, these are the belated objectives of practically all psychotherapy…

…The pretense is made, as it has been made in relation to the finding of any extension of truth, that to do away with right and wrong would produce uncivilized people, immorality, lawlessness and social chaos…

…The fact is that most psychiatrists and psychologists and many other respectable people have escaped from these moral chains and are able to observe and think freely…

Those who advocate the teaching of right and wrong – which virtually every law-abiding citizen of the world considers the first duty of responsible parents – are belittled as the neuroses of the “immature, the inferior, the guilty”:

…This bugbear (criticism or eradicating right and wrong) has no basis in fact whatever. We all recognize these reactions as those of the immature, the inferior, the guilty, which are not found in the mature, integrated personality…

…If the race is to be freed from its crippling burden of good and evil it must be psychiatrists who take the original responsibility…

Now that annoying conscience feeding distractions such as morality, ethics and religion are eliminated, Chisholm declares global “annihilation” of nations and nuclear proliferation not only sane, but vital. Realize, this pronunciamento is given less than three months after the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, from the top psychiatrist on the planet no less:

…The people who definitely do not want to fight any more wars must promise annihilation to any nation which starts to fight and must be prepared immediately and ruthlessly to carry out that promise without parley or negotiation. This involves the continual upkeep of widely dispersed atomic rocket stations covering the whole world and a continual high pressure research program to discover ever more efficient methods of killing to keep ahead of any possible competition…

To achieve his aims, Chisholm promotes taking the rearing and education of children out of the hands of parents and putting it firmly in the hands of state teachers whom he finds to be tractable to following his “totalitarian” ways and means:

…The most important thing in the world today is the bringing up of children.  It is not a job for economic or emotional misfits, for frightened, inferiority-ridden men and women seeking a safe, respectable and quickly attainable social and emotional status, nor for girls filling their time before marriage. Fortunately there are recent signs of intellectual stirrings amongst teachers which give some hope…

And once that control is established, Chisholm suggests standard education be replaced with “psychopathology.”  Ever wonder how reading, writing, arithmetic, and the difference between right and wrong were driven out of the classroom?  Or how social engineering in publics got started and carried out? Wonder no more:

…Can such a program of re-education or of a new kind of education be charted? I would not presume to go so far, except to suggest that psychopathology, the sciences of living, should be made available to all children and primary and secondary schools, while the study of such things as trigonometry, Latin, religious and others of special concern should be left to universities…

If you take a long hard look at this, the World Health Organization’s and the World Federation of Mental Health’s post-World War II agenda was pretty effectively carried out. And you would be hard-pressed to find a single current societal ill that cannot be traced directly to that handiwork. Perhaps, with the possible exception of drugs. But, they got around to that, and we’ll get around to documenting it.

If there is any doubt about the types of politics this approach embraces consider this fact. Chisholm’s comrade and infamous Soviet spy Alger Hiss agreed wholeheartedly with the aims of this lecture and publication. In 1948, Hiss published Chisholm’s message on mental health in his socialist journal, International Conciliation; along with an introduction promoting it.

What we are witnessing here is a specious affliction on the psyche of western civilization. A form of mind control has been and is being applied to all levels of society. By their own words, the operators are acting as ‘fifth columnists’ trying to do the work of ‘totalitarians.’  Perhaps we’ve been wrong to focus on a ‘deep state’, ‘national security state’ or ‘d.c. blob.’  Perhaps it more closely resembles a Military Industrial Mind Control operation.

Real Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and other genuine peace seekers remaining in this country are perplexed with the bipartisan worship of violence and war in America. They ought realize that our increasing lust for death will likely never abate until such time that we recognize its sources and their once overt admission that it was their very aim from the outset. Perhaps this is wishful thinking since that very admission also contained the conclusion that “the church” was their first and easiest target for “infiltration.”

The rudiments bear repetition. It does not get any more Orwellian than this (War is Peace). We were told by the original President of the World Health Organization that the formula for “The Re-establishment of Peacetime Society” was total war carried out “ruthlessly” and “without parley or negotiation”:

…”The people who definitely do not want to fight any more wars must promise annihilation to any nation which starts to fight and must be prepared immediately and ruthlessly to carry out that promise without parley or negotiation. This involves the continual upkeep of widely dispersed atomic rocket stations covering the whole world and a continual high pressure research program to discover ever more efficient methods of killing to keep ahead of any possible competition”…

The Deep State and Scientology

In recent posts – Government Censors Are Losing Their Minds and Elon Musk and the USSA – we described how prominent US citizens have been transformed from corporate media darlings to heinous villains instantly. All they had to do initially was publicly object to deep-state censorship strong arm tactics and begin to peek behind the deep state curtain of Oz.  

This deep state is the creation of and the protector of the American plutocracy. Over the past ten years more concentrated effort has been put into creating an all-powerful plutocratic ruling class than in any other ten-year period in American history.  The new unconstitutional 4th branch of government (the sprawling, permanent bureaucracy or deep state) has actively enforced an unprecedented transfer of wealth from the many to the few. In no commensurate period has income inequality increased so rapidly; have censorship measures been more prevalent; has state propaganda been so dutifully churned out by corporate media; has government control and regulation of powerful corporations (including but not limited to media) been so complete; has the entire justice apparatus been used to hunt down, prosecute and persecute populists designated as domestic enemies of the state. Unfortunately for the younger generations, the level of neo mania (all that matters is the now, modern, and unthinking) is so great they have no frame of reference to even notice such fundamental, repressive changes.

Because of the populist landslide results of the 2024 Presidential election we are likely to learn that all of the maladies above – those indicia of the unquestioned plutocrat hegemony being visited upon us – are not new. Such efforts at smashing the Bill of Rights have been part of the ‘deep state’ agenda for many decades. This could soon become more clear, even if only by Trump’s promised release of the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassination files. The long duration of this erosion of rights is not understood by many. That in part is due to the neo-maniacal trend in this society. That is all attention by the plutocracy is driven to the present and ever-present future “threats”; the idea being to keep people distracted and unaware of the gradual erosion of their rights. In order to overcome the Orwellian neo-maniacal erasure of history from the collective consciousness, some study of history is in order. 

One history I am intimately familiar with is that of the relationship between the church of Scientology and the US deep-security state. It so happens that that history provides a helpful backdrop against which to better appreciate the recent Bill of Rights cancellation craze in America. Virtually all tactics we are witnessing of late have been applied with force and passion against Scientology for several decades.

Scientology’s founder L. Ron Hubbard came into American consciousness in 1950 with his bestselling book Dianetics; The Modern Science of Mental Health. It was a handbook for regular people to straighten out their own minds and lives through a prescribed self-help regimen. Prior to Dianetics, regression type therapy (that is, resolving one’s past through revisiting it) was practiced mainly under the auspices of the government (to wit, WW II PTSD cases) and almost always with the ‘aid’ of mind-altering drugs. Hubbard introduced the idea of freeing the mind without the use of drugs, which he viewed as exacerbating the conditions meant to be relieved. He was immediately set upon by the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, The American Psychological Association, The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Association, the Food and Drug Administration and virtually every federal law enforcement and intelligence agency. It took several decades of liberal use of Freedom of Information laws and coast to coast litigation in order to a) survive the attacks and b) learn of its extraordinary extent and intensity.

Paradoxically, the hundreds of thousands of subsequently revealed documents were really unnecessary to understanding why Ron Hubbard seemed to pose such an earth-shaking threat to the keepers of America’s deepest, dark secrets.  Instead, a short passage in Hubbard’s second major book on the mind told one all he needed to know about why the deep, security state mustered all its forces against him.

In 1951 Hubbard’s Science of Survival: The Prediction of Human Behavior hit the market. The book expanded on Dianetics counselling techniques and provided a manual for predicting human behavior. In the course of doing so, Hubbard revealed something that – in spite of his efforts – the world at large would remain ignorant of for more than two decades.  

The offending passage:

There is another form of hypnotism which falls between the surgical operation and straight hypnotism without physical pain. This form of hypnotism has been a carefully guarded secret of certain military and intelligence organizations. It is a vicious war weapon and may be of considerable more use in conquering a society than the atom bomb. This is no exaggeration. The extensiveness of the use of this form of hypnotism in espionage work is so wide today that it is long past the time when people should have become alarmed about it. 

It required Dianetic processing to uncover “pain-drug-hypnosis.”  Otherwise pain-drug-hypnosis was out of sight, unsuspected and unknown.

Hubbard claimed that agents of the agencies so exposed made attempts on his life later in 1951.  Their methods of course made proving such impossible. And the public brushed it off since the leading lights of American corporate media (including Time Magazine, the New York Times and CBS) went to extraordinary lengths at the behest of their deep-security state masters attempting to paint Hubbard in as unfavorable a light as possible.

In fact, it was not until the mid-1970s that Pain-drug-hypnosis (PDH) received any significant attention. That was when Senator Frank Church’s Intelligence Oversight Congressional Committee probed the dirty work of the CIA. That committee (and subsequent Congressional investigations) released documents and testimony proving that what L. Ron Hubbard stated as fact in 1951 was indeed irrefutable fact. The Church committee revealed that at the time (1951) of Hubbard’s revelations US Naval Intelligence and the CIA had been working for at least eight years on enhancing interrogation and torture techniques with drugs and hypnosis. In the early 50’s the CIA formally took the lead in all such operations under the rubric MK (Mind Control) Ultra.  1952 documents labelled Project Bluebird, a part of MK Ultra, spelled out the aims of their then ongoing experimentation with PDH:

“Can we obtain control of the future activities (physical and mental) of any given individual, willing or unwilling by application of SI (sensory isolation) and H (hypnosis) techniques?”

“Can we in a matter of an hour, two hours, one day, etc., induce an H (hypnotic) condition in an unwilling subject to such an extent that he will perform an act for our benefit? (long range)”

“Can we create by post-H (hypnotic) suggestion an action contrary to an individual’s basic moral principals?” 

“Can we devise a system for making unwilling subjects into willing agents and then transfer that control to untrained agency agents in the field by use of codes or identifying signs or credentials?”

“Can we obtain control of the future activities (physical and mental) of any individual, willing or unwilling with a guarantee of amnesia?”

“Can an individual be made to perform an act of attempted assassination?”

And finally, for some comedic relief, the CIA asked a question indicating their Keystone Kops level of incompetence:

“Can we detect SI and H by use of SI an H (regression)?”

Link to original CIA document

As noted above L. Ron Hubbard had already been regularly ‘detecting’ SI and H (or pdh) through the decidedly drug and hypnosis free Dianetics. He’d even published the fact in a widely distributed book – and their own agency along with several others were pursuing Hubbard with considerable resources and ardor for having done so. I personally have so detected and uncovered SI and H (and PDH) application – along with relieving the damage originally done – by use of Dianetics and Scientology techniques. 

Hubbard’s 1951 revelation would make him and his creation Scientology a “national security risk”, a priority target for discrediting and destruction by the government-friendly corporate media and numerous federal agencies.

While having some measure of success in getting the public to disbelieve such claims, they failed to stop Hubbard and his techniques. He and Scientology became long-terms targets of what we today call a “whole of society” approach to undermining Hubbard and his work. That is numerous federal agencies set out to frame and prosecute Hubbard and Scientology by any means necessary, all flanked by coordinating smears by corporate media and non-governmental organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Association, and the American Medical Association. Having been a front-line defender against such techniques for years, I too was targeted by a US Department of Justice FBI sting operation. When confronted with Freedom of Information Act documents proving the attempted frame up, the FBI agent in charge sheepishly admitted, “we tried our best, but you didn’t take the bait.”

The anti-Hubbard/Scientology propaganda campaign required authoritative figures to provide the ‘proof’ of their smears. Who were the leading lights utilized to smash Hubbard and Scientology? The heads of the American Psychiatric Association and the World Psychiatric Association. They and their minions presented themselves as the preeminent experts on ‘Mind Control”.  They testified publicly in the media, legally in courts and parliaments, doing everything possible to make Hubbard appear disreputable and to position Scientology as a “cult.” Their expertise was accepted and forwarded by literally every corporate media outlet and every intelligence and law enforcement agency in the western world. For forty years.

After all these decades later, after much smoke has cleared, after many relevant characters have long since passed and their papers became available, and tomes of classified government files have lost their classified status, let’s revisit who the authorities on Mind Control Cults  – and the basis of their authority – were. In short, they were the epitome of the APA affliction known as “projection” (that is accusing others of your own sordid intentions and actions). 

Dr. Winfred Overholser was the first ‘authority’ to strike out at Hubbard. Overholser was President of the APA 1947-48.  Decades of research were required to finally prove that from 1949 through the early fifties, L. Ron Hubbard and his Dianetics presented a clear and present danger to Overholser personally. Just after Overholser’s stint as APA President Hubbard presented Dianetics to a group of psychiatrists at the Overholser-led Washington D.C.  St Elizabeth Hospital. Hospital psychiatrists there eagerly adopted Dianetics methods as they experienced initial success. That was only until Overholser caught wind of it. He prohibited its use and denounced Hubbard and his techniques as a “fraud.”  That would be its original, official branding. Why was Oversholser so intolerant in the face of his underlings’ successes? Decades later it was learned that throughout the forties and fifties Oversholser was experimenting on unwitting patient-victims with LSD, electroshock treatment and hypnosis (yes, PDH) at St Elizabeth’s. Oversholser was one of the founding CIA shock/torture doctors furthering Mind Control experiments in America; the same line of experiments begun in Nazi Germany under the infamous Dr. Joseph Mengele. 

Dr. Ewen Cameron was an Overholser successor as  President of the American Psychiatric Association during the critical years 1952-1953, a year after Hubbard published his expose on government Pain-Drug-Hypnosis practices. They were also the same years the CIA formalized years of such practices under the rubric MK Ultra (Mind Control Ultra); the program quoted from above. Those were also the years when the APA became the lead grand inquisitor against Hubbard and Scientology, a duty it carried out for another 30 years, until the APA’s condemnation became more like a badge of honor as far as decent people were concerned. Cameron was also the head of the World Psychiatric Association from 1961-67, the years it worked hand-in-glove with the CIA to instigate attempted bannings of Scientology internationally, from the U.K. to Australia.

 What we learned from the 70s (from the Church Committee, and subsequent committee, hearings) to the present is that Cameron was a leading MK Ultra experimenter throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s.  He was in direct communication with MK Ultra’s American Mengele, Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, poisoner and torturer in Chief of the CIA.  The most thorough treatment on the sinister nature of the mass tortures Cameron personally performed and directed can be found in Naomi Klein’s best-selling book The Shock Doctrine (2007, Knopf Canada). After exhaustive research from extensive Freedom of Information Act releases over thirty years, Ms. Klein demonstrated with ample fact references that while Cameron’s organization was condemning Hubbard and Scientology for alleged “mind control” Cameron himself was regularly drugging, poisoning, electroshocking, erasing the memories of, planting false memories in, and implanting commands into the brains of hundreds of unwitting human guinea pigs. Cameron’s victims were drugged beyond consciousness without their consent and then tortured and hypnotized, some for months on end. All hidden behind the cloak of the literal head of national and international institutions responsible for the betterment of human mental health. That is what made him an “expert” on Mind Control.

This is only the beginning of a story that would defy belief for many decades – until sufficient documentation could finally be obtained to prove it. Hopefully, it gives you some context from which to process the mind-numbing attacks, nullifications, brandings, and targeting being meted out by the deep state/corporate media cartel of late (witness Trump, Musk, Patel, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, to name a few).  There is more TO THE SCIENTOLOGY STORY. And at least one of the central characters makes Overholser and Cameron look like choir boys by comparison.
