“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”…
