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 discredited
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 occupy, 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 psychopolitical
practitioner.

To these groups it must be continually stressed that
the entire subject of mental illness is so complex that none of them,
certainly, could understand any part of it. Thus, the club should be
kept on a social and financial level.
Where groups interested in the health of the community have
already been formed, they should be infiltrated and taken over, and
if this is not possible, they should be discredited, and the officialdom
of the area should be invited to stamp them out as dangerous.


When a hostile group dedicated to mental health is discovered, the
psychopolitician should have recourse to peyote, mescaline, and
other drugs that cause temporary insanity.

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 injection of peyote,
mescaline, or other drug, or an electric shock, administered by a psychopolitician,
will produce the symptoms of insanity in the patient
that has been sent to the target group.

The patient thus demonstrating
momentary insanity should immediately be reported to the
police and taken away to some area of incarceration managed by
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 contacted 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. Apsychopolitical operative
should make sure that those psychiatrists he controls, those psychologists
whom he has under his orders, have been trained for an excessively
long period of time.

The longer the training period 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
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 psychiatrist’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
g roups 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.
