Proposals That Must be Avoided


There are certain damaging movements that could interrupt a
psychopolitical conquest.

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 centuries—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 religion.

The most destructive thing that could happen to a
psychopolitical program would be to entrust the ministry with the
care of the nation’s insane.


If mental hospitals operated by religious groups are in existence,
they must be discredited and closed, no matter what the cost, for the
actual figures of recovery in such institutions 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 possibility of this ever occurring.

Acountry’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 harming of the insane unlawful,
should be fought to the extreme, on the grounds that only violent
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 hospitalize 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 minimum formality,
and no recovery of the insane from an institution should be
possible by any process of law.

Thus, any movement to add to the
legal steps required in the processes 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 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.
