Brainwashing

[Sharing Lights]

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 loy-alties 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 operator’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 psychopolitical 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
implantation 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 "spiritual quality." Loyalty is entirely a thing of
dependence, economic or mental, and can be 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 loyalty 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.

[Sharing Lights]

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 technology. 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 psychopolitical
technology is to be exerted, are already too faint to
require eradication. It is generally 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 simple 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 loyalty of a very important person one
must place at his side a constant pleader who introduces 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.

[Sharing Lights]

In most instances, however, this is not possible. By the use of various
drugs, it is, in this modern age, and well within the realm of psychopolitical
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 create 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 important 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 usually best to occasion a mild
neurosis in the person by any available means, and then having carefully
given him a history of mental imbalance, to see to it that he disposes
of himself 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 persons' reputations and is held there firmly by bringing
about irrational acts, either his own or those of persons in his
vicinity.

[Sharing Lights]

Such an activity can be classified as a partial destruction of
alignment, and if this destruction is carried forward to its furthest
extent the misalignment within the subject of all loyalties can be considered
to be complete, and alignment of new loyalties can be
embarked upon safely. By bringing about insanity or suicide on the
part of the wife of an important political personage,
a sufficient mis-alignment 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 demonstrating 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 insanity, 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 circumstances that bring their demise into question.

[Sharing Lights]

In this way we can select out all opposition to the Communist extension
into the social orders of the world, and render populaces who
would oppose us leaderless, thus bringing about a state of chaos or
misalignment 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 psychotherapy 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 importance that psychopolitical
operatives infiltrate the healing arts of a nation marked for conquest,
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.
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 wherever 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, allegedly 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 communism,
to gain their loyalty to a Communist movement.

[Sharing Lights]

Denying a capitalist country easy access to courts, bringing about
and supporting propaganda to destroy the home, creating and fostering
juvenile delinquency,
thus forcing 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 everywhere—communism.
Should it be possible to continue conscription beyond any reasonable
time by promoting 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 nation’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, Capitalism’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 overpermissiveness as the
means of dealing with the child at home. He can instruct, in an optimum
situation, the entire nation in how to handle children—instructing
them so that the children, given no control or given no real home,
can run wildly about without responsibility 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.

[Sharing Lights]

Creating a greed for drugs, sexual misbehavior,
and uncon-trolled 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 control
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 processes 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 "security" 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 "mental 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 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 technician 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
Navy—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
Subject of Obedience
Obedience is the result of force. Everywhere we look in the
history of Earth we discover 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 principle
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, brutality, 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 animal, 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 statement is untrue. Given
enough punishment, all people in any time and place are susceptible
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 man’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 popu-lace itself
and its government.

[Sharing Lights]

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 brutality 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 inhumanity, enough brutality and savageness to create
implicit belief and therefore and thereby 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 science
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 difference between sanity and insanity,
their word as to the therapeutic value of such treatment 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 insanity; 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
a p p a rently 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 maintained. 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.
