Lecture given at the inauguration of the psychopolitics course, Moscow, 1936
American students at Lenin University, welcome to the Psychopolitics courses!
Although less well known, Psychopolitics is an important part of geopolitics. It is less well known because it is addressed only to highly educated people, that is, to the highest echelons of the "mental health" movement.
Through Psychopolitics, our major objectives can be effectively achieved. Our first and most important step is to produce as much chaos as possible in the enemy's culture. The fruits of our actions grow well in a climate of chaos, distrust, economic depression, and scientific uncertainty. This is because a population so tried can find peace only in the communist state offered by us, and because, in the end, only communism can solve the problems of the masses.
The psychopolitician must make every effort in his power to produce the greatest possible chaos in the field of "mental health." He must recruit and utilize all the factors and facilities in this field. He must work to increase the personnel and means in the field of "mental health" so that, in the end, the entire area of mental science will be completely dominated by communist principles and desiderata.
To achieve these objectives, the psychopolitician must crush every "indigenous" method of mental recovery in America. The teachings of James, Eddy and the Pentecostal faith healers, which have emerged among your disoriented fellow citizens, must be eliminated. Those whom you discredit, slander and arrest even by their own government, until they lose all credibility and until only communist-oriented "recovery" remains to act. You must act until every psychology professor, consciously or unconsciously, comes to teach, under the guise of psychology, only communist doctrine. You must act until every doctor and psychiatrist becomes a psychopolitician or a pawn working, without realizing it, in our service.
You must act until we have taken possession of the minds and bodies of all the important personalities of your nation. You must place such a seal on the state of mental imbalance and come to enjoy such great authority in asserting it that no statesman so labeled will be given any credibility by his own people. You must act until suicide caused by mental imbalance becomes a common occurrence and no longer generates investigation and comment.
In your country, you have places where up to a million people can be confined in institutions for the mentally ill, deprived of their civil rights and of any hope of freedom. These people can be subjected to electric shocks and surgical interventions that will make them lose all lucidity forever. You must make these treatments common and accepted. You must eliminate any other treatment and any group of people who would try to intervene by effective means.
You must dominate, as men of authority, the field of psychiatry and psychology. You must dominate the hospitals and universities. You must spread the myth that only a European doctor can be competent in the field of mental illness, thus justifying the fact that there are a large number of people born and trained abroad in your midst. If and when we take control of Vienna, you will have a place where you can meet and receive instruction as admirers of Freud and other psychiatrists.
Psychopolitics involves high tasks. Through it you can eliminate enemies like insects. You can undermine the effectiveness of leaders by introducing insanity into their families with the help of drugs. You can eliminate them by presenting evidence in favor of supporting the thesis that they are mentally unbalanced. When they seem to be very resistant, you can provoke their state of insanity using our technologies.
Through Psychopolitics you can change their beliefs. Through even a brief contact with a psychopolitician, you can destroy forever the loyalty of a soldier or statesman to his own country or destroy his reason.
But you will also have to face some dangers. It may happen that remedies will be discovered against our treatments. It may happen that the people will raise their voices against this "mental health". It may happen that the problem of mental health will be given to the ministers and, in this way, will be removed from our psychiatrists and psychologists. But the capitalist thirst for control, the inhumanity of capitalism and the people's fear of illness can be used in such a way as to protect us from such things. If, however, they happen and if some independent researchers manage to discover means of counteracting psychopolitical procedures, you must not remain passive; sparing no time or money, you must fight against them in order to discredit, destroy and annihilate them. For, by effective means, all our actions and research can be counteracted.
In a capitalist state you are helped by the existence of a corrupt philosophy about man and the times. You will see that everything will help you in your struggle to take possession, control and use all means of "mental health", for the purpose of spreading our doctrine and getting rid of our enemies from other frontiers.
To achieve our goals, use the courts, use the judges, use the Constitution of the country, use the medical societies and the laws. Do not spare any effort that you could make in this direction. And when your work is crowned with success, you can enforce your own laws as you wish, and by carefully organizing the medical societies, carrying on a continuous campaign on the subject of the evils in society, and claiming that your actions are effective, you can make the capitalists of your country themselves finance, from their own funds, a large part of this peaceful communist conquest of the nation.
Create chaos through Psychopolitics! Leave the nation leaderless! Kill our enemies! And bring to earth, through Communism, the greatest peace that Man has ever known!
Thank you.

History and definition of Psychopolitics
Although punishment for the sake of punishment may be entirely fruitless, it is nevertheless true that the purpose of all punishment is to instill in the mind of the punished person an idea, either of coercion or of submission.
Since the beginning of time, in order to achieve their goals, rulers have needed obedience from their subjects, they have had to resort to punishment. This is true of every tribe and every state in the history of Man. Today, Russian culture has developed more reliable and precise methods of directing and securing the loyalty of individuals and masses, as well as methods of imposing obedience on them. This modern development of an ancient practice is called Psychopolitics.
The stupidity and narrow-mindedness of the peoples who have not been blessed with Russian thought have led them to rely on practices that are now too old and outmoded to cope with the rapid and heroic pace of our times. And, considering the enormous progress of Russian culture in the field of mental technologies, begun with the famous works of Pavlov and continued, with the greatest success, by later Russian scholars, it would be surprising if an art and science devoted to obtaining the loyalty and obedience of individuals and masses did not arise.
Psychopolitical procedures are a natural development of practices as old as Man, practices that are currently used in every group of people in the world. They do not raise any ethical issues , because reality clearly shows us that Man is forced, anyway and always, either through economic gains or through indoctrination in the sense pursued by the state, to act against his will, for the greater good of the country.
In fact, Man is an animal. An animal that has been given a veneer of civilization. Man is a collective animal that lives in groups to defend itself from environmental dangers. Those who organize and lead these groups must have specialized techniques to channel the energies of the Man animal, in such a way that the efficiency of its actions in achieving the goals of the State increases.
In one form or another, Psychopolitics has been used in Russia for a long time; however, it is unknown outside the borders of our country, except in places where we have carefully transplanted our information and where this science is used for the greater good of the nation.
The definition of Psychopolitics is as follows:
Psychopolitics is the art and science of imposing and maintaining dominance over the thoughts and beliefs of individuals of all kinds, of the military, of officials, of the masses, and of conquering enemy nations through "mental health."
The subject of Psychopolitics comprises a series of themes, each of which naturally and logically follows from the preceding one. The first is the constitution and anatomy of Man seen as a political organism. The next is the examination of Man as an economic organism, which can be controlled by his desires. Then follow the themes concerning: the classification of the aims of the State in relation to the individual and the masses; the analysis of loyalty; the problem of obedience in general; the anatomy of stimulus-response mechanisms in Man; the theme of shock and Man's power to endure; the categories of experiments; the catalysis and alignment of experience; the use of drugs; the use of implants; the general application of Psychopolitics in Russia; the organization and use of counter-Psychopolitics; the use of Psychopolitics in the conquest of foreign nations; the problem of psychopolitical organizations outside Russia, their composition and activity; the introduction of Slavic philosophy into an enemy nation; the counteraction of antipsychopolitical activities, abroad. The final theme is that of the destiny of the dominance of Psychopolitics in the age of science. To all of these can be added a series of subthemes such as, for example, that of the annihilation of modern weapons through Psychopolitical activities.
The power and efficiency of psychopolitics are very great, especially when it is used within a nation degenerated by pseudo-intellectualism, where the exploitation of the masses can be easily combined with psychopolitical actions and where the greed of capitalist or monarchical regimes has led to a very high frequency of cases of neurosis that can be used as a basis for psychopolitical activity.
Students, it is your duty to prevent the development of psychopolitical activities to the detriment of the Russian status, just as - if you are given this task - it is your duty to continue to act, within our nation and abroad, to further the mission and goals of Psychopolitics. An agent of Russia cannot be truly effective unless he is armed with a thorough knowledge of Psychopolitics.
Students, you have a duty to Russia to properly use what you learn here.

The formation of man as a political organism
Man is made up of a collection of cells, and it would be a mistake to consider him an individual. Colonies of cells came together to form the organs of the body, and then the organs joined together to form the whole.
It is seen from this that man himself represents a political organism and that he can be viewed as such even if we are not referring to a mass of people.
Disease may be considered as a betrayal of one organ by the others. This betrayal, becoming evident, leads to the rebellion of one part of the body against the rest of the body; this is, in fact, an internal revolution. The heart, dissatisfied, no longer acts in close unity with the rest of the organism and in its service; it is found that, because of this revolutionary action of the heart, the whole body is disturbed in all its actions. The heart rebels because it no longer wants to cooperate with the rest of the body. If the heart is allowed to rebel, the kidneys, following the example of the heart, may, in turn, rebel and no longer work for the good of the organism. The rebellion, extending to the other organs and the glandular system, leads to the death of the "individual." It is easy to see that rebellion means death and that the rebellion of any part of the organism leads to death. Therefore, when it comes to rebellion, no compromise can be made.
Like man "taken as an individual", the State is a collection of conglomerates. The political entities of the State must all cooperate for the good of the State. Otherwise, the State decays and dies, for the lack of loyalty, even of a single entity, represents an example given to the others and, in time, the entire State collapses.
Look at the Earth. It is a whole organism. The organism of the Earth is like the organism of man. The organs of the Earth are the different races and nations. When one of them is allowed to break away from the whole, the Earth itself is threatened with death. The threatening revolt of one country, however small, against the whole organism of the Earth will cause the Earth to become sick and, consequently, the cultural condition of man to suffer. Thus, the putrefaction of the capitalist states, spreading their pus and germs into the healthy countries of the world, will lead to the death of the Earth, unless these sick organisms are brought to loyalty and obedience and unless they are determined to function for the good of the states of the whole world.
The human body is so constituted that the individual cannot function effectively without the participation of every part and organ of his anatomy. Since in a primitive and uncultured state, as in the case of the savages of the jungle, man is powerless, he must be taught to coordinate his organic functions by exercise, education, and sustained work put into the service of determined goals. We must observe that, in order to achieve his exercise, education, and work, the individual must be directed from without. He must be brought to understand this, for only then can he be made to function effectively in the role assigned to him.
The principles of hard individualism, personal determinism, free will, imagination, and personal creativity represent, in the case of the masses opposed to the good of the Great State, much the same thing. These refractory and rebellious forces are nothing more than diseases that will lead to disloyalty, disintegration, and, in time, the collapse of the group to which the individual belongs.
The constitution of man lends itself easily and profoundly to the secure and precise regulation, from without, of all his functions, including those of thought, obedience, and loyalty; if we wish to create a stronger state, all these functions must be controlled.
While the surgeon may find it advisable to amputate a limb or an organ in order to save the rest of the body, this is not possible within nations taken as a whole. It is found that a body lacking some organs functions less efficiently. If the world in which the workers have been thrown into slavery by the sick and absurd stupidity of capitalists and monarchs were to be removed, a certain invalidity of the states throughout the world would be created. It is found that, at the end of a war, the one who has achieved victory is forced to restore the rights of the population of the conquered country, for any action to depopulate an unfaithful part of the world can have serious consequences. On the other hand, if we think of the attack of viruses or bacteria hostile to the body, it is clear that, if the microbes are not defeated, the organ or organism attacked will suffer.
In every state there are certain individuals who act like viruses and microbes: attacking the population or any group within the population, they produce, by their harmful action, a disease of the attacked organ, a disease which then spreads throughout the entire organism. The constitution of man as an autonomous organism and the constitution of the State or a part of the State as a political organism are analogous. The purpose of Psychopolitics is, in the first stage, to organize obedience and to orient the goals that they must pursue and, then, to maintain the state of obedience by annihilating the actions of persons and personalities who could direct the group towards disobedience. In our nation, where things are better ordered and where reason dominates everything, it is not difficult to remove the rebellious bacteria that could attack one of our political entities. But on the battlefield, in less enlightened nations where the Russian state does not yet hold power, it is not so simple to completely remove those with a will of their own. Psychopolitics makes it possible to remove that part of the individual's personality which, by its very existence, wreaks havoc both on the constitution of the person in question and on that of the group to which he belongs.
If the human animal were allowed to live undisturbed by counter-revolutionary propaganda and to act under the well-planned guidance of the State, man would show but few signs of illness, and the State would never become ill. But when the individual is disturbed by conflicting propaganda, when he becomes the effect of revolutionary activities, when he is allowed to entertain critical thoughts even of the State, when he is allowed to doubt those in whose care he is placed, his organism suffers. To this suffering is added that of the heart and other parts of his organism. It is a principle so well verified that whenever a man is ill, if we were to investigate things more deeply, we would discover a misdirected loyalty and a lack of obedience to the group to which the sick man belongs.
Some researchers have recklessly embarked on an "Alice in Wonderland" spiritual journey into what they call the "subconscious" or "unconscious"; they, under the guise of psychotherapy, try to heal diseased organs, but their results are completely unsuccessful. Such an approach has no power. When hypnotism was discovered in Russia, it was observed that it was enough to command the individual lacking psychic resistance to feel good for this to happen in many cases. The weakness of hypnotism was that many individuals were not receptive to its action; for this reason hypnotism had to be improved in the sense of increasing the suggestibility of individuals who could not be approached in any other way. Every nation has experienced its recovery as an integral organism when it acted with sufficient power against the group lacking attachment. Just as any organ can be brought into a state of greater obedience and submission by hypnotism, so any political group can be brought into a state of greater obedience and submission if sufficient force is used for this purpose. Force often leads to destruction, and sometimes you cannot achieve your intended goals by applying too much pressure on the masses. It is therefore necessary to bring individuals into a certain path against their will to obey.
Just as it is a recognized truth that man must adapt to his environment, so, with the passage of time, people increasingly recognize that even the human body can be commanded to heal itself.
The constitution of man makes him very adaptable to the reorientation of the attachments inherent in his being. When these attachments cannot be accepted by the constitution of the individual, such as, for example, attachment to the petty bourgeoisie, to the capitalist system, to anti-Russian ideas, the individual's body is very susceptible to disease; this explains the epidemics of all kinds, neuroses, disorders and confusional states among the masses in the United States and other capitalist countries. Here the worker's attachment is wrongly and improperly oriented, which causes his illness. In order to save him and to orient him correctly towards his goal of creating a superior State, it is absolutely necessary to help him direct his attachment in the right direction. The purpose and direction of Psychopolitics can be clearly understood if we consider that, under capitalism, the attachments of the workers are diverted from their natural path and that their obedience is pursued with great insistence by individuals who do not wish them well; but such individuals are few even in capitalist countries.
To help the workers in such a difficult situation, it is necessary to eliminate, by general propaganda, by other means and by their own cooperation, the goodwill of the perverted leaders. It is also necessary to indoctrinate the educated strata, propagating among them the theses and principles of cooperation with the social environment; in this way the workers will be assured of a less distorted leadership and a better cooperation with the ideas and ideals of the communist state.
The technologies of Psychopolitics are directed towards this goal.

Man as an economic organism
Man has certain desires and needs that are natural to his existence as to the existence of any animal. But Man has the peculiarity of exaggerating them beyond the limits of reason. This is evident if we follow the development of the wealthy classes, pseudo-intellectual groups, the petty bourgeoisie, capitalism and other such crayfish.
It has been rightly said that 10% of man's life is connected with politics and 90% with economic problems. Without food, man dies. Without clothing, he freezes. Without shelter and without weapons, he is easy prey for hungry wolves. The acquisition of goods sufficient to cover these needs of food, clothing and shelter is the natural right of every member of an enlightened state. The excess of these goods brings with it restlessness and disorder. The existence of luxury items, as well as the artificial creation and stimulation of appetites of all kinds, as is done through capitalist advertising, certainly lead to the accentuation of some of the less positive characteristics of Man.
Man is an economic organism because, in order to live, he needs a certain amount of food, a certain amount of water, and a certain amount of heat. When he has more food than he can eat and more clothing than he needs to protect his body, he enters into a state of indolence that dulls his spirit and conscience, making him fall prey to hardships that, in a less bad state, he could have foreseen and avoided. Thus appears greed, which is a Danger to Man.
The situation is the same in the case of the group. When a group of people acquires too many goods, the awareness of the existence of their fellow humans and of the social environment is reduced, and the efficiency of the group is lost.
Maintaining a balance between greed and necessity is a problem of economic science and represents a subject of study and an important concern of the communist state.
Want and need are states of mind. People can be educated to want and demand more than they could ever get, and these people are unhappy. Most of the unsavory characteristics of capitalists come from their greed. The capitalist exploits the worker far more than he, as a capitalist, needs.
In a country where the economic balance is not controlled, the appetites of the individual are unduly stimulated by all sorts of attractive and imaginative inducements; hence a kind of madness results, each individual being urged and persuaded to possess more than he can use and to seize all these goods even to the detriment of his fellow men.
There is another aspect to economic equilibrium. Too great and too long a deprivation can give rise to unhealthy desires which, if not checked, can lead the individual to accumulate more than he can use. Thus, even poverty, so carefully cultivated in capitalist states, can bring about an imbalance in the acquisition of goods. As a vacuum attracts matter, in a country where the deprivation imposed on the masses is tolerated and where desires are artificially stimulated, necessity turns into greed; in such states the exploitation of the many for the benefit of the few easily occurs.
If, through the technologies of Psychopolitics, this excessive greed of the few were tamed, the worker would be free to seek a more natural economic balance.
We are dealing here with two extremes. Each of them presents a kind of dementia. If we want to create a state of dementia and bring an individual to mental imbalance, we have only to overwhelm him by giving him too many goods or to deprive him of them altogether for a period of time that exceeds his power to resist. A simple example is the alternation, in a room, of a pressure that is too low with a pressure that is too high; this is an excellent psychopolitical procedure. By the rapid variation of the pressure, a state of chaos is produced in which the individual will can no longer act and in which, by the force of things, other wills will assume control.
Essentially, on a country-wide scale, in order to govern and control the nation, we must remove, by any means, those who are insatiable for goods, and then we must create and maintain, among the masses, a state of semi-privation. In order to nullify individual will, a continuous hope of prosperity must be maintained among the masses, as well as many dreams of plenty and well-being, this hope having to be counterbalanced by the reality of deprivation and the constant threat of losing all economic means in the event of disloyalty to the State.
In a country in the process of conquest, such as America, in the course of a slow and hidden policy, in order to achieve our goal of exercising ever greater control over individual wills, we need only take advantage of the cycles of economic boom and bust, inherent in capitalist states. For us, the period of economic boom is as advantageous as that of bust, for, in times of prosperity, we need only continue to highlight the wealth that this period offers to its chosen few; in this way we will remove them from the control of the State. In times of economic depression, we need only show that this state has arisen as a result of the greed of a few people and the incompetence of the general policy of the country's leaders. The handling of economic propaganda is not proper to the sphere of Psychopolitics, but the psychopolitician must understand the economic measures and the communist objectives related to them.
The masses must come to believe that only excessive taxation of the rich can relieve them of the "burden of the propertied classes," and be brought to accept a measure like the income tax, a Marxist principle that was imperceptibly introduced into the capitalist legislation of the United States in 1909. And this happened despite the fact that the basic law of the United States forbade such a thing, and despite the fact that, at that time, Communism had only been in operation in America for a few years. If such a great success as the income tax law had been followed by others of equal importance, the United States, and not Russia, would have become the first communist state in the world. But the vitality and common sense of the Russian peoples prevailed. The United States may not become entirely communist until after the middle of the century, but when it does, it will be due to our superior understanding of economic and psycho-political problems.
The communist agent, specializing in economics, has the task of corrupting the personnel of the taxing agencies in order to create as much disorder and chaos as possible. Another of his tasks is to get laws passed that are favorable to our purposes. These tasks must be left to him. The psychopolitical operator plays a different role in this scenario. The wealthy, the financial experts, the well-informed in government matters are the psychopolitical agent's special, individual targets. His role is to take power out of the hands of those who might hinder or compromise the communist economic programs. Every wealthy man, every statesman, every well-informed and competent person in government must have a psychopolitical operator by his side as a trusted confidant.
The families of these people are often deranged by laziness and greed, and this fact must be speculated upon and even created. The normal health and extravagance of a rich man's son must be disturbed and degraded, and then labeled as neuroses, after which, by the administration of drugs or by violence, they may lead to criminality or madness. This fact will bring someone from the "mental health" movement into confidential contact with the family, and from this point on the contact made will be speculated upon to the utmost.
Communism has the greatest chance of success if every rich or influential man could be placed next to a psychopolitical operator, an undisputed authority in the field of "mental health" who, through his advice or through the wife or daughter of the rich or influential man, would be able, by expressing his opinions, to carry out an optimal policy designed to disturb or deregulate the economy of the country. When the time comes, the rich or influential man could be removed forever, by administering a drug or an appropriate treatment that would lead to his disappearance in a sanatorium, as a patient, or to death by suicide.
Placed close to the powerful people of a country, the psychopolitical agent can guide other policies for the success of our cause.
The capitalist does not know the definition of war. He thinks war is a powerful attack carried out with the help of soldiers and machines. He does not know that a more effective war, although somewhat longer, can be fought with bread or, in our case, with drugs and our skill. The capitalist has never actually won a war. The psychopolitician will have no difficulty in winning this one.
4.
The objectives of the State regarding the individual and the masses
Just as in a sick person, the organs, each taken separately, have different goals from the rest of the body, so too do individuals and the State become ill when their objectives are not rigorously codified and fulfilled.
There are individuals who, in less enlightened times, have made Man believe that his goals must be sought and maintained by each one individually and that the whole striving of Man for higher things springs from Freedom. We must remember that the peoples who adopted this philosophy are also those who have maintained in Man the myth of spiritual existence.
All goals have their origin in coercion. Life is a continuous escape. Without force and threat there can be no effort necessary to achieve a goal. Without suffering there can be no desire to escape suffering. Without the threat of punishment nothing can be achieved. Without coercion and authority no discipline of the body's functions can be achieved. Without rigorous and direct control, the objectives of the State cannot be achieved.
The objectives of the State must be formulated by the State in the sense of achieving the submission of individuals within the State and obtaining their agreement. A State in which there are no objectives thus formulated is a sick State. A State lacking the power and the imperative desire to impose its objectives is a sick State.
When the communist state issues an order and this order is not obeyed, disease follows. Where the state of obedience disappears, the masses suffer.
The fulfillment of the State's objectives requires devotion and obedience. When a State objective is subjected to interpretation, it is certain that some self-will, greed, laziness, fierce individualism, or selfish initiative has intervened somewhere. It will be seen that this failure to fulfill the objectives of the Star is due to a person whose lack of attachment and obedience is the direct result of his own disagreement with life.
It is not always necessary to eliminate the individual. It is within our power to eliminate his tendencies to assert his own will in matters concerning the improvement of the objectives and achievements of society. The technologies of Psychopolitics are progressive; on the scale on which they are arranged, one starts from a point above that corresponding to the elimination of the individual himself and reaches a process in which only the tendencies that generate his lack of cooperation are eliminated.
It is not enough for the State to set itself some objectives. These objectives, once presented, must be carried out, and their achievement depends on the attachment and obedience of the workers. Employed for the most part in all kinds of hard work, the workers have no time to waste on speculation, which is a good thing. But, unfortunately, there are above them, in one position or another, all kinds of bosses, and some of them, in the absence of physical work, may have enough leisure time to behave with a certain independence and lack of attachment.
Psychopolitics corrects this tendency toward lack of attachment whenever it exceeds the usual power of persuasion of those who, on the hierarchical scale, are immediately above the person in question.
5.
An analysis of loyalty
Given that loyalty is very important for the economic and social structure of the State, it must be analyzed in more detail.
In the sphere of Psychopolitics, loyalty simply means "alignment", that is, alignment. More precisely, alignment with the goals of the communist state. Lack of loyalty means lack of alignment, non-alignment and, in a broader sense, non-alignment with the objectives of the communist state. If we consider that the objectives of the communist state pursue the good of the masses, we can realize that lack of loyalty, as a term, can imply the idea of democratic non-alignment. Loyalty to people who have not assimilated the communist doctrine is, clearly, a wrong alignment.
The measures against disloyalty are entirely contained in the principles of framing. When an individual shows disloyalty, we must make his goals align with the goals of communism, and we will see how many negative things in his previous existence will disappear.
A heart or kidney in rebellion against the rest of the body is an organ that is disloyal to the rest. In order for the heart and kidneys to heal, their activities must be integrated into the functioning of the rest of the body.
The technologies of Psychopolitics demonstrate the applicability of this principle. A moderate electric shock can, and does, restore the cooperation of the rebelling organ. In fact, the realignment of the disloyal part of the body is accomplished more by this shock and by the punitive nature of the surgical operation than by the operation itself. What causes a disloyal organ to turn its attention back to the support of the whole organism is not so much the therapeutic value of the X-rays as the process of bombarding it with these rays. Even if electric shock has no therapeutic value capable of making a man healthier, it is rightly considered that its punitive value will create in the patient a more cooperative attitude. Brain surgery has no statistical data to recommend it for anything other than removing the individual personality from the way of the organs it does not allow to cooperate. These two methods, developed in Russia, never claimed to change the state of human health. They are effective and useful when the problem arises of introducing into someone's personality an appropriate mechanism of punishment, with the aim of making it stop from the path and the egotistical direction that the body itself has started. The violence of electric shock and brain surgery are useful in subduing the recalcitrant personality, which represents the most important obstacle standing in the way of the masses or the State. It is sometimes found that the removal of the recalcitrant personality, by electric shock and surgical operation, allows the organs that this personality had brought into a state of rebellion to be restored and reestablished. The effective use of electric shock and brain surgery is clearly demonstrated by the fact that a well-regulated State is made up of organisms and not of personalities.
In its first phase, loyalty change consists in eradicating existing loyalty. This can be accomplished in one of two ways. The first way is to demonstrate that existing attachments have led to physically dangerous situations, such as imprisonment, denial of merit, coercion, or deprivation of all kinds; the second way is to eradicate the individual's personality itself.
The first is achieved by a persistent and continuous indoctrination of the individual into the belief that his previous attachments were directed towards a worthless target. One of the most effective methods of maintaining this is to create negative circumstances, apparently caused by the very target to which the individual's loyalty had previously been directed, which causes a state of rejection to arise in his being. An integral part of the procedure is the creation of a special state of mind in the individual, achieved by depriving him of his freedom and by providing falsified evidence, designed to demonstrate that the reason for his detention is precisely the wrong target to which his attachment had previously been directed. Another part of the same method consists of defaming and degrading the person whose loyalty is to be changed, in front of those who represent the target of his loyalty (such as, for example, his superiors or management), in such a way that, over time, they form a bad opinion of him, reject him, and finally convince him by their behavior that his loyalty was misplaced. These are more moderate methods of work, but they have proven to be extremely effective. The greatest disadvantage in their use is that the fabrication of false evidence requires time and concentration on the part of the psychopolitical operator.
In emergency cases, which are many, one can resort to modifying the individual's personality by means of electric shock, surgical operations, coercion, deprivations of all kinds, and, above all, by resorting to implantation and the technologies of neohypnotism, which represent the best technique in Psychopolitics. This coercive treatment must include, in its first phase, an action of defamation of the old loyalty, followed, in the second phase, by the action of implanting the new one. A competent and experienced psychopolitical operator, using psychopolitical technologies and working under the best conditions, can change the loyalty of an individual so well that not even his friends have any suspicion that a change has occurred. This, however, requires much more finesse. Mass neohypnotism can lead to approximately the same results, if it is led by an experienced psychopolitical observer. The ultimate goal of such a procedure could be to change the loyalty of an entire nation in a short period of time, through the use of mass neohypnotism, which has been effectively achieved in some states in Russia.
Loyalty has been shown to be devoid of that mythical characteristic known as spiritual quality. Loyalty is entirely a matter of dependence, economic or mental. It can be changed by the most brutal implementations. Observing what happens to factory and field workers, we see that they easily become attached to their boss or to some woman, and then, just as easily, leave them, replacing them with other people, and, at the same time, rejecting the people to whom they had previously directed their attachment. The state of insecurity in which the masses find themselves in capitalist countries makes such things happen more often than in an enlightened state like Russia. In capitalist states, dependencies are so marked by cowardice, desires and deprivations so exaggerated, that loyalty is completely devoid of ethical foundation; it exists only in connection with the idea of dependence, of coercion or demand.
Fortunately, Communism comes very close to an ideal state of mind; that is why the change of loyalty is somewhat easier, especially since all other philosophies existing and practiced on earth today are, in comparison with the Communist philosophy, degraded and perverted. The psychopolitical agent works safely, because he knows that he can change the loyalty of an individual, bringing it to a level closer to the ideal, by appealing to reason alone, and that he needs the various methods of psychopolitical psychology only in urgent cases. Any man who cannot be convinced by Communist arguments must be considered mentally unsound, and in this case the use of the techniques of insanity for non-Communists is fully justified.
To effect a change of allegiance, it is necessary first to establish what loyalties the individual in question shares. The task becomes very easy, since capitalist and fascist states are not very sure of the attachment of their subjects. In this case, we may find that the loyalty of the "subjects" (that is, of any person to whom the technology of Psychopolitics is to be applied) is too weak to require eradication. In general, for an individual to shift his loyalty to the Russian state, it is enough to carry out a work of persuasion, using logic and arguments, highly rational, pleading in favor of communism. We should not spend too much time with each individual, the time allotted to each being determined by the importance of the "subject"; if communist propaganda fails, emotional coercion, electric shocks, or brain surgery must be resorted to. If it is a very important person, it may be necessary to use some more delicate psychopolitical technologies, but in such a way that both the person in question and those around him cannot realize the operation. In this case, an implantation is done, with maximum value of coercion and command. To carry out such an implantation, the most competent psychopolitical operators are used, because a poorly done job could bring to light the operation of transforming the mental processes to which the subject is subjected. In the case of an important person, if there is any doubt about the success of the operation, it is much more advisable to choose as psychopolitical targets some people close to the personality in question and to whom he is emotionally connected. Normally, his wife and children are the best targets and they can be worked on without any restraint. To secure the loyalty of a very important person, we must place in his immediate vicinity a permanent supporter of our cause who, through sexual or family relations, should always act in the service of communism. It may not be necessary to make his wife and children communists, as this method may also prove effective. In most cases, however, such a thing is not possible.
In our modern era and within the psychopolitical reality it is very easy to provoke a state of severe neurosis or mental imbalance in the wife or children, through the use of various drugs; in this way, with the full approval of the relevant important person, the leadership of the state or the office where he works, the patient is placed in the hands of a psychopolitical operator.
This person, in his own laboratory, without any restrictions or fear, will be investigated or controlled, perhaps using electric shock, surgery, sexual assault, drugs or other effective methods, to degrade or completely change the personality of that family member and make him a subject brought into slavery through Psychopolitics. This person, on command or at a signal, will commit immoral actions, discrediting the important relative, or, on a more subtle level, will ask that important person to take certain measures which, of course, will be dictated by the psychopolitical operator.
Usually, when the Party is not really interested in the activity or decisions of an important person, but only wishes to distance him from any effective action, the attention that the psychopolitical agent pays to him does not have to be so great; it is enough for the person in question to be given into the hands of a simple, less qualified practitioner who, having been trained by psychopolitical agents, will know how to put all kinds of obstacles in his way.
When the individual's loyalty cannot be changed, and when his opinions, ability, and efficiency clearly stand in the way of the achievement of communist goals, the best thing to do is to induce a moderate neurosis in him by any means at hand. And then, by skillfully talking to him about his mental imbalance, to induce him to commit suicide, or to cause his death in such a way that his death resembles suicide. Working with great skill, psychopolitical operators have solved such situations tens of thousands of times, both inside Russia and outside it.
According to a well-established principle of Psychopolitics, the person to be destroyed must first be directly or indirectly stigmatized as mentally unbalanced. He must be brought into contact with psychopolitical operators or with people trained by them, who will make as much noise and publicity as possible around that mental imbalance. The reputation of the person in question is sealed, and that stigma of madness must be carefully maintained by various irrational acts - his own or those in his immediate vicinity. This activity may be considered as a partial destruction of his old "alignment"; if the destruction is carried to the end, the individual's release from all his old, misguided attachments may be considered complete, and one can proceed, in complete safety, to the induction of new attachments.
By causing the mental imbalance or suicide of the wife of a prominent political figure, a disturbance is created in his psyche that is large enough to change his attitude. This action, continued with perseverance or aided by psychopolitical implantation, can mark the beginning of the reconstruction of new attachments, oriented, this time, in a better and more correct direction.
Another argument in favor of carrying out psychopolitical activities by inducing a state of mental imbalance is that mental illnesses are looked upon with a kind of contempt and that anything that comes into contact with them is treated superficially. For these reasons, a psychopolitical operator, working with a mentally ill person, can reject and disapprove of any accusation brought against him, demonstrating that the family of the patient in question is affected by madness. This method is amazingly effective in capitalist countries, where mental illnesses cause such fear that no one even thinks of making investigations into them. Psychopolitical propaganda is constantly working and must constantly work to strengthen and maintain an aura of mystery around mental illnesses; it must increase the horror and hopelessness caused by these illnesses in order to explain the non-therapeutic measures taken against the patient. In capitalist countries, in particular, a nervously unbalanced person is deprived of rights before the law. No mentally unbalanced person can testify before the courts. By doing so, a wonderful path opens before us, along which we can walk towards reaching our goal and fulfilling our destiny.
By convincing the world that a person's mental health is in question, we can easily discredit and annihilate all their plans and activities. By demonstrating the insanity of a group or government, we can make the people not recognize them. By constantly amplifying the general human reaction to mental illness, by constantly keeping the subject of insanity in the public eye, and by using this reaction to create a revulsion among the population against its leaders, we can suspend any government and put an end to any movement.
It is important to know that all these actions must be done with the greatest possible skill. One of the first and most important missions of the psychopolitician is to make attacking communism synonymous with madness. The definition of madness, namely that of the paranoid, must become the following: "The paranoid is the one who believes that he is being attacked by the communists". In this way, at once, any support for the one who attacks communism will collapse and perish.
Instead of executing national leaders, they will be eliminated by suicide, under circumstances that will call into question the cause of their death. In this way we can remove all opposition to the spread of communism in the world and make the masses who would like to oppose us leaderless; in the state of chaos and confusion that we will create, we will be able to proceed with great ease to implant the clear and forceful doctrines of communism.
Our psychopolitical attacks must be conducted with such skill and in such a way that they cannot be understood either by private individuals or by officials, who are mostly not endowed with much intelligence; by working all the time under the banner of authority and by constantly saying that the principles of psychotherapy are too complicated for non-specialists to understand, we can carry out a real revolution, without the population having any suspicion before this revolution has become an accomplished fact.
Since madness represents a maximum of disorder, it can be considered a weapon of maximum efficiency for cutting off the individual's "attachments to certain leaders and to the old social order. This is why it is of the greatest importance that psychopolitical agents infiltrate the midst of the nation we want to conquer, occupying an influential place among those working in the health field. From this position, they must exercise continuous pressure on the population and on the government, until the conquest takes place. This is the very object and purpose of Psychopolitics.
In reconstructing attachments, we must have control over their values. In man, as in any animal, the first attachment is to himself. This attachment can be destroyed by showing him that he is wrong, that he does not remember all sorts of things, that in many situations he cannot act and that, consequently, he should not trust himself. Man's second attachment is to his family, to his parents, brothers and sisters. This attachment can be destroyed by making the members of the family economically independent of each other, by minimizing the value of marriage, by easing the formalities of divorce and by making sure that, whenever possible, children are raised by the state. Man's next attachment is directed towards friends and the environment. This attachment can be destroyed by undermining his confidence in his friends and by reporting to him all sorts of false statements, which are presented to him as having been made about him by friends or by various authorities in the town or village. Next comes attachment to the State, which, taking into account the objectives of communism, is the only attachment that must exist after the State has become a communist state. In order to destroy attachment to the capitalist state, all kinds of prohibitions will be put into effect concerning the life of the youth; in this way, the youth will be deprived of their rights in the capitalist state and, through promises of a better life under communism, their attachment to the communist movement will be won.
Denying people in a capitalist country easy access to justice, triggering and supporting propaganda to destroy the home, creating and sustaining continued juvenile delinquency, imposing all kinds of practices designed to separate the child from the State, will ultimately create the state of chaos necessary for communism.
Under the attractive guise of providing help, harsh child labor laws are the best means to deny children any rights in society. By denying them fair pay, forcing them into an unwanted state of dependence on their parents, and making their parents constantly stressed out over lack of money, children can be encouraged to rebel from adolescence. This is where delinquency will be born.
By making drugs of all kinds easily accessible, giving teenagers alcohol, praising them for their follies, stimulating their instincts towards pornographic readings and advertising various erotic practices, as conceived by Sexpol, the psychopolitical operator can create the necessary state of chaos, laziness and baseness, a context in which he will then provide the solution capable of offering the teenager complete freedom in all areas: Communism.
If possible, the youth's military service will be prolonged beyond a reasonable time limit, by starting unpopular wars and by all sorts of other means, because the time spent in the army always represents an obstacle to the young man's life projects, destroying any immediate hope of taking part in the civil life of his people.
By these means, the patriotism of the young people towards their capitalist countries will be so diminished that they will no longer be a danger as soldiers. Since the achievement of this objective may take many decades, the capitalists, with their short-term view, will never understand the far-reaching perspective of our objectives.
If we could kill national pride and patriotism, even of just one generation, we could consider ourselves to have conquered the country. It follows that continuous propaganda must be carried out to undermine the attachment of citizens, especially teenagers, to their capitalist country.
The role of the psychopolitical operator is very great. He can, from his position of authority in matters concerning the human mind, recommend all kinds of destructive measures. He can recommend that parents no longer control their children in any way; in the best case, he can instruct the entire nation in the way children should be treated; this instruction will be done in such a way that the children, deprived of all control and of a real home, will go crazy, without considering that they have any responsibility to the nation or to themselves.
Removing the youth's attachment to the capitalist nation prepares the ground for their re-education towards an attachment to communism. By creating and encouraging drug addiction, sexual debauchery, and uncontrolled freedom, and presenting them to the youth as the advantages of communism, we will easily succeed in winning them over to our side.
Where there are strong leaders in the youth groups, the psychopolitical agent can act in several ways, using them or removing them. If the leader in question, boy or girl, is to be used, his character must be carefully changed, directing him towards criminal paths, after which he must be kept under control by blackmail or other means. If the leader in question is not receptive to this change, resisting all our methods of persuasion, if we consider that he might become dangerous to our cause, we must spare no effort to direct the attention of the authorities to him and to harass him in every way, until he falls into the hands of the authorities dealing with youth. Having arrived at this point, we can hope that the psychopolitical agent, in his capacity as a counselor in matters relating to children, will succeed, in the complete safety of prison and under the cover of the law, in destroying his health. Bright students, high-performance athletes, and youth group leaders should be treated in one of two ways.
As far as the direction of the activities of the juvenile courts is concerned, the task of the psychopolitical agent is very easy. In capitalist countries there is generally so much injustice that the addition of a little more goes unnoticed. In the juvenile courts there are always people with more peculiar inclinations, judges,
police officers or guards. If such people do not exist, they can be created. By giving them girls and boys to take care of, in the "safety" that the prison or detention center offers, and appearing at the right time
With cameras or witnesses, we will have a weapon with which, if necessary, we will be able to direct all future decisions of those involved as we wish.
Cases involving young people should be handled in the courts in such a way that they are increasingly viewed not so much as violations of the law as as "mental problems"; and this until the entire nation comes to think more of "mental problems" than of criminal acts. This way of looking at things will create vacancies everywhere, in the courts, in the law offices, in the police; these positions can be filled by psychopolitical agents who, through their influence, will become the great judges of the country and have in their hands the entire control of crime, without whose help a revolution can never be accomplished.
As the authority of psychopolitical agents in matters concerning youth and adults grows stronger, they will be so much in demand that, one day, even the military services, recognizing their authority in "mental problems," will want to use them to solve their various cases; from this moment on, the armed forces of the nation will fit into our hands, who will have as great an authority over them as if we were their own commanders.
Thanks to our advantage of having an experienced agent for every technician or member of the military secret services, the country, in the event of revolutions, as happened in Germany in 1918 and 1919, will find itself in the hands of communism, completely immobilized by its own army and navy. The problem of attachment and realignment is therefore, in fact, the problem of conquering the enemy without the use of arms.

The problem of obedience
Obedience is the result of the use of force.
Throughout the history of the earth, wherever we look, we find that obedience to new rulers comes from the fact that these rulers have proven themselves to be stronger than those who came before them. A people, subdued and conquered by war, submits to their conqueror. They are subject to their conqueror because their conqueror has shown himself capable of greater strength.
Force resembles brutality, because the latter involves human traits that are also representative of force. The most barbaric, unbridled, and brutal use of force, if carried far enough, brings with it the obedience of the one against whom it is directed. Any individual, subjected to savage force long enough, comes to accept any principle or any order.
Force is the antithesis of actions that humanize. In the human mind it is synonymous with savagery, lawlessness, brutality, and barbarity; it is enough to display an inhuman attitude toward people for them to recognize your power.
People will submit to any organization that has the strength and courage to manifest its cruelty, savagery, brutality and total lack of humanity towards them. This use of force constitutes, in itself, the essential element of greatness. It is enough to think of the numerous examples given by our great communist leaders who, in moments of great tension and severe trial, having to face the tsarist power, continued to fight over the heads of an enslaved population and showed sufficient courage not to stop for a moment in their action to transform the Russian state into a communist state.
If you want people to obey you without grumbling, you must not "give in." If you want people to obey you blindly, you must make it clear that you have no mercy for anything or anyone. Man is an animal. In the final analysis, he understands only the things that an animal understands.
An example of this is an individual who refuses to obey. He is beaten, and after that his refusal to obey becomes less vehement. He is beaten again, and his resistance decreases still further. If he is given beating after beating, at some point his sure thought remains that of obeying the person from whom the force emanated. The principle of the effectiveness of force is a proven principle; it is the main principle that Man, the human animal, has used since ancient times. It is the only effective principle, the only principle that has led to an uninterrupted and widespread belief. The fact that an individual who is constantly beaten by someone ends up, in time, believing, as if hypnotized, everything that the person who administered the blows tells him, is to our advantage.
The stupidity of the Western world is best demonstrated by the fact that it believes that hypnotism is something that involves the mind, attention, and subconscious of man. It is not
true. The effectiveness of hypnotism on a person cannot be guaranteed unless that person has previously been beaten, subjected to severe punishments, and mistreated without mercy. A number of authorities in
Western hypnotism experts have determined that only 20% of people can be hypnotized. This statement is not true at all.
If they are given a sufficient number of beatings and punishments, all people, at any time and anywhere, become receptive to hypnosis. In other words, with the help of force, hypnotism is effective in all cases. When the state of unconsciousness cannot be induced by the simple concentration of the hypnotist, it can be induced by drugs, blows, electric shocks or other means. In cases where the state of unconsciousness cannot be induced to such an extent that an implantation can be carried out or a hypnotic command can become effective, it is enough to amputate certain parts of the human animal's brain to cancel it and make it no longer a threat to us. Taking into account the above, we consider that hypnotism is a particularly effective method.
The mechanism of hypnotism clearly demonstrates that people can be made to believe in certain things, in their surroundings or in politics, by the administration of force. This is why the psychopolitician must be an expert in the administration of force regimes. By acting in this way, he can bring into obedience not only a good part of the population, but even the entire population and even the government. It is enough to show enough cruelty and to have an attitude sufficiently devoid of humanity and mercy, and he will be listened to and believed.
The problem of hypnotism is a problem 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 population exists to the extent that the people will believe in the one to whom they are obeying.
Some despicable religions, such as Christianity, have known this. They have known that if a strong faith is induced in people, they can be brought to their knees by the very ridiculous Christian ideas that preach love of man and mercy, and thus disarmed. But to bring people into a state of great obedience, we do not need to resort to this act of religious faith. To make people believe in us and obey us, it is enough to show enough brutality and cruelty. Since communism is a matter of faith, its study is a study of force.
The first Russian psychiatrists, pioneers of the science of psychiatry, understood that hypnosis is induced by an acute state of fear. They discovered that it can also be induced by emotional shock, a state of extreme deprivation, as well as by beatings and drugs.
To induce a strong state of hypnosis in an individual, a group of individuals, or a population, the presence of an element of terror from those who want to dominate is always mandatory. The psychiatrist is well suited to assume this role, because his brutalities are committed in the name of the target, are inexplicably complicated, and completely exceed the power of people to understand them. A sufficiently great fear, inspired by the psychiatrist, will induce a state of dementia in many individuals. The psychopolitical agent can then, protected by his recognized authority, begin and continue a propaganda campaign, describing various "treatments" that are administered to the patient. The psychopolitical agent must always insist on the fact that these treatments are therapeutic and necessary. He can find in his books a large number of patients whom he can claim to have been cured by these means. But these treatments do not have to lead, in reality, to the cure of any patient. As long as psychopolitical agents or those influenced by them are the sole authorities to determine whether a man is sane or insane, their word as to the therapeutic value of such treatment will be decisive. No outsider will dare to venture any opinion on the state of health of an individual whom the psychiatrist has declared insane. The individual in question cannot make any complaint, and his family is also discredited by the fact that a case of madness has arisen in their midst. Care must be taken to keep all other specialists in mental illness at a distance, otherwise it may be revealed that the brutalities practiced in the name of treatment are not therapeutic.
A psychopolitical agent has no interest in using truly therapeutic methods or the drugs indicated for recovery. The more the number of madmen in the country in which he operates, the more
The larger the agent is, the more people will come under his control and the greater his privileges will be. Since the problem of mental illness involves many uncontrollable elements, the agent
The psychopolitician can create a special atmosphere around him, giving the impression that he is dealing with urgent and extreme situations; by doing so, he can justify the use of treatments such as electric shocks, frontal lobotomy, transorbital leucotomy, and other operations that have long been practiced on political prisoners in Russia.
The psychopolitical operator has an interest in the possibility of treating the mentally unbalanced being outlawed and prohibited. In order to make a part of the population submit to us without grumbling and in order to be able to control its general reactions, we must, at all costs, maintain a certain level of brutality. Only in this way can total confidence be maintained in the absolute decisions issued by the psychopolitical agent regarding the normality or lack of normality of public people. If the psychopolitical agent is brutal enough towards the patients, the people will come to blindly believe anything he says about them. The most important thing is that this field of mental processes be dominated by the psychopolitical agent to a sufficient extent so that any idea can be inculcated by hypnotic means. Having all categories of people under his psychological control, the psychopolitical agent can achieve a total transformation of the future leaders of a country, intervening in their education process and, in this way, preparing them for communism.
To be blindly obeyed, one must be believed. If an individual is given enough credence, he will be obeyed without complaint.
In the case where the psychopolitical agent is fortunate enough to control a person close to a prominent politician, this factor of absolute obedience becomes particularly important. The person under psychiatric treatment must be brought into a state of great fear so that he will take over, without complaint, all the orders given by the psychopolitical agent and, in this way, be able to influence the actions of the political personality who must be won over to our cause.
The idea that the psychopolitical agent must always be believed by the people and their leaders could have a great effect. Without exaggeration, we can hope that in a country like the United States, psychopolitical agents will become closer advisors to political figures, influencing the entire policy of a party and its actions in elections.
Perspective is the most important way to see things. Faith is induced by fear and terror from an authoritarian level; it is then followed by a state of total submission.
The general propaganda that best serves Psychopolitics is that which continually insists on the idea that at certain levels, with authority in the medical field, the treatments it proposes for curing mental illness are considered to be the correct ones. These treatments must always include a certain dose of brutality. The propaganda made must constantly talk about the increase in the number of mentally ill people in the country. For the good of the nation, the entire field of human behavior can, in time, be extended to abnormal behavior. Thus, anyone who shows any unusual behavior, especially the eccentricity of combating Psychopolitics, can be silenced by the authoritative opinion of the psychopolitical agent, according to which his actions are abnormal. With a little luck, the individual who represents a threat to us can be given into the hands of the psychopolitical operator, who will annihilate him forever or change his attachments through a treatment based on physical pain, drugs and hypnotism.
As for obedience itself, the best is that which completely excludes one's own thinking. The order given must be obeyed without the subject thinking about it. Therefore the order must be implanted in the mind of the one we want to influence, in areas deeper than those in which the thought processes take place, and must act on him in such a way as to prevent him from judging.
It is in the interest of Psychopolitics to tell the public that a hypnotized person will do nothing against his own will, that he will not commit immoral acts, and that he will not do anything that will endanger himself. But if this is true of parlor hypnotism, it is not at all true of orders implanted by the use of electric shock, drugs, or severe physical punishment. It is to be expected that psychopolitical agents have completely discredited this idea in the eyes of the public. If the public knew that, under the influence of deeply implanted commands through hypnosis, individuals who have been subjected to this treatment can commit life-threatening acts and perform all kinds of immoral acts, they would understand the truth about the actions of many people who are working, without realizing it, in favor of communism. Individuals who act on commands implanted through hypnosis must appear to be acting of their own will and conviction.
In order to defend the entire field of psychopolitical hypnosis, of Psychopolitics in general, it is necessary for authoritative sources to continually protest that such things are not possible, and if a psychopolitical agent is exposed, he must declare that the whole process is, from a physical point of view, an impossibility and use his authority to dispel any accusation. If any psychopolitical document is discovered, it must be trivialized and labeled as a hoax. In this way, psychopolitical activities can be easily defended.
When psychopolitical activities have reached a large scale, there is almost no way back, for the population is already in a state of total submission to the psychopolitical agents and their acolytes. This state of total submission is important because the absolute authority enjoyed by the psychopolitical agent before the masses makes his statements, intended to nullify any suspicion regarding psychopolitical actions, irrefutable by anyone. The best situation would be one in which our people would end up occupying all positions from which they could be consulted by state officials on matters related to Psychopolitics. The psychiatric advisor must be placed in such a way that he is consulted in any governmental action. Since, in this situation, the task of resolving suspicions regarding Psychopolitics will fall to the psychopolitical agent, no action will ever be taken against communism and its purpose will be achieved.
From the layman's point of view, Psychopolitics is based on strange things, which cannot be easily understood. These are its best defenses, but above all means of defense is the state of total obedience of officials and the population, which is achieved through the work of the psychopolitical operator in the field of mental health.
7.
Stimulus-response mechanisms in humans
Man is an animal that functions on the basis of the stimulus-response mechanism. His entire capacity to think, even his ethical and soft principles, are based on this mechanism. This was demonstrated long ago by Russian scientists such as Pavlov; the principles underlying this mechanism were used long ago to re-educate the recalcitrant, to educate children and to induce the best possible behavior in the population.
Having no will of his own, Man is easy to manipulate through stimulus-response mechanisms. It is enough to install a stimulus in the human brain, which will then be reactivated whenever an external command awakens him from his dormant state.
The stimulus-response mechanisms are easy to understand. Man registers the image of every action in his environment. When brutality, terror, shock, and the like are included in these actions, the mental image recorded contains all these elements in itself. If the individual has been struck, the pain of the blow will be felt again whenever the individual is called upon to respond to a command from an external source.
For example, if an individual is beaten and is told all the time that he must blindly obey certain officials, in the future, when he ceases to obey, he will begin to feel the pain he felt when he was beaten. The pain installed in the mind acts like a guard, because the individual's experience shows him that he cannot oppose those officials and that if he does not obey them, he will be beaten.
The human mind can function in a very complex way in its responses to stimuli. Hypnotism has easily demonstrated that a whole chain of commands can be induced in the human mind by beatings, shocks, or terror; they will remain there, as if asleep, until they are awakened from their torpor by some resemblance between the circumstances in the external environment and those in which the so-called "punishment incident" took place.
In the case of the stimulus we call the "punishment incident", for the response mechanism to take place, it need only comprise a small part of the stimulus; this will awaken in the individual's mind the image of his punishment incident, an image that will act against the body, making him relive the moment of pain at that time. As long as the individual is submissive and follows the commands
given to him at the time of the implantation of the stimulus, he suffers nothing. In every civilized country, the behavior of children is regulated in this way. The father, seeing that he cannot make the child obey him, resorts to physical violence; after, on several occasions, administering physical punishment to the child, he is rewarded by the fact that, whenever he asks for something, the child obeys him immediately and without grumbling. But because parents are usually gentle with their children, they rarely administer to them a dose of punishment sufficient to obtain from them complete obedience. The power of the organism to resist punishment is very great. A complete response can only be obtained by using stimuli brutal enough to really injure the organism. The method used by the Cossacks to tame their horses is a telling example. The horse cannot be tamed
and does not obey any command of the one who wants to ride it. The rider, wanting to tame it, mounts it, takes a bottle of vodka and breaks it, hitting it between the ears with it. Falling to his knees and with his eyes full of alcohol, which he takes for blood, the horse will immediately obey the rider and, in the future, no further action of taming will be necessary.
The difficulties in taming horses are caused only by the fact that the punishments administered are too light. There is a sentimental and breathless mentality regarding this "kneeling of the spirit"; but we must not forget that, in this case, we aim to have a horse that will obey the rider's commands and that, to achieve this, we must use a sufficient dose of brutality.
The stimulus-response mechanisms are such that pain and command can be subdivided to balance each other. The mental image of punishment will not act on the individual unless he obeys the command. In many writings of the first Russian scientists who worked in the field, it is emphasized that this mechanism allows survival. It was used successfully for the survival of communism.
To obtain an adequate response, it is enough to implant a sufficiently strong stimulus in the body.
As long as the organism obeys the stimulus, whenever it is reactivated, it will not suffer the physical pain associated with it; but, the moment it ceases to obey the command of the stimulus, the stimulus reacts and punishes it. This is one of the basic principles of Psychopolitics. A stimulus well installed in the mind of an individual will act in the future as a police mechanism, determining him to obey and follow the commands and directives given to him. If he ceases to follow them, the mechanism of the stimulus will come into action. Since the commands are associated in the mind of the individual with moments of brutality, he will obey them without the need for their repetition; the individual will obey the directives given by the psychopolitical agent even if he is thousands of miles away. These principles, discovered by Pavlov and then developed by scientists of the Russian school, are of enormous use in our struggle for the victory of communism, for the less modern and less informed countries of the earth, which do not know this mechanism and cannot understand it, and which our psychopolitical agents keep in a state of drowsiness, will certainly fall victim to it.
The human body is less able to resist stimuli if it is undernourished and exhausted. It follows from this that all these stimuli must be administered to the individual after the resistance of his body has been greatly reduced by starvation and excessive physical fatigue. By not letting him sleep for several days in a row and not giving him sufficient food, we will bring him into the state most conducive to the reception of the stimulus. If, after being brought into this state, an electric shock is administered to him and, during the administration of the shock, he is told that he must obey orders and commit certain acts, he has no other choice but to do everything that is asked of him or to relive the electric shock, as it appears to him in the image, well imprinted, in his mind. This mechanism, so well founded scientifically and with such great applicability, is of inestimable value for the practice of Psychopolitics.
Drugging an individual results in their physical exhaustion; if an individual is given drugs or shocks and beatings and, during this time, given a series of commands, their way of feeling and thinking can be permanently changed. It is the PDH method, that is, the method based on Punishment-Drug-Hypnosis.
During his professional training, the psychopolitical agent must carefully study both hypnotism and post-hypnotic suggestion. He must pay special attention to that aspect of hypnotism called the "forgetting mechanism," a mechanism based on implantation in the subconscious. The psychopolitical agent must especially note the fact that if a person in a state of hypnosis is given a command and then told to forget it, he will execute it after awakening from the trance, when he receives a stimulus-response signal from outside.
After mastering all these details, working on criminals, prisoners or patients admitted to hospitals, the psychopolitical agent can achieve hypnotic trance through the use of drugs and induce post-hypnotic suggestions through physical punishment inflicted on the person while he is under the action of the drugs. The psychopolitical agent will then be able to study the reactions of the "awake" person and give him the stimulus-response signal that will put into action the commands implanted under hypnosis and tension. Through long practice, the psychopolitical agent will learn what are the minimum doses, starting from which the different drugs become effective, and what is the amount of violence, expressed in the number and intensity of electric shocks or additional shocks achieved through drugs, necessary to bring the person to a state of maximum obedience to the commands. The psychopolitical agent must convince himself that there cannot and should be no method known to man that can make the patient aware of what has happened to him; the patient must be kept in a state of total obedience, which will make him respond without complaint to the commands given, but in total ignorance of the cause of this state.
Working on criminals and prisoners, the psychopolitical agent in training must conduct experiments that highlight the effect of using violence in the absence of deprivation; to this end, he must administer electric shocks, beatings, and terror-inducing tactics to the target, accompanied by mechanisms identical to those used in hypnotism, and carefully observe the individual's behavior upon emerging from the state of tension induced by violence.
The psychopolitical agent must carefully observe those who show a tendency towards rebellion, in order to recognize the possible return to memory of the commands implanted by him. Out of pure scientific curiosity, the psychopolitical agent must also convince himself of the effectiveness of brain surgery in the action of annihilating the recalcitrant.
The prestige and courage of the psychopolitical operator can be greatly increased if people who have proven recalcitrant and have been subjected to PDH (Punishment-Drug-Hypnosis) treatment have the opportunity to see how discredited the statements of people qualified as mentally unbalanced are.
Exercises must also be made to provoke seizures of madness, simply by a signal given to the persons on whom the PDH method has been applied, as well as exercises to provoke these seizures through discussions held in certain places and at certain times .
To gain full confidence, the psychopolitical agent in training must practice in the field of brain surgery, as it was developed in Russia, thus informing himself about: 1) the precarious conditions in which it can be performed; 2) the safety of erasing the stimulus-response mechanism from memory; 3) the possibility of inducing a state of imbecility and idiocy, and 4) the few comments that serious accidents that occur during brain operations cause.
The psychopolitical agent must also practice sexual attacks, in order to demonstrate the inability of patients, in a state of hypnosis induced by the PDH method, to remember that an attack occurred on them, during which the desire to intensify their sexual activity was induced. In all animals, sex is a powerful factor that can motivate their actions; it is the same for the human animal. Through his actions, the psychopolitical agent must demonstrate that he can arrange sexual relations between the women of the targeted family and certain men, and that this can be done under his control and in complete safety; in this way, the psychopolitical agent has in his hands an excellent weapon to destroy family relationships and, as a result, to make the targeted personalities publicly blamed.
Man can be trained as a dog can be trained. Man can be trained as a horse can be trained. Sexual desire, masochism and any other perversion can be induced by the PD.H. method, that is, by the method based on Punishment-Drug-Hypnosis, used for the benefit of Psychopolitics.
Shifts in loyalty, state of submission, and sources of command can be easily achieved through psychopolitical technologies; before beginning to work on high-value psychopolitical targets, the psychopolitical agent must practice and understand all of these things well.
The simplicity of the PDH method, based on Punishment-Drug-Hypnosis, the use of electric shock, the use of drugs, the production of madness through injections and other methods must be completely masked, resorting to a very technical nomenclature, always saying, with authority, that everything being done is for the benefit of the patient and carefully cultivating the superior positions in the country to be conquered.
Although the psychopolitical agent working in universities, where he can directly influence the content of psychology courses, is often tempted to teach receptive students some principles of Psychopolitics, he must limit himself to presenting to the students, under the guise of psychology, the information necessary for the knowledge of communist doctrine. He must also limit his activity to creating a state of mind among the students that will make them accept communist principles, considering them modern and scientific.
Except for those whom he is training to become his collaborators, the psychopolitical agent should not, under any circumstances, introduce students to the problems of stimulus-response mechanisms or present them with the principles of Psychopolitics. It is not necessary to do so, and it is dangerous.

Degradation, shock and strength
The notions of degradation and conquest are closely related. In order to be conquered, a nation must first be degraded through war, occupation, the imposition of humiliating peace treaties, or the subjugation of its population by the victorious army. But degradation can be accomplished much more insidiously and effectively through a powerful and sustained campaign of defamation.
Defamation is the best weapon of Psychopolitics. A systematic, continuous and constant campaign must be carried out to degrade national leaders, national institutions, national practices and national heroes; but this is the main task of the members of the communist party in general, and not of the psycho-politician.
The psychopolitician has the task of defaming and degrading Man in what he represents in himself. By attacking the character and moral principles of man and inducing, by contaminating the youth, a general feeling of degradation, it will be much easier to subjugate the population.
There is a curve of degradation that descends to a point where the individual's resistance becomes almost nil; any action directed against the individual who has reached this state will cause him a great shock that will destroy his power of resistance and will make him accept, hypnotically, whatever is said to him. For example, a captured soldier may be mistreated, degraded and humiliated until he is brought to such a state that even the most insignificant gesture of his tormentors will make him tremble with fear. He will submit without complaint or change his feelings and beliefs at the first command of his oppressors. If degraded to the necessary limit, the prisoner may be made to kill even his compatriots in the same camp with him. Experiments on German prisoners have shown that after seventy days of starvation, sleeplessness, and miserable accommodation, the individual reached such a state that even the slightest gesture made against him caused him a powerful shock that destroyed his power of resistance and made him accept, hypnotically, whatever was said to him. By doing so, we can bring thousands of prisoners in a camp into a state of total obedience; at the same time, without having to work with each individual, we can change their feelings and beliefs and implant appropriate commands in them to ensure their future behavior, even after they are free and return home.
By reducing the power of resistance of an individual, a group or a nation and by carrying out a continuous action of degradation and humiliation, we can induce a state of shock under which the individual, group or nation will accept any command given.
The first thing that must be degraded, in any nation, is the very state of Man. Nations that have a high ethical standard are difficult to conquer. Their feelings and convictions are hard to shake, their loyalty to the leaders of the country is great, and what they usually call their spiritual integrity is impossible to violate by coercion and brutality. It is not effective to attack a nation in such a state of mind. Therefore the main purpose of Psychopolitics is to lower the level of this state of mind to the point where the nation can be enslaved. The first target of Psychopolitics is Man. He must be lowered and transformed from a being with spiritual life into a pattern of animal reactions. Man must come to think of himself as an animal, capable only of animal reactions. Man must no longer believe that he or those around him are capable of "spiritual resistance" or noble feelings.
The best approach to the action of degrading the human being is, in its first stages, propaganda based on so-called "scientific theories" about Man. Man must be constantly demonstrated and with strong arguments that he is a mechanism devoid of individuality and that the individualistic reactions of some are the result of their mental imbalance. The population must be determined to consider that an individual who resists, in any form, the actions of enslaving his people, is a mentally unbalanced man, whose "eccentric" behaviors are explained by the fact that he is a nervous patient and that, being in this state, he must be subjected to the treatment of a psycho-politician.
The ideal situation would be for this degradation program to be applied to the country's military forces, and for the army to come to the conclusion that the only solution for those who refuse to obey orders, thereby proving that they are mentally unbalanced, is to subject them to "mental treatment." The enslavement of the population can only fail if these rebels are allowed to exercise their influence over their fellow citizens, inciting them to revolt and appealing to their noble feelings and love of freedom. If these recalcitrant individuals are not isolated and handed over to psychopolitical agents from the very first stages of our action to enslave the nation in question, they will cause us nothing but trouble throughout the process.
Government officials, students, intellectuals of all kinds must be indoctrinated by any means, in such a way that they reach the firm conviction that impenitent leaders, ambitious, recalcitrant individuals are people who are maladaptive to the environment, who can only be cured by resorting to psychopolitical agents who deal with mental health.
By diminishing general trust in the status conferred by the quality of Man and cooperating with important economic factors implanted in the country, it is relatively simple to isolate citizens from each other, to make them doubt the competence of their rulers, and to cause them to ask us to be their leaders.
Within the educational programs of Psychopolitics, we must take care to search, among young people of different categories and ages, for those who will become the future leaders of the country and to educate them in the conviction that man is, in his essence, an animal like any other. These young people must be taught to reject individual ideas and behaviors. First of all, they must be formed in the conviction that the salvation of Man can come from his good adaptation to the environment.
This educational program in the field of Psychopolitics can be accomplished, under the best conditions, if mandatory training in some fields such as psychology or some other related science is introduced into schools, and by ensuring that each psychopolitical training program is supervised by a psychiatrist who must be an experienced psychopolitical agent.
Considering that in foreign countries the Church seems to have a very great power to influence and ennoble spirits, we must take care that, by all means, any action of any church is completely discredited. Religion must be considered obsolete, by psycho-political indoctrination demonstrating that there is no soul and that Man is an animal. The lying mechanisms of Christianity have made man perform, without any purpose, all kinds of acts of bravery. By telling people that there is an afterlife, their fear of the consequences of acts of courage performed by them during life has been greatly reduced. If we want the people to obey our orders without murmuring, this fear must be greatly increased. Therefore, faith in the Church must disappear and the power of the Church must be annihilated step by step.
In his program of degrading Man, the psychopolitical agent must take every deeply religious family and cause one of its members to become neurotic or insane, and then claim that this neurosis or psychosis is the result of the patient's religious faith. Religion must become synonymous with neurosis or psychosis. Deeply religious people will be considered less and less responsible for their own mental health and will be placed more and more in the care of psychopolitical agents.
If we succeed in corrupting the institutions of the country, in bringing about a general degradation of the people, in interfering in the economic affairs of the country, until poverty and mental depression are reached, a few minor shocks will be enough to produce, in the entire population of the country, a profoundly obedient reaction or a state of hysteria. To bring the entire nation into this state of mind, the psychopolitical agent has a long and arduous journey to travel; however, for the realization of our entire program, no more than twenty or thirty years are needed, for we possess all the weapons necessary to achieve our objectives.
9.
Organizing mental health campaigns
The psychopolitical agent must always be careful to use every opportunity to organize, "for the good of the community," mental health clubs or groups. By inviting the population to cooperate in various mental health programs, we can induce in their ranks a great fear of nervous diseases. Moreover, each of these mental health groups, if well directed, can come to exert a certain legislative pressure on the government, with the aim of strengthening the position of the psychopolitical agent and of obtaining for him government scholarships and other rights; thus the government is brought to the position of financing its own collapse.
From these mental health organizations, any truly competent specialist in matters relating to mental imbalances and their treatment must be eliminated. In organizations of this type there must be no priests, well-trained psychoanalysts, or valuable hypnotists. These, having the necessary knowledge in the field of mental imbalances and their treatment, and experience in caring for the sick, if they are allowed to benefit from state institutions and receive specialized literature, will sooner or later have suspicions about the activities undertaken by the psychopolitical agent. These individuals must therefore be discredited and excluded from the organizations, as being "untrained," "unqualified," "swindlers," or "swindlers."
No mental health movement with real therapeutic aims should be allowed to continue in any country. For example, in China, the use of acupuncture in the treatment of mental and physical disorders should be completely discredited and eliminated, because this method has some efficacy, and those who practice it, through long experience, come to understand many of the principles underlying mental health actions. Using various arguments, the psychopolitical agent must always occupy the position of the highest authority in the field of mental health. There is always the danger that mental health problems will be solved by some individual or group other than the one we control, which could disrupt the program carried out by the psychopolitical agent in his mental health clubs.
Municipal officials, people in important social positions, and all sorts of other personalities who lack knowledge in the field should be invited to take part in the work of mental health groups. In fact, the whole action is aimed at spending money on improving the working conditions of the psychopolitical agent. The members of these groups should be thoroughly impressed with the idea that the problem of mental illness is so complex that none of them can understand anything about it. The club should be maintained at a high social and financial level.
If the groups interested in community health have already been formed by someone else, they must be infiltrated and taken over by our people; if this is not possible, they must be discredited and dissolved, and local officials must be invited to prohibit their activity, labeling them as dangerous to humans.
When he discovers a hostile group that is also concerned with people's mental health, the psychopolitical agent can resort to the mechanisms triggered by peyote, mescaline and other newer drugs that cause a temporary state of madness. He can send patients, preferably those he has well under control, to the mental health group he wants to destroy, and then the specialists there (preachers of Christian teachings or other religions) will prove their skill by working on their new patients sent by us in order to discredit them. Usually, those in the group targeted for compromise act enthusiastically, wanting to demonstrate their competence. In the middle of their treatment, a discreet injection of peyote, mescaline or some other drug, or a discreetly administered electric shock, will cause symptoms of madness in the patient we send to the enemy group. His case will be reported immediately to the police, after which the patient used by us will be taken and locked up in an asylum organized by psychopolitical agents, to be removed from public view. By proceeding in this way, we will make the authorities convinced that methods that cause mental imbalances are used in this group; as a result, these practices will be discredited, being qualified as harmful, and will be prohibited by law.
The importance of a wide-ranging mental health organization becomes evident when it is observed that any government can be forced to grant psychopolitical agents all kinds of facilities, by establishing psychiatric wards in all national hospitals and institutes in the hands of psychopolitical agents, and by opening clinics where young people can be contacted and re-educated in accordance with the aims of Psychopolitics.
Our mental health groups are a powerful political force that can impose any law or authority the psychopolitical agent desires. The strengthening of the authority of the psychopolitical agents over the mental health organizations is done, first of all, by appealing to education. The psychopolitical agent must ensure that the psychiatrists he controls and the psychologists he has under his orders have been trained over a very long period of time. The longer the training period, the safer the psychopolitical program, because the danger of new practitioners emerging who might reveal things and hinder us in carrying out our psychopolitical program is reduced. Moreover, the members of our groups themselves cannot hope to become thoroughly familiar with all the problems connected with mental health until they have had many years of intensive training.
The headquarters of Psychopolitics are maintained in Vienna, because this city is the birthplace of psychoanalysis. Although our activities have long since exhausted all that the Freudian groups had accumulated, surpassing them, the proximity of Russia and Vienna, where psychopolitics has its headquarters abroad, and the need for psychopolitical agents to "continually perfect their studies" in the home city of psychoanalysis mean that, from time to time, our main working groups can meet here. In our discussions we must be careful to emphasize, at all times, the word "psychoanalysis", claiming that the study of psychoanalysis represents a very important part of the professional training of our psychiatrists.
Psychoanalysis possesses a very valuable vocabulary and is sufficiently limited in its action to avoid the return of psychoanalytical implantations. It can be modernized through our mental health organizations; by learning its theories and believing that they understand some of its basic phenomena, the members of mental health groups can come to consider themselves specialists in this field. Because it emphasizes sex, psychoanalysis is, in itself, a suitable weapon for slandering a man's reputation, and can be used to the full to achieve our goals of degrading the human being. Therefore, when mental health groups are organized, we must take care that the specialized literature placed at the disposal of their members is focused on psychoanalysis.
If in every large city in the country we want to conquer we can form a group of people interested in suppressing juvenile delinquency, in promoting the means of treating mentally unbalanced people, in promoting psychopolitical agents and their actions, the success of the psychopolitical program is assured, because these groups represent a large segment of the population. By making a continuous propaganda on the subject of drug use, homosexuality and depraved behavior of the youth, we can even induce the judges of that country to change their minds and react violently against the youth; this is the moment when, by attracting the youth, we can secure their support.
If the mental health organizations are well established and placed, lines of communication can be established for the benefit of Psychopolitics, from the leading citizens of the country to the government. In this situation, we can hope that, through the influence exercised by these groups, a psychiatric department will be established in every hospital in the country and a psychiatrist will be placed in every company and regiment in the army; also, through the action of our mental health groups, psychopolitical agents can be brought to run all government institutions, where government officials who show a wrong orientation can be placed, to the advantage of the psychopolitician.
If a psychiatric department is established in every hospital and city in the country, we can be sure that, sooner or later, every prominent citizen will end up in the care of psychopolitical agents or their henchmen.
The legalization of the position of psychiatrist in the armed forces and in special institutions of the State can lead to a flow and a fund of information far superior to that which could be obtained by any other program. If every pilot who flies a new plane can be interrogated by a psychopolitical agent, if those who make plans for military action can be investigated by psychopolitical agents, information can be extracted with great ease, by the use of certain drugs administered in such a way that the soldier will not remember afterwards what happened to him; thus any action taken against communism can be completely frustrated. If a nation can be educated in the idea that it must give every recalcitrant soldier into the hands of psychopolitical agents, it will lose its best fighters. The advantages of mental health organizations are obvious, for by exerting great public influence on the government, they can accomplish these important objectives of ours.
The financing of psychopolitical activities is difficult unless it is done by the citizens and the government. Although large sums of money can be obtained from private patients and from persons who have an interest in locking up some close relative in an insane asylum, the millions required are difficult to obtain unless the government cooperates. Cooperation with the government, in order to obtain these large sums of money, is best achieved by organizing mental health groups in which citizens who are part of the country's leadership and who, through their influence, can obtain the support of the government can enter. In this way many programs can be financed which, if this solution did not exist, the psychopoliticians would be forced to give up.
The psychopolitical agent must work continuously to form and maintain as many mental health groups as possible.
Likewise, the psychopolitical agent must spare no effort to eliminate, by any means, all groups that pursue the true healing of the sick, such as: groups that apply acupuncture, found in China; those that appeal to Christian teachings and, in general, faith for healing, common in the United States; those based on Catholic doctrine, in Italy and Spain; and those in England, where the treatment of the sick can be done through various methods of psychological practice.
10
The behavior of the psychopolitician when attacked
The psychopolitician may become the target of attacks directed against him as an individual or as a member of a group. He may be attacked for his communist status or for professional incompetence. The psychopolitician may be attacked by the families of those he has mentally crippled. In all cases, his behavior must be calm and reserved. The psychopolitical agent must rely on the authority given to him by his many years of professional training and the fact that he has actively participated in organizing actions in the field of "mental health."
If he has not done his job well, groups hostile to him may expose and attack him for his status as a psychopolitician. Members of these hostile groups may question the efficacy of psychiatric treatments, such as the use of electric shock, drugs, and brain surgery. That is why the psychopolitical agent must be able to present, at any time, as many documents as possible proving the existence of a huge number of encouraging cases, in which healing has occurred as a result of the use of electric shock, brain surgery, drugs and a specific general treatment. We note that these cases do not need to be real, but they must be well supported by documents and presented in such a way that they can constitute excellent evidence for justice.
When attacked for his submission to a foreign country, the psychopolitical agent must explain his connections with Vienna on the basis that Vienna is the place where all important problems concerning human mental activity are best studied. It is even more important that, using his authority, the psychopolitical agent show his disregard for the mental health of the person attacking him and, if the psychiatric archives of the country are adequate, extract from them all kinds of compromising data which he can then present in a counterattack.
If anyone tries to show that psychotherapy is, in this case, a psychopolitical activity, the best defense is to question the mental health of the attacker. Other methods of defense, all very effective, consist in using professional authority, the psychopolitical agent, in validating psychiatric practices by long and impressive statistics, and even in removing the attacker by administering the indicated treatment to trigger a state of temporary insanity that will last as long as the trial lasts. By this last method, the attacker will be discredited more than by any other; however, its practice being dangerous, it should be used only in extreme cases. Psychopoliticians must avoid crime and violence; the exception is situations in which crime or acts of violence could be carried out without risk, under the protection of the institution, against people who have been diagnosed as mentally unbalanced. When the death toll in a given institution becomes "unreasonable," city and judicial officials can use this situation to make political capital. If the psychopolitical agent or his working group have done their job well, they have compiled a file containing compromising data and information, confirmed by documents, concerning the person of the attacker or his relatives; this data must be used in such a way as to discourage investigators.
After a period of indoctrination, the population will come to believe that madness must be treated by psychopolitical violence. Psychopolitical activities must become the only recognized remedy for curing mental imbalances. This way of thinking can be carried so far that it is illegal to omit electric shock and brain surgery from the treatment of a patient.
In order to defend psychopolitical activities, one must proceed in such a way as to always show the great complexity of psychiatric, psychoanalytic, and psychological technology. Any hearing in the Court of Justice must be burdened with terminology that is far too complicated for the clerk to transcribe. Terms like schizophrenia, paranoia, and other terms that designate states that cannot be defined must be dispensed with.
The psychopolitical tests available to the public need not necessarily agree with each other. The different types of madness must be characterized using difficult terms. The patient's condition must be presented using the most obscure language possible, for this avalanche of difficult words may create, in the minds of those investigating the case or of the judges, the impression that they are dealing with a scientific approach, but that it is too complex to be understood. We do not believe that the judges or members of the commission of inquiry will propose to study the problem of madness in more depth, because they themselves, being part of the indoctrinated masses, experience a strong sense of intimidation, especially if the psychopoliticians have taken care to present documented articles in the press about the horror of the disease.
In the case of a hearing or a trial, the frightening character of madness and the threat it poses to society must be exaggerated until the Court of Justice or the committee of inquiry concludes that the psychopolitical agent is absolutely necessary in his post and that he should not be harassed because of the actions of irrational people.
The best defense consists in a prompt attack on the mental health of the attacker before any hearing has taken place. The saying that "Only madmen attack psychiatrists" must be well known to everyone. The idea must be instilled in society that paranoia is a condition characterized by "the individual believing that he is being attacked by communists." This method of defense will be found to be effective.
A good defense strategy must include measures to eliminate from society all real psychotherapy activity. This must be systematically destroyed, because real psychotherapy could reveal the results of our psychopolitical activities.
In a capitalist country, the judiciary is so slow and incompetent that cases are first settled by the press. We have arranged things much better in Russia; we bring people to trial, all the evidence they are to give having been implanted in their minds before the trial takes place.
If any rumor or pamphlet against psychopolitical activities appears in any publication, it must be trivialized and qualified as a lie; at the first opportunity its author and the publisher will be labeled as madmen, a fact which will be confirmed after, by the use of drugs, a state of madness is induced in them.
11
The use of Psychopolitics in the spread of communism
Reactionary nations are so made that they attack a word without even knowing its meaning. The action of conquering a nation being based on the induction of communist principles into the minds of the people, it is not necessary that the term "communism" be associated, from the beginning, with the educational measures used.
In the United States we have succeeded in modifying the works of William James and others, giving them a more acceptable character, and in placing the principles of Karl Marx, Pavlov, Lamarck, as well as those of dialectical materialism in the anthologies of psychology, in such a way that anyone who studies in the field and reads these books becomes, imperceptibly, a man prepared to accept the idea of the balanced and equitable character of communism.
With all the psychology departments in the United States filled by our people or by people who can be influenced by our people, the massive use of these texts is guaranteed. They enjoy authority and are taught to students with great care.
The constant pressure exerted by our people on the legislative bodies of the United States may lead to the adoption of legislation according to which every young person studying in a school or university will be required to take psychology courses.
Thus, achieving good communist indoctrination of the educated strata of the population becomes relatively easier; when they are given the opportunity to choose between the capitalist and communist systems, those indoctrinated will consider the communist system to be much more balanced and fairer than the capitalist one, which they will judge through our lens.
12
Violent remedies
People, in general, understanding that a certain violence is necessary in dealing with the mentally unbalanced, accept harsh treatments that seem justified to them. Starting from a low level of violence, such as the use of straitjackets and other means of restraint, it is relatively easy for us to overcome people's reserved attitude towards violence and to add, in the treatment of the sick, an increasingly greater dose of cruelty.
If we increase the brutality of the treatment, the hope that people will place in it will increase, and the protest of the individual to whom the treatment is applied cannot occur because, after its administration, the patient is no longer capable of any action. The family of the person under treatment also does not enjoy much credibility, on the grounds that it has, in its midst, a madman. In any case, the protest of the family must be discredited.
The more violent the treatment, the greater the power of command of the psychopolitical agent will become. Brain operations must come to be regarded as commonplace. Although the actual number of deaths must be concealed whenever possible, it is not in the interest of the psychopolitical agent that many deaths should occur during these operations.
The public must be gradually educated about electric shock treatment; first, they must be convinced that this treatment is very effective in curing the disease and that it has a calming effect on the patient. Then the public will be informed that, in most cases, electric shock attacks the teeth and spine, and finally they will be told that, very often, it leads to the death of the patient or, at best, to the destruction of the spine and the sudden loss of teeth. I doubt whether any "layman" in the matter could bear to witness even a single session of electric shock treatment. And certainly "outsiders" could not bear to see a lobotomy or a transorbital leucotomy performed. Nevertheless, the public must be brought, if possible, to the level where they will consider these to be the indicated treatments, and the details of these treatments can be made public; thus the prestige of the psychopolitical agent will increase.
The more violent the treatment, the more the idea that madness is a hopeless disease is emphasized.
Society must be raised to the level where every recalcitrant youth can be brought before the courts and given to the care of a psychopolitical agent who, by administering electric shocks, will reduce him to complete and dull docility for the rest of his life.
By a continuous and increasing publicity given to violent treatments, the population will eventually come to tolerate the institution of treatments so terrible that, after their application, the patients will return home more resembling ghosts than real people. In this way a large part of the population, especially that which has proven recalcitrant, can be reduced to a state of total obedience to the psychopolitician.
The population must be convinced, by various methods, that mental illness can only be treated by electric shock, torture, deprivation of all kinds, humiliation, discredit, violence, mutilation, murder, and the administration of punishment in all its forms. At the same time, society must be educated in the belief that the number of insane people is increasing. This belief creates a state of panic and makes the psychopolitician a savior who, in time, will come to rule society.
13
Recruiting Psychopolitical Acolytes
The psychopolitical acolyte is a well-trained individual who acts in the service of the psychopolitical agent to whom he obeys without complaint.
Since almost all people consider it normal to submit to a certain work regime during professional training, it is not too difficult for people preparing to work in the field of mental health to be convinced to accept the administration of drugs and electric shocks of medium and low strength. If we succeed in doing this, the psychopolitical acolyte can be formed immediately, based on the use of the PDH (Punishment-Drug-Hypnosis) method.
In recruiting those who are to become active in the "mental health" movement, it is very good to be careful to attract to its ranks only students who are already, to some extent, affected by depravity or those who have been "treated" by our psychopolitical agents .
In view of this recruitment, we will make the activity in the field of mental health very attractive, both financially and sexually.
The dose of promiscuity that can be induced in the minds of patients acts strongly to the advantage of the psychopolitical agent who is in charge of recruiting cadres. The young man targeted for recruitment can be involved in several compromising sexual relationships, the evidence of which, well prepared, can be used as blackmail material, to prevent any situation in which the effect of the PDH method, which makes the young man blindly execute the orders given, may no longer manifest itself.
By promising young people that they will have countless opportunities to have sex, that they will be absolute masters of the patients' bodies and minds, and that they will be able to do anything without being discovered, we will be able to attract to our side many good young people for such work, who will be delighted to comply with the indicated psychopolitical activities.
Given that he has under his control all the mentally unbalanced individuals in the country, that most of them have criminal tendencies, and that, as the movement grows, he can even recruit the real criminals, the psychopolitician comes to have at his disposal an enormous number of human beings that he can use to carry out any project he wishes. If he is given the indicated dose of punishment and implantation treatment, the mentally unbalanced man will commit, without any resistance, all kinds of destructive deeds, and a series of projects, such as the degradation of the country's youth, the defamation of its leaders, the subordination of justice, will become very easy to carry out.
The psychopolitician has the advantage of being able to qualify as a symptom of the disease any attempt by the patient to make the orders received public.
The psychopolitician must adhere to state institutions and avoid, whenever possible, private practice, for these institutions give him the possibility of controlling a very large number of people who can be used for the good of communism. When he works in a private setting, however, the psychopolitician must come into contact only with wealthy families and with State officials.
14
Destruction of religious groups
We must mention that, until recently, the entire field of mental imbalances, from mild forms, such as anxiety, to serious forms, such as psychosis, fell within the Church's sphere of activity.
According to tradition, both in civilized and barbaric countries, the mental health of the citizens was given entirely to the care of the priests. As a fact of great importance to the psychopolitician, it must be said that this tendency still exists even now among the population of every country in the Western world, and that the penetration of scientific ideas into this sphere of activity has taken place only in official circles and never among the general public.
The wonderful working instrument offered to us by Wundt would be of no use if, as happens in capitalist countries, the officials did not insist on the fact that, in order to solve mental problems, "scientific practices" must be used. If this insistence did not exist, or if it were temporarily interrupted, in matters concerning their mental health the masses would follow the foolish instructions of priests and, in general, of the ministers of the Church. In Europe and America today, the "scientific practices" used in the field of mental illness would soon disappear if they were not very much supported by the officials.
It must be carefully concealed that the incidence of mental illness has only increased since the introduction of "scientific practices." It is necessary to constantly say that the cause of the increase in the number of neuroses in the world is to be sought in the "stressful rhythm of modern life." In fact, we are not interested in what the cause of this increase is. It is important to us that there be no action of any kind that would reveal things and provide evidence that would encourage people to turn to the church. If they are left to think freely and make their own decisions, without the interference of officials, when the question of internment of people they care about arises, they will choose the sanatoriums organized by the clergy and will avoid, like the plague, the asylums where "scientific practices" are applied.
At the slightest encouragement, people will be ready to support the idea that the whole problem of mental illness should be left to the churches. And there are churches that are eager to do so. That terrible monster, the Roman Catholic Church, still dominates the mental health work throughout the Christian world; the ministers of that Church are well trained and ready at any time to draw people to their cause. In the Fundamentalist and Pentecostal groups, campaigns are being organized for the treatment of mental illness, which, because of the good results obtained, are drawing many people to Christianity. In the field of natural healing, the Church of Christ's Teachings, of Boston, Massachusetts, excels in capturing the goodwill and appreciation of the public, and conducts a large number of sanitariums. All these sanitariums must be destroyed. The churchmen who work in these sanitariums must be ridiculed and discredited, and every treatment they prescribe must be branded as a fraud. A fifth of the psychopolitician's time must be devoted to the destruction of everything that could pose a threat. Just as in Russia we had to destroy the Church and did it after many years of sustained work, so we must destroy the religious beliefs of the people in the countries we want to conquer.
In their efforts to cure mental illness, Church people and practicing believers must be harassed at every step. Their best results must be turned into failures by any means.
We must not care about the effect we produce on the population. On the contrary, we must be very careful about the effect we produce on the officials. We must induce in all the people, who represent the active and influential factors in the country, an implacable hatred of methods based on religion. We must corrupt the prosecutors and judges and make them believe, with the strength with which they formerly believed in God, that Christian teaching or any other religious practice that might be the basis of a mental health activity is wrong, harmful, instigating madness, hated by the people and, therefore, intolerable.
In this campaign, we must win over every medical organization in the field. To succeed, we must exploit the greed of those who work in these organizations, and bribe them; we must exploit even their sense of humanity, inviting them to cooperate with us in the action of eliminating all religiously-based mental health organizations. We must be careful that the organizations we want to win over to our side have only well-indoctrinated communists as counselors on mental health issues . This is necessary so that these organizations can be used. The people who work in them are generally not very bright and are easily intimidated. Their cloak and authority can be used successfully to mask any operation that we need to hide. We must make them partners in our actions, so that they can never get out of our power and discredit us.
In America, we have been fighting since the beginning of the century to destroy all Christian influences, and we have succeeded. Although we seem to be lenient today toward those who believe in Christianity, let us never forget that our struggle to influence the Christian world, to make it act in the direction of our objectives, is not yet over. When we have succeeded in doing so, we may consider that we have put an end to the influence of the Church everywhere. Look at the believers in Russia, who look like trained monkeys. If all the monkeys in other countries come to believe in us, they will not realize that they are, in fact, like animals tied to a long rope.
You must act until the term "religion" is synonymous with "madness." You must act until city and county officials, as well as state leaders , stop thinking and start attacking religious groups labeled as enemies of the people.
Remember that all countries are run, in fact, by the few, who only pretend to consult with the many. America is no exception. The petty official, as well as the law-maker, can be led to believe anything we want, even the worst things about anyone. We do not need to try to convince the masses. But it is necessary to act, without ceasing, on the officials, using all kinds of means, such as slandering various people, outright lies, false evidence, and to carry out a continuous propaganda to convince them to fight against the Church and against every practicing believer.
Just like the officials, true healers can come to believe anything bad about the work of the Church in this field, if it is shown to them that the Church represents a dangerous competitor to them. But if these healers dare to encroach on any of our won rights, they will be eliminated, just like those who believe in Christianity.
We must be like a parasitic vine that surrounds a tree. We will use the tree to climb up, then, by strangling it, we will grow strong, feeding on its sap.
We must remove every obstacle from our path. We must use, as a tool, every authority that falls into our hands. In the end, after a few decades, we will be able to dispense with every foreign authority and we will win, to the glory of the Party.

Proposals that should be rejected
There are some movements that could harm us and that could interrupt the process of psychopolitical conquest. These movements, emerging from some corner of the country, could eventually gain ground; taking this into account, they must be spotted, before they become strong, and destroyed.
Large and powerful groups in the State may propose that the problem of treating mental illness be given back to those who have dealt with it for centuries, within the population, that is, to the care of the priests. We must fight against any attempt to put Churchmen at the head of institutions for treating mental illness, using as arguments their incompetence and the fact that religion causes mental imbalances. The worst thing that could happen during the development of the psychopolitical program would be that the problem of caring for mentally unbalanced people would be given into the hands of the priesthood.
If there are mental hospitals organized by religious groups, they must, at all costs, be discredited and closed, because it may happen that the real number of patients cured in these institutions will become known and compared with the situation in other hospitals in the country, where cases of recovery are completely absent; this comparison could lead to an action to place the clergy at the head of the institutions dealing with the problem of mental illness. The arguments against this action must be used as soon as possible, in order to eliminate any possibility of it ever happening .
The legislation of a country must be carefully drafted so that it does not grant any rights to the mentally unbalanced. We must fight resolutely against any bills and any constitutional amendments that would make it illegal to harm a mentally unbalanced person, arguing that only violent measures can succeed in the case of such patients. If the law were to protect the mentally unbalanced - as it usually does not - the entire psychopolitical program could collapse.
We must combat any action to put under surveillance the documents required for the hospitalization of a mentally unbalanced patient. This must be left entirely in the hands of persons under the control of psychopolitical agents. Hospitalization must involve a minimum of formalities, and the patient's exit from the hospital must not be possible by force of law. Any attempt to complete the legal steps necessary for the detention and release of patients from asylums must be combated on the grounds that all these cases are urgent. To eliminate such an attempt, the best thing is to establish a psychiatry pavilion and a cloister for the mentally ill in every hospital in the country.
We must prevent any action that might accidentally bring to light any work of a psychopolitical nature. All literature dealing with mental illness and its treatment must be carefully concealed, first by keeping it under conditions of real security and, secondly, by using complicated language to make it incomprehensible. The real number of recoveries and deaths must never be published in the newspapers. Any research that attempts to discover whether psychiatry or psychology has ever cured anyone must be fought and ridiculed; for this action all psychopolitical agents must be mobilized. At first, this research must be ignored; if this proves impossible, all the psychopolitical agents in the country must come into action, with all their authority and fighting capacity. Any tactic can be used to prevent such investigations . To prevent them, we must have documents with a technical appearance ready, from which it will be evident that there are a huge number of cases of healing by means of psychiatry and psychology; whenever possible, the percentages of healing should be entered in these documents, no matter how false they may be. In this way a base of "evidence" is formed which can frustrate any attempt to identify any person who has been healed by means of psychiatry or psychology.
If it turns out that the psychopolitician has connections with communists, these connections must be attributed to his own negligence, and the psychopolitician must be urgently labeled as a type who passes for an original among those in his profession.
The authors of works that attempt to present the image of a society under total mental control and devoid of real freedom must be pushed to infamous acts or suicide, in order to discredit their works.
Any law that liberalizes any treatment practice must be immediately opposed and repealed. All treatment practices must approximate those approved by the authorities; we must not tolerate any other opinions, because they could bring the truth to light.
Actions that aim to raise the level of youth must be thwarted by our people, because they could annihilate our work of introducing delinquency, drug use, alcoholism, and sexual promiscuity among young people.
Communists working in the press and on the radio must be protected whenever possible, eliminating, through the methods of Psychopolitics, any person who attacks them forcefully. In turn, communists in the press and on the radio must be convinced to use every opportunity to publicize psychopolitical actions, within the framework of the "science" broadcast.
Within the borders of Russia and its satellites, no group dealing with mental problems should be allowed to exist. Only well-vetted psychopolitical agents can continue to work here, their activity being carried out only for the benefit of the government or against prisoners hostile to the regime.
Any action aimed at excluding psychiatrists and psychologists from military service must be combated.
Any investigation into the "suicide" or sudden mental breakdown of a political leader must be conducted solely by Psychopolitical agents or their acolytes, regardless of whether Psychopolitics is to blame or not.
The use of violence against persons who attack the communist doctrine, or their killing, must be avoided, being declared forbidden. This is because acts of violence directed against the enemies of communism could make martyrs of them. The methods that must be used against them are discrediting and accusing them of madness, which will eventually lead them to the care of psychopolitical agents, that is, psychiatrists and psychologists controlled by us.

ConCluSIonS
In this age of unlimited armament and national antagonisms, when the outbreak of atomic war with the capitalist countries is always possible, Psychopolitics must be more effective than ever.
All psychopolitical programs must be extended to support and promote the activities of all other communist agents working within the targeted nation.
The failure of Psychopolitics could entail the atomic bombing of the mother country.
If Psychopolitics succeeds in fulfilling its mission within the capitalist countries of the world, the danger of atomic war is eliminated forever - for Russia will have subjugated all her enemies.
Communism has spread over one-sixth of the inhabited part of the globe. Marxist doctrine has penetrated the rest of the world. The extension of the communist social order is victorious everywhere. The spread of communism in the world has never been achieved by the power of battles, but by the conquest of the minds of men; In Psychopolitics, the methods of conquering the minds of men have been perfected to the highest degree.
The psychopolitical agent must succeed in his activity, because his success leads to the establishment of peace in the world. On the other hand, his failure may lead to the destruction of the civilized parts of the earth, since some crazy capitalists have atomic power in their hands.
The end justifies the means. The degradation of men is less inhuman than their destruction by atomic explosion, because, for any animal that lives only once, any kind of life is better than death.
The aim pursued by war is to take possession of the conquered people. If a people can be conquered and dominated without war, the aim pursued is achieved without the destruction inherent in war having occurred. It is an objective of the highest value.
The psychopolitician finds his reward in the almost unlimited control he has over people, in the free exercise of his passions, and in the triumph of communism over the stupidity of the enemies of the people.
